His love of birds started when he made his first bird feeder about six years ago. Now, he has his own group called “Protecting Our Birds”. He has been making western bluebird boxes for about four years. Dessi hangs them up in trees and takes them down every week and looks at them to see if the bluebirds are nesting. He does that every year during the summer. He chooses the bluebird because they nest in dead trees, but a lot of dead trees are being cut down. Dessi makes these boxes to take the place of the trees. He does research about birds, runs a website to teach people about birds and how to help them, and builds boxes for birds. Dessi has interviewed biologists, written a lot of articles on birds for local newspaper. Dessi also recently spent 10 days in Alaska with his family where he did research on golden eagles in Denali National Park. So now let’s welcome Dessi Sieburth! 第二部 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Finding a new book to read can be hard. Here are several different ways you can find your next favorite book to read! Local Library Most libraries allow anyone to walk in and look around. Head over to the sections that interest you and browse the shelves, then use your phone to look up any books that catch your eye. Or if you want to support your local library, just check the book out. You could also talk to the librarian. If you tell them what kinds of books you’re looking for, they’ll be able to point you in the right direction. Online Book Stores Amazon, AbeBooks, and Better World Books are all great options. Most online book stores allow sorting by recent releases, and it’s a great way to discover books you’ve never heard of before. Check out the first few pages’ previews, reviews and ratings, and if you like it, buy it! Meetup Book Clubs If you prefer to get your book recommendations through dialogue and discussion, then Meetup might be the option for you. Book clubs on Meetup are pretty straightforward; they tell you which book to read, and then you discuss it as a group. Meetup groups might hold events once a month, once a week, or maybe even multiple times a week. If one group isn’t enough, you can always join multiple. Goodreads One of the easiest ways to discover new books to read is to use a book recommendation site like Goodreads. Every year, Goodreads puts out “Best Books” for all major genres (体裁), including Fantasy, Horror, Poetry, Romance, and Young Adult. Each genre has 20 entries, and you can view past years’ awards back to 2011. Once you’ve added and rated enough books, Goodreads will begin recommending other books that you might like. 21. What help can you receive from a local library? A. Financial support. B. The librarian’s assistance. C. Group study. D. Advice on book choice. 22. What’s special about Meetup Book Clubs? A. They hold reading activities on a daily basis. B. They sort out books by recent releases. C. They offer group discussions about books. D. They allow members to get books for free. 23. Which of the following recommends books based on your preference? A. Local Library. B. Online Book Stores. C. Meetup Book Clubs. D. Goodreads. 【答案】21. B 22. C 23. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个可以让你找到你最喜欢的书的方法。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“You could also talk to the librarian. If you tell them what kinds of books you’re looking for, they’ll be able to point you in the right direction.(你也可以和图书管理员谈谈。如果你告诉他们你在找什么样的书，他们就能给你指出正确的方向)”可知，你能从当地图书馆得到图书管理员的协助。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“If you prefer to get your book recommendations through dialogue and discussion, then Meetup might be the option for you.(如果你更喜欢通过对话和讨论来推荐你的书，那么Meetup可能是你的选择)”和“Meetup groups might hold events once a month, once a week, or maybe even multiple times a week.(聚会小组可能每月举行一次活动，一周一次，甚至一周多次)”可知，聚会读书会的特别之处在于他们提供关于书籍的小组讨论。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Once you’ve added and rated enough books, Goodreads will begin recommending other books that you might like.(一旦你添加并评价了足够多的书，Goodreads就会开始推荐其他你可能喜欢的书)”可知，Goodreads根据你的喜好推荐书籍。故选D。 