There are specific rules that pet owners must be aware of for the protection and safety of their pets, themselves and wildlife. These rules have been developed over the years from experiences with pets, wildlife and accidents in the park. Yellowstone National Park is a natural area where wildlife is free to wander undisturbed. Park visitors should be able to enjoy native wildlife in their natural environment without the disruption (干扰) of other people’s pets. For this reason, pets are banned in the backcountry and on trails and boardwalks or thermal areas (温泉区). Some additional reasons why pets are prohibited in the backcountry and on trails and boardwalks: * Pets occasionally escape from their owners. Pet animals generally lack the ability to survive in the wild. * There is a strong possibility that your pet could become prey for a bear, coyote, owl or other predators. * There is a possibility of exchange of diseases between pet animals and wildlife. Pets may accompany you in the front country areas of the park. This includes any area within 100 feet/30.5meters of roads, parking areas and campgrounds. Pets must be kept under physical control at all times — caged, crated or on a leash not to exceed six feet in length. There is no kennel facility within Yellowstone National Park. Remember: Pets leave traces other than footprints. The owner is responsible for cleanup and disposal of all pet body wastes. Please be thoughtful of other visitors as well as your pet. 1. What can park visitors do in Yellowstone National Park? A. Get away from pet animals and wildlife. B. Protect themselves from other visitors’ pets and wildlife. C. Keep physical control of any pet disturbing their visit in the park. D. Enjoy native wildlife in their natural environment without disruption. 2. Where are pets permitted to go within Yellowstone National Park according to the passage? A. In the backcountry. B. On trails and boardwalks. C. In some front country areas. D. In the natural habitats of the wildlife. 3. How many reasons are mentioned to explain why pets are banned in some areas? A. 2． B. 3． C. 4． D. 5． B Once upon a time in a small village, there lived a young boy named Tim. Tim was known for his extraordinary talent in painting, but he was also known for his lack of confidence. He often hid his paintings, fearing they would not be good enough for others to see. One day, an art competition was announced in the village. Tim’s friends and family encouraged him to participate, but he hesitated, doubting his abilities. His grandfather, a wise old man, noticed Tim’s hesitation and took him to the village stream. “Look at the stream, Tim,” said his grandfather.“Do you see how the water flows smoothly, even when it meets rocks? It never gives up. It finds a way around or over them.” Tim watched the water, understanding the lesson. His grandfather continued, “Your talent is like the water. It’s powerful and beautiful. Don’t let fear block your path. Flow like the water, and let your talent shine.” Inspired by his grandfather’s words, Tim decided to enter the competition. He painted with all his heart, pouring his emotions into the painting. When the day of the competition came, he handed in his painting, still nervous but determined. The results were announced, and to everyone’s surprise, Tim won the first prize. His painting was admired for its depth and emotion. Tim learned a valuable lesson that day: confidence comes from within, and it’s essential to believe in oneself. From then on, Tim never hid his paintings again. He became a well-known artist, always remembering the day his grandfather taught him to flow like water, overcoming every difficulty with determination. 4. Why did Tim hide his paintings? A. He lacked confidence. B. He didn’t want to show off. C. He wanted to improve his paintings. D. He thought his paintings were too well-known. 5. Which of the following can best describe Tim’s grandfather? A. Brave and determined. B. Wise and inspiring. C. Talented and confident. D. Hardworking and smart. 6. What made Tim decide to take part in the competition? A. The prize of the competition. B. The words from his grandfather. C. The water in the village stream. D. The encouragements from his friends and family. 7. What can we learn from Tim’s story? A. No pains, no gains. B. Rome wasn’t built in a day. C. Many hands make light work. D. Where there is a will, there is a way. C When Diane Gayeski, a professor at Ithaca College, receives an essay from one of her students, she runs part of it through a computer program. It is an AI tool to suggest how to improve the work. She shows her students the results and how the tool rewrote their essay. She also asks her students to do the same: run their draft through the program to see where they can make improvements. AI is reshaping education. Both teachers and students are using the new technology. It’s reported that half of college students used AI tools in Fall, 2023. At the same time, while fewer teachers used AI, the percentage grew to 22% in the fall of 2023. It is up from 9% in spring 2023. But while some schools have formed policies on how students can or can’t use AI for schoolwork, many do not have guidelines for teachers. The practice of using AI by teachers also raises moral problems. And parents and students who are already spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on college are wondering if it is worth the time and money. AI would allow teachers to grade papers more effectively and consistently. It can process and grade papers much faster than a human, allowing for quicker feedback(反馈) and avoiding human emotions. But Leidner, a professor at the University of Virginia noted when it came to smaller classes or assignments with less definitive answers, grading should be done by teachers to get to know more about a student’s work. She also said it would not be right to upload the material into the AI. The students need to be aware of this in advance. Some schools are actively working on policies for both teachers and students. Nicolas Frank, a professor of philosophy at University of Lynchburg worries it’s too early. He is also concerned that some school leaders may oversimplify the problems with AI use. Leidner, meanwhile, said universities must also be open to “regularly checking and reconsidering as the technology and uses develop.” 