Lonely Planet has published its yearly list of top places to go. Whether you’re looking for adventure, culture, or value, there’s something for every type of traveler. Let’s explore the top picks for travel destinations in 2024. Top City: Nairobi Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, was chosen for its unique music and dance culture, and impressive local restaurants. Nairobi National Park, just a short drive out of the city’s central business district, is a must-see, where visitors can see over 400 species wandering the open grass plains while skyscrapers (摩天大楼) twinkle on the horizon. Top Country: Mongolia Mongolia is loved for its wide-open spaces, adventure activities, and unique food. The Mongolian government has announced 2023 through 2025 as the “Years to Visit Mongolia,” easing entry conditions for international travelers and improving public facilities, including a new $650 million airport. Top Sustainable Travel Destination: Spain The publisher also recommended Spain for the country’s efforts to expand renewable energy, to develop off-season travel, and to bring tourism to new destinations, such as the port city of Valencia, easing pressures on hot spots such as Barcelona. Top Best-Value Location: The American Midwest The American Midwest, including the cities of Chicago and Detroit, is also on the list, as it offers a high-quality travel experience at a reasonable cost. Visitors can enjoy excellent services and facilities, such as old warehouses transformed into art studios, new eco-design (环保设计) hotels, and Michelin-starred restaurants, without having to spend too much money. Top Beach Destination: Donegal Donegal, Ireland’s most northwestern county, has the country’s longest coastline and over 100 beaches, where visitors can enjoy the highest sea cliffs in Europe and miles of beautiful coastal hiking trails. 21.

Why is The American Midwest considered to be the Best-Value Location? A. It has highest sea cliffs. B. It offers cost-effective experiences. C. It provides excellent services and facilities. D. It is a best choice for art lover. 23 Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A travel blog B. An art website C. A commercial advertisement D. A travel magazine 【答案】21. A 22. B 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了《孤独星球》发布的2024年最佳旅游目的地榜单。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Top City: Nairobi部分“Nairobi National Park, just a short drive out of the city’s central business district, is a must-see, where visitors can see over 400 species wandering the open grass plains while skyscrapers (摩天大楼) twinkle on the horizon.(Nairobi国家公园，离城市的中央商务区只有很短的车程，是一个不容错过的地方，在那里游客可以看到400多个物种在开阔的草地上漫步，摩天大楼在地平线上闪闪发光)”可知，人们可以在Nairobi国家公园欣赏各种动物。故选A。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据Top Best-Value Location: The American Midwest部分“The American Midwest, including the cities of Chicago and Detroit, is also on the list, as it offers a high-quality travel experience at a reasonable cost.(包括芝加哥和底特律在内的美国中西部城市也榜上有名，因为它以合理的成本提供了高质量的旅行体验)”可知，美国中西部被认为是最有价值的地方是因为它提供具有成本效益的体验。故选B。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第1段“Lonely Planet has published its yearly list of top places to go.(《孤独星球》日前公布了年度最佳旅游目的地榜单)”可知，本文主要介绍了《孤独星球》发布的2024年最佳旅游目的地榜单，因此本文最可能来自于旅游杂志，故选D。 B 13-year-old Ava Dorsey is the founder of Ava’s Pet Palace, a business that sells organic dog and cat treats.“I actually had the idea when I was six with a picture I drew of a palace,”she says.It was a detailed design for dogs and cats and she had serious plans to build it one day. Unlike most dog treats that you find in stores, dog treats sold by Ava’s Pet Palace are 100% organic, and are non-GMO(非转基因). Ava has set a goal for herself with these dog treats, and she wants every treat to be healthy, tasty, and top-quality. Seriously, some of her treats sound delicious enough for people to eat! “All of my bags now have the USDA organic stamp, and we're very excited to have gotten it because it's something I've wanted for a long time,”she says.“A lot of stores like to see organic products because customers like it, so that was really exciting.” Ava says the biggest challenge of being a kid in business is when people don't take her seriously, but undoubtedly Ava has proved that her doubters are wrong! When asked how she defines(定义) success, Ava says,“When you hit a bump in the road, you shouldn't give up and you keep trying.”She learned that from her mom, who sounds like a smart lady! Some more things Ava has learned from her years in business: Hard work eventually pays off and there is nothing wrong with asking for help. As far as the future of the pet treats industry goes, Ava is optimistic——but she’d also like to be an inspiration for change.“There’s not much diversity(多样性) right now, so that’s something I would love to see in the future,”says Ava.“I would also love to see more kids in this industry.There aren't many other teenagers around, and I hope that I can be an inspiration to others who hope to lead the pet industry.” 24. What can we learn about Ava’s Pet Palace from the first two paragraphs? A. It is a palace for pets. B. It is very popular among kids. C. It sells organic pet food. D. It designs stamps for customers. 25. What does“hit a bump in the road”in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Drive on a stone road. B. Escape a setback in business. C. Face a challenging situation. D.

