A program at Full ham Football Club in London is working with a group of children who haven’t always been able to be part of a team. What’s happening at Fullham? Once a week for the last three years, trainers at Full ham have been working with a group children. Each week, the children meet up for a training session which concentrates on the basic skills of football — passing, control, teamwork. Occasionally, they play matches against other teams. There are training sessions like this at Premier League clubs but what makes this Full ham team special is that the children in this group all have Down’s syndrome. The Full ham Badgers, as the team is known, are the first Down’s syndrome team in the country. What is Down’s syndrome? Down’s syndrome affects about one in a thousand people and causes learning difficulties. People with Down’s syndrome a so sometimes have problems taking part in physical activities. Because of this，and because they look different, children with Down’s syndrome haven’t always had the chance to do what other children do and join in with team sports. Making opportunities. The Fullham project lets the young people train regularly and get the chance to improve their self-confidence as part of the team. It’s important to show that football is not only about winning cups and scoring goals. It can also help break down the barriers that these youngsters experience in everyday life. Support from the players. Top Full ham players have also been training with the children. Footballers such as the Norwegian international Erik Nevland have lent support to the team. After working with the youngsters in a penalty shoot-out, Erik Nevland said, “I love doing this. It’s good to come out in the community and let people see who you really are.” 1. What do we know about the children at Full ham? A. They meet up for a training session once a week. B. They focus on practicing advanced football skills. C. They often play matches with top footballers. D. They don’t have chances to play football at all. 2. Why is the Full ham team unique? A. It has been built for more than three years. B. It aims to train children to be professionals. C. It is specially for children with Down’s syndrome. D. It makes no difference to children’s mental health. 3. What is the author’s purpose of writing this text? A. To give children advice on playing football. B. To call on children to do more sports. C. To show people’s opinion about Full ham. D. To introduce a program at Full ham Football Club. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了Full ham足球俱乐部项目。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Each week, the children meet up for a training session which concentrates on the basic skills of football—passing, control, teamwork.(每个星期，孩子们聚在一起进行训练，重点是足球的基本技巧——传球、控制、团队合作)”可知，在Full ham的孩子每周开一次训练课。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“There are training sessions like this at Premier League clubs but what makes this Full ham team special is that the children in this group all have Down’s syndrome.(英超俱乐部也有这样的训练课程，但Full ham的特别之处在于，这组孩子都患有唐氏综合症)”可知，Full ham团队是独一无二的因为这是专门为患有唐氏综合症的儿童准备的。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“We can tall be professional footballers but one thing that makes football great is that everyone can play. A program at Full ham Football Club in London is working with a group of children who haven’t always been able to be part of a team.(我们可以成为职业足球运动员，但足球之所以伟大，是因为每个人都能踢。伦敦Full ham足球俱乐部的一个项目正在与一群一直无法成为团队一员的孩子们合作)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍Full ham足球俱乐部项目。故选D。 B When Stanford University student Ellen Xu, now 18, was a five-year-old in San Diego, California, she vividly recalls her parents rushing her little sister to the hospital. Three-year-old Kate had fallen seriously ill; she had a fever, reddened eyes, a rash (皮疹) and some swelling in her hands and tongue. At first the puzzled doctors thoughts he had the flu, but when her condition didn’t improve, the Xus returned to the emergency room, where a doctor by chance had similar experience with a serious inflammatory (炎症) reaction in the blood vessels known as Kawasaki disease. Though rare, it’s the leading cause of acquired heart disease in babies and young children, and its cause remains somewhat mysterious. The doctor knew how to treat it and eventually Kate shook off the illness without suffering damage to her heart. Xu remembers being curious about her sister’s dramatic condition