D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了New Brunswick的美食旅游目的地，描述了四种不同的旅游体验。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Kings Landing Tour的“Wandering through the open-air museum’s historic buildings and chatting with interpreters dressed in period clothing about life in the Saint John River valley in the 19th century is an immersive cultural experience, but eating history is next level. Tasting a meal in the King Head Inn’s attractive dining room, where traditional pub food evokes an immediate journey back in time.(漫步在露天博物馆的历史建筑中，与身着古装的讲解员聊天，讲述19世纪圣约翰河谷的生活，这是一种身临其境的文化体验，但品尝历史是另一种体验。在King Head酒店迷人的餐厅品尝一顿饭，传统的酒吧食物唤起立即回到过去的旅程。)”可知，Kings Landing Tour提供了一个身临其境的历史体验，游客可以漫步在露天博物馆的历史建筑中，与穿着19世纪服饰的讲解员交流，了解圣约翰河谷的历史生活。特别是在King Head Inn的餐厅中品尝传统酒吧食物，这种体验能够立即将人们带回到过去。因此Kings Landing Tour最能让你感觉回到了过去。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Paddle Tour的“Second Nature Outdoors offers a sunrise paddle tour on the Saint John River that starts with a canoe out to Hartt Island, where guides teach how to roast coffee over a campfire. Drinking coffee and eating local cheese with river views is the perfect way to begin the day.(Second Nature Outdoors提供圣约翰河上的日出桨游，从独木舟出发，前往Hartt Island，导游会教你如何在篝火上烤咖啡。喝咖啡，吃着当地的奶酪并欣赏河景是开始一天的完美方式。) ”可知，游客开始于圣约翰河上的日出划桨之旅，然后前往Hartt Island。在此过程中，导游会教游客如何在篝火上烘烤咖啡，喝咖啡和享用当地的奶酪，并且在河边欣赏景色，这显然是一段令人愉快的独木舟之旅。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Old-growth Forest Tour的“Afterwards, they prepare wild rice and corn pancakes with ingredients straight from Cecelia’s garden.(之后，他们用塞西莉亚菜园里的食材准备野生大米和玉米煎饼。)”可知，游客可以品尝用野米和玉米制作的煎饼；根据Kings Landing Tour的“Tasting a meal in the King Head Inn’s attractive dining room,where traditional pub food evokes an immediate journey back in time.(在King Head酒店迷人的餐厅品尝一顿饭，传统的酒吧食物唤起立即回到过去的旅程。)”可知，游客在King Head酒店餐厅中品尝传统的酒吧食物；根据Paddle Tour的“Drinking coffee and eating local cheese with river views is the perfect way to begin the day.(喝咖啡，吃着当地的奶酪，欣赏河景，是开始一天的完美方式。)”可知，游客可以喝咖啡和吃当地的奶酪；根据Ganong Chocolate Museum Tour的“The highlight must go to the hands-on activity where you participate in the complicated process of hand-dipping chocolates and taste the fruit of your labor!(最精彩的一定是动手活动，参与手工浸巧克力的复杂过程，品尝自己劳动的果实！)”可知，游客可以亲自参与手工蘸巧克力的过程，并品尝自己制作的巧克力。由此可知，这四个旅行的共同点就是它们都涉及品尝美味的菜肴或小吃。故选D。 B On these dark winter evenings, I find myself daydreaming of summer. I think of the one activity and place that quiets my mind: clamming (挖蛤) on Cape Cod. Before I had kids, it was a much-needed active outing after days of vacation-level eating. But when I went with kids, the experience took a turn from relaxation to devotion. The bay became part of the world I was trying to build for my children. The act of clamming became an unexpected escape,a moment when I wasn't thinking about 20 different things, when I wasn’t really thinking at all. This year, for the first time, my children joined in the clamming. I kept yelping (尖叫) when my children almost raked (用耙子耙) my feet. But there was joy in having something to teach them, to connect them not only to a generational tradition but also to the history of the land. And when they raised their basket and it wasn’t a rock for the hundredth time, but rather a shining clam, it was a richer moment than if they had struck gold. Seeing a child holding up a clam with an expression of success on his face does more for the heart than any meditation (冥想) ever could. I hope that one day my children will view clamming as the relaxation that I do. They are not there yet.At this point, it is more adventure than getaway. At the end of our clamming morning, my 6-year-old refused to leave, insisting she needed one more clam. When she finally caught one more clam, she laughed, pride written all over her face. To be fair, perhaps what she needed to get from clamming was not what I needed. Perhaps what she needed was to have a tiny bit of control over this wild world, one in which she has little say. In that moment, she was victorious, if not in calm, then in clam. 24. Why did the author go clamming before having children? A. To get together with her friends. B. To spend quality time with her family. C. To escape the responsibility as an adult. D. To enjoy relaxation after overeating. 25. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The experience of clamming. B. The benefits of meditation. C. The change of a generational tradition. D. The necessity of exploring the land. 26. How do the kids find clamming? A. Demanding and boring. B. Complicated and tiring. C. Adventurous and rewarding. D. Painful and disappointing. 