There are several ways of traveling between the two cities. You can opt to fly, drive or take a train or a bus. No matter how you choose to travel, there’s always something worth seeing and doing in New York. Time Cost Best For Train 13 hours from $175 stress-free travel Flight 90 minutes from $150 travelers in a hurry Bus 11 — 13 hours from $60 people on a budget Car 8 hours, 40 minutes varies (about 790 kilometers) a flexible schedule When Is the Best Time to Travel to New York? December is a great time to visit. The weather isn’t too cold and the city is full of holiday cheer. Traffic is almost always bad in New York, especially in Manhattan, but it’s best to avoid driving during the morning and evening rush hours when commuting time is extra long. What’s the Most Scenic Route to New York? Driving can offer the best views on a journey to New York, especially if you choose to stop and explore around Niagara Falls. The train follows a similar path but views of the falls are unlikely. What Is There to Do in New York? There is enough to see and do in New York to satisfy even the pickiest travelers. The city is home to some of the best museums in the world, from The Metropolitan Museum of Art to the American Museum of Natural History. There is the chance to enjoy a Broadway show, walk in Central Park or ride the free ferry to Staten Island. It’s also well worth taking in great skyline views from the top of Empire State Building or walking to Brooklyn via the iconic Brooklyn Bridge. 21.

B Clair Hughes first began to research money-saving ideas to get out of her £3,500 student overdraft (透支额). The shopper started surfing the Internet for discount coupons (优惠券) and cut price offers. Revealing how she seldom pays full price for an item, Ms Hughes says, “Discounts are always there; it’s just a matter of being organized. Before starting this, I thought it’d be much work, but now I’m so used to this lifestyle that it’s automatic to me. I must have easily saved over £15,000.” Ms Hughes first focused on saving money back in 2010 when she moved in with her partner, Shane Byrne, a phone company trainer. After turning to the web for advice, she tried out a few clever money-saving tricks like switching her overdraft to a zero-interest account. Then, several years later, she came across an online community for “couponers” and decided to give it a go. She started spending hours surfing the web for coupons, printing them all out to take with her whenever she went shopping. Over the years, she has managed to get some impressive catches. Once, two lamps worth £140 cost her just £35. Two years ago, Ms Hughes also began using cashback apps where you are given money back on items ranging from beers to toiletries. After each shop, she uploads pictures of her receipts, which are then scanned, and money is given back on certain items. Among her other top money-saving tips, Ms Hughes recommends taking part in paid online surveys, which have earned her hundreds in discount coupons. She says, “I’ve heard a lot about collecting other people’s abandoned receipts from shopping trolleys to check for missed discounts. I can’t believe how much coupons and cashback apps have helped me. The community does benefit me a lot. There will always be someone on hand to explain how it works.” 24. What does saving money mean to Clair Hughes? A. It’s part of her daily life. B. It makes her shop less. C. It’s a way to leave school. D. It keeps her work organized. 25. What can we know about Clair Hughes? A. She always asks Shane for suggestions. B. She likes going shopping with her friends. C. She has bought some goods in low prices. D. She is good at discussing prices with others. 26. What does the last paragraph mainly show? A. Hughes’ feelings of her life. B. Hughes’ ways to get coupons. C. Hughes’ appreciation for society. D. Hughes’ difficulty in saving money. 27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. A Graduate Enjoys Shopping B. A Community Collects Coupons C. A Woman Focuses on Saving Money D. A Shopper Is Famous for Saving Money C Since the African Union first launched Great Green Wall in 2007, the initiative has struggled to make headway. Made up of local efforts across 11 countries, it has reached just 16% of its overall goal. But last month, the project, which analysts estimate will cost at least $30 billion, got a major boost: a total of $14 billion in funding over the next 5 years from a union of international development banks and governments. Environmental restoration and community development specialists welcomed the news. But many are also apprehensive. In recent years, research by ecologists and social scientists has shown that many forestry projects in Africa have failed because they didn’t adequately address fundamental social and ecological issues. The project leaders often planted species in places where they didn’t belong, and did little to help the young trees survive. “Tree planting is often viewed as the simple act of digging a hole,” forest scientist Karen Holl said. “But this short-term view has resulted in large quantities of money being spent on efforts