Before and after school each day, he put on his wet suit, picked up his equipment, swam out beyond the surf line and waited to be challenged by his three-to-six-foot friends. One afternoon, the lifeguard reported over the phone to my husband Wilson that Leon’s eye was badly injured (受伤) by his board. Wilson rushed him to the hospital, where he received 26 stitches (缝针) from the corner of his eye to the bridge of his nose. I was on an airplane flying home from a meeting while Leon’s eye was being stitched. Wilson drove directly to the airport after they left doctor’s office. He greeted me at the gate and told me Leon was waiting in the car. “Leon?” I questioned. I remember thinking the waves must have been bad that day. “He’s been in an accident but he’s going to be fine,” said my husband. A travelling working mother’s worst nightmare (噩梦) had come true. I ran to the car so fast that the heel of my shoe broke off. I swung open the door to see that my youngest son had a patch (眼罩) over his eye and was leaning toward me crying, “Oh, Ma, I’m so glad you’re home.” I cried in his arms, telling him how awful I felt about not being there when the lifeguard called. “It’s okay, Mom,” he comforted me. “You don’t know how to surf anyway.” “What?” I asked, confused by his logic. “I’ll be fine. The doctor says I can go back in the water in eight days,” said my son. I wanted to tell him he wasn’t allowed to go near water again until he was 35, but instead, I bit my tongue and hoped he would forget about surfing. For the next seven days, he kept pressing me to let him surf again. One day after I had repeated “No” to him for the 100th time, he beat me at my own game. “Mom, you taught us never to give up what we love,” he said. And I gave in. Back then, Leon was just a boy with a passion for surfing. Now he’s a man with a passion for surfing. And he’s a man with a responsibility. He is one of the top 25 professional surfers in the world. Passionate people stick to what they love and never give up. 24. What happened to Leon one afternoon while surfing? A. He lost his surfboard. B. He saved another surfer. C. He was injured by his board. D. He was warned by the lifeguard. 25. What did Leon’s mother hope after his accident? A. He should find a new hobby. B. He must take surfing lessons. C. He would forget about surfing. D. He could surf again immediately. 26. What can we learn from Leon? A. Always listen to your parents. B. Stay away from danger. C. Follow the doctor’s advice strictly. D. Never give up on what you love. C Can plants talk? Modern research has found something amazing: they do communicate with each other It has been known for some time that plants use chemicals (化学物质) to communicate with each other. This happens when a plant gets attacked (攻击) by insects. The plant gives out chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten. This is like a warning, or a call for help: “I’m being attacked!” When another plant gets the chemicals, it starts to give out its own, different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others attract the wasps (黄蜂)! The wasps kill the insects that are eating the plants. Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system, so that we can use it to grow more crops. More surprisingly, plants also use sound to communicate. People can’t hear these sounds, but plants are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Corn and chili (辣椒)plants do this. Some trees make clicking noises when there is not enough water. Most surprisingly of all, plants have an amazing system of communication that can link nearly every plant in a forest. Scientists call this system the “wood wide web”. The wood wide web is linked underground by fungi (霉菌). It links the roots of different plants to each other. It is in some ways similar to the Internet we use. Using the wood wide web, plants can share information and even food with each other. However, it may lead to bad effects. Plants may use it to steal food from each other, or spread chemicals to attack other plants. Perhaps one day scientists will learn how to create a “firewall” to help prevent these attacks within the wood wide web. Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways in which plants talk to each other. Maybe one day we will know enough about plant communication to be able to “talk” with them ourselves. 