27. What can we infer from the last paragraph about the author and her kids? A. They are successful in removing stress. B. Clamming is the most interesting to them. C. They refused to leave the bay. D. Clamming has different meanings to them. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章描述了作者对于夏季挖蛤活动的热爱，以及当她与孩子们一起挖蛤时，这种活动从简单的放松转变为一种更深层次的奉献和连接。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“I think of the one activity and place that quiets my mind: clamming (挖蛤) on Cape Cod.( 我想到了一个能让我安静下来的活动和地方：在科德角挖蛤。)”和文章第二段“Before I had kids, it was a much-needed active outing after days of vacation-level eating. (在我有孩子之前，这是在几天的假期饮食之后非常需要的一次积极的郊游。)”可知，作者在文中提到，在她有孩子之前，挖蛤是一种在度假期间大吃大喝后急需的户外活动，可以让她放松身心。因此，作者去挖蛤是为了在暴饮暴食后享受放松的时光。故选D。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“This year, for the first time, my children joined in the clamming. I kept yelping (尖叫) when my children almost raked (用耙子耙) my feet. But there was joy in having something to teach them, to connect them not only to a generational tradition but also to the history of the land. And when they raised their basket and it wasn’t a rock for the hundredth time, but rather a shining clam, it was a richer moment than if they had struck gold. Seeing a child holding up a clam with an expression of success on his face does more for the heart than any meditation (冥想) ever could.(今年，我的孩子们第一次加入了挖蛤的行列。当我的孩子们差点用耙子耙到我的脚时，我一直在尖叫。但有东西可以教给他们，不仅能把他们与世代的传统联系起来，还能把他们与这片土地的历史联系起来，这让他们感到高兴。当他们第100次举起篮子的时候，发现篮子里不是一块石头，而是一只闪闪发光的蛤蜊，那一刻比他们挖到金子还要丰富。看到一个孩子拿着一只蛤蜊，脸上带着成功的表情，比任何冥想都更能打动人心。)”可知，第三段主要描述了作者和孩子们一起挖蛤的经历，包括作者的感受和孩子们的表现。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“This year, for the first time, my children joined in the clamming. I kept yelping (尖叫) when my children almost raked (用耙子耙) my feet. But there was joy in having something to teach them, to connect them not only to a generational tradition but also to the history of the land.(今年，我的孩子们第一次加入了挖蛤的行列。当我的孩子们差点用耙子耙到我的脚时，我一直在尖叫。但有东西可以教给他们，不仅能把他们与世代的传统联系起来，还能把他们与这片土地的历史联系起来，这让他们感到高兴。)”和最后一段“I hope that one day my children will view clamming as the relaxation that I do. They are not there yet. At this point, it is more adventure than getaway.(我希望有一天我的孩子们能像我一样把挖蛤视为一种放松。他们还没到那一步。在这一点上，它更像是冒险而不是逃避。)”以及“When she finally caught one more clam, she laughed, pride written all over her face.(她终于又抓到一只蛤蜊时，她笑了，脸上写满了自豪。)”可知，孩子们认为挖蛤是既冒险又有意义的。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I hope that one day my children will view clamming as the relaxation that I do. They are not there yet. At this point, it is more adventure than getaway.( 我希望有一天我的孩子们能像我一样把挖蛤视为一种放松。他们还没到那一步。在这一点上，它更像是冒险而不是逃避。)”和“To be fair, perhaps what she needed to get from clamming was not what I needed. Perhaps what she needed was to have a tiny bit of control over this wild world, one in which she has little say.(公平地说，也许她需要从捕蛤中得到的并不是我需要的。也许她需要的是对这个狂野的世界有一点点控制，一个她几乎没有发言权的世界。)”可知，最后一段中提到作者和孩子对挖蛤有不同的看法和需求，作者希望孩子将挖蛤视为放松的方式，但孩子可能更需要的是在野生世界中拥有一点点控制权，这表明挖蛤对他们有不同的意义。故选D。 C A man whose right hand was cut in an operation at the age of 20 is now able to feel the temperature of the objects he touches with his prosthetic (假体的) hand, thanks to a new device integrated in it. The device, called MiniTouch, was developed last year. It is made by two components, an active thermal (热的) sensor which measures temperature and generates realistic signals which are then sent to the second component, a thermal stimulator (刺激器). It was first tested as a standalone device at the prosthetic centre of the Italian Institute for Insurance against Accidents at Work (INAIL) near Bologna. INAIL’ s engineers integrated the thermal sensor on the index finger (食指) of the prosthetic hand of one patient, and the thermal stimulator into the connection point that secures the robotic hand to the forearm, in such a way that it touched a point on the remaining arm that aroused thermal feelings in the person’s a prosthetic index finger-the typical feeling of still having the finger. During eight experimental sessions over six months, the participant could identify objects with three different temperatures or made of different materials. He could also determine whether he was touching a prosthetic arm or a real arm while unable to see, and grasp and move blocks of different temperature in order to classify them from the hottest to the coldest. “The richness and realism of the feelings provided to wearers is key to the effectiveness of a prosthetic hand in replacing a natural hand in daily activities,” says Emanuele Gruppioni, who led the clinical tests. “As a next step we will work with a new prosthetic hand, developed in cooperation with the Italian Institute of Technology, to improve the MiniTouch integration and have a light and wearable thermal prosthetic hand,” Gruppioni concludes. 