Unusual behaviors are often our pets’ way of telling us to stop what we’re doing and play with them. It’s why Fido constantly chases his tail and why Kitty keeps rolling around. A desperately bored pet may have “bad” behaviors to get a reaction-even a negative one! Feed me. Sure, your dog loves you, but that’s not why he’s licking(舔)your face. A puppy learns to lick his mother’s mouth to get a little leftover food, so Spot isn’t kissing you in our sense of the word; he just wants a snack. I’m stressed. Cat owners also misinterpret their furry friends’ kisses. While a cat might lick you to show love, sometimes she’ll do it to ease herself. One way to tell if her licking is stress-related is to see if it goes on for an extended period of time. Birds also overclean when they feel anxious. Some will even drag out their own feathers. My tail tells all. Dogs wag(摇)their tails to the right when they see something or someone they want to approach, and to the left when they see something they want to avoid. When frightened, dogs curl their tails in, while cats wrap theirs around themselves. And if a cat’s tail looks like a question mark, she’s eager to play. 1. What does a dog show if it kisses its owner? A. Hunger. B. Love. C. Fear. D. Sadness. 2. How many kinds of pets are mentioned in the text? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 3. What will happen if birds get anxious? A. They will drag others’ feathers. B. They will approach someone they like. C. They will clean their feathers more than necessary. D. They will stare at their owners for a longer time. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了三种宠物表达某些想法时的一些行为表现。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A puppy learns to lick his mother’s mouth to get a little leftover food, so Spot isn’t kissing you in our sense of the word; he just wants a snack.(小狗学会舔妈妈的嘴来吃剩下的食物，所以斑点不是我们所说的“亲吻”；他只是想吃点零食。)”可知，小狗亲吻它的主人是想要表达饥饿的意思。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段提到的dog，第三段提到的cat和birds可知，可知，文中共提到三种宠物。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Birds also overclean when they feel anxious. Some will even drag out their own feathers.(鸟类在感到焦虑时，也会过度清洁。有些甚至会拔它们自己的羽毛。)”可知鸟类感到焦虑时，它们会过渡清洁羽毛。故选C。 B Did you know that the average American child aged between 8 and 12 spends four hours a day on screens? That works out to cover 1, 200 hours a year. While some of this screen time may serve a social or educational purpose, there’s no way that most kids need that much of it. We also know that too much screen time damages our mental and physical health. Kids are suffering from being sedentary (久坐的) and online for too long. Starting in 2011, Ginny Yurich, a mother of five kids, urges her family to spend at least 1,000 hours outside every year.A year later, Yurich calculated that her kids had spent as much time outdoors as most American kids spend online. This, combined with the real benefits her family was experiencing is the driving force in the creation of 1,000 Hours Outside, Yurich’s website that challenges other families to do the same. She adivises using a physical tracking sheet to see the progress. “Often, nature play is an activity that gets our leftover time. Usually, if there’s nothing else to do, we play outside. That single tracking sheet, with all those spaces to fill in, keeps the outdoors at the forefront of our minds and reminds us that it is a worthy activity choice.” When asked whether it was another burden on their schedule, Yurich disagreed. “Some people may worry that a lot of time outdoors could have a negative influence on children’s grades. Actually, any time I spend outside has helped me be a better person. For my children, nature play has helped them socially, emotionally, and physically. There is not one other activity out there that gives you more bang for your buck (美元) and often it doesn’t even cost a buck.” Yurich, who estimates that over 100,000 families worldwide have participated in her challenge so far, hears from numerous people whose lives have improve as a direct result of it. They share joyful photos and describe special moments they would have otherwise missed. This reflects exactly what Yurich has learned herself — everyone is growing when we consistently include nature time in our lives. 