I can’t remember which one it was in particular, but I do remember how my adopted “aunt” Li once took care of me, tucking (塞被角) me up in an armchair in her Chengdu apartment, bringing me a cup of green tea, peeling and cutting fruit for me, chatting about unrelated matters as she prepared one of her wonderful Sichuanese suppers. Like many Chinese people, particularly those of the older generation, she didn’t show her love for me by hugging or requesting emotional outpourings, but through food and over-concern. It took me a while to become used to this way of expressing affection. At first I found it brusque and bossy: “Have some porridge! Drink some soup! Put on some more clothes!” But over time I came to understand what it meant. I can always tell, now, when someone Chinese is becoming fond of me because they start to become over-worried about my physical needs, urging me to eat or drink, to wrap up warm, to rest. When serious-faced chef barks at me to have some more baozi for breakfast or Li presses me to have another mouthful of her red-braised pork, I know they are offering me the edible equivalent of a hug. Food in China can mean many things. It is also art and craft and magic. It is the slices of fish that fall like snow from the knife of the chef, the slivers of meat that dance in the shimmering heat of the wok (炒菜锅), the grains of millet or rice that swell in the steamer. It is the employment of armies of microorganisms in the clay vat of jiang (酱菜缸) or the wine jar, the creating of a hundred flavors in a tiny kitchen, the transformation of natural raw materials into numerous forms. It is finding ways to generate delight in everything from a duck’s tongue to the peel of an orange. It is one of the supreme expressions of human wit and creativity. Above all, it is what connects us and makes us human. 4. Why does the writer mention her mental distress at the beginning? A. To compare the difference in two cultures. B. To introduce how Chinese express their love. C. To highlight how fragile the writer used to be. D. To remind readers of the writer’s homesickness. 5. Which of following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “brusque”? A. Abrupt and simple. B. Impolite and bitter. C. Brave and direct. D. Demanding and abusive. 6. How does the writer develop paragraph 3 to further explain her idea? A. By making comparison. B. By offering more examples. C. By analyzing cause and effect. D. By classifying cooking methods. 7. What message does the author intend to convey through the text? A. Every region has its own specialty. B. Food is culture, and culture is food. C. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. D. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。短文通过作者的经历说明食物即文化，文化即食物. 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In all the time I’ve spent in China, I’ve had my share of emotional crises.(在中国度过的所有时间里，我都经历过情感危机)”及“Like many Chinese people, particularly those of the older generation, she didn’t show her love for me by hugging or requesting emotional outpourings, but through food and over-concern.(像许多中国人，尤其是老一辈的中国人一样，她没有通过拥抱或要求情感宣泄来表达对我的爱，而是通过食物和过度的关心来表达)”可推知，作者在开头提到自己的情感危机是为了引出中国人表达爱的方式，即通过食物和关心来表达情感。故选B项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“It took me a while to become used to this way of expressing affection.(我花了一段时间才习惯这种表达感情的方式)”及下文“bossy(专横的)”和“Have some porridge! Drink some soup! Put on some more clothes!(喝点粥吧！喝点汤！多穿点衣服！)”可知，起初作者觉得这种表达有些粗鲁而专横。由此可知，划线词与Abrupt and simple(唐突而简单)意思接近。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Food in China can mean many things. It is also art and craft and magic. It is the slices of fish that fall like snow from the knife of the chef, the slivers of meat that dance in the shimmering heat of the wok (炒菜锅), the grains of millet or rice that swell in the steamer. It is the employment of armies of microorganisms in the clay vat of jiang (酱菜缸) or the wine jar, the creating of a hundred flavors in a tiny kitchen, the transformation of natural raw materials into numerous forms. It is finding ways to generate delight in everything from a duck’s tongue to the peel of an orange. It is one of the supreme expressions of human wit and creativity.(食物在中国意味着很多东西。它也是艺术、工艺和魔法。从厨师的刀锋上像雪一样落下的鱼片，在锅里闪闪发光的热中跳舞的肉片，在蒸笼里膨胀的小米或大米。它是在陶制的酱菜缸或酒缸中大量使用微生物，是在狭小的厨房里创造出一百种口味，是将天然原料转化为多种形式。从鸭子的舌头到橘子皮，它都在寻找让人愉悦的方法。它是人类智慧和创造力的最高表现之一)”可推知，作者通过提供更多的例来进一步解释她的观点。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But over time I came to understand what it meant. I can always tell, now, when someone Chinese is becoming fond of me because they start to become over-worried about my physical needs, urging me to eat or drink, to wrap up warm, to rest. When serious-faced chef barks at me to have some more baozi for breakfast or Li presses me to have another mouthful of her red-braised pork, I know they are offering me the edible equivalent of a hug.