My beach talk was inspired by the weather we’d been having in New York, which varied from don’t-you-dare-leave-the-house cold to your-hair-will-never-forgive-you rain. Through it all, I couldn’t help but dream of summers at Coney Island. Weekends spent relaxing in a beach chair, enjoying the sunshine and thinking about the next ice cream. Those days are a long way off. But on Wednesday of last week, when the weather finally cleared, I jumped at the chance to walk outside umbrella-free. I wasn’t really sure where to walk during my hour-long lunch break until the South Street Seaport popped into my mind. It’s just a short walk from the office and, although it was cold out, it seemed to call out to me. The more I walked, the better the weather got. By the time I made it to the seaport, the sun was really shining. I spotted a way by the water that appeared to lead to a sun deck (甲板). I walked up it and was floored by the view that greeted me. The Brooklyn Bridge was in all its glory. There were Adirondack chairs strategically positioned all over the deck to take in the postcard-like scene. I made myself comfortable in one of the chairs, then stretched out my legs and closed my eyes for a minute, bathing in golden sunlight. That’s when I realized I was doing exactly what I would’ve done if I were at the beach. Except, of course, I was wearing a big winter coat and there was no ice cream in sight! Still, the thought filled me with happiness. You never know what wonder awaits you after a storm. Like a beach day in the middle of winter in the middle of a work day in the middle of New York City. 4. What made the author think about the beach? A. The relaxing weekend. B. The delicious ice cream. C. The unbearable weather. D. The summer at Coney Island. 5. Where did the author decide to walk during the lunch break? A. To the fascinating beach. B. To the nearby park. C. To the Brooklyn Bridge. D. To the South Street Seaport. 6. What does the author mean by saying “You never know what wonder awaits you after a storm”? A. Good things always come prior to bad things. B. The weather in New York is unpredictable. C. The seaport is a great place to go after a storm. D. A small escape can bring a refreshing change. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. An inspirational winter story. B. An iconic attraction in New York. C. A clear and warm day in cold winter. D. A travel guide to South Street Seaport. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者回忆了上周去海滩的所见及感悟。寒冷阴雨的冬天里，作者遇到一个好天气，去了海滩享受了短暂的美好。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“My beach talk was inspired by the weather we’d been having in New York, which varied from don’t-you-dare-leave-the-house cold to your-hair-will-never-forgive-you rain. Through it all, I couldn’t help but dream of summers at Coney Island. (我的海滩谈话灵感来自于我们在纽约的天气，从“你不敢出门”的冷到“你的头发永远不会原谅你”的雨不一而足。在这一切中，我忍不住梦想着在科尼岛度过的夏日)”可知，难以忍受的冬季阴冷天气让作者思念夏日沙滩。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I wasn’t really sure where to walk during my hour-long lunch break until the South Street Seaport popped into my mind.(在长达一个小时的午休时间里，我真的不知道该去哪里散步，直到南街海港突然出现在我的脑海里)”及第三段“By the time I made it to the seaport, the sun was really shining.(当我到达海港的时候，太阳真的很亮)”可知，作者决定去了南街海港（the South Street Seaport）。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段该句上文“I made myself comfortable in one of the chairs, then stretched out my legs and closed my eyes for a minute, bathing in golden sunlight.( 我在其中一把椅子上舒服地坐了下来，然后伸直双腿，闭上眼睛，在金色的阳光下沐浴了一会儿)”及“Still, the thought filled me with happiness.(尽管如此，这个想法还是让我充满了幸福)”可知推测，作者在纽约市中心繁忙的工作日里，在阴冷的冬天遇到一个好天气的日子里，来到这个港口晒太阳，意识到自己正在做着在夏日海滩上会做的事情，很高兴。因此感叹你永远不知道暴风雨过后会有什么奇迹出现。比如，享受海滩般的休闲时光。因此“一次小小的逃离能让你得到令人耳目一新的改变”最符合题意。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“My beach talk was inspired by the weather we’d been having in New York, which varied from don’t-you-dare-leave-the-house cold to your-hair-will-never-forgive-you rain. (我的海滩谈话灵感来自于我们在纽约的天气，从“你不敢出门”的冷到“你的头发永远不会原谅你”的雨不一而足)”及最后一段“Still, the thought filled me with happiness. You never know what wonder awaits you after a storm. Like a beach day in the middle of winter in the middle of a work day in the middle of New York City.(尽管如此，这个想法还是让我充满了幸福。你永远不知道暴风雨过后会有什么奇迹在等着你。就像在冬天的沙滩上在纽约市中心的工作日里)”可知，全文讲述作者冬日里一次中午外出散步的感悟，感受到严寒的冬日仍然可以享受到夏日海滩般游玩的快乐，所以这是“一个鼓舞人心的冬季故事”。