There are many free meditation apps that offer guided sessions, calming playlists. Headspace This app is simple and approachable for meditation beginners. Most of the free sessions focus on teaching the users how to meditate and easing them into the practice, while also acknowledging that meditation can be difficult. Yet to get into the really good stuff, you need to pay for the full membership. Insight Timer The app offers a multitude of meditation bells and calming musical notes during self-guided meditations. Featuring a variety of professional instructors and courses, Insight Timer also offers more contents for free users than other apps. Although the free option is extensive, the premium version (高级版) offers courses, downloadable meditations, night mode, and daily insights. Meditation Studio The app groups all its free meditations together, so it’s easy to use it without paying. These meditations run from 5 to 30 minutes and are available for download, a feature that other apps typically reserve for premium members. The number of free contents, however, is limited and included mostly basics. The design of the app is also relatively plain. Breethe: Meditation & Sleep A nice feature about Breethe is the calming background music that plays while the app is open, even without opening a meditation or music. Breethe offers a lot of sleep contents, including visualizations and bedtime stories. The app does offer a few 7-day courses for free, but the majority (1,000-plus meditations) is locked behind the paywall. 21. Which app is completely free of charge? A. Headspace. B. Insight Timer. C. Meditation Studio. D. Breethe: Meditation & Sleep. 22. What is special about Headspace? A. Courses from professional coaches. B. Advanced instructions of meditation. C. Bedtime stories and calming background music. D. Guidelines on how to get into meditation at the beginning. 23. What do Insight Timer and Breethe: Meditation & Sleep have in common? A. They have a night mode set. B. They provide contents on sleep. C. They have calming background music. D. They offer free contents of the same period. 【答案】21. C 22. D 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四款不同的冥想应用软件供冥想爱好者选择。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Meditation Studio部分中“The app groups all its free meditations together, so it’s easy to use it without paying. (该应用程序将所有的免费冥想集中在一起，因此无需付费就可以轻松使用)”可知，该应用软件可以免费使用。故选C项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Headspace部分中“This app is simple and approachable for meditation beginners. Most of the free sessions focus on teaching the users how to meditate and easing them into the practice, while also acknowledging that meditation can be difficult. (这个应用程序对冥想初学者来说是简单的和可接近的。大多数免费课程的重点是教用户如何冥想，并让他们放松练习，同时也承认冥想可能很难)”可知，该应用软件为初学者提供进入冥想状态的指导。故选D项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Insight Timer部分中“The app offers a multitude of meditation bells and calming musical notes during self-guided meditations. (这款应用程序在自我引导的冥想过程中提供了大量的冥想铃声和平静的音符)”和Breethe: Meditation & Sleep部分中“A nice feature about Breethe is the calming background music that plays while the app is open, even without opening a meditation or music. (Breethe的一个不错的功能是，即使在没有打开冥想或音乐的情况下，应用程序打开时也会播放平静的背景音乐)”可知，这两款软件都会提供令人平静的背景音乐。故选C项。 B Aspirin has long been believed to help prevent heart attacks and strokes(中风).Some studies have shown that it also has a protective effect against certain types of cancer. As a result, some people religiously pop a low-dose(低剂量的) aspirin after breakfast every day (never take one on an empty stomach). But now its status as a wonder drug has come into question, following a meta-analysis of trial evidence. A meta-analysis reviews the results of a large number of trials and can therefore come to more certain conclusions. This latest review was published this May in The Journal of the American Medical Association.It focused on the connection between aspirin use and cardiovascular(心血管的) and bleeding events. It found that the well-known risk that aspirin can cause internal bleeding is as great as the benefits of preventing heart attacks and strokes. In some cases, the risk even outweighs the benefits. Aspirin thins the blood, thus helping to prevent blood clots (血栓). For his reason, it is a good drug for protecting people who have already had a heart attack or stroke from having another. However, the 164,225 people in these trials had no history of cardiovascular disease. They were monitored for an average of six years, during which time they took a daily aspirin or placebo(安慰剂).Among those who took aspirin, there were about 11% fewer heart attacks and strokes but 43% higher likelihood of a major bleeding episode in the stomach, brain or intestine(肠道). Dr Sean Zheng, a cardiology(心脏病学) researcher at King’s College London, said that taking a daily aspirin couldn’t