C. She intends to be a leading figure in the pet industry. D. She hopes to break new ground in the pet treats industry. 27. Which of the following best describes Ava? A. Patient and hard-working. B. Determined and creative. C. Confident and humorous. D. Friendly and outgoing. 【答案】24. C 25. C 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。主要介绍了 13 岁的 Ava Dorsey 创立了一家销售有机狗粮和猫粮的企业 Ava’s Pet Palace。她看好宠物零食行业的未来，同时也希望更多的青少年加入这个行业。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“13-year-old Ava Dorsey is the founder of Ava’s Pet Palace, a business that sells organic dog and cat treats.（13 岁的艾娃·多尔西 (Ava Dorsey) 是艾娃宠物宫 (Ava's Pet Palace) 的创始人，该公司销售有机狗和猫零食。）”和第二段“Unlike most dog treats that you find in stores, dog treats sold by Ava’s Pet Palace are 100%organic, and are non-GMO(非转基因).（与您在商店中找到的大多数狗零食不同，Ava's Pet Palace 出售的狗零食是 100% 有机的，并且是非转基因的(非转基因)。）”可知，Ava’s Pet Palace 致力于生产健康、美味和高质量的有机狗粮和猫粮。故选C。 【25题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第三段第二句“ When asked how she defines(定义) success, Ava says,‘’When you hit a bump in the road, you shouldn't give up and you keep trying.”（当被问及她如何定义成功时，艾娃说：“当你在路上遇到坎坷时，你不应该放弃，你应该继续努力。”）”和第四句话“ Some more things Ava has learned from her years in business: Hard work eventually pays off and there is nothing wrong with asking for help.（艾娃从多年的商业生涯中还学到了一些东西：努力工作最终会得到回报，寻求帮助并没有错。）”可知，Ava Dorsey 认为成功意味着面对困难时不放弃，并且学到了努力终会有回报，以及寻求帮助并不是一件坏事。“hit a bump in the road”这个短语指的是面对有挑战的情况，故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段前两句话“As far as the future of the pet treats industry goes, Ava is optimistic——but she’d also like to be an inspiration for change.“There’s not much diversity(多样性) right now, so that’s something I would love to see in the future,”says Ava.（就宠物零食行业的未来而言，Ava 很乐观，但她也希望成为变革的灵感。“现在没有太多多样性，所以这是我很乐意看到的未来，”Ava 说。）”可得知，Ava Dorsey 看好宠物零食行业的未来，希望自己能给行业变化带来灵感与启示，期待行业内更多的多样性。由此可推断她希望在宠物零食行业开辟新领域使该行业呈现多样性。 故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I actually had the idea when I was six with a picture I drew of a palace,”she says.It was a detailed design for dogs and cats and she had serious plans to build it one day.（事实上，我六岁时就产生了这个想法，当时我画了一张宫殿的图画，”她说。这是一个针对狗和猫的详细设计，她认真计划有一天要建造它。）”第二段“Unlike most dog treats that you find in stores, dog treats sold by Ava’s Pet Palace are 100%organic, and are non-GMO(非转基因).（与您在商店中找到的大多数狗零食不同，Ava's Pet Palace 出售的狗零食是 100% 有机的，并且是非转基因的(非转基因)。）”以及第三段“ When asked how she defines(定义) success, Ava says,‘’When you hit a bump in the road, you shouldn't give up and you keep trying.”（当被问及她如何定义成功时，艾娃说：“当你在路上遇到坎坷时，你不应该放弃，你应该继续努力。”）”可知，Ava Dorsey 在 6 岁时便萌生了创业的想法。与普通宠物零食不同的是 Ava’s Pet Palace所售卖的零食是 100%有机而且非转基因的，并获得了美国农业部有机认证。作为一名年轻的企业家，Ava Dorsey 面临很多挑战，尤其是她因年龄小不被人看好，但她坚持不放弃并最终获得成功。由此可得知她坚决果敢且富有创造力。故选B。 C A new song by the famous band The Beatles has been released despite half of the band members no longer being alive, thanks to the help of AI. The Beatles was a legendary British rock band that remained second to Elvis Presley from the 1960s. It was made up of four musicians—John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. The new song, titled Now and Then, is unique because it combined the singing of McCartney and Starr with Lennon, who passed away in 1980, and the guitar skills of Harrison, who passed away in 2001. The song was initially written and partly recorded by Lennon in the late 1970s and further developed by band mates years later but as technology then was limited, they didn’t release it due to the sound quality not being satisfying. Peter Jackson, most famous for directing The Lord of the Rings, directed the