A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了三个促进个人成长的播客。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The podcast currently has over 700 episodes, each with different time lengths, from 6 minutes to 30 minutes.(该播客目前有700多集，每集的时长从6分钟到30分钟不等)”，第三段“More than 100 episodes are waiting for you, and the average length of an episode is about one hour.(100多集在等着你，平均每集时长约1小时)”以及第四段“Adrienne Herbert has made more than 250 episodes in which she talks about motivation, trends, career paths and anything about self-improvement.(阿德里安娜·赫伯特已经制作了250多集，她在其中谈论了动机、趋势、职业道路和任何关于自我提升的事情)”故可知，集数最多的是由Dan Harris创作的Ten Percent Happier。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“More than 100 episodes are waiting for you, and the average length of an episode is about one hour.(100多集在等着你，平均每集时长约1小时)”以及第四段“A new episode airs every week and usually lasts for an hour, so it’s a perfect podcast when you need a little bit of a boost to keep going.(每周播出一集，通常持续一个小时，所以当你需要一点动力来继续前进时，这是一个完美的播客)”可知，两个播客每集的平均时长大约都是1小时。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, the soothing voices of the hosts and the engaging subjects will make you become interested in personal growth and development, which is essential for you to have a better life.(然而，主持人舒缓的声音和引人入胜的主题会让你对个人成长和发展产生兴趣，这对你过上更好的生活至关重要)”可推知，作者介绍这些播客的目的是让读者重视自我成长。故选A。 B With light brown eyes and jet-black hair, my mom is my favorite hello and most difficult goodbye. For as long as I can remember, she has been my idol. While working as a judge, she is in pursuit of justice for others. As a mother, friend, and woman, however, she shows a softer side. Her actions show sensitivity, optimism, and kindness unlike any other I have ever known. As an only child, I never received the gift of a sibling (兄弟姐妹) with whom I could share laughs, secrets, or knowing glances from across a room. The older I’ve got, the more I have realized I never needed a sibling, anyway. Back home, my mom and I would wake and have a quick breakfast together, and leave for Jersey City — she is off to work and I went to school. Regardless of cold weather, heavy traffic, or my anxious stomach ache prior to a day of exams, we always had fun. She would tell jokes and we would laugh. With her infectious smile and confident attitude, my mom managed to turn every sad morning of mine into a better day. Now that I am at Rochester, we are separated by nearly 400 miles of sloping highway. I no longer have the chance of looking out a classroom window and seeing her office building standing tall a mile away. Moving away from home was a major shift — and not just because of my new suburban rented room, minimized food options, and much bitter winters. When I am missing my mom especially, I recall the words she told me when I would cry as a young girl: a line from her favorite poem, by author E. E. Cummings. “I carry your heart with me; I carry it in my heart,” she’d smile, wiping away my tears. As I reflect upon that sentence, I can see that there is a piece of my mom with me wherever I go. I guess those 400 miles between the two of us isn’t so distant, after all. 4. What kind of person is the author’s mother? A. She is a strict judge. B. She is a popular poet. C. She is a humorous comedian. D. She is a considerate role model. 5. Why did the author say she never needed a sibling? A. She didn’t like siblings. B. She didn’t want to share a room. C. She was old enough to live alone. D. She was content with her mother’s company. 6. What can we infer about the author’s life at Rochester? A. It is boring. B. It is tough. C. It is unbearable. D. It is unexpected. 7. What is the main idea for the text? A. Fun life of my mother. B. Poems for my mother and me. C. Memory of my separated mother and me. D. Praise for my relationship with my mother. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者与母亲朋友般的关系让她极其依赖母亲，长大后虽然离开母亲的怀抱，但母亲说过的话让她觉得母亲一直陪伴着她。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“For as long as I can remember, she has been my idol.(从我记事起，她就一直是我的偶像。)”和“Her actions show sensitivity, optimism, and kindness unlike any other I have ever known(她的行为表现出敏感、乐观和善良，这是我所知道的最不同的。)”等都能体现出母亲不仅仅是母亲，是一位善解人意、体贴的人，是“我”的榜样。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Back home, my mom and I would wake and have a quick breakfast together, and leave for Jersey City—she is off to work and I went to school. (回到家，我和妈妈会醒来一起吃早餐，然后去泽西城——她去上班，我去上学。)”和“With her infectious smile and confident attitude, my mom managed to turn every sad morning of mine into a better day.(凭借她富有感染力的微笑和自信的态度，我妈妈设法把我每个悲伤的早晨变成了美好的一天。)”可知，妈妈每天都陪伴我，并用自己积极的态度感染我，让“我”开心，所以“我”没有兄弟姐妹也不觉得遗憾。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Moving away from home was a major shift- and not just because of my new suburban digs, minimized food options, and much harsher winters.(离开家是一个重大的转变——不仅仅是因为我在郊区的新住所，尽量减少了食物的选择，以及更艰难的冬天。)”可知，“我”在 Rochester的生活艰难。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容以最后一句“As I reflect upon that sentence, I can see that there is a piece of my mom with me wherever I go. I guess those 400 miles between the two of us isn’t so distant, after all.(当我回想这句话时，我可以看到，无论我走到哪里，都有一个我妈妈的影子和我在一起。我想我们俩之间的400英里毕竟并没有那么远。)”可知本文主要讲的是作者和她妈妈之间的和谐关系，她非常喜欢这种关系并受到这种关系的积极影响。D项“赞美我和妈妈的关系”适合作本文主旨。故选D。 C Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to develop more efficient methods of farming in order to fight global warming. Global warming threatens every aspect of our everyday lives, including crop production. It will reduce the soil moisture (水分), especially in areas close to the equator and greatly affect the crop production. Climate change harms poorer countries that do not have money to import food. The result is food shortage. However, agriculture is not just affected by global warming. Agriculture is part of a vicious cycle in which farming leads to global warming, which in turn destroys agricultural production. The process of clearing land for agriculture results in widespread deforestation and contributes to 40 percent of global methane (甲烷) production. Therefore, to deal with climate change, it is necessary to ensure efficient, environmentally-conscious farming. This is where AI enters the scene. Farmers use AI for methods such as precision agriculture, monitoring crop moisture, soil composition, and temperature in growing areas, and enabling farmers to increase production by learning how to take care of their crops and determine the ideal amount of water to use. Furthermore, this technology may help reduce deforestation by allowing humans to grow food in urban areas. It could be especially beneficial for countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, where much of the population lives in cities. However, AI is far from a silver bullet — it could actually contribute to global warming as well. Due to the large amount of data that AI needs to process, training a single AI releases five times the emissions that an average car would give off during its lifetime. Further, securing access to AI on a global scale may pose some challenges. Countries will need experts in the field who can successfully use the technology and Internet connection, neither of which are always readily available. Therefore, there is still a long way for developing countries to take advantage of the benefits of AI. Given these concerns, global leaders must consider the potential costs, and the environmental consequences of data processing before developing AI for use in agriculture. 8. What is the purpose of Paragraph 2? A. To advocate greener farming. B. To show the importance of forestation. C. To promote low-carbon living. D. To analyze impacts of global warming. 9. In which aspect can farmers apply Al in crop production? A. Reducing soil pollution. B. Precision farming. C. Solving the food problem. D. Expanding farmland. 10. What do the underlined words “silver bullet” mean in paragraph 4? A. A big fortune. B. A risky attempt. C. A costly method. D. A perfect solution. 11. What’s the author’s attitude to the use of Al in farming? A. Critical. B. Optimistic. C. Cautious. D. Confident. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是人工智能（AI）在农业领域的潜在应用、优势以及面临的挑战，特别是在对抗全球变暖方面的作用。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Therefore, to deal with climate change, it is necessary to ensure efficient, environmentally-conscious farming.(因此，为了应对气候变化，有必要确保高效、环保的农业。)”可知，第二段的目的是提倡环保农业。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Farmers use AI for methods such as precision agriculture, monitoring crop moisture, soil composition, and temperature in growing areas, and enabling farmers to increase production by learning how to take care of their crops and determine the ideal amount of water to use.(农民将人工智能用于精准农业等方法，监测种植区的作物湿度、土壤成分和温度，并使农民能够通过学习如何照顾作物和确定理想的用水量来提高产量。)”可知，农民可以在精准农业方面应用AI。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段中划线部分下文“it could actually contribute to global warming as well(它实际上也可能导致全球变暖)”可知，AI可能也会导致全球变暖，因此它也不是完美的；“ However, AI is far from a silver bullet(然而，人工智能远不是silver bullet)”中的silver bullet的意思是“完美的解决办法”，和a perfect solution意思相近。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“However, AI is far from a silver bullet—it could actually contribute to global warming as well.(然而，人工智能远不是灵丹妙药——它实际上也可能导致全球变暖。)”，“Further, securing access to AI on a global scale may pose some challenges.(此外，确保在全球范围内获得人工智能可能会带来一些挑战。)”和最后一段“Given these concerns, global leaders must consider the potential costs, and the environmental consequences of data processing before developing AI for use in agriculture.(鉴于这些担忧，全球领导人在开发用于农业的人工智能之前，必须考虑数据处理的潜在成本和环境后果。)”可知，作者对人工智能在农业中的应用持谨慎的态度。故选C。 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。 What will you do if you can’t eat everything bought in the canteen? ____12____According to a survey, what students waste every year could feed over 10 million people. ____13____ According to Xinhua News Agency, the food wasted by Chinese people is about 50 million tons of grain every year, which could feed 200 million people. Food waste, which has become a global issue, serves as a mirror that reflects various cultural and social issues in different countries. In the west, for instance, consumerism, the belief that it’s good to use a lot of goods and services, is often to blame for food waste. ____14____ Chinese people are well known for being hospitable and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food. On campus, a generation of single children is less aware of the food waste issue. Students nowadays are well protected by their families-and hardly have any concept of how much toil (辛劳) others go through in order to provide them with the food they eat. ____15____ There are 925 million hungry people in the world.