be recommended for healthy people. But there might still be a case for people with a higher risk of a heart attack or stroke, he added. However, it would be important to consider the bleeding risk. “Aspirin use requires discussion between the patient and their physician, with the knowledge that any small potential cardiovascular benefits are weighed up against the real risk of severe bleeding." he said. The findings reflect the average likelihood of bleeds or heart attacks among the patients in all the trials. There will be people among them who would be better off taking aspirin and those who will be worse. It's yet another situation where we need to weigh up our individual risk and benefit--- maybe with the help of an understanding GP. 24. Which of the following is NOT a reason why some people take an aspirin every day? A. They want to lower their risk of having a heart attack B. They hope to protect themselves against some cancers C. They want to ensure they don't have a sick stomach D. They aim to make sure they won't suffer another stroke 25. What can be concluded from the recent meta-analysis? A. That aspirin does more harm than good to the human body B. That aspirin frequently causes internal bleeding because it thins the blood C. That previous research into the effects of aspirin on the human body was unreliable. D. That taking aspirin is not worth the risk or those with no history of heart tacks or strokes. 26. What should people do before taking aspirin, according to the article? A. To have a thorough physical examination B. To ask for others' opinions on the internet. C. To read the findings of new studies on aspirin D. To talk with a doctor familiar with their condition 27. The article was probably written by ________ A. the director of a hospital B. a public health journalist C. the CEO of a medical company D. a representative for an insurance company 【答案】24 C 25. D 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了关于阿司匹林的新发现——经过对试验证据的荟萃分析，阿司匹林作为一种神奇药物的地位受到质疑——服用也有风险。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Aspirin has long been believed to help prevent heart attacks and strokes(中风).Some studies have shown that it also has a protective effect against certain types of cancer. As a result, some people religiously pop a low-dose(低剂量的) aspirin after breakfast every day.”可知，阿司匹林长期以来被认为有助于预防心脏病发作和中风，一些研究表明它对某些类型的癌症也有保护作用，因此，有些人每天早餐后都会虔诚地服用小剂量阿司匹林，而没有提到人们服用阿司匹林是因为它可以预防或治疗胃病，故C项正确。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“It found that the well-known risk that aspirin can cause internal bleeding is as great as the benefits of preventing heart attacks and strokes. In some cases, the risk even outweighs the benefits.”可知，荟萃分析的结论发现阿司匹林有引起内出血的风险和预防心脏病发作和中风的好处一样大，在某些情况下，风险甚至超过了益处，再根据第三段中的“However, the 164,225 people in these trials had no history of cardiovascular disease. They were monitored for an average of six years, during which time they took a daily aspirin or placebo(安慰剂).Among those who took aspirin, there were about 11% fewer heart attacks and strokes but 43% higher likelihood of a major bleeding episode in the stomach, brain or intestine(肠道).”可知，这些试验中的164225人没有心血管疾病史，他们接受了平均6年的监测，在此期间，他们每天服用阿司匹林或安慰剂（安非他命），服用阿司匹林的人中，心脏病发作和中风的几率减少了11%，但胃、脑或肠大出血发作的可能性增加了43%，由此可知，阿司匹林不值得冒险服用，也不值得那些没有心脏病或中风病史的人服用，故D项正确。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““Aspirin use requires discussion between the patient and their physician, with the knowledge that any small potential cardiovascular benefits are weighed up against the real risk of severe bleeding." he said.”，可知，他说“阿司匹林的使用需要患者和他们的医生进行讨论，因为他们知道任何小的潜在心血管益处都要与严重出血的实际风险相权衡。”，也就是说，人们在服用阿司匹林前应该与熟悉他们病情的医生谈一下，故D项正确。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，特别是根据第一段中的“But now its status as a wonder drug has come into question, following a meta-analysis of trial evidence.”可知，本文主要介绍了关于阿司匹林的新发现——经过对试验证据的荟萃分析，阿司匹林作为一种神奇药物的地位受到质疑（服用也有风险），这属于公众健康话题，因此这篇文章很有可能出自一名公众健康记者之手，故B项正确。 【点睛】本篇第4题推理判断题难度较大，抓住文章主题是关键，通读全文，特别是根据第一段中的“But now its status as a wonder drug has come into question, following a meta-analysis of trial evidence.”可知，本文主要介绍了关于阿司匹林的新发现——经过对试验证据的荟萃分析，阿司匹林作为一种神奇药物的地位受到质疑——服用阿司匹林也会有风险，这属于公众健康话题，因此这篇文章很有可能出自一名公众健康记者之手。 