Like almost every set of new parents, Bryan and Elizabeth Shaw started snapping pictures of their son, Noah, practically from the moment he was born. When he was about three months old, Elizabeth noticed something odd.
The flash on their digital camera created the typical red dot in the center of Noah’s left eye, but the right eye had a white spot at the center, almost as if the flash was being reflected back at the camera by something. When Elizabeth took Noah to an eye doctor, Noah was diagnosed with retinal (视网膜) cancer with the white reflection as a sign. He endured months of treatment, but it was too late.
Noah’s cancer is treatable if caught early. Bryan Shaw wondered whether there were signs he’d missed. He went back over every baby picture of Noah he could find and discovered the first white spot in a photo taken when Noah was 12 days old. As time went on, it appeared more frequently. “By the time he was four months old, it was showing up in 25percent of the pictures taken of him per month,” Bryan recalled.
Later, Bryan was determined to put his hard-won insights to good use. He created a database that recorded the cancer’s appearance in every photo of Noah. He also collected photos and compiled the data from eight other children with the same cancer. Armed with that data, he began to work with colleagues to develop a smartphone app that can scan the photos in the user’s camera roll to search for white eye and can be used as a kind of ophthalmoscope (眼底镜). Called White Eye Detector, it is now available for free on Google Play and in Apple’s Apple Store.
“I just kept telling myself, I really need to do this,” Bryan said. “This disease is tough to detect. Not only could this software save vision, but it can save lives.”
4. Why did Bryan and Elizabeth take pictures of Noah?
A. To record his growth.
B. To celebrate his birth.
C. To test their digital camera.
D. To collect evidence of eye diseases.
5. Which word can best describe Bryan’s feelings in paragraph 3?
A. Terrified. B. Regretful. C. Lonely. D. Exhausted.
6. What can the app do to help?
A. It serves as a detector.
B. It presents expert advice.
C. It saves photos on users’ phones.
D. It provides a worldwide database.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. How a boy lost his eye.
B. How a new app works.
C How a father saved his son.
D. How an app came into being.

