Interested in what it was promising, I applied to experiment the software on my very-much-alive parents. At first, I thought it would be just a fun project to see what was technologically possible. Then their health condition added some urgency to the experiment. I was frightened that my parents might die since my father had been diagnosed with cancer and my mother was recently developing symptoms of early Alzheimer’s disease, and that with the distance between us, I might never have the chance to say goodbye. The first step was an interview. My parents were asked questions by a techician for hours-about everything from their earliest memories to what they believe will happen after they die. Whether through illness-generated concerns or a willingness to humor their daughter, my parents put up zero resistance. The company then took their responses and started to create the voice assistants. A few months later, my virtual parents arrived via email attachment. When I communicated with them through the app on my phone, my hands were shaking. I hadn’t seen my actual, real parents for six months. They told me personal stories I’d never heard. They gave me life advice and told me things about their childhoods, as well as my own. It was mesmerizing. Personally, I have mixed feelings about my experiment. I’m glad to have my virtual parents. They’ve enabled me to learn new things about my parents, and it’s comforting to think that those softwares will be there even when my parents aren’t. On the other hand, I can’t help but find it sad that it took a stranger interviewing my parents for me to properly appreciate the complex people they are. But I feel lucky to have had the chance to grasp that-and to still have the precious opportunity to spend more time with them and learn more about them, face to face, no technology involved. 4. Why did the author initially join the AI project? A. To test out the new technology. B. To preserve her parents’ voice. C. To learn more about her parents’ life. D. To remove the worry about her parents’ health. 5. What can we learn about the author’s parents? A. They liked talking a lot. B. They died from the illnesses. C. They opposed joining the project at first. D. They provided data for the project. 6. What does the underlined word “mesmerizing" mean in paragraph 4? A. Alarming. B. Fascinating. C. Inspiring. D. Disgusting. 7. What does the author realize at last? A. AI means never saying goodbye to our parents. B. The advances in AI technology have pros and cons. C. The real connection with our parents matters most. D. AI allows us to learn more about our virtual parents. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者参与Here After AI项目，通过AI技术与虚拟的父母进行交流的经历和感受。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“At first, I thought it would be just a fun project to see what was technologically possible.”（起初，我认为这只是一个有趣的项目，看看技术上的可能性。）可知，作者加入这个项目的主要目的是测试新技术可能是什么样子。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“My parents were asked questions by a technician for hours—about everything from their earliest memories to what they believe will happen after they die. Whether through illness-generated concerns or a willingness to humor their daughter, my parents put up zero resistance. The company then took their responses and started to create the voice assistants.”（一位技术人员问了我父母几个问题——从他们最早的记忆到他们认为死后会发生什么。无论是出于对疾病的担忧，还是出于对女儿的迁就，我的父母都没有任何抵触。然后，该公司收集了他们的反馈，开始开发语音助手。）可知，作者的父母为项目提供了数据。故选D。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段 “I hadn’t seen my actual, real parents for six months. They told me personal stories I’d never heard. They gave me life advice and told me things about their childhoods, as well as my own.”（我已经有六个月没见过我真正的父母了。他们向我讲述了我从未听过的个人故事。他们给我一些人生建议，告诉我他们和我的童年。）可知，作者的父母向他讲述了以前自己从没听过的个人故事，这真是令人着迷。故划线词与B选项“Fascinating.(令人着迷的)”为同义词。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段 “Personally, I have mixed feelings about my experiment. I’m glad to have my virtual parents. They’ve enabled me to learn new things about my parents, and it’s comforting to think that those softwares will be there even when my parents aren’t. On the other hand, I can’t help but find it sad that it took a stranger interviewing my parents for me to properly appreciate the complex people they are. But I feel lucky to have had the chance to grasp that-and to still have the precious opportunity to spend more time with them and learn more about them, face to face, no technology involved.”