It all began with a simple game she programmed in her Los Angeles public school’s Grade 2class. Today , at18, the Grade 12 student’s initial curiosity has evolved into a deep-seated desire to use technology to decode (解码) real-world problems. In 2021, she co-developed Megaphone, one of her first apps, to tackle unanswered post-class questions and poor communication about events and announcements. Her problem-solving ability kept building from there. When she took online CPR classes at the start of the pandemic, she figured it couldn’t be just her who was struggling with the steps. So she created an app called CPR Buddy ― a winner in the 2022 Apple Swift Challenge ― which guides users through CPR using vibrations (震动) to regulate breath. After winning the award, Angelina presented her work to Apple CEO Tim Cook, a highlight in her young career, but one she didn’t lose her cool over. “There’s no point putting people on a pedestal (神坛),” she says. The next year, Angelina built an app called Lilac, designed to assist nonEnglish-speaking single parents with resources for housing, job opportunities and translation support. She was inspired by her own experiences as a child of a single mother who immigrated to the US. When Angelina decided to pursue pilot training at the age of 16, she was struck by how difficult it was to find financial support, which encouraged her to create yet another app, Pilot Fast Track, which helps those longing to be pilots find scholarships for flight training. Looking to the future, besides applying to colleges with great labs, Angelina is exploring the field of aerospace cybersecurity and mechatronics ― combining computer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. “There’s not enough optimism in the world,“ she says. “I have also been in situations in my life where I’ve lost a lot of hope. But in the end, it is a mindset, and there are ways in any situation you’re in to make it somewhat better.” 19．What is Angelina’s pursuit? A．To design games for kids. B．To stimulate teen’s curiosity.

The professor encouraged us to color outside the lines and trust our abilities as a writer. We had weekly sessions where we read each other’s work and had to give constructive criticism. On our first assignment, I struggled with getting my ideas onto paper. I knew that kind of story I wanted to tell, but as a reserved young man, I was terrified of judgement from my peers. I was afraid they would think my writing was too dark or really messed up. But finally, after spending hours thinking of making the writing more socially acceptable, I decided to write it like I felt it. In the next critique session, I was shocked at the reaction from my peers. There was some constructive criticism, which really helped me improve, but overall, they loved how realistic and convincing my writing was. At the end of the class, the professor asked me if she could use my assignment as a sample for her other classes to know that they can trust their own madness with their writing. For the final we had a huge paper for which we had to write on Henry V. The professor encouraged me to write it in the voice I had developed in the creative writing class, so I did. The consequence was that she called it a graduate level paper and asked to use it as another sample. That year I ended up winning a writing award. I also entered a writing contest online and out of hundreds of entries, got an honorable mention. And that was when I decided to have a shot at fiction. 23．What does the underlined phrase “color outside the lines” mean in the first paragraph? A．Stress the words. B．Generate new ideas.

Passage9.【2024·山东菏泽·模拟预测】 Ten years ago, Kristin Schell and her family moved to a new home in Austin, Texas. She tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting reading activities and playgroups. But those activities required planning ahead and arranging schedules, not to mention cooking and cleaning. One day, Kristin needed backyard furniture for a party and bought a few picnic tables from Lowe’s. The delivery driver set one table down in her front yard by mistake. After the party, Kristin painted the table turquoise (绿松石色) and put it in the front yard, just a few feet from the sidewalk. That turquoise table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. For activities they used to do at the kitchen table, they now did out front at the picnic table. They played games, did crafts and ate snacks. “We got intentional about where we spent our time,” Kristin says. “We became ‘front yard people.’ Neighbors began to stop by to introduce themselves and sit down for a chat. The turquoise table was inviting and we had a shared feel.” Construction workers in the neighborhood took their lunch breaks at the table. A babysitter walking by with her young child sat down to rest. Then neighbors told Kristi their family could put a picnic table in their front yard too. Soon “The Turquoise Table”was born, a movement of ordinary people who want to gather right in their own front yards. “At the picnic table, all we have to do is show up. People’s greatest need is to know that they are loved and that they belong,” Kristin says. She likes how it enables her to take a small step toward building relationships in her community. A decade after their Texas beginnings, thousands of Turquoise Tables exist in all 50 states and in 13 countries in the world. Not all of them are actually turquoise. Texas Christian University in Fort Worth has several purple tables to match their team colors, for example. “No matter what color it is, it’s a friendship table,” Kristin says. 27．Why did Kristin host activities when she moved to a new home?

Her community has faced environmental injustice. Heavy industries continued to move in her community. As a result, her neighbors have had to live with serious respiratory (呼吸的) problems. When she knew a plan to build the nation’s largest trash-burning incinerator (焚化炉) less than a mile away from her high school, she realized she had to take action. The incinerator was being sold wrongly as clean, renewable energy equipment but actually it would be a source of brain-damaging chemicals and would release 200 million tons of greenhouse gases per year, both worse than coal burning. Watford felt she had a responsibility to warn her community to work together to shut this plant down. She co-founded Free Your Voice (FYV), a 10-person student organization devoted to community rights and social justice. Together, they decided to start a campaign to take down Energy Answers, the incinerator’s developer. They went door-to-door talking to neighbors and organizing protests. When it was discovered that Baltimore City Public Schools (BCPS) was going to be a customer of Energy Answers, the organization fought with the board and presented their case, urging BCPS to withdraw from the project. BCPS was convinced to cancel their contract, which in turn inspired 22 other customers to do the same. Without any financial gain, Energy Answers had no market to move forward with its plan. Watford continues to work with Curtis Bay residents toward fair development. They have a vision for the future which includes building a zero-waste movement, a solar farm, and green jobs.

Soon, it all made sense. Michael’s credit card number started with four and one. Clearly, he accidentally began typing his credit card information while his cursor (光标) was still in the donation box.

After he looked through the photos of people holding thank-you signs that read his name, Michael’s heart sank. He felt terrible that he had to withdraw his handsome donation. Once his original contribution was refunded, he decided to donate $1,500.

Little did he know, though, that the story would be seen far and wide, ending up raising more than $120,000 for Bangladesh Relief in the span of only a few weeks—about eight times Michael’s mistaken donation. According to Dunan, more than 3,700 people have contributed because of Michael’s post.

Growing up in USA, Felipe Rossi had just obtained the Bachelor of Medicine Degree and was about to start a master’s degree in Pediatric Dentistry (儿童口腔学) when a journey to his father’s home — Balsabo in Brazil — converted his initial plan. “All locals didn’t have access to dental care, and consequently, many of them suffered deformed teeth or even loss of teeth, leading to many people not daring to laugh with mouth open.” Felipe Rossi recalled. “A desire was planted in my heart.