8. What do the numbers in the second paragraph indicate? A. AI is developing fast in colleges. B. AI is overused by college students and teachers. C. AI has been used by more and more college students and teachers. D. AI has caused many problems between college students and teachers. 9 What potential problem has AI used in college brought? A. Economic crisis. B. Moral concerns. C. Emotional problems. D. Interpersonal problems. 10. What does the underlined word “consistently” in the fourth paragraph mean? A. Reliably. B. Economically. C. Creatively. D. Correctly. 11. Which of the following may Leidner agree? A. University leaders should simplify the problems with AI use. B. Universities should work out policies for AI use immediately. C. Universities should encourage students and teachers to use AI. D. Universities should evaluate AI use at regular times as it advances. D Climate change is affecting the speed of the Earth’s rotation (旋转) and could impact how we keep time, a study says. “Global warming is already affecting global timekeeping,” says the study, published in the journal Nature. The Earth’s rotation rate has an effect on how long our days and night s are. In the past, the Earth’s rotation was slightly quicker. We added leap seconds from time to time to ensure our clocks reflect the Earth’s rotation as accurately as possible. Since the 1970s, about 27 leap seconds have been added to the global clock. In recent years, the Earth’s rotation has been getting slower. Thus, timekeepers are planning on taking away a second for the first time in 2026．This is known as a “negative leap second.” However, the study finds that ice melting caused by climate change has partly balanced out that speeding-up. Ice sheets are now losing mass five times faster than they were 30 years ago. It means that the negative leap second change will not be needed until 2029． “It’s kind of impressive, even to me, we’ve done something that even changes how fast the Earth rotates,” Duncan Agnew, the author of the study, told NBC News. The negative leap second has never been used before. According to the study, its use will pose a major challenge to making sure that all parts of the global timing facilities show the same time,” Mr Agnew said. “Many computer programs for leap seconds assume they are all positive. If the negative leap second should be put into use, all the programs would have to be rewritten,” he added. There have been some doubts about the study, however. Dr. Matsakis, a former chief scientist for time services, said that it’s still too early for us to tell if a negative leap second would be needed soon. Human activities like burning fossil fuels are causing world temperatures to rise. And that temperature rise is having a huge effect on the environment, including the rapid melting of ice sheets. 12. What’s the type of this passage? A. A news report. B. A narrative essay. C. A practical writing. D. An argumentative writing. 13. How did timekeepers ensure our clocks reflect the Earth’s rotation in the past? A. By using new clocks. B. By adding leap seconds. C. By taking away a second. D. By creating smarter computer networks. 14. Why has the negative leap second change been put off? A. Because its use will destroy the computer programs. B. Because human activities have affected the timekeeping. C. Because the global timing facilities cannot show the same time. D. Because the speeding-up of the Earth’s rotation has been balanced. 15. What’s the passage mainly talking about? A. Climate change has affected the timekeeping. B. The negative leap second has been put into use. C. Global warming has caused a series of problems. D. Timekeeping has affected the computer programs. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Labor Day is observed on the first Monday of September in the US.

When she had time, she would bring food and medicine to them. One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before. There was a man sick in bed, his wife, who took care of him and could not go out to work, and their little boy.

He wants very much to earn some money, but I don’t see what he can do.” After their mother left the room, the children sat thinking about Boby. “I wish we could help him to earn money,” said Clara. “His family is suffering so much.” “So do I,” said Harry. “We really should do something to assist them.” For some moments, John said nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet and cried, “I have a great idea! I have a solution that we can all help achieve.” The other children also jumped up all attention. When John had an idea, it was sure to be a good one. “I tell you what we can do,” said John. “You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us?

