University accommodation (住所) offices Many university accommodation offices have their own list of registered landlords. Others also provide information on accommodation agencies and other housing organization. The advantage of using your university accommodation is that you can get support if you have a problem. The disadvantage is that they are unlikely to have enough registered landlords to house all their students. Property papers: Loot and Renting Loot is an important source of information about private housing for co-renters. The offers are from private landlords, agencies and individuals looking for other co-renters. They also have a website: www.loot.com. The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains. The disadvantage is that there is no quality control over the offers. Renting is another useful paper. The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation agencies. Their website is at www.renting.co.uk. Accommodation agencies The majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through accommodation agencies. The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that you will have a large number of accommodations to choose from. A good agent will listen to your requirements and can save you time in looking for the right accommodation. The disadvantage is that they will make a range of charges to potential renters. Noticeboards Around the universities you will find a number of noticeboards where offers of accommodation will be posted. These will either be from landlords or from students. Some universities will also have online noticeboards where students can advertise to other students. Advertisements from students can be an excellent way to find accommodation. However, advertisements from landlords can be problematic. Word of mouth Some of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students to another by word of mouth. It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students. However, don’t suppose that just because you have found out about housing from a friend, it is necessarily going to be better than that found through any other source. Family Faced with the very high rents charged in London, some students and their parents will consider buying as an alternative. In some cases this might be a good choice. 1. What is the advantage of using Loot? A. It has more offers from accommodation agencies than Renting. B. It gives you personal information about other co-renters. C. Their website is designed mainly for students. D. There are some good bargains. 2. A good agent can help you ______. A. know more people B. find cheap accommodation C. get the right accommodation quickly D. get free information about most accommodations 3. The information passed on by word of mouth is important because ______. A. it is better than that found through any other source B. it helps you find some of the best housing never advertised C. the final year students always offer better information D. the landlords have little valuable information 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。叙述了去伦敦的学生选择住宿的指导建议。去伦敦的学生可以选择学校提供的住宿，有麻烦时可以提到帮助；亦可选择Loot来租住房子；还可以通过租房住宿中介，他们会给你提供一些可租住的房子；还可选择广告牌和听熟人口头介绍的房子．另外一些学生和他们的父母也可以在伦敦买房子来住。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二部分Property papers: Loot and Renting第四句"The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains．"可知，使用Loot的好处是提供一些租价低廉的房屋的信息。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三部分Accommodation agencies第三句"A good agent will listen to your requirements and can save you time in looking for the right accommodation．"可知，一个好的中介能够帮助你快速地找到合适的住宿的地方。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五部分Word of mouth第一句"Some of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students to another by word of mouth．"可知，口头传递的信息是非常重要的，因为它可以帮助你找到一些从来没有广告的最好的住房，故选B。 【点睛】本篇文章主要考查学生的细节理解能力。做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确选择。在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断。例如小题3，根据题干中的word of mouth可知，定位在第五部分第一句"Some of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students to another by word of mouth．"由此可知，伦敦的一些最好的房子从来没有做过广告，但被一群学生口口相传。 因此推断口头传递的信息是非常重要的，因为它可以帮助你找到一些从来没有广告的最好的住房。与选项B吻合。故选B。 B “I was in the ICU. I’d been told I’d be released the next day. The worst, it seemed, was behind me.” Jake Ryan didn’t know it at the time, but the worst was not totally behind him. After his open heart surgery, he was about to enter a different and difficult journey on the road to physical and emotional recovery. Upon discharge (出院), the hospital gave Jake a “care package.” “I miss my 3-year-old twins. I remember thinking how much I wished there was a book in the package that would offer guidance for how to be a dad following surgery. There wasn’t, but it was out of that thought that this book was born.” Dear Diary Franklin is a novel written in the voice of 11-year-old Hannah Brody, whose father had suddenly collapsed on a gym floor and was in need of serious medical attention. The book is written in diary format, which gets readers deep inside the head and heart of its young heroine. Through her diary, readers hear about Hannah’s feelings and frustrations as she copes with the anger, fear and confusion of the impact of her father’s surgery. What are they keeping from me? And why? She repeatedly hears the catchall cliché (陈词滥调) “everything is going to be fine” so many times that she can only think anything but. Her own translation: “Normal was over.” While her dad does his best to keep things as normal as possible, his recovery, as you’d imagine, is slow and his routine changes. Meanwhile, there’s the matter of school and Hannah’s place within what for some is a terrifying social universe—she has few friends. While Ryan said his motivation was to help men (or parents in general) deal with the aftereffects of major surgery in their families and themselves, he has delivered a valuable story for children and grownups alike in how to tackle a difficult life event that nobody can truly prepare you for. 4. