A. The joy of helping others. B. A precious medal. C. A lot of money. 【答案】17. A 18. B 19. C 20. A 【解析】 【原文】M: I live in the center of the city where it rarely rains, so cars parked in open parking lots easily collect pollutants and dust. Together with my friends, I decided it should be a kind gesture to surprise the owners with a car wash. Every once in a while, someone would come by and ask us seemingly stupid men, “Who told you to wash the cars?” or, even better, “Who paid you to wash their cars?” We explained we just wanted to do something kind. But our response was often met with an even more confused look. As the afternoon went on, some other friends that came by understood our goal of the voluntary event and started helping out with some of the duties. I wasn’t cleaning cars for money. I was cleaning cars simply because I wanted to offer the car owners kindness. I now realize, first hand, that there is a special energy created when you choose to think bigger than yourself and act in service of others and maybe, like me, you’ll find it’s actually the greatest gift you’ll ever get. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Four best day trips from Amsterdam: the ultimate travel guide Zaanse Schans: a picture-perfect town of windmills A trip to the Netherlands would be incomplete without seeing windmills-and there’s no better way to see them than in the historical town of Zaanse Schans. This quaint village gives visitors an accurate impression of Dutch living in the 17th and 18th centuries. From cheese and dairy factories to traditional windmills and historical museums, you’ll live, breathe, and experience the old Zaan style of living. Classic! Travel time by car: 21 minutes Transport fees: €4 for adults, €1.5 for children Marken: a former island in the Zuiderzee Residents of the town built wooden houses on artificial hills to prevent more flooding damage. To this day, these picturesque homes remain a popular cultural attraction. On your walk, you can visit the cosy town harbour or enjoy the scenic route of fields, forests, and the lakeshore. Travel time by car: 27minutes Transport fees: €4.5 for adults, €1.5 for children Dordrecht: a historic trading port Dordrecht is the oldest city in Holland (we mean the old province of Holland and not the so-called “country”!). There are plenty of cultural spots, including seven churches and several historical monuments-turned-museums. Travel time by car; l hour and 5 minutes Transport fees: €9.5 for adults, €2 for children (2-6 years old) Schiedam; home to the world’s tallest windmill While there are windmills all around the Netherlands,Schiedam has the tallest traditional windmills of all, standing at 26.6 metres. Schiedam is also known for being the Netherlands’ gin (杜松子酒) capital, with the city producing the most jenever (also known as Dutch gin) in the country. There are multiple bars museums where you can check out the production process. Travel time by car: 55 minutes Transport fees: €9 for adults, €3 for children 21. How much should a couple pay for a trip at least? A. €3. B. €8. C. €9. D. €9.5. 22. Which trip leads to the oldest city in Holland? A. Zaanse Schans. B. Marken. C. Schiedam. D. Dordrecht. 23. What do Zaanse Schans and Schiedam have in common? A. They’re both islands. B. They both produce Dutch gin. C. They’re both featured in windmills. D. They’re famous for wooden houses. 【答案】21. B 22. D 23. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了阿姆斯特丹出发的四个最佳一日游。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Zaanse Schans: a picture-perfect town of windmills下的“Transport fees: €4 for adults, €1.5 for children(交通费：成人4欧元，儿童1.5欧元)”，Marken: a former island in the Zuiderzee下的“Transport fees: €4.5 for adults, €1.5 for children(交通费：成人4.5欧元，儿童1.5欧元)”，Dordrecht: a historic trading port下的“Transport fees: €9.5 for adults, €2 for children (2-6 years old)(交通费用：成人€9.5，儿童€2(2-6岁))”以及Schiedam; home to the world’s tallest windmill下的“Transport fees: €9 for adults, €3 for children(交通费：成人9欧元，儿童3欧元)”可知，一对夫妇参加Zaanse Schans: a picture-perfect town of windmills路线，花费4x2=8，花费最少。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Dordrecht: a historic trading port下的“Dordrecht is the oldest city in Holland (we mean the old province of Holland and not the so-called “country”!).(Dordrecht是荷兰最古老的城市(我们指的是荷兰古老的省份，而不是所谓的“国家”!))”可知，Dordrecht通向荷兰最古老的城市。