Festival season is well and truly here — and all things could not be more ready. Here are some of the best UK music festivals for 2024． ●Glastonbury Glastonbury is the biggest music festival in the UK (maybe even the world), and for good reason. It’s an undoubted legend. Despite all the very real fields and TV coverage, it’s not entirely sure if it exists on earth. But prepare that tickets are impossibly difficult to get your hands on. Location and Time: Worthy Farm, Somerset. June 26-30． ●ALSO Talk tents are pretty much a given at every festival, but ALSO is all about giving equal footing to both ideas and music. There will be around 300 inspiring events across 14 stages, ranging from comedy to talks from respected speakers. There will be many delicious food traders to choose from, too, so you can nourish your stomach as well as your mind. Location and Time: Park Farm, Compton Verney Warwickshire. July 12-14． ● Green Man Green Man has earned itself fame for being the UK’s “mini Glastonbury”. Tickets can be sold out in just four hours, without any of the line-up announced. As its name suggests, the festival has outstanding green elements: compost washrooms, no single-use plastic and all power from hydrogen or solar energy! Location and Time: Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales. August 15-18． ● Lost Village With rainbow-lit woodlands, junkyard cars and professional performers, Lost Village is like stepping into a fairy tale — one where four-to-the-floor techno plays for hours on end, and you’re allowed to be as naughty as you like. It also hosts workshops, as well as live music and many health experiences, allowing you to sweat at open-air yoga or in the wood-fired hot tub. Location and Time: Norton Disney, Lincolnshire. Aug 22-25． Keen to join in the fun? We bet you are. Latest information to the best UK music festivals for 2024 will be updating on this page. Click here for more if you want details. 1.

Music-lovers who want to step away from a fairy tale world. C. Music-lovers who highly value their health. D. Music-lovers who are crazy about delicious food. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是应用文。关于2024年英国最佳音乐节的介绍和推广。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Glastonbury下的“June 26-30(6月26 - 30日)”，ALSO下的“July 12-14(7月12 - 14)”，Green Man下的“August 15-18(8月15日-18日)”，以及Lost Village下的“Aug 22-25(8月22日-25日)”可知，ALSO是持续时间最短的音乐节。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Glastonbury下的“But prepare that tickets are impossibly difficult to get your hands on. (但你要做好准备，门票是不可能买到的。)”以及Green Man下的“Tickets can be sold out in just four hours, without any of the line-up announced. (门票可以在四个小时内售罄，没有任何阵容公布。)”可知，Glastonbury和Green Man的共同点是因为他们很受欢迎，所以很难订票。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Lost Village下的“It also hosts workshops, as well as live music and many health experiences, allowing you to sweat at open-air yoga or in the wood-fired hot tub. (它还举办工作坊，现场音乐和许多健康体验，让你在露天瑜伽或柴火热水浴缸中出汗。)”可知，重视健康的音乐爱好者最有可能参加Lost Village。故选C项。 B Roger Crawford had everything he needed to play tennis — except two hands and a leg. When he was born, he didn’t have palms but only a thumb-like projection (突起物) extended directly out of his right forearm and a thumb and one finger stuck out of his left forearm. He had only three toes on his shrunken right foot and an undeveloped left leg which was later cut off. The doctor said Roger suffered from a rare disease affecting only one out of 90,000 children born in the United States and he would probably never walk or care for himself. Fortunately, Roger’s parents didn’t believe him. “My parents always taught me that I was only as disabled as I wanted to be,” said Roger. “They never allowed me to feel sorry for myself or take advantage of people because of my disability. Roger could swing a tennis racket (球拍). Unfortunately, when he swung it hard, his weak hold usually launched it into space. By luck, Roger found an odd-looking tennis racket and accidentally put his finger between its double-barred handle when he picked it up. The close fit made it possible for Roger to swing, serve and volley (截击) like an able bodied player. He practiced every day and was soon playing — and losing — matches. But Roger never gave up. He practiced hard and the surgery on the two fingers of his left hand enabled Roger to hold his special racket better, greatly improving his game. Although he had no role models to guide him, Roger became crazy about tennis and in time he started to win. Roger went on to play college tennis, finishing his tennis career with 22 wins and 11 losses. He later became the first physically disabled tennis player to be certified as a teaching professional by the United States Professional Tennis Association. Roger now tours the country, speaking to groups about what it takes to be a winner, no matter who you are. 4. What happened to Roger when he was born? A. He had only one le g and two hands. B. He was a baby born with disabilities. C. His right forearm was cut off by the doctor. D. He suffered from a deadly disease. 