I joined the team when I was a freshman at Abraham Lincoln High School. I hadn’t considered it until a girl came up to me and said, “You look like a good runner. Would you like to join the track team?” She thought I would make a good runner because she saw my legs and arms were built, but I was just naturally slim. I was excited and surprised, “I don’t know. What do I have to do?” “It is a lot of hard work and devotion. It’s not easy.” She was right. My team had practice every day from 3:30 to 6 except for Fridays. When we didn’t have practice, I’d run on my own on the boardwalk. I got faster and focused. Track helped me get away from troubles. Arguments with my mom, problems with schoolwork, and dramas with the kids at school. I felt calm every time I ran. I got to the Armory at 7. My team was already there. We gave each other hugs and high fives. When the officials called for the relay race, I went out to the starting line. Then the gun went off. As I pounded the track, I was focusing so much on myself. I started running away from my problems. I couldn’t see anyone or anything but the finish line. Everything else was just a blur. I fought to the finish line. I wasn’t only fighting against the other teams; I was also fighting to win my battle against my stress. I could feel the wind blowing against my skin. I felt like I was flying. My stress disappeared. I came in second as I passed the baton (接力棒) to my teammate. 24. Why did the author take up running? A. By chance. B. Due to stress. C. Out of interest. D. For weight loss. 25.

Would you like to join the track team?” She thought I would make a good runner because she saw my legs and arms were built, but I was just naturally slim.(直到一个女孩走到我面前对我说：“你看起来像一个优秀的跑步者。你想加入田径队吗？”她认为我会成为一名优秀的跑步者，因为她看到我的腿和胳膊都很结实，但我只是天生苗条)”可知，作者开始跑步是因为偶然。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Track helped me get away from troubles. Arguments with my mom, problems with schoolwork, and dramas with the kids at school.

The history of blonde chocolate can date back to the year 2004 when French chef Frederic Bau was busy showing off his skills during an exhibition in Japan. He was so absorbed in his show that he left his white chocolate melting in a bain-marie (蒸锅) for four days. When he finally got back to it, the chocolate had become pale brown and had a very special smell and taste. Frederic quickly came to realize the potential of his discovery, and blonde chocolate was born. He knew he was on his way to something when he tasted blonde chocolate for the first time. However, because the treat was technically the result of an accident, there was no way to produce the result again, at least not immediately. The French chef spent the next seven years experimenting and perfecting the process, to make sure that he produced the best blonde chocolate every time. Since 2012, blonde chocolate has been sold by French chocolater Vlrhona under the name Dulcey, but even though it has made quite an impression on the experts in the years since, blonde chocolate is still not a mainstream (主流的) dessert. That is mainly because French lawmakers refuse to recognize the sweet treat as a fourth type of chocolate. Instead, they recognize it a variation of white chocolate. Blonde chocolate shares a similar story with another unique dessert, Ruby chocolate, the naturally pink chocolate made with Ruby cocoa beans. In 2017, it was called “the biggest innovation in chocolate in 80 years”. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the future of blonde chocolate. 28. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about? A. The origin of blonde chocolate. B. The design of blonde chocolate. C. The importance of blonde chocolate. D. The process of making blonde chocolate. 29. Why do people seldom choose blonde chocolate as a mainstream dessert? A. It is refused by most of French experts. B. It is not as delicious as other sweet treat. C. It is not warmly welcomed by young people. D. It is recognized as a variation of white chocolate. 30. Why does the author mention Ruby chocolate in the last paragraph? A. To present the misfortune of Ruby chocolate. B. To doubt a growing concern about chocolate. C. To show a promising future of blonde chocolate. D. To criticize public attitude towards blonde chocolate. 31. What might be a suitable title for the text? A. People’s Thoughts towards Blonde Chocolate B. Blonde Chocolate, Another Type of Sweet Dessert C. The Uncommon Development of Blonde Chocolate D. Blonde Chocolate, a Delicious Treat Created by Mistake 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了金黄色巧克力的起源、发展历史和前景。