But the service was quite unacceptable. M: Yeah, it is very slow. It seems a waiter is responsible for too many tables. Q: What is the woman complaining about? 3. 【答案】B 【原文】 M: The rain has stopped. You should see the sky this evening. There was a huge rainbow. W: I didn’t even know it was raining. There were no clouds in the sky before I fell asleep this afternoon. Q: How was the weather before the woman slept? 4.【答案】A 【原文】 M: Miss Green, this homework seems very difficult. Can you give us some help with the answer? W: No, but I will allow you to work in groups this time, then one person from each group will present the answer to the class. Q: What will the class do first? 5. 【答案】D 【原文】 W: Today is the last day of my exams. Relief isn’t a strong enough word for how I feel. M: Sadly, I have two more exams to go. Q: How does the woman feel? 6. 【答案】B 【原文】 M: I feel like I am coming down with a cold. I should probably take some medicine to make myself feel better. W: Do you want me to drive you to the drugstore? Q: What does the woman offer to do for the man? 7. 【答案】C 【原文】 M: After the holiday, I’m going to sell the house and move to Italy. I’ll start a new business there. The idea came to me when I went skiing. W: Well, that’s a surprise. And it’s a big step you’re taking. Q: What is the man’s plan after the holiday? 8. 【答案】A 【原文】 W: This job is for three days: Monday, Friday and Sunday. M: Well, I was hoping to keep Sunday free. Anyway, I can change myself a bit. Q: What does the man imply? 9. 【答案】C 【原文】 M: It’s funny that when you say “fall”, it refers to what we call “autumn”. You guys are strange. W: Well, we say the exact same thing about you. Q: What are the speakers talking about? 10.【答案】D 【原文】 W: Have you heard the news that John has been promoted and his salary has been doubled? M: So what? Couldn’t care less! Q: What does the man mean? Section B 【答案】11. C 12. A 13. D 【原文】 Dogs and cats are different in many ways. So sometimes it is difficult for them to get along. However, with patience and the right circumstances, cats and dogs can be best friends. For example, dogs tend to be social animals and they are naturally playful. Cats, on the other hand, tend to be more independent. A dog that wants to play might seem aggressive and frightening to a cat. This may lead the cat to defend itself against an attack although that’s really just a desire to play. Similarly, dogs like to chase each other. It’s a fun game. Chasing cats can be just as fun as chasing other dogs. Again, cats may interpret such playful behavior as a threat. Dogs and cats all have tails, but tails can make things confusing. When a dog waves its tail, it’s sending a friendly message: “I’m happy. Let’s play.” Cats, however, wave their tails when they are angry. You can see how this might lead cats and dogs to become confused if they’re facing each other with waving tails! Although dogs and cats aren’t really enemies, dogs are hunters by nature. This natural behavior could cause problems between dogs and cats. But it can be controlled by special training called socialization when the animals meet for the first time. (Listen again, please.) Questions: 11. What may happen when dogs are chasing cats? 12. Which of the following may be one of the reasons that dogs and cats fight often? 13. What can be inferred from the passage? 【答案】14. A 15. C 16. B 【原文】 Social media has changed how people become popular. Before, people would record their music and send them to recording studios. They would play in live concerts and hope to be discovered by a famous recording studio. Now, people post videos online and then try to gain a following. This makes it easier than it was before for a regular person to find success. Now, it is not in the hands of the recording studios, but rather the regular person. If you want to launch a successful music career, it makes sense to use the power of technology to do so. You should create a self-image on a social media site, Youtube or Instagram, and post videos of yourself doing what you love. You can learn a lot from the talented musicians who made it big through the click of a button. That is, you should make full use of your resources. With so many amazingly talented musicians begging for the spotlight, it can be hard to break away from the crowd. The best way to stand out and get your face noticed is by showing your face on as many online platforms as possible. (Listen again, please.) Questions: 14. What did young musician mainly rely on to gain fame in the past? 15. What is strongly suggested to those who want to become music stars? 16. What is the passage mainly about? 【答案】17. B 18. D 19. C 20. A 【原文】 W: Have you decided on the apartment we want to rent after the checking out, dear? M: Well, I seem to be filled with too much information about those apartments. I would say the Ritter Park apartment is what we really need. It’s spacious for my family. The garden is a bit small, though. It’s not a real problem. The real problem is that it’s far beyond our price range. W: What a pity! What about the others? You mentioned you checked out the Rainbow Apartment and Parson Apartment. M: Yes. The Rainbow Apartment has a great view over the downtown area. Only one block away from the shopping center and the metro. It gets everything—washing machine, dishwasher…you name it. The price is just a little over our budget, but it is good price considering its place. Unfortunately, there are only two bedrooms. I don’t think Jack and Tommy would like to share a room. W: No, they don’t want to be interrupted with each other. M: That’s why I gave it up and visited the Parson Apartment. The price is quite OK, and there are enough rooms for the four of us. W: Sounds good. M: The apartment itself is very good, if it wasn’t too close to the bars and a Karaoke room. W: Did you check out the basement suite? I don’t like the idea of living underground M: Neither do I. Just for your curiosity, I would say there is a big kitchen, three bedrooms, and even a fitting room. They offered an unbelievably low price. Water, electricity, cable TV, and Internet access are all included in the rent. (Listen again, please.) Questions: 17. Why did the man give up the Ritter Park apartment? 18. What did the man say about the Rainbow Apartment? 19. What is the disadvantage of the Parson Apartment? 20. What will the speakers most probably do next?

Travels without internet It may sound hard to believe in this digital age but Yang Hao, a 32-year-old doctoral student studying in the United Kingdom, started on a solo trip the old-fashioned way last year, using a printed map, paying for everything using cash or a bank card, reading train times, and talking to strangers. Over the course of 134 days, he visited 68 counties and cities in 24 provinces and regions 1 China, read 40 books, documented his experiences, and used two cameras to record 2 he saw. Since his story was posted online, it 3 (go) viral, triggering widespread discussion and reflection on the modern dependence on technology. 4 he foresaw that it would trigger some discussion, the public attention his journey has drawn has exceeded his imagination. Last Nov 27, he set off from Taiyuan with a 40-liter backpack, 5 contained clothing, two cameras, maps, his identification card, bank cards, cash, two writing brushes, a bottle of calligraphy ink, a pen, a notebook, and three books. Standing at the Taiyuan Railway Station as his parents saw him off. “It was the first time in my life that both my parents saw me off together. They felt more distant from me without the internet,” Yang says, adding that his parents were likely 6 (worry) more about him as they couldn’t contact him by phone. Arriving at Linfen, he encountered the first challenge, as without a phone, he couldn’t book a hotel online. Although he showed his ID card and offered to pay cash at the hotel reception, it seemed that without a phone, he could not reserve a room. During the trip, Yang experienced lots of situations like this. At the entrance to the Hubei Provincial Museum in Wuhan, he 7 (not allow) in because the museum required reservation in advance and he couldn’t reserve a ticket online. Yang wrote his first letter to his parents on the third day. Holding the brush, he struggled to find the right words to start. “Through the traditional way of writing letters to convey my feelings and longing for my family, the distance and the waiting helped me reflect on my relationship with the world,” Yang says. He mailed 40 letters during his trip, and received five replies, which have become treasured memories. Yang returned to Taiyuan on April 9. His mother welcomed him with a bowl of noodles in accordance with the Chinese saying “Dumplings for departure, and noodles for return”. With the noodles 8 (warm) his belly, Yang felt that his journey had come to an end. 9 he first saw his phone and computer, which had been lying unused for more than four months, he didn’t want to turn them on, 10 he had become used to a quiet, peaceful life without the internet.