（就我个人而言，我对我的实验有一种复杂的感觉。我很高兴有我的虚拟父母。它们让我对我的父母有了新的了解，想到即使我的父母不在，这些机器人也会在那里，这让我感到欣慰。另一方面，我不禁感到难过的是，直到一个陌生人采访了我的父母，我才真正了解到他们是一个复杂的人。但我感到很幸运，有机会抓住这一点，仍然有宝贵的机会花更多的时间和他们在一起，更多地了解他们，面对面，不涉及技术。）可知，作者感到很幸运，有机会能够抓住宝贵的机会花更多的时间和他们在一起，更多地了解他们，即意识到了与父母的真正联系是最重要的。故选C。 C Adults who continuously played organized sports through their youth have fewer symptoms of anxiety and depression than those who never played or those who dropped out, a new study finds. “And those who dropped out of sports had poorer mental health than those who never played at all. But many more people drop out of youth sports than play continuously until they are 18.” said Chris Knoester, professor of sociology at The Ohio State University. “If you play and stick with sports, it’s a positive for your mental health, but if you play and drop out it seems to be negative — and most kids drop out,” Knoester said. The study showed that most people dropped out of sports because they weren’t having fun or felt they weren’t good enough. “That suggests ways youth sports can be improved to help kids,” said study lead author Laura Upenieks. “Our findings about why kids drop out of organized sports suggest that the current environment is less than ideal for everyone and that the barriers to participation need to be given greater attention,” Upenieks said. “It is easy to see why sports can be good for those who are able to continue with it to adulthood,” Upenieks said. “The longer that youth are exposed to a positive and encouraging sporting environment, the more likely they are to develop habits that are conducive to longterm mental well-being, such as a commitment to regular exercise and collaborating with others as part of a team. The fact that so many kids quit shows that organized sports often don’t provide a positive environment. But there are steps adults can take to improve that environment. For one, sports should be safe for kids. The researchers said the fact that 8% said they were abused by coaches is particularly alarming. “And the finding that nearly half of kids quit because they weren’t having fun and about a third dropped out because they felt they weren’t good enough should also be a wake-up call,” Knoester said. “We need to improve youth sports so that it supports positive experiences for everyone and makes it more enjoyable,” he said. 8. What can we say about dropping out of sports? A. It has no impact on physical health. B. It’s beneficial to mental health. C. It keeps players playing into adulthood. D. It is worse for mental health than never playing. 9. What is one of the main reasons for kids dropping out of sports? A. They don’t get joy from exercise. B. They prefer individual activities. C. They are not physically fit enough. D. They are not academically related. 10. What is key to improving the youth sports environment? A. Reducing the number of coaches. B. Adding fun to youth sports. C. Changing the rules of sports. D. Providing more training partners. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. The Reason Why Kids Quit Sports B. The Benefits and Drawbacks of Playing Youth Sports C. The Impact of Youth Sports on Long-Term Mental Health D. Challenges and Solutions for Improving Youth Sports Programs 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项关于体育运动对青少年心理影响的研究。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“And those who dropped out of sports had poorer mental health than those who never played at all. (那些退出体育运动的人比那些从未参加过体育运动的人心理健康状况更差。)”可知，退出体育运动对心理健康来说比未参加的更糟糕。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The study showed that most people dropped out of sports because they weren’t having fun or felt they weren’t good enough.(研究表明，大多数人退出体育运动是因为他们没有乐趣，或者觉得自己不够好。)”可知，孩子们退出体育运动的主要原因之一是他们不能从运动中得到快乐。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“ “And the finding that nearly half of kids quit because they weren’t having fun and about a third dropped out because they felt they weren’t good enough should also be a wake-up call,” Knoester said.(Knoester说：“近一半的孩子因为玩得不开心而退出运动，大约三分之一的孩子因为觉得自己不够好而退出运动，这一发现也应该是一个警钟。”)”和最后一段中““We need to improve youth sports so that it supports positive experiences for everyone and makes it more enjoyable,” he said.