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The history of blonde chocolate can date back to the year 2004 when French chef Frederic Bau was busy showing off his skills during an exhibition in Japan. He was so absorbed in his show that he left his white chocolate melting in a bain-marie (蒸锅) for four days. When he finally got back to it, the chocolate had become pale brown and had a very special smell and taste. Frederic quickly came to realize the potential of his discovery, and blonde chocolate was born.(金黄巧克力的历史可以追溯到2004年，当时法国厨师Frederic Bau在日本的一次展览上忙于炫耀自己的技术。他全神贯注于自己的表演，以至于把白巧克力放在蒸锅里融化了四天。当他终于想到巧克力时，巧克力已经变成了浅棕色，有一种非常特殊的气味和味道。Frederic很快意识到了这一发现的潜力，于是金黄色巧克力诞生了)”可知，本段主要介绍了金黄色巧克力的起源。故选A项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“...but even though it has made quite an impression on the experts in the years since, blonde chocolate is still not a mainstream (主流的) dessert. That is mainly because French lawmakers refuse to recognize the sweet treat as a fourth type of chocolate. Instead, they recognize it a variation of white chocolate.(……但是，尽管多年来它给专家们留下了相当深刻的印象，但金色巧克力仍然不是主流甜点。这主要是因为法国立法者拒绝承认这种甜食是第四种巧克力类型。相反，他们认为它是白巧克力的变种)”可知，人们很少选择金黄巧克力作为主流甜点，是因为法国官方认为金黄巧克力并不属于第四种巧克力类型，而是白巧克力的变种。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Blonde chocolate shares a similar story with another unique dessert, Ruby chocolate, the naturally pink chocolate made with Ruby cocoa beans. In 2017, it was called “the biggest innovation in chocolate in 80 years”. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the future of blonde chocolate.(金黄巧克力与另一种独特的甜点红宝石巧克力有着相似的故事，红宝石巧克力是一种用红宝石可可豆制成的天然粉色巧克力。2017年，它被称为“80年来巧克力领域最大的创新”。因此，没有必要担心金黄巧克力的未来)”可推知，作者提到红宝石巧克力，是想说明金黄色巧克力也会有同样的有希望的发展前景。故选C项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Blonde chocolate is not as popular as milk, dark, and white chocolate, but it has already been known as one of the most wonderful variations (变种) of white chocolate ever created.(金黄巧克力不像牛奶、黑巧克力和白巧克力那样受欢迎，但它已经被认为是有史以来最美妙的白巧克力变体之一)”以及第二段“The history of blonde chocolate can date back to the year 2004 when French chef Frederic Bau was busy showing off his skills during an exhibition in Japan. He was so absorbed in his show that he left his white chocolate melting in a bain-marie (蒸锅) for four days. When he finally got back to it, the chocolate had become pale brown and had a very special smell and taste. Frederic quickly came to realize the potential of his discovery, and blonde chocolate was born.(金黄巧克力的历史可以追溯到2004年，当时法国厨师Frederic Bau在日本的一次展览上忙于炫耀自己的技术。他全神贯注于自己的表演，以至于把白巧克力放在蒸锅里融化了四天。当他终于想到巧克力时，巧克力已经变成了浅棕色，有一种非常特殊的气味和味道。Frederic很快意识到了这一发现的潜力，于是金黄巧克力诞生了)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了法国厨师因为意外制作的美味的金黄巧克力，从此金黄巧克力受到人们的青睐，所以“金黄巧克力，一种错误创造的美味”适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 D Ten years ago, the science fiction series Black Mirror showed a story about using artificial intelligence (人工智能) to bring back loved ones. Thanks to technological advancement, the latest AI technology brings back loved ones through virtual form. Recently, it was reported that famous musician Tino Bao had created a digital version of his daughter, who passed away in 2021 due to a rare disease at the age of 22. With the help of AI, Bao was able to recreate his late daughter Bao Rong as a virtual figure. Tino Bao, his family and the team tried to piece together pictures, videos and memories of Rong. After thousands of trials and errors, they presented the life-like digital human who speaks in both Chinese and English. Bao finally set up a company to bring the technological miracle to other families experiencing such loss. However, every coin has two sides. The idea of bringing back a loved one through AI may seem comforting. Still, researchers warn that constantly interacting with an AI version of a deceased (已故的) loved one could lead to lasting sadness and other mental health problems. After the case of Bao Rong, AI resurrection (复活) has become a business. Some people use it to commit crimes or make profits. Therefore, it is important for the government to make laws to make sure the use of AI resurrection technology is safe and responsible. 32. How does AI bring back loved ones? A. By taking pictures. B. By building a system. C. By creating virtual form. D. By playing recordings. 33. Why did Bao set up a company? A. To earn money and fame. B. To show his interest in AI. C.

