B Before breaking his back and injuring his spinal cord (脊髓)as a result of the fall from a high mountain in 2023, Darren Edwards’ dream had been to climb Mount Qomolangma one day. “I knew that Qomolangma was out for me after the accident, but I’m fortunate because I was able to take on some other great challenges with the support of some good friends,” Darren said. Earlier this year, Darren joined the first all-disabled team to move across Europe’s largest icecap, unsupported and unassisted, on a sit-ski. It was during this trip that he realised he was no longer battling against his limitations. Rather, he was enjoying a very special adventure, one that he was able to do though he was disabled. “This was when I started dreaming of an even bigger adventure — to complete the furthest journey on a sit-ski in the history of the South Pole exploration,” he said. Darren now skis for 10 to 12 hours every day. “I am not training to be able to go faster, but to make myself ready for an endurance (耐力)challenge because I need to cover 333 km in temperatures below-20℃ before reaching the South Pole,” he said. “But I am fairly pleased to have the opportunity to take on the sit-ski exploration, especially because for one year after my accident I did not imagine I would be able to take up such challenges.” He also believes that the adventure will provide inspiration for anyone who has a spinal injury or anyone who is struggling. Realising how fortunate he has been to be encouraged by others to take on new challenges and adventures, Darren and a friend have started a business, Adaptive Expeditions. “I know how much I have gained from being able to take on adventures that I never imagined would be possible due to the spinal cord injury. So we want to inspire individuals with disabilities by offering the same opportunities and impactful explorations to push their limits and discover their potential,” Darren said. 41. What did Darren learn from his sit-ski experience in Europe? A. Adventurous trips benefit disabled people. B. Physical disabilities never determine a person. C. The disabled deserve support and assistance. D. Teamwork leads to a successful journey. 42. Why does Darren train hard for his scheduled journey to the South Pole? A. To reduce his disability impact. B. To learn basic ski skills quickly. C. To prepare for physical limits. D. To improve his speed on the ski. 43. How does Darren feel about his upcoming trip to the South Pole? A. Positive and determined. B. Stressed and nervous. C. Relieved and encouraged. D. Worried and puzzled. 44. What does Darren want to do by founding Adaptive Expeditions? A. Encourage the disabled to make more friends. B. Teach the disabled to adapt to their daily life. C. Provide life-changing opportunities for the disabled. D. Help the disabled turn hobbies into work. 45. What lesson can we learn from Darren’s story? A. He who laughs in the end laughs best. B. What goes around comes around. C. Failure is the mother of success. D. Where there is a will, there is a way. C On a regular Tuesday morning, a large crowd has gathered outside a grocery store in Xuchang, a city with 4 million people. Visit Pangdonglai at the weekend and things are even busier. Thousands of people, some having travelled hundreds of kilometers away, arrive before dawn to line up. The line winds back and forth in front of the store’s entrance. Nowadays, in China, the fancy shopping centers are often empty, and the economy is struggling. But the success of Pangdonglai’s 13 stores has caught the attention of business managers who want to know what consumers are thinking. The latest economic data make these long lines even more interesting. In March, retail (零售) spending only grew by 3.1% compared to last year, which is much lower than expected. That same month, listed retail companies cut their expected earnings by an average of 7%. In Shanghai, where people spend three times more per person than in the province where Pangdonglai is located, high-end grocery stores are closing. Pangdonglai’s success can teach us something about how to increase China’s economy and what a revived (复苏的) economy might look like. It’s easy to see what people are buying. Shoppers rush to fill their carts with common items: fresh fruits and vegetables, pastries, and local treats like Menzi, a steamed tapioca dish. Some quickly grab a lot of a popular cake before it runs out. Customers have a variety of explanations as to why they have travelled to what appears to be a nice but ordinary store. Many praise the service publicly. Superior produce also helps: unsold fruit and vegetables are thrown away after a day on shelves, shoppers say. Prices are not low but are considered fair. It is reported that many customers are impressed by Pangdonglai’s employment policies. The firm is said to pay more than three times the local average among industry peers and give staff at least 40 days off a year, a very good amount for China. Some may just appreciate the atmosphere. In the very clean aisles (通道), the words “Freedom &Love” are printed in bold lettering. 46. What makes Pangdonglai’s stores stand out? A. Its extremely low prices. B. The large variety of goods. C. Its success despite the struggling economy. D. The store’s international influence. 47. How does the growth rate of retail spending in March compare to expectations? A. It gos beyond expectations. B. It meets expectations. C It is well below expectations. D. There is no clear comparison. 48. In this context, the word “Superior” most likely means ________. A. Low-quality. B. High-quality. C. Common. D. Cheap. 