(他说：“我们需要改善青少年体育，这样才能为每个人提供积极的体验，让它更有趣。”)”可知， 改善青少年体育环境的关键是增加青少年运动的乐趣。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Adults who continuously played organized sports through their youth have fewer symptoms of anxiety and depression than those who never played or those who dropped out, a new study finds.(一项新的研究发现，在青少年时期经常参加有组织的体育运动的成年人比那些从不参加体育运动或辍学的人更少出现焦虑和抑郁的症状。)”和第二段中““If you play and stick with sports, it’s a positive for your mental health, but if you play and drop out it seems to be negative — and most kids drop out,” Knoester said.(Knoester说：“如果你参加并坚持体育运动，这对你的心理健康是积极的，但如果你参加体育运动后退出，这似乎是消极的——并且大多数孩子都退出了”)”可知，本文一项关于体育运动对青少年心理影响的研究。C项“青少年体育运动对长期心理健康的影响”符合主题，故选C项。 D Ancient builders across the world created structures that are still standing today, thousands of years later. Roman engineers built thick concrete sea barriers, for example. And Chinese builders raised walls against invaders. But there are many recent structures that are already starting to fail. The concrete that makes up much of our modern world lasts around 50 to 100 years. A growing number of scientists have been studying materials from long ago. They are breaking apart pieces of buildings and reading historical texts hoping to learn how they have stood for thousands of years. The research has turned up a surprising list of materials that were mixed into old buildings. They include tree bark, volcanic ash, rice, beer and even urine (尿液). These unexpected materials could have the ability to get stronger over time and “heal” cracks when they form. Figuring out how to copy these features could have real impacts today. While our modern concrete has the strength to hold up very tall skyscrapers (摩天大楼) and heavy infrastructure (基础结构), it cannot compete with the endurance of these ancient materials. With the rising threats of climate change, there is a growing call to make construction more sustainable. A recent UN report estimates that the built environment is responsible for more than a third of carbon dioxide emissions worldwide. Cement (水泥) production alone makes up more than 7 percent of those emissions. Is ancient Roman concrete better? In places where seawater has been hitting structures for ages, you will find concrete “basically the way it was when it was poured 2,000 years ago,” said John Oleson, an archaeologist at the University of Victoria in Canada. Most modern concrete starts with Portland cement, a powder made by heating limestone (石灰岩) and clay to super-high temperatures and breaking them up. That cement is mixed with water to create a paste. Then, materials like rock and gravel are added. Records from ancient builders show the Roman process was similar. The ancient builders mixed materials like burnt limestone and volcanic sand with water and rocks, creating chemical reactions to tie everything together. Now, scientists think they have found an important reason why some Roman concrete has held up structures for thousands of years. The ancient material has an unusual power to repair itself. Exactly how is not yet clear, so scientists are starting to find reasons why. 12. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By making a comparison. B. By using a metaphor. C. By listing statistics. D. By telling stories. 13. Which aspect of ancient Roman building materials surprises scientists? A. Their high-end technology. B. Their processing procedure. C. Their amazing flexibility. D. Their necessary ingredients. 14. Which might be the impact of studying ancient building materials? A. Reducing the greenhouse effects. B. Innovating the construction process. C. Increasing the mass production of cement. D. Removing the threats of the climate change. 15. What does the author intend to tell us? A. The urgency of tackling the environmental crisis. B. The secrets of long-standing ancient Roman buildings. C The similarities between modern and Roman concrete. D. The breakthrough in repairing ancient Roman architecture. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了科学家研究了世界上一些古代建筑屹立上千年而不倒的原因。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Ancient builders across the world created structures that are still standing today, thousands of years later. (世界各地的古代建设者创造了数千年后仍然屹立不倒的建筑。)”和“But there are many recent structures that are already starting to fail. The concrete that makes up much of our modern world lasts around 50 to 100 years. (但有许多最近的建筑已经开始倒塌。