music video for Norw and Then and it can be watched now online. It was thanks to new Al audio restoration (音频修复) technology that Peter Jackson allowed the four band members to “come together” one last time. Since its release last week, the song has been well received in the UK. Beatles fans around the world favoured this historic musical event. ”Now and Then is an absolutely heart-warming piece of work, “posted Liam Gallagher, whose hits were affected by The Beatles’ musical style. Of course, there are those who are not totally interested in the song. ”Now and Then is not terrible. But honestly, it’s kind of boring, “Geoff Edgers wrote in The Washington Post. The Times in the UK said the song showed Al being used to its best advantage. 28. Why was the song “Now and Then” not released at first? A. The song was not completed. B. The sound quality was not good enough. C. The band members did not like the song. D. The song was let out before its official release. 29. How did Peter Jackson contribute to the song? A. He wrote and recorded the song. B. He invented new audio restoration technology. C. He restored the band members’ sound using AI. D. He played the guitar on the recording. 30. What is the attitude of The Times towards the release of Now and Then? A. Supportive. B. Curious. C. Unfavourable. D. Unclear. 31. What is the best title of the text? A. The Beatles Remains Second to Elvis Presley B. Beatles Fans Welcome the New Song of The Beatles C. Peter Jnckson Directed the Music Video for The Beatles D. The Beatles Released a New Song with the Help of Al 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了借助人工智能，披头士乐队之前未发行的曲目得以重新发行。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The song was initially written and partly recorded by Lennon in the late 1970s and further developed by band mates years later but as technology then was limited, they didn’t release it due to the sound quality not being satisfying.(这首歌最初是由列侬在20世纪70年代末创作和部分录制的，几年后由乐队成员进一步开发，但由于当时的技术有限，他们没有发行，因为音质不令人满意)”可知，这首歌未发行的原因是音质不够好。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“It was thanks to new Al audio restoration (音频修复) technology that Peter Jackson allowed the four band members to “come together” one last time.(多亏了新的人工智能音频修复技术，彼得·杰克逊才让四名乐队成员最后一次“聚在一起”)”可知，Peter Jackson使用AI技术修复了披头士乐队成员的声音。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The Times in the UK said the song showed Al being used to its best advantage.(英国《泰晤士报》表示，这首歌显示了人工智能被利用到最佳状态)”可推知，《秦晤士报》对披头士乐队新发行的曲目持支持态度。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new song by the famous band The Beatles has been released despite half of the band members no longer being alive, thanks to the help of AI.(著名乐队“披头士”的新歌在人工智能的帮助下发行，尽管乐队一半成员已不在人世)”结合文章介绍了在人工智能音频修复技术的帮助下，披头士乐队未发行的曲目得以重新发行。故D项“披头士乐队在人工智能的帮助下发行了一首新歌”最适合作文章的标题。故选D。 D Even with the Olympic Games now over, echoes of the past days still remained. The National Police would show up around the same time, with soldiers pacing outside the venue entrances. Cafes did a roaring trade, catering to a steady stream of handball and volleyball fans, dressed in national colors, covered in flags, singing songs. After the Games, a different atmosphere settles in. This is Monday, Day +1 of the Games, the morning after the closing ceremony. The loudspeaker has fallen silent. The 7 am police officer procession is now a workers’ lorry, with workers in bright orange vests tidying away barriers. The roadblocks are gone. The cable car stop has reopened. Is this normal life in south-west Paris? The Games decoration still covers every public space, the