B My childhood was a painted picture of sunny sky and rolling green fields stretching to the horizon.It tasted of sharp berries and smelt of sour grapes.My family lived in a cabin() in the countryside but I lived in my mother's arms.They were so delicate but strong,her red hair falling around me like a curtain separating me from the world. Childhood was simple.The borders of my village were the furthest my troubles went and monsters only lived in the pages of books.Every day was a waking dream of running races and muddy knees.My village was archaic,dying cabins housing dying farmers with dying traditions. There weren't many children but me and the other boys;boys of butchers and sellers formed our own group. They called us wild.I suppose we were.Trees and mountains formed our playgrounds and fights broke out as easily as sudden laughter.Liberated from the restrictions of society,we would 英语试卷第3页（共10页） bound into the woods,deeper and deeper until we found a lake which,with a wild yell,we would jump into all at once. My most vivid memoriesfrom boyhood center around that lake.Water shone brightly and the sounds of our screams broke into.the outery from birds.The shock of cold water against sweating skin would wake every nerve in my body and my bare feet would hit the sinking muddy bottom.As we submerged ()time would suspend,movements slowing as bubbles rose around us.. I was drowning.I was living.I was living.I was drowning. For timelessness or a second (both felt the same),we would suspend,curl up,and then be forced back out into breathing air. We should have known that it wouldn't last forever.Yet,even under the best circumstances,there's something so tragic about growing up:to have your perspectiveon the people and life around you change;to always struggle to reach a mirror only to find yourself tall enough to see your reflection one day.And find,a different person staring back out at you. 24.What does the underlined word"archaic"mean in paragraph 2? A.Borderless. B.Valueless. C.Old-fashioned. D.Poverty-stricken. 25.Why did the author consider himself and other children wild? A.They played in the woods crazily. B.They tricked others purposefully. C.They frequently broke social rules. D.They firmly refused school education. 26.How does the author introduce his memories of the lake?

A.Loneliness and challenges make a man grow up. B.The regret of growth is that you have never tried. C.Growth is often accompanied by sad goodbyes to the past. D.Growth begins when we begin to accept our own weakness C Some futurists have gone so far as to say that,intelligent machines will replace teachers within 10 years.Not surprisingly,this causes concern among educators.As artificial intelligence (AD develops,it is playing an increasingly important role in education.But should teachers really be worried? I have been involved in AI in education throughout my career,developed award-winning AI-based products.While I am more excited than ever about the potential of AI to improve the quality andconomies of learing,I don't think educators should worry about being replaced by machines.Instead,AI is more likely to empower teachers:reduce overwork,and make their jobs 英语试卷第4页（共10页） more rewarding. Studies show that teachers have more impact on students'achievement than any other aspect of schooling,and effective teachers have a lasting impact on students'success.Yet many teachers report that their workload is unmanageable,and much of their time is devoted to activities other than teaching.This is an area where AI can help.For example,by automating the scoring of student work teachers spend less time on grading assignments and data input and management and focus instead on responding to students'needs. Teachers with large classes find it stressful to meet the needs of individual students.AI can give these the practice opportunities and individualized feedback that they otherwise might not receive.Teachers have few opportunities to interact with students outside of the classroom. AI-based learning environments can be made available to students anywhere and anytime. Learing can continue outside of the classroom.This helps every learer to make rapid progress toward mastery of their subjects. Thus,the question should not be whether AI will replace teachers,but how it can support teacher and learners both inside and outside the classroom. 28.According to what futurists say in the first paragraph,we can lear A.AI might be a threat to educators. B.teachers are irreplaceable in school. C.intelligent machines are developing fast. D.the teacher is playing an important role in education. 29.What is the author's opinion about AI in education? A.AI can replace teachers. B.AI is less useful than educators. C.AI can make education very profitable. D.AI has the potential to replace teachers. 。 30.According to the author,AI can support teachers by A.interacting with students. B.helping teachers organize class activities. C.reducing the time teachers spend on activities other than teaching 1片9 D.helping teachers check how students are mastering what they have learnt. 地在 31.What is the author mainly talking about? 一公， 50现 A.The development of AI. ；因因 hm A 1 B.The ways that AI can help educators bab.8 年0.A, C.The importance of educators in education. bopt a 9a心4.7 D.The impacts that teachers have had on education. 4:.8 ,六 D ”出 英语试卷第5瓦（失10页”好 In warming Pacific Northwest,summers are getting hotter and winters less cold,but the atmospheric patterns that influence the weather aren't necessarily expected to become stronger or more frequent by the end of the century,according to a new study from Portland State University. That means that in an overall warmer climate,models suggest we'll have the same variety of atmospheric patterns as we have now,but the weather we.experience from them will be warmer and,in some cases,wetter. Graham Taylor,a Ph.D student in PSU's Earth,Environment and Society.program,and Paul Loikith,associate professor of geography at.PSU,applied a novel machine-learning approach to assess to what degree the range of weather patters over the Pacific Northwest will change under a scenario (of future warming using a suite of state-of-the-art climate models. 1 The study's aim was to look at whether a warming climate would make certain types of weather patterns movements of air that on a large scale can influence whether it's hotter than average,colder than average,dry or wet-become more or less frequent or stronger or weaker. "We get a certain number of patters that bring us rain,patterns that bring us heat waves and patters that are average,Taylor said."The range and strength of those pattems isn't projected to necessarily change,but they will be within a much warmer climate." For example,the study does not show that heat domes,which became part of the public's vocabulary after the deadly weather event in June 2021,will become more common or stronger-it only shows that they will be hotter when they do occur. "Global warming is making everything warmer,?Loikith said."Hot summer patterns are getting hotter,but we're not seeing a shift towards more hot patterns according to these models. It's just more hot weather because everything's hotter." The study also found that the models show an increase in rainfall over the Pacific Northwest in most seasons except summer in a warmer future. 32.What was the machine-learning approach used for? .a.来905,21T得 A.Finding ways to prevent global warming. ,。:5山2 B.Creating a relatively cold weather scenario. vtoi Fa tebhin C.Exploring the factors leading to warm climate. 水12的，a的， D.Knowing about the change of weather patterns. 3。之：您9 33.Which can best replace the word "projected"underlined in paragraph 5?