Passage13.【2024·山东威海·二模】 As a child, I was keen on collecting moths（飞蛾）and butterflies. By adulthood, I could identify about 700 species by sight, recognizing the stripes, dots and colors on their wings and bodies. In 1972, I moved to Australia and continued collecting. But I started to struggle: identifying them quickly became an impossible task. The species there were so different from those at home, and there was no space in my mind to recognize them all. My crisis soon increased. Throughout the 1970s, I led expeditions to Papua New Guinea to collect moths. One night, we could collect more than twice as many as those I had memorized in my childhood. Identifying them felt overwhelming. I gave up and stopped working on moths. But my instinct to identify them never went away. Two decades later, I was in a supermarket and an idea started to develop in my mind: what if a part of DNA could be used to differentiate between species Just 13 lines on. the supermarket barcodes（条形码）were being used to identify products What if we could identify species in the same way? To test the idea, I began collecting the moths again. Each sample had to donate a leg to science. I believed that COI（a single segment of a rapidly evolving gene）present in almost all animals could be used to tell species. With their legs, we used the PCR method to focus in on their section of COI. One by one, it became clear: every single moth could be sorted using a tiny slice of their genome（基因组）DNA barcoding was 100% successful on its first test. In our study paper, we claimed that we had discovered a reliable, inexpensive and accessible solution to identifying the millions of animal species waiting to be discovered. I believe DNA barcoding is humanity’s first shot at finally discovering all life on Earth. This technique has helped conservationists to fight against wildlife crime and monitor the impact of mining on bıodiversity. One day, I am confident it will form part of a system to monitor the biosphere the Same way we monitor the weather. 43．How did the author recognize moth species in his childhood? A．By turning to books. B．By using lab equipment. C．By obseiving their behavior. D．By distinguishing their appearance. 44．What does the underlined “My crisis” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．The loss of interest in studying moths. B．The impossibility of recognizing moths. C．The pressure of discovering new moth species. D．The challenge of collecting as many moth samples. 45．What inspired the author to use DNA for species identification? A．The ease of using PCR to focus on COI. B．The simplicity of supermarket barcodes. C．The success of DNA barcoding on moths. D．The availability of COI in almost all animals. 46．What might DNA barcoding be used for in the future according to the text? A．Protecting wildlife habitats. B．Tracking wildlife population. C．Assisting in monitoring biodiversity. D．Updating weather monitoring systems. Passage14.【2024·山东菏泽·模拟预测】 The relationship between Jeffrey Pang and his son, Kevin Pang, was like hot-and-sour soup. It boiled over easily. The Pangs, who moved to the United States in 1988, wanted their son and daughter to know Chinese culture. As a video game-playing American teen, Kevin wasn’t interested. But when Kevin became a food writer for the Chicago Tribune, he realized he had a valuable resource: his cook-laving dad. “My father and I shared, for the first time, a common interest. I would call to ask about recipes and cooking techniques. He would school me on the world of Chinese food,” Kevin writes in the introduction to the cookbook he has just published. When it comes to cooking Chinese food, he points out that there is no one definition of Chinese food. “Chinese cooking is not hidebound. For example, consider baked pork chop rice, popularized in Hong Kong. It is a pork chop with egg-fried rice. And then you top it with this thick tomato sauce,” explains Kevin. “And then you top that with some cheese.

I grew tired of backpackers expressing too much praise about how petting a baby elephant in Thailand “transformed” them. Globe-traveling to me held no more promise than finding a few bills in the pocket of an old coat. I needed something deeper than an Eat, Play, Love moment. One day, Vasilis, my Greek best friend, reminded me of our decade-old promise: after our final exams, I would visit his hometown in Athens. Maybe, it was time to make good on that promise. I finally boarded the plane. Vasilis picked me up at the airport. I smiled, thinking how improbable this moment seemed all those years ago. The decade-long wait proved to be well worth it. Every step through the ancient streets revealed new wonders. However, none of them truly mattered. What would forever alter my perception of travel was a chance encounter with a local. Vasilis and I were wandering Athens when a special sound caught our attention — a rhythmic clinking disturbing the quietness of the residential street. Curiously, we followed the sound to a humble workshop. Inside, a welder (焊工) gave no mind to our presence behind him. He wore no flashy protective suit — this was just another day for him, another dance with fire and metal that had become second nature. Under the sunshade, his orange cat rested in the comforting warmth... As the man continued welding, I felt a bit of envy. I envied his peace and contentment. I admired the simplicity he embodied. I imagined the welder happy, finding fulfillment in his craft (手艺) and returning to his loving family...The moment moved me to tears. Leaving the workshop, rain blending with tears, I realized how easily life’s poetry could pass unnoticed. Home again in Montreal, I stop simply pursuing better things, better experiences and better people that are never grasped. I realize the real journey is inward — to appreciate life’s ordinary magic. That sure beats petting any baby elephant. I may not have returned home “transformed,” but I’ll always think of the welder and his cat. 55．Which aspect of travelling makes the author feel uneasy? A．Shortage of adequate funds. B．Discomfort in dietary habits. C．Overstatement of travel’s effects. D．Danger of petting baby animals. 56．What drove the author to go to Athens? A．Meeting a commitment. B．Exploring a unique landscape. C．Receiving further education. D．Escaping from the current life. 57．What does the underlined word “poetry” in paragraph 6 probably refer to? A．Poems written by masters. B．Peace and simplicity. C．Spirit of craftsmanship. D．Special sound in the street. 58．Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A．Friendship Lasts Forever B．Travelling Shapes a Better Self C．Pursuit of Happiness Never Stops D．The Ordinary Makes Extraordinary Passage17.【2024·山东泰安·一模】 When Stanford University student Ellen Xu was a five-year-old in California, she vividly recalls her parents rushing her little sister to the hospital. Three-year-old Kate had fallen acutely ill; she had a fever, reddened eyes, a rash and some swelling in her hands and tongue. At first, the puzzled doctors thought she had influenza, but when her condition didn’t improve, the Xus returned to the emergency room, where a doctor by chance had prior experience with an acute inflammatory (炎症性的) reaction in the blood vessels known as Kawasaki disease. Though rare, it’s the leading cause of acquired heart disease in babies and young children, and its cause and triggers remain somewhat mysterious. The doctor knew how to treat it: He ordered a dose of intravenous immunoglobulin, and eventually Kate shook off the illness without suffering damage to her heart. Xu remembers being curious about her sister’s dramatic condition and was amazed that the grown-ups couldn’t answer her questions about why it was so hard to detect. “In my mind, it was this mystery, she says. ”It was a puzzle I wanted to solve. “ A decade later, wanting to enter a high school science fair, she had an idea: ”What if we had a doctor in our pocket?“ So she created just that: Using AT, Xu designed an algorithm(算法) that uses visual data to diagnose (诊断) Kawasaki disease based on five physical symptoms. The technology works the same way as apps that can identify birds and plants with photos you’ve taken on your cellphone. Worried parents can upload a photo that they have taken of their child, and the technology will scan the image for symptoms of Kawasaki disease, which often have a strong visual element, such as a rash or a swollen tongue. Xu’s invention has been applied as a web app on the Kawasaki Disease Foundation’s website without charge. ”The technology could also be developed for recognizing auto-immune and rheumatological (风湿病学的) diseases, “ she says. ”It means a lot to me.

