An apartment near the police station had caught fire and the dispatcher (调度员) reported a 3-year-old child trapped inside. Though firefighters were on the way, Tyler knew he could get there sooner. And so, the 25-year-old police officer raced to the scene determined to help. “I must save this child at all costs,” he thought. When Tyler Dison arrived at the apartment building, he saw fire flames shooting out of the windows. The police officer gave no thought to his own safety. Instead, he rushed into the flames. Rushing into the apartment filled with flames and thick, black smoke. Tyler immediately began searching for the child. The heat was unbearable but the brave officer refused to give up until, at last, he located the child. Officer Dison raced out with the 3-year-old boy in his arms, taking the child to his police car. The brave hero then drove to meet the ambulance (救护车) halfway so the boy could receive medical attention as quickly as possible. “If I hadn’t done something, that baby would have died,” Officer Dison explained. “His breathing was very shallow, and he wasn’t really responding.” Officer Dison got burned in his arm. However it didn’t matter to Tyler Dison. All he cared about was saving the 3-year-old. And thanks to his courage, the little boy got the help he needed and is going to be just fine. “I’m so happy that baby is doing OK,” Tyler said. “I grew up in this town, I want to protect it always.” The call Tyler Dison received that day was unlike any one he had ever experienced. Even so, when he arrived at the scene, Tyler’s past training and his deep desire to save lives told him just what to do. 33. What did Tyler Dison choose to do after he received the call? A Call the ambulance. B. Join the firefighters. C. Rush to the fire scene. D. Finish his night shift. 34. The boy’s life was finally saved because ______.

What are the best words to describe Tyler Dison? A. Responsible and honest. B. Brave and adventurous. C. Courageous and selfless. D. Independent and humorous. B Nowadays, the streaming music field is filled with seemingly similar services and interchangeable functions. However, a deeper dive shows that many of the highest-rated streaming music apps include a wide range of features. We’ve tested the notable names to help you narrow down your choices. Why We Picked It LiveOne features a deep well of quality listening material which includes informative DJs, numerous podcasts (播客) radio theatres, and concert streams. Who It’s For Rock music fans will dig LiveOne which focuses on the live music experience. If your favorite band is coming to town, you can purchase tickets to see a show in person or enjoy the show via live stream on your mobile phone. Why We Picked It By joining live radio, in-studio artist interviews, and traditional streaming audio together, SiriusXM owns its secret to success. An extremely generous three-month tryout lets you explore the service’s offerings before paying cash. Who It’s For SiriusXM is the perfect service for radio lovers who want to pursue life style and new shows. There’s a comforting nostalgia (怀旧) that comes from surfing channels on the radio, and SiriusXM brings that old-school memories to your vehicle or mobile device. Why We Picked It The music streaming industry is a particularly competitive field, so Deezer, which entered the scene in 2016, has its competitiveness. Still, Deezer is a well-rounded package that offers music, live radio show, and podcasts, as well as a few interesting parts to make the service worth your while. Who It’s For One of Deezer’s most interesting features is its ability to import MP3 files. If you have your favorite music files saved on a computer, you can upload them to your account via Deezer’s website. Why We Picked It There’s no shortage of streaming music services that highlight trending music. When it comes to classical music, however, many services fall short. Idagio offers a large record of high-quality classical music, as well as live-streamed concerts and interviews. Who It’s For There are plenty of music streaming services with classical tunes, but Idagio has the type-specific tools you need to find the music you want. 36. If you want to experience live-streamed classical music, you can download ______. A. LiveOne B. SiriusXM C. Deezer D. Idagio 37. What makes SiriusXM different from others? A. It provides live radio show. B. It offers short-term free use. C. It is popular with old schools. D. It can be used on mobile phones. 