and was amazed that the grown-ups couldn’t answer her questions about why it was so hard to detect. “In my mind, it was this mystery,” she says. “It was a puzzle I wanted to solve. A decade later, wanting to enter a high school science fair, she had an idea: “What if we had a doctor in our pocket?” So she created just that: Using AI, Xu designed an algorithm (算法) that uses visual data to diagnose Kawasaki disease based on five physical symptoms. The technology works the same way as apps that can identify birds and plants with photos you’ve taken on your cellphone. Worried parents can upload a photo that they have taken of their child, and the technology will scan the image for symptoms of Kawasaki disease, which often have a strong visual element, such as a rash or a swollen tongue. Xu’s invention has been used as a web app on the Kawasaki Disease Foundation’s website. “The technology could also be developed for recognizing auto-immune and rheumatological diseases,” she says. “It means a lot to me. I want to use AI to help people live happier and healthier lives.” Xu says. 4. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. The doctors had no difficulty recognizing Kate’s illness. B. Kate suffered from a common disease among children. C. Kawasaki disease is the only cause of acquired heart disease. D. The cause of Kawasaki disease is not quite known yet. 5. What kind of person is Ellen Xu? A. Curious and creative. B. Caring and cheerful. C. Ambitious and outgoing D. Humorous and 1g generous. 6 What is Paragraph 4 mainly talking about? A. The benefits of Xu’s algorithm B. The symptoms of Kawasaki disease. C. The worries that most parents have. D. The way Xu’s invention works. 7. What message does Ellen Xu’s story convey? A. Opportunity knocks but once. B. Curiosity can make a difference. C. Failure is the mother of success. D. God helps those who help themselves. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了女孩Ellen小时候见到医生们一开始没有正确诊断出妹妹Kate生的病，后来Kate遇到一名碰巧有过相似经历的医生，才得到有效的治疗，因对妹妹病情的好奇，以及医生无法检查出这种罕见病的惊讶，Ellen在十年后利用人工智能技术创造了一个程序，可以根据症状检测疾病，帮助人们快速获得诊断，改善健康状况，她的发明已被应用于网页应用程序中，她希望通过人工智能帮助更多人过上更快乐、更健康的生活。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Though rare, it’s the leading cause of acquired heart disease in babies and young children, and its cause remains somewhat mysterious.(虽然罕见，但它是婴儿和幼儿获得性心脏病的主要原因，其原因仍然有些神秘)”可知，川崎病的病因尚不清楚。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Xu remembers being curious about her sister’s dramatic condition and was amazed that the grown-ups couldn’t answer her questions about why it was so hard to detect.(Xu记得当时她对妹妹的病情很好奇，并惊讶于大人们无法回答她为什么很难发现的问题)”以及“A decade later, wanting to enter a high school science fair, she had an idea: “What if we had a doctor in our pocket?” So she created just that: Using AI, Xu designed an algorithm (算法) that uses visual data to diagnose Kawasaki disease based on five physical symptoms.(十年后，她想参加一个高中科学博览会，她有了一个想法：“如果我们口袋里有一个医生会怎么样？”因此，她创造了这样的东西：利用人工智能，Xu设计了一种算法，利用视觉数据根据五种身体症状诊断川崎病)”可知，Ellen Xu好奇心强，有创造力。故选A。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“The technology works the same way as apps that can identify birds and plants with photos you’ve taken on your cellphone. Worried parents can upload a photo that they have taken of their child, and the technology will scan the image for symptoms of Kawasaki disease, which often have a strong visual element, such as a rash or a swollen tongue.(这项技术的工作原理与通过手机拍摄的照片识别鸟类和植物的应用程序相同。担心的父母可以上传他们为孩子拍摄的照片，该技术将扫描图像，寻找川崎病的症状，这些症状通常具有强烈的视觉元素，如皮疹或舌头肿胀)”可知，第四段主要介绍Xu的发明的工作方式。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“A decade later, wanting to enter a high school science fair, she had an idea: “What if we had a doctor in our pocket?” So she created just that: Using AI, Xu designed an algorithm (算法) that uses visual data to diagnose Kawasaki disease based on five physical symptoms.(十年后，她想参加一个高中科学博览会，她有了一个想法：“如果我们口袋里有一个医生会怎么样？”因此，她创造了这样的东西：利用人工智能，徐设计了一种算法，利用视觉数据根据五种身体症状诊断川崎病)”结合文章讲述了女孩Ellen小时候见到医生们一开始没有正确诊断出妹妹Kate生的病，后来Kate遇到一名碰巧有过相似经历的医生，才得到有效的治疗，因对妹妹病情的好奇，以及医生无法检查出这种罕见病的惊讶，Ellen在十年后利用人工智能技术创造了一个程序，可以根据症状检测疾病，帮助人们快速获得诊断，改善健康状况，她的发明已被应用于网页应用程序中，她希望通过人工智能帮助更多人过上更快乐、更健康的生活。可知，Ellen Xu的故事说明了好奇心可以带来不同。故选B。 