It all began with a simple game she programmed in her Los Angeles public school’s Grade 2class. Today , at18, the Grade 12 student’s initial curiosity has evolved into a deep-seated desire to use technology to decode (解码) real-world problems. In 2021, she co-developed Megaphone, one of her first apps, to tackle unanswered post-class questions and poor communication about events and announcements. Her problem-solving ability kept building from there. When she took online CPR classes at the start of the pandemic, she figured it couldn’t be just her who was struggling with the steps. So she created an app called CPR Buddy ― a winner in the 2022 Apple Swift Challenge ― which guides users through CPR using vibrations (震动) to regulate breath. After winning the award, Angelina presented her work to Apple CEO Tim Cook, a highlight in her young career, but one she didn’t lose her cool over. “There’s no point putting people on a pedestal (神坛),” she says. The next year, Angelina built an app called Lilac, designed to assist nonEnglish-speaking single parents with resources for housing, job opportunities and translation support. She was inspired by her own experiences as a child of a single mother who immigrated to the US. When Angelina decided to pursue pilot training at the age of 16, she was struck by how difficult it was to find financial support, which encouraged her to create yet another app, Pilot Fast Track, which helps those longing to be pilots find scholarships for flight training. Looking to the future, besides applying to colleges with great labs, Angelina is exploring the field of aerospace cybersecurity and mechatronics ― combining computer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. “There’s not enough optimism in the world,“ she says. “I have also been in situations in my life where I’ve lost a lot of hope. But in the end, it is a mindset, and there are ways in any situation you’re in to make it somewhat better.” 19．What is Angelina’s pursuit? A．To design games for kids. B．To stimulate teen’s curiosity. C．To address problems through technology. D．To find innovative approaches to digital challenges. 20．What can we learn about Angelina from Paragraph 3? A．She couldn’t breathe regularly. B．She was inspired by celebrities. C．She replaced CPR with an app. D．She was humble about her success. 21．What was the primary goal of developing Pilot Fast Track? A．To direct pilots’ career paths. B．To help to-be pilots find funds. C．To pair future pilots with airlines. D．To evaluate pilot training schools. 22．What might be the best title? A．Breaking the code B．Bearing growing pains C．Facing life as it is D．Following role models 【答案】19．C 20．D 21．B 22．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Angelina Tsuboi如何通过技术创新解决现实问题，她的应用程序帮助了许多人，并展现了她对未来技术领域的探索和乐观的生活态度。 19．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Today , at18, the Grade 12 student’s initial curiosity has evolved into a deep-seated desire to use technology to decode (解码) real-world problems.(如今，这位18岁的12年级学生最初的好奇心已经演变成一种根深蒂固的愿望，即利用技术来破解现实世界的问题。)”可知，Angelina的志向是利用技术来解码现实世界的问题。故选C。 20．推理判断题。根据第三段中“After winning the award, Angelina presented her work to Apple CEO Tim Cook, a highlight in her young career, but one she didn’t lose her cool over. “There’s no point putting people on a pedestal (神坛),”she says.(在获得奖项后，Angelina向苹果公司首席执行官蒂姆·库克展示了她的作品，这是她年轻职业生涯中的一个亮点，但她并没有因此而失去冷静。她说：“没有必要把人放在神坛上。”)”可知，即使在获得苹果公司Swift挑战赛奖项并有机会向苹果CEO蒂姆·库克展示自己的工作后，Angelina也没有失去冷静，她认为没有必要把人放在神坛上，这表明她对自己的成功保持谦逊。故选D。 21．细节理解题。根据第五段中“When Angelina decided to pursue pilot training at the age of 16, she was struck by how difficult it was to find financial support, which encouraged her to create yet another app, Pilot Fast Track, which helps those longing to be pilots find scholarships for flight training.(当Angelina在16岁时决定接受飞行员培训时，她被找到经济支持的困难所震惊，这促使她创建了另一个应用程序“飞行员快速通道”，帮助那些渴望成为飞行员的人获得飞行培训的奖学金。)”可知，Angelina在16岁决定接受飞行员培训时，发现很难找到财务支持，这促使她创建了Pilot Fast Track应用程序，帮助那些渴望成为飞行员的人找到飞行培训的奖学金。故选B。 22．主旨大意题。通读全文，文章主要讲述了Angelina Tsuboi通过解码技术解决现实世界问题的故事。她利用解码技术开发了多个应用程序，这些应用程序分别帮助解决课后问题、心脏复苏指导、非英语母语单亲家庭的资源获取和飞行员培训资金寻找等问题。A选项“Breaking the code(解码技术)”概括文章主要内容，符合文章标题。故选A。 Passage8.【2024·山东聊城·二模】 ）It wasn’t until I got into college and took a class on creative writing that I began to trust my own madness. The professor encouraged us to color outside the lines and trust our abilities as a writer. We had weekly sessions where we read each other’s work and had to give constructive criticism. On our first assignment, I struggled with getting my ideas onto paper. I knew that kind of story I wanted to tell, but as a reserved young man, I was terrified of judgement from my peers. I was afraid they would think my writing was too dark or really messed up. But finally, after spending hours thinking of making the writing more socially acceptable, I decided to write it like I felt it. In the next critique session, I was shocked at the reaction from my peers. There was some constructive criticism, which really helped me improve, but overall, they loved how realistic and convincing my writing was. At the end of the class, the professor asked me if she could use my assignment as a sample for her other classes to know that they can trust their own madness with their writing. For the final we had a huge paper for which we had to write on Henry V. The professor encouraged me to write it in the voice I had developed in the creative writing class, so I did. The consequence was that she called it a graduate level paper and asked to use it as another sample. That year I ended up winning a writing award. I also entered a writing contest online and out of hundreds of entries, got an honorable mention. And that was when I decided to have a shot at fiction. 23．What does the underlined phrase “color outside the lines” mean in the first paragraph? A．Stress the words. B．Generate new ideas.

She tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting reading activities and playgroups. But those activities required planning ahead and arranging schedules, not to mention cooking and cleaning. One day, Kristin needed backyard furniture for a party and bought a few picnic tables from Lowe’s. The delivery driver set one table down in her front yard by mistake. After the party, Kristin painted the table turquoise (绿松石色) and put it in the front yard, just a few feet from the sidewalk. That turquoise table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. For activities they used to do at the kitchen table, they now did out front at the picnic table. They played games, did crafts and ate snacks. “We got intentional about where we spent our time,” Kristin says. “We became ‘front yard people.’ Neighbors began to stop by to introduce themselves and sit down for a chat. The turquoise table was inviting and we had a shared feel.” Construction workers in the neighborhood took their lunch breaks at the table. A babysitter walking by with her young child sat down to rest. Then neighbors told Kristi their family could put a picnic table in their front yard too. Soon “The Turquoise Table”was born, a movement of ordinary people who want to gather right in their own front yards. “At the picnic table, all we have to do is show up. People’s greatest need is to know that they are loved and that they belong,” Kristin says. She likes how it enables her to take a small step toward building relationships in her community. A decade after their Texas beginnings, thousands of Turquoise Tables exist in all 50 states and in 13 countries in the world. Not all of them are actually turquoise. Texas Christian University in Fort Worth has several purple tables to match their team colors, for example. “No matter what color it is, it’s a friendship table,” Kristin says. 27．Why did Kristin host activities when she moved to a new home? A．To promote the community service. B．To make plans for community events. C．To build good relationship with neighbors. D．To help neighbors with cooking and cleaning. 28．How did the turquoise table change Kristin’s family? A．They started staying indoors more time. B．They became more private and superior. C．They began to spend more time outside together. D．They stopped hosting reading activities and playgroups. 29．Why would people like to join in the Turquoise Table movement? A．To spread the color turquoise. B．To improve communication skills. C．To start a business selling picnic tables. D．To create community connections in front yards. 30．What is the best title for the text? A．Turquoise—A Color That Can Match All the Tables B．Everyday Greatness—Tables Where All Are Welcome C．The Turquoise Table—A Worldwide Movement on Picnic D．Community Gathering Activities—People’s Greatest Need 【答案】27．C 28．C 29．D 30．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述一张错放在前院的餐桌的故事，它吸引更多人在此逗留，邻居纷纷效仿该做法，世界各地也都有了这种友好的餐桌。 27．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Ten years ago, Kristin Schell and her family moved to a new home in Austin, Texas. She tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting reading activities and playgroups.(十年前，Kristin Schell和她的家人搬到了德克萨斯州奥斯汀的新家。她试图通过举办阅读活动和游戏小组来与新邻居建立联系)”可知，Kristin Schell和她的家人搬到新家后，她试图通过举办阅读活动和游戏小组与邻居建立联系，由此可知，Kristin搬到新家后举办活动是为了与邻居搞好关系。故选C项。 28．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“That turquoise table became the place where Kristin and her kids hung out. For activities they used to do at the kitchen table, they now did out front at the picnic table. They played games, did crafts and ate snacks. (那张绿松石桌子成了Krisan和她的孩子们玩耍的地方。因为他们以前在厨房餐桌上做的活动。他们现在在外面的野餐桌上做。他们玩游戏，做手工，吃零食)”可知，Krisan和她的孩子们现在经常在外面的餐桌上做一些活动，由此可知，绿松石色的桌子改变了Kristin一家，他们开始更多地待在户外。故选C项。 29．推理判断题。根据第四段“Construction workers in the neighborhood took their lunch breaks at the table. A babysitter walking by with her young child sat down to rest. Then neighbors told Kristi their family could put a picnic table in their front yard too. Soon “The Turquoise Table” was born, a movement of ordinary people who want to gather right in their own front yards.(附近的建筑工人在餐桌上吃午饭。一个带着小孩的保姆路过，坐下来休息。后来，邻居们告诉Kristi，他们家也可以在前院放一张野餐桌。不久，“绿松石桌”诞生了，这是一场普通人想要在自家前院聚会的运动)”可知，建筑工人在餐桌旁午休，保姆带着年幼的孩子坐下来休息，邻居们也打算在前院放一张野餐桌，很快，绿松石桌活动诞生了，结合第五段中的“She likes how it enables her to take a small step toward building relationships in her community.(她喜欢它能让她在社区中建立关系迈出一小步)”可知，Kristin很高兴一张野餐桌让她朝着建立社区联系迈出一小步，由此推断，人们纷纷加入绿松石餐桌运动是为了在自己的前院创建社群联系。故选D项。 30．主旨大意题。根据首段中的“Ten years ago, Kristin Schell and her family moved to a new home in Austin, Texas. She tried to connect with her new neighbors by hosting reading activities and playgroups.(十年前，Kristin Schell和她的家人搬到了德克萨斯州奥斯汀的新家。她试图通过举办阅读活动和游戏小组来与新邻居建立联系)”可知，Kristin和家人搬到了德克萨斯州奥斯汀的新家后，想通过一些活动与新邻居建立联系，结合下文中的介绍的Kristin偶然在前院放了一张绿松石色的桌子，吸引更多人在此逗留，邻居纷纷效仿该做法，世界各地也都有了这种友好的餐桌的故事，由此推断，所以标题“日常的伟大——欢迎所有人的餐桌”与文本内容一致，适合作文章标题。故选B项。 Passage10.【2024·山东临沂·一模】 Watford and her family have lived in Curtis Bay, Baltimore for generations. Her community has faced environmental injustice. Heavy industries continued to move in her community. As a result, her neighbors have had to live with serious respiratory (呼吸的) problems. When she knew a plan to build the nation’s largest trash-burning incinerator (焚化炉) less than a mile away from her high school, she realized she had to take action. The incinerator was being sold wrongly as clean, renewable energy equipment but actually it would be a source of brain-damaging chemicals and would release 200 million tons of greenhouse gases per year, both worse than coal burning. Watford felt she had a responsibility to warn her community to work together to shut this plant down. She co-founded Free Your Voice (FYV), a 10-person student organization devoted to community rights and social justice. Together, they decided to start a campaign to take down Energy Answers, the incinerator’s developer. They went door-to-door talking to neighbors and organizing protests. When it was discovered that Baltimore City Public Schools (BCPS) was going to be a customer of Energy Answers, the organization fought with the board and presented their case, urging BCPS to withdraw from the project. BCPS was convinced to cancel their contract, which in turn inspired 22 other customers to do the same. Without any financial gain, Energy Answers had no market to move forward with its plan. Watford continues to work with Curtis Bay residents toward fair development. They have a vision for the future which includes building a zero-waste movement, a solar farm, and green jobs. She wants the entire human family to join the fight for environmental justice because survival as a species depends on our ability to take action. 31．What caused respiratory problems in Watford’s community? A．Poor medical care. B．Terrible environmental conditions. C．Constant bacterial infection. D．Unbalanced distribution of resources. 32．What is Watford’s attitude to building the incinerator? A．Unfavourable. B．Doubtful. C．Unclear. D．Indifferent. 33．What was the result of their campaign? A．