Re-entering the galleries B Now, since it is Christmastime and thus the season of forgiveness, I must admit, I have a “dirty” little secret. And you all probably have one too. I am a re-gifter. I actually have a closet (橱柜) that is just for my gifts to “Re”! Don’t judge me. Re-gifting is an established Southern tradition. Waste not want not, right? Most of you probably have a shelf or a drawer at home that houses some things that are nice but just aren’t for you. So, rather than throw them away, you save them for a rainy day when you realize you need just the right thing for that person you totally forgot about. My re-gifting is an inherited practice. My mom keeps a closet filled with goodies to give. And my grandmother? One year he gave my mom this really fancy sweater on Christmas Day After dinner we pulled the videos and we watched everyone open the gifts from the year before. What did we see? My grandmother receiving the exact same sweater that she had just given my mom! Coincidence? No. So see? There was no way I was gonna be able to avoid my re-gifting. You would think I would learn my lesson since we have had one or two gifting disasters. Once, I sent my cousin, who lives in California, a wedding present from my closet…a clock that was given to me on my birthday by my crazy Aunt Nadine. It was unique! I truly thoughts he would love it. Weeks later I received a thank-you note for my thoughtful gift. Dear Erica: Thank you so much for the wonderful clock. I was a little confused when I opened it up and there was a card inside that said, “Happy Birthday Erica. Love, Aunt Nadine” But even after all that, the practice remains. I mean, I promise I’ll quit someday. First, I just have to get rid of the whistling key finder, light up shower mirror, cupcake-scented cream and the dot print hat. Any takers? 24. Why is re-gifting a longstanding Southern tradition? A. It helps in reducing waste. B. It is linked to the rainy days. C. It is a symbol of forgiveness. D. It reminds people of the forgotten. 25. What does the underlined word “inherited” mean? A. Created. B. Distinguished. C. Long forgotten. D. Passed down. 26. Which of the following best describes the two re-gifting stories? A. Confusing and annoying. B. Funny and embarrassing. C. Encouraging and heart-warming. D. Surprising and disappointing. 27. What can we infer about the author from the text? A. She will make new gifts out of old ones. B. She may hold on to the family practice. C. Takers have been found for her closet gifts. D. Her cousin was a bit confused about the gift. C According to a paper published in Science, one in ten residents of China’s coastal cities could be living below sea level within a century, as a result of land subsidence and climate change. Subsidence island sinking to a lower level than normal, usually owing to extraction (抽取) of subsurface water, rock or other resources The authors, led by Tao Shengli, a researcher in remote-sensing technology at Peking University in Beijing, assessed 82 cities across China. They used radar pulses (雷达脉冲) from satellites to measure the changes in the distance between the satellite and the ground to examine how its heights changed between 2015 and 2022. They found that some 16% of the mapped area of China’s major cities is sinking “rapidly”—faster than 10 millimetres every year. An even greater area, roughly 45%, is sinking at a “moderate” rate, greater than 3 millimetres annually. They links a range of natural and human factors to sinking, such as the depth of a city’s bedrock, groundwater extraction, the weight of buildings, and the use of transport systems. Previous studies have found that over-extraction of groundwater is a primary cause of severe land subsidence in cities across the world. The authors also listed the weight of buildings as a factor. Contrary to expectations, heavier buildings, such as the skyscrapers, tend to sinks lower than lighter structures do, possibly because those buildings are fixed on deeper rock. As cities sink, global sea levels are rising, owing to the effects of climate change. The double whammy will cause 22-26% of China’s coastal lands to drop below sea level by 2120, the paper says. Subsidence is certainly not only a problem in China. By 2040, almost one-fifth of the world’s population is projected to be living on sinking land. Given the urgency of this threat, scientists around the world are exploring various approaches to tackle the issues. 