故选A项。 C The Summer Olympics in Paris is always impressive, but 2024 promised something extraordinary even before the games began — the seats you are sitting on! Made from locally recycled plastic, these seats are sustainability (可持续性) champions in their own right. The Paris 2024 Summer Olympics made history in terms of sustainability, as 11,000 stadium seats made entirely of recycled plastic are used during the water sports. The plastic used for the seats was collected from recycling bins in the Seine-Saint-Denis neighborhood, and 80% of the 100 metric tons needed for the seats came from this area. The collected plastic was cut and torn into small pieces, processed and turned into new material by a local recycling firm called Le Pavé. After the base materials are produced into plastic seats with different colors, the seats have gone through numerous tests, including mechanical resistance, fire resistance, as well as UV resistance. The recycled plastic chairs proved to be strong and durable, with producers reporting no problems in the production process. The use of recycled plastic seats is part of Paris and France’s commitment to sustainability, with the goal of reducing downstream emissions (排放) by 50% compared to the 2012 and 2016 games. Additionally, the city is working to fight against environment worsening by making the Seine River swimmable for the first time in decades, in an effort to host the triathlon (铁人三项) there. The recycled plastic seats not only promote sustainability but also raise awareness about waste recycling, with children being encouraged to throw their plastic bottles into appropriate bins. The Paris Olympics’ use of recycled plastic seats demonstrates the potential of a circular economy, where waste is repurposed and reused, ultimately reducing the amount of plastic waste in landfills and oceans. 8. What is special about the seats for the 2024 Paris Olympics? A. They won the championship in a competition. B. They are made with a mix of plastic types. C They are made from recyclable plastic. D. They are produced from local raw materials. 9. Where was the plastic for the seats mostly collected from? A. Recycling firms. B. Local recycling bins. C All over France. D. International suppliers. 10. What does the numerous tests mainly show in paragraph 3? A. The advantages of the seats. B. The production process of the seats. C. The difficulty of producing the seats. D. The significance of the plastic seats. 11. What is one of the goals of using recycled plastic seats at the Paris Olympics? A. To create continued economic growth. B. To reduce energy consumption. C. To attract more attention to the games. D. To contribute to environmental efforts. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章讲述了2024年巴黎奥运会的座椅使用可回收塑料制成，不仅促进了可持续性，还提高了人们对废物回收的认识。巴黎奥运会对再生塑料座椅的使用展示了循环经济的潜力。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Made from locally recycled plastic, these seats are sustainability (可持续性) champions in their own right.(这些座椅由当地回收的塑料制成，本身就是可持续发展的冠军。)”可知，2024年巴黎奥运会的座椅特别之处在于它们由可回收塑料制成的，故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The plastic used for the seats was collected from recycling bins in the Seine-Saint-Denis neighborhood, and 80% of the 100 metric tons needed for the seats came from this area.(座椅所用的塑料是从塞纳-圣德尼附近的回收箱中收集的，座椅所需的100吨塑料中有80%来自该地区。)”可知，这些塑料主要来自当地的回收垃圾箱，故选B。 10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段内容“After the base materials are produced into plastic seats with different colors, the seats have gone through numerous tests, including mechanical resistance, fire resistance, as well as UV resistance. The recycled plastic chairs proved to be strong and durable, with producers reporting no problems in the production process. (基材生产成不同颜色的塑料座椅后，座椅经过多次测试，包括机械性能、防火性能、抗紫外线性能等。事实证明，回收的塑料椅子坚固耐用，生产商称在生产过程中没有出现任何问题。)”可知，这些测试主要显示了座椅的优点，故选A。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段内容“The use of recycled plastic seats is part of Paris and France’s commitment to sustainability, with the goal of reducing downstream emissions (排放) by 50% compared to the 2012 and 2016 games. Additionally, the city is working to fight against environment worsening by making the Seine River swimmable for the first time in decades, in an effort to host the triathlon (铁人三项) there.