B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是浪费食物的现象，学生往往会把吃剩下的饭菜倒掉，学校食堂的浪费现象只是冰山一角，我国每年浪费的粮食有大约两千万吨。 【12题详解】 根据上文“What will you do if you can't eat everything bought in the canteen?( 如果你不能把食堂买的东西都吃完，你会怎么办？)”抛出问题，提到不能把食堂买的东西都吃完，你会怎么办？以及下文“According to a survey, what students waste every year could feed over 10 million people.( 根据一项调查，学生每年浪费的食物可以养活1000多万人。)”提到学生浪费食物。结合选项C项Most of us would simply throw away any leftover food.（我们大多数人会直接扔掉剩下的食物。）可知，起到上下文的承上启下作用，回答上文的问题，同时和下文内容形成呼应。故选C项。 13题详解】 根据下文“According to Xinhua News Agency, the food wasted by Chinese people is about 50 million tons of grain every year, which could feed 200 million people.( 据新华社报道，中国人每年浪费的粮食约为5000万吨，可以养活2亿人。)”提到中国人每年浪费的粮食约为5000万吨，可以养活2亿人。结合选项E项But canteen waste is merely the tip of the iceberg.（但是食堂浪费仅仅是冰山一角。）可知，和下文内容紧密连接，下文为对上文内容的语意递进，符合语境。故选E项。 【14题详解】 根据上文“Food waste, which has become a global issue, serves as a mirror that reflects various cultural and social issues in different countries.( 食物浪费已经成为一个全球性问题，它是一面镜子，反映了不同国家的各种文化和社会问题。)”提到食物浪费反映了不同国家的各种文化和社会问题，紧接着后面举例提到了西方国家的情况。以及下文“Chinese people are well known for being hospitable and generous.( 中国人以热情好客和慷慨大方著称。)”提到中国的饮食文化。结合选项F项China, in turn, features its own eating culture.（中国也有自己的饮食文化。）可知，起到上下文的承上启下作用，上下文语意连贯，符合语境。故选F项。 【15题详解】 根据下文“There are 925 million hungry people in the world. They don't have enough food to eat. And farmers work very hard to grow the crops.( 世界上有9.25亿饥饿人口。他们没有足够的食物吃。农民们非常努力地种植庄稼。)”讲的是世界上有9.25亿饥饿人口。他们没有足够的食物吃。结合选项G项To reduce food waste is a big task, and it needs time.（减少食物浪费是一项艰巨的任务，它需要时间。）可知，下文是对空格处内容的语意递进，进一步解释了任务的艰巨性，上下文紧密连接，符合语境。故选G项。 【16题详解】 根据上文“They don't have enough food to eat. And farmers work very hard to grow the crops.( 他们没有足够的食物吃。农民们非常努力地种植庄稼。)”以及下文“It's also important that everyone thinks about how they can do their bit to reduce food waste.( 同样重要的是，每个人都要考虑如何尽自己的一份力量来减少食物浪费。)”结合选项B项So we shouldn't waste our food.（所以我们不应该浪费我们的食物。）可知，和上文形成因果关系，承接上文内容，同时，和下文内容形成呼应，都是讲的减少食物浪费。上下文语意连贯。符合语境。故选B项。 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分40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。 Raised in a family of artists, the 24-year-old Russían woman Aleksandra developed a deep love for painting from an early age.