B Bees are cute and give us delicious things, like honey, and useful things, like beeswax. But they’ve also got those infamous stingers (毒刺). Bees can be a little scary, and in groups, they can be deadly. So when reports hit the news about Colony Collapse Disorder (蜂群崩溃症候群), some of us might have thought, what’s the big deal? What would happen if all the bees died? Unfortunately, we’d lose a lot more than organic candles if bees went extinct. There are more than 20,000 species of bees in the world, Together, they are probably the most important group of insect pollinators (传粉者). If all the bees suddenly disappeared, there would be a gap in our ecosystems that would be very hard to fill. First, flowers would likely go extinct without bees. Other plants that bees pollinate might survive with other pollinators. But they would be at a disadvantage. Some animals rely on bees for food. If we lost the bees, some of our most beautiful natural species could be next. All these changes would have chain effects throughout ecosystems and into human society. Humanity probably wouldn’t starve without bees with many of our main crops pollinated by the wind. But nutritious fruits and vegetables could be lost or become so expensive that few people could afford them. And eating healthily is hard enough as it is. It’s hard to know just how such a huge change to the natural world would end. Luckily, this is just an imagination, right? But, Colony Collapse Disorder is very real. Scientists believe human activity is to blame. The loss of bees has also been linked to the pesticides we use and to man-made climate change. And some studies showed that it’s not just bees. Insect numbers have dropped dramatically over the last few decades. Nearly half of all insect lives may have died out in the last 35 years. Bees and other bugs may be a little scary, but a world without them would be much scarier. 24. How does the author lead in the topic in Paragraph 1? A. By listing the harms bees bring about. B. By explaining a theory about bees. C. By reviewing the history of bees. D. By telling facts about bees. 25. Why are bees important in the ecosystem? A. They help control other insects’ populations. B. They provide honey and beeswax. C. They serve as a key link in the ecosystem. D. They pollinate our main crops. 26. What is the possible danger if bees died out? A. Loss of biodiversity and food variety. B. Endangered insects becoming extinct. C. Climate change speeding up its pace. D. The rapid growth of certain flowers. 27. Which can be a suitable title for the passage? A. Bees: Cute But Dangerous. B. Colony Collapse Disorder Is Real. C. Honey: A Double Edged Sword. D. Bees Are a Threat to Humans. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了蜂群衰竭失调症会导致蜜蜂灭绝，而蜜蜂灭绝会导致生物多样性和粮食品种的丧失。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Bees are cute and give us delicious things, like honey, and useful things, like beeswax. But they’ve also got those infamous stingers (毒刺). Bees can be a little scary, and in groups, they can be deadly. So when reports hit the news about Colony Collapse Disorder (蜂群崩溃症候群), some of us might have thought, what’s the big deal?(蜜蜂很可爱，给我们提供美味的东西，比如蜂蜜，还有有用的东西，比如蜂蜡。但它们也有臭名昭著的毒刺。蜜蜂可能有点可怕，成群结队的蜜蜂可能是致命的。因此，当有关蜂群衰竭失调症的报道出现在新闻中时，我们中的一些人可能会想，这有什么大不了的？)”可知，作者在第一段通过讲述蜜蜂的事实引出主题。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“If all the bees suddenly disappeared, there would be a gap in our ecosystems that would be very hard to fill. First, flowers would likely go extinct without bees. Other plants that bees pollinate might survive with other pollinators. But they would be at a disadvantage.(如果所有的蜜蜂突然消失，我们的生态系统将出现一个很难填补的空白。首先，如果没有蜜蜂，花很可能会灭绝。蜜蜂授粉的其他植物可能会与其他传粉者一起生存。但他们将处于不利地位)”可知，蜜蜂在生态系统中如此重要是因为它们是生态系统的关键环节。故选C。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“First, flowers would likely go extinct without bees. Other plants that bees pollinate might survive with other pollinators.(首先，如果没有蜜蜂，花很可能会灭绝。蜜蜂授粉的其他植物可能会与其他传粉者一起生存)”以及第三段“Humanity probably wouldn’t starve without bees with many of our main crops pollinated by the wind. But nutritious fruits and vegetables could be lost or become so expensive that few people could afford them.(如果没有蜜蜂，人类可能不会挨饿，因为我们的许多主要作物都是靠风授粉的。但是营养丰富的水果和蔬菜可能会丢失，或者变得非常昂贵，以至于很少有人能买得起)”可知，如果蜜蜂灭绝了，会导致生物多样性和粮食品种的丧失。故选A。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“So when reports hit the news about Colony Collapse Disorder (蜂群崩溃症候群), some of us might have thought, what’s the big deal?(因此，当有关蜂群衰竭失调症的报道出现在新闻中时，我们中的一些人可能会想，这有什么大不了的？)”结合文章主要说明了蜂群衰竭失调症会导致蜜蜂灭绝，而蜜蜂灭绝会导致生物多样性和粮食品种的丧失。可知，B选项“蜂群衰竭失调是真实存在的”最符合文章标题。故选B。 C Lab-grown chicken is finally making its way onto menus in the United States. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has recently given permission for selling cell-cultured (细胞培养的) meat produced by GOOD Meat and UPSIDE Foods, marking a significant breakthrough for the cultured meat industry. These companies are able to grow small amounts of chicken cells into meat without the need for traditional slaughter (屠宰). However, it’s important to note that this permission is currently limited to chicken products. Both companies still require additional permission to market cell-cultured beef, pork, or seafood. Concerns have been growing among Americans about traditional meat production, which contributes to about 14.5 percent of global carbon emissions and can encourage