(使用再生塑料座椅是巴黎和法国可持续发展承诺的一部分，其目标是与2012年和2016年奥运会相比，将下游排放量减少50%。此外，为了举办铁人三项比赛，巴黎几十年来首次将塞纳河改造成可游泳的河流，以此来应对日益恶化的环境。)”可知，使用可回收塑料座椅的目的是为了环境保护，实现可持续发展目标，故选D。 D Waves of innovation often create giants. Artificial intelligence (AI) may well be the next big technological shift, transforming the way of businesses. Firms selling the software and hardware that support AI will gain a lot of profit. But none is better positioned than Nvidia, an American firm that makes specialist AI chips. Its market value briefly passed $1,000 billion this week. Will Nvidia always be a tech-giant in this field? The hype (炒作) around AI makes the question hard to answer. Excitement about Nvidia began to mount in November, after the release of ChatGPT, an AI-powered chatbot. Since then many kinds of firms have launched AI products. Nvidia is in an enviable (令人羡慕的) position. Its core business is designing high-performance chips. At first it sold these to video-game lovers. The chips were also highly efficient at training AI models, and a new, booming market emerged. Nvidia also had the forethought to invest in two areas that helped strengthen its dominance (支配地位). One is advanced networking. Because training AI models requires vast amounts of processing power, many chips — sometimes thousands — are used at the same time. These chips exchange data along a high-performance, AI-tailored network. Nvidia’s other strength is its software. CUDA, its AI platform, is popular with programmers and runs only on the company’s chips. For instance, by giving free access to its chips and software to some AI researchers, the firm focused on encouraging developers to use its software long before its competitors set out to woo them. Despite all these advantages, however, Nvidia’s lasting dominance is not assured. New companies and big chipmakers want a share of Nvidia’s network and chip businesses. The biggest challenge, though, may come from Nvidia’s own customers. The cloud-computing arms of both Amazon and Alphabet are designing their own AI-tailored chips. Both have the potential to become fearsome competitors. 12. Which of the following makes Nvidia enviable according to the passage? A. The hype around artificial intelligence. B. The release of ChatGPT. C. The availability of its chips. D. The high performance of its chips. 13. What does the underlined word “woo” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Hunt for. B. Attend to. C. Approve of. D. Guard against. 14. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Nvidia will lose its dominance definitely. B. Nvidia should further improve its chips. C. Alphabet has weakened Nvidia’s market. D. Amazon will defeat Nvidia soon. 15. What does the author think of Nvidia’s dominance in the future? A. Unchallengeable. B. Uncertain. C. Predictable. D. Assured. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了英伟达芯片的高性能令人羡慕，然而许多公司都推出了人工智能产品，让其领导地位受到了挑战。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But none is better positioned than Nvidia, an American firm that makes specialist AI chips.(但没有哪家公司比生产专业人工智能芯片的美国公司英伟达更有优势)”以及第三段“Nvidia is in an enviable (令人羡慕的) position.(英伟达处于一个令人羡慕的位置)”可知，芯片的高性能让英伟达令人羡慕。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“by giving free access to its chips and software to some AI researchers, the firm focused on encouraging developers to use its software long before its competitors set out to(通过向一些人工智能研究人员免费提供其芯片和软件，该公司专注于鼓励开发人员使用其软件，早在竞争对手开始之前……)”可知，英伟达通过向一些人工智能研究人员免费提供其芯片和软件，该公司早在竞争对手开始寻找到这些人员之前就专注于鼓励开发人员使用其软件。故划线词意思是“寻找”。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The biggest challenge, though, may come from Nvidia’s own customers. The cloud-computing arms of both Amazon and Alphabet are designing their own AI-tailored chips. Both have the potential to become fearsome competitors.(不过，最大的挑战可能来自英伟达自己的客户。亚马逊和Alphabet的云计算部门都在设计自己的人工智能定制芯片。两者都有可能成为令人生畏的竞争对手)”可知，英伟达应该进一步改进它的芯片。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite all these advantages, however, Nvidia’s lasting dominance is not assured.(然而，尽管有这些优势，英伟达的长期统治地位仍不确定)”可知，英伟达在未来的主导地位是不确定的。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Have an Awesome (很好的) Work Career I was reflecting on my work career this morning and came to the realization that my job is “awesome”.

