Working in the late 19th and early 20th century, Bailey studied birds in nature, focusing on their behaviors rather than on their colors and feather patterns. Bailey was a writer. At the age of 26, she penned her first book, Birds Through an Opera-Glass, considered one of the first modern field guides for bird-watching since it included both notes on behaviors and illustrations. Rachel Carson Rachel Carson started her career as a marine biologist for the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries. Because of her talent as a writer, she was drafted to create brochures and radio programs in addition to her regular research duties. She eventually rose to oversee a team of writers for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. She also contributed articles to newspapers and magazines. In the 1950s, after the success of her book The Sea Around Us, Carson focused full-time on nature writing. Herma Albertson Baggley Herma Albertson Baggley grew up in Iowa but studied botany (植物学) in Idaho and spent her professional career in Wyoming’s Yellowstone National Park. When she joined the National Park Service(NPS)in the early 1930s, she was the first full-time female naturalist. Putting her botany knowledge to work, Baggley co-wrote a guide called Plants of Yellowstone National Park. Though it was published in 1936, it was so comprehensive (详尽的) that it is still referenced today. Margaret Murie Margaret Murie, known to almost everyone as “Mardy”(the name she often used in her byline), grew up in Fairbanks, Alaska. She is best known for being the driving force behind the effort to create and expand the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. During her life, she worked as a consultant (顾问) for the NPS, the Sierra Club, and a number of similar environmental protection organizations. 1. What do Bailey and Carson have in common? A. Growing up in Iowa. B. Writing their own books. C. Designing a tour brochure. D. Working for the Sierra Club. 2. Who was the first full-time female naturalist in the NPS? A. Florence Augusta Merriam Bailey. B. Rachel Carson. C. Herma Albertson Baggley. D. Margaret Murie. 3. What made Murie famous? A. Her government position. B. Her childhood experiences. C. Her articles on social media. D. Her efforts to develop the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3.

She was playing in the backyard one day when she heard a strange sound. The sky turned purple, with a little green. Looking into the woods behind her, she saw a long tornado. The tornado headed for the house across from hers! Then, Myrna found a little boy tumbling (摔倒) inside a house. It was terrifying. Myrna felt she couldn’t move. She seemed stuck to the ground. She kept watching and saw the boy get sucked out of the house! She screamed for help, but no one responded. Myrna went inside and told her dad what she had seen. Her dad had been watching the tornado from inside the house. When Myrna came in, he realized that she had been outside, and he started to scold (责骂) her. However, Myrna told her father that she had seen the tornado pick up a house and cause a boy to fly out. Her father expressed sadness for the boy and his parents, and hoped the boy was safe and sound. After the tornado ended, Myrna’s father decided to go over to the remains of the house. He saw that the owners had returned home and were searching through the mess. He asked what was wrong, and the owners worriedly replied that they couldn’t find their little boy. Myrna said to the owners what she had seen. They asked in which direction the boy had gone, and Myrna pointed. The owners rushed off, and Myrna and her father joined in the search. They found the boy 2 days later, and he was alive! He had been blown 1.5 miles way from his house, but had landed in a tree and had survived. The owners were very grateful for Myrna and her father’s help. This result caused Myrna to nearly cry. She was excited and proud that she had been able to influence someone’s life at such a young age. 4. Where did the strange sound come from that Myrna heard? A. From an animal. B. From a little boy.