What should the government do? A. Stop people from using the technology. B. Apply the technology as soon as possible. C. Strengthen the management of the technology. D. Educate the public about the dangers of the technology. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人工智能通过虚拟形式把已故的亲人复活，并阐述了不同人对这一现象的不同看法。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Thanks to technological advancement, the latest AI technology brings back loved ones through virtual form. (由于技术的进步，最新的人工智能技术通过虚拟形式带回了亲人。)”可知，人工智能通过创建虚拟形式把亲人带回来，故选C项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Bao finally set up a company to bring the technological miracle to other families experiencing such loss. (最后，鲍成立了一家公司，将技术奇迹带给其他遭受这种损失的家庭。)”可知，他成立公司是为了将技术奇迹带给其他家庭，故选D项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Still, researchers warn that constantly interacting with an AI version of a deceased (已故的) loved one could lead to lasting sadness and other mental health problems. (尽管如此，研究人员警告说，不断与已故亲人的人工智能版本互动可能会导致持久的悲伤和其他心理健康问题。)”可知，研究人员对人工智能复活已故亲人持否定态度，故选A项 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Therefore, it is important for the government to make laws to make sure the use of AI resurrection technology is safe and responsible. (因此，政府必须制定法律，确保人工智能复活技术的使用是安全和负责任的。)”可知，政府应该加强技术监管，故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If staying optimistic (乐观) is something you struggle with, you`re certainly not alone.

No skateboarding or leaving the house no matter what!” Dio was unhappy at it upon hearing his parents repeat his punishment. He was so disobedient (不听话) that he had been forced to stay home while his parents went to work. Dio looked through the pages of his book mindlessly. He would usually ride on his skateboard when he was free but his parents had kept it hidden from him. Dio’s mind was fixed on the skateboard. Just then, an idea came to his mind. He rose from his bed and thought “They must have kept the skateboard somewhere in the attic (阁楼). They have always forbidden me from going up there!” He could not bear the boredom of being at home so he decided to disobey his parents. Dio took a chair and placed it in front of the attic. After numerous attempts, he managed to climb up into it. Taking his phone from his pocket and turning on the flashlight, he searched for the skateboard until he found it. He jumped down, ran back into his room, locked his door, set up a decoy (替身) to take his place and together with his skateboard, jumped over the wall. He rushed out of the house without thinking twice. Without any safety equipment, Dio was on his way. Dio rode on his skateboard feeling the soft wind kissing his skin. He started skating towards the local park near their house. Dio was on the top of the world. Suddenly, a little kid appeared on his path. Dio knew that he could not stop the skateboard in time to avoid the kid. He was skating at a high speed and drops of sweat formed on his forehead. With his face as pale as a sheet, he knocked on a rock and was sent flying into the air. It all happened so quickly. He prepared for the crash as he closed his eyes. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 He landed on the ground heavily and heard his parents calling out to him. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dio woke up in the hospital to the sound of crying. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】He landed on the ground heavily and heard his parents calling out to him. His heart raced as he realized he had made a grave mistake. He had ignored their warnings and now he was paying the price. Dio winced in pain as he tried to stand up, his skateboard lying nearby. He knew that he had to face the consequences of his actions. With a heavy sigh, he slowly made his way back to the house, his body aching and his ego shattered. Dio woke up in the hospital to the sound of crying. His parents’ faces were etched with worry and guilt. He could see the regret in their eyes, knowing that they had been right all along. Dio realized that his actions had not only put himself in danger but had also caused his parents immense pain. He vowed to himself that he would never again disobey their rules and would learn from this costly mistake. As he held his parents’ hands, Dio knew that the road to recovery would be tough, but he was ready to face it, skateboarding or not. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了一个名叫Dio的男孩，因为不听话而被父母惩罚，不得骑滑板车和离开家。Dio十分想念他的滑板车，最终决定违反父母的规定，去阁楼找滑板车。他成功找到滑板车后，偷偷溜出家门，但在滑板过程中发生了意外，导致他受伤被送往医院。在医院中，Dio意识到自己的错误，承诺不再违反父母的规定。