4. What’s the function of the first paragraph? A. To arouse kids’ interest. B. To reveal a phenomenon. C. To put forward a question. D. To stress American parents’ concern. 5. Why did Ginny Yurich create 1,000 Hours Outside? A. To remind herself of her attention. B. To post her family’s life experiences. C. To track her children’s outdoor activities. D. To urge more families to get close to nature/. 6. Which of the following will Yurich agree with? A. Nature play costs nothing and benefits us greatly. B. Nature play is better to be done in our spare time. C. Nature play should give way to children’s studies. D. Nature play is sometimes a burden on our schedule. 7. What can you infer from the last paragraph? A. 1,000 Hours Outside turned out to be a hit. B. Yurich is fond of doing something challenging. C. Yurich enjoys sharing photos with her followers. D. 1,000 Hours Outside helps people have a stricter sense of time. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了Ginny Yurich发起的运动“1000 Hours Outside”受到人们的欢迎。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Did you know that the average American child aged between 8 and 12 spends four hours a day on screens?That works out to cover 1,200 hours a year. While some of this screen time may serve a social or educational purpose, there’s no way that most kids need that much of it. We also know that too much screen time damages our mental and physical health(你知道8到12岁的美国孩子平均每天花4个小时在屏幕上吗？这样算下来，一年1200个小时要在屏幕前度过。虽然一些看屏幕的时间可能是为了社交或教育目的，但大多数孩子不可能需要那么长时间。我们也知道，看屏幕时间过长会损害我们的身心健康”可知，美国8到12岁的儿童平均每天花四个小时在屏幕上，揭示了一种现象，即孩子们花太多时间在屏幕上，影响身心健康。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Starting in 2011, Ginny Yurich,a mother of five kids, urges her family to spend at least 1,000 hours outside every year. A year later,Yurich calculated that her kids had spent as much time outdoors as most American kids spend online.This, combined with the real benefits her family was experiencing is the driving force in the creation of 1000 Hours Outside, Yurich’s website that challenges other families to do the same.(从2011年开始，五个孩子的母亲Ginny Yurich每年都鼓励家人至少在户外待1000小时一年后，尤里奇计算出她的孩子们在户外待的时间和大多数美国孩子上网的时间一样多。这与她家人经历的实际好处结合在一起成为尤里奇创建“1000 Hours Outside”网站的推动力，这个网站向其他家庭发起同样的挑战”可知，Ginny Yurich创立“1000 Hours Outside”是为了鼓励其他家庭也像她的家庭一样，每年花1000小时在户外活动。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“There is not one other activity out there that gives you more bang for your buck(美元)and often it doesn’t even cost a buck.(没有别活动比这更物有所值了，而且往往一分钱都不用花)”可知，Yurich认为自然玩耍不花钱且受益匪浅。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Yurich, who estimates that over 100,000 families worldwide have participated in her challenge so far(据Yurich估计，到目前为止，全球已有超过10万个家庭参与了她的挑战)”可推测出，“1000 Hours Outside”已经成为一个成功的项目，有很多家庭参与其中。故选A。 C With everything else that technology can do for us today. It’s probably not that shocking that AI (artificial intelligence) can search the Internet and various databases for facts and report back on its findings. But what about writing a coherent (连贯的) — perhaps even entertaining fictional story? To confirm it, I tried to use an AI writing machine a story as you can see from the sample below, which it created after I entered the first two sentences in italics (斜体). Sarah began driving even though she had no idea where she was going. The night was cold,and within minutes the first raindrops began to appear on her windscreen. She drove for two hours until she was back in downtown Ottawa. She walked out into the street, crying. I was shaking in my boots. I asked for a lift to the airport. As soon as I sat in the car, the rain started. Pam’s insurance representative picked us up in the late afternoon and we were back in Edmonton in time for lunch. The two sentences following my input are actually quite satisfying, but then the point of view suddenly jumps to the first person, and the events in every new sentence seem to be jumping around in time illogically. And who’s Pam. Anyway? However, as the article by Techopedia explains, true writing is drive by a purpose to inform,entertain and persuade the readers, or perhaps a combination of these. And while the newest technology might be able to write clear, coherent sentences without a grammatical error in sight, its purpose is to match its surroundings, not to create truly