We normally agree about where to go each year but this time we may have some problems finding some places that will satisfy both of us. Alice, my wife, has had a difficult year at work and she has already said to me that she wants to free herself for a couple of weeks in the countryside, breathing fresh air. As for me, I’d rather do something more active than that. I know I’ll get tired if we just stay on the beach all day. Yesterday a friend of mine showed me photographs of his holiday last year and I must say it looked very interesting. He and his wife hired a car for four weeks and went on a tour of Ireland, visiting different towns, sightseeing and sometimes walking along the river. The car was wide and equipped with everything that they needed for a short touring holiday, including a shower. I’ll mention it to Alice later on. She is likely to be happy with such an idea. 第二部分 阅读 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Content Writing Intern (实习生) Tellstory is looking for talented content writers.

Wolf is the founder of UnChained, a nonprofit organization in northern California that pairs vulnerable young people with abandoned or abused dogs that have been rescued from shelters. The youth learn to train the dogs in basic skills and better prepare them for adoption. UnChained, founded in 2011, was born from Wolf’s own passion and personal experiences. When she was in her early 20s and working for a nonprofit in Texas, she was shocked by the animal neglect (忽视) she witnessed in some areas. “Our kids often share very similar stories to the dogs, and we bring that into our classes. Many of our kids have experienced risk factors that have led them to the lives where they are,” Wolf said. “They experience joy, anger, fear and loneliness. When young people in our program can understand that they may share a similar story with a dog in need, and help that dog on a path to success, it can transform how they see themselves and their future.” The program fosters empathy, compassion, and responsibility as students train and build trust with their designated (认定的) dog. At the end of the eight weeks, there is a graduation ceremony where adopters, parents, and teachers gather to celebrate the young people and dogs alike. And students get to show guests what they’ve taught their dogs. By establishing an emotional connection and teaching young people about a dog’s needs, Wolf says her team sees a change occur. It’s a win-win for both the young person and the animal. “There is a lighting up of those children’s eyes and faces, and we start to see the magic that happens and our kids’ understanding that dogs experience feelings very similar to humans,” Wolf said. 24. What is the goal of the UnChained program? A. To provide legal aid for animals. B. To train the youth to prepare dogs for adoption. C. To offer job services to troubled teens. D. To pair the youth with dogs for friendship. 25. Which of the following motivated Wolf to establish UnChained? A. Her career as a dog trainer. B. A vision for a new pet adoption model. C. A general passion for animal rights. D. Her witness to neglected animals. 26. What do the youth do at the graduation ceremony? A. Say good-bye to their parents. B. Present their academic progress. C. Show their dog training results. D. Meet with adoptive dog owners. 27. How does Wolf sound in the last paragraph? A. Encouraged and satisfied. B. Nervous and thrilled. C. Appreciative and optimistic. D. Reflective and hopeful. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Melissa Wolf创立的非营利组织UnChained如何通过让青少年训练救助犬来改变他们的人生轨迹。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Wolf is the founder of UnChained, a nonprofit organization in northern California that pairs vulnerable young people with abandoned or abused dogs that have been rescued from shelters. The youth learn to train the dogs in basic skills and better prepare them for adoption.(沃尔夫是位于加州北部的非营利组织UnChained的创始人。该组织将处于弱势的青少年与从收容所救出的被遗弃或受虐待的狗配对。这些青少年会学习如何训练狗狗掌握基本技能，使它们更易于被人领养)”可知，UnChained项目的目标是培训年轻人学习训练狗的基本技能，为狗狗被收养做好准备。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“When she was in her early 20s and working for a nonprofit in Texas, she was shocked by the animal neglect (忽视) she witnessed in some areas.(当她在二十岁出头，在德克萨斯州的一家非营利组织工作时，她对自己在某些地区目睹的动物被忽视的情况感到震惊)”可知，Wolf建立UnChained的动力是她在德克萨斯州工作时目睹的动物被忽视的情况。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“At the end of the eight weeks, there is a graduation ceremony where adopters, parents, and teachers gather to celebrate the young people and dogs alike. And students get to show guests what they’ve taught their dogs.(八周结束后，会举行一个毕业典礼，领养者、家长和老师会聚在一起庆祝这些年轻人和狗狗们的成就。