She was excited and proud that she had been able to influence someone’s life at such a young age.(这个结果让Myrna差点哭出来。她既兴奋又自豪，因为她这么年轻就能影响别人的生活。)”可知，那个女孩差点哭出来是因为她很兴奋，也为自己感到骄傲。故选B。 C 2023 was a “breakout year” for artificial intelligence (AI). Following the release of AI at the end of 2022, machine learning has increasingly been in the public eye. AI made its way into courtrooms, music and art this year, raising a lot of concerns from the public. In the field of science, the cutting-edge technology is paving the way toward new discoveries and more advanced processing of data. Several groups of researchers experimented with having AI algorithms generate words, images and even music based on people’s brain scans—a technique that, in the end, could help stroke patients and paralyzed people to communicate with other people by thinking. Machine learning has helped in conservation, such as by tracking migrating birds — the AI-powered tool BirdCast can warn people of an incoming wave of migrants, which may help prevent disease, inform Lights Out programs to reduce window strikes, and remind bird watchers of large groups of birds in their area. Scientists are also developing AI tools that can identify species based only on a photograph, distinguish between similar-looking mushrooms or recognize a bird species from its song. Inspired by the way, a famous AI company follows patterns in language to generate words, and researchers have experimented with translating whale sounds using AI. At the same time, experts warned this year the public of the need to regulate the rapidly advancing technology. For example, Geoffrey Hinton, a machine learning pioneer, quit his job in May so that he could speak more freely about his worries about AI’s future. Experts have raised concerns that AI could spread misinformation, manipulate humans and influence the job market badly if it is completely out of control. But innovation continues after all, and it seems likely that researchers will increasingly use AI to attempt breakthroughs in many fields. 8. What does the underlined word “cutting-edge” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Abnormal. B. Advanced. C. Outdated. D. Curious. 9. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The development of AI in history. B. The negative or harmful side of AI. C. The advantages and disadvantages of AI. D. The application of AI in various fields. 10. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. AI development has stopped. B. Experts only see positive outcomes from AI. C. Despite concerns, AI research will continue. D. Geoffrey Hinton supports uncontrolled AI. 11. Why do experts find it necessary to regulate the AI? A. It may do harm to health. B. It may lead to pollution. C. It may result in unemployment. D. It may make people become dishonest. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了关于人工智能（AI）在2023年的发展情况，包括AI在各个领域的应用、引发的公众担忧、以及专家对AI未来发展的看法和警告。 【8题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在句“In the field of science, the cutting-edge technology is paving the way toward new discoveries and more advanced processing of data.(在科学领域，这种……技术正在为新发现和更先进的数据处理铺平道路。)”中的“paving the way toward new discoveries and more advanced processing of data”可推测，“cutting-edge technology”被描述为能够引领新发现和数据处理技术前进的。选项B“advanced(先进的)”与此相符。故选B。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Several groups of researchers experimented with having AI algorithms generate words, images and even music based on people’s brain scans—a technique that, in the end, could help stroke patients and paralyzed people to communicate with other people by thinking.(几组研究人员尝试利用AI算法根据人们的大脑扫描结果生成文字、图像甚至音乐——这项技术最终可能帮助中风患者和瘫痪者通过思维与他人交流。)”以及“Scientists are also developing AI tools that can identify species based only on a photograph, distinguish between similar-looking mushrooms or recognize a bird species from its song. Inspired by the way, a famous AI company follows patterns in language to generate words, and researchers have experimented with translating whale sounds using AI.(科学家们还在开发仅通过照片就能识别物种的AI工具，这些工具可以区分长相相似的蘑菇，或仅通过鸟鸣就能识别鸟类。受一家著名AI公司根据语言模式生成文字的方法的启发，研究人员也尝试使用AI翻译鲸鱼的声音。)”可知，第二段描述了研究人员如何利用AI算法根据人们的大脑扫描结果生成文字、图像和音乐、还提到了科学家正在开发的能够仅通过照片识别物种的AI工具，以及AI在翻译鲸鱼声音方面的应用。由此可知，第二段主要讨论的是AI在各个领域的应用。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Experts have raised concerns that AI could spread misinformation, manipulate humans and influence the job market badly if it is completely out of control. But innovation continues after all, and it seems likely that researchers will increasingly use AI to attempt breakthroughs in many fields.(专家们担心，如果AI完全失控，可能会传播虚假信息、操纵人类并严重影响就业市场。但创新毕竟仍在继续，似乎研究人员将越来越多地使用AI来尝试在许多领域取得突破。)”可知，虽然专家对于AI的发展有所担忧，但是研究人员会越来越多地使用AI来尝试在许多领域取得突破。