C Mountaineering has always been favored by adventure seekers, which also brings about people’s concern about environmental problems and safety. Luckily, as the 2024 Himalayan mountaineering season gets underway, another high-altitude project is in the works: removing tons of trash from Mount Everest. According to the Nepali army, the Mountain Cleanup Campaign collected 110 tons of waste between 2019, when the program started, and 2023. The army, which conducts the cleanup initiative partnership with the multinational brand Unilever, will head up the campaign again this year. Twelve members of the military, supported by eighteen Sherpas, will arrive at Everest Base Camp on April 14 to begin the work. In addition to removing an estimated 10 tons of garbage, the army said in a state me that they plan to bring five dead bodies off of the mountain. These bodies are of climbers who died while attempting to summit the world’s highest peak. In 2023, 12 climbers were confirmed to have died on Everest, additional five still officially unaccounted for. Currently, the majority of those who try to climb the 8,849-meter (29, 032-foot) Himalayan peak do so via Nepal. Last year, the Nepali government gave out a record-high 478 Everest hiking permits. However, that is not the total number of people who will be on the mountain, as Sherpa guides, support staffers and others are present with climbing groups. As a result overcrowding and trash have been two of the biggest problems plaguing Everest in recent years. One of the biggest environmental issues has been human waste. The 2024 climbing season will be the first to require all climbers to use government-distributed poop hags and bring their waste back down with them from the higher mountain camps. “Each person produces 250 grams of waste a day and they will spend two weeks on the higher camps for the summit push,” Diwas Pokhrel, first vice president of Everest Summiteers Association, told CNN last month. In addition, 2024 will be the first time that all Everest climbers are issued tracking chips, which can aid in search and rescue missions. 8. What does the author say about Mountain Cleanup Campaign? A. It was set up at least 10 years ago by Sherpas. B. Its main aim is to clear rubbish on Everest C. The Nepali army will lead it for the first time. D. Altogether 30 people will conduct the cleanup. 9. What does the underlined word plaguing in Para. 3 mean? A. Bothering B. Delighting. C. Amazing. D. Destroying. 10. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Government attaches little importance to environmental protection B. Mountaineering at Everest will be more environmentally friendly. C. More human waste will be left on Everest by rescue members. D. More people will show interest in doing mountaineering at Everest. 11. Where is the passage probably taken from? A. An academic article. B. A tourist guideline. C. A survey report. D. An environmental article. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了近年来清除珠穆朗玛峰垃圾所采取的措施。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Luckily, as the 2024 Himalayan mountaineering season gets underway, another high-altitude project is in the works: removing tons of trash from Mount Everest. (幸运的是，随着2024年喜马拉雅登山季节的到来，另一个高海拔项目正在进行中：从珠穆朗玛峰上清除成吨的垃圾。)”和第二段中“According to the Nepali army, the Mountain Cleanup Campaign collected 110 tons of waste between 2019, when the program started, and 2023. (据尼泊尔军方称，从2019年该计划开始到2023年，山区清理运动收集了110吨废物。)”可知，山区清理运动的主要目的是清理珠峰上的垃圾。故选B项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。第三段中划线词前文“As a result overcrowding and trash have been two of the biggest problems(因此，过度拥挤和垃圾一直是最大的两个问题)”说明珠峰存在着两大问题有待解决，从而推知“plaguing Everest in recent years (近年来plaguing珠穆朗玛峰)”其中划线部分意思是“给（珠峰）造成麻烦，困扰着（珠峰）”。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Luckily, as the 2024 Himalayan mountaineering season gets underway, another high-altitude project is in the works: removing tons of trash from Mount Everest. (幸运的是，随着2024年喜马拉雅登山季节的到来，另一个高海拔项目正在进行中：从珠穆朗玛峰上清除成吨的垃圾。)”可以推知，在珠穆朗玛峰登山将会更加环保。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，根据第一段中“Mountaineering has always been favored by adventure seekers, which also brings about people’s concern about environmental problems and safety. (登山运动一直受到探险爱好者青睐，同时也带来了人们对环境问题和安全问题的关注。)”可知，本文主要和登山运动带来的环境安全问题有关，应该取自一篇环境文章。故选D项。 