Invented 37. facial 38. character’s 39. and 40. closely 41. from 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国变脸艺术的历史、技巧及文化意义，让读者深入了解这一令人着迷的戏曲表演。 【32题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：在这种表演中，表演者能够在眨眼之间更换他们戴着的脸谱。空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰前面的“Chinese face mask changing”，且先行词在从句中作地点状语，所以用关系副词where引导。故填where。 【33题详解】 考查冠词。句意：表演者能够在眨眼之间更换大约10张面具，且全程不使用手。within the blink of an eye表示“眨眼之间”，是固定表达。故填an。 【34题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：他们也能在靠近观众地方表演，使得观众之后感到着迷和好奇。空处需用现在分词作结果状语，“他们能够在靠近观众的地方表演的结果是观众之后感到着迷和好奇”，这表示自然而然的结果。故填leaving。 【35题详解】 考查时态。句意：我发现它如此吸引人，以至于我深入挖掘了它的历史。空处为that从句的谓语动词。根据主句中的found可知，此处描述的是过去的动作，应用一般过去时。故填dug。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：变脸艺术发明于300多年前的清朝，深深植根于中国文化之中。句中已有谓语动词，所以空处需要非谓语动词作状语，且invent与其逻辑主语“the art of face mask changing”构成逻辑上的被动关系，所以用过去分词作状语。故填Invented。 【37题详解】 考查形容词。句意：脸谱和颜色的变化反映了角色的情绪——红色代表愤怒，黑色代表极度愤怒。空处修饰名词“make-ups and colors”，应用形容词。face的形容词形式为facial“面部的”。故填facial。 【38题详解】 考查名词所有格。句意：脸谱和颜色的变化反映了角色的情绪——红色代表愤怒，黑色代表极度愤怒。空处修饰名词mood，表示“角色的情绪”，应用名词所有格。故填character’s。 【39题详解】 考查连词。句意：变脸的基本技巧有三种，包括擦脸、吹脸和拉脸。此处列举了三项基本技巧，分别为“wiping the face，blowing the face和pulling the face”，它们之间是并列关系，应用and连接。故填and。 【40题详解】 考查副词。句意：据说，用来换脸谱的具体技巧是一个严格保密的秘密。空处修饰动词guarded，应用副词形式。故填closely。 【41题详解】 考查介词。句意：这个秘密在戏剧家族中代代相传。from generation to generation是固定搭配，意为“世代相传”。故填from。 第三节 （共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 根据首字母或所给提示词写出单词的正确形式，每空一词（每空1分，共10分） 42.

I was the fastest runner on my team, and I was supposed to make it into the top fifteen. We had been working towards this race for three years. It was everything to me, and it was everything to my dad. He was a runner and was wild with joy by my success in running. He made it to every race, even flying home early from business trips to see me run. I always listened for his voice, which rang above the crowd-telling me to relax my arms, calling out my time. He pushed me. He cheered for me. He believed in me. We spent countless hours on the sandy canals of Arizona. Breathing in the dust of the desert, the blossoms of the orange trees, and the terrible smell of the dairy farm, we made our way across the city. We pounded miles and miles into our running shoes, marking with every step the path to greatness. It was a journey that was just ours. A dream passed on from one generation to the next. Then the big day came. It was hotter than normal - too hot. My throat felt like a field of cotton, cracked with the summer heat, as I waited for the gun to fire. I gazed out at the crowd; dozens of familiar faces from church and school flickered across my view. They had come for me. They were counting on me. I saw my dad set his watch, worry and excitement etched across his face. With the sound of a gunshot, the race began. For the first two and half miles, I felt great. I had never before been so ready for something. The weeks leading up to the race were filled with hard practices and a strict diet. The scorching sun beat upon my back, blinding me with its brilliance. Nothing was going to stop me, though. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 However, without warning, my strength was running out. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I whispered, “I’m so sorry I disappointed you, Dad.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 However, without warning, my strength was running out. My lungs fought to take in enough air, and my feet transformed into cement bricks. Neck and neck with one of my greatest rivals, I could see the finish line. I had begun the final sprint into glory when my knees buckled and my legs gave way. Nothing I could do would make them hold my weight. They were as weak as jelly. Even though I knew my dreams of victory had been destroyed, I had to finish the race. With all of the strength left in me, I got on my hands and knees and crawled, inch by inch, across the finish line. Shame pulsed through my veins as Dad squatted down and pulled me into his arms. I whispered, “I’m so sorry I disappointed you, Dad.” He gave me a gentle smile and said, “You could never disappoint me. Sometimes these things just happen. All that matters is that you did your best.” Lifting my face, I saw my dad’s eyes, in which I saw the sweat, the time, and the work we had put into our dream. The miles we had run together, all for this race, flashed across my mind. “But we worked so hard. What about our dream” I asked. In that second, the world stood still. He reached over for my hand, holding back his own tears, and said, “Don’t you know that you are my dream come true ” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和父亲很期待自己能在高中最后一年的越野赛跑上获得好成绩，不料在比赛过程中，作者突然体力耗尽，虽然作者最后尽力越过终点，但是却没获得好成绩，作者觉得让父亲和大家失望了，父亲却说只要尽力了，就不会失望。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，毫无征兆地，我的体力耗尽了。”可知，第一段可描写作者在体力耗尽的情况下，如何尽力跑过终点。 ②由第二段首句内容“我低声说：‘很抱歉让你失望了，爸爸。’”可知，第二段可描写作者父亲安慰作者并没有让他失望。 2. 续写线索：为比赛做准备——比赛开始——突然体力耗尽——努力跑过终点——觉得让父亲失望——父亲安慰 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①努力争取：fight/struggle ②看见：see/catch sight of ③摧毁：destroy/crush/ruin 情绪类 ①羞愧：shame/embarrassment/humiliation ②失望：disappoint/let down 【点睛】[高分句型1]I had begun the final sprint into glory when my knees buckled and my legs gave way.(when引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型2]Lifting my face, I saw my dad’s eyes, in which I saw the sweat, the time, and the work we had put into our dream.(in which引导的非限制性定语从句和省略关系代词引导的限制性定语从句) 1—5 AABAC 6—10 BABCB 11—15 BCABA 16—20 ACBCB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 英语科试题 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 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?