(但随着时间的推移，我开始明白这是什么意思。现在，我总能感觉到，当一个中国人开始喜欢我的时候，因为他们开始过度担心我的身体需求，催促我吃或喝，穿暖和，休息。当一脸严肃的厨师叫着让我早餐再吃点包子，或者李逼着我再吃一口她的红烧肉时，我知道他们给了我一个可食用的拥抱)”及第三段“Food in China can mean many things. It is also art and craft and magic.(食物在中国意味着很多东西。它也是艺术、工艺和魔法)”和最后一段“Above all, it is what connects us and makes us human.(最重要的是，它将我们联系在一起，使我们成为人类)”可推知，作者通过文章传达的信息是食物即文化，文化即食物，强调食物在文化中的重要性和连接性。故选B项。 C There comes a point when a thing becomes too much. It might be at the end of the meal when that final slice of pizza turns you from “comfortably full” to “ergh”, when the car karaoke goes from being huge fun to a throat-aching chore, or when you are dead drunk with friends who have invited you to do shots. The fact that humans have unstoppable thirst and appetites is not new wisdom. It’s found in Ancient Greece and in most of the world’s philosophies today. But in the Swedish idea of lagom it has been given fresh life. Lagom means trying to find moderation rather than constantly grasping for more, which stands in sharp contrast to the American culture. There are two separate aspects of lagom. The first is a kind of social awareness that recognizes that what we do affects other people. If you take three cookies from the plate, two other people aren’t going to get one. The second, however, is a mental shift that finds contentment in satisfaction. Many of us have the idea that bigger means better, that a bank balance means status, and that excess means happiness. Lagom, though, is to enjoy the “just right”, appreciating that sometimes less really is more. After all, talking to a friend over a coffee is nice. But meeting with ten friends after ten coffees does not make things better. So, how are we to apply lagom to our lives? I’m sure your childhood is sprinkled with great holiday memories and brilliant getaways, but chances are that your fondest, deepest memories were those spent simply at home. You do not have to pay lots of money or travel for hours to have fun. A cheaply cooked meal and some old-worn pajamas are “just enough” to have fun. There are other ways we can apply lagom, from how often we see our friends to how much we buy to living sustainably. But the most profound element of lagom is simply to rest and relax when a thing feels good. Simple pleasures do not mean simple humans. 8. What can be learned from paragraph 1? A. Appetite is hard to restrain. B. Friendship means a lot in our life. C. Much time is spent on entertainment. D. Greed inevitably leads to destruction. 9. What does the American culture advocate based on the text? A. The pursuit of more wealth. B. The rejection of bare necessities. C. The promotion of equal opportunities. D. The recognition of philosophers’ contributions. 10. According to the author, we can apply lagom to our lives by ________ . A. doing shopping crazily on a bad day B. spending a marvelous holiday abroad C. having a homely meal with our family D. chatting with ten friends after ten coffees 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Wisdom of Lagom: Redefining Philosophy. B. Swedish Lagom: Moderation and Happiness. C. Lagom and Social Awareness: Sharing and Caring. D. Understanding Lagom: Heritage of Ancient Greece. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了“适中”这种生活态度。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“There comes a point when a thing becomes too much. It might be at the end of the meal when that final slice of pizza turns you from “comfortably full” to “ergh”, when the car karaoke goes from being huge fun to a throat-aching chore, or when you are dead drunk with friends who have invited you to do shots.(有这样一个时刻：一件事变得太多。可能是在用餐结束时，当最后一块披萨让你从“舒适饱腹”变成“呕”时，当汽车卡拉OK从巨大的乐趣变成令人喉咙痛的苦差事时，或者当你和邀请你喝酒的朋友喝得烂醉如泥时)”可知，第一段列举了事情做得过量时会产生的一些不愉快场面，由此可推测出，贪多必然会导致毁灭。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Lagom means trying to find moderation rather than constantly grasping for more, which stands in sharp contrast to the American culture.(“适中”意味着试图找到适度，而不是不断地追求更多，这与美国文化形成了鲜明对比)”可推知，美国文化与“适中”这种生活态度形成鲜明对比，推崇不断地追求更多。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“So, how are we to apply lagom to our lives? I’m sure your childhood is sprinkled with great holiday memories and brilliant getaways, but chances are that your fondest, deepest memories were those spent simply at home. You do not have to pay lots of money or travel for hours to have fun. A cheaply cooked meal and some old-worn pajamas are “just enough” to have fun.