flags wave, but the Olympic visitors have disappeared. Forget 28 Days Later — this is 28 Hours Later, and I am an Olympic zombie. During the Games, Paris welcomed 2.4 million visitors, 73% of them French, with half coming just for the day. The remaining 27% were international visitors, up 14% from last year. It was these day-trippers and foreign fans who made Paris so lively and colorful. Before packing for my Tuesday Eurostar, I stopped by a regular local haunt. Two days before the opening ceremony, I had asked the chef-owner of 750g La Table about the Games. His response was clear: “The Olympic Games? It’s a disaster. My takings are down 35%. Businesses are closing. Tourists don’t visit.” Today, I ask him what he thinks now that the show is over. “Ah, I was wrong!” he says, smiling. “I was wrong. It was amazing, for the city and for my business. Now, as you see, we’re not busy. Sit wherever you like. All we do now is rest and clean.” We shake hands, and I ask him about the future. “Now? I’m going to take a nap,” he says, pretending to sleep and laughing before heading to the back room for a nap. And with that, the spirit of the Games fades, leaving Paris to rest. 32. What is the atmosphere in Paris after the Games are over? A. Exciting and cheerful. B. Quiet and relaxed. C. Empty and lifeless. D. Bustling and busy. 33. How did the number of visitors change in Paris during the Games? A. Visitor numbers were unchanged. B. Visitor numbers significantly dropped. C. Visitor numbers saw a relative increase. D. Visitor numbers remained fairly constant. 34. What does the author’s conversation with the chef-owner imply? A. The chef-owner feared losses initially but later saw benefits. B. The chef-owner saw no impact on his business. C. The chef-owner’s takings are down during the Games. D. The chef-owner regretted participating in the Games. 35. What’s the best title of this passage? A. The Olympic Zombie in Paris B. From Olympic Glory to Parisian Calm C. Olympic business boom in Paris D. The Disappearance of Olympic Visitors 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章作者描述了奥运会结束后巴黎的氛围变化以及对当地商家的影响。文章通过场景描写和人物对话，展示了奥运会对巴黎日常生活和商家的不同影响。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据文中第一段中“The loudspeaker has fallen silent. The roadblocks are gone. The cable car stop has reopened.(扩音器安静了。路障消失了。缆车站已重新开放)”和最后一段“Now, as you see, we’re not busy. Sit wherever you like.(现在，如你所见，我们不忙)”可知，奥运会结束后，巴黎变得更加安静和放松。相比于赛事期间的繁忙，作者强调了城市的平静和商家的闲暇。故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“During the Games, Paris welcomed 2.4 million visitors, 73% of them French, with half coming just for the day. The remaining 27% were international visitors, up 14% from last year.(在奥运会期间，巴黎共接待了240万游客，其中73%是法国人，其中一半只来了一天。剩下的27%是国际游客，比去年增长了14%)”可知，奥运会期间，巴黎的游客数量有所增加。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文中第三段中“His response was clear: “The Olympic Games? It’s a disaster. My takings are down 35%. Businesses are closing. Tourists don’t visit.” Today, I ask him what he thinks now that the show is over. “Ah, I was wrong!” he says, smiling. “I was wrong. It was It was amazing, for the city and for my business.”(他的回答很明确：“奥运会?这是一场灾难。我的收入下降了35%。企业纷纷关门。游客不会来参观。”今天，我问他在节目结束后有何感想。“啊，我错了！”他笑着说。“我错了。对这座城市和我的生意来说，这真是太棒了。”)”可知，虽然最初他认为奥运会会对生意产生负面影响，但后来发现实际情况相反，生意得到了很大的提升。故选A项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段文中描述的巴黎在奥运会后的氛围改变，以及第二段奥运游客数量变化和最后一段作者和商家对话中奥运会前后对商家的影响，本篇文章是关于在奥运会结束后28小时后巴黎的变化，从热闹繁忙回归平静。由此可知，文章最好的标题是“从奥林匹克的荣耀到巴黎的平静”。故选B项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) Technology sometimes goes wrong.