5. What do we know about Roger’s parents according to the text? A. They were afraid that Roger would never walk. B. They thought Roger would live like a normal person. C. They believed Roger would recover after the surgery. D. They asked Roger to play tennis. 6. Which of the following best describe Roger? A. Determined and friendly. B. Caring and creative. C. Strong-willed and hard-working. D. Sensitive and independent. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. A born disabled man lived a successful life. B. A tennis player was certified as a teaching professional. C. A disabled man won the tennis match. D. A college students suffered from a rare disease. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述天生残疾的Roger通过自己努力成为第一位被美国职业网球协会认证为教学专业选手的残疾网球运动员的励志故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段“Roger Crawford had everything he needed to play tennis—except two hands and a leg. When he was born, he didn’t have palms but only a thumb-like projection(突起物)extended directly out of his right forearm and a thumb and one finger stuck out of his left forearm. He had only three toes on his shrunken right foot and an undeveloped left leg which was later cut off.(Roger Crawford拥有打网球所需的一切——除了两只手和一条腿。当他出生时，他没有手掌，只有一个拇指状的突起直接从右前臂伸出，一个拇指和一个手指从左前臂伸出。他萎缩的右脚只有三个脚趾，左腿未发育，后来被切掉了。)”可知，Roger出生时就有残疾。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“Fortunately, Roger’s parents didn’t believe him. ‘My parents always taught me that I was only as disabled as I wanted to be,’ said Roger. ‘They never allowed me to feel sorry for myself or take advantage of people because of my disability.’(幸运的是，Roger的父母不相信医生。Roger说：‘我的父母总是告诉我，我的残疾程度取决于我自己的意愿。他们从不允许我因为自己的残疾而为自己感到难过或利用别人。’)”可知，Roger的父母不把Roger看待成残疾人，认为Roger会像正常人一样生活。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段“But Roger never gave up. He practiced hard and the surgery on the two fingers of his left hand enabled Roger to hold his special racket better, greatly improving his game. Although he had no role models to guide him, Roger became crazy about tennis and in time he started to win.(但Roger从未放弃。他努力练习，左手两根手指的手术使Roger 能够更好地握住他的特殊球拍，大大提高了他的比赛水平。尽管没有榜样来指导他，罗杰还是迷上了网球，并很快开始赢球。)”可知，Roger是一个意志坚强以及努力奋斗的人。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章最后一段“Roger went on to play college tennis, finishing his tennis career with 22 wins and 11 losses. He later became the first physically disabled tennis player to be certified as a teaching professional by the United States Professional Tennis Association. Roger now tours the country, speaking to groups about what it takes to be a winner, no matter who you are.(Roger继续打大学网球，以22胜11负的成绩结束了他的网球生涯。后来，他成为第一位被美国职业网球协会认证为教学专业选手的残疾网球运动员。Roger现在在全国各地巡回演出，向人们讲述成为赢家需要什么，无论你是谁。)”以及上文可知，文章主要讲天生残疾网球运动员Roger，成为第一位被美国职业网球协会认证为教学专业选手的残疾网球运动员，过上成功生活的故事。故选A项。 C Artificial intelligence is making its way into classrooms, suggesting a future where education is more personalized and active. AI’s ability to customize learning and provide immediate feedback could change how students learn, making education more effective and attracting. Schools globally are starting to see the benefits of AI. For example, adaptive learning platforms can now tailor lessons to each student’s pace and style of learning, improving engagement and understanding. DreamBox Learning, an AI-powered math platform, has already showed how such technology can improve students’ abilities in problem solving. However, there’s a notable concern raised alongside these advancements —the AI divide, or the growing gap between those who have access to advanced AI tools and those who do not. A 2023 report by the Educational Data Trust found that wealthier school districts are three times more likely to have adopted AI-powered learning platforms compared to the under-resourced districts. We don’t know what this technology will look like 10 years from now, but the current trend shuts out poor districts. It’s in the big dog’s best interest to do so, but it sucks anyways. Addressing the AI divide requires a concerted effort. Policymakers have the power to level the playing field by supporting AI accessibility in all schools. Schools and educators have a role to play too. They must train their students to use AI as a tool. They can foster partnerships to share AI resources and focus on building universally essential skills like critical thinking and digital literacy. Tech companies and community groups have roles to play as well, such as offering AI expertise and support to schools lacking resources. AI in education has both advantages and disadvantages, with the promise of transformative(带来变革的)learning coming alongside the risk of deepening divides. As we accept AI’s potential, we must also make sure that it serves as a tool for to help everyone, paving the way for a future where every student has the opportunity to succeed. 