Their 11 work on artificial neural networks, inspired by the human brain, has revolutionized the way we think about machines and their ability to learn from data. John Hopfield, an emeritus(荣誉退休的)professor at Princeton University in the US, 12 an associative memory system capable of storing and retrieving(检索)complex patterns, much like the human brain does with memories. Geoffrey Hinton, a British-Canadian professor at the University of Toronto, known as the “godfather of AI, ” 13 to a method that allows neural networks to independently uncover features within data, a cornerstone of today’s large-scale artificial neural networks. Their research, which began in the 1980s, has enabled machine learning through the use of artificial neural networks, leading to 14 in language translation and generative AI, like ChatGPT. The Nobel Committee for Physics noted that these networks have not only advanced various physics fields but have also become 15 into everyday technologies, significantly impacting society. Hinton, 76, gained attention last year when he left Google to voice 16 about the potential dangers of AI. He warned about the risks of machines surpassing human intelligence and the ensuing implications for misinformation, job markets, and human existence. Despite the concerns, he also 17 the potential benefits, such as improvements in healthcare and productivity. Prof. Michael Wooldridge, a computer scientist at the University of Oxford, praised the award as a proof of the profound impact of AI on science, noting that the success of neural networks has unlocked new 18 for data analysis. Prof. Dame Wendy Hall, a computer scientist at the University of Southampton, expressed surprise at the choice of awarding the prize in physics, given that there is no Nobel Prize for computer science, but acknowledged the 19 influence of artificial neural networks on physics research. In summary, the Nobel Prize in Physics 2024 celebrates the transformative impact of AI research on science and society, 20 the contributions of Hopfield and Hinton in shaping the future of intelligent machines. II.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分；56-70每题2分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context How Do You Know You’re Not in the Matrix? At the heart of the philosophy of Aristotle and St Thomas Aquinas is the idea that we come into contact with reality through the senses. But what if our senses are not a(n) 21 source? Perhaps our senses are deceiving us, and everything we perceive isn’t real but is an illusion like in the movie The Matrix. This 22 of sense knowledge was part of Rene Descartes’s methodic doubt, which many radical (激进的) skeptics have adopted. Descartes argued: whatever I have up till now accepted as most true I have acquired either from the senses or through the senses. But I have found that the senses may deceive me 23 , and it is sensible never to trust completely those who have deceived us even once. And one example Descartes gives as evidence is the fact that objects at a distance look smaller than what they are. But this is not deception. The sense of sight is reporting 24 what it perceives. As D．Q. McInerny says, “This is the sense of sight functioning just as it should, in order to give me a proper knowledge of 25 ”. Only when one made the judgement that “the man is small and then becomes big” would 26 come in. Truth and falsity do not 27 sensory perception but the fact of judging that perception. Another 28 with Descartes’s reason for doubting sensory perception is that he relies on only one sensory power. It’s often the case that in order to test whether one sense is deceiving us, we must 29 another sense. To use an example that many radical skeptics do to justify their doubt of sense knowledge. I may perceive the stick 30 immersed in water as crooked (弯曲). How do I determine whether what I perceive is actually the case? I pick up the stick. When I do so, I judge the stick is actually 31 . But in order to make a correct judgment about the stick, I use another sensory power—namely, 32 —that I must trust in order to make the proper judgment. With regard to Descartes’s example, in order to make a sound judgment about the 33 of the man walking up the street, Descartes would have to make contact with him through the sense of touch and measure him, which requires trust in sense knowledge. Furthermore, Descartes’s recognition of the man’s small stature (身高) as 34 presupposes his trust in his previous sensory experience of the man’s tall stature. As Ralph McInerny notes, “Descartes must trust his senses in order to challenge them.” So, if it’s reasonable to trust sense knowledge, and the senses put us into contact with the 35 world, then we can have greater certainty that what we perceive is objectively real. 21．A．external B．primary C．reliable D．alternative 22．A．disbelief B．application C．branch D．command 23．A．in no case B．out of nowhere C．by all means D．now and then 24．A．accurately B．independently C．accidentally D．randomly 25．A．philosophy B．distance C．nature D．life 26．A．analysis B．error C．change D．reflection 27．A．lead to B．serve as C．identify with D．lie in 28．A．problem B．consideration C．advantage D．perspective 29．A．abandon B．regain C．sharpen D．employ 30．A．barely B．wrongly C．partially D．completely 31．A．hollow B．straight C．thick D．bent 32．A．smell B．sight C．touch D．taste 33．A．size B．status C．age D．weight 34．A．scientific B．unusual C．reasonable D．horrifying 35．A．imaginary B．private C．contemporary D．outside Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) I heard some good news recently. My grandfather called me to test his new hearing aid. For the first time, he could hear my voice, which thrilled us. I soon found out there was another reason my grandparents were so happy — their new audiologist (听觉病矫治专家), Anna. Unlike the previous providers they’d been dealing with, Anna gave time and attention. Anna not only ensured the new hearing aid worked as it should, but also offered to go to my grandparents’ apartment to show them how to use it. Such kindness might sound rare, but I’ve since started wondering: what if it’s more common than we think? It started with some research that showed people often underestimate the willingness of strangers to engage with, or even befriend them. Then I came across a study that suggested news coverage of current affairs tends to be more negative than positive because humans tend to give negative events more attention. Negative stories can attract our attention and prepare us for disappointment. But if we don’t engage with positive ones, they might lead us to be more critical of the world, more defensive and less hopeful. So I think sometimes what we hear, see, or even know might not be the whole picture. The truth might be hidden from us, requiring us to notice and discover it. We could start by asking ourselves whether we are focusing more on negative or positive stories and whether we are letting negative news surround us. Maybe even paying more attention to good news or making a point of sharing good news will help. Anna’s attitude was remarkable. She went beyond the call of duty and, upon leaving, refused to accept anything but words as thanks. Why not remind ourselves that, for all of the bad that’s in the world and in the news, behind the scenes, in people’s ordinary lives, still lie untold stories of extraordinary good. 36．How was Anna different from previous audiologists? A．She offered her patients personal assistance. B．She displayed more ambition and professionalism. C．She refused to accept payment for the hearing aid. D．She paid little attention to her patients’ needs. 37．Why are news reports on current events usually more negative than positive? A．To warn people of potential risks. B．To attract audiences more effectively. C．To encourage people to seek out the truth. D．To reveal the harshness of reality. 38．What is a potential consequence of focusing only on negative stories? A．Improved ability to cope with stress. B．Increased optimism and hope. C．A reduced sense of security. D．A more objective view of the world. 39．What does the author suggest people do? A．Take advantage of others’ kindness. B．Share only positive news stories. C．Engage more with strangers. D．Maintain a positive outlook on the world.