antibiotic-resistant (耐抗生素的) bacteria growth. Additionally, it pollutes waterways with animal waste. And the animals themselves often live relatively short lives in cages. “We think the current way of traditional meat production is at the very tip of the spear of all these harms,” says GOOD Meat CEO Josh Tetrick. Despite these concerns, meat remains a significant part of many people’s diets due to cultural, traditional, and nutritional reasons. Cultured meat companies position themselves as producing sustainable and proper meat, aiming to provide meat lovers with a guilt-free choice that satisfies their desire for tasty food. The production process for lab-grown meat is relatively straightforward, with the main challenge lying in building sufficient production facilities. Both companies, now armed with USDA and FDA permission, can focus on expanding to produce enough cell-cultured meat to meet the demand. At the beginning, lab-grown chicken will only be available at select restaurants, including Bar Crenn in San Francisco and a restaurant owned by chef José Andrés in Washington. D. C. 28. What does the approval mean for GOOD Meat and UPSIDE Foods? A. They can sell lab-grown meat in the U. S. B. They don’t have to kill animals for meat. C. They can develop cell-cultured meat in labs. D. They can offer various types of lab-grown meat. 29. What does “at the very tip of the spear” underlined in Paragraph 2 mean? A. The best solution. B. The major challenge. C. The greatest change. D. The biggest reason. 30. What can we learn from traditional and cultured meats? A. Traditional meat has more cultural meanings. B. Cultured meat is more environmentally friendly. C. Cultured meat faces fierce market competition. D. People can only eat lab-grown meat in the future. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. Cultured meat challenges traditional dieting custom. B. Environmental pollution on traditional slaughter. C. US Government permits cultured meat’s production. D. A technological innovation in cultured meat. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了美国政府批准人造肉进入市场，介绍了传统肉类的生产方式以及人造肉的好处。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Lab-grown chicken is finally making its way onto menus in the United States. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has recently given permission for selling cell-cultured (细胞培养的) meat produced by GOOD Meat and UPSIDE Foods, marking a significant breakthrough for the cultured meat industry. These companies are able to grow small amounts of chicken cells into meat without the need for traditional slaughter (屠宰).(实验室培育的鸡肉终于进入了美国的菜单。美国农业部(USDA)最近批准销售由GOOD meat和UPSIDE Foods生产的细胞培养肉，这标志着培养肉行业取得了重大突破。这些公司能够在不需要传统屠宰的情况下，将少量鸡细胞培育成肉)”可知，对GOOD Meat和UPSIDE Foods的批准意味着他们可以在美国销售实验室培育的肉。故选A。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Concerns have been growing among Americans about traditional meat production, which contributes to about 14.5 percent of global carbon emissions and can encourage antibiotic-resistant (耐抗生素的) bacteria growth. Additionally, it pollutes waterways with animal waste. And the animals themselves often live relatively short lives in cages.(美国人对传统肉类生产的担忧越来越大，这种生产占全球碳排放量的14.5%，可能会促进耐抗生素细菌的生长。此外，它还用动物粪便污染水道。而动物本身在笼子里的寿命往往相对较短)”可知，上文列举了传统肉类生产存在的问题，可知传统肉类生产方式是危害的最大原因。故划线词意思是“最大的原因”。故选D。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Cultured meat companies position themselves as producing sustainable and proper meat, aiming to provide meat lovers with a guilt-free choice that satisfies their desire for tasty food.(人造肉公司将自己定位为生产可持续和合适的肉类，旨在为肉类爱好者提供一个没有罪恶感的选择，满足他们对美味食物的渴望)”可知，人造肉更环保。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Lab-grown chicken is finally making its way onto menus in the United States. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has recently given permission for selling cell-cultured (细胞培养的) meat produced by GOOD Meat and UPSIDE Foods, marking a significant breakthrough for the cultured meat industry. These companies are able to grow small amounts of chicken cells into meat without the need for traditional slaughter (屠宰).(实验室培育的鸡肉终于进入了美国的菜单。美国农业部(USDA)最近批准销售由GOOD meat和UPSIDE Foods生产的细胞培养肉，这标志着培养肉行业取得了重大突破。这些公司能够在不需要传统屠宰的情况下，将少量鸡细胞培育成肉)”结合文章主要说明了美国政府批准人造肉进入市场，介绍了传统肉类的生产方式以及人造肉的好处。可知，这篇文章的主要内容是美国政府允许生产人造肉。故选C。 