27. When plants are attacked by insects, they will_________. A. produce chemicals as a warning or a call for help B. send out chemicals to humans to ask for help C. control the wasps to kill the insects D. kill the insects by themselves 28. What’s the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. How Plants Give Warnings B. The Secret Language of Plants C. Why Scientists Do Research about Plants D. The Study about the Plant Warning System D The Secret of Humans Beating AI “Dear Afu, who is Beyonce?” “Beyonce is an American singer, songwriter, actress, record producer, and dancer, who set a record with 32 Grammy wins…” “Good. Tell me how I can have two girlfriends.” “Are you crazy? If you do that, your secret won’t go undiscovered!” This was a conversation I had in a WeChat group called “Talking with your robot”, an account based on Chat Generative Pretrained Transformer technology. To me, the respondent was no different than a real person. ChatGPT as the new-generation talking AI has impressed global users, me included, ever since it surfaced online on Nov 30th, 2022. The new feature (功能) can answer questions, do translations, summarize essays and even draft codes for a computer program. It is as good as a human living inside a computer. ChatGPT is making life very convenient. A time might come when one hands it content and it produces a well-made PowerPoint presentation. That could, however, mean job losses (失业). After all, if a computer program can write code, then it would make a programmer redundant. That may be a worry, but it is still premature. ChatGPT has more advanced (先进的) learning features, but it still follows the same technological path. Its biggest advantage lies in the ability to carefully examine an ocean of data and rebuild words into a language, but it’s still not that creative. Artificial intelligence (人工智能) can quickly draw a picture, but that picture will be based on pictures it is fed. It can also write science fiction, but based on content about the future that it has read. In comparison (比较), a human brain imagines the future and then puts in efforts to realize it. AI can imagine a future with faster spaceships, but it can’t imagine a world of space elevators as humans can. So, there is no need to worry too much. By being creative there will be plenty of opportunities for humans to score over AI. 30. What’s the purpose of the dialogue in the beginning? A. To introduce the features of ChatGPT. B. To explore the creative abilities of humans. C. To explain how artificial intelligence works. D. To discuss the advantages of having two girlfriends. 31. The word “redundant” in Paragraph 7 probably means “_________”. A. unknown B. advanced C. creative D. unneeded 32. What can we learn from the passage? A. AI can paint whatever you want. B. ChatGPT can create new words by itself. C. AI can try its best to make its dream come true. D. ChatGPT can translate one language into another. 33. Which of the following statements would the writer agree with? A. AI can take the place of humans. B. Humans can beat AI with creativity. C. AI can share its experiences with humans. D. Humans can imagine a world of space elevators as AI. 第二部分 本部分共5题, 共20分。根据题目要求, 完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达（第34—36题每题2分, 第37题4分, 共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Teens like to work out in their daily life, like running, playing basketball or soccer. But we don’t often think of martial arts as a possible activity, instead, we rule it out because we think it’s dangerous, uncommon, and even, impossible. Well, here’s some good news: you’re wrong! Martial arts is much more common than people think, and you can start learning at any age. Practicing martial arts is a great way to keep in shape (both physically and mentally). And it’s much less scary and much less difficult than it’s usually portrayed (描绘) as in movies, so worry not, you don’t need to be the karate kid to have a blast! Let’s look at what you can usually expect from martial arts of any style. Good martial arts generally requires you to focus on the position and movement of every one of your limbs (四皮), sometimes even your breathing too. Think about it: when you leave the gym, your mental state has improved and you are much calmer. This is because you’ve only paid attention to one activity. It is a great way to clear your head, and practice can help you learn to stay more focused in general (say, when you start your schoolwork afterwards). Long series of choreographed moves (including when to breath in and out) called forms are often described as “moving meditation (冥想)”; they’re meditative in the same way doing repeated moves is, but much more so. Martial arts practice can be as slow or as intense (激烈的) as you want, but it’s always extremely attractive. Martial arts also improves your coordination (协调性), and greatly improves your posture. I have personally seen students go from slouching (低头垂肩地站) and knocking things over to walking tall with their shoulders back in just a couple of months. There are many styles and countless subtypes and mix-ups of martial arts. Whichever one appeals to you know that all of them are good choices, competitive or not. 34. What is a great way to keep in shape? ____________________________________________ 35. Why are you much calmer when you leave the gym? ____________________________________________ 36. What happens to students slouching and knocking things over in just a couple of months? ____________________________________________ 37. Would you like to work out martial arts after reading the passage? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons.) ____________________________________________ 五、文段表达（10分） 从下面两个题目中任选一题, 根据所给提示, 完成一篇不少于50词的英语文段写作。文中已给出内容不计入总词数。所给提示词语仅供选用。请不要写出你的校名和姓名。 题目① 38. 假如你是李华，你的英国笔友Chris对中国的传统节日很感兴趣。他给你发来邮件，想了解一下中国的传统节日。请你用英语回复一封邮件，介绍一个你最喜欢的中国传统节日，内容包括你最喜欢的中国传统节日是什么，在这个节日通常都做些什么，以及你喜欢这个节日的原因。 提示词语： the Spring Festival, watch, dumplings, get together, important 提示问题： ·What’s your favorite Chinese traditional festival? ·What do you usually do during the festival? ·Why do you like it?

Before and after school each day, he put on his wet suit, picked up his equipment, swam out beyond the surf line and waited to be challenged by his three-to-six-foot friends. One afternoon, the lifeguard reported over the phone to my husband Wilson that Leon’s eye was badly injured (受伤) by his board. Wilson rushed him to the hospital, where he received 26 stitches (缝针) from the corner of his eye to the bridge of his nose. I was on an airplane flying home from a meeting while Leon’s eye was being stitched. Wilson drove directly to the airport after they left doctor’s office. He greeted me at the gate and told me Leon was waiting in the car. “Leon?” I questioned. I remember thinking the waves must have been bad that day. “He’s been in an accident, but he’s going to be fine,” said my husband. A travelling working mother’s worst nightmare (噩梦) had come true. I ran to the car so fast that the heel of my shoe broke off. I swung open the door to see that my youngest son had a patch (眼罩) over his eye and was leaning toward me crying, “Oh, Ma, I’m so glad you’re home.” I cried in his arms, telling him how awful I felt about not being there when the lifeguard called. “It’s okay, Mom,” he comforted me. “You don’t know how to surf anyway.” “What?” I asked, confused by his logic. “I’ll be fine. The doctor says I can go back in the water in eight days,” said my son. I wanted to tell him he wasn’t allowed to go near water again until he was 35, but instead, I bit my tongue and hoped he would forget about surfing. For the next seven days, he kept pressing me to let him surf again. One day after I had repeated “No” to him for the 100th time, he beat me at my own game. “Mom, you taught us never to give up what we love,” he said. And I gave in. Back then, Leon was just a boy with a passion for surfing. Now he’s a man with a passion for surfing. And he’s a man with a responsibility. He is one of the top 25 professional surfers in the world. Passionate people stick to what they love and never give up. 24. What happened to Leon one afternoon while surfing? A. He lost his surfboard. B. He saved another surfer. C. He was injured by his board. D. He was warned by the lifeguard. 25. What did Leon’s mother hope after his accident? A. He should find a new hobby. B. He must take surfing lessons. C. He would forget about surfing. D. He could surf again immediately. 26. What can we learn from Leon? A. Always listen to your parents. B. Stay away from danger. C. Follow the doctor’s advice strictly. D. Never give up on what you love. 【答案】24. C 25. C 26. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述作者的儿子Leon很喜欢冲浪，在一次受伤后，作者禁止他再进行这项危险的运动，在Leon的再三的坚持下，他又重新开始冲浪，之后成为了专业的冲浪者。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“One afternoon, the lifeguard reported over the phone to my husband Wilson that Leon’s eye was badly injured (受伤) by his board.”可知，Leon的眼睛被冲浪板严重划伤。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“... and hoped he would forget about surfing.”可知，Leon的妈妈希望他忘记冲浪。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章，特别是最后一段“Passionate people stick to what they love and never give up.”可知，充满激情的人坚持自己喜欢的东西，从不放弃。故选D。 C Can plants talk? Modern research has found something amazing: they do communicate with each other. It has been known for some time that plants use chemicals (化学物质) to communicate with each other. This happens when a plant gets attacked (攻击) by insects. The plant gives out chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten. This is like a warning, or a call for help: “I’m being attacked!” When another plant gets the chemicals, it starts to give out its own, different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others attract the wasps (黄蜂)! The wasps kill the insects that are eating the plants. Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system, so that we can use it to grow more crops. More surprisingly, plants also use sound to communicate. People can’t hear these sounds, but plants are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Corn and chili (辣椒)plants do this. Some trees make clicking noises when there is not enough water. Most surprisingly of all, plants have an amazing system of communication that can link nearly every plant in a forest. Scientists call this system the “wood wide web”. The wood wide web is linked underground by fungi (霉菌). It links the roots of different plants to each other. It is in some ways similar to the Internet we use. Using the wood wide web, plants can share information and even food with each other. However, it may lead to bad effects. Plants may use it to steal food from each other, or spread chemicals to attack other plants. Perhaps one day scientists will learn how to create a “firewall” to help prevent these attacks within the wood wide web. Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways in which plants talk to each other. Maybe one day we will know enough about plant communication to be able to “talk” with them ourselves. 27. When plants are attacked by insects, they will_________. A produce chemicals as a warning or a call for help B. send out chemicals to humans to ask for help C. control the wasps to kill the insects D. kill the insects by themselves 28. What’s the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. How Plants Give Warnings B. The Secret Language of Plants C. Why Scientists Do Research about Plants D. The Study about the Plant Warning System 【答案】27. A 28. B 29. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了植物之间的交流方式。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中第二段中“This happens when a plant gets attacked by insects. The plant gives out chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten. This is like a warning, or a call for help: ‘I’m being attacked!’ ”可知，当植物受到昆虫攻击时，它们会产生化学物质作为警告或求助信号。故选A。 【28题详解】 篇章结构题。根据文中“Can plants talk? Modern research has found something amazing: they do communicate with each other.”可知，第一段总领全文，引出下文介绍的植物之间的相互交流。文章中的第二、三、四段详细介绍了植物之间的交流方式。文章的最后一段总结上文，并给了人们进一步研究的希望。选项B符合文章结构。故选B。 【29题详解】 最佳标题题。根据文中“Can plants talk? Modern research has found something amazing: they do communicate with each other.”及通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了植物之间的交流方式。选项B“植物的秘密语言”符合做最佳标题。故选B。 D The Secret of Humans Beating AI “Dear Afu, who is Beyonce?” “Beyonce is an American singer, songwriter, actress, record producer, and dancer, who set a record with 32 Grammy wins…” “Good. Tell me how I can have two girlfriends.” “Are you crazy? If you do that, your secret won’t go undiscovered!” This was a conversation I had in a WeChat group called “Talking with your robot” an account based on Chat Generative Pretrained Transformer technology. To me, the respondent was no different than a real person. ChatGPT as the new-generation talking AI has impressed global users, me included, ever since it surfaced online on Nov 30th, 2022. The new feature (功能) can answer questions, do translations, summarize essays and even draft codes for a computer program. It is as good as a human living inside a computer. ChatGPT is making life very convenient. A time might come when one hands it content and it produces a well-made PowerPoint presentation. That could, however, mean job losses (失业). After all, if a computer program can write code, then it would make a programmer redundant. That may be a worry, but it is still premature. ChatGPT has more advanced (先进的) learning features, but it still follows the same technological path. Its biggest advantage lies in the ability to carefully examine an ocean of data and rebuild words into a language, but it’s still not that creative. Artificial intelligence (人工智能) can quickly draw a picture, but that picture will be based on pictures it is fed. It can also write science fiction, but based on content about the future that it has read. In comparison (比较), a human brain imagines the future and then puts in efforts to realize it. AI can imagine a future with faster spaceships, but it can’t imagine a world of space elevators as humans can. So, there is no need to worry too much. By being creative there will be plenty of opportunities for humans to score over AI. 30. What’s the purpose of the dialogue in the beginning? A. To introduce the features of ChatGPT. B. To explore the creative abilities of humans. C. To explain how artificial intelligence works. D. To discuss the advantages of having two girlfriends. 