Sora, a new AI model developed by the company OpenAI — creator of chatbot ChatGPT — has recently become a global focus. The text-to-video artificial intelligence technology has the potential to make a revolution in video industries.
Sora can generate videos up to a minute long while maintaining visual quality and respond to user prompts, OpenAI said. It is able to generate complex scenes with multiple characters, specific types of motion, and accurate details of the subject and background.
Liu Xingliang, director of the Beijing-based Data Center of China Internet, said Sora is undoubtedly a major breakthrough for AI. “It not only demonstrates AI’s advanced ability to understand and create complex visual content, but also brings about opportunities and challenges for video content creation, entertainment, film and television production industries. The video-generation model will help video content creators to turn their ideas into reality at a faster speed and at a lower cost, and offer audiences richer and more diverse visual experiences,” Liu said, adding that AI is expected to play a more important role in all aspects of human lives in the future.
Meanwhile, the use of text-to-video AI models raises concerns about ethics, copyright protection, personal privacy and data security, experts said. How to ensure the authenticity and transparency of the content has become an important issue, and more efforts are needed to formulate rules and regulations to ensure the healthy development of such technology.
Zhou Hongyi, founder of Chinese company 360 Security Group, said: “Sora might bring a huge disruption to the advertising industry, movie trailers and short video industry, but it may not necessarily beat TikTok quickly. It is more likely to become a creative tool for TikTok.”
8. According to the text, what is the possible function of Sora?
A. Writing an essay. B. Drawing an image.
C. Generating a movie. D. Composing a song.
9. How does Sora bring opportunities to video content industries?
A. By reducing the time of making a video.
B By adding the cost of making a video.
C. By offering audiences a single visual experience.
D. By helping the creators copy other’s ideas.
10. What is the main idea of paragraph 4?
A. The significance of Sora. B. The potential risks of Sora.
C. The working principles of Sora. D. The functions of Sora.
11. Which statement does Zhou Hongyi agree with?
A. Sora is important in all aspects of human lives.
B. Sora will replace the traditional video industry.
C. Sora poses huge risks to TikTok.
D. Sora is a double-edged sword.
D
One of the most traditional British holidays is the “seaside holiday”. Typically, families get on a train or into a car and travel to British seaside towns. They sunbathe on the beach, buy ice creams, eat fish and chips, build sandcastles and so on.
In the early 1970s, air travel became affordable for the average family in the UK, and more and more British people started travelling abroad for their summer holidays. After all, the British weather isn’t very good, even in summer, so a lot leave the UK for a vacation. Particularly popular with families on a budget is the “package holiday”, where the cost of flights and accommodation are offered as one discounted price by travel agents.
In the 1980s and 1990s, young people in the UK became more wealthy, or at least had more disposable income. As a result, young people started to go abroad in groups, to places such as Spain and Greece. Once at their destination, they socialized with other groups of young people and had one long party.
British holidaying habits have begun to change, however, climate change means that the UK now has a warmer climate than before, so people don’t always feel they need to go overseas to find good weather. Also, the world seems a less certain place as interconnected economics rise and fall, which means that the cost of foreign holidays is less predictable than it used to be. As a result, more and more Britons are choosing to spend their summer holidays in the UK.
In the UK, the domestic (国内的) tourism industry-- when people go on holiday in their own country--is healthier than it has been in decades. There is now an increased appreciation among Britons for the diversity of the UK. It is not just the geography and the diversity of climate-based activities on offer. It’s also the diversity of the cultures in the UK that is beginning to be of interest to domestic tourists.
The UK has always been famous for its international explorers, but now it is starting to discover itself.
12. What mainly caused Britons travel abroad for holidays in the early 1970s?
A. The bad weather in the UK. B. The lower cost of flights.
C. The trend of going overseas. D. The rise of tourism industry.
13. What does the underlined word “disposable” mean in paragraph 3?
A. easy to handle B. steady in amount
C. available for use D. flexible to change
14. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Climate change has an impact on the change of British holidaying habits.
B. Steady interconnected economics encourage more Britons holiday in the UK.
C. Package holiday was particularly popular with rich families in the early 1970s.
D. Both domestic and international tourists are interested in the diversity of the UK.
15. What’s author’s attitude towards UK’s domestic tourism industry?
A Uncertain. B. Pessimistic. C. Optimistic. D. Objective.
第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项(有两项为多余选项)。
Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life.___16___
Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they’ll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.
First of all, good talkers ask questions.____17____One well-known businesswoman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It’s a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions.___18___
Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn’t.

And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively. ___19___ If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he’s really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it’s time for you to change the subject.
Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If you’re saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.”____20____Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known you half their life.
A. You can become a popular person.
B. It’s polite to listen to others with a smile.
C. These people have something in common.
D. Real listening at least means some things.
E. If you want to see that person again, don’t keep it a secret.

I am a proud mother of three children, my last little one being delivered in the middle of this pandemic (疫情). She was born in August and her name is Aida.
Shortly after having Aida, my mother-in-law Ann showed me something she learned from her friend’s mother in an art class she attended weekly, She had showed me how to knit (编织) a scarf.
I spent a lot of time breastfeeding my sweet little girl, so I had some extra time to do something with my hands throughout the day. I enjoyed making the scarf so I purchased tons of yarn (线) since it was winter. I wanted to make scarves for my three children as Christmas gifts.
There was a new family that moved in down the street. The only daughter of the family was Jane, a shy girl, aged 14, the same age of my oldest son David. It seemed that she came from a financially disadvantaged family, for she always wore old clothes. Worse still, in such cold days, she had no more clothes to wear and trembled with cold.
Due to the pandemic, society was thrown into crisis mode. Schools were closed, food supplies and deliveries were suspended and children were stuck at home. In such discouraging time, however, they became good companions, talking and playing at home or around the houses.
It was dreadfully cold this winter. Every time David came back from outside, with red face, he always cried, “Mum, it is freezing outside!” Then, he came over to see whether I finished the scarf. I could tell how impatient he was to wear my scarf sooner! I had to speed the project to satisfy his expectation. But David comforted me by saying he could wait a few days. What a kind and considerate boy he was! Then my great art project finally was accomplished on the morning ahead of Christmas.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150词左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语己为你写好。
Paragraph 1: I wrapped the scarf around David’s neck.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Later that day David came back saying Jane also deserved a scarf.