28. How did the researchers measure the land subsidence? A. By using satellites to monitor climate changes. B. By analyzing satellite data on city populations. C. By tracking varied satellite-to-ground distances over a session. D. By observing changes with remote-sensing equipment on the ground. 29. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. Transport systems greatly contribute to land subsidence. B. Management of groundwater is key to slowing down city sinking. C. The depth of city bedrock is a primary factor in urban land subsidence. D. Heavier buildings make the ground sink faster than lighter buildings do. 30. What does “double whammy” underlined in paragraph 5 refer to? A. Heavier buildings and climate change. B. Climate change and sea level rising. C. Heavier buildings and land subsidence. D. Sealevel rising and land subsidence. 31. What maybe talked about in the following paragraph? A. Possible solutions. B. Population growth. C. Various threats. D. Energy conservation. D The smallest object visible to the naked eye is a human egg cell. It measures just 0.1 millimetres in length. Beyond that limit, the world is completely invisible. Nanotechnology (纳米技术) is the field of science and engineering at a scale (规模) of one to a hundred nanometres. That’s a thousand to a hundred thousand times smaller than the smallest thing we can see. The tiny objects at this scale be have completely differently to the full-size structures we are used to. Gold changes colour from yellow to purple and becomes liquid at room temperature. Carbon transforms into an extraordinary electrical conductor. During the Cold War, a Nobel Prize winner, Richard Feynman, was investigating the possibility of science on anatomic (原子的) scale. Feynman wanted to miniaturize computers and create machines that could assemble molecules (分子) atom by atom. And he dreamed of a day when you could swallow your surgeon, delivering a life-saving robot into your body to perform surgeries. In the 1980s, two powerful new microscopes revealed the nanoworld in detail. The scanning tunnelling microscope used a very fine wire and an electric current to map even the thinnest of materials. At nanoscale, electrons behave like waves, allowing them to pass through solid objects. Another atomic force microscope could tell researchers about the chemical and physical properties of materials they could never hope to see with their own eyes. By the 1990s the field had exploded. Researchers observed carbon nanotubes for the first time—just a single atom thick. They were stronger than steel. In the years that followed scientists developed the ability to fold DNA like paper, and they discovered that it was possible to guide nanoparticles inside the body like homing missiles. Now, with science advancing at lightning speed, Feynman’s dreams are closer than ever. 32. Why does the author mention a human egg cell in paragraph 1? A. To give a definition. B. To explain a rule. C. To make a comparison. D. To make a prediction. 33. What did Feynman dream of nanotechnology? A. Electrons could pass through solid objects. B. Miniaturized computers could be created atom by atom. C. Nano robot would travel through the body and do operations. D. Nanomaterials could be engineered with extraordinary properties. 34. How did the two powerful microscopes help understand nanoworld? A. They made atoms visible. B. They helped obtain nanoscale features. C. They provided detailed images of atoms. D. They measured the electrical properties of materials. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Nanotechnology: From Theory to Reality B. Nanotech Innovations: Shaping Our World C. The Promising Prospect of Nanotechnology D. Journeying into the World of Nanotechnology 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In today’s rapidly evolving information age, Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a vital role in our lives, particularly in the field of education____36____And that will help us better adapt to future trends in language education.