8. Why does the author mention “DreamBox Learning” in paragraph 2? A To show the advantages of AI. B. To introduce an AI-powered social media platform. C. To help students to solve math problems. D. To improve students’ abilities in problem solving. 9. What is the author’s attitude towards AI in education? A. Supportive. B. Disappointed. C. Objective. D. Critical. 10. What does the underlined word “concerted” in paragraph 4 refer to? A. Tough. B. Joint. C. Limited. D. Brief. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. AI in Education—A Double-edged Sword B. AI in Education—A Great Success C. AI in Media Platform—An Advanced Tool D. AI in Classroom—A Replacement for the Teacher 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文的体裁是议论文。文章探讨了人工智能在教育领域的应用，指出其能定制学习、提供即时反馈，使教育更个性化和有效。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“For example, adaptive learning platforms can now tailor lessons to each student’s pace and style of learning, improving engagement and understanding. DreamBox Learning, an AI-powered math platform, has already showed how such technology can improve students’ abilities in problem solving.(例如，适应性学习平台现在可以根据每个学生的学习速度和风格定制课程，从而提高参与度和理解力。DreamBox Learning是一个人工智能数学平台，它已经展示了这种技术如何提高学生解决问题的能力)”可知，作者提到DreamBox Learning是为了通过举例的方式来展示人工智能在教育中的优势，故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据前文内容和最后一段“AI in education has both advantages and disadvantages, with the promise of transformative (带来变革的) learning coming alongside the risk of deepening divides. As we accept AI’s potential, we must also make sure that it serves as a tool for to help everyone, paving the way for a future where every student has the opportunity to succeed.( 教育中的AI既有优势也有劣势，它既可能带来变革性的学习，也可能加深社会分化的风险。随着我们接受AI的潜力，我们必须确保它成为一种帮助每个人的工具，为每个学生都有机会成功的未来铺平道路)”可知，作者在文章中既提到了人工智能在教育中的好处，也指出了其存在的问题，可见作者对人工智能在教育中的态度是客观的，故选C项。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段“Addressing the AI divide requires a… effort. Policymakers have the power to level the playing field by supporting AI accessibility in all schools. Schools and educators have a role to play too(解决 AI 鸿沟需要……努力。政策制定者有权通过支持所有学校使用人工智能来创造公平的竞争环境。学校和教育工作者也发挥着作用) ”可知解决 AI 鸿沟需要需要政策制定者、学校和教育工作者多方共同努力，可推知concerted意为“联合的，共同的”，与“joint”意思相近，故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“AI’s ability to customize learning and provide immediate feedback could change how students learn, making education more effective and attracting(人工智能的定制化学习和即时反馈能力可能会改变学生的学习方式，使教育更有效并吸引更多学生)”、第二段“Schools globally are starting to see the benefits of AI. For example, adaptive learning platforms can now tailor lessons to each student’s pace and style of learning, improving engagement and understanding.( 全球的学校开始看到人工智能的好处。例如，自适应学习平台现在可以根据每个学生的学习速度和风格来定制课程，提高参与度和理解力)”以及第三段“However, there’s a notable concern raised alongside these advancements —the AI divide, or the growing gap between those who have access to advanced AI tools and those who do not.( 然而，随着这些进步，人们提出了一个值得注意的问题——AI鸿沟，即那些能够使用先进AI工具的人和那些无法使用的人之间的差距正在扩大)”可知，文章探讨了人工智能在教育中的应用，提到了其带来的好处，如个性化学习、提高学习效果等，同时也指出了存在的问题，如造成地区之间的差距。所以文章的最佳标题是“AI in Education—A Double-edged Sword (教育中的人工智能——一把双刃剑) ”，故选A项。 D Kids are even more in the bag of social media companies than we think. Many of them have given away their online autonomy fully to their phones. For them, the only acceptable online environment is one designed by big tech algorithms (算法). As children’s free time and imaginations become more and more tightly joined to the social media, we need to understand that uncontrolled access to the Internet comes at a cost. This spring, I visited with a group of high school students in Connecticut to have a conversation about the role that social media plays in their daily lives and in their mental health. More children today report feeling depressed, lonely, and disconnected than ever before. There are countless problems with children and teenagers using social media. But the high schoolers with whom I met alerted me to a hidden result of teenagers’ growing addiction to social