If you can’t find the meaning in your current job, it may be time to look for a new career.(你的工作是有目标的，你必须找到那个更高的目标。即使是普通的工作也可以被认为是有意义的。如果你在目前的工作中找不到意义，也许是时候寻找新的职业了。)”可知，后文主要论述了关于工作是否有意义的观点。故A选项“An awesome job is one that has meaning. (一份很棒的工作是有意义的。)”符合语境。故选A。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Accomplishment. Choose a career where you can accomplish things, take pride in those accomplishments, and celebrate them.(成就。选择一个你能有所成就的职业，为这些成就感到自豪，并为之庆祝。)”以及后文“The pride comes from readers and students who comment favorably on my accomplishments.(骄傲来自于对我的成就给予好评的读者和学生。)”可知，后文提到了骄傲的来源，推测本句是在说明骄傲的原因。故D选项“I take pride when I publish a paper or give a great lecture. (当我发表了一篇论文或做了一次精彩的演讲时，我感到自豪。)”符合语境。故选D。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Positive Relationships. Nothing can make a career more awesome than working with terrific people, and building strong and rewarding relationships with them.(积极的关系。没有什么比与优秀的人一起工作，并与他们建立牢固而有益的关系更能让职业生涯变得令人敬畏的了)”以及后文“I get to meet with wonderful clients (客户) in my consulting (咨询) work, and I have some of the best research cooperators. I try to avoid the bad relationships — those that can make you question yourself and your career choice.(在我的咨询工作中，我遇到了很棒的客户，我有一些最好的研究合作者。我尽量避免糟糕的关系——那些会让你质疑自己和你的职业选择的关系。)”可知，本段主要论述了积极的关系，后文提到了作者会避免糟糕的关系，推测本句是在说明作者对于积极关系的感受。故F选项“I’m fortunate to have amazing, talented, and awesome students.

I often talk to people who are unhappy because their jobs consume all of their time and energy.(平衡。一份令人敬畏的职业是允许有时间陪伴家人、朋友，并有能力追求与工作无关的兴趣的职业。我经常和那些不快乐的人交谈，因为他们的工作消耗了他们所有的时间和精力。)”可知，上文提到了不快乐是因为工作消耗了他们所有的时间和精力，推测本句给出应对的方法，E选项中balance对应上文Balance。故E选项“Some of them change to careers that allow greater balance. (他们中的一些人会转行从事更平衡的工作。)”符合语境。故选E。 【20题详解】 根据后文“To some extent it is true. But it is more likely that people have to plan, make tough strategic career decisions, and work hard to make their career awesome.(在某种程度上这是对的。但更有可能的是，人们必须制定计划，做出艰难的战略性职业决策，努力工作，让自己的职业生涯变得精彩。)”可知，后文提到了it is true，推测本句是在说明后文针对true所提出的疑问，故G选项“Does good fortune play a part in someone having an awesome career?

As we were heading back to the car with our purchases, I noticed another mother with her teenage son happily walking to their car, which was parked in the next aisle (过道). The next few events all happened over a very short stretch of time. As I was loading my groceries into our car and tending to my little baby, I heard a sudden very loud screaming and crying. I had no idea what could have happened so quickly, but it appeared that the teenage boy had somehow become seriously injured. His mom was holding him in a desperate hug while he was sobbing, and when she took her hand away from him for a moment, I saw some blood. The mother of the injured boy was clearly in shock and couldn’t do anything besides holding her son, who had stopped yelling but was still shaking and crying. I really wanted to be of help, but I was also trying to attend my little one who half stood from the grocery cart seat, so I couldn’t get there immediately. Just then, another woman came striding (大步) over in a full-steam-ahead speed walk. She immediately jumped into action, demanding the facts from the mother. She was just direct and to the point in a way that was necessary to cut through the panic in an urgent situation. They quickly decided to call 911, and the woman was all over it, telling the emergency responders everything they needed to know. She did everything exactly right that you’re supposed to do in an emergency, giving clear directions to the ambulance driver. It was actually amazing to witness her confidence under pressure. 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。 I asked if they needed any more help and the woman said no. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Immediately I started to direct the ambulance toward the injured boy. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： I asked if they needed any more help and the woman said no. I was relieved to hear that, but I still felt a little worried about the injured boy. I watched as the ambulance arrived and the paramedics took the boy and his mother into the vehicle. I hoped that the boy would be okay. Immediately I started to direct the ambulance toward the injured boy. I waved my hands and shouted to the driver to follow me. The driver saw me and followed my directions. I led them to the spot where the boy was waiting. The paramedics quickly got out of the ambulance and started to treat the boy. I stood by and watched, praying for the boy’s recovery. After a few minutes, the boy was loaded into the ambulance and taken to the hospital. I felt a sense of relief, knowing that he was getting the help he needed. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者带着孩子去当地的杂货店买东西时，遇到了一个十几岁的男孩似乎受了重伤，就在男孩的妈妈和作者不知所措时，另一个女人挺身而出伸出了援助之手。