C The steam engine, electric lighting, refrigeration. If you’re wondering what these things have in common, they’re examples of transformative technologies that lifted worker productivity. Does generative AI belong on that list? Hardly a day passes without some news of the great things that so-called large language models (LLMs) can do — from writing academic papers to designing buildings — along with projections on how many jobs will be wiped out as companies figure out ways to apply the new technology. But economists are divided on whether the likes of OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Google’s Bard have the potential to jump-start productivity growth worldwide. Researchers in a consulting firm project AI will deliver $4.4 trillion in economic benefits annually to the global economy, equal to 4.4% of global output in 2022 Harvard professor Neeley likens the birth of generative AI to the arrival of the Internet. “It is exactly that moment we are facing again — that vital moment that forever changes how we work, how we interact with one another, how we think, how we produce. We are at that moment again.” There are plenty of reasons to be skeptical, though. Robert Gordon, a professor at Northwestern University and author of The Rise and Fall of American Growth, argues that the Internet and AI haven’t been as revolutionary as what economists call general-purpose technologies, such as electricity. Worries about AI replacing workers have been at the center of a labor dispute in Hollywood writers and actors. A survey by Microsoft found that 49% of the people say they’re worried AI will replace their jobs. On the flip side, blue collar workers could benefit. “It won’t change blue-collar work, but it will change who can get out of blue collar work and get into better jobs,” an economic historian at Cornell University says. “We are living through one of those turning points in human history.” 28. Why does the author mention OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard? A. To introduce a debate. B. To define a concept. C. To make a prediction. D. To explain a technology. 29. What does the underlined word “likens” mean in paragraph 3? A. Contributes. B. Attaches. C. Compares. D. Changes. 30. What can we know about Robert Gordon? A. He is in favor of AI. B. He acts as an electricity professor. C. He is an economist and author. D. He suspects AI’s revolutionary role. 31. What does the economic historian think about blue collar work in the AI-era? A. Doubtful. B. Promising. C. Fascinating. D. Worrying. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了人工智能对整个社会的影响，并介绍了几位研究人员对人工智能的不同看法。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But economists are divided on whether the likes of OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Google’s Bard have the potential to jump-start productivity growth worldwide.(但对于OpenAI的ChatGPT或谷歌的Bard是否有潜力推动全球生产率增长，经济学家们存在分歧)”可推知，作者在本段提及ChatGPT和Bard是为了引出人工智能是否具有变革性作用的争论。故选A项。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据后文“It is exactly that moment we are facing again — that vital moment that forever changes how we work, how we interact with one another, how we think, how we produce. We are at that moment again.(这正是我们再次面临的关键时刻，这个关键时刻将永远改变我们的工作方式、我们与他人的互动方式、我们的思考方式、我们的生产方式。我们又回到了那个时刻)”可知，此处所说的回到那个时刻，是指前文提到的互联网出现的时刻，所以慈湖Neeley教授将生成式人工智能的出现比作互联网的出现。故划线词与Compares意义相近。故选C项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Robert Gordon, a professor at Northwestern University and author of The Rise and Fall of American Growth, argues that the Internet and AI haven’t been as revolutionary as what economists call general-purpose technologies, such as electricity.(西北大学(Northwestern University)教授、《美国经济增长的兴衰》(The Rise and Fall of American Growth)一书的作者罗伯特·戈登(Robert Gordon)认为，互联网和人工智能并不像经济学家所说的通用技术那样具有革命性，比如电力)”可知，Robert Gordon教授不相信人工智能会起到革命性作用。故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It won’t change blue-collar work, but it will change who can get out of blue-collar work and get into better jobs(它不会改变蓝领工作，但会改变谁能摆脱蓝领工作，找到更好的工作)”可推知，康奈尔大学的一位经济历史学家认为人工智能时代的蓝领工作是有前途的。故选B项。 D High school students perform better on tests if they are in a classroom with a view of a green space, instead of a windowless room or a room with a view of built-up space, according to research from the University of Illinois Department of Landscape Architecture. “It is the first to show a relationship between studying with a green view and students’ performance.” said William Sullivan, head of the research team. “It’s a substantial finding that if you have a green view outside your window, you’ll do better on tests.” Sullivan hopes the results of their research will lead to some changes. “Changes in school design, for example, would be a much better thing than any of the things we spend money on in secondary education today,” Sullivan said. The research included 94 students at five central Illinois high schools. Students were randomly assigned to one of three kinds of classrooms — windowless, with a window looking out onto built-up space, or with a window looking out onto green space. Each kind of classroom had almost the same size and layout (布局). The students took part in one-on-one experiments in which they did 30 minutes of activities that included a proofreading (勘校) exercise, a speech and a math exercise. Following the activities the students were given an attention test which asked them to repeat a series of numbers. The findings: Students did better on both study activities and the attention test if they were in a classroom with a green view, Sullivan said. The researchers suggest their findings can help planners and policymakers improve students’ health and learning. For example, planners can choose places for new schools that already have trees, or they can plant many trees on the site; architects can design classroom windows so they look onto green spaces. 