49. Which of the following can be inferred about Pangdonglai’s influence? A. It has only a local influence on the shopping habits of people in Xuchang. B. It might inspire other retailers to improve their employment conditions. C. Its success mainly lies in its unique product selection instead of other aspects. D. It has little to do with the overall economic situation of China. 50. What would be the best title for the passage? A. “Pangdonglai: The Struggles of China’s Retail Economy”. B. “Pangdonglai: A Success Story in the Retail Industry”. C. “Pangdonglai: What Shoppers Buy in the Retail Industry”. D. “Pangdonglai: The Decoration Style of China’s Retail”. D A voice assistant is a piece of intelligent software that responds to voice commands (指令) and can run on any device, including smartphones and computers. Examples include the popular Amazon’s Alexa and Apple’s Siri. According to EMAR-KETER’s forecast, by the end of 2024, there will be over 100 million voice assistant users in the US. However, advances in smart home, connected car, and smart TV technologies could show that the use of voice assistants will become more widely integrated (综合的). Some companies have begun combining AI-powered (人工智能驱动的) voice assistants with their call centers. Banks have quickly adopted these tools. Some banks even use voice-activated commands to perform tasks. Also, businesses can use developer-centric platforms to help expand their operations by making use of AI in many applications (应用), including voice robots. In August 2023, Voiceflow, a company that focuses on building and introducing conversational AI tools, raised $15 million in funding. The company has customers from famous brands like Amazon, JPMorgan Chase, and The Home Depot, and is just one example of how much money using AI voice features can bring. The future of voice assistants lies in their increasing combination with AI and machine learning technologies, enabling them to understand and deal with natural language more accurately. The new Alexa’s conversational skills are expected to become more advanced, enabling customers to use the integrated AI for shopping, writing emails and ordering food. Apple’s upcoming Apple Intelligence will enable Siri to do more like a personal assistant, such as taking spoken and written instructions and using data from the users’ contacts, calendars, maps and preferences to create personalized results. However, some customers are careful of voice assistants, especially when it comes to sensitive data. It’s strongly advised that companies that are developing the technologies, make their privacy (隐私) policies open and actively build those standards into the technology. 51. What will the popularity of voice assistants lead to? A. Their competition with smart home applications. B. Their combination with advanced technologies. C. Their promoting social communication among people. D. Their getting rid of the dependence on hardware. 52. Why does the author mention Voiceflow? A. To describe the company’s customer base. B. To show the economic value of voice assistants. C. To introduce the AI tools developed by voice assistants. D. To stress the company’s source of income. 53. What will future voice assistants be like according to the text? A. Offering accurate and personalized help. B. Replacing human assistants gradually. C. Working easily without Al’s support. D. Focusing mostly on conversational purposes. 54. What is the main concern about voice assistants? A. Concerns over high costs of developing voice tools. B. Concerns over difficulty in understanding user commands. C. Concerns over lack of processing natural language. D. Concerns over the safety of users’ data. 55. What is the text mainly about? A. The guidance on the usage of voice assistants. B The expectation for future technological progress. C. The introduction to voice assistants’ development. D. The explanation for the voice recognition technology. 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 Andrew, a little boy, took all his primary school teachers to a nice goodbye dinner before moving on to middle school. He even paid the bill himself. “They loved it,” Andrew’s mom said. “One of his teachers, his math teacher, said, ‘I’ve been teaching for dozens of years and that has never happened.’ All of the teachers were touched by what Andrew had done for them. I was so surprised that a simple gesture such as this would mean so much to people.” Back in July, on his birthday, Andrew decided to treat his elementary school teachers to dinner and told the decision to his parents. His parents — his mom, a lawyer, and his dad, a teacher in a high school, said, “We are proud of your idea. Your teachers deserve it. We can do you some favor, like helping you contact the restaurant.” Andrew then began saving his money for the dinner. He spared time to offer services to the neighbors, such as taking care of their babies, helping them pick up newspapers, and doing gardening. What’s more, he sold his old toys on the Internet. All in all, he raised $300. On October 15, 2024, Andrew hosted a dinner for his teachers at a local restaurant. Andrew’s mom said, “We invited Andrew’s elementary school teachers, including those who didn’t teach anymore. Andrew brought them flowers.” One of Andrew’s teachers said they were moved by Andrew’s words. She described the scene, “At the beginning of the dinner, Andrew said, ‘The dinner is on me.’ He said our hard work inspired his action. He was obliged to us for teaching him throughout the school years. We replied, ‘Don’t mention it. That’s our job.’ Andrew’s kind behavior proves that teaching is indeed a meaningful job.” 56.