media: the death of exploration and discovery. Algorithmic recommendations now do the work of discovering and pursuing interests, finding community, and learning about the world. Kids today are, simply put, not learning how to be curious, critical adults—and they don’t seem to know what they’ve lost. We all know the journeys in life matter just as much as the destinations. It is the sweat to get the outcome that makes the outcome more fulfilling and satisfying. What the kids I spoke to did not know is that these algorithms have been designed in a way that unavoidably makes and keeps users unhappy. Social media companies know that content that generates negative feelings holds our attention longer than that which makes us feel good. If you are a teenager feeling bad about yourself, your social media feed will keep delivering you videos and pictures that are likely to produce negative feelings. We should take some measures. Teenagers and kids are to be inspired to determine if we will really be happier as a species when machines and algorithms do all the work for us, or if fulfillment only comes when humans actually do the work, searching and discovering, of being human. 12. We can learn from paragraph 1 that social media companies ______. A. earn a lot of money from kids B. have a great impact on kids C. make kids give away their phones D. provide necessary services to kids 13. According to the author, what is the result of children’s addiction to social media? A. They become more dependent on their phones. B. They feel less depressed and lonely than ever before. C. They are unable to find community and learn about the world. D. They gradually lose the ability to be curious and critical. 14. Why do social media companies prefer content that generates negative feelings? A. It helps them gain more attention from users. B. It makes users feel more satisfied with their products. C. It encourages users to explore and discover new things. D. It promotes the development of artificial intelligence. 15. What should be done to change the current situation? A. Limit the use of social media for children and teenagers. B. Inspire children to complete the work without the help of algorithms. C. Encourage teenagers and children to explore and discover the contentment of life. D. Redesign social media algorithms to make users happier and more fulfilled. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是议论文。主要讨论了社交媒体算法对青少年和儿童的影响，特别是它们如何影响孩子们的探索和发现能力，以及由此产生的心理健康问题。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Kids are even more in the bag of social media companies than we think. Many of them have given away their online autonomy fully to their phones. For them, the only acceptable online environment is one designed by big tech algorithms (算法). (孩子们比我们想象的更容易受到社交媒体公司的影响。他们中的许多人已经把上网的自主权完全交给了手机。对他们来说，唯一可以接受的网络环境是由大型科技算法设计的。)”可知，社交媒体公司对孩子们有很大的影响。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“There are countless problems with children and teenagers using social media. But the high schoolers with whom I met alerted me to a hidden result of teenagers’ growing addiction to social media: the death of exploration and discovery. Algorithmic recommendations now do the work of discovering and pursuing interests, finding community, and learning about the world. Kids today are, simply put, not learning how to be curious, critical adults—and they don’t seem to know what they’ve lost. (儿童和青少年使用社交媒体存在无数问题。但我遇到的那些高中生提醒我，青少年越来越沉迷于社交媒体的一个隐藏结果是：探索和发现的死亡。算法推荐现在的工作是发现和追求兴趣，寻找社区和了解世界。简单地说，今天的孩子没有学会如何成为好奇、挑剔的成年人，而且他们似乎不知道自己失去了什么。)”可知，根据作者的观点，儿童沉迷于社交媒体的结果是他们逐渐失去了好奇和批判的能力。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“What the kids I spoke to did not know is that these algorithms have been designed in a way that unavoidably makes and keeps users unhappy. Social media companies know that content that generates negative feelings holds our attention longer than that which makes us feel good. (与我交谈的孩子们不知道的是，这些算法的设计方式不可避免地会让用户不满意。社交媒体公司知道，产生负面情绪的内容比让我们感觉良好的内容更能吸引我们的注意力。)”可知，社交媒体公司更喜欢产生负面情绪的内容，因为这有助于他们获得更多用户的关注。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We should take some measures. Teenagers and kids are to be inspired to determine if we will really be happier as a species when machines and algorithms do all the work for us, or if fulfillment only comes when humans actually do the work, searching and discovering, of being human. (我们应该采取一些措施。青少年和孩子们应该受到启发，去决定，当机器和算法为我们做所有的工作时，我们作为一个物种是否真的会更快乐，或者只有当人类真正去做作为人类的工作，去寻找和发现时，我们才会得到满足。)”可知，应该鼓励青少年和儿童探索和发现生活的满足感来改变现状。故选C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。 