D Doctors have transplanted a pig kidney (肾) into a 62-year-oldman living with end-stage kidney disease. The patient Richard Slayman, was recovering well and was expected to be discharged from the hospital within days. Strictly speaking, this isn’t the first ever pig-to-human kidney transplant. The procedure has been performed five times in the past, all in people who were declared brain-dead and kept on life support. The most recent of those took place in July 2023 by Robert Montgomery at NYU Langone Health and his workmates. However, Slayman’s operation is the first time that a pig kidney has been transplanted into a living human. Thanks to the efforts by thousands of scientists and physicians over several decades the operation is a great success, which makes it a significant milestone in the field of the transfer of animal organs to humans. Slayman has type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and kidney disease. He had previously received a human kidney from a donor in December 2018. However, the organs showed signs of failure about five years later. He started dialysis (透析) in May last year, but experienced complications, requiring visits to the hospital every two weeks. The organ was provided by a company called e Genesis, which raises pigs genetically engineered to carry certain human genes and to lack a particular set of pig genes that are harmful to humans. These genetic changes reduce the possibility of transplant rejection, when the immune system attacks the organ and causes it to fail. Slayman is also receiving a cocktail of immune-suppressing drugs to further lower the risk. So far, there is no sign of rejection and Slayman is able to walk on his own. More than 100,000 people in the US are waiting for an organ transplant, 17 of whom die each day. The US Food and Drug Administration authorized the experimental transplant for Slayman due to a lack of other treatment choices. “Our hope is that this transplant approach will offer a lifeline to millions of patients worldwide who are suffering from kidney failure.” said Tatsuo Kawai at Massachusetts General Hospital in a statement. 12. Why is the pig kidney transplant considered a milestone? A. No animal-to-human organ transplant has been done before. B. It is the result of many scientists and physicians’ joint efforts. C. It is the first successful pig kidney transplant into a human. D. It has been performed in people who are declared brain-dead. 13. What can we know from the passage? A. Slayman has received kidney transplant only once. B. Pigs used for transplant carry no human genes. C. Many people in need of organ transplant. D. Slayman needn’t take any drugs after the transplant. 14. What is Tatsuo Kawai’s attitude towards pig kidney transplant? A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful. C. Critical D. Uninterested 15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. Why is Kidney Transplant Important B. Human Receives Pig Kidney C. The Future of Kidney Transplant D. A Milestone in Human History 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了美国第一例猪肾移植取得成功，被认为是一个里程碑。文章介绍此次移植的一些背景知识。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Strictly speaking, this isn’t the first ever pig-to-human kidney transplant. The procedure has been performed five times in the past, all in people who were declared brain-dead and kept on life support. (严格来说，这并不是首例猪到人的肾脏移植手术。这种手术在过去已经进行了五次，所有的病人都被宣布脑死亡，并继续维持生命)”以及“Thanks to the efforts by thousands of scientists and physicians over several decades the operation is a great success, which makes it a significant milestone in the field of the transfer of animal organs to humans.(经过数千名科学家和医生几十年的努力，这次手术取得了巨大成功，成为动物器官移植领域的一个重要里程碑)”可知，猪肾移植被认为是一个里程碑因为这是第一次成功的猪肾移植到人身上。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“More than 100,000 people in the US are waiting for an organ transplant, 17 of whom die each day.(美国有超过10万人在等待器官移植，其中每天有17人死亡)”可知，许多人需要器官移植。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Our hope is that this transplant approach will offer a lifeline to millions of patients worldwide who are suffering from kidney failure.” said Tatsuo Kawai at Massachusetts General Hospital in a statement.(“我们希望这种移植方法将为全世界数百万患有肾衰竭的患者提供一条生命线。”马萨诸塞州总医院的Tatsuo Kawai在一份声明中说)”可知，Tatsuo Kawai对猪肾移植的态度是乐观。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Doctors have transplanted a pig kidney (肾) into a 62-year-oldman living with end-stage kidney disease. The patient Richard Slayman, was recovering well and was expected to be discharged from the hospital within days.(医生将猪肾脏移植到一名62岁的终末期肾病患者体内。病人理查德·斯雷曼恢复良好，预计几天内就能出院)”结合文章主要说明了美国第一例猪肾移植取得成功，被认为是一个里程碑。文章介绍此次移植的一些背景知识。可知，B选项“人接受猪肾”最符合文章标题。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分1.5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。选项中有两项为多选项。 Reading is a practice that has been encouraged ever since we were kids.