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph l refer to? A. That he was sent to the ICU. B. That he had got past the worst things. C. That he would go through a tough recovery. D. That he would be discharged from the hospital. 5. Why did Jake Ryan write Dear Diary Franklin? A. To share a personal journey of recovery. B. To provide support for parents after surgery. C. To explore the challenges of post-surgery life. D. To offer guidance for children with sick parents. 6. What can we learn about Hannah Brody from the text? A. She terrifies her friends away. B. She buys what is told to her. C. She changes her father’s routine. D. She suffers lots of hardships. 7. What is the text? A. A news report. B. A child’s diary. C. An advertisement. D. A book review. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。通过讲述Jake Ryan自己的经历来讲述Dear Diary Franklin这本书诞生的原因以及具体内容以及意义。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据后文“After his open heart surgery, he was about to enter a different and difficult journey on the road to physical and emotional recovery.(在他的心脏直视手术后，他即将进入一段不同的、艰难的身体和情感恢复之路)”可知，it代指后文提到的他会经历一段艰难的康复期。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I remember thinking how much I wished there was a book in the package that would offer guidance for how to be a dad following surgery. There wasn’t, but it was out of that thought that this book was born.(我记得我当时在想，我多么希望包裹里有一本书能指导我如何在手术后成为一名父亲。没有，但正是出于这个想法，这本书诞生了)”可知，Ryan写这本是为了为术后父母提供支持。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Through her diary, readers hear about Hannah’s feelings and frustrations as she copes with the anger, fear and confusion of the impact of her father’s surgery. What are they keeping from me? And why? She repeatedly hears the catchall cliché (陈词滥调) “everything is going to be fine” so many times that she can only think anything but. Her own translation: “Normal was over.” While her dad does his best to keep things as normal as possible, his recovery, as you’d imagine, is slow and his routine changes. Meanwhile, there’s the matter of school and Hannah’s place within what for some is a terrifying social universe—she has few friends.(通过她的日记，读者可以听到汉娜在应对父亲手术带来的愤怒、恐惧和困惑时的感受和挫折。他们对我隐瞒了什么?为什么?她反复听到“一切都会好起来的”这句老生常谈，以至于她什么都不想。她自己的翻译是：“正常结束了。”虽然她的父亲尽他最大的努力让一切尽可能正常，但你可以想象，他的恢复是缓慢的，他的日常生活也发生了变化。与此同时，学校的问题和汉娜的位置对一些人来说是一个可怕的社会宇宙——她几乎没有朋友)”可知，汉娜在应对父亲手术时，有愤怒、恐惧和困惑时的感受和挫折，以及在学校时她几乎没有朋友，所以她受了很多苦。故选D项。 7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“I remember thinking how much I wished there was a book in the package that would offer guidance for how to be a dad following surgery. There wasn’t, but it was out of that thought that this book was born.(我记得我当时在想，我多么希望包裹里有一本书能指导我如何在手术后成为一名父亲。没有，但正是出于这个想法，这本书诞生了)”以及第三段“Dear Diary Franklin is a novel written in the voice of 11-year-old Hannah Brody, whose father had suddenly collapsed on a gym floor and was in need of serious medical attention. The book is written in diary format, which gets readers deep inside the head and heart of its young heroine.(Dear Diary Franklin是一部以11岁的汉娜·布罗迪(Hannah Brody)的声音写成的小说，她的父亲突然瘫倒在健身房的地板上，需要紧急治疗。这本书以日记的形式写成，让读者深入到年轻女主角的头脑和内心)”可知，本段主要介绍了Dear Diary Franklin这本书，所以推知应是一篇书评。故选D项。 C Will artificial intelligence (AI) replace my job? This is a question that many people think about these days. At present, the application of AI robotics in professional fields, as well as ChatGPT’s abilities to write essays, solve complex problems and more, have heightened moral concerns. Some people see AI as the ultimate cure for society’s most fundamental problems, while others fear that AI will overtake human intelligence. These two views are based on the assumption that AI is better and smarter than humanity and may ultimately replace human decision-making. But given the fact that technology is the product of human civilization, the challenge from AI is something we have created for ourselves as we keep pushing our own boundaries. In other words, AI’s progress, functions and future direction are all determined by the human brain. Before AI becomes a threat to humanity, the international community should reach an agreement on the role it is to play. More importantly, related laws and regulations must ensure that AI will benefit society and prevent it from threatening human life. Robots, for example, are believed to develop emotional intelligence sometime, which enables them to recognize, understand and express emotions in a way that is similar to humans, but we must avoid AI copying human emotions. Without legal restrictions, AI may become a social disaster. The AI-driven new industrial revolution is irreversible. This, like previous ones, which introduced changes that had been unimaginable before, will certainly affect human employment. But it always turned out humanity was able to adapt to each industrial revolution and create new forms of employment. Therefore, it’s unnecessary to worry AI will replace our jobs. While technology advances at a rapid pace, what we need to do is to welcome the AI era rather than block its unfolding for fear of the unknown. 