Like almost every set of new parents, Bryan and Elizabeth Shaw started snapping pictures of their son, Noah, practically from the moment he was born. When he was about three months old, Elizabeth noticed something odd.
The flash on their digital camera created the typical red dot in the center of Noah’s left eye, but the right eye had a white spot at the center, almost as if the flash was being reflected back at the camera by something. When Elizabeth took Noah to an eye doctor, Noah was diagnosed with retinal (视网膜) cancer with the white reflection as a sign. He endured months of treatment, but it was too late.
Noah’s cancer is treatable if caught early. Bryan Shaw wondered whether there were signs he’d missed. He went back over every baby picture of Noah he could find and discovered the first white spot in a photo taken when Noah was 12 days old. As time went on, it appeared more frequently. “By the time he was four months old, it was showing up in 25percent of the pictures taken of him per month,” Bryan recalled.
Later, Bryan was determined to put his hard-won insights to good use. He created a database that recorded the cancer’s appearance in every photo of Noah. He also collected photos and compiled the data from eight other children with the same cancer. Armed with that data, he began to work with colleagues to develop a smartphone app that can scan the photos in the user’s camera roll to search for white eye and can be used as a kind of ophthalmoscope (眼底镜). Called White Eye Detector, it is now available for free on Google Play and in Apple’s Apple Store.
“I just kept telling myself, I really need to do this,” Bryan said. “This disease is tough to detect. Not only could this software save vision, but it can save lives.”
4. Why did Bryan and Elizabeth take pictures of Noah?
A. To record his growth.
B. To celebrate his birth.
C. To test their digital camera.
D. To collect evidence of eye diseases.
5. Which word can best describe Bryan’s feelings in paragraph 3?
A. Terrified. B. Regretful. C. Lonely. D. Exhausted.
6. What can the app do to help?
A. It serves as a detector.
B. It presents expert advice.
C. It saves photos on users’ phones.
D. It provides a worldwide database.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. How a boy lost his eye.
B. How a new app works.
C. How a father saved his son.
D. How an app came into being.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. D

【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文尤其最后一段““I just kept telling myself, I really need to do this,” Bryan said. “This disease is tough to detect. Not only could this software save vision, but it can save lives.”(“我一直告诉自己,我真的需要这样做,”布莱恩说。“这种疾病很难发现。这个软件不仅可以拯救视力,还可以拯救生命。”)”可知,本文主要讲述了由于未能及时发现迹象,错失儿子的治疗时机后,父亲积极研发app帮助他人的大爱故事。故选D项。

Sora, a new AI model developed by the company OpenAI — creator of chatbot ChatGPT — has recently become a global focus. The text-to-video artificial intelligence technology has the potential to make a revolution in video industries.
Sora can generate videos up to a minute long while maintaining visual quality and respond to user prompts, OpenAI said. It is able to generate complex scenes with multiple characters, specific types of motion, and accurate details of the subject and background.
Liu Xingliang, director of the Beijing-based Data Center of China Internet, said Sora is undoubtedly a major breakthrough for AI. “It not only demonstrates AI’s advanced ability to understand and create complex visual content, but also brings about opportunities and challenges for video content creation, entertainment, film and television production industries. The video-generation model will help video content creators to turn their ideas into reality at a faster speed and at a lower cost, and offer audiences richer and more diverse visual experiences,” Liu said, adding that AI is expected to play a more important role in all aspects of human lives in the future.
Meanwhile, the use of text-to-video AI models raises concerns about ethics, copyright protection, personal privacy and data security, experts said. How to ensure the authenticity and transparency of the content has become an important issue, and more efforts are needed to formulate rules and regulations to ensure the healthy development of such technology.
Zhou Hongyi, founder of Chinese company 360 Security Group, said: “Sora might bring a huge disruption to the advertising industry, movie trailers and short video industry, but it may not necessarily beat TikTok quickly. It is more likely to become a creative tool for TikTok.”
8. According to the text, what is the possible function of Sora?
A. Writing an essay. B. Drawing an image.
C. Generating a movie. D. Composing a song.
9. How does Sora bring opportunities to video content industries?
A. By reducing the time of making a video.
B. By adding the cost of making a video.
C. By offering audiences a single visual experience.
D. By helping the creators copy other’s ideas.
10. What is the main idea of paragraph 4?
A. The significance of Sora. B. The potential risks of Sora.
C. The working principles of Sora. D. The functions of Sora.
11. Which statement does Zhou Hongyi agree with?
A. Sora is important in all aspects of human lives.
B. Sora will replace the traditional video industry.
C. Sora poses huge risks to TikTok.
D. Sora is a double-edged sword.

