Many people love running early in the morning. Why? Actually it has many benefits. Not only will you begin a day more relaxed, but also you’ve already had a sense of achievement. If you’re also eager to enjoy the benefits of a morning run, try these. First, getting ready for a painful start. To many people, getting up early in the morning can be a great pain, especially in cold winter days. So early to bed, early to rise, and make it a habit. Of equal importance is to keep an open mind. Even if you’ve made enough preparation and determination, there are still times, when you want to quit. My advice is to accept the setback and instead of giving up, keep going. Another helpful way is to find someone to be together with you. This can make things more interesting. He or she not only gives you company, but also serves as a monitor. 第二部分 阅读(共两节, 满分50分) 第一节(共15小题:每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Costa Rica is full of unique animals found nowhere else on Earth.

My adrenaline (肾上腺素) kicked in as I told myself, “This is my comeback.” Prior to giving birth to a baby, I had been a runner since my 20s. Running made me feel free and it brought me a sense of peace I couldn’t find anywhere else. The harder my feet worked, the more I relaxed. Now, as a new mom in my late 30s, I was picking running back up to prove to myself I was still the old me. However, it was not easy. My legs were weak as I shuffled (拖着脚走) down the track. I felt defeated. The old me had never felt so far away. Running felt like a burden, and the joy was far away from me. Even worse, I felt like a living dead at home. My son wasn’t sleeping through the night, which was exhausting all my extra energy. However, I kept going. I went out for a run again and again. A few times a week, I pulled on my shoes and slowly, my one mile route turned into a 5kilometer. Gone were the debates in my head over whether I was a good mom and whether my house would ever be clean again. Running just let me be. I had signed up for the half marathon I ran annually before my son was born as a motivation. When I began running the marathon route felt so long, but then suddenly, it was over. When I crossed the finish line, I felt like a champion wearing my participant’s medal. My finish time was just a number; what mattered more to me was the journey. Through my running experience, I have realized that nothing is impossible to a willing heart, not only running, but also anything else. 24. Why did the author run in her twenties? A. To enjoy some alone time. B. To maintain a good figure. C. To keep physical health. D. To pursue inner peace. 25. Which of the following words can best describe the author? A. Proud. B. Determined. C. Outgoing. D. Modest. 26. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph? A. The author occasionally joined in the marathon before. B. Half marathon seemed longer than expected all the way. C. What is worth doing well is to achieve high scores. D. What the author can gain during the process matters most. 27. What message does the article convey to readers? A. Where there is a will, there is a way. B. A good beginning is half success. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Time lost cannot be regained. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了刚刚生产完的妈妈意志坚定地参加马拉松的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Running made me feel free and it brought me a sense of peace I couldn’t find anywhere else. The harder my feet worked, the more I relaxed.(跑步让我感到自由，带给我一种在其他地方找不到的平静感。我的脚越用力，我就越放松)”可知，作者跑步的原因是追求内心的平静，故选D项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“However, I kept going. I went out for a run again and again. A few times a week, I pulled on my shoes and slowly, my one mile route turned into a 5kilometer.