“I first saw the Great Wall on a map in 1967 when I was only 11 years old. I spent a long time trying to work out how long the Great Wall was, but I failed. I thought I would surely go there one day,” said William Lindesay, a Great Wall researcher from the UK.
The Englishman did what he said. He came to China in 1986 with a plan to run the whole length of the Great Wall. But that year his goal was not achieved. William came back a year later and realized his dream. In 1990, he decided to live in China. Then he bought a farmhouse near the Great Wall.
“Many people wonder why I’m obsessed greatly by the Great Wall. The first reason is that it’s beautiful, and the second thing is that it’s outdoors. There’s history in the outdoors. You need to move to discover it. And the third point is it’s fun. The Great Wall is in my mind every day,” said William.
William’s younger son Thomas said, “I often describe my childhood as ‘wild’, staying at the foot of the Great Wall almost every weekend. It’s amazing because not many people get to see such world heritage all the time, and I got to see it all year around.” His elder son James said, “Living here has a lot of effect on how I see the Great Wall. It’s almost like my backyard, so I should protect it.”
William has published 11 books about the Great Wall in 30 years. He has also completed several photo projects on the Great Wall. “It made me so happy when our film was shown on the BBC. For the first time we got an hour and a half to open the eyes of the British , and show them what the Great Wall is. We received lots of emails from people saying that they really enjoyed it and didn’t know that China was so beautiful. I became a ‘Great Wall ambassador (大使)’,” said William.
4. What do we know about William Lindesay?
A. He runs a farm near the Great Wall. B. He measured the length of Great Wall in 1986.
C. His father was an expert on the Great Wall. D. He didn’t climb the Great Wall in his teens.
5. What does the underlined word “obsessed” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Reminded. B. Attracted. C. Struck. D. Buried.
6. Why Thomas and James are mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To introduce their home’s location.
B. To encourage people to protect the Great Wall.
C. To describe the childhood of William’s children.
D. To show the Great Wall’s impact on William’s children.
7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. William’s sons will work in the film industry.
B. William has become a famous director for his film.
C. William has promoted the spread of Chinese culture abroad.
D. William will work for the Chinese government in the future.
C
Dopamine (多巴胺) is often considered as the source of pleasure. But that’s not quite what it does. Dopamine is what makes us desire things. And it’s that desire that gives us the motivation to get up and do things.
In fact, your brain considers something more important than others mainly depending on how much dopamine it’s expecting to get. If an activity releases a lot of dopamine, you’ll be motivated to repeat it, over and over. So which behavior releases dopamine? Any activity where you expect there’s a possible reward releases it.
And in today’s digital society, we are flooding our brains with unnaturally high amounts of dopamine on a daily basis, even if we don’t know it. Some examples of high dopamine behavior include: visiting social media websites, playing video games, etc.
And you might think, “Oh so what? It’s not like it’s harming me in any way.” But you’d be wrong. Our bodies have a biologically balanced system. Whenever an imbalance occurs, our body adapts to it. Basically, your brain gets used to having high levels of dopamine and those levels become your new normal. Thus, you develop a dopamine tolerance. This can be a huge problem because the things that don’t give you as much dopamine don’t interest you any longer. That’s why people tend to prefer playing video games or surfing the Internet, compared to studying or working on their business.
But it is possible to make doing difficult things feel easier. Separate yourself from the unnaturally high amounts of dopamine, or at least expose yourself to it far less frequently. Only then will normal, everyday, low dopamine activities become exciting again and you’ll be able to do them for longer. That’s why you might want to limit your phone and computer usage, along with other high dopamine-releasing behavior.
We are all dopamine addicts to a certain extent. And that’s a good thing because dopamine motivates us to achieve our goals and improve ourselves. But it’s up to you to decide where you’re going to get your dopamine.
8. When is dopamine released?
A. When tough things come into being. B. When we are encouraged to do things.
C. When we take pleasure in the behavior. D. When possible rewards can be obtained.
9. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Dopamine does great harm to our body. B. It’s difficult for our body to keep the balance.