(那么，我们该如何将“适中”应用于我们的生活呢？我相信你的童年充满了美好的假期回忆和精彩的度假，但你最喜爱、最深刻的回忆很可能是在家里度过的。你不必花很多钱或旅行几个小时来娱乐。一顿便宜的饭菜和一些破旧的睡衣“刚好足够”享受乐趣。)”可知，我们可以和家人一起吃一顿家常便饭，这是在生活中贯彻“适中”的很好方式。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中的“But in the Swedish idea of lagom, it has been given fresh life. Lagom means trying to find moderation rather than constantly grasping for more, which stands in sharp contrast to the American culture.(但在瑞典的“适中”概念中，它被赋予了新的生命。“适中”意味着试图找到适度，而不是不断地追求更多，这与美国文化形成了鲜明对比。)”和最后一段中的“Simple pleasures do not mean simple humans.(简单的快乐并不意味着简单的人。)”可知，本文主要介绍了“适中”这种生活态度，保持适度可以让我们享受快乐。由此可推测出，B项“瑞典语Lagom：适度和快乐”最适合作本文标题。故选B。 D It’s not easy being a customer service agent — particularly when those customers are so angry with a product that they want to yell at you down the phone. That’s why the Sonos, a maker of home-audio systems, hired Sierra, an AI start-up, to provide it with a customer service program powered by generative artificial intelligence (AI). In recent years, the customer service industry has become famed for driving customers mad with its use of technology. Because it is expensive for firms to use humans to solve their customers’ problems, they make the process as inefficient as possible by forcing you to press an extremely confusing combination of numbers or chat with a bot that recites prepackaged responses. Now entrepreneurs are betting that generative AI can make it all less awful. Unlike the former, generative-AI bots (程序) do not echo routine responses to narrow questions. Instead, they create their own responses informed by the firms’ training materials and previous customer-service interactions. That raises two tricky questions. Advocates for the technology say that customers will no longer have to wait endlessly and point out that programs will be fluent in many languages and have easier-to-understand accents than foreign call-center agents. Customers, though, are yet to be convinced: 64% of those surveyed by Gartner said they would prefer it if companies didn’t use AI for customer service, mostly because they worry it will make it even more difficult to reach a human. What is more, generative-AI bots have a tendency to project complete confidence in their responses even when they are wrong, which could cause chaos. Earlier this year Air Canada was forced to repay a customer who was incorrectly promised a discount by the airline’s AI chatbot. A second question is what all this means for the call-centre agents. It is predicted that generative AI would lead to a 20% — 30% reduction in customer-service jobs by 2026. For now, Mr Goeller says Clearsource is focused on using generative AI to help train its human agents. But he adds, “I would be putting my head in the sand if I said AI wouldn’t replace people. 12. How does generative AI differ from traditional customer service, according to the passage? A. It is curious and multilingual. B. It is intelligent and interactive. C. It is polite and communicative. D. It is cost- effective and welcoming. 13. Why do most customers favor service agents instead of generative AI? A. They find it challenging to deal with. B. They still value human-to-human contact. C. They believe it will not fully deliver its promise. D. They worry about falling victim to its efficiency. 14. What can be inferred from the passage about generative AI in customer service? A. It struggles to bridge the language gap. B. It becomes the major concern for service agents. C. It is only problematic in highly-regulated industry. D. It completely removes human agents from service. 15. What is the writer’s purpose of writing the passage? A. To present the analysis of capabilities of AI. B. To argue the AI’s replacement of service agents. C. To explore the impact of AI on customer service. D. To promote the dominance of AI in customer service. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章详细介绍了生成式人工智能如何在客户服务领域发挥作用，以及这种技术可能带来的问题。此外，本文还探讨了这种技术对人类客服职位的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Unlike the former, generative-AI bots (程序) do not echo routine responses to narrow questions. Instead, they create their own responses informed by the firms’ training materials and previous customer-service interactions.( 与前者不同，生成型人工智能机器人不会对狭隘的问题做出常规回应。相反，他们根据公司的培训材料和之前的客户服务互动，创造自己的回应)”可知，生成式人工智能与传统的客户服务的不同是它是智能和互动的。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Customers, though, are yet to be convinced: 64% of those surveyed by Gartner said they would prefer it if companies didn’t use AI for customer service, mostly because they worry it will make it even more difficult to reach a human.