Fortunately, there are more resources than ever available online to help you develop your vocabulary, pronunciation and reading comprehension skills. Here are four of the best language learning apps of 2024. Duolingo Duolingo encourages you to make a habit of practicing with a reward system and a social component. You’ll receive between one and five Lingots of app currency for each day in which you meet your set goal, with which you can buy fun decorations in the store. Meanwhile, the in-app social network encourages you to invite your friends to the app and compare scores to see who studies the hardest. Busuu It is user-friendly and offers flexibility(灵活的) in the choice of the courses. You get to pick where you’d like to begin in the course. The app teaches you words and phrases, presenting them both on their own and within sentences. As you progress through the levels, it also evaluates your knowledge through quizzes to ensure you’ re learning effectively. Memrise Memrise is unique in how it teaches new words and phrases. It integrates words into sentences alongside words that sound similar in your language, which makes it easier to remember. You might also meet multiple images(图像) with familiar objects overlaid with foreign words, helping you make stronger connections. Rosetta Stone There are dozens of common phrases that are spoken aloud in the language you want to learn, and you have to repeat the words back to practice your pronunciation. One highlight is that it can skip forward to any lesson or let you follow through from beginning to end. There’s also a phrasebook(用语手册) with basic words and words related to restaurants, hotels, and getting around-all very useful for someone traveling. 31. What can you do with the Duolingo app? A. Practice speaking and listening. B. Interact with other learners. C. Earn cash through log-in. D. Buy decorations in cash. 32. What method does the Busuu app offer to ensure that users learn effectively? A. It improves users’ reading skills. B. It encourages users to invite their friends. C. It provides a phrasebook with basic words. D. It evaluates users’ knowledge through quizzes. 33. Which app is best suited for image-based learners? A. Duolingo. B. Busuu. C. Memrise. D. Rosetta Stone. 34. How does the Rosetta Stone app aid in practicing pronunciation? A. By offering written quizzes. B. By showing videos of native speakers. C. By providing a variety of learning games. D By requiring spoken phrases to be repeated back. 35. What do the Busuu app and the Rosetta Stone app have in common? A. They encourage learning by testing. B. They focus on teaching pronunciation. C. They offer different courses to choose from. D. They adopt themed-based teaching methods. B I’m not a fan of patchwork quilts (拼缝被子). While I appreciate the feelings and effort put into making them, I usually don’t really care about the end result. Surprisingly, however, there is a small patchwork quilt in my home. This quilt originally belonged to my mother. In her later years, after my father passed away, she joined a weekly ‘book club’ with some women from the neighborhood. In fact, it was more of an excuse to get together and drink coffee. One of the ladies, Emily, was skilled in handicrafts and she made my mother a small quilt. For years, this quilt sat folded on a chair in my mom’s living room. It went with her when she moved to a small, one-bedroom suite at an assisted living facility (辅助生活机构). I never saw my mother use it throughout all those years. During one of my visits, I playfully teased (取笑) my mom about her never using the quilt and asked her why she kept it. She said it was because it was a gift from Emily. I questioned further, as she was not particularly close to Emily and did not even like the quilt’s design. Her response remained the same: Because it was from Emily. After thinking this over for several days, I came to realize that the quilt’s value did not lie in its appearance or in its maker, but rather in the significance it held for my mother about neighborliness, community and caring for one another. I inherited (继承) the quilt more than a decade ago and it has remained folded on a shelf ever since. My plan is to one day gift it to my daughter, but I won’t pressure her to keep it, although I’m secretly hoping she will. Patchwork quilts hold stories. The tales we attach to what we see and do enrich our lives, turning the ordinary into something magical. 36. What was the author’s attitude towards patchwork quilts at the beginning? A. The author was eager to learn about them. B. The author didn’t care much for them. C. The author was very fond of them. D. The author admired them greatly. 37. What was the true purpose of the author’s mother attending the “book club”? A. To socialize with neighbors. B. To share handcrafting skills. C. To learn how to make coffee. D. To discuss the books they read. 38. Why did the author’s mother keep the quilt for years without using it? A. She found it too beautiful to use. B. She planned to give it to her daughter. C. It reminded her of the weekly book club. D. It represented the values of community and care. 39. What did the author do with the quilt after inheriting it? A. The author gave it away to a friend. B. The author kept it folded on a shelf. C. The author used it frequently. D. The author redecorated it. 40. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The stories can make our ordinary life more exciting. B. Patchwork quilts are valuable because they are handmade. C. Ordinary objects can become magical through the stories we tell. D. The craftsmanship of patchwork quilts is what makes them special. C Automated kitchens aren’t sci-fi scenes from shows like Star Trek. Right now, robots are used to fry chicken, create pizzas, prepare salads and much more. AI can invent recipes (食谱) based on what a kitchen has. More advanced concepts are in development to automate kitchens for fine dining. Since technology tends to be expensive at first, restaurants and other businesses are the first ones to use AI kitchen technologies. Over time, prices are likely to fall enough for the home market, changing how homes and society work. The benefits of AI kitchens include enabling cooks to avoid boring tasks such as peeling potatoes or standing at a workstation for hours. It can free up time, allowing people to focus on more important tasks. For personalized eating, AI can fit countless special diets and tastes on demand. However, there are risks to human well-being. Cooking is a good activity that helps with communication and self-expression, but these benefits could be diminished (减少) if the human element becomes unnecessary. Family relationships might suffer without the collaborative (协作的) kitchen environment. Furthermore, the kitchen serves as the household’s science laboratory, playing an important role in science education. The art of cooking helps kids learn about materials, chemistry and problem-solving. Cultural risks must also be considered. For example, AI could mess up traditional recipes and methods, as it often stereotypes or oversimplifies cultural details. This may result in AI and robot cooks producing less diverse dishes. Relying too heavily on technology in meal creation may result in a lack of variety, leading to a sameness in taste. That’s akin (类似的) to the strangely similar feel of AI art images across different apps. Convenience can come at a great cost, so it’s important to consider the possible social disruptions (扰乱) that new technologies might bring, especially in areas like food that are closely tied to our everyday lives. 41. What makes AI kitchen technologies an early choice for businesses like restaurants? A. Being able to afford the high costs. B. Being specifically designed for them. C. Reducing the need for human workers. D. Improving communication among staff. 42. What potential benefit of AI kitchens is mentioned in the passage? A. Meeting various tastes. B. Saving money on food. C. Reducing kitchen waste. D. Improving family relationships. 43. What educational role does the kitchen play according to the passage? A. Cultural learning center. B. Nutrition learning environment. C. Artistic skills development space. D. Science lab for materials and chemistry. 44. What is the author’s attitude toward AI kitchens? A. The author doesn’t agree with the use of AI in kitchens. B. The author is completely in favor of AI in kitchens. C. The author is careful about using AI in kitchens. D. The author doesn’t care about AI in kitchens. 45. What’s the best title for this passage? A. AI in the Kitchen: Benefits and Risks B. Robots: The New Chefs in Restaurants C. The Impact of AI vs. Family Relationships D. Traditional Cooking Methods vs. Technology 第Ⅱ卷 注意事项： 1.用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2.本卷共6小题，共25分。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分25分） 第一节：阅读表达 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Kevin Beard is my class instructor. Most week, I’d greet Kevin as he set up gloves, mats, and other equipment. So I was shocked when I arrived one day to find him standing in front of the room telling a story, with tears streaming down his cheeks. I was worried something had gone terribly wrong in his life, but as I listened to him talk, I heard him use words like “amazing” and “accomplishment.” I realized his tears weren’t out of sadness, but happiness. Just a few days earlier, he’d received his GED ( General Equivalency Diploma), at the age of 52. Having dyslexia (阅读障碍), Kevin left school at a young age and then managed to support himself by taking odd jobs. In his mid-30s, Kevin finally landed an opportunity for a job with some promise: working for a Sheriff’s department (治安部门). Amazingly, when he made a clean breast (坦白说出) of his education, they said they would hire him as long as he got his GED. He agreed, optimistic about this new career potential, and kind of excited about having another chance. Kevin studied with a tutor (家庭教师), and he did it for more than a decade , learning and practicing and correcting his mistakes, every free moment he had, often late into the night. It was a huge challenge, something Kevin compares to “climbing a mountain”. In fact, as Kevin took tests along the way, he did something interesting with each of his results. He posted them on his bedroom wall so that he could watch his progress. “I needed to see myself moving forward, and I wanted to speak,” he said. Finally, he made it. “I can’t really describe what it’s like to finally achieve this,” he said. “I can hardly even put it into words. People are giving me graduation gifts! It’s a dream come true.” This might sound like a perfect ending. But for Kevin, it’s a new beginning. He’s on a roll, and his next step is college. “Now that I’ve accomplished my GED, I’m hungry for education,” he said. 46. Why did Kevin cry in the classroom?( no more than 10 words) ________________________________________________________________ 47.

