Depending on the desired tour length, you can choose from a short ride to the entire 109-mile length! However, for most people, the section of the trail from Rochford to Hill City makes for a nice day’s ride. This 22.5-mile part of the trail owns numerous tunnels, railroad bridges, and breathtaking scenery. There is a several-mile climb at a very low grade, so if that doesn’t match with your vacation preferences, there’s an option to do an 18-mile downhill part instead! This is typically run as a private tour with just your group or family, and because of that, we have to charge a single-person supplement of $125 if you are traveling alone, since it will likely just be yourself and a guide. Start time: 10:00 am End time: 5:00 pm Pricing and what’s included 1 person: $175 + supplement 2 persons: $299 per person 3 — 4 persons: $249 per person Large groups: Please ask for additional discounts All prices include bike rental, helmets, private guide, onboard snacks, drinks and picnic lunch. Other things to know This tour can be combined with other activities, like spending the morning at Devils Tower, stopping by Mt Rushmore, or visiting the wineries and breweries (啤酒厂) after the ride in Hill City! Just email and tell us your thoughts and we’ll help you design a day that is perfect for your group! 1. Which ride does the text suggest for most people? A. The 18-mile ride. B. The 22.5-mile ride. C. The 40.5-mile ride. D. The 109-mile ride. 2. How much would a single person pay for the biking tour? A. $175. B. $249. C. $299. D. $300. 3. What do we know about the biking tour? A. It can last for several days. B. It begins early in the morning. C. It can include additional activities. D. It requires people to bring their bikes. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了米克尔森步道骑行一日游的活动。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, for most people, the section of the trail from Rochford to Hill City makes for a nice day’s ride. This 22.5-mile part of the trail owns numerous tunnels, railroad bridges, and breathtaking scenery. (然而，对于大多数人来说，从Rochford到Hill城的这段小道是美好的一天。这条22.5英里长的路线上有许多隧道、铁路桥和令人叹为观止的风景。)”可知，文章建议大多数人骑行22.5英里长的路线。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“because of that, we have to charge a single-person supplement of $125 if you are traveling alone (因此，如果你独自旅行，我们必须收取125美元的单人附加费)”和Pricing and what’s included部分中“1 person: $175 + supplement (1人：175美元，外加附加费)”可知，单人参加骑行需支付175美元和125美元的附加费，共计300（=175+125）美元。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Other things to know部分中“This tour can be combined with other activities, like spending the morning at Devils Tower, stopping by Mt Rushmore, or visiting the wineries and breweries (啤酒厂) after the ride in Hill City! (这次旅行可以与其他活动结合起来，比如在Devils塔度过早晨，在Rushmore山停留，或者在Hill城骑行后参观酿酒厂和啤酒厂！)”可知，这趟骑行可以包括额外的活动。故选C项。 B As I stand in my favorite craft store, I’m faced with choices that mirror the world outside. You see, I love my foam (泡沫橡胶) board, which has foam inside and is sandwiched between two layers of paper or plastic. It’s easy to work with and affordable, but not friendly to the environment. Or take a look at the paintbrushes. The plastic handle brushes are cheap while the brushes with wooden handles cost a fair bit more. Glues are the unsung heroes of my art, yet their plastic containers are far from eco-friendly. And don’t get me started on the packaging that these art supplies come in. It’s all plastic, and it’s a reminder that even in the art world, being green isn’t always easy. As an artist, I’m not exactly rolling in profits. Most of what I earn goes right back into my materials, leaving little room for choosing green materials. Fresh out of university, I am still searching for a job. Since I currently don’t have a regular income, I’m living with my family to save costs and paying careful attention to what I can afford. But I also care deeply about climate change, since I’ve seen its impact and can’t bear the thought of it getting worse. So, to reduce my personal impact on climate change while also living within my means, I make full use of my brushes until they’re on their last hair, and I’ve become a master at repurposing cardboard boxes and various packing materials. The firm plastic packaging that once housed my paints finds a second purpose as glass in my miniature (微型的) windows. The cardboard from those boxes’ serves as bases for a range of miniatures. I don’t waste a bit of foam board either; it’s kept for crafting mini-books for my sets. It’s an ongoing process — a journey of give and take. While I try to reduce my ecological footprint, I am also learning to balance practicality while enjoying creating my own art. 4. What does the author find in the craft store? A. Most materials aren’t as green as required. B. It is difficult to buy cheap and green materials. C. The prices of some green materials keep going up. D. Her favorite green materials are always very popular. 5. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. The author is a struggling artist. B. The author likes working at home. C. The author mainly uses green materials. D. The author creates art about climate change. 6. How does the author deal with her packing materials? A. She sells them to buy books. B. She exchanges them for paints. C. She gives them to a recycling company. D. She tries to reuse them in her artworks. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. My journey as a green artist B. My expectations of a green artist C. My experience of picking green materials D. My exploration in crafting green artwork 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，讲述了作者作为一个艺术家，经常要接触到一些不环保的艺术材料，于是她开始使用一些绿色环保的艺术材料，并在追求艺术的道路上前行。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“As I stand in my favorite craft store, I’m faced with choices that mirror the world outside. You see, I love my foam board, which has foam inside and is sandwiched between two layers of paper or plastic. It’s easy to work with and affordable, but not friendly to the environment. Or take a look at the paintbrushes. The plastic handle brushes are cheap while the brushes with wooden handles cost a fair bit more.(当我站在我最喜欢的工艺品店时，我面临着反映外面世界的选择。你看，我喜欢我的泡沫板，它里面有泡沫，夹在两层纸或塑料之间。它很容易使用，价格也便宜，但对环境不友好。或者看看画笔。塑料手柄的刷子很便宜，而木制手柄的刷子要贵一些。)”可知，在工艺品商店，作者发现很难买到便宜又环保的材料。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“As an artist, I’m not exactly rolling in profits. Most of what I earn goes right back into my materials, leaving little room for choosing green materials. Fresh out of university, I am still searching for a job. Since I currently don’t have a regular income, I’m living with my family to save costs and paying careful attention to what I can afford.(作为一名艺术家，我并没有太多的利润。我赚的大部分钱都花在了我的材料上，几乎没有选择绿色材料的空间。大学刚毕业，我还在找工作。由于我目前没有固定的收入，我和家人住在一起，以节省开支，并将注意力放到我能负担得起的物品上。)”可知，作者是一位在生活和艺术中艰难奋斗的艺术家。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“So, to reduce my personal impact on climate change while also living within my means, I make full use of my brushes until they’re on their last hair, and I’ve become a master at repurposing cardboard boxes and various packing materials. The firm plastic packaging that once housed my paints finds a second purpose as glass in my miniature windows. The cardboard from those boxes’ serves as bases for a range of miniatures.(所以，为了减少我个人对气候变化的影响，同时也在我能力范围内生活，我充分利用我的画笔，直到它们只剩最后一根毛，我已经成为了重新利用纸箱和各种包装材料的大师。曾经存放我的颜料的坚固的塑料包装找到了第二个用途，可以作为我的微型窗户的玻璃。这些盒子里的硬纸板可以作为一系列微型模型的底座。)”可知，作者将包装材料重复使用变成自己的艺术作品。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“It’s an ongoing process—a journey of give and take. While I try to reduce my ecological footprint, I am also learning to balance practicality while enjoying creating my own art.(这是一个持续的过程——一个给予与索取的旅程。当我试图减少我的生态足迹时，我也在学习在享受创造自己的艺术的同时平衡实用性。)”及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了作者作为一名艺术家，经常要接触到一些不环保的艺术材料，于是作者开始使用一些绿色环保的艺术材料，并在追求艺术的道路上继续前行。A选项“我的绿色艺术家之旅”适合作为最佳标题。故选A。 C In March 2023, a group of computer scientists at Microsoft Research published an assessment of OpenAI’s new chatbot, GPT-4. The team report drew global attention to one test in particular. They put this question to GPT-4. Here we have a book, nine eggs, a laptop, a bottle and a nail. Please tell me how to stack (摞起) them onto each other in a stable manner. This is not an essay question. Nor is it a story problem. It is a practical problem requiring common sense and even original thought. Earlier versions of the chatbot gave absurd answers (such as stacking the nine eggs on top of each other). But GPT-4’s answer called for placing the eggs in a three-by-three arrangement between the book and the laptop. The egg layer supports the book, whose weight secures the eggs in place. The book in turn supports the bottle and nail. This answer, praised as a success, resulted in the current global wave of AI anxiety. It has led discussions about how large language models (LLMs) are able to perform creative tasks. The egg-stacking puzzle is an example of a functional fixedness problem. As described by Gestalt psychologist Karl Duncker in a 1945 paper, these ask the solver to complete a task with a given set of objects. The solution includes using some of the objects in unusual or creative