A caring 17-year-old girl, Lauren Schroeder, was inspired to help bring healthy food to needy families in her community. The story began three years ago and it greatly influenced her family and community members. Coming from a farming family, Lauren Schroeder had some familiarity with agriculture, and had helped raise rabbits and lambs, but had never tried planting vegetables at scale, though the Schroeder s planted soybeans and corn each year on their 150-acre farm. Lauren Schroeder was volunteering at a community food bank at the age of 14. As she filled bags with donated groceries, she felt something was missing: fresh vegetables. Though there was plenty of food coming in can sandboxes, she didn’t see anything fresh and healthy to give to families in need. She thought it would be great to change that. She came up with a plan to grow and donate homegrown produce. Inspired to make a change, this kindhearted teen then told her parents that she wanted to start a garden on part of their family farm in Dixon, Lowa, in order to supply local families in need with fresh produce including lettuce, carrots, tomatoes and so on, so that people could get the nutrition they needed. Although proud of their daughter’s vision, and keen to support her project, the parents kindly reminded her that her plan was no walk in the park and made her aware of how much work it would take. Still the teenager was up for the challenge. Finally, her parents decided to let Lauren have a try and suggested she start from planting half an acre of land for the first year. 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。 Paragraph 1: Having gained her parents’ permission this determined young girl took action at once. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Lauren’s hard work finally paid off and she harvested her first crops. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Having gained her parents’ permission, this determined young girl took action at once. Lauren researched plants online, checking which species needed more shade, how much water was required and about the best time to harvest each crop. She also sought knowledge to cover seeds and gardening supplies. And most importantly, Lauren didn’t shy away from hard work and significant time investment. During Lowa’s hot and dry summers, she had to water her crops by hand from around two to three hours daily. She also checked daily for weeds, and bent down to pick her green bean crop, the most challenging vegetable to harvest in her opinion. Lauren’s hard work finally paid off and she harvested her first crops. She donated all her crops to the food bank in her community. Encouraged to continue and expand her efforts, Lauren doubled the size of her garden to an acre, adding more plant varieties. She won the admiration of her community. People were grateful that Lauren’s donation gave them a chance to enjoy the food they used to grow themselves. Explaining her motivation, Lauren said, “I want to have something that will impact people. Many people help you out, but it makes more difference when you help people out. That’s what makes me most happy.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了17岁女孩Lauren Schroeder受到启发，决定在家庭农场种植蔬菜，为社区贫困家庭提供健康食品。14岁时，Lauren在食品银行做志愿者，她意识到捐赠食品中缺乏新鲜蔬菜，因此她计划种植并捐赠自产农产品。尽管父母为她的远见卓识感到自豪，热心支持她的项目，但仍提醒她这个计划不容易，需要付出大量努力。即便如此，Lauren决定迎接挑战。父母决定让Lauren试一试，并建议她从半英亩土地开始尝试。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“得到父母的允许后，这个坚定的年轻女孩立即采取了行动。”可知，第一段可描写Lauren认真学习种植农作物的知识，以及她辛勤地在土地上劳作。 ②由第二段首句内容“Lauren的辛勤劳动终于得到了回报，她收获了第一批农作物。”可知，第二段可描写Lauren捐赠自己的农作物，扩大种植规模，得到大家的认可，以及她本人对做这件事的感受。 2. 续写线索：得到父母许可——Lauren采取行动——Lauren学习知识——Lauren辛勤劳作——Lauren收获第一批农作物——Lauren捐赠农作物，扩大种植——Lauren感受 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①寻找：seek/look for/search for ②得到：win/obtain/gain ③解释：explain/clarify ④影响：impact/affect/influence 情绪类 ①感激的：grateful/thankful/appreciative ②高兴的：happy/delighted/glad 【点睛】[高分句型1] Lauren researched plants online, checking which species needed more shade, how much water was required and about the best time to harvest each crop.

