Hôtel Barriere Fouquet’s Paris Hôtel Barriere Fouquet’s Paris, just steps from the Arc de Triomphe, is delighting guests with a special treat in honor of its landmark neighbor: a chocolate creation copying the Arc. This sugary masterpiece will be placed in all guest rooms for the entire duration of the Games. To celebrate both Paris and the Olympic spirit, atop the arc stands a graceful gymnast, frozen in mid-air, symbolizing athletic professional skills. Hôtel Plaza Athénée The Hôtel Plaza Athénée is the place to see and be seen during Fashion Week, and the two weeks during the Olympics will be no exception. The hotel has partnered with Mathieu Forget, a celebrated photographer known for a unique collaboration bringing together the worlds of art and sports. Forget has created five fascinating photographic compositions featuring athletes seemingly defying gravity within the hotel’s iconic spaces. Le Meurice In celebration of the Summer Olympics, Le Meurice, known as the original Parisian Palace hotel, is celebrating wellness on the inside and outside. The hotel’s spa is offering a limited-time treatment to refresh guests both physically and mentally. To further enhance the wellness experience, guests can enjoy wellness specialties created by famous chef Clémentine Bouchon. Le Royal Monceau Raffles Paris Located just steps from Arc de Triomphe, Le Royal Monceau Raffles Paris is launching a menu of cocktail s drawing inspiration from past host cities of previous Summer Olympics. The hotel is also hosting a few exhibitions in honor of the Olympics, including photographs featuring legendary athletes, Muhammad Ali’s boxing glove, a basketball signed by the NBA’s Dream Team, and torches from previous Olympiads. 1. What is special about Hôtel Barriere Fouquet’s Paris? A. It will introduce guests to its neighboring hotel. B. It will put a sugary copy of the Arc in the guest room. C. It will organize sports games during the whole summer. D. It will teach guests some athletic professional skills. 2. Which hotel features health service for the guests? A. Hôtel Barriere Fouquet’s Paris. B. Hôtel Plaza Athénée. C. Le Meurice. D. Le Royal Monceau Raffles Paris. 3. What do the four hotels have in common? A. They are preparing for the Summer Olympics. B. They are all located near the Arc de Triomphe. C. They are famous as the original Parisian Palace hotels. D. They are launching various cocktail s to attract tourists. B Recently, I was asked to discuss the connection between Human Resources and Artificial Intelligence. One speaker noted that the most amazing thing about Generative AI is that it can mimic (模仿) human interaction and can even teach us social skills. This got me thinking: If AI could be as near-human as she said, could it be my friend? As yet another 24-year-old affected by the loneliness epidemic that arose from a digital-heavy, interaction-light, post-pandemic world, I suffered the all too common problem of having too few friends. In the span of a year, texting began to replace face-to-face conversations and plans to meet up were often canceled or delayed. Was I supposed to embrace AI friendships as the new norm? Though skeptical, I found myself on Chat GPT the next day. It’s a straightforward platform: Type your question and AI answers. Don’t like the answer? Refine your question, and it will adjust its answers to what you’re looking for. I decided to test the theory by chatting with AI as if it were a friend. Surprisingly, I received sympathetic and supportive responses. After 20 minutes of chatting, I asked, “Will you be my friend?” Following a pause, it politely declined, ending with, “If you’re looking for human connections, it’s always great to reach out to friends, family, or people around you.” The rejection from AI was expected and natural. I believe that AI can never offer what humans can: that humanness. Every person in your life does, at some point, screw up. They may ignore you, hurt your feelings or speak sharply, and they never, ever let you ask the question again to get a different answer. AI, on the other hand, can never be your friend, because it will never show up late for your lunch. It will never hurt your feelings and it will certainly never be the one to reach out first to apologize. AI lacks fault and the surprising joy and pain that comes with it. To end the group discussion, I raised a question. I asked the group who, when calling a customer service hotline, did everything they could to skip the robotic prompts (提示) to speak to a real person. Everyone raised their hand. We all desire the same connection. And I know that we still have a chance. 