28. What’s the function of paragraph 1? A. To present a problem. B. To make a comparison. C. To introduce the topic. D. To clarify a concept. 29. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The thermal stimulator. B. The connection point. C. The index finger. D. The thermal sensor. 30. What does MiniTouch enable the patient to do when tested? A. Change the materials of the objects. B. Integrate a thermal sensor on his real arm. C. Feel the temperature of the objects. D. Send thermal information to engineers. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. A man who has a prosthetic hand B. MiniTouch that consists of two components C. A prosthetic hand that feels the heat D. Engineers who made a wearable prosthetic hand 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. C 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了能够感受热度的假肢手MiniTouch，包括其组成部分、测试效果以及未来的改进方向。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A man whose right hand was cut in an operation at the age of 20 is now able to feel the temperature of the objects he touches with his prosthetic (假体的) hand, thanks to a new device integrated in it.(一名男子在20岁时的一次手术中右手被割伤，由于植入了一种新装置，他现在可以用假手感知接触到的物体的温度。)”和文章第二段“The device, called MiniTouch, was developed last year.(这款名为MiniTouch的设备是去年开发的。)”可知，第一段通过介绍一个20岁时在手术中失去右手的男性现在能够通过他的假肢手感觉到他所触摸的物体的温度，来引出本文的主题——介绍一种名为MiniTouch的新设备。因此，第一段的作用是引入主题。故选C。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“INAIL’ s engineers integrated the thermal sensor on the index finger (食指) of the prosthetic hand of one patient, and the thermal stimulator into the connection point that secures the robotic hand to the forearm, in such a way that it touched a point on the remaining arm that aroused thermal feelings in the person’s a prosthetic index finger-the typical feeling of still having the finger.( INAIL的工程师将热传感器集成在一个患者的假肢手的食指上，并将热刺激器集成到将机械手固定在前臂的连接点上，以便它接触到剩余手臂上的一个点，这个点能唤起患者假肢食指上的热感——一种仍然拥有手指的典型感觉。)”可知，第三段中提到工程师将热传感器集成在假肢手的食指上，并将热刺激器集成到将机械手固定在前臂的连接点上，以便它接触到一个点，这个点能够激发人的假肢食指上的热感。因此，根据上下文，这里的“it”应该指的是热刺激器。故选A。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A man whose right hand was cut in an operation at the age of 20 is now able to feel the temperature of the objects he touches with his prosthetic (假体的) hand, thanks to a new device integrated in it.(一名男子在20岁时的一次手术中右手被割伤，由于植入了一种新装置，他现在可以用假手感知接触到的物体的温度。)”和文章第四段“During eight experimental sessions over six months, the participant could identify objects with three different temperatures or made of different materials. He could also determine whether he was touching a prosthetic arm or a real arm while unable to see, and grasp and move blocks of different temperature in order to classify them from the hottest to the coldest.(在为期六个月的八次实验中，参与者可以识别三种不同温度或不同材料制成的物体。他还可以在看不见的情况下判断自己触摸的是假臂还是真臂，并抓住和移动不同温度的块，以便将它们从最热到最冷进行分类。)”可知，MiniTouch设备使得患者能够感受到物体的温度。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了能够感受热度的假肢手MiniTouch，包括其组成部分、测试效果以及未来的改进方向。因此，最符合文章主题的标题是“A prosthetic hand that feels the heat”（能感受热度的假肢手）。故选C。 D Scientists are embracing artificial intelligence (AI) — from developing “self-driving” laboratories to replacing human participants in social-science experiments with robots. Many disadvantages of AI systems have been discussed. In an article published in Nature this week, social scientists say that AI systems carry a further risk: that researchers perceive such tools as possessed of superhuman abilities when it comes to objectivity, productivity and understanding complex concepts. Scientists planning to use AI “must evaluate these risks now”, write co-authors Lisa Messeri and Molly Crockett. The article is a warning about what could be lost if scientists embrace AI systems without thoroughly considering such risks. Messeri and Crockett examined around 100 papers and books, published mainly over the past five years. From these,they put together a picture of the ways in which scientists see AI systems as enhancing human capabilities. In one “vision”, which they call AI as Oracle, researchers see AI tools as able to tirelessly read and digest scientific papers. In another vision, called AI as Arbiter, systems are perceived as evaluating scientific findings more objectively than do people. In a third vision, AI as Quant, AI tools seem to perform better than the human mind in analyzing data sets. Messeri and Crockett also predict risks that arise from these visions. One is the illusion (幻觉) of explanatory depth, in which people relying on another person-or，in this case，an algorithm (算法) — for knowledge are likely to mistake that knowledge for their own. Another risk is that research becomes skewed (偏颇的) towards studying the kinds of things that AI systems can test. If you’re a scientist planning to use AI, you can reduce these dangers through a number of strategies.All members of the scientific community must view AI use not as unavoidable for any particular task, but rather as a choice with risks and benefits that must be carefully weighed. 