Tim was known for his extraordinary talent in painting, but he was also known for his lack of confidence. He often hid his paintings, fearing they would not be good enough for others to see. One day, an art competition was announced in the village. Tim’s friends and family encouraged him to participate, but he hesitated, doubting his abilities. His grandfather, a wise old man, noticed Tim’s hesitation and took him to the village stream. “Look at the stream, Tim,” said his grandfather.“Do you see how the water flows smoothly, even when it meets rocks? It never gives up. It finds a way around or over them.” Tim watched the water, understanding the lesson. His grandfather continued, “Your talent is like the water. It’s powerful and beautiful. Don’t let fear block your path. Flow like the water, and let your talent shine.” Inspired by his grandfather’s words, Tim decided to enter the competition. He painted with all his heart, pouring his emotions into the painting. When the day of the competition came, he handed in his painting, still nervous but determined. The results were announced, and to everyone’s surprise, Tim won the first prize. His painting was admired for its depth and emotion. Tim learned a valuable lesson that day: confidence comes from within, and it’s essential to believe in oneself. From then on, Tim never hid his paintings again. He became a well-known artist, always remembering the day his grandfather taught him to flow like water, overcoming every difficulty with determination. 4. Why did Tim hide his paintings? A. He lacked confidence. B. He didn’t want to show off. C. He wanted to improve his paintings. D. He thought his paintings were too well-known. 5. Which of the following can best describe Tim’s grandfather? A. Brave and determined. B. Wise and inspiring. C. Talented and confident. D. Hardworking and smart. 6. What made Tim decide to take part in the competition? A. The prize of the competition. B. The words from his grandfather. C. The water in the village stream. D. The encouragements from his friends and family. 7. What can we learn from Tim’s story? A. No pains, no gains. B. Rome wasn’t built in a day. C. Many hands make light work. D. Where there is a will, there is a way. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了蒂姆有非凡的绘画天赋，但缺乏自信，在祖父的鼓舞下，成为了一名著名的艺术家。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Tim was known for his extraordinary talent in painting, but he was also known for his lack of confidence. He often hid his paintings, fearing they would not be good enough for others to see.(蒂姆以其非凡的绘画天赋而闻名，但他也因缺乏自信而闻名。他经常把自己的画藏起来，担心别人看见的画不够好。)”可知，蒂姆缺乏自信，所以把他的画藏起来。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“His grandfather, a wise old man, noticed Tim’s hesitation and took him to the village stream.(他的祖父，一个聪明的老人，注意到蒂姆的犹豫，带他到村里的小溪。)”和第三段“‘Look at the stream, Tim,’ said his grandfather. ‘Do you see how the water flows smoothly, even when it meets rocks? It never gives up. It finds a way around or over them.’(‘看那条小溪，蒂姆，’他的祖父说。‘你看到水是怎样平滑地流动了吗，即使遇到了岩石？它从不放弃。它会绕过或越过它们。’)”以及第四段中“His grandfather continued, ‘Your talent is like the water. It’s powerful and beautiful. Don’t let fear block your path. Flow like the water, and let your talent shine.’(他的祖父继续说：‘你的才华就像水。它是强大而美丽的。不要让恐惧挡住你的路。像水一样流动，让你的才华闪耀。’)”可知，蒂姆的祖父是明智的，并且鼓舞人心的。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Inspired by his grandfather’s words, Tim decided to enter the competition.(受爷爷的话的鼓舞，蒂姆决定参加比赛。)”可知，他祖父的话使蒂姆决定参加比赛。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“He painted with all his heart, pouring his emotions into the painting. When the day of the competition came, he handed in his painting, still nervous but determined.(他全心作画，把感情倾注在画中。比赛的日子到了，他交了画，仍然紧张，但决心坚定。)”和最后一段“From then on, Tim never hid his paintings again. He became a well-known artist, always remembering the day his grandfather taught him to flow like water, overcoming every difficulty with determination.(从那以后，蒂姆再也没有藏过他的画。他成为了一名著名的艺术家，他永远记得祖父教他像水一样流动的那一天，用决心克服每一个困难。)”可知，我们能从蒂姆的故事中学到“有志者，事竟成”。故选D项。 C When Diane Gayeski, a professor at Ithaca College, receives an essay from one of her students, she runs part of it through a computer program. It is an AI tool to suggest how to improve the work. She shows her students the results and how the tool rewrote their essay. She also asks her students to do the same: run their draft through the program to see where they can make improvements. AI is reshaping education. Both teachers and students are using the new technology. It’s reported that half of college students used AI tools in Fall, 2023. At the same time, while fewer teachers used AI, the percentage grew to 22% in the fall of 2023. It is up from 9% in spring 2023. But while some schools have formed policies on how students can or can’t use AI for schoolwork, many do not have guidelines for teachers. The practice of using AI by teachers also raises moral problems. And parents and students who are already spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on college are wondering if it is worth the time and money. AI would allow teachers to grade