The boy, Wang Fa, 14, is a member of the Va ethnic group (佤族) from Yunnan. After winning the under-14 title (冠军) at the ASICS Tennis Junior Tour in Guangzhou, a fan member from Yunnan gave him the bamboo basket as a gift and the photos were taken. “We always carry bamboo baskets when we work in the field. This is a typical farming tool of the Va ethnic group. I carried my rackets in this basket to honor my hometown,” Wang said after the match. Before tennis, Wang was just a common boy from a village. But in 2016, he was chosen by a local club as one of the first 10 local children to learn to play professional tennis. “I was nervous at the beginning because the outside world was so different from my home,” he said, adding that tennis has helped him make more friends and get a better education. Over the past six years, Wang, along with other players at the Yunnan Wild Elephants Tennis Club, has trained hard to improve his skills and physical strength. The children would get up at 6:30 a.m. and practice for more than six hours a day. Every day, they needed to swing a racket more than 7,000 times and run 9 kilometers. “If it were not for tennis, I would still be helping out my family with farmwork back home,” Wang said. Wang’s parents didn’t want him to learn tennis at first because they couldn’t afford it. But the tennis club offered to teach him for free. Wang’s hometown, the mountainous Cangyuan Va autonomous county (沧源佤族自治县), was just lifted out of poverty (脱贫) in 2019, reported China Daily. For Wang, winning the ASICS Tennis Junior Tour title was the beginning of a hopeful future. “I will aim for the top on the professional stage,” he said. 29.

Surprised. 31. Why didn’t Wang’s parents want him to learn tennis at first? A. Because he was not strong enough. B. Because Wang Fa had no interest in learning tennis. C. Because they were very poor.

In fact, trouble was on its way for every strong dog with warm long hair. This was because men, going through the Arctic (北极的) darkness, had discovered a yellow metal—gold. And because shipping and transportation (运输) companies were advertising the discovery, thousands of men were rushing into the Northland. These men wanted heavy dogs, with strong muscles (肌肉) for working and thick coats to protect them from the cold. Buck lived at Judge Miller’s house in the sunny-kissed Santa Clara Valley. There were big stables (马厩), long grape fields, fruit gardens and a big swimming pool. Buck ruled over the whole kingdom. Here he was born and here he had lived the four years of his life. He protected the Judge’s sons and daughters at long midnight or early morning walks. On cold winter nights he lay at the Judge’s feet in front of the warm library fire. He was king—king over everything, crawled (爬行的), walked, or flew at Judge Miller’s place, including humans. Buck was this kind of dog in the autumn of 1897, when the discovery of gold in the Klondike pulled men from all over the world into the frozen North. But Buck did not read the newspapers. He did not know that Manuel, one of gardener’s helpers, was not to be trusted. Manuel loved to gamble (赌博). He believed he could win but he was doomed to failure. On the night of Manuel’s betrayal (背叛), no one saw him and Buck went off through the fields. Buck imagined it to be a relaxing walk. They arrived at a little train. A man talked with Manuel and money passed between them. Manuel tied a piece of thick rope around Buck’s neck. Buck accepted it quietly. To be sure, it was unwanted, but Buck had learned to trust men he knew. However, when the ends of the rope were placed in the stranger’s hands, he barked. Then the rope tightened (收紧) painfully, his tongue hanging out of his mouth. Then his strength disappeared, his eyes grew dim (浑浊), and he knew nothing when the train pulled up. Two men threw him into the baggage car. (—Adapted from The Call of the Wild by Jack London) 33. What was the trouble Buck didn’t know at first? A. He did not read the newspapers. B. Judge Miller would ask someone to send Buck away. C. Men wanted heavy dogs to work for them in the cold areas. D. Manuel was doomed to lose money when gambling. 34. Which description about Buck is NOT true according to the story? A. The Judge’s family betrayed him so he ran away quietly. B. He had lived in Judge Miller’s house since he was born. C. Life before the autumn of 1897 was enjoyable for him. D. Manuel could take him out of Miller’s house because he trusted Manuel. 35. Put the following statements in the correct order according to the passage. ①Manuel sold Buck to a man. ②Manuel and Buck went off through the field. ③Manual and Buck arrived at a train. ④Two men threw him into the baggage car. ⑤His strength disappeared and his eyes grew dim because the rope tightened painfully. A. ②③①④⑤ B. ③①②⑤④ C. ③①②④⑤ D. ②③①⑤④ 36. The story is mainly about ________. A. animals’ trust in humans B. people’s discovery of gold C. Buck’s early life at Judge Miller’s D. the turning point of Buck’s life 【答案】33. C 34. A 35. D 36. D 【解析】 【导语】本文节选自《野性的呼唤》。