32. What did the study find out about high school students? A. They like to have green plants in their classrooms. B. They will get better grades when studying in different classrooms. C. Changes in school design will influence their attitudes towards teachers. D. A green view through a classroom window can improve their performance. 33. What does the underlined word “substantial” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Early. B. Important. C. Useless. D. Possible. 34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. How the study was carried out. B. The result of the study. C. Why the study was different. D. The purpose of the study. 35. What do the researchers think of the study? A. It has drawn public attention to education. B. It can play a guiding role in school planning. C. It has encouraged students to get close to nature. D. It needs more support from high school teachers. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了高中生在可以看到绿色空间的教室里，比在没有窗户的教室里或在能看到建筑空间的教室里表现得更好。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It’s a substantial finding that if you have a green view outside your window, you’ll do better on tests.(这是一个重要的发现，如果你的窗外有绿色的景色，你在测试中会表现得更好)”可知，关于高中生，这项研究发现透过教室窗户看到的绿色风景可以提高他们的成绩。故选D。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Sullivan hopes the results of their research will lead to some changes. “Changes in school design, for example, would be a much better thing than any of the things we spend money on in secondary education today,” Sullivan said.(沙利文希望他们的研究结果将导致政策的改变。沙利文说，例如，改变学校设计“将比我们今天在中学教育中花钱的任何事情都要好得多。”)”可知，这个发现能导致政策的改变，所以是一个重要的发现，由此可知划线词substantial意为“重要的”，和B项意思相近。故选B。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The research included 94 students at five central Illinois high schools. Students were randomly assigned to one of three kinds of classrooms—windowless, with a window looking out onto built-up space, or with a window looking out onto green space. Each kind of classroom had almost the same size and layout (布局)．The students took part in one-on-one experiments in which they did 30 minutes of activities that included a proofreading (勘校) exercise, a speech and a math exercise. Following the activities the students were given an attention test which asked them to repeat a series of numbers.(这项研究包括伊利诺斯州中部五所高中的94名学生。学生们被随机分配到三种教室中的一种——没有窗户的教室，有窗户可以看到建筑空间的教室，或有窗户可以看到绿地的教室。每一种教室都有相似的大小和布局。这些学生参加了一对一的实验，他们做了30分钟的活动，包括校对练习、演讲和数学练习。活动结束后，学生们接受了一项注意力测试，要求他们重复一系列数字。)”可知，第三段主要讲的是研究是如何进行的。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The researchers suggest their findings can help planners and policymakers improve students’ health and learning.(研究人员表示，他们发现可以帮助规划者和决策者提高学生的幸福感和学习能力。)”可知，研究人员认为这项研究可以在学校规划中起到指导作用。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项. When Ken was in high school, he did well and had a strong sense of accomplishment. However, when he was in college, his grades were not so outstanding among academically gifted students much like himself, if not better. Often he feels depressed and is withdrawing from people and activities. ____36____ The literature generally has found that many of us tend to let our self-worth be contingent upon external events　(such as academics and physical attractiveness). ____37____ As a result, our feelings about ourselves can end up being in the hands of others. Obviously, we all want to experience things that make us feel good. But when we have contingent self-worth, we might engage in activities that make us feel worthy while avoiding activities that make us feel unworthy. ____38____ Instead of working hard to meet our goals, we’ll try to avoid failure. And if we do fail one day, we might abandon our goals, lose motivation, or make excuses to help ourselves feel better. ____39____ If our self-worth is contingent upon being successful at work, we might only choose jobs that are easy. That way we never fail and ensure that we always know that we are worthy. Or, maybe we only think we’re worthy if we weigh less than 130 pounds. We might undereat or engage in unhealthy eating practices just to make sure that we feel good. Self-worth is an important psychological construct that affects not only how we think about ourselves but it also has an impact on our psychological health and functioning. So, give up the idea of seeking approval from others. ____40____ Doing so reminds us to be fully aware of who we are. A. That may pose potential dangers. B. Unfortunately, he is no exception. C.