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我问他们是否还需要帮助，那位女士说不需要了。”可知，第一段可描写女人回答后作者的内心活动和救护车到来后的情况。 ②由第二段首句内容“我立刻开始指挥救护车朝受伤的男孩开过去。”可知，第二段可描写救护车到来后作者的具体行动和内心感受。 2.续写线索：受伤——帮助——担忧——指挥——救助——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①到达：arrive/reach ②指导：direct/guide ③大声叫喊：shout/exclaim/yell out 情绪类 ①宽慰的：relieved/with relief ②担忧的：worried/anxious 【点睛】【高分句型1】I led them to the spot where the boy was waiting.(运用了where引导的限制性定语从句) 【高分句型2】I stood by and watched, praying for the boy’s recovery.(运用了现在分词作伴随状语) 听力1-5 BCACA 6-10 ABCBA 11-15 CBCCB 16-20 ACABA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 英语试题 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 考试时间为120分钟，满分150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

My beach talk was inspired by the weather we’d been having in New York, which varied from don’t-you-dare-leave-the-house cold to your-hair-will-never-forgive-you rain. Through it all, I couldn’t help but dream of summers at Coney Island. Weekends spent relaxing in a beach chair, enjoying the sunshine and thinking about the next ice cream. Those days are a long way off. But on Wednesday of last week, when the weather finally cleared, I jumped at the chance to walk outside umbrella-free. I wasn’t really sure where to walk during my hour-long lunch break until the South Street Seaport popped into my mind. It’s just a short walk from the office and, although it was cold out, it seemed to call out to me. The more I walked, the better the weather got. By the time I made it to the seaport, the sun was really shining. I spotted a way by the water that appeared to lead to a sun deck (甲板). I walked up it and was floored by the view that greeted me. The Brooklyn Bridge was in all its glory. There were Adirondack chairs strategically positioned all over the deck to take in the postcard-like scene. I made myself comfortable in one of the chairs, then stretched out my legs and closed my eyes for a minute, bathing in golden sunlight. That’s when I realized I was doing exactly what I would’ve done if I were at the beach. Except, of course, I was wearing a big winter coat and there was no ice cream in sight! Still, the thought filled me with happiness. You never know what wonder awaits you after a storm. Like a beach day in the middle of winter in the middle of a work day in the middle of New York City. 4. What made the author think about the beach? A. The relaxing weekend. B. The delicious ice cream. C. The unbearable weather. D. The summer at Coney Island. 5. Where did the author decide to walk during the lunch break? A. To the fascinating beach. B. To the nearby park. C. To the Brooklyn Bridge. D. To the South Street Seaport. 6. What does the author mean by saying “You never know what wonder awaits you after a storm”? A. Good things always come prior to bad things. B. The weather in New York is unpredictable. C. The seaport is a great place to go after a storm. D. A small escape can bring a refreshing change. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. An inspirational winter story. B. An iconic attraction in New York. C. A clear and warm day in cold winter. D. A travel guide to South Street Seaport. C The Summer Olympics in Paris is always impressive, but 2024 promised something extraordinary even before the games began — the seats you are sitting on! Made from locally recycled plastic, these seats are sustainability (可持续性) champions in their own right. The Paris 2024 Summer Olympics made history in terms of sustainability, as 11,000 stadium seats made entirely of recycled plastic are used during the water sports. The plastic used for the seats was collected from recycling bins in the Seine-Saint-Denis neighborhood, and 80% of the 100 metric tons needed for the seats came from this area. The collected plastic was cut and torn into small pieces, processed and turned into new material by a local recycling firm called Le Pavé. After the base materials are produced into plastic seats with different colors, the seats have gone through numerous tests, including mechanical resistance, fire resistance, as well as UV resistance. The recycled plastic chairs proved to be strong and durable, with producers reporting no problems in the production process. The use of recycled plastic seats is part of Paris and France’s commitment to sustainability, with the goal of reducing downstream emissions (排放) by 50% compared to the 2012 and 2016 games. Additionally, the city is working to fight against environment worsening by making the Seine River swimmable for the first time in decades, in an effort to host the triathlon (铁人三项) there. The recycled plastic seats not only promote sustainability but also raise awareness about waste recycling, with children being encouraged to throw their plastic bottles into appropriate bins. The Paris Olympics’ use of recycled plastic seats demonstrates the potential of a circular economy, where waste is repurposed and reused, ultimately reducing the amount of plastic waste in landfills and oceans. 