papers more effectively and consistently. It can process and grade papers much faster than a human, allowing for quicker feedback(反馈) and avoiding human emotions. But Leidner, a professor at the University of Virginia noted when it came to smaller classes or assignments with less definitive answers, grading should be done by teachers to get to know more about a student’s work. She also said it would not be right to upload the material into the AI. The students need to be aware of this in advance. Some schools are actively working on policies for both teachers and students. Nicolas Frank, a professor of philosophy at University of Lynchburg worries it’s too early. He is also concerned that some school leaders may oversimplify the problems with AI use. Leidner, meanwhile, said universities must also be open to “regularly checking and reconsidering as the technology and uses develop.” 8. What do the numbers in the second paragraph indicate? A. AI is developing fast in colleges. B. AI is overused by college students and teachers. C. AI has been used by more and more college students and teachers. D. AI has caused many problems between college students and teachers. 9. What potential problem has AI used in college brought? A. Economic crisis. B. Moral concerns. C. Emotional problems. D. Interpersonal problems. 10. What does the underlined word “consistently” in the fourth paragraph mean? A. Reliably. B. Economically. C. Creatively. D. Correctly. 11. Which of the following may Leidner agree? A. University leaders should simplify the problems with AI use. B. Universities should work out policies for AI use immediately. C. Universities should encourage students and teachers to use AI. D Universities should evaluate AI use at regular times as it advances. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章讲述了AI在大学中运用越来越多，但是同时也带来了一些问题，大学需要制定相关使用AI的政策。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“AI is reshaping education. Both teachers and students are using the new technology. It’s reported that half of college students used AI tools in Fall, 2023. At the same time, while fewer teachers used AI, the percentage grew to 22% in the fall of 2023. It is up from 9% in spring 2023. (人工智能正在重塑教育。老师和学生都在使用这种新技术。据报道，2023年秋季，一半的大学生使用人工智能工具。与此同时，虽然使用人工智能的教师减少了，但这一比例在2023年秋季增长到了22%。这一比例高于2023年春季的9%。)”可知，人工智能在大学中使用的速度在加快。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The practice of using AI by teachers also raises moral problems. (教师使用人工智能的做法也引发了道德问题。)”可知，运用人工智能可能带来道德问题。故选B。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第三段“It can process and grade papers much faster than a human, allowing for quicker feedback(反馈) and avoiding human emotions. (它可以比人类更快地处理和评分论文，允许更快的反馈，避免人类的情绪)”可知，人工智能能够更有效，更可靠地评定学生的成绩。选项A. reliably意为“可靠地”与画线词的意思相近。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“ Leidner, meanwhile, said universities must also be open to ‘regularly checking and reconsidering as the technology and uses develop.’ (与此同时，Leidner表示，随着技术和用途的发展，大学也必须“定期检查和重新考虑”。)”可推知，Leidner认为随着人工智能的发展，大学应该定期评估人工智能的使用情况。故选D。 D Climate change is affecting the speed of the Earth’s rotation (旋转) and could impact how we keep time, a study says. “Global warming is already affecting global timekeeping,” says the study, published in the journal Nature. The Earth’s rotation rate has an effect on how long our days and night s are. In the past, the Earth’s rotation was slightly quicker. We added leap seconds from time to time to ensure our clocks reflect the Earth’s rotation as accurately as possible. Since the 1970s, about 27 leap seconds have been added to the global clock. In recent years, the Earth’s rotation has been getting slower. Thus, timekeepers are planning on taking away a second for the first time in 2026．This is known as a “negative leap second.” However the study finds that ice melting caused by climate change has partly balanced out that speeding-up. Ice sheets are now losing mass five times faster than they were 30 years ago. It means that the negative leap second change will not be needed until 2029． “It’s kind of impressive, even to me, we’ve done something that even changes how fast the Earth rotates,” Duncan Agnew, the author of the study, told NBC News. The negative leap second has never been used before. According to the study, its use will pose a major challenge to making sure that all parts of the global timing facilities show the same time,” Mr Agnew said. “Many computer programs for leap seconds assume they are all positive. If the negative leap second should be put into use, all the programs would have to be rewritten,” he added. There have been some doubts about the study, however. Dr. Matsakis, a former chief scientist for time services, said that it’s still too early for us to tell if a negative leap second would be needed soon. Human activities like burning fossil fuels are causing world temperatures to rise. And that temperature rise is having a huge effect on the environment, including the rapid melting of ice sheets. 12. What’s the type of this passage? A. A news report. B. A narrative essay. C. A practical writing. D. An argumentative writing. 