G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了我们中的许多人倾向于让我们的自我价值取决于外部事件，如学术和外表吸引力，当我们的自我价值依赖于这些时，它是不稳定的且可能会带来潜在的危险。文章介绍了如何建立正确的自我价值感。 【36题详解】 根据上文“When Ken was in high school, he did well and had a strong sense of accomplishment. However, when he was in college, his grades were not so outstanding among academically gifted students much like himself, if not better. Often he feels depressed and is withdrawing from people and activities.(当Ken在高中的时候，他做得很好，有很强的成就感。然而，在他上大学的时候，他的成绩在和他一样有学习天赋的学生中并不是很突出，如果不是更好的话。他经常感到沮丧，远离人群和活动)”以及后文“The literature generally has found that many of us tend to let our self-worth be contingent upon external events(such as academics and physical attractiveness).(文献普遍发现，我们中的许多人倾向于让我们的自我价值取决于外部事件（如学术和外表吸引力）)”可知，上文提到了Ken因为不突出感到沮丧，后文则说许多人倾向于让我们的自我价值取决于外部事件，可见Ken的情况并不是例外，是普遍存在的。故B选项“不幸的是，他也不例外。”符合语境，故选B。 【37题详解】 根据上文“The literature generally has found that many of us tend to let our self-worth be contingent upon external events(such as academics and physical attractiveness).(文献普遍发现，我们中的许多人倾向于让我们的自我价值取决于外部事件（如学术和外表吸引力）)”以及后文“As a result, our feelings about ourselves can end up being in the hands of others.(因此，我们对自己的感觉可能最终掌握在别人手中)”可知，本句承接上文说明让我们的自我价值取决于外部事件的后果或影响，C选项中those指代上文中external events。故C选项“当我们的自我价值依赖于这些时，它是不稳定的。”符合语境，故选C。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Obviously, we all want to experience things that make us feel good. But when we have contingent self-worth, we might engage in activities that make us feel worthy while avoiding activities that make us feel unworthy.(显然，我们都想体验让我们感觉良好的事情。但当我们有偶然的自我价值时，我们可能会参与让我们感到有价值的活动，而避免让我们感到不值得的活动)”以及后文“Instead of working hard to meet our goals, we’ll try to avoid failure. And if we do fail one day, we might abandon our goals, lose motivation, or make excuses to help ourselves feel better.(我们将努力避免失败，而不是努力实现目标。如果有一天我们失败了，我们可能会放弃目标，失去动力，或者找借口让自己感觉更好)”可知，上文提到我们会参加让我们感到有价值的活动，而避免让我们感到不值得的活动，故本句承接上文说明这一行为带来的结果：会带来潜在的危险。故A选项“这可能会带来潜在的危险。”符合语境，故选A。 【39题详解】 根据后文“If our self-worth is contingent upon being successful at work, we might only choose jobs that are easy. That way we never fail and ensure that we always know that we are worthy. Or, maybe we only think we're worthy if we weigh less than 130 pounds. We might undereat or engage in unhealthy eating practices just to make sure that we feel good.(如果我们的自我价值取决于工作上的成功，我们可能只会选择容易的工作。这样我们就永远不会失败，并确保我们永远知道自己是有价值的。或者，也许只有当我们的体重低于130磅时，我们才认为自己值得拥有。我们可能会吃得过少或养成不健康的饮食习惯，只是为了让自己感觉良好)”可知，后文主要通过一些例子来论证上文提到的“人们会参加让自己感到有价值的活动，而避免让自己感到不值得的活动”，故D选项“让我们引用一些例子来进一步证明这一点。”符合语境，故选D。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Self-worth is an important psychological construct that affects not only how we think about ourselves but it also has an impact on our psychological health and functioning. So, give up the idea of seeking approval from others.(自我价值感是一个重要的心理构造，它不仅影响我们如何看待自己，而且对我们的心理健康和功能也有影响。所以，放弃寻求他人认可的想法)”可知，上文的建议是重视自我价值感，放弃寻求他人认可的想法，即本句与上文构成转折，指出“把你的自我价值建立在内在的偶发因素上”，故G选项“相反，学会把你的自我价值建立在内在的偶发因素上，比如美德和信仰。”符合语境，故选G。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A taxi driver specially gave a free ride to a mother and her little boy Tyler who had a sudden attack of an illness on the road.18 years later, a touching ____41____ followed. 66-year-old Carl booked a taxi to the hospital.

