Things to do The entire town displays the ski-chic atmosphere, hosting dozens of ski and snow board competitions and festivals annually. In the warmer months, more outdoor enthusiasts come out to play. Visitors can try hiking or cycling up the mountains. While Whistler is an ideal vacation spot for the active types, other travelers can enjoy the local museums and art galleries filled within formative exhibits. Plus, there are family-friendly activities and attractions like summer concerts, along with plenty of shopping options. When to visit The best times to visit Whistler are from June through August and between December and March. How to get around The best ways to get around Whistler are on foot or by bike. Or, you can take the shuttlebuses from Whistler Village, which transport visitors to Lost Lake Park and the Marketplace. Meanwhile, having a car will allow you the freedom to explore top attractions like Whistler Train Wreck and Alexander Falls without having to spend a lot of cash on a cab. What you need to know ●Whistler receives feet of snow each year. If you’re driving in winter, slow down and make sure to rent or come with a reliable SUV. ●Snowslides are likely to occur on Backcountry routes, so only advanced skiers should take to this off-the-map area. ●Whistler’s wilderness is home to many black and grizzly bears. Keep your distance and do not feed them. 1. What are active travelers recommended to do in Whistler? A Bike up the mountains. B. Host ski competitions. C. Go shopping at the malls. D. Visit museum exhibitions. 2. Which of the following is the most popular among travelers? A. Whistler Village. B. Lost Lake Park. C. The Marketplace. D. Whistler Train Wreck. 3. What are travelers prohibited from doing in Whistler? A. Driving a rented SUV. B. Feeding grizzly bears. C. Exploring the wilderness. D. Skiing on Backcountry routes. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章是一篇惠斯勒旅游指南，介绍了旅游特色和注意事项等。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Visitors can try hiking or cycling up the mountains.(游客可以尝试徒步旅行或骑自行车上山)”可知，惠斯勒推荐活跃的旅行者骑车上山。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Meanwhile, having a car will allow you the freedom to explore top attractions like Whistler Train Wreck and Alexander Falls without having to spend a lot of cash on a cab.(同时，拥有一辆车可以让你自由地探索像惠斯勒火车残骸和亚历山大瀑布这样的顶级景点，而不必花很多钱打车)”可知，Whistler Train Wreck最受游客欢迎。故选D。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一短“Whistler’s wilderness is home to many black and grizzly bears. Keep your distance and do not feed them.(惠斯勒的荒野是许多黑熊和灰熊的家园。保持距离，不要喂它们)”可知，旅客在惠斯勒禁止喂灰熊。故选B。 B They talk about the straw that broke the camel's back, but really it should be the password that wiped out my memory bank. I was going along the -with instant recall of my bank PIN（密码）, my mobile phone number and the date of my cousin's birthday before I downloaded a gas station payment app for its new customer discount. It asked me to create a password. When I typed in “gas 1”, it was rejected for not being complex enough. I tried again: “I Hate Hearless Oil Companies@”. But that was too long and didn’t include “at least one number”. But here is the thing: as soon as 1 added the fresh password into my memory, I instantly forgot all the others. My brain had hit its limit for passwords. I now know nothing. I had entered some passwords in a notebook. Of course I didn't write down the actual passwords, in case it fell into the wrong hands. Instead, I masked them in a way that only a family member could figure them out. For example, I combined my bank PIN with our postal code, then added it to a list of phone numbers. It would fool even Albert Einstein. Maybe we need a system like the one we use to remember people's names. You know, you form an association between a person's characteristics and their name by whispering “Skinny George, Skinny George”in heart after meeting them. The risk is that, upon seeing him, you’ll burst out the phrase. “Skinny George” might not mind, but it’s possible “Boring Betty” will. As for remembering passwords as you change them, you could simply use the first and last letters of your favorite singer's greatest hits, together with the year of their release. Maybe I’ll try that one out—but only after describing the system in the notebook. Then I'll hide it in a place so secret that I'll never remember where it is. 4. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs? A He fell for a marketing trick. B. He was driven mad by passwords. C. He had a serious memory disorder. D. He was rejected by the gas station. 5. By mentioning Albert Einstein in paragraph 3, the author intends to ______ . A. show how secure his passwords were B. challenge the intelligence of scientists C. prove the uselessness of his passwords D. promote a more scientific password system 6. What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A. To encourage readers to use password notebooks. B. To recommend a password-remembering method. C. To complain about the trouble caused by passwords. D. To point out the importance of using complex passwords. 