8. What is special about the seats for the 2024 Paris Olympics? A. They won the championship in a competition. B. They are made with a mix of plastic types. C. They are made from recyclable plastic. D. They are produced from local raw materials. 9 Where was the plastic for the seats mostly collected from? A. Recycling firms. B. Local recycling bins. C. All over France. D. International suppliers. 10. What does the numerous tests mainly show in paragraph 3? A. The advantages of the seats. B. The production process of the seats. C. The difficulty of producing the seats. D. The significance of the plastic seats. 11. What is one of the goals of using recycled plastic seats at the Paris Olympics? A. To create continued economic growth. B. To reduce energy consumption. C. To attract more attention to the games. D. To contribute to environmental efforts. D Waves of innovation often create giants. Artificial intelligence (AI) may well be the next big technological shift, transforming the way of businesses. Firms selling the software and hardware that support AI will gain a lot of profit. But none is better positioned than Nvidia, an American firm that makes specialist AI chips. Its market value briefly passed $1,000 billion this week. Will Nvidia always be a tech-giant in this field? The hype (炒作) around AI makes the question hard to answer. Excitement about Nvidia began to mount in November, after the release of ChatGPT, an AI-powered chatbot. Since then many kinds of firms have launched AI products. Nvidia is in an enviable (令人羡慕的) position. Its core business is designing high-performance chips. At first it sold these to video-game lovers. The chips were also highly efficient at training AI models, and a new, booming market emerged. Nvidia also had the forethought to invest in two areas that helped strengthen its dominance (支配地位). One is advanced networking. Because training AI models requires vast amounts of processing power, many chips — sometimes thousands — are used at the same time. These chips exchange data along a high-performance, AI-tailored network. Nvidia’s other strength is its software. CUDA, its AI platform, is popular with programmers and runs only on the company’s chips. For instance, by giving free access to its chips and software to some AI researchers, the firm focused on encouraging developers to use its software long before its competitors set out to woo them. Despite all these advantages, however, Nvidia’s lasting dominance is not assured. New companies and big chipmakers want a share of Nvidia’s network and chip businesses.

As we were heading back to the car with our purchases, I noticed another mother with her teenage son happily walking to their car, which was parked in the next aisle (过道). The next few events all happened over a very short stretch of time. As I was loading my groceries into our car and tending to my little baby, I heard a sudden very loud screaming and crying. I had no idea what could have happened so quickly, but it appeared that the teenage boy had somehow become seriously injured. His mom was holding him in a desperate hug while he was sobbing, and when she took her hand away from him for a moment, I saw some blood. The mother of the injured boy was clearly in shock and couldn’t do anything besides holding her son, who had stopped yelling but was still shaking and crying. I really wanted to be of help, but I was also trying to attend my little one who half stood from the grocery cart seat, so I couldn’t get there immediately. Just then, another woman came striding (大步) over in a full-steam-ahead speed walk. She immediately jumped into action, demanding the facts from the mother. She was just direct and to the point in a way that was necessary to cut through the panic in an urgent situation. They quickly decided to call 911, and the woman was all over it, telling the emergency responders everything they needed to know. She did everything exactly right that you’re supposed to do in an emergency, giving clear directions to the ambulance driver. It was actually amazing to witness her confidence under pressure. 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。 I asked if they needed any more help and the woman said no. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Immediately I started to direct the ambulance toward the injured boy. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 BCACA 6-10 ABCBA 11-15 CBCCB 16-20 ACABA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