4. What inspired the author to explore AI friendships? A. Her desire to overcome her loneliness. B. Her disappointment with her real friends. C. A speaker’s comments on AI’s abilities. D. The efficiency of digital communication. 5. How did the author feel about AI’s rejection? A. Unsurprised. B. Relieved. C. Disappointed. D. Heartbroken. 6. What aspect of human interaction does the author value over AI? A. The unconditional support. B. The reliability of responses. C. The speed of conflict resolution. D. The unpredictability of behavior. 7. What conclusion does the author draw about AI? A. It is more efficient than human. B. It promises to be a real friend. C. It cannot replace human connection. D. It helps to deal with feelings of loneliness. C Should there be clear boundaries between public and private spaces? Japanese architect Riken Yamamoto, who was named the 2024 Laureate of the globally recognized Pritzker Architecture Prize on March 5, has used his designs to answer this question. He was selected “for creating awareness in the community in what is the responsibility of social demand …and above all for reminding us that in architecture … spaces must be created by the needs of the people” according to the 2024 Jury Citation. Yamamoto has reconsidered the boundaries between public and private spaces as opportunities for societal enrichment, believing that all spaces can benefit and serve everyone in the community, not just the people who occupy them. This unique vision might have grown from his childhood. Born in 1945, Yamamoto was raised in a home with a front area serving as his mother’s pharmacy (药房) and the back part as a living space. This gave him a deep understanding that public and private life are closely linked. Reflecting on his childhood, Yamamoto noted, “The threshold (门槛) on one side was for family, and on the other side for community. I sat in between.” His masterpieces can be seen across the world, including Nagoya Zokei University, Tianjin Library and Jianwai SOHO in Beijing, which all follow his integration (融合) philosophy. Jianwai SOHO is a good example of this concept. SOHO, short for “small office, home office”, emphasizes a combined area of commerce and residence. “For me, to recognize space is to recognize an entire community,” Yamamoto said to the prize committee. “The current architectural approach emphasizes privacy, ignoring the necessity of societal relationships. However, we can still honor the freedom of each individual while living together in architectural space as a republic, fostering harmony across cultures and stages of life.” 8. What earned Riken Yamamoto the 2024 Pritzker Architecture Prize? A. His combination of traditional and modern styles. B. His commitment to people-focused design. C. His innovative approach to rural living spaces. D. His pioneering use of new construction techniques. 9. What about Yamamoto does paragraph 4 focus on? A. His view on the use of space. B. The origin of his architectural outlook. C. The influence of his family business on him. D. His upbringing in a multifunctional home. 10. Why is Jian Wai SOHO mentioned? A. To illustrate Yamamoto’s design philosophy. B. To show the popularity of Yamamoto’s projects. C. To prove the practicability of Yamamoto’s concept. D. To give an example of current architectural trends. 11. What problem does Yamamoto point out regarding current architectural practices? A. Lack of technological integration. B. Too much focus on personal space. C. Overemphasis on looks over function. D. Neglect of environmental sustainability. D High employment, falling inflation (通货膨胀), and economic growth. On the surface, the US economy currently seems to be doing great. But as it turns out, things are not so rosy for the average American. According to a March 6 survey conducted by the Savings website, 47 percent of US parents provide financial support to their adult children to help deal with the cost of living struggles. Gen Zers (aged 18 — 27) were found to be the most likely generation to get financial help from their parents, receiving on average 1,515 dollars per month. Still, many older parents were found to support their Millennial (aged 28 — 43) or Generation X (aged 44 — 59) adult children, accounting for 21 percent of parents providing support. The most common expenses mentioned were groceries and health insurance. But why are so many US adults, both young and old, struggling to “leave the nest”? One major reason is food prices. According to a survey, food prices are expected to increase by nearly 2.5 percent in 2024. Meanwhile, stable housing