ways. By 2022, LLMs were being trained on as many as 17 trillion words of human-generated text, mainly from the Internet. It’s all but certain that GPT-4 encountered functional fixedness problems in its training. Are LLMs truly original, or are they just plagiarists (剽窃者) good at covering their tracks? There’s nothing completely new under the sun. Edison did not invent the light bulb; he improved it. Most so-called creators apply knowledge from different fields to a problem and arrive at a solution. It’s more a matter of making relevant connections than of creating something completely new. If LLMs are indeed developing the ability to make relevant connections, that would be a great — and worrying — development. 8. What do we know about the question put to GPT-4? A. It is rather pointed. B. It is a math problem. C. It is a bit challenging. D. It is about text processing. 9. What did GPT-4’s answer lead to? A. Widespread praise from experts. B. Growing worry among the public. C. A heated discussion on where AI will go. D. An understanding of why AI should be developed. 10. Which of the following can best describe GPT-4’s answer? A. It has beaten human intelligence. B. It can hardly be put into practice. C. It is based on previous training. D. It is completely original. 11. What is mainly stressed in the last paragraph? A. The need to have great creators. B. The importance of being original. C. The difficulty of creating something new. D. The power of making relevant connections. 【答案】8 C 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了2023年3月微软研究院评估了GPT-4，评估报告中的鸡蛋堆叠谜题展示了其解决创造性问题的能力，这导致了全球对人工智能的焦虑浪潮，引发了关于大型语言模型如何能够执行创造性任务的讨论。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“This is not an essay question. Nor is it a story problem. It is a practical problem requiring common sense and even original thought. (这不是问答题。这也不是故事的问题。这是一个需要常识甚至原创思维的实际问题。)”可知，给GPT-4提出的问题需要使用常识，甚至是原创思维去解决。由此可知，该问题具有一定挑战性。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“This answer, praised as a success, resulted in the current global wave of AI anxiety. It has led discussions about how large language models (LLMs) are able to perform creative tasks. (这个被誉为成功的答案，导致了当前全球对人工智能的焦虑浪潮。它引发了关于大型语言模型如何能够执行创造性任务的讨论。)”可知，GPT-4的回答引发了公众越来越多的担忧。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“By 2022, LLMs were being trained on as many as 17 trillion words of human-generated text, mainly from the Internet. It’s all but certain that GPT-4 encountered functional fixedness problems in its training. (到2022年，大型语言模型正在接受多达17万亿字的人工生成文本的训练，这些文本主要来自互联网。几乎可以肯定的是，GPT-4在训练中遇到了功能固着问题。)”可知，GPT-4的答案是基于之前的训练。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“There’s nothing completely new under the sun. Edison did not invent the light bulb; he improved it. Most so-called creators apply knowledge from different fields to a problem and arrive at a solution. It’s more a matter of making relevant connections than of creating something completely new. (太阳底下没有全新的东西。电灯不是爱迪生发明的；他改进了它。大多数所谓的创造者将不同领域的知识应用于一个问题，并得出解决方案。更重要的是建立相关的联系，而不是创造全新的东西。)”可知，此处说明创造或创新的关键在于联结不同领域的知识，建立相关的联系，给出解决方案。由此可知，这里在强调建立相关联系的力量。故选D项。 D That artificial food dyes (染料) are unhealthy is not news. Some are known to cause hyperactivity (多动症) in some children, affecting their ability to learn. But regulatory agencies (监管机构) around the world don’t necessarily agree on which food dyes are a problem, or why. That may soon change. A 2021 peer-reviewed report by California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment concluded that artificial food dyes “cause or worsen neurobehavioral problems in some children” and that the current levels that are regarded safe for consumption by the federal government are too high. California is now considering requiring warning labels on food products and dietary supplements containing the seven most commonly used artificial dyes. The warning label requirement would put California on par with the European Union, which since 2010 has required food products containing certain artificial food dyes to carry warning labels about their negative effect on activity and attention in children. Artificial dyes are used in foods for one reason: to make products look prettier. Bright colors make candies appealing, especially to kids. But dyes are also in chocolate cake mixes, salad dressings and other products that don’t seem to cry out for a color boost. In Europe, it was the 2010 label lawmaking that triggered (引发) companies’ decisions to reformulate. “If you’ re a company, you do not want to put a warning label on your product.” says Lefferts, an environmental health consultant. Warning labels are why European Starburst Fruit Chews are now colored with natural products, not the artificial dyes that brighten their North American counterparts (同类商品). Given that artificial food dyes are used far more than needed, we need to be more cautious. After all, we don’t dye fresh fruits and vegetables, but we do dye candy and sprinkles, points out Joe Schwarcz, a chemistry professor at McGill University in Montreal. “The foods in which you find food dyes are foods that are poor in nutrition,” he says. “If you limit foods that contain food dyes, you automatically make your diet better.” 