Earlier this year, Darren joined the first all-disabled team to move across Europe’s largest icecap, unsupported and unassisted, on a sit-ski. It was during this trip that he realised he was no longer battling against his limitations. Rather, he was enjoying a very special adventure, one that he was able to do though he was disabled. “This was when I started dreaming of an even bigger adventure — to complete the furthest journey on a sit-ski in the history of the South Pole exploration,” he said. Darren now skis for 10 to 12 hours every day. “I am not training to be able to go faster, but to make myself ready for an endurance (耐力)challenge because I need to cover 333 km in temperatures below-20℃ before reaching the South Pole,” he said. “But I am fairly pleased to have the opportunity to take on the sit-ski exploration, especially because for one year after my accident I did not imagine I would be able to take up such challenges.” He also believes that the adventure will provide inspiration for anyone who has a spinal injury or anyone who is struggling. Realising how fortunate he has been to be encouraged by others to take on new challenges and adventures, Darren and a friend have started a business, Adaptive Expeditions. “I know how much I have gained from being able to take on adventures that I never imagined would be possible due to the spinal cord injury. So we want to inspire individuals with disabilities by offering the same opportunities and impactful explorations to push their limits and discover their potential,” Darren said. 41. What did Darren learn from his sit-ski experience in Europe? A. Adventurous trips benefit disabled people. B. Physical disabilities never determine a person. C. The disabled deserve support and assistance. D. Teamwork leads to a successful journey. 42. Why does Darren train hard for his scheduled journey to the South Pole? A. To reduce his disability impact. B. To learn basic ski skills quickly. C. To prepare for physical limits. D. To improve his speed on the ski. 43. How does Darren feel about his upcoming trip to the South Pole? A. Positive and determined. B. Stressed and nervous. C. Relieved and encouraged. D. Worried and puzzled. 44. What does Darren want to do by founding Adaptive Expeditions? A. Encourage the disabled to make more friends. B. Teach the disabled to adapt to their daily life. C. Provide life-changing opportunities for the disabled. D. Help the disabled turn hobbies into work. 45. What lesson can we learn from Darren’s story? A. He who laughs in the end laughs best. B. What goes around comes around. C. Failure is the mother of success. D. Where there is a will, there is a way. 【答案】41. B 42. C 43. A 44. C 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了Darren Edwards在2023年从高山坠落导致背部受伤、脊髓受损后，依然坚持挑战自我，加入全残疾人团队完成欧洲最大冰盖的无支援穿越，并梦想完成南极探险史上最远的坐姿滑雪之旅。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“It was during this trip that he realised he was no longer battling against his limitations. Rather, he was enjoying a very special adventure, one that he was able to do though he was disabled.(正是在这次旅行中，他意识到自己不再与自己的局限作斗争。相反，他正在享受一次非常特别的冒险，尽管他残疾了，但他还是能够完成这次冒险。)”可知，Darren从这次欧洲的坐姿滑雪经历中学到了身体残疾并不能决定一个人，他依然能够完成特别的冒险。因此，选项B“Physical disabilities never determine a person.(身体残疾从来不能决定一个人)”符合语境。故选B。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“I am not training to be able to go faster, but to make myself ready for an endurance (耐力) challenge because I need to cover 333 km in temperatures below -20℃ before reaching the South Pole,(我不是在训练以便能滑得更快，而是为了让自己为耐力挑战做好准备，因为我在到达南极之前需要在零下20℃的气温中滑行333公里。)”可知，Darren努力训练是为了为身体极限做准备。因此，选项C“To prepare for physical limits.(为了为身体极限做准备)”符合题意。故选C。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“Darren now skis for 10 to 12 hours every day. “I am not training to be able to go faster, but to make myself ready for an endurance (耐力)challenge because I need to cover 333 km in temperatures below-20℃ before reaching the South Pole,” he said. (Darren现在每天滑雪10到12个小时。他说：“我不是为了跑得更快而训练，而是为了让自己为耐力挑战做好准备，因为在到达南极点之前，我需要在低于20℃的温度下跑333公里。”)”以及“But I am fairly pleased to have the opportunity to take on the sit-ski exploration, especially because for one year after my accident I did not imagine I would be able to take up such challenges.(但我很高兴有机会进行坐姿滑雪探险，尤其是因为在我出事后的一年里，我根本没有想到自己能够接受这样的挑战。)”以及本段中“He also believes that the adventure will provide inspiration for anyone who has a spinal injury or anyone who is struggling.(他还相信，这次冒险将为任何脊椎受伤或正在挣扎的人提供激励。)”