32. What is a further risk that AI systems carry according to paragraph 1? A. They perform better than humans. B. Researchers overestimate their capabilities. C. They are able to understand complex concepts. D. Researchers use them in self-driving laboratories. 33. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about AI? A. Its benefits in analyzing scientific data. B. Its roles in helping doing scientific research. C. Its strengths in digesting scientific papers. D. Its advantages in evaluating scientific findings. 34. What is the illusion of explanatory depth? A. Finding the accuracy in algorithmic. B. Denying the mistake of algorithmic. C. Accepting the complexity of algorithmic. D. Considering algorithmic insights as personal understanding. 35. What’s the author’s attitude towards the use of AI in scientific community? A. Cautious. B. Approving. C. Unclear. D. Intolerant. 【答案】32. B 33. B 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了人工智能系统的风险，即研究人员在客观性、生产力和理解复杂概念方面将这些工具视为具有超人能力。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In an article published in Nature this week, social scientists say that AI systems carry a further risk: that researchers perceive such tools as possessed of superhuman abilities when it comes to objectivity, productivity and understanding complex concepts.( 本周发表在《自然》杂志上的一篇文章中，社会科学家们说，人工智能系统还带来了另一个风险：研究人员认为这种工具在客观性、生产力和理解复杂概念方面具有超人的能力)”可知，人工智能系统带来的进一步风险是研究人员高估了它们的能力。故选B项。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“In one “vision”, which they call AI as Oracle, researchers see AI tools as able to tirelessly read and digest scientific papers. In another vision, called AI as Arbiter, systems are perceived as evaluating scientific findings more objectively than do people. In a third vision, AI as Quant, AI tools seem to perform better than the human mind in analyzing data sets.( 在一种被称为“预言者”的设想中，研究人员认为人工智能工具能够不知疲倦地阅读和消化科学论文。在另一种被称为“仲裁者”的设想中，系统被认为在评估科学发现方面比人类更加客观。而在第三种设想中，即“量化分析师”，人工智能工具在分析数据集方面似乎比人脑表现得更好)”可知，在一个被称为人工智能作为甲骨文的“愿景”中，研究人员认为人工智能工具能够不知疲倦地阅读和消化科学论文。在另一个被称为人工智能作为仲裁者的“愿景”中，系统被认为比人类更客观地评估科学发现。在第三个被称为人工智能作为量子的“愿景”中，人工智能工具在分析数据集方面似乎比人类表现得更好。由此可知，第四段主要讲述了人工智能在帮助进行科学研究方面的作用。故选B项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“One is the illusion(幻觉)of explanatory depth’ in which people relying on another person—or in this case an algorithm(算法)—for knowledge are likely to mistake that knowledge for their own.( 一种是“解释深度的幻觉”，在这种幻觉中，人们依赖另一个人——或者在这种情况下是一个算法——来获取知识，很可能会将那种知识误认为是自己的。)”可知，解释深度的错觉是指依赖他人或算法获取知识的人很可能将这些知识误认为是自己的。由此可知，解释深度的错觉是指将算法的见解视为个人理解。故选D项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“If you're a scientist planning to use AI, you can reduce these dangers through a number of strategies. All members of the scientific community must view AI use not as unavoidable for any particular task, but rather as a choice with risks and benefits that must be carefully weighed.( 如果您是一名计划使用人工智能的科学家，您可以通过一系列策略来减少这些风险。科学界的所有成员必须将人工智能的使用视为不是对任何特定任务不可避免的，而是作为一种选择，其风险和利益必须被仔细权衡)”可知，如果你是一名计划使用人工智能的科学家，你可以通过多种策略来降低这些危险。科学界的所有成员都必须将人工智能的使用视为一种选择，而不是任何特定任务不可避免的选择，必须仔细权衡其风险和益处。由此可推知，作者对科学界使用人工智能的态度是谨慎的。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 For most of us, it's pretty easy to stand up for someone else. ___36___. So how do you go from being everyone else' s advocate to learning how to stand up for yourself? These steps come from 16 years of coaching my clients. ·Define your boundaries The definition of a boundary is a line that marks the limits of an area; it's both a line of containment (keeping you in) and a line of protection (keeping others out). Boundaries are not complaints, threats or demands. ___37___. They are your rules for who,what,how and why you feel comfortable being close to someone else, helping others know who you are and how to interact with you. ___38___ The next time someone asks you for a favor, consider if you can afford to say yes. What I mean by this is, think about what this “yes” will cost you in terms of finances, energy, health and time. Do you have an excess of these resources that you can give after you've already cared for yourself? ·Stop people-pleasing People-pleasing is often motivated by fear. It's easy to fall into the habit because you tend to get praised for it. People-pleasing pleases people. But its effects over a long period of time can be disastrous. ___39___ ·Ask for what you want It's not easy to figure out what you want. But the more time you spend getting clear on your own desires, the easier it is to defend what you need. Your desires are the forces that lead you into life's unknown frontier. ___40___. Stand up for them and yourself. A. Get comfortable saying no. B. Think twice before refusing. C. They deserve attention, energy and respect. D. You will not end up exhausted and depressed. E. To break this habit, start leaning toward courage and inner strength. F. They are guidelines that help to clearly define what needs to be protected. G.