She had neither her jacket nor her umbrella. Sophie held her paper bag over her head and made a rush. The rain hit her face as she ran up the street. As she stood waiting for the lights to change, Sophie glanced down to see a child’s toy lying on the sidewalk. She looked around, wondering who might have dropped it, but the street was deserted. What should she do? She couldn’t just leave it there. Sophie bent and picked up the toy — a grey elephant with a dirty label, and very wet. As the light went green, she had to make a quick decision. She held the elephant tightly and hurried on her way to her office. “Why did you bring it with you?” Gemma asked while Sophie poured a coffee. “When they realise they’ve lost it, they’ll probably return to the place. You should’ve displayed it where you found it. Somewhere noticeable.” That made sense. “It was getting completely wet,” Sophie protested, “It might have been destroyed.” “It might as well be, if you can’t reunite it with its owner,” Gemma replied. “Some toddler (学步儿童) is going to have trouble getting to sleep tonight without their elephant.” Oh, dear! Sophie had tried to do a good thing, but acting on impulse (冲动) might not have been the best choice. She decided to go back at lunch — find somewhere to set it up high. For the rest of the morning she placed the elephant on the radiator (暖气片) by her desk. At least it would be a bit drier by the time she took it back. But at lunch time, another heavy shower arrived. She picked up the toy elephant and gave its large ears a rub. 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。 “What am I going to do with you?” she asked, staring at the toy. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The man on the phone who said his name was Arthur, sounded excited. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: “What am I going to do with you?” she asked, staring at the toy. Suddenly, she came up with a plan. She decided to take a photo of the toy and post it on social media, hoping that someone would recognize it and help connect her with the owner. Sophie snapped a picture of the toy elephant, wrote a caption explaining the situation, and shared it on various local community groups and lost-and-found pages. Although Sophie received numerous messages and calls from different people, none of them turned out to be the right match. However, she remained hopeful and continued her search. Finally, one afternoon, Sophie received a call from a man. The man on the phone, who said his name was Arthur, sounded excited. He explained that the toy was his child’s cherished one and his description exactly matched that day’s situation. Sophie arranged a meeting with the family, and upon seeing the joyous reunion between the child and her toy, she knew that her impulsive decision had ultimately led to a happy ending. From that day forward, Sophie learned the importance of thinking through her actions before acting on impulse. She also realized the power of community and social media in helping to solve problems and bring people together. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，一个雨天Sophie在街上捡到了一个孩子的大象玩具，她想找到失主，但街上没有人，于是她把玩具带回了办公室。Gemma看到Sophie带回的玩具后，觉得她当时应该放在显眼的地方，方便失主寻回。虽然Sophie为自己辩解说当时雨很大，玩具有可能被毁，但是她意识到自己的一时冲动并非最好的选择，决定稍后回去将玩具放在高处。但不巧的是，稍后又下起了一场大雨。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““我该拿你怎么办?”她盯着玩具问。”和第二段首句中“电话里的那个人”可推知，第一段可描写Sophie想出主意将玩具信息放到网上去寻找失主，虽然Sophie收到了很多回复，但一直没有找到正确的失主，直到有一天接到一个男人的电话。 ②由第二段首句内容“电话里那个自称叫Arthur的人听起来很兴奋。”可知，第二段可描写Arthur就是正确的失主，Sophie和Arthur一家见面将玩具归还，事后Sophie明白不应该冲动行事，同时感激网络的力量得以帮助解决问题。 2. 续写线索：Sophie的困惑——Sophie想到主意——寻找失主的过程——Arthur很兴奋——Sophie归还玩具——Sophie的感受 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①认出：recognize/discern/identify ②解释：explain/clarify/delineate ③安排：arrange/organize/plan ④看到：see/spot/catch sight of ⑤知道：know/realize/sense ⑥带来：lead to/bring about/give rise to ⑦行动：act/take measures/take action/take steps 情绪类 ①充满希望的：hopeful/optimistic/positive ②欢乐的：joyous/happy/joyful/cheerful 【点睛】[高分句型1] She decided to take a photo of the toy and post it on social media, hoping that someone would recognize it and help connect her with the owner.（现在分词短语hoping作状语、连接词that引导名词性从句作hoping的宾语） [高分句型2] Although Sophie received numerous messages and calls from different people, none of them turned out to be the right match.（从属连词Although引导让步状语从句） [高分句型3] Sophie arranged a meeting with the family, and upon seeing the joyous reunion between the child and her toy, she knew that her impulsive decision had ultimately led to a happy ending.（动名词seeing…作upon的宾语、连接词that引导名词性从句作knew的宾语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 武强中学2024—2025学年度上学期期中考试 高二英语试题 第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1. 5分，满分7. 5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 When is Ann’s birthday party?

