One day I was unwrapping a birthday gift from my teenage son—a blouse more stylish than I felt comfortable wearing. My first thought when I opened the tissue paper and saw the blouse was that it was another candidate to hang in the back of my closet. I felt like the most important person didn’t care enough about me to think about my likes and dislikes.
“What do you think, Mom?” Jason asked, hardly waiting for me to pull the blouse out of the box. “I thought it would look so nice on you.” He smiled at me with anticipation.
At that moment, I realized Jason saw me as someone who would be open to receiving and wearing something more elegant than my usual clothes. He wanted to give me something special. It was a flash of sudden recognition. Then everything changed.
“It’s beautiful,” I was able to say genuinely as I hugged him.
“Try it on. I want to see how it looks,” Jason added.
“I know just the skirt to try it with,” I said as I headed towards my closet.
When I returned with the outfit on, Jason was waiting. “It looks just like I thought it would. It’s pretty on you, Mom,” Jason said.
I tried to stop the tears that were welling in the corner of my eyes. “Thank you, honey. It is a beautiful blouse. I can tell you put a lot of thought into picking it out.”
Jason probably wondered why I was so emotional over the gift. It made me think back on the gifts I’d ignored. Maybe the people who gave me the gifts saw something in me that I didn’t see in myself. That opened me up to change and growth.
In the years since, I received my son’s present. I have rarely felt disappointed when a gift doesn’t match my interests or desires. I’ve started appreciating the thoughts and efforts behind every gift and accepted it with gratitude. This change has made holidays more joyful and deepened my appreciation for family and friends.
There is surely something special about receiving a gift that is perfectly suited for you. But I have found that it is just as special to receive all gifts with an open mind and a grateful heart.
24. How did the author feel in the beginning when receiving the present from her son?
A. Curious. B. Relieved. C. Guilty. D. Dissatisfied.
25. What mainly changed the author’s attitude toward Jason’s gift?
A. The understanding of Jason’s thoughts.
B. The recognition of her own potential.
C. The skirt that matches the blouse.
D. The praise from Jason.
26. After reflecting on past gifts, the author became _________.
A. careful about choosing gifts
B. indifferent to receiving gifts
C. joyful about choosing gifts
D. grateful for receiving gifts
27. What can we learn from this passage?
A. What suits you is best for you.
B. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
C. An open mind is the source of progress.
D. Unspoken gratitude is often the most heartfelt.
C
What time is it on the Moon? Since the dawn of the space age, the answer has been: It depends. For decades, lunar missions have operated on the time of the country that launched them. However, as different countries plan lunar missions, the current system has been considered unsustainable.
The solution is a lunar time zone. Creating a time zone up there may simplify things. The main objective of establishing a universal timekeeping system for the Moon is to make the contact among the various countries more efficient.
The discussion about how to do that is happening as things are starting to get busy on and above the lunar surface. A lunar lander from one country is set to arrive on the Moon. Another lander, from a different country, is expected to land on the South Pole of the Moon. These missions, along with other possible lunar landings, are happening as a space agency prepares to send four astronauts into orbit around the Moon. China completed the construction of its own space station and previously hinted that Chinese astronauts would be on the Moon by 2030. With increased exploration comes the potential for miscommunication.
“These missions will not only be on or around the Moon at the same time, but they will often be interacting as well — potentially passing communications for one another, performing joint observations or meeting up,” stated a space agency. For all those interactions to happen smoothly, the missions will need to operate on a standardized time, the agency said.
“This idea of timekeeping on the Moon is important because it shows the international development of the Moon,” an expert said. “Precision timekeeping was key to travel on the Earth, and it’s key to travel between the Earth and the Moon.”
A universal timekeeping system for the Moon is needed, but many details remain to be worked out. One of the questions that has yet to be settled is whether lunar time should be set on the Moon or matched with the Earth.
Once a new lunar time zone is established, the methods used to create it will be useful for future space exploration. Astronauts can go to Mars in the next two to three decades and will face similar hurdles that a Martian time zone could address.
28. The author raises the question underlined in Paragraph 1 mainly to _________.
A. introduce the topic B. highlight the term
C. make a comparison D. challenge an assumption
29. What can be inferred from the third paragraph?
A. Humans will be busy exploring outer space.
B. It is urgent that humans create a lunar time zone.
C. It is vital that humans conduct lunar explorations.
D. Humans will gain great achievements in lunar missions.
30. As for the lunar time zone, which would the author agree with?
A. It has been successfully established.
B. It may ease managing different lunar missions.
C. It will match the time on the Moon with Earth’s.
D. It can help achieve environmental sustainability.
D
Everyone is worried about the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in health care. Opinion pieces debate the ability of AI to manage patient needs. Doctors are alternately criticizing and advocating for how it can be used in their practices, and patients are questioning how it will impact their quality of care and their bills. But the reality is that the big bad wolf at the door of the health care industry isn’t the unknown of machine learning—it’s the very real threat of innovation leading the charge without doctors controlling the direction.
Trust forms the bedrock of an ethical (道德的) health care system, which creates an environment that prioritizes the well-being of the patient above all else. Bu as health care startups (初创公司) attempt to reshape the delivery of patient care, major concerns have emerged regarding the prioritization of business interests over patient outcomes.
Innovation is the key to promising new treatments and cures that will ultimately change the lives of millions—but the lack of provider involvement in new health care businesses is putting patients in grave danger.
Health care is more complex than any other field, and demands the highest standards when it comes to ethical practices. There is no room for trial and error when human lives are on the line, nor is it acceptable to misuse private patient data for profit-driven purposes. Yet we’re seeing new business models grow at alarming rates without regard for ethical health care practices. It’s this “growth at all costs” attitude that blurs the lines between profitability and patient outcomes. Investors and executives are putting themselves in positions of power without any strategic advising from an experienced medical provider.
The modern-day patient has evolved significantly—individuals are showing up to appointments having done extensive research and not always on reliable platforms. Patients must be mindful of what information they are giving out and the associated comfort level of it being shared. Medical history can have unexpected results for your entire life. Could the release of certain information impact your family, job, or career? The provider’s job is to advocate for the patient. This includes demanding transparency regarding data handling and security rules, challenging questionable marketing claims, and ensuring businesses prioritize evidence-based medicine and patient safety.
So, we have to make full use of a provider’s influence and experience, ensuring they are used to promote patient well-being and protect their interests at every turn. As trusted custodians (管理人) of patient data, health care providers bear the responsibility of ensuring that the business prioritizes privacy protection and obeys data security rules. At the same time, startup companies must take steps to ensure data security and patient-centric ethical practices with medical professionals in advisory and decision-making positions.
31 What leads to the author’s concerns about the role of AI in health care?
A. The ability of AI to meet patients’ needs.
B. The lack of doctors’ guidance in practice.
C. Doctors’ criticism of AI in their practices.
D. Patients’ complaints about the quality of their care.
32. What does the underlined word “blurs” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A. Confuses. B. Links. C. Marks. D. Balances.
33. It is implied in this passage that we should ________.
A. limit the development of AI in health care startups
B. encourage doctors to be equipped with AI technologies
C. hold a critical view towards innovation in the health care area
D. inform patients of the threat of AI technologies in health care businesses
34. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. How Is Innovation Advocating for Patients?
B. How Is Innovation Influencing People’s Lives?
C. How Are Some Health Care Startups Putting Patients at Risk?
D. How Are Some Health Care Startups Developing AI Technologies?