31. The word “redundant” in Paragraph 7 probably means “_________”. A. unknown B. advanced C. creative D. unneeded 32. What can we learn from the passage? A. AI can paint whatever you want. B. ChatGPT can create new words by itself. C. AI can try its best to make its dream come true. D. ChatGPT can translate one language into another. 33. Which of the following statements would the writer agree with? A. AI can take the place of humans. B. Humans can beat AI with creativity. C. AI can share its experiences with humans. D. Humans can imagine a world of space elevators as AI. 【答案】30. A 31. D 32. D 33. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了聊天机器人ChatGPT。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章开头对话内容及下文描述可知，开头对话旨在介绍ChatGPT的功能，包括回答问题等，故选A。 【31题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“That could, however, mean job losses (失业). After all, if a computer program can write code, then it would make a programmer redundant.”可知，如果程序可以自动写代码，那么程序员将会失去工作，故划线单词“redundant”意为“多余的，不再需要的”，与unneeded意思相近。故选D。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The new feature (功能) can answer questions, do translations”可知，ChatGPT可以将一种语言翻译成另一种语言，故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In comparison (比较), a human brain imagines the future and then puts in efforts to realize it. AI can imagine a future with faster spaceships, but it can't imagine... to score over AI.”可知，人脑想象未来，然后努力实现它，无需过于担心。只要人类发挥创造力，就将有很多机会超越人工智能。故推测出作者认为人类能够凭借创造力胜过人工智能，故选B。 第二部分 本部分共5题, 共20分。根据题目要求, 完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达（第34—36题每题2分, 第37题4分, 共10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Teens like to work out in their daily life, like running, playing basketball or soccer. But we don’t often think of martial arts as a possible activity, instead, we rule it out because we think it’s dangerous, uncommon, and even, impossible. Well, here’s some good news: you’re wrong! Martial arts is much more common than people think, and you can start learning at any age. Practicing martial arts is a great way to keep in shape (both physically and mentally). And it’s much less scary and much less difficult than it’s usually portrayed (描绘) as in movies, so worry not, you don’t need to be the karate kid to have a blast! Let’s look at what you can usually expect from martial arts of any style. Good martial arts generally requires you to focus on the position and movement of every one of your limbs (四皮), sometimes even your breathing too. Think about it: when you leave the gym, your mental state has improved and you are much calmer. This is because you’ve only paid attention to one activity. It is a great way to clear your head, and practice can help you learn to stay more focused in general (say, when you start your schoolwork afterwards). Long series of choreographed moves (including when to breath in and out) called forms are often described as “moving meditation (冥想)”; they’re meditative in the same way doing repeated moves is, but much more so. Martial arts practice can be as slow or as intense (激烈的) as you want, but it’s always extremely attractive. Martial arts also improves your coordination (协调性), and greatly improves your posture. I have personally seen students go from slouching (低头垂肩地站) and knocking things over to walking tall with their shoulders back in just a couple of months. There are many styles and countless subtypes and mix-ups of martial arts. Whichever one appeals to you, know that all of them are good choices, competitive or not. 34. What is a great way to keep in shape? ____________________________________________ 35. Why are you much calmer when you leave the gym? ____________________________________________ 36. What happens to students slouching and knocking things over in just a couple of months? ____________________________________________ 37. Would you like to work out martial arts after reading the passage? Why or why not? (Please give two reasons.) ____________________________________________ 【答案】34. Practicing martial arts is a great way to keep in shape (both physically and mentally). 35. This is because you’ve only paid attention to one activity, which helps clear your head. 36. Students who slouch and knock things over can improve their posture and coordination, walking tall with their shoulders back in just a couple of months. 37. 开放性习题，参考答案为Yes, I would like to work out martial arts because it helps improve mental focus and physical posture, and it offers a way to stay fit in an engaging manner. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了练武术的好处。 【34题详解】 根据第二段“Practicing martial arts is a great way to keep in shape (both physically and mentally).”可知，武术锻炼有助于保持体型。故填Practicing martial arts is a great way to keep in shape (both physically and mentally). 【35题详解】 根据第三段“when you leave the gym, your mental state has improved and you are much calmer.