13. How did timekeepers ensure our clocks reflect the Earth’s rotation in the past? A. By using new clocks. B. By adding leap seconds. C. By taking away a second. D. By creating smarter computer networks. 14. Why has the negative leap second change been put off? A. Because its use will destroy the computer programs. B. Because human activities have affected the timekeeping. C. Because the global timing facilities cannot show the same time. D. Because the speeding-up of the Earth’s rotation has been balanced. 15. What’s the passage mainly talking about? A. Climate change has affected the timekeeping. B. The negative leap second has been put into use. C. Global warming has caused a series of problems. D. Timekeeping has affected the computer programs. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了气候变化影响了地球自转的速度，继而影响了计时的方式。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Climate change is affecting the speed of the Earth’s rotation (旋转) and could impact how we keep time, a study says. “Global warming is already affecting global timekeeping,” says the study, published in the journal Nature.(一项研究表明，气候变化正在影响地球自转的速度，并可能影响我们计时的方式。发表在《自然》杂志上的这项研究说：“全球变暖已经影响到全球的计时。”)”可知，这篇文章属于新闻报道。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In the past, the Earth’s rotation was slightly quicker. We added leap seconds from time to time to ensure our clocks reflect the Earth’s rotation as accurately as possible.(在过去，地球的自转稍微快一些。我们不时地增加闰秒，以确保我们的时钟尽可能准确地反映地球的自转)”可知，在过去，计时员通过增加闰秒来确保我们的时钟反映地球的自转。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“However, the study finds that ice melting caused by climate change has partly balanced out that speeding-up. Ice sheets are now losing mass five times faster than they were 30 years ago. It means that the negative leap second change will not be needed until 2029．(然而，该研究发现，由气候变化引起的冰融化在一定程度上抵消了这种加速。现在冰盖的质量损失速度是30年前的5倍。这意味着直到2029年才需要负闰秒的变化)”以及第四段““It’s kind of impressive, even to me, we’ve done something that even changes how fast the Earth rotates,” Duncan Agnew, the author of the study, told NBC News.(该研究的作者邓肯·阿格纽告诉NBC新闻:“这令人印象深刻，甚至对我来说，我们所做的事情甚至改变了地球自转的速度。”)”可知，负闰秒的变化被推迟是因为人类活动影响了计时。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Climate change is affecting the speed of the Earth’s rotation (旋转) and could impact how we keep time, a study says. “Global warming is already affecting global timekeeping,” says the study, published in the journal Nature.(一项研究表明，气候变化正在影响地球自转的速度，并可能影响我们计时的方式。发表在《自然》杂志上的这项研究说：“全球变暖已经影响到全球的计时。”)”结合文章主要说明了气候变化影响了地球自转的速度，继而影响了计时的方式。可知，这篇文章主要讲了气候变化影响了计时。故选A。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Labor Day is observed on the first Monday of September in the US.

Mrs. Cliton was a most kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor. She knew they had problems, and they needed all kinds of help.

There was a man sick in bed, his wife, who took care of him and could not go out to work, and their little boy. The little boy — his name was Boby — had interested her very much. “I wish you could see him,” she said to her own children, John, Harry, and Clara. “He is such a help to his mother. He wants very much to earn some money, but I don’t see what he can do.” After their mother left the room, the children sat thinking about Boby. “I wish we could help him to earn money,” said Clara. “His family is suffering so much.” “So do I,” said Harry. “We really should do something to assist them.” For some moments, John said nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet and cried, “I have a great idea! I have a solution that we can all help achieve.” The other children also jumped up all attention.

We know that carbon dioxide is the major greenhouse gas that causes global warming. By living a low-carbon life, we can cut carbon dioxide emissions, which may contribute to stopping the temperature from rising. There are many ways of leading an environmentally friendly life. For instance, we can turn off electrical appliances like lights, the television and the computer when we aren’t using them. Cars not only cause serious air pollution but also waste energy, so we could walk or ride a bicycle for short trips. If we need to travel a long distance we can take public transportation. It’s also wise to use reusable cloth bags and not disposable plastic bags when we shop. I believe that as long as each of us makes a small change to cut carbon emissions, we can make a big difference and develop a harmonious relationship with the environment. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生写一篇短文投稿，因为学校英语报举办了主题为“低碳生活，从我做起”的征文活动。 【详解】1.词汇积累 减少：cut→reduce 主要的：major→crucial/primary 导致：contribute to→lead to/result in 明智的：wise→intelligent/sensible 2.句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：It’s also wise to use reusable cloth bags and not disposable plastic bags when we shop. 拓展句：It’s also wise that we use reusable cloth bags instead of disposable plastic bags when shopping. 【点睛】【高分句型1】By living a low-carbon life, we can cut carbon dioxide emissions, which may contribute to stopping the temperature from rising.
