However, my journey with computers began through my passion for music, using sound sampling systems, which catch the “sound reality” of an instrument, and also computer-assisted music composition systems. Little did I know that this exploration would greatly influence my approach to computer science and AI in the years to come. Self-taught in computer science during my architectural studies, I sought opportunities to specialize further. Ultimately, my journey led me to a pioneering laboratory in Marseille, France, known for its groundbreaking work in computer science applied to architecture. Surrounded by a community of innovators, I improved my skills to explore the transformative power of technology in preserving cultural heritage. In 2019, the world watched in horror as Notre Dame de Paris (巴黎圣母院) was consumed in flames. Determined to contribute to the restoration efforts, I took the lead in developing a digital ecosystem for the restoration operation. We developed groundbreaking AI tools generating 3D representations from photographs. By tracking the position and shape of voussoirs (拱石), and digitizing them from photographs, we were able to use the fine geometric information of the voussoirs to reconstruct the arch, thus giving valuable information to the architects about the structure, the exact geometry, and especially about constructive details of the oldest areas of the church from the 13th century. Notably, AI played a pivotal role in the process. As the restoration project progresses the AI-driven preservation continues to advance. This knowledge will definitely serve as raw material to be used for AI systems, for example, for studies that can be extended to other buildings. Today, the restoration project is in an extremely advanced state. We hope to complete the restoration work before the 2024 Paris Olympics, so that this architectural masterpiece can regain its former glory. 4. What led the author to computer science initially? A. Composing music with CAD. B. Exploring computers for music. C. Studying for a degree in architecture. D. Developing sound sampling systems. 5. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The application of AI in restoration. B. The structure of Notre Dame de Paris. C. The destruction of Notre Dame de Paris. D. The development of AI digital ecosystem. 6. What does the underlined word “pivotal” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Secondary. B. Independent. C. Discouraging. D. Crucial. 7. What is the author’s attitude towards the AI-driven preservation? A. Indifferent. B. Skeptical. C. Optimistic. D. Objective. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了作者在计算机科学领域的探索以及发现，说明了人工智能在修复文物中发挥的重要作用。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“However, my journey with computers began through my passion for music, using sound sampling systems, which catch the “sound reality” of an instrument, and also computer-assisted music composition systems.(然而，我的电脑之旅始于我对音乐的热爱，使用声音采样系统，捕捉乐器的“声音现实”，以及计算机辅助的音乐创作系统)”可知，最初是为音乐探索电脑引导作者进入计算机科学领域的。故选B。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“In 2019, the world watched in horror as Notre Dame de Paris (巴黎圣母院) was consumed in flames. Determined to contribute to the restoration efforts, I took the lead in developing a digital ecosystem for the restoration operation. We developed groundbreaking AI tools generating 3D representations from photographs. By tracking the position and shape of voussoirs (拱石), and digitizing them from photographs, we were able to use the fine geometric information of the voussoirs to reconstruct the arch, thus giving valuable information to the architects about the structure, the exact geometry, and especially about constructive details of the oldest areas of the church from the 13th century. Notably, AI played a pivotal role in the process.(2019年，全世界都惊恐地看到巴黎圣母院被大火吞噬。我决心为修复工作做出贡献，并带头为修复工作开发了一个数字生态系统。我们开发了突破性的人工智能工具，从照片中生成3D表示。通过跟踪拱石的位置和形状，并将它们从照片中数字化，我们能够拱石使用的精细几何信息来重建拱门，从而为建筑师提供有关结构，精确几何形状，特别是13世纪以来教堂最古老区域的构造细节的宝贵信息。值得注意的是，人工智能在这一过程中发挥了关键作用)”可知，第三段的主要内容是人工智能在修复中的应用。故选A。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“As the restoration project progresses, the AI-driven preservation continues to advance.(随着修复工程的推进，人工智能驱动的保护也在不断推进)”可知，随着修复工程的推进，人工智能驱动的保护也在不断推进，说明人工智能在这一过程中发挥了重要作用。故划线词意思是“重要的”。故选D。 