A．one hour B．two hours C．three hours D．four hours (C) You see a fantastic offer, like a hotel room. You decide to book. Then it turns out there is a service fee. Then a cleaning fee. Then a few other extra costs. By the time you pay the final price, it is no longer the fantastic offer you thought. Welcome to the world of drip pricing — the practice of promoting something at an attractive headline price and then, once you’ve committed to the purchase process, hitting you with unavoidable add-ons that are “dripped”. In most cases, you see through all additionally added mandatory fees, and even though you could relinquish the deal, you choose to bite the bullet and complete the deal. Resistance to the idea of starting the search all over again is not simply a matter of laziness or indecision. There’s a profound psychological mechanism at play here, called the present bias. In the paper, Doing It Now or Later, economist Matthew Rabin defines people’s present-biased preference via an example of choosing between doing seven hours of unpleasant activity on April 1 or eight hours two weeks later: If asked on February 1, most people will choose the earlier option. But come April 1, given the same choice, most of us tend to put off work till April 15. In simple terms, the inconvenience of doing something “right now” often feels disproportionately large. Beyond the challenge of starting over, there’s another psychological phenomenon that drip pricing uses - loss aversion. Imagine you’re booking tickets for a show. Initially attracted by the headline price, you’re now presented with different seating categories. Seeing a VIP ticket is within your budget, you decide to fork out. But then, during the checkout process, the drip begins. You realize you could have chosen lower-category seats, but by this stage, you’ve already imagined yourself enjoying the show from those nice seats. Going back to a cheaper seat will feel like a loss. Buyers would benefit from a ban on drip pricing. Many countries are taking steps to protect consumers from drip pricing. The effectiveness of such measures, however, is uncertain. Nonetheless, you can hopefully make a more informed decision by understanding why the strategy works. 43．Which of the following is an example of drip pricing? A．FlightHub introduces a bonus after you choose their flight. B．Airbnb offers you a membership account when you book a trip. C．Rent-A-Car charges wear and tear fees beyond the advertised price. D．Ticketmaster provides optional items at later stages of your purchase. 44．What does the underlined word “relinquish” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Reach. B．Abandon. C．Sign. D．Expand. 45．How will Rabin explain people’s refusal to cancel an order and remake one? A．People are likely to blindly stick to their initial intentions. B．People like to grab earlier rewards and delay immediate costs. C．People struggle to make a decision among multiple choices. D．People tend to tolerate additional costs within their budget. 46．What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A．To explain why people fall into the drip pricing trick. B．To educate customers on how to deal with drip pricing. C．To call on governments to protect consumers’ interests. D．To introduce two psychological phenomena about spending. Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. A．It is flexible enough to turn down into a grimace (鬼脸) or up into a smile. B．This is “an exciting area of development,” but market adoption would be complex. C．It could bend like a human finger, making it capable of performing more precise tasks. D．While protecting a robot’s complex machinery, it is soft and light enough for a wide range of uses. E．This capacity is a “critical feature” for humanoid robots as even small scratches could lead to breakdowns. F．The skin attachment also gives humanoid robots the potential for sensation, taking science one step closer to sci-fi fantasy. Giving Robots a Fleshy Face and a Smile If humanoid robots look a bit cold-would it help if they had fleshy faces that can smile at you? A research team in Japan has created a face mask from human skin cells and attached it to robots with a novel technique. 47 .  This outward layer, the researchers say, is both elastic and durable enough to protect robots while making them appear more human. “Human-like faces and expressions improve communication and empathy in human-robot interactions,” said Shoji Takeuchi, the study’s lead researcher. “This further makes robots more effective in health care, service and companionship roles.” Beyond expressiveness, the “skin” can self-repair and heal. 48 . The novel skin attachment method advances the newborn “biohybrid” robotics field, said Kevin Lynch, an expert on robotics and biosystems. This field integrates mechanical engineering with genetic and tissue engineering. “This study is an innovative contribution to the problem of anchoring artificial skin to the underlying material,” said Lynch.  Takeuchi’s team has been working with labmade human skin for years. In 2022, they developed a robotic finger covered in living skin. 49 . The team had tried anchoring the skin with mini-hooks, but those caused tears as the robot moved. The researchers then decided to mimic ligaments (韧带), the tiny ropes of loose tissue that connect bones. They drilled small, V-shaped holes into the robot and applied a gel，which plugged the holes and made the artificial skin attach to the robot.  “This approach integrates traditional rigid robots with soft, biological skins, making them more ‘human-like,’” said Yifan Wang, a mechanical engineer. 50 . “This could create opportunities for the robots to sense and safely interact with humans,” Wang said. The faces of the robots with artificial skin in Takeuchi’s lab are unable to sense touch or temperature change. Takeuchi said that is his next research target. “We aim to create skin that closely resembles real skin by gradually constructing essential components such as blood vessels, nerves and sweat glands,” he said. In place of the neural systems that convey sensation in a human body, a robot’s electronics would need to power a sensor signal. This development, Wang said, would require much more time and research. III.Summary Writing Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Light the Cities of the Future The previously unlit cycle path in the Netherlands has recently drawn our attention. It has been resurfaced with a material that consists of shining stones in order to create a well-lit route. The Van Gogh path, so called after the artist who lived in the town of Nuenen in 1883, combines the traditional with the contemporary in a gesture that acknowledge Van Gogh’s masterpiece. The Starry Night, but also shows the way ahead for city lighting. The Van Gogh path is not a single case: it’s not difficult to foresee a time when natural materials could help light the cities of the future. Why should we care about city lighting? What’s wrong with current electrical lighting anyway? Well, the problem that it causes is two-fold. First, of course, electricity in most cities come from non-renewable resources. According to the International Energy Agency, almost 20% of global electricity is consumed for lighting, which is responsible for high levels of car emissions. But there’s also the belief that electric light itself is a form of pollution by destroying our view of night sky. For the above reasons, then, it seems wise to investigate other approaches. The city of Glasgow, is attempting to use intellect street lighting, to monitor how citizen interact with the urban landscape and minimize electricity consumption and thus emissions. This “Smart City” approach is seen by many as the way of the future, but some designers are not convinced. They’re pioneering the altogether more original approach of using materials from the natural world in order to replace electric light entirely. They believe that this new “technology” can one day completely replace microchips and digital systems as we find better ways of making use of the light-producing machines that already exist in the natural world. 51._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________   IV.Translation (共15分。第1小题和第2小题,每题3分;第3题4分;第4题5分。) Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets 52．高额的旅行支出是对公司资源的巨大耗费。(drain n.) 53．成长与舒适不能共存，难道不是吗?