故选D项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Zaanse Schans: a picture-perfect town of windmills下的“A trip to the Netherlands would be incomplete without seeing windmills-and there’s no better way to see them than in the historical town of Zaanse Schans.(没有风车的荷兰之旅是不完整的——没有比在历史小镇Zaanse Schans更好的观赏风车的方式了)”以及Schiedam; home to the world’s tallest windmill下的“While there are windmills all around the Netherlands,Schiedam has the tallest traditional windmills of all, standing at 26.6 metres.(虽然荷兰到处都是风车，但Schiedam拥有最高的传统风车，高达26.6米)”可知，Zaanse Schans和Schiedam的共同之处是它们都以风车为特色。故选C项。 B It’s January and time to go back to school. For some, that might be a gloomy prospect after the joys of the post Christmas festive period. For me, though, it’s as exciting as a trip to Antarctica, also as scary as starting a job for which I’m not sure whether I’m qualified. To be embarking on a master’s degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling at Regent’s University at 71 is perhaps an unlikely route for someone who dropped out of school at 17. But now I’ve come full circle to the conclusion that nothing for me, feels more stimulating at this point in my life than learning new things. That studying, far from being the bore and the chore it used to be, is a treat. Turning 70 came as something of a shock. I started to feel I was drifting (飘). Without a big project, and without any major family responsibilities, I was starting to feel I was lying on a bed of thorns. Friends of similar age were lapping up their lives, socializing and travelling. However, I longed for something more. Or perhaps not more, but different. As the gloom grew, I thought perhaps I needed to see a therapist. A friend, a psychotherapist, suggested that while therapy might be useful, doing a course on the basics of psychotherapy and counselling might be more up my street. Without too much thinking, I decided to give it a shot. So that’s how every weekday I beep (发出哔哔声) myself through the gate with my student pass, which makes me smile every time. I felt privileged to be exposed to a group of my fellow students who were willing to be open to me. While ageing is an inevitable process, we can get rid of a lot of the rules about what’s age-appropriate. Studying for a master’s degree in old age is a challenge, but it has provided me with a new perspective on life. Hence, ageing should never limit your ambitions. 24. How did the author feel when going back to school? A. Unrealistic. B. Resistant. C. Awkward. D. Expectant. 25. Why did turning 70 come as a shock to the author? A. She achieved nothing before. B. She lived without a purpose. C. She had to support her family. D. She was separated by her fellows. 26. What is the author’s suggestion when facing ageing? A. Keeping your passions alive. B. Seeking support if needed. C. Behaving age-appropriately. D. Socializing with young students. 27. What can be the best title for the text? A. Returning To School — My Dream Since Childhood B. My Efforts To Learn At An unlikely Age Paying Off C. Learning — My Way To Overcome The Ageing Crisis D. My Tough Journey To Pursuing A Master’s Degree 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者七十岁退休以后，因生活没有了目标而有危机感。于是，在朋友建议下，作者决定攻读硕士学位，这让作者有了新的奋斗目标和人生感悟。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s January and time to go back to school. For some, that might be a gloomy prospect after the joys of the post Christmas festive period. For me, though, it’s as exciting as a trip to Antarctica, also as scary as starting a job for which I’m not sure whether I’m qualified. (现在是一月份，是时候回学校了。对一些人来说，在圣诞节后的欢乐过后，这可能是一个令人沮丧的前景。然而，对我来说，这就像去南极洲旅行一样令人兴奋，也像开始一份我不确定自己是否胜任的工作一样令人恐惧。)”和第二段“To be embarking on a master’s degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling at Regent’s University at 71 is perhaps an unlikely route for someone who dropped out of school at 17. But now I’ve come full circle to the conclusion that nothing, for me, feels more stimulating at this point in my life than learning new things. That studying, far from being the bore and the chore it used to be, is a treat. (对于一个17岁就辍学的人来说，71岁开始在摄政大学攻读心理治疗和咨询专业的硕士学位可能是一条不太可能的道路。但现在，我绕了一圈，得出了一个结论：对我来说，在我生命的这个阶段，没有什么比学习新事物更令人兴奋的了。学习不再像以前那样枯燥乏味，而是一种享受。)”