38. The passage is intended to ______. A. introduce the music on music apps B. share the features of different music apps C. rate services on the four popular music apps D. give instructions on the download of music apps C Arseny Moskvichev dreams of the day he can have a meaningful conversation with artificial intelligence. But the problem is that Large Language Models (LLMs) are complete amnesiacs. “Even the most advanced chatbots can only process about 16,000 words of text within a prompt (提示框) when in conversation with a human user,” says the cognitive and computer scientist. “They only have so much context they can attend to. If you’re out of this context, they forget everything you spoke about with them. And they can’t connect the information they receive during different ‘conversations’ with a human, or build a storyline.” To help chatbots improve their comprehension of the deep complexities (复杂性) of context, Moskvichev and his colleagues are teaching them to read novels, the way we might learn to read them in high school literature classes. The act of reading a novel might seem like an entertaining (娱乐的) pastime, but it requires intelligence. We use memory and complex comprehension to follow multiple characters through plots, scene changes, and narrative. The average novel averages around 80,000 words. All those words gradually build a story we hold and examine in our minds. But such skills are currently out of reach to LLMs, which can process text but cannot be said to read the way we do. Moskvichev and his group built a new database from 1,500 books. They train LLMs in reading comprehension by having the AI read a book in the database, analyzing long stretches of text, then asking it to find a correct scene summary from a pool of options. As a training tool the database offers more than a million questions for LLMs to practice on. However, to accurately summarize a book requires someone to read it, and design the training questions. “It’s very expensive to collect a data set of this type,” Moskvichev says. It is here that the scientists showed their power of creative imagination — they got ChatGPT-3.5 to summarize short book sections. It is an example of a machine being used to train a more powerful machine. While Moskvichev and his group have found the LLMs still make mistakes about half of the time, they have observed significant improvement in trained LLM performance versus untrained. “There’s still room for improvement,” Moskvichev says. 39. The underlined word “amnesiacs” in Para 1 refers to the people who ______. A. tend to forget things B. are poor at giving speech C. stick to one’s own opinion D. have trouble analyzing texts 40. What can we infer from Paragraph 2? A. What is related to humans and AI needs deep comprehension. B. What matters to AI may be of the same importance for humans. C. What humans do to relax themselves can be a big trouble for AI. D. What humans and AI share may be some seemingly simple skills. 41. For Moskvichev and his group, what is the challenge of building training tools for chatbots? A. Raising narrative ability. B. Seeking suitable novels. C. Designing training tools. D. Finding human resources. 42. What is Moskvichev’s attitude toward LLMs’ future? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Worried. D. Changing. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 Traditions are a way of life for many people. They are passed down from generation to generation, often with little change over time. ____43____ Do they lose their meaning and significance, or do they adapt and become more connected to the current times? Traditions are often seen as unchanging parts of culture. However, they are not carved in stone. ____44____ For example, some traditional celebrations may include new activities or technologies that were not present in the past, but they still keep the key elements that make the celebration unique. ____45____ Some traditions may change due to the influence of other cultures or new technologies. Others may evolve (演变) due to shifts in values. A perfect example is wedding traditions. Modern weddings may absorb traditional aspects like the white dress, but may also include newer ideas like technology-enhanced design. When a tradition changes, there is always the possibility for it to lose its significance or meaning. For example, if a community’s traditional harvest celebration is changed to include new technology, it may not feel traditional anymore. ____46____ Those who have kept up with the changing times while still preserving their cultural heritage have found ways to revive their traditions and even make them more interesting and related to the general people. In conclusion, tradition is ever-evolving. ____47____ Instead, they give the traditions meaning and resonate (共鸣) with people in new and exciting ways. Thus, while traditions may change, they are still important to hold on to our identity and community. It is our responsibility to keep them alive. A. Traditions change for many reasons. B. Traditions can be changed or adapted. C. Traditions usually adapt to meet changing times. D. But what happens when traditions start to evolve and change? E. The changes don’t necessarily mean that traditions become less important. F. As society becomes more global, technology continues to affect traditional customs. G. However, change can also help a tradition become more related to modern audiences. 