Joe could see an old lady on the side of the road waiting for help. So he stopped his car and got out of his car. When he came closer to her, the lady looked in despair. No one had stopped to help her for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn’t look safe. Joe could see that she was scared. Knowing how she felt, Joe said quickly. “I’m here to help you, ma’am. It is too cold outside. Please go and stay inside the car. By the way, my name is Joe.” Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. While Joe was changing the tire, the lady rolled down the window and started to talk to him. She told him that she was only passing through. She was very grateful that he came to help her. Joe just smiled as he put the flat tire in the trunk (后备箱). “How much do I owe you?” the lady asked, then adding that any amount would be all right. Joe, however, rejected the payment. “You don’t owe me a thing. I’m only passing through. Someone once helped me out. Just the way I’m helping you. If you want to pay me back, please pay it forward. Don’t let the chain (链条；连续) of love end with you.” Joe responded. He waited until the old lady had started her car and driven off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but Joe felt joyful as he set off for home. Paragraph1: A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: There were tables to clear and people to serve, but the pregnant (怀孕的) waitress felt a rush of warmth. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to grab a bite to eat. It was a dirty-looking restaurant. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant，but she always had a sweet smile. After the meal，she paid with a one hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change，but the old lady had slipped right out of the door by the time she came back. The waitress wondered where the lady could be. Then she noticed something written on the napkin,“You don't owe me anything. Someone once helped me out the way I'm helping you. If you really want to pay me back，here is what you do: Do not let this chain of love end with you.” Under the napkin were four more ＄100 bills. Totally touched, she failed to utter a single word, tears blurring her eyes. There were tables to clear and people to serve, but the pregnant waitress felt a rush of warmth. That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written. How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed? With the baby due next month, it was going to be hard. She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her, she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low, “Everything is going to be all right”. It is then that the waitress decided to pass the chain of love on. 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了在一个多雨的冬夜，Joe看到一位老太太在路边等待帮助。于是他停下车，邀请老太太上了她的车。当老太太提出给她报酬时，他说：“有人曾经帮助过我，就像我帮助你一样。如果你想还我钱，请让爱继续传递下去。” 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“沿着这条路走了几英里后，这位女士看到了一家小咖啡馆。”可知，第一段可描写老太太在咖啡馆看到了需要帮助的人，并提供帮助。 ②由第二段首句内容“有桌子要清理，有人要服务，但怀孕的女服务员感到一阵温暖。”可知，第二段可描写受到了帮助的女服务员决心将爱传递下去。 2.续写线索：进咖啡馆——看到怀孕的女服务员艰难地工作——提供帮助——感到温暖——爱心传递 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①注意到：notice/spot/observe ②帮助：help/aid/assist ③回报：pay back/reward 情绪类 ①感动：moved/touched ②担忧的：worried/ anxious/concerned 【点睛】 [高分句型1] Totally touched, she failed to utter a single word, tears blurring her eyes.(过去分词作状语，独立主格结构) [高分句型2] That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written.(where限制性定语从句,what引导的宾语从句) [高分句型3] It is then that the waitress decided to pass the chain of love on.(强调句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 泉州一中、泉港一中、德化一中、厦外石狮分校四校联盟 2023—2024学年下学期期末考联考 高二年段英语学科试卷 (试卷满分：150分 考试时间：120分钟) 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项.听完每段对话后，你都有 10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

There are many free meditation apps that offer guided sessions, calming playlists. Headspace This app is simple and approachable for meditation beginners. Most of the free sessions focus on teaching the users how to meditate and easing them into the practice, while also acknowledging that meditation can be difficult. Yet to get into the really good stuff, you need to pay for the full membership. Insight Timer The app offers a multitude of meditation bells and calming musical notes during self-guided meditations. Featuring a variety of professional instructors and courses, Insight Timer also offers more contents for free users than other apps. Although the free option is extensive, the premium version (高级版) offers courses, downloadable meditations, night mode, and daily insights. Meditation Studio The app groups all its free meditations together, so it’s easy to use it without paying. These meditations run from 5 to 30 minutes and are available for download, a feature that other apps typically reserve for premium members. The number of free contents, however, is limited and included mostly basics. The design of the app is also relatively plain. Breethe: Meditation & Sleep A nice feature about Breethe is the calming background music that plays while the app is open, even without opening a meditation or music. Breethe offers a lot of sleep contents, including visualizations and bedtime stories. The app does offer a few 7-day courses for free, but the majority (1,000-plus meditations) is locked behind the paywall. 21. Which app is completely free of charge? A. Headspace. B. Insight Timer. C. Meditation Studio. D. Breethe: Meditation & Sleep. 22. What is special about Headspace? A. Courses from professional coaches. B. Advanced instructions of meditation. C.