可知，返校的时间到了，作者感到十分兴奋，她觉得学习不再是苦差事，而是一种享受，所以她满怀期待，故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Without a big project, and without any major family responsibilities, I was starting to feel I was lying on a bed of thorns. Friends of similar age were lapping up their lives, socializing and travelling. However, I longed for something more. Or perhaps not more, but different. (没有一个大项目，没有任何主要的家庭责任，我开始觉得自己躺在荆棘的床上。同龄的朋友们享受着他们的生活、社交和旅行。然而，我渴望更多的东西。或许不会更多，但会有所不同。)”可知，由于没有事情可做，也没有家庭负担，即生活没有目标，作者开始如坐针毡。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While ageing is an inevitable process, we can get rid of a lot of the rules about what’s age-appropriate. Studying for a master’s degree in old age is a challenge, but it has provided me with a new perspective on life. Hence, ageing should never limit your ambitions. (虽然衰老是一个不可避免的过程，但我们可以摆脱许多关于什么是适合年龄的规则。在年老时攻读硕士学位是一个挑战，但它让我对生活有了新的看法。因此，年龄不应该限制你的抱负。)”可知，面对衰老，作者的建议是人不能因为年老而没有追求，即仍要对生活满怀激情，故选A。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读文章，尤其是由文章第三段“Turning 70 came as something of a shock. I started to feel I was drifting (飘). Without a big project, and without any major family responsibilities, I was starting to feel I was lying on a bed of thorns. Friends of similar age were lapping up their lives, socializing and travelling. However, I longed for something more. Or perhaps not more, but different. (70岁生日到来让我有些震惊。我开始觉得自己在漂流。没有一个大项目，没有任何主要的家庭责任，我开始觉得自己躺在荆棘的床上。同龄的朋友们享受着他们的生活、社交和旅行。然而，我渴望更多的东西。或许不会更多，但会有所不同。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者七十岁退休以后，因生活没有目标而有危机感。于是，在朋友的建议下，作者决定攻读硕士学位，这对作者克服危机感产生了很大的帮助。选项C“Learning—My Way To Overcome The Ageing Crisis (学习——我克服老龄化危机的方法)”符合题意。故选C。 C The maleo (塚雉), a bird with black feathers and a pink chest, is native to Indonesia’s Sulawesi island and a few neighboring ones. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), which identifies wildlife across the world currently facing threats, estimates only 800 to 1,400 adult maleos remain in the wild. Experts do not know how many maleos still live across West Sulawesi island. They were only able to record the presence of nesting grounds in 23 villages based on reports from locals in the area. But of those, only 18 are considered active nesting areas. Recently, the birds have been faced with new threats, which accelerate their decline. The Indonesian government plans to move the nation’s capital from Jakarta to a new city on Borneo island, which is just a six-hour boat trip apart from Sulawesi island. The island takes on the building of new roads and seaports to be used to transport materials to the new capital. Activities also include tree clearing, digging, and removing stones. The process already has changed the forest environment on West Sulawesi and is harming maleo nesting areas near the beach. These changes have made the trip for maleos to lay their eggs increasingly difficult. Another problem has been poachers. The Associated Press reports that, regardless of official ban, they steal maleo eggs that the males’ parents have hidden in the sand, and sell the eggs for about $1 to people as food. The eggs are a traditional gift for many people in Mamuju and other parts of Sulawesi. “As far as I know, maleo birds are in decline,” said Andi Aco Takdir, chief of the West Sulawesi Forestry Agency. He pointed to several reasons for the decline, including destruction of beach areas, and expanding human development activities. He added that government officials there are prepared to take steps to protect the maleos even with the new capital development. Andi said, “Nature conservation must be used as an achievement and must not be built leaving behind problems.” 28. Which word can be used to describe the maleos? A. Endangered. B. Adaptable. C. Widespread. D. Extinct. 29. What causes a further drop of the maleo population? A. The sudden changes of climate. B. The disappearance of the forests. C. The development of Sulawesi island. D. The supporting work for the new capital. 30. What does the underlined word “poachers” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. People who hunt maleos for their meat. B. People who live by selling maleo eggs. C. People who engage in illegal hunting. D. People who regard maleo eggs as gifts. 31. What can we infer from Andi’s words? A. The new capital development might be stopped at once. B. The government will balance conservation and development. C. There seems to be a tough way for the new capital to develop. D. The government will concentrate on solving urban problems. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲的是印度尼西亚的濒危鸟类塚雉面临着新的威胁。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), which identifies wildlife across the world currently facing threats, estimates only 800 to 1,400 adult maleos remain in the wild. Experts do not know how many maleos still live across West Sulawesi island. (据国际自然保护联盟(IUCN)估计，世界上目前面临威胁的野生动物只有800到1400只成年塚雉存活在野外。专家们不知道西苏拉威西岛还有多少塚雉。)”可知西苏拉威西岛的塚雉的处境非常危险。故选A项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The island takes on the building of new roads and seaports to be used to transport materials to the new capital. Activities also include tree clearing, digging, and removing stones. The process already has changed the forest environment on West Sulawesi and is harming maleo nesting areas near the beach. These changes have made the trip for maleos to lay their eggs increasingly difficult.(该岛承担了新的道路和海港的建设，用于将材料运输到新首都。活动还包括清理树木、挖掘和移走石头。这一过程已经改变了西苏拉威西的森林环境，并正在损害海滩附近的塚雉筑巢区。这些变化使得塚雉的产卵之旅变得越来越困难。)”可知新首都的兴建的工作开展使得西苏拉威西的森林环境遭到了破坏，这使塚雉的产卵之旅变得越来越困难，从而造成其数量进一步下降。故选D项。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词之后“they steal maleo eggs that the males’ parents have hidden in the sand, and sell the eggs for about $1 to people as food.(他们偷取塚雉父母藏在沙子里的塚雉蛋，以大约1美元的价格卖给人们当食物。)”可知此处指的是一些专门通过偷取塚雉蛋来赚钱的人，所以划线词的意思应为偷猎者，与C项People who engage in illegal hunting.(从事非法狩猎的人。)意思相近。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“He added that government officials there are prepared to take steps to protect the maleos even with the new capital development. Andi said, “Nature conservation must be used as an achievement and must not be built leaving behind problems.”(他补充说，即使在新的首都发展中，那里的政府官员也准备采取措施保护塚雉。安迪说：“自然保护必须作为一项成就来利用，而不能留下问题。”)”可知在安迪看来政府将平衡保护塚雉和新首都的建设工作。故选B项。 D A team of three students won $700,000 this week for using artificial intelligence (AI) to read passages from an ancient papyrus scroll (纸草卷轴). The document is one of the more than 800 scrolls known as the Herculaneum papyri that were carbonized by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Researchers discovered the passages in the 18th century, but attempts to read them proved in vain: Unfolding them by hand only caused them to fall apart. That’s where the Vesuvius Challenge comes in. Brent Seales, a computer scientist, and two businessmen, Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross, launched the Vesuvius Challenge in March 2023, offering more than $1 million in prize money for reaching a series of milestones using “computer vision, machine learning and hard work”. For the biggest prize, the organizers released high-resolution CT scans of the scrolls and explained the contest’s rules: Participants would need to decipher (破译) at least 85 percent of four passages. A series of smaller prizes were also awarded throughout the year. The winning team consists of Nader (an Egyptian PhD student in Germany), Julian Schilliger (a robotics student in Switzerland) and Luke Farritor (a computer science student in Nebraska). Their submission was “met with widespread amazement” by the review team of papyrologists. Farritor also won the challenge’s $40,000 “First Letters” prize in October, when he deciphered the scroll’s first word “porphyras”, which means “purple” in ancient Greek. Nader and Farritor began working together the following month and were joined by Schilliger shortly before the December 31 deadline. The team ultimately trained machine-learning algorithms (算法) to decipher more than 2,000 characters—more than what was needed to win the Grand Prize. These passages appear to be a philosophical discussion of life’s pleasures, including music and food, though the papyrology team is still studying the results. “It seems familiar to us, and we can’t escape the feeling that the first text we’ve uncovered is a 2,000-year-old blog post about how to enjoy life,” write the organizers. 32. Which statement fits the papyrus scroll in paragraph 1? A. Its 800-word texts were well-known. B. It was successfully unfolded. C. It was discovered in 79 AD. D. Its text contents were unavailable. 33. What should participants do to win the biggest prize? A. Explain language rules. B. Decipher four passages word by word. C. Develop a type of CT scanner of the scrolls. D. Translate most characters of the given passages. 