12. What can we learn about artificial food dyes from paragraph.1? A. A 2021 report confirmed their negative effects. B. The fact that they are harmful is newly revealed. C. Regulatory agencies consider them a serious problem. D. The Federal government thinks their current standard too high. 13. What does the underlined part “on par with” in paragraph 2 mean? A. In opposition to. B. In line with. C. in contrast to D. Ahead of. 14. Which might be a possible result of the new rule according to the article? A. Food companies will stop coloring their products. B. More fresh fruits and vegetables will appear in the market. C. Food companies may replace artificial dyes with natural products. D. It will be hard to find packaged foods without warning labels of dyes. 15. What’s Joe Schwarcz’s attitude towards artificial food dyes? A. Approving. B. Neutral. C. Tolerant. D. Concerned. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了2021年的一份报告证实了人工食用色素的负面影响，加州政府出台新规则，要求含有人工食用色素的食品贴上警告标签。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A 2021 peer-reviewed report by California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment concluded that artificial food dyes “cause or worsen neurobehavioral problems in some children” and that the current levels that are regarded safe for consumption by the federal government are too high.(加州环境健康危害评估办公室2021年的一份同行评议报告得出结论，人工食用色素“会导致或加剧一些儿童的神经行为问题”，目前联邦政府认为安全的食用色素水平太高了。)”可知，2021年的一份报告证实了人工食用色素的负面影响，会导致或加剧一些儿童的神经行为问题。故选A项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线短语on par with前文“California is now considering requiring warning labels on food products and dietary supplements containing the seven most commonly used artificial dyes.(加州目前正在考虑要求在食品和膳食补充剂上贴上含有七种最常用人工染料警告标签。)”以及后文“which since 2010 has required food products containing certain artificial food dyes to carry warning labels about their negative effect on activity and attention in children.(欧盟自2010年以来就要求含有某些人工食用色素的食品贴上警告标签，说明它们对儿童活动和注意力的负面影响。)”可知，加州也要像欧盟一样要求含有人工食用色素的食品贴上警告标签，从而推知划线短语on par with与B项“In line with(符合，保持一致)”意思相近，警告标签的要求将使加州与欧盟保持一致。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“After all, we don’t dye fresh fruits and vegetables, but we do dye candy and sprinkles, points out Joe Schwarcz, a chemistry professor at McGill University in Montreal.(毕竟，我们不会给新鲜水果和蔬菜染色，但我们会给糖果和糖屑染色，蒙特利尔麦吉尔大学的化学教授Joe Schwarcz指出。)”可知，由于对染色剂危害的了解，我们会避开选择它们，然而新鲜水果和蔬菜却不会染色，因此新的规则可能产生的结果是更多的新鲜水果和蔬菜将出现在市场上。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““The foods in which you find food dyes are foods that are poor in nutrition,” he says. “If you limit foods that contain food dyes, you automatically make your diet better.”(“你发现含有食物色素的食物是营养不良的食物”，他说。“如果你限制含有食用色素的食物，你的饮食就会自动变得更好。”)”可知，Joe Schwarcz对人工食用色素的态度是担忧的，认为含有食物色素的食物是营养不良的食物。故选D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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 Freudenfreude closely resembles positive empathy(共情)—the ability to experience someone else’s positive emotions. ____16____ It can also help people co-operate during a conflict and improve life satisfaction. If you’re interested in enjoying more freudenfreude, try the tips below. Show active interest in someone else’s happiness. One way to send good feelings for others is to ask questions. This practice is called shoy, or sharing joy. To start, invite the bearer of good news to discuss the experience. When listening, be sure to maintain eye contact and listen attentively, which can motivate you to keep going. ____17____ View individual success as a communal effort. “No one gets to the top alone, and when we elevate others, we’re often earned up with them,” Anhalt says. Jean Grae, an artist and self-identified “multipotentialist” supports friends and colleagues by adopting this mindset. When someone gels a new opportunity or reaches a milestone, she makes sure to celebrate. ____18____ “It’s truly inspirational,” she says, “because it lifts us all up and makes us shine.” ____19____ Because emotions are infectious, showing appreciation can increase freudenfreude for the gratitude giver and the receiver. In this way, you can think of freudenfreude as something you can spread when you’re experiencing personal joy. Turn into a joy spectator. “Too often, we think of joy passively,” Franco says. “We see it as something that comes to us, instead of something we can generate.” But you don’t need to wait for someone else’s good news to exercise freudenfreude. ____20____ You might ask: “What was the bright spot of your day?” or “what’s the best thing that happened to you this week?”