BCPS lost financial support. B．Energy Answers stopped its plan. C．The investors found new market. D．Many customers revised their contracts. 34．What would be the best title for the text? A．A teenage hero against urban pollution B．A teenage hero fighting for an advanced city C．A battle for Baltimore’s sky by a teenage hero D．The social justice challenge for a teenage hero 【答案】31．B 32．A 33．B 34．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述恶劣的环境导致Watford所在社区出现健康问题，Watford和另外9个学生成立Free Your Voice组织，发起反对建立垃圾焚化炉的运动，最终迫使该项目被叫停。 31．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Her community has faced environmental injustice. Heavy industries continued to move in her community. As a result, her neighbors have had to live with serious respiratory (呼吸的) problems.(她的社区面临着环境的不公正。重工业继续往她的社区迁移。结果，她的邻居不得不忍受严重的呼吸问题)”可知，恶劣的环境条件导致Watford社区出现呼吸问题，故选B。 32．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Watford felt she had a responsibility to warn her community to work together to shut this plant down.(Watford觉得她有责任警告她的社区共同努力关闭这家工厂)”可知，Watford不支持建立垃圾焚化炉，故选A。 33．细节理解题。根据第四段中“BCPS was convinced to cancel their contract, which in turn inspired 22 other customers to do the same. Without any financial gain, Energy Answers had no market to move forward with its plan.(BCPS被说服取消了合同，这反过来又激励了其他22家客户也这样做。没有任何经济收益，Energy Answers就没有市场来推进其计划)”可知，Watford发起的运动结果是迫使开发商Energy Answers停止了其计划。故选B。 34．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第三段中“Together, they decided to start a campaign to take down Energy Answers, the incinerator’s developer.(他们一起决定发起一场运动，打倒垃圾焚烧炉的开发商Energy Answers)”和最后一段中“She wants the entire human family to join the fight for environmental justice because survival as a species depends on our ability to take action.(她希望整个人类大家庭都加入到环境正义的斗争中来，因为作为一个物种的生存取决于我们采取行动的能力)”可知，文章主要讲述恶劣的环境导致Watford所在社区出现健康问题，Watford和另外9个学生成立Free Your Voice组织，发起反对建立垃圾焚化炉的运动，最终迫使该项目被叫停，C项“少年英雄为巴尔的摩的天空而战”为最佳标题，故选C。 Passage11.【2024·山东潍坊·模拟预测】 Michael and his wife, new residents in a San Francisco apartment, learned about their neighbor Jeff Dunan’s volunteer work for Bangladesh Relief, an organization that provides food, clothing and essential supplies for disadvantaged people in northern Bangladesh. Inspired, Michael donated $150 to Dunan’s GoFundMe campaign. However, a credit card notification alerted him to an unintended $15,041 charge. When he saw the five-figure number, he was confused. Soon, it all made sense. Michael’s credit card number started with four and one. Clearly, he accidentally began typing his credit card information while his cursor (光标) was still in the donation box. Michael planned to call Dunan to explain, but before he had the chance to do that, he started receiving Facebook messages from Shohag Chandra, the charity’s Bangladesh-based program manager, thanking him for his generous donation. After he looked through the photos of people holding thank-you signs that read his name, Michael’s heart sank. He felt terrible that he had to withdraw his handsome donation. Once his original contribution was refunded, he decided to donate $1,500. Although Michael had told his family and friends about the tale, he decided to share it publicly on social media, after Dunan told him the organization was desperately in need of funds. “The least I could do was take the time to post this story online and see if I could inspire other people to donate to the cause,” Michael said. Little did he know, though, that the story would be seen far and wide, ending up raising more than $120,000 for Bangladesh Relief in the span of only a few weeks—about eight times Michael’s mistaken donation. According to Dunan, more than 3,700 people have contributed because of Michael’s post. Michael has been stunned (震惊) by the ongoing outpouring of support. “Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine this reaction,” he said. “People can be amazing when they come together for something like this.” 35．How did Michael make the large donation? A．He input an incorrect amount. B．He encountered a system error. C．He was greatly inspired by Dunan. D．He entered wrong credit card details. 36．Why did Michael’s heart sink according to Paragraph 3? A．He saw people in despair. B．He failed to offer enough money. C．He didn’t receive the full refund. D．He realized the scale of his mistake. 37．What motivated Michael to share the story on social media? A．Dunan’s request for publicity. B．A desire for personal recognition. C．The organization’s urgent need for funds. D．Pressure from his family and friends. 38．What message does the story convey? A．Actions speak louder than words. B．Many hands make light work. C．Always prepare for a rainy day. D．A good beginning is half of victory. 【答案】35．A 36．D 37．C 38．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了主人公Michael输错捐款金额后将故事分享到网上，结果吸引了更多人关注孟加拉国的灾情，募集到了更多的资金。 35．细节理解题。根据第二段“Michael’s credit card number started with four and one. Clearly, he accidentally began typing his credit card information while his cursor (光标) was still in the donation box. (迈克尔的信用卡号码是以4加1开头的。很明显，当他的光标还在捐款箱里时，他不小心开始输入他的信用卡信息。)”可知，迈克尔捐了一大笔钱，因为他输入的金额不正确。故选A。 36．推理判断题。根据第三段“Michael planned to call Dunan to explain, but before he had the chance to do that, he started receiving Facebook messages from Shohag Chandra, the charity’s Bangladesh-based program manager, thanking him’ for his generous donation. After he looked through the photos of people holding thank-you signs that read his name, Michael’s heart sank. He felt terrible that he had to withdraw his handsome donation. Once his original contribution was refunded, he decided to donate $1,500. (迈克尔计划打电话给杜南解释，但在他有机会这么做之前，他开始收到慈善机构孟加拉国项目经理肖哈格·钱德拉发来的脸书信息，感谢他的慷慨捐赠。当他看完那些举着写有他名字的感谢牌的人的照片后，迈克尔的心沉了下去。他不得不收回他的大笔捐款，这让他感到很难过。一旦他的原始捐款被退还，他决定捐赠1500美元。)” 可知，此时他认识到自己的大笔捐款产生了很大的影响，所以开始后悔自己申请退款的举动。故选D。 37．细节理解题。根据第四段“Although Michael had told his family and friends about the tale, he decided to share it publicly on social media, after Dunan told him the organization was desperately in need of funds. (虽然迈克尔已经告诉了他的家人和朋友这个故事，但在杜南告诉他该组织急需资金后，他决定在社交媒体上公开分享。)”可知，迈克尔是在杜南告诉了他这个团体急需资金之后决定在网上分享这件事的。故选C。 38．推理判断题。通读全文，并结合最后一段的“Little did he know, though, that the story would be seen far and wide, ending up raising more than $120,000 for Bangladesh Relief in the span of only a few weeks—about eight times Michael’s mistaken donation. According to Dunan, more than 3,700 people have contributed because of Michael’s post. Michael has been stunned ( 震惊) by the ongoing outpouring of support. “Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine this reaction,” he said. “People can be amazing when they come together for something like this.”(然而，他并不知道，这个故事会被广泛传播，最终在短短几周内为孟加拉国救济组织筹集了12万多美元——大约是迈克尔错误捐款的8倍。据杜南说，有超过3700人因为迈克尔的帖子而捐款。迈克尔被源源不断的支持惊呆了:“我做梦也没想到会有这样的反应，”他说。“当人们聚在一起做这样的事情时，他们会很了不起。”) ”可知，文章主要叙述了Michael为什么一开始决定捐款、捐款金额有误的原因以及后续如何吸引了更多人捐款的故事。故事始于Michael一个人的善意，结尾时3700多人都加入了捐款活动，短时间内就筹集到了大笔资金。因此，B项“众人拾柴火焰高”正确。A. Actions speak louder than words.(行动胜于言语)；B. Many hands make light work. (众人拾柴火焰高)；C. Always prepare for a rainy day. (未雨绸缪)；D.A good beginning is half of victory. (良好的开端是成功的一半)。