34. What is the author’s main purpose in writing paragraph 3? A. To introduce some background information. B. To summarize the above paragraphs. C. To lead to a philosophical conclusion. D. To put forward a scientific theory. 35. What do we know about the winning team’s achievement? A. It is under discussion. B. It is beyond expectation. C. It is familiar to philosophers. D. It is uncovered by the organizers. 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述一个由三名学生组成的团队利用人工智能破译古代纸草卷轴上的内容，赢得了70万美元的奖金。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Researchers discovered the passages in the 18th century, but attempts to read them proved in vain: Unfolding them by hand only caused them to fall apart.(研究人员在18世纪发现了这些段落，但试图阅读它们的尝试被证明是徒劳的：用手打开它们只会导致它们分崩离析)”可知，纸草卷轴的文本内容无法获得，故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“For the biggest prize, the organizers released high-resolution CT scans of the scrolls and explained the contest’s rules: Participants would need to decipher (破译) at least 85 percent of four passages.(对于最大的奖品，组织者公布了卷轴的高分辨率CT扫描，并解释了比赛的规则：参与者需要破译至少85%的四个段落)”可知，参赛者需要翻译给定段落中的大部分字符才能获得最大奖项，故选D。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段内容，尤其是“The winning team consists of Nader (an Egyptian PhD student in Germany), Julian Schilliger (a robotics student in Switzerland) and Luke Farritor (a computer science student in Nebraska).(获胜团队由Nader(在德国的埃及博士生)，Julian Schilliger(瑞士的机器人专业学生)和Luke Farritor(内布拉斯加州的计算机科学专业学生)组成)”和“Nader and Farritor began working together the following month and were joined by Schilliger shortly before the December 31 deadline.(接下来的一个月，Nader和Farritor开始合作，在12月31日截止日期前不久，Schilliger加入了他们的团队)”可知，本段目的是对获胜团队做一些背景介绍，故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The team ultimately trained machine-learning algorithms (算法) to decipher more than 2,000 characters — more than what was needed to win the Grand Prize.(该团队最终训练了机器学习算法，破译了2000多个字符——这比赢得大奖所需的数字还要多)”可知，获胜团队所破译的字数比赢得大奖所需的数字还要多，由此推知他们的成就出乎意料，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。 Holidays abroad are officially back, with millions set to book a trip away this summer, To guarantee a stress-free break, use these practical tips.

F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要向读者提供了关于如何准备和应对国外旅行的实用建议，以确保旅行的顺利进行并减少压力。 【36题详解】 根据前文“By not having insurance, travellers risk having to pay substantial medical or repatriation (遣送回国) costs if they fall ill or hurt themselves abroad(由于没有保险，旅行者如果在国外生病或受伤，可能不得不支付大笔医疗或遣返费用)”可知，此处是在讲述，不购买保险的后果，所以D项“And they may also risk a delay in treatment(而且他们还可能有延迟治疗的风险)”符合本段主题，介绍不购买保险的后果。故选D项。 【37题详解】 分析设空，为本段小标题，根据后文“With tourist areas expected to be crowded this year, many visitors will face disappointment if they don’t book attractions or restaurants in advance. Avoid long queues at busy places by making a reservation.(由于今年旅游区预计会很拥挤，许多游客如果不提前预订景点或餐厅，将会感到失望。为了避免在繁忙的地方排长队，可以提前预约)”可知，本段主要讲述了提前预定，所以C项“Book activities and attractions in advance(提前预定活动和景点)”符合本段主题，为本段小标题。故选C项。 【38题详解】 根据后文“being able to speak and clearly understand the local language will make your whole holiday experience stress free and much more enjoyable.(能够说并清楚地理解当地的语言将使你的整个假期体验没有压力，更愉快)”可知，需要能够说并清楚地理解当地的语言，只有在出国的时候，所以A项“When you travel abroad(当你出国旅行时)”引出下文。故选A项。 【39题详解】 根据前文“Unfortunately, as a traveller, you can attract the attention of criminals who see you as an easy target, so it’s important to stay alert to the possible risk of theft, cheats and other financial tricks.(不幸的是，作为一个旅行者，你可能会吸引犯罪分子的注意，他们把你视为一个容易的目标，所以重要的是要警惕可能发生的盗窃、欺骗和其他金融骗局的风险)”可知，本段主要讲述，出国旅行时，小心盗窃、欺骗和其他金融骗局，再根据后文“Do not let your credit card leave your sight when paying for things.(付款时不要让你的信用卡离开你的视线)”此处是在讲如何避免的方法，所以E项“Avoid carrying large amounts of cash when exploring(探索时避免携带大量现金)”符合此处主题，介绍如何避免财产损失。故选E项。 【40题详解】 根据前文“With large numbers of travellers expected this year,be prepared for airports, ports and stations to be extremely busy with a high chance of delays. Have a less stressful journey by allowing yourself plenty of time to check in and get through security.(由于预计今年将有大量旅客，机场、港口和车站将非常繁忙，延误的可能性很大，请做好准备。给自己足够的时间办理登机手续和通过安检，这样旅途压力就会小一些)”可知，今年旅行人数会很多，所以建议提前去机场等交通点，F项“Make sure you have books, magazines, or games to keep you entertained(确保你有书、杂志或游戏来娱乐自己)”介绍度过在机场等地等候的时间，符合此处主题。故选F项。 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 For me, one of the most fascinating aspects of exploring diverse cultures is observing how ordinary and sometimes even insignificant things can ____41____ from place to place.