original ideas. Given these surroundings,we can conclude that AI isn’t ready to write like Hemingway, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be useful to writers. For example, if you’re suffering from bottlenecks, feeling AI a few lines of whatever you’ve got so far could give you a fresh point of view, and even enlighten you on some new ideas about where to take your story. Rather than leading us to some future with no writers or creativity, thus could actually do a lot to help writers create more. 8. How did the author answer his question about AI in paragraph 1? A. By doing a test on AI. B. By referring to related papers. C. By conducting a survey of writers. D. By adopting the method of writing an essay. 9. What do we know about AI’s writing from the text? A. It has unreasonable content. B. It has an appropriate point of view. C. It features a serious and formal form. D. It often contains grammatical mistakes. 10. What’s the author’s suggestion on AI’s writing? A. Use it to polish the original article. B. Rely on it to create good stories. C. Apply it in non-literary writing. D. Regard it as an inspiration. 11. What would be the best title for the text? A. How Can Writers Make Use Of AI? B. Can AI Be Used to Create Stories? C. Will AI Replace Human Writers? D. What is AI Writing? 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了人工智能在写作方面的应用，尤其是在创造故事方面的能力。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“To confirm it,I tried to use an AI writing machine a story as you can see from the sample below, which it created after I entered the first two sentences in italics (斜体).(为了证实这一点，我尝试使用AI写作机器编写一个故事，如下面的示例所示，在我以斜体输入前两句话后，它就创建了这个故事)”可知，通过对人工智能进行测试回答第一段中关于人工智能的问题。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“And while the newest technology might be able to write clear,coherent sentences without a grammatical error in sight, its purpose is to match its surroundings,not to create truly original ideas.(虽然最新的技术可能能够写出清晰连贯的句子而不会出现语法错误，但它的目的是为了与周围环境相匹配，而不是创造真正的原创思想)”可知，人工智能的写作具有不合理的内容。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“For example, if you’re suffering from bottlenecks, feeling AI a few lines of whatever you’ve got so far could give you a fresh point of view, and even enlighten you on some new ideas about where to take your story. Rather than leading us to some future with no writers or creativity, thus could actually do a lot to help writers create more.(举个例子来说，如果你遇到瓶颈，那么你所拥有的一些AI内容便能够带给你全新的视角，甚至能够启发你关于故事发展方向的新想法。而不是引导我们走向一个没有作家或创造力的未来，因此实际上可以做很多事情来帮助作家创造更多)”可知，作者认为把人工智能看作是一种灵感来源。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“It’s probably not that shocking that AI (artificial intelligence) can search the Internet and various databases for facts and report back on its findings. But what about writing a coherent (连贯的) — perhaps even entertaining fictional story?( 人工智能（AI）可以在互联网和各种数据库中搜索事实，并报告其发现，这可能并不令人震惊。但是写一个连贯的——甚至是有趣的虚构故事呢)”以及根据倒数第二段“And while the newest technology might be able to write clear,coherent sentences without a grammatical error in sight,its purpose is to match its surroundings,not to create truly original ideas.(虽然最新的技术可能能够写出清晰连贯的句子而不会出现语法错误，但它的目的是为了与周围环境相匹配，而不是创造真正的原创思想)”以及根据最后一段“For example, if you’re suffering from bottlenecks, feeling AI a few lines of whatever you’ve got so far could give you a fresh point of view, and even enlighten you on some new ideas about where to take your story. Rather than leading us to some future with no writers or creativity, thus could actually do a lot to help writers create more.(举个例子来说，如果你遇到瓶颈，那么你所拥有的一些AI内容便能够带给你全新的视角，甚至能够启发你关于故事发展方向的新想法。而不是引导我们走向一个没有作家或创造力的未来，因此实际上可以做很多事情来帮助作家创造更多)”可知，短文以作者利用人工智能写作的事情来说明人工智能的写作不是创造真正的原创思想。但是这并不意味着它对作家没有用处。所以短文的标题为“AI可以用来创造故事吗？”切题。故选B项。 