Fortunately, there are more resources than ever available online to help you develop your vocabulary, pronunciation and reading comprehension skills. Here are four of the best language learning apps of 2024. Duolingo Duolingo encourages you to make a habit of practicing with a reward system and a social component. You’ll receive between one and five Lingots of app currency for each day in which you meet your set goal, with which you can buy fun decorations in the store. Meanwhile, the in-app social network encourages you to invite your friends to the app and compare scores to see who studies the hardest. Busuu It is user-friendly and offers flexibility(灵活的) in the choice of the courses. You get to pick where you’d like to begin in the course. The app teaches you words and phrases, presenting them both on their own and within sentences. As you progress through the levels, it also evaluates your knowledge through quizzes to ensure you’ re learning effectively. Memrise Memrise is unique in how it teaches new words and phrases. It integrates words into sentences alongside words that sound similar in your language, which makes it easier to remember. You might also meet multiple images(图像) with familiar objects overlaid with foreign words, helping you make stronger connections. Rosetta Stone There are dozens of common phrases that are spoken aloud in the language you want to learn, and you have to repeat the words back to practice your pronunciation. One highlight is that it can skip forward to any lesson or let you follow through from beginning to end. There’s also a phrasebook(用语手册) with basic words and words related to restaurants, hotels, and getting around-all very useful for someone traveling. 31. What can you do with the Duolingo app? A.

While I appreciate the feelings and effort put into making them, I usually don’t really care about the end result. Surprisingly, however, there is a small patchwork quilt in my home. This quilt originally belonged to my mother. In her later years, after my father passed away, she joined a weekly ‘book club’ with some women from the neighborhood. In fact, it was more of an excuse to get together and drink coffee. One of the ladies, Emily, was skilled in handicrafts and she made my mother a small quilt. For years, this quilt sat folded on a chair in my mom’s living room. It went with her when she moved to a small, one-bedroom suite at an assisted living facility (辅助生活机构). I never saw my mother use it throughout all those years. During one of my visits, I playfully teased (取笑) my mom about her never using the quilt and asked her why she kept it. She said it was because it was a gift from Emily. I questioned further, as she was not particularly close to Emily and did not even like the quilt’s design. Her response remained the same: Because it was from Emily. After thinking this over for several days, I came to realize that the quilt’s value did not lie in its appearance or in its maker, but rather in the significance it held for my mother about neighborliness, community and caring for one another. I inherited (继承) the quilt more than a decade ago and it has remained folded on a shelf ever since. My plan is to one day gift it to my daughter, but I won’t pressure her to keep it, although I’m secretly hoping she will. Patchwork quilts hold stories. The tales we attach to what we see and do enrich our lives, turning the ordinary into something magical. 36. What was the author’s attitude towards patchwork quilts at the beginning? A. The author was eager to learn about them. B. The author didn’t care much for them. C. The author was very fond of them. D. The author admired them greatly. 37. What was the true purpose of the author’s mother attending the “book club”? A. To socialize with neighbors. B. To share handcrafting skills. C. To learn how to make coffee. D. To discuss the books they read. 38. Why did the author’s mother keep the quilt for years without using it? A. She found it too beautiful to use. B. She planned to give it to her daughter. C. It reminded her of the weekly book club. D. It represented the values of community and care. 39. What did the author do with the quilt after inheriting it? A. The author gave it away to a friend. B. The author kept it folded on a shelf. C. The author used it frequently. D. The author redecorated it. 40. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The stories can make our ordinary life more exciting. B. Patchwork quilts are valuable because they are handmade. C. Ordinary objects can become magical through the stories we tell. D. The craftsmanship of patchwork quilts is what makes them special. 【答案】36. B 37. A 38. D 39. B 40. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文通过一个具体的物品——拼缝被子，探讨了家庭、友情和社区的重要性。