C. Video games produce more dopamine than study. D. Dopamine tolerance keeps us away from social media.
10. What is the purpose of the fifth paragraph?
A. To explain why dopamine is harmful. B. To introduce the effects of dopamine.
C. To stress the importance of dopamine. D. To offer solutions to dopamine tolerance.
11. What is the author’s attitude toward dopamine?
A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Concerned. D. Negative.
D
Is it time to put the brakes on the development of artificial intelligence? If you've quietly asked yourself that question, you're not alone. In late March, a group of AI experts signed an open letter calling for a six-month pause on the development of more powerful models than GPT-4; European researchers called for tighter AI regulations; and long-time AI researcher Yudkowsky demanded a complete shutdown of AI development.
Meanwhile, the industry shows no sign of slowing down. In March, a senior AI executive at Microsoft spoke of “very, very high” pressure from chief executive to get GPT-4 and other new models to the public “at a very high speed ”. GPT-4 is much larger and has been trained on significantly more data. Like other large language models, GPT-4 works by guessing the next word in response to prompts(提示). In tests, it passed legal and medical exams, and can write software better than professionals in many cases. And its full range of abilities is yet to be discovered.
GPT-4 and models like it are likely to have huge effects across many layers of society. They could facilitate personalized phishing(网络钓鱼) attacks, produce disinformation at scale, and be used to hack through the net -work security around computer systems. Open AI's own research suggests models like GPT-4 are “general-purpose technologies” which will influence 80 percent of the US workforce. Professions such as customer services, primary translations and editing, and security guard will be greatly impacted. Moreover, technology is accelerating much faster than our ability to understand and regulate it. If we're not careful, it will also drive changes that are too fast for safety. The US sociologist E. O. Wilson described the dangers of change like so: “The real problem of humanity is the following: we have Paleolithic(旧石器时代的) emotions, medieval(中世纪的) institutions and god-like technology.”
I believe a wise course of action is to slow down and think about where we want to take these technologies. It is not about stopping, but rather moving at a sustainable pace of progress. We can choose to steer this technology, rather than assume it has a life of its own we can't control.
12. How is the first paragraph mainly developed?
A. By listing reasons.
B. By giving examples.
C. By making comparisons.
D. By analyzing cause and effect.
13. What do we know about GPT-4?
A. It has no match in software writing.
B. AI experts have stopped its development.
C We don't have a clear picture of what it can do.
D It works by creating the next word with no need for prompts.
14. Which of the following does E .O. Wilson probably agree with?
A. We manage to keep up with AI Technology.
B. We can be taken back to ancient times by AI Technology.
C AI Technology is developing too fast and beyond our control.
D. AI Technology has a minor impact on different fields of society.
15. What might be a suitable title for the text?
A. Time to Adjust to AI B. Time to Go Slow on AI
C. An Urgent Stop to AI D. A Significant Progress of AI

It was a hot day in the middle of July. I decided to walk to the neighborhood store where it sold my favorite thing, ice cream. I pulled a friend towards the ice cream store, almost passing out from the burning sun on the way.
As we walked on, my friend kept saying that it was too hot. She thought that she was stupid to decide to come with me to buy ice cream. I felt sorry and tried to encourage her. “We're almost there. Just think of the cool and sweet taste of ice cream in your mouth. It'll be worth the walk,” I told her. But I had to admit that the store was quite a distance from our houses. During the journey, my mouth began to become dry and I wanted to drink.
When we were about a block away from the store, I noticed an old lady who was walking in our direction. She was about 70 years old. She had a big back problem, so she was unable to keep her back straight. She was struggling, pushing a shopping cart full of things like the soap, bread and water. With each step toward her, we began to see her appearance more clearly. It appeared that she was often unhappy and easy to get angry.