that have failed almost entirely.” In Africa, the adoption of one approach called Farmer-Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR), is credited with regreening a notable portion of the Sahel. The low-cost restoration technique took off in Niger in the 1980s and has since spread to other nations. It relies on farmers to protect and nurture trees that grow from existing root systems and seeds in the soil. Over decades, FMNR has led to greater tree cover and other ecological benefits, such as higher soil carbon content, researchers have found. But many efforts, particularly those not led by local communities, stumble (蹒跚而行). Newly planted trees can die of neglect when planners don’t engage communities from the start in discussions about which species to plant, as well as whether residents are willing and able to provide the water, fertilizer, and protection from grazing animals that trees need. “The farmers are often busy and have their own priorities; they will not manage trees that they do not value,” forest specialist Abayneh Derero wrote in a study. 28. What is the good news for Great Green Wall? A. It will get more funds. B. It will be completed soon. C. More countries will build it. D. More scientists will study it. 29. What should the forestry project leaders do to get success? A. Address their own issues properly. B. Help young African people survive. C. Act according to the local conditions. D. Learn how to dig holes and plant trees. 30. Why is FMNR mentioned in the text? A. To analyse a different reason B. To offer a practicable solution. C. To present a social background. D. To explain a similar phenomenon. 31. What does the last paragraph stress about the forestry project? A. It’s vital to protect trees from animals. B. The farmers have their own priorities. C. The residents’ abilities need developing. D. Local people’s involvement is important. D Every day, people share more than 2 billion photos on the Internet. While visual content provides a fun and expressive way for people to communicate online, consuming and creating it poses challenges for people who are blind or severely visually impaired (受损的). With more than 39 million people who are blind, and over 246 million who have a severe visual impairment, many people may feel excluded from the conversation around photos on the Internet. The researchers from Harvard University want to build technology that helps the blind community appreciate photos in the same way others enjoy them. Automatic alternative text is a new development that generates a description of a photo using advancements in object recognition technology. People using screen readers on digital devices will hear a list of items a photo may contain as they click photos on the Internet. Before today, people using screen readers would only hear the name of the person who shared the photo, followed by the term “photo” when they came upon an image. Now they can offer a richer description of what’s in a photo thanks to automatic alternative text. For instance, someone could now hear “an image containing three people, smiling, outdoors”. This is possible because of Harvard University’s object recognition technology, which is based on a network that has billions of parameters and is trained with millions of examples. Each advancement in object recognition technology means that the researchers will be able to make technology even more accessible to more people. When people are connected, they can achieve extraordinary things as individuals and as a community, and when everyone is connected, we all benefit from it. They are launching automatic alternative text first on cellphone screen readers set to English, but they plan to add this functionality for other languages and platforms soon. While this technology is still nascent, using its current capabilities to describe photos is an important step toward providing our visually impaired community with the same benefits and enjoyment that everyone else gets from photos. 32. Why is the technology launched? A. There are so many photos on the Internet. B. There are many people suffering from blindness. C Some digital devices are in need of the technology. D. People with vision problems fail to enjoy photos online. 33. What is the advantage of the technology over the previous one? A. It can offer more photos to blind people. B. It can describe more about online photos. C. It can recognize the person who shares photos. D. It can satisfy the common needs of blind people. 34. What is the key to promoting the technology? A. The photos on the Internet. B. People’s care for blind people. C. People’s connections to each other. D. The object recognition technology. 35. Which can best explain the underlined word “nascent” in the last paragraph? A. Emerging. B. Reliable. C. Powerful. D. Conventional. 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。 Writing a successful English speech can be a challenging task, but with the following tips, you can create a powerful and engaging speech. ____36____ The first step in crafting a convincing speech is to know who will be listening.