College is a time unlike any other in your life. ____35____ Everyone does it differently. Most students who succeed in college, however; share certain characteristics.
____36____ College academics in the first term will be particularly difficult because it is material that you have never seen before. Plus, you are facing much higher expectations, especially since you are the one responsible for your own motivation and success. Unlike high school, college expects you to build your education from the bottom up, rather than repeating whatever facts a teacher feeds you. This means much more work than you are used to.
It is a good idea to get involved in clubs and events. ____37____ Because no one is forced to participate. The people who are there enjoy being there on their own. It’s no secret the real draw of clubs and events is the social aspect. You’ll probably meet a lot of people with similar interests.
Additionally it’s important to maintain your health and manage your finances. If you want to succeed in college and learn how to balance work, play, and a thousand different things in between, you’ll need to start getting serious about your health. ____38____ To make a budget, make a written list of the money you’ll have during any given month. Look at your past expenses, and budget out how much you’ll allow yourself to spend during that month. The expenses should not exceed the amount of money you have. Moreover, you can check with your school about work-study opportunities. ____39____ This should also give you opportunities to study while you earn a paycheck.
A. College life is more than just academics.
B. You’d better avoid delaying your studying.
C. There is no secret recipe for succeeding in college.

第三部分 书面表达(共两节,32分)
第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分,第42题3分,第43题5分,共12分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
From young adulthood, our belief of what makes a good friendship changes very little, but our ability to maintain one does. It’s a poignant(令人心酸的) reality. We know what it means to be and have friends. But after we graduate from college and go our separate ways, we’re often unable to find the time and energy to maintain valuable friendships. Like anything else in life, if we want to remain friends with someone, it requires a little work.
According to psychologists, there are four basic behaviors necessary to maintain the bond. And they hold true whether we’re 17 or 70.
Communication promotes the first two essential behaviors: openness and supportiveness, both necessary for a close relationship. We must be willing to open up and share our lives with our friends, letting them know how we are doing. Similarly, we need to listen to them and offer support.
Interaction is the third essential in tending to a friendship. The specific activity doesn’t matter. The important thing is to interact. My best friend, Jane, goes back to school to earn her master’s in social work. She now deals with a large number of patients which takes up a lot of her time. We email and talk on our cell phones at whatever hour we can fit it in. And we do, always, make time to fit it in, which is how we stay good friends.
The last and most difficult behaviour necessary for keeping friends is being positive. While it is important to be open with our friends, we should not over-share our negative feelings. At the end of the day, a successful friendship must be enjoyable. The more we feel good about it, the more we’re willing to put in the energy it takes to keep it alive.
40. What are the first two essential behaviors to maintain a good friendship?
________________________________________________________________________________
41. How do Jane and the author interact with each other?
________________________________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
To keep a successful friendship, we should not express our negative feelings.
________________________________________________________________________________
43. Do you prefer to keep in touch with your friends online? Why or why not? (In about 40 words)
________________________________________________________________________________

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了天井的历史及原理。
【18题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:天井在中国南方和东部很常见,是传统住宅的典型特征。句子的谓语动词是are,see应使用非谓语动词形式作状语,动词see与其逻辑主语skywells之间为被动关系,故应用过去分词形式作状语,故填seen。
【19题详解】
考查动词时态语态及主谓一致。句意:早在空调发明之前,数百年前它们就被设计用来为建筑物降温。此处在句中作谓语,结合时间状语hundreds of years ago可知,句子是在描述过去发生的事,应用一般过去时,主语they(skywells)和动词design之间是被动关系,应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语they是复数,be动词应用were。故填were designed。
【20题详解】
考查动词时态及主谓一致。句意:因为室外空气通常比室内空气冷,所以进来的微风会沿着墙壁吹到较低的楼层,并通过取代较暖的室内空气来产生气流。此处在句中作谓语,结合并列谓语creates及句意可知,句子是在描述一般事实,应用一般现在时,主语the incoming breeze是不可数名词,谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填travels。

One day I was unwrapping a birthday gift from my teenage son—a blouse more stylish than I felt comfortable wearing. My first thought when I opened the tissue paper and saw the blouse was that it was another candidate to hang in the back of my closet. I felt like the most important person didn’t care enough about me to think about my likes and dislikes.
“What do you think, Mom?” Jason asked, hardly waiting for me to pull the blouse out of the box. “I thought it would look so nice on you.” He smiled at me with anticipation.
At that moment, I realized Jason saw me as someone who would be open to receiving and wearing something more elegant than my usual clothes. He wanted to give me something special. It was a flash of sudden recognition. Then everything changed.
“It’s beautiful,” I was able to say genuinely as I hugged him.
“Try it on. I want to see how it looks,” Jason added.
“I know just the skirt to try it with,” I said as I headed towards my closet.
When I returned with the outfit on, Jason was waiting. “It looks just like I thought it would. It’s pretty on you, Mom,” Jason said.
I tried to stop the tears that were welling in the corner of my eyes. “Thank you, honey. It is a beautiful blouse. I can tell you put a lot of thought into picking it out.”
Jason probably wondered why I was so emotional over the gift. It made me think back on the gifts I’d ignored. Maybe the people who gave me the gifts saw something in me that I didn’t see in myself. That opened me up to change and growth.
In the years since, I received my son’s present. I have rarely felt disappointed when a gift doesn’t match my interests or desires. I’ve started appreciating the thoughts and efforts behind every gift and accepted it with gratitude. This change has made holidays more joyful and deepened my appreciation for family and friends.
There is surely something special about receiving a gift that is perfectly suited for you. But I have found that it is just as special to receive all gifts with an open mind and a grateful heart.
24. How did the author feel in the beginning when receiving the present from her son?
A. Curious. B. Relieved. C. Guilty. D. Dissatisfied.
25. What mainly changed the author’s attitude toward Jason’s gift?
A. The understanding of Jason’s thoughts.