D While hydroponic farms (growing plants in water), also known as “vertical (垂直的) farms”, exchange land use for electricity use, one project is trying to take the best of both worlds. Using only natural heat for photosynthesis (光合作用) and heat, Shokcingly Fresh’s greenhouse in Offenham,England, can produce four-times the output compared with regular farming, while using much less energy than other vertical farms. This is because other vertical farms are closed systems, relying on man-made LED light and indoor heating to keep crops comfortable. “It is better for the environment. I can’t say it’s carbon-neutral but it isn’t as carbon-hungry as an LED vertical farm would be,” Nick Green, development director of Shocking Fresh, said. While other producers might say that Shockingly Fresh’s use of natural light means they can’t keep up the 24-7 production typical of farms that can leave the lights on all night, the company stresses that they match the consumption patterns of humans and use far less energy in the process. “Production isn’t completely linear even though it would be in a fully-lit vertical farm, but people don’t eat less as much lettuce in winter as they do in summer,” he explained. Offenham was completed in 2021, and is already producing lettuce and bok choy for sale at supermarkets, with strawberries planned for winter when the days become shorter. Even though Green thinks they can produce 2 million heads of lettuce per year, the location is just one-tenth of the size of future projects. Offtenham covers 3 acres. The Longford Vertical Farm currently in the planning phase, will cover 32. Situated in between Glasgow and Edinburgh with good access to major roads, Longford will include rainwater catching systems to aid with cutting energy costs, and native landscaping around the former raining area. Hydroponics is allowing cities to have access to fresh produce much nearer to their high-rises. For example, a 51-story “farmscraper” is covered in hydroponic farms that grow food for those who live within, in Shenzhen, China. They’re also appearing on rooftops, like in Montreal, which will provide 2% of all food consumed in the Canadian metropolis. 12. Why do plants of Shockingly Fresh have a higher output than other vertical farms? A. They are exposed to a natural environment for growth. B. They are saved from the harm of man-made light. C. They are offered a better photosynthesis system. D. They are provided with more heat and light. 13. What does the underlined word “linear” mean in paragraph 3? A. Seasonal. B. Harmonious. C. Reasonable. D. Continuous. 14. What can we know about the longford Vertical Farm? A. It is linked to highly advanced transportation systems. B. Its production counts largely on its surroundings. C It has a grand plan for further development. D. Its energy saving system is world-famous. 15. What’s the benefit of hydroponics to cities? A. Helping to strengthen the rooftops. B. Giving a greener city environment. C. Creating beautiful natural scenery for cities. D. Making fresh produce available more conveniently. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了“垂直农场”的优势。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Using only natural heat for photosynthesis (光合作用) and heat, Shokcingly Fresh’s greenhouse in Offenham, England, can produce four-times the output compared with regular farming(仅使用自然热进行光合作用和加热，位于英格兰奥芬汉姆的Shokcingly Fresh温室的产量是常规农业的四倍)”可知，“Shockingly Fresh”的植物比其他垂直农场有更高的产量是因为它们暴露在自然环境中生长。故选A项。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“While other producers might say that Shockingly Fresh’s use of natural light means they can’t keep up the 24-7 production typical of farms that can leave the lights on all night( 虽然其他生产商可能会说，Shockingly Fresh使用自然光意味着他们无法保持农场7天24小时不间断的生产，因为农场可以整夜开着灯)”可知，下文是对上文的反驳，即使它将在一个完全照明的垂直农场，生产也不是不间断的。所以划线词为“持续的”。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Even though Green thinks they can produce 2 million heads of lettuce per year, the location is just one-tenth of the size of future projects.(尽管管格林认为他们每年可以生产200万棵生菜，但这个地方的面积只有未来项目的十分之一)”以及根据第五段“The Longford Vertical Farm currently in the planning phase, will cover 32. Situated in between Glasgow and Edinburgh with good access to major roads, Longford will include rainwater catching systems to aid with cutting energy costs, and native landscaping around the former raining area.(目前处于规划阶段的Longford垂直农场将占地32英亩。Longford位于格拉斯哥和爱丁堡之间，交通，将包括雨水收集系统，以帮助降低能源成本，并在以前的训练区域周围进行本地景观设计)”可知，Longford Vertical Farm有扩大规模的计划，即有远大的发展规划。故选C项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Hydroponics is allowing cities to have access to fresh produce much nearer to their high-rises.(水培法使城市能够在离高楼更近的地方获得新鲜农产品)”可知，水培对城市的好处是让人们更方便地获得新鲜农产品。故选D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。 While traveling in a group makes a journey fun, it can come with challenges.