(然而，我继续前进。我一次又一次地出去跑步。一周几次，我穿上鞋子，慢慢地，我的一英里路线变成了五公里)”可知，作者是意志坚定的。故选B项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“My finish time was just a number; what mattered more to me was the journey.( 我的完成时间只是一个数字；对我来说更重要的是旅程)”可知，对作者而言在跑步过程中所获得的是最重要的。故选D项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Through my running experience, I have realized that nothing is impossible to a willing heart, not only running, but also anything else.(通过我的跑步经历，我意识到，对于一颗愿意的心，没有什么是不可能的，不仅是跑步，还有其他任何事情)”可知，本文给我们的人生启发是“有志者，事竟成”。故选A项。 C The Last Generation is an activist group in Germany, the name implying that our unsustainability will push us to extinction. To force their government into action, some of the group went on a month-long hunger strike in August 2021. It wasn’t a half-hearted effort: several ended up in hospital. But I’d like to take the opposite framing. I think we have the opportunity to be the first generation that leaves the environment in a better state. There are two kinds of optimism: complacent optimism and conditional optimism. Complacent optimism is the feeling of a child waiting for presents. Conditional optimism is the feeling of a child who is thinking about building a tree house, “If I get some wood and nails and persuade some other kids to help do the work, we can end up with something really cool.” The group actually did take bold action, yet I want to address the climate crisis from a different angle. Yes, my framing seems hard to believe. I’ll explain why. Here I’m using the term “generation” loosely. I am from a generation that will be defined by our environmental problems. I was a child when climate change really began. I will see countries move from being almost entirely dependent on fossil fuels to being free of them. I will be 57 when governments hit the “2050 deadline” of reaching net-zero carbon emissions that so many have promised. But, of course, there will be several generations involved in this project. There are a couple above me and a couple below me. And we all need to work together to achieve that. For a conditional optimist, criticism is essential. We need to work through ideas to find the most promising ones. Most innovators have been optimists. But they were also strongly critical: no one would pick apart the ideas of Thomas Edison or Marie Curie more than they did themselves. Don’t look away from the climate crisis that faces us. Let’s face up to it, not from a place of “damage control” but with a clear vision of the future we can build: one that not only stops warming in its tracks but builds a better world for us, all of us, and the species hat we share the planet with. 28. Why is The Last Generation introduced? A. To blame them for their action. B. To remind Germany of its duties. C. To discuss the author’s perspective. D. To demand urgent action from everyone. 29. What is the core of complacent optimism? A. Belief in kindness. B. Passive expectation. C. Brief satisfaction. D. Love of presents. 30. What does the underlined phrase “pick apart” in paragraph 6 mean? A. Turn to. B. Identify with. C. Find fault with. D. Make an assessment of. 31. What does the author intend the readers to do? A. Envision and engage. B. Adapt and advance. C. Inspire and innovate. D. Explore and expand. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是作者呼吁几代人共同努力去阻止气候变暖的趋势，而且为我们、我们所有人以及与我们共享这个星球的物种建立一个更美好的世界。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段中的“The Last Generation is an activist group in Germany, the name implying that our unsustainability will push us to extinction. To force their government into action, some of the group went on a month-long hunger strike in August 2021.(“最后一代”是德国的一个激进组织，这个名字暗示着我们的不可持续性将把我们推向灭绝。