( 然而，客户们还没有被说服：64%的受访者表示，他们更希望公司不使用人工智能来提供客户服务，主要是因为他们担心人工智能会让他们更难联系到人类)”可推知，大多数客户青睐服务代理，而不是生成式人工智能是因为他们仍然重视人与人之间的接触。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s not easy being a customer service agent- particularly when those customers are so angry with a product that they want to yell at you down the phone. That’s why the Sonos, a maker of home-audio systems, hired Sierra, an AI start-up, to provide it with a customer service program powered by generative artificial intelligence(AI).( 当一名客户服务人员并不容易，尤其是当那些客户对产品非常生气，想在电话里对你大喊大叫的时候。因此，家庭音响系统制造商Sonos聘请了人工智能初创企业Sierra，为其提供由生成式人工智能（AI）驱动的客户服务程序)”以及第二段中“In recent years, the customer service industry has become famed for driving customers mad with its use of technology.( 近年来，客户服务行业因其对技术的使用让客户抓狂而闻名。)”和第三段中“Now entrepreneurs are betting that generative AI can make it all less awful.( 如今，企业家们押注，生成式人工智能可以让这一切变得不那么糟糕)”由此可知，从文章中关于客户服务中的生成式人工智能可以推断出它成为服务代理的主要关注点。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第三段“Now entrepreneurs are betting that generative AI can make it all less awful. Unlike the former, generative-AI bots (程序) do not echo routine responses to narrow questions. Instead, they create their own responses informed by the firms’ training materials and previous customer-service interactions.( 如今，企业家们押注，生成式人工智能可以让这一切变得不那么糟糕。与前者不同，生成型人工智能机器人不会对狭隘的问题做出常规回应。相反，他们根据公司的培训材料和之前的客户服务互动，创造自己的回应)”和最后一段中“It is predicted that generative AI would lead to a 20%  — 30% reduction in customer-service jobs by 2026. For now, Mr Goeller says Clearsource is focused on using generative AI to help train its human agents.( 据预测，到2026年，生成型人工智能将导致客户服务岗位减少20%——30%。戈勒表示，Clearsource目前专注于使用生成式人工智能来帮助训练其人类代理)”可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是探索人工智能对客户服务的影响。故选C项。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Stress is big, visible, and obvious. Virtually everyone can recognize, and have sympathy for, normal stress - it comes from universally recognized challenges or setbacks, and often there’s a “bad guy” who is the source of it. Maybe it is continually being called on to help needy friends. ____16____ ____17____ It’s caused by difficult moments that we register as just another bump in the road - if we register them at all. Microstresses come at us so quickly, and we’re so conditioned to just working through them. ____18____ And even when we do register microstress, we don’t necessarily think about its impact on our lives. For example, a minor disagreement with a friend or classmate over something trivial, like lunch plans or group work. Microstresses, as their name implies, are small - may be invisible to spot individually. ____19____ That’s because the source of microstress is seldom a classic antagonist, such as a spectacularly demanding client or a jerk boss. Rather, it comes from the people with whom we are closest: our friends, family members, and colleagues. For example, we may harbor feelings of guilt or failure that we’ve let down someone we care about. The emotion in the relationship - positive or negative - magnifies the impact of the stressor. Of course, you’re never coping with just one or two microstresses. You’re likely facing dozens a day - and you’ve probably come to accept that this way of living is nothing special. “Just let me survive this one week,” you promise yourself, “then I’ll be OK.” Unfortunately, except every week becomes yet another week you just have to survive. ____20____ A. By contrast, microstress is far less obvious. B. And the cycle continues for months on end. C. They tend to seem fleeting, or too minor to hurt us. D. Or it is preparing for an important yet difficult examination. E. Or your phone is dying while out with no charger available. F. However, they involve an emotional baggage that’s not easy to unpack. G. Individual stressors seem management, but they accumulate. 【答案】16. D 17. A 18. C 19. F 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了微压力的表现和潜在的影响。 【16题详解】 前文“Maybe it is continually being called on to help needy friends. (也许它是一直被要求帮助有需要的朋友。)”讲述了导致压力的一种情况，空处应讲述另一种产生压力的情况，结合前文“it is...”形式可知，D项“Or it is preparing for an important yet difficult examination. (或者，它是为一场重要但困难的考试做准备。)”符合题意。故选D。 【17题详解】 根据空后的“It’s caused by difficult moments that we register as just another bump in the road - if we register them at all. Microstresses come at us so quickly, and we’re so conditioned to just working through them. (这是由困难时刻造成的，我们把它们登记为只是路上的又一个颠簸——如果我们真的把它们记下来的话。微压力来得如此之快，我们已经习惯了仅仅克服它们。)”可知，后文讲述了微压力，再结合第一段内容可知，空处应与上文形成转折，引出微压力，A项“相比之下，微应力则不那么明显。”符合题意，与第一段第一句“Stress is big, visible, and obvious. (压力是巨大的、可见的、显而易见的。)”对照。故选A。 【18题详解】 根据空前的“Microstresses come at us so quickly, and we’re so conditioned to just working through them. (微压力来得如此之快，我们已经习惯了仅仅克服它们。)”