I looked at my friend to see if she had noticed her. I could see that she had and that she disliked the old lady due to the lady's appearance. As we approached the lady pushing the shopping cart, my friend directed me away from the old lady and the cart.
I began to observe other passers-by. They were also trying to avoid her. Suddenly I heard a terrible sound behind me. I quickly turned around to see what it was. I found the lady's cart had been knocked over by something on the ground.
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:
Things in the shopping cart like the soap all dropped on the ground.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Then my friend continued walking on while I went to the lady.

“I first saw the Great Wall on a map in 1967 when I was only 11 years old. I spent a long time trying to work out how long the Great Wall was, but I failed. I thought I would surely go there one day,” said William Lindesay, a Great Wall researcher from the UK.
The Englishman did what he said. He came to China in 1986 with a plan to run the whole length of the Great Wall. But that year his goal was not achieved. William came back a year later and realized his dream. In 1990, he decided to live in China. Then he bought a farmhouse near the Great Wall.
“Many people wonder why I’m obsessed greatly by the Great Wall. The first reason is that it’s beautiful, and the second thing is that it’s outdoors. There’s history in the outdoors. You need to move to discover it. And the third point is it’s fun. The Great Wall is in my mind every day,” said William.
William’s younger son Thomas said, “I often describe my childhood as ‘wild’, staying at the foot of the Great Wall almost every weekend. It’s amazing because not many people get to see such world heritage all the time, and I got to see it all year around.” His elder son James said, “Living here has a lot of effect on how I see the Great Wall. It’s almost like my backyard, so I should protect it.”
William has published 11 books about the Great Wall in 30 years. He has also completed several photo projects on the Great Wall. “It made me so happy when our film was shown on the BBC. For the first time we got an hour and a half to open the eyes of the British , and show them what the Great Wall is. We received lots of emails from people saying that they really enjoyed it and didn’t know that China was so beautiful. I became a ‘Great Wall ambassador (大使)’,” said William.
4. What do we know about William Lindesay?
A. He runs a farm near the Great Wall. B. He measured the length of Great Wall in 1986.
C. His father was an expert on the Great Wall. D. He didn’t climb the Great Wall in his teens.
5. What does the underlined word “obsessed” mean in paragraph 3?

6. Why Thomas and James are mentioned in paragraph 4?
A. To introduce their home’s location.
B. To encourage people to protect the Great Wall.

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“I first saw the Great Wall on a map in 1967 when I was only 11 years old. I spent a long time trying to work out how long the Great Wall was, but I failed. I thought I would surely go there one day(我第一次在地图上看到长城是在1967年,当时我只有11岁。我花了很长时间试图算出长城有多长,但我失败了。我想总有一天我一定会去那里)”和第二段“The Englishman did what he said. He came to China in 1986 with a plan to run the whole length of the Great Wall.(这个英国人说到做到。1986年,他带着跑完长城的计划来到中国)”可知,William Lindesay十几岁时没爬过长城。故选D。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“The first reason is that it’s beautiful, and the second thing is that it’s outdoors. There’s history in the outdoors. You need to move to discover it. And the third point is it’s fun. The Great Wall is in my mind every day(第一个原因是它很美,第二个原因是它在户外。户外也有历史。你需要行动起来去发现它。第三点是它很有趣。长城每天都在我的脑海里)”可知,William给出了喜欢长城的三个原因。由此推知,划线句讲的是他被长城吸引的原因,故划线词为“吸引,着迷”的意思。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“William’s younger son Thomas said, “I often describe my childhood as ‘wild’, staying at the foot of the Great Wall almost every weekend. It’s amazing because not many people get to see such world heritage all the time, and I got to see it all year around.” His elder son James said, “Living here has a lot of effect on how I see the Great Wall. It’s almost like my backyard, so I should protect it.”(威廉王子的小儿子托马斯说:“我经常用‘狂野’来形容我的童年,几乎每个周末都待在长城脚下。这太神奇了,因为没有多少人能一直看到这样的世界遗产,而我全年都能看到它。”他的大儿子詹姆斯说:“住在这里对我对长城的看法有很大影响。它几乎就像我的后院,所以我应该保护它。”)”可推知,第四段提到了托马斯和詹姆斯是为了说明长城对威廉的孩子们的影响。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“We received lots of emails from people saying that they really enjoyed it and didn’t know that China was so beautiful. I became a ‘Great Wall ambassador (大使)’(我们收到了很多来自人们的电子邮件,说他们真的很喜欢中国,不知道中国是如此美丽。我成了“长城大使”)”可推知,William推进了中国文化在国外的传播。故选C。
C
Dopamine (多巴胺) is often considered as the source of pleasure. But that’s not quite what it does. Dopamine is what makes us desire things. And it’s that desire that gives us the motivation to get up and do things.