为了迫使政府采取行动，该组织的一些人在2021年8月进行了为期一个月的绝食抗议)”可知，此处介绍的是“最后一代”应自己的激进行动，迫使政府采取行动解决气候变暖的问题，结合第二段中的“But I’d like to take the opposite framing.(但我想采取相反的框架)”可知，作者想要采取相反的框架解决问题，由此可知，作者提到“最后一代”是为了讨论作者的观点和看法。故选C项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Complacent optimism is the feeling of a child waiting for presents.(自满的乐观是孩子等待礼物的感觉)”可知，自满的乐观是孩子等待礼物的感觉，由此可知，自满的乐观应该是一种被动的期待。故选B项。 【30题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线短语前的“Most innovators have been optimists. But they were also strongly critical(大多数创新者都是乐观主义者。但他们也非常挑剔)”可知，作者认为创新者都是乐观主义者，但也非常的挑剔，结合划线短语所在的句子“no one would … the ideas of Thomas Edison or Marie Curie more than they did themselves.(没有人会比他们自己更……托马斯·爱迪生或玛丽·居里的思想)”可知，此处指的是这些创新者因该是非常挑剔托马斯·爱迪生或玛丽·居里的思想，所以画线短语的意思与“挑剔”意义相近。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段中的“Let’s face up to it, not from a place of “damage control” but with a clear vision of the future we can build: one that not only stops warming in its tracks but builds a better world for us, all of us, and the species hat we share the planet with.(让我们正视这个问题，不是站在“损害控制”的立场上，而是对我们可以建设的未来有一个清晰的愿景：一个不仅可以阻止变暖的趋势，而且可以为我们、我们所有人以及与我们共享这个星球的物种建立一个更美好的世界)”可知，作者呼吁大家正是这个问题，对我们可以建设的未来有一个清晰的愿景，由此可知，作者希望读者能够设想并参与其中。故选A项。 D Walk any direction in Las Vegas and it’s easy to find machines doing human work. Robots can serve food, and behind the bar, machines are pouring out drinks. Not only are lower-wage jobs replaced by robots, but technology like ChatGPT, which is a form of generative AI, will affect white collar jobs, too, in fields like accounting and data entry. In some cases, AI will help make workers more productive, while other roles might be removed entirely. AI is also likely to create brand new jobs that don’t even exist yet. “Wherever the resort industry can replace their workers and not affect productivity, profits or the customer experience-wherever they can do that with artificial intelligence-they will. We need to move to those occupations that are more highly skilled, that are not easily replaced by AI and that provide a greater level of balance so we’re not so hard-hit,” said John Restrepo, principal at RCG Economics in Las Vegas. Las Vegas city officials are starting to prepare workers for that shift now. At the panel (专家组) hosted by the local Chamber of Commerce, Tony Yee, who owns a small company in the city, said he wanted to learn how to use AI to help him with tasks like dealing with customer evaluations. “AI is the next frontier. It’s just like how people didn’t believe in the Internet in the 90s. This is the next revolution, and if you’re not on board, you’re going to be left behind. And I don’t want to be left behind,” Yee said. There is another person, Sabrina Bergman, who works at the Tipsy Robot, a bar inside Planet Hollywood in the Las Vegas. Her job is to help the robot do its job, tending bar. When the robot accidentally tips over a cup, she resets it. If the robot doesn’t pour a full drink, she tops it off. Bergman said she was not worried about being unemployed-even the bar just opened a second location earlier this year. 32. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The benefits AI brings to various businesses. B. The fields where machines make a big difference. C. The impact AI produces on different occupations. D. The technological progress on the jobs front. 33. What do Restrepo’s remarks imply? A. Humans would be hard-hit without AI. B. Humans need to improve to live with AI. C. Highly skilled occupations must be supported by AI. D. Service industry should take customer experience seriously. 34. What is Tony Yee’s attitude towards AI? A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Negative. D. Uninterested. 