Now every aspect of her life is environmentally friendly, from her son Adam’s birthday parties to her clothing, and she recycles everything from empty pens to milk bottle tops. “Changing our family lifestyle to green has saved us around ￡11,000 every year, which has given us more financial stability,” Carrie says. “Living green has made us healthier and I feel younger now. It is fun seeing what you can make with unwanted or broken things. Growing your own food is great exercise, good for wildlife, and the food is much more nutritious and tastier.” “My concern for the way we humans are treating the planet was really roused when Adam was born. When he arrived, I suddenly had this huge, greater awareness of the kind of planet we’re bringing our children into though I learnt something about it in university.” She began going to talks, reading books, watching documentaries and attending green meetings in order to educate herself in the details of green living. Carrie set up the local campaign group Sussex Green Living six years after her son’s birth. Later, she gave up her high-powered job, as she ran a video company with her brother, to do her job full-time. Today, she organizes talks and workshops. She runs a repair cafe, where people can bring everything to be fixed. Her recycling program helps people reuse wastes. Toothpaste tubes, for example, which Carrie sends to the Philippines, are turned into purses by an organization. “My goal is to inspire more people to lead greener, more environmentally friendly lives, to enable us to live in greater harmony with nature, now and for future organizations. I achieve this using various Sussex Green Living communication programs and working with other organizations who have the same goals and values.” 24. How did Carrie feel about her environmentally friendly lifestyle? A. Unwanted. B. Unhealthy. C. Expensive. D. Economical. 25. Which of the following is true about Carrie? A. She made good preparations for living green. B. She recycled what people ignored for fun. C. She does daily exercise by growing food. D. She majored in planet protection in university. 26. What does Carrie rely on to make her achievements? A. Her repair cafe and workshops. B. Her own programs and others’ work. C. Her well-paid job and her brother’s support. D. Her independence of realizing her green dream. 27. When did Carrie begin to form her environmentally friendly lifestyle? A. After winning an award. B. After giving birth to her son. C. After being stuck in poverty. D. After attending green meetings 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了英国51岁的母亲Carrie Cort和她9岁的儿子因在环保方面取得的成就获奖，被评为英国最环保的家庭。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““Changing our family lifestyle to green has saved us around ￡11, 000 every year, which has given us more financial stability,” Carrie says.(“改变我们的家庭生活方式为绿色，每年为我们节省11000英镑，这使得我们的财政稳定，”Carrie说)”可知，Carrie认为自己环保的生活方式可以节省钱，是经济的。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“She began going to talks, reading books, watching documentaries and attending green meetings in order to educate herself in the details of green living.(她开始参加讲座、读书、看纪录片和参加绿色会议，以了解绿色生活的细节)”可知，Carrie为自己的绿色生活做了充分的准备。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Carrie set up the local campaign group Sussex Green Living six years after her son’s birth.(Carrie在儿子出生六年后成立了当地Sussex Green Living运动组织)”以及“I achieve this using various Sussex Green Living communication programs and working with other organizations who have the same goals and values.(我通过使用各种各样的Sussex Green Living交流计划，并与其他有着相同目标和价值观的组织合作，实现了这一目标)”可知，通过自己成立的组织以及和别人共同合作的努力，Carrie取得了成就。故选B。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“My concern for the way we humans are treating the planet was really roused when Adam was born. When he arrived, I suddenly had this huge, greater awareness of the kind of planet we’re bringing our children into though I learnt something about it in university.(当亚当出生时，我对我们人类对待这个星球的方式的担忧真的被唤醒了。当他出生时，尽管我在大学里学到了一些东西，但我突然对我们带孩子进入的星球有了更大的认识)”可知，Carrie在生下儿子后，对人类对待地球的方式产生担忧，开始养成环保的生活方式。故选B。 C Competitive eating has become big business. The International Federation of Competitive Eating (IFOCE) holds events for competitive eating all around the world. One of the most popular contests (竞赛) is held every 4th of July on Coney Island in New York. Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest started in 1916 and the event has been dominated (占据优势) by Takeru Kobayashi. The Japanese competitor set his first record in 2001, when he ate 50 hot dogs in 12 minutes and has won the contest six years in a row. The main types of food eaten in the contests are fast food. Hot dogs, chicken wings, pickles, corndogs and pizza are main foods of the contests. The contests usually last from around 8 to 12 minutes. Now most of the competitors are men, but there are also women who take part in competitive eating. Being large and overweight isn’t necessarily an advantage in competitive eating. The biggest advantage a competitor can have is the ability to actually stretch (扩张) their stomach. Many competitors will drink plenty of water over a period of time in order to achieve this. Apart from having an unusually stretchable stomach, another important thing seems to be hand to mouth speed. The IFOCE has very strict safety guidelines laid out regarding competitive eating. Competitions must take place in a controlled area and only competitors over the age of 18 are allowed to enter. They also advise against any type of home training. There has been much talk regarding the inclusion of competitive eating as an Olympic sport. Although the IFOCE has talked about that with the Olympic committee, it seems that they will not agree to it at present. 28. Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest _____. A. has a history of over 200 years B. takes place once a year in Japan C. is becoming less popular than before D. has made Takeru Kobayashi famous 29. What do we know about eating contests? A. Fast food is the only type of food. B. They usually last ten minutes or so. C. Only men are allowed to enter a contest. D. They are open to competitors of all ages. 30. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. How to win an eating contest. B. The history of competitive eating. C. Safety guidelines from the IFOCE. D. The disadvantages of eating too much. 31. What’s the main purpose of the text? A. To report. B. To advertise. C. To introduce. D. To warn. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了竞吃比赛的有关情况。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段中的“The Japanese competitor set his first record in 2001 ... has won the contest six years in a row”可知，Takeru Kobayashi在美国纽约的内森国际吃热狗大赛上连夺六届冠军，这使得他名声远扬。故D选项正确。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中的“The contests usually last from around 8 to 12 minutes”可知，竞吃比赛通常持续十分钟左右。故B选项正确。 【30题详解】 段落大意题。由第三段“The biggest advantage a competitor can have is the ability to actually stretch (扩张) their stomach. Many competitors will drink plenty of water over a period of time in order to achieve this. Apart from having an unusually stretchable stomach, another important thing seems to be hand to mouth speed.”可知，竞争对手最大的优势是能够真正伸展自己的胃。为了实现这一目标，许多竞争对手将在一段时间内饮用大量的水。除了有一个异常可伸缩的胃，另一个重要的事情似乎是手到嘴的速度。所以本段主要说明了在比赛中获胜需要具备的优势条件。故A选项正确。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，短文主要介绍了竞吃比赛受欢迎的程度，比赛中吃的主要食物、参赛人员的性别、比赛中获胜需要具备的优势条、竞争性饮食的安全指南。所以作者写这篇短文的目的就是要介绍竞吃比赛的有关情况。故C选项正确。 D After waking up, you may feel frustrated that you cannot recall the dreams you had last night. Artificial intelligence may be able to help. Previously, there have been AI models that can turn text into images. They can do this by learning from a large amount of data from both tests and images. This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to recreate images based on people’s brain scans, reported Science magazine. The researchers used an online data set provided by the University of Minnesota, US, which consisted of brain scans from four participant as they each viewed a set of 1,000 photos. The scans were recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI). The AI then learned about the brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the fMRI data: when a part of the brain is activated, more blood will flow to it. It then matched the brain activities with the photos. Finally, the researchers tested the AI on additional brain scans from the same participants when they viewed photos of a toy bear, airplane, clock and train. If the person looked at an airplane, for example, the AI would use the brain scan data to create an image of a very blurry airplane. Then , it would turn on the previous “text-to-image” model and improve the quality of the image by feeding itself the keyword “airplane”. The final images were “convincing” with about 80 percent of accuracy, according to the researchers. The new study created a novel approach that incorporates texts and images to “decipher the brain”, Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University, US, told Science magazine. In the future, scientists hope that the technology can be used to record imagined thought and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive reality. 32. What makes Stable Diffusion different from previous AI models? A. It can turn text into images. B. It can reproduce images based on human’s brain scans. C. It can learn from a large amount of date. D. It assist people recollect their previous memory. 33. How did the researchers test the AI if it can recreate image? A. On additional brain scans from the same participants when they saw photos. B. They analyzed changes in blood flow. C. They used functional magnetic resonance imaging. D. They analyzed the date. 34. What is the meaning of “decipher” in the last paragraph? A. Know about. B.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了一个名为“Stable Diffusion”的人工智能系统，该系统可以根据人们的脑部扫描结果重建图像。未来可能用于记录想象的思想和梦想，或者让人们了解其他动物对现实的感知有何不同。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“This time,  researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to recreate images based on people’s brain scans”（这次，日本大阪大学的研究人员训练了一个名为Stable Diffusion的AI系统，该系统可以根据人的大脑扫描重建图像）可知，Stable Diffusion与以前的AI模型不同之处在于，它可以根据人的大脑扫描重建图像。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Finally, the researchers tested the AI on additional brain scans from the same participants when they viewed photos of a toy bear, airplane, clock and train.”（最后，研究人员在同一参与者观看玩具熊、飞机、时钟和火车的照片时，对AI进行了额外的大脑扫描测试。）