C. The skirt that matches the blouse.
D. The praise from Jason.
26. After reflecting on past gifts, the author became _________.
A. careful about choosing gifts

27. What can we learn from this passage?

【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者收到了儿子送的生日礼物,这件礼物并不合作者的心意,但作者突然意识到这反应了自己在儿子心目中的形象,作者的心态发生了改变。收下适合自己的礼物固然特别,但怀着开放且感激的心情收下所有类型的礼物同样特别。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“One day I was unwrapping a birthday gift from my teenage son—a blouse more stylish than I felt comfortable wearing. My first thought when I opened the tissue paper and saw the blouse was that it was another candidate to hang in the back of my closet. I felt like the most important person didn’t care enough about me to think about my likes and dislikes.(有一天,我正打开十几岁儿子送的生日礼物——一件与其说我穿起来感觉舒适倒不如说时尚的衬衫。当我打开薄纸看到这件衬衫时,我第一个想到的是,它又是一件挂在衣橱后面的候选衬衫。我觉得最重要的人没有足够关心我,没有考虑我的喜恶。)”可知,作者觉得这件衬衫穿起来不舒服,以后只能在衣柜里束之高阁,她觉得儿子没有关心自己,由此可推测出,作者不满意。故选D。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“At that moment, I realized Jason saw me as someone who would be open to receiving and wearing something more elegant than my usual clothes. He wanted to give me something special.

I’ve started appreciating the thoughts and efforts behind every gift and accepted it with gratitude.(当礼物不符合我的兴趣或愿望时,我很少感到失望。我开始欣赏每一份礼物背后的想法和努力,并感激地接受它。)”可知,作者回顾了过去曾收到的礼物,开始心怀感激地接受礼物。故选D。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,作者一开始收到儿子礼物的时候感觉不合自己的心意,有些失望,但后来突然理解了儿子送这件礼物背后的想法,这让作者改变了心态,回顾以前收到的礼物,作者明白了送礼人背后的想法和努力,此后开始保持开放心态、心怀感激地接受礼物。最后一段中的“But I have found that it is just as special to receive all gifts with an open mind and a grateful heart.(但我发现,以开放的心态和感恩的心接受所有礼物同样特别。)”突出文章主题,即要怀着开放的心态和感恩的心接受所有礼物。由此可推测出,C项“开放的心态是进步的源泉。”符合题意。故选C。

What time is it on the Moon? Since the dawn of the space age, the answer has been: It depends. For decades, lunar missions have operated on the time of the country that launched them. However, as different countries plan lunar missions, the current system has been considered unsustainable.
The solution is a lunar time zone. Creating a time zone up there may simplify things. The main objective of establishing a universal timekeeping system for the Moon is to make the contact among the various countries more efficient.
The discussion about how to do that is happening as things are starting to get busy on and above the lunar surface. A lunar lander from one country is set to arrive on the Moon. Another lander, from a different country, is expected to land on the South Pole of the Moon. These missions, along with other possible lunar landings, are happening as a space agency prepares to send four astronauts into orbit around the Moon. China completed the construction of its own space station and previously hinted that Chinese astronauts would be on the Moon by 2030. With increased exploration comes the potential for miscommunication.
“These missions will not only be on or around the Moon at the same time, but they will often be interacting as well — potentially passing communications for one another, performing joint observations or meeting up,” stated a space agency. For all those interactions to happen smoothly, the missions will need to operate on a standardized time, the agency said.
“This idea of timekeeping on the Moon is important because it shows the international development of the Moon,” an expert said. “Precision timekeeping was key to travel on the Earth, and it’s key to travel between the Earth and the Moon.”
A universal timekeeping system for the Moon is needed but many details remain to be worked out. One of the questions that has yet to be settled is whether lunar time should be set on the Moon or matched with the Earth.
Once a new lunar time zone is established, the methods used to create it will be useful for future space exploration. Astronauts can go to Mars in the next two to three decades and will face similar hurdles that a Martian time zone could address.
28. The author raises the question underlined in Paragraph 1 mainly to _________.
A. introduce the topic B. highlight the term
C. make a comparison D. challenge an assumption
29. What can be inferred from the third paragraph?
A. Humans will be busy exploring outer space.
B. It is urgent that humans create a lunar time zone.
C. It is vital that humans conduct lunar explorations.
D. Humans will gain great achievements in lunar missions.
30. As for the lunar time zone, which would the author agree with?
A. It has been successfully established.
B. It may ease managing different lunar missions.
C. It will match the time on the Moon with Earth’s.
D. It can help achieve environmental sustainability.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. B