构成我们现代世界大部分的混凝土可以使用大约50到100年。)”可知，第一段对比了古代建筑和现代建筑的持久性，古代建筑能够屹立上千年，而现代建筑则只能持续50到100年，接着第二段前两句“A growing number of scientists have been studying materials from long ago. They are breaking apart pieces of buildings and reading historical texts hoping to learn how they have stood for thousands of years. (越来越多的科学家一直在研究很久以前的材料。他们正在拆开建筑碎片，阅读历史文献，希望了解它们是如何屹立数千年的。)”讲述了科学家研究为什么古代建筑能够持久。由此可推测出，第一段进行对比是为了引出接下来的话题。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The research has turned up a surprising list of materials that were mixed into old buildings. They include tree bark, volcanic ash, rice, beer and even urine (尿液). (这项研究发现了一份令人惊讶的旧建筑材料清单。它们包括树皮、火山灰、大米、啤酒甚至尿液。)”可知，科学家们发现了旧建筑材料中令人惊讶的成分。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Figuring out how to copy these features could have real impacts today. While our modern concrete has the strength to hold up very tall skyscrapers (摩天大楼) and heavy infrastructure (基础结构), it cannot compete with the endurance of these ancient materials. With the rising threats of climate change, there is a growing call to make construction more sustainable. A recent UN report estimates that the built environment is responsible for more than a third of carbon dioxide emissions worldwide. Cement (水泥) production alone makes up more than 7 percent of those emissions.(弄清楚如何复制这些特征可能会对今天产生真正的影响。虽然我们的现代混凝土的强度可以支撑非常高的摩天大楼和重型基础设施，但它无法与这些古老材料的耐久性竞争。随着气候变化的威胁日益加剧，越来越多的人呼吁提高建筑的可持续性。联合国最近的一份报告估计，建筑环境占全球二氧化碳排放量的三分之一以上。仅水泥生产就占这些排放的7%以上。)”可知，研究古代建筑材料的影响有助于减少温室气体。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，根据文中的“structures”“materials”“modern concrete”“Roman concrete”等关键词和最后一段中的“Now, scientists think they have found an important reason why some Roman concrete has held up structures for thousands of years.(现在，科学家们认为他们已经找到了一些罗马混凝土支撑结构数千年的重要原因。)”可知，本文主要围绕古代建筑持久的原因展开，讲述了古代和现代建筑的持久性和建筑材料，由此可推测出，文章的目的是揭示古老的古罗马建筑的秘密。故选B。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Speak in Public Many people have a fear of public speaking. They worry that they will lose their words，bore the audience or somehow make a fool of themselves. It is easy to try to avoid public speaking，but that usually doesn't work out.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者和儿子在院子里除草时的一段经历，儿子的一句提醒使得作者意识到每一个人做事的方式不同，自己的做事方式不一定是最好的。 【21题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这肯定会让人放松。A. relaxing令人放松的；B. disturbing令人不安的；C. urgent紧急的；D. tough艰难的。根据上文中的“My husband was taking care of our baby girl so that my six-year-old son and I could do some yard work, just the two of us.”可知，丈夫照顾着小女儿，只有六岁的儿子与作者一起在院子了工作，所以作者一开始认为，两人干活是“令人放松的”。故选A项。 【22题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：但很快，成群的蚊子似乎对我们的杀虫剂产生了抗药性。A. sensitive敏感的；B. resistant有抵抗力的；C. harmful有害的；D. addicted沉迷的。根据上文中的“But soon, the clouds of mosquitos”可知，蚊子成群出现说明对杀虫剂有抗药性了，所以此处应为“有抵抗力的”符合语境。故选B项。 【23题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我告诉过他“正确”的方法——把那些杂草从底部连根拔起，把它们全部清除。A. removing清除；B. packing收拾；C. covering覆盖；D. preserving保护。根据上文中的“I had told him the “right” way — getting those weeds out from the bottom, by the roots”可知，作者教给儿子把那些杂草从底部连根拔起，由此可知，此处指的是“清除”符合语境。故选A项。 【24题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：他拔掉了杂草的顶端，沿着一排快速前进，剩下的部分仍然留在土壤里。A. roots根；B. fibres纤维；C. tops顶端；D. points点。根据下文中的“as he left the remaining part still in the soil.”可知，剩下的部分在土壤里，说明只拔掉了草长出来的“顶端”部分。故选C项。 【25题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：不知何故，我发现这非常令人讨厌。A. amazing惊人的；B. boring无聊的；C. annoying令人讨厌的；D. confusing令人困惑的。根据下文中的“Why couldn’t he do it in my way and save me the time of having to ___6___ his portion (部分)?”可知，作者疑问为什么不能按照她的方式去做，由此可推断，作者讨厌这种做法，所以此处应为“令人讨厌的”符合语境。故选C项。 【26题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：为什么他不能按我的方式来做，这样我就不用重做他的那部分了？A. recycle回收利用；B. redo重做；C. identify识别；D. ignore忽视。根据上文中的“He pulled the ___4___ of the weeds off, moving quickly down the line as he left the remaining part still in the soil.”可知，儿子没有把草清理干净，所以作者不得不“重做”符合语境。故选B项。 【27题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：“如果你照我说的做，我们就能早点完工，而且保证在下次我们回来除草之前有更长的一段时间，”我说，尽量让自己的语气轻松一些。A. clarified澄清；B. launched启动；C. repeated重复；D. promised承诺，保证。根据常识和下文中的“a longer period before we would have to return and pull weeds next time”可知，把草连根拔起，这样就可以保证草一段时间长不出来，也就是作者向儿子说明，按照她的做法可以“保证”在下次我们回来除草之前，她们可以有更长的时间。故选D项。 