可知，研究人员通过在同一参与者观看照片时对AI进行额外的大脑扫描测试，来测试AI是否可以重建图像。故选A。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章倒数第二段中“The scans were recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI). The AI then learned about the brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the fMRI data: when a part of the brain is activated, more blood will flow to it. It then matched the brain activities with the photos. ”（这些扫描是通过功能性磁共振成像 (fMRI) 记录的。然后，人工智能通过分析 fMRI 数据显示的血流变化来了解大脑活动：当大脑的某个部分被激活时，更多的血液会流向该部分。然后，它将大脑活动与照片进行匹配。）和划线单词所在句子“The new study created a novel approach that incorporates texts and images to “decipher the brain””（这项新研究创造了一种结合文本和图像来“decipher大脑”的新方法）可知，这项新研究了解了大脑活动，由此可知，这项研究创造了一种结合文本和图像来“了解大脑”的新方法。所以“decipher”在这里的意思是“了解”。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，特别是第二段“This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to recreate images based on people’s brain scans, reported Science magazine.”（日本大阪大学的研究人员训练了一个名为Stable Diffusion的AI系统，该系统可以根据人的大脑扫描重建图像）和根据文章最后一段“In the future, scientists hope that the technology can be used to record imagined thought and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive reality.”（在未来，科学家希望这项技术可以用来记录想象的思想和梦想，或者让人们了解其他动物对现实的感知有何不同。）可知，文章主要讲述了日本大阪大学的研究人员训练了一个名为Stable Diffusion的AI系统，该系统可以根据人的大脑扫描重建图像，未来可能用于记录想象的思想和梦想，或者让人们了解其他动物对现实的感知有何不同。因此，最佳标题应为“想象我们的梦想”。故选D。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） ____36____ Maybe it’s a walk in a forest, having a small garden or a few household plants.

B A mother, Carrie Cort, 51, from Sussex, and her nine-year-old son have been named the UK’s most environmentally friendly family after winning an award for their environmental achievements. Now every aspect of her life is environmentally friendly, from her son Adam’s birthday parties to her clothing, and she recycles everything from empty pens to milk bottle tops. “Changing our family lifestyle to green has saved us around ￡11,000 every year, which has given us more financial stability,” Carrie says. “Living green has made us healthier and I feel younger now. It is fun seeing what you can make with unwanted or broken things. Growing your own food is great exercise, good for wildlife, and the food is much more nutritious and tastier.” “My concern for the way we humans are treating the planet was really roused when Adam was born. When he arrived, I suddenly had this huge, greater awareness of the kind of planet we’re bringing our children into though I learnt something about it in university.” She began going to talks, reading books, watching documentaries and attending green meetings in order to educate herself in the details of green living. Carrie set up the local campaign group Sussex Green Living six years after her son’s birth. Later she gave up her high-powered job, as she ran a video company with her brother, to do her job full-time. Today, she organizes talks and workshops. She runs a repair cafe, where people can bring everything to be fixed. Her recycling program helps people reuse wastes. Toothpaste tubes, for example, which Carrie sends to the Philippines, are turned into purses by an organization. “My goal is to inspire more people to lead greener, more environmentally friendly lives, to enable us to live in greater harmony with nature, now and for future organizations. I achieve this using various Sussex Green Living communication programs and working with other organizations who have the same goals and values.” 24. How did Carrie feel about her environmentally friendly lifestyle? A. Unwanted. B. Unhealthy. C. Expensive. D. Economical. 25. Which of the following is true about Carrie? A. She made good preparations for living green. B. She recycled what people ignored for fun. C She does daily exercise by growing food. D. She majored in planet protection in university. 26. What does Carrie rely on to make her achievements? A. Her repair cafe and workshops. B. Her own programs and others’ work. C. Her well-paid job and her brother’s support. D. Her independence of realizing her green dream. 27. When did Carrie begin to form her environmentally friendly lifestyle? A. After winning an award. B. After giving birth to her son. C. After being stuck in poverty. D. After attending green meetings C Competitive eating has become big business. The International Federation of Competitive Eating (IFOCE) holds events for competitive eating all around the world. One of the most popular contests (竞赛) is held every 4th of July on Coney Island in New York. Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest started in 1916 and the event has been dominated (占据优势) by Takeru Kobayashi. The Japanese competitor set his first record in 2001, when he ate 50 hot dogs in 12 minutes and has won the contest six years in a row. The main types of food eaten in the contests are fast food. Hot dogs, chicken wings, pickles, corndogs and pizza are main foods of the contests. The contests usually last from around 8 to 12 minutes. Now most of the competitors are men, but there are also women who take part in competitive eating. Being large and overweight isn’t necessarily an advantage in competitive eating. The biggest advantage a competitor can have is the ability to actually stretch (扩张) their stomach. Many competitors will drink plenty of water over a period of time in order to achieve this. Apart from having an unusually stretchable stomach, another important thing seems to be hand to mouth speed. The IFOCE has very strict safety guidelines laid out regarding competitive eating. Competitions must take place in a controlled area and only competitors over the age of 18 are allowed to enter. They also advise against any type of home training. There has been much talk regarding the inclusion of competitive eating as an Olympic sport. Although the IFOCE has talked about that with the Olympic committee, it seems that they will not agree to it at present. 