. Asking about other people’s wins turns you into a joy spectator, giving you a chance to witness them at their best. A. Become a popular organizer. B. Show credit for your successes with others. C. Empathy isn’t always an automatic reaction. D. It motivates kind acts, such as helping others. E. It even makes you feel as if your efforts will pay off. F. Cultivate joy by inviting others to share their victories. G. She says she’s especially moved when anyone considered “other” succeeds. 【答案】16 D 17. E 18. G 19. B 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。乐他人之幸(freudenfreude)指的是体验别人积极情绪的能力，对此本文讲述了几点建议。 【16题详解】 后文“It can also help people co-operate during a conflict and improve life satisfaction.(它还可以帮助人们在冲突中合作，提高生活满意度。)”中的关键词“It can also help”表明空处应是乐他人之幸的作用，D项“它激励善意的行为，例如帮助他人。”符合题意。故选D。 【17题详解】 前文“When listening, be sure to maintain eye contact and listen attentively, which can motivate you to keep going.(在听的时候，一定要保持眼神交流，专心听讲，这可以激励你继续前进。)”讲述了在聆听别人的时候保持眼神交流并专心听讲，这能够激励你继续下去，空处应对前文进行补充说明，E项“这甚至让你觉得你的努力会有回报。”符合题意。故选E。 【18题详解】 根据本段小标题“View individual success as a communal effort.(将个人的成功视为共同的努力。)”可知，本段主要讲述了要把个人取得的成功看作是大家共同的努力。前文“When someone gets a new opportunity or reaches a milestone, she makes sure to celebrate.(当有人抓住一个新的机会或达到一个里程碑时，她一定要庆祝。)”讲述了她会庆祝别人的成功，空处应是她对此的看法，G项“她说，当任何人认为“他人”成功时，她都会特别感动。”符合题意，选项中的She与上下文中的she相照应。故选G。 【19题详解】 空处是本段小标题。根据下文“Because emotions are infectious, showing appreciation can increase freudenfreude for the gratitude giver and the receiver. In this way, you can think of freudenfreude as something you can spread when you’re experiencing personal joy.(因为情感是有感染力的，表达感激之情会增加给予者和接受者的乐他人之幸。通过这种方式，你可以将乐他人之幸视为当你体验个人快乐时可以传播的东西。)”可知，本段主要讲述了要表达感激之情，B项“对你和别人共同的成功表示赞扬”符合题意。故选B。 【20题详解】 前文“But you don’t need to wait for someone else’s good news to exercise freudenfreude.(但你不需要等待别人的好消息，也可以乐他人之幸。)”讲述了不用被动地等待别人说好消息。后文“You might ask: ‘What was the bright spot of your day?’ or ‘what’s the best thing that happened to you this week?’.(你可能会问：‘你一天中的亮点是什么？’或者‘这周发生在你身上的最好的事情是什么？’。)”讲述了你可以主动询问别人的好消息。空处应是说可以要求别人分享消息，F项“通过邀请他人分享他们的成功来获得快乐。”符合题意。故选F。 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，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Haniya heard the news that her sister was getting married.

I knew she was intentionally being naughty. It had been about nine months since we got Diana. The day that my mother let me choose one from the kennel (养狗场), she came over and started biting my shoelaces while the other puppies sat silently in the sun. I knew she was the perfect dog for me. And, for some reason, that feisty (充满活力的) energy was everything that I needed in my life. On this particular night, however, that feisty energy was making me frustrated. We lived in a remote area, and my mother didn’t like me walking Diana too late after school. But I loved challenging the rules, so I ignored her warnings and set out later than usual that day. But, as the sun set and the approaching night cast unsettling shadows among the trees, I couldn’t help but feel nervous. Anxieties flooded my mind — thoughts of possibly getting lost, the fear of encountering some frightening creature emerging unexpectedly from the darkness. The hairs on the back of my arms stood on end. “Diana!” I yelled again, this time with true fear in my voice. She finally came back. Relief set in as I tied her to the leash (拴狗链).Then we set off in the direction of our home — or so I thought. After about ten minutes, we had lost the path. I looked around and could just about make out the open surface of a dried-up lake. I knew that home wasn’t far away. I’d never walked across the lake before, and my mother had warned against it, but I just wanted to get home quickly. So, rather than going all the way around, I decided I’d feel safer taking the shortcut (近路) across the lake. Diana went first. In the fading light, I could see that the mud directly below her paws was dry and delicate. I stepped out onto the lake, and my foot went in a little deeper than expected. Carefully, I took a second step, but this time I was sinking. Below the hard-looking surface was wet-mud soup, and it was pulling me under. 