本文主要讲述了一条叫做Buck的狗曾经生活得很幸福，但是后来，他被他所信任的Manuel卖给了别人，他的命运从此发生转折，彻底改变了。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Buck did not read the newspapers, or he would know that trouble was coming.”和“These men wanted heavy dogs, with strong muscles(肌肉) for working and thick coats to protect them from the cold.”可知，Buck起初不知道这些人是想让这些狗为他们在寒冷的地区工作的。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“He did not know that Manuel, one of gardener’s helpers, was not to be trusted.”以及文章的最后一段，可知，园丁的助手Manuel为了钱而背叛了Buck，把它卖给了陌生人，而不是法官一家背叛他。故选A。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据“On the night of Manuel’s betrayal (背叛), no one saw him and Buck went off through the fields.…They arrived at a little train. A man talked with Manuel and money passed between them.…Then the rope tightened (收紧) painfully, his tongue hanging out of his mouth. Then his strength disappeared, his eyes grew dim (浑浊), and he knew nothing when the train pulled up. Two men threw him into the baggage car.”可知，在Manuel背叛Buck的当天晚上，他和Buck穿过田野，到了一辆火车旁，Manuel把Buck卖给了一个男人，随着绳子收紧，他感受到了痛苦，他的力气逐渐消失，眼神逐渐失去光彩，两个男人把他扔进了车厢里。故选D。 【36题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了一条狗Buck曾经生活得幸福而自豪，但是后来，他非常信任的Manuel因为钱把他卖掉，彻底改变了他的命运，使他在身体和精神上受到了双重打击。结合选项可知D选项“Buck生命的转折点”符合题意，故选D。 D Imagine this: one person tells a lie confidently, while another says something true in a hesitant voice. Which person would you trust? According to British scientist Dean Burnett, humans are far more likely to believe information delivered (传达) confidently by a confident person or in some other ways using confident language. “Humans trusting confident people over those who are more uncertain is an established phenomenon (已知现象),” wrote Burnett for Science Focus magazine. “When two people are trying to make a decision but each person says different things, confidently expressed arguments are seen as delivering better information, which decides the decision.” Why is this the case? As Burnett said, humans are social animals. In our ancient past, most of our information about the world came from our tribe (部落), in other words, the people around us. So, if ancient humans heard someone confidently saying: “There’s a tiger coming,” believing what that person said could save our lives. On a more personal level, we use our own experiences to understand what other people do and say. That’s how our brain works. When we are confident, it’s for good reason. Therefore, we believe that when someone else is being confident, they must have good reason, too. However, we need to realize that confidently delivered information may be more persuasive (有说服力的), but that doesn’t mean it’s correct. As Burnett wrote, we are living in a more and more complex (复杂的) world. Trusting very confident people without checking the facts can lead to “undesirable outcomes (不良后果)”. 37. Which word is closest in meaning to “hesitant” in Paragraph 1? A. confident B. uncertain C. believable D. complex 38. Which of the following is Burnett’s opinion? A. Confident people are more likely to be trusted. B. Uncertain voices are usually wrong. C. Confident people like to make decisions. D. Confident people are more likely to argue with others. 39. The example in Paragraph 4 is given to show that ________. A. a confident person is usually the leader of a group B. a confident person is brave enough to fight against animals C. being social led humans to trust confident voices D. confident words can raise the unity of a tribe 40. What is Burnett’s worry? A. People are too quick to believe what others say. B. Information delivered confidently can be misleading. C. Being confident is not a good thing. D. The world is becoming more and more complex. 【答案】37. B 38. A 39. C 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章从科学的角度解释了我们是如何相信别人的，什么样的人更容易被我们相信及其原因。同时，科学家还表明了自己的担忧。 【37题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段“Imagine this: one person tells a lie confidently, while another says something true in a hesitant voice”可知，while表示对比，一个很自信地说谎，然而另外一个则是犹豫地说事实，故此处划线部分和uncertain“不确定的”意义相近。故选B。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Therefore, we believe that when someone else is being confident, they must have good reason, too.”可知，伯内特可能同意，自信的人更有可能得到信任，做事有充分的理由。故选A。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Why is this the case? As Burnett said, humans are social animals...believing what that person said could save our lives”可知这个例子说明人类是群居动物，这让人们相信更自信的声音。故选C。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Trusting very confident people without checking the facts can lead to ‘undesirable outcomes (不良后果)’.”可知，在不核实事实的情况下，信任非常自信的人可能会导致“不良结果”，自信地传递的信息可能会产生误导。故选B。 五、信息还原（共五小题，每小题1分，满分5分） 请认真阅读下面短文，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。 With the development of technology and economy, social media is becoming one of the fastest-growing industries in today’s world.

