B A 36-year-old man is attempting to set a new record by rowing 5,000 miles solo from Hawaii to Australia while dedicating his journey to saving the planet. Tez Steinberg, of Boulder, Colorado, plans to leave Hawaii on December 20 on his solo trip across the Pacific Ocean. Actually, it’s the second leg of an adventure that began in 2020 when he rowed solo for 71 days from Monterey, California, to Oahu, Hawaii. Steinberg began to experience depression while he was in college. At the time, he found a solution by participating in endurance sports. “It helped me feel better,” he said. “But as I went farther and farther, pushing myself through marathons and triathlons, I discovered this belief in myself that I’m so much stronger than I thought I was.” However, in 2016, his life took a big turn after the sudden death of his dad. The blow caused him to challenge himself even more by solo rowing across an ocean. After successfully completing the task without any prior professional experience, Steinberg realized he could use his story to inspire other people to believe in themselves and their potential to change and grow. Recalling the first journey at sea, he said, “I was so surprised by how beautiful the ocean was, and also how much plastic I saw. So it was that realization at sea that led me to want to go back out again.” Inspired by his first expedition, Steinberg’s new mission is to focus on ocean conservation, and specifically ocean plastics. “All the plastic I saw at sea was just heartbreaking,” he said. The upcoming voyage will be part of an attempt to break a Guinness World Record. Nevertheless, breaking records isn’t his priority. “Personally, although a world record is exciting, that’s not why I’m in it. The world record is fun for media attention, but through it we can get more donations, support and action for ocean plastics,” Steinberg said. 4. What can we learn about Steinberg from paragraphs 3 and 4? A. He suffered academically. B. He was expert in extreme sports. C. He gained confidence from motivating others. D. He turned to challenging tasks in face of difficulties. 5. Why did Steinberg go on the first adventure at sea? A. To recover from the state of depression. B. To relieve the pain of his father’s passing. C. To inspire other people to fulfil their dreams. D. To challenge himself to achieve the impossible. 6. What is Steinberg’s main purpose in setting off for the second expedition? A. To break a world record. B. To establish a good reputation. C. To contribute to ocean protection. D. To urge governments to take action. 7. Which of the following best describes Steinberg? A Stubborn and ambitious. B. Self-centered and sympathetic. C. Determined and knowledgeable. D. Responsible and courageous. C While scientists have many ideas, there is no single explanation for why humans yawn. Still, there is one thing experts know about yawns—they seem to be infectious! Have you ever caught a yawn from someone else? Most people have. According to one previous study, a person is six times more likely to yawn after seeing someone else do so. Experts have done many studies into why yawns seem to pass from person to person. As a result, experts have a few theories for the reason behind it. One possible explanation has to do with something called social mirroring. This is caused by mirror neurons (镜像神经元) in the brain. These cells help the brain notice useful behavior of others and then copy it. When one person sees another person yawning, his mirror neurons observe the action and interpret it as beneficial behavior. That may cause him to yawn, too. Another popular theory is that yawns are infectious thanks to social relationships. Humans are undoubtedly social creatures. They form friendships, start families, and live together in groups. That’s why many people mirror others, such as smiling when another person does so. Yawning maybe just another example of this. In fact, research has shown that people are most likely to catch a case of the yawns from another person if the two share a social relationship. The answer could even be that yawns aren’t truly infectious at all. Instead, people may yawn when they’e together simply because they‘re in the same environment. Experts say many things may cause yawning—including temperature and time. Possible causes may be experienced by anyone in the same general area. Whatever the explanation is, experts do know that infectious yawns aren’t limited to humans. One study found that lions in South Africa also caught each other’s yawns. 8. What kind of behavior may be copied by the mirror neurons? A. Unimportant but attractive. B. Useful and beneficial. C. Hard to understand. D. Easy to copy. 9. Whose yawns are people most likely to copy according to paragraph 3? A. The ones who yawn a lot. B. The ones who are friendly to them. C. The ones closely connected with them. D. The ones sharing the same interest with them. 10. What might the author continue talking about in the following paragraph? A. Some tips on yawning in public. B. A real explanation for infectious yawning. C. Other examples of animals yawning together. D. Further studies of infectious yawning in humans. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Why yawns are infectious. B. What causes people to yawn. C. Who yawns more than others. D. Whether yawns are infectious. D An artificial intelligence (AI) trained on personal data covering the entire population of Denmark can predict people’s chances of dying more accurately than any existing model, even those used in the insurance industry. The researchers behind the technology say it could also have a positive impact on early prediction of social and health problems. Sune Lehmann Jorgensen at the Technical University of Denmark and his colleagues used the data covering various aspects of 6 million people from 2008 to 2020 from Denmark. They changed the data into words that could be used to train a large language model, the same technology that powers other AI apps. These models work by looking at a series of words and determining which word is statistically most likely to come next, based on vast amounts of examples. In a similar way, the researchers’ Life2vec model can look at a series of life events that form a person’s history and determine what is most likely to happen next. In experiments, Life2vec was trained on all but the last four years of the data, which was held back for testing. The researchers took data on a group of people aged from 35 to 65, half of whom died between 2016 and 2020, and asked Life2vec to predict who lived and who died. It was 11 percent more accurate than any existing AI model used to price life insurance policies in the finance industry. Jorgensen believes that the model has consumed enough data that it is likely to be able to shed light on a wide range of health and social topics. This means it could be used to predict health issues and catch them early, or by governments to reduce inequality. But he stresses that it could also be used by companies in a harmful way. “Clearly, our model should not be used by an insurance company, because the whole idea of insurance is that, by sharing the lack of knowledge of somebody who is going to be the unlucky person struck by some incidents or deaths, we can kind of share this burden,” says Jorgensen. 12. What makes Life2vec more powerful in forecasting death risks? A. It is trained on vast amounts of data. B. It goes through a large number of tests. C. It uses the same technology as other AI apps do. D. It is intended for the government to make policies. 13. What does the underlined phrase “shed light on” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Revise. B. Recognize. C. Resolve. D. Reveal. 14. Why should Life2vec be kept out of the hands of businesses? A. To remove social inequality. B. To guard public interests. C. To keep its technology a secret. D. To maintain the government’s authority. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Life2vec: Superior To Other AI Apps B. New AI Can Predict Risk Of Early Death C. Advanced Technology Addresses Social Problems D. Insurance Companies: Keep Away From Life2vec 第二节 (共5 小题；每小题3分，满分15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。 Nothing makes or breaks a camping trip more than how comfortable you are at night, and keeping warm is a priority in most seasons. ____16____ .

Roy was the first to support him. Five of them decided to organize a long-distance cycle ride. According to the original plan, they departed from the riverbank ferry at 7 am on Tuesday on time. However, on Monday night, there was a rainstorm in this area, which led to flooding. Fortunately, the weather cleared up soon and it wouldn’t affect their arrangements. It was 8:30, but the other three didn’t arrive. David and Roy were anxiously waiting. Finally, the three turned up exhausted. “We had to come round a long way,” said Robert. “The old bridge over the stream had collapsed.” “And that means we had to ride an extra quarter of a mile and use the other bridge,” added Henry. “The stream must be nearly five feet deep after all this rain.” “Don’t worry.” said David. “The Town Council will soon build another one.” “Oh no,” replied Henry quickly. “My father has asked about that. There isn’t enough money this year.” The boys were silent. That meant that their original plan had to be readjusted. “I wonder who built that old bridge,” said Robert. “It was only a few tree trunks and logs held together with some nails.” Then an idea struck him. “Do you think we could rebuild it?” “You know…” David paused. “I think we can do it, if we plan it properly and can borrow the tools.” The boys started to consider the idea seriously. Sammy told them that his elder brother worked in the Public Works Department and could probably make a plan for them. Their greatest problem was to find enough logs. The next day the boys visited nearly every house. In the evening, they gathered. “I must tell you this,” David burst out. “Mr. Robinson, our mayor, has promised to supply logs as long as we do the work and finish it within a month. He thanked us for our volunteer behavior and instructed us to pay attention to safety.” 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。 Mr. Robinson kept his promise and sent enough logs. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Nearby residents decided on an opening ceremony for the new bridge. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1—5 CABAB 6—10 CBABA 11—15 BCACC 16—20 CABBC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 晋城市 2024 年高三第一次模拟考试试题 英 语 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?

