One day of museum-hopping can take you from a former palace housing one of the world’s most significant artworks to the contemporary art galleries of the MuseumsQuartier. Kunsthistorisches Museum Although the museum is excellent, it is rarely overcrowded with visitors. If you visit at the right time, you can still be alone with Caravaggio. You can have a little dialogue with some of the biggest masterpieces. You can also take part in the museum’s mystery hunt — an adult treasure hunt through the Egyptian-Oriental collection. Belvedere Museum The Belvedere Museum is spread across several buildings, including two Baroque summer palaces that were built in the early 18th century. Between them are wide, landscaped gardens where visitors can jog, bike and simply wander. The entire complex is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that also happens to be home to one of the most famous paintings in the world: The Kiss by Gustav Klimt. ZOOM Children’s Museum The museum is located in the MuseumsQuartier. ZOOM includes an ocean-themed room for kids to play in, with a water mattress, colourful objects and a tunnel of mirrors; a studio where they can play with art supplies that would create a terrifying mess for their parents at home; and a room where little guests can make animated films and sounds. 1. What do we know about the Kunsthistorisches Museum? A. It was built in the early 18th century. B. It is free for teenagers and children. C. It is not always flooded with visitors. D. It is near the Vienna City Hall. 2. Which of the following houses the famous painting The Kiss? A. The Kunsthistorisches Museum. B. The ZOOM Children’s Museum. C. The Belvedere Museum. D. All of the above. 3. What is the feature of the ZOOM Children’s Museum? A. It offers some museum hunts. B. It houses some famous paintings. C. It allows visitors to jo g and bike. D. It offers kids entertainment programs. 【答案】1. C 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了维也纳的几个博物馆及其特色。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Although the museum is excellent, it is rarely overcrowded with visitors.(尽管这个博物馆非常出色，但它很少有游客过多的时候。)”可知，Kunsthistorisches Museum并不总是挤满了游客。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The entire complex is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that also happens to be home to one of the most famous paintings in the world: The Kiss by Gustav Klimt.(整个建筑群是一处联合国教科文组织世界遗产，也恰好是世界上最著名的画作之一：古斯塔夫•克林姆特的《吻》的存放地。)”可知，著名的画作《吻》存放在Belvedere Museum。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“ZOOM includes an ocean- themed room for kids to play in, with a water mattress, colourful objects and a tunnel of mirrors; a studio where they can play with art supplies that would create a terrifying mess for their parents at home; and a room where little guests can make animated films and sounds.(ZOOM包括一个海洋主题的房间供孩子们玩耍，里面有水床、彩色物品和镜子隧道；一个他们可以玩艺术用品的工作室，这些用品在家里会给他们的父母带来恐怖的混乱；以及一个小客人们可以制作动画电影和声音的房间。)”可知，ZOOM Children’s Museum提供儿童娱乐项目。故选D。 B My daughter was being thrown out of the sixth grade. The teacher said, “She may not be up to what we’re trying to accomplish.” He was really saying she didn’t have the intelligence. I got mad because I knew she was smart, just as my father had known I was smart when I was failing in school. We had her tested. I decided to get myself tested as well, and found that the troubles she was having were exactly what I had had — dyslexia. By then I was a successful television writer, and had won an Emmy Award for “The Rockford Files.” If I had known earlier that something beyond my control could explain why I was a low achiever, I may not have worked so hard in my late 20s and early 30s. I was writing and writing. I was working for no other reason than to hear people praise me, because I did badly in all my courses. I once asked a friend who had always gotten an A, “How long did you study for this?” He said, “I didn’t. I just glanced at it.” So he must be smarter. I began to ask, “What will happen to me when I’m not good at anything?” Despite my doubts, I did become successful, and people now say to me, “So you’ve overcome dyslexia.” No. You don’t overcome it, you learn to compensate for it. Some easy things are very hard for me. Most people who go through college read twice as fast as I do. I avoid dialing a phone if I can, because I sometimes have to try three times to get the number right. Despite my weaknesses I view dyslexia as a gift, not a curse (诅咒). Many dyslexics are good at right-brain, abstract thought, and that’s what my kind of creative writing is. And I can write quickly, and can get up to 15 pages a day. Writing is my strength. The real fear I have for dyslexic children is not they have to struggle in school, but that they will quit on themselves before they get out of school. Parents have to create victories for them, whether it’s music, sports or art. You can make your dyslexic child able to say, “Yeah, reading is hard. But I have other things I can do.” 4. The writer decided to get himself tested as well because he________. A. wanted to know if they had the same problem B. didn’t believe his daughter had the problem C. had to take a regular medical examination D. accepted that his daughter was not smart 5. We can learn from the second paragraph that the writer________. A. struggled and got better grades B. didn’t work hard when he was young C. was praised for overcoming dyslexia D. was thankful not knowing of dyslexia earlier 6. According to the passage, a dyslexic person________. A. is less intelligent B. always fails in school C. reads more slowly than normal people D. performs worse in left-brain activities 7 What can we learn from the story? A. Clumsy birds have to start flying early. B. God shuts one door but opens another. C. Never judge a person by his appearance. D. No one can make a good coat with bad cloth. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是记叙文。作者从女儿患读写困难症，谈到自己也有读写困难，但是作者通过自己的努力成为了一位成功的电视作家，并获得了艾米奖。作者认为读写困难不是诅咒，而是礼物。上帝给你关上一扇门的同时必然会为你打开一扇窗。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的We had her tested. I decided to get myself tested as well, and found that the troubles she was having were exactly what I had had — dyslexia.可知，作者和女儿一起做了检测，发现女儿的确有和作者曾经有的一样的问题——读写困难。因此推断，作者决定自己也做检查是因为他想要知道是否他和女儿有同样的问题。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的If I had known earlier that something beyond my control could explain why I was a low achiever, I may not have worked so hard in my late 20s and early 30s.(如果我早些时候知道一些超出我控制范围的事情可以解释为什么我是一个学渣，我可能在20多岁和30多岁的时候没有这么努力)可知，作者感激没有早知道有读写困难症。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的Most people who go through college read twice as fast as I do.(大多数读大学的人读得比我快两倍)可知，一个读写困难的人读得比正常人慢。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的Despite my weaknesses I view dyslexia as a gift, not a curse (诅咒). Many dyslexics are good at right-brain, abstract thought, and that’s what my kind of creative writing is. And I can write quickly, and can get up to 15 pages a day. Writing is my strength. (尽管我有弱点，但我认为诵读困难是一种礼物，而不是一种诅咒。 许多诵读困难者擅长右脑、抽象思维，这就是我的创造性写作。我能写得很快，每天最多能写15页。写作是我的力量)可推断，上帝给你关上一扇门的同时必然会为你打开一扇窗。故选B。 C On January 7th, 2022, David Bennett became the first person to have a heart transplanted successfully into him from a pig. On that occasion, mere operation success was the goal. This operation is a milestone for xenotransplantation (异种移植)— the transfer of organs from other species to human patients. For decades, researchers have attempted to deal with xenotransplantation’s basic problem. This is that the human body, when it recognizes foreign tissue, tends to turn against it. In the case of pigs, the most important marker of foreignness is a sugar molecule (分子) called alpha-Gal. While this molecule does not exist in humans, antibodies to kill it do. So no transplant from a pig with alpha-Gal would last more than a couple of minutes in a human body. In 2003 pigs were produced with a changed genome so as to prevent the enzyme (酶) responsible for making alpha-Gal. This was a step in the right direction, but other barriers popped up. The pig for David’s operation had a genome changed in ten ways to increase the chances of success. Three genes had been removed to reduce the risk of a human antibody rejecting the organ. A fourth, a growth gene, had also been knocked out, to ensure the heart did not enlarge after transplantation. And six human genes had been added to promote acceptance. There are other concerns. One is any unknown rejection mechanism. Another is the possibility that the organ may pass viruses to its new host. The pig in question was raised where there was no virus to reduce the chance of that, but it remains a possibility. In theory, pigs can be raised to provide humans with any solid organ, but some will be more complex than others. Moreover, even if these barriers can be overcome, most researchers still acknowledge that increasing xenotransplantation to meet the world’s demand for organs may take decades. After this news, however, the chances that it will happen eventually have increased. 8. What is the basic problem of xenotransplantation? A. The human body lacks alpha-Gal. B. The human body resists foreign tissues. C. The life of the transplanted organ is too short. D. The enzyme is prevented from making alpha-Gal. 9. Why was a growth gene removed in David’s case? A. Because it would change David’s genome. B. Because it would lead to heart enlargement. C Because it would make the heart more acceptable. D. Because it would be recognized by David’s antibodies. 10. What can we learn about the pig? A. It saved the patient’s life perfectly. B. It had a decreased number of genes. C. It had an unknown rejection mechanism. D. It was raised in a virus-free environment. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of xenotransplantation? A. Optimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Disturbed. D. Uncertain. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了全球首例异种移植手术成功，大卫·贝内特成为第一个从猪身上成功移植心脏的人。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“For decades, researchers have attempted to deal with xenotransplantation’s basic problem. This is that the human body, when it recognizes foreign tissue, tends to turn against it.”（几十年来，研究人员一直试图解决异种移植的基本问题。这就是当人体辨别出外来组织时，往往会抵抗外来组织。）可知，异种移植的基本问题是当人体辨别出外来组织时，往往会抵抗外来组织，由此可知，异种移植的基本障碍是人体抵抗（排斥）外来组织。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“A fourth, a growth gene, had also been knocked out, to ensure the heart did not enlarge after transplantation.”