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了如何为自己辩护，提出了几个步骤，包括定义界限、考虑清楚自己的需求、停止取悦他人和明确表达自己的需求。 【36题详解】 根据上文“For most of us, it's pretty easy to stand up for someone else.(对我们大多数人来说，为别人辩护是很容易的。)”和下文“So how do you go from being everyone else' s advocate to learning how to stand up for yourself?(那么，你如何从一个为他人辩护的人变成一个学会为自己辩护的人呢？)”可知，此处与上文形成转折，说明为自己辩护是困难的，G选项“But when the tables are turned, we often feel guilty for giving priority to our own needs.(但当情况发生逆转时，我们常常会因为优先考虑自己的需求而感到内疚。)”符合语境。故选G。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Boundaries are not complaints, threats or demands.(界限不是抱怨、威胁或要求。)”和下文“They are your rules for who, what, how and why you feel comfortable being close to someone else, helping others know who you are and how to interact with you.(它们是你的规则，告诉你谁、什么、如何以及为什么你觉得和别人亲近舒服，帮助别人了解你是谁以及如何与你互动。)”可知，此处是对界限的定义进行解释，F选项“They are guidelines that help to clearly define what needs to be protected.(它们是帮助清晰定义需要保护什么的指导方针。)”符合语境。故选F。 【38题详解】 根据下文“The next time someone asks you for a favor, consider if you can afford to say yes.(下次有人请你帮忙时，考虑一下你是否能答应。)”可知，此处是本段的主旨句，建议要学会说不，A选项“Get comfortable saying no.(学会坦然说不。)”符合语境。故选A。 【39题详解】 根据上文“People-pleasing is often motivated by fear. It's easy to fall into the habit because you tend to get praised for it. People-pleasing pleases people. But its effects over a long period of time can be disastrous.（取悦他人往往是出于恐惧。人们很容易养成这种习惯，因为你往往会因此而受到表扬。取悦他人就是取悦他人。但长期来看，其影响可能是灾难性。）”可知，此处是针对取悦他人这个不好的习惯提出的建议，E选项“To break this habit, start leaning toward courage and inner strength.(要打破这个习惯，首先要依靠勇气和内在力量。)”符合语境。故选E。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Your desires are the forces that lead you into life's unknown frontier.(你的欲望是引导你进入生活未知领域的力量。)”和下文“Stand up for them and yourself.(为它们和你自己挺身而出。)”可知，此处是对欲望的肯定，C选项“They deserve attention, energy and respect.(它们值得关注、投入和尊重。)”符合语境。故选C。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Cecily Eklund has always adored her baby dolls, especially when she faced brain cancer surgery and MRI scans at the age of six.

The dream of becoming a member of my school cabinet took shape when I was just seven. Those school leaders were my role models as they always gave instructions, conducted activities and represented us to give speeches on school issues. So, for the next few years, I tried so hard to make it a reality. When I was twelve, I entered my name. I prepared my election speech and then, on the afternoon that we all gave our speeches. Everybody voted. I was hopeful and I prayed that I would win. The next morning,at the school assembly I waited anxiously for my name to be announced. I was all set to realize my dream. One by one, the names were announced and the whole school cheered as the girls with the highest votes walked up to the stage. I closed my eyes and waited for my name to be called. The last name was read and my name wasn't among them. I was totally brokenhearted. My dream had been shattered, and I just wanted to cry my heart out. Then the reality struck me: I hadn't had a chance to win. I wasn't well known and wasn't pretty. Girls across the school hardly knew me. I just did not have what it took to win a school election. I was so depressed because I had nurtured this dream for a long time. As I cried in my room that evening, I suddenly decided I was going to stop seeing myself as a failure. I decided that I would stand for elections again in my final year at school-and I would win. I recognized that my competitors had a lot of things in their favor. Their personalities were their biggest strength.However, I had good grades, and I was friendly and helpful. And my biggest strength was the faith I had in myself to be a good leader. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 That evening, I began my election plans a whole year in advance. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day after the election, every minute seemed like an hour while I waited for the results. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: That evening, I began my election plans a whole year in advance. The first target I wanted to achieve was to familiarize myself with the girls and obtain their recognition. I did everything I could to assist them whenever they were confronted with unpleasant situations. I also attended a course on effective public speaking and occupied myself with intense training on a daily basis. With time passing by, everything seemingly went to my advantage. When the election rolled around, I delivered the speech with more confidence than before. The day after the election, every minute seemed like an hour while I waited for the results. The question haunted me whether my efforts would bear fruit. While the girls kept encouraging me, I felt anxious that my imperfect performance would cost me the opportunity to win the election. Then came the thrilling moment when the result was announced. Instantly the principal read my name, the students erupted into thunderous applause. It dawned on me that I accomplished more than I had dreamed of. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者从小就有成为学校内阁成员的梦想，并在多年的努力后，最终未能在首次参选中成功。然而，这次失败并没有让她放弃，反而激发了她更加坚定地追求这个梦想的决心。她认识到自己拥有成为好领导者的潜力，并在之后的岁月里努力学习，最终实现了自己的梦想。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上，我提前一年开始了我的竞选计划。”可知，第一段可描写作者为竞选做出的准备。 ②由第二段首句内容“选举后的第二天，等待结果的每一分钟都像过了一个小时。”可知，第二段可描写作者担心自己无法获胜时的心理以及最终赢得竞选的感悟。 2.续写线索：提前准备——感到自信——担心自己的表现——选举获胜——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 想要做某事：want to do sth./would like to do sth. 参加：attend/participate in 鼓励：encourage/inspire 情绪类 令人激动的：thrilling/exciting 焦虑的：anxious/restless 【点睛】[高分句型1]While the girls kept encouraging me, I felt anxious that my imperfect performance would cost me the opportunity to win the election.（运用了while引导时间状语从句，that引导宾语从句） [高分句型2]With time passing by, everything seemingly went to my advantage.（运用了with的复合结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。What will you do this morning?

Here’s a sampling of what’s on the menu. Old-growth Forest Tour Take a medicine walk with Cecelia Brooks and her son, Anthony Brooks. They guide you through the forest, teaching the history of local medicinal plants and trees along the way. Afterwards, they prepare wild rice and corn pancakes with ingredients straight from Cecelia’s garden. Kings Landing Tour Wandering through the open-air museum’s historic buildings and chatting with interpreters dressed in period clothing about life in the Saint John River valley in the 19th century is an immersive cultural experience, but eating history is next level. Tasting a meal in the King Head Inn’s attractive dining room, where traditional pub food evokes (唤起) an immediate journey back in time. Paddle (划桨) Tour Second Nature Outdoors offers a sunrise paddle tour on the Saint John River that starts with a canoe (独木舟) out to Hartt Island, where guides teach how to roast coffee over a campfire. Drinking coffee and eating local cheese with river views is the perfect way to begin the day. Ganong Chocolate Museum Tour The museum tour includes everything from the early methods of chocolate making to the story behind the Ganong candy dynasty’s famous Pal-o-Mine bar. The highlight must go to the hands-on activity where you participate in the complicated process of hand-dipping chocolates and taste the fruit of your labor! 21. Which tour will most probably make you feel transported to the past? A. Paddle Tour. B. Kings Landing Tour. C. Old-growth Forest Tour. D. Ganong Chocolate Museum Tour. 22. What will travelers do during the Paddle Tour? A. Make local cheese. B. Enjoy an amazing canoe journey. C. Learn the history of herbs. D. Take part in a paddle competition. 23. What do the four tours have in common? A. They provide walks in the forest. B. They require professional interpreters. C. They offer immersive cultural experiences. D. They involve trying tasty cuisine or snacks. B On these dark winter evenings I find myself daydreaming of summer. I think of the one activity and place that quiets my mind: clamming (挖蛤) on Cape Cod. Before I had kids, it was a much-needed active outing after days of vacation-level eating. But when I went with kids, the experience took a turn from relaxation to devotion. The bay became part of the world I was trying to build for my children. The act of clamming became an unexpected escape,a moment when I wasn't thinking about 20 different things, when I wasn’t really thinking at all. This year, for the first time, my children joined in the clamming. I kept yelping (尖叫) when my children almost raked (用耙子耙) my feet. But there was joy in having something to teach them, to connect