推理判断题。根据第一段“What time is it on the Moon? Since the dawn of the space age, the answer has been: It depends. For decades, lunar missions have operated on the time of the country that launched them. However, as different countries plan lunar missions, the current system has been considered unsustainable.(月球上现在是几点?自太空时代开始以来,答案一直是:视情况而定。几十年来,登月任务都是根据发射国的时间来执行的。然而,随着不同的国家计划月球任务,目前的系统被认为是不可持续的)”可知,第一段提出问题主要是为了引出文章话题。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The main objective of establishing a universal timekeeping system for the Moon is to make the contact among the various countries more efficient.(建立一个通用的月球计时系统的主要目的是使各国之间的联系更有效)”以及第三段“The discussion about how to do that is happening as things are starting to get busy on and above the lunar surface. A lunar lander from one country is set to arrive on the Moon. Another lander, from a different country, is expected to land on the South Pole of the Moon. These missions, along with other possible lunar landings, are happening as a space agency prepares to send four astronauts into orbit around the Moon. China completed the construction of its own space station and previously hinted that Chinese astronauts would be on the Moon by 2030. With increased exploration comes the potential for miscommunication.(关于如何做到这一点的讨论正在发生,因为月球表面上的事情开始变得忙碌起来。一个国家的月球着陆器即将到达月球。来自另一个国家的另一个着陆器预计将降落在月球南极。这些任务,连同其他可能的月球着陆,都是在一个太空机构准备将四名宇航员送入月球轨道时进行的。中国完成了自己的空间站建设,此前曾暗示中国宇航员将在2030年前登上月球。随着探索的增加,误解的可能性也随之而来)”可知,随着越来越多的国家进行月球探索,人类迫切需要建立一个月球时区。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Creating a time zone up there may simplify things. The main objective of establishing a universal timekeeping system for the Moon is to make the contact among the various countries more efficient.(在那里创建一个时区可能会简化事情。建立一个通用的月球计时系统的主要目的是使各国之间的联系更有效)”以及第四段“ “These missions will not only be on or around the Moon at the same time, but they will often be interacting as well — potentially passing communications for one another, performing joint observations or meeting up,” stated a space agency. For all those interactions to happen smoothly, the missions will need to operate on a standardized time, the agency said.(“这些任务不仅会在同一时间在月球上或月球周围进行,而且它们还会经常互动——可能会相互传递通信,进行联合观测或会面,”一家航天机构表示。为了使所有这些互动顺利进行,这些任务需要在标准化时间内进行操作,该机构表示。)”可知,月球时区可以简化管理不同的月球任务。故选B。
D
Everyone is worried about the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in health care. Opinion pieces debate the ability of AI to manage patient needs. Doctors are alternately criticizing and advocating for how it can be used in their practices, and patients are questioning how it will impact their quality of care and their bills. But the reality is that the big bad wolf at the door of the health care industry isn’t the unknown of machine learning—it’s the very real threat of innovation leading the charge without doctors controlling the direction.
Trust forms the bedrock of an ethical (道德的) health care system, which creates an environment that prioritizes the well-being of the patient above all else. Bu as health care startups (初创公司) attempt to reshape the delivery of patient care, major concerns have emerged regarding the prioritization of business interests over patient outcomes.
Innovation is the key to promising new treatments and cures that will ultimately change the lives of millions—but the lack of provider involvement in new health care businesses is putting patients in grave danger.
Health care is more complex than any other field, and demands the highest standards when it comes to ethical practices. There is no room for trial and error when human lives are on the line, nor is it acceptable to misuse private patient data for profit-driven purposes. Yet we’re seeing new business models grow at alarming rates without regard for ethical health care practices. It’s this “growth at all costs” attitude that blurs the lines between profitability and patient outcomes. Investors and executives are putting themselves in positions of power without any strategic advising from an experienced medical provider.