（第四个是生长基因，也被移除，以确保移植后心脏不会扩大。）可知，移除生长基因是为了确保移植后心脏不会扩大。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段关键句“The pig in question was raised where there was no virus to reduce the chance of that, but it remains a possibility.”（讨论中的那头猪是在没有病毒的地方饲养的，以减少感染的机会，但仍然有可能感染病毒。）可知，为了减少感染的机会，那头猪是在没有病毒的地方饲养的。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“Moreover, even these barriers can be overcome, most researchers still acknowledge that increasing xenotransplantation to meet the world’s demand for organs may take decades. After this news, however, the chances that it will happen eventually have increased.”（此外，即使这些障碍可以克服，大多数研究人员仍然承认，增加异种移植以满足世界对器官的需求可能需要几十年。然而，这一消息之后，最终发生的可能性增加了。）可知，作者认为，这次异种移植手术的成功，表明未来异种移植以满足世界对器官的需求的可能性增加了，由此可知，作者对异种移植的未来持乐观态度。故选A项。 D One of the greatest killers in the Western world is heart disease. The death rate from the disease has been increasing at an alarming speed for the past thirty years. Today in Britain, for example, about four hundred people a day die of heart disease. Medical experts know that people can reduce their chances of getting heart disease by exercising regularly, by not smoking, by changing their diets, and by paying more attention to reducing stress in their work. However, Western health-care systems are still not paying enough attention to the prevention of the disease. There is a need for more programs to educate the public about the causes and prevention of heart disease. Instead of supporting such programs, however, the U.S. health-care system is spending large sums of money on the surgical (外科的) treatment of the disease after it develops. This emphasis (强调) on treatment clearly has something to do with the technological advances that have taken place in the past ten to fifteen years. In this time, modern technology has enabled doctors to develop new surgical techniques. Many operations that were considered impossible or too risky a few years ago are now performed every day in U.S. hospitals. The result has been a huge increase in heart surgery. Although there is no doubt that heart surgery can help a large number of people, some people point out that the emphasis on the surgical treatment of the disease has three clear disadvantages. First, it attracts interest and money away from the question of prevention. Second, it causes the costs of general hospital care to rise. After hospitals buy the expensive equipment that is necessary for modern heart surgery, they must try to recover the money they have spent. To do this, they raise costs for all their patients, not just those patients whose treatment requires the equipment. The third disadvantage is that doctors are encouraged to perform surgery even on patients for whom an operation is unnecessary — because the equipment and expert skills are there. A government office recently stated that major heart surgery was often performed even though its chances of success were low. In one type of heart surgery, for example, only 15 percent of patients improved their conditions after the surgery. However, more than 100,000 of these operations are performed in the United States every year. 12. What effect has modern technology had on medicine? A. It has reduced the costs of medical treatment. B. It hasn’t helped save any patients. C. It has encouraged doctors to do more heart surgery. D. It has helped educate people about the prevention of heart disease. 13. What does the underlined word “recover” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Boost. B. Spring up. C. Get back. D. Absorb. 14. The author would agree that ______. A. more money should be spent on the prevention of heart disease B. heart surgery has helped most patients improve their conditions C. modern technology has made heart surgery more risky than before D. the public have known a great deal about the causes of heart disease 15. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. The Greatest Killer in the West B. Heart Disease: Treat or Prevent? C. Old Technology and Heart Surgery D. Heart Surgery: Advantages 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。西方世界最大的杀手之一是心脏病。作者认为应加强宣传心脏病的积极预防，而不是把重点放在手术治疗上，并强调手术治疗有三个明显的缺点。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In this time, modern technology has enabled doctors to develop new surgical techniques. Many operations that were considered impossible or too risky a few years ago are now performed every day in U.S. hospitals. The result has been a huge increase in heart surgery.(在这一时期，现代技术使医生们能够开发新的外科技术。许多几年前被认为是不可能或风险太大的手术，现在在美国医院每天都在进行。其结果是心脏手术数量的大幅增加。)”可知，现代医疗技术促使医生做更多的心脏手术。故选C。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词后面一句“To do this, they raise costs for all their patients, not just those patients whose treatment requires the equipment.(为此，他们提高了所有患者的花费，而不仅仅是那些需要设备治疗的患者。)”可知，医院提高了患者的医疗费用，由此可推测出“After hospitals buy the expensive equipment that is necessary for modern heart surgery, they must try to recover the money they have spent.”表示的是医院在购买了现代心脏手术所必需的昂贵设备后，他们必须设法收回所花的钱。recover指的是“收回”，与get back意思一致。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, Western health-care systems are still not paying enough attention to the prevention of the disease. There is a need for more programs to educate the public about the causes and prevention of heart disease.