For as long as I can remember, she has been my idol. While working as a judge, she is in pursuit of justice for others. As a mother, friend, and woman, however, she shows a softer side. Her actions show sensitivity, optimism, and kindness unlike any other I have ever known. As an only child, I never received the gift of a sibling (兄弟姐妹) with whom I could share laughs, secrets, or knowing glances from across a room. The older I’ve got, the more I have realized I never needed a sibling, anyway. Back home, my mom and I would wake and have a quick breakfast together, and leave for Jersey City — she is off to work and I went to school. Regardless of cold weather, heavy traffic, or my anxious stomach ache prior to a day of exams, we always had fun. She would tell jokes and we would laugh. With her infectious smile and confident attitude, my mom managed to turn every sad morning of mine into a better day. Now that I am at Rochester, we are separated by nearly 400 miles of sloping highway. I no longer have the chance of looking out a classroom window and seeing her office building standing tall a mile away. Moving away from home was a major shift — and not just because of my new suburban rented room, minimized food options, and much bitter winters. When I am missing my mom especially, I recall the words she told me when I would cry as a young girl: a line from her favorite poem, by author E. E. Cummings. “I carry your heart with me; I carry it in my heart,” she’d smile, wiping away my tears. As I reflect upon that sentence, I can see that there is a piece of my mom with me wherever I go. I guess those 400 miles between the two of us isn’t so distant, after all. 4. What kind of person is the author’s mother? A. She is a strict judge. B. She is a popular poet. C. She is a humorous comedian. D. She is a considerate role model. 5. Why did the author say she never needed a sibling? A. She didn’t like siblings. B. She didn’t want to share a room. C. She was old enough to live alone. D. She was content with her mother’s company. 6. What can we infer about the author’s life at Rochester? A. It is boring. B. It is tough. C. It is unbearable. D. It is unexpected. 7. What is the main idea for the text? A. Fun life of my mother. B. Poems for my mother and me. C. Memory of my separated mother and me. D. Praise for my relationship with my mother. C Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to develop more efficient methods of farming in order to fight global warming. Global warming threatens every aspect of our everyday lives, including crop production. It will reduce the soil moisture (水分), especially in areas close to the equator and greatly affect the crop production. Climate change harms poorer countries that do not have money to import food. The result is food shortage. However, agriculture is not just affected by global warming. Agriculture is part of a vicious cycle in which farming leads to global warming, which in turn destroys agricultural production. The process of clearing land for agriculture results in widespread deforestation and contributes to 40 percent of global methane (甲烷) production. Therefore, to deal with climate change, it is necessary to ensure efficient, environmentally-conscious farming. This is where AI enters the scene. Farmers use AI for methods such as precision agriculture, monitoring crop moisture, soil composition, and temperature in growing areas, and enabling farmers to increase production by learning how to take care of their crops and determine the ideal amount of water to use. Furthermore, this technology may help reduce deforestation by allowing humans to grow food in urban areas. It could be especially beneficial for countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, where much of the population lives in cities. However, AI is far from a silver bullet — it could actually contribute to global warming as well. Due to the large amount of data that AI needs to process, training a single AI releases five times the emissions that an average car would give off during its lifetime. Further, securing access to AI on a global scale may pose some challenges. Countries will need experts in the field who can successfully use the technology and Internet connection, neither of which are always readily available. Therefore, there is still a long way for developing countries to take advantage of the benefits of AI. Given these concerns, global leaders must consider the potential costs, and the environmental consequences of data processing before developing AI for use in agriculture. 