7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“As the restoration project progresses, the AI-driven preservation continues to advance. This knowledge will definitely serve as raw material to be used for AI systems, for example, for studies that can be extended to other buildings. Today, the restoration project is in an extremely advanced state. We hope to complete the restoration work before the 2024 Paris Olympics, so that this architectural masterpiece can regain its former glory.(随着修复工程的推进，人工智能驱动的保护也在不断推进。这些知识肯定会作为人工智能系统的原材料，例如，用于可以扩展到其他建筑物的研究。今天，修复工程处于非常先进的状态。我们希望在2024年巴黎奥运会之前完成修复工作，让这座建筑杰作重现昔日的辉煌)”可知，作者对人工智能驱动保护持乐观态度。故选C。 C At one time, our growing population was seen as central to wildlife extinction, resource exhaustion, pollution and environmental destruction. But today, our concerns shift to declining birth rates due to increased reproductive choice for women. This is a positive development, but is often described as a “crisis” in the media, highlighting economic and senior care challenges. Lost in the conversation are the many positive aspects of an aging society, which is the result of people living healthier and longer lives, and common-sense realities like reduced needs for infrastructure (基础设施) and lower ecological impacts. Also lost is the fact that our population still grows by 80 million people every year. And the consequences of high birth rates are severe. Among them is global warming. In fact, increased emissions (排放) from population growth have canceled more than three quarters of the emissions saved through energy efficiency and renewables over the past three decades. Yet, no matter how well documented the link between population and climate, lowering our population is notably absent from the conversation on solutions. Instead, the focus is on technology that will supposedly allow our entire growing population to enjoy the energy-intensive lifestyles now enjoyed by the rich, and with no climate impacts. But “green” technology is not the solution it is advertised to be. Its expansion to the degree needed to power a growing population at a decent standard of living would itself require a shocking investment in fossil (化石) fuels. It also requires massive mining operations, many of which take place on the backs of low-wage workers in Africa where it is driving destruction of rainforests critical to the survival of great apes. Besides, it requires 10 times the land area as fossil fuel plants for the same amount of energy generated. When global warming threatens to push billions into unsafe temperatures, it is no time to panic that we are adding fewer to those billions. In fact, declining birth rates should be cause for celebration as they signify advances in gender equality and a reduced burden on Earth. 8. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. The global population is decreasing every year. B. The benefits of an aging society are overlooked. C. The ecological environment is turning for the better. D. The media make up misleading news about the population. 9. What is highlighted as a disadvantage of high birth rates? A. Reduced infrastructure needs. B. Challenges in senior care services. C. A slowdown in economic growth. D. Increased greenhouse gas emissions. 10. Why is “green” technology questioned in the text? A. It does damage to the ecosystem. B. It is not popular around the world. C. It is unaffordable for poor regions. D. It has little effect on reducing pollution. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Aging Societies: A Global Crisis B. The Mystery of “Green” Technology C. The Trend of Population Growth D. Declining Birth Rates: A Hopeful Sign 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是人口高出生率的危害以及出生率降低带来的积极影响。 8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“This is a positive development, but is often described as a “crisis” in the media, highlighting economic and senior care challenges.(这是一个积极的发展，但媒体经常将其描述为“危机”，强调经济和老年人护理方面的挑战。)”以及下文中介绍的人口老龄化带来的积极影响被人们忽略的事实可知，在第二段我们了解到的是老龄化社会的好处被人们忽略。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“And the consequences of high birth rates are severe. Among them is global warming.(高出生率的后果是严重的。其中之一就是全球变暖。)”以及下文中介绍的高出生率导致排放量增加的情况可知，高出来率的缺点是造成温室气体排放增加。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Its expansion to the degree needed to power a growing population at a decent standard of living would itself require a shocking investment in fossil (化石) fuels. It also requires massive mining operations, many of which take place on the backs of low-wage workers in Africa where it is driving destruction of rainforests critical to the survival of great apes.(它的扩张要达到为不断增长的人口提供体面生活所需的程度，本身就需要对化石燃料(化石)进行惊人的投资。它还需要大规模的采矿作业，其中许多是在非洲的低工资工人的支持下进行的，这正在破坏对类人猿生存至关重要的热带雨林。)”