学生们还可以向来宾展示他们教给狗狗的技能)”可知，在毕业典礼上，年轻人会展示他们教给狗的技能。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中Wolf所说的话“There is a lighting up of those children’s eyes and faces, and we start to see the magic that happens and our kids’ understanding that dogs experience feelings very similar to humans.(孩子们的眼睛和脸庞上闪烁着光芒，我们开始见证奇迹的发生，以及我们的孩子逐渐理解狗狗的感受其实与人类非常相似)” 可知，Wolf在这段话中表现出了对项目成果的鼓舞和满意。故选A。 C It comes as no surprise to anyone who sweated through it: 2023 was an extremely hot year in human history. According to a report, the average surface temperature rose nearly0.2 ℃ above the previous record, set in 2016, to 1.48 ℃ above pre-industrial levels. Only Australia was spared record-setting heat. Humanity’s burning of fossil fuels is the dominant driver of the long-term trend, but it is insufficient to explain the sudden rise in temperatures in 2023. One worsening factor was the end of a La Niña climate pattern, which from 2020 to 2022 stirred up a rising amount of deep cold water in the eastern Pacific Ocean that absorbed heat and controlled global temperatures. In 2023, the pattern changed into an El Niño event, which blanketed the equatorial Pacific with warm waters and began to boost global temperatures. But the change is not enough to explain the temperature record from 2023. Usually, El Niño plays a larger role in global temperatures the year after it starts. The eruption of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai, a volcano in the South Pacific Ocean, has been a suspect in the global temperature jump because of the vast amounts of climate-warming water vapor it injected into the stratosphere (平流层). Perhaps the best explanation for the extra warming is the continued drop in light-blocking pollution as society shifts to cleaner sources of energy. In 2022, satellites began to detect this decrease from space. It comes as no surprise to anyone who sweated through it: 2023 was an extremely hot year in human history.

In 2022, satellites began to detect this decrease from space. The mystery of 2023 leaves predictions for 2024 less certain than usual. El Nino may raise temperatures further, briefly pushing the world past the 1.5℃ limit settled by the 2015 Paris Agreement to protect small-island nations from the sea-level spike. But extreme heat will again have to develop over the northern oceans for the world to exceed the limit—hardly a sure bet. Regardless, the long-term warming pattern is certain to continue, as it has for decades, until fossil fuel burning ends. 28. How does the author lead in the topic of the text? A. By presenting scientific research. B. By stating a common phenomenon. C. By declaring Australian record-setting heat. D. By showing temperatures from 2016 to 2023. 29. What can we learn about El Niño in 2023? A. It might cause deep cold water to decline. B. It turned into the La Niña climate pattern. C. It might impact world temperatures in 2024. D. It contributed to the extreme heat from 2020 to 2022. 30. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 3? A. To analyse possible reasons for the 2023 temperature rise. B. To analyse potential causes of air pollution in 2022. C. To analyse potential causes of the volcano’s eruption. D. To analyse possible reasons for satellite detection. 31. What does the underlined word “spike” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Exploration. B. Pollution. C. Detection. D. Increase. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了2023年极度炎热的原因。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“It comes as no surprise to anyone who sweated through it: 2023 was an extremely hot year in human history. (对于经历过的人来说，这并不奇怪：2023年是人类历史上极其炎热的一年。)”可推知，这是通过陈述一个普遍现象来引出文章的主题，即2023年的高温。故选B。 29题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段最后一句“But the change is not enough to explain the temperature record from 2023. Usually, El Niño plays a larger role in global temperatures the year after it starts. (但这种变化还不足以解释2023年的温度记录。通常，厄尔尼诺现象在开始后的第二年对全球气温的影响更大。)”可知，2023年的厄尔尼诺现象对2024年的全球气温可能会有较大影响。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The eruption of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai, a volcano in the South Pacific Ocean, has been a suspect in the global temperature jump because of the vast amounts of climate-warming water vapor it injected into the stratosphere (平流层). Perhaps the best explanation for the extra warming is the continued drop in light-blocking pollution as society shifts to cleaner sources of energy. In 2022, satellites began to detect this decrease from space.(南太平洋火山洪阿哈阿帕伊岛（Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai）的喷发被认为是导致全球气温上升的原因之一，因为它向平流层注入了大量能导致气候变暖的水蒸气。