Recently, my husband and three kids were playing in the Mediterranean, swimming and floating in the picture-perfect sea. It was extremely beautiful in Majorca, Spain. The way the sun danced across the water and how the blue horizon was dotted with storybook sailboats were such beautiful scenes. I almost couldn’t believe my eyes.
My husband and I always dreamed about taking our kids on a trip around the world. It was something we always wanted to do “one day”. It was one of the things we talked at length about, when we imagined our life with the children we hoped we would have.
Fourteen years later, we had three boys who were growing up faster by the day. It was time to make good on those plans.
We spent dozens of hours discussing, researching and planning. We had to learn how to “road school” our kids and arrange time off from work. We renewed our passports, and then packed our bags. We showed our kids the world. It was about experiencing the dozens of flights and trains and taxis together. We showed them how wonderful, how diverse, and how amazing the world is. We wanted them to learn all that we had learned ourselves, through our own travels as young adults.
But there was something more than that: What we really wanted is to slow down time. We wanted the days to last a bit longer, and the weeks to take their time. The years with our children are going too fast. We wanted to put the brakes on (阻止) our busy lives for a year, and just be with our kids. We wanted a break from the daily morning routine of making lunches, eating breakfast and rushing out of the door in time for school. We needed a family time-out.
It was a wonderful two-month trip in Europe, full of incredible moments. And when we look back at our lives, I know we’ll be glad we did it. I know we’ll be happy that this is a chapter of the story of our family.
24. What was the author’s attitude toward the trip when planning it?
A. Worried. B. Calm. C. Stressed. D. Eager.
25. What does the underlined part “make good on” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Change. B. Realize. C. Improve. D. Cancel.
26. What was the author’s main purpose of taking this trip?
A. To teach her children to value life.
B. To allow her children to see the world.
C. To enjoy a family breakaway from their life routine.
D. To enable her children to learn something out of class.
27. How did the author feel about their two-month stay in Europe?
A. Tired. B. Satisfied. C. Inspired. D. Disappointed.
C
San Francisco’s waterfront (海滨) is on the National Register of Historic Places for good reason.
Its beautiful old landmarks, like the Ferry Building and the Bay Bridge, have been seen in many books, TV shows and movies—from the stories and novels of Jack London to the 1970s TV series The Streets of San Francisco. The future of San Francisco’s waterfront, however, isn’t safe.
In 2016, the National Trust for Historic Preservation put part of the city’s shoreline on its list of the U. S.’s most endangered historic places, in part because of the threat of sea level rise. The waterfront landmarks of many cities are under increasing threat from floods and rising sea levels brought on by human-driven climate change. St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice, Italy and the Venice Beach boardwalk in Los Angeles face similar challenges to San Francisco.
“The whole issue of climate change and historic preservation intersects (交织) right at the waterfront,” said Elaine Forbes, director of the Port of San Francisco. As she watched the boats come and go on a sunny afternoon, Forbes said, “Sea level rise hasn’t historically been as much of a threat to San Francisco as major earthquakes.” However, that’s changed. Parts of the main road that runs along the waterfront have flooded from heavy rains in recent years. The state estimates (预估) the water could rise up to about two and a half feet above its present level by 2060, and possibly up to seven feet by the turn of the century.
Now, San Francisco is considering measures to save its historic shoreline. But the growing magnitude and frequency of the climate-related threats, the high costs and effort needed in saving heritage sites, and competing ideas about what’s worth saving and what isn’t, can make it hard for cities to know what to do first.
28. What is San Francisco’s waterfront famous for?
A. Old landmarks. B. Famous beaches.
C. Beautiful bridges. D. Comfortable climate.
29. What challenge is the waterfront facing?
A. The loss of public support. B. The threat from rising sea levels.
C. The influence of tourist activities. D. The competition from other cities.
30. Why is the earthquake mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To give an example of existing threats. B. To stress the seriousness of sea level rise.
C. To compare different types of natural disasters. D. To show the difficulty in the waterfront protection.
31. What can be learned from the text?
A. Heritage sites are in ruins. B. Threats have been removed.
C. The shoreline has been flooded. D. Solutions are under consideration.
D
If you’re someone who has been worrying about the rise of the robots—hold on there just a second and let them help you impress your friends with some newfound skills in a foreign language. Using artificial intelligence (AI) to help us learn and improve those skills is not new—some of the online language tools we turn to every day are powered by AI.
But as new technologies flood into the market, now is a great time to take advantage of the tech. And according to experts, these tools aren’t replacing teachers—they’re making their lives easier. One of the things that stops some of us from practicing speaking in a new language is a lack of self-confidence. AI can help—chatbots don’t judge you. Of course, teachers don’t either, but for some people, communicating with a bot may erase that fear of failure or shyness.
The latest chatbots use something called natural language processing that allows them to understand human speech or writing, providing a human-like response right away. While chatbots are extremely useful for learners working individually, teachers can also offer course material and ask an AI system to produce personalized textbooks for groups of students. The AI can also provide feedback (反馈) in seconds—gone are the days of waiting a week for work to be graded.
Past online language tools and games were able to tell you when you were wrong, but they weren’t always able to explain why. Now, not only has that changed, but the explanations are detailed and immediate. But this is not to underestimate the role of the teacher, who can use the technology to help learn more about the strengths and shortcomings of their students and personalize their teaching.
So, if you want to impress your friends with your perfect speech, don’t be afraid of AI. Just think of it as a useful tool for both teachers and language learners, which will give you more time and space to enjoy learning something new!
32. What is the main idea of the article?
A The dangers of Al-robots.
B The history of online language tools.
C. The benefits of AI in language learning.
D. The role of teachers in the modern classroom.
33. Why might someone prefer communicating with a bot?
A. Because bots grade work faster.
B Because bots provide textbooks.
C. Because bots are more knowledgeable.
D. Because bots may remove the fear of failure or shyness.
34. What is the benefit of AI producing personalized textbooks?
A. It saves time for teachers. B. It reduces the cost of education.
C. It meets individual students’ needs. D. It provides detailed lesson plans.
35. What word might replace the underlined word “shortcoming” in paragraph 4?
A. weakness. B. awareness. C. witness. D. darkness.