第三部分：书面表达（共两节，31分） 第一节（共4小题；第48、49、50题各2分，第51题5分，共11分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 As a “third culture kid”, I live a particularly interesting life growing up abroad in a culture different to that of my parents. My father is from the UK and working in the engineering industry means that he needs to work in various countries around the world. My mother is French, and I was born in Thailand, where I lived until I finished high school. I’m currently studying at the University of Bath in the UK. For me, “where are you from?” is the question that usually requires an in-depth explanation of my life story. Those who listen to someone’s accent in order to figure out where they’re from will definitely struggle after meeting a third culture kid. Given that you’ve lived in a few countries, you probably speak at least two languages fluently and end up mixing them together without noticing. However, that does not necessarily mean you speak much of the language of the countries you’ve lived in. You will, of course, know a few greetings and some directions to give taxi drivers, but you’ve grown accustomed to living in a country where you can’t understand everything that’s being said around you. You get used to people leaving when attending an international school where goodbyes are way too frequent. Once you leave for university, you’re moving countries instead of cities, away from childhood friends. It’s fair to say that third culture kids really know the meaning of friendship, after all, friendship that survives distance means friends for life, right? After living abroad and being exposed to (接触) the diversity of cultures, people and history, it is nearly impossible for third culture kids not to continue travelling. Whether you choose to take a gap year, make the most of holidays or work, study or volunteer abroad—any opportunity to explore a new place is an opportunity not to be missed. Adventure and travelling are what we always long for. 48. Who are third culture kids? ________________________________________________________________________________ 49. Why do third culture kids really know the meaning of friendship? ________________________________________________________________________________ 50. What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph? ________________________________________________________________________________ 51. What do you think can be the benefit(s) of being exposed to the diversity of cultures? (In about 40 words) ________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节（20分） 52. 假设你是红星中学高一学生李华。学校将于今年9月组织戏剧节，你们班计划表演某英文剧片段，想邀请外教Jim做指导教师。请你用英文给他写一封邮件，内容包括： 1.计划参演的英文剧； 2.指导需求。 注意：1.词数100左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 提示词：戏剧 drama Dear Jim, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 东城区2023—2024学年度第二学期期末统一检测 高一英语 2024.7 本试卷共10页，共100分。考试时长90分钟。考生务必将答案答在答题卡上，在试卷上作答无效。考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分：知识运用（共三节，39分） 第一节 完形填空（共10小题；每小题1分，共10分） 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I left my home country to pursue a doctor’s degree in the UK.

With the development of modern society and the spread of new ideas, some traditions may ____12____ and others may be established. One example is the ____13____ Chinese Spring Festival custom of lighting firecrackers to drive away the evil spirits and celebrate the new year. Nowadays, many big cities ____14____ this custom in order to avoid air pollution. Another example is Halloween, which slowly became an exciting festival for children, in spite of its religious origins. 【答案】11. significant 12 fade away 13. typical 14. have given up 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讨论了节日习俗的重要性以及它们随着时间、社会的发展和新思想的传播而发生的变化。 11题详解】 考查形容词。句意：习俗在节日中扮演着重要的角色，但有时它们会随着时间而改变。根据句意，需要一个形容词来修饰角色。选项中significant（重要的）和typical（典型的）都是形容词，但根据语境，习俗在节日中通常是重要的，因此选择significant。故填significant。 【12题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：随着现代社会的发展和新思想的传播，一些传统可能会逐渐消失，而其他传统可能会被建立起来。这里需要一个动词来和下文的establish形成对比。选项中fade away（逐渐消失）符合句意，表示传统可能会逐渐消失或不再流行。故填fade away。 【13题详解】 考查形容词。句意：一个例子是典型的中国春节放鞭炮的习俗，用以驱赶邪灵并庆祝新年。这里需要一个形容词来修饰习俗。根据语境，春节放鞭炮是一个具有代表性的传统，因此选择typical（典型的）。故填typical。 【14题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：如今，为了减少空气污染，许多大城市放弃了这一习俗。空处缺少谓语，根据下文的“avoid air pollution”可知，此处表示很多大城市放弃了这一习俗。give up（放弃）符合句意，此处表示过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响，所以空处谓语动词需用现在完成时态：have/has done,主语是复数，所以此处助动词需用have。故填have given up。 B 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，从每篇短文上面的方框中选择合适的单词或词组，并用其正确形式填空。每组词中有一词为多余选项。 observe, establish, launch, approach China became the third country in the world to independently send humans into space in 2003.