(然而，西方医疗保健系统对该病的预防仍然没有给予足够的重视。需要更多的项目来教育公众关于心脏病的原因和预防。)”可知，作者赞同把更多的钱花在预防心脏病上。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。本文在第一段论述了心脏病成为西方最大的杀手之一。整篇文章围绕心脏病的治疗还是预防展开论述，作者在第二段第二句话阐明了自己的观点：There is a need for more programs to educate the public about the causes and prevention of heart disease，即要花费更多的金钱来使公众了解心脏病发病的原因和预防的方法。因此B项“心脏病：治疗或预防?”作为标题最合适。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。 Since the old times, art has always been with us. Art has always been very important to people. It shows our feelings, ideas, and what we see around us. From the first simple cave drawings to the latest computer art, the way art has changed is a very interesting part of human history. ____16____ This was a time when art was really amazing. Artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo made art that went beyond what was done before. They made beautiful things that also showed a new way of looking at the human body, how things look from different angles, and how light works. But art is more than just pretty. Art isn’t just about looking nice. ____17____ In history, artists have used their art to ask questions about how society works, and to show they don’t agree with things. For instance, in times of significant social movements, art on walls and posters became a way for people to show they wanted changes. Art can make us think and inspire us to do different things. In the 1900s, artists started making abstract art. ____18____ Artists like Picasso and Wassily Kandinsky used shapes and colors in new ways to make us feel emotions and think about ideas without showing real things. How art grows also shows how technology gets better over time. ____19____ Digital art can be anything made with a computer or shown online. It has changed what we think art is. It also lets more people see and make art because you just need a computer to do it. Art serves as a universal medium for the exchange of ideas, transcending (超越) language and cultural barriers. It allows for a form of communication that is accessible to all. It is away of sharing ideas with everyone. ____20____ A. Take the oldest art as an example. B. Take the Renaissance as an example. C. People can understand it, no matter where they are from. D. It means they tried to paint a lot of pictures to make a living. E. This means they didn’t try to paint pictures of things we know. F. Nowadays, with computers and the Internet, art is changing again. G. It can also say important things about society and can help change things. 【答案】16. B 17. G 18. E 19. F 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。主要讲述了艺术在人类历史、社会、技术等方面的作用和意义，以及艺术如何随着时间和技术的发展而演变。 【16题详解】 分析设空，位于段首，为本段中心句，根据后文“This was a time when art was really amazing. Artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo made art that went beyond what was done before. They made beautiful things that also showed a new way of looking at the human body, how things look from different angles, and how light works.(这是一个艺术非常神奇的时代。像列奥纳多·达·芬奇和米开朗基罗这样的艺术家创造了超越以往的艺术。他们制作出美丽的东西，也展示了一种观察人体的新方法，从不同的角度观察事物，以及光是如何工作的)”可知，本段在讲述一个艺术非常神奇的时代，列奥纳多·达·芬奇和米开朗基罗是其中代表人物，应是文艺复兴时代，所以B项“Take the Renaissance as an example.(以文艺复兴为例)”符合文意，为本段中心句。故选B项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“But art is more than just pretty. Art isn’t just about looking nice.(但是艺术不仅仅是漂亮。艺术不仅仅是看起来漂亮)”以及后文“In history, artists have used their art to ask questions about how society works, and to show they don’t agree with things. For instance, in times of significant social movements, art on walls and posters became a way for people to show they wanted changes.(在历史上，艺术家们用他们的艺术来质疑社会是如何运作的，并表明他们不同意某些事情。例如，在重大的社会运动时期，墙上和海报上的艺术成为人们表达他们想要改变的一种方式)”可知，本段讲述了，艺术还能反映社会的重要情况，所以G项“It can also say important things about society and can help change things.(它也可以反映社会的重要情况，并有助于改变一些事情)”中的also承接上文，并引出下文，符合文意。故选G项。 【18题详解】 根据前文“Art can make us think and inspire us to do different things. In the 1900s, artists started making abstract art.(艺术可以让我们思考，激发我们做不同的事情。20世纪初，艺术家们开始创作抽象艺术)”可知，E项“This means they didn’t try to paint pictures of things we know.(这意味着他们没有试图描绘我们所知道的事物)”是对前文抽象艺术的解释，符合文意。故选E项。 【19题详解】 根据前文“How art grows also shows how technology gets better over time.(艺术的发展也显示了技术如何随着时间的推移而变得更好)”以及后文“Digital art can be anything made with a computer or shown online. It has changed what we think art is. It also lets more people see and make art because you just need a computer to do it.(数字艺术可以是任何用电脑制作或在网上展示的东西。它改变了我们对艺术的看法。它也让更多的人看到和创作艺术，因为你只需要一台电脑就可以做到)”可知，本段讲述了科技的进步对艺术的影响，尤其是电脑，所以F项“Nowadays, with computers and the Internet, art is changing again.(如今，有了电脑和互联网，艺术又在发生变化)”符合本段主题，承接上文，引出下文。故选F项。 【20题详解】 分析设空，位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“Art serves as a universal medium for the exchange of ideas, transcending (超越) language and cultural barriers. It allows for a form of communication that is accessible to all. It is away of sharing ideas with everyone.(艺术是一种超越语言和文化障碍的思想交流的普遍媒介。它允许一种所有人都可以访问的通信形式。这是一种与大家分享想法的方式)”可知，本段讲述艺术可以超越语言和文化障碍，让大家无障碍沟通，所以C项“People can understand it, no matter where they are from.(人们可以理解它，不管他们来自哪里)”符合主题，是对前文的总结。故选C项。 第三部分 语言运用(共三节，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。 At just 14 years old, Heman Bekele from Virginia stood out as the winner of the2023 Young Scientist Challenge.