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。 “Help me!” I yelled loudly. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My mother was there when I walked in the door with mud all over me. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: “Help me!” I yelled loudly. In the freezing twilight, Diana sensed danger. Quickly, she withdrew to the safety of the shore. With remarkable determination, Diana seized the leash, securing herself firmly and becoming my lifeline, pulling inch by inch. Tears welled in my eyes as her feisty energy transformed into a heroic effort. With her assistance, I reached safety, pulling myself out of the mud. In a state of shock, we began our journey home, taking a different route around the lake. A silent gratitude lingered between us. My mother was there when I walked in the door with mud all over me. I explained to her the situation. My mother gave me a frustrated look, but she knew that I had learned a lesson and didn’t push me to say more at the time, for which I was thankful. I looked down at Diana and knew that I had been right to trust my intuition on the day that I chose her. But I realized that her feisty energy was more than something I just needed in my life. Because of it, I had been saved. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者放学后带着收养的小狗Diana散步，她是一只充满活力的小狗，正是作者生活中所需要的。Diana很淘气，引得作者一直在找她。在这样一个特别的夜晚，Diana的这种活力让作者感到沮丧。在黑暗中作者感到紧张和恐惧，担心迷路和遇到可怕的生物。Diana回到身边后，作者带着她往家的方向走去，但不幸迷路了。尽管害怕，作者还是决定抄近路穿过一个干涸的湖，结果陷入泥浆中。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘帮帮我！’我大声喊道”和第二段首句中的“当我满身是泥地走进门的时候”可知，第一段可描写小狗Diana非常努力救起陷入泥浆中的作者，以及作者带着Diana绕远路开始回家。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我满身是泥地走进门的时候，我妈妈就在那里”可知，第二段可描写作者向妈妈解释情况，妈妈出于理解没有过分苛责作者，以及作者对Diana救了自己充满感激。 2. 续写线索：作者求救——Diana施救——作者和Diana回家——作者进门——作者和母亲之间的交流——作者感激Diana 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①察觉：sense/perceive/detect ②抓住：seize/grasp/hold ③转变成：transform into/turn into ④解释：explain/clarify/explicate 情绪类 ①震惊：shock/astonishment ②感激：gratitude/appreciation ③失望的：frustrated/ upset/discouraged 【点睛】[高分句型1] Tears welled in my eyes as her feisty energy transformed into a heroic effort.

Depending on the desired tour length, you can choose from a short ride to the entire 109-mile length! However, for most people, the section of the trail from Rochford to Hill City makes for a nice day’s ride. This 22.5-mile part of the trail owns numerous tunnels, railroad bridges, and breathtaking scenery. There is a several-mile climb at a very low grade, so if that doesn’t match with your vacation preferences, there’s an option to do an 18-mile downhill part instead! This is typically run as a private tour with just your group or family, and because of that, we have to charge a single-person supplement of $125 if you are traveling alone, since it will likely just be yourself and a guide. Start time: 10:00 am End time: 5:00 pm Pricing and what’s included 1 person: $175 + supplement 2 persons: $299 per person 3 — 4 persons: $249 per person Large groups: Please ask for additional discounts All prices include bike rental, helmets, private guide, onboard snacks, drinks and picnic lunch. Other things to know This tour can be combined with other activities, like spending the morning at Devils Tower, stopping by Mt Rushmore, or visiting the wineries and breweries (啤酒厂) after the ride in Hill City! Just email and tell us your thoughts and we’ll help you design a day that is perfect for your group! 1. Which ride does the text suggest for most people? A. The 18-mile ride. B. The 22.5-mile ride. C. The 40.5-mile ride. D. The 109-mile ride. 2. How much would a single person pay for the biking tour? A. $175. B. $249. C. $299. D. $300. 3. What do we know about the biking tour? A. It can last for several days. B. It begins early in the morning. C. It can include additional activities. D. It requires people to bring their bikes. B As I stand in my favorite craft store, I’m faced with choices that mirror the world outside. You see, I love my foam (泡沫橡胶) board, which has foam inside and is sandwiched between two layers of paper or plastic. It’s easy to work with and affordable, but not friendly to the environment. Or take a look at the paintbrushes. The plastic handle brushes are cheap while the brushes with wooden handles cost a fair bit more. Glues are the unsung heroes of my art, yet their plastic containers are far from eco-friendly. And don’t get me started on the packaging that these art