35. Why is Bergman unworried about being out of work? A. She has set up a new bar. B. Robots don’t replace humans entirely. C. Businesses can’t afford enough robots. D. Other workers are behind her in work. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了人工智能对就业的影响。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Not only are lower-wage jobs replaced by robots, but technology like ChatGPT, which is a form of generative AI, will affect white collar jobs, too, in fields like accounting and data entry. In some cases, AI will help make workers more productive, while other roles might be removed entirely. AI is also likely to create brand new jobs that don’t even exist yet.(不仅低薪工作被机器人取代，ChatGPT（一种生成式人工智能）等技术也将影响会计和数据录入等领域的白领工作。在某些情况下，人工智能将有助于提高工人的工作效率，而其他角色可能会被完全移除。人工智能还可能创造出目前还不存在的全新工作岗位)”可知，本段主要讲述人工智能对不同职业的影响。故选C项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“We need to move to those occupations that are more highly skilled, that are not easily replaced by AI and that provide a greater level of balance so we’re not so hard-hit(我们需要转向那些技能更高职业，那些不容易被人工智能取代的职业，那些提供更高水平的平衡的职业，这样我们就不会受到太大的打击)”可推知，人类需要改进自己，以确保与人工智能共存。故选B项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Tony Yee, who owns a small company in the city, said he wanted to learn how to use AI to help him with tasks like dealing with customer evaluations.(在香港拥有一家小公司的Tony Yee说，他想学习如何使用人工智能来帮助他完成处理客户评估等任务)”和“AI is the next frontier. It’s just like how people didn’t believe in the Internet in the 90s. This is the next revolution, and if you’re not on board, you’re going to be left behind. And I don’t want to be left behind(人工智能是下一个前沿领域。这就像90年代人们不相信互联网一样。这是下一场革命，如果你不参与，你就会被抛在后面。我不想被抛在后面)”可推知，Tony Yee对待人工智能的态度是支持的。故选A项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Her job is to help the robot do its job, tending bar. When the robot accidentally tips over a cup, she resets it. If the robot doesn’t pour a full drink, she tops it off. Bergman said she was not worried about being unemployed-even the bar just opened a second location earlier this year.(她的工作是帮助机器人做它的工作，照顾酒吧。当机器人不小心打翻杯子时，她会重置杯子。如果机器人没有倒满，她就会把它加满。伯格曼说，她并不担心失业——甚至这家酒吧今年早些时候刚刚开了第二家店)”可推知，机器人并未完全取代人类使得Bergman 不担心她会失业。故选B项。 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。 Anyone with a story to tell can write a book, either for their own enjoyment or to publish for all to see.

Also, make sure that the place you choose works with your preferred writing medium.(没有一个理想的工作空间适合每个作家。有些人喜欢安静的房间，而另一些人最好在咖啡馆工作。此外，确保你选择的地方适合你喜欢的写作媒介。)”可知，这里讲述的应是如何选择合适的写作场所，B项“Choose a workspace that works for you(选择一个适合你的工作场所)”符合题意。故选B。 【38题详解】 根据前文“If you want to write on a desktop, make sure to have a suitable desk nearby.(如果你想在桌面上写字，一定要在附近有一张合适的桌子。)”和后文“That’s because it’s easy to lose focus if your back aches.(这是因为如果你的背部疼痛，很容易失去注意力。)”可知，上文讲述了要选择桌子，下文讲述了背痛会让你失去注意力，由此可知，空处应补充讲述如何选择让背部舒适的座椅，G项“At the same time, remember to pick a supportive chair(同时，记得选择一把支撑椅)”符合题意。故选G。 【39题详解】 根据本段首句“Establish daily and weekly writing goals.(设定每日及每周的写作目标。)”和空前“Set your writing goal based on your writing speed and any specific deadlines.(根据你的写作速度和任何特定的截止日期设定你的写作目标。)”可知，空处应总结前文，讲述设置完目标后就不要轻易更改，D项“And try not to change it after you’ve set it(设置后尽量不要更改它)”符合题意。故选D。 【40题详解】 根据前文“It is likely that you’ll go through many rounds of feedback and revisions before your book is published.(在你的书出版之前，你很可能会经历多轮的反馈和修订。)”和空后的“it’s all part of the process of writing the best book you can!(这是你尽力写最好的书的过程的一部分！)”可知，在出书之前会有多次反馈和修订，这是打磨作品必经之路，所以空处应是说在这种情况下不要泄气，A项“Don’t get discouraged(不要气馁)”符合题意。故选A。 第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分45分) 第一节(共20小题:每小题1.5分，满分30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 decided at 10 that I was going to be a teacher because I had a burning desire for superpowers.

