The email subject line grabbed my attention: “Still interested in the car?” I took a deep breath, my fingers shaking over the computer mouse.
Mom’s car, a convertible (敞篷车), was a timeless beauty. Some of my favorite childhood memories were of us riding in it. Mom always wore her big sunglasses. I felt like I was riding with a super star.
Now, more than 30 years later, whenever I see a classic car drive by, those memories would flood back, and they were all I had left of Mom. She died when I was only 15. And with all of the changes that came after, many of her things were given away or sold. The car had been bought by a collector in Michigan. I had connected with him when I was in my early twenties, asking if he might ever be interested in selling. But he politely refused. However, I couldn’t let go of the idea.
Now here was this email. I opened it. “I have several people who have asked to purchase that classic car,” it read. “It’s time to sell, but I want to give you the first option to buy if you’re still interested.”
“Absolutely! ”I typed, and then started working out the route of driving from Kentucky to Michigan to buy the car.
Finally, I was in front of the car. It was sitting in the driveway, washed and waxed. I hurried over to greet the collector. He shook my hand, and then went into the house to grab the documents for the car.
Later the collector returned carrying a small bag. I handed him the check. “I found this when I was cleaning the car a few days ago,” he said, passing me the bag.
I opened the bag. “Mom’s sunglasses!” I cried.
24. Why did the writer’s fingers shake when he read the email?
A. He was born with Parkinson’s disease.
B. It revealed some secrets about his mom.
C. He was too nervous and frightened to recall the memories with his mom.
D. He was surprised and excited that he could buy back his mom’s beloved car.
25. How did the author feel in paragraph 5?
A. Hesitant. B. Eager. C. Determined. D. Reluctant.
26. Why did the author cry in the end?
A. He owned the car finally.
B. He can be a super star with the sunglasses.
C. The sunglasses reminded the author of his mom.
D. The sunglasses were a precious gift given by his mother.
27. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Buy Back Mom’s Car B. An Encounter with a Collector
C. Receive a Mysterious E-mail D. Mom, a Super Star in My Heart
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. A

I felt like I was riding with a super star.(妈妈的车是一辆敞篷车,它是一辆永恒的经典美车。我童年最珍贵的记忆之一就是和妈妈开着它兜风。妈妈总是戴着那副大大的墨镜,我觉得自己就像是和一位超级明星一起兜风。)”、文章第三段“The car had been bought by a collector in Michigan. I had connected with him when I was in my early twenties, asking if he might ever be interested in selling. But he politely refused. However, I couldn’t let go of the idea.(这辆车被密歇根州的一位收藏家买走了。我二十出头的时候就联系过他,问他是否愿意出售。但他礼貌地拒绝了。然而,我无法放弃这个想法。)”和文章第四段“Now here was this email. I opened it. “I have several people who have asked to purchase that classic car,” it read. “It’s time to sell, but I want to give you the first option to buy if you’re still interested.”(这是这封邮件。我打开了它。“有几个人要求购买那辆老爷车,”它写道。“是时候卖了,但如果你仍然感兴趣,我想给你第一个购买的选择。”)”可知,作者在读到邮件时,手指颤抖,因为邮件中提到可以让他买回妈妈心爱的车,这让作者感到非常惊喜和兴奋。故选D。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段““Absolutely! ”I typed, and then started working out the route of driving from Kentucky to Michigan to buy the car.(“当然!”我回复道,然后开始规划从肯塔基州开车到密歇根州买车的路线。)”可知,作者给了肯定答复,并且开始计划从肯塔基州开车到密歇根州去买车,这表明他非常渴望买回这辆车,因此他的情绪是急切的。故选B。

Elephants call out to each other using individual names that they invent for their fellows, a study said on Monday.
While dolphins and parrots have been observed addressing each other by mimicking (模仿) the sound of others from their species, elephants are the first non-human animals known to use names that do not involve imitation, the researchers suggested.
For the new study, a team of international researchers used an artificial intelligence algarithm (算法) to analyse the calls of two wild herds of African savannah elephants in Kenya.