Firstly, you need to be skilled at writing. The information ____37____(involve) in a complex story may come from dozens of sources. Good journalists need to organize all this information clearly to give ____38____ accurate account of what is happening. Secondly, you must have a natural curiosity about things that ____39____(happen), even though they may appear to be minor matters. When something newsworthy comes ____40____, it may escape the attention of ordinary people; ____41____, good journalists are sensitive enough ____42____(notice) the event and draw public attention to it. Finally, good journalists are committed to revealing the truth. To do this, journalists need to investigate an event ____43____(thorough). To sum up, being a good journalist ____44____(require) writing skills, curiosity and _____45_____(commit) to finding the truth. 【答案】36. priorities 37. involved 38. an 39. are happening##will happen 40. about 41. however 42. to notice 43. thoroughly 44. requires 45. commitment 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了成为一名优秀记者所需的潜质。 【36题详解】 考查名词的数。句意：要成为一名优秀的记者，有几件事你应该放在你的优先事项清单上。priority意为“优先事项”，为可数名词，这里表示泛指，且空前没有限定词，所以应用名词复数。故填priorities。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：一个复杂故事中涉及的信息可能来自几十个来源。本句的谓语是may come，所以空处应用非谓语动词。The information和involve之间是动宾关系，所以应用过去分词，作后置定语。故填involved。 【38题详解】 考查冠词。句意：优秀的记者需要清楚地组织所有这些信息，以准确描述正在发生的事情。give an accurate account of...意为“准确地描述……”。故填an。 【39题详解】 考查时态。句意：其次，你必须对（正在发生的事情）要发生的事情有天生的好奇心，即使它们看起来是小事。that引导定语从句，空处为谓语。这里表示正在发生的事情，也可表示即将发生的事情，可用现在进行时或一般将来时。故填are happening/will happen。 【40题详解】 考查短语。句意：当有新闻价值的事情发生时，它可能会逃过普通人的注意；然而，优秀的记者足够敏感，能够注意到这一事件并引起公众的关注。come about意为“发生”。故填about。 【41题详解】 考查副词。句意参考上题。“When something newsworthy comes ____5____, it may escape the attention of ordinary people”和“good journalists are sensitive enough ____7____(notice) the event and draw public attention to it”之间是转折关系，且空后有逗号，所以应用副词however，意为“然而”。故填however。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意参考第5题。adj.+enough+to do...意为“足够……以至于做……”。故填to notice。 【43题详解】 考查副词。句意：为此，记者需要彻底调查事件。空处应用副词，修饰动词investigate。thoroughly意为“彻底，完全”。故填thoroughly。 【44题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：总之，成为一名优秀的记者需要写作技巧、好奇心和寻找真相的投入。本句陈述的是一般事实，应用一般现在时，且主语being a good journalist为动名词短语，所以谓语应用单数，故填requires。 【45题详解】 考查名词。句意参考上题。空处与writing skills和curiosity并列，应用名词，commitment意为“奉献”，为不可数名词。故填commitment。 第三节 课文默写(共5小题;每小题1分，满分5分) 46. This open and ______ atmosphere allowed Li Bai the liberty to develop a free and unconstrained personality. (根据句意填空) 【答案】tolerant 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词。句意：这种开放和宽容的氛围使李白能够自由地发展出自由奔放的个性。根据句意可知，此处表示“宽容的”，应用形容词tolerant，作前置定语，修饰名词atmosphere。故填tolerant。 47. Fears grew that the number of deaths could reach 5, according to figures ______ by emergency services. (根据句意填空) 【答案】released 【解析】 【详解】考查动词。句意：根据紧急服务部门公布的数据，人们越来越担心死亡人数可能达到5人。根据句意可知用动词release，与figure构成被动关系，故用过去分词作定语。故填released。 48. The poem below, written in his fifties, ______ his romantic style. (根据句意填空) 【答案】is representative of 【解析】 【详解】考查时态和短语。句意：下面这首诗写在他五十多岁的时候，是他浪漫主义风格的代表。be representative of“代表”是固定短语，句中陈述客观事实，用一般现在时，主语是“The poem”，be动词用第三人称单数形式“is”,故填is representative of。 49. It is only natural to see that the majority of Li Bai’s poems ______ the romantic style. (根据句意填空) 【答案】are characterized by 【解析】 【详解】考查动词短语及时态。句意：李白的诗歌大多具有浪漫主义风格，这是很自然的。本空用固定短语be characterized by“具有……的特性，以……为特征”，本句描述一般事实，应用一般现在时，主语为the majority of Li Bai’s poems，be动词用are。故填are characterized by。 50. Equally impressive is Li Bai’s free expression of strong feelings, which breathes vitality into the lifeless objects he describes, and ______. (根据句意填空) 【答案】which distinguishes him from other landscape poets 【解析】 【详解】考查非限制性定语从句和短语。句意：同样令人印象深刻的是李白对强烈感情的自由表达，使他所描绘的无生命的物体充满活力，这是他与其他风景诗人的区别。根据题干要求，句子继续描述李白表达方式的独特之处，and连接两个成分相同的句子或词，因此空处也应使用非限制性定语从句，结合句意可知，此处可表示“与其他山水诗人区分开来”，可“使……有别于……”可使用固定短语distinguishes...from...，“山水诗人”可使用landscape poets，动词与前文一致使用第三人称单数形式。故填which distinguishes him from other landscape poets。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 51. 你校英文报正在开展学生使用拍照搜题类软件（snap-for-answers applications）的调查。请根据图表中的调查结果写一篇短文投稿，内容包括： 1.软件使用情况描述； 2.分析该现象的原因； 3.简要谈谈你的看法。 注意： 1.词数80左右； 2.短文开头已为你写好，不计入总词数。 As is shown in the survey conducted by our school’s English newspaper, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】As is shown in the survey conducted by our school’s English newspaper, the usage of snap-for-answers applications is on the rise among high school students, with 40% of freshmen, 60% of sophomores, and 80% of seniors using them. This trend can be attributed to the increasing academic pressure and the convenience offered by these apps. Additionally, some students may lack the necessary study support, leading them to rely on these tools.