One of the most traditional British holidays is the “seaside holiday”. Typically, families get on a train or into a car and travel to British seaside towns. They sunbathe on the beach, buy ice creams, eat fish and chips, build sandcastles and so on.
In the early 1970s, air travel became affordable for the average family in the UK, and more and more British people started travelling abroad for their summer holidays. After all, the British weather isn’t very good, even in summer, so a lot leave the UK for a vacation. Particularly popular with families on a budget is the “package holiday”, where the cost of flights and accommodation are offered as one discounted price by travel agents.
In the 1980s and 1990s, young people in the UK became more wealthy, or at least had more disposable income. As a result, young people started to go abroad in groups, to places such as Spain and Greece. Once at their destination, they socialized with other groups of young people and had one long party.
British holidaying habits have begun to change, however, climate change means that the UK now has a warmer climate than before, so people don’t always feel they need to go overseas to find good weather. Also, the world seems a less certain place as interconnected economics rise and fall, which means that the cost of foreign holidays is less predictable than it used to be. As a result, more and more Britons are choosing to spend their summer holidays in the UK.
In the UK, the domestic (国内的) tourism industry-- when people go on holiday in their own country--is healthier than it has been in decades. There is now an increased appreciation among Britons for the diversity of the UK. It is not just the geography and the diversity of climate-based activities on offer. It’s also the diversity of the cultures in the UK that is beginning to be of interest to domestic tourists.
The UK has always been famous for its international explorers, but now it is starting to discover itself.
12. What mainly caused Britons travel abroad for holidays in the early 1970s?
A. The bad weather in the UK. B. The lower cost of flights.
C. The trend of going overseas. D. The rise of tourism industry.
13. What does the underlined word “disposable” mean in paragraph 3?
A. easy to handle B. steady in amount
C. available for use D. flexible to change
14. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Climate change has an impact on the change of British holidaying habits.
B. Steady interconnected economics encourage more Britons holiday in the UK.
C. Package holiday was particularly popular with rich families in the early 1970s.
D. Both domestic and international tourists are interested in the diversity of the UK.
15. What’s author’s attitude towards UK’s domestic tourism industry?
A. Uncertain. B. Pessimistic. C. Optimistic. D. Objective.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. C

Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life.___16___
Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they’ll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.
First of all, good talkers ask questions.____17____One well-known businesswoman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It’s a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions.___18___
Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn’t. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively. ___19___ If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he’s really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it’s time for you to change the subject.
Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If you’re saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.”____20____Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known you half their life.
A. You can become a popular person.
B. It’s polite to listen to others with a smile.
C. These people have something in common.
D. Real listening at least means some things.
E. If you want to see that person again, don’t keep it a secret.
F. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.
G. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question.