B Aspirin has long been believed to help prevent heart attacks and strokes(中风).Some studies have shown that it also has a protective effect against certain types of cancer. As a result, some people religiously pop a low-dose(低剂量的) aspirin after breakfast every day (never take one on an empty stomach). But now its status as a wonder drug has come into question, following a meta-analysis of trial evidence. A meta-analysis reviews the results of a large number of trials and can therefore come to more certain conclusions. This latest review was published this May in The Journal of the American Medical Association.It focused on the connection between aspirin use and cardiovascular(心血管的) and bleeding events. It found that the well-known risk that aspirin can cause internal bleeding is as great as the benefits of preventing heart attacks and strokes. In some cases, the risk even outweighs the benefits. Aspirin thins the blood, thus helping to prevent blood clots (血栓). For his reason, it is a good drug for protecting people who have already had a heart attack or stroke from having another. However, the 164,225 people in these trials had no history of cardiovascular disease. They were monitored for an average of six years, during which time they took a daily aspirin or placebo(安慰剂).Among those who took aspirin, there were about 11% fewer heart attacks and strokes but 43% higher likelihood of a major bleeding episode in the stomach, brain or intestine(肠道). Dr Sean Zheng, a cardiology(心脏病学) researcher at King’s College London, said that taking a daily aspirin couldn’t be recommended for healthy people. But there might still be a case for people with a higher risk of a heart attack or stroke, he added. However, it would be important to consider the bleeding risk. “Aspirin use requires discussion between the patient and their physician, with the knowledge that any small potential cardiovascular benefits are weighed up against the real risk of severe bleeding." he said. The findings reflect the average likelihood of bleeds or heart attacks among the patients in all the trials. There will be people among them who would be better off taking aspirin and those who will be worse. It's yet another situation where we need to weigh up our individual risk and benefit--- maybe with the help of an understanding GP. 24. Which of the following is NOT a reason why some people take an aspirin every day? A. They want to lower their risk of having a heart attack B. They hope to protect themselves against some cancers C. They want to ensure they don't have a sick stomach D. They aim to make sure they won't suffer another stroke 25. What can be concluded from the recent meta-analysis? A. That aspirin does more harm than good to the human body B. That aspirin frequently causes internal bleeding because it thins the blood C. That previous research into the effects of aspirin on the human body was unreliable. D. That taking aspirin is not worth the risk or those with no history of heart tacks or strokes. 26. What should people do before taking aspirin, according to the article? A. To have a thorough physical examination B. To ask for others' opinions on the internet. C. To read the findings of new studies on aspirin D. To talk with a doctor familiar with their condition 27. The article was probably written by ________ A. the director of a hospital B a public health journalist C. the CEO of a medical company D. a representative for an insurance company C The steam engine, electric lighting, refrigeration. If you’re wondering what these things have in common, they’re examples of transformative technologies that lifted worker productivity. Does generative AI belong on that list? Hardly a day passes without some news of the great things that so-called large language models (LLMs) can do — from writing academic papers to designing buildings — along with projections on how many jobs will be wiped out as companies figure out ways to apply the new technology. But economists are divided on whether the likes of OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Google’s Bard have the potential to jump-start productivity growth worldwide. Researchers in a consulting firm project AI will deliver $4.4 trillion in economic benefits annually to the global economy, equal to 4.4% of global output in 2022 Harvard professor Neeley likens the birth of generative AI to the arrival of the Internet. “It is exactly that moment we are facing again — that vital moment that forever changes how we work, how we interact with one another, how we think, how we produce. We are at that moment again.” There are plenty of reasons to be skeptical, though. Robert Gordon, a professor at Northwestern University and author of The Rise and Fall of American Growth, argues that the Internet and AI haven’t been as revolutionary as what economists call general-purpose technologies, such as electricity. Worries about AI replacing workers have been at the center of a labor dispute in Hollywood writers and actors. A survey by Microsoft found that 49% of the people say they’re worried AI will replace their jobs. On the flip side, blue collar workers could benefit. “It won’t change blue-collar work, but it will change who can get out of blue collar work and get into better jobs,” an economic historian at Cornell University says. “We are living through one of those turning points in human history.” 28. Why does the author mention OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard? A. To introduce a debate. B. To define a concept. C. To make a prediction. D. To explain a technology. 29. What does the underlined word “likens” mean in paragraph 3? A. Contributes. B. Attaches. C. Compares. D. Changes. 