When I was young, we lived in a small town. Everyone knew Roy as he was a top student in the town. He was of my age, but he lost his parents in an accident at the age of 8. So he lived alone and delivered newspapers to support himself and his education.
Every time he delivered newspapers to our home, he wore a broad smile on his face and greeted my mom gently. My mom was greatly surprised when she knew his daily routine. He got up every morning by 5 o’clock and walked 5 kilometers from where he lived to the newspaper office to collect the newspapers. By 6:00, he carried 50 pieces of newspapers — more than 5 kilograms and walked 3 kilometers back. After sending the newspapers, he rushed another 3 kilometers home to cook a simple breakfast before hurrying to school.
This morning, seeing he left hurriedly in a strong wind, my mom and I decided to do something for him. After school, I waited for him at the school gate and told him that my mom would like to invite him to our home. When he asked why, I replied, “You will know soon!” Thinking for a short while, he followed me to my home nearby. It was possible that he assumed my mom would continue to subscribe to the newspaper.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为100个左右;

My mom stood at the door, waiting for us.

【原文】M: Hi, I’m Chris from Florida. Last year I moved to London where I’m working for an American company. It’s been a big change and there have been lots of things to get used to. For example, in the US we drive on the right, while here in Britain I’ve had to get used to driving on the left. What else? Well, the weather in Florida is usually great, so I’m used to lots of sunshine and I used to sunbathe a lot.
In London it rains so much. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it and I always remember to take my umbrella with me. Food in England is different too. In America I used to eat a lot of Mexican food. Here in England people love Indian food so I’m getting used to the different tastes. At the company where I work it’s quite different. I used to work from nine A M till eleven. PM. I hated working so late here in England. I start at eight thirty A M but finish at five PM.
On Friday evening, English people like to go to the club with friends, but in America I used to go to the gym. I love sports. Is there anything else? Some of the words are different. The subway is called the underground in London and British people call the fall autumn.