The research “not only shows that elephants use specific vocalizations (嗓音) for each individual, but that they recognize and react to a call addressed to them while ignoring those addressed to others,” lead study author Michael Pardo said.
“This indicates that elephants can determine whether a call was intended for them just by hearing the call, even when out of its original context,” the behavioral ecologist at Colorado State University said in a statement.
The researchers sifted through elephant “rumbles” recorded at Kenya’s Samburu National Reserve and Amboseli National Park between 1986 and 2022.
Using a machine learning algorithm, they identified 469 distinct calls, which included 101elephants issuing a call and 117 receiving one.
Elephants make a wide range of sounds, from loud trumpeting to rumbles so low that cannot be heard by the human ear.
Names were not always used in the elephant calls. But when names were called out, it was often over a long distance, and when adults were addressing young elephants.
Adults were also more likely to use names than calves, suggesting it could take years to learn this particular talent.
The most common call was “a harmonically rich, low-frequency sound,” according to the study.
28. According to the first two paragraphs, what is special about elephants?
A. They can imitate other species. B. They can mimic the sound of others.
C. They can invent individual names to call. D. They can call out to each other very loudly.
29. What does the research show?
A. Elephants use a fixed vocalization for each other.
B. Elephants ignore the calls intended to themselves.
C. Elephants recognize and react to the calls addressed to others.
D. Elephants can tell whether they are addressed by hearing the call.
30. Which of the following is true?
A. Elephants’ sounds can all be heard by human.
B. Elephants prefer to call out names at any time.
C. Adult elephants can call out young elephants’ names.
D. Young elephants are born to use names to call each other.
31. In which column of a website can you see this passage?
A. Nature. B. Health. C. Fashion. D. Education.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现大象会称呼同伴的名字,解释了研究开展的经过和发现。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Elephants call out to each other using individual names that they invent for their fellows, a study said on Monday.(本周一公布的一项研究显示,大象会用自己发明的名字来称呼同伴)”可知,大象特别之处是可以发明单独的名字来叫。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段““This indicates that elephants can determine whether a call was intended for them just by hearing the call, even when out of its original context,” the behavioral ecologist at Colorado State University said in a statement.(科罗拉多州立大学的行为生态学家在一份声明中说:“这表明大象可以通过听到叫声来确定是否是针对它们的,即使不是在原始环境中。”)”可知,研究表明了大象可以通过听到叫声来判断它们是否被称呼。故选D。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“But when names were called out, it was often over a long distance, and when adults were addressing young elephants.(但是当叫名字的时候,通常是在很远的地方,而且是在成年大象对小象说话的时候)”可知,C选项“成年大象能叫出小象的名字”正确。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Elephants call out to each other using individual names that they invent for their fellows, a study said on Monday.(本周一公布的一项研究显示,大象会用自己发明的名字来称呼同伴)”结合文章主要说明了研究发现大象会称呼同伴的名字,解释了研究开展的经过和发现。可知,文章选自网站的“自然”专栏。故选A。

For the last three years, the volunteer team of students from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) has been providing technological support for many desperate parents looking for their children by restoring photos. The team has reunited 11 missing children with their families. Its AI technology has increased the odds of finding missing children, reduced search time and brought hope to many families.
The team was founded by Sheng Jianzhong three years ago, when he was a doctoral student at HUST’s School of Software Engineering. He first thought to restore photographs of missing children when he came across a missing child notice with an image of poor quality in 2020. As he was majoring in digital image processing, he decided to use his skills to help the parents restore their images.
However, the development of an image restoration algorithm requires the construction of a large database, which cannot be completed by one person alone. Many like-minded students soon volunteered to join Sheng’s project. After six months of detailed technological research and development, they produced an image restoration AI algorithm that solved the issue of unclear faces in photographs.
A restored image can be generated just minutes after an unclear portrait is put into the system, significantly improving the clarity of facial features. Parents are then able to print the high-quality images of their missing children onto T-shirts or large posters. The volunteers have also made tapes and postcards with the restored photos to expand the scale of searches.
In the future, Sheng plans to build a more professional team. “It would use technology to help people who have lost their loved ones, and also cultivate more young scholars to work for good causes,” he said.