The interviewers had a discussion about you. You have a very good experience, but you are not qualified for this position. The journalist we want is to communicate with people from walks of life, so you should be more sociable and more energetic. So, sorry.” Actually, such was not quite new to Jenny and this was the third time that she had been rejected for a job position after her graduation from university as a top student. Overwhelmed (淹没) with sadness, she lifted her hands to cover her face. Her heart was broken with self-doubt whether she was never good enough to fit in with the highly competitive adult world. It seemed that the excellence she displayed at school was nothing but illusion. “Maybe I should quit applying for that demanding job,” Jenny whispered to herself. Sensing something wrong, Jenny’s father, James, said to his daughter, “Congratulations on your graduation, and time to enjoy your youth. In celebration of your new life, I’d like to give you something special. Here is a car that I acquired many years ago. But before I give it to you, take it to the used car lot downtown and tell them you want to sell it and see how much they offer you.” Unwilling as Jenny was she went to the used car lot and they offered her only one thousand dollars because the car looked very worn out. With that offer, she returned back to her father and out of her expectation, this time her father told her to take this car to a pawnshop (当铺). Confused, Jenny went to the pawnshop where they should have offered her ten thousand dollars as her father’s car looked a little bit old to them. “Maybe it is a perfect deal!” thought Jenny. But then, the father advised his daughter to keep trying and go to a car club and show them the car. The daughter took the car to the club, and then, breathtakingly, something magic happened. 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。 People there willingly offered one hundred thousand dollars for the same car. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Wearing a satisfied smile, James said, “They identified it as an expensive car.” ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023—2024学年高三第二次模拟考试 高三英语试题 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。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。 例：How much is the shirt?

The weather isn’t too cold and the city is full of holiday cheer.(12月是旅游的好时机。天气不太冷，城市充满了节日的欢乐。)”可知，12月份的纽约天气不太冷，城市充满节日的欢乐，由此可知，12月的纽约充满着节日的气氛。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据What’s the Most Scenic Route to New York? 部分中的“Driving can offer the best views on a journey to New York, especially if you choose to stop and explore around Niagara Falls.(在去纽约的旅途中，开车可以看到最好的风景，特别是如果你选择停下来探索尼亚加拉大瀑布。)”可知，驾车前往纽约旅游，尤其是在尼亚加拉瀑布附近停车探索，会获得最佳的观光体验，所以驾车从多伦多到纽约参观尼亚加拉大瀑布。故选D项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据What Is There to Do in New York?部分中的“It’s also well worth taking in great skyline views from the top of Empire State Building or walking to Brooklyn via the iconic Brooklyn Bridge. (从帝国大厦的顶部欣赏天际线的美景，或者通过标志性的布鲁克林大桥步行到布鲁克林，都是非常值得的。)”可知，在帝国大厦的顶部可以欣赏天际线的美景，由此可知，可以在帝国大厦看到纽约全景。故选C项。 B Clair Hughes first began to research money-saving ideas to get out of her £3,500 student overdraft (透支额). The shopper started surfing the Internet for discount coupons (优惠券) and cut price offers. Revealing how she seldom pays full price for an item, Ms Hughes says, “Discounts are always there; it’s just a matter of being organized. Before starting this, I thought it’d be much work, but now I’m so used to this lifestyle that it’s automatic to me. I must have easily saved over £15,000.” Ms Hughes first focused on saving money back in 2010, when she moved in with her partner, Shane Byrne, a phone company trainer. After turning to the web for advice, she tried out a few clever money-saving tricks like switching her overdraft to a zero-interest account. Then, several years later, she came across an online community for “couponers” and decided to give it a go. She started spending hours surfing the web for coupons, printing them all out to take with her whenever she went shopping. Over the years, she has managed to get some impressive catches. Once, two lamps worth £140 cost her just £35. Two years ago, Ms Hughes also began using cashback apps where you are given money back on items ranging from beers to toiletries. After each shop, she uploads pictures of her receipts, which are then scanned, and money is given back on certain items. Among her other top money-saving tips, Ms Hughes recommends taking part in paid online surveys, which have earned her hundreds in discount coupons. She says, “I’ve heard a lot about collecting other people’s abandoned receipts from shopping trolleys to check for missed discounts. I can’t believe how much coupons and cashback apps have helped me. The community does benefit me a lot. There will always be someone on hand to explain how it works.” 