Recently, my husband and three kids were playing in the Mediterranean, swimming and floating in the picture-perfect sea. It was extremely beautiful in Majorca, Spain. The way the sun danced across the water and how the blue horizon was dotted with storybook sailboats were such beautiful scenes. I almost couldn’t believe my eyes.
My husband and I always dreamed about taking our kids on a trip around the world. It was something we always wanted to do “one day”. It was one of the things we talked at length about, when we imagined our life with the children we hoped we would have.
Fourteen years later, we had three boys who were growing up faster by the day. It was time to make good on those plans.
We spent dozens of hours discussing, researching and planning. We had to learn how to “road school” our kids and arrange time off from work. We renewed our passports, and then packed our bags. We showed our kids the world. It was about experiencing the dozens of flights and trains and taxis together. We showed them how wonderful, how diverse, and how amazing the world is. We wanted them to learn all that we had learned ourselves, through our own travels as young adults.
But there was something more than that: What we really wanted is to slow down time. We wanted the days to last a bit longer, and the weeks to take their time. The years with our children are going too fast. We wanted to put the brakes on (阻止) our busy lives for a year, and just be with our kids. We wanted a break from the daily morning routine of making lunches, eating breakfast and rushing out of the door in time for school. We needed a family time-out.
It was a wonderful two-month trip in Europe, full of incredible moments. And when we look back at our lives, I know we’ll be glad we did it. I know we’ll be happy that this is a chapter of the story of our family.
24. What was the author’s attitude toward the trip when planning it?
A. Worried. B. Calm. C. Stressed. D. Eager.
25. What does the underlined part “make good on” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Change. B. Realize. C. Improve. D. Cancel.
26 What was the author’s main purpose of taking this trip?
A. To teach her children to value life.
B. To allow her children to see the world.
C. To enjoy a family breakaway from their life routine.
D. To enable her children to learn something out of class.
27. How did the author feel about their two-month stay in Europe?
A. Tired. B. Satisfied. C. Inspired. D. Disappointed.
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. B

San Francisco’s waterfront (海滨) is on the National Register of Historic Places for good reason.
Its beautiful old landmarks, like the Ferry Building and the Bay Bridge, have been seen in many books, TV shows and movies—from the stories and novels of Jack London to the 1970s TV series The Streets of San Francisco. The future of San Francisco’s waterfront, however, isn’t safe.
In 2016, the National Trust for Historic Preservation put part of the city’s shoreline on its list of the U. S.’s most endangered historic places, in part because of the threat of sea level rise. The waterfront landmarks of many cities are under increasing threat from floods and rising sea levels brought on by human-driven climate change. St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice, Italy and the Venice Beach boardwalk in Los Angeles face similar challenges to San Francisco.
“The whole issue of climate change and historic preservation intersects (交织) right at the waterfront,” said Elaine Forbes, director of the Port of San Francisco. As she watched the boats come and go on a sunny afternoon, Forbes said, “Sea level rise hasn’t historically been as much of a threat to San Francisco as major earthquakes.” However, that’s changed. Parts of the main road that runs along the waterfront have flooded from heavy rains in recent years. The state estimates (预估) the water could rise up to about two and a half feet above its present level by 2060, and possibly up to seven feet by the turn of the century.
Now, San Francisco is considering measures to save its historic shoreline. But the growing magnitude and frequency of the climate-related threats, the high costs and effort needed in saving heritage sites, and competing ideas about what’s worth saving and what isn’t, can make it hard for cities to know what to do first.
28. What is San Francisco’s waterfront famous for?
A. Old landmarks. B. Famous beaches.
C. Beautiful bridges. D. Comfortable climate.
29. What challenge is the waterfront facing?
A. The loss of public support. B. The threat from rising sea levels.
C. The influence of tourist activities. D. The competition from other cities.
30. Why is the earthquake mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To give an example of existing threats. B. To stress the seriousness of sea level rise.
C. To compare different types of natural disasters. D. To show the difficulty in the waterfront protection.
31. What can be learned from the text?
A. Heritage sites are in ruins. B. Threats have been removed.
C. The shoreline has been flooded. D. Solutions are under consideration.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. B 31. D
【解析】

【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Its beautiful old landmarks, like the Ferry Building and the Bay Bridge, have been seen in many books, TV shows and movies—from the stories and novels of Jack London to the 1970s TV series The Streets of San Francisco. (它美丽的古老地标,如渡轮大厦和海湾大桥,在许多书籍、电视节目和电影中都有出现——从杰克·伦敦的故事和小说到20世纪70年代的电视剧《旧金山街道》)”可知,旧金山的滨水区以古老地标闻名。故选A。
【29题详解】

