American cyclist Lael Wilcox is claiming the record for the fastest woman to bike around the world.
The 38- year- old started her journey in Chicago on May 26 and ended it in Chicago on September 11, riding 18,125miles over the course of 108 days, 12 hours and 12 minutes. Her record has yet to be certified by Guinness World Records, but it would beat by more than two weeks the previous record of 124 days and 11 hours set by Scottish cyclist Jenny Graham in 2018.
Wilcox’s first leg of the trip was a week riding from Chicago to New York City. Then she flew to Portugal, spending a month riding east through Europe. Next it was a flight to Australia. Then she spent a week biking through New Zealand, and afterward it was back to North America. She landed in Alaska and rode from Anchorage through western Canada and down the US West Coast, before heading east through the Southwest and back to Chicago. Riding 18,125miles over 3 months means averaging over 166 miles a day. Sometimes she rode more than 200.And the world is not flat. Wilcox climbed a total of 629,880 vertical(垂直的)feet on her bike— equal to climbing the height of Mount Everest more than 21 times.
Wilcox is no stranger to long bike rides. She has been doing extreme long- distance racing since 2015, when she set the women’s record in the Tour Divide race. This time, she knew it was going to be a “pretty tiring effort”, but she could still meet people gathering along her way, offering drinks and treats.
“I’d be through a distant area like British Columbia where, you know, there’s nobody out there. I saw, like, eight bears. And then I got closer to a town, and all of a sudden people started showing up, you know—a family with two kids and another guy that brought me cookies and a nurse coming out from a clinic just to say hello. I was so grateful to have such a life experience.”
Wilcox was busy— on her bike ride. “There’s nothing else I’d rather do. I am thankful for whatever happened on the way, which is fascinating and makes my trip wonderful.”
24.What do we know about Lael Wilcox?
A.She is awarded by Guinness. B.She always holds the record.

D.She cycled all the way across four continents.
26.Why does Wilcox want to go on her bike ride?

C.She can experience chance encounters. D.She can make friends on the way.
27.Which of the following can best describe Wilcox?
A.Brave and patient. B.Determined and thankful.