28 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest _____. A. has a history of over 200 years B. takes place once a year in Japan C. is becoming less popular than before D. has made Takeru Kobayashi famous 29. What do we know about eating contests? A. Fast food is the only type of food. B. They usually last ten minutes or so. C Only men are allowed to enter a contest. D. They are open to competitors of all ages. 30. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. How to win an eating contest. B. The history of competitive eating. C. Safety guidelines from the IFOCE. D. The disadvantages of eating too much. 31. What’s the main purpose of the text? A. To report. B. To advertise. C. To introduce. D. To warn. D After waking up, you may feel frustrated that you cannot recall the dreams you had last night. Artificial intelligence may be able to help. Previously, there have been AI models that can turn text into images. They can do this by learning from a large amount of data from both tests and images. This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to recreate images based on people’s brain scans, reported Science magazine. The researchers used an online data set provided by the University of Minnesota, US, which consisted of brain scans from four participant as they each viewed a set of 1,000 photos. The scans were recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI). The AI then learned about the brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the fMRI data: when a part of the brain is activated, more blood will flow to it. It then matched the brain activities with the photos. Finally, the researchers tested the AI on additional brain scans from the same participants when they viewed photos of a toy bear, airplane, clock and train. If the person looked at an airplane, for example, the AI would use the brain scan data to create an image of a very blurry airplane. Then , it would turn on the previous “text-to-image” model and improve the quality of the image by feeding itself the keyword “airplane”. The final images were “convincing” with about 80 percent of accuracy, according to the researchers. The new study created a novel approach that incorporates texts and images to “decipher the brain”, Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University, US, told Science magazine. In the future, scientists hope that the technology can be used to record imagined thought and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive reality. 32. What makes Stable Diffusion different from previous AI models? A. It can turn text into images. B. It can reproduce images based on human’s brain scans. C. It can learn from a large amount of date. D. It assist people recollect their previous memory. 33. How did the researchers test the AI if it can recreate image? A. On additional brain scans from the same participants when they saw photos. B. They analyzed changes in blood flow. C. They used functional magnetic resonance imaging. D. They analyzed the date. 34. What is the meaning of “decipher” in the last paragraph? A. Know about. B. Break down. C. Take over. D. Become ill. 35. Which can be the best title of this passage? A. A new study. B. Artificial Intelligence. C. Functional magnetic resonance imaging. D. Visualizing our dreams. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） ____36____ Maybe it’s a walk in a forest, having a small garden or a few household plants.

One day, she was flying from Tampa to Hawaii for a meeting. Her boyfriend, Rico, came to see her of. When they slowly made it to the safety check, they noticed the airport security (安保人员) was asking a young lady to drop a package into the litter bin before boarding her plane. The lady begged to place the package in Lost and Found Department instead of throwing it away. Sadly, it was not allowed. The lady, after much begging, finally dropped her package and was heading to her gate. Alice, after realizing the lady was nearly in tears, knew something was wrong. Then, it was her turn to pass through security. While hugging Rico goodbye, she asked him to quietly go through the liter bin and pick up the deserted (丢弃的) package to see what was inside of it. Alice was truly trying to help the lady. After waving a final goodbye to his girlfriend, Rico went straight to the litter bin to get the package. As soon as her plane landed, Alice called Rico about the package and was told that in it was a snow globe (水晶球) with a picture of the young lady in the airport. On the base were the words “We love you, Katie. Grandma and Grandpa." Alice immediately realized that the snow globe was far from ordinary.