和空后的“And even when we do register microstress, we don’t necessarily think about its impact on our lives. (即使我们确实感受到了微压力，我们也不一定会考虑它对我们生活的影响。)”可知，空处应承上启下，讲述微压力转瞬即逝，影响很小，C项“它们往往看起来转瞬即逝，或者太小而不会伤害我们。”符合题意。故选C。 【19题详解】 根据空前的“Microstresses, as their name implies, are small - may be invisible to spot individually. (顾名思义，微压力很小，可能无法单独发现。)”和空后的“That’s because the source of microstress is seldom a classic antagonist, such as a spectacularly demanding client or a jerk boss. Rather, it comes from the people with whom we are closest: our friends, family members, and colleagues. For example, we may harbor feelings of guilt or failure that we’ve let down someone we care about. The emotion in the relationship - positive or negative - magnifies the impact of the stressor. (这是因为微压力的来源很少是典型的对手，比如要求苛刻的客户或混蛋老板。相反，它来自我们最亲近的人：我们的朋友、家人和同事。例如，我们可能会感到内疚或失败，因为我们让我们关心的人失望了。关系中的情绪——无论是积极的还是消极的——都会放大压力源的影响。)”可知，空处应与前文讲述的“微压力小得无法发现”形成转折，引出下文讲述的“微压力对我们的情感有影响”，F项“然而，它们涉及一个不容易解开的情感包袱。”符合题意。故选F。 【20题详解】 根据空前“Unfortunately, except every week becomes yet another week you just have to survive. (不幸的是，除了每一周都变成了另一周，你只需要活下去。)”可知，上文讲述了你撑过了一周又一周，空处应进一步说这种循环一直持续，B项“这个循环连续持续好几个月。”符合题意。故选B。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In the summer of 2019, I attended a birthday party in the Lake District.

(运用了不定式作定语) 第二节 (满分25分) 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 In eighth grade our director and drama teacher Mr. Loomis asked me to look for a dog for a supporting role Sandy in our school’s musical. I tried very hard, but in vain. I knew this dog had to have a winning personality, but it would also have to look the part and team up well with the leading role Kayla. “Ashley, I think I can help you get a dog,” offered John, our assistant director, when we were all done for the afternoon. “That’d be great,” I said, opening the stage door. “I have no idea where to get this puppy.” John flashed a smile at me, “I texted my neighbor, who runs the local shelter. She texted me right back saying she could help us. Don’t worry! Mr. Loomis always says theater is for everyone.” Truer words were never spoken. My giant birthmark that covered half of my face would be too much of a distraction. I had acted in one musical and loved it, but afterward I overheard a lady telling Mr. Loomis how kind it had been for him to cast me. After that, I stopped performing and worked behind the scenes. However, looking for the perfect Sandy looked like an impossible task. Desperation forced me to say yes. Hardly had we arrived when John’s neighbor invited us to the backyard. There we saw the dog. “This is the dog you want!” she announced. “He’s obedient and calm.” As she said that, the dog turned around and kissed her. “He’s a three-legged dog!” I exclaimed, stating the obvious. “Yes,” the neighbor explained. “Abandoned after an accident, he was adopted by my friend, who saw his fantastic potential.” “Thank you! Take him for the rehearsal (排练) on Monday morning, please,” John said as we left. All Monday morning I was absent-minded in the classroom. Would he work out as Sandy? Would he chew or bark or do anything bad? Suddenly I heard the familiar voice of John. “Ashley, Mr. Loomis will be waiting for you at his office during the lunch break.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 During the lunch break, I went to the office of Mr. Loomis. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Wednesday night, our Sandy followed Kayla confidently onto the stage. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： During the lunch break, I went to the office of Mr. Loomis. I had butterflies in my stomach, expecting the worst. “He is a perfect Sandy. Well done!” he praised. For a moment, I was shocked. Never in my wildest dream did I imagine the compliment! Casting a confused look at him, I murmured, “Aren’t you worried about his three legs?” Much to my surprise, he denied firmly, “Theater is art, and if everyone in it were perfect, it would be the most boring place in the world. This dog won’t let us down, I believe.” On Wednesday night, our Sandy followed Kayla confidently onto the stage. During the performance, he put his head on Kayla’s lap when she belted out a song and looked appropriately adorable everywhere else. A few people made comments about how sweet it was for us to give this dog a chance, but we pointed out that he was the best dog actor. After that, I mustered my courage to sign up for a performing arts camp. When John asked me, “So you’re returning to the world of performing?” I confidently responded, “After all, theater is for everyone.” 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，以人物为线索。