Choosing a major is one of the most important decisions a college student can make. The choice can have a lasting effect on a student’s life, shaping work experiences, earnings and professional skills down the line. ____16____. ● Find your passion A major can greatly influence the activities and clubs students are involved with, the people they become friends with and the connections they make. ____17____. While there’s a value in doing so, experts say students should first consider what they’re passionate about and what skills they want to build for success after college. ●Do your research on what schools offer ____18____. Does that college have a track record of success with graduates from that major? Does that college even offer that major? While students might have certain schools they’re interested in due to status, family ties or geographic location, they should keep an open mind when considering colleges. ●____19____ Once students have determined a passion, it can be valuable to know which majors are more or less likely to lead to a high salary. Starting salaries for those who graduate with certain bachelor’s degrees, especially in science, technology, engineering and math, can be particularly high. In fact, all 10 of the college majors with the highest starting salaries based on Pay Scale data are in STEM fields, with computer engineering and computer science the top-paid. ● Consider declaring a major when applying Declaring a major when applying to college can signal to an admissions office that an applicant is focused. Experts recommend declaring one even if a student is undecided or it might change down the road. Students have to really review the application as a whole. ____20____, admissions officers may think a student is unfocused. A. Calculate possible salaries B. Figure out what you want to do in life C. If everything just seems a little bit unorganized D. Here are 4 tips on what to consider when choosing a major E. While it’s common for graduates to get jobs in different fields F. Many students will weigh potential earnings when deciding a major G. Students should consider how their major is taught at the target schools 【答案】16. D 17. F 18. G 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕大学生选择专业这一主题，给出了四个方面的建议，旨在帮助大学生做出明智的专业选择。 【16题详解】 空处位于首段段尾，应是引出下文，根据前文“Choosing a major is one of the most important decisions a college student can make. The choice can have a lasting effect on a student’s life, shaping work experiences, earnings and professional skills down the line.(选择专业是大学生能做的最重要的决定之一。这个选择可能会对学生的生活产生持久的影响，影响他们今后的工作经历、收入和专业技能)”可知，本文主题是选择专业，所以D项“Here are 4 tips on what to consider when choosing a major(以下是选择专业时需要考虑的4个建议)”符合本文主题，并引出下文。故选D项。 【17题详解】 根据后文“While there’s a value in doing so, experts say students should first consider what they’re passionate about and what skills they want to build for success after college.(虽然这样做是有价值的，但专家们表示，学生们应该首先考虑他们对什么充满热情，以及他们希望在大学毕业后获得成功所需的技能)”可知，空处应是提到有些学生首先考虑什么，所以后文才会发表评论，并提出建议，所以F项“Many students will weigh potential earnings when deciding a major(许多学生在选择专业时会考虑潜在的收入)”符合文意。故选F项。 【18题详解】 空处位于段首，为本段中心句，根据后文“Does that college have a track record of success with graduates from that major? Does that college even offer that major? While students might have certain schools they’re interested in due to status, family ties or geographic location, they should keep an open mind when considering colleges.(那所大学有该专业毕业生成功的记录吗?那所大学有那个专业吗?虽然学生可能会因为地位、家庭关系或地理位置而对某些学校感兴趣，但他们在考虑大学时应该保持开放的心态)”可知，本段主要讲述调查学校提供什么课程，所以G项“Students should consider how their major is taught at the target schools(学生应该考虑他们的专业是如何在目标学校教授的)”符合本段主题，为本段中心句。故选G项。 【19题详解】 设空为本段小标题，是对本段的高度概括，根据后文“Once students have determined a passion, it can be valuable to know which majors are more or less likely to lead to a high salary. Starting salaries for those who graduate with certain bachelor’s degrees, especially in science, technology, engineering and math, can be particularly high. In fact, all 10 of the college majors with the highest starting salaries based on Pay Scale data are in STEM fields, with computer engineering and computer science the top-paid.(一旦学生们确定了自己的爱好，了解哪些专业或多或少有可能获得高薪是很有价值的。拥有某些学士学位的毕业生，尤其是科学、技术、工程和数学专业的毕业生，起薪可能特别高。事实上，根据薪酬表数据，起薪最高的10个大学专业都在STEM领域，其中计算机工程和计算机科学的起薪最高)”可知，本段讲述了解哪些专业有可能获得高薪，所以A项“Calculate possible salaries(计算可能的薪水)”符合本段主题，为本段小标题。故选A项。 【20题详解】 分析设空，和后文构成主从句关系，根据前文“Students have to really review the application as a whole.(学生们必须把申请作为一个整体来审视)”以及后文“admissions officers may think a student is unfocused(招生官可能会认为这个学生注意力不集中)”可知，C项“If everything just seems a little bit unorganized(如果一切看起来都有点杂乱无章)”承接上文，和下文构成假设关系，符合文意。故选C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 first arrived in Beijing in August 2015.