The modern-day patient has evolved significantly—individuals are showing up to appointments having done extensive research, and not always on reliable platforms. Patients must be mindful of what information they are giving out and the associated comfort level of it being shared. Medical history can have unexpected results for your entire life. Could the release of certain information impact your family, job, or career? The provider’s job is to advocate for the patient. This includes demanding transparency regarding data handling and security rules, challenging questionable marketing claims, and ensuring businesses prioritize evidence-based medicine and patient safety.
So, we have to make full use of a provider’s influence and experience, ensuring they are used to promote patient well-being and protect their interests at every turn. As trusted custodians (管理人) of patient data, health care providers bear the responsibility of ensuring that the business prioritizes privacy protection and obeys data security rules. At the same time, startup companies must take steps to ensure data security and patient-centric ethical practices with medical professionals in advisory and decision-making positions.
31. What leads to the author’s concerns about the role of AI in health care?
A The ability of AI to meet patients’ needs.
B The lack of doctors’ guidance in practice.
C. Doctors’ criticism of AI in their practices.
D. Patients’ complaints about the quality of their care.
32. What does the underlined word “blurs” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A. Confuses. B. Links. C. Marks. D. Balances.
33. It is implied in this passage that we should ________.
A. limit the development of AI in health care startups
B. encourage doctors to be equipped with AI technologies
C. hold a critical view towards innovation in the health care area
D. inform patients of the threat of AI technologies in health care businesses
34. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. How Is Innovation Advocating for Patients?
B. How Is Innovation Influencing People’s Lives?
C. How Are Some Health Care Startups Putting Patients at Risk?
D. How Are Some Health Care Startups Developing AI Technologies?
【答案】31. B 32. A 33. C 34. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。人工智能在医疗领域的应用引发了广泛的关注和讨论。医生、患者以及行业观察者都在探讨A1如何影响医疗服务的质量和费用。然而,真正的问题不在于机器学习的不确定性,而在于创新可能不受医生控制地引领变革。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But the reality is that the big bad wolf at the door of the health care industry isn’t the unknown of machine learning—it’s the very real threat of innovation leading the charge without doctors controlling the direction. (但现实情况是,医疗保健行业门口的大恶狼并不是机器学习的未知领域,而是在没有医生控制方向的情况下引领创新的真正威胁。)”可知,作者感到担忧是因为实践中缺乏医生的指导。故选B。
【32题详解】
词义猜测题。根据前文“Yet we’re seeing new business models grow at alarming rates without regard for ethical health care practices. (然而,我们看到新的商业模式正在以惊人的速度增长,而不考虑道德医疗实践。)”和后文“Investors and executives are putting themselves in positions of power without any strategic advising from an experienced medical provider. (投资者和高管们在没有经验丰富的医疗服务提供商提供任何战略建议的情况下,把自己放在了权力的位置上。)”可知,画线句表示:正是这种“不惜一切代价增长”的态度模糊了盈利能力和患者治疗结果之间的界限。bur的意思为“模糊”,blur和confuse意思相近,故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题,根据第五段的“The provider’s job is to advocate for the patient. This includes demanding transparency regarding data handling and security rules, challenging questionable marketing claims, and ensuring businesses prioritize evidence-based medicine and patient safety. (提供者的工作是为患者辩护。这包括要求数据处理和安全规则的透明度,质疑可疑的营销主张,并确保企业优先考虑循证医学和患者安全。)”可知,文章暗示我们应对医疗保健领域的创新持批判态度。故选C。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段的“Bu as health care startups(初创公司) attempt to reshape the delivery of patient care, major concerns have emerged regarding the prioritization of business interests over patient outcomes. (但是,当医疗保健初创公司试图重塑患者护理的交付方式时,主要的担忧已经出现,即商业利益优先于患者结果。)”并通读全文可知,文章主要讨论了医疗初创公司如何通过创新来重塑患者护理,但缺乏医疗提供者的参与,将患者置于危险之中。因此,文章的主旨是探讨一些医疗初创公司如何使患者处于危险之中,所以最好的标题是C选项“一些医疗初创公司如何使患者处于危险之中”。故选C。