Without support from the local government, he wouldn’t have been able to gain knowledge with us. Wilson always kept a low profile despite his shiny academic performances and basketball skills. In a class meeting, our head teacher, Lily, told us to share our ideal jobs on stage. When it was Wilson’s turn to share, all of us fixed our eyes on what he was going to express. He had never talked about his dream with anyone of us. Contrary to my assumption that he wanted to become a scientist, he said, “I desire to become a professional basketball player, but I don’t know whether it’s possible for me. I just have no money to realize this demanding dream.” Lily, who was experienced in inspiring students, persuaded Wilson to persist in enhancing his basketball skills in spare time. She also noted that every dream deserved respecting. Three months later, Wilson’s birthday came. Our monitor, Diana, put forward an idea that all of the classmates prepared a gift for him together. Without hesitation, we were totally for the idea. However, no one knew what kinds of gifts Wilson loved. It seemed a headache for us to pick out a suitable gift. Suddenly, Diana broke the silence, saying, “Maybe we can consider Wilson’s dream — basketball. Selecting something about playing basketball will cheer him up.” We all nodded. With our tasks assigned, we set out to make preparations for Wilson’s birthday, ranging from decorating settings, raising money, to buying a birthday cake. That day finally came after five days. We planned to give Wilson a big surprise. Therefore, we just informed him that the P. E. teacher was waiting for him on the basketball court. Undoubtedly, he ran to the basketball court. Meanwhile, the whole class were expecting his arrival, hoping to witness the surprise with him. Soon, Wilson entered the basketball court, unaware of what would happen next. “Happy birthday!” we screamed excitedly. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Diana led Wilson to see the birthday cake, which reminded him of his dream. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Moved by our warmth and special gift, Wilson extended his thanks to us. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Diana led Wilson to see the birthday cake, which reminded him of his dream. “Wilson, we have no idea of what your beloved gift might be. Thus, we eventually reached an agreement that a birthday cake was something that would allow us to share the joy with you,” said Diana. The image on the cake caught his attention, which was composed of a boy, a basketball and a net. It conveyed the message that the boy was redoubling his efforts to throw the basketball into the net. Moved by our warmth and special gift, Wilson extended his thanks to us. “Thanks for your thoughtful arrangement. This scene will linger vividly in my mind permanently,” said Wilson. One of the classmates persuaded Wilson to light up the candles and make a wish. He plucked up his courage to express his wish of becoming a professional basketball player. Applause coming flooding in, we were delighted that he was determined to stick to his dream. Feeling over the moon, we cut the cake and enjoyed the greasy yet delectable cream together. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了上中学的时候作者的同学Wilson家里经济困难，所以尽管他篮球出色，但也一直很低调。一次班会，班主任让分享自己的理想，Wilson说出了自己的梦想是成为职业篮球队员，但是怕因为经济困难无法实现。同学Lily说服Wilson在业余时间坚持练习打篮球。Wilson的生日快要到了，班长提出要送给Wilson一件礼物，大家都赞成并且积极的配合为Wilson准备了一个特别的蛋糕并且打算给Wilson一个惊喜。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“戴安娜带Wilson去看生日蛋糕，这使他想起了他的梦想。”可知，第一段可描写Wilson看到关于他篮球梦想的蛋糕的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“Wilson被我们的热情和特殊的礼物感动了，他向我们表示了感谢。”可知，第二段可描写Wilson向大家表示感谢并许愿要坚持梦想的过程。 2.续写线索：Wilson看到蛋糕——感动并感谢大家——许愿坚持篮球梦想——大家一起吃蛋糕 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①传递：convey/transmit ③许愿：make a wish /make a vow 情绪类 ①感谢：showing one’s appreciation/show one’s gratitude/thanks for ②高兴的：delighted /happy/glad 【点睛】[高分句型1]Thus, we eventually reached an agreement that a birthday cake was something that would allow us to share the joy with you.（由第一个that连接的同位语从句和第二个that引导的限制性定语从句） [高分句型2]It conveyed the message that the boy was redoubling his efforts to throw the basketball into the net. （由连接词that连接的同位语从句） [高分句型3]Applause coming flooding in, we were delighted that he was determined to stick to his dream.（运用了独立主格和that连接的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 2024-2025学年度第一学期期末测试英语试卷 (考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分) 注意事项: 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上， 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮 擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号，回答非选择题时，将答案写在题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上，录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What will the speakers do next?