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“At the same time, experts warned this year the public of the need to regulate the rapidly advancing technology. For example, Geoffrey Hinton, a machine learning pioneer, quit his job in May so that he could speak more freely about his worries about AI’s future. Experts have raised concerns that AI could spread misinformation, manipulate humans and influence the job market badly if it is completely out of control.(与此同时，今年专家们也警告公众，需要监管这一快速发展的技术。例如，机器学习先驱杰弗里·辛顿于5月辞职，以便能够更自由地表达他对AI未来的担忧。专家们担心，如果AI完全失控，可能会传播虚假信息、操纵人类并严重影响就业市场。)”可知，专家们认为有必要监管AI是因为如果AI完全失控，可能会传播虚假信息、操纵人类并严重影响就业市场。故选C。 D Tigers can weigh over 600 pounds, leap up to 20 feet and take down prey (猎物) nearly five times their weight. But for all their strength, their position on the food chain in their habitats can be fragile. To survive, a single tiger must consume about 100 pounds of flesh each week. That equals about 50 large animals each year. This means tigers require large parts of land, and the land must be filled with prey. In the past century, however, people have been closing in, clearing vast areas of habitat for agriculture. Hunting has also driven down numbers of prey animals. An estimated global tiger population of 100,000 in 1900, spread across Asia and parts of the Middle East, today measures about 4,500. The number was 3,200 in2010. Tigers now occupy less than 7% of their historical range. In India, where 70% of the world’s wild tigers live, human population growth and development are pressing people and tigers closer together. Millions of people now live in “buffer zones” around tiger reserves, and each year tigers kill hundreds of farm animals. Krithi, head of the Centre for Wildlife Studies, spends significant time and resources trying to reduce human-wildlife conflict. One of the centre’s programs works with around 2,000 rural communities to provide government payments for people who have lost farm animals to tigers’ attacks. “These payments don’t fully make up for what people have lost, but can help them face it,” Krithi says. “If these payments don’t reach people, the chance of building hatred toward tigers will go up.” Another program teaches children about the role tigers and other animals play in their ecosystems. Krithi says, “Or the kids will view wildlife with hostility and fear.” It also provides them with simple tips, such as carrying flashlights and talking loudly while traveling in groups, to keep them safe near wildlife. 12. What condition must tigers need for survival? A. High mountains. B. Vast grasslands. C. Large population. D. Enough land and prey. 13. Which has the largest population of the world’s wild tigers? A. Asia. B. Africa. C. Europe. D. America. 14. What is the purpose of the government payments? A. To pay for the losses of crops. B. To encourage people to raise tigers. C To make up for the losses of people. D. To inspire people to keep more farm animals. 15. How many pieces of simple suggestions are given in the last paragraph? A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了老虎在自然栖息地中的生存状况、面临的威胁（如栖息地丧失和猎物数量减少）以及人类为缓解人类与野生动物冲突所采取的措施。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“To survive, a single tiger must consume about 100 pounds of flesh each week. That equals about 50 large animals each year. This means tigers require large parts of land, and the land must be filled with prey.(为了生存，一只老虎每周必须消耗大约100磅的肉，这相当于每年大约50只大型动物。这意味着老虎需要大量的土地，并且这片土地上必须布满猎物。)”可知，老虎为了生存需要大量的土地和食物。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“An estimated global tiger population of 100,000 in 1900, spread across Asia and parts of the Middle East, today measures about 4,500. The number was 3,200 in2010. Tigers now occupy less than 7% of their historical range. In India, where 70% of the world’s wild tigers live, human population growth and development are pressing people and tigers closer together.(据估计，1900年全球老虎数量约为10万只，分布在亚洲和中东部分地区，而今天，这一数字已降至约4500只。2010年，老虎数量更是降至3200只。如今，老虎仅占其历史栖息地的不到7%。在印度，那里生活着世界上70%的野生老虎，人口增长和开发使得人类与老虎之间的距离越来越近。)”可知，亚洲拥有世界上最大的野生老虎数量。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“One of the centre’s programs works with around 2,000 rural communities to provide government payments for people who have lost farm animals to tigers’ attacks. “These payments don’t fully make up for what people have lost, but can help them face it,” Krithi says. “If these payments don’t reach people, the chance of building hatred toward tigers will go up.”(该中心的一个项目与大约2000个农村社区合作，为因老虎袭击而失去家畜的人提供政府赔偿。“这些赔偿并不能完全弥补人们的损失，但可以帮助他们面对困境，” Krithi说，“如果这些赔偿没有到位，人们对老虎产生仇恨的可能性就会增加。”)”可知，政府付款的目的是为了弥补人们因老虎袭击而失去家畜的损失。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“It also provides them with simple tips, such as carrying flashlights and talking loudly while traveling in groups, to keep them safe near wildlife.(该项目还为孩子们提供了一些简单的建议，比如在集体出行时携带手电筒并大声说话，以确保在野生动物附近时的安全。)”可知，最后一段给出了两条简单的建议，分别是携带手电筒和在集体出行时大声说话。故选A。 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。 For the most part, anxiety is a condition that comes and goes.