Failure to interpret a gesture ____38____ (accurate) may lead to communication barriers and even conflicts. Therefore, we should learn to perceive and assess the joys and sorrows ____39____ (demonstrate) by someone’s body language and then adjust the way we talk accordingly. For instance, when a person feels embarrassed or ashamed, he will ____40____ (low) his head or bend over, staring at the ground. If someone boils with anger or experiences anxiety, he will have a tendency ____41____ (cross) his arms in front of his chest. When he feels proud, we may witness him ____42____ (straighten) up. Nodding one’s head means agreement or approval. From one’s eyes barely moving or a distant expression on the face, ____43____ we may infer is that the person is distracted. Of course, we can’t always make reliable inferences because body language ____44____ (vary) from culture to culture. Nevertheless, we still call on people to learn to read body language.

(运用了动名词作主语) 第二节 读后续写（满分25分） 47. Mya was a middle school student. Her English teacher, a friendly lady, was strict with her students and attached great importance to their practical skills. Every semester, every student was assigned a task — do an act of “kindness” with their own effort and take photos to record the memorable moment. The exciting part was that the most moving photo would be selected and published in the school magazine. When Mya was wondering what she could do, she suddenly came up with an idea, she could buy some gifts for the orphans (孤儿) on Children’s Day. But where should she get the money? Lost in thought, she had no idea. But while she caught sight of other kids buying something in the store with pocket money, and idea flashed her mind — earn some pocket money by making handicrafts (工艺品). Mya shared her idea with her family during dinner that evening, which won their approval and support. During their conversation, her elder sister, Lily, suggested handicrafts should come in various styles and shapes and be easy to carry, which may appeal to more people. Most importantly, they should be sold at a reasonable price. Over the next few weeks, Mya and her family were occupied in making full preparations for it. Everyone was busy making colorful friendship bracelets(手链), hand-painted greeting cards,and adorable keychains. Every beautiful shell strung on the chain was collected from the beach by Mya and her sister. Mya’s mother painted delicate designs on the greeting cards with each stroke carrying a message of love. Mya’s dad skillfully carved the small wooden stand by hand, where all kinds of handicrafts would be on display. Laughter filled the room now and then. The process of making handicrafts together brought them closer as a family and made Mya become confident about the “kindness”act, which she thought would be a success without any doubt. Paragraph 1: However, their journey was not as easy as they had imagined. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: On Children’s Day, Mya and her family set off for the orphanage (孤儿院). _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: However, their journey was not as easy as they had imagined. Despite their meticulous preparations, setting up their small stall at the weekend market proved challenging. Initially, few passersby seemed interested in their crafts. Mya felt discouraged and thought about giving up. However, her family encouraged her to keep trying. Inspired, Mya decided to engage people by sharing the story behind each handicraft and its purpose. Slowly but surely, Mya’s enthusiastic storytelling caught attention, and customers began to stop, listen, and eventually purchase the items. By the end of the day, they had sold a significant number of crafts. Paragraph 2: On Children’s Day Mya and her family set off for the orphanage with excitement. With the money they earned, they bought a variety of gifts—books, toys, and art supplies. Arriving at the orphanage, the children’s eyes lit up with joy and appreciation. Mya felt a deep sense of fulfillment as she handed out the gifts. The smiles on the children’s faces made all the effort worthwhile. Her teacher was moved by her dedication and featured the touching story and photo of the joyful children in the school magazine, inspiring others to take part in acts of kindness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Mya在老师布置的任务下，通过制作手工艺品筹款为孤儿采购礼物的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，他们的旅程并不像他们想象的那么容易”可知，第一段可描写她在市场上销售工艺品初期遇到的挫折和最终获取成功的方法 ②由第二段首句内容“儿童节那天，米亚和她的家人兴奋地出发去孤儿院。”可知，第二段可描写Mya用赚来的钱为孤儿买礼物，并感受到快乐与成就的情感升华。 2.续写线索：开始不顺利——想要放弃——鼓励——成功——买礼物送给孤儿——孩子们快乐——Mya感到满足——鼓励其他人参与善行义举之中来 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①放弃：give up /quit ②鼓励：encourage/motivate ③买：purchase /buy ④感动：move/touch 情绪类 ①心灰意冷的：discouraged/ disheartened ②快乐的：joyful/pleased 【点睛】[高分句型1] With the money they earned, they bought a variety of gifts — books, toys, and art supplies.