remains an elusive dream for many. The average rate for a 30-year mortgage (抵押贷款) was almost 8 percent in 2023, which means many Americans are priced out of affording their own home. The final piece of the puzzle is falling salaries. Previous generations were able to count on graduating from college as the key to landing a job that paid well. But now, young graduates have found they earn less than their parents. College graduate salaries have decreased more than 10 percent in four decades after adjusting for inflation. In other words, steadily declining salaries make it even harder for young Americans to cope with rising costs. As Gen Zers in the US struggle under financial pressures, so do the older generations supporting them, as their sharing puts their retirement at risk. The Savings website discovered that working parents were found to contribute “2.4 times more to support adult children than they contribute to their retirement accounts each month”. Essentially, while the US economy remains afloat, we will witness multiple generations of Americans sinking in their own lifeboats in the years ahead. 12. What did the March 6 survey find out about adult children in the US? A. Nearly half of them are financially dependent. B. Over half of Gen Zers are financially struggling. C. 21 percent of Generation X receive parental help. D. A majority of them rely on their parents for education. 13 What does the underlined word “elusive” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Readily accessible. B. Difficult to achieve. C. Often misunderstood. D. Commonly sought after. 14. What can be inferred from the article about people in the US? A. Graduates’ financial struggles are temporary. B. Government policies favor older generations. C. Salaries for graduates tend to keep up with inflation. D. Financial pressures affect both the young and the old. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward the future of Americans? A. Negative. B. Optimistic. C. Ambiguous. D. Indifferent. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 World Environment Day, celebrated annually on June 5th, is a global event that encourages action for the protection of our environment.

I walked with other volunteers into a large room in which there was a large variety of books. Some were picture books, such as Cifford or The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Others were chapter books with pictures in them, such as the Berenstain Bears and The Wimpy Kid series. For the extremely talented kids who like to be challenged, we provided chapter books that required imagination to understand. Just after I had gathered some books together, someone announced that it was almost time for the activity to start. All at once, a burst of voices was heard. The doors opened, and the children rushed in, beginning to look for a reading buddy（伙伴）. They all looked so eager to read, just like mice eager to taste a piece of cheese. I was sitting there waiting and glancing at the books that I had picked out for the lucky kid I would read them to. Just then, a boy about six years old began to come my way, and I knew that I had found my reading buddy. "Hi, I'm Max. Would you like to be my reading buddy?" "Sure," I responded. And then, I let him search for a book of his choice. "I like this one," shouted Max. I looked at the book that he had chosen. It told an adventure story of a little girl with her dog, and it seemed that it would be a good one to read to him. 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: "Can you tell me why you want this book?” I asked. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then came the after-reading activities in which we interacted with each other. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023-2024学年度下学期期末考试高二年级英语科试卷 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?

This sugary masterpiece will be placed in all guest rooms for the entire duration of the Games.(Hôtel Barriere Fouquet 's Paris酒店距离凯旋门仅几步之遥，为了向它的地标性邻居致敬，酒店推出了一种特别的款待，让客人们很高兴：一种模仿凯旋门的巧克力。这个甜蜜的杰作将在整个奥运会期间放置在所有的客房里)”可知，Hôtel Barriere Fouquet’s Paris的特别之处是它会在客房里放一种模仿凯旋门的巧克力。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Le Meurice部分中“The hotel’s spa is offering a limited-time treatment to refresh guests both physically and mentally.(酒店的水疗中心提供了一个限时治疗，以使客人身心舒畅。)”可知，Le Meurice为客人提供保健服务。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Here’s What Paris’s Most Luxurious Hotels Are Serving Up for the Summer Olympics.(以下是巴黎最豪华的酒店为夏季奥运会提供的服务)”可知，这四家酒店的共同点是正在为夏季奥运会做准备。故选A。 