G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些控制焦虑症状的具体方法。 【16题详解】 前文“For the most part, anxiety is a condition that comes and goes. But for some, anxiety never goes away completely. (在大多数情况下，焦虑是一种来来去去的状态。但对一些人来说，焦虑永远不会完全消失)”提到某些人会一直觉得焦虑，后文“The good one is that you can manage the symptoms (症状), so they don’t manage you. (好消息是你可以控制症状，所以症状不会控制你)”提到焦虑症状可以控制，这里需要一个转折，引出“坏消息”，因此A项“That’s the bad news (这是坏消息)”符合语境，其中的That指代前一句的内容。故选A。 【17题详解】 前文“A simple grounding exercise is to simply find an object and put all your attention towards studying it for a few minutes. Once you pick an object, start thinking about its look: color, shape, and texture. Who made it? How does it feel when you touch it? (一个简单的练习就是找一个物体，把你所有的注意力放在学习上几分钟。一旦你选择了一个物体，开始考虑它的外观：颜色、形状和纹理。谁做的？你摸它的时候感觉如何)”具体介绍如何通过聚焦一个物体来缓解焦虑，这里需要解释这个练习的效果，因此F项“This exercise helps ground you in reality and pushes aside any stresses (这个练习帮助你在现实中扎根，并排除任何压力)”符合语境，承接前文。故选F。 【18题详解】 空处是段落标题，需统领段落内容，且需和其他段落标题一样使用祈使句的形式，后文“If you’re prone (易于遭受) to anxiety, keep a diary where you can write what you’re afraid of, your beliefs and thoughts about the fear. (如果你容易焦虑，写日记，写下你害怕什么，你的信念和对恐惧的想法)”表明本段与写日记，记录感受相关，这里需要一个概括性的建议，因此B项“Put your feelings down (把你的感受写下来)”符合语境，契合后文内容。故选B。 【19题详解】 本段标题是“Challenge and replace unrealistic thoughts (挑战和取代不现实的想法)”，后文“Identify your anxiety-producing unrealistic thoughts and replace them with thoughts that are either happy and peaceful, or more realistic. (找出产生焦虑的不切实际的想法，用快乐、平和或更现实的想法取代它们)”给出如何取代不现实的想法的方法，这里应该是整个方法的第一步，因此E项“Remind yourself that your thoughts are not facts (提醒自己，你的想法不是事实)”符合语境，呼应标题，引出后文，其中的not facts和前后文的unrealistic呼应。故选E。 【20题详解】 前文“If you’re in the struggles of anxiety and can’t seem to get out, call a friend, a family member or a mental health professional for help. Have them distract you from your panic and talk through your fear so you can overcome the stress. (如果你正在焦虑中挣扎，似乎无法摆脱，打电话给朋友、家人或心理健康专家寻求帮助。让他们转移你的注意力，把你的恐惧说出来，这样你就能克服压力)”建议向他人求助，说出自己的焦虑，并指出其用处，这里应该会点明这一做法的重要性，因此G项“Knowing who to ask for help is an important step in avoiding serious problems later (知道向谁寻求帮助是避免以后出现严重问题的重要一步)”符合语境，承接前文。故选G。 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。 I needed to have a new phone installed (安装).