Unusual behaviors are often our pets’ way of telling us to stop what we’re doing and play with them. It’s why Fido constantly chases his tail and why Kitty keeps rolling around. A desperately bored pet may have “bad” behaviors to get a reaction-even a negative one! Feed me. Sure, your dog loves you, but that’s not why he’s licking(舔)your face. A puppy learns to lick his mother’s mouth to get a little leftover food, so Spot isn’t kissing you in our sense of the word; he just wants a snack. I’m stressed. Cat owners also misinterpret their furry friends’ kisses. While a cat might lick you to show love, sometimes she’ll do it to ease herself. One way to tell if her licking is stress-related is to see if it goes on for an extended period of time. Birds also overclean when they feel anxious. Some will even drag out their own feathers. My tail tells all. Dogs wag(摇)their tails to the right when they see something or someone they want to approach, and to the left when they see something they want to avoid. When frightened, dogs curl their tails in, while cats wrap theirs around themselves. And if a cat’s tail looks like a question mark, she’s eager to play. 1. What does a dog show if it kisses its owner? A. Hunger. B. Love. C. Fear. D. Sadness. 2. How many kinds of pets are mentioned in the text? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 3. What will happen if birds get anxious? A. They will drag others’ feathers. B. They will approach someone they like. C. They will clean their feathers more than necessary. D. They will stare at their owners for a longer time. B Did you know that the average American child aged between 8 and 12 spends four hours a day on screens? That works out to cover 1, 200 hours a year. While some of this screen time may serve a social or educational purpose, there’s no way that most kids need that much of it. We also know that too much screen time damages our mental and physical health. Kids are suffering from being sedentary (久坐的) and online for too long. Starting in 2011, Ginny Yurich, a mother of five kids, urges her family to spend at least 1,000 hours outside every year.A year later, Yurich calculated that her kids had spent as much time outdoors as most American kids spend online. This, combined with the real benefits her family was experiencing is the driving force in the creation of 1,000 Hours Outside, Yurich’s website that challenges other families to do the same. She adivises using a physical tracking sheet to see the progress. “Often, nature play is an activity that gets our leftover time. Usually, if there’s nothing else to do, we play outside. That single tracking sheet, with all those spaces to fill in, keeps the outdoors at the forefront of our minds and reminds us that it is a worthy activity choice.” When asked whether it was another burden on their schedule, Yurich disagreed. “Some people may worry that a lot of time outdoors could have a negative influence on children’s grades. Actually, any time I spend outside has helped me be a better person. For my children, nature play has helped them socially, emotionally, and physically. There is not one other activity out there that gives you more bang for your buck (美元) and often it doesn’t even cost a buck.” Yurich, who estimates that over 100,000 families worldwide have participated in her challenge so far, hears from numerous people whose lives have improve as a direct result of it. They share joyful photos and describe special moments they would have otherwise missed. This reflects exactly what Yurich has learned herself — everyone is growing when we consistently include nature time in our lives. 4. What’s the function of the first paragraph? A. To arouse kids’ interest. B. To reveal a phenomenon. C. To put forward a question. D. To stress American parents’ concern. 5. Why did Ginny Yurich create 1,000 Hours Outside? A. To remind herself of her attention. B. To post her family’s life experiences. C. To track her children’s outdoor activities. D. To urge more families to get close to nature/. 