可知，“绿色”技术的扩张需要对化石燃料进行大量投资，大规模的采矿作业，破坏了对类人猿生存至关重要的热带雨林，由此可知，“绿色”技术被质疑的原因是它破坏了生态环境。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容及最后一段中“In fact, declining birth rates should be cause for celebration as they signify advances in gender equality and a reduced burden on Earth.(事实上，出生率下降应该是值得庆祝的，因为它们标志着性别平等的进步和地球负担的减轻)”可知，本文主要讨论了出生率下降的积极意义，所以D选项“出生率下降：一个充满希望的迹象”概括全文主题，适合作为最佳标题。故选D项。 D Millions of migratory (迁徙的) birds occupy seasonally favorable breeding grounds in the Arelie, but scientists know little about the formation, maintenance and future of the migration routes of Arctic birds and the genetic determinants of migratory distance. In a new study, a multinational team of researchers under the leadership of Dr. ZHAN Xiangjiang from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences integrated two state- of- the- art techniques — satellite tracking and whole genome sequencing (基因组测序) — and established a continental-scale migration system of peregrine falcons (游隼) in Eurasian Arctic. The researchers tracked 56 peregrine falcons from six Eurasian Arctic breeding populations and sequenced 35 genomes from four of these populations to study the migration of this species. They found that the birds used five migration routes across Eurasia, probably established between the last Ice Age 22,000 years ago and the middle-Holocene 6,000 years ago. “Peregrine falcons initiated their autumn migration mainly in September, and arrived at their wintering areas mainly in October,” said Professor Mike Bruford, an ecologist at Cardiff University. “Peregrine falcons that depart from different breeding grounds use different routes, and winter at widely distributed sites across four distinct regions. Individual birds that were tracked for more than one year exhibited strong path repeatability during migration, complete loyalty to wintering locations and limited breeding dispersal (扩散). ” The researchers quantified the migration strategies and found that migration distance is the most significant differentiation. They used whole genome sequencing and found a gene — ADCY8, which is known to be involved in long-term memory in other animals in previous research — associated with differences in migratory distance. They found ADCY8 had a variant (变体) at high frequency in long- distance migrant populations of peregrine falcons, indicating this variant is being favorably selected because it may increase powers of long- term memory thought to be essential for long- distance migration. “Previous studies have identified several candidate genomic regions that may regulate migration — but our work is the strongest demonstration of a specific gene associated with migratory behavior yet identified,” Professor Bruford said. The researchers further looked at models of likely future migration behavior to predict the impact of global warming. If the climate warms at the same rate as it has in recent decades, they predict peregrine populations in western Eurasia have the highest probability of population decline and may stop migrating altogether. “Our work is the first to begin to understand the way ecological factors may interact in migratory birds,” said Dr. ZHAN Xiangjiang. “We hope it will serve as a cornerstone to help conserve migratory species in the world” 12. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. Five birds’ migration routes were built 22, 000 years ago. B. Peregrine falcons stick to the areas where they winter. C. Peregrine falcons leave for Arctic regions in September. D. Two novel research methods of migration were invented. 13. What can we infer about ADCY8? A. It is a newly-discovered gene in the new study. B. It serves as a fundamental part of long- distance migration. C. It could be strengthened by the power of long- term memory. D. It turned out to be more favored by birds than the other animals. 14. What is special about the new study? A. It has discovered a new genomic region of birds. B. It has predicted the rate at which the climate warms. C. It analyses the reasons for the decrease of peregrine falcons. D. It encourages attention to environmental effects on migratory birds. 15. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. Researchers Help Conserve Migratory Species B. Biologists Find Evidence of Migration Gene in Birds C. How Long-term Memory Helps Long- distance Migration D. How Ecological Factors Affect Birds’ Migratory Distances 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的科学发现，研究表明，全球变暖对于长途迁徙的鸟类有很大的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Individual birds that were tracked for more than one year exhibited strong path repeatability during migration, complete loyalty to wintering locations and limited breeding dispersal(扩散).