7. What is the tone of the text? A. Inspiring. B. Indifferent. C. Humorous. D. Serious. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者以一种幽默风趣的方式抱怨自己被各种各样的复杂密码所累。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“They talk about the straw that broke the camel's back, but really it should be the password that wiped out my memory bank.(他们说的是压垮骆驼背的稻草，但实际上应该是密码毁掉了我的记忆库。)”以及第二段“as soon as 1 added the fresh password into my memory, I instantly forgot all the others. My brain had hit its limit for passwords. I now know nothing.(当我把新密码添加到我的记忆中时，我立刻忘记了所有其他密码。我的大脑已经达到了密码的极限。我现在什么都不知道。)”可知作者更新了密码之后却忘记了，被密码所累，分析四个选项，B项“He was driven mad by passwords(他被密码逼疯了)”表达的含义符合语境，故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I masked them in a way that only a family member could figure them out. For example, I combined my bank PIN with our postal code, then added it to a list of phone numbers. It would fool even Albert Einstein(我把密码设置了一种只有家庭成员才能认出的方式。例如，我将我的银行PIN与我们的邮政编码结合起来，然后将其添加到电话号码列表中。它甚至会愚弄阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦)”可知，下文是对上文中作者提到的密码设置很复杂进行说明，故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“They talk about the straw that broke the camel's back, but really it should be the password that wiped out my memory bank.(他们说的是压垮骆驼背的稻草，但实际上应该是密码毁掉了我的记忆库。)”以及最后一段“Maybe I’ll try that one out—but only after describing the system in the notebook. Then I'll hide it in a place so secret that I'll never remember where it is.(也许我会试试这个——但只有在笔记本上描述了这个系统之后。然后我会把它藏在一个秘密的地方，我永远不会记得它在哪里。)”可知本文主要内容为作者抱怨密码设置带来的麻烦，故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“as soon as 1 added the fresh password into my memory, I instantly forgot all the others. My brain had hit its limit for passwords. I now know nothing.(当我把新密码添加到我的记忆中时，我立刻忘记了所有其他密码。我的大脑已经达到了密码的极限。我现在什么都不知道。)”、第三段“I masked them in a way that only a family member could figure them out. For example, I combined my bank PIN with our postal code, then added it to a list of phone numbers. It would fool even Albert Einstein(我把密码设置了一种只有家庭成员才能认出的方式。例如，我将我的银行PIN与我们的邮政编码结合起来，然后将其添加到电话号码列表中。它甚至会愚弄阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦)”以及最后一段“Maybe I’ll try that one out—but only after describing the system in the notebook. Then I'll hide it in a place so secret that I'll never remember where it is.(也许我会试试这个——但只有在笔记本上描述了这个系统之后。然后我会把它藏在一个秘密的地方，我永远不会记得它在哪里。)”可知作者在本文中以一种幽默风趣的方式抱怨自己被各种各样的复杂密码所累，因此本文的风格是幽默诙谐，故选C项。 C Getting rid of old tyres (轮胎) has long been a problem. Most are thrown into landfills or piled up in storage. Energy recovery is another common method. This involves burning tyres to generate electricity or heat for industries, but that produces planet warming pollution; or we use them to repair roads, but chemicals from them might pollute the ground. Some firms, therefore, have begun exploring an alternative. One such firm is Wastefront, which owns a big tyre-recycling plant in north-east England. In a couple of years, it will be able to turn 8 million old tyres into new products, including a black liquid called TDO (轮胎衍生油). The process works by deconstructing a tyre into steel, rubber, and carbon black. After tearing down the steel, the remaining material is exposed to high temperatures in the absence of air to make the rubber change into a mix of hydrocarbon gases, and then they’re removed. What is left behind is pure carbon black. Once the removed gases cool down, a part of them liquefies (液化) into TDO. The remaining gases are to be burned to fuel the process. This creates a closed-cycle system that prevents emissions. The carbon black can be reused to make new tyres. That is of interest to tyre-makers because it helps efforts to become carbon neutral — achieving a balance between the amounts of carbon dioxide produced and the carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere. Producing new carbon black requires burning heavy oil or coal, which lets off plenty of greenhouse gases. The recovered TDO is well-suited for making diesel (柴油). While not completely carbon-neutral, it does produce an 80-90% reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide, compared with the conventional fuel. The future market for such cleaner fuels will remain large, even though electric vehicles are on the rise. Fossil-fueled vehicles will exist for decades, particularly the big burners of diesel — trucks, which are harder to electrify. The fuel is also needed by trains and ships. So, anything that helps clean up overall emissions is useful — especially if it also eases a mountainous waste problem. 8. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To analyze causes. B. To present problems. C. To reach solutions. D. To make comparisons. 9. What can be inferred about the tyre-recycling process? A. Air boosts the burning of the old tyres. B. The remaining gases are emitted into the air. C. Pure carbon black is an unprocessed substance. D. TDO comes from the removed hydrocarbon gases. 