A program at Full ham Football Club in London is working with a group of children who haven’t always been able to be part of a team. What’s happening at Fullham? Once a week for the last three years, trainers at Full ham have been working with a group children. Each week, the children meet up for a training session which concentrates on the basic skills of football — passing, control, teamwork. Occasionally, they play matches against other teams. There are training sessions like this at Premier League clubs but what makes this Full ham team special is that the children in this group all have Down’s syndrome. The Full ham Badgers, as the team is known, are the first Down’s syndrome team in the country. What is Down’s syndrome? Down’s syndrome affects about one in a thousand people and causes learning difficulties. People with Down’s syndrome a so sometimes have problems taking part in physical activities. Because of this，and because they look different, children with Down’s syndrome haven’t always had the chance to do what other children do and join in with team sports. Making opportunities. The Fullham project lets the young people train regularly and get the chance to improve their self-confidence as part of the team. It’s important to show that football is not only about winning cups and scoring goals. It can also help break down the barriers that these youngsters experience in everyday life. Support from the players. Top Full ham players have also been training with the children. Footballers such as the Norwegian international Erik Nevland have lent support to the team. After working with the youngsters in a penalty shoot-out, Erik Nevland said, “I love doing this. It’s good to come out in the community and let people see who you really are.” 1. What do we know about the children at Full ham? A. They meet up for a training session once a week. B. They focus on practicing advanced football skills. C. They often play matches with top footballers. D. They don’t have chances to play football at all. 2. Why is the Full ham team unique? A. It has been built for more than three years. B. It aims to train children to be professionals. C. It is specially for children with Down’s syndrome. D. It makes no difference to children’s mental health. 3 What is the author’s purpose of writing this text? A. To give children advice on playing football. B. To call on children to do more sports. C. To show people’s opinion about Full ham. D. To introduce a program at Full ham Football Club. B When Stanford University student Ellen Xu, now 18, was a five-year-old in San Diego, California, she vividly recalls her parents rushing her little sister to the hospital. Three-year-old Kate had fallen seriously ill; she had a fever, reddened eyes, a rash (皮疹) and some swelling in her hands and tongue. At first the puzzled doctors thoughts he had the flu, but when her condition didn’t improve, the Xus returned to the emergency room, where a doctor by chance had similar experience with a serious inflammatory (炎症) reaction in the blood vessels known as Kawasaki disease. Though rare, it’s the leading cause of acquired heart disease in babies and young children, and its cause remains somewhat mysterious. The doctor knew how to treat it and eventually Kate shook off the illness without suffering damage to her heart. Xu remembers being curious about her sister’s dramatic condition and was amazed that the grown-ups couldn’t answer her questions about why it was so hard to detect. “In my mind, it was this mystery,” she says. “It was a puzzle I wanted to solve. A decade later, wanting to enter a high school science fair, she had an idea: “What if we had a doctor in our pocket?” So she created just that: Using AI, Xu designed an algorithm (算法) that uses visual data to diagnose Kawasaki disease based on five physical symptoms. The technology works the same way as apps that can identify birds and plants with photos you’ve taken on your cellphone. Worried parents can upload a photo that they have taken of their child, and the technology will scan the image for symptoms of Kawasaki disease, which often have a strong visual element, such as a rash or a swollen tongue. Xu’s invention has been used as a web app on the Kawasaki Disease Foundation’s website. “The technology could also be developed for recognizing auto-immune and rheumatological diseases,” she says. “It means a lot to me. I want to use AI to help people live happier and healthier lives.” Xu says. 4. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. The doctors had no difficulty recognizing Kate’s illness. B. Kate suffered from a common disease among children. C. Kawasaki disease is the only cause of acquired heart disease. D. The cause of Kawasaki disease is not quite known yet. 5. What kind of person is Ellen Xu? A Curious and creative. B. Caring and cheerful. C. Ambitious and outgoing D. Humorous and 1g generous. 6. What is Paragraph 4 mainly talking about? A. The benefits of Xu’s algorithm B. The symptoms of Kawasaki disease. C. The worries that most parents have. D. The way Xu’s invention works. 