D Jennifer Destefano answered a call from a number she did not recognize. “Mom, these bad men have me,” her daughter’s voice told her, crying. A man continued to demand money, or he would drug her daughter and leave her in Mexico. But while she kept him on the phone, friends managed to reach her daughter, only to discover that she was free and well on a skiing trip in Arizona. The voice used on the phone was a fake (冒充品). In fact, voice cloning has far-reaching influences. A brief sample of a particular individual voice can be used to train an AI model, which can then speak any given text sounding like that person. The feature is to be included in iPhone’s new operating system IOS 17 to help people who may be in danger of losing their voices. ElevenLabs, an AI startup, offers users the chance to create their own clones in minutes. When generating a recording, the system also offers a controller that allows users to choose between variability, a lifelike intonation (语调), and stability, similar to a calm newsreader, both accurate. With cloning coming, voices claiming to be someone may prove to be fakes. That disturbs financial industry (金融业), which uses voice as an important identification. In journalism, fewer people will trust news based on recordings. The opposite problem will arise when public figures refuse to admit their genuine recordings. Now, ever more people caught up in illegal behaviors will be attracted by the defence, “It wasn’t me.” Creative industries could face challenges too. Voice actors’ skills, trained over a lifetime, can be taken away in a matter of seconds. The Telegraph recently reported on actors who had mistakenly given up rights to their voices, making it possible to clone them for nothing. But as the old saying goes, a coin has two sides. Val Kilmer, who has lost much of his voice to throat cancer, was delighted to have his voice restored for Top Gun: Maverick. And some others may be spared heading to the studio for retakes. 32. Why does the author talk about Destefano’s experience? A. To explain why Destefano was cheated. B. To praise a mother’s love for her daughter. C. To teach people how to recognize fake voices. D. To draw readers’ attention to voice cloning. 33. What can be learned from Paragraph 2? A. Cloning voices can be variously styled. B. IOS trains people disabled in speaking. C. Cloning one’s voice is time-consuming. D. AI learns human voice from texts. 34. What impact may voice cloning make? A. Financial industry will abandon voice identification. B. Broadcasting will disappear in journalism. C. Criminals use it as an excuse to escape punishment. D. Public figures dare not make recordings. 35. What is voice cloning’s influence in creative industries? A. Disastrous. B. Double edged. C. Beneficial. D. Short-termed. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了语音克隆技术的现实应用和潜在风险。语音克隆技术可以通过简短的语音样本来训练人工智能模型，使其能够模仿特定人的声音。然而，语音克隆也带来了身份验证问题，特别是在金融行业和新闻业，以及对配音演员等创意产业从业者的影响。尽管存在风险，语音克隆技术也为某些情况下的声音恢复提供了可能。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Jennifer Destefano answered a call from a number she did not recognize. “Mom, these bad men have me,” her daughter’s voice told her, crying. A man continued to demand money, or he would drug her daughter and leave her in Mexico. But while she kept him on the phone, friends managed to reach her daughter, only to discover that she was free and well on a skiing trip in Arizona. The voice used on the phone was a fake (冒充品). (Jennifer Destefano接了一个她不认识的号码打来的电话。“妈妈，这些坏人抓住了我，”女儿的声音哭着告诉她。一个男人继续向她要钱，否则他就给她的女儿下药，把她留在墨西哥。但是，当她让他打电话时，朋友们设法联系上了她的女儿，却发现她在亚利桑那州滑雪旅行中很自由。电话里的声音是假的。)”可知，作者叙述了Destefano被冒充女儿声音的电话所骗的经过，然后指出声音是假的，文章后文围绕语音克隆技术展开。由此推知，作者谈到Destefano的经历是为了引起读者对语音克隆的注意。故选D项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“When generating a recording, the system also offers a controller that allows users to choose between variability, a lifelike intonation (语调), and stability, similar to a calm newsreader, both accurate. (当生成录音时，系统还提供了一个控制器，允许用户在可变性(逼真的语调)和稳定性(类似于平静的新闻播音员)之间进行选择，两者都很准确。)”可知，生成的录音可以由用户自己选择可变性和稳定性，由此可知，克隆语音可以有多种风格。故选A项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Now, ever more people caught up in illegal behaviors will be attracted by the defence, “It wasn’t me.” (现在，越来越多被卷入非法行为的人会被“不是我”的辩护吸引。)”可知，克隆语音可能导致罪犯用它作为逃避惩罚的借口。故选C项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Creative industries could face challenges too. Voice actors’ skills, trained over a lifetime, can be taken away in a matter of seconds. (创意产业也可能面临挑战。配音演员的技能，经过了一辈子的训练，可以在几秒钟内消失。)”和“But as the old saying goes, a coin has two sides. Val Kilmer, who has lost much of his voice to throat cancer, was delighted to have his voice restored for Top Gun: Maverick. And some others may be spared heading to the studio for retakes. (但正如那句老话所说，硬币有两面。Val Kilmer因喉癌失去了大部分声音，他很高兴能在《壮志凌云：独行侠》中恢复声音。还有一些人可能就不用去摄影棚重拍了。)”可知，语音克隆可能会夺走配音演员来之不易的技能，但也能帮助一些不幸失去声音的人恢复声音，避免摄影棚的重拍工作。由此可知，语音克隆对创意产业的影响是一把双刃剑。故选B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。 How to Make New Year’s Resolutions Do you make resolutions in the new year? ____36____ However, you will give yourself your best shot at success if your resolutions are SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound).