An apartment near the police station had caught fire and the dispatcher (调度员) reported a 3-year-old child trapped inside. Though firefighters were on the way, Tyler knew he could get there sooner. And so, the 25-year-old police officer raced to the scene determined to help. “I must save this child at all costs,” he thought. When Tyler Dison arrived at the apartment building, he saw fire flames shooting out of the windows. The police officer gave no thought to his own safety. Instead, he rushed into the flames. Rushing into the apartment filled with flames and thick, black smoke. Tyler immediately began searching for the child. The heat was unbearable but the brave officer refused to give up until, at last, he located the child. Officer Dison raced out with the 3-year-old boy in his arms, taking the child to his police car. The brave hero then drove to meet the ambulance (救护车) halfway so the boy could receive medical attention as quickly as possible. “If I hadn’t done something, that baby would have died,” Officer Dison explained. “His breathing was very shallow, and he wasn’t really responding.” Officer Dison got burned in his arm. However, it didn’t matter to Tyler Dison. All he cared about was saving the 3-year-old. And thanks to his courage, the little boy got the help he needed and is going to be just fine. “I’m so happy that baby is doing OK,” Tyler said. “I grew up in this town, I want to protect it always.” The call Tyler Dison received that day was unlike any one he had ever experienced. Even so, when he arrived at the scene, Tyler’s past training and his deep desire to save lives told him just what to do. 33. What did Tyler Dison choose to do after he received the call? A. Call the ambulance. B. Join the firefighters. C. Rush to the fire scene. D. Finish his night shift. 34. The boy’s life was finally saved because ______.

And so, the 25-year-old police officer raced to the scene determined to help.(虽然消防员已经在路上了，但Tyler知道他可以更快到达那里。于是，这位25岁的警察迅速赶到现场，决心提供帮助)”可知，Tyler Dison在接到电话后选择赶往火灾现场，故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“The brave hero then drove to meet the ambulance (救护车) halfway so the boy could receive medical attention as quickly as possible.(这位勇敢的英雄随后开车去接救护车，以便男孩能尽快接受治疗。)”和倒数第三段中“And thanks to his courage, the little boy got the help he needed and is going to be just fine.(多亏了他的勇气，小男孩得到了他需要的帮助，很快就会好起来的)”可知，男孩最终被救是因为他得到了及时的治疗，故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The police officer gave no thought to his own safety. Instead, he rushed into the flames.(那个警察没有考虑到自己的安全。相反，他冲向了火焰)”和第四段中“The heat was unbearable but the brave officer refused to give up(酷热难耐，但这位勇敢的军官拒绝放弃)”以及倒数第三段中“All he cared about was saving the 3-year-old.(他只想着救那个三岁的孩子)”可知，Tyler Dison勇敢无私，故选C。 B Nowadays, the streaming music field is filled with seemingly similar services and interchangeable functions. However, a deeper dive shows that many of the highest-rated streaming music apps include a wide range of features. We’ve tested the notable names to help you narrow down your choices. Why We Picked It LiveOne features a deep well of quality listening material, which includes informative DJs, numerous podcasts (播客) radio theatres, and concert streams. Who It’s For Rock music fans will dig LiveOne, which focuses on the live music experience. If your favorite band is coming to town, you can purchase tickets to see a show in person or enjoy the show via live stream on your mobile phone. Why We Picked It By joining live radio, in-studio artist interviews, and traditional streaming audio together, SiriusXM owns its secret to success.