In fact, your brain considers something more important than others mainly depending on how much dopamine it’s expecting to get. If an activity releases a lot of dopamine, you’ll be motivated to repeat it, over and over. So which behavior releases dopamine? Any activity where you expect there’s a possible reward releases it.
And in today’s digital society, we are flooding our brains with unnaturally high amounts of dopamine on a daily basis, even if we don’t know it. Some examples of high dopamine behavior include: visiting social media websites, playing video games, etc.
And you might think, “Oh so what? It’s not like it’s harming me in any way.” But you’d be wrong. Our bodies have a biologically balanced system. Whenever an imbalance occurs, our body adapts to it. Basically, your brain gets used to having high levels of dopamine and those levels become your new normal. Thus, you develop a dopamine tolerance. This can be a huge problem because the things that don’t give you as much dopamine don’t interest you any longer. That’s why people tend to prefer playing video games or surfing the Internet, compared to studying or working on their business.
But it is possible to make doing difficult things feel easier. Separate yourself from the unnaturally high amounts of dopamine, or at least expose yourself to it far less frequently. Only then will normal, everyday, low dopamine activities become exciting again and you’ll be able to do them for longer. That’s why you might want to limit your phone and computer usage, along with other high dopamine-releasing behavior.
We are all dopamine addicts to a certain extent. And that’s a good thing because dopamine motivates us to achieve our goals and improve ourselves. But it’s up to you to decide where you’re going to get your dopamine.
8. When is dopamine released?
A. When tough things come into being. B. When we are encouraged to do things.
C. When we take pleasure in the behavior. D. When possible rewards can be obtained.
9. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Dopamine does great harm to our body. B. It’s difficult for our body to keep the balance.