Travels without internet It may sound hard to believe in this digital age but Yang Hao, a 32-year-old doctoral student studying in the United Kingdom, started on a solo trip the old-fashioned way last year, using a printed map, paying for everything using cash or a bank card, reading train times, and talking to strangers. Over the course of 134 days, he visited 68 counties and cities in 24 provinces and regions 1 China, read 40 books, documented his experiences, and used two cameras to record 2 he saw. Since his story was posted online, it 3 (go) viral, triggering widespread discussion and reflection on the modern dependence on technology. 4 he foresaw that it would trigger some discussion, the public attention his journey has drawn has exceeded his imagination. Last Nov 27, he set off from Taiyuan with a 40-liter backpack, 5 contained clothing, two cameras, maps, his identification card, bank cards, cash, two writing brushes, a bottle of calligraphy ink, a pen, a notebook, and three books. Standing at the Taiyuan Railway Station as his parents saw him off. “It was the first time in my life that both my parents saw me off together. They felt more distant from me without the internet,” Yang says, adding that his parents were likely 6 (worry) more about him as they couldn’t contact him by phone. Arriving at Linfen, he encountered the first challenge, as without a phone, he couldn’t book a hotel online. Although he showed his ID card and offered to pay cash at the hotel reception, it seemed that without a phone, he could not reserve a room. During the trip, Yang experienced lots of situations like this. At the entrance to the Hubei Provincial Museum in Wuhan, he 7 (not allow) in because the museum required reservation in advance and he couldn’t reserve a ticket online. Yang wrote his first letter to his parents on the third day. Holding the brush, he struggled to find the right words to start. “Through the traditional way of writing letters to convey my feelings and longing for my family, the distance and the waiting helped me reflect on my relationship with the world,” Yang says. He mailed 40 letters during his trip, and received five replies, which have become treasured memories. Yang returned to Taiyuan on April 9. His mother welcomed him with a bowl of noodles in accordance with the Chinese saying “Dumplings for departure, and noodles for return”. With the noodles 8 (warm) his belly, Yang felt that his journey had come to an end. 9 he first saw his phone and computer, which had been lying unused for more than four months, he didn’t want to turn them on, 10 he had become used to a quiet, peaceful life without the internet. 【答案】 1．across 2．what 3．has gone 4．Although 5．which 6．to worry 7．wasn’t allowed 8．warming 9．When 10．because 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了32岁的英国博士生杨淏没有网络的独自旅行经历。 1．考查介词。句意：在134天的时间里，他走遍了中国24个省区的68个县市，读了40本书，记录了自己的经历，并用两台相机记录了他的所见所闻。根据句意以及空后China为名词可知，此处为介词across表示“从一边到另一边，横过，穿过”，满足句意要求。故填across。 2．考查宾语从句。句意：在134天的时间里，他走遍了中国24个省区的68个县市，读了40本书，记录了自己的经历，并用两台相机记录了他的所见所闻。此处为连接代词what引导的宾语从句，what在从句中作宾语成分，意为“看到的东西”。故填what。 3．考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：自从他的故事被传到网上后，就迅速传播开来，引发了人们对现代社会对科技依赖的广泛讨论和反思。此处为谓语动词的填入，根据Since可知，此处为现在完成时，结合主语it为第三人称单数，所以为动词三单形式。故填has gone。 4．考查让步状语从句。句意：尽管他预见到这将引发一些讨论，但他的旅程所引起的公众关注超出了他的想象。根据句意可知，此处为连词Although表示“尽管”引导的让步状语从句，满足句意要求。故填Although。 5．考查定语从句。句意：去年11月27日，他带着一个40升的背包从太原出发，背包里装着衣服、两台相机、地图、身份证、银行卡、现金、两支毛笔、一瓶书法墨水、一支笔、一本笔记本和三本书。此处为关系代词which引导的非限制性定语从句，关系词指代先行词backpack在从句中作主语成分。故填which。 6．考查动词不定式。句意：他还说，他的父母可能更担心他，因为他们无法通过电话联系到他。此处为动词短语be likely to do“很可能做某事”，所以此处为动词不定式形式。故填to worry。 7．考查动词时态和语态。句意：在武汉的湖北省博物馆入口处，他没有被允许进入，因为博物馆需要提前预订，而他无法在网上预订门票。此处为谓语动词的填入，结合上下文时态可知，此处为陈述过去发生的事情，主语he和动词allow为被动关系，所以为一般过去时的被动语态结构。故填wasn’t allowed。 8．考查非谓语动词。句意：面条温暖了他的肚子，杨淏觉得他的旅程已经结束了。此处为with的复合结构，其中的动词应为非谓语形式，warm和宾语the noodles为主动关系，所以为现在分词形式。故填warming。 9．考查时间状语从句。句意：当他第一次看到他的手机和电脑时，他已经闲置了四个多月，他不想打开它们，因为他已经习惯了没有互联网的安静、和平的生活。，此处为连词when引导的时间状语从句，表示“当……时候”，满足句意要求。故填When。 10．考查原因状语从句。句意：当他第一次看到他的手机和电脑时，他已经闲置了四个多月，他不想打开它们，因为他已经习惯了没有互联网的安静、和平的生活。根据上下句句意可知，此处为连词because表示“因为”引导的原因状语从句，满足句意逻辑要求。故填because。 Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

Their 11 work on artificial neural networks, inspired by the human brain, has revolutionized the way we think about machines and their ability to learn from data. John Hopfield, an emeritus(荣誉退休的)professor at Princeton University in the US, 12 an associative memory system capable of storing and retrieving(检索)complex patterns, much like the human brain does with memories. Geoffrey Hinton, a British-Canadian professor at the University of Toronto, known as the “godfather of AI, ” 13 to a method that allows neural networks to independently uncover features within data, a cornerstone of today’s large-scale artificial neural networks. Their research, which began in the 1980s, has enabled machine learning through the use of artificial neural networks, leading to 14 in language translation and generative AI, like ChatGPT. The Nobel Committee for Physics noted that these networks have not only advanced various physics fields but have also become 15 into everyday technologies, significantly impacting society. Hinton, 76, gained attention last year when he left Google to voice 16 about the potential dangers of AI. He warned about the risks of machines surpassing human intelligence and the ensuing implications for misinformation, job markets, and human existence. Despite the concerns, he also 17 the potential benefits, such as improvements in healthcare and productivity. Prof. Michael Wooldridge, a computer scientist at the University of Oxford, praised the award as a proof of the profound impact of AI on science, noting that the success of neural networks has unlocked new 18 for data analysis. Prof. Dame Wendy Hall, a computer scientist at the University of Southampton, expressed surprise at the choice of awarding the prize in physics, given that there is no Nobel Prize for computer science, but acknowledged the 19 influence of artificial neural networks on physics research.