Scientists describe trees with this unusual quality as marcescent (凋而不落的). Deciduous (落叶的) trees, such as maple, carry out the familiar ____37____ (season) cycle. New leaves bud in spring, mature through summer, and then die in the autumn and fall. Think of marcescent trees ____38____ a special case of deciduous trees— one that skips that last step. Rather than dropping immediately, the leaves of a marcescent tree hang on until wind ____39____ (eventual) knocks them down. We see ____40____ (example) of marcescence in trees, such as some willows and beech trees. As fall approaches, the leaves of a beech tree die. Then they cling to their branch tip and rattle in the cold wind all winter long. The reason for this odd plant ____41____ (behave) remains unclear. But scientists have theories. Marcescence may help protect against hungry herbivores (食草动物), for example, deer. During winter, food is scarce and hungry deer eat new branches of young trees. The unappetizing dead leaves of marcescent trees may stop deer ____42____ (damage) the trees. Another theory is that dead leaves provide a physical barrier that the deer must eat up the dead leaves ____43____ (reach) the juicy new growth underneath. In addition, studies suggest that marcescence helps control how quickly those leaves break down, ____44____ may in turn affect the rate at which nutrients are returned to the soil. Therefore, marcescence _____45_____ (play) a significant role in nutrient cycling within ecosystems. 【答案】36. but##while 37. seasonal 38. as 39. eventually 40. examples 41. behavior##behaviour 42. damaging 43. to reach 44. which 45. plays 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了一些树是凋而不落的，这在生态系统内的养分循环中起着重要作用。 【36题详解】 考查连词。句意：虽夏去秋来，许多树的叶子变黄并落下，而有些树的叶子一直保持到春天。本空前后句构成了转折关系，或者对比关系。因此此处要填连词 but或 while。故填but/while。 【37题详解】 考查形容词。句意：落叶树木，如枫树，进行着我们熟悉的季节循环。cycle是名词，这里要用seasonal作定语来修饰。故填seasonal。 【38题详解】 考查介词。句意：我们可以把凋而不落的树看作是落叶树的一个特例——它们跳过了最后一步。think of…as…是常用结构，意为“把…….看作……”。故填as。 【39题详解】 考查副词。句意：凋而不落的树的叶子不会立即掉落，而是一直挂在树上，直到风最终把它们吹下。副词eventually来修饰动词 knocks。故填eventually。 【40题详解】 考查名词单复数。句意：我们在树木中看到凋而不落的例子，例如一些柳树和山毛榉树。example是可数名词，根据后面的some willows and beech trees可知，这里指的是多个例子。用复数形式作宾语。故填examples。 【41题详解】 考查名词。句意：这种奇怪的植物行为的原因尚不清楚。名词behavior或behaviour作介词for的宾语。故填behavior/behaviour。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：凋而不落的树的令人生厌的枯叶可能会阻止鹿对树木的破坏。stop sb/ sth doing sth是常见结构，意为“阻止某人/某物做某事”。故填damaging。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：另一种理论是，枯叶提供了一个物理屏障，鹿必须吃掉枯叶才能到达下面多汁的新生长物。这里要用一个不定式来表示目的，因此本空应该填to reach。故填to reach. 【44题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：此外，研究表明，凋而不落有助于控制这些叶子分解的速度，这可能反过来影响营养物质返回土壤的速度。这是个非限制性定语从句，它的先行词是how quickly those leaves break down，作主语，因此关系代词为which。故填which。 【45题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：因此凋而不落在生态系统内的养分循环中起着重要作用。本句在陈述客观事实，用一般现在时。主语为marcescence，谓语为单数形式。故填plays。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，你校将邀请一位书法家举办一场主题为“书法艺术的文化价值”的讲座。请你给对书法感兴趣的留学生 Jack写一封邮件，内容包括： 1.讲座的主要内容和意义； 2.期待他参加讲座。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Jack, _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jack, I’m writing to tell you some exciting news.