6. Which of the following will Yurich agree with? A. Nature play costs nothing and benefits us greatly. B. Nature play is better to be done in our spare time. C. Nature play should give way to children’s studies. D. Nature play is sometimes a burden on our schedule. 7. What can you infer from the last paragraph? A. 1,000 Hours Outside turned out to be a hit. B. Yurich is fond of doing something challenging. C. Yurich enjoys sharing photos with her followers. D. 1,000 Hours Outside helps people have a stricter sense of time. C With everything else that technology can do for us today. It’s probably not that shocking that AI (artificial intelligence) can search the Internet and various databases for facts and report back on its findings. But what about writing a coherent (连贯的) — perhaps even entertaining fictional story? To confirm it, I tried to use an AI writing machine a story as you can see from the sample below, which it created after I entered the first two sentences in italics (斜体). Sarah began driving even though she had no idea where she was going. The night was cold,and within minutes the first raindrops began to appear on her windscreen. She drove for two hours until she was back in downtown Ottawa. She walked out into the street, crying. I was shaking in my boots. I asked for a lift to the airport. As soon as I sat in the car, the rain started. Pam’s insurance representative picked us up in the late afternoon and we were back in Edmonton in time for lunch. The two sentences following my input are actually quite satisfying, but then the point of view suddenly jumps to the first person, and the events in every new sentence seem to be jumping around in time illogically. And who’s Pam. Anyway? However as the article by Techopedia explains, true writing is drive by a purpose to inform,entertain and persuade the readers, or perhaps a combination of these. And while the newest technology might be able to write clear, coherent sentences without a grammatical error in sight, its purpose is to match its surroundings, not to create truly original ideas. Given these surroundings,we can conclude that AI isn’t ready to write like Hemingway, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be useful to writers. For example, if you’re suffering from bottlenecks, feeling AI a few lines of whatever you’ve got so far could give you a fresh point of view, and even enlighten you on some new ideas about where to take your story. Rather than leading us to some future with no writers or creativity, thus could actually do a lot to help writers create more. 8. How did the author answer his question about AI in paragraph 1? A. By doing a test on AI. B. By referring to related papers. C. By conducting a survey of writers. D. By adopting the method of writing an essay. 9. What do we know about AI’s writing from the text? A. It has unreasonable content. B. It has an appropriate point of view. C. It features a serious and formal form. D. It often contains grammatical mistakes. 10. What’s the author’s suggestion on AI’s writing? A. Use it to polish the original article. B. Rely on it to create good stories. C. Apply it in non-literary writing. D. Regard it as an inspiration. 11. What would be the best title for the text? A. How Can Writers Make Use Of AI? B. Can AI Be Used to Create Stories? C. Will AI Replace Human Writers? D. What is AI Writing? D While hydroponic farms (growing plants in water), also known as “vertical (垂直的) farms”, exchange land use for electricity use, one project is trying to take the best of both worlds. Using only natural heat for photosynthesis (光合作用) and heat, Shokcingly Fresh’s greenhouse in Offenham,England, can produce four-times the output compared with regular farming, while using much less energy than other vertical farms. This is because other vertical farms are closed systems, relying on man-made LED light and indoor heating to keep crops comfortable. “It is better for the environment. I can’t say it’s carbon-neutral but it isn’t as carbon-hungry as an LED vertical farm would be,” Nick Green, development director of Shocking Fresh, said. While other producers might say that Shockingly Fresh’s use of natural light means they can’t keep up the 24-7 production typical of farms that can leave the lights on all night, the company stresses that they match the consumption patterns