八年级的时候，Loomis先生让作者找一只狗来演配角，在助理导演John的帮助下，作者找到了一只三条腿的狗。作者担心这只狗不能胜任演出，但Loomis先生认为这只狗非常适合Sandy的角色。在表演中，这只狗表现非常出色，这也让作者重新燃气了表演梦。 【详解】1. 续写线索： ①由续写第一段首句“午休时间，我去了Loomis先生的办公室。”可知，第一段可以描写Loomis先生非常满意作者找的这只狗。 ②由续写第二段首句“周三晚上，我们的Sandy自信地跟着Kayla走上舞台。”可知，第二段可以描写这只狗在舞台上表演很成功，这也激发了作者重返舞台的决心。 2. 段落续写：去Loomis先生的办公室——内心忐忑——Loomis先生很满意这只狗——狗在舞台上表现得很成功——作者决心重返表演的世界 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①称赞：praise/compliment ②高声歌唱：belt out/sing loudly ③鼓起勇气：muster one’s courage/pluck up one’s courage ④报名参加：sign up for/enter for 情绪类 ①惊讶的：shocked/surprised ②困惑的：confused/puzzled ③使失望：let down/disappoint 【点睛】【高分句型1】Theater is art, and if everyone in it were perfect, it would be the most boring place in the world.(使用了非真实条件句) 【高分句型2】A few people made comments about how sweet it was for us to give this dog a chance, but we pointed out that he was the best dog actor.

B In all the time I’ve spent in China, I’ve had my share of emotional crises. I can’t remember which one it was in particular, but I do remember how my adopted “aunt” Li once took care of me, tucking (塞被角) me up in an armchair in her Chengdu apartment, bringing me a cup of green tea, peeling and cutting fruit for me, chatting about unrelated matters as she prepared one of her wonderful Sichuanese suppers. Like many Chinese people, particularly those of the older generation, she didn’t show her love for me by hugging or requesting emotional outpourings, but through food and over-concern. It took me a while to become used to this way of expressing affection. At first I found it brusque and bossy: “Have some porridge! Drink some soup! Put on some more clothes!” But over time I came to understand what it meant. I can always tell, now, when someone Chinese is becoming fond of me because they start to become over-worried about my physical needs, urging me to eat or drink, to wrap up warm, to rest. When serious-faced chef barks at me to have some more baozi for breakfast or Li presses me to have another mouthful of her red-braised pork, I know they are offering me the edible equivalent of a hug. Food in China can mean many things. It is also art and craft and magic. It is the slices of fish that fall like snow from the knife of the chef, the slivers of meat that dance in the shimmering heat of the wok (炒菜锅), the grains of millet or rice that swell in the steamer. It is the employment of armies of microorganisms in the clay vat of jiang (酱菜缸) or the wine jar, the creating of a hundred flavors in a tiny kitchen, the transformation of natural raw materials into numerous forms. It is finding ways to generate delight in everything from a duck’s tongue to the peel of an orange. It is one of the supreme expressions of human wit and creativity. Above all, it is what connects us and makes us human. 4. Why does the writer mention her mental distress at the beginning? A. To compare the difference in two cultures. B. To introduce how Chinese express their love. C. To highlight how fragile the writer used to be. D. To remind readers of the writer’s homesickness. 5. Which of following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “brusque”? A. Abrupt and simple. B. Impolite and bitter. C. Brave and direct. D. Demanding and abusive. 6. How does the writer develop paragraph 3 to further explain her idea? A. By making comparison. B. By offering more examples. C. By analyzing cause and effect. D. By classifying cooking methods. 7. What message does the author intend to convey through the text? A. Every region has its own specialty. B. Food is culture and culture is food. C. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. D. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. C There comes a point when a thing becomes too much. It might be at the end of the meal when that final slice of pizza turns you from “comfortably full” to “ergh”, when the car karaoke goes from being huge fun to a throat-aching chore, or when you are dead drunk with friends who have invited you to do shots. The fact that humans have unstoppable thirst and appetites is not new wisdom. It’s found in Ancient Greece and in most of the world’s philosophies today. But in the Swedish idea of lagom, it has been given fresh life. Lagom means trying to find moderation rather than constantly grasping for more, which stands in sharp contrast to the American culture. There are two separate aspects of lagom. The first is a kind of social awareness that recognizes that what we do affects other people. If you take three cookies from the plate, two other people aren’t going to get one. The second, however, is a mental shift that finds contentment in