作者通过个人经历，表达了对情感连接和传承的深刻理解和感悟。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I’m not a fan of patchwork quilts. While I appreciate the feelings and effort put into making them, I usually don’t really care about the end result.(我不喜欢拼缝被子。虽然我欣赏制作它们所付出的感情和努力，但我通常并不关心最终结果。)”可知，作者最初对拼缝被子并不在意。故选B项。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In her later years, after my father passed away, she joined a weekly ‘book club’ with some women from the neighborhood. In fact, it was more of an excuse to get together and drink coffee.(在我父亲去世后的晚年，她加入了社区里一些妇女每周一次的“读书俱乐部”。事实上，这只是她们聚在一起喝咖啡的一个借口。)”可知，作者的母亲参加“读书俱乐部”的真正目的是为了与邻居们社交。故选A项。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“She said it was because it was a gift from Emily. I questioned further, as she was not particularly close to Emily and did not even like the quilt’s design. Her response remained the same: Because it was from Emily.(她说这是因为它是Emily送的礼物。我进一步追问，因为她与Emily并不特别亲近，甚至不喜欢被子的设计。她的回答依然如故：因为它是Emily送的。)”以及第五段中的“I came to realize that the quilt’s value did not lie in its appearance or in its maker, but rather in the significance it held for my mother about neighborliness, community and caring for one another.(我意识到，被子的价值不在于它的外观或制作者，而在于它对母亲关于邻里关系、社区和相互关怀的意义。)”可以推断，作者的母亲保留被子多年未使用的原因是它代表了社区和关怀的价值。故选D项。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段中的“I inherited the quilt more than a decade ago and it has remained folded on a shelf ever since.(我十多年前继承了这块被子，从那以后它一直折叠在架子上。)”可知，作者继承被子后一直将其折叠放在架子上。故选B项。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Patchwork quilts hold stories. The tales we attach to what we see and do enrich our lives, turning the ordinary into something magical.(拼缝被子承载着故事。我们赋予所见所为的故事丰富了我们的生活，将平凡变为神奇。)”可以推断，最后一段的大意是普通的物品通过我们讲述的故事变得非凡。故选C项。 C Automated kitchens aren’t sci-fi scenes from shows like Star Trek. Right now, robots are used to fry chicken, create pizzas, prepare salads and much more. AI can invent recipes (食谱) based on what a kitchen has. More advanced concepts are in development to automate kitchens for fine dining. Since technology tends to be expensive at first, restaurants and other businesses are the first ones to use AI kitchen technologies. Over time, prices are likely to fall enough for the home market, changing how homes and society work. The benefits of AI kitchens include enabling cooks to avoid boring tasks such as peeling potatoes or standing at a workstation for hours. It can free up time, allowing people to focus on more important tasks. For personalized eating, AI can fit countless special diets and tastes on demand. However, there are risks to human well-being. Cooking is a good activity that helps with communication and self-expression, but these benefits could be diminished (减少) if the human element becomes unnecessary. Family relationships might suffer without the collaborative (协作的) kitchen environment. Furthermore, the kitchen serves as the household’s science laboratory, playing an important role in science education. The art of cooking helps kids learn about materials, chemistry and problem-solving. Cultural risks must also be considered. For example, AI could mess up traditional recipes and methods, as it often stereotypes or oversimplifies cultural details. This may result in AI and robot cooks producing less diverse dishes. Relying too heavily on technology in meal creation may result in a lack of variety, leading to a sameness in taste. That’s akin (类似的) to the strangely similar feel of AI art images across different apps. Convenience can come at a great cost, so it’s important to consider the possible social disruptions (扰乱) that new technologies might bring, especially in areas like food that are closely tied to our everyday lives. 41. What makes AI kitchen technologies an early choice for businesses like restaurants? A. Being able to afford the high costs. B. Being specifically designed for them. C. Reducing the need for human workers. D. Improving communication among staff. 42 What potential benefit of AI kitchens is mentioned in the passage? A. Meeting various tastes. B. Saving money on food. C Reducing kitchen waste. D. Improving family relationships. 43. What educational role does the kitchen play according to the passage? A. Cultural learning center. B. Nutrition learning environment. C. Artistic skills development space. D. Science lab for materials and chemistry. 44. What is the author’s attitude toward AI kitchens? A. The author doesn’t agree with the use of AI in kitchens. B. The author is completely in favor of AI in kitchens. C. The author is careful about using AI in kitchens. D. The author doesn’t care about AI in kitchens. 