Rather, it is the view of a long way to fall, of rocks far below me and no firm wall between me and the edge. Despite my fear, two summers ago I somehow found myself climbing to a high place. Most of our high school had come along on a day trip to the Boquerón, a gorgeous, lush spot in the foothills of Peru. Its prime attraction is the main waterfall, about 100 feet high, that thunders into a crystal clear pool feeding the Aguaytia River. After eating our sack lunches within sight and sound of the fall, many of us wanted to make the climb to an area above it. We knew others had done so on previous trips. We went along the base of the hill until we reached the climb. It stopped me in my tracks. The climb ascended steeply above us. Along the right edge, the jungle hugged the rocks; passage through its trees did not look feasible. The majority of my view was filled with rocks. Looming high to the sky, the boulders rose in a tiered manner. Peering back down toward the river, I saw a steep slope of rocks all the way to the water. All I could think about was how far it would be to fall. My tense thoughts were interrupted by the realization that my friends were already beginning to climb! My anxiety increased as I watched them. Looking back, My friend Seth was behind me. Do I turn back? My whole being shouted, “Yes!” Will I regret it later? While my friends marched forward, my instinct told me to retreat. The inner struggle raged inside me: either turn around and give in to my fears, or move on and face my deepest fears. The attraction of the summit fights the terror of the height. 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 voiced my uncertainties to my friends. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally we came to the worst section of the climbing. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： I voiced my uncertainties to my friends. They dismissed my fears and encouraged me to stick it out. Questioning my own wisdom, I decided at least to attempt the climb. Consoling myself that my friend Seth would be right behind me, I shakily began the ascent. My friends kept right on climbing. But they did not forget me. Someone was always behind me to help hold my feet steady when necessary, and someone else was always ahead to offer a hand up. I was soon past the first challenge safely. Finally we came to the worst section of the climbing. To me the slope looked very close to vertical. The slight handholds were few and far between. With fear and trembling, I made my way ahead slowly. My friends waited patiently, not pressuring me to hurry. Instead Seth supported my foot, and those above sent down words of encouragement. I kept on climbing painstakingly even with my heart in my mouth. Finally, I was dirty and sweaty. But none of it mattered. I was on the top! 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者有恐高症，但在一次去山里旅游的时候，在朋友们的鼓励和帮助下，作者最终登上了山顶克服了自己的恐高症。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“我向朋友们表达了我的疑虑”可知，第一段可以描写作者向朋友们表达了疑虑后，朋友们给予我鼓励和帮助。 ②由第二段句首内容“最后我们来到了最糟糕的部分。”可知，第二段可以描写在最糟糕的部分时，作者的心理活动和朋友们的帮助。 2.续写线索：表达疑虑—被鼓励—被帮助—继续爬—来到最糟糕的部分—艰难地往上爬—脏且满身是汗—到达顶峰 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①消除：dismiss/ eliminate/ remove ②鼓励：encourage/ inspire ③帮助某人：offer a hand up/give sb. a hand/ do sb. a favor 情绪类 ①耐心：patiently / with patient ②害怕：fear/ anxiety 【点睛】【高分句型1】Consoling myself that my friend Seth would be right behind me, I shakily began the ascent.

This quaint village gives visitors an accurate impression of Dutch living in the 17th and 18th centuries. From cheese and dairy factories to traditional windmills and historical museums, you’ll live, breathe, and experience the old Zaan style of living. Classic! Travel time by car: 21 minutes Transport fees: €4 for adults, €1.5 for children Marken: a former island in the Zuiderzee Residents of the town built wooden houses on artificial hills to prevent more flooding damage.