The colorfully decorated window display held the best toys ever and some other things. And hey were all placed pleasantly beneath the breathtaking dress of Big Red. Mother’s eyes were glued to the massive flame of red satin(绸缎)，dotted with twinkling stars. “My goodness,"she managed to say in dreamlike wonder."Would you just look at that dress!"Then,totally out of character, mother unexpectedly danced on the slippery sidewalk. Beneath the heavy,grey wool coat that she had worm every winter for as long as I could remember,mother lost her balance and fell clumsily. Father quickly caught her. Her cheeks redder than usual, mother blamed dad for laughing."Oh,stop that!" she ordered, as my father swept the snow from her coat."What a silly dress to be displayed there in the window of Eaton's!" she shook her head in disbelief. "Who on earth would want such a brightly-colored dress? It is too expensive."As we continued to walk down the street, mother turned back for one more look."My goodness! You'd think they'd display something that a person could use!” Christmas was around the corner and the red dress was soon forgotten.Mother was not the one to wish for, or spend money on,things that were not practical."There are things we need more than this,"she'd always say, or,"There are things we need more than that." Father,on the other hand, liked to buy things whenever the budget allowed. Of course,he'd get a scolding for his occasional spending like this,but it was all done with the best intention. On our last trip to town before Christmas,we were driving up Main Street when mother suddenly exclaimed in surprise, “Would you just look at that!"She pointed excitedly as Dad drove past Eaton's."That big red dress is gone,” she said in disbelief. “It's actually gone." 注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dad looked quickly and smiled,"Yes,it is not there!” ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I'll never forget that Christmas morning when father handed mother a box. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Dad looked quickly and smiled, “Yes, it is not here!” “But who would like to buy that silly dress, which is neither practical nor cheap?” Mom marveled, but meanwhile both father and I could discern an inexplicable but conspicuous disappointment crept over her face. “Some romantic, reserved loving man might buy that for their wife.” Father winked slyly at mom and me from the rear mirror as if he were the secretive devoting husband he depicted. I will never forget that Christmas morning when father handed mother a box. “Ta da, the most silly gift for my princess!” father exclaimed, eyeing at his wife in a loving and expectant way. Mother, too stunned to speak, received the box with her trembling hands. Her palms sweating, throat tightening, mother’s hand slided through the red satin and lingered at the twinkling stars. “Oh, Tom, you shouldn’t have been that extravagant.” “No, baby, you deserve the highest honor and my passionate love on this Special Christmas.” 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物和大红裙子为线索展开，描述了作者一家雪中漫步时，在商店橱窗外，作者母亲第一次看到漂亮的大红裙子，被深深吸引的表情以及和家人谈论时故作不喜欢的样子。以及圣诞节前，作者一家再次进城时，母亲发现橱窗里的大红裙子不见时难以置信的表情。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“爸爸快速地看了看并微笑着说：是的，它不在这里!”可知，第一段可描写作者父亲神秘和狡黠的神情和动作以及母亲内心对于大红裙子不见了的惊讶与失望。 ②由第二段首句内容“我永远不会忘记那个圣诞节的早晨，父亲递给母亲一个盒子。”可知，第二段可描写作者父亲送出大红裙子时，对母亲的爱意与期待以及母亲收到礼物时的惊讶和激动之情。 2.续写线索：大雪中，橱窗里的大红裙子——圣诞节前，消失的大红裙子——红裙消失，母亲的失落与父亲的神秘——圣诞节，父亲的神秘礼物和母亲的惊讶与激动 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①一起走路：walking slowly through /walking along slowly ②责备：blame for/reproach/accuse 情绪类 ①失望：disappointment/regret/despair ②惊讶：disbelief/incredible 【点睛】[高分句型1].