Making a specific goal is really important rather than just roughly saying “I want to lose weight.” How much weight do you want to lose and how long will it last? ____37____ Measurable. Establish standards for measuring progress toward the achievement of each goal you set. If, for example, you want to learn a foreign language, memorize 20 words or practise speaking it for 30 minutes every day. ____38____ Achievable. This doesn’t mean that you can’t have big goals. ____39____ Saving enough money to retire in five years when you are 30 years old is unlikely to achieve, but saving an extra $100 a month is accessible. Realistic. ____40____ Are you willing to devote time and energy to it? You truly know that it can be accomplished with your abilities and resources available to you. When you identify the goals, you begin to figure out ways that you make them come true. Time-bound. The timeline toward reaching your goals should be clear and realistic. That means having enough time to do them with lots of smaller goals set up along the way. Focus on these small achievements, and you can make gradual progress. A. Does this goal really matter to you? B. You can make plans to achieve them. C. They are more easily made than achieved. D. The following tips can help achieve your resolutions. E. But trying to take too big a step too fast can make you disappointed. F Five pounds in the next two months—that’s going to be more effective. G. Recording progress into a journal or making notes in an App can encourage your perseverance. 【答案】36. C 37. F 38. G 39. E 40. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何实现新年决心提出了一些建议。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Do you make resolutions in the new year?(你在新的一年里有决心吗？)”以及后文“However, you will give yourself your best shot at success if your resolutions are SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound).(然而，如果你的决心是明智的（具体的、可衡量的、可实现的、现实的、有时间限制的），你就会给自己最大的成功机会。)”可知，本句回答上文关于新年决心的问题，说明其中存在困难，因此需要方法。故C选项“下决心容易，实现却难”符合语境，故选C。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Specific. Your resolutions should be absolutely clear. Making a specific goal is really important rather than just roughly saying “I want to lose weight.” How much weight do you want to lose and how long will it last?(具体。你的决心应该非常明确。制定一个具体的目标真的很重要，而不是只是粗略地说“我想减肥”。你想减掉多少体重，能持续多久？)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，故承接上文，说明减肥数字如何具体更有效。故F选项“接下来的两个月减5磅——这样会更有效”符合语境，故选F。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Measurable. Establish standards for measuring progress toward the achievement of each goal you set. If, for example, you want to learn a foreign language, memorize 20 words or practise speaking it for 30 minutes every day.(可衡量的。为实现你设定的每个目标建立衡量进展的标准。例如，如果你想学习一门外语，每天记住20个单词或练习说30分钟。)”可知，本句承接上文，说明如何记录学习外语的进度，来达到可衡量的目标。故G选项“把进度记录在日记上或在App上做笔记可以鼓励你坚持下去”符合语境，故选G。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Achievable. This doesn’t mean that you can’t have big goals.(可以实现的。这并不意味着你不能有大的目标。)”以及后文“Saving enough money to retire in five years when you are 30 years old is unlikely to achieve, but saving an extra $100 a month is accessible.(攒够五年后30岁退休的钱不太可能实现，但每月多存100美元是可以做到的。)”可知，本句与上文构成转折，指出太大目标的不利影响。故E选项“但是试图太快迈出太大的一步会让你失望”符合语境，故选E。 【40题详解】 根据后文“Are you willing to devote time and energy to it? You truly know that it can be accomplished with your abilities and resources available to you. When you identify the goals, you begin to figure out ways that you make them come true.(你愿意为此投入时间和精力吗？你确实知道你可以用你的能力和资源来完成它。当你确定了目标，你就开始想办法让它们实现。)”可知，本句与后文一句并列，都是针对目标进行设问，A选项中this goal对应后文it。故A选项“这个目标对你真的重要吗？”符合语境，故选A。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的 最佳选项。 Many parents dream of their children growing up and seeing the world.