而对此次额外增温的最佳解释可能是，随着社会转向更清洁的能源，遮光污染持续减少。2022年，卫星开始从太空探测到这种污染的减少。)”可知，作者写第三段的目的是分析2023年气温上升的可能原因。故选A。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段第二句“El Nino may raise temperatures further, briefly pushing the world past the 1.5℃ limit settled by the 2015 Paris Agreement to protect small-island nations from the sea-level spike. (厄尔尼诺现象可能会使气温进一步升高，短暂地将世界推向超过2015年《巴黎协定》规定的1.5℃的限制，以保护小岛屿国家免受海平面spike的影响。)”和常识可知，气温升高会导致海平面上升，因此，划线单词“spike”在此处应表示“增加”。故选D。 D Even though artificial intelligence (AI) can pass the bar exam, top medical tests and read bedtime stories with emotion, it will never match the wonders of the human mind without first mastering the art of sarcasm (讽刺). But it seems that art will be next on the list of technology's astonishing capabilities. Researchers in the Netherlands have built an AI-driven sarcasm detector. “We are able to recognize sarcasm in a reliable way, and we’re eager to develop that further,” said Matt Coler at the University of Groningen’s speech technology lab. “We want to see how far we can push it.” There is more to the project than teaching algorithms (算法) that sometimes even the most emotional comments cannot be taken literally and must, instead, be interpreted as the exact opposite. Sarcasm affects our communication more than we might appreciate, so understanding it is crucial if humans and machines are to communicate smoothly. “When you start studying sarcasm, you become aware of the extent to which we use it as part of our normal mode of communication,” Coler said. “But we have to speak to our devices in a very literal way because we are talking to a robot. It doesn’t have to be this way.” In work presented at a joint meeting in Ottawa, Xiyuan Gao, a PhD student at the lab, described how the group trained a neural (神经的) network on text, audio, and emotional content of video scenes from US situation comedies. The database was created by researchers in the US and Singapore, who explained sentences from the TV shows with sarcasm labels to build their own detector. After training on the text, audio, and emotional content from various scenes, AI demonstrated an impressive ability to detect sarcasm. The results showed that AI could identify sarcastic remarks in unlabelled exchanges from situation comedies nearly 75% of the time, highlighting significant progress in bridging the communication gap between humans and machines. 32. What is Coler’s attitude to the AI-driven sarcasm detector? A. Modest. B. Optimistic. C. Critical. D. Indifferent. 33. Why is it necessary for AI to understand sarcasm? A. To control humans' emotions. B. To make humans more understanding. C. To facilitate human-machine interaction. D. To develop the AI-driven sarcasm detector. 34. How does AI get trained in sarcasm? A. By sending text. B. By teaching algorithms. C. By using some kind of drama. D. By watching some talent shows. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. The AI Database: Recording Art B. A New Frontier of AI: Detecting Sarcasm C Reliable Ways: Mastering the Art of Sarcasm D. AI: Highlighting the Significant Progress of Humans 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了AI基于情景喜剧中的训练数据来识别讽刺的相关研究。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“We are able to recognize sarcasm in a reliable way, and we’re eager to develop that further.(我们能够以可靠的方式识别讽刺，并且我们渴望进一步开发它。)”和“We want to see how far we can push it.(我们想看看我们能把它推到什么程度。)”可知，从Coler的话中可以看出他对AI驱动的讽刺检测器的发展持有乐观态度，想进一步开发和推进它。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Sarcasm affects our communication more than we might appreciate, so understanding it is crucial if humans and machines are to communicate smoothly.(讽刺对我们的交流的影响比我们想象的要大，所以如果人类和机器想要顺畅地交流，理解讽刺是至关重要的。)”可知，AI理解讽刺是为了促进人机交互，让人类和机器之间的交流更加顺畅。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“In work presented at a joint meeting in Ottawa, Xiyuan Gao, a PhD student at the lab, described how the group trained a neural network on text, audio, and emotional content of video scenes from US situation comedies.(在渥太华的一次联合会议上，实验室的博士生高西元描述了该小组是如何在美国情景喜剧的文本、音频和视频场景的情感内容上训练神经网络的。)”可知，AI是通过使用某种戏剧（情景喜剧）来训练讽刺能力的。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了荷兰研究人员开发了一种AI驱动的讽刺检测器，并解释了AI理解讽刺语气的重要性及其训练方法，因此文章最好的标题是“AI的新领域：检测讽刺”，这个标题准确地概括了文章的主题。故选B。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 I’m sure that you would agree that no two lives are exactly the same. This is true with people’s personalities, physical fitness, intelligence, disabilities, routines, and many other aspects of our lives. ____36____. Sure, we may find we have a lot of similarities with many other people but we’ll never find someone that is exactly the same as us.