C. Video games produce more dopamine than study. D. Dopamine tolerance keeps us away from social media.
10. What is the purpose of the fifth paragraph?
A. To explain why dopamine is harmful. B. To introduce the effects of dopamine.
C. To stress the importance of dopamine. D. To offer solutions to dopamine tolerance.
11. What is the author’s attitude toward dopamine?
A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C. Concerned. D. Negative.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了多巴胺和我们的动力以及数字社会中高多巴胺行为对人们的影响。高多巴胺行为会让人们越来越依赖它,导致对一些低多巴胺行为的兴趣下降,影响学习或工作。文章建议减少高多巴胺行为的频率,让日常的低多巴胺行为变得更有吸引力。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“So which behavior releases dopamine? Any activity where you expect there’s a possible reward releases it.(那么哪种行为会释放多巴胺呢?任何你预期会有奖励的活动都会释放它。)”可知,在可能的情况下获得奖励,该活动则会释放多巴胺。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“This can be a huge problem because the things that don’t give you as much dopamine don’t interest you any longer. That’s why people tend to prefer playing video games or surfing the Internet, compared to studying or working on their business.(这可能是一个巨大的问题,因为那些没有给你那么多多巴胺的东西不再让你感兴趣了。这就是为什么与学习或工作相比,人们更喜欢玩电子游戏或上网。)”可知,不能一直让你产生多巴胺的活动则不会在让你感兴趣,这也就是为什么学习或者从事自己的业务比不上游戏或者上网,因为游戏或者上网可以一直让你产生多巴胺即电子游戏比学习产生更多的多巴胺。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“ Basically, your brain gets used to having high levels of dopamine and those levels become your new normal. Thus, you develop a dopamine tolerance. (基本上,你的大脑习惯了高水平的多巴胺,这些水平成为你的新常态。因此,你会产生多巴胺耐受性。)”可知,此处提出了人的大脑习惯了高水平的多巴胺,因此会产生多巴胺耐受的问题。同时根据第五段中“Separate yourself from the unnaturally high amounts of dopamine, or at least expose yourself to it far less frequently. Only then will normal, everyday, low dopamine activities become exciting again and you’ll be able to do them for longer. (让自己远离不自然的大量多巴胺,或者至少让自己少接触多巴胺。只有这样,正常的、日常的、低多巴胺的活动才会再次变得令人兴奋,你才能做得更长。)”可知,此处主要强调的是如何避免或者解决多巴胺的耐受问题即远离不自然的大量多巴胺,或者至少让自己少接触多巴胺。故本段的目的是为多巴胺耐受性提供解决方案。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Dopamine (多巴胺) is often considered as the source of pleasure. But that’s not quite what it does. Dopamine is what makes us desire things. (多巴胺通常被认为是快乐的来源。但这并不完全是它的作用。多巴胺让我们产生欲望。)”以及倒数第三段中“Thus, you develop a dopamine tolerance. This can be a huge problem because the things that don’t give you as much dopamine don’t interest you any longer. That’s why people tend to prefer playing video games or surfing the Internet, compared to studying or working on their business.( 因此,你会产生多巴胺耐受性。这可能是一个大问题,因为不能给你那么多多巴胺的事情不再让你感兴趣。这就是为什么人们更喜欢玩电子游戏或上网,而不是学习或从事自己的业务。)”以及最后一段中“We are all dopamine addicts to a certain extent. And that’s a good thing because dopamine motivates us to achieve our goals and improve ourselves. But it’s up to you to decide where you’re going to get your dopamine.(在某种程度上,我们都是多巴胺成瘾者。这是一件好事,因为多巴胺会激励我们实现目标,提高自我。但从哪里获得多巴胺取决于你自己。)”可知,作者指出多巴胺可以是快乐的源泉,能够激励我们实现目标,提高自我,可是同时容易出现多巴胺耐受状况,出现游戏、网络上瘾最终舍弃自己的学习或者业务,因此作者对多巴胺的态度是客观的。故选B。
D
Is it time to put the brakes on the development of artificial intelligence? If you've quietly asked yourself that question, you're not alone. In late March, a group of AI experts signed an open letter calling for a six-month pause on the development of more powerful models than GPT-4; European researchers called for tighter AI regulations; and long-time AI researcher Yudkowsky demanded a complete shutdown of AI development.
Meanwhile, the industry shows no sign of slowing down. In March, a senior AI executive at Microsoft spoke of “very, very high” pressure from chief executive to get GPT-4 and other new models to the public “at a very high speed ”. GPT-4 is much larger and has been trained on significantly more data. Like other large language models, GPT-4 works by guessing the next word in response to prompts(提示). In tests, it passed legal and medical exams, and can write software better than professionals in many cases. And its full range of abilities is yet to be discovered.
GPT-4 and models like it are likely to have huge effects across many layers of society. They could facilitate personalized phishing(网络钓鱼) attacks, produce disinformation at scale, and be used to hack through the net -work security around computer systems. Open AI's own research suggests models like GPT-4 are “general-purpose technologies” which will influence 80 percent of the US workforce. Professions such as customer services, primary translations and editing, and security guard will be greatly impacted. Moreover, technology is accelerating much faster than our ability to understand and regulate it. If we're not careful, it will also drive changes that are too fast for safety. The US sociologist E. O. Wilson described the dangers of change like so: “The real problem of humanity is the following: we have Paleolithic(旧石器时代的) emotions, medieval(中世纪的) institutions and god-like technology.”