Clark部分中“Celebrate the wonders of ordinary, small things as a girl and her grandfather take a walk to notice all the tiny and perfect things; things like a yellow leaf, a snail, a red bottle cap, a flower growing through a sidewalk crack…When they arrive home, the little girl excitedly shares about the wonders she saw.(颂扬平凡的小东西小事的奇迹，当一个女孩和她的祖父散步时，注意到所有微小而完美的事物；比如一片黄叶、一只蜗牛、一个红色的瓶盖、一朵从人行道裂缝里钻出来的花……当他们回到家时，小女孩兴奋地分享着她所看到的奇迹。)”可知，在Tiny, Perfect Things一书中，读者能感受到大自然的魅力。故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据I Love You Mucho Mucho by Rachel Más Davidson部分“Rosie visits her nana, but she forgets Nana doesn’t speak English. How will they communicate? First, they start with food. Then they do art together and take a walk. Nana says a word in Spanish and Rosie says the word in English. No matter what, their love is a language of its own that doesn’t need words.(罗茜去看望奶奶，但她忘了奶奶不会说英语。他们将如何沟通?首先，他们从食物开始。然后他们一起做艺术，一起散步。奶奶用西班牙语说一个单词，罗茜用英语说这个单词。无论如何，他们的爱是一种不需要言语的语言)”可知，I Love You Mucho Mucho一书中讲述了罗茜和奶奶语言不通，但她们用爱交流的故事，所以这本书要表达的是爱真的很重要。故选A项。 B A 36-year-old man is attempting to set a new record by rowing 5,000 miles solo from Hawaii to Australia while dedicating his journey to saving the planet. Tez Steinberg, of Boulder, Colorado, plans to leave Hawaii on December 20 on his solo trip across the Pacific Ocean. Actually, it’s the second leg of an adventure that began in 2020 when he rowed solo for 71 days from Monterey, California, to Oahu, Hawaii. Steinberg began to experience depression while he was in college. At the time, he found a solution by participating in endurance sports. “It helped me feel better,” he said. “But as I went farther and farther, pushing myself through marathons and triathlons, I discovered this belief in myself that I’m so much stronger than I thought I was.” However, in 2016, his life took a big turn after the sudden death of his dad. The blow caused him to challenge himself even more by solo rowing across an ocean. After successfully completing the task without any prior professional experience, Steinberg realized he could use his story to inspire other people to believe in themselves and their potential to change and grow. Recalling the first journey at sea, he said, “I was so surprised by how beautiful the ocean was, and also how much plastic I saw. So it was that realization at sea that led me to want to go back out again.” Inspired by his first expedition, Steinberg’s new mission is to focus on ocean conservation, and specifically ocean plastics. “All the plastic I saw at sea was just heartbreaking,” he said. The upcoming voyage will be part of an attempt to break a Guinness World Record. Nevertheless, breaking records isn’t his priority. “Personally, although a world record is exciting, that’s not why I’m in it. The world record is fun for media attention, but through it we can get more donations, support and action for ocean plastics,” Steinberg said. 4. What can we learn about Steinberg from paragraphs 3 and 4? A. He suffered academically. B. He was expert in extreme sports. C. He gained confidence from motivating others. D. He turned to challenging tasks in face of difficulties. 5. Why did Steinberg go on the first adventure at sea? A. To recover from the state of depression. B. To relieve the pain of his father’s passing. C. To inspire other people to fulfil their dreams. D. To challenge himself to achieve the impossible. 6. What is Steinberg’s main purpose in setting off for the second expedition? A. To break a world record. B. To establish a good reputation. C. To contribute to ocean protection. D. To urge governments to take action. 