B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context How Do You Know You’re Not in the Matrix? At the heart of the philosophy of Aristotle and St Thomas Aquinas is the idea that we come into contact with reality through the senses. But what if our senses are not a(n) 21 source? Perhaps our senses are deceiving us, and everything we perceive isn’t real but is an illusion like in the movie The Matrix. This 22 of sense knowledge was part of Rene Descartes’s methodic doubt, which many radical (激进的) skeptics have adopted. Descartes argued: whatever I have up till now accepted as most true I have acquired either from the senses or through the senses. But I have found that the senses may deceive me 23 , and it is sensible never to trust completely those who have deceived us even once. And one example Descartes gives as evidence is the fact that objects at a distance look smaller than what they are. But this is not deception. The sense of sight is reporting 24 what it perceives. As D．Q. McInerny says, “This is the sense of sight functioning just as it should, in order to give me a proper knowledge of 25 ”. Only when one made the judgement that “the man is small and then becomes big” would 26 come in. Truth and falsity do not 27 sensory perception but the fact of judging that perception. Another 28 with Descartes’s reason for doubting sensory perception is that he relies on only one sensory power. It’s often the case that in order to test whether one sense is deceiving us, we must 29 another sense. To use an example that many radical skeptics do to justify their doubt of sense knowledge. I may perceive the stick 30 immersed in water as crooked (弯曲). How do I determine whether what I perceive is actually the case? I pick up the stick. When I do so, I judge the stick is actually 31 . But in order to make a correct judgment about the stick, I use another sensory power—namely, 32 —that I must trust in order to make the proper judgment. With regard to Descartes’s example, in order to make a sound judgment about the 33 of the man walking up the street, Descartes would have to make contact with him through the sense of touch and measure him, which requires trust in sense knowledge. Furthermore, Descartes’s recognition of the man’s small stature (身高) as 34 presupposes his trust in his previous sensory experience of the man’s tall stature. As Ralph McInerny notes, “Descartes must trust his senses in order to challenge them.” So, if it’s reasonable to trust sense knowledge, and the senses put us into contact with the 35 world, then we can have greater certainty that what we perceive is objectively real. 21．A．external B．primary C．reliable D．alternative 22．A．disbelief B．application C．branch D．command 23．A．in no case B．out of nowhere C．by all means D．now and then 24．A．accurately B．independently C．accidentally D．randomly 25．A．philosophy B．distance C．nature D．life 26．A．analysis B．error C．change D．reflection 27．A．lead to B．serve as C．identify with D．lie in 28．A．problem B．consideration C．advantage D．perspective 29．A．abandon B．regain C．sharpen D．employ 30．A．barely B．wrongly C．partially D．completely 31．A．hollow B．straight C．thick D．bent 32．A．smell B．sight C．touch D．taste 33．A．size B．status C．age D．weight 34．A．scientific B．unusual C．reasonable D．horrifying 35．A．imaginary B．private C．contemporary D．outside 【答案】 21．C 22．A 23．D 24．A 25．B 26．B 27．D 28．A 29．D 30．C 31．B 32．C 33．A 34．B 35．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要论述的是笛卡尔对感官知识的怀疑。 21．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：但是，如果我们的感官不是一个可靠的来源呢？A. external外部的；B. primary主要的；C. reliable可靠的；D. alternative可选择的。根据下文中的“Perhaps our senses are deceiving us, and everything we perceive isn’t real”可知，可能我们的感官在欺骗我们，由此可知，我们的感官可能是不“可靠的”。故选C。 22．考查名词词义辨析。句意：这种对感官知识的怀疑是Rene Descartes方法论怀疑的一部分，许多激进的怀疑论者都采用了这种怀疑。A. disbelief怀疑；B. application申请，运用；C. branch树枝，分支；D. command命令。根据下文中的“part of Rene Descartes’s methodic doubt”可知，此处指的是对这种感官的“怀疑”，disbelief与doubt为近义词。故选A。 23．考查固定短语辨析。句意：但我发现感觉有时会欺骗我，明智的做法是永远不要完全相信那些哪怕欺骗过我们一次的人。A. in no case决不；B. out of nowhere突然冒出来；C. by all means无论如何，一定；D. now and then时不时地。根据上文中的“I have found that the senses may deceive me”可知，感官可能会欺骗我们，结合下文“it is sensible never to trust completely those who have deceived us even once”可知，我们不要完全相信，由此可知，此处表示感觉有时会欺骗“我”。故选D。 24．考查副词词义辨析。句意：视觉准确地报告它所感知到的东西。A. accurately准确地；B. independently独立地；C. accidentally偶然地；D. randomly随意地。根据上文中的“But this is not deception.”可知，这不是欺骗，所以，视觉“准确地”报告了它所感觉的一切。故选A。 25．考查名词词义辨析。句意：正如D. Q. McInerny所说，“这就是视觉的功能，它应该发挥作用，让我对距离有一个正确的认识”。A. philosophy哲学；B. distance距离；C. nature自然；D. life生活。根据上文“objects at a distance look smaller than what they are”和下文中的同位语从句“that “the man is small and then becomes big” would”可知，此处应是一个有关“距离”的认识。故选B。 26．考查名词词义辨析。句意：只有当一个人做出“人先小后大”的判断时，世界上才会出现错误。A. analysis分析；B. error错误；C. change改变；D. reflection反思。根据上文中的“the man is small and then becomes big”可知，当一个人的判断是“人是小的，而后又变成大的”的时候，“错误”就出现了。故选B。 27．考查动词短语辨析。句意：真假不在于感官知觉，而在于判断这种知觉的事实。A. lead to导致；B. serve as充当；C. identify with认同；D. lie in在于。根据下文中的“sensory perception but the fact of judging that perception”可知，此处分辨的是真假理论，真假并不“在于”感官的感觉中，而在于判断的行为中。故选D。 28．考查名词词义辨析。句意：笛卡尔怀疑感官知觉的另一个问题是，他只依赖于一种感官力量。A. problem问题；B. consideration考虑；C. advantage优点；D. perspective视角，观点。根据下文中的表语从句“that he relies on only one sensory power.”可知，仅仅依赖一种感官能力，这是笛卡尔质疑感官知觉存在的另一种“问题”。故选A。 29．考查动词词义辨析。句意：通常情况下，为了测试一种感觉是否欺骗了我们，我们必须使用另一种感觉。A. abandon放弃；B. regain恢复，重新获得；C. sharpen使变得尖锐；D. employ雇佣，运用。根据上文中的“It’s often the case that in order to test whether one sense is deceiving us”可知，为了测试一种感觉是否欺骗我们，我们应“运用”什么手段，所以“运用”符合语境。故选D。 30．考查副词词义辨析。句意：我可能会认为部分浸入水中的木棍是弯曲的。A. barely仅仅，刚刚；B. wrongly错误地；C. partially部分地；D. completely完全地。根据常识和下文中的“immersed in water as crooked (弯曲).”可知，把木棍“部分地”置于水中，看上去是弯曲的。故选C。 31．