This makes it one of four global (全球的) satellite navigation systems, along with the United States’ GPS, Russia’s GLONASS and the European Union’s Galileo. China started to develop the BDS in 1994. The system came into use in 2000. After 12 years of work, it began serving the Asia-Pacific region. In 2020, with the global use of BDS-3, China has improved the system to provide users with more correct positioning services, making it a valuable tool for more industries, including transportation, agriculture, and surveying. Now, with 59 satellites in its network, the BDS has served more than 1.5 billion users across the world. Most mobile apps providing maps, navigation and shopping services in China already support the BDS. China’s satellite navigation industry is growing fast. Its value reached more than 500 billion yuan in 2022. That number is expected to double by 2025. In the first half year of 2023, there were about 13.4 million new BDS devices (设备). Nearly 60% were used in transport systems. The rest were used in communication and agriculture. The former made up about 28% and the later 12%. As BDS gets more popular, it is expected to play an increasingly important role in global navigation and positioning services. 56.

After 12 years of work, it began serving the Asia-Pacific region.”可知，设备在2000年投入使用，在12年后开始服务于亚太地区。故填In 2012. 【58题详解】 根据“Now, with 59 satellites in its network, the BDS has served more than 1.5 billion users across the world.”可知，目前，北斗系统拥有59颗卫星，为全球超过15亿用户提供服务。故填More than 1.5 billion. 【59题详解】 根据“In the first half year of 2023, there were about 13.4 million new BDS devices (设备). Nearly 60% were used in transport systems.”可知，在2023年上半年，大约有1340万个新的北斗系统设备，近60%用于运输系统。故填Yes, they were. 【60题详解】 开放性题目，合理即可。故填It’s very useful/great. 八、短文填空（共10分；每空1分，满分10分） 根据短文内容及所给首字母提示， 写出所缺单词，使短文意思完整、通顺，每空一词。 Water is i___61___ for all living things on Earth.

If you want to buy two Chinese knots during the Spring Festival, you need to pay 320 yuan B A set of photos of a boy carrying his tennis rackets in a bamboo basket has gone viral (走红). The boy, Wang Fa, 14, is a member of the Va ethnic group (佤族) from Yunnan. After winning the under-14 title (冠军) at the ASICS Tennis Junior Tour in Guangzhou, a fan member from Yunnan gave him the bamboo basket as a gift and the photos were taken. “We always carry bamboo baskets when we work in the field. This is a typical farming tool of the Va ethnic group. I carried my rackets in this basket to honor my hometown,” Wang said after the match. Before tennis Wang was just a common boy from a village. But in 2016, he was chosen by a local club as one of the first 10 local children to learn to play professional tennis. “I was nervous at the beginning because the outside world was so different from my home,” he said, adding that tennis has helped him make more friends and get a better education. Over the past six years, Wang, along with other players at the Yunnan Wild Elephants Tennis Club, has trained hard to improve his skills and physical strength. The children would get up at 6:30 a.m. and practice for more than six hours a day. Every day, they needed to swing a racket more than 7,000 times and run 9 kilometers. “If it were not for tennis, I would still be helping out my family with farmwork back home,” Wang said. Wang’s parents didn’t want him to learn tennis at first because they couldn’t afford it. But the tennis club offered to teach him for free. Wang’s hometown, the mountainous Cangyuan Va autonomous county (沧源佤族自治县), was just lifted out of poverty (脱贫) in 2019, reported China Daily. For Wang, winning the ASICS Tennis Junior Tour title was the beginning of a hopeful future. “I will aim for the top on the professional stage,” he said. 29. Why did Wang Fa carry his rackets in the basket? A. To attract others’ attention. B. Because his parents gave the basket to him. C. Because the basket was one of the prizes from the competition. D. To honor his hometown. 30. How did Wang Fa feel after he was chosen by a local club as one of the first 10 local children to learn to play professional tennis? A. Excited. B. Relaxed. C. Nervous. D. Surprised. 31. Why didn’t Wang’s parents want him to learn tennis at first? A. Because he was not strong enough. B. Because Wang Fa had no interest in learning tennis. C. Because they were very poor. D. Because Wang Fa was so young. 