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他重重地落在地上，听到父母在叫他。”可知，第一段可描写Dio重重的摔在地上同时意识到自己的错误，并且最终失去意识直至昏倒。 ②由第二段首句内容“Dio在医院里被哭声惊醒。”可知，第二段可描写在医院中Dio父母的情绪以及Dio对自己的自责，以及从这起事故中的个人感悟与收获。 2.续写线索： 摔倒在地——尝试站起来——直至失去意识——送至医院——父母伤心与难过——Dio个人感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①明白到：realize/understand ②.忽视：ignore/neglect ③.面对：face/confront 情绪类 ①.担忧：worry/anxiety ②.内疚：guilt/ compunction 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B On a Saturday morning last November, I got up at 5 to be at the Armory track on 168th Street in Harlem, a neighborhood in Manhattan for the girls’4×2 relay race (接力赛). I joined the team when I was a freshman at Abraham Lincoln High School. I hadn’t considered it until a girl came up to me and said, “You look like a good runner. Would you like to join the track team?” She thought I would make a good runner because she saw my legs and arms were built, but I was just naturally slim. I was excited and surprised, “I don’t know. What do I have to do?” “It is a lot of hard work and devotion. It’s not easy.” She was right. My team had practice every day from 3:30 to 6 except for Fridays. When we didn’t have practice I’d run on my own on the boardwalk. I got faster and focused. Track helped me get away from troubles. Arguments with my mom, problems with schoolwork, and dramas with the kids at school. I felt calm every time I ran. I got to the Armory at 7. My team was already there. We gave each other hugs and high fives. When the officials called for the relay race, I went out to the starting line. Then the gun went off. As I pounded the track, I was focusing so much on myself. I started running away from my problems. I couldn’t see anyone or anything but the finish line. Everything else was just a blur. I fought to the finish line. I wasn’t only fighting against the other teams; I was also fighting to win my battle against my stress. I could feel the wind blowing against my skin. I felt like I was flying. My stress disappeared. I came in second as I passed the baton (接力棒) to my teammate. 24. Why did the author take up running? A. By chance. B. Due to stress. C. Out of interest. D. For weight loss. 25.

B. Challenges build character. C. Talent is the key to success. D. Accidents can lead to the right path. C Blonde chocolate is not as popular as milk, dark, and white chocolate, but it has already been known as one of the most wonderful variations (变种) of white chocolate ever created. The history of blonde chocolate can date back to the year 2004 when French chef Frederic Bau was busy showing off his skills during an exhibition in Japan. He was so absorbed in his show that he left his white chocolate melting in a bain-marie (蒸锅) for four days. When he finally got back to it, the chocolate had become pale brown and had a very special smell and taste. Frederic quickly came to realize the potential of his discovery, and blonde chocolate was born. He knew he was on his way to something when he tasted blonde chocolate for the first time. However, because the treat was technically the result of an accident, there was no way to produce the result again, at least not immediately. The French chef spent the next seven years experimenting and perfecting the process, to make sure that he produced the best blonde chocolate every time. Since 2012, blonde chocolate has been sold by French chocolater Vlrhona under the name Dulcey, but even though it has made quite an impression on the experts in the years since, blonde chocolate is still not a mainstream (主流的) dessert. That is mainly because French lawmakers refuse to recognize the sweet treat as a fourth type of chocolate. Instead, they recognize it a variation of white chocolate. Blonde chocolate shares a similar story with another unique dessert, Ruby chocolate, the naturally pink chocolate made with Ruby cocoa beans. In 2017, it was called “the biggest innovation in chocolate in 80 years”. Therefore, there is no need to worry about the future of blonde chocolate. 28. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about? A The origin of blonde chocolate. B. The design of blonde chocolate. C. The importance of blonde chocolate. D. The process of making blonde chocolate. 29. Why do people seldom choose blonde chocolate as a mainstream dessert? A. It is refused by most of French experts. B. It is not as delicious as other sweet treat. C. It is not warmly welcomed by young people. D. It is recognized as a variation of white chocolate. 