【28题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：“如果你照我说的做，我们就能早点完工，而且保证在下次我们回来除草之前有更长的一段时间，”我说，尽量让自己的语气轻柔一些。A. nervous紧张的；B. mysterious神秘的；C. light轻柔的；D. loud大声的。根据语境和上文中的“I said, trying to keep my tone”以及上文作者说的话可知，作者为了不伤害儿子的积极性，尽量语气“轻柔”。故选C项。 【29题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：他继续干他的活，抖了抖他那一把正在生长的东西上的泥土，把折断的茎扔进我们共用的篮子里。A. long长的；B. broken折断的；C. dry干的；D. useful有用的。根据上文中的“He pulled the ___4___ of the weeds off, moving quickly down the line as he left the remaining part still in the soil.”可知，他拔掉了杂草的顶端，沿着线快速移动，剩下的部分仍然留在土壤里，所以此处指的是他把“折断的”茎扔进共用的篮子里。故选B项。 【30题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：“人们做事的方式不同，妈妈。”他无辜地说。A. differently不同地；B. separately单独地；C. hurriedly匆忙地；D. honestly诚实地。根据下文中的“he said innocently.”以及“But my way was, perhaps, not the best way after all.”可知，儿子很无辜地跟作者说话，作者意识到自己的方式未必是最好的，由此可知，儿子说的是每个人做事的方式是“不同的”符合语境。故选A项。 【31题详解】 查形容词词义辨析。句意：我的怒火很快就消退了，取而代之的是一种谦卑的意识：我刚刚从我应该教的人那里收到了一个有价值的提醒。A. satisfying令人满意的；B. corresponding相应的；C. depressing令人沮丧的；D. humbling谦卑的。根据下文中的“that I’d just received a valuable ___12___ from the person that I was supposed to be teaching.”可知，作者从儿子那里学到了人生道理，所以是“谦卑的”意识到。故选D项。 【32题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我的怒火很快就消退了，取而代之的是一种谦卑的意识：我刚刚从我应该教的人那里收到了一个有价值的提醒。A. behavior行为；B. warning警告；C. reminder提醒物；D. review复习。根据上文中的““People do things ___10___ , Mom,” he said innocently.”以及“My fire soon faded, replaced by the ___11___ realization”可知，此处指儿子的话让作者意识到了一件事情，所以此处应为作者收到了一条有价值的“提醒”符合语境。故选C项。 【33题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：当我试图平衡我的小女儿、我的幼儿园孩子和院子里的工作时，效率对我来说是一条生命线。A. raise筹集；B. land着陆；C. teach教；D. balance平衡。根据下文中的“my baby girl, my kindergartener, and the yard work, ____14____ was a lifeline for me.”可知，这是作者的生命线，所以此处指的是作者试图在女儿，幼儿园和院子里的工作之间保持一种“平衡”符合语境。故选D项。 【34题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：当我试图平衡我的小女儿、我的幼儿园孩子和院子里的工作时，效率对我来说是一条生命线。A. efficiency效率；B. concentration集中；C. discipline纪律；D. quality质量。根据上文中的“If you do as told, we’d be done earlier and ___7___ a longer period before we would have to return and pull weeds next time”可知，作者认为拔草连根除掉，这样就可以很长时间后再回来除草，由此可知，作者看重的是除草的“效率”符合语境。故选A项。 【35题详解】 考查动词短语词义辨析。句意：他的时间不应该被限制。A. run out of用完；B. set limits to限制；C. made up for弥补；D. kept pace with跟上。根据下文中的“His job was to be a kid and take his time, for as long as he was able.”可知，儿子的工作就是做个孩子，在力所能及的范围内慢慢来，由此可知，作者意识到儿子的时间不应该被“限制”符合语境。故选B项。 第二节 (共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面材料，在题后空白处填入适当的内容(每空一词)或括号内单词的正确形式。 According to a report by South China Morning Post, China is planning to launch a hyperloop (超级高铁), also known ____36____ a super-high speed pipeline maglev system by 2035.

He dreamed of becoming a city champion of the annual Teenager Windsurfing Race. To achieve it, he barely missed a single game or practice whatever the weather. After months of intense training, the big day finally arrived! The beach was crowded with the excited audience, including reporters and photographers. The speaker system was announcing the names of the windsurfers, calling them to get ready for the race. And there was David, in a line with other windsurfers, all of them moving nervously up and down on the waves behind an imaginary starting line. They were all fighting for the best position to start and were tense as a result, ignoring the vast sea they were on. The moment the starter’s signal sounded, David was off, so natural and quick. He pulled hard at his sail to race just ahead of the group. As he picked up speed, gliding (滑行) over the waves, he felt the familiar joy and freedom that windsurfing always gave him. What he loved was simply being out at sea. He could hardly stop himself from shouting out in excitement, rushing to the finishing line for the first. “Go! David!” The wind carried over a familiar voice. He looked around and spotted his elder sister Jessica on her speedboat upwind of him cheering for him. She waved at David and he nodded his head in acknowledgement, even though he knew she was too far away to see him. Just as he turned away, however, out of the comer of his eye, he saw smoke behind the speedboat, on the shore. Knowing that the smoke could tell him the direction the wind was blowing, he decided to study it for a moment out of habit. Just as he was getting a better sense of how to use the wind to his advantage, he saw it. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Not just the smoke but a big fire! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The other windsurfers were far ahead of him at that time. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Not just the smoke but a big fire! David couldn’t believe his eyes. It occurred to him that it was from a restaurant where he once did a part-time job and that all the staff might be among the audience. He looked back at the beach, where all of the audience were too attentive to the race to be conscious of the fire. It was then that he made a resolution to turn around, passing by the other windsurfers and racing towards the shore, rather than the finishing line. The other windsurfers were far ahead of him at that time. Apparently, this promising teenager had withdrawn the Race. Many confused people who noticed his strange behavior also spotted the shocking smoke and fire on the shore. The teenager rushed towards the fire, followed by many adults, including the staff. More hands made light work. They put out the fire before it was too late, minimizing the losses. Due to his contribution, the organizing committee awarded David the sportsmanship Award. All the audience applauded him for his acceptance speech: “I don’t regret losing the chance of becoming a champion to help others.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了风帆冲浪运动员大卫参加城市青少年帆板比赛，比赛开始时他一路领先，途中听见姐姐杰西卡在他逆风处的快艇上为他加油时，大卫发现快艇后面的岸边某处着火了，尽管大卫原本有望成为这次比赛的冠军，他依旧转身向海岸而来，观众中也有人因他而发现了火情，他们共同成功灭火。他的行为感动了在场所有人。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“不仅是烟，还有大火！”可知，第一段可描写大卫看到岸边着火后的所想所为。 ②由第二段首句内容“那时候，其他帆板运动员远远领先于他。”可知，第二段可描写大卫放弃了比赛，回到岸上，和其他人共同扑灭了大火。组委会因此授予他体育精神奖，在场所有人为大卫的言行感动。 2.续写线索：发现火灾——退出比赛——回到岸上——同观众一起灭火——得到众人的肯定 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.下决心：make a resolution / resolve ②.冲向：race towards… / rush towards… ③.注意到：notice / spot 情绪类 ①.困惑的：confused / puzzled ②.惋惜：regret / feel pitiful for 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B At the end of 2019,I learned that Here After AI, whose goal is to let the living communicate with the dead, was looking for applicants of its new AI project. Interested in what it was promising, I applied to experiment the software on my very-much-alive parents. At first, I thought it would be just a fun project to see what was technologically possible. Then their health condition added some urgency to the experiment. I was frightened that my parents might die since my father had been diagnosed with cancer and my mother was recently developing symptoms of early Alzheimer’s disease, and that with the distance between us, I might never have the chance to say goodbye. The first step was an interview. My parents were asked questions by a techician for hours-about everything from their earliest memories to what they believe will happen after they die. Whether through illness-generated concerns or a willingness to humor their daughter, my parents put up zero resistance. The company then took their responses and started to create the voice assistants. A few months later, my virtual parents arrived via email attachment. When I communicated with them through the app on my phone, my hands were shaking. I hadn’t seen my actual, real parents for six months. They told me personal stories I’d never heard. They gave me life advice and told me things about their childhoods, as well as my own. It was mesmerizing. Personally, I have mixed feelings about my experiment. I’m glad to have my virtual parents. They’ve enabled me to learn new things about my parents, and it’s comforting to think that those softwares will be there even when my parents aren’t. On the other hand, I can’t help but find it sad that it took a stranger interviewing my parents for me to properly appreciate the complex people they are. But I feel lucky to have had the chance to grasp that-and to still have the precious opportunity to spend more time with them and learn more about them, face to face, no technology involved. 4. Why did the author initially join the AI project? A. To test out the new technology. B To preserve her parents’ voice. C. To learn more about her parents’ life. D. To remove the worry about her parents’ health. 5. What can we learn about the author’s parents? A. They liked talking a lot. B. They died from the illnesses. C. They opposed joining the project at first. D. They provided data for the project. 