B Recently, I was asked to discuss the connection between Human Resources and Artificial Intelligence. One speaker noted that the most amazing thing about Generative AI is that it can mimic (模仿) human interaction and can even teach us social skills. This got me thinking: If AI could be as near-human as she said, could it be my friend? As yet another 24-year-old affected by the loneliness epidemic that arose from a digital-heavy, interaction-light, post-pandemic world, I suffered the all too common problem of having too few friends. In the span of a year, texting began to replace face-to-face conversations and plans to meet up were often canceled or delayed. Was I supposed to embrace AI friendships as the new norm? Though skeptical, I found myself on Chat GPT the next day. It’s a straightforward platform: Type your question and AI answers. Don’t like the answer? Refine your question, and it will adjust its answers to what you’re looking for. I decided to test the theory by chatting with AI as if it were a friend. Surprisingly, I received sympathetic and supportive responses. After 20 minutes of chatting, I asked, “Will you be my friend?” Following a pause, it politely declined, ending with, “If you’re looking for human connections, it’s always great to reach out to friends, family, or people around you.” The rejection from AI was expected and natural. I believe that AI can never offer what humans can: that humanness. Every person in your life does, at some point, screw up. They may ignore you, hurt your feelings or speak sharply, and they never, ever let you ask the question again to get a different answer. AI, on the other hand, can never be your friend, because it will never show up late for your lunch. It will never hurt your feelings and it will certainly never be the one to reach out first to apologize. AI lacks fault and the surprising joy and pain that comes with it. To end the group discussion, I raised a question. I asked the group who, when calling a customer service hotline, did everything they could to skip the robotic prompts (提示) to speak to a real person. Everyone raised their hand. We all desire the same connection. And I know that we still have a chance. 4. What inspired the author to explore AI friendships? A. Her desire to overcome her loneliness.

C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了作者探索与人工智能发展友谊结果被拒绝，作者认为人工智能不能取代人与人之间的联系。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“One speaker noted that the most amazing thing about Generative AI is that it can mimic (模仿) human interaction and can even teach us social skills.(一位演讲者指出，生成式人工智能最神奇的地方在于，它可以模仿人类的互动，甚至可以教会我们社交技巧)”以及第二段“This got me thinking: If AI could be as near-human as she said, could it be my friend?(这让我思考：如果人工智能能像她说的那样接近人类，它会成为我的朋友吗？)”可知，演讲者对人工智能能力的评论激发了作者探索人工智能友谊。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The rejection from AI was expected and natural.(人工智能的拒绝是意料之中的，也是很自然的)”可知，被AI拒绝让作者并不意外。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Every person in your life does, at some point, screw up. They may ignore you, hurt your feelings or speak sharply, and they never, ever let you ask the question again to get a different answer. AI, on the other hand, can never be your friend, because it will never show up late for your lunch. It will never hurt your feelings and it will certainly never be the one to reach out first to apologize. AI lacks fault and the surprising joy and pain that comes with it.(你生命中的每个人都会在某些时候搞砸。他们可能会忽视你，伤害你的感情，或者说话尖锐，而且他们永远不会让你再问同样的问题来得到不同的答案。另一方面，人工智能永远不会成为你的朋友，因为它永远不会在你的午餐时间迟到。它永远不会伤害你的感情，也绝对不会是第一个主动道歉的人。人工智能没有错误，也没有随之而来的惊喜和痛苦)”可知，作者认为人类互动的行为的不可预测性比人工智能更重要。故选D。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“To end the group discussion, I raised a question. I asked the group who, when calling a customer service hotline, did everything they could to skip the robotic prompts (提示) to speak to a real person. Everyone raised their hand. We all desire the same connection. And I know that we still have a chance.(为了结束小组讨论，我提出了一个问题。我问这群人，在拨打客户服务热线时，他们会尽一切可能跳过机器人提示，与真人交谈。每个人都举起了手。我们都渴望同样的联系。我知道我们还有机会)”可知，作者认为人工智能不能取代人与人之间的联系。故选C。 