Travel time by car: 27minutes Transport fees: €4.5 for adults, €1.5 for children Dordrecht: a historic trading port Dordrecht is the oldest city in Holland (we mean the old province of Holland and not the so-called “country”!).

B It’s January and time to go back to school. For some, that might be a gloomy prospect after the joys of the post Christmas festive period. For me, though, it’s as exciting as a trip to Antarctica, also as scary as starting a job for which I’m not sure whether I’m qualified. To be embarking on a master’s degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling at Regent’s University at 71 is perhaps an unlikely route for someone who dropped out of school at 17. But now I’ve come full circle to the conclusion that nothing, for me, feels more stimulating at this point in my life than learning new things. That studying, far from being the bore and the chore it used to be, is a treat. Turning 70 came as something of a shock. I started to feel I was drifting (飘). Without a big project, and without any major family responsibilities, I was starting to feel I was lying on a bed of thorns. Friends of similar age were lapping up their lives, socializing and travelling. However, I longed for something more. Or perhaps not more, but different. As the gloom grew, I thought perhaps I needed to see a therapist. A friend, a psychotherapist, suggested that while therapy might be useful, doing a course on the basics of psychotherapy and counselling might be more up my street. Without too much thinking, I decided to give it a shot. So that’s how every weekday I beep (发出哔哔声) myself through the gate with my student pass, which makes me smile every time. I felt privileged to be exposed to a group of my fellow students who were willing to be open to me. While ageing is an inevitable process, we can get rid of a lot of the rules about what’s age-appropriate. Studying for a master’s degree in old age is a challenge, but it has provided me with a new perspective on life. Hence, ageing should never limit your ambitions. 24. How did the author feel when going back to school? A. Unrealistic. B. Resistant. C. Awkward. D. Expectant. 25. Why did turning 70 come as a shock to the author? A. She achieved nothing before. B. She lived without a purpose. C. She had to support her family. D. She was separated by her fellows. 26. What is the author’s suggestion when facing ageing? A. Keeping your passions alive. B. Seeking support if needed. C. Behaving age-appropriately. D. Socializing with young students. 27. What can be the best title for the text? A. Returning To School — My Dream Since Childhood B. My Efforts To Learn At An unlikely Age Paying Off C. Learning — My Way To Overcome The Ageing Crisis D. My Tough Journey To Pursuing A Master’s Degree C The maleo (塚雉), a bird with black feathers and a pink chest, is native to Indonesia’s Sulawesi island and a few neighboring ones. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), which identifies wildlife across the world currently facing threats, estimates only 800 to 1,400 adult maleos remain in the wild. Experts do not know how many maleos still live across West Sulawesi island. They were only able to record the presence of nesting grounds in 23 villages based on reports from locals in the area. But of those, only 18 are considered active nesting areas. Recently, the birds have been faced with new threats, which accelerate their decline. The Indonesian government plans to move the nation’s capital from Jakarta to a new city on Borneo island, which is just a six-hour boat trip apart from Sulawesi island. The island takes on the building of new roads and seaports to be used to transport materials to the new capital. Activities also include tree clearing, digging, and removing stones. The process already has changed the forest environment on West Sulawesi and is harming maleo nesting areas near the beach. These changes have made the trip for maleos to lay their eggs increasingly difficult. Another problem has been poachers. The Associated Press reports that, regardless of official ban, they steal maleo eggs that the males’ parents have hidden in the sand, and sell the eggs for about $1 to people as food. The eggs are a traditional gift for many people in Mamuju and other parts of Sulawesi. “As far as I know, maleo birds are in decline,” said Andi Aco Takdir, chief of the West Sulawesi Forestry Agency. He pointed to several reasons for the decline, including destruction of beach areas, and expanding human development activities. He added that government officials there are prepared to take steps to protect the maleos even with the new capital development. Andi said, “Nature conservation must be used as an achievement and must not be built leaving behind problems.” 28. Which word can be used to describe the maleos? A Endangered. B. Adaptable. C. Widespread. D. Extinct. 29. What causes a further drop of the maleo population? A. The sudden changes of climate. B. The disappearance of the forests. C. The development of Sulawesi island. D. The supporting work for the new capital. 30. What does the underlined word “poachers” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. People who hunt maleos for their meat. B. People who live by selling maleo eggs. C. People who engage in illegal hunting. D. People who regard maleo eggs as gifts. 