Idagio offers a large record of high-quality classical music, as well as live-streamed concerts and interviews.(然而，当涉及到古典音乐时，许多服务都不足。Idagio提供了高质量的古典音乐，以及直播音乐会和采访的大量记录。)”可知，如果对古典音乐感兴趣，可以选择Idagio。故选D。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中第二部分中“An extremely generous three-month tryout lets you explore the service’s offerings before paying cash. (一个极其慷慨的三个月试用让你在支付现金之前探索服务的产品。)”可知，该音乐流媒体平台提供短期的免费使用，使其与众不同。故选B。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Nowadays, the streaming music field is filled with seemingly similar services and interchangeable functions. However, a deeper dive shows that many of the highest-rated streaming music apps include a wide range of features. We’ve tested the notable names to help you narrow down your choices.( 如今，流媒体音乐领域充斥着看似相似的服务和可互换的功能。然而，更深入的研究表明，许多排名最高的流媒体音乐应用程序都包含了广泛的功能。我们测试了一些著名的名字，以帮助你缩小选择范围。)”可知，文章的目的是许多排名最高的流媒体音乐应用程序都包含了广泛的功能，文章对此进行介绍即分享不同音乐应用程序的功能。故选B。 C Arseny Moskvichev dreams of the day he can have a meaningful conversation with artificial intelligence. But the problem is that Large Language Models (LLMs) are complete amnesiacs. “Even the most advanced chatbots can only process about 16,000 words of text within a prompt (提示框) when in conversation with a human user,” says the cognitive and computer scientist. “They only have so much context they can attend to. If you’re out of this context, they forget everything you spoke about with them. And they can’t connect the information they receive during different ‘conversations’ with a human, or build a storyline.” To help chatbots improve their comprehension of the deep complexities (复杂性) of context, Moskvichev and his colleagues are teaching them to read novels, the way we might learn to read them in high school literature classes. The act of reading a novel might seem like an entertaining (娱乐的) pastime, but it requires intelligence. We use memory and complex comprehension to follow multiple characters through plots, scene changes, and narrative. The average novel averages around 80,000 words. All those words gradually build a story we hold and examine in our minds. But such skills are currently out of reach to LLMs, which can process text but cannot be said to read the way we do. Moskvichev and his group built a new database from 1,500 books. They train LLMs in reading comprehension by having the AI read a book in the database, analyzing long stretches of text, then asking it to find a correct scene summary from a pool of options. As a training tool the database offers more than a million questions for LLMs to practice on. However, to accurately summarize a book requires someone to read it, and design the training questions. “It’s very expensive to collect a data set of this type,” Moskvichev says. It is here that the scientists showed their power of creative imagination — they got ChatGPT-3.5 to summarize short book sections. It is an example of a machine being used to train a more powerful machine. While Moskvichev and his group have found the LLMs still make mistakes about half of the time, they have observed significant improvement in trained LLM performance versus untrained. “There’s still room for improvement,” Moskvichev says. 39. The underlined word “amnesiacs” in Para 1 refers to the people who ______. A. tend to forget things B. are poor at giving speech C. stick to one’s own opinion D. have trouble analyzing texts 40. What can we infer from Paragraph 2? A. What is related to humans and AI needs deep comprehension. B. What matters to AI may be of the same importance for humans. C. What humans do to relax themselves can be a big trouble for AI. D. What humans and AI share may be some seemingly simple skills. 41. For Moskvichev and his group, what is the challenge of building training tools for chatbots? A. Raising narrative ability. B. Seeking suitable novels. C. Designing training tools. D. Finding human resources. 42. What is Moskvichev’s attitude toward LLMs’ future? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Worried. D. Changing. 【答案】39. A 40. C 41. D 42. A 【解析】 【导语】本文的体裁是说明文，主要介绍了人工智能领域中大型语言模型（LLMs）在处理上下文理解方面的局限性，以及科学家Arseny Moskvichev和他的团队如何通过训练这些模型阅读小说来提高它们的阅读理解能力。 【39题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段“They only have so much context they can attend to. If you’re out of this context, they forget everything you spoke about with them. And they can’t connect the information they receive during different “conversations” with a human, or build a storyline.