C Should there be clear boundaries between public and private spaces? Japanese architect Riken Yamamoto, who was named the 2024 Laureate of the globally recognized Pritzker Architecture Prize on March 5, has used his designs to answer this question. He was selected “for creating awareness in the community in what is the responsibility of social demand …and above all for reminding us that in architecture … spaces must be created by the needs of the people,” according to the 2024 Jury Citation. Yamamoto has reconsidered the boundaries between public and private spaces as opportunities for societal enrichment, believing that all spaces can benefit and serve everyone in the community, not just the people who occupy them. This unique vision might have grown from his childhood. Born in 1945, Yamamoto was raised in a home with a front area serving as his mother’s pharmacy (药房) and the back part as a living space. This gave him a deep understanding that public and private life are closely linked. Reflecting on his childhood, Yamamoto noted, “The threshold (门槛) on one side was for family, and on the other side for community. I sat in between.” His masterpieces can be seen across the world, including Nagoya Zokei University, Tianjin Library and Jianwai SOHO in Beijing, which all follow his integration (融合) philosophy. Jianwai SOHO is a good example of this concept. SOHO, short for “small office, home office”, emphasizes a combined area of commerce and residence. “For me, to recognize space is to recognize an entire community,” Yamamoto said to the prize committee. “The current architectural approach emphasizes privacy, ignoring the necessity of societal relationships. However, we can still honor the freedom of each individual while living together in architectural space as a republic, fostering harmony across cultures and stages of life.” 8. What earned Riken Yamamoto the 2024 Pritzker Architecture Prize? A. His combination of traditional and modern styles. B. His commitment to people-focused design. C. His innovative approach to rural living spaces. D. His pioneering use of new construction techniques. 9. What about Yamamoto does paragraph 4 focus on? A. His view on the use of space. B. The origin of his architectural outlook. C. The influence of his family business on him. D. His upbringing in a multifunctional home. 10. Why is Jian Wai SOHO mentioned? A. To illustrate Yamamoto’s design philosophy. B. To show the popularity of Yamamoto’s projects. C. To prove the practicability of Yamamoto’s concept. D. To give an example of current architectural trends. 11. What problem does Yamamoto point out regarding current architectural practices? A. Lack of technological integration. B. Too much focus on personal space. C. Overemphasis on looks over function. D. Neglect of environmental sustainability. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Riken Yamamoto致力于以人为本的设计，获得了2024年普利兹克建筑奖。介绍其建筑观的起源以及特点。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Yamamoto has reconsidered the boundaries between public and private spaces as opportunities for societal enrichment, believing that all spaces can benefit and serve everyone in the community, not just the people who occupy them.(Yamamoto重新考虑了公共空间和私人空间之间的界限，将其视为丰富社会的机会，他认为所有空间都可以造福和服务于社区中的每个人，而不仅仅是占用它们的人)”可知，Riken Yamamoto致力于以人为本的设计，获得了2024年普利兹克建筑奖。故选B。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“This unique vision might have grown from his childhood. Born in 1945, Yamamoto was raised in a home with a front area serving as his mother’s pharmacy (药房) and the back part as a living space. This gave him a deep understanding that public and private life are closely linked. Reflecting on his childhood, Yamamoto noted, “The threshold (门槛) on one side was for family, and on the other side for community. I sat in between.”(这种独特的视觉可能是他童年时期形成的。Yamamoto于1945年出生，在他的家庭中长大，前面是母亲的药房，后面是生活空间。这使他深刻地认识到，公共生活和私人生活是紧密相连的。回想起他的童年，Yamamoto说：“一边是家庭的门槛，另一边是社区的门槛。我坐在中间。”)”可知，第4段关注的是他的建筑观的起源。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“His masterpieces can be seen across the world, including Nagoya Zokei University, Tianjin Library and Jianwai SOHO in Beijing, which all follow his integration (融合) philosophy. Jianwai SOHO is a good example of this concept. SOHO, short for “small office, home office”, emphasizes a combined area of commerce and residence.(他杰作遍布世界各地，包括名古屋产经大学、天津图书馆和北京建外SOHO，都遵循着他的融合理念。建外SOHO就是一个很好的例子。SOHO是“小型办公室，家庭办公室”的缩写，强调商业和居住的结合)”可知，提到建外SOHO是为了说明山本的设计理念。故选A。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The current architectural approach emphasizes privacy, ignoring the necessity of societal relationships. However, we can still honor the freedom of each individual while living together in architectural space as a republic, fostering harmony across cultures and stages of life.(当前的建筑方法强调隐私，忽略了社会关系的必要性。然而，我们仍然可以尊重每个人的自由，同时作为一个共和国在建筑空间中共同生活，促进不同文化和生活阶段的和谐)”可知，对于当前的建筑实践，Yamamoto指出过于注重个人空间。故选B。 