But I think only by being there can you truly understand others F. But it’s so very unlikely that a meeting like that would ever happen G. If so, humans could be more sympathetic, understanding and supportive 【答案】36. B 37. F 38. C 39. E 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过阐述人与人之间的独特性，强调了旅行对于增进理解、减少偏见以及促进人类共情、理解和支持的重要性。 【36题详解】 根据前文“I’m sure that you would agree that no two lives are exactly the same. This is true with people’s personalities, physical fitness, intelligence, disabilities, routines, and many other aspects of our lives.(我相信你会同意没有两个生命是完全相同的。人们的性格、身体健康、智力、残疾、日常生活以及生活的许多其他方面都是如此)”可知，此处讲述世界上没有两个人是完全相同的，所以B项“I’ve always been very impressed by unique individuals(我总是对独特的人印象深刻)”承接上文，符合文意。故选B项。 【37题详解】 根据前文“I’m pretty certain that you would be greatly surprised and maybe even super shocked if you met someone who looked exactly like you and their thinking seemed to match yours.(我敢肯定，如果你遇到一个和你长得一模一样的人，他们的想法似乎和你的一样，你会非常惊讶，甚至超级震惊)”以及后文“I’ve visited tons of cities and countries and have met thousands of people, but I’ve never met another person just like me.(我去过很多城市和国家，见过成千上万的人，但我从来没有遇到过另一个和我一样的人)”可知，前文假设遇到相同的人，会有什么反应，后文说从来没有遇到过一样的人，所以F项“But it’s so very unlikely that a meeting like that would ever happen(但这样的会面不太可能发生)”和前文构成转折关系，引出下文，符合文意。故选F项。 【38题详解】 根据后文“They are all unique. I am always amazed at how very different people can be, especially once I meet and get to know them.(他们都是独一无二的。我总是惊讶于人们是如此的不同，尤其是当我遇到并了解他们的时候)”可知，此处提到了“他们”，应是代指前文提到的人，所以空处应提到代指的人，C项“While traveling, I’ve met and seen a great many people(在旅行中，我遇到了很多人)”符合文意。故选C项。 【39题详解】 根据前文“It’s funny how we think we know what other people or other cultures will be like the things we’ve read from books or watched from movies or TV shows.(有趣的是，我们认为自己知道其他人或其他文化会是什么样子，就像我们从书中读到的、从电影或电视节目中看到的那样)”可知，E项“But I think only by being there can you truly understand others(但我认为只有身临其境才能真正了解别人)”和前文构成转折关系，并引出下文“By being there, we can realize that we’re all just human beings and not so different.(通过在那里，我们可以意识到我们都只是人类，并没有什么不同)”符合文意。故选E项。 【40题详解】 设空位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“Unique as people are, it helps to realize that we all share being humans and having really human experiences, emotions, problems, and hopes. I wish we could all appreciate these commonalities while valuing the fascinating uniqueness that we each have.(虽然每个人都是独一无二的，但它有助于我们认识到，我们都是人类，都有真正的人类经历、情感、问题和希望。我希望我们都能欣赏这些共同点，同时重视我们每个人迷人的独特性)”可知，G项“If so, humans could be more sympathetic, understanding and supportive(如果是这样，人类可能会更加同情、理解和支持)”是对前文，作者希望的情况作总结，符合文意。故选G项。 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。 Malcolm, a humble man, lived a modest life.