第三部分 书面表达(共两节,32分)
第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分,第42题3分,第43题5分,共12分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
From young adulthood, our belief of what makes a good friendship changes very little, but our ability to maintain one does. It’s a poignant(令人心酸的) reality. We know what it means to be and have friends. But after we graduate from college and go our separate ways, we’re often unable to find the time and energy to maintain valuable friendships. Like anything else in life, if we want to remain friends with someone, it requires a little work.
According to psychologists, there are four basic behaviors necessary to maintain the bond. And they hold true whether we’re 17 or 70.
Communication promotes the first two essential behaviors: openness and supportiveness, both necessary for a close relationship. We must be willing to open up and share our lives with our friends, letting them know how we are doing. Similarly, we need to listen to them and offer support.
Interaction is the third essential in tending to a friendship. The specific activity doesn’t matter. The important thing is to interact. My best friend, Jane, goes back to school to earn her master’s in social work. She now deals with a large number of patients which takes up a lot of her time. We email and talk on our cell phones at whatever hour we can fit it in. And we do, always, make time to fit it in, which is how we stay good friends.
The last and most difficult behaviour necessary for keeping friends is being positive. While it is important to be open with our friends, we should not over-share our negative feelings. At the end of the day, a successful friendship must be enjoyable. The more we feel good about it, the more we’re willing to put in the energy it takes to keep it alive.
40. What are the first two essential behaviors to maintain a good friendship?
________________________________________________________________________________
41. How do Jane and the author interact with each other?
________________________________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
To keep a successful friendship, we should not express our negative feelings.
________________________________________________________________________________
43. Do you prefer to keep in touch with your friends online? Why or why not? (In about 40 words)
________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】40. Openness and supportiveness.
41. By emailing and talking on their cell phones.
42. To keep a successful friendship, we should not express our negative feelings. We should not over-share our negative feelings rather than not express them at all.
43. Yes, I prefer to keep in touch with my friends online. It's convenient and allows us to stay connected despite busy schedules. Plus, it's a great way to share updates and support each other from afar.
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章概述了心理学家推荐的四种维持友谊的基本行为:沟通(开放和支持)、互动和积极。作者强调,维持友谊需要努力,积极的互动和愿意分享而避免过度分享负面情绪是成功和愉快友谊的关键。
【40题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段“Communication promotes the first two essential behaviors: openness and supportiveness, both necessary for a close relationship. (沟通促进了前两种基本行为:开放和支持,这两者都是亲密关系所必需的。)”可知,维持良好友谊的前两个基本行为是开放和支持。故填Openness and supportiveness.