10. Why are tyre-makers interested in tyre-recycling? A. They hope to gain financial rewards. B. It helps reduce greenhouse emissions. C. It helps improve production efficiency. D. They hope to expand the future market. 11. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Diesel made from TDO. B. Clean electric energy. C. Carbon-neutral process. D. Recovered TDO from old tyres. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Wastefront公司通过将废旧轮胎转换为TDO和碳黑等产品来解决轮胎废弃问题，TDO可用作较清洁的柴油原料，碳黑则可用于制造新轮胎，有助于减少环境污染和实现碳中和。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Getting rid of old tyres has long been a problem. Most are thrown into landfills or piled up in storage. Energy recovery is another common method. This involves burning tyres to generate electricity or heat for industries, but that produces planet warming pollution; or we use them to repair roads, but chemicals from them might pollute the ground.(处理废旧轮胎长期以来一直是个问题。大多数轮胎被丢弃在垃圾填埋场或者堆积在仓库里。能源回收是另一种常用方法，这涉及燃烧轮胎以产生电力或工业热能，但这会产生加剧全球变暖的污染；或者我们将它们用于修复道路，但这可能导致有害化学物质渗入土壤造成污染)”可知，文章在第一段提出了旧轮胎的处理一直以来都是一个难题这个事实，故第一段的主要目的是为了提出问题。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The process works by deconstructing a tyre into steel, rubber, and carbon black. After tearing down the steel, the remaining material is exposed to high temperatures in the absence of air to make the rubber change into a mix of hydrocarbon gases, and then they’re removed. What is left behind is pure carbon black. Once the removed gases cool down, a part of them liquefies into TDO.(这一过程通过分解轮胎成钢、橡胶和碳黑来实现。首先去除轮胎中的钢材后，剩余的材料在无氧环境中经受高温处理，使橡胶转变成混合烃类气体，随后这些气体被分离出去。剩下的就是纯净的碳黑。当分离出的气体冷却后，其中一部分会液化成为TDO)”可知，被除去的混合烃类气体一旦冷却下来之后它们中的一部分就会液化成了TDO，所以TDO来自被去除的烃类气体。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The carbon black can be reused to make new tyres. That is of interest to tyre-makers because it helps efforts to become carbon neutral — achieving a balance between the amounts of carbon dioxide produced and the carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere. Producing new carbon black requires burning heavy oil or coal, which lets off plenty of greenhouse gases.(回收得到的碳黑可以用来制造新轮胎。这对轮胎制造商来说很有吸引力，因为它有助于实现碳中和——即达到二氧化碳排放量和从大气中移除的二氧化碳量之间的平衡。生产新的碳黑需要燃烧重油或煤炭，这会释放大量温室气体)”可知，轮胎制造商对轮胎回收感兴趣，因为它有助于减少温室气体排放。故选B项。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段划线词之前“The recovered TDO is well-suited for making diesel. While not completely carbon-neutral,(回收的TDO非常适合用于制造柴油。虽然不是完全碳中和)”以及划线词之后“does produce an 80-90% reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide, compared with the conventional fuel.(但与传统燃料相比，它确实能减少80-90%的二氧化碳排放)”可知，此处是说TDO制造的柴油与传统的燃料相比较是有优势的，故推测划线词it指代的是由回收的TDO制造的柴油。故选A项。 D A pair of researchers with Leibniz University of Hannover has demonstrated the means by which robots might be programmed to experience something similar to pain in animals. As part of their demonstration at last week’s IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation held in Stockholm, Johannes Kuehn and Sami Haddaddin showed how pain might be used in robots, by interacting with a BioTac fingertip sensor on the end of a Kuka robotic arm that had been programmed to react differently to differing amounts of pain. The idea of developing an artificial robot nervous system may seem contrary to all expectations, but Kuehn says doing so is important in the same way that it is good for humans to feel pain. “Pain is a system that protects us,” says Kuchn. When we avoid the source of pain, it helps us not get hurt. "So when robots can feel and react to pain, they will become smart enough to avoid it. The more dangerous the robot registers the threat to be, the faster it will withdraw and avoid the source of danger. Additionally, Kuehn and Haddadin say humans working alongside robots that feel pain, especially those in heavy machinery, will be protected around them. They have tested out some of their ideas using a robotic arm with a fingertip sensor that can detect pressure and temperature. It uses a robot-tissue patch (小片) modeled on human skin to decide how much pain should be felt and thus what action to take. For example, if the arm feels light pain, it slowly withdraws until the pain stops, and then returns to its original task; severe pain, meanwhile, causes the arm to go into a kind of lockdown mode until it can get help from a human operator. Such robots are likely to raise a host of questions, of course, if they become more common —if a robot acts the same way a human does when touching a hot plate, are we to believe it is truly experiencing pain? Only time will tell of course, but one thing that is evident, Kuehn and Haddadin’s work could lead to robots that are more human-like than ever. 12. What do we learn about the robots in the demonstration? A. They can learn skills like animals. B. They can communicate with people. C. They have the ability to feel pain. D. They respond differently to requests. 13. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about ? A. The significance of teaching robots to feel pain. B. The principle of robots’ avoidance of injuries. C. The analysis of the artificial robot nervous system. D. The value of protecting human workers from injury. 14. What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 3? A. The robot is smart enough to carry out different tasks. B. The robot can hardly work as well as a human operator. C The robot can react differently based on degrees of pain. D. The robot is tolerant of changes of pressure and temperature. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward Kuehn and Haddadin’s study? A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Optimistic 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种可以感知疼痛的机器人，解释了教会机器人感知疼痛的意义以及机器人可以根据疼痛程度做出不同的反应。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。文章第一段讲到“As part of their demonstration at last week’s IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation held in Stockholm, Johannes Kuehn and Sami Haddaddin showed how pain might be used in robots, by interacting with a BioTac fingertip sensor on the end of a Kuka robotic arm that had been programmed to react differently to differing amounts of pain. (作为上周在斯德哥尔摩举行的IEEE国际机器人与自动化会议上演示的一部分，Johannes Kuehn和Sami Haddaddin展示了如何在机器人中使用疼痛，通过与Kuka机械臂末端的BioTac指尖传感器进行交互，该机械臂被编程为对不同程度的疼痛做出不同的反应。)”可知，演示中的机器人有感觉疼痛的能力。故选C。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第二段讲到“but Kuehn says doing so is important in the same way that it is good for humans to feel pain. “Pain is a system that protects us,” says Kuchn. (但Kuehn说，这样做很重要，就像人类感受疼痛一样。Kuehn说：“疼痛是一个保护我们的系统。”)”以及“Additionally, Kuehn and Haddadin say humans working alongside robots that feel pain, especially those in heavy machinery, will be protected around them. (此外，Kuehn和Haddadin表示，与感到疼痛的机器人一起工作的人类，尤其是那些在重型机械中工作的人，将在他们周围受到保护。)”可知，机器人能够感受疼痛会给人类提供保护，第二段主要讲的是教会机器人感知疼痛的意义。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。文章第三段讲到“For example, if the arm feels light pain, it slowly withdraws until the pain stops, and then returns to its original task; severe pain, meanwhile, causes the arm to go into a kind of lockdown mode until it can get help from a human operator. (例如，如果手臂感到轻微疼痛，它会慢慢缩回，直到疼痛停止，然后回到原来的任务；与此同时，剧烈的疼痛会导致手臂进入一种锁定模式，直到它能得到人类操作员的帮助。)”可知，机器人可以根据疼痛程度做出不同的反应。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到“Only time will tell of course, but one thing that is evident, Kuehn and Haddadin’s work could lead to robots that are more human-like than ever. (当然，只有时间会证明一切，但有一件事是显而易见的，Kuehn和Haddadin的工作可能会使机器人比以往任何时候都更像人类。)”可知，作者对库恩和哈达丁的研究持乐观态度。故选D。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When something goes wrong, do you tend to bounce back or fall apart? Here are some strategics to help you manage a personal setback (挫折) and get back on track toward achieving your goal. ● Realize it’s normal. Less than 20 percent of people successfully achieve their goal the first time around. It’s normal and expected for setbacks to occur. ___16___ Knowing this, it’s important to anticipate that the main task will be how to effectively manage the setback when it arises. ● Don’t deny it. Sometimes it’s hard to recognize a setback. The problem can be staring you right in the face, but you may deny there’s any cause for alarm. ___17___ This inability to acknowledge the problem doesn’t mean you’re stupid. It’s just that denial can cloud your awareness of the issue. It’s important to be receptive to the honest feedback. ___18___Stop and consider carefully what went wrong. The most common causes of a setback are personal worries, overconfidence, and poor coping skills. Take a look at any factor that may have contributed to the setback: where you were, who you were with, what you were thinking and feeling. ● Learn from it. Learn from your analysis of the setback, and adjust your plan to try to prevent similar things from happening the next time. Each time you fine-tune your plan and put it into action again, you actually improve your odds of eventual success. ___19___ Remind yourself that your setback is a slip instead of a fall. ___20___ After adjusting, you can still make progress toward success again. A. Don’t take it seriously. B. Analyze what happened. C. You haven’t lost all of the knowledge, skills, and support. D. In other words, it’s not whether a challenge will happen, but it’s when. E. This is because you learn from each misstep to make your plan more effective. F. Friends or family will voice their concerns, but you still may not be able to accept it. G. You might even write about past experiences in a journal to guide your future behavior. 【答案】16. D 17. F 18. B 19. E 20. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了一些有助于处理个人挫折并回到实现目标的轨道上的策略。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Less than 20 percent of people successfully achieve their goal the first time around. It’s normal and expected for setbacks to occur.(只有不到20%的人第一次就成功实现了自己的目标。出现挫折是正常的，也是意料之中的。)”可知，此处是指挫折大概率是会发生的，只是早晚的区别，所以选项D“换句话说，挑战是否会发生并不重要，重要的是何时发生。”