My adrenaline (肾上腺素) kicked in as I told myself, “This is my comeback.” Prior to giving birth to a baby, I had been a runner since my 20s. Running made me feel free and it brought me a sense of peace I couldn’t find anywhere else. The harder my feet worked, the more I relaxed. Now, as a new mom in my late 30s, I was picking running back up to prove to myself I was still the old me. However, it was not easy. My legs were weak as I shuffled (拖着脚走) down the track. I felt defeated. The old me had never felt so far away. Running felt like a burden, and the joy was far away from me. Even worse, I felt like a living dead at home. My son wasn’t sleeping through the night, which was exhausting all my extra energy. However I kept going. I went out for a run again and again. A few times a week, I pulled on my shoes and slowly, my one mile route turned into a 5kilometer. Gone were the debates in my head over whether I was a good mom and whether my house would ever be clean again. Running just let me be. I had signed up for the half marathon I ran annually before my son was born as a motivation. When I began running, the marathon route felt so long, but then suddenly, it was over. When I crossed the finish line, I felt like a champion wearing my participant’s medal. My finish time was just a number; what mattered more to me was the journey. Through my running experience, I have realized that nothing is impossible to a willing heart, not only running, but also anything else. 24. Why did the author run in her twenties? A. To enjoy some alone time. B. To maintain a good figure. C. To keep physical health. D. To pursue inner peace. 25. Which of the following words can best describe the author? A. Proud. B. Determined. C. Outgoing. D. Modest. 26. What can be inferred from the fourth paragraph? A. The author occasionally joined in the marathon before. B. Half marathon seemed longer than expected all the way. C.

C The Last Generation is an activist group in Germany, the name implying that our unsustainability will push us to extinction. To force their government into action, some of the group went on a month-long hunger strike in August 2021. It wasn’t a half-hearted effort: several ended up in hospital. But I’d like to take the opposite framing. I think we have the opportunity to be the first generation that leaves the environment in a better state. There are two kinds of optimism: complacent optimism and conditional optimism. Complacent optimism is the feeling of a child waiting for presents. Conditional optimism is the feeling of a child who is thinking about building a tree house, “If I get some wood and nails and persuade some other kids to help do the work, we can end up with something really cool.” The group actually did take bold action, yet I want to address the climate crisis from a different angle. Yes, my framing seems hard to believe. I’ll explain why. Here I’m using the term “generation” loosely. I am from a generation that will be defined by our environmental problems. I was a child when climate change really began. I will see countries move from being almost entirely dependent on fossil fuels to being free of them. I will be 57 when governments hit the “2050 deadline” of reaching net-zero carbon emissions that so many have promised. But, of course, there will be several generations involved in this project. There are a couple above me and a couple below me. And we all need to work together to achieve that. For a conditional optimist, criticism is essential. We need to work through ideas to find the most promising ones. Most innovators have been optimists. But they were also strongly critical: no one would pick apart the ideas of Thomas Edison or Marie Curie more than they did themselves. Don’t look away from the climate crisis that faces us. Let’s face up to it, not from a place of “damage control” but with a clear vision of the future we can build: one that not only stops warming in its tracks but builds a better world for us, all of us, and the species hat we share the planet with. 28. Why is The Last Generation introduced? A. To blame them for their action. B. To remind Germany of its duties. C. To discuss the author’s perspective. D. To demand urgent action from everyone. 29. What is the core of complacent optimism? A. Belief in kindness. B. Passive expectation. C. Brief satisfaction. D. Love of presents. 