I am a re-gifter. I actually have a closet (橱柜) that is just for my gifts to “Re”! Don’t judge me. Re-gifting is an established Southern tradition. Waste not want not, right? Most of you probably have a shelf or a drawer at home that houses some things that are nice but just aren’t for you. So, rather than throw them away, you save them for a rainy day when you realize you need just the right thing for that person you totally forgot about. My re-gifting is an inherited practice. My mom keeps a closet filled with goodies to give. And my grandmother? One year he gave my mom this really fancy sweater on Christmas Day After dinner we pulled the videos and we watched everyone open the gifts from the year before. What did we see? My grandmother receiving the exact same sweater that she had just given my mom! Coincidence? No. So see? There was no way I was gonna be able to avoid my re-gifting. You would think I would learn my lesson since we have had one or two gifting disasters. Once, I sent my cousin, who lives in California, a wedding present from my closet…a clock that was given to me on my birthday by my crazy Aunt Nadine. It was unique! I truly thoughts he would love it. Weeks later I received a thank-you note for my thoughtful gift. Dear Erica: Thank you so much for the wonderful clock. I was a little confused when I opened it up and there was a card inside that said, “Happy Birthday Erica. Love, Aunt Nadine” But even after all that, the practice remains. I mean, I promise I’ll quit someday. First, I just have to get rid of the whistling key finder, light up shower mirror, cupcake-scented cream and the dot print hat. Any takers? 24. Why is re-gifting a longstanding Southern tradition? A. It helps in reducing waste. B. It is linked to the rainy days. C. It is a symbol of forgiveness. D. It reminds people of the forgotten. 25. What does the underlined word “inherited” mean? A. Created. B. Distinguished. C. Long forgotten. D. Passed down. 26. Which of the following best describes the two re-gifting stories? A. Confusing and annoying. B. Funny and embarrassing. C. Encouraging and heart-warming. D. Surprising and disappointing. 27. What can we infer about the author from the text? A. She will make new gifts out of old ones. B. She may hold on to the family practice. C. Takers have been found for her closet gifts. D. Her cousin was a bit confused about the gift. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了转送礼物（re-gifting）这一在南方地区长期存在的传统习俗，并分享作者自己以及家人转送礼物的经历和感受。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Re-gifting is an established Southern tradition. Waste not want not, right? Most of you probably have a shelf or a drawer at home that houses some things that are nice but just aren’t for you. So, rather than throw them away, you save them for a rainy day when you realize you need just the right thing for that person you totally forgot about.(转送礼物是南方根深蒂固的传统。不浪费，不贪心，对吧？你们大多数人可能在家里都有一个架子或抽屉，里面放着一些不错但不适合自己的东西。所以，与其把它们扔掉，不如把它们保存起来，以备不时之需，比如当你意识到你需要一件完美的礼物送给那个你完全忘记的人时)”可知，重新赠送礼物是为了减少浪费。故选A。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文“My mom keeps a closet filled with goodies to give. And my grandmother? One year he gave my mom this really fancy sweater on Christmas Day After dinner we pulled the videos and we watched everyone open the gifts from the year before.(我妈妈有一个装满礼物的衣柜。那我祖母呢？有一年，他在圣诞节当天给了我妈妈一件非常时髦的毛衣。晚饭后，我们拿出了录像带，看大家打开去年收到的礼物)”可知，作者转送礼物的行为是继承下来的习惯。inherited在这里的意思是“继承的，传递下来的”，与D选项中的“Passed down”意思相近。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段到第五段内容可知，作者的妈妈和祖母都有转送礼物的习惯，而且都发生了尴尬的事情，比如祖母送给妈妈的毛衣最后又回到了祖母手里，作者送给表哥的钟表里面还带着给作者的生日卡片。这些事情既有趣又尴尬。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“So see? There was no way I was gonna be able to avoid my re-gifting.(所以明白了吗？我不可能避免转送礼物)”和最后一段“But even after all that, the practice remains. I mean, I promise I’ll quit someday.(但即便如此，这种做法依然存在。我是说，我保证总有一天我会放弃的)”可推知，作者可能会坚持这个家庭传统。故选B。 