【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Parts of the main road that runs along the waterfront have flooded from heavy rains in recent years. The state estimates (预估) the water could rise up to about two and a half feet above its present level by 2060, and possibly up to seven feet by the turn of the century.(近年来,沿着滨水区的部分主要道路因暴雨而被淹没。该州估计,到2060年,水位可能会上升到比现在高2.5英尺左右,到世纪之交可能会上升到7英尺)”可推知,第四段提到了地震是为了强调海平面上升的严重性。故选B。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Now, San Francisco is considering measures to save its historic shoreline.(现在,旧金山正在考虑采取措施保护其历史悠久的海岸线)”可知,解决方案正在考虑之中。故选D。

If you’re someone who has been worrying about the rise of the robots—hold on there just a second, and let them help you impress your friends with some newfound skills in a foreign language. Using artificial intelligence (AI) to help us learn and improve those skills is not new—some of the online language tools we turn to every day are powered by AI.
But as new technologies flood into the market, now is a great time to take advantage of the tech. And according to experts, these tools aren’t replacing teachers—they’re making their lives easier. One of the things that stops some of us from practicing speaking in a new language is a lack of self-confidence. AI can help—chatbots don’t judge you. Of course, teachers don’t either, but for some people, communicating with a bot may erase that fear of failure or shyness.
The latest chatbots use something called natural language processing that allows them to understand human speech or writing, providing a human-like response right away. While chatbots are extremely useful for learners working individually, teachers can also offer course material and ask an AI system to produce personalized textbooks for groups of students. The AI can also provide feedback (反馈) in seconds—gone are the days of waiting a week for work to be graded.
Past online language tools and games were able to tell you when you were wrong, but they weren’t always able to explain why. Now, not only has that changed, but the explanations are detailed and immediate. But this is not to underestimate the role of the teacher, who can use the technology to help learn more about the strengths and shortcomings of their students and personalize their teaching.
So, if you want to impress your friends with your perfect speech, don’t be afraid of AI. Just think of it as a useful tool for both teachers and language learners, which will give you more time and space to enjoy learning something new!
32. What is the main idea of the article?
A. The dangers of Al-robots.
B. The history of online language tools.
C. The benefits of AI in language learning.
D. The role of teachers in the modern classroom.
33. Why might someone prefer communicating with a bot?
A. Because bots grade work faster.
B. Because bots provide textbooks.
C. Because bots are more knowledgeable.
D. Because bots may remove the fear of failure or shyness.
34. What is the benefit of AI producing personalized textbooks?
A. It saves time for teachers. B. It reduces the cost of education.
C. It meets individual students’ needs. D. It provides detailed lesson plans.
35. What word might replace the underlined word “shortcoming” in paragraph 4?
A. weakness. B. awareness. C. witness. D. darkness.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,文章主要讲的是人工智能在语言学习中带给人们的好处。
【32题详解】

