What is the purpose of holding the artwork competition? A To increase the sales of Teen Ink. B. To attract people of all ages to the activity. C. To test the teenagers’ artistic creativity. D. To praise the young artists for their talents 2. What rules should the participants follow? A. The works should be a team effort. B. The participants should be under 13. C. The content should be in connection with the subject. D. A common account should be shared. 3. How will the participants submit their works? A. By submitting works on the webpage. B.

B Recently, more than 1,000 researchers and executives signed an open letter calling for a pause (暂停) in research on artificial intelligence. The letter warns that AI may threaten jobs, spread propaganda (宣传), and even lead to the “loss of control of our civilization”. Many of the signatories (签署者) are thoughtful and experienced AI practitioners. Their concerns should be taken seriously. On balance, though, their approach is likely to evolve into an opposition to progress. Consider the broader worldview expressed in this document. It said, “Powerful AI systems should be developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and risks manageable.” This is a formula for complete stop, as no one can ever be so confident. The history of innovation is one of trial and error, risk and reward. One reason why the US leads the world in digital technology is that it did not constrain (约束) the industry with well-meaning but doubtful regulation. Slowing Al progress, moreover, carries risks all its own. Don't forget that this technology is likely to make the world richer, healthier, smarter and more productive for decades to come. By 2030, it might be contributing more than $15 trillion to the global economy. Advances in medicine, biology, climate science, education, manufacturing, transportation and much more are on the horizon. Any new rules must be balanced against the vast potential of these efforts. Nor is AI research advancing into a void (空白领域). The industry already operates within legal parameters (范畴) in response to potential harms. Companies have ensured their products are safe. Trade associations are developing codes of conduct and ethical frameworks. Far from the“ out-of-control race”, the AI business is constrained by law and politics and consumer sentiment (情绪). It's natural to worry about new technologies but the wealth and abundance of American society is due in no small part to risks taken in the past, in a spirit of openness and optimism. The AI revolution deserves no less. 4. Why did the researchers and executives sign the open letter? A. Because the research on AI had been paused. B. Because AI had uncontrollably destroyed human civilization. C. Because they were worried about the potential risks of AI. D. Because they were more experienced than others in AI field. 5. Why is the US mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To support that innovation comes from taking risks. B. To stress that the US is very important in the digital field. C. To draw attention to the benefits of well-meaning regulations. D. To reveal those people's real purpose of signing the letter. 6. What can we infer from this passage? A. Al technology consumes more money than it can earn. B. Society will hugely benefit from AI technology in the future. C. The AI industry is now developing without any restrictions. D. The development of AI technology is just a solo effort. 7. What is the passage mainly about? A. Regulations on AI are well-intended but doubtful. B. The future of AI is filled with unmanageable risks. C. AI safety concerns justify a temporary research pause. D. A pause in AI would hold back progress in innovation. C A girl is driving with her parents when they spot watercress growing by the side of the road. Her parents stop and take her out of the back seat. They ask her to take off her shoes and roll up her jeans to help them gather it. It is the beginning of the story in Watercress, a picture book written by Andrea Wang. The story is based on her childhood. “My parents actually spotted watercress growing by the side of the road in Ohio where I grew up,” Wang says. “And I was horribly embarrassed to get out and gather the watercress from the dirty water. It really made me aware of how different I was from my friends. But for my parents, it brought back memories of their home country and it was a connection to their homeland that they had left behind.” The feeling of being ashamed of our parents is universal. We’ve probably all experienced that at some point. “I remember walking 20 feet behind my parents when we were