Lonely Planet has published its yearly list of top places to go. Whether you’re looking for adventure, culture, or value, there’s something for every type of traveler. Let’s explore the top picks for travel destinations in 2024. Top City: Nairobi Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, was chosen for its unique music and dance culture, and impressive local restaurants. Nairobi National Park, just a short drive out of the city’s central business district, is a must-see, where visitors can see over 400 species wandering the open grass plains while skyscrapers (摩天大楼) twinkle on the horizon. Top Country: Mongolia Mongolia is loved for its wide-open spaces, adventure activities, and unique food. The Mongolian government has announced 2023 through 2025 as the “Years to Visit Mongolia,” easing entry conditions for international travelers and improving public facilities, including a new $650 million airport. Top Sustainable Travel Destination: Spain The publisher also recommended Spain for the country’s efforts to expand renewable energy, to develop off-season travel, and to bring tourism to new destinations, such as the port city of Valencia, easing pressures on hot spots such as Barcelona. Top Best-Value Location: The American Midwest The American Midwest, including the cities of Chicago and Detroit, is also on the list, as it offers a high-quality travel experience at a reasonable cost. Visitors can enjoy excellent services and facilities, such as old warehouses transformed into art studios, new eco-design (环保设计) hotels, and Michelin-starred restaurants, without having to spend too much money. Top Beach Destination: Donegal Donegal, Ireland’s most northwestern county, has the country’s longest coastline and over 100 beaches, where visitors can enjoy the highest sea cliffs in Europe and miles of beautiful coastal hiking trails. 21. What can people do in Nairobi National Park? A. Appreciate various animals. B. See musical performances. C. Taste impressive local dishes. D. Enjoy cultural activities. 22. Why is The American Midwest considered to be the Best-Value Location? A. It has highest sea cliffs. B. It offers cost-effective experiences. C It provides excellent services and facilities. D. It is a best choice for art lover. 23. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A travel blog B. An art website C. A commercial advertisement D. A travel magazine B 13-year-old Ava Dorsey is the founder of Ava’s Pet Palace, a business that sells organic dog and cat treats.“I actually had the idea when I was six with a picture I drew of a palace,”she says.It was a detailed design for dogs and cats and she had serious plans to build it one day. Unlike most dog treats that you find in stores, dog treats sold by Ava’s Pet Palace are 100% organic, and are non-GMO(非转基因). Ava has set a goal for herself with these dog treats, and she wants every treat to be healthy, tasty, and top-quality. Seriously, some of her treats sound delicious enough for people to eat! “All of my bags now have the USDA organic stamp, and we're very excited to have gotten it because it's something I've wanted for a long time,”she says.“A lot of stores like to see organic products because customers like it, so that was really exciting.” Ava says the biggest challenge of being a kid in business is when people don't take her seriously, but undoubtedly Ava has proved that her doubters are wrong! When asked how she defines(定义) success, Ava says,“When you hit a bump in the road, you shouldn't give up and you keep trying.”She learned that from her mom, who sounds like a smart lady!

C A new song by the famous band The Beatles has been released despite half of the band members no longer being alive, thanks to the help of AI. The Beatles was a legendary British rock band that remained second to Elvis Presley from the 1960s. It was made up of four musicians—John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. The new song, titled Now and Then, is unique because it combined the singing of McCartney and Starr with Lennon, who passed away in 1980, and the guitar skills of Harrison, who passed away in 2001. The song was initially written and partly recorded by Lennon in the late 1970s and further developed by band mates years later but as technology then was limited, they didn’t release it due to the sound quality not being satisfying. Peter Jackson, most famous for directing The Lord of the Rings, directed the music video for Norw and Then and it can be watched now online. It was thanks to new Al audio restoration (音频修复) technology that Peter Jackson allowed the four band members to “come together” one last time. Since its release last week, the song has been well received in the UK. Beatles fans around the world favoured this historic musical event. ”Now and Then is an absolutely heart-warming piece of work, “posted Liam Gallagher, whose hits were affected by The Beatles’ musical style. Of course, there are those who are not totally interested in the song. ”Now and Then is not terrible. But honestly, it’s kind of boring, “Geoff Edgers wrote in The Washington Post. The Times in the UK said the song showed Al being used to its best advantage. 28. Why was the song “Now and Then” not released at first? A. The song was not completed. B. The sound quality was not good enough. C. The band members did not like the song. D. The song was let out before its official release. 