7. Which of the following best describes Steinberg? A. Stubborn and ambitious. B. Self-centered and sympathetic. C. Determined and knowledgeable. D. Responsible and courageous. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了一名36岁的男子Steinberg正试图创造一项新的记录，他计划从夏威夷划船5000英里到达澳大利亚，并致力于拯救地球。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Steinberg began to experience depression while he was in college. At the time, he found a solution by participating in endurance sports.(斯坦伯格在大学期间开始经历抑郁症。当时，他通过参加耐力运动找到了解决方案)”以及第四段的“However, in 2016, his life took a big turn after the sudden death of his dad. The blow caused him to challenge himself even more by solo rowing across an ocean.(然而，在2016年，父亲突然去世后，他的生活发生了重大转折。这一打击使他独自划船横渡大海，对自己提出了更大的挑战)”可知，Steinberg每次面对困难，他并没有放弃，而是更加挑战自己。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“However, in 2016, his life took a big turn after the sudden death of his dad. The blow caused him to challenge himself even more by solo rowing across an ocean. (然而，在2016年，父亲突然去世后，他的生活发生了重大转折。这一打击使他独自划船横渡大海，对自己提出了更大的挑战)”可知，为了减轻他父亲去世的痛苦，Steinberg第一次海上探险。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段的“Recalling the first journey at sea, he said, “I was so surprised by how beautiful the ocean was, and also how much plastic I saw. So it was that realization at sea that led me to want to go back out again.” Inspired by his first expedition, Steinberg’s new mission is to focus on ocean conservation, and specifically ocean plastics.(回忆起第一次海上之旅，他说：“我对海洋的美丽和我看到的塑料数量感到非常惊讶。正是在海上的这一认识让我想再次回到大海。”斯坦伯格的新使命是专注于海洋保护，特别是海洋塑料)”可知，Steinberg出发进行第二次探险的主要目的是为海洋保护做出贡献。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Tez Steinberg, of Boulder, Colorado, plans to leave Hawaii on December 20 on his solo trip across the Pacific Ocean. Actually, it’s the second leg of an adventure that began in 2020 when he rowed solo for 71 days from Monterey, California, to Oahu, Hawaii.(科罗拉多州博尔德市的泰兹·斯坦伯格计划于12月20日离开夏威夷，独自穿越太平洋。事实上，这是他从2020年开始的一次冒险的第二站，当时他独自划船71天，从加利福尼亚州的蒙特利到夏威夷的瓦胡岛)”以及最后一段“The world record is fun for media attention, but through it we can get more donations, support and action for ocean plastics,” Steinberg said.(媒体关注世界纪录很有趣，但通过它，我们可以为清除海洋塑料获得更多的捐款、支持和行动)”可知，Steinberg已经开始划船独自穿越太平洋的计划，而且他穿越太平洋的目的是保护海洋，减少塑料垃圾。由此可推知，他是一个勇敢且有责任心的人。故选D。 C While scientists have many ideas, there is no single explanation for why humans yawn. Still, there is one thing experts know about yawns—they seem to be infectious! Have you ever caught a yawn from someone else? Most people have. According to one previous study, a person is six times more likely to yawn after seeing someone else do so. Experts have done many studies into why yawns seem to pass from person to person. As a result, experts have a few theories for the reason behind it. One possible explanation has to do with something called social mirroring. This is caused by mirror neurons (镜像神经元) in the brain. These cells help the brain notice useful behavior of others and then copy it. When one person sees another person yawning, his mirror neurons observe the action and interpret it as beneficial behavior. That may cause him to yawn, too. Another popular theory is that yawns are infectious thanks to social relationships. Humans are undoubtedly social creatures. They form friendships, start families, and live together in groups. That’s why many people mirror others, such as smiling when another person does so. Yawning maybe just another example of this. In fact, research