32. Which word can replace the underlined word “odds” in paragraph l?
A. probability B. risk C. difficulty D. number
33. What is Sheng’s inspiration for image restoration?
A. More and more children's missing. B. The development of AI technology.
C. His major in digital image processing. D. A missing child notice with an unclear image.
34. Which of the following statement about Sheng Jianzhong is right?
A. He solved the issue of unclear faces in photos alone.
B. After he got his doctor's degree, he founded the team.
C. His team hasn't reunited children with their families so far.
D. He plans to call on more professionals to participate in the cause.
35. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Family reunion matters most. B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. AI helps missing children return home. D. Good causes deserve people's participation.
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲述了华中科技大学的一支志愿者团队如何利用AI技术帮助寻找失踪儿童的故事。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“reduced search time and brought hope to many families.”(缩短了搜寻时间,给许多家庭带来了希望。)可知,它的AI技术提高了找到失踪儿童的可能性,由此可推知,这里的odds指的是可能性,故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段 “He first thought to restore photographs of missing children when he came across a missing child notice with an image of poor quality in 2020.”(当他在2020年看到一份带有质量差的图片的失踪儿童通知时,他首先想到的是恢复失踪儿童的照片)可推知,Sheng恢复图像的灵感来源于一份带有模糊图像的失踪儿童通知,故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“In the future, Sheng plans to build a more professional team.”(在未来,盛建中计划建立一个更专业的团队)可推知,他计划呼吁更多的专业人士参与这个事业,故选D。

根据上文“Soil moving away from foundations.(土壤离开地基。)”、“Sunken (凹陷的) or down-dropped road beds.(道路凹陷或下降。)”可知,空处和上文并列列举一些滑坡发生前的迹象。C项:New cracks or unusual parts sticking out from the ground(新的裂缝或不寻常的部分从地面伸出)符合语境。故选C。
【38题详解】
根据下文“Stay alert. Listen for warnings of heavy rainfall. Be aware that heavy, short bursts of rain may be particularly dangerous.(保持警惕。留意强降雨的警告。请注意,短时暴雨可能特别危险。)”可知,空处引起下文,指出山体滑坡来临时的一些正确的行为能保证安全。F项:When a landslide comes, correct behavior can guarantee your safety(当山体滑坡来临时,正确的行为可以保证你的安全)符合语境。故选F。
【39题详解】
根据下文“If you are trapped in the path of a landslide, curl up into a tight ball and protect your head.(如果你被困在滑坡的路径上,蜷缩成一个紧密的球,保护你的头。)”可知,下文提到的是无法逃脱时应该采取的自我保护措施,因此可能会出现无法逃脱的情况。A项:In some cases, you may not be able to escape(在某些情况下,你可能无法逃脱)符合语境。故选A。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Finally, if you manage to escape, avoid the area where the landslide occurred.(最后,如果你设法逃脱,请避开发生滑坡的地区。)”可知,空处解释避开发生滑坡地区的原因。E项:Landslides may happen more than once at the same location(滑坡可能在同一地点发生不止一次)符合语境。故选E。

67. 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。
There were many embarrassing times and situations when I was in primary school. I vividly remember a moment that I still regret to this day.
During my childhood, an important part of my time was spent on my collection of National Geographic magazines. Each year on my birthday, my mother would gift me a new magazine to add to my growing collection, which I treasured very much. One day, when I was seven, I ran across a picture of a bologna tree. However, I didn't actually read the article about the tree. I just thought I discovered the source of bologna sandwiches! Little did I know that this newfound knowledge would come back to trouble me in the future.
Not long after, I found an opportunity to show my rich knowledge and prove to my classmates that I was indeed a smart kid. During a classroom discussion about unusual things, I took the moment to confidently stand up in front of the whole class. With an air of authority, I declared, “It is a well-known fact that bologna sandwiches come from the bologna tree.”
I deeply believe that the delicious sandwiches I had tasted during a family vacation to Italy grow on trees. This extremely silly opinion was a source of both embarrassment and frustration for me. However, my teacher Ms Murphy at this moment was kind enough to smile and tell me that my misconception (错误想法) was “quite imaginative”. Unfortunately, my classmates didn't have the same opinion, as they laughed loudly and declared that my belief was “the stupidest thing they had ever heard”. It was a moment that made me feel foolish and ashamed.