29. How did Peter Jackson contribute to the song? A He wrote and recorded the song. B. He invented new audio restoration technology. C. He restored the band members’ sound using AI. D. He played the guitar on the recording. 30. What is the attitude of The Times towards the release of Now and Then? A. Supportive. B. Curious. C. Unfavourable. D. Unclear. 31. What is the best title of the text? A. The Beatles Remains Second to Elvis Presley B. Beatles Fans Welcome the New Song of The Beatles C. Peter Jnckson Directed the Music Video for The Beatles D. The Beatles Released a New Song with the Help of Al D Even with the Olympic Games now over, echoes of the past days still remained. The National Police would show up around the same time, with soldiers pacing outside the venue entrances. Cafes did a roaring trade, catering to a steady stream of handball and volleyball fans, dressed in national colors, covered in flags, singing songs. After the Games, a different atmosphere settles in. This is Monday, Day +1 of the Games, the morning after the closing ceremony. The loudspeaker has fallen silent. The 7 am police officer procession is now a workers’ lorry, with workers in bright orange vests tidying away barriers. The roadblocks are gone. The cable car stop has reopened. Is this normal life in south-west Paris? The Games decoration still covers every public space, the flags wave, but the Olympic visitors have disappeared. Forget 28 Days Later — this is 28 Hours Later, and I am an Olympic zombie. During the Games, Paris welcomed 2.4 million visitors, 73% of them French, with half coming just for the day. The remaining 27% were international visitors, up 14% from last year. It was these day-trippers and foreign fans who made Paris so lively and colorful. Before packing for my Tuesday Eurostar, I stopped by a regular local haunt. Two days before the opening ceremony, I had asked the chef-owner of 750g La Table about the Games. His response was clear: “The Olympic Games? It’s a disaster. My takings are down 35%. Businesses are closing. Tourists don’t visit.” Today, I ask him what he thinks now that the show is over. “Ah, I was wrong!” he says, smiling. “I was wrong. It was amazing, for the city and for my business. Now, as you see, we’re not busy. Sit wherever you like. All we do now is rest and clean.” We shake hands, and I ask him about the future. “Now? I’m going to take a nap,” he says, pretending to sleep and laughing before heading to the back room for a nap. And with that, the spirit of the Games fades, leaving Paris to rest. 32. What is the atmosphere in Paris after the Games are over? A. Exciting and cheerful. B. Quiet and relaxed. C. Empty and lifeless. D. Bustling and busy. 33 How did the number of visitors change in Paris during the Games? A. Visitor numbers were unchanged. B. Visitor numbers significantly dropped. C. Visitor numbers saw a relative increase. D. Visitor numbers remained fairly constant. 34. What does the author’s conversation with the chef-owner imply? A. The chef-owner feared losses initially but later saw benefits. B. The chef-owner saw no impact on his business. C. The chef-owner’s takings are down during the Games. D. The chef-owner regretted participating in the Games. 35. What’s the best title of this passage? A. The Olympic Zombie in Paris B. From Olympic Glory to Parisian Calm C Olympic business boom in Paris D. The Disappearance of Olympic Visitors 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) Technology sometimes goes wrong.

She had neither her jacket nor her umbrella. Sophie held her paper bag over her head and made a rush. The rain hit her face as she ran up the street. As she stood waiting for the lights to change, Sophie glanced down to see a child’s toy lying on the sidewalk. She looked around, wondering who might have dropped it, but the street was deserted. What should she do? She couldn’t just leave it there. Sophie bent and picked up the toy — a grey elephant with a dirty label, and very wet. As the light went green, she had to make a quick decision. She held the elephant tightly and hurried on her way to her office. “Why did you bring it with you?” Gemma asked while Sophie poured a coffee. “When they realise they’ve lost it, they’ll probably return to the place. You should’ve displayed it where you found it. Somewhere noticeable.” That made sense. “It was getting completely wet,” Sophie protested, “It might have been destroyed.” “It might as well be, if you can’t reunite it with its owner,” Gemma replied. “Some toddler (学步儿童) is going to have trouble getting to sleep tonight without their elephant.” Oh, dear! Sophie had tried to do a good thing, but acting on impulse (冲动) might not have been the best choice. She decided to go back at lunch — find somewhere to set it up high. For the rest of the morning she placed the elephant on the radiator (暖气片) by her desk. At least it would be a bit drier by the time she took it back. But at lunch time, another heavy shower arrived. She picked up the toy elephant and gave its large ears a rub. 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。 “What am I going to do with you?” she asked, staring at the toy. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The man on the phone, who said his name was Arthur, sounded excited. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