In just two weeks, I had to say goodbye to my beloved teachers, dearest classmates and my best friends. I felt a sense of blame toward my parents for what seemed like turning my world upside down. I told everyone I’d be returning to Texas as soon as possible. Upon arriving in Arizona, I made sure everyone knew I had friends waiting for me back in Texas. I was determined to keep my distance, firmly believing that I’d be leaving soon. The first day of school was a painful experience as I missed my friends in Texas badly. My life felt like it had come to an end. Eventually though, things got a little better. In my art class, sitting just three seats away from me in the same front row was an outgoing girl with the most beautiful blue eyes I had ever seen. Her talent in art shone through her creations, and her lively spirit drew me in. I saw inspiration and connection in her that I so badly needed. Gathering my courage, I decided to talk to her. “Hi, my name is Sheila; what’s yours?” I asked with a Texan accent. The girl next to her thought that I was asking her. “Emily.” “Oh, hi, Emily,” I played along. “What’s your name?” I asked again, focusing my attention on the blue-eyed girl. She looked behind her, not believing that I could be asking her for her name. “Jessie,” she answered quietly. “Hi, Jessie!” I smiled and returned to my work, awkward but satisfied. Little did I know, that chance encounter would change the course of my life. 注意： 1. 续写词数为150左右;2. 请按如下格式作答。 Sharing the love for art, Jessie, Emily and I quickly developed close friendship. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As time passed, the pain of leaving Texas gradually disappeared. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Sharing the love for art, Jessie, Emily and I quickly developed close friendship. Our shared passion for creativity led to countless afternoons spent drawing, painting, and exchanging ideas. We explored the art fairs, local exhibitions and museums in Arizona. These shared experiences not only developed our artistic growth but also deepened our friendship, making this new place feel a bit more like home. As time passed, the pain of leaving Texas gradually disappeared. Jessie expanded our tight group by introducing me to their inner circle of more new friends where I found an even stronger sense of belonging in this new place. The memories we created together not only made me feel more at home, but also brought me closer to the people who had become a whole part of my life. Arizona, once a source of uncertainty, had transformed into a place I proudly called home, and it was all thanks to the unbreakable bonds I had formed with these incredible people. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者因为搬家告别了以前的老师和同学，来到新的学校，作者和杰西、艾米丽建立了亲密的关系，让作者有了归属感。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“因为对艺术的热爱，杰西、艾米丽和我很快就建立了亲密的友谊。”可知，第一段可描写作者和同学建立了良好关系，培养了友谊。 ②由第二段首句内容“随着时间的流逝，离开德州的痛苦逐渐消失。”可知，第二段可描写作者开始适应新的地方，有了归属感。 2.续写线索：建立亲密关系——共同参加活动——有了更多朋友——有了归属感——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①促进：develop/promote ②变成：transform into/turn into ③扩大：expand/extend 情绪类 ①牢固：unbreakable/solid ②极好的：incredible/amazing 【点睛】[高分句型1] These shared experiences not only developed our artistic growth but also deepened our friendship, making this new place feel a bit more like home.

Here are several different ways you can find your next favorite book to read! Local Library Most libraries allow anyone to walk in and look around. Head over to the sections that interest you and browse the shelves, then use your phone to look up any books that catch your eye. Or if you want to support your local library, just check the book out. You could also talk to the librarian. If you tell them what kinds of books you’re looking for, they’ll be able to point you in the right direction. Online Book Stores Amazon, AbeBooks, and Better World Books are all great options. Most online book stores allow sorting by recent releases, and it’s a great way to discover books you’ve never heard of before. Check out the first few pages’ previews, reviews and ratings, and if you like it, buy it! Meetup Book Clubs If you prefer to get your book recommendations through dialogue and discussion, then Meetup might be the option for you. Book clubs on Meetup are pretty straightforward; they tell you which book to read, and then you discuss it as a group. Meetup groups might hold events once a month, once a week, or maybe even multiple times a week. If one group isn’t enough, you can always join multiple. Goodreads One of the easiest ways to discover new books to read is to use a book recommendation site like Goodreads. Every year, Goodreads puts out “Best Books” for all major genres (体裁), including Fantasy, Horror, Poetry, Romance, and Young Adult.