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：当我这样做的时候，我判断棍子实际上是直的。A. hollow中空的；B. straight直的；C. thick浓厚的；D. bent弯的。根据常识和上文中的“I may perceive the stick partially immersed in water as crooked (弯曲).”以及“I pick up the stick.”可知，木棍部分在水中的时候看上去是弯曲的，而从水中取出时，应该是“直的”。故选B。 32．考查名词词义辨析。句意：但是为了对棍子做出正确的判断，我使用了另一种感官力量——即触觉——为了做出正确的判断，我必须信任它。A. smell嗅觉；B. sight视觉；C. touch触觉；D. taste味觉。根据下文中的“Descartes would have to make contact with him through the sense of touch and measure him, which requires trust in sense knowledge”可知，此处指的是利用另外一种感官“触觉”做出准确的判断。故选C。 33．考查名词词义辨析。句意：在笛卡尔的例子中，为了对走在街上的人的大小做出合理的判断，笛卡尔必须通过触觉与他人接触并测量他人，这需要信任感官知识。A. size尺寸，大小；B. status地位；C. age年龄；D. weight重量。根据下文中的“Descartes would have to make contact with him through the sense of touch and measure him, which requires trust in sense knowledge”和“the man’s small stature (身高)”可知，我们通过接触这些行人去测量行人，由此可知，此处指的是“对走在街上的人的大小做出合理的判断”。故选A。 34．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：此外，笛卡尔认为这个人身材矮小是不寻常的，这是以他对他先前对这个人身材高大的感官经验的信任为前提的。A. scientific科学的；B. unusual不寻常的；C. reasonable合理的；D. horrifying可怕的。根据下文中的“presupposes his trust in his previous sensory experience of the man’s tall stature”可知，假如他相信之前对这个人身材高大感官的经验的话，所以此处认为这个人身材矮小有些“不寻常”。故选B。 35．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：所以，如果相信感官知识是合理的，而且感官让我们与外部世界接触，那么我们就能更确定我们所感知的是客观真实的。A. imaginary想象的；B. private私人的；C. contemporary当代的；D. outside外面的。根据常识和上文中的“if it’s reasonable to trust sense knowledge, and the senses put us into contact”以及空后的world可知，感官是让我们与“外部的”世界接触。故选D。 Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) I heard some good news recently. My grandfather called me to test his new hearing aid. For the first time, he could hear my voice, which thrilled us. I soon found out there was another reason my grandparents were so happy — their new audiologist (听觉病矫治专家), Anna. Unlike the previous providers they’d been dealing with, Anna gave time and attention. Anna not only ensured the new hearing aid worked as it should, but also offered to go to my grandparents’ apartment to show them how to use it. Such kindness might sound rare, but I’ve since started wondering: what if it’s more common than we think? It started with some research that showed people often underestimate the willingness of strangers to engage with, or even befriend them. Then I came across a study that suggested news coverage of current affairs tends to be more negative than positive because humans tend to give negative events more attention. Negative stories can attract our attention and prepare us for disappointment. But if we don’t engage with positive ones, they might lead us to be more critical of the world, more defensive and less hopeful. So I think sometimes what we hear, see, or even know might not be the whole picture. The truth might be hidden from us, requiring us to notice and discover it. We could start by asking ourselves whether we are focusing more on negative or positive stories and whether we are letting negative news surround us. Maybe even paying more attention to good news or making a point of sharing good news will help. Anna’s attitude was remarkable. She went beyond the call of duty and, upon leaving, refused to accept anything but words as thanks. Why not remind ourselves that, for all of the bad that’s in the world and in the news, behind the scenes, in people’s ordinary lives, still lie untold stories of extraordinary good. 36．How was Anna different from previous audiologists? A．She offered her patients personal assistance. B．She displayed more ambition and professionalism. C．She refused to accept payment for the hearing aid. D．She paid little attention to her patients’ needs. 37．Why are news reports on current events usually more negative than positive? A．To warn people of potential risks. B．To attract audiences more effectively. C．To encourage people to seek out the truth. D．To reveal the harshness of reality. 38．What is a potential consequence of focusing only on negative stories? A．Improved ability to cope with stress. B．Increased optimism and hope. C．A reduced sense of security. D．A more objective view of the world. 39．What does the author suggest people do? A．Take advantage of others’ kindness. B．Share only positive news stories. C．Engage more with strangers. D．Maintain a positive outlook on the world. 【答案】36．A 37．B 38．C 39．D 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者通过自己祖父使用新助听器得到良好服务的经历，引发了对人们如何接收和解读信息的思考。 36．细节理解题。根据第二段“Unlike the previous providers they’d been dealing with, Anna gave time and attention. Anna not only ensured the new hearing aid worked as it should, but also offered to go to my grandparents’ apartment to show them how to use it.(与他们之前接触的供应商不同，安娜付出了时间和精力。安娜不仅确保新助听器正常工作，而且还主动提出去我祖父母的公寓教他们如何使用它)”可知，安娜和以前的听力学家的不同在于她为病人提供个人帮助。故选A。 37．推理判断题。根据第四段“Then I came across a study that suggested news coverage of current affairs tends to be more negative than positive because humans tend to give negative events more attention.(然后我看到了一项研究，该研究表明，对时事的新闻报道往往是消极的，而不是积极的，因为人类倾向于给予负面事件更多的关注)”可推知，关于时事的新闻报道通常消极多于积极是为了更有效地吸引观众。故选B。 38．推理判断题。根据倒数第四段“But if we don't engage with positive ones, they might lead us to be more critical of the world, more defensive and less hopeful.(但如果我们不与积极的人接触，他们可能会让我们对世界更挑剔，更有戒心，更不充满希望)”可推知，只关注负面故事的潜在后果是安全感降低。故选C。 39．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Maybe even paying more attention to good news or making a point of sharing good news will help.(也许更多地关注好消息或强调分享好消息会有所帮助)”和最后一段“Why not remind ourselves that, for all of the bad that's in the world and in the news, behind the scenes, in people's ordinary lives, still lie untold stories of extraordinary good.(为什么不提醒我们自己，尽管世界上和新闻里有那么多不好的事情，但在幕后，在人们的日常生活中，仍然存在着不为人知的非凡美好的故事)”可推知，作者建议人们对世界保持积极的看法。故选D。 (B) A Beginner's Guide to DJI Neo How can I takeoff DJI Neo in palm?