故选B。 Passage12.【2024·山东济南·模拟预测】 For some of us, going to the dentist for routine check-ups is a thing of the ordinary. But for many people around the world, especially those in impoverished (贫困的) areas, having dental improvement and their teeth checked simply isn’t possible. A Brazilian dentist Felipe Rossi has devoted himself to helping changing that situation. Growing up in USA, Felipe Rossi had just obtained the Bachelor of Medicine Degree and was about to start a master’s degree in Pediatric Dentistry (儿童口腔学) when a journey to his father’s home — Balsabo in Brazil — converted his initial plan. “All locals didn’t have access to dental care, and consequently, many of them suffered deformed teeth or even loss of teeth, leading to many people not daring to laugh with mouth open.” Felipe Rossi recalled. “A desire was planted in my heart. That is, to use my skills to bring healthy smiles to people suffering from dental problems.” With the support of his parents, Felipe formed an NGO (non-government organization) called Porsorriso to give free oral treatments to individuals with low incomes who require cleaning. fillings, crowns, restoration work and more. His team is composed of approximately 30 registered volunteers who go with him to poor towns and villages in Brazil. Sponsorship is generally provided by two private companies. Individuals may also make donations through the ‘Smile Solidarity’ program, where they can choose monthly amounts to contribute. Porsorriso also holds regular fundraisers to afford the cost of providing free dental services around the country. As noble as its objective is, Felipe admits that Porsorriso is “struggling to survive” because of the huge cost of providing dental work and the constant fundraising events they have to hold to keep the NGO in normal functioning. “Challenging as it is, it did bring healthy teeth as well as renewed confidence to the locals.

But for many people around the world, especially those in impoverished (贫困的) areas, having dental improvement and their teeth checked simply isn’t possible. A Brazilian dentist Felipe Rossi has devoted himself to helping changing that situation.(对我们中的一些人来说，去牙医那里做例行检查是一件很平常的事情。但对世界上许多人来说，尤其是那些生活在贫困地区的人来说，改善牙齿和检查牙齿根本是不可能的。巴西牙医费利佩·罗西致力于帮助改变这种状况)”可知，文章开头通过对比一些人定期去牙医处进行常规检查，而世界上很多人尤其是贫困地区的人们无法进行牙科治疗和牙齿检查的情况，引出了文章的主题，即巴西牙医Felip e Rossi致力于帮助改变这种情况。因此，作者通过提出对比来引入文章的主题。故选A项。 40．细节理解题。根据第二段““All locals didn’t have access to dental care, and consequently, many of them suffered deformed teeth or even loss of teeth, leading to many people not daring to laugh with mouth open.” Felipe Rossi recalled. “A desire was planted in my heart.

We will continue this transformative act whatever difficulties we will face”. Felipe said with a strong will.(尽管目标崇高，Felipe承认Porsorriso正在‘挣扎着生存’，因为提供牙科治疗的巨大成本和他们必须举行的持续筹款活动以保持非政府组织的正常运作。‘虽然这很有挑战性，但它确实给当地人带来了健康的牙齿，并重新树立了信心。无论我们面临什么困难，我们都将继续这一变革行动。’斐利贝带着强烈的意志说)”可知，他承认Porsorriso的生存很困难，但他们将继续进行这项改变性的行动，无论他们将面临什么困难，这表明他具有奉献精神。故选D项。 42．细节理解题。根据第四段“Sponsorship is generally provided by two private companies. Individuals may also make donations through the ‘Smile Solidarity’ program, where they can choose monthly amounts to contribute. Porsorriso also holds regular fundraisers to afford the cost of providing free dental services around the country.(赞助通常由两家私人公司提供。个人也可以通过‘微笑团结’计划捐款，他们可以选择每月的捐款数额。Porsorriso还定期举行筹款活动，为全国各地提供免费牙科服务)”可知，Porsorriso是由企业和个人提供经济支持。故选C项。 Passage13.【2024·山东威海·二模】 As a child, I was keen on collecting moths（飞蛾）and butterflies. By adulthood, I could identify about 700 species by sight, recognizing the stripes, dots and colors on their wings and bodies. In 1972, I moved to Australia and continued collecting. But I started to struggle: identifying them quickly became an impossible task. The species there were so different from those at home, and there was no space in my mind to recognize them all. My crisis soon increased. Throughout the 1970s, I led expeditions to Papua New Guinea to collect moths. One night, we could collect more than twice as many as those I had memorized in my childhood. Identifying them felt overwhelming. I gave up and stopped working on moths. But my instinct to identify them never went away. Two decades later, I was in a supermarket and an idea started to develop in my mind: what if a part of DNA could be used to differentiate between species Just 13 lines on. the supermarket barcodes（条形码）were being used to identify products What if we could identify species in the same way? To test the idea, I began collecting the moths again. Each sample had to donate a leg to science. I believed that COI（a single segment of a rapidly evolving gene）present in almost all animals could be used to tell species. With their legs, we used the PCR method to focus in on their section of COI. One by one, it became clear: every single moth could be sorted using a tiny slice of their genome（基因组）DNA barcoding was 100% successful on its first test. In our study paper, we claimed that we had discovered a reliable, inexpensive and accessible solution to identifying the millions of animal species waiting to be discovered. I believe DNA barcoding is humanity’s first shot at finally discovering all life on Earth. This technique has helped conservationists to fight against wildlife crime and monitor the impact of mining on bıodiversity. One day, I am confident it will form part of a system to monitor the biosphere the Same way we monitor the weather. 43．How did the author recognize moth species in his childhood? A．By turning to books. B．By using lab equipment. C．By obseiving their behavior. D．By distinguishing their appearance. 44．What does the underlined “My crisis” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．The loss of interest in studying moths. B．The impossibility of recognizing moths. C．The pressure of discovering new moth species. D．The challenge of collecting as many moth samples. 45．What inspired the author to use DNA for species identification? A．The ease of using PCR to focus on COI. B．The simplicity of supermarket barcodes. C．The success of DNA barcoding on moths. D．The availability of COI in almost all animals. 46．What might DNA barcoding be used for in the future according to the text? A．Protecting wildlife habitats. B．Tracking wildlife population. C．Assisting in monitoring biodiversity. D．Updating weather monitoring systems. 【答案】43．D 44．B 45．B 46．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者喜欢收集飞蛾和蝴蝶。到成年时，作者可以通过视觉识别大约700种物种，识别它们翅膀和身体上的条纹、点和颜色。二十年后，作者在一家超市里，一个想法开始在作者脑海中浮现：DNA的一部分可以用来区分物种。作者相信DNA条形码是人类最终发现地球上所有生命的第一次尝试。这项技术帮助自然资源保护主义者打击野生动物犯罪，并监测采矿对生物多样性的影响。 43．细节理解题。根据第一段“As a child, I was keen on collecting moths（飞蛾）and butterflies.  By adulthood, I could identify about 700 species by sight, recognizing the stripes, dots and colors on their wings and bodies.”（小时候，我喜欢收集飞蛾和蝴蝶。到成年时，我可以通过视觉识别大约700种物种，识别它们翅膀和身体上的条纹、点和颜色。）可知，作者小时候是通过区分飞蛾的外表来认识飞蛾种类的。故选D项。 44．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“But I started to struggle: identifying them quickly became an impossible task.