(追踪超过一年的单个鸟类在迁徙过程中表现出很强的路径重复性，对越冬地点完全忠诚，并限制繁殖扩散。)”可知，它们对自己的越冬地点非常专一。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“They found ADCY8 had a variant(变体) at high frequency in long- distance migrant populations of peregrine falcons, indicating this variant is being favorably selected because it may increase powers of long- term memory thought to be essential for long- distance migration.(他们发现ADCY8在长途迁徙的游隼种群中有一种高频率的变异，这表明这种变异被有利地选择了，因为它可能增加长期记忆的能力，这被认为是长途迁徙的必要条件。)”可推断，ADCY8是长途迁徙中必不可少的要素。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Our work is the first to begin to understand the way ecological factors may interact in migratory birds,” said Dr. ZHAN Xiangjiang. “We hope it will serve as a cornerstone to help conserve migratory species in the world””(詹湘江博士说:“我们的工作是第一次开始了解生态因素可能在候鸟中相互作用的方式。”“我们希望它能成为保护世界迁徙物种的基石。”)”可推断，该研究的特别之处是了解了生态因素对候鸟的影响，希望更多的人关注这一点。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“Previous studies have identified several candidate genomic regions that may regulate migration-but our work is the strongest demonstration of a specific gene associated with migratory behavior yet identified(以前的研究已经确定了几个可能调控迁移的候选基因组区域，但我们的工作是迄今为止与迁移行为相关的特定基因的最有力的证明。)”及全文可知，文章主要介绍了研究发现证实了鸟类身上存在的迁徙基因。所以“Biologists Find Evidence of Migration Gene in Birds(生物学家在鸟类身上发现迁徙基因的证据)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选B。 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。 Why are Police Officers Called Cops? Police officers are often referred to as cops. ____16____ Some argue the term is shortened from “copper” and comes from copper badges (徽章) worn by a policeman. Others say that it stands for “Constabulary of Police”. General agreement on the word origins of “cop”, however, suggests that the term is based more on the policeman’s job than on his clothing or job title. In Latin, the verb capere can be defined as “to capture.” In French, the verb is caper. “To cop” in English is to seize or to take. ____17____ Some also believe that the Dutch word kapen, which also loosely translates to “to steal or take”, is related to policemen being called coppers or cops. Essentially, the police force was there to take criminals off the streets. ____18____ And since American English especially draws from German, French, and Latin, the specific language origin of kapen or capere creates a ready path to the term “cop”. ____19____ And it is no longer considered rude. However, certain other terms for police officers are definitely unwelcome. While British Police might not mind being called “bobbies”, no police members like to be referred to as “pigs” or the “fuzz”. Some don’t mind the term the “heat” as applied to the whole police force, but the police force does not generally take kindly to terms given to them by criminals. The term “cop” is in such common usage now that a show documenting their work on the job is called Cops. Even though J. Edgar Hoover once highly objected to the term, it is now fine to refer to a policeman or a police woman as a cop. ____20____ A. The term is slightly less familiar to people. B. So, the Latin, Dutch, and French terms are all similar. C. These words define some of what a police officer does. D. The profession of a police officer was not respected then. E. But the origins of this nickname are something of a debate. F. However, the term “police officer” is generally most correct. G. Today it is appropriate to call members of the police force cops. 【答案】16. E 17. C 18. B 19. G 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了警察为什么被称为cops的由来。 【16题详解】 根据下文“Some argue the term is shortened from “copper” and comes from copper badges (徽章) worn by a policeman. Others say that it stands for “Constabulary of Police”.( 一些人认为这个词是“copper”的缩写，来自警察佩戴的铜徽章。也有人说它代表“警察总队”。)”可知，关于“cop”这个昵称的起源存在争议。因此推断E项“但这个绰号的起源却存在争议。”符合语境。故选E。 【17题详解】 根据上文“General agreement on the word origins of “cop”, however, suggests that the term is based more on the policeman’s job than on his clothing or job title. In Latin, the verb capere can be defined as “to capture.” In French, the verb is caper. “To cop” in English is to seize or to take.( 然而，关于“cop”一词起源的普遍共识表明，这个词更多地是基于警察的工作，而不是他的服装或头衔。在拉丁语中，动词capere可以被定义为“捕获”。在法语中，动词是caper。“To cop”在英语中的意思是抓住或拿走。)”可知，在不同的语言中有不同的词定义了警察的部分工作，因此推断C项“这些词定义了警察的部分工作”总结上文，these words指代前文的词汇。