切合文意。故选D。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Sometimes it’s hard to recognize a setback. The problem can be staring you right in the face, but you may deny there’s any cause for alarm.(有时候很难察觉到挫折。问题可能就在你眼前，但你可能会否认有任何惊慌的理由。)”可知，此处是指即使朋友或家人提醒你也可能无法承认问题的存在，所以选项F“朋友或家人会表达他们的担忧，但你可能仍然无法接受。”切合文意。故选F。 【18题详解】 根据后文“Stop and consider carefully what went wrong.(停下来仔细想想哪里出了问题。)”可知，此处是指分析发生的事情，所以选项B“分析发生了什么。”切合文意。故选B。 【19题详解】 根据前文“Learn from it. Learn from your analysis of the setback, and adjust your plan to try to prevent similar things from happening the next time. Each time you fine-tune your plan and put it into action again, you actually improve your odds of eventual success.(从中吸取教训。从你对挫折的分析中学习，调整你的计划，尽量防止类似的事情再次发生。每次你调整你的计划并再次付诸行动，你实际上提高了最终成功的几率。)”可知，此处是指从挫折中吸取的教训会让你的计划更高效，所以选项E“这是因为你从每一个错误中学习，使你的计划更有效。”切合文意。故选E。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Remind yourself that your setback is a slip instead of a fall.(提醒自己，你的挫折是一次滑倒，而不是跌倒。)”和后文“After adjusting, you can still make progress toward success again.(调整之后，你仍然可以再次向成功迈进。)”可知，此处是讲即使面对挫折你仍然具有的优势，所以选项C“你并没有失去所有的知识、技能和支持。”切合文意。故选C。 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。 Rebecka Peterson, a high school math teacher, is the nation’s 2023 Teacher of the Year.

We need better stories for this Thursday’s school newspaper. Does anybody have any ideas?” she said. I handed her my article about our basketball team beating Deerfield High School the previous night by one point. “Sports stories are fun,” she said, “but not good enough for the front page. We need something to really get people ‘s attention.” After our meeting, we left the newsroom together and heard someone screaming, “Perry is missing!” Perry was a big red parrot and had been our school mascot (吉祥物) for ten years. He played an important role in students’ lives, both in and out of class. He had also been a constant presence at school events, inspiring a sense of unity among students. Everyone gathered around Perry’s empty cage, heartbroken. Suddenly, a student from the crowd came over and showed me a photo. “You’re a reporter for the school paper, right? I happened to take this yesterday,” he said. In the photo was a Deerfield High School basketball player with something large hidden under his shirt around the size of a parrot. “He must have stolen Perry to get back at us for winning the game!” Ashley cried. We hurried back to the newsroom, agreeing to run the photo on the front page with the headline “Deerfeld Stole Perry.” “This is just the story we need. Everyone will read it,” Ashley said confidently. After she left, I took a closer look at the photo. The clock in the background read 4:15 pm, but our game against Deerfield hadn’t started until 4:30 pm. Why would the boy have taken Perry before we even played? An uneasy feeling came over me that we might have falsely accused someone. I went to Perry’s usual caretaker to ask if he knew Perry was missing. ”He’s not missing. He’s retired. He’s ready for some quieter days,“ he said. Learning the truth, I immediately told Ashley and suggested writing a story to say goodbye to Perry. 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。 To my surprise, Ashley insisted on reporting the “Deerfield Stole Perry” story. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Thursday, the paper came out with the headline “Bye-Bye, Perry” on the front page. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 To my surprise, Ashley insisted on reporting the “Deerfield Stole Perry” story. “This is the very story we need to attract more readers,” she argued. To convince her, I defended that if we wrote this article, we would be telling a lie. Noticing her hesitant expression, I further explained the potential harm it would cause to the player and our, paper ‘s reputation. After some discussion, Ashley finally gave in, “OK, let’s try with real stories.“ Then I went to gather all the necessary information to write an article about Perry and the precious memories we shared over the years. On Thursday, the paper came out with the headline “Bye-Bye, Perry” on the front page. Soon, it sparked heated discussions among students about Perry. Many were disappointed with Perry’s sudden departure, but were comforted by the fact that he was in good care. The story also evoked sweet memories of Perry. Some students even requested to share their stories of him in our paper! Seeing the story’s success, Ashley came to me and said sincerely, “You are right! It’s a good story.” Her words brought me a great sense of fulfillment. Indeed, true stories might not always draw attention, but they have the power to touch and connect. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一家报社工作，他们的吉祥物佩里被迪尔菲尔德高中的篮球运动员偷走了，调查得知是佩里退休了。阿什利本来想报道被偷这件事，但是作者说明了可能对选手和报纸的声誉造成的潜在伤害。最后阿什利放弃了，他们报道了佩里退休的新闻，这一报道取得了成功。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“令我惊讶的是，阿什利坚持要报道‘迪尔菲尔德偷走了佩里’的故事”可知，第一段可描写作者反对这一决定，说明了其中的危害以及他们最后决定报道佩里退休的事情。 ②由第二段首句内容“周四，报纸头版的标题是‘再见，佩里’”可知，第二段可描写报道佩里退休的新闻产生的影响以及取得成功。 2.续写线索：阿什利坚持报道被偷——作者指出危害——阿什利让步——报道佩里——引发讨论——故事取得成功——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：explain/illustrate ②造成：cause/lead to ③注意到：notice/take notice of 情绪类 ①宝贵的：precious/valuable ②成就：fulfillment/achievement 【点睛】[高分句型1] To convince her, I defended that if we wrote this article, we would be telling a lie.