24. What does saving money mean to Clair Hughes? A. It’s part of her daily life. B. It makes her shop less. C. It’s a way to leave school. D. It keeps her work organized. 25. What can we know about Clair Hughes? A. She always asks Shane for suggestions. B She likes going shopping with her friends. C. She has bought some goods in low prices. D. She is good at discussing prices with others. 26. What does the last paragraph mainly show? A. Hughes’ feelings of her life. B. Hughes’ ways to get coupons. C. Hughes’ appreciation for society. D. Hughes’ difficulty in saving money. 27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. A Graduate Enjoys Shopping B. A Community Collects Coupons C. A Woman Focuses on Saving Money D. A Shopper Is Famous for Saving Money 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Clair Hughes研究省钱妙招，通过网络搜寻优惠券和返现应用，精打细算，累积节省过万英镑，告别学生透支生活，大大受益于这一节俭生活方式。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Before starting this, I thought it’d be much work, but now I’m so used to this lifestyle that it’s automatic to me.(在这之前，我以为这会是很繁重的工作，但现在我已经如此习惯这种生活方式，以至于它对我而言已经成了自然而然的事情)”可知，省钱已经成为她日常生活的一部分。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Over the years, she has managed to get some impressive catches. Once, two lamps worth £140 cost her just £35.(多年来，她设法获得了一些令人印象深刻的便宜货。有一次，她只花了35英镑就买到了两盏价值140英镑的灯)”可知，她以低价购买了一些商品。故选C。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Among her other top money-saving tips, Ms Hughes recommends taking part in paid online surveys, which have earned her hundreds in discount coupons.(在她的其他顶级省钱技巧中，Hughes女士推荐参与有偿在线调查，这已为她赢得了数百张折扣券)”可知，最后一段主要介绍了她获取优惠券的方法。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Clair Hughes first began to research money-saving ideas to get out of her £3,500 student overdraft (透支额). The shopper started surfing the Internet for discount coupons (优惠券) and cut price offers.(Clair Hughes最初开始研究省钱的方法，以便摆脱3,500英镑的学生透支问题。这位购物者开始上网搜寻折扣券和降价优惠)”和最后一段中“Among her other top money-saving tips, Ms Hughes recommends taking part in paid online surveys, which have earned her hundreds in discount coupons.(在她的其他顶级省钱技巧中，Hughes女士推荐参与有偿在线调查，这已为她赢得了数百张折扣券)”可知，全文写了Clair Hughes如何通过各种方式在购物中最大限度地省钱的故事，所以“一个女人专注于省钱”适合作为文章标题。故选C。 C Since the African Union first launched Great Green Wall in 2007, the initiative has struggled to make headway. Made up of local efforts across 11 countries, it has reached just 16% of its overall goal. But last month, the project, which analysts estimate will cost at least $30 billion, got a major boost: a total of $14 billion in funding over the next 5 years from a union of international development banks and governments. Environmental restoration and community development specialists welcomed the news. But many are also apprehensive. In recent years, research by ecologists and social scientists has shown that many forestry projects in Africa have failed because they didn’t adequately address fundamental social and ecological issues. The project leaders often planted species in places where they didn’t belong, and did little to help the young trees survive. “Tree planting is often viewed as the simple act of digging a hole,” forest scientist Karen Holl said. “But this short-term view has resulted in large quantities of money being spent on efforts that have failed almost entirely.” In Africa, the adoption of one approach called Farmer-Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR), is credited with regreening a notable portion of the Sahel. The low-cost restoration technique took off in Niger in the 1980s and has since spread to other nations. It relies on farmers to protect and nurture trees that grow from existing root systems and seeds in the soil. Over decades, FMNR has led to greater tree cover and other ecological benefits, such as higher soil carbon content, researchers have found. But many efforts, particularly those not led by local communities, stumble (蹒跚而行). Newly planted trees can die of neglect when planners don’t engage communities from the start in discussions about which species to plant, as well as whether residents are willing and able to provide the water, fertilizer, and protection from grazing animals that trees need. “The farmers are often busy and have their own priorities; they will not manage trees that they do not value,” forest specialist Abayneh Derero wrote in a study. 