That’s what Tami learned through her own experience. After her parents broke up, things at Tami’s house changed. Her mom started working, and Tami became responsible for caring for the house and making meals for herself and her younger sister. Though money was tight, they never went without. They had a nice home in a modest neighborhood, and the girls never wanted for the necessities—food, clothing and shelter. What Tam i missed most of all, though, was family. Tami spent the summer during her ninth-grade year working at a park to earn extra spending money. Her job was to run the ball shed and organize activities for the kids who spent their summer days at the park. The kids absolutely liked Tami very much because she was constantly going out of her way to do things for them. She would plan picnics, organize field trips and even buy ice cream for all of them, using her own money. She got to know one little boy who lived in an apartment across the street from the park. His parents both worked at fast-food restaurants, and she knew that they didn’t have much money. The boy talked about his upcoming birthday and the fire truck he wanted so badly. He said he was going to be a fireman someday and needed the truck to practice. He told Tami more details about the truck than she knew a toy truck could have. The boy’s birthday came and went. The next day when Tami saw the boy, she expected to see a shiny red truck in his arms. When he arrived empty-handed, she asked about his birthday—did he get his truck? The boy said no, his parents were going to have to wait and get it for him later, when things were better. He seemed a little sad but kept his chin up as best as he could. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After work that day, Tami cashed her paycheck and headed for the toy store. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Saturday, Tami walked over to the boy’s house for dinner on invitation. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 After work that day, Tami cashed her paycheck and headed for the toy store. She found the truck easily—after all, from the boy’s descriptions, she felt she knew it inside out. She bought the truck, then had it wrapped in birthday paper. When the boy showed up at the park that day, Tami gave this special birthday gift to him. Overjoyed with the gift, he showed off his new truck to other kids, then played with it all day long. The boy told Tami that he wanted to invite her to come over for dinner on Saturday. Tami felt she should refuse, but the boy would not take no for an answer. On Saturday, Tami walked over to the boy’s house for dinner on invitation. The boy’s family gave Tami a warm welcome. Although the family was not rich, their home was full of warmth and laughter. While enjoying the meal, they passed around collard greens and cheese, laughing as Tami carefully tried collard greens for the first time. Tami had a great time that evening and she felt something she had been missing — the warmth of a family. As she left, it was she who was saying thank you. She learned not only the rewards of giving, but that everyone has something to give and that by accepting what is given to you, you complete the circle of love. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Tami是一个在家庭中承担起重任的女孩，她在父母离婚后负责照顾家和年幼的妹妹。在九年级的暑假，她在公园工作，负责组织儿童活动，期间遇到了一个对消防车充满渴望的小男孩。这个小男孩来自一个经济条件有限的家庭，但他的梦想是成为一名消防员，并详细地向Tami描述了他想要的消防车。然而，当他的生日到来时，他并没有得到这个梦寐以求的礼物，这让Tami深感同情。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那天下班后，Tami兑现了她的薪水，前往玩具店。”可知，第一段可描写Tami用自己薪水为小男孩买了那辆卡车，小男孩很感激，邀请Tami周六过来吃晚饭。 ②由第二段首句内容“星期六，Tami应邀去男孩家吃晚饭。”可知，第二段可描写Tami在男孩家作客情景，以及Tami的感悟。 2. 续写线索：兑现薪水——买礼物——送给小男孩——邀请——作客——感悟。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①买：buy/purchase ②拒绝：refuse/reject ③明白：learn/realize 情绪类 ①非常高兴：overjoyed/delighted ②热烈的：warm/hospitable 【点睛】[高分句型1]When the boy showed up at the park that day, Tami gave this special birthday gift to him.(when引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型2]As she left, it was she who was saying thank you.