I packed up my son and my daughter Lucy and headed to a local department store for what I thought would be a normal day of shopping. When I arrived, I grabbed a cart (购物车) on my way in, buckled (扣上) my son in the seat and placed Lucy in the shopping cart. I could see her at all times this way and was hoping to avoid chasing her around the store. At least, that’s what I thought. Shortly after I started shopping, Lucy began to look pale and unwell. She was sitting in the shopping cart and started crying. I tried to comfort her and asked what was wrong, but she was too young to express herself. She continued crying. Suddenly, she fainted. I gently lifted her out of the cart and laid her down on the floor, supporting her head and making sure she was comfortable. Though it lasted only a few seconds, it felt like an eternity (极长的时间). I knelt on the floor, calling her name, hoping she would wake up. Meanwhile, my son was still in the shopping cart, crying. Moments after Lucy fainted, she slowly opened her eyes. I was sitting on the floor, holding her tightly in my arms. I was relieved but still felt fearful. Lucy looked pale. At that very moment, a complete stranger approached us. She gently asked if my daughter was okay and if we needed any assistance. I said yes to her. My son continued to cry loudly from the shopping cart, his tiny face red and distressed. The kind stranger, seeing my struggle to manage both children, offered to hold my son while I focused on comforting my daughter and calming myself down. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I decided to go to a nearby doctor to get Lucy checked out. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then, the stranger got into her own car and followed me to the doctor’s office. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I decided to go to a nearby doctor to get Lucy checked out. I headed towards the exit. When I reached the parking lot, the stranger followed me to my car. She helped buckle the kids into their seats as I wiped away my tears, trying to see clearly enough to drive. I was terrified that my daughter might have a serious problem. I felt disappointed in myself for not noticing her discomfort earlier. I didn’t know what to do and was very scared. The kind stranger continued to comfort me. Then, the stranger got into her own car and followed me to the doctor’s office. She walked in with us and quietly sat in the waiting room until the doctor told me my daughter was okay. It turned out to be a minor issue, and she would be fine. That day, we were very lucky. A stranger showed us kindness. She put aside her own plans to help a young, scared mother in need. She didn’t judge; she simply offered comforting words, and I will always be grateful to her. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，本文讲述了作者带着儿子和女儿露西去当地一家百货商店购物时，露西突然晕倒，一位好心的陌生人伸出援手，不仅帮忙照看作者的儿子，还一路陪伴作者带露西去看医生，直到确认露西无大碍后才离开的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我决定去附近的医生那里给露西检查一下。”可知，第一段可描写作者在紧急状况下有些害怕和担心女儿的状况，此处前来陌生人帮助并安慰作者。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后，陌生人上了她自己的车，跟着我去了医生的办公室。”可知，第二段可描写陌生人陪同作者一起去医院并且在候诊室静静等候，以及作者最终感激陌生人的帮助。 2.续写线索： 作者不知所措——陌生人前来帮助并安慰——陌生人与作者一同去医院——陌生人与作者一同在候诊室默默等候——女儿没事——作者感激陌生人 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①到达：reach/get to ②擦掉：wipe away/erase/wipe off ③提供：offer/provide 情绪类 ①失落：disappointed/upset ②感激的：grateful/appreciative 【点睛】[高分句型1] She helped buckle the kids into their seats as I wiped away my tears, trying to see clearly enough to drive.  （运用了现在分词短语作状语的结构） [高分句型2] She walked in with us and quietly sat in the waiting room until the doctor told me my daughter was okay. （运用了介词短语作状语以及until引导状语从句的结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高三英语试卷 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 (共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