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Essentially, the police force was there to take criminals off the streets.( Some also believe that the Dutch word kapen, which also loosely translates to “to steal or take”, is related to policemen being called coppers or cops.（一些人还认为，荷兰语kapen也可以粗略地翻译为“偷窃或拿走”，与警察被称为coppers或cops有关。从本质上讲，警察的存在是为了把罪犯赶出街头。)”和下文“And since American English especially draws from German, French, and Latin, the specific language origin of kapen or capere creates a ready path to the term “cop”.(由于美式英语主要来源于德语、法语和拉丁语，kapen或capere的特定语言来源为“cop”一词创造了一条现成的路径。)”可知，荷兰语kapen可以粗略地翻译为“偷窃或拿走”，与警察被称为coppers或cops有关，美式英语来自德语，法语和拉丁语，因此推断B项“荷兰语和法语的术语都很相似”承上启下。故选B。 【19题详解】 根据下文“And it is no longer considered rude.(它不再被认为是粗鲁的。)”可知，现在称警察为cops不粗鲁，是合适的。因此推断G项“今天，把警察称为cop是恰当的。”符合语境，下文是对此的详细解释。故选G。 【20题详解】 根据上文“The term “cop” is in such common usage now that a show documenting their work on the job is called Cops. Even though J. Edgar Hoover once highly objected to the term, it is now fine to refer to a policeman or a police woman as a cop.(“cop”这个词现在被如此普遍地使用，以至于一个记录他们工作的节目被称为“Cops”。尽管J·埃德加·胡佛曾经强烈反对这个词，但现在把警察或女警察称为cop是可以的。)”可知，现在称呼a policeman或者 a police woman是最好的，与前一段是转折关系，因此推断F项“然而，“police officer”这个术语通常是最正确的”。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A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Here I was, sitting in the roller coaster (过山车) cart of Kingda Ka in New Jersey, the tallest and second fastest roller coaster on Earth. My friends shouted in excitement, while I shakily ___21___ my hands on my shorts. “How can you be so excited when...” My words caught in my throat and melted into screams as the roller coaster suddenly ___22___ forward. It was the fastest ___23___ I had ever experienced in my life: 128 miles per hour. I screamed at the top of my ___24___ as fear froze me up from inside. We rapidly moved up the skinny hump (驼峰) rising into the clouds at a ninety degree angle, having crossed the track bringing us forward in mere ___25___. ___26___, close to the highest part of the hump, I ___27___ a little. My screams became less terrified and more energetic. Once we reached the ___28___ of the hump, I could almost touch the sky. And then we were spiraling (盘旋) downwards, curving and twisting and ___29___ towards Earth at the same speed. ____30____ I realized it, we had already met the ground. It was a thirty-second-long ride. I managed to ____31____ the entire ride without a breakdown. I gasped in surprise. It was over. I had not only survived the ride—I had ____32____ it. My friend turned to me, her eyes ____33____. “Are you ready for the next roller coaster?” My head felt light as we walked away from the ride spinning with something I didn’t ____34____ recognize. It took me a few minutes to put a name to it — thrill. “I’m ready for anything.” Until today, that ____35____ ride that I went on 20 years ago is still kept alive in my memory. 21.

I am writing to express my complaint about the mistakes in your book introducing the cultural relics in your museum. It comes as a shock that some obvious errors in the introduction of Chinese artifacts are found in the book. The symbolic significance differs between Chinese and western dragons but there exists misinterpretation in a Chinese painting. Worse still, the authors and dates marked on some artifacts are at odds with the facts, which will definitely ruin the reputation of your museum. It is preferable to organize experts to review this book and remove the books with incorrect introduction. I hope you can take my appeal into consideration. Looking forward to your favorable reply. Yours sincerely, Li Hua Possible Version 2 Dear Sir or Madam, My name is Li Hua, and I am writing to bring to your attention certain inaccuracies I discovered in a book about your artifact collection, which I purchased during my recent visit to your museum. There are several incorrect descriptions concerning Chinese artifacts in the book. The jade teapot is actually from the Han Dynasty, contrary to what was stated in the book as a modern handicraft. Besides, the violet silk gown, mistakenly identified as a royal Japanese dress, is in fact a traditional Chinese Hanfu. To clarify these issues, I recommend consulting with specialists for a comprehensive review. It would be beneficial if the publishers could arrange a recall of the current edition for necessary updates. I believe these actions would uphold/ maintain/ preserve the authenticity/ credibility of the book’s content. Your prompt resolution would be highly appreciated.