C According to a paper published in Science, one in ten residents of China’s coastal cities could be living below sea level within a century, as a result of land subsidence and climate change. Subsidence island sinking to a lower level than normal, usually owing to extraction (抽取) of subsurface water, rock or other resources The authors, led by Tao Shengli, a researcher in remote-sensing technology at Peking University in Beijing, assessed 82 cities across China. They used radar pulses (雷达脉冲) from satellites to measure the changes in the distance between the satellite and the ground to examine how its heights changed between 2015 and 2022. They found that some 16% of the mapped area of China’s major cities is sinking “rapidly”—faster than 10 millimetres every year. An even greater area, roughly 45%, is sinking at a “moderate” rate, greater than 3 millimetres annually. They links a range of natural and human factors to sinking, such as the depth of a city’s bedrock, groundwater extraction, the weight of buildings, and the use of transport systems. Previous studies have found that over-extraction of groundwater is a primary cause of severe land subsidence in cities across the world. The authors also listed the weight of buildings as a factor. Contrary to expectations, heavier buildings, such as the skyscrapers, tend to sinks lower than lighter structures do, possibly because those buildings are fixed on deeper rock. As cities sink, global sea levels are rising, owing to the effects of climate change. The double whammy will cause 22-26% of China’s coastal lands to drop below sea level by 2120, the paper says. Subsidence is certainly not only a problem in China. By 2040, almost one-fifth of the world’s population is projected to be living on sinking land. Given the urgency of this threat, scientists around the world are exploring various approaches to tackle the issues. 28. How did the researchers measure the land subsidence? A. By using satellites to monitor climate changes. B. By analyzing satellite data on city populations. C. By tracking varied satellite-to-ground distances over a session. D. By observing changes with remote-sensing equipment on the ground. 29. What can we learn from paragraph 4? A. Transport systems greatly contribute to land subsidence. B. Management of groundwater is key to slowing down city sinking. C. The depth of city bedrock is a primary factor in urban land subsidence. D. Heavier buildings make the ground sink faster than lighter buildings do. 30. What does “double whammy” underlined in paragraph 5 refer to? A. Heavier buildings and climate change. B. Climate change and sea level rising. C. Heavier buildings and land subsidence. D. Sealevel rising and land subsidence. 31. What maybe talked about in the following paragraph? A. Possible solutions. B. Population growth. C. Various threats. D. Energy conservation. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了由于地面沉降和气候变化的影响，中国沿海城市的居民在未来一个世纪内可能面临生活在海平面以下的风险。文章阐述了原因，并且讲述了鉴于这一威胁的紧迫性，全世界的科学家正在探索各种方法来解决这一问题。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“They used radar pulses from satellites to measure the changes in the distance between the satellite and the ground to examine how its heights changed between 2015 and 2022.(他们使用来自卫星的雷达脉冲来测量卫星与地面之间距离的变化，以研究其高度在2015年至2022年间的变化情况。)”可知，研究人员通过跟踪一段时间内卫星到地面的距离变化来测量地面沉降。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Previous studies have found that over-extraction of groundwater is a primary cause of severe land subsidence in cities across the world.(以前的研究发现，地下水的过度开采是世界各地城市严重地面沉降的主要原因。)”可推知，地下水管理是减缓城市下沉的关键。故选B。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“As cities sink, global sea levels are rising, owing to the effects of climate change. (随着城市下沉，由于气候变化的影响，全球海平面正在上升。)”可知，这种双重打击将导致到2120年，中国22-26%的沿海土地将降至海平面以下。因此，“double whammy”指的是海平面上升和地面沉降这两个问题。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Given the urgency of this threat, scientists around the world are exploring various approaches to tackle the issues.(鉴于这一威胁的紧迫性，世界各地的科学家正在探索解决这一问题的各种方法。)”可推知，下文可能会讨论可能的解决方案。故选A。 