可知，Darren对于这次比赛做好了准备，并且也很高兴有机会进行坐姿滑雪探险，并且他还相信这次冒险能够给其他人提供激励，因此对于即将到来的南极之旅感到积极和有决心。因此，选项A“Positive and determined.(积极和有决心的)”符合题意。故选A。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“So we want to inspire individuals with disabilities by offering the same opportunities and impactful explorations to push their limits and discover their potential,(因此，我们想通过提供同样的机会和影响深远的探险来激励残疾人，让他们挑战自己的极限，发现自己的潜力。)”可知，Darren创办Adaptive Expeditions的目的是为残疾人提供改变生活的机会。因此，选项C“Provide life-changing opportunities for the disabled.(为残疾人提供改变生活的机会)”符合题意。故选C。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，Darren在遭遇背部受伤和脊髓受损的重大挫折后，依然没有放弃，而是积极面对挑战，努力训练，并创办企业激励其他残疾人。他的故事告诉我们只要有决心和毅力，就一定能够找到实现目标的方法。因此，选项D“Where there is a will, there is a way.(有志者事竟成)”符合题意。故选D。 C On a regular Tuesday morning, a large crowd has gathered outside a grocery store in Xuchang, a city with 4 million people. Visit Pangdonglai at the weekend and things are even busier. Thousands of people, some having travelled hundreds of kilometers away, arrive before dawn to line up. The line winds back and forth in front of the store’s entrance. Nowadays, in China, the fancy shopping centers are often empty, and the economy is struggling. But the success of Pangdonglai’s 13 stores has caught the attention of business managers who want to know what consumers are thinking. The latest economic data make these long lines even more interesting. In March, retail (零售) spending only grew by 3.1% compared to last year, which is much lower than expected. That same month, listed retail companies cut their expected earnings by an average of 7%. In Shanghai, where people spend three times more per person than in the province where Pangdonglai is located, high-end grocery stores are closing. Pangdonglai’s success can teach us something about how to increase China’s economy and what a revived (复苏的) economy might look like. It’s easy to see what people are buying. Shoppers rush to fill their carts with common items: fresh fruits and vegetables pastries, and local treats like Menzi, a steamed tapioca dish. Some quickly grab a lot of a popular cake before it runs out. Customers have a variety of explanations as to why they have travelled to what appears to be a nice but ordinary store. Many praise the service publicly. Superior produce also helps: unsold fruit and vegetables are thrown away after a day on shelves, shoppers say. Prices are not low but are considered fair. It is reported that many customers are impressed by Pangdonglai’s employment policies. The firm is said to pay more than three times the local average among industry peers and give staff at least 40 days off a year, a very good amount for China. Some may just appreciate the atmosphere. In the very clean aisles (通道), the words “Freedom &Love” are printed in bold lettering. 46. What makes Pangdonglai’s stores stand out? A. Its extremely low prices. B. The large variety of goods. C.

But the success of Pangdonglai’s 13 stores has caught the attention of business managers who want to know what consumers are thinking.(在一个普通的周二上午，许昌一家杂货店外聚集了一大群人。许昌有400万人口。周末去盘东来，事情就更忙了。成千上万的人，有些人从数百公里外赶来，在黎明前到达排队。队伍在商店门口蜿蜒而来。如今，在中国，高档购物中心往往是空荡荡的，经济也在苦苦挣扎。但胖东来13家门店的成功引起了企业经理的注意，他们想知道消费者在想什么)”可知，尽管经济不景气，胖东来还是取得了成功，让胖东来的门店脱颖而出。故选C。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In March, retail (零售) spending only grew by 3.1% compared to last year, which is much lower than expected.(3月份，零售支出同比仅增长3.1%，远低于预期)”可知，3月份的零售支出增长率远低于预期。故选C。 【48题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Many praise the service publicly.(许多人公开称赞这项服务)”以及后文“unsold fruit and vegetables are thrown away after a day on shelves(未售出的水果和蔬菜在上架一天后就会被扔掉)”可知，未售出的水果和蔬菜在上架一天后就会被扔掉，得到了许多人的称赞，说明农产品质量很好。故划线词意思是“质量好”。故选B。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It is reported that many customers are impressed by Pangdonglai’s employment policies. The firm is said to pay more than three times the local average among industry peers and give staff at least 40 days off a year, a very good amount for China. Some may just appreciate the atmosphere. In the very clean aisles (通道), the words “Freedom &Love” are printed in bold lettering.(据悉，许多客户对盘东莱的就业政策印象深刻。据说，该公司支付的工资是当地同行平均水平的三倍多，每年给员工至少40天的假期，这对中国来说是一个非常好的数字。有些人可能只是欣赏这种氛围。在非常干净的过道上，用粗体字印着“自由与爱”)”可知，胖东来可能会激励其他零售商改善他们的就业条件。故选B。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Pangdonglai’s success can teach us something about how to increase China’s economy and what a revived (复苏的) economy might look like.(胖东来的成功可以教会我们如何发展中国经济，以及复苏后的经济会是什么样子)”结合文章主要介绍了经济不景气的情况下，胖东来却取得了成功，文章分析了背后的原因以及带来的启示。