B Bees are cute and give us delicious things, like honey, and useful things, like beeswax. But they’ve also got those infamous stingers (毒刺). Bees can be a little scary, and in groups, they can be deadly. So when reports hit the news about Colony Collapse Disorder (蜂群崩溃症候群), some of us might have thought, what’s the big deal? What would happen if all the bees died? Unfortunately, we’d lose a lot more than organic candles if bees went extinct. There are more than 20,000 species of bees in the world, Together, they are probably the most important group of insect pollinators (传粉者). If all the bees suddenly disappeared, there would be a gap in our ecosystems that would be very hard to fill. First, flowers would likely go extinct without bees. Other plants that bees pollinate might survive with other pollinators. But they would be at a disadvantage. Some animals rely on bees for food. If we lost the bees, some of our most beautiful natural species could be next. All these changes would have chain effects throughout ecosystems and into human society. Humanity probably wouldn’t starve without bees with many of our main crops pollinated by the wind. But nutritious fruits and vegetables could be lost or become so expensive that few people could afford them. And eating healthily is hard enough as it is. It’s hard to know just how such a huge change to the natural world would end. Luckily, this is just an imagination, right? But, Colony Collapse Disorder is very real. Scientists believe human activity is to blame. The loss of bees has also been linked to the pesticides we use and to man-made climate change. And some studies showed that it’s not just bees. Insect numbers have dropped dramatically over the last few decades. Nearly half of all insect lives may have died out in the last 35 years. Bees and other bugs may be a little scary, but a world without them would be much scarier. 24. How does the author lead in the topic in Paragraph 1? A. By listing the harms bees bring about. B. By explaining a theory about bees. C. By reviewing the history of bees. D. By telling facts about bees. 25. Why are bees important in the ecosystem? A. They help control other insects’ populations. B. They provide honey and beeswax. C. They serve as a key link in the ecosystem. D. They pollinate our main crops. 26. What is the possible danger if bees died out? A. Loss of biodiversity and food variety. B. Endangered insects becoming extinct. C. Climate change speeding up its pace. D. The rapid growth of certain flowers. 27. Which can be a suitable title for the passage? A. Bees: Cute But Dangerous. B. Colony Collapse Disorder Is Real. C. Honey: A Double Edged Sword. D. Bees Are a Threat to Humans. C Lab-grown chicken is finally making its way onto menus in the United States. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has recently given permission for selling cell-cultured (细胞培养的) meat produced by GOOD Meat and UPSIDE Foods, marking a significant breakthrough for the cultured meat industry. These companies are able to grow small amounts of chicken cells into meat without the need for traditional slaughter (屠宰). However, it’s important to note that this permission is currently limited to chicken products. Both companies still require additional permission to market cell-cultured beef, pork, or seafood. Concerns have been growing among Americans about traditional meat production, which contributes to about 14.5 percent of global carbon emissions and can encourage antibiotic-resistant (耐抗生素的) bacteria growth. Additionally, it pollutes waterways with animal waste. And the animals themselves often live relatively short lives in cages. “We think the current way of traditional meat production is at the very tip of the spear of all these harms,” says GOOD Meat CEO Josh Tetrick. Despite these concerns, meat remains a significant part of many people’s diets due to cultural, traditional, and nutritional reasons. Cultured meat companies position themselves as producing sustainable and proper meat, aiming to provide meat lovers with a guilt-free choice that satisfies their desire for tasty food. The production process for lab-grown meat is relatively straightforward, with the main challenge lying in building sufficient production facilities. Both companies, now armed with USDA and FDA permission, can focus on expanding to produce enough cell-cultured meat to meet the demand. At the beginning, lab-grown chicken will only be available at select restaurants, including Bar Crenn in San Francisco and a restaurant owned by chef José Andrés in Washington. D. C. 28. What does the approval mean for GOOD Meat and UPSIDE Foods? A. They can sell lab-grown meat in the U. S. B. They don’t have to kill animals for meat. C. They can develop cell-cultured meat in labs. D. They can offer various types of lab-grown meat. 29. What does “at the very tip of the spear” underlined in Paragraph 2 mean? A. The best solution. B. The major challenge. C. The greatest change. D. The biggest reason. 30. What can we learn from traditional and cultured meats? A. Traditional meat has more cultural meanings. B. Cultured meat is more environmentally friendly. C. Cultured meat faces fierce market competition. D. People can only eat lab-grown meat in the future. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. Cultured meat challenges traditional dieting custom. B. Environmental pollution on traditional slaughter. C. US Government permits cultured meat’s production. D. A technological innovation in cultured meat. D Jennifer Destefano answered a call from a number she did not recognize. “Mom, these bad men have me,” her daughter’s voice told her, crying. A man continued to demand money, or he would drug her daughter and leave her in Mexico. But while she kept him on the phone, friends managed to reach her daughter, only to discover that she was free and well on a skiing trip in Arizona. The voice used on the phone was a fake (冒充品). In fact, voice cloning has far-reaching influences. A brief sample of a particular individual voice can be used to train an AI model, which can then speak any given text sounding like that person. The feature is to be included in iPhone’s new operating system IOS 17 to help people who may be in danger of losing their voices. ElevenLabs, an AI startup, offers users the chance to create their own clones in minutes. When generating a recording, the system also offers a controller that allows users to choose between variability, a lifelike intonation (语调), and stability, similar to a calm newsreader, both accurate. With cloning coming, voices claiming to be someone may prove to be fakes. That disturbs financial industry (金融业), which uses voice as an important identification. In journalism, fewer people will trust news based on recordings. The opposite problem will arise when public figures refuse to admit their genuine recordings. Now, ever more people caught up in illegal behaviors will be attracted by the defence, “It wasn’t me.” Creative industries could face challenges too. Voice actors’ skills, trained over a lifetime, can be taken away in a matter of seconds. The Telegraph recently reported on actors who had mistakenly given up rights to their voices, making it possible to clone them for nothing. But as the old saying goes, a coin has two sides. Val Kilmer, who has lost much of his voice to throat cancer, was delighted to have his voice restored for Top Gun: Maverick. And some others may be spared heading to the studio for retakes. 32. Why does the author talk about Destefano’s experience? A. To explain why Destefano was cheated. B. To praise a mother’s love for her daughter. C. To teach people how to recognize fake voices. D. To draw readers’ attention to voice cloning. 33. What can be learned from Paragraph 2? A. Cloning voices can be variously styled. B. IOS trains people disabled in speaking. C. Cloning one’s voice is time-consuming. D. AI learns human voice from texts. 34. What impact may voice cloning make? A. Financial industry will abandon voice identification. B. Broadcasting will disappear in journalism. C. Criminals use it as an excuse to escape punishment. D. Public figures dare not make recordings. 35. What is voice cloning’s influence in creative industries? A. Disastrous. B. Double edged. C. Beneficial. D. Short-termed. 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。 How to Make New Year’s Resolutions Do you make resolutions in the new year? ____36____ However, you will give yourself your best shot at success if your resolutions are SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound).

In just two weeks, I had to say goodbye to my beloved teachers, dearest classmates and my best friends. I felt a sense of blame toward my parents for what seemed like turning my world upside down. I told everyone I’d be returning to Texas as soon as possible. Upon arriving in Arizona, I made sure everyone knew I had friends waiting for me back in Texas. I was determined to keep my distance, firmly believing that I’d be leaving soon. The first day of school was a painful experience as I missed my friends in Texas badly. My life felt like it had come to an end. Eventually though, things got a little better. In my art class, sitting just three seats away from me in the same front row was an outgoing girl with the most beautiful blue eyes I had ever seen. Her talent in art shone through her creations, and her lively spirit drew me in. I saw inspiration and connection in her that I so badly needed. Gathering my courage, I decided to talk to her. “Hi, my name is Sheila; what’s yours?” I asked with a Texan accent. The girl next to her thought that I was asking her. “Emily.” “Oh, hi, Emily,” I played along. “What’s your name?” I asked again, focusing my attention on the blue-eyed girl. She looked behind her, not believing that I could be asking her for her name. “Jessie,” she answered quietly. “Hi, Jessie!” I smiled and returned to my work, awkward but satisfied. Little did I know, that chance encounter would change the course of my life. 注意： 1. 续写词数为150左右;2. 请按如下格式作答。 Sharing the love for art, Jessie, Emily and I quickly developed close friendship. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As time passed, the pain of leaving Texas gradually disappeared. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