B Melissa Wolf’s clients come in all shapes and sizes. Some have two legs, and some have four. All of them need a second chance. Wolf is the founder of UnChained, a nonprofit organization in northern California that pairs vulnerable young people with abandoned or abused dogs that have been rescued from shelters. The youth learn to train the dogs in basic skills and better prepare them for adoption. UnChained, founded in 2011, was born from Wolf’s own passion and personal experiences. When she was in her early 20s and working for a nonprofit in Texas, she was shocked by the animal neglect (忽视) she witnessed in some areas. “Our kids often share very similar stories to the dogs, and we bring that into our classes. Many of our kids have experienced risk factors that have led them to the lives where they are,” Wolf said. “They experience joy, anger, fear and loneliness. When young people in our program can understand that they may share a similar story with a dog in need, and help that dog on a path to success, it can transform how they see themselves and their future.” The program fosters empathy, compassion, and responsibility as students train and build trust with their designated (认定的) dog. At the end of the eight weeks, there is a graduation ceremony where adopters, parents, and teachers gather to celebrate the young people and dogs alike. And students get to show guests what they’ve taught their dogs. By establishing an emotional connection and teaching young people about a dog’s needs, Wolf says her team sees a change occur. It’s a win-win for both the young person and the animal. “There is a lighting up of those children’s eyes and faces, and we start to see the magic that happens and our kids’ understanding that dogs experience feelings very similar to humans,” Wolf said. 24. What is the goal of the UnChained program? A. To provide legal aid for animals. B. To train the youth to prepare dogs for adoption. C. To offer job services to troubled teens. D. To pair the youth with dogs for friendship. 25. Which of the following motivated Wolf to establish UnChained? A. Her career as a dog trainer. B. A vision for a new pet adoption model. C. A general passion for animal rights. D. Her witness to neglected animals. 26. What do the youth do at the graduation ceremony? A. Say good-bye to their parents. B. Present their academic progress. C. Show their dog training results. D. Meet with adoptive dog owners. 27. How does Wolf sound in the last paragraph? A. Encouraged and satisfied. B. Nervous and thrilled. C. Appreciative and optimistic. D. Reflective and hopeful. C It comes as no surprise to anyone who sweated through it: 2023 was an extremely hot year in human history. According to a report, the average surface temperature rose nearly0.2 ℃ above the previous record, set in 2016, to 1.48 ℃ above pre-industrial levels. Only Australia was spared record-setting heat. Humanity’s burning of fossil fuels is the dominant driver of the long-term trend, but it is insufficient to explain the sudden rise in temperatures in 2023. One worsening factor was the end of a La Niña climate pattern, which from 2020 to 2022 stirred up a rising amount of deep cold water in the eastern Pacific Ocean that absorbed heat and controlled global temperatures. In 2023, the pattern changed into an El Niño event, which blanketed the equatorial Pacific with warm waters and began to boost global temperatures. But the change is not enough to explain the temperature record from 2023. Usually, El Niño plays a larger role in global temperatures the year after it starts. The eruption of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai, a volcano in the South Pacific Ocean, has been a suspect in the global temperature jump because of the vast amounts of climate-warming water vapor it injected into the stratosphere (平流层). Perhaps the best explanation for the extra warming is the continued drop in light-blocking pollution as society shifts to cleaner sources of energy. In 2022, satellites began to detect this decrease from space. It comes as no surprise to anyone who sweated through it: 2023 was an extremely hot year in human history.