Fantasy author George R. R. Martin has officially spent 12 years working on The Winds of Winter, the long- awaited sixth part in the series that excited the book fans. With no publishing date in sight, one tech- savvy(精通科技的)fan decided to write the story himself, or rather, he asked ChatGPT to write it for him. Surprisingly, the AI quickly produced a 683,276- word work of high quality. But this raises an important question: Can AI programs like ChatGPT really produce the kind of writing that moves us and speaks to our souls?
“I think there is a misunderstanding that large language models like ChatGPT are not very good at writing in a prose(散文)style,” An author Sean Michaels tells BBC. “In fact, they can do it easily and quite well, just like all the image- generating(生成)software can do things like making photos in the styles of Wes Anderson or David Lynch.”
For his novel Do You Remember Being Born, in which a poet is approached by a tech company to co- author a collection of poems with their AI, Michaels created a special type of ChatGPT he called “Moorebot”, which through training learned to write in the style of real- world poet Marianne Moore, further making the distinction between human and machine unclear.
Although some writers oppose the rise of AI out of concern for their employability, others have put the debate in an older, broader dialogue on the meaning and purpose of art. The Oscar- winning screenwriter Charlie Kaufman has openly expressed his dislike of machine learning. Looking beyond the standard definition of creativity- creating something new and original— Kaufman describes art as any form of expression that establishes an emotional connection between people.
Even if AI were capable of writing something emotional, which Michaels claimed it can, Kaufman would refuse to recognise this as art because it cannot establish a link between reader and author.“ If I read a poem,” he recently said in a statement on AI, “and that poem moves me. I am in love with the person who wrote it. I can’t be in love with a computer program. I can’t, because it isn’t anything.”
28.Why did the tech- savvy fan of The Winds of Winter decide to write the story with ChatGPT?
A.To help Martin finish the series. B.To meet the needs of book fans.
C.To evaluate the ability of ChatGPT. D.To pose an important question on AI.
29.What is the attitude of Sean Michael towards AI programs?
A.Unconcerned. B.Favourable. C.Doubtful. D.Unclear.
30.Which of the following can be considered as art according to Charlie Kaufman?
A.An Al- generated painting. B.A perfect copy of Wes Anderson’s.
C.The tech fan’s 683,276- word work. D.A 6- year- old girl’s drawing to her mum.
31.What can be the best title of the text?
A.The Fading of Great Poets. B.Can AI Create True Art?
C.The Rise and Fall of AI Programs D.Can Hi- Tech Have a Promising Future?
D
In 2020 sailors off the Iberian Peninsula began reporting that orcas(虎鲸)were “attacking” their boats. The five- ton heavy fish, capable of swimming at 48km/h— faster than most ships and boats— were approaching, investigating, and throwing itself towards the boats, frightening those on board.
Since then, over 670 interactions like this have been recorded, all by a group of about 15orcas. About a fifth resulted in severe damage, scores of boats were disabled and six boats sunk. A group of experts rapidly gathered and in May they gave their conclusion. The orcas aren’t attacking. Instead, according to the experts, the whales may be bored and playing with the boats. Our boats may just be part of a “craze” in their culture.
Dr Patrick R Hof has handled hundreds of whales’ brains. “A human brain is about1.3kg, while an orca brain,” says Hof, “is about 5kg.”A real big one. When Hof and colleagues examined whales’ brains using a Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scanner(磁共振成像扫描器), they found that they were “highly unusual... organised in a pattern basically different from that seen in the brains of humans.” Part of the reason for that difference is because toothed whales have so many unique brain functions, from sleeping with half of their brain awake in order to avoid drowning(溺水), to finding directions and mapping their world. From a biological viewpoint, Hof thinks orca brains look capable of behaviour such as learning to play with boats.
The scientific agreement is that we shouldn’t call the interactions “attacks”. Online news reports and videos have already appeared of sailors firing guns at orcas. One group of experts issued a letter urging the media to avoid projecting stories onto the animals, as how we decipher them has a big effect on their lives— it could save them or it could drive them to extinction faster. “We should keep cool heads” and “not punish wildlife for being wild”, they wrote.
Whatever happens, perhaps we can’t ever hope to fully understand orca behaviour, because their world is water, changing, adaptable. We’re observing a society in development.
32.How does the author introduce the topic of the passage?
A.By contrasting distinct species.
B.By defining characteristics of orcas.
C.By illustrating the seriousness of boats.
D.By presenting the case of orcas “attack”.
33.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.The extraordinarily heavy brains of whales.
B.The technique used in examining whales’ brains.
C.The scientific explanation for orcas “attack”.
D.The biological analysis of orca’s living patterns.
34.What does the underlined word “decipher” in paragraph 4mean?
A.Protect. B.Strike. C.Uplift. D.Understand.
35.What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To draw the public’s attention to orcas.
B.To warn sailors of keeping away from orcas.
C.To appeal to the public to treat orca s properly.
D.To clarify a misunderstanding about“craze” culture.
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。
You’re probably not surprised to learn that the typical person spends 90% of their time indoors. But here’s something obvious yet shocking to think about— an entire 1/3 of your life is spent in just one room— your bedroom. 36 . But it turns out that there are many other environmental factors that impact how well you sleep.
Train your brain and make this the sleep room. This sounds obvious enough, but you do really need to set yourself up for sleep success by making your bedroom a zone of relaxation, not stimulation(刺激). That means removing things that activate the brain, like your cell phone. 37 . Train your brain that this room is for sleep and relaxation.
38 . This excites your brain, even for several hours after you turn it off. Remove anything that can send out blue light, and have a bulb(灯泡)that can change the light intensity for a more sleep- inducing warm light. Once you’ re asleep, give your body the best chance to stay asleep by using room darkening shades or sleep mask to block out the light.
We breathe about 11,000 liters of air every day; a third of all that air you breathe will be in your bedroom. 39 . This kind of device will help to take in dust in the air; particularly you live close to a busy road or in an area with poor outdoor air pollution. When the outdoor air quality is particularly bad, consider keeping your windows closed. In cold, dry seasons consider using a humidifier(加湿器)—a higher humidity level is good for your skin and health. 40 .
A.And remember not to work in the bedroom.
B.As we fall asleep, our bodies begin to lose heat.
C.Besides, it will decrease the survival times of flu in the air.
D.You can add or remove your blankets to find your comfort zone.
E.Consider adding environmental control systems like air cleaners.
F.As you’re winding down at night, block out any blue light in your room.
G.Thinking of your bedroom, you probably want to get a pillow and have a sound sleep.

Last year, I accompanied my husband to Chicago.
On one of our last afternoons there, I visited the Art Institute of Chicago, even though I was not 41 a museumgoer. I picked up a map and gallery 42 at the entrance. The categories didn’t mean much to me and left me feeling lost. Where to 43 ?
For no good reason, I walked into the contemporary art gallery. To be honest, everything hanging on the walls was a 44 to me. Trying to seem 45 like the other visitors, I feared the confused look on my face gave me away. I raised my head a little in front of a painting and 46 that someone was standing beside me.
“Isn’t it fascinating?” she said.
I looked down at the elderly lady. She was 47 , not even five feet tall. “It is fascinating,” I 48 , turning back to the artist’s touch on the canvas(画布),“ but I don’t really know anything about art—”
“My name’s Sylvia,” she 49 . “I’ll give you the grand tour!”
Sylvia guided me to 50 she called extraordinary, dreamlike and magical. She spoke of them as if they were old 51 , each of them expressing something very specific. Her enthusiasm and kindness put me 52 . I found that some of the artworks spoke to me as well. Sylvia inspired me to reach beyond what I thought I could understand.
Fortunately, I was 53 for Sylvia’s appearance. She made me feel the kindness from 54 and opened up the door of 55 that I’d never known before.