6. What does the underlined word “mesmerizing" mean in paragraph 4? A. Alarming. B. Fascinating. C. Inspiring. D. Disgusting. 7. What does the author realize at last? A. AI means never saying goodbye to our parents. B. The advances in AI technology have pros and cons. C. The real connection with our parents matters most. D. AI allows us to learn more about our virtual parents. C Adults who continuously played organized sports through their youth have fewer symptoms of anxiety and depression than those who never played or those who dropped out, a new study finds. “And those who dropped out of sports had poorer mental health than those who never played at all. But many more people drop out of youth sports than play continuously until they are 18.” said Chris Knoester, professor of sociology at The Ohio State University. “If you play and stick with sports, it’s a positive for your mental health, but if you play and drop out it seems to be negative — and most kids drop out,” Knoester said. The study showed that most people dropped out of sports because they weren’t having fun or felt they weren’t good enough. “That suggests ways youth sports can be improved to help kids,” said study lead author Laura Upenieks. “Our findings about why kids drop out of organized sports suggest that the current environment is less than ideal for everyone, and that the barriers to participation need to be given greater attention,” Upenieks said. “It is easy to see why sports can be good for those who are able to continue with it to adulthood,” Upenieks said. “The longer that youth are exposed to a positive and encouraging sporting environment, the more likely they are to develop habits that are conducive to longterm mental well-being, such as a commitment to regular exercise and collaborating with others as part of a team. The fact that so many kids quit shows that organized sports often don’t provide a positive environment. But there are steps adults can take to improve that environment. For one, sports should be safe for kids. The researchers said the fact that 8% said they were abused by coaches is particularly alarming. “And the finding that nearly half of kids quit because they weren’t having fun and about a third dropped out because they felt they weren’t good enough should also be a wake-up call,” Knoester said. “We need to improve youth sports so that it supports positive experiences for everyone and makes it more enjoyable,” he said. 8 What can we say about dropping out of sports? A. It has no impact on physical health. B. It’s beneficial to mental health. C. It keeps players playing into adulthood. D. It is worse for mental health than never playing. 9. What is one of the main reasons for kids dropping out of sports? A. They don’t get joy from exercise. B. They prefer individual activities. C. They are not physically fit enough. D. They are not academically related. 10. What is key to improving the youth sports environment? A. Reducing the number of coaches. B. Adding fun to youth sports. C. Changing the rules of sports. D. Providing more training partners. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. The Reason Why Kids Quit Sports B. The Benefits and Drawbacks of Playing Youth Sports C. The Impact of Youth Sports on Long-Term Mental Health D. Challenges and Solutions for Improving Youth Sports Programs D Ancient builders across the world created structures that are still standing today, thousands of years later. Roman engineers built thick concrete sea barriers, for example. And Chinese builders raised walls against invaders. But there are many recent structures that are already starting to fail. The concrete that makes up much of our modern world lasts around 50 to 100 years. A growing number of scientists have been studying materials from long ago. They are breaking apart pieces of buildings and reading historical texts hoping to learn how they have stood for thousands of years. The research has turned up a surprising list of materials that were mixed into old buildings. They include tree bark, volcanic ash, rice, beer and even urine (尿液). These unexpected materials could have the ability to get stronger over time and “heal” cracks when they form. Figuring out how to copy these features could have real impacts today. While our modern concrete has the strength