For a while after that incident, I was filled with feelings of self-doubt and insecurity. I was ashamed of my inability to distinguish (辨别) fact from imagination. I felt like a clown (小丑), thinking that my classmates would never let me forget my foolish mistake.
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。
For the next couple of weeks, I was determined to avoid any further embarrassment.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I began to share information with my classmates again and became more careful about the information.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
For the next couple of weeks, I was determined to avoid any further embarrassment. I refused to open the magazines and kept my mouth shut during classes. I felt like I was walking on eggshells, constantly worried that I might say something foolish. I was afraid to share my opinions or ask questions. As a result, I became increasingly isolated. I didn’t participate in any activities that might show my ignorance until Ms Murphy talked with me, enlightening me patiently. My spirits lifted, and I felt cheerful once more.
I began to share information with my classmates again and became more careful about the information. I started to double-check my sources and read articles in their entirety before sharing any information with others, unwilling to make the same mistake twice. It was a lesson learned the hard way, but it made me realize the importance of confirming information before presenting it to others. And while my bologna tree story might have been a bit embarrassing at the time, it ultimately taught me an important lesson that has stayed with me throughout my life.

The email subject line grabbed my attention: “Still interested in the car?” I took a deep breath, my fingers shaking over the computer mouse.
Mom’s car, a convertible (敞篷车), was a timeless beauty. Some of my favorite childhood memories were of us riding in it. Mom always wore her big sunglasses. I felt like I was riding with a super star.
Now, more than 30 years later, whenever I see a classic car drive by, those memories would flood back, and they were all I had left of Mom. She died when I was only 15. And with all of the changes that came after, many of her things were given away or sold. The car had been bought by a collector in Michigan. I had connected with him when I was in my early twenties, asking if he might ever be interested in selling. But he politely refused. However, I couldn’t let go of the idea.
Now here was this email. I opened it. “I have several people who have asked to purchase that classic car,” it read. “It’s time to sell, but I want to give you the first option to buy if you’re still interested.”
“Absolutely! ”I typed, and then started working out the route of driving from Kentucky to Michigan to buy the car.
Finally, I was in front of the car. It was sitting in the driveway, washed and waxed. I hurried over to greet the collector. He shook my hand, and then went into the house to grab the documents for the car.
Later the collector returned carrying a small bag. I handed him the check. “I found this when I was cleaning the car a few days ago” he said, passing me the bag.
I opened the bag. “Mom’s sunglasses!” I cried.

Elephants call out to each other using individual names that they invent for their fellows, a study said on Monday.
While dolphins and parrots have been observed addressing each other by mimicking (模仿) the sound of others from their species, elephants are the first non-human animals known to use names that do not involve imitation, the researchers suggested.
For the new study, a team of international researchers used an artificial intelligence algarithm (算法) to analyse the calls of two wild herds of African savannah elephants in Kenya.
The research “not only shows that elephants use specific vocalizations (嗓音) for each individual, but that they recognize and react to a call addressed to them while ignoring those addressed to others,” lead study author Michael Pardo said.
“This indicates that elephants can determine whether a call was intended for them just by hearing the call, even when out of its original context,” the behavioral ecologist at Colorado State University said in a statement.
The researchers sifted through elephant “rumbles” recorded at Kenya’s Samburu National Reserve and Amboseli National Park between 1986 and 2022.
Using a machine learning algorithm, they identified 469 distinct calls, which included 101elephants issuing a call and 117 receiving one.
Elephants make a wide range of sounds, from loud trumpeting to rumbles so low that cannot be heard by the human ear.
Names were not always used in the elephant calls. But when names were called out, it was often over a long distance, and when adults were addressing young elephants.
Adults were also more likely to use names than calves, suggesting it could take years to learn this particular talent.
The most common call was “a harmonically rich, low-frequency sound,” according to the study.