28. What is the good news for Great Green Wall? A. It will get more funds. B. It will be completed soon. C. More countries will build it. D. More scientists will study it. 29 What should the forestry project leaders do to get success? A. Address their own issues properly. B. Help young African people survive. C. Act according to the local conditions. D. Learn how to dig holes and plant trees. 30. Why is FMNR mentioned in the text? A. To analyse a different reason B. To offer a practicable solution. C. To present a social background. D. To explain a similar phenomenon. 31. What does the last paragraph stress about the forestry project? A. It’s vital to protect trees from animals. B. The farmers have their own priorities. C. The residents’ abilities need developing. D. Local people’s involvement is important. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍的是2007年非洲联盟发起的“绿色长城”的倡议取得重大推进，并分析了该倡议进展缓慢的原因，同时提供了一个可行的解决方案。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据首段中的“But last month, the project, which analysts estimate will cost at least $30 billion, got a major boost: a total of $14 billion in funding over the next 5 years from a union of international development banks and governments.(但上个月，该项目得到了重大推动：未来5年，国际开发银行和政府联盟将提供总计140亿美元的资金。分析人士估计，该项目至少将耗资300亿美元。)”可知，国际开发银行和政府联盟将提供总计140亿美元的资金给该项目，由此可知，对“绿色长城”倡议的好消息是会得到更多的资金。故选A项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In recent years, research by ecologists and social scientists has shown that many forestry projects in Africa have failed because they didn’t adequately address fundamental social and ecological issues.(近年来，生态学家和社会科学家的研究表明，非洲的许多林业项目都失败了，因为它们没有充分解决根本的社会和生态问题。)”可知，许多林业项目失败的原因是没有充分解决根本的社会和生态问题，结合第三段中的“The project leaders often planted species in places where they didn’t belong, and did little to help the young trees survive.(项目负责人经常在不属于它们的地方种植物种，对帮助幼树存活几乎没有什么帮助。)”可知，项目负责人在不属于它们的地方种植物种，这都导致项目的失败，由此可知，要想取得成功，项目负责人应该了解当地的实际情况，选择适合当地条件的物种种植。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“In Africa, the adoption of one approach called Farmer-Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR), is credited with regreening a notable portion of the Sahel.(在非洲，一种被称为农民管理的自然再生(FMNR)的方法被认为使萨赫勒地区的大部分地区重新绿化。)”可知，非洲一种农民管理的自然再生法使得萨赫勒地区的大部分地区重新绿化，说明这种方法对重新绿化有效，结合下文中的“Over decades, FMNR has led to greater tree cover and other ecological benefits, such as higher soil carbon content, researchers have found.(研究人员发现，几十年来，FMNR带来了更大的树木覆盖和其他生态效益，比如更高的土壤碳含量。)”可知，研究发现FMNR带来更大的树木覆盖和其他生态效益，FMNR带来的生态效益与“绿色长城”项目遭到失败形成对比，所以提到FMNR的目的是提供了一个可行的解决方案。故选B项。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据尾段中的“But many efforts, particularly those not led by local communities, stumble (蹒跚而行). Newly planted trees can die of neglect when planners don’t engage communities from the start in discussions about which species to plant, as well as whether residents are willing and able to provide the water, fertilizer, and protection from grazing animals that trees need.(但许多努力，特别是那些不是由当地社区领导的努力，都步履蹒跚。如果规划者从一开始就没有让社区参与讨论种植哪些物种，以及居民是否愿意和能够提供树木所需的水、肥料和保护，新种植的树木可能会因忽视而死亡。)”可知，没有当地社区领导的努力都是徒劳，没有让社区参与讨论种植哪种物种或者居民不愿参与其中，新种植的树木都会因被忽略而死亡，由此可知，最后一段强调的是当地居民的参与对林业的发展很重要。故选D项。 D Every day, people share more than 2 billion photos on the Internet. While visual content provides a fun and expressive way for people to communicate online, consuming and creating it poses challenges for people who are blind or severely visually impaired (受损的). With more than 39 million people who are blind, and over 246 million who have a severe visual impairment, many people may feel excluded from the conversation around photos on the Internet. The researchers from Harvard University want to build technology that helps the blind community appreciate photos in the same way others enjoy them. Automatic alternative text is a new development that generates a description of a photo using advancements in object recognition technology. People using screen readers on digital devices will hear a list of items a photo may contain as they click photos on the Internet. Before