Things to do The entire town displays the ski-chic atmosphere, hosting dozens of ski and snow board competitions and festivals annually. In the warmer months, more outdoor enthusiasts come out to play. Visitors can try hiking or cycling up the mountains. While Whistler is an ideal vacation spot for the active types, other travelers can enjoy the local museums and art galleries filled within formative exhibits. Plus, there are family-friendly activities and attractions like summer concerts, along with plenty of shopping options. When to visit The best times to visit Whistler are from June through August and between December and March. How to get around The best ways to get around Whistler are on foot or by bike. Or, you can take the shuttlebuses from Whistler Village, which transport visitors to Lost Lake Park and the Marketplace. Meanwhile, having a car will allow you the freedom to explore top attractions like Whistler Train Wreck and Alexander Falls without having to spend a lot of cash on a cab. What you need to know ●Whistler receives feet of snow each year. If you’re driving in winter, slow down and make sure to rent or come with a reliable SUV. ●Snowslides are likely to occur on Backcountry routes, so only advanced skiers should take to this off-the-map area. ●Whistler’s wilderness is home to many black and grizzly bears. Keep your distance and do not feed them. 1. What are active travelers recommended to do in Whistler? A. Bike up the mountains. B. Host ski competitions. C. Go shopping at the malls. D. Visit museum exhibitions. 2. Which of the following is the most popular among travelers? A. Whistler Village. B. Lost Lake Park. C. The Marketplace. D. Whistler Train Wreck. 3. What are travelers prohibited from doing in Whistler? A. Driving a rented SUV. B. Feeding grizzly bears. C. Exploring the wilderness. D. Skiing on Backcountry routes. B They talk about the straw that broke the camel's back, but really it should be the password that wiped out my memory bank. I was going along the -with instant recall of my bank PIN（密码）, my mobile phone number and the date of my cousin's birthday before I downloaded a gas station payment app for its new customer discount. It asked me to create a password. When I typed in “gas 1”, it was rejected for not being complex enough. I tried again: “I Hate Hearless Oil Companies@”. But that was too long and didn’t include “at least one number”. But here is the thing: as soon as 1 added the fresh password into my memory, I instantly forgot all the others. My brain had hit its limit for passwords. I now know nothing. I had entered some passwords in a notebook. Of course, I didn't write down the actual passwords, in case it fell into the wrong hands. Instead, I masked them in a way that only a family member could figure them out. For example, I combined my bank PIN with our postal code, then added it to a list of phone numbers. It would fool even Albert Einstein. Maybe we need a system like the one we use to remember people's names. You know, you form an association between a person's characteristics and their name by whispering “Skinny George, Skinny George”in heart after meeting them. The risk is that, upon seeing him, you’ll burst out the phrase. “Skinny George” might not mind, but it’s possible “Boring Betty” will. As for remembering passwords as you change them, you could simply use the first and last letters of your favorite singer's greatest hits, together with the year of their release. Maybe I’ll try that one out—but only after describing the system in the notebook. Then I'll hide it in a place so secret that I'll never remember where it is. 4. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs? A. He fell for a marketing trick. B. He was driven mad by passwords. C. He had a serious memory disorder. D. He was rejected by the gas station. 5. By mentioning Albert Einstein in paragraph 3, the author intends to ______ . A. show how secure his passwords were B. challenge the intelligence of scientists C. prove the uselessness of his passwords D. promote a more scientific password system 6. What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A. To encourage readers to use password notebooks. B. To recommend a password-remembering method. C. To complain about the trouble caused by passwords. D. To point out the importance of using complex passwords. 