I believe a wise course of action is to slow down and think about where we want to take these technologies. It is not about stopping, but rather moving at a sustainable pace of progress. We can choose to steer this technology, rather than assume it has a life of its own we can't control.
12. How is the first paragraph mainly developed?
A. By listing reasons.
B. By giving examples.
C. By making comparisons.
D. By analyzing cause and effect.
13. What do we know about GPT-4?
A. It has no match in software writing.
B AI experts have stopped its development.
C. We don't have a clear picture of what it can do.
D. It works by creating the next word with no need for prompts.
14. Which of the following does E .O. Wilson probably agree with?
A. We manage to keep up with AI Technology.
B. We can be taken back to ancient times by AI Technology.
C. AI Technology is developing too fast and beyond our control.
D. AI Technology has a minor impact on different fields of society.
15. What might be a suitable title for the text?
A. Time to Adjust to AI B. Time to Go Slow on AI
C. An Urgent Stop to AI D. A Significant Progress of AI
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。讲述了AI技术了发展太快,技术的发展速度远远快于我们理解和管理它的能力。作者呼吁我们要放缓AI技术的发展速度。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。文章第一段第三句“In late March, a group of AI experts signed an open letter calling for a six-month pause on the development of more powerful models than GPT-4; European researchers called for tighter AI regulations; and long-time AI researcher Yudkowsky demanded a complete shutdown of AI development.”(3月下旬,一组人工智能专家签署了一封公开信,呼吁暂停开发比GPT-4更强大的模型六个月;欧洲研究人员呼吁加强人工智能监管;长期从事人工智能研究的尤德考斯基要求完全停止人工智能开发。)可知,作者列举了三个例子说明很多人要求暂停人工智能的发展。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。文章第二段最后一句“And its full range of abilities is yet to be discovered.”(它的全部能力还有待发现)。可知,对于GPT-4的能力,即它能做什么还不清楚。故选C项。
14题详解】
推理判断题。文章第三段最后一句“The US sociologist E. O. Wilson described the dangers of change like so: “The real problem of humanity is the following: we have Paleolithic(旧石器时代的) emotions, medieval(中世纪的) institutions and god-like technology.””(美国社会学家E.O.Wilson这样描述变革的危险:“人类真正的问题是:我们有旧石器时代 情绪,中世纪的机构和上帝般的技术。”)可知,E. O. Wilson 将AI技术描绘为上帝般的技术,他的言下之意是我们无法掌控AI技术。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章最后一段“I believe a wise course of action is to slow down and think about where we want to take these technologies. It is not about stopping, but rather moving at a sustainable pace of progress. We can choose to steer this technology, rather than assume it has a life of its own we can't control.”(我认为明智的做法是放慢脚步,思考我们想把这些技术带到哪里去。这不是要停下来,而是要以可持续的速度前进。我们可以选择引导这项技术,而不是假设它有一个我们无法控制的生命。)可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是呼吁放慢速度,减缓AI技术的发展。故选B项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是孙子在《孙子兵法》里讲的一些理念。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:《孙子兵法》是人类历史上最具影响力的军事书籍之一,流传了2000多年。空格处用形容词作定语,修饰名词短语military books,influence的形容词是influential,意为“有影响力的”,故填influential。
【37题详解】
考查时态,语态和主谓一致。句意:《孙子兵法》是人类历史上最具影响力的军事书籍之一,流传了2000多年。由for more than 2,000 years可知,空格处时态是现在完成时,《孙子兵法》这本书是被读,因此空格处是现在完成时的被动语态,主语Sun Zi Bingfa, or The Art of War是单数,因此空格处是has been read,故填has been read。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:孙子于公元前532年移居吴国,后来完成了由13篇文章组成的伟大军事著作,在那部著作里他充分展示了他对战争的洞察力。句中谓语是moved...and later completed,空格处用非谓语动词,work和compose之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此空格处用过去分词表被动,故填composed。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:孙子于公元前532年移居吴国,后来完成了由13篇文章组成的伟大军事著作,在那部著作里他充分展示了他对战争的洞察力。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句,从句中不缺主语或宾语,先行词work是抽象地点,因此空格处用关系副词where,故填where。