them not only to a generational tradition but also to the history of the land. And when they raised their basket and it wasn’t a rock for the hundredth time, but rather a shining clam, it was a richer moment than if they had struck gold. Seeing a child holding up a clam with an expression of success on his face does more for the heart than any meditation (冥想) ever could. I hope that one day my children will view clamming as the relaxation that I do. They are not there yet.At this point, it is more adventure than getaway. At the end of our clamming morning, my 6-year-old refused to leave, insisting she needed one more clam. When she finally caught one more clam, she laughed, pride written all over her face. To be fair, perhaps what she needed to get from clamming was not what I needed. Perhaps what she needed was to have a tiny bit of control over this wild world, one in which she has little say. In that moment, she was victorious, if not in calm, then in clam. 24. Why did the author go clamming before having children? A. To get together with her friends. B. To spend quality time with her family. C. To escape the responsibility as an adult. D. To enjoy relaxation after overeating. 25. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The experience of clamming. B. The benefits of meditation. C. The change of a generational tradition. D. The necessity of exploring the land. 26. How do the kids find clamming? A. Demanding and boring. B. Complicated and tiring. C. Adventurous and rewarding. D. Painful and disappointing. 27. What can we infer from the last paragraph about the author and her kids? A. They are successful in removing stress. B. Clamming is the most interesting to them. C. They refused to leave the bay. D. Clamming has different meanings to them. C A man whose right hand was cut in an operation at the age of 20 is now able to feel the temperature of the objects he touches with his prosthetic (假体的) hand, thanks to a new device integrated in it. The device, called MiniTouch, was developed last year. It is made by two components, an active thermal (热的) sensor which measures temperature and generates realistic signals which are then sent to the second component, a thermal stimulator (刺激器). It was first tested as a standalone device at the prosthetic centre of the Italian Institute for Insurance against Accidents at Work (INAIL) near Bologna. INAIL’ s engineers integrated the thermal sensor on the index finger (食指) of the prosthetic hand of one patient, and the thermal stimulator into the connection point that secures the robotic hand to the forearm, in such a way that it touched a point on the remaining arm that aroused thermal feelings in the person’s a prosthetic index finger-the typical feeling of still having the finger. During eight experimental sessions over six months, the participant could identify objects with three different temperatures or made of different materials. He could also determine whether he was touching a prosthetic arm or a real arm while unable to see, and grasp and move blocks of different temperature in order to classify them from the hottest to the coldest. “The richness and realism of the feelings provided to wearers is key to the effectiveness of a prosthetic hand in replacing a natural hand in daily activities,” says Emanuele Gruppioni, who led the clinical tests. “As a next step we will work with a new prosthetic hand, developed in cooperation with the Italian Institute of Technology, to improve the MiniTouch integration and have a light and wearable thermal prosthetic hand,” Gruppioni concludes. 28. What’s the function of paragraph 1? A. To present a problem. B. To make a comparison. C. To introduce the topic. D. To clarify a concept. 29. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The thermal stimulator. B. The connection point. C The index finger. D. The thermal sensor. 30. What does MiniTouch enable the patient to do when tested? A. Change the materials of the objects. B. Integrate a thermal sensor on his real arm. C. Feel the temperature of the objects. D. Send thermal information to engineers. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. A man who has a prosthetic hand B. MiniTouch that consists of two components C. A prosthetic hand that feels the heat D. Engineers who made a wearable prosthetic hand D Scientists are embracing artificial intelligence (AI) — from developing “self-driving” laboratories to replacing human participants in social-science experiments with robots. Many disadvantages of AI systems have been discussed. In an article published in Nature this week, social scientists say that AI systems carry a further risk: that researchers perceive such tools as possessed of superhuman abilities when it comes to objectivity, productivity and understanding complex concepts. Scientists planning to use AI “must evaluate these risks now”, write co-authors Lisa Messeri and Molly Crockett. The article is a warning about what could be lost if scientists embrace AI systems without thoroughly considering such risks. Messeri and Crockett examined around 100 papers and books, published mainly over the past five years. From these,they put together a picture of the ways in which scientists see AI systems as enhancing human capabilities. In one “vision”, which they call AI as Oracle, researchers see AI tools as able to tirelessly read and digest scientific papers. In another vision, called AI as Arbiter, systems are perceived as evaluating scientific findings more objectively than do people. In a third vision, AI as Quant, AI tools seem to perform better than the human mind in analyzing data sets. Messeri and Crockett also predict risks that arise from these visions. One is the illusion (幻觉) of explanatory depth, in which people relying on another person-or，in this case，an algorithm (算法) — for knowledge are likely to mistake that knowledge for their own. Another risk is that research becomes skewed (偏颇的) towards studying the kinds of things that AI systems can test. If you’re a scientist planning to use AI, you can reduce these dangers through a number of strategies.All members of the scientific community must view AI use not as unavoidable for any particular task, but rather as a choice with risks and benefits that must be carefully weighed. 32. What is a further risk that AI systems carry according to paragraph 1? A. They perform better than humans. B. Researchers overestimate their capabilities. C. They are able to understand complex concepts. D. Researchers use them in self-driving laboratories. 33. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about AI? A. Its benefits in analyzing scientific data. B. Its roles in helping doing scientific research. C. Its strengths in digesting scientific papers. D. Its advantages in evaluating scientific findings. 34. What is the illusion of explanatory depth? A. Finding the accuracy in algorithmic. B Denying the mistake of algorithmic. C. Accepting the complexity of algorithmic. D. Considering algorithmic insights as personal understanding. 35. What’s the author’s attitude towards the use of AI in scientific community? A. Cautious. B. Approving. C. Unclear. D. Intolerant. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 For most of us, it's pretty easy to stand up for someone else. ___36___.

The dream of becoming a member of my school cabinet took shape when I was just seven. Those school leaders were my role models as they always gave instructions, conducted activities and represented us to give speeches on school issues. So, for the next few years, I tried so hard to make it a reality. When I was twelve, I entered my name. I prepared my election speech and then, on the afternoon that we all gave our speeches. Everybody voted. I was hopeful and I prayed that I would win. The next morning,at the school assembly I waited anxiously for my name to be announced. I was all set to realize my dream. One by one, the names were announced and the whole school cheered as the girls with the highest votes walked up to the stage. I closed my eyes and waited for my name to be called. The last name was read and my name wasn't among them. I was totally brokenhearted. My dream had been shattered, and I just wanted to cry my heart out. Then the reality struck me: I hadn't had a chance to win. I wasn't well known and wasn't pretty. Girls across the school hardly knew me. I just did not have what it took to win a school election. I was so depressed because I had nurtured this dream for a long time. As I cried in my room that evening, I suddenly decided I was going to stop seeing myself as a failure. I decided that I would stand for elections again in my final year at school-and I would win. I recognized that my competitors had a lot of things in their favor. Their personalities were their biggest strength.However, I had good grades, and I was friendly and helpful. And my biggest strength was the faith I had in myself to be a good leader. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 That evening, I began my election plans a whole year in advance. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day after the election, every minute seemed like an hour while I waited for the results. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