has shown that people are most likely to catch a case of the yawns from another person if the two share a social relationship. The answer could even be that yawns aren’t truly infectious at all. Instead, people may yawn when they’e together simply because they‘re in the same environment. Experts say many things may cause yawning—including temperature and time. Possible causes may be experienced by anyone in the same general area. Whatever the explanation is, experts do know that infectious yawns aren’t limited to humans. One study found that lions in South Africa also caught each other’s yawns. 8. What kind of behavior may be copied by the mirror neurons? A. Unimportant but attractive. B. Useful and beneficial. C. Hard to understand. D. Easy to copy. 9 Whose yawns are people most likely to copy according to paragraph 3? A. The ones who yawn a lot. B. The ones who are friendly to them. C. The ones closely connected with them. D. The ones sharing the same interest with them. 10. What might the author continue talking about in the following paragraph? A. Some tips on yawning in public. B. A real explanation for infectious yawning. C. Other examples of animals yawning together. D. Further studies of infectious yawning in humans. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Why yawns are infectious. B. What causes people to yawn. C. Who yawns more than others. D. Whether yawns are infectious. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些关于打哈欠会传染的理论。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“One possible explanation has to do with something called social mirroring. This is caused by mirror neurons (镜像神经元) in the brain. These cells help the brain notice useful behavior of others and then copy it. When one person sees another person yawning, his mirror neurons observe the action and interpret it as beneficial behavior. That may cause him to yawn, too.(一种可能的解释与所谓的社交镜像有关。这是由大脑中的镜像神经元引起的。这些细胞帮助大脑注意到他人的有用行为，然后复制它。当一个人看到另一个人打哈欠时，他的镜像神经元会观察到这个动作，并将其解释为有益的行为。这也可能导致他打哈欠。)”可知，镜像神经元可以复制有用和有益的行为。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In fact, research has shown that people are most likely to catch a case of the yawns from another person if the two share a social relationship.(事实上，研究表明，如果一个人和另一个人有着共同的社会关系，那么他们最有可能被对方打哈欠)”可知，人们最容易被那些与他们关系密切的人的哈欠传染。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Experts say many things may cause yawning—including temperature and time. Possible causes may be experienced by anyone in the same general area. Whatever the explanation is, experts do know that infectious yawns aren’t limited to humans. One study found that lions in South Africa also caught each other’s yawns.(专家表示，许多因素可能会导致打哈欠，包括温度和时间。同一地区的任何人都可能经历可能的原因。无论解释是什么，专家们都知道传染性哈欠并不局限于人类。一项研究发现，南非的狮子也会互相打哈欠。)”可推知，在接下来的段落中，作者可能会继续谈论其它动物一起打哈欠的例子。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。结合全文及文章第一段“While scientists have many ideas, there is no single explanation for why humans yawn. Still, there is one thing experts know about yawns—they seem to be infectious! (虽然科学家们有很多想法，但人类为什么会打哈欠并没有单一的解释。不过，专家们对哈欠有一点了解——它们似乎具有传染性！)”可知，文章主要介绍了一些关于打哈欠会传染的理论，故A项Why yawns are infectious.(为什么打哈欠会传染)适合作为文章的标题。故选A项。 