Just think of it as a useful tool for both teachers and language learners, which will give you more time and space to enjoy learning something new!(所以,如果你想用你完美的演讲给你的朋友留下深刻印象,不要害怕AI。只要认为它是一个对老师和语言学习者都有用的工具,它会给你更多的时间和空间来享受学习一些新的东西!)”以及其他段落的内容可知,本文主要围绕着人工智能在语言学习中带给人们的好处来展开,因此C项The benefits of AI in language learning. (人工智能在语言学习中的好处。) 最能概括全文内容。故选C项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“One of the things that stops some of us from practicing speaking in a new language is a lack of self-confidence. Al can nelp—chatbots don’t judge you. Of course, teachers don’t either, but for some people, communicating with a bot may erase that fear of failure or shyness.(阻止我们中的一些人练习说一种新的语言的原因之一是缺乏自信。聊天机器人不会评判你。当然,老师也不知道,但对一些人来说,与机器人交流可能会消除对失败或害羞的恐惧。)”可知,有人更喜欢和机器人交流是因为机器人可以消除对失败的恐惧或害羞。故选D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“While chatbots are extremely useful for learners working individually, teachers can also offer course material and ask an AI system to produce personalized textbooks for groups of students. (虽然聊天机器人对于单独工作的学习者非常有用,但教师也可以提供课程材料,并要求智能系统为学生群体制作个性化的教科书。)” 可知,人工智能制作个性化教科书的好处是它可以满足学生的个性化需求。故选C项。
【35题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词之前“But this is not to underestimate the role of the teacher, who can use the technology to help learn more about the strengths and(但这并不是要低估了教师的角色,他可以利用技术来帮助更多了解学生的优势和)”以及划线词之后“of their students and personalize their teaching.(并个性化他们的教学。)”可知老师能够对学生进行个性化教学是因为老师在技术的帮助下已经了解了学生的优点和短处,由并列连词and可知划线词与strengths(优点)构成并列关系,由此可推知划线词意思应为不足,与A项weakness(不足;弱点)意思相近。故选A项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述帮助你和几乎所有的老师建立友好的关系的一些建议。
【36题详解】
根据下文“If you appear angry or unhappy in front of them, the conflict is unlikely to be solved.(如果你在他们面前表现得生气或不开心,冲突不太可能得到解决。)”可推断出在老师面前要表现的友好,才能解决问题,故选D选项“在交谈中一定要有礼貌并表现出尊重。”符合题意,故选D。
【37题详解】
根据下文“Teachers have many years of teaching experience in the subjects they teach. So discussing the best ways to succeed in the classroom may give you the opportunity to see the best instructors.( 教师在他们所教的科目上有多年的教学经验。因此,讨论在课堂上取得成功的最佳方法可能会让你有机会见到最好的老师。) ”可知老师有很多经验,问老师方法如何在课堂上表现,B选项“问问你的老师你怎样才能在课堂上做得好。”符合语境,故选B。
【38题详解】
根据段首句“Learn to understand their teaching methods.( 学会理解他们的教学方法。)”可知这段是谈论理解老师教学方法的。下文“If you are used to a very relaxing class, learning to be successful in a strict environment is difficult and vice versa (反之亦然). In most cases, it is necessary to give yourself some time to get used to a new teaching method.(如果你习惯了一个非常轻松的课堂,在一个严格的环境中学习成功是困难的,反之亦然。在大多数情况下,需要给自己一些时间来适应一种新的教学方法。)”所以G选项“有时候,你可能不喜欢一些老师,因为他们的教学方法。”和下文紧密相连,并且符合本段主旨,故选G。
【39题详解】
根据段首句“Ask about your teachers’ hobbies.(询问老师的爱好。)”可知本段主要是讲了解老师的爱好,找出共同的兴趣,这样才能帮助你更好的了解老师,故选F选项“共同的兴趣爱好可以帮助你从不同的角度看待老师。”符合题意,故选F。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Consider saying something like, “I’ve always wondered why people become teachers.”(可以这样说:“一直想知道为什么人们会当老师。”)”因为要问为什么会选择老师的工作,说明要补充说明一下老师工作的性质,所以A选项“这似乎是一项困难的工作。”符合题意,故选A。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was young, we lived in a small town. Everyone knew Roy as he was a top student in the town. He was of my age, but he lost his parents in an accident at the age of 8. So he lived alone and delivered newspapers to support himself and his education.
Every time he delivered newspapers to our home, he wore a broad smile on his face and greeted my mom gently. My mom was greatly surprised when she knew his daily routine. He got up every morning by 5 o’clock and walked 5 kilometers from where he lived to the newspaper office to collect the newspapers. By 6:00, he carried 50 pieces of newspapers — more than 5 kilograms and walked 3 kilometers back. After sending the newspapers, he rushed another 3 kilometers home to cook a simple breakfast before hurrying to school.
This morning, seeing he left hurriedly in a strong wind, my mom and I decided to do something for him. After school, I waited for him at the school gate and told him that my mom would like to invite him to our home. When he asked why, I replied, “You will know soon!” Thinking for a short while, he followed me to my home nearby. It was possible that he assumed my mom would continue to subscribe to the newspaper.

【答案】范文
My mom stood at the door, waiting for us. As soon as she saw us, she rushed over to give us a big hug and then led us to the dining room. We invited Roy to join us for dinner, and though he hesitated at first, he eventually accepted. As my mom filled up his plate, he said it brought back memories of happy days spent with his parents. Later, as he prepared to leave, I stepped inside and brought out a new bike. “This is for you,” my mom said with a smile.
Seeing the bike in front of him, he couldn’t hold back his tears. With tears of gratitude rolling down his cheeks, he kept saying, “Thank you so much.” My mom wiped his tears and put her arm around his shoulders. We told him we were shocked to learn that he had to walk 11 miles before going to school. So we hoped this bike would make his life easier. We helped him because we admired him.