walking down the street, pretending that I didn’t belong to them,” Wang laughs. The pictures in Watercress have drawn inspiration from Chinese landscape paintings, which often have mountains covered in clouds. “It always has felt dreamlike to me when I look at those paintings. And I thought it would be nice to bring it into my book because of its theme of memory,” Wang explains. Unlike the little girl in the story, Andrea Wang didn’t hear any story about her parents’ childhoods until she was an adult. “My parents were trying to protect me, by not telling me the hardships they went through,” Wang says. But as a kid, Wang remembers feeling disconnected from her history. “I think it’s really important for families to share what they can,” Wang says. “So that kids know that history and can feel a sense of pride in their culture.” 8. How did Andrea Wang feel when she was told to gather watercress? A. Excited. B. Curious. C. Scared. D. Ashamed. 9. What does the word “universal” underlined in paragraph 3 mean? A. Making sb feel a little bit angry. B. Being true at all times and in all places. C. Needing skill to do or understand. D. Being related to a particular group or society. 10. What does Andrea Wang say about Chinese landscape paintings? A. They are boring. B. They are difficult. C. They are beautiful. D. They are expensive. 11. What does Andrea Wang suggest parents do? A. Avoid talking about hardships. B. Explain whatever they went through. C. Tell their kids to be proud of their culture. D. Share some of their experiences with their kids. D Everywhere I look, there are new buildings under construction. The neighborhoods that I knew as a boy, filled with beautiful old buildings, have mostly disappeared, and in their place, modern, high-rise buildings have appeared. There is good reason for this. Residents want all the conveniences of modern living. However, how can our children understand and maintain their cultural identity if we erase so much of the physical evidence of it? The arguments for preserving historic buildings are not simply about an emotional attachment to the past. There are also good economic arguments in favour of preservation. The renovation (修缮) and preservation of historic districts can become an economic engine drawing tourists and small businesses to the area. For example, in Dubai, the historic Al Bastikiya district draws thousands of tourists every year from all over the world. It also attracts local residents, eager to learn about their city's past. Some have argued that historic preservation is too expensive, but many recent projects have demonstrated that this is not necessarily the case. In fact, renovation of an existing structure for adaptive reuse can cost about £40 per square metre less than even the most basic new construction, while preserving the beauty of the original building. And, although it is often claimed that old buildings have a more significant environmental footprint than new construction because they aren’t very energy efficient, architects and environmental experts maintain that the greenest building is the one that is already built. New construction almost always has a more serious environmental impact (影响) because it requires the use of all-new materials that must be transported, often over long distances, instead of recycled materials that are already on site. We recycle so many other things. We can and should recycle buildings, too. Historic preservation is an option that opens many possibilities; demolition (拆毁), in contrast, is irreversible. Once these treasures are lost, they are lost forever, an important link in our heritage that can never be recovered. 12. What drives people to replace old buildings with new ones? A. Their dislike of old buildings. B. Their pride in cultural identity. C. Their concern about young generations. D. Their desire for modern comforts. 13. What does the example of Al Bastikiya show? A. Historic renovation costs much money. B. Local governments support small businesses. C. Historic preservation brings economic benefits. D. International tourism promises economic recovery. 14. What can be inferred about renovating old buildings from paragraph 3? A. It uses green materials. B. It damages architectural beauty. C. It reduces enviromental impact. D. It worries environmental experts. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards historic preservation? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Disapproving. D. Objective. 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There may come a time when someone requires your help for a mental health issue. ____16____.