to hold up very tall skyscrapers (摩天大楼) and heavy infrastructure (基础结构), it cannot compete with the endurance of these ancient materials. With the rising threats of climate change, there is a growing call to make construction more sustainable. A recent UN report estimates that the built environment is responsible for more than a third of carbon dioxide emissions worldwide. Cement (水泥) production alone makes up more than 7 percent of those emissions. Is ancient Roman concrete better? In places where seawater has been hitting structures for ages, you will find concrete “basically the way it was when it was poured 2,000 years ago,” said John Oleson, an archaeologist at the University of Victoria in Canada. Most modern concrete starts with Portland cement, a powder made by heating limestone (石灰岩) and clay to super-high temperatures and breaking them up. That cement is mixed with water to create a paste. Then, materials like rock and gravel are added. Records from ancient builders show the Roman process was similar. The ancient builders mixed materials like burnt limestone and volcanic sand with water and rocks, creating chemical reactions to tie everything together. Now, scientists think they have found an important reason why some Roman concrete has held up structures for thousands of years. The ancient material has an unusual power to repair itself. Exactly how is not yet clear, so scientists are starting to find reasons why. 12. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By making a comparison. B. By using a metaphor. C. By listing statistics. D. By telling stories. 13. Which aspect of ancient Roman building materials surprises scientists? A. Their high-end technology. B. Their processing procedure. C. Their amazing flexibility. D. Their necessary ingredients. 14. Which might be the impact of studying ancient building materials? A. Reducing the greenhouse effects. B. Innovating the construction process. C. Increasing the mass production of cement. D. Removing the threats of the climate change. 15. What does the author intend to tell us? A. The urgency of tackling the environmental crisis. B. The secrets of long-standing ancient Roman buildings. C. The similarities between modern and Roman concrete. D. The breakthrough in repairing ancient Roman architecture. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Speak in Public Many people have a fear of public speaking.

He dreamed of becoming a city champion of the annual Teenager Windsurfing Race. To achieve it, he barely missed a single game or practice whatever the weather. After months of intense training, the big day finally arrived! The beach was crowded with the excited audience, including reporters and photographers. The speaker system was announcing the names of the windsurfers, calling them to get ready for the race. And there was David, in a line with other windsurfers, all of them moving nervously up and down on the waves behind an imaginary starting line. They were all fighting for the best position to start and were tense as a result, ignoring the vast sea they were on. The moment the starter’s signal sounded, David was off, so natural and quick. He pulled hard at his sail to race just ahead of the group. As he picked up speed, gliding (滑行) over the waves, he felt the familiar joy and freedom that windsurfing always gave him. What he loved was simply being out at sea. He could hardly stop himself from shouting out in excitement, rushing to the finishing line for the first. “Go! David!” The wind carried over a familiar voice. He looked around and spotted his elder sister Jessica on her speedboat upwind of him cheering for him. She waved at David and he nodded his head in acknowledgement, even though he knew she was too far away to see him. Just as he turned away, however, out of the comer of his eye, he saw smoke behind the speedboat, on the shore. Knowing that the smoke could tell him the direction the wind was blowing, he decided to study it for a moment out of habit. Just as he was getting a better sense of how to use the wind to his advantage, he saw it. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Not just the smoke but a big fire! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The other windsurfers were far ahead of him at that time. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