D An artificial intelligence (AI) trained on personal data covering the entire population of Denmark can predict people’s chances of dying more accurately than any existing model, even those used in the insurance industry. The researchers behind the technology say it could also have a positive impact on early prediction of social and health problems. Sune Lehmann Jorgensen at the Technical University of Denmark and his colleagues used the data covering various aspects of 6 million people from 2008 to 2020 from Denmark. They changed the data into words that could be used to train a large language model, the same technology that powers other AI apps. These models work by looking at a series of words and determining which word is statistically most likely to come next, based on vast amounts of examples. In a similar way, the researchers’ Life2vec model can look at a series of life events that form a person’s history and determine what is most likely to happen next. In experiments, Life2vec was trained on all but the last four years of the data, which was held back for testing. The researchers took data on a group of people aged from 35 to 65, half of whom died between 2016 and 2020, and asked Life2vec to predict who lived and who died. It was 11 percent more accurate than any existing AI model used to price life insurance policies in the finance industry. Jorgensen believes that the model has consumed enough data that it is likely to be able to shed light on a wide range of health and social topics. This means it could be used to predict health issues and catch them early, or by governments to reduce inequality. But he stresses that it could also be used by companies in a harmful way. “Clearly, our model should not be used by an insurance company, because the whole idea of insurance is that, by sharing the lack of knowledge of somebody who is going to be the unlucky person struck by some incidents or deaths, we can kind of share this burden,” says Jorgensen. 12. What makes Life2vec more powerful in forecasting death risks? A. It is trained on vast amounts of data. B. It goes through a large number of tests. C. It uses the same technology as other AI apps do. D. It is intended for the government to make policies. 13. What does the underlined phrase “shed light on” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Revise. B. Recognize. C. Resolve. D. Reveal. 14. Why should Life2vec be kept out of the hands of businesses? A. To remove social inequality. B. To guard public interests. C. To keep its technology a secret. D. To maintain the government’s authority. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Life2vec: Superior To Other AI Apps B. New AI Can Predict Risk Of Early Death C. Advanced Technology Addresses Social Problems D. Insurance Companies: Keep Away From Life2vec 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了丹麦科学家所研发的一款新的人工智能模型Life2vec，该模型可以更准确地预测人死亡的风险。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“An artificial intelligence (AI) trained on personal data covering the entire population of Denmark can predict people’s chances of dying more accurately than any existing model, even those used in the insurance industry. (一种人工智能（AI）经过涵盖整个丹麦人口的个人数据的训练，可以比任何现有的模型，甚至是保险业使用的模型，更准确地预测人们的死亡几率。)”以及第二段中“Sune Lehmann Jorgensen at the Technical University of Denmark and his colleagues used the data covering various aspects of 6 million people from 2008 to 2020 from Denmark. They changed the data into words that could be used to train a large language model, the same technology that powers other AI apps. (丹麦技术大学的苏恩·莱曼·约根森和他的同事使用了2008年至2020年丹麦600万人的各个方面的数据。他们将数据转换成可用于训练大型语言模型的单词，这与其他人工智能应用程序使用的技术相同。)”可知，Life2vec是基于丹麦600万人口从2008年至2020年各个方面的个人数据来进行训练的，这使得它在预测人死亡风险方面的能力更加强大。故选A。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线短语所在句子“Jorgensen believes that the model has consumed enough data that it is likely to be able to shed light on a wide range of health and social topics.