D The smallest object visible to the naked eye is a human egg cell. It measures just 0.1 millimetres in length. Beyond that limit, the world is completely invisible. Nanotechnology (纳米技术) is the field of science and engineering at a scale (规模) of one to a hundred nanometres. That’s a thousand to a hundred thousand times smaller than the smallest thing we can see. The tiny objects at this scale be have completely differently to the full-size structures we are used to. Gold changes colour from yellow to purple and becomes liquid at room temperature. Carbon transforms into an extraordinary electrical conductor. During the Cold War, a Nobel Prize winner, Richard Feynman, was investigating the possibility of science on anatomic (原子的) scale. Feynman wanted to miniaturize computers and create machines that could assemble molecules (分子) atom by atom. And he dreamed of a day when you could swallow your surgeon, delivering a life-saving robot into your body to perform surgeries. In the 1980s, two powerful new microscopes revealed the nanoworld in detail. The scanning tunnelling microscope used a very fine wire and an electric current to map even the thinnest of materials. At nanoscale, electrons behave like waves, allowing them to pass through solid objects. Another atomic force microscope could tell researchers about the chemical and physical properties of materials they could never hope to see with their own eyes. By the 1990s the field had exploded. Researchers observed carbon nanotubes for the first time—just a single atom thick. They were stronger than steel. In the years that followed scientists developed the ability to fold DNA like paper, and they discovered that it was possible to guide nanoparticles inside the body like homing missiles. Now, with science advancing at lightning speed, Feynman’s dreams are closer than ever. 32. Why does the author mention a human egg cell in paragraph 1? A. To give a definition. B. To explain a rule. C. To make a comparison. D. To make a prediction. 33. What did Feynman dream of nanotechnology? A. Electrons could pass through solid objects. B. Miniaturized computers could be created atom by atom. C. Nano robot would travel through the body and do operations. D. Nanomaterials could be engineered with extraordinary properties. 34. How did the two powerful microscopes help understand nanoworld? A. They made atoms visible. B. They helped obtain nanoscale features. C. They provided detailed images of atoms. D. They measured the electrical properties of materials. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Nanotechnology: From Theory to Reality B. Nanotech Innovations: Shaping Our World C. The Promising Prospect of Nanotechnology D. Journeying into the World of Nanotechnology 【答案】32. C 33. C 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了纳米技术的发展历程，从最初的设想到现代的实现，以及纳米技术对我们世界的影响。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The smallest object visible to the naked eye is a human egg cell. It measures just 0.1 millimetres in length. Beyond that limit, the world is completely invisible. Nanotechnology (纳米技术) is the field of science and engineering at a scale (规模) of one to a hundred nanometres. That’s a thousand to a hundred thousand times smaller than the smallest thing we can see.(人眼能看到的最小物体是人的卵细胞。它的长度只有0.1毫米。超出这个范围，世界就完全看不见了。纳米技术是科学和工程领域的一个分支，其规模为一到一百纳米。这比我们能看到的最小的东西小一千到一万倍。)”可推知，作者在第一段提到了人类卵细胞是为了和纳米进行对比。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“And he dreamed of a day when you could swallow your surgeon, delivering a life-saving robot into your body to perform surgeries.(他梦想有一天，你可以吞下你的外科医生，把一个拯救生命的机器人送到你的身体里来做手术。)”可知，他梦想的是纳米机器人能够穿过身体并进行手术。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In the 1980s, two powerful new microscopes revealed the nanoworld in detail. The scanning tunnelling microscope used a very fine wire and an electric current to map even the thinnest of materials. At nanoscale, electrons behave like waves, allowing them to pass through solid objects. Another atomic force microscope could tell researchers about the chemical and physical properties of materials they could never hope to see with their own eyes.(上世纪80年代，两台功能强大的新型显微镜详细揭示了纳米世界。扫描隧道显微镜使用非常细的金属丝和电流来绘制甚至是最薄材料的图像。在纳米尺度上，电子表现得像波一样，使它们能够穿过固体物体。另一台原子力显微镜可以告诉研究人员他们永远无法亲眼看到的材料的化学和物理性质。)”可知，这两个强大的显微镜通过帮助获得纳米尺度的特征来帮助我们了解纳米世界。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了纳米技术的发展历程，从最初的设想到现代的实现，以及纳米技术对我们世界的影响。因此，最好的标题应该是D项“Journeying into the World of Nanotechnology”，即“进入纳米技术的世界”。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In today’s rapidly evolving information age, Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a vital role in our lives, particularly in the field of education____36____And that will help us better adapt to future trends in language education.