One day of museum-hopping can take you from a former palace housing one of the world’s most significant artworks to the contemporary art galleries of the MuseumsQuartier. Kunsthistorisches Museum Although the museum is excellent, it is rarely overcrowded with visitors. If you visit at the right time, you can still be alone with Caravaggio. You can have a little dialogue with some of the biggest masterpieces. You can also take part in the museum’s mystery hunt — an adult treasure hunt through the Egyptian-Oriental collection. Belvedere Museum The Belvedere Museum is spread across several buildings, including two Baroque summer palaces that were built in the early 18th century. Between them are wide, landscaped gardens where visitors can jog, bike and simply wander. The entire complex is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that also happens to be home to one of the most famous paintings in the world: The Kiss by Gustav Klimt. ZOOM Children’s Museum The museum is located in the MuseumsQuartier. ZOOM includes an ocean-themed room for kids to play in, with a water mattress, colourful objects and a tunnel of mirrors; a studio where they can play with art supplies that would create a terrifying mess for their parents at home; and a room where little guests can make animated films and sounds. 1. What do we know about the Kunsthistorisches Museum? A. It was built in the early 18th century. B. It is free for teenagers and children. C. It is not always flooded with visitors. D. It is near the Vienna City Hall. 2. Which of the following houses the famous painting The Kiss? A. The Kunsthistorisches Museum. B. The ZOOM Children’s Museum. C. The Belvedere Museum. D. All of the above. 3. What is the feature of the ZOOM Children’s Museum? A. It offers some museum hunts. B. It houses some famous paintings. C. It allows visitors to jo g and bike. D. It offers kids entertainment programs. B My daughter was being thrown out of the sixth grade. The teacher said, “She may not be up to what we’re trying to accomplish.” He was really saying she didn’t have the intelligence. I got mad because I knew she was smart, just as my father had known I was smart when I was failing in school. We had her tested. I decided to get myself tested as well, and found that the troubles she was having were exactly what I had had — dyslexia. By then I was a successful television writer, and had won an Emmy Award for “The Rockford Files.” If I had known earlier that something beyond my control could explain why I was a low achiever, I may not have worked so hard in my late 20s and early 30s. I was writing and writing. I was working for no other reason than to hear people praise me, because I did badly in all my courses. I once asked a friend who had always gotten an A, “How long did you study for this?” He said, “I didn’t. I just glanced at it.” So he must be smarter. I began to ask, “What will happen to me when I’m not good at anything?” Despite my doubts, I did become successful, and people now say to me, “So you’ve overcome dyslexia.” No. You don’t overcome it, you learn to compensate for it. Some easy things are very hard for me. Most people who go through college read twice as fast as I do. I avoid dialing a phone if I can, because I sometimes have to try three times to get the number right. Despite my weaknesses I view dyslexia as a gift, not a curse (诅咒). Many dyslexics are good at right-brain, abstract thought, and that’s what my kind of creative writing is. And I can write quickly, and can get up to 15 pages a day. Writing is my strength. The real fear I have for dyslexic children is not they have to struggle in school, but that they will quit on themselves before they get out of school. Parents have to create victories for them, whether it’s music, sports or art. You can make your dyslexic child able to say, “Yeah, reading is hard. But I have other things I can do.” 4. The writer decided to get himself tested as well because he________. A. wanted to know if they had the same problem B. didn’t believe his daughter had the problem C. had to take a regular medical examination D. accepted that his daughter was not smart 5. We can learn from the second paragraph that the writer________. A. struggled and got better grades B. didn’t work hard when he was young C. was praised for overcoming dyslexia D. was thankful not knowing of dyslexia earlier 6. According to the passage, a dyslexic person________. A. is less intelligent B. always fails in school C. reads more slowly than normal people D. performs worse in left-brain activities 7. What can we learn from the story? A. Clumsy birds have to start flying early. B. God shuts one door but opens another. C. Never judge a person by his appearance. D. No one can make a good coat with bad cloth. C On January 7th, 2022, David Bennett became the first person to have a heart transplanted successfully into him from a pig. On that occasion, mere operation success was the goal. This operation is a milestone for xenotransplantation (异种移植)— the transfer of organs from other species to human patients. For decades, researchers have attempted to deal with xenotransplantation’s basic problem. This is that the human body, when it recognizes foreign tissue, tends to turn against it. In the case of pigs, the most important marker of foreignness is a sugar molecule (分子) called alpha-Gal. While this molecule does not exist in humans, antibodies to kill it do. So no transplant from a pig with alpha-Gal would last more than a couple of minutes in a human body. In 2003 pigs were produced with a changed genome so as to prevent the enzyme (酶) responsible for making alpha-Gal. This was a step in the right direction, but other barriers popped up. The pig for David’s operation had a genome changed in ten ways to increase the chances of success. Three genes had been removed to reduce the risk of a human antibody rejecting the organ. A fourth, a growth gene, had also been knocked out, to ensure the heart did not enlarge after transplantation. And six human genes had been added to promote acceptance. There are other concerns. One is any unknown rejection mechanism. Another is the possibility that the organ may pass viruses to its new host. The pig in question was raised where there was no virus to reduce the chance of that, but it remains a possibility. In theory, pigs can be raised to provide humans with any solid organ, but some will be more complex than others. Moreover, even if these barriers can be overcome, most researchers still acknowledge that increasing xenotransplantation to meet the world’s demand for organs may take decades.