7. What is the tone of the text? A. Inspiring. B. Indifferent. C. Humorous. D. Serious. C Getting rid of old tyres (轮胎) has long been a problem. Most are thrown into landfills or piled up in storage. Energy recovery is another common method. This involves burning tyres to generate electricity or heat for industries, but that produces planet warming pollution; or we use them to repair roads, but chemicals from them might pollute the ground. Some firms, therefore, have begun exploring an alternative. One such firm is Wastefront, which owns a big tyre-recycling plant in north-east England. In a couple of years, it will be able to turn 8 million old tyres into new products, including a black liquid called TDO (轮胎衍生油). The process works by deconstructing a tyre into steel, rubber, and carbon black. After tearing down the steel, the remaining material is exposed to high temperatures in the absence of air to make the rubber change into a mix of hydrocarbon gases, and then they’re removed. What is left behind is pure carbon black. Once the removed gases cool down, a part of them liquefies (液化) into TDO. The remaining gases are to be burned to fuel the process. This creates a closed-cycle system that prevents emissions. The carbon black can be reused to make new tyres. That is of interest to tyre-makers because it helps efforts to become carbon neutral — achieving a balance between the amounts of carbon dioxide produced and the carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere. Producing new carbon black requires burning heavy oil or coal, which lets off plenty of greenhouse gases. The recovered TDO is well-suited for making diesel (柴油). While not completely carbon-neutral, it does produce an 80-90% reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide, compared with the conventional fuel. The future market for such cleaner fuels will remain large, even though electric vehicles are on the rise. Fossil-fueled vehicles will exist for decades, particularly the big burners of diesel — trucks, which are harder to electrify. The fuel is also needed by trains and ships. So, anything that helps clean up overall emissions is useful — especially if it also eases a mountainous waste problem. 8. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To analyze causes. B. To present problems. C. To reach solutions. D. To make comparisons. 9. What can be inferred about the tyre-recycling process? A. Air boosts the burning of the old tyres. B. The remaining gases are emitted into the air. C. Pure carbon black is an unprocessed substance. D. TDO comes from the removed hydrocarbon gases. 10. Why are tyre-makers interested in tyre-recycling? A. They hope to gain financial rewards. B. It helps reduce greenhouse emissions. C. It helps improve production efficiency. D. They hope to expand the future market. 11. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Diesel made from TDO. B. Clean electric energy. C. Carbon-neutral process. D. Recovered TDO from old tyres. D A pair of researchers with Leibniz University of Hannover has demonstrated the means by which robots might be programmed to experience something similar to pain in animals. As part of their demonstration at last week’s IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation held in Stockholm, Johannes Kuehn and Sami Haddaddin showed how pain might be used in robots, by interacting with a BioTac fingertip sensor on the end of a Kuka robotic arm that had been programmed to react differently to differing amounts of pain. The idea of developing an artificial robot nervous system may seem contrary to all expectations, but Kuehn says doing so is important in the same way that it is good for humans to feel pain. “Pain is a system that protects us,” says Kuchn. When we avoid the source of pain, it helps us not get hurt. "So when robots can feel and react to pain, they will become smart enough to avoid it. The more dangerous the robot registers the threat to be, the faster it will withdraw and avoid the source of danger. Additionally, Kuehn and Haddadin say humans working alongside robots that feel pain, especially those in heavy machinery, will be protected around them. They have tested out some of their ideas using a robotic arm with a fingertip sensor that can detect pressure and temperature. It uses a robot-tissue patch (小片) modeled on human skin to decide how much pain should be felt and thus what action to take. For example, if the arm feels light pain, it slowly withdraws until the pain stops, and then returns to its original task; severe pain, meanwhile, causes the arm to go into a kind of lockdown mode until it can get help from a human operator. Such robots are likely to raise a host of questions, of course, if they become more common —if a robot acts the same way a human does when touching a hot plate, are we to believe it is truly experiencing pain? Only time will tell of course, but one thing that is evident, Kuehn and Haddadin’s work could lead to robots that are more human-like than ever. 12. What do we learn about the robots in the demonstration? A. They can learn skills like animals. B. They can communicate with people. C. They have the ability to feel pain. D. They respond differently to requests. 13. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about ? A. The significance of teaching robots to feel pain. B. The principle of robots’ avoidance of injuries. C. The analysis of the artificial robot nervous system. D. The value of protecting human workers from injury. 14. What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 3? A. The robot is smart enough to carry out different tasks. B. The robot can hardly work as well as a human operator. C. The robot can react differently based on degrees of pain. D. The robot is tolerant of changes of pressure and temperature. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward Kuehn and Haddadin’s study? A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Optimistic 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When something goes wrong, do you tend to bounce back or fall apart? Here are some strategics to help you manage a personal setback (挫折) and get back on track toward achieving your goal. ● Realize it’s normal. Less than 20 percent of people successfully achieve their goal the first time around. It’s normal and expected for setbacks to occur. ___16___ Knowing this, it’s important to anticipate that the main task will be how to effectively manage the setback when it arises. ● Don’t deny it. Sometimes it’s hard to recognize a setback. The problem can be staring you right in the face, but you may deny there’s any cause for alarm. ___17___ This inability to acknowledge the problem doesn’t mean you’re stupid. It’s just that denial can cloud your awareness of the issue. It’s important to be receptive to the honest feedback. ___18___Stop and consider carefully what went wrong. The most common causes of a setback are personal worries, overconfidence, and poor coping skills. Take a look at any factor that may have contributed to the setback: where you were, who you were with, what you were thinking and feeling. ● Learn from it. Learn from your analysis of the setback, and adjust your plan to try to prevent similar things from happening the next time. Each time you fine-tune your plan and put it into action again, you actually improve your odds of eventual success. ___19___ Remind yourself that your setback is a slip instead of a fall. ___20___ After adjusting, you can still make progress toward success again. A. Don’t take it seriously. B. Analyze what happened. C. You haven’t lost all of the knowledge, skills, and support. D. In other words, it’s not whether a challenge will happen, but it’s when. E.

You might even write about past experiences in a journal to guide your future behavior. 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。 Rebecka Peterson, a high school math teacher, is the nation’s 2023 Teacher of the Year.

We need better stories for this Thursday’s school newspaper. Does anybody have any ideas?” she said. I handed her my article about our basketball team beating Deerfield High School the previous night by one point. “Sports stories are fun,” she said, “but not good enough for the front page. We need something to really get people ‘s attention.” After our meeting, we left the newsroom together and heard someone screaming, “Perry is missing!” Perry was a big red parrot and had been our school mascot (吉祥物) for ten years. He played an important role in students’ lives, both in and out of class. He had also been a constant presence at school events, inspiring a sense of unity among students. Everyone gathered around Perry’s empty cage, heartbroken. Suddenly, a student from the crowd came over and showed me a photo. “You’re a reporter for the school paper, right? I happened to take this yesterday,” he said. In the photo was a Deerfield High School basketball player with something large hidden under his shirt around the size of a parrot. “He must have stolen Perry to get back at us for winning the game!” Ashley cried. We hurried back to the newsroom, agreeing to run the photo on the front page with the headline “Deerfeld Stole Perry.” “This is just the story we need. Everyone will read it,” Ashley said confidently. After she left, I took a closer look at the photo. The clock in the background read 4:15 pm, but our game against Deerfield hadn’t started until 4:30 pm. Why would the boy have taken Perry before we even played? An uneasy feeling came over me that we might have falsely accused someone. I went to Perry’s usual caretaker to ask if he knew Perry was missing. ”He’s not missing. He’s retired. He’s ready for some quieter days,“ he said. Learning the truth, I immediately told Ashley and suggested writing a story to say goodbye to Perry. 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。 To my surprise, Ashley insisted on reporting the “Deerfield Stole Perry” story. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Thursday, the paper came out with the headline “Bye-Bye, Perry” on the front page. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-20.BACBC CABCB BAAC A ABBCC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