( 他们只能关注有限的上下文。如果你离开了这个上下文，他们会忘记你和他们说过的一切。他们无法将在不同“对话”中接收到的信息联系起来，也无法构建一个故事线)”可知，LLMs 只能关注有限的上下文，超出范围就会忘记，所以“But the problem is that Large Language Models (LLMs) are complete amnesiacs.(但问题是大型语言模型（LLMs）是完全 amnesiacs。”中的“amnesiacs”指的是会忘记事情的人。故选A项。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The act of reading a novel might seem like an entertaining (娱乐的) pastime, but it requires intelligence. We use memory and complex comprehension to follow multiple characters through plots, scene changes, and narrative. The average novel averages around 80,000 words. All those words gradually build a story we hold and examine in our minds. But such skills are currently out of reach to LLMs, which can process text but cannot be said to read the way we do(阅读小说的行为可能看起来像是一种娱乐性的消遣，但它需要智力。我们使用记忆和复杂的理解能力来跟随多个角色在情节、场景变化和叙述中的发展。平均而言，一本小说大约有80,000个单词。所有这些单词逐渐构建了一个我们在脑海中持有并审视的故事。但这样的技能目前对LLMs来说还遥不可及，它们可以处理文本，但不能像我们这样阅读)”可知第二段主要讲述了阅读小说这一人类的娱乐活动需要运用记忆和复杂的理解能力，而目前 LLMs还无法达到这种能力，即阅读这一对人类来说是放松自己的活动，对AI来说却是一项巨大的挑战。故选C项。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“However, to accurately summarize a book requires someone to read it, and design the training questions. “It’s very expensive to collect a data set of this type,” Moskvichev says.( 然而，要准确地总结一本书需要有人去阅读它，并设计训练问题。‘收集这种类型的数据集非常昂贵，’莫斯克维奇说)”可知，为聊天机器人构建训练工具的挑战在于需要有人阅读书籍并设计训练问题，而收集这种类型的数据集非常昂贵；由此推知，Moskvichev和他的团队在为聊天机器人构建训练工具时面临的挑战是找到人力资源。故选D项。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While Moskvichev and his group have found the LLMs still make mistakes about half of the time, they have observed significant improvement in trained LLM performance versus untrained. “There’s still room for improvement,” Moskvichev says.(虽然Moskvichev和他的团队发现LLMs仍然有一半的时间会犯错误，但他们观察到训练过的LLM性能相比未训练的有了显著提升。‘还有改进的空间，’Moskvichev说)”可知，尽管还有错误和改进的空间，但他们看到了训练后的进步；因此，Moskvichev对LLMs的未来持积极态度。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 Traditions are a way of life for many people. They are passed down from generation to generation, often with little change over time. ____43____ Do they lose their meaning and significance, or do they adapt and become more connected to the current times? Traditions are often seen as unchanging parts of culture. However, they are not carved in stone. ____44____ For example, some traditional celebrations may include new activities or technologies that were not present in the past, but they still keep the key elements that make the celebration unique. ____45____ Some traditions may change due to the influence of other cultures or new technologies. Others may evolve (演变) due to shifts in values. A perfect example is wedding traditions. Modern weddings may absorb traditional aspects like the white dress, but may also include newer ideas like technology-enhanced design. When a tradition changes, there is always the possibility for it to lose its significance or meaning. For example, if a community’s traditional harvest celebration is changed to include new technology, it may not feel traditional anymore. ____46____ Those who have kept up with the changing times while still preserving their cultural heritage have found ways to revive their traditions and even make them more interesting and related to the general people. In conclusion, tradition is ever-evolving. ____47____ Instead, they give the traditions meaning and resonate (共鸣) with people in new and exciting ways. Thus, while traditions may change, they are still important to hold on to our identity and community. It is our responsibility to keep them alive. A. Traditions change for many reasons. B. Traditions can be changed or adapted. C. Traditions usually adapt to meet changing times. D. But what happens when traditions start to evolve and change? E. The changes don’t necessarily mean that traditions become less important. F. As society becomes more global, technology continues to affect traditional customs. G. However, change can also help a tradition become more related to modern audiences. 【答案】43. D 44. B 45. A 46. G 47. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了传统实际上并非一成不变，而是在不断发展，包括吸收新技术和不同文化的影响。文章指出，尽管传统可能因变化而失去某些原有意义，但适应性变化也能使其与现代受众更相关，增强其吸引力。 【43题详解】 前文“Traditions are a way of life for many people. They are passed down from generation to generation, often with little change over time. (传统是许多人一种生活方式。它们是代代相传的，通常随着时间的推移几乎没有变化)”提到传统几乎不会随着时间而变化，后文“Do they lose their meaning and significance, or do they adapt and become more connected to the current times? (它们是否失去了它们的意义和重要性，或者它们是否适应并与当前时代更加紧密地联系在一起？)”