(as引导的时间状语从句以及强调句型) 听力1-20ABCABBCABCCABABCACCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 沈阳市回民中学2024 级摸底考试 英语 试卷满分：150分 时间：120分钟 第一部分 听力 （共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B Roger Crawford had everything he needed to play tennis — except two hands and a leg. When he was born, he didn’t have palms but only a thumb-like projection (突起物) extended directly out of his right forearm and a thumb and one finger stuck out of his left forearm. He had only three toes on his shrunken right foot and an undeveloped left leg which was later cut off. The doctor said Roger suffered from a rare disease affecting only one out of 90,000 children born in the United States and he would probably never walk or care for himself. Fortunately, Roger’s parents didn’t believe him. “My parents always taught me that I was only as disabled as I wanted to be,” said Roger. “They never allowed me to feel sorry for myself or take advantage of people because of my disability. Roger could swing a tennis racket (球拍). Unfortunately, when he swung it hard, his weak hold usually launched it into space. By luck, Roger found an odd-looking tennis racket and accidentally put his finger between its double-barred handle when he picked it up. The close fit made it possible for Roger to swing, serve and volley (截击) like an able bodied player. He practiced every day and was soon playing — and losing — matches. But Roger never gave up. He practiced hard and the surgery on the two fingers of his left hand enabled Roger to hold his special racket better, greatly improving his game. Although he had no role models to guide him, Roger became crazy about tennis and in time he started to win. Roger went on to play college tennis, finishing his tennis career with 22 wins and 11 losses. He later became the first physically disabled tennis player to be certified as a teaching professional by the United States Professional Tennis Association. Roger now tours the country, speaking to groups about what it takes to be a winner, no matter who you are. 4. What happened to Roger when he was born? A. He had only one le g and two hands. B. He was a baby born with disabilities. C. His right forearm was cut off by the doctor. D. He suffered from a deadly disease. 5. What do we know about Roger’s parents according to the text? A. They were afraid that Roger would never walk. B. They thought Roger would live like a normal person. C. They believed Roger would recover after the surgery. D. They asked Roger to play tennis. 6. Which of the following best describe Roger? A. Determined and friendly. B. Caring and creative. C. Strong-willed and hard-working. D. Sensitive and independent. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. A born disabled man lived a successful life. B. A tennis player was certified as a teaching professional. C. A disabled man won the tennis match. D. A college students suffered from a rare disease. C Artificial intelligence is making its way into classrooms, suggesting a future where education is more personalized and active. AI’s ability to customize learning and provide immediate feedback could change how students learn, making education more effective and attracting. Schools globally are starting to see the benefits of AI. For example adaptive learning platforms can now tailor lessons to each student’s pace and style of learning, improving engagement and understanding. DreamBox Learning, an AI-powered math platform, has already showed how such technology can improve students’ abilities in problem solving. However, there’s a notable concern raised alongside these advancements —the AI divide, or the growing gap between those who have access to advanced AI tools and those who do not. A 2023 report by the Educational Data Trust found that wealthier school districts are three times more likely to have adopted AI-powered learning platforms compared to the under-resourced districts. We don’t know what this technology will look like 10 years from now, but the current trend shuts out poor districts. It’s in the big dog’s best interest to do so, but it sucks anyways. Addressing the AI divide requires a concerted effort. Policymakers have the power to level the playing field by supporting AI accessibility in all schools. Schools and educators have a role to play too. They must train their students to use AI as a tool. They can foster partnerships to share AI resources and focus on building universally essential skills like critical thinking and digital literacy. Tech companies and community groups have roles to play as well, such as offering AI expertise and support to schools lacking resources. AI in education has both advantages and disadvantages, with the promise of transformative(带来变革的)learning coming alongside the risk of deepening divides. As we accept AI’s potential, we must also make sure that it serves as a tool for to help everyone, paving the way for a future where every student has the opportunity to succeed. 8. Why does the author mention “DreamBox Learning” in paragraph 2? A. To show the advantages of AI. B. To introduce an AI-powered social media platform. C. To help students to solve math problems. D. To improve students’ abilities in problem solving. 9. What is the author’s attitude towards AI in education? A. Supportive. B. Disappointed. C. Objective. D. Critical. 10.