30. Why does the author mention Ruby chocolate in the last paragraph? A. To present the misfortune of Ruby chocolate. B. To doubt a growing concern about chocolate. C. To show a promising future of blonde chocolate. D. To criticize public attitude towards blonde chocolate. 31. What might be a suitable title for the text? A. People’s Thoughts towards Blonde Chocolate B. Blonde Chocolate, Another Type of Sweet Dessert C. The Uncommon Development of Blonde Chocolate D. Blonde Chocolate, a Delicious Treat Created by Mistake D Ten years ago, the science fiction series Black Mirror showed a story about using artificial intelligence (人工智能) to bring back loved ones. Thanks to technological advancement, the latest AI technology brings back loved ones through virtual form. Recently, it was reported that famous musician Tino Bao had created a digital version of his daughter, who passed away in 2021 due to a rare disease at the age of 22. With the help of AI, Bao was able to recreate his late daughter Bao Rong as a virtual figure. Tino Bao, his family and the team tried to piece together pictures, videos and memories of Rong. After thousands of trials and errors, they presented the life-like digital human who speaks in both Chinese and English. Bao finally set up a company to bring the technological miracle to other families experiencing such loss. However, every coin has two sides. The idea of bringing back a loved one through AI may seem comforting. Still, researchers warn that constantly interacting with an AI version of a deceased (已故的) loved one could lead to lasting sadness and other mental health problems. After the case of Bao Rong, AI resurrection (复活) has become a business. Some people use it to commit crimes or make profits. Therefore, it is important for the government to make laws to make sure the use of AI resurrection technology is safe and responsible. 32. How does AI bring back loved ones? A. By taking pictures. B. By building a system. C. By creating virtual form. D. By playing recordings. 33. Why did Bao set up a company? A. To earn money and fame. B. To show his interest in AI. C. To attract people’s attention. D. To bring the technological miracle to other families. 34. What do the researchers think of AI resurrection? A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Neutral. D. Unconcerned. 35. What should the government do? A. Stop people from using the technology. B. Apply the technology as soon as possible. C. Strengthen the management of the technology. D. Educate the public about the dangers of the technology. 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。 If staying optimistic (乐观) is something you struggle with, you`re certainly not alone.

No skateboarding or leaving the house no matter what!” Dio was unhappy at it upon hearing his parents repeat his punishment. He was so disobedient (不听话) that he had been forced to stay home while his parents went to work. Dio looked through the pages of his book mindlessly. He would usually ride on his skateboard when he was free but his parents had kept it hidden from him. Dio’s mind was fixed on the skateboard. Just then, an idea came to his mind. He rose from his bed and thought “They must have kept the skateboard somewhere in the attic (阁楼). They have always forbidden me from going up there!” He could not bear the boredom of being at home so he decided to disobey his parents. Dio took a chair and placed it in front of the attic. After numerous attempts, he managed to climb up into it. Taking his phone from his pocket and turning on the flashlight, he searched for the skateboard until he found it. He jumped down, ran back into his room, locked his door, set up a decoy (替身) to take his place and together with his skateboard, jumped over the wall. He rushed out of the house without thinking twice. Without any safety equipment, Dio was on his way. Dio rode on his skateboard feeling the soft wind kissing his skin. He started skating towards the local park near their house. Dio was on the top of the world. Suddenly, a little kid appeared on his path. Dio knew that he could not stop the skateboard in time to avoid the kid. He was skating at a high speed and drops of sweat formed on his forehead. With his face as pale as a sheet, he knocked on a rock and was sent flying into the air. It all happened so quickly. He prepared for the crash as he closed his eyes. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 He landed on the ground heavily and heard his parents calling out to him. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dio woke up in the hospital to the sound of crying. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