D High employment, falling inflation (通货膨胀), and economic growth. On the surface, the US economy currently seems to be doing great. But as it turns out, things are not so rosy for the average American. According to a March 6 survey conducted by the Savings website, 47 percent of US parents provide financial support to their adult children to help deal with the cost of living struggles. Gen Zers (aged 18 — 27) were found to be the most likely generation to get financial help from their parents, receiving on average 1,515 dollars per month. Still, many older parents were found to support their Millennial (aged 28 — 43) or Generation X (aged 44 — 59) adult children, accounting for 21 percent of parents providing support. The most common expenses mentioned were groceries and health insurance. But why are so many US adults, both young and old, struggling to “leave the nest”? One major reason is food prices. According to a survey, food prices are expected to increase by nearly 2.5 percent in 2024. Meanwhile, stable housing remains an elusive dream for many. The average rate for a 30-year mortgage (抵押贷款) was almost 8 percent in 2023, which means many Americans are priced out of affording their own home. The final piece of the puzzle is falling salaries. Previous generations were able to count on graduating from college as the key to landing a job that paid well. But now, young graduates have found they earn less than their parents. College graduate salaries have decreased more than 10 percent in four decades after adjusting for inflation. In other words, steadily declining salaries make it even harder for young Americans to cope with rising costs. As Gen Zers in the US struggle under financial pressures, so do the older generations supporting them, as their sharing puts their retirement at risk. The Savings website discovered that working parents were found to contribute “2.4 times more to support adult children than they contribute to their retirement accounts each month”. Essentially, while the US economy remains afloat, we will witness multiple generations of Americans sinking in their own lifeboats in the years ahead. 12. What did the March 6 survey find out about adult children in the US? A. Nearly half of them are financially dependent. B. Over half of Gen Zers are financially struggling. C. 21 percent of Generation X receive parental help. D. A majority of them rely on their parents for education. 13. What does the underlined word “elusive” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Readily accessible. B. Difficult to achieve. C. Often misunderstood. D. Commonly sought after. 14. What can be inferred from the article about people in the US? A. Graduates’ financial struggles are temporary. B. Government policies favor older generations. C. Salaries for graduates tend to keep up with inflation. D. Financial pressures affect both the young and the old. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward the future of Americans? A. Negative. B. Optimistic. C. Ambiguous. D. Indifferent. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了美国经济表面上看似乎繁荣，但实际上普通美国人面临着诸多经济挑战和压力的问题。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“According to a March 6 survey conducted by the Savings website, 47 percent of US parents provide financial support to their adult children to help deal with the cost of living struggles.(美国储蓄网站3月6日调查显示，47%的美国父母为成年子女提供经济支持，以帮助他们解决生活成本问题。)”可知，3月6日的调查发现了美国成年子女其中近一半的人在经济上依赖他人。故选A。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段的“According to a survey, food prices are expected to increase by nearly 2.5 percent in 2024. Meanwhile, stable housing remains an elusive dream for many. The average rate for a 30-year mortgage was almost 8 percent in 2023, which means many Americans are priced out of affording their own home.(。根据一项调查，2024年食品价格预计将上涨近2.5%。与此同时，稳定的住房仍然是许多人……的梦想。2023年，30年期抵押贷款的平均利率接近8%，这意味着许多美国人负担不起自己的房子。) ”可知，许多美国人负担不起自己的房子，由此可推知，稳定的住房仍是许多人难以实现的梦想，由此则划线词意为：很难实现的。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“As Gen Zers in the US struggle under financial pressures, so do the older generations supporting them, as their sharing puts their retirement at risk. The Savings website discovered that working parents were found to contribute“2.4 times more to support adult children than they contribute to their retirement accounts each month”.(当美国的Z世代在财务压力下挣扎时，支持他们的老一辈人也一样，因为他们的分担会让他们面临退休的风险。储蓄网站发现，有工作的父母每月为成年子女提供的资金是他们为退休账户提供的资金的2.4倍。)”可知，经济压力对年轻人和老年人都有影响。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Essentially, while the US economy remains afloat, we will witness multiple generations of Americans sinking in their own lifeboats in the years ahead.(从本质上讲，虽然美国经济还在继续，但在未来的几年里，我们将看到几代美国人在自己的救生艇上沉没。)”可知，作者对美国人的未来持消极的态度。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 World Environment Day, celebrated annually on June 5th, is a global event that encourages action for the protection of our environment.