Tommy was running as fast as he could, focused on nothing but his destination----the shop on the street corner. Two weeks ago he saw figurines(小塑像) of Marvel superheroes on the shelves and felt he had to have one. He’s been walking the neighbor’s dog ever since then to earn money to fulfil his little dream. He was so excited and barely noticing the world around him. Maybe that’s why he tripped over the legs of a homeless woman, who was sitting on the pavement, her back against the wall. He murmured(低语) "sorry" and moved on to his destination. Once he entered the shop, he went straight to the shelves with figurines. Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, and many more----all of his admired heroes. With his heart pounding like crazy he reached for Spiderman. “You like these, true believer?” Tommy turned around. An old man was standing behind him with a wide smile on his face. “Y-yes, …Yes, they’re awesome!” answered Tommy. “They’re strong and fast and help other people a lot ...”the boy looked at figurines in admiration. “I wish I could be a superhero too.” “Then become one!” said the old man. “How?” Tommy asked in surprise. “I don’t have any superpowers.” “And why would you need them?” the old man smiled. Seeing the confusion on the boy's face, he squatted(蹲下) and put his hands on Tommy's arms. “Did you know that shopkeeper lady over there has a disabled husband? She’s been working hard and taking care of him for years. I’ve never heard a word of complaint from her. And this person ---” he pointed at a redhead man, who just entered the shop. “He’s a firefighter; he’s saved countless lives. He never gives up, no matter how dangerous the situation seems to be.” The old man looked Tommy in the eyes and smiled. “You don’t need a superpower to be a hero for someone else. The path of a superhero starts not in the mind, not in the muscles, but in the heart.” 注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Tommy lowered his head and looked at his shoes thinking intensely. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The homeless woman was right there, where he saw her last time. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Tommy lowered his head and looked at his shoes thinking intensely. Finally he raised his head. "So I am supposed to...” he stopped mid-sentence when he realized that he was alone. He turned his head left and right, but the old man was nowhere to be seen. His eyes lit up---- he already had an idea of what he should do. He looked at figurines for the last time and moved towards the counter. "Two sandwiches and a cup of tea please, "he said, and then returned, food in hand. The homeless woman was right there, where he saw her last time. Tommy came closer and carefully gave the woman his buys. Her eyes opened wide in surprise, then filled with tears. “Thank you," she whispered. Tommy bowed his head, turned around and went back home. He was moving faster and faster and finally he started to run. Strange energy filling his body made him feel like he could fly. When he finally stopped, he was breathing heavily, but he didn’t feel tired. He smiled happily --- it was a wonderful feeling. And nothing could stop it. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了汤米想成为超级英雄，在一个老人的开导下他学会了用自己的行动去帮助他人的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“汤米低下头，看着自己的鞋子，冥思苦想。”可知，第一段可描写汤米懂得了真正超级英雄的含义。 ②由第二段首句内容“那个无家可归的女人就在那里，他最后一次见到她的地方。”可知，第二段可描写汤米帮助了那个女人。 2.续写线索：领悟——帮助——感谢——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.开始：start/begin/commence ②.充满：be filled with/be full of 情绪类 ①.感谢：Thank for/show one’s appreciation/show one’s gratitude/be grateful ②.积极：positive attitude/act positively 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B I received my architectural training in Italy, earning a traditional degree that didn’t involve working with Computer-Aided Design (CAD). However, my journey with computers began through my passion for music, using sound sampling systems, which catch the “sound reality” of an instrument, and also computer-assisted music composition systems. Little did I know that this exploration would greatly influence my approach to computer science and AI in the years to come. Self-taught in computer science during my architectural studies, I sought opportunities to specialize further. Ultimately, my journey led me to a pioneering laboratory in Marseille, France, known for its groundbreaking work in computer science applied to architecture. Surrounded by a community of innovators, I improved my skills to explore the transformative power of technology in preserving cultural heritage. In 2019, the world watched in horror as Notre Dame de Paris (巴黎圣母院) was consumed in flames. Determined to contribute to the restoration efforts, I took the lead in developing a digital ecosystem for the restoration operation. We developed groundbreaking AI tools generating 3D representations from photographs. By tracking the position and shape of voussoirs (拱石), and digitizing them from photographs, we were able to use the fine geometric information of the voussoirs to reconstruct the arch, thus giving valuable information to the architects about the structure, the exact geometry, and especially about constructive details of the oldest areas of the church from the 13th century. Notably, AI played a pivotal role in the process. As the restoration project progresses, the AI-driven preservation continues to advance. This knowledge will definitely serve as raw material to be used for AI systems, for example, for studies that can be extended to other buildings. Today, the restoration project is in an extremely advanced state. We hope to complete the restoration work before the 2024 Paris Olympics, so that this architectural masterpiece can regain its former glory. 4. What led the author to computer science initially? A. Composing music with CAD. B. Exploring computers for music. C. Studying for a degree in architecture. D. Developing sound sampling systems. 5. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The application of AI in restoration. B. The structure of Notre Dame de Paris. C. The destruction of Notre Dame de Paris. D. The development of AI digital ecosystem. 