AI in Education—A Great Success C. AI in Media Platform—An Advanced Tool D. AI in Classroom—A Replacement for the Teacher D Kids are even more in the bag of social media companies than we think. Many of them have given away their online autonomy fully to their phones. For them, the only acceptable online environment is one designed by big tech algorithms (算法). As children’s free time and imaginations become more and more tightly joined to the social media, we need to understand that uncontrolled access to the Internet comes at a cost. This spring, I visited with a group of high school students in Connecticut to have a conversation about the role that social media plays in their daily lives and in their mental health. More children today report feeling depressed, lonely, and disconnected than ever before. There are countless problems with children and teenagers using social media. But the high schoolers with whom I met alerted me to a hidden result of teenagers’ growing addiction to social media: the death of exploration and discovery. Algorithmic recommendations now do the work of discovering and pursuing interests, finding community, and learning about the world. Kids today are, simply put, not learning how to be curious, critical adults—and they don’t seem to know what they’ve lost. We all know the journeys in life matter just as much as the destinations. It is the sweat to get the outcome that makes the outcome more fulfilling and satisfying. What the kids I spoke to did not know is that these algorithms have been designed in a way that unavoidably makes and keeps users unhappy. Social media companies know that content that generates negative feelings holds our attention longer than that which makes us feel good. If you are a teenager feeling bad about yourself, your social media feed will keep delivering you videos and pictures that are likely to produce negative feelings. We should take some measures. Teenagers and kids are to be inspired to determine if we will really be happier as a species when machines and algorithms do all the work for us, or if fulfillment only comes when humans actually do the work, searching and discovering, of being human. 12. We can learn from paragraph 1 that social media companies ______. A. earn a lot of money from kids B. have a great impact on kids C. make kids give away their phones D. provide necessary services to kids 13. According to the author, what is the result of children’s addiction to social media? A. They become more dependent on their phones. B. They feel less depressed and lonely than ever before. C. They are unable to find community and learn about the world. D. They gradually lose the ability to be curious and critical. 14. Why do social media companies prefer content that generates negative feelings? A. It helps them gain more attention from users. B. It makes users feel more satisfied with their products. C. It encourages users to explore and discover new things. D. It promotes the development of artificial intelligence. 15. What should be done to change the current situation? A. Limit the use of social media for children and teenagers. B. Inspire children to complete the work without the help of algorithms. C. Encourage teenagers and children to explore and discover the contentment of life. D. Redesign social media algorithms to make users happier and more fulfilled. 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。 Choosing a major is one of the most important decisions a college student can make.

That’s what Tami learned through her own experience. After her parents broke up, things at Tami’s house changed. Her mom started working, and Tami became responsible for caring for the house and making meals for herself and her younger sister. Though money was tight, they never went without. They had a nice home in a modest neighborhood, and the girls never wanted for the necessities—food, clothing and shelter. What Tam i missed most of all, though, was family. Tami spent the summer during her ninth-grade year working at a park to earn extra spending money. Her job was to run the ball shed and organize activities for the kids who spent their summer days at the park. The kids absolutely liked Tami very much because she was constantly going out of her way to do things for them. She would plan picnics, organize field trips and even buy ice cream for all of them, using her own money. She got to know one little boy who lived in an apartment across the street from the park. His parents both worked at fast-food restaurants, and she knew that they didn’t have much money. The boy talked about his upcoming birthday and the fire truck he wanted so badly. He said he was going to be a fireman someday and needed the truck to practice. He told Tami more details about the truck than she knew a toy truck could have. The boy’s birthday came and went. The next day when Tami saw the boy, she expected to see a shiny red truck in his arms. When he arrived empty-handed, she asked about his birthday—did he get his truck? The boy said no, his parents were going to have to wait and get it for him later, when things were better. He seemed a little sad but kept his chin up as best as he could. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After work that day, Tami cashed her paycheck and headed for the toy store. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Saturday, Tami walked over to the boy’s house for dinner on invitation. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-20ABCABBCABCCABABCACCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