El Nino may raise temperatures further, briefly pushing the world past the 1.5℃ limit settled by the 2015 Paris Agreement to protect small-island nations from the sea-level spike. But extreme heat will again have to develop over the northern oceans for the world to exceed the limit—hardly a sure bet. Regardless, the long-term warming pattern is certain to continue, as it has for decades, until fossil fuel burning ends. 28. How does the author lead in the topic of the text? A. By presenting scientific research. B. By stating a common phenomenon. C. By declaring Australian record-setting heat. D. By showing temperatures from 2016 to 2023. 29. What can we learn about El Niño in 2023? A. It might cause deep cold water to decline. B. It turned into the La Niña climate pattern. C. It might impact world temperatures in 2024. D. It contributed to the extreme heat from 2020 to 2022. 30. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 3? A. To analyse possible reasons for the 2023 temperature rise. B. To analyse potential causes of air pollution in 2022. C. To analyse potential causes of the volcano’s eruption. D. To analyse possible reasons for satellite detection. 31. What does the underlined word “spike” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Exploration. B. Pollution. C. Detection. D. Increase. D Even though artificial intelligence (AI) can pass the bar exam, top medical tests and read bedtime stories with emotion, it will never match the wonders of the human mind without first mastering the art of sarcasm (讽刺). But it seems that art will be next on the list of technology's astonishing capabilities. Researchers in the Netherlands have built an AI-driven sarcasm detector. “We are able to recognize sarcasm in a reliable way, and we’re eager to develop that further,” said Matt Coler at the University of Groningen’s speech technology lab. “We want to see how far we can push it.” There is more to the project than teaching algorithms (算法) that sometimes even the most emotional comments cannot be taken literally and must, instead, be interpreted as the exact opposite. Sarcasm affects our communication more than we might appreciate, so understanding it is crucial if humans and machines are to communicate smoothly. “When you start studying sarcasm, you become aware of the extent to which we use it as part of our normal mode of communication,” Coler said. “But we have to speak to our devices in a very literal way because we are talking to a robot. It doesn’t have to be this way.” In work presented at a joint meeting in Ottawa, Xiyuan Gao, a PhD student at the lab, described how the group trained a neural (神经的) network on text, audio, and emotional content of video scenes from US situation comedies. The database was created by researchers in the US and Singapore, who explained sentences from the TV shows with sarcasm labels to build their own detector. After training on the text, audio, and emotional content from various scenes, AI demonstrated an impressive ability to detect sarcasm. The results showed that AI could identify sarcastic remarks in unlabelled exchanges from situation comedies nearly 75% of the time, highlighting significant progress in bridging the communication gap between humans and machines. 32. What is Coler’s attitude to the AI-driven sarcasm detector? A. Modest. B. Optimistic. C. Critical. D. Indifferent. 33. Why is it necessary for AI to understand sarcasm? A. To control humans' emotions. B. To make humans more understanding. C. To facilitate human-machine interaction. D. To develop the AI-driven sarcasm detector. 34. How does AI get trained in sarcasm? A. By sending text. B. By teaching algorithms. C. By using some kind of drama. D. By watching some talent shows. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. The AI Database: Recording Art B. A New Frontier of AI: Detecting Sarcasm C. Reliable Ways: Mastering the Art of Sarcasm D. AI: Highlighting the Significant Progress of Humans 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 I’m sure that you would agree that no two lives are exactly the same.

I packed up my son and my daughter Lucy and headed to a local department store for what I thought would be a normal day of shopping. When I arrived, I grabbed a cart (购物车) on my way in, buckled (扣上) my son in the seat and placed Lucy in the shopping cart. I could see her at all times this way and was hoping to avoid chasing her around the store. At least, that’s what I thought. Shortly after I started shopping, Lucy began to look pale and unwell. She was sitting in the shopping cart and started crying. I tried to comfort her and asked what was wrong, but she was too young to express herself. She continued crying. Suddenly, she fainted. I gently lifted her out of the cart and laid her down on the floor, supporting her head and making sure she was comfortable. Though it lasted only a few seconds, it felt like an eternity (极长的时间). I knelt on the floor, calling her name, hoping she would wake up. Meanwhile, my son was still in the shopping cart, crying. Moments after Lucy fainted, she slowly opened her eyes. I was sitting on the floor, holding her tightly in my arms. I was relieved but still felt fearful. Lucy looked pale. At that very moment, a complete stranger approached us. She gently asked if my daughter was okay and if we needed any assistance. I said yes to her. My son continued to cry loudly from the shopping cart, his tiny face red and distressed. The kind stranger, seeing my struggle to manage both children, offered to hold my son while I focused on comforting my daughter and calming myself down. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I decided to go to a nearby doctor to get Lucy checked out. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then, the stranger got into her own car and followed me to the doctor’s office. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