30. What does the underlined phrase “pick apart” in paragraph 6 mean? A. Turn to. B. Identify with. C. Find fault with. D. Make an assessment of. 31. What does the author intend the readers to do? A. Envision and engage. B. Adapt and advance. C. Inspire and innovate. D. Explore and expand. D Walk any direction in Las Vegas and it’s easy to find machines doing human work. Robots can serve food, and behind the bar, machines are pouring out drinks. Not only are lower-wage jobs replaced by robots, but technology like ChatGPT, which is a form of generative AI, will affect white collar jobs, too, in fields like accounting and data entry. In some cases, AI will help make workers more productive, while other roles might be removed entirely. AI is also likely to create brand new jobs that don’t even exist yet. “Wherever the resort industry can replace their workers and not affect productivity, profits or the customer experience-wherever they can do that with artificial intelligence-they will. We need to move to those occupations that are more highly skilled, that are not easily replaced by AI and that provide a greater level of balance so we’re not so hard-hit,” said John Restrepo, principal at RCG Economics in Las Vegas. Las Vegas city officials are starting to prepare workers for that shift now. At the panel (专家组) hosted by the local Chamber of Commerce, Tony Yee, who owns a small company in the city, said he wanted to learn how to use AI to help him with tasks like dealing with customer evaluations. “AI is the next frontier. It’s just like how people didn’t believe in the Internet in the 90s. This is the next revolution, and if you’re not on board, you’re going to be left behind. And I don’t want to be left behind,” Yee said. There is another person, Sabrina Bergman, who works at the Tipsy Robot, a bar inside Planet Hollywood in the Las Vegas. Her job is to help the robot do its job, tending bar. When the robot accidentally tips over a cup, she resets it. If the robot doesn’t pour a full drink, she tops it off. Bergman said she was not worried about being unemployed-even the bar just opened a second location earlier this year. 32. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The benefits AI brings to various businesses. B. The fields where machines make a big difference. C. The impact AI produces on different occupations. D. The technological progress on the jobs front. 33. What do Restrepo’s remarks imply? A. Humans would be hard-hit without AI. B. Humans need to improve to live with AI. C. Highly skilled occupations must be supported by AI. D. Service industry should take customer experience seriously. 34. What is Tony Yee’s attitude towards AI? A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Negative. D. Uninterested. 35. Why is Bergman unworried about being out of work? A. She has set up a new bar. B. Robots don’t replace humans entirely. C. Businesses can’t afford enough robots. D. Other workers are behind her in work. 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。 Anyone with a story to tell can write a book, either for their own enjoyment or to publish for all to see.

Without support from the local government, he wouldn’t have been able to gain knowledge with us. Wilson always kept a low profile despite his shiny academic performances and basketball skills. In a class meeting, our head teacher, Lily, told us to share our ideal jobs on stage. When it was Wilson’s turn to share, all of us fixed our eyes on what he was going to express. He had never talked about his dream with anyone of us. Contrary to my assumption that he wanted to become a scientist, he said, “I desire to become a professional basketball player, but I don’t know whether it’s possible for me. I just have no money to realize this demanding dream.” Lily, who was experienced in inspiring students, persuaded Wilson to persist in enhancing his basketball skills in spare time. She also noted that every dream deserved respecting. Three months later, Wilson’s birthday came. Our monitor, Diana, put forward an idea that all of the classmates prepared a gift for him together. Without hesitation, we were totally for the idea. However, no one knew what kinds of gifts Wilson loved. It seemed a headache for us to pick out a suitable gift. Suddenly, Diana broke the silence, saying, “Maybe we can consider Wilson’s dream — basketball. Selecting something about playing basketball will cheer him up.” We all nodded. With our tasks assigned, we set out to make preparations for Wilson’s birthday, ranging from decorating settings, raising money, to buying a birthday cake. That day finally came after five days. We planned to give Wilson a big surprise. Therefore, we just informed him that the P. E. teacher was waiting for him on the basketball court. Undoubtedly, he ran to the basketball court. Meanwhile, the whole class were expecting his arrival, hoping to witness the surprise with him. Soon, Wilson entered the basketball court, unaware of what would happen next. “Happy birthday!” we screamed excitedly. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Diana led Wilson to see the birthday cake, which reminded him of his dream. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Moved by our warmth and special gift, Wilson extended his thanks to us. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