7. What message does Ellen Xu’s story convey? A. Opportunity knocks but once. B. Curiosity can make a difference. C. Failure is the mother of success. D. God helps those who help themselves. C Mountaineering has always been favored by adventure seekers, which also brings about people’s concern about environmental problems and safety. Luckily, as the 2024 Himalayan mountaineering season gets underway, another high-altitude project is in the works: removing tons of trash from Mount Everest. According to the Nepali army, the Mountain Cleanup Campaign collected 110 tons of waste between 2019, when the program started, and 2023. The army, which conducts the cleanup initiative partnership with the multinational brand Unilever, will head up the campaign again this year. Twelve members of the military, supported by eighteen Sherpas, will arrive at Everest Base Camp on April 14 to begin the work. In addition to removing an estimated 10 tons of garbage, the army said in a state me that they plan to bring five dead bodies off of the mountain. These bodies are of climbers who died while attempting to summit the world’s highest peak. In 2023, 12 climbers were confirmed to have died on Everest, additional five still officially unaccounted for. Currently, the majority of those who try to climb the 8,849-meter (29, 032-foot) Himalayan peak do so via Nepal. Last year, the Nepali government gave out a record-high 478 Everest hiking permits. However, that is not the total number of people who will be on the mountain, as Sherpa guides, support staffers and others are present with climbing groups. As a result overcrowding and trash have been two of the biggest problems plaguing Everest in recent years. One of the biggest environmental issues has been human waste. The 2024 climbing season will be the first to require all climbers to use government-distributed poop hags and bring their waste back down with them from the higher mountain camps. “Each person produces 250 grams of waste a day and they will spend two weeks on the higher camps for the summit push,” Diwas Pokhrel, first vice president of Everest Summiteers Association, told CNN last month. In addition, 2024 will be the first time that all Everest climbers are issued tracking chips, which can aid in search and rescue missions. 8. What does the author say about Mountain Cleanup Campaign? A. It was set up at least 10 years ago by Sherpas. B. Its main aim is to clear rubbish on Everest C. The Nepali army will lead it for the first time. D. Altogether 30 people will conduct the cleanup. 9. What does the underlined word plaguing in Para. 3 mean? A. Bothering B. Delighting. C. Amazing. D. Destroying. 10. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Government attaches little importance to environmental protection B. Mountaineering at Everest will be more environmentally friendly. C. More human waste will be left on Everest by rescue members. D. More people will show interest in doing mountaineering at Everest. 11. Where is the passage probably taken from? A. An academic article. B. A tourist guideline. C. A survey report. D. An environmental article. D Doctors have transplanted a pig kidney (肾) into a 62-year-oldman living with end-stage kidney disease. The patient Richard Slayman, was recovering well and was expected to be discharged from the hospital within days. Strictly speaking, this isn’t the first ever pig-to-human kidney transplant. The procedure has been performed five times in the past, all in people who were declared brain-dead and kept on life support. The most recent of those took place in July 2023 by Robert Montgomery at NYU Langone Health and his workmates. However, Slayman’s operation is the first time that a pig kidney has been transplanted into a living human. Thanks to the efforts by thousands of scientists and physicians over several decades the operation is a great success, which makes it a significant milestone in the field of the transfer of animal organs to humans. Slayman has type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and kidney disease. He had previously received a human kidney from a donor in December 2018. However, the organs showed signs of failure about five years later. He started dialysis (透析) in May last year, but experienced complications, requiring visits to the hospital every two weeks. The organ was provided by a company called e Genesis, which raises pigs genetically engineered to carry certain human genes and to lack a particular set of pig genes that are harmful to humans. These genetic changes reduce the possibility of transplant rejection, when the immune system attacks the organ and causes it to fail. Slayman is also receiving a cocktail of immune-suppressing drugs to further lower the risk. So far, there is no sign of rejection and Slayman is able to walk on his own.

A caring 17-year-old girl, Lauren Schroeder, was inspired to help bring healthy food to needy families in her community. The story began three years ago and it greatly influenced her family and community members. Coming from a farming family, Lauren Schroeder had some familiarity with agriculture, and had helped raise rabbits and lambs, but had never tried planting vegetables at scale, though the Schroeder s planted soybeans and corn each year on their 150-acre farm. Lauren Schroeder was volunteering at a community food bank at the age of 14. As she filled bags with donated groceries, she felt something was missing: fresh vegetables. Though there was plenty of food coming in can sandboxes, she didn’t see anything fresh and healthy to give to families in need. She thought it would be great to change that. She came up with a plan to grow and donate homegrown produce. Inspired to make a change, this kindhearted teen then told her parents that she wanted to start a garden on part of their family farm in Dixon, Lowa, in order to supply local families in need with fresh produce including lettuce, carrots, tomatoes and so on, so that people could get the nutrition they needed. Although proud of their daughter’s vision, and keen to support her project, the parents kindly reminded her that her plan was no walk in the park and made her aware of how much work it would take. Still the teenager was up for the challenge. Finally, her parents decided to let Lauren have a try and suggested she start from planting half an acre of land for the first year. 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。 Paragraph 1: Having gained her parents’ permission, this determined young girl took action at once. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Lauren’s hard work finally paid off and she harvested her first crops. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-20C C A B C A A A C BA C BC B C B B BA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