【19题详解】
空格所在段主旨句为“Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers.”,意为“一旦健谈者提出问题,他们就会倾听答案”。再分析段落结构,根据空格后句“Real listening also means…”中的also可知,空格处应为相似句型。D项Real listening at least means some things.意为“真正的倾听者至少意味着一些事情”,与后句句式一致且符合段落主旨,能够承上启下。故选D项。
【20题详解】
空格所在段主旨句为“Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting.”,意为“健谈的人知道如何处理离别的时刻”。空格前句If you’re saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.”在模拟离别时的情景。E项If you want to see that person again, don’t keep it a secret.意为“如果你想再见到那个人,就不要保守秘密”,与上句句式一致,符合段落主题,且能够引起下文的Let people know what you feel(让人们知道你的想法),故选E项。

考查副词。句意:然而,有些人确实学得好,但这与他们天生擅长语言无关。上文“There is no such thing as being born “good at languages”.”和下文“there are people who learn language well, but that has nothing to do with them being _____2_____ ( natural) good at it.”之间为转折关系,用however;出现在句首,首字母大写。故填However。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:然而,有些人确实学得好,但这与他们天生擅长语言无关。副词形式担当状语修饰形容词good。故填naturally。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:其核心理念是,每个人都有最适合自己的学习方式。这里为定语从句的关系词,先行词为“a style of learning”,在定语从句中担当主语,用关系代词which或that引导。故填which或that。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:你需要找出自己喜欢的学习的方式,并将其应用到语言学习中。非谓语动词担当定语,表示“首选的、喜欢的”,用preferred。故填preferred。
【40题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:优秀的语言学习者会对自己的学习负责。固定短语:take responsibility for,意为“对……负责”,符合句意。故填for。
【41题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:除了常规的语言课程外,他们还会创造机会运用所学内容。这里为宾语从句的引导词,宾语从句中缺少宾语,用what引导。故填what。

考查谓语动词。句意:优秀语言学习者对所学语言的文化持有良好的态度。这里为从句谓语动词,根据主句时态可知,从句时态为一般现在时;主语为“the language”单数,和动词“speak”之间为被动关系。故填is spoken。
【43题详解】

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
I am a proud mother of three children, my last little one being delivered in the middle of this pandemic (疫情). She was born in August and her name is Aida.
Shortly after having Aida, my mother-in-law Ann showed me something she learned from her friend’s mother in an art class she attended weekly, She had showed me how to knit (编织) a scarf.
I spent a lot of time breastfeeding my sweet little girl, so I had some extra time to do something with my hands throughout the day. I enjoyed making the scarf so I purchased tons of yarn (线) since it was winter. I wanted to make scarves for my three children as Christmas gifts.
There was a new family that moved in down the street. The only daughter of the family was Jane, a shy girl, aged 14, the same age of my oldest son David. It seemed that she came from a financially disadvantaged family, for she always wore old clothes. Worse still, in such cold days, she had no more clothes to wear and trembled with cold.
Due to the pandemic, society was thrown into crisis mode. Schools were closed, food supplies and deliveries were suspended and children were stuck at home. In such discouraging time, however, they became good companions, talking and playing at home or around the houses.
It was dreadfully cold this winter. Every time David came back from outside, with red face, he always cried, “Mum, it is freezing outside!” Then, he came over to see whether I finished the scarf. I could tell how impatient he was to wear my scarf sooner! I had to speed the project to satisfy his expectation. But David comforted me by saying he could wait a few days. What a kind and considerate boy he was! Then my great art project finally was accomplished on the morning ahead of Christmas.
注意:

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I wrapped the scarf around David’s neck. David’s face lit up with joy. Stroking the scarf softly, David excitedly kissed me in the check, beaming at me “Thank you. Mum. This is the best gift I have ever received.” Before I could say anything, he dashed out to join Jane with a spring in his steps. I felt relieved and content as a mother, seeing David play happily outside, with the scarf sheltering him to brave the bone-chilling wind. Wearing a smile on my face, I continued my chores that morning.
Later that day David came back saying Jane also deserved a scarf. Obviously, David noticed Jane could hardly bear the freezing weather with worn-out clothes. “Can I give this to Jane as a Christmas gift?” David ventured in a low voice. Smilingly, I nodded. Seeing David rush into Jane’s house with the scarf in his hand, I felt a burst of pride. I was happy that both of them received the best gift for Christmas. For Jane, a scarf to keep warm, and for David, a taste of happiness of giving.