Her father, Gary French, hurried to operate the engine, while Kiana,16, was in the middle with Cierrah, her sister, frightened but still able to keep calm.

Moments later, the unthinkable happened. The boat was full of water and then it flipped over. Kiana and her sister were dumped in the water.

The AI revolution deserves no less.”（担心新技术是很自然的，但美国社会的财富和丰富多彩在很大程度上要归功于过去冒险的精神，这种精神是开放和乐观的。人工智能革命也应该得到同样的待遇）可推知，未来社会将从AI技术中获得巨大的利益。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Recently, more than 1,000 researchers and executives signed an open letter calling for a pause (暂停) in research on artificial intelligence.

It really made me aware of how different I was from my friends.(我十分尴尬地下车，从脏水里采水田芥。这让我知道我与朋友有多不一样。)”可知，当Andrea Wang被要求去采水田芥时，她感到很尴尬，感觉自己与其他朋友不一样，需要在脏水里采水田芥，故感到很羞愧，故选D。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第三段划线词universal后的内容“We’ve probably all experienced that at some point.(我们可能在某个时刻有过这种经历。)”可知，后文提到我们每个人都经历过这种事情，故此处划线词universal意为“普遍存在的”，我们对父母感到羞愧是普遍存在的，都经历过的，故D项“在所有的时间和地点都是真实的存在”是对划线词的解释，故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段““It always has felt dreamlike to me when I look at those paintings. And I thought it would be nice to bring it into my book because of its theme of memory,” Wang explains.( Wang解释道：“当我看到这些画时，这对我来说，像是做梦一样，把它放进我的书里是很不错的，因为它回忆的主题。”)”可知，Wang认为中国山水画就像是梦境一般，很美，故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““I think it’s really important for families to share what they can,” Wang says. “So that kids know that history and can feel a sense of pride in their culture.”(Wang说：“我认为家人一起分享他们能分享的东西真的很重要，这样的话，孩子就能了解历史，能体会文化的自豪感。”)”可知，建议父母与孩子分享他们的经历，这样的话能培养孩子的文化自豪感，故选D。 D Everywhere I look, there are new buildings under construction. The neighborhoods that I knew as a boy, filled with beautiful old buildings, have mostly disappeared, and in their place, modern, high-rise buildings have appeared. There is good reason for this. Residents want all the conveniences of modern living. However, how can our children understand and maintain their cultural identity if we erase so much of the physical evidence of it? The arguments for preserving historic buildings are not simply about an emotional attachment to the past. There are also good economic arguments in favour of preservation. The renovation (修缮) and preservation of historic districts can become an economic engine, drawing tourists and small businesses to the area. For example, in Dubai, the historic Al Bastikiya district draws thousands of tourists every year from all over the world. It also attracts local residents, eager to learn about their city's past. Some have argued that historic preservation is too expensive, but many recent projects have demonstrated that this is not necessarily the case. In fact, renovation of an existing structure for adaptive reuse can cost about £40 per square metre less than even the most basic new construction, while preserving the beauty of the original building. And, although it is often claimed that old buildings have a more significant environmental footprint than new construction because they aren’t very energy efficient, architects and environmental experts maintain that the greenest building is the one that is already built. New construction almost always has a more serious environmental impact (影响) because it requires the use of all-new materials that must be transported, often over long distances, instead of recycled materials that are already on site. We recycle so many other things. We can and should recycle buildings, too. Historic preservation is an option that opens many possibilities; demolition (拆毁), in contrast, is irreversible. Once these treasures are lost, they are lost forever, an important link in our heritage that can never be recovered. 12. What drives people to replace old buildings with new ones? A. Their dislike of old buildings. B. Their pride in cultural identity. C. Their concern about young generations. D. Their desire for modern comforts. 13. What does the example of Al Bastikiya show? A. Historic renovation costs much money. B. Local governments support small businesses. C. Historic preservation brings economic benefits. D. International tourism promises economic recovery. 14. What can be inferred about renovating old buildings from paragraph 3? A. It uses green materials. B. It damages architectural beauty. C. It reduces enviromental impact. D. It worries environmental experts. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards historic preservation? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Disapproving. D. Objective. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章讨论了人们对保护遗产的看法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The neighborhoods that I knew as a boy, filled with beautiful old buildings, have mostly disappeared, and in their place, modern, high-rise buildings have appeared. There is good reason for this. Residents want all the conveniences of modern living.(我小时候所熟悉的社区，到处都是美丽的老建筑，现在大部分都消失了，取而代之的是现代化的高层建筑。这是有充分理由的。居民们想要现代生活的一切便利)”可知，是人们对现代舒适的渴望驱使人们用新建筑取代旧建筑。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The renovation (修缮)and preservation of historic districts can become an economic engine, drawing tourists and small businesses to the area. For example, in Dubai, the historic Al Bastikiya district draws thousands of tourists every year from all over the world.(对历史街区的改造和保护可以成为一个经济引擎，吸引游客和小企业来到该地区。例如，在迪拜，历史悠久的Al bastikiya区每年吸引成千上万来自世界各地的游客)”可知，举Al bastikiya的例子表明：文物保护带来经济效益。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“And, although it is often claimed that old buildings have a more significant environmental footprint than new construction because they aren't very energy efficient, architects and environmental experts maintain that the greenest building is the one that is already built.(而且，尽管人们经常声称老建筑的环境足迹比新建筑更大，因为它们不是很节能，但建筑师和环境专家坚持认为，最环保的建筑是已经建成的建筑)”可推知，翻新旧建筑减少了对环境的影响。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Historic preservation is an option that opens many possibilities; demolition (拆毁), in contrast, is irreversible. Once these treasures are lost, they are lost forever, an important link in our heritage that can never be recovered.(历史保护是一种提供多种可能性的选择；相反，拆迁是不可逆转的。一旦这些宝藏失去，它们就永远失去了，这是我们遗产中一个永远无法恢复的重要环节)”可推知，作者对历史保护的态度是积极的和支持的。故选A项。 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There may come a time when someone requires your help for a mental health issue. ____16____.