Nick was 20 and was on the autism (孤独症) and despite her knowing he had so much to give, what he would do after graduation kept the mom up at night. She always lay in bed at midnight, wondering what was going to happen to her son. In Pennsylvania, where they lived, students with disabilities could stay in school until they were 22 years old. Stanko said she’d heard from many parents of kids with disabilities that they worried about their kids’ futures. And she actually remembered a saying that her father had: When you have a problem, hope like crazy then get up off your knees and do something. And that was when it popped in her head: so much to give. She brought her worry to Nick’s therapist (治疗师), Tyler Kammerle, who told her he had a goal of opening a restaurant to employ people with disabilities. They teamed up with donors to make that dream a reality, and about two years later, “so much to give” was no longer just Stanko’s worry. It was a restaurant. They opened the So Much To Give Inclusive Cafe in Cedars, Pennsylvania in January 2023. They employed 63 people — 80% of the employees with a disability — and they worked as greeters, food runners, chefs, dishwashers and servers. The cafe was not only a place to work, it’d become a safe space for others with disabilities to dine. Stanko even never took Nick to any restaurant before this cafe opened. Because she thought it wasn’t worth it. Nick didn’t know how to sit in a restaurant. He would stand up and start hopping like a rabbit or clapping or yelling. Stanko wondered if Nick would be able to work at the cafe because of his disability. 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。 Hesitantly and worriedly, Stanko took Nick to the cafe to work. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Inspired by Nick’s excellent performance in the cafe, Stanko opened up a studio to teach the disabled skills. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Hesitantly and worriedly, Stanko took Nick to the cafe to work. At first, Nick was a bit nervous and clumsy. But with the patient guidance and encouragement from his colleagues, he gradually found his rhythm. Nick started to enjoy his tasks, whether it was clearing the tables or greeting the guests. Stanko watched in astonishment as her son grew more confident and independent. Inspired by Nick’s excellent performance in the cafe, Stanko opened up a studio to teach the disabled skills. In this studio, various courses were offered, from basic cooking to art and craft. The disabled individuals, filled with enthusiasm and a hunger for learning, flocked to the classes. They focused intently on each lesson, eager to master the new skills. Under Stanko’s dedicated guidance, they made remarkable progress. The studio became a hub of creativity and self-improvement. Stanko felt a deep sense of fulfillment seeing their growth and the joy on their faces. It was a testament to the power of determination and the belief in one’s potential. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Maureen Stanko如何因对儿子Nick的未来担忧，而与他人合作开设了一家专门雇佣残疾人的咖啡馆，并进一步开设了一个教授残疾人技能的工作室的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Stanko带着犹豫和担忧的心情带Nick去咖啡馆工作。”以及第二段首句内容“受到Nick在咖啡馆出色表现的启发，Stanko开设了一个工作室，教授残疾人技能。”可知，第一段可描写令人惊讶的是，一开始紧张的Nick之后在咖啡馆的表现非常好。 ②由第二段首句内容“受到Nick在咖啡馆出色表现的启发，Stanko开设了一个工作室，教授残疾人技能。”可知，第二段可描写Stanko的工作室让残疾人也找到了自我。 2.续写线索：Stanko带着犹豫和担忧的心情带Nick去咖啡馆工作——Nick有点紧张和笨拙，但是慢慢地，在同事的帮助下，Nick开始变得越来越自信，表现非常好——受到Nick在咖啡馆出色表现的启发，Stanko开设了一个工作室，教授残疾人技能——残疾人非常踊跃报名，渴望学习新技能——随着他们的进步，这些残疾人逐渐找回了自我和信心 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①开始：start/commence ②提供：offer/provide ③专注于：focus on/concentrate on 情绪类 ①紧张地：nervous/tense ②惊讶地：in astonishment/in surprise 【点睛】【高分句型1】Nick started to enjoy his tasks, whether it was clearing the tables or greeting the guests.