(Jorgensen认为，该模型已经消耗了足够的数据，它很可能能够shed light on 广泛的健康和社会主题。)”中的“the model has consumed enough data that it is likely to be able to ”以及下文“This means it could be used to predict health issues and catch them early, or by governments to reduce inequality.(这意味着它可以用来预测健康问题并及早发现，或者被政府用来减少不平等。)”可知，这个模型使用了足够多的数据，能够帮助人们发现健康、社会等各方面存在的问题，划线短语shed light on在句中表达的意思为“揭露，使（问题）被发现”与reveal表达的意思一致。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But he stresses that it could also be used by companies in a harmful way. “Clearly, our model should not be used by an insurance company, because the whole idea of insurance is that, by sharing the lack of knowledge of somebody who is going to be the unlucky person struck by some incidents or deaths, we can kind of share this burden,” says Jorgensen.(但他强调，它也可能被公司以有害的方式使用。Jorgensen说：“很明显，我们的模型不应该被保险公司使用，因为保险的整个理念是，通过共担缺乏对那些将成为某些事件或死亡的不幸者的了解，我们可以分担这种负担”)”可知，Jorgensen强调Life2vec也可能被公司以有害的方式使用，保险的本质在于分担风险，如果保险公司利用这个模型预测谁会遭遇不幸事件或死亡就违背了保险互助的理念；Jorgensen他以保险公司为例说明这些公司会为了自己的利益而牺牲公众的利益；由此可知，Life2vec不应该为商业所用是为了保护公众的利益。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“An artificial intelligence (AI) trained on personal data covering the entire population of Denmark can predict people’s chances of dying more accurately than any existing model, even those used in the insurance industry. The researchers behind the technology say it could also have a positive impact on early prediction of social and health problems.(一种人工智能(AI)经过涵盖整个丹麦人口的个人数据的训练，可以比任何现有的模型，甚至是保险业使用的模型，更准确地预测人们的死亡几率。这项技术的研究人员表示，它还可以对社会和健康问题的早期预测产生积极影响。)”以及下文内容可知，文章主要介绍了丹麦科学家所研发的一款新的人工智能模型Life2vec，它能够更准确地预测人的死亡风险，还可以对社会和健康问题的早期预测产生积极影响；B选项“New AI Can Predict Risk Of Early Death(新的人工智能可以预测过早死亡的风险)”能够概括文章主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选B。 第二节 (共5 小题；每小题3分，满分15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。 Nothing makes or breaks a camping trip more than how comfortable you are at night, and keeping warm is a priority in most seasons. ____16____ .

(轻便的睡袋通常只适合夏季露营)”介绍了轻便睡袋只适合夏季露营，G项“Thicker sleeping bags may be more comfortable in winter camping(冬季露营时，厚一点的睡袋可能会更舒服)”承接上文，说明冬季露营需要厚一点的睡袋，引出下文“Winter-weight sleeping bags are often very thick or heavy and are usually coly appropriate if you’re going camping in temperatures that drop below freezing overnight.(冬季睡袋通常很厚或很重，如果你要在气温低于冰点的地方过夜，那么睡袋通常很适合)”对冬季睡袋的介绍，上下文语意连贯。故选G项。 【19题详解】 设空句是段首小标题。根据下文“Whatever the season, you’re likely to get sweaty when walking in the daytime. Aside from it feeling unpleasant to sleep in clothes that are dirty and sweaty, it’s also potentially dangerous to go to bed wearing damp clothes. Keep a separate set of sleeping clothes when you’re backpacking so that you can protect yourself from getting wet at all costs.(无论什么季节，你都可能在白天走路时出汗。除了穿着脏兮兮、汗津津衣服睡觉会让人不舒服之外，穿着潮湿的衣服睡觉也有潜在的危险。当你背包旅行时，准备一套单独的睡衣，无论如何，这样你就可以保持干燥)”可知，本段主要建议要单独带的睡衣。故A项“Wear different night clothes(换睡衣)”是本段最佳小标题。故选A项。 【20题详解】 上文“Separating your tent with carpets or mats is a good way of keeping your tent warm.(用地毯或垫子把帐篷隔开是保持帐篷温暖的好方法)”提出用地毯或垫子把帐篷隔开，E项“These can be laid on the floor or beneath your sleeping bag(这些可以放在地上或睡袋下面)”承接上文，介绍地毯或垫子的用法，句中“These”指代上文中“carpets or mats”。故选E项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15 小题；每小题2分，满分 30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。 A taxi driver specially gave a free ride to a mother and her little boy Tyler who had a sudden attack of an illness on the road.18 years later, a touching ____21____ followed. 66-year-old Carl booked a taxi to the hospital.