(当有人需要帮助时接近他们，并不总是容易知道应该做什么，有时仅仅倾听可能对你来说更有益。)”，而后文则是在解释原因，即可能求助的人本身只是想倾诉，F项意为“他们可能不需要你提供解决方案，甚至连拥抱也不需要”，同样是对前文原因的解释，符合语境，故选F项。 【18题详解】 根据设空位置可知，该处为本段的小标题，是本段内容的概括，根据下文“Sometimes, the best thing you can do is encourage them to seek professional help.

(与经历心理健康问题的人保持联系，让他们知道你总是在那里支持他们。定期与他们联系，了解他们的感受。)”，建议读者要经常联系求助者，关注他们的情绪，E项意为“仅仅知道有人关心你都会给他们带来欣慰”，进一步解释前文所建议的做法的效果，符合语境，故选 E项。 【20题详解】 根据后文“However, it’s important to know your limits. (然而，了解自己的极限是很重要的。)”可知，作者认为我们在帮助别人时应知道自己的局限性，且该意思与前文形成转折关系，G项意为“你的支持对于有着痛苦经历的人来说很有价值”，与后文构成转折关系，符合语境，故选G项。 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,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I was travelling on an overnight bus.

Their 12-foot boat was taking in water little by little, and the wind was picking up. Her father, Gary French, hurried to operate the engine, while Kiana,16, was in the middle with Cierrah, her sister, frightened but still able to keep calm. Kiana asked Cierrah to take off one of her cowboy boots, with which she got some of the water out. Hard as she tried, that little effort would not help stop the boat sinking. Moments later, the unthinkable happened. The boat was full of water and then it flipped over. Kiana and her sister were dumped in the water. Their father, who had had a surgery six months ago, managed not to be thrown into the water but seemed to have great pain in the chest due to the sudden change. Kiana quickly put on her life jacket and saw Cierrah’s and her father’s life jackets floating away. She reacted quickly to get them back and held her sister onto the boat. They were so far out in the middle of the lake that they could not see the shore clearly. What’s worse.it was getting harder to stay above the waves. Their father swam over and hugged his two girls. Cierrah crying silently. Kiana heard her beloved sister murmur, “I can’t feel my feet.” Kiana knew the only thing to do was to get to shore herself and find help. She looked up at her father, exchanging a concerned glance, turned round and swam as hard as she could towards the shore Fighting against the strong currents and cold wind, she screamed for help at the top of her lungs every three minutes or so.

As the boat was approaching, Kiana pointed to her father and sister and someone screamed, “They are in the water! Help!” She was soon picked up and taken towards where her father and sister were. Fortunately, they didn’t drown but her father seemed to be giving out, with one hand holding tight to the boat. the other holding Cierrah. Once rescued, they were rushed to shore, where a concerned group waited for their arrival. They gave clothes and blankets to the three poor people, and then the ambulance arrived. Kiana, her sister and her father were cheeked on the spot and finally sent to the nearest hospital. Later, when asked what gave her the strength and perseverance to continue. both in the cold water and in great fear.