of humans and use far less energy in the process. “Production isn’t completely linear even though it would be in a fully-lit vertical farm, but people don’t eat less as much lettuce in winter as they do in summer,” he explained. Offenham was completed in 2021, and is already producing lettuce and bok choy for sale at supermarkets, with strawberries planned for winter when the days become shorter. Even though Green thinks they can produce 2 million heads of lettuce per year, the location is just one-tenth of the size of future projects. Offtenham covers 3 acres. The Longford Vertical Farm currently in the planning phase, will cover 32. Situated in between Glasgow and Edinburgh with good access to major roads, Longford will include rainwater catching systems to aid with cutting energy costs, and native landscaping around the former raining area. Hydroponics is allowing cities to have access to fresh produce much nearer to their high-rises. For example, a 51-story “farmscraper” is covered in hydroponic farms that grow food for those who live within, in Shenzhen, China. They’re also appearing on rooftops, like in Montreal, which will provide 2% of all food consumed in the Canadian metropolis. 12. Why do plants of Shockingly Fresh have a higher output than other vertical farms? A. They are exposed to a natural environment for growth. B. They are saved from the harm of man-made light. C. They are offered a better photosynthesis system. D. They are provided with more heat and light. 13. What does the underlined word “linear” mean in paragraph 3? A. Seasonal. B. Harmonious. C. Reasonable. D. Continuous. 14. What can we know about the longford Vertical Farm? A. It is linked to highly advanced transportation systems. B. Its production counts largely on its surroundings. C. It has a grand plan for further development. D. Its energy saving system is world-famous. 15. What’s the benefit of hydroponics to cities? A. Helping to strengthen the rooftops. B. Giving a greener city environment. C. Creating beautiful natural scenery for cities. D. Making fresh produce available more conveniently. 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。 While traveling in a group makes a journey fun, it can come with challenges.

Mya was a middle school student. Her English teacher, a friendly lady, was strict with her students and attached great importance to their practical skills. Every semester, every student was assigned a task — do an act of “kindness” with their own effort and take photos to record the memorable moment. The exciting part was that the most moving photo would be selected and published in the school magazine. When Mya was wondering what she could do, she suddenly came up with an idea, she could buy some gifts for the orphans (孤儿) on Children’s Day. But where should she get the money? Lost in thought, she had no idea. But while she caught sight of other kids buying something in the store with pocket money, and idea flashed her mind — earn some pocket money by making handicrafts (工艺品). Mya shared her idea with her family during dinner that evening, which won their approval and support. During their conversation, her elder sister, Lily, suggested handicrafts should come in various styles and shapes and be easy to carry, which may appeal to more people. Most importantly, they should be sold at a reasonable price. Over the next few weeks, Mya and her family were occupied in making full preparations for it. Everyone was busy making colorful friendship bracelets(手链), hand-painted greeting cards,and adorable keychains. Every beautiful shell strung on the chain was collected from the beach by Mya and her sister. Mya’s mother painted delicate designs on the greeting cards with each stroke carrying a message of love. Mya’s dad skillfully carved the small wooden stand by hand, where all kinds of handicrafts would be on display. Laughter filled the room now and then. The process of making handicrafts together brought them closer as a family and made Mya become confident about the “kindness”act, which she thought would be a success without any doubt. Paragraph 1: However, their journey was not as easy as they had imagined. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: On Children’s Day, Mya and her family set off for the orphanage (孤儿院). _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1—5CBBAA6—10BCBAC 11—15 BACCB 16—20CABCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