8. What is the purpose of Paragraph 2? A. To advocate greener farming. B. To show the importance of forestation. C. To promote low-carbon living. D. To analyze impacts of global warming. 9. In which aspect can farmers apply Al in crop production? A. Reducing soil pollution. B. Precision farming. C. Solving the food problem. D. Expanding farmland. 10. What do the underlined words “silver bullet” mean in paragraph 4? A. A big fortune. B. A risky attempt. C. A costly method. D. A perfect solution. 11. What’s the author’s attitude to the use of Al in farming? A. Critical. B. Optimistic. C. Cautious. D. Confident. 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。 What will you do if you can’t eat everything bought in the canteen? ____12____According to a survey, what students waste every year could feed over 10 million people. ____13____ According to Xinhua News Agency, the food wasted by Chinese people is about 50 million tons of grain every year, which could feed 200 million people. Food waste, which has become a global issue, serves as a mirror that reflects various cultural and social issues in different countries. In the west, for instance, consumerism, the belief that it’s good to use a lot of goods and services, is often to blame for food waste. ____14____ Chinese people are well known for being hospitable and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food. On campus, a generation of single children is less aware of the food waste issue. Students nowadays are well protected by their families-and hardly have any concept of how much toil (辛劳) others go through in order to provide them with the food they eat. ____15____ There are 925 million hungry people in the world. They don’t have enough food to eat. And farmers work very hard to grow the crops. ____16____ It’s also important that everyone thinks about how they can do their bit to reduce food waste. Recently a campaign against food waste launched on line in China might make you think twice about being so wasteful. A. Students waste is extremely serious. B. So we shouldn’t waste our food. C. Most of us would simply throw away any leftover food. D. Students can never realize the serious food waste situation. E. But canteen waste is merely the tip of the iceberg. F. China, in turn, features its own eating culture. G. To reduce food waste is a big task, and it needs time. 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分40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。 Raised in a family of artists, the 24-year-old Russían woman Aleksandra developed a deep love for painting from an early age.

I was the fastest runner on my team and I was supposed to make it into the top fifteen. We had been working towards this race for three years. It was everything to me, and it was everything to my dad. He was a runner and was wild with joy by my success in running. He made it to every race, even flying home early from business trips to see me run. I always listened for his voice, which rang above the crowd-telling me to relax my arms, calling out my time. He pushed me. He cheered for me. He believed in me. We spent countless hours on the sandy canals of Arizona. Breathing in the dust of the desert, the blossoms of the orange trees, and the terrible smell of the dairy farm, we made our way across the city. We pounded miles and miles into our running shoes, marking with every step the path to greatness. It was a journey that was just ours. A dream passed on from one generation to the next. Then the big day came. It was hotter than normal - too hot. My throat felt like a field of cotton, cracked with the summer heat, as I waited for the gun to fire. I gazed out at the crowd; dozens of familiar faces from church and school flickered across my view. They had come for me. They were counting on me. I saw my dad set his watch, worry and excitement etched across his face. With the sound of a gunshot, the race began. For the first two and half miles, I felt great. I had never before been so ready for something. The weeks leading up to the race were filled with hard practices and a strict diet. The scorching sun beat upon my back, blinding me with its brilliance. Nothing was going to stop me, though. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 However, without warning, my strength was running out. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I whispered “I’m so sorry I disappointed you, Dad.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1—5 AABAC 6—10 BABCB 11—15 BCABA 16—20 ACBCB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