28. According to the first two paragraphs, what is special about elephants?
A. They can imitate other species. B. They can mimic the sound of others.
C. They can invent individual names to call. D. They can call out to each other very loudly.
29. What does the research show?
A. Elephants use a fixed vocalization for each other.
B. Elephants ignore the calls intended to themselves.
C. Elephants recognize and react to the calls addressed to others.
D. Elephants can tell whether they are addressed by hearing the call.
30. Which of the following is true?
A. Elephants’ sounds can all be heard by human.
B. Elephants prefer to call out names at any time.
C. Adult elephants can call out young elephants’ names.
D. Young elephants are born to use names to call each other.
31. In which column of a website can you see this passage?
A. Nature. B. Health. C. Fashion. D. Education.
D
For the last three years, the volunteer team of students from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) has been providing technological support for many desperate parents looking for their children by restoring photos. The team has reunited 11 missing children with their families. Its AI technology has increased the odds of finding missing children, reduced search time and brought hope to many families.
The team was founded by Sheng Jianzhong three years ago, when he was a doctoral student at HUST’s School of Software Engineering. He first thought to restore photographs of missing children when he came across a missing child notice with an image of poor quality in 2020. As he was majoring in digital image processing, he decided to use his skills to help the parents restore their images.
However, the development of an image restoration algorithm requires the construction of a large database, which cannot be completed by one person alone. Many like-minded students soon volunteered to join Sheng’s project. After six months of detailed technological research and development, they produced an image restoration AI algorithm that solved the issue of unclear faces in photographs.
A restored image can be generated just minutes after an unclear portrait is put into the system, significantly improving the clarity of facial features. Parents are then able to print the high-quality images of their missing children onto T-shirts or large posters. The volunteers have also made tapes and postcards with the restored photos to expand the scale of searches.
In the future, Sheng plans to build a more professional team. “It would use technology to help people who have lost their loved ones, and also cultivate more young scholars to work for good causes,” he said.
32. Which word can replace the underlined word “odds” in paragraph l?
A. probability B. risk C. difficulty D. number
33. What is Sheng’s inspiration for image restoration?
A. More and more children's missing. B. The development of AI technology.
C. His major in digital image processing. D. A missing child notice with an unclear image.
34. Which of the following statement about Sheng Jianzhong is right?
A. He solved the issue of unclear faces in photos alone.
B. After he got his doctor's degree, he founded the team.
C. His team hasn't reunited children with their families so far.
D. He plans to call on more professionals to participate in the cause.
35. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Family reunion matters most. B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. AI helps missing children return home. D. Good causes deserve people's participation.

67. 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。
There were many embarrassing times and situations when I was in primary school. I vividly remember a moment that I still regret to this day.
During my childhood, an important part of my time was spent on my collection of National Geographic magazines. Each year on my birthday, my mother would gift me a new magazine to add to my growing collection, which I treasured very much. One day, when I was seven, I ran across a picture of a bologna tree. However, I didn't actually read the article about the tree. I just thought I discovered the source of bologna sandwiches! Little did I know that this newfound knowledge would come back to trouble me in the future.
Not long after, I found an opportunity to show my rich knowledge and prove to my classmates that I was indeed a smart kid. During a classroom discussion about unusual things, I took the moment to confidently stand up in front of the whole class. With an air of authority, I declared, “It is a well-known fact that bologna sandwiches come from the bologna tree.”
I deeply believe that the delicious sandwiches I had tasted during a family vacation to Italy grow on trees. This extremely silly opinion was a source of both embarrassment and frustration for me. However, my teacher Ms Murphy at this moment was kind enough to smile and tell me that my misconception (错误想法) was “quite imaginative”. Unfortunately, my classmates didn't have the same opinion, as they laughed loudly and declared that my belief was “the stupidest thing they had ever heard”. It was a moment that made me feel foolish and ashamed.
For a while after that incident, I was filled with feelings of self-doubt and insecurity. I was ashamed of my inability to distinguish (辨别) fact from imagination. I felt like a clown (小丑), thinking that my classmates would never let me forget my foolish mistake.
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。
For the next couple of weeks, I was determined to avoid any further embarrassment.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I began to share information with my classmates again and became more careful about the information.