提出问题，疑惑传统变化这件事意味着什么，因此D项“But what happens when traditions start to evolve and change? (但是当传统开始演变和改变时会发生什么呢？)”符合语境，引出传统开始演变和改变的情境，和前文构成转折，引出后文进一步的问题，后文的they指代其中的traditions。故选D。 【44题详解】 前文“Traditions are often seen as unchanging parts of culture. However, they are not carved in stone. (传统通常被视为文化中不变的部分。然而，它们并不是刻在石头上的)”指出传统实际上并非不可变化，因此B项“Traditions can be changed or adapted. (传统可以改变或调整)”符合语境，承接前文。故选B。 【45题详解】 根据后文“Some traditions may change due to the influence of other cultures or new technologies. Others may evolve (演变) due to shifts in values. A perfect example is wedding traditions. (由于其他文化或新技术的影响，一些传统可能会改变。其他可能是由于价值观的转变而演变的。婚礼传统就是一个很好的例子)”可知，本段主要介绍传统发生改变的原因，空处位于段首，是段落主旨句，应该与原因相关，因此A项“Traditions change for many reasons. (传统的改变有很多原因)”符合语境，契合段落内容，其中的reasons和后文的due to呼应。故选A。 【46题详解】 前文“For example, if a community’s traditional harvest celebration is changed to include new technology, it may not feel traditional anymore. (例如，如果一个社区的传统丰收庆祝活动包含了新技术，它可能就不再是传统的了)”以具体的例子说明传统的改变会让其本身的性质变化，属于负面影响，后文“Those who have kept up with the changing times while still preserving their cultural heritage have found ways to revive their traditions and even make them more interesting and related to the general people. (那些在保持文化遗产的同时跟上时代变化的人找到了恢复他们的传统的方法，甚至使它们更有趣，与一般人相关)”指出也存在保持传统的同时跟上时代变化的情况，因此G项“However, change can also help a tradition become more related to modern audiences. (然而，改变也可以帮助传统与现代受众更紧密地联系起来)”符合语境，指出传统的改变的积极影响，和前文构成转折，引出后文。故选G。 【47题详解】 前文“In conclusion, tradition is ever-evolving. (总之，传统是不断发展的)”指出传统不断发展，后文“Instead, they give the traditions meaning and resonate (共鸣) with people in new and exciting ways. (相反，它们赋予了传统意义，并以新的、令人兴奋的方式与人们产生共鸣)”指出变化的积极意义，因此E项“The changes don’t necessarily mean that traditions become less important. (这些变化并不一定意味着传统变得不那么重要了)”符合语境，和前文构成转折，后文是对其解释，后文的they指代其中的The changes。故选E。 第三部分：书面表达（共两节，31分） 第一节（共4小题；第48、49、50题各2分，第51题5分，共11分） 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 As a “third culture kid”, I live a particularly interesting life growing up abroad in a culture different to that of my parents. My father is from the UK and working in the engineering industry means that he needs to work in various countries around the world. My mother is French, and I was born in Thailand, where I lived until I finished high school. I’m currently studying at the University of Bath in the UK. For me, “where are you from?” is the question that usually requires an in-depth explanation of my life story. Those who listen to someone’s accent in order to figure out where they’re from will definitely struggle after meeting a third culture kid. Given that you’ve lived in a few countries, you probably speak at least two languages fluently and end up mixing them together without noticing. However, that does not necessarily mean you speak much of the language of the countries you’ve lived in. You will, of course, know a few greetings and some directions to give taxi drivers, but you’ve grown accustomed to living in a country where you can’t understand everything that’s being said around you. You get used to people leaving when attending an international school where goodbyes are way too frequent. Once you leave for university, you’re moving countries instead of cities, away from childhood friends. It’s fair to say that third culture kids really know the meaning of friendship, after all, friendship that survives distance means friends for life, right? After living abroad and being exposed to (接触) the diversity of cultures, people and history, it is nearly impossible for third culture kids not to continue travelling. Whether you choose to take a gap year, make the most of holidays or work, study or volunteer abroad—any opportunity to explore a new place is an opportunity not to be missed. Adventure and travelling are what we always long for. 48. Who are third culture kids? ________________________________________________________________________________ 49. Why do third culture kids really know the meaning of friendship? ________________________________________________________________________________ 50. What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph? ________________________________________________________________________________ 51. What do you think can be the benefit(s) of being exposed to the diversity of cultures? (In about 40 words) ________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】48. The third culture kids are those who grow up abroad in a culture different to that of their parents. 49.