today, people using screen readers would only hear the name of the person who shared the photo, followed by the term “photo” when they came upon an image. Now they can offer a richer description of what’s in a photo thanks to automatic alternative text. For instance, someone could now hear “an image containing three people, smiling, outdoors”. This is possible because of Harvard University’s object recognition technology, which is based on a network that has billions of parameters and is trained with millions of examples. Each advancement in object recognition technology means that the researchers will be able to make technology even more accessible to more people. When people are connected, they can achieve extraordinary things as individuals and as a community, and when everyone is connected, we all benefit from it. They are launching automatic alternative text first on cellphone screen readers set to English, but they plan to add this functionality for other languages and platforms soon. While this technology is still nascent, using its current capabilities to describe photos is an important step toward providing our visually impaired community with the same benefits and enjoyment that everyone else gets from photos. 32. Why is the technology launched? A. There are so many photos on the Internet. B. There are many people suffering from blindness. C. Some digital devices are in need of the technology. D. People with vision problems fail to enjoy photos online. 33. What is the advantage of the technology over the previous one? A. It can offer more photos to blind people. B. It can describe more about online photos. C. It can recognize the person who shares photos. D. It can satisfy the common needs of blind people. 34. What is the key to promoting the technology? A. The photos on the Internet. B. People’s care for blind people. C. People’s connections to each other. D. The object recognition technology. 35. Which can best explain the underlined word “nascent” in the last paragraph? A. Emerging. B. Reliable. C. Powerful. D. Conventional. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文，主要介绍了一项新技术，该技术可以帮助有视力障碍的人欣赏网上的图片。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“While visual content provides a fun and expressive way for people to communicate online, consuming and creating it poses challenges for people who are blind or severely visually impaired (受损的).(虽然视觉内容为人们提供了一种有趣而富有表现力的在线交流方式，但对盲人或严重视力受损的人来说，消费和创造视觉内容是一种挑战。)”和“With more than 39 million people who are blind, and over 246 million who have a severe visual impairment, many people may feel excluded from the conversation around photos on the Internet.(世界上有超过3900万人是盲人，超过2.46亿人有严重的视力障碍，许多人可能会觉得自己被排除在互联网上关于照片的讨论之外。)”可知，对有视力障碍的人而言，欣赏网上的图片是一种挑战。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Before today, people using screen readers would only hear the name of the person who shared the photo, followed by the term “photo” when they came upon an image. Now they can offer a richer description of what’s in a photo thanks to automatic alternative text. For instance, someone could now hear “an image containing three people, smiling, outdoors”.(在今天之前，人们使用屏幕阅读器只能听到分享照片的人的名字，当他们看到图片时，后面跟着“照片”这个词。现在，由于自动替代文本，它们可以提供更丰富的照片内容描述。例如，有人现在可以听到“一个包含三个人的图像，微笑着，在户外”。)”可知，该科技的优势在于它可以对照片中的内容进行更丰富地描述。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“This is possible because of Harvard University’s object recognition technology, which is based on a network that has billions of parameters and is trained with millions of examples. Each advancement in object recognition technology means that the researchers will be able to make technology even more accessible to more people.(这是可能的，因为哈佛大学的目标识别技术，它是基于一个网络，有数十亿的参数和数以百万计的例子进行训练。物体识别技术的每一次进步都意味着研究人员将能够让更多的人更容易接触到这项技术。)”可知，推广这项技术的关键是物体识别技术。故选D。 【35题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Automatic alternative text is a new development that generates a description of a photo using advancements in object recognition technology.(自动替代文本是一项新的发展，它利用物体识别技术的进步来生成照片的描述。)”可知，划线词所在句子表示“虽然这项技术仍处于萌芽阶段，但利用其目前的能力来描述照片，是向我们的视障群体提供与其他人从照片中获得的同样好处和享受的重要一步”，划线词nascent意为“萌芽的，新生的”，和emerging意思相近。故选A。 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。 Writing a successful English speech can be a challenging task, but with the following tips, you can create a powerful and engaging speech. ____36____ The first step in crafting a convincing speech is to know who will be listening.