supplies come in. It’s all plastic, and it’s a reminder that even in the art world, being green isn’t always easy. As an artist, I’m not exactly rolling in profits. Most of what I earn goes right back into my materials, leaving little room for choosing green materials. Fresh out of university, I am still searching for a job. Since I currently don’t have a regular income, I’m living with my family to save costs and paying careful attention to what I can afford. But I also care deeply about climate change, since I’ve seen its impact and can’t bear the thought of it getting worse. So, to reduce my personal impact on climate change while also living within my means, I make full use of my brushes until they’re on their last hair, and I’ve become a master at repurposing cardboard boxes and various packing materials. The firm plastic packaging that once housed my paints finds a second purpose as glass in my miniature (微型的) windows. The cardboard from those boxes’ serves as bases for a range of miniatures. I don’t waste a bit of foam board either; it’s kept for crafting mini-books for my sets. It’s an ongoing process — a journey of give and take. While I try to reduce my ecological footprint, I am also learning to balance practicality while enjoying creating my own art. 4. What does the author find in the craft store? A Most materials aren’t as green as required. B. It is difficult to buy cheap and green materials. C. The prices of some green materials keep going up. D. Her favorite green materials are always very popular. 5. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. The author is a struggling artist. B. The author likes working at home. C. The author mainly uses green materials. D. The author creates art about climate change. 6. How does the author deal with her packing materials? A. She sells them to buy books. B. She exchanges them for paints. C. She gives them to a recycling company. D. She tries to reuse them in her artworks. 7. What is the best title for the text? A My journey as a green artist B. My expectations of a green artist C. My experience of picking green materials D. My exploration in crafting green artwork C In March 2023, a group of computer scientists at Microsoft Research published an assessment of OpenAI’s new chatbot, GPT-4. The team report drew global attention to one test in particular. They put this question to GPT-4. Here we have a book, nine eggs, a laptop, a bottle and a nail. Please tell me how to stack (摞起) them onto each other in a stable manner. This is not an essay question. Nor is it a story problem. It is a practical problem requiring common sense and even original thought. Earlier versions of the chatbot gave absurd answers (such as stacking the nine eggs on top of each other). But GPT-4’s answer called for placing the eggs in a three-by-three arrangement between the book and the laptop. The egg layer supports the book, whose weight secures the eggs in place. The book in turn supports the bottle and nail. This answer, praised as a success, resulted in the current global wave of AI anxiety. It has led discussions about how large language models (LLMs) are able to perform creative tasks. The egg-stacking puzzle is an example of a functional fixedness problem. As described by Gestalt psychologist Karl Duncker in a 1945 paper, these ask the solver to complete a task with a given set of objects. The solution includes using some of the objects in unusual or creative ways. By 2022, LLMs were being trained on as many as 17 trillion words of human-generated text, mainly from the Internet. It’s all but certain that GPT-4 encountered functional fixedness problems in its training. Are LLMs truly original, or are they just plagiarists (剽窃者) good at covering their tracks? There’s nothing completely new under the sun. Edison did not invent the light bulb; he improved it. Most so-called creators apply knowledge from different fields to a problem and arrive at a solution. It’s more a matter of making relevant connections than of creating something completely new. If LLMs are indeed developing the ability to make relevant connections, that would be a great — and worrying — development. 8. What do we know about the question put to GPT-4? A. It is rather pointed. B. It is a math problem. C. It is a bit challenging. D. It is about text processing. 9. What did GPT-4’s answer lead to? A. Widespread praise from experts. B. Growing worry among the public. C. A heated discussion on where AI will go. D. An understanding of why AI should be developed. 10. Which of the following can best describe GPT-4’s answer? A.