D One of the greatest killers in the Western world is heart disease. The death rate from the disease has been increasing at an alarming speed for the past thirty years. Today in Britain, for example, about four hundred people a day die of heart disease. Medical experts know that people can reduce their chances of getting heart disease by exercising regularly, by not smoking, by changing their diets, and by paying more attention to reducing stress in their work. However, Western health-care systems are still not paying enough attention to the prevention of the disease. There is a need for more programs to educate the public about the causes and prevention of heart disease. Instead of supporting such programs, however, the U.S. health-care system is spending large sums of money on the surgical (外科的) treatment of the disease after it develops. This emphasis (强调) on treatment clearly has something to do with the technological advances that have taken place in the past ten to fifteen years. In this time, modern technology has enabled doctors to develop new surgical techniques. Many operations that were considered impossible or too risky a few years ago are now performed every day in U.S. hospitals. The result has been a huge increase in heart surgery. Although there is no doubt that heart surgery can help a large number of people, some people point out that the emphasis on the surgical treatment of the disease has three clear disadvantages. First, it attracts interest and money away from the question of prevention. Second, it causes the costs of general hospital care to rise. After hospitals buy the expensive equipment that is necessary for modern heart surgery, they must try to recover the money they have spent. To do this, they raise costs for all their patients, not just those patients whose treatment requires the equipment. The third disadvantage is that doctors are encouraged to perform surgery even on patients for whom an operation is unnecessary — because the equipment and expert skills are there. A government office recently stated that major heart surgery was often performed even though its chances of success were low. In one type of heart surgery, for example, only 15 percent of patients improved their conditions after the surgery. However, more than 100,000 of these operations are performed in the United States every year. 12. What effect has modern technology had on medicine? A. It has reduced the costs of medical treatment. B. It hasn’t helped save any patients. C. It has encouraged doctors to do more heart surgery. D It has helped educate people about the prevention of heart disease. 13 What does the underlined word “recover” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Boost. B. Spring up. C. Get back. D. Absorb. 14. The author would agree that ______. A. more money should be spent on the prevention of heart disease B. heart surgery has helped most patients improve their conditions C. modern technology has made heart surgery more risky than before D. the public have known a great deal about the causes of heart disease 15. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. The Greatest Killer in the West B. Heart Disease: Treat or Prevent? C. Old Technology and Heart Surgery D. Heart Surgery: Advantages 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。 Since the old times art has always been with us. Art has always been very important to people.

The colorfully decorated window display held the best toys ever and some other things. And hey were all placed pleasantly beneath the breathtaking dress of Big Red. Mother’s eyes were glued to the massive flame of red satin(绸缎)，dotted with twinkling stars. “My goodness,"she managed to say in dreamlike wonder."Would you just look at that dress!"Then,totally out of character, mother unexpectedly danced on the slippery sidewalk. Beneath the heavy,grey wool coat that she had worm every winter for as long as I could remember,mother lost her balance and fell clumsily. Father quickly caught her. Her cheeks redder than usual, mother blamed dad for laughing."Oh,stop that!" she ordered, as my father swept the snow from her coat."What a silly dress to be displayed there in the window of Eaton's!" she shook her head in disbelief. "Who on earth would want such a brightly-colored dress? It is too expensive."As we continued to walk down the street, mother turned back for one more look."My goodness! You'd think they'd display something that a person could use!” Christmas was around the corner and the red dress was soon forgotten.Mother was not the one to wish for, or spend money on,things that were not practical."There are things we need more than this,"she'd always say, or,"There are things we need more than that." Father,on the other hand, liked to buy things whenever the budget allowed. Of course,he'd get a scolding for his occasional spending like this,but it was all done with the best intention. On our last trip to town before Christmas,we were driving up Main Street when mother suddenly exclaimed in surprise, “Would you just look at that!"She pointed excitedly as Dad drove past Eaton's."That big red dress is gone,” she said in disbelief. “It's actually gone." 注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dad looked quickly and smiled,"Yes,it is not there!” ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I'll never forget that Christmas morning when father handed mother a box. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