The interviewers had a discussion about you. You have a very good experience, but you are not qualified for this position. The journalist we want is to communicate with people from walks of life, so you should be more sociable and more energetic. So, sorry.” Actually, such was not quite new to Jenny and this was the third time that she had been rejected for a job position after her graduation from university as a top student. Overwhelmed (淹没) with sadness, she lifted her hands to cover her face. Her heart was broken with self-doubt whether she was never good enough to fit in with the highly competitive adult world. It seemed that the excellence she displayed at school was nothing but illusion. “Maybe I should quit applying for that demanding job,” Jenny whispered to herself. Sensing something wrong, Jenny’s father, James, said to his daughter, “Congratulations on your graduation, and time to enjoy your youth. In celebration of your new life, I’d like to give you something special. Here is a car that I acquired many years ago. But before I give it to you, take it to the used car lot downtown and tell them you want to sell it and see how much they offer you.” Unwilling as Jenny was, she went to the used car lot and they offered her only one thousand dollars because the car looked very worn out. With that offer, she returned back to her father and out of her expectation, this time her father told her to take this car to a pawnshop (当铺). Confused, Jenny went to the pawnshop where they should have offered her ten thousand dollars as her father’s car looked a little bit old to them. “Maybe it is a perfect deal!” thought Jenny. But then, the father advised his daughter to keep trying and go to a car club and show them the car. The daughter took the car to the club, and then, breathtakingly, something magic happened. 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。 People there willingly offered one hundred thousand dollars for the same car. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Wearing a satisfied smile, James said, “They identified it as an expensive car.” ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： People there willingly offered one hundred thousand dollars for the same car. Shocked, Jenny couldn’t believe what was happening in front of her. Ideas and questions came to mind, so she asked herself, “How could the prices be so different at different places? Are these guys out of mind to buy such a worn-out car?” Without any clues, she dashed back to her father and couldn’t wait to make out the truth. So she told James what had happened in the car club. Wearing a satisfied smile, James said, “They identified it as an expensive car.” In fact, never had people in the used car lot and the pawnshop recognized the value under the broken cover. Patting gently on Jenny’s shoulder, James said, “I want you to know that you are not worth anything if you are not in a right place. Don’t stay where your value goes unnoticed.” With moved tears in her eyes, Jenny understood she should know her worth and surround herself with those who could recognize it and that the true value would shine only when she was in the right environment. She knew clearly what to do next. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Jenny在求职过程中连续三次被拒绝，感到自我怀疑和绝望。她的父亲James为了帮助她认识到自己的价值，让她将一辆看似破旧的车带到不同的场所估价。首先在二手车市场，车被估价为一千美元，然后在当铺，估价为一万美元，Jenny觉得这个价格很棒，但James鼓励她再去汽车俱乐部看看这辆车的估价，然后神奇的事情发生了。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那里的人愿意出10万美元买同样的车”可知，第一段可描写Jenny对此感到震惊和困惑，以及她回去和父亲讲述这件事。 ②由第二段首句内容“James带着满意的微笑说：‘他们认定那是一辆昂贵的车。’”可知，第二段可描写父亲教导Jenny，像这辆车一样，她的价值取决于她所在的环境，以及Jenny从这件事中得到感悟，明白自己该怎么做。 2. 续写线索：俱乐部出价10万美元——Jenny震惊和困惑——Jenny告诉James情况——James回答——James开导Jenny—Jenny的感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①购买：buy/purchase ②冲，奔：dash/run/rush ③弄清楚：make out/figure out/work out ④意识到：recognize/realize 情绪类 ①震惊的：shocked/astonished/surprised ②受感动的：moved/touched 【点睛】[高分句型1] So she told James what had happened in the car club.