My father is from the UK and working in the engineering industry means that he needs to work in various countries around the world. My mother is French, and I was born in Thailand, where I lived until I finished high school. I’m currently studying at the University of Bath in the UK.(作为一个“第三文化的孩子”，我在与父母不同的文化中长大，过着特别有趣的生活。我的父亲来自英国，从事工程行业意味着他需要在世界各地的不同国家工作。我母亲是法国人，我出生在泰国，高中毕业前一直住在那里。我目前在英国巴斯大学学习。)”可知，作者作为一个“第三文化的孩子”，其父亲来自于英国，其母亲是法国人，而作者本身出生于泰国，所以第三文化孩子是在不同于父母的文化环境中成长的孩子。故答案为The third culture kids are those who grow up abroad in a culture different to that of their parents. 【49题详解】 考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中“Once you leave for university, you’re moving countries instead of cities, away from childhood friends. It’s fair to say that third culture kids really know the meaning of friendship, after all, friendship that survives distance means friends for life, right?( 一旦你离开家去上大学，你就离开了儿时的朋友，离开了国家而不是城市。公平地说，第三文化的孩子们真的知道友谊的意义，毕竟，能跨越距离的友谊意味着一生的朋友，对吧？)”可知，第三文化孩子因为需要为大学离开一个国家而不是一个城市，与童年的朋友分开，因此他们更懂得友谊的意义，因为能够经受住距离考验的友谊才是一生的朋友。故答案为Because they have to leave childhood friends when moving to another country for university, and friendship that survives distance means friends for life. 【50题详解】 考查主旨大意。根据最后一段“After living abroad and being exposed to (接触) the diversity of cultures, people and history, it is nearly impossible for third culture kids not to continue travelling. Whether you choose to take a gap year, make the most of holidays or work, study or volunteer abroad—any opportunity to explore a new place is an opportunity not to be missed. Adventure and travelling are what we always long for.(在国外生活并接触到文化、人民和历史的多样性之后，第三文化的孩子几乎不可能不继续旅行。无论你是选择间隔年，还是充分利用假期、工作、学习或出国做志愿者——任何探索新地方的机会都是不容错过的。冒险和旅行是我们一直渴望的。)”可知，本段强调的是第三文化孩子热爱冒险和旅行，并且会抓住每一个探索新地方的机会。故答案为How third culture kids love adventure and travelling, and how they always seize opportunities to explore new places. 【51题详解】 开放式题目。本题目为开放式题目，回答合理即可。本人认为，接触不同文化的多样性可以拓宽一个人的视野，让人了解不同国家和文化的风土人情；同时能够提高跨文化交流能力，并且能够增强个人的包容性和适应能力。故答案为I believe that exposure to diverse cultures can broaden one’s horizons, allowing one to understand the customs and cultures of different countries, which can also improve cross-cultural communication skills, enhancing one’s tolerance and adaptability. 第二节（20分） 52. 假设你是红星中学高一学生李华。学校将于今年9月组织戏剧节，你们班计划表演某英文剧片段，想邀请外教Jim做指导教师。请你用英文给他写一封邮件，内容包括： 1.计划参演的英文剧； 2.指导需求。 注意：1.词数100左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 提示词：戏剧 drama Dear Jim, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jim, I am Li Hua a student from Class 1, Grade 1 at Hongxing High School.