satisfaction. Many of us have the idea that bigger means better, that a bank balance means status, and that excess means happiness. Lagom, though, is to enjoy the “just right”, appreciating that sometimes less really is more. After all, talking to a friend over a coffee is nice. But meeting with ten friends after ten coffees does not make things better. So, how are we to apply lagom to our lives? I’m sure your childhood is sprinkled with great holiday memories and brilliant getaways, but chances are that your fondest, deepest memories were those spent simply at home. You do not have to pay lots of money or travel for hours to have fun. A cheaply cooked meal and some old-worn pajamas are “just enough” to have fun. There are other ways we can apply lagom, from how often we see our friends to how much we buy to living sustainably. But the most profound element of lagom is simply to rest and relax when a thing feels good. Simple pleasures do not mean simple humans. 8. What can be learned from paragraph 1? A. Appetite is hard to restrain. B. Friendship means a lot in our life. C. Much time is spent on entertainment. D. Greed inevitably leads to destruction. 9. What does the American culture advocate based on the text? A. The pursuit of more wealth. B. The rejection of bare necessities. C. The promotion of equal opportunities. D. The recognition of philosophers’ contributions. 10. According to the author, we can apply lagom to our lives by ________ . A. doing shopping crazily on a bad day B. spending a marvelous holiday abroad C. having a homely meal with our family D. chatting with ten friends after ten coffees 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Wisdom of Lagom: Redefining Philosophy. B. Swedish Lagom: Moderation and Happiness. C. Lagom and Social Awareness: Sharing and Caring. D. Understanding Lagom: Heritage of Ancient Greece. D It’s not easy being a customer service agent — particularly when those customers are so angry with a product that they want to yell at you down the phone. That’s why the Sonos, a maker of home-audio systems, hired Sierra, an AI start-up, to provide it with a customer service program powered by generative artificial intelligence (AI). In recent years, the customer service industry has become famed for driving customers mad with its use of technology. Because it is expensive for firms to use humans to solve their customers’ problems, they make the process as inefficient as possible by forcing you to press an extremely confusing combination of numbers or chat with a bot that recites prepackaged responses. Now entrepreneurs are betting that generative AI can make it all less awful. Unlike the former, generative-AI bots (程序) do not echo routine responses to narrow questions. Instead, they create their own responses informed by the firms’ training materials and previous customer-service interactions. That raises two tricky questions. Advocates for the technology say that customers will no longer have to wait endlessly and point out that programs will be fluent in many languages and have easier-to-understand accents than foreign call-center agents. Customers, though, are yet to be convinced: 64% of those surveyed by Gartner said they would prefer it if companies didn’t use AI for customer service, mostly because they worry it will make it even more difficult to reach a human. What is more, generative-AI bots have a tendency to project complete confidence in their responses even when they are wrong, which could cause chaos. Earlier this year Air Canada was forced to repay a customer who was incorrectly promised a discount by the airline’s AI chatbot. A second question is what all this means for the call-centre agents. It is predicted that generative AI would lead to a 20% — 30% reduction in customer-service jobs by 2026. For now, Mr Goeller says Clearsource is focused on using generative AI to help train its human agents. But he adds, “I would be putting my head in the sand if I said AI wouldn’t replace people. 12. How does generative AI differ from traditional customer service, according to the passage? A. It is curious and multilingual. B. It is intelligent and interactive. C. It is polite and communicative. D. It is cost- effective and welcoming. 13. Why do most customers favor service agents instead of generative AI? A. They find it challenging to deal with. B. They still value human-to-human contact. C. They believe it will not fully deliver its promise. D. They worry about falling victim to its efficiency. 