32. The best title for the passage can be ________. A. Wang’s life in the club B. Wang gets a better education C. A young talent from Yunnan D. Why Wang chose this activity C Buck did not read the newspapers, or he would know that trouble was coming. In fact, trouble was on its way for every strong dog with warm long hair. This was because men, going through the Arctic (北极的) darkness, had discovered a yellow metal—gold. And because shipping and transportation (运输) companies were advertising the discovery, thousands of men were rushing into the Northland. These men wanted heavy dogs, with strong muscles (肌肉) for working and thick coats to protect them from the cold. Buck lived at Judge Miller’s house in the sunny-kissed Santa Clara Valley. There were big stables (马厩), long grape fields, fruit gardens and a big swimming pool. Buck ruled over the whole kingdom. Here he was born and here he had lived the four years of his life. He protected the Judge’s sons and daughters at long midnight or early morning walks. On cold winter nights he lay at the Judge’s feet in front of the warm library fire. He was king—king over everything, crawled (爬行的), walked, or flew at Judge Miller’s place, including humans. Buck was this kind of dog in the autumn of 1897, when the discovery of gold in the Klondike pulled men from all over the world into the frozen North. But Buck did not read the newspapers. He did not know that Manuel, one of gardener’s helpers, was not to be trusted. Manuel loved to gamble (赌博). He believed he could win but he was doomed to failure. On the night of Manuel’s betrayal (背叛), no one saw him and Buck went off through the fields. Buck imagined it to be a relaxing walk. They arrived at a little train. A man talked with Manuel and money passed between them. Manuel tied a piece of thick rope around Buck’s neck. Buck accepted it quietly. To be sure, it was unwanted, but Buck had learned to trust men he knew. However, when the ends of the rope were placed in the stranger’s hands, he barked. Then the rope tightened (收紧) painfully, his tongue hanging out of his mouth. Then his strength disappeared, his eyes grew dim (浑浊), and he knew nothing when the train pulled up. Two men threw him into the baggage car. (—Adapted from The Call of the Wild by Jack London) 33. What was the trouble Buck didn’t know at first? A. He did not read the newspapers. B. Judge Miller would ask someone to send Buck away. C. Men wanted heavy dogs to work for them in the cold areas. D. Manuel was doomed to lose money when gambling. 34. Which description about Buck is NOT true according to the story? A. The Judge’s family betrayed him so he ran away quietly. B. He had lived in Judge Miller’s house since he was born. C. Life before the autumn of 1897 was enjoyable for him. D. Manuel could take him out of Miller’s house because he trusted Manuel. 35. Put the following statements in the correct order according to the passage. ①Manuel sold Buck to a man. ②Manuel and Buck went off through the field. ③Manual and Buck arrived at a train. ④Two men threw him into the baggage car. ⑤His strength disappeared and his eyes grew dim because the rope tightened painfully. A. ②③①④⑤ B. ③①②⑤④ C. ③①②④⑤ D. ②③①⑤④ 36. The story is mainly about ________. A. animals’ trust in humans B. people’s discovery of gold C. Buck’s early life at Judge Miller’s D. the turning point of Buck’s life D Imagine this: one person tells a lie confidently, while another says something true in a hesitant voice. Which person would you trust? According to British scientist Dean Burnett, humans are far more likely to believe information delivered (传达) confidently by a confident person or in some other ways using confident language. “Humans trusting confident people over those who are more uncertain is an established phenomenon (已知现象),” wrote Burnett for Science Focus magazine. “When two people are trying to make a decision but each person says different things, confidently expressed arguments are seen as delivering better information, which decides the decision.” Why is this the case? As Burnett said, humans are social animals. In our ancient past, most of our information about the world came from our tribe (部落), in other words, the people around us. So, if ancient humans heard someone confidently saying: “There’s a tiger coming,” believing what that person said could save our lives. On a more personal level, we use our own experiences to understand what other people do and say. That’s how our brain works. When we are confident, it’s for good reason. Therefore, we believe that when someone else is being confident, they must have good reason, too. However, we need to realize that confidently delivered information may be more persuasive (有说服力的), but that doesn’t mean it’s correct. As Burnett wrote, we are living in a more and more complex (复杂的) world. Trusting very confident people without checking the facts can lead to “undesirable outcomes (不良后果)”. 37. Which word is closest in meaning to “hesitant” in Paragraph 1? A. confident B. uncertain C. believable D. complex 38. Which of the following is Burnett’s opinion? A. Confident people are more likely to be trusted. B. Uncertain voices are usually wrong. C. Confident people like to make decisions. D. Confident people are more likely to argue with others. 39. The example in Paragraph 4 is given to show that ________. A. a confident person is usually the leader of a group B. a confident person is brave enough to fight against animals C. being social led humans to trust confident voices D. confident words can raise the unity of a tribe 40. What is Burnett’s worry? A. People are too quick to believe what others say. B. Information delivered confidently can be misleading. C. Being confident is not a good thing. D.