Restart it manually.(更新完成后，DJI Neo将自动关闭电源。手动重启它。)”可知，固件更新后需要手动重新启动DJI Neo。因此选项C是真的。故选C项。 42．细节理解题。根据“2.1 Charging Methods”中的“DJI Neo Two-Way Charging Hub”部分提到的“the charging hub can fully charge three Intelligent Flight Batteries in approximately 60 minutes(充电集线器可以在大约60分钟内充满三个智能飞行电池)”可知，使用充电集线器充满三个智能飞行电池大约需要一小时。故选A项。 (C) You see a fantastic offer, like a hotel room. You decide to book. Then it turns out there is a service fee. Then a cleaning fee. Then a few other extra costs. By the time you pay the final price, it is no longer the fantastic offer you thought. Welcome to the world of drip pricing — the practice of promoting something at an attractive headline price and then, once you’ve committed to the purchase process, hitting you with unavoidable add-ons that are “dripped”. In most cases, you see through all additionally added mandatory fees, and even though you could relinquish the deal, you choose to bite the bullet and complete the deal. Resistance to the idea of starting the search all over again is not simply a matter of laziness or indecision. There’s a profound psychological mechanism at play here, called the present bias. In the paper, Doing It Now or Later, economist Matthew Rabin defines people’s present-biased preference via an example of choosing between doing seven hours of unpleasant activity on April 1 or eight hours two weeks later: If asked on February 1, most people will choose the earlier option. But come April 1, given the same choice, most of us tend to put off work till April 15. In simple terms, the inconvenience of doing something “right now” often feels disproportionately large. Beyond the challenge of starting over, there’s another psychological phenomenon that drip pricing uses - loss aversion. Imagine you’re booking tickets for a show. Initially attracted by the headline price, you’re now presented with different seating categories. Seeing a VIP ticket is within your budget, you decide to fork out. But then, during the checkout process, the drip begins. You realize you could have chosen lower-category seats, but by this stage, you’ve already imagined yourself enjoying the show from those nice seats. Going back to a cheaper seat will feel like a loss. Buyers would benefit from a ban on drip pricing. Many countries are taking steps to protect consumers from drip pricing. The effectiveness of such measures, however, is uncertain. Nonetheless, you can hopefully make a more informed decision by understanding why the strategy works. 43．Which of the following is an example of drip pricing? A．FlightHub introduces a bonus after you choose their flight. B．Airbnb offers you a membership account when you book a trip. C．Rent-A-Car charges wear and tear fees beyond the advertised price. D．Ticketmaster provides optional items at later stages of your purchase. 44．What does the underlined word “relinquish” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Reach. B．Abandon. C．Sign. D．Expand. 45．How will Rabin explain people’s refusal to cancel an order and remake one? A．People are likely to blindly stick to their initial intentions. B．People like to grab earlier rewards and delay immediate costs. C．People struggle to make a decision among multiple choices. D．People tend to tolerate additional costs within their budget. 46．What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A．To explain why people fall into the drip pricing trick. B．To educate customers on how to deal with drip pricing. C．To call on governments to protect consumers’ interests. D．To introduce two psychological phenomena about spending. 【答案】43．C 44．B 45．B 46．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了滴漏式定价的策略及其背后的心理学机制，以及消费者为何容易陷入这种定价陷阱。 43．推理判断题。由文章第二段“Welcome to the world of drip pricing — the practice of promoting something at an attractive headline price and then, once you’ve committed to the purchase process, hitting you with unavoidable add-ons that are “dripped”. (欢迎来到滴漏式定价的世界——一种以吸引人的标题价格促销商品的做法，然后，一旦你承诺购买过程，就会用不可避免的“滴漏式”附加条款来打击你。)”可知，Rent-A-Car在广告价格之外收取磨损费是滴漏式定价的一个例子。故选C。 44．词句猜测题。由第三段中“In most cases, you see through all additionally added mandatory fees, and even though you could relinquish the deal, you choose to bite the bullet and complete the deal. (在大多数情况下，你看透了所有额外的强制性费用，即使你可以relinquish这笔交易，你还是选择咬紧牙关完成这笔交易。)”可知，尽管你可以放弃这笔交易，但你还是选择咬紧牙关完成交易。relinquish意为“放弃”。A. Reach达到；B. Abandon放弃；C. Sign签名；D. Expand扩展。故选B。 45．推理判断题。由第四段中“In the paper, Doing It Now or Later, economist Matthew Rabin defines people’s present-biased preference via an example of choosing between doing seven hours of unpleasant activity on April 1 or eight hours two weeks later: If asked on February 1, most people will choose the earlier option. But come April 1, given the same choice, most of us tend to put off work till April 15. (经济学家马修·拉宾在论文《现在做还是以后做》中，通过一个在4月1日做7小时不愉快的活动，还是在两周后做8小时不愉快的活动之间进行选择的例子，定义了人们对现在的偏好：如果在2月1日被问及这个问题，大多数人会选择更早的选项。但到了4月1日，如果面临同样的选择，我们大多数人倾向于把工作推迟到4月15日。)”可知，拉宾通过一个例子来解释人们拒绝取消订单并重新下单的原因，这个例子是选择在4月1日做7个小时的不愉快活动，还是在两周后做8个小时的活动。这表明人们喜欢提前获得奖励并推迟立即的成本。故选B。 46．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第二段“Welcome to the world of drip pricing — the practice of promoting something at an attractive headline price and then, once you’ve committed to the purchase process, hitting you with unavoidable add-ons that are “dripped”. (欢迎来到滴漏式定价的世界——一种以吸引人的标题价格促销商品的做法，然后，一旦你承诺购买过程，就会用不可避免的“滴漏式”附加条款来打击你。)”和最后一段中“Buyers would benefit from a ban on drip pricing. Many countries are taking steps to protect consumers from drip pricing. The effectiveness of such measures, however, is uncertain. Nonetheless, you can hopefully make a more informed decision by understanding why the strategy works. (买家将从滴漏式定价禁令中受益。许多国家正在采取措施保护消费者免受滴漏式定价的影响。然而，这些措施的有效性尚不确定。尽管如此，你还是可以通过理解为什么这个策略有效而做出更明智的决定。)”可知，文章主要介绍了滴漏式定价的策略，解释了为什么人们会落入这种定价策略的陷阱，并讨论了禁止滴漏式定价的措施。因此，作者的主要目的是解释为什么人们会落入滴漏式定价的陷阱。故选A。 Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. A．It is flexible enough to turn down into a grimace (鬼脸) or up into a smile. B．This is “an exciting area of development,” but market adoption would be complex. C．It could bend like a human finger, making it capable of performing more precise tasks. D．While protecting a robot’s complex machinery, it is soft and light enough for a wide range of uses. E．This capacity is a “critical feature” for humanoid robots as even small scratches could lead to breakdowns. F．The skin attachment also gives humanoid robots the potential for sensation, taking science one step closer to sci-fi fantasy. Giving Robots a Fleshy Face and a Smile If humanoid robots look a bit cold-would it help if they had fleshy faces that can smile at you? A research team in Japan has created a face mask from human skin cells and attached it to robots with a novel technique. 47 .  This outward layer, the researchers say, is both elastic and durable enough to protect robots while making them appear more human. “Human-like faces and expressions improve communication and empathy in human-robot interactions,” said Shoji Takeuchi, the study’s lead researcher. “This further makes robots more effective in health care, service and companionship roles.” Beyond expressiveness, the “skin” can self-repair and heal. 48 . The novel skin attachment method advances the newborn “biohybrid” robotics field, said Kevin Lynch, an expert on robotics and biosystems. This field integrates mechanical engineering with genetic and tissue engineering. “This study is an innovative contribution to the problem of anchoring artificial skin to the underlying material,” said Lynch.  