【40题详解】
考查动名词。句意:他建议在制定战争计划之前先分析一下双方之间的情况。suggest doing sth.是固定短语,意为“建议做某事”,因此空格处用动名词analyzing作宾语,故填analyzing。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意:他强调得胜的将军必须像熟悉自己一样熟悉敌人。根据语境可知,句子表示“他强调得胜的将军必须像熟悉自己一样熟悉敌人”,空格处是“be familiar with”,为了避免重复,省去be familiar,保留介词with,故填with。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意:他还解释了两种决定性因素:一种是客观的、稳定的因素,如军队的战斗力。由the和of可知,空格处是名词,effective的名词是effectiveness,意为“战斗力”,是不可数名词。故填effectiveness。
【43题详解】
考查定冠词。句意:他认为国家之间的经济竞争是战争的本质。空格处用定冠词the特指战争的本质。故填the。
【44题详解】
考查不定式。句意:与此同时,战争的最高艺术和目的是用战略打败敌人,而不仅仅是武力。由空前的the supreme art and goal可知,空格处用不定式作表语,故填to defeat。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:他的精神和智慧独特地提醒我们,和平是我们应该追求的共同目标。空格处用副词uniquely修饰动词remind,uniquely意为“独特地”。故填uniquely。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a hot day in the middle of July. I decided to walk to the neighborhood store where it sold my favorite thing, ice cream. I pulled a friend towards the ice cream store, almost passing out from the burning sun on the way.
As we walked on, my friend kept saying that it was too hot. She thought that she was stupid to decide to come with me to buy ice cream. I felt sorry and tried to encourage her. “We're almost there. Just think of the cool and sweet taste of ice cream in your mouth. It'll be worth the walk,” I told her. But I had to admit that the store was quite a distance from our houses. During the journey, my mouth began to become dry and I wanted to drink.
When we were about a block away from the store, I noticed an old lady who was walking in our direction. She was about 70 years old. She had a big back problem, so she was unable to keep her back straight. She was struggling, pushing a shopping cart full of things like the soap, bread and water. With each step toward her, we began to see her appearance more clearly. It appeared that she was often unhappy and easy to get angry.
I looked at my friend to see if she had noticed her. I could see that she had and that she disliked the old lady due to the lady's appearance. As we approached the lady pushing the shopping cart, my friend directed me away from the old lady and the cart.
I began to observe other passers-by. They were also trying to avoid her. Suddenly I heard a terrible sound behind me. I quickly turned around to see what it was. I found the lady's cart had been knocked over by something on the ground.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

Things in the shopping cart like the soap all dropped on the ground.

Then my friend continued walking on while I went to the lady.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Things in the shopping cart like the soap all dropped on the ground. I watched in shock as the lady bent down slowly and tried hard to collect her things. I turned to my friend and asked, “Shall we go and help her?” “It is not we who knocked her shopping cart over,” my friend said impatiently, walking ahead. I stood there for a moment, suddenly feeling sorry for this pitiful lady. “I'll help her,” I said with determination.
Paragraph 2:
Then my friend continued walking on while I went to the lady. “Let me help you,” I said as I helped her get the cart up. The lady looked up and said tearfully, “Thank you!” Then I helped her put things back into her cart. To my surprise, some passers-by joined me, including my friend. With everything put into her cart, my friend and I helped push it to her house. If it were not for the incident, we would have had delicious ice cream to eat, but we didn't feel regretful, for what we did was meaningful.