I grew tired of backpackers expressing too much praise about how petting a baby elephant in Thailand “transformed” them. Globe-traveling to me held no more promise than finding a few bills in the pocket of an old coat. I needed something deeper than an Eat, Play, Love moment. One day, Vasilis, my Greek best friend, reminded me of our decade-old promise: after our final exams, I would visit his hometown in Athens. Maybe, it was time to make good on that promise. I finally boarded the plane. Vasilis picked me up at the airport. I smiled, thinking how improbable this moment seemed all those years ago. The decade-long wait proved to be well worth it. Every step through the ancient streets revealed new wonders. However, none of them truly mattered. What would forever alter my perception of travel was a chance encounter with a local. Vasilis and I were wandering Athens when a special sound caught our attention — a rhythmic clinking disturbing the quietness of the residential street. Curiously, we followed the sound to a humble workshop. Inside, a welder (焊工) gave no mind to our presence behind him. He wore no flashy protective suit — this was just another day for him, another dance with fire and metal that had become second nature. Under the sunshade, his orange cat rested in the comforting warmth... As the man continued welding, I felt a bit of envy. I envied his peace and contentment. I admired the simplicity he embodied. I imagined the welder happy, finding fulfillment in his craft (手艺) and returning to his loving family...The moment moved me to tears. Leaving the workshop, rain blending with tears, I realized how easily life’s poetry could pass unnoticed. Home again in Montreal, I stop simply pursuing better things, better experiences and better people that are never grasped. I realize the real journey is inward — to appreciate life’s ordinary magic. That sure beats petting any baby elephant. I may not have returned home “transformed,” but I’ll always think of the welder and his cat. 55．Which aspect of travelling makes the author feel uneasy? A．Shortage of adequate funds. B．Discomfort in dietary habits. C．Overstatement of travel’s effects. D．Danger of petting baby animals. 56．What drove the author to go to Athens? A．Meeting a commitment. B．Exploring a unique landscape. C．Receiving further education. D．Escaping from the current life. 57．What does the underlined word “poetry” in paragraph 6 probably refer to? A．Poems written by masters. B．Peace and simplicity. C．Spirit of craftsmanship. D．Special sound in the street. 58．Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A．Friendship Lasts Forever B．Travelling Shapes a Better Self C．Pursuit of Happiness Never Stops D．The Ordinary Makes Extraordinary 【答案】55．C 56．A 57．B 58．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者对旅行的深刻反思，从最初对旅行改变人生的夸张说法感到厌倦，到在希腊雅典一次偶遇当地焊工的经历中，感悟到生活中平凡之美的诗意与满足，从而意识到真正的旅程是向内寻找，珍惜生活中的平凡奇迹。 55．推理判断题。由文章第一段中“Travelling seemed like falsehood to me. I grew tired of backpackers expressing too much praise about how petting a baby elephant in Thailand “transformed” them.(对我来说，旅行似乎是骗人的。我已经厌倦了背包客们对在泰国抚摸小象如何“改变”了他们的赞不绝口。)”可知，旅行影响的过度陈述让作者感到不安，觉得是骗人的。故选C。 56．细节理解题。由文章第二段中“One day, Vasilis, my Greek best friend, reminded me of our decade-old promise: after our final exams, I would visit his hometown in Athens.  Maybe, it was time to make good on that promise.(有一天，我最好的希腊朋友瓦西里斯让我想起了我们十年前的约定：期末考试结束后，我要去他的家乡雅典。也许，是时候兑现这个承诺了。)”可知，为了兑现履行承诺，作者去了雅典。故选A。 57．词句猜测题。由文章倒数第二段“As the man continued welding, I felt a bit of envy. I envied his peace and contentment. I admired the simplicity he embodied. I imagined the welder happy, finding fulfillment in his craft (手艺) and returning to his loving family...The moment moved me to tears. Leaving the workshop, rain blending with tears, I realized how easily life’s poetry could pass unnoticed.(当那个人继续焊接时，我感到有点嫉妒。我羡慕他的平静和满足。我钦佩他所体现的纯朴。我想象着焊工快乐，在他的手艺中找到满足，回到他爱的家庭……那一刻我感动得流下了眼泪。离开车间，雨中夹杂着泪水，我意识到生活的诗意是多么容易被忽视。)”可知，这里的“诗意”并非指具体的诗歌，而是指前文描述的焊工那种平和、满足的生活状态，以及他对工艺的热爱和简单生活的美好。故选B。 58．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章最后一段“Home again in Montreal, I stop simply pursuing better things, better experiences and better people that are never grasped. I realize the real journey is inward — to appreciate life’s ordinary magic. That sure beats petting any baby elephant. I may not have returned home “transformed,” but I’ll always think of the welder and his cat.(回到蒙特利尔的家，我不再简单地追求更好的事物、更好的经历和更好的人，而这些都是永远无法抓住的。我意识到真正的旅程是内在的——去欣赏生活平凡的魔力。这可比抚摸小象强多了。我回家时也许没有“变了”，但我总会想起那个焊工和他的猫。)”可知，文章通过作者的旅行经历，特别是雅典之行中与当地焊工的邂逅，让作者领悟到了平凡生活中的不平凡之美，改变了对旅行意义的看法，因此最合适的标题是选项D. “The Ordinary Makes Extraordinary平凡造就非凡”，它贴切地反映了作者的心路历程和文章的核心思想。故选D。 Passage17.