31. What can we infer from Andi’s words? A. The new capital development might be stopped at once. B. The government will balance conservation and development. C. There seems to be a tough way for the new capital to develop. D. The government will concentrate on solving urban problems. D A team of three students won $700,000 this week for using artificial intelligence (AI) to read passages from an ancient papyrus scroll (纸草卷轴). The document is one of the more than 800 scrolls known as the Herculaneum papyri that were carbonized by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Researchers discovered the passages in the 18th century, but attempts to read them proved in vain: Unfolding them by hand only caused them to fall apart. That’s where the Vesuvius Challenge comes in. Brent Seales, a computer scientist, and two businessmen, Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross, launched the Vesuvius Challenge in March 2023, offering more than $1 million in prize money for reaching a series of milestones using “computer vision, machine learning and hard work”. For the biggest prize, the organizers released high-resolution CT scans of the scrolls and explained the contest’s rules: Participants would need to decipher (破译) at least 85 percent of four passages. A series of smaller prizes were also awarded throughout the year. The winning team consists of Nader (an Egyptian PhD student in Germany), Julian Schilliger (a robotics student in Switzerland) and Luke Farritor (a computer science student in Nebraska). Their submission was “met with widespread amazement” by the review team of papyrologists. Farritor also won the challenge’s $40,000 “First Letters” prize in October, when he deciphered the scroll’s first word “porphyras”, which means “purple” in ancient Greek. Nader and Farritor began working together the following month and were joined by Schilliger shortly before the December 31 deadline. The team ultimately trained machine-learning algorithms (算法) to decipher more than 2,000 characters—more than what was needed to win the Grand Prize. These passages appear to be a philosophical discussion of life’s pleasures, including music and food, though the papyrology team is still studying the results. “It seems familiar to us, and we can’t escape the feeling that the first text we’ve uncovered is a 2,000-year-old blog post about how to enjoy life,” write the organizers. 32. Which statement fits the papyrus scroll in paragraph 1? A. Its 800-word texts were well-known. B. It was successfully unfolded. C. It was discovered in 79 AD. D. Its text contents were unavailable. 33. What should participants do to win the biggest prize? A. Explain language rules. B. Decipher four passages word by word. C. Develop a type of CT scanner of the scrolls. D. Translate most characters of the given passages. 34. What is the author’s main purpose in writing paragraph 3? A. To introduce some background information. B To summarize the above paragraphs. C. To lead to a philosophical conclusion. D. To put forward a scientific theory. 35. What do we know about the winning team’s achievement? A. It is under discussion. B. It is beyond expectation. C. It is familiar to philosophers. D. It is uncovered by the organizers. 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。 Holidays abroad are officially back, with millions set to book a trip away this summer, To guarantee a stress-free break, use these practical tips.

It’s not really a fear of being in a high place. Rather, it is the view of a long way to fall, of rocks far below me and no firm wall between me and the edge. Despite my fear, two summers ago I somehow found myself climbing to a high place. Most of our high school had come along on a day trip to the Boquerón, a gorgeous, lush spot in the foothills of Peru. Its prime attraction is the main waterfall, about 100 feet high, that thunders into a crystal clear pool feeding the Aguaytia River. After eating our sack lunches within sight and sound of the fall, many of us wanted to make the climb to an area above it. We knew others had done so on previous trips. We went along the base of the hill until we reached the climb. It stopped me in my tracks. The climb ascended steeply above us. Along the right edge, the jungle hugged the rocks; passage through its trees did not look feasible. The majority of my view was filled with rocks. Looming high to the sky, the boulders rose in a tiered manner. Peering back down toward the river, I saw a steep slope of rocks all the way to the water. All I could think about was how far it would be to fall. My tense thoughts were interrupted by the realization that my friends were already beginning to climb! My anxiety increased as I watched them. Looking back, My friend Seth was behind me. Do I turn back? My whole being shouted, “Yes!” Will I regret it later? While my friends marched forward, my instinct told me to retreat. The inner struggle raged inside me: either turn around and give in to my fears, or move on and face my deepest fears. The attraction of the summit fights the terror of the height. 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 voiced my uncertainties to my friends. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally we came to the worst section of the climbing. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