C.How Will Weather Patterns Change in the Future? D.What Causes an Increase in Rainfall in Most Seasons? 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。 When we are faced with a crisis,or if we have an important decision to make,many of us fall into the trap of over-thinking.We may keep thinking about something constantly and too long.36 How can we stop ourselves from over-thinking? Doing something to distract yourself is a good idea.You can find working with your hands is especially good.37 Your brain simply doesn't have the resources to split itself into a third activity,for example over-thinking. 38 Studies have shown that when someone views something in excitement and anxiety,the brain is forced to become stuck in the present because all of your senses are completely engaged.You do not have time to focus on something different,which can cause over-thinking. Constant wishing,hoping and praying do not give you any relief.They just keep you stuck in one place.But taking the smallest step off the crisis really matters.It will set things in motion,making you like a snowball.39 The traps are things that cause your natural ability to react without you realizing that there is a connection between the two.Thus,avoiding relevant traps is also a good idea.40 For example,if one of your colleagues is so negative that she always drags you down,stop hanging out with her by having lunch alone at a nearby restaurant. A.This mindset tends to ruin our day. B.Put simply,out of sight,out of mind. C.Just as a saying goes,once bitten,twice shy. D.Try watching a suspenseful(悬疑的)movie. B.You are really getting your brain working for you. F.It engages your movement skills and thinking process. G.Thus,you will gradually move yourself out of the feeling. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 英语试卷第7页（共10页） 第-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四个选项中进出最佳选项。 In my last year of high school,I was under great pressure.My friends and I were41 to college,writing essays answering the question,"What makes you different?"Without doubt, we all knew the answer.In a culture where all 42 to be a cheerleader but only a few could, it was the moment when we put on the cheerleader uniform that made us 43.As I listed all my44 in the essay,I realized none meant more than being a cheerleader.At seventeen,I was 45 that the college admissions departments shared the same ideas.

When my son was little,it was very clear to me that there was something different about him.After countless trips to different specialists and the completion of extensive testing,a diagnosis of a particular chromosomal(染色体的)disorder was made..He was constantly in motion and had no sense of danger,requiring his caregivers watch his every move to prevent him from running away or heading into traffic.He also loved strangers,thinking that everyone was his potential best friend.He greeted everyone with a hug. However,no one was willing to accept my son's well-intended embrace,especially given that he looked much older than his actual age yet acted much younger.Although my son was still too young to recognize when he was being rejected,every hurtful word,unkind refusal,or look of pity broke my heart.I had started to be afraid of taking him out in public. One day,at the village,I walked around holding my son's hand,ready to protect him from being hurt.As we strolled along,we passed by a blacksmith shop.The rhythmic pounding of the hammer and the sparks that flew in all directions caught my son's attention.The process of turning seemingly worthless materials into valuable and visually stunning pieces through heating, hammering,and forging (seemed like magic to him.As the blacksmith paused his work and wiped the sweat from his brow,my son couldn't contain his curiosity anymore. He ran straight over to the blacksmith,wrapped his arms around the man's legs,and asked if he could have a try.My heart stopped at that moment. I expected that he,like almost everyone else that we had encountered,would push him away,muttering something about this not being possible. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 What he did next,though,brought me to tears.