45. What’s the best title for this passage? A. AI in the Kitchen: Benefits and Risks B. Robots: The New Chefs in Restaurants C. The Impact of AI vs. Family Relationships D. Traditional Cooking Methods vs. Technology 【答案】41 A 42. A 43. D 44. C 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了AI厨房技术的发展及其对餐饮业和家庭生活的影响，同时分析了这种技术可能带来的社会、文化和教育层面的风险。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Since technology tends to be expensive at first, restaurants and other businesses are the first ones to use AI kitchen technologies. (由于技术一开始往往很昂贵，餐馆和其他企业是第一批使用人工智能厨房技术的人)”可知，能够负担得起高昂的成本让人工智能厨房技术成为餐馆等企业的早期选择。故选A。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“For personalized eating, AI can fit countless special diets and tastes on demand. (对于个性化饮食，人工智能可以根据需要适应无数特殊的饮食和口味)”可知，AI厨房能够满足各种不同的口味需求。故选A。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Furthermore, the kitchen serves as the household’s science laboratory, playing an important role in science education. The art of cooking helps kids learn about materials, chemistry and problem-solving. (此外，厨房作为家庭的科学实验室，在科学教育中发挥着重要作用。烹饪的艺术帮助孩子们学习材料、化学和解决问题)”可知，厨房扮演着的教育角色为：材料与化学科学实验室。故选D。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据文章第三段“The benefits of AI kitchens include enabling cooks to avoid boring tasks such as peeling potatoes or standing at a workstation for hours. It can free up time, allowing people to focus on more important tasks. For personalized eating, AI can fit countless special diets and tastes on demand. (人工智能厨房的好处包括使厨师能够避免枯燥的任务，比如削土豆皮或在工作站站几个小时。它可以腾出时间，让人们专注于更重要的任务。对于个性化饮食，人工智能可以根据需要适应无数特殊的饮食和口味)”和第四段“However, there are risks to human well-being. Cooking is a good activity that helps with communication and self-expression, but these benefits could be diminished (减少) if the human element becomes unnecessary. Family relationships might suffer without the collaborative (协作的) kitchen environment. (然而，这对人类福祉是有风险的。烹饪是一项很好的活动，有助于交流和自我表达，但如果人类因素变得不必要，这些好处就会减少。如果没有合作的厨房环境，家庭关系可能会受到影响)”及最后一段“Convenience can come at a great cost, so it’s important to consider the possible social disruptions (扰乱) that new technologies might bring, especially in areas like food that are closely tied to our everyday lives.(便利的代价是巨大的，所以考虑新技术可能带来的社会混乱是很重要的，尤其是在食品等与我们日常生活密切相关的领域)”可知，作者对AI厨房持谨慎态度，既指出了其潜在的好处，也提到了可能带来的风险，如影响家庭关系、文化多样性减少等。故选C。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段“Convenience can come at a great cost, so it’s important to consider the possible social disruptions (扰乱) that new technologies might bring, especially in areas like food that are closely tied to our everyday lives.(便利可能会带来巨大的代价，因此重要的是要考虑新技术可能带来的社会干扰，特别是在与我们日常生活密切相关的食品领域。)”可知，文章探讨了AI在厨房中的应用及其带来的利弊，整篇文章围绕AI厨房技术的好处与风险展开讨论，因此最佳标题应为“AI in the Kitchen: Benefits and Risks (厨房中的人工智能：好处和风险)”。故选A。 第Ⅱ卷 注意事项： 1.用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。 2.本卷共6小题，共25分。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分25分） 第一节：阅读表达 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 Kevin Beard is my class instructor. Most week, I’d greet Kevin as he set up gloves, mats, and other equipment. So I was shocked when I arrived one day to find him standing in front of the room telling a story, with tears streaming down his cheeks. I was worried something had gone terribly wrong in his life, but as I listened to him talk, I heard him use words like “amazing” and “accomplishment.” I realized his tears weren’t out of sadness, but happiness. Just a few days earlier, he’d received his GED ( General Equivalency Diploma), at the age of 52. Having dyslexia (阅读障碍), Kevin left school at a young age and then managed to support himself by taking odd jobs. In his mid-30s, Kevin finally landed an opportunity for a job with some promise: working for a Sheriff’s department (治安部门). Amazingly, when he made a clean breast (坦白说出) of his education, they said they would hire him as long as he got his GED. He agreed, optimistic about this new career potential, and kind of excited about having another chance. Kevin studied with a tutor (家庭教师), and he did it for more than a decade , learning and practicing and correcting his mistakes, every free moment he had, often late into the night. It was a huge challenge, something Kevin compares to “climbing a mountain”. In fact, as Kevin took tests along the way, he did something interesting with each of his results. He posted them on his bedroom wall so that he could watch his progress. “I needed to see myself moving forward, and I wanted to speak,” he said. Finally, he made it. “I can’t really describe what it’s like to finally achieve this,” he said. “I can hardly even put it into words. People are giving me graduation gifts! It’s a dream come true.” This might sound like a perfect ending. But for Kevin, it’s a new beginning. He’s on a roll, and his next step is college. “Now that I’ve accomplished my GED, I’m hungry for education,” he said. 46.