可知，B选项“胖东来：零售业的成功故事”最符合文章标题。故选B。 D A voice assistant is a piece of intelligent software that responds to voice commands (指令) and can run on any device, including smartphones and computers. Examples include the popular Amazon’s Alexa and Apple’s Siri. According to EMAR-KETER’s forecast, by the end of 2024, there will be over 100 million voice assistant users in the US. However, advances in smart home, connected car, and smart TV technologies could show that the use of voice assistants will become more widely integrated (综合的). Some companies have begun combining AI-powered (人工智能驱动的) voice assistants with their call centers. Banks have quickly adopted these tools. Some banks even use voice-activated commands to perform tasks. Also, businesses can use developer-centric platforms to help expand their operations by making use of AI in many applications (应用), including voice robots. In August 2023, Voiceflow, a company that focuses on building and introducing conversational AI tools, raised $15 million in funding. The company has customers from famous brands like Amazon, JPMorgan Chase, and The Home Depot, and is just one example of how much money using AI voice features can bring. The future of voice assistants lies in their increasing combination with AI and machine learning technologies, enabling them to understand and deal with natural language more accurately. The new Alexa’s conversational skills are expected to become more advanced, enabling customers to use the integrated AI for shopping, writing emails and ordering food. Apple’s upcoming Apple Intelligence will enable Siri to do more like a personal assistant, such as taking spoken and written instructions and using data from the users’ contacts, calendars, maps and preferences to create personalized results. However, some customers are careful of voice assistants, especially when it comes to sensitive data. It’s strongly advised that companies that are developing the technologies, make their privacy (隐私) policies open and actively build those standards into the technology. 51. What will the popularity of voice assistants lead to? A. Their competition with smart home applications. B. Their combination with advanced technologies. C.

To show the economic value of voice assistants. C. To introduce the AI tools developed by voice assistants. D. To stress the company’s source of income. 53. What will future voice assistants be like according to the text? A. Offering accurate and personalized help. B. Replacing human assistants gradually. C. Working easily without Al’s support. D. Focusing mostly on conversational purposes. 54. What is the main concern about voice assistants? A. Concerns over high costs of developing voice tools. B. Concerns over difficulty in understanding user commands. C. Concerns over lack of processing natural language. D. Concerns over the safety of users’ data. 55. What is the text mainly about? A.

He even paid the bill himself. “They loved it,” Andrew’s mom said. “One of his teachers, his math teacher, said, ‘I’ve been teaching for dozens of years and that has never happened.’ All of the teachers were touched by what Andrew had done for them. I was so surprised that a simple gesture such as this would mean so much to people.” Back in July, on his birthday, Andrew decided to treat his elementary school teachers to dinner and told the decision to his parents. His parents — his mom, a lawyer, and his dad, a teacher in a high school, said, “We are proud of your idea. Your teachers deserve it. We can do you some favor, like helping you contact the restaurant.” Andrew then began saving his money for the dinner. He spared time to offer services to the neighbors, such as taking care of their babies, helping them pick up newspapers, and doing gardening. What’s more, he sold his old toys on the Internet. All in all, he raised $300. On October 15, 2024, Andrew hosted a dinner for his teachers at a local restaurant. Andrew’s mom said, “We invited Andrew’s elementary school teachers, including those who didn’t teach anymore. Andrew brought them flowers.” One of Andrew’s teachers said they were moved by Andrew’s words. She described the scene, “At the beginning of the dinner, Andrew said, ‘The dinner is on me.’ He said our hard work inspired his action. He was obliged to us for teaching him throughout the school years. We replied, ‘Don’t mention it. That’s our job.’ Andrew’s kind behavior proves that teaching is indeed a meaningful job.” 56.