考查细节理解。根据第四段“We email and talk on our cell phones at whatever hour we can fit it in. (只要有时间,我们就发邮件、打电话。)”可知,作者和简通过发邮件、打电话来互动。故填By emailing and talking on their cell phones.
【42题详解】
考查推理判断。根据最后一段“While it is important to be open with our friends, we should not over-share our negative feelings. (虽然对朋友敞开心扉很重要,但我们不应该过度分享我们的负面情绪。)”可知我们不应该过度分享我们的负面情绪而不是完全不表达,题干中express错误,应改为over-share。故填To keep a successful friendship, we should not express our negative feelings. Because we should not over-share our negative feelings rather than not express them at all.
【43题详解】
开放回答题。根据题干要求结合自己实际情况作答即可。例如:是的,我更喜欢在网上和朋友保持联系。它很方便,让我们在繁忙的日程安排中保持联系。此外,这是一个很好的方式来分享更新和相互支持。故填Yes, I prefer to keep in touch with my friends online. It's convenient and allows us to stay connected despite busy schedules. Plus, it's a great way to share updates and support each other from afar.

【答案】Dear Jim,
I’m delighted to hear of your keen interest in Chinese cultural and entertainment performances. Allow me to introduce to you a unique and beloved art form that embodies the essence of Chinese culture: Peking Opera.
Peking Opera, also known as Beijing Opera, is a comprehensive performing art that integrates music, singing, dance, acrobatics, and acting. It originated in the late l8th century and has since evolved into a symbol of traditional Chinese culture. The costumes, facial makeup (known as “lianpu” in Chinese), and elaborate stage props all contribute to its striking visual appeal. Each character is meticulously designed to represent a specific personality or status, with the facial makeup patterns often conveying the character’s nature or fate.
Personally, Peking Opera holds a special place in my heart. It’s not just a form of entertainment but a window into China's rich history and profound cultural heritage. If you ever have the opportunity to attend a live performance, I highly recommend it. It’s an experience that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression.
Yours,
Li Hua