Yes, these years mobile payment has made its way deep into our daily life. It is supported by two major companies — WeChat and Alipay. Instead of carrying wallets around, we can pay by scanning the QR code, which saves us the trouble of dealing with change, especially coins. Besides, it also keeps a record of our financial report automatically. The convenience of mobile payment, however, comes with a price.

(运用了倒装句) 第二节（满分25分） 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。 Recently, I volunteered with Interact, my school's service group at Read 2 Me, an activity that gives volunteers the opportunity to read to little kids and interact with them. I walked with other volunteers into a large room in which there was a large variety of books. Some were picture books, such as Cifford or The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Others were chapter books with pictures in them, such as the Berenstain Bears and The Wimpy Kid series. For the extremely talented kids who like to be challenged, we provided chapter books that required imagination to understand. Just after I had gathered some books together, someone announced that it was almost time for the activity to start. All at once, a burst of voices was heard. The doors opened, and the children rushed in, beginning to look for a reading buddy（伙伴）. They all looked so eager to read, just like mice eager to taste a piece of cheese. I was sitting there waiting and glancing at the books that I had picked out for the lucky kid I would read them to. Just then, a boy about six years old began to come my way, and I knew that I had found my reading buddy. "Hi, I'm Max. Would you like to be my reading buddy?" "Sure," I responded. And then, I let him search for a book of his choice. "I like this one," shouted Max. I looked at the book that he had chosen. It told an adventure story of a little girl with her dog, and it seemed that it would be a good one to read to him. 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: "Can you tell me why you want this book?” I asked. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then came the after-reading activities in which we interacted with each other. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】"Can you tell me why you want this book?" I asked. "I like adventure stories and I like dogs," he answered. I was delighted with his answer, and at once, I started to read to him. The story was so attractive to Max. He listened with great interest, totally lost in what was described in the story. He thanked me when I finished reading to him, looking so happy for having got the chance to listen to the story. Then came the after-reading activities in which we interacted with each other. "I wish I were the dog. Then I could go on an adventure," said Max as we were talking about the story. I laughed and encouraged him to come up with some different endings of the story, which all sounded pretty funny. In the end, we acted out the story together. You can imagine how happy he was. A book opens a door to a whole new world. That day, I helped Max open one, and I'm convinced that he will be able to open many more for himself in the future. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在学校的服务组“Read 2 Me”担任志愿者，这是一个让志愿者有机会为小孩子朗读并与他们互动的活动。一个大约六岁的男孩麦克斯开始向作者走来，作者知道自己找到了阅读伙伴。作者看了看他选的那本书。它讲述了一个小女孩和她的狗的冒险故事，似乎读给他听会很不错。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我问：“你能告诉我你为什么想要这本书吗?””可知，第一段可描写麦克斯解释了喜欢他选的那本书的原因以及作者给他读书时麦克斯的状态以及读完后，麦克斯的感谢。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后是读后感活动，我们互相交流。”可知，第二段可描写作者与麦克斯的交流过程以及感悟。 2.续写线索：询问原因——麦克斯解释——麦克斯很喜欢听——对作者的感谢——交流——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 喜欢：like/be fond of 完成：finish/complete 鼓励：encourage /inspire 提出：come up with/put forward 情绪类 高兴的：happy/delighted/pleased 有吸引力的：attractive/appealing 【点睛】[高分句型1] He listened with great interest, totally lost in what was described in the story.