6. What does the underlined word “pivotal” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Secondary. B. Independent. C. Discouraging. D. Crucial. 7. What is the author’s attitude towards the AI-driven preservation? A. Indifferent. B. Skeptical. C. Optimistic. D. Objective. C At one time, our growing population was seen as central to wildlife extinction, resource exhaustion, pollution and environmental destruction. But today, our concerns shift to declining birth rates due to increased reproductive choice for women. This is a positive development, but is often described as a “crisis” in the media, highlighting economic and senior care challenges. Lost in the conversation are the many positive aspects of an aging society, which is the result of people living healthier and longer lives, and common-sense realities like reduced needs for infrastructure (基础设施) and lower ecological impacts. Also lost is the fact that our population still grows by 80 million people every year. And the consequences of high birth rates are severe. Among them is global warming. In fact, increased emissions (排放) from population growth have canceled more than three quarters of the emissions saved through energy efficiency and renewables over the past three decades. Yet, no matter how well documented the link between population and climate, lowering our population is notably absent from the conversation on solutions. Instead, the focus is on technology that will supposedly allow our entire growing population to enjoy the energy-intensive lifestyles now enjoyed by the rich, and with no climate impacts. But “green” technology is not the solution it is advertised to be. Its expansion to the degree needed to power a growing population at a decent standard of living would itself require a shocking investment in fossil (化石) fuels. It also requires massive mining operations, many of which take place on the backs of low-wage workers in Africa where it is driving destruction of rainforests critical to the survival of great apes. Besides, it requires 10 times the land area as fossil fuel plants for the same amount of energy generated. When global warming threatens to push billions into unsafe temperatures, it is no time to panic that we are adding fewer to those billions. In fact, declining birth rates should be cause for celebration as they signify advances in gender equality and a reduced burden on Earth. 8. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. The global population is decreasing every year. B. The benefits of an aging society are overlooked. C. The ecological environment is turning for the better. D. The media make up misleading news about the population. 9. What is highlighted as a disadvantage of high birth rates? A. Reduced infrastructure needs. B. Challenges in senior care services. C. A slowdown in economic growth. D. Increased greenhouse gas emissions. 10. Why is “green” technology questioned in the text? A. It does damage to the ecosystem. B. It is not popular around the world. C. It is unaffordable for poor regions. D. It has little effect on reducing pollution. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Aging Societies: A Global Crisis B. The Mystery of “Green” Technology C. The Trend of Population Growth D. Declining Birth Rates: A Hopeful Sign D Millions of migratory (迁徙) birds occupy seasonally favorable breeding grounds in the Arelie, but scientists know little about the formation, maintenance and future of the migration routes of Arctic birds and the genetic determinants of migratory distance. In a new study, a multinational team of researchers under the leadership of Dr. ZHAN Xiangjiang from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences integrated two state- of- the- art techniques — satellite tracking and whole genome sequencing (基因组测序) — and established a continental-scale migration system of peregrine falcons (游隼) in Eurasian Arctic. The researchers tracked 56 peregrine falcons from six Eurasian Arctic breeding populations and sequenced 35 genomes from four of these populations to study the migration of this species. They found that the birds used five migration routes across Eurasia, probably established between the last Ice Age 22,000 years ago and the middle-Holocene 6,000 years ago. “Peregrine falcons initiated their autumn migration mainly in September, and arrived at their wintering areas mainly in October,” said Professor Mike Bruford, an ecologist at Cardiff University. “Peregrine falcons that depart from different breeding grounds use different routes, and winter at widely distributed sites across four distinct regions. Individual birds that were tracked for more than one year exhibited strong path repeatability during migration, complete loyalty to wintering locations and limited breeding dispersal (扩散). ” The researchers quantified the migration strategies and found that migration distance is the most significant differentiation. They used whole genome sequencing and found a gene — ADCY8, which is known to be involved in long-term memory in other animals in previous research — associated with differences in migratory distance. They found ADCY8 had a variant (变体) at high frequency in long- distance migrant populations of peregrine falcons, indicating this variant is being favorably selected because it may increase powers of long- term memory thought to be essential for long- distance migration. “Previous studies have identified several candidate genomic regions that may regulate migration — but our work is the strongest demonstration of a specific gene associated with migratory behavior yet identified,” Professor Bruford said. The researchers further looked at models of likely future migration behavior to predict the impact of global warming. If the climate warms at the same rate as it has in recent decades, they predict peregrine populations in western Eurasia have the highest probability of population decline and may stop migrating altogether. “Our work is the first to begin to understand the way ecological factors may interact in migratory birds,” said Dr. ZHAN Xiangjiang. “We hope it will serve as a cornerstone to help conserve migratory species in the world” 12.