Roy was the first to support him. Five of them decided to organize a long-distance cycle ride. According to the original plan, they departed from the riverbank ferry at 7 am on Tuesday on time. However, on Monday night, there was a rainstorm in this area, which led to flooding. Fortunately, the weather cleared up soon and it wouldn’t affect their arrangements. It was 8:30, but the other three didn’t arrive. David and Roy were anxiously waiting. Finally, the three turned up exhausted. “We had to come round a long way,” said Robert. “The old bridge over the stream had collapsed.” “And that means we had to ride an extra quarter of a mile and use the other bridge,” added Henry. “The stream must be nearly five feet deep after all this rain.” “Don’t worry.” said David. “The Town Council will soon build another one.” “Oh no,” replied Henry quickly. “My father has asked about that. There isn’t enough money this year.” The boys were silent. That meant that their original plan had to be readjusted. “I wonder who built that old bridge,” said Robert. “It was only a few tree trunks and logs held together with some nails.” Then an idea struck him. “Do you think we could rebuild it?” “You know…” David paused. “I think we can do it, if we plan it properly and can borrow the tools.” The boys started to consider the idea seriously. Sammy told them that his elder brother worked in the Public Works Department and could probably make a plan for them. Their greatest problem was to find enough logs. The next day the boys visited nearly every house. In the evening, they gathered. “I must tell you this” David burst out. “Mr. Robinson, our mayor, has promised to supply logs as long as we do the work and finish it within a month. He thanked us for our volunteer behavior and instructed us to pay attention to safety.” 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。 Mr. Robinson kept his promise and sent enough logs. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Nearby residents decided on an opening ceremony for the new bridge. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Mr. Robinson kept his promise and sent enough logs. As the materials arrived, the boys felt a surge of excitement mixed with a hint of nervousness. They knew the task ahead would be challenging, but they were determined to see it through. With the support of their families and the encouragement of the community, they set out to rebuild the bridge, their youthful energy driving them forward despite any obstacles that lay ahead. They worked tirelessly, planning, measuring, and constructing. Finally, the bridge was completed. Nearby residents decided on an opening ceremony for the new bridge. They gathered together, along with Mr. Robinson and other town officials, to celebrate the boys’ achievement. With speeches expressing gratitude and admiration, the community praised the boys for their initiative and hard work. The boys stood proudly, knowing they had made a lasting impact on their community and forged bonds that would endure for years to come. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述在暑假来临之际，David和他的朋友们计划组织一次长途自行车骑行。然而，由于暴雨导致的洪水，他们不得不改变原计划。他们发现一座旧桥已经坍塌，而政府今年没有足够的资金重建。于是，他们决定自己重建桥梁。经过努力，他们成功地从市长那里获得了木材供应。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“罗宾逊先生信守诺言，送来了足够的原木。”可知，第一段可描写收到原木后，孩子们感到既兴奋又紧张，接着全身心地投入到木桥的修建中，桥终于完成了。 ②由第二段首句内容“附近居民决定举行新桥的开通仪式。”可知，第二段可描写社区对孩子们的行为表达了感谢，孩子们为自己的成就而感到自豪。 2.续写线索：收到原木感到兴奋又紧张——开始全力以赴建桥——木桥完工——举行开通仪式——受到称赞和感谢——为自己的成就而感到自豪 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①完成：complete/accomplish ②聚集在一起：gather together/get together ③持续：endure/last 情绪类 ①感激：gratitude/gratefulness ②自豪地：proudly/with pride 【点睛】[高分句型1] As the materials arrived, the boys felt a surge of excitement mixed with a hint of nervousness.(运用了as引导时间状语从句) [高分句型2] They knew the task ahead would be challenging, but they were determined to see it through.(运用了省略that的宾语从句) [高分句型3] The boys stood proudly, knowing they had made a lasting impact on their community and forged bonds that would endure for years to come.(运用了省略that的宾语从句和关系代词that引导的限制性定语从句) 1—5 CABAB 6—10 CBABA 11—15 BCACC 16—20 CABBC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