Working in the late 19th and early 20th century, Bailey studied birds in nature, focusing on their behaviors rather than on their colors and feather patterns. Bailey was a writer. At the age of 26, she penned her first book, Birds Through an Opera-Glass, considered one of the first modern field guides for bird-watching since it included both notes on behaviors and illustrations. Rachel Carson Rachel Carson started her career as a marine biologist for the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries. Because of her talent as a writer, she was drafted to create brochures and radio programs in addition to her regular research duties. She eventually rose to oversee a team of writers for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. She also contributed articles to newspapers and magazines. In the 1950s, after the success of her book The Sea Around Us, Carson focused full-time on nature writing. Herma Albertson Baggley Herma Albertson Baggley grew up in Iowa but studied botany (植物学) in Idaho and spent her professional career in Wyoming’s Yellowstone National Park. When she joined the National Park Service(NPS)in the early 1930s, she was the first full-time female naturalist. Putting her botany knowledge to work, Baggley co-wrote a guide called Plants of Yellowstone National Park. Though it was published in 1936, it was so comprehensive (详尽) that it is still referenced today. Margaret Murie Margaret Murie, known to almost everyone as “Mardy”(the name she often used in her byline), grew up in Fairbanks, Alaska. She is best known for being the driving force behind the effort to create and expand the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. During her life, she worked as a consultant (顾问) for the NPS, the Sierra Club, and a number of similar environmental protection organizations. 1. What do Bailey and Carson have in common? A. Growing up in Iowa. B. Writing their own books. C. Designing a tour brochure. D. Working for the Sierra Club. 2. Who was the first full-time female naturalist in the NPS? A. Florence Augusta Merriam Bailey. B. Rachel Carson. C. Herma Albertson Baggley. D. Margaret Murie. 3. What made Murie famous? A. Her government position. B. Her childhood experiences. C. Her articles on social media. D. Her efforts to develop the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. B When Myrna was ten, she lived in Ohio, and witnessed a terrible tornado. She was playing in the backyard one day when she heard a strange sound. The sky turned purple, with a little green. Looking into the woods behind her, she saw a long tornado. The tornado headed for the house across from hers! Then, Myrna found a little boy tumbling (摔倒) inside a house. It was terrifying. Myrna felt she couldn’t move. She seemed stuck to the ground. She kept watching and saw the boy get sucked out of the house! She screamed for help, but no one responded. Myrna went inside and told her dad what she had seen. Her dad had been watching the tornado from inside the house. When Myrna came in, he realized that she had been outside, and he started to scold (责骂) her. However, Myrna told her father that she had seen the tornado pick up a house and cause a boy to fly out. Her father expressed sadness for the boy and his parents, and hoped the boy was safe and sound. After the tornado ended, Myrna’s father decided to go over to the remains of the house. He saw that the owners had returned home and were searching through the mess. He asked what was wrong, and the owners worriedly replied that they couldn’t find their little boy. Myrna said to the owners what she had seen. They asked in which direction the boy had gone, and Myrna pointed. The owners rushed off, and Myrna and her father joined in the search. They found the boy 2 days later, and he was alive! He had been blown 1.5 miles way from his house, but had landed in a tree and had survived. The owners were very grateful for Myrna and her father’s help. This result caused Myrna to nearly cry. She was excited and proud that she had been able to influence someone’s life at such a young age. 4. Where did the strange sound come from that Myrna heard? A. From an animal. B. From a little boy. C. From the tree. D. From the tornado. 5. Why was Myrna’s father angry with her when she came in? A. She forgot to do her homework. B. She forgot to go to school in time. C. She failed to save the boy from the tornado. D. She stayed outside when the tornado came. 6. How did the father feel when knowing the boy’s story? A. Sad. B. Calm. C. Angry and nervous. D. Disappointed and puzzled. 7. Why did the girl almost cry? A She had been scolded by her father. B. She was excited and proud of herself. C. She had been badly hurt by the tornado. D She was ashamed not to help the boy’s parents. C 2023 was a “breakout year” for artificial intelligence (AI). Following the release of AI at the end of 2022, machine learning has increasingly been in the public eye. AI made its way into courtrooms, music and art this year, raising a lot of concerns from the public. In the field of science, the cutting-edge technology is paving the way toward new discoveries and more advanced processing of data. Several groups of researchers experimented with having AI algorithms generate words, images and even music based on people’s brain scans—a technique that, in the end, could help stroke patients and paralyzed people to communicate with other people by thinking. Machine learning has helped in conservation, such as by tracking migrating birds — the AI-powered tool BirdCast can warn people of an incoming wave of migrants, which may help prevent disease, inform Lights Out programs to reduce window strikes, and remind bird watchers of large groups of birds in their area. Scientists are also developing AI tools that can identify species based only on a photograph, distinguish between similar-looking mushrooms or recognize a bird species from its song. Inspired by the way, a famous AI company follows patterns in language to generate words, and researchers have experimented with translating whale sounds using AI. At the same time, experts warned this year the public of the need to regulate the rapidly advancing technology. For example, Geoffrey Hinton, a machine learning pioneer, quit his job in May so that he could speak more freely about his worries about AI’s future. Experts have raised concerns that AI could spread misinformation, manipulate humans and influence the job market badly if it is completely out of control. But innovation continues after all, and it seems likely that researchers will increasingly use AI to attempt breakthroughs in many fields. 