Eighth grade meant a new classroom and a new teacher, but I seldom noticed the change. As far as I was concerned, a classroom was a classroom. I longed to be outside. My teachers didn’t appreciate caves, running waters and wild bears any more than I appreciated maths, history and good writing. My report cards always included notes, like “Douglas needs to apply himself instead of looking out the window.”
My parents tried their best with me, but school hadn’t been a big part of their lives either. It seemed there were two kinds of people in the world: those who belonged in the classroom and those who belonged in the mountains. The teacher, Miss Cook, seemed to know which one I was and had put me as far away from the window as possible.
“Douglas Clark.” The sound of my name kept me out of my daydreaming. Miss Cook had appeared at my side without my even knowing. “I think you should stay after school and share more of your daydreams.”
As soon as the bell rang, I took out my notebook to get a head start on writing “I will be focused on study”200 times. But Miss Cook had something else in mind. She called me to the front and told me to sit facing her. “I want you to tell me what you love about the world outside that window,” she said.
I was so surprised that for a long moment I didn’t know what to say. Who was this person—a teacher— asking me about my distraction! Was she setting some kind of trap? I started out carefully and played it safe with my statements. But Miss Cook really seemed interested. She listened and even smiled as I told her about my world. How if you sat quietly long enough, young animals would come up close and let you touch them. Like water from a spring, my memories flowed. For the first time in my life, I didn’t want the school day to end.
“I have a task for you tonight,” Miss Cook said as I prepared to leave. “I’d like you to write a 100- word story about the outdoor adventure you enjoyed most.”
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。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了被联合国教科文组织评为“美食之都”的亚洲城市——成都。
56.考查动词的时态。句意:2010年,它成为第一个被联合国教科文组织评为“美食之都”的亚洲城市。根据下文的in 2010可知,本句的时态应该是一般过去时,所以空格处应该用提示词的过去式形式。故填became。
57.考查非谓语动词。句意:古老的寺庙、传统的小巷和历史悠久的建筑为你打开了一扇通往古代中国的窗户,带你进入一个过去令人印象深刻的美丽世界。分析句式结构可知,此处用非谓语动词作状语,又因为take和主语之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词作状语。故填taking。
58.考查形容词。句意:转型为科技、创新和发展中心,这座城市有雄心勃勃的计划,要成为中国西南地区的科学城。分析句式结构可知,修饰名词应该用形容词,所以此处用提示词的形容词性形式ambitious作定语修饰名词plan表示“雄心勃勃的”计划。故填ambitious。
59.考查介词。句意:这座城市以辛辣食物而闻名,大胆的口味和数百年的烹饪传统融合在一起,为您提供愉悦所有感官的用餐体验。根据空格前的known可知,此处用介词for构成固定短语be known for表示“因……而闻名”故填for。
60.考查定语从句。句意:同上。分析句式结构可知,此处是定语从句,先行词experiences是物,且从句中缺少主语,所以用关系代词that或which来引导。故填that/which。
61.考查冠词。句意:成都最受欢迎的食物,如麻婆豆腐和火锅,是一场味觉盛宴。分析句意可知,此处是泛指“一场”味觉盛宴,且feast发音以辅音音素开头,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
62.考查非谓语动词。句意:放在餐桌上的热源使一锅汤料沸腾,锅旁摆放着各种中国食品和食材,供食客放入热汤料中。分析句式结构可知,此处用非谓语动词作后置定语,又因为place和source之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填placed。
63.考查名词。句意:同上。根据上文a variety of和下文的are可知,此处应该用名词复数形式与Chinese foodstuffs并列作主语。故填ingredients。
64.考查动词不定式。句意:这次运动会不仅是展示成都体育精神、世界一流的基础设施、热情和组织能力的机会,也是促进友谊和跨文化理解的机会。分析句式结构可知,此处用动词不定式作后置定语修饰名词opportunity表示“做某事的机会”。故填to show。
65.考查名词。句意:同上。根据下文的名词skill可知,此处因该用提示词的名词形式warmth与前后的名词构成并列关系。故填warmth。
第四部分 写作
第一节
【参考范文】
A Cultural Exchange Activity
Last Thursday, a group consisting of 12 British students came to our school to participate in a cultural exchange activity.
During the activity, we talked with each other about the similarities and differences between British culture and Chinese culture.Then some students from our school performed Beijing Opera, tai chi and paper cutting. In return, British students made a wonderful presentation of British afternoon tea and their typical table manners.
There is no doubt that the activity was a cultural feast for all participants, which provided a golden opportunity to broaden our horizons and enrich our knowledge.
第二节
【参考范文】
That night, I couldn’t wait to get started on my task. The first draft of my paper, like most of my homework, was hard to read. So I started again, printing carefully this time. I wanted Miss Cook to be able to read every word. Everything else disappeared as I painted a picture for my writing. At last, I filled two pages imagining Miss Cook’s face as she read my story. And that became true the next day. “This story was wonderfully told!” She said. “I would love to read another!”
Miss Cook read dozens of my stories that year. Sometimes she asked questions if she wanted more details. I started asking questions too. I raised my hand in class when I didn’t fully understand what Miss Cook was saying. I discovered that school learning could be as interesting as what nature had to teach me. My parents stopped getting those “Douglas this, Douglas that” notes. In the mountains or in the classroom, she was there to set my imagination flying.