D That artificial food dyes (染料) are unhealthy is not news. Some are known to cause hyperactivity (多动症) in some children, affecting their ability to learn. But regulatory agencies (监管机构) around the world don’t necessarily agree on which food dyes are a problem, or why. That may soon change. A 2021 peer-reviewed report by California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment concluded that artificial food dyes “cause or worsen neurobehavioral problems in some children” and that the current levels that are regarded safe for consumption by the federal government are too high. California is now considering requiring warning labels on food products and dietary supplements containing the seven most commonly used artificial dyes. The warning label requirement would put California on par with the European Union, which since 2010 has required food products containing certain artificial food dyes to carry warning labels about their negative effect on activity and attention in children. Artificial dyes are used in foods for one reason: to make products look prettier. Bright colors make candies appealing, especially to kids. But dyes are also in chocolate cake mixes, salad dressings and other products that don’t seem to cry out for a color boost. In Europe, it was the 2010 label lawmaking that triggered (引发) companies’ decisions to reformulate. “If you’ re a company, you do not want to put a warning label on your product.” says Lefferts, an environmental health consultant. Warning labels are why European Starburst Fruit Chews are now colored with natural products, not the artificial dyes that brighten their North American counterparts (同类商品). Given that artificial food dyes are used far more than needed, we need to be more cautious. After all, we don’t dye fresh fruits and vegetables, but we do dye candy and sprinkles, points out Joe Schwarcz, a chemistry professor at McGill University in Montreal. “The foods in which you find food dyes are foods that are poor in nutrition,” he says. “If you limit foods that contain food dyes, you automatically make your diet better.” 12. What can we learn about artificial food dyes from paragraph.1? A. A 2021 report confirmed their negative effects. B. The fact that they are harmful is newly revealed. C. Regulatory agencies consider them a serious problem. D. The Federal government thinks their current standard too high. 13. What does the underlined part “on par with” in paragraph 2 mean? A. In opposition to. B. In line with. C. in contrast to D. Ahead of. 14. Which might be a possible result of the new rule according to the article? A. Food companies will stop coloring their products. B. More fresh fruits and vegetables will appear in the market. C. Food companies may replace artificial dyes with natural products. D. It will be hard to find packaged foods without warning labels of dyes. 15. What’s Joe Schwarcz’s attitude towards artificial food dyes? A. Approving. B. Neutral. C. Tolerant. D. Concerned. 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。 Freudenfreude closely resembles positive empathy(共情)—the ability to experience someone else’s positive emotions. ____16____ It can also help people co-operate during a conflict and improve life satisfaction. If you’re interested in enjoying more freudenfreude, try the tips below. Show active interest in someone else’s happiness. One way to send good feelings for others is to ask questions. This practice is called shoy or sharing joy. To start, invite the bearer of good news to discuss the experience. When listening, be sure to maintain eye contact and listen attentively, which can motivate you to keep going. ____17____ View individual success as a communal effort. “No one gets to the top alone, and when we elevate others, we’re often earned up with them,” Anhalt says.

When someone gels a new opportunity or reaches a milestone, she makes sure to celebrate. ____18____ “It’s truly inspirational,” she says, “because it lifts us all up and makes us shine.” ____19____ Because emotions are infectious, showing appreciation can increase freudenfreude for the gratitude giver and the receiver. In this way, you can think of freudenfreude as something you can spread when you’re experiencing personal joy. Turn into a joy spectator. “Too often, we think of joy passively,” Franco says. “We see it as something that comes to us, instead of something we can generate.” But you don’t need to wait for someone else’s good news to exercise freudenfreude. ____20____ You might ask: “What was the bright spot of your day?” or “what’s the best thing that happened to you this week?”.

I knew she was intentionally being naughty. It had been about nine months since we got Diana. The day that my mother let me choose one from the kennel (养狗场), she came over and started biting my shoelaces while the other puppies sat silently in the sun. I knew she was the perfect dog for me. And, for some reason, that feisty (充满活力的) energy was everything that I needed in my life. On this particular night, however, that feisty energy was making me frustrated. We lived in a remote area, and my mother didn’t like me walking Diana too late after school. But I loved challenging the rules, so I ignored her warnings and set out later than usual that day. But, as the sun set and the approaching night cast unsettling shadows among the trees, I couldn’t help but feel nervous. Anxieties flooded my mind — thoughts of possibly getting lost, the fear of encountering some frightening creature emerging unexpectedly from the darkness. The hairs on the back of my arms stood on end. “Diana!” I yelled again, this time with true fear in my voice. She finally came back. Relief set in as I tied her to the leash (拴狗链).Then we set off in the direction of our home — or so I thought. After about ten minutes, we had lost the path. I looked around and could just about make out the open surface of a dried-up lake. I knew that home wasn’t far away. I’d never walked across the lake before, and my mother had warned against it, but I just wanted to get home quickly. So, rather than going all the way around, I decided I’d feel safer taking the shortcut (近路) across the lake. Diana went first. In the fading light, I could see that the mud directly below her paws was dry and delicate. I stepped out onto the lake, and my foot went in a little deeper than expected. Carefully, I took a second step, but this time I was sinking. Below the hard-looking surface was wet-mud soup, and it was pulling me under. 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。 “Help me!” I yelled loudly. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My mother was there when I walked in the door with mud all over me. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 BACBB 6-10 ACBAC 11-15 ACBAA 16-20 BBACC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