【2024·山东泰安·一模】 When Stanford University student Ellen Xu was a five-year-old in California, she vividly recalls her parents rushing her little sister to the hospital. Three-year-old Kate had fallen acutely ill; she had a fever, reddened eyes, a rash and some swelling in her hands and tongue. At first, the puzzled doctors thought she had influenza, but when her condition didn’t improve, the Xus returned to the emergency room, where a doctor by chance had prior experience with an acute inflammatory (炎症性的) reaction in the blood vessels known as Kawasaki disease. Though rare, it’s the leading cause of acquired heart disease in babies and young children, and its cause and triggers remain somewhat mysterious. The doctor knew how to treat it: He ordered a dose of intravenous immunoglobulin, and eventually Kate shook off the illness without suffering damage to her heart. Xu remembers being curious about her sister’s dramatic condition and was amazed that the grown-ups couldn’t answer her questions about why it was so hard to detect. “In my mind, it was this mystery, she says. ”It was a puzzle I wanted to solve. “ A decade later, wanting to enter a high school science fair, she had an idea: ”What if we had a doctor in our pocket?“ So she created just that: Using AT, Xu designed an algorithm(算法) that uses visual data to diagnose (诊断) Kawasaki disease based on five physical symptoms. The technology works the same way as apps that can identify birds and plants with photos you’ve taken on your cellphone. Worried parents can upload a photo that they have taken of their child, and the technology will scan the image for symptoms of Kawasaki disease, which often have a strong visual element, such as a rash or a swollen tongue. Xu’s invention has been applied as a web app on the Kawasaki Disease Foundation’s website without charge. ”The technology could also be developed for recognizing auto-immune and rheumatological (风湿病学的) diseases, “ she says. ”It means a lot to me. I want to use Al to help people live happier and healthier lives. “ 59．Why was Kawasaki disease so hard to diagnose? A．It had no symptoms. B．It had never been known before. C．It could be confused with influenza. D．It couldn’t be diagnosed by medical instruments. 60．What’s the function of the first three paragraphs? A．To describe the bad results of the disease. B．To introduce a case remaining mysterious. C．To show why Xu developed the technology. D．To prove doctors should accumulate clinical experience. 61．What’s the advantage of Xu’s invention? A．It is convenient and cheap. B．It can take the place of doctors. C．It can treat Kawasaki disease quickly. D．It can diagnose Kawasaki disease via scanned pictures. 62．What can be learned from the text? A．The technology is an AI-powered diagnosed tool. B．Xu had the idea of the technology when Kate was treated. C．The technology can’t be applied to diagnose other diseases. D．Influenza is the leading reason of acquired heart disease in babies. 【答案】59．C 60．C 61．D 62．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了女孩Ellen小时候见到医生们一开始没有正确诊断出妹妹Kate生的病，后来Kate遇到一名碰巧有过相似经历的医生，才得到有效的治疗，因对妹妹病情的好奇，以及医生无法检查出这种罕见病的惊讶，Ellen在十年后利用人工智能技术创造了一个程序，可以根据症状检测疾病，帮助人们快速获得诊断，改善健康状况，她的发明已被应用于网页应用程序中，她希望通过人工智能帮助更多人过上更快乐、更健康的生活。 59．推理判断题。由文章第二段第一句“At first, the puzzled doctors thought she had influenza, but when her condition didn’t improve, the Xus returned to the emergency room, where a doctor by chance had prior experience with an acute inflammatory (炎症性的) reaction in the blood vessels known as Kawasaki disease.”（起初，困惑的医生们以为她得了流感，但当她的病情没有好转时，徐一家人回到了急诊室，一位医生偶然有过急性炎症的经历，血管中的急性炎症反应称为川崎病。）可知，医生一开始以为她得了流感，说明这种疾病很容易与流感混淆，难以诊断，所以病情没有好转。故选C项。 60．推理判断题。文章的前两段叙述了Ellen在5岁时经历妹妹Kate得病的情景，以及Kate最终通过一位医生发现并治疗了罕见病的过程，以及文章第三段“Xu remembers being curious about her sister’s dramatic condition and was amazed that the grown-ups couldn’t answer her questions about why it was so hard to detect. “In my mind, it was this mystery, she says. ”It was a puzzle I wanted to solve.””（徐记得当时她很好奇妹妹的突然性状况，并惊讶于成年人无法回答她为什么很难发现的问题。“在我看来，这就是一个谜，”她说，“这是一个我想解开的谜题。”）可知，因为妹妹的病情，Ellen萌生了想要解决这个问题的念头，由此可知，前三段是Ellen想解开心中难题的动机，所以后来利用人工智能技术创造了一个程序。故选C项。 61．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Worried parents can upload a photo that they have taken of their child, and the technology will scan the image for symptoms of Kawasaki disease, which often have a strong visual element, such as a rash or a swollen tongue.”（忧心忡忡的父母可以上传他们为孩子拍摄的照片，这项技术将扫描图像以寻找川崎病的症状，川崎病通常具有强烈的视觉因素，如皮疹或舌头肿胀。）可知，它可以通过扫描图片诊断川崎病。故选D项。 62．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“So she created just that: Using AT, Xu designed an algorithm( 算法 ) that uses visual data to diagnose (诊断) Kawasaki disease based on five physical symptoms.”（所以她创造了这个：使用人工智能，徐设计了一个算法，它使用视觉数据进行诊断以五种身体症状为基础的川崎病）可知，该技术是一种人工智能驱动的诊断工具。故选A项。 Passage18.【2024·山东菏泽·模拟预测】 Museum of Broadway This museum, which opened in 2022, puts exhibits about Broadway centre stage. It has teamed up with internationally renowned artists, designers and theatre historians to create an interactive experience that highlights groundbreaking moments in Broadway’s history—the moments that pushed creative boundaries, challenged social norms and paved the way for those who would follow.The Museum of Modern Art The museum has been showcasing the world’s finest modern and contemporary works for almost a century, having opened back in 1929. The institution’s evolving collection contains 200,000 works from around the world, including painting, sculpture, printmaking, drawing, photography, architecture, design, film, media and performance art. Highlights of the collection include Van Gogh’s The Starry Night.