It is a newly-discovered gene in the new study. B. It serves as a fundamental part of long- distance migration. C. It could be strengthened by the power of long- term memory. D. It turned out to be more favored by birds than the other animals. 14. What is special about the new study? A. It has discovered a new genomic region of birds. B. It has predicted the rate at which the climate warms. C. It analyses the reasons for the decrease of peregrine falcons. D. It encourages attention to environmental effects on migratory birds. 15.

How Ecological Factors Affect Birds’ Migratory Distances 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。 Why are Police Officers Called Cops? Police officers are often referred to as cops. ____16____ Some argue the term is shortened from “copper” and comes from copper badges (徽章) worn by a policeman. Others say that it stands for “Constabulary of Police”. General agreement on the word origins of “cop”, however, suggests that the term is based more on the policeman’s job than on his clothing or job title. In Latin, the verb capere can be defined as “to capture.” In French, the verb is caper. “To cop” in English is to seize or to take. ____17____ Some also believe that the Dutch word kapen, which also loosely translates to “to steal or take”, is related to policemen being called coppers or cops. Essentially, the police force was there to take criminals off the streets. ____18____ And since American English especially draws from German, French, and Latin, the specific language origin of kapen or capere creates a ready path to the term “cop”. ____19____ And it is no longer considered rude. However, certain other terms for police officers are definitely unwelcome. While British Police might not mind being called “bobbies”, no police members like to be referred to as “pigs” or the “fuzz”. Some don’t mind the term the “heat” as applied to the whole police force, but the police force does not generally take kindly to terms given to them by criminals. The term “cop” is in such common usage now that a show documenting their work on the job is called Cops. Even though J. Edgar Hoover once highly objected to the term it is now fine to refer to a policeman or a police woman as a cop. ____20____ A. The term is slightly less familiar to people. B. So, the Latin, Dutch, and French terms are all similar. C. These words define some of what a police officer does. D. The profession of a police officer was not respected then. E. But the origins of this nickname are something of a debate. F. However, the term “police officer” is generally most correct. G. Today it is appropriate to call members of the police force cops. 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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Here I was, sitting in the roller coaster (过山车) cart of Kingda Ka in New Jersey, the tallest and second fastest roller coaster on Earth.

Tommy was running as fast as he could, focused on nothing but his destination----the shop on the street corner. Two weeks ago he saw figurines(小塑像) of Marvel superheroes on the shelves and felt he had to have one. He’s been walking the neighbor’s dog ever since then to earn money to fulfil his little dream. He was so excited and barely noticing the world around him. Maybe that’s why he tripped over the legs of a homeless woman, who was sitting on the pavement, her back against the wall. He murmured(低语) "sorry" and moved on to his destination. Once he entered the shop, he went straight to the shelves with figurines. Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, and many more----all of his admired heroes. With his heart pounding like crazy he reached for Spiderman. “You like these, true believer?” Tommy turned around. An old man was standing behind him with a wide smile on his face. “Y-yes, …Yes, they’re awesome!” answered Tommy. “They’re strong and fast and help other people a lot ...”the boy looked at figurines in admiration. “I wish I could be a superhero too.” “Then become one!” said the old man. “How?” Tommy asked in surprise. “I don’t have any superpowers.” “And why would you need them?” the old man smiled. Seeing the confusion on the boy's face, he squatted(蹲下) and put his hands on Tommy's arms. “Did you know that shopkeeper lady over there has a disabled husband? She’s been working hard and taking care of him for years. I’ve never heard a word of complaint from her. And this person ---” he pointed at a redhead man, who just entered the shop. “He’s a firefighter; he’s saved countless lives. He never gives up, no matter how dangerous the situation seems to be.” The old man looked Tommy in the eyes and smiled. “You don’t need a superpower to be a hero for someone else. The path of a superhero starts not in the mind, not in the muscles, but in the heart.” 注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式相应位置作答。 Tommy lowered his head and looked at his shoes thinking intensely. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The homeless woman was right there, where he saw her last time. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-5 CABCB 6-10 ABCAB 11-15 CCBAA 16-20 BCBBA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