14. What can be inferred from the passage about generative AI in customer service? A. It struggles to bridge the language gap. B. It becomes the major concern for service agents. C. It is only problematic in highly-regulated industry. D. It completely removes human agents from service. 15. What is the writer’s purpose of writing the passage? A. To present the analysis of capabilities of AI. B. To argue the AI’s replacement of service agents. C. To explore the impact of AI on customer service. D. To promote the dominance of AI in customer service. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Stress is big, visible, and obvious. Virtually everyone can recognize, and have sympathy for, normal stress - it comes from universally recognized challenges or setbacks, and often there’s a “bad guy” who is the source of it. Maybe it is continually being called on to help needy friends. ____16____ ____17____ It’s caused by difficult moments that we register as just another bump in the road - if we register them at all. Microstresses come at us so quickly, and we’re so conditioned to just working through them. ____18____ And even when we do register microstress, we don’t necessarily think about its impact on our lives. For example, a minor disagreement with a friend or classmate over something trivial, like lunch plans or group work. Microstresses, as their name implies, are small - may be invisible to spot individually. ____19____ That’s because the source of microstress is seldom a classic antagonist, such as a spectacularly demanding client or a jerk boss. Rather, it comes from the people with whom we are closest: our friends, family members, and colleagues. For example, we may harbor feelings of guilt or failure that we’ve let down someone we care about. The emotion in the relationship - positive or negative - magnifies the impact of the stressor. Of course, you’re never coping with just one or two microstresses. You’re likely facing dozens a day - and you’ve probably come to accept that this way of living is nothing special. “Just let me survive this one week,” you promise yourself, “then I’ll be OK.” Unfortunately, except every week becomes yet another week you just have to survive. ____20____ A. By contrast, microstress is far less obvious. B. And the cycle continues for months on end. C. They tend to seem fleeting, or too minor to hurt us. D. Or it is preparing for an important yet difficult examination. E. Or your phone is dying while out with no charger available. F. However, they involve an emotional baggage that’s not easy to unpack. G. Individual stressors seem management, but they accumulate. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In the summer of 2019, I attended a birthday party in the Lake District.

I tried very hard, but in vain. I knew this dog had to have a winning personality, but it would also have to look the part and team up well with the leading role Kayla. “Ashley, I think I can help you get a dog,” offered John, our assistant director, when we were all done for the afternoon. “That’d be great,” I said, opening the stage door. “I have no idea where to get this puppy.” John flashed a smile at me, “I texted my neighbor, who runs the local shelter. She texted me right back saying she could help us. Don’t worry! Mr. Loomis always says theater is for everyone.” Truer words were never spoken. My giant birthmark that covered half of my face would be too much of a distraction. I had acted in one musical and loved it, but afterward I overheard a lady telling Mr. Loomis how kind it had been for him to cast me. After that, I stopped performing and worked behind the scenes. However, looking for the perfect Sandy looked like an impossible task. Desperation forced me to say yes. Hardly had we arrived when John’s neighbor invited us to the backyard. There we saw the dog. “This is the dog you want!” she announced. “He’s obedient and calm.” As she said that, the dog turned around and kissed her. “He’s a three-legged dog!” I exclaimed, stating the obvious. “Yes,” the neighbor explained. “Abandoned after an accident, he was adopted by my friend, who saw his fantastic potential.” “Thank you! Take him for the rehearsal (排练) on Monday morning, please,” John said as we left. All Monday morning I was absent-minded in the classroom. Would he work out as Sandy? Would he chew or bark or do anything bad? Suddenly I heard the familiar voice of John. “Ashley, Mr. Loomis will be waiting for you at his office during the lunch break.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 During the lunch break, I went to the office of Mr. Loomis. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Wednesday night, our Sandy followed Kayla confidently onto the stage. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