8. What does the underlined word “cutting-edge” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Abnormal. B. Advanced. C. Outdated. D. Curious. 9. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The development of AI in history. B. The negative or harmful side of AI. C. The advantages and disadvantages of AI. D. The application of AI in various fields. 10. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. AI development has stopped. B. Experts only see positive outcomes from AI. C. Despite concerns, AI research will continue. D. Geoffrey Hinton supports uncontrolled AI. 11. Why do experts find it necessary to regulate the AI? A. It may do harm to health. B. It may lead to pollution. C. It may result in unemployment. D. It may make people become dishonest. D Tigers can weigh over 600 pounds, leap up to 20 feet and take down prey (猎物) nearly five times their weight. But for all their strength, their position on the food chain in their habitats can be fragile. To survive, a single tiger must consume about 100 pounds of flesh each week. That equals about 50 large animals each year. This means tigers require large parts of land, and the land must be filled with prey. In the past century, however, people have been closing in, clearing vast areas of habitat for agriculture. Hunting has also driven down numbers of prey animals. An estimated global tiger population of 100,000 in 1900, spread across Asia and parts of the Middle East, today measures about 4,500. The number was 3,200 in2010. Tigers now occupy less than 7% of their historical range. In India, where 70% of the world’s wild tigers live, human population growth and development are pressing people and tigers closer together. Millions of people now live in “buffer zones” around tiger reserves, and each year tigers kill hundreds of farm animals. Krithi, head of the Centre for Wildlife Studies, spends significant time and resources trying to reduce human-wildlife conflict. One of the centre’s programs works with around 2,000 rural communities to provide government payments for people who have lost farm animals to tigers’ attacks. “These payments don’t fully make up for what people have lost, but can help them face it,” Krithi says. “If these payments don’t reach people, the chance of building hatred toward tigers will go up.” Another program teaches children about the role tigers and other animals play in their ecosystems. Krithi says, “Or the kids will view wildlife with hostility and fear.” It also provides them with simple tips, such as carrying flashlights and talking loudly while traveling in groups, to keep them safe near wildlife. 12. What condition must tigers need for survival? A. High mountains. B. Vast grasslands. C. Large population. D. Enough land and prey. 13. Which has the largest population of the world’s wild tigers? A. Asia. B. Africa. C. Europe. D. America. 14. What is the purpose of the government payments? A. To pay for the losses of crops. B. To encourage people to raise tigers. C. To make up for the losses of people. D. To inspire people to keep more farm animals. 15. How many pieces of simple suggestions are given in the last paragraph? A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5. 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。 For the most part, anxiety is a condition that comes and goes.

Nick was 20 and was on the autism (孤独症) and despite her knowing he had so much to give, what he would do after graduation kept the mom up at night. She always lay in bed at midnight, wondering what was going to happen to her son. In Pennsylvania, where they lived, students with disabilities could stay in school until they were 22 years old. Stanko said she’d heard from many parents of kids with disabilities that they worried about their kids’ futures. And she actually remembered a saying that her father had: When you have a problem, hope like crazy then get up off your knees and do something. And that was when it popped in her head: so much to give. She brought her worry to Nick’s therapist (治疗师), Tyler Kammerle, who told her he had a goal of opening a restaurant to employ people with disabilities. They teamed up with donors to make that dream a reality, and about two years later, “so much to give” was no longer just Stanko’s worry. It was a restaurant. They opened the So Much To Give Inclusive Cafe in Cedars, Pennsylvania in January 2023. They employed 63 people — 80% of the employees with a disability — and they worked as greeters, food runners, chefs, dishwashers and servers. The cafe was not only a place to work, it’d become a safe space for others with disabilities to dine. Stanko even never took Nick to any restaurant before this cafe opened. Because she thought it wasn’t worth it. Nick didn’t know how to sit in a restaurant. He would stand up and start hopping like a rabbit or clapping or yelling. Stanko wondered if Nick would be able to work at the cafe because of his disability. 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。 Hesitantly and worriedly, Stanko took Nick to the cafe to work. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Inspired by Nick’s excellent performance in the cafe, Stanko opened up a studio to teach the disabled skills. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