30. What can we know about Robert Gordon? A He is in favor of AI. B. He acts as an electricity professor. C. He is an economist and author. D. He suspects AI’s revolutionary role. 31. What does the economic historian think about blue collar work in the AI-era? A. Doubtful. B. Promising. C. Fascinating. D. Worrying. D High school students perform better on tests if they are in a classroom with a view of a green space, instead of a windowless room or a room with a view of built-up space, according to research from the University of Illinois Department of Landscape Architecture. “It is the first to show a relationship between studying with a green view and students’ performance.” said William Sullivan, head of the research team. “It’s a substantial finding that if you have a green view outside your window, you’ll do better on tests.” Sullivan hopes the results of their research will lead to some changes. “Changes in school design, for example, would be a much better thing than any of the things we spend money on in secondary education today,” Sullivan said. The research included 94 students at five central Illinois high schools. Students were randomly assigned to one of three kinds of classrooms — windowless, with a window looking out onto built-up space, or with a window looking out onto green space. Each kind of classroom had almost the same size and layout (布局). The students took part in one-on-one experiments in which they did 30 minutes of activities that included a proofreading (勘校) exercise, a speech and a math exercise. Following the activities the students were given an attention test which asked them to repeat a series of numbers. The findings: Students did better on both study activities and the attention test if they were in a classroom with a green view, Sullivan said. The researchers suggest their findings can help planners and policymakers improve students’ health and learning. For example, planners can choose places for new schools that already have trees, or they can plant many trees on the site; architects can design classroom windows so they look onto green spaces. 32. What did the study find out about high school students? A. They like to have green plants in their classrooms. B. They will get better grades when studying in different classrooms. C. Changes in school design will influence their attitudes towards teachers. D. A green view through a classroom window can improve their performance. 33. What does the underlined word “substantial” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Early. B. Important. C. Useless. D. Possible. 34. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. How the study was carried out. B. The result of the study. C. Why the study was different. D. The purpose of the study. 35. What do the researchers think of the study? A. It has drawn public attention to education. B. It can play a guiding role in school planning. C. It has encouraged students to get close to nature. D It needs more support from high school teachers. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项. When Ken was in high school, he did well and had a strong sense of accomplishment. However, when he was in college, his grades were not so outstanding among academically gifted students much like himself, if not better. Often he feels depressed and is withdrawing from people and activities. ____36____ The literature generally has found that many of us tend to let our self-worth be contingent upon external events　(such as academics and physical attractiveness). ____37____ As a result, our feelings about ourselves can end up being in the hands of others. Obviously, we all want to experience things that make us feel good. But when we have contingent self-worth, we might engage in activities that make us feel worthy while avoiding activities that make us feel unworthy. ____38____ Instead of working hard to meet our goals, we’ll try to avoid failure. And if we do fail one day, we might abandon our goals, lose motivation, or make excuses to help ourselves feel better. ____39____ If our self-worth is contingent upon being successful at work, we might only choose jobs that are easy. That way we never fail and ensure that we always know that we are worthy. Or, maybe we only think we’re worthy if we weigh less than 130 pounds. We might undereat or engage in unhealthy eating practices just to make sure that we feel good. Self-worth is an important psychological construct that affects not only how we think about ourselves but it also has an impact on our psychological health and functioning.

Joe could see an old lady on the side of the road waiting for help. So he stopped his car and got out of his car. When he came closer to her the lady looked in despair. No one had stopped to help her for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn’t look safe. Joe could see that she was scared. Knowing how she felt, Joe said quickly. “I’m here to help you, ma’am. It is too cold outside. Please go and stay inside the car. By the way, my name is Joe.” Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. While Joe was changing the tire, the lady rolled down the window and started to talk to him. She told him that she was only passing through. She was very grateful that he came to help her. Joe just smiled as he put the flat tire in the trunk (后备箱). “How much do I owe you?” the lady asked, then adding that any amount would be all right. Joe, however, rejected the payment. “You don’t owe me a thing. I’m only passing through. Someone once helped me out. Just the way I’m helping you. If you want to pay me back, please pay it forward. Don’t let the chain (链条；连续) of love end with you.” Joe responded. He waited until the old lady had started her car and driven off. It had been a cold and depressing day, but Joe felt joyful as he set off for home. Paragraph1: A few miles down the road the lady saw a small cafe. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: There were tables to clear and people to serve, but the pregnant (怀孕的) waitress felt a rush of warmth. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