Takeuchi’s team has been working with labmade human skin for years. In 2022, they developed a robotic finger covered in living skin. 49 . The team had tried anchoring the skin with mini-hooks, but those caused tears as the robot moved. The researchers then decided to mimic ligaments (韧带), the tiny ropes of loose tissue that connect bones. They drilled small, V-shaped holes into the robot and applied a gel，which plugged the holes and made the artificial skin attach to the robot.  “This approach integrates traditional rigid robots with soft, biological skins, making them more ‘human-like,’” said Yifan Wang, a mechanical engineer. 50 . “This could create opportunities for the robots to sense and safely interact with humans,” Wang said. The faces of the robots with artificial skin in Takeuchi’s lab are unable to sense touch or temperature change. Takeuchi said that is his next research target. “We aim to create skin that closely resembles real skin by gradually constructing essential components such as blood vessels, nerves and sweat glands,” he said. In place of the neural systems that convey sensation in a human body, a robot’s electronics would need to power a sensor signal. This development, Wang said, would require much more time and research. 【答案】47．A 48．E 49．C 50．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了日本的一个研究团队用人的皮肤细胞创造了一种面罩，并将其用新技术附着在机器人上，使机器人更具人性化，同时也探讨了这种技术的发展前景和面临的挑战。 47．根据上文“A research team in Japan has created a face mask from human skin cells and attached it to robots with a novel technique.(日本的一个研究团队用人的皮肤细胞创造了一种面罩，并将其用新技术附着在机器人上)” 以及下文“This outward layer, the researchers say, is both elastic and durable enough to protect robots while making them appear more human.(研究人员说，这种外层既具有弹性又足够耐用，可以保护机器人，同时使它们看起来更像人类)”可知，此处上下文在描述这种面罩特点，A项“While protecting a robot’s complex machinery, it is soft and light enough for a wide range of uses.(它有足够的灵活性，可以向下变成鬼脸或向上变成微笑。)”表达的含义符合语境，描述这种外层的特点。故选A。 48．根据上文“Beyond expressiveness, the “skin” can self-repair and heal.(除了具有表现力之外，这种“皮肤”还可以自我修复和愈合)” 以及下文 “The novel skin attachment method advances the newborn “biohybrid” robotics field.(这种新颖的皮肤附着方法推动了新生的“生物混合”机器人领域的发展)” 可知，这里说的是这种自我修复和愈合能力重要性，E项“This capacity is a ‘critical feature’ for humanoid robots as even small scratches could lead to breakdowns.(这种能力对于人形机器人来说是一个“关键特征”，因为即使是很小的划痕也可能导致故障)”表达的含义符合语境，故选E。 49．根据上文“In 2022, they developed a robotic finger covered in living skin.(2022年，他们开发了一种覆盖着活体皮肤的机器人手指)”可知上文提到了开发了一种覆盖着活体皮肤的机器人手指，可推理出下文应对这种手指的功能做进一步介绍，C项“It could bend like a human finger, making it capable of performing more precise tasks.(它可以像人类手指一样弯曲，使其能够执行更精确的任务)”表达的含义符合语境，故选C。 50．根据下文“This could create opportunities for the robots to sense and safely interact with humans.(这可能为机器人感知和安全地与人类互动创造机会)”可知下文说的是这种皮肤能为机器人感知和安全地与人类互动创造机会，可推理出上文需要填入一个说明这种技术给机器人带来感知潜力的句子，F项“The skin attachment also gives humanoid robots the potential for sensation, taking science one step closer to sci-fi fantasy.(这种皮肤附着也给人形机器人带来了感知的潜力，使科学离科幻幻想又近了一步)”符合语境，故选F。 III.Summary Writing Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Light the Cities of the Future The previously unlit cycle path in the Netherlands has recently drawn our attention. It has been resurfaced with a material that consists of shining stones in order to create a well-lit route. The Van Gogh path, so called after the artist who lived in the town of Nuenen in 1883, combines the traditional with the contemporary in a gesture that acknowledge Van Gogh’s masterpiece. The Starry Night, but also shows the way ahead for city lighting. The Van Gogh path is not a single case: it’s not difficult to foresee a time when natural materials could help light the cities of the future. Why should we care about city lighting? What’s wrong with current electrical lighting anyway? Well, the problem that it causes is two-fold. First, of course, electricity in most cities come from non-renewable resources. According to the International Energy Agency, almost 20% of global electricity is consumed for lighting, which is responsible for high levels of car emissions. But there’s also the belief that electric light itself is a form of pollution by destroying our view of night sky. For the above reasons, then, it seems wise to investigate other approaches. The city of Glasgow, is attempting to use intellect street lighting, to monitor how citizen interact with the urban landscape and minimize electricity consumption and thus emissions. This “Smart City” approach is seen by many as the way of the future, but some designers are not convinced. They’re pioneering the altogether more original approach of using materials from the natural world in order to replace electric light entirely. They believe that this new “technology” can one day completely replace microchips and digital systems as we find better ways of making use of the light-producing machines that already exist in the natural world. 51._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________   【答案】 The passage discusses the innovation in city lighting by introducing the Van Gogh Path in the Netherlands, which uses luminous stones for illumination.

(coexist) 【答案】Growth and comfort can’t coexist, can they? 【详解】考查动词、名词和反义疑问句。表示“成长”用名词growth，表示“舒适”用名词comfort，二者为并列关系，用连词and连接，growth and comfort为主语，句首单词首字母大写。表示“不能”用情态动词的否定形式can’t；表示“共存”用coexist，位于can’t后，动词用原形。陈述部分是否定的，反问部分将陈述句的否定形式改成肯定形式，陈述部分用can’t，疑问部分用can，主语用they“它们”，代替Growth and comfort。故翻译为Growth and comfort cannot coexist, can they? 54．这本小册子使我相信价格中包含送货费, 但事实并非如此。(lead) 【答案】This booklet led me to believe that the delivery fee was included in the price, but it wasn’t the case. 【详解】考查短语、时态、语态和宾语从句。陈述过去事情，用一般过去时。“这本小册子”翻译为This booklet；“使某人做某事”用短语lead sb. to do sth.；“相信”用动词believe，后接宾语从句。从句不缺少成分，且句意完整，所以用连接代词that引导。“送货费”翻译为 the delivery fee，在从句中作主语；“包含”用动词include，与从句主语之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态；“价格中”翻译为 in the price；“但事实并非如此”翻译为 but it wasn’t the case。故翻译为This booklet led me to believe that the delivery fee was included in the price, but it wasn’t the case. 55．这家医院的医生医术精湛，护士无微不至地照顾病人，许多入院的人多年的疾病得以康复也就不足为奇了。(It) 【答案】The doctors in this hospital are highly skilled and the nurses take good care of the patients. It is not surprising that many people admitted to the hospital recover from years of illness. 【详解】考查形容词、副词、动词短语和it用法。句子描述客观情况，用一般现在时；“这家医院的医生”翻译为the doctors in this hospital；“医术精湛”翻译为be highly skilled，主语是the doctors，be动词用are；“护士”翻译为the nurses；“无微不至地照顾病人”翻译为take good care of the patients；“不足为奇”用固定句型It is not surprising that表示，其中it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的that从句，“许多入院的人”翻译为many people admitted to the hospital；“多年的疾病得以康复”翻译为recover from years of illness。故整句翻译为The doctors in this hospital are highly skilled and the nurses take good care of the patients. It is not surprising that many people admitted to the hospital recover from years of illness.

As part of the “Beautiful Campus Project,” I would like to propose a creative and practical plan to optimize our school’s garden area. I suggest transforming it into a “Reading Garden.” This space could include comfortable seating, shade-giving plants, and small water features to create a serene environment for students to read and relax.