8. Why are some people concerned about AI? A. It may outsmart humans. B. It has led to social problems. C. It has been applied widely. D. It is the product of humanity. 9. How can we prevent AI’s potential threat? A. By stirring emotions. B. By blocking functions. C. By setting restrictions. D. By changing regulations. 10. What does the underlined word “irreversible” in the last paragraph mean? A. Undesirable. B. Unavoidable. C. Unpredictable. D. Unbelievable. 11. What does the writer suggest readers do with the coming of the AI era? A. Accept it passively. B. Deal with it positively. C. Respond to it randomly. D. Defend it unconditionally. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。本文讨论了人工智能在人类社会中的角色和挑战。虽然一些人担心人工智能可能会取代人类的工作，但作者认为，人类创造了AI，并且在AI的进展、功能和未来方向上拥有决定性的作用。同时，作者也强调了适应新工业革命的必要性，相信人类可以适应新形势，创造新的就业形式。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Some people see AI as the ultimate cure for society’s most fundamental problems, while others fear that AI will overtake human intelligence. These two views are based on the assumption that AI is better and smarter than humanity and may ultimately replace human decision-making.(一些人认为人工智能是解决社会最根本问题的终极良方，而另一些人则担心人工智能将超越人类的智慧。这两种观点都是基于人工智能比人类更好、更聪明，最终可能取代人类决策的假设)”可知，一些人担心人工智能将超越人类的智慧，这是基于他们认为人工智能比人类更好、更聪明，最终可能取代人类决策的假设。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“More importantly, related laws and regulations must ensure that AI will benefit society and prevent it from threatening human life.(更重要的是，相关法律法规必须确保人工智能造福社会，防止其威胁人类生命)”可知，我们可以通过相关法律法规确保人工智能造福社会，防止其威胁人类生命。故选C。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词后面的内容“This, like previous ones, which introduced changes that had been unimaginable before, will certainly affect human employment.(这就像以前一样，带来了以前无法想象的变化，肯定会影响到人类的就业)”可知，人工智能驱动的新工业革命就像以前一样会带来无法想象的变化，一定会影响到人类的就业，因此人工智能驱动的新工业革命是不可避免的。故划线词与B选项“Unavoidable(不可避免的)”为同义词。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Therefore, it’s unnecessary to worry AI will replace our jobs. While technology advances at a rapid pace, what we need to do is to welcome the AI era rather than block its unfolding for fear of the unknown.(因此，不必担心人工智能会取代我们的工作。虽然技术正在快速发展，但我们需要做的是欢迎人工智能时代的到来，而不是因为害怕未知而阻止它的发展)”可知，作者建议对于未来的人工智能时代的到来，不要因为害怕而去阻止它，而是应该欢迎人工智能时代的到来，即积极地对待它。故选B。 D Businesses are now in cost-cutting mode. Title inflation (头衔通胀)has crept into the workplace. Layoffs, hiring freezes and concerns about a recession (经济衰退) are plaguing employers. To balance this unique economic environment, employers have figured out a way to comfort employees and job applicants without spending more money. They are offering impressive titles to soften the blow of not providing a raise to internal employees or big compensation to job candidates. An employee’ s title is their identity. It gives them credibility in the office and makes them feel more powerful. In this sense, the policy is a sensible way to help keep staff and attract top candidates. But if you don’t really deserve the new title, it could come back and trouble you. Recruiters will be pleased to find a candidate who is a perfect fit for a significant, well-paying position in terms of skills, background, and previous experience. However, a stumbling block arises when they notice the candidate has a higher title than the client offers. Since a recruiter wants to make a placement and earn a fee, they won’t waste time and will seek out other candidates who are a better fit. Even if the recruiters decide to contact the candidate, there’s a good chance the candidate won’t accept. Because most people aren’t aware that their title was inflated and believe it was a reward for their outstanding performance. Understandably, they would be offended if they received a lower-level post. Now that you are at a certain level, you don’t want to go backward. What’s more, if your current title is too high, it raises red flags. For example, when searching for a new job, if your title is“director”, but the new role is under that level, the interviewer will curiously inquire, “why do you want to go down in title?” There will be an assumption from the hiring manager that something isn’t right. They may feel that the job seeker is leaving before being fired and willing to downgrade. Rather than trying to figure out the motivations of the candidate, they’ll move on to others who have a cleaner story without any baggage. 12. The word “plaguing” in Paragraph 1 is similar to “______”. A. troubling B. confusing C. shocking D. embarrassing 13. What can we learn about employees with impressive titles? A. They get a good platform for development. B. They tend to look down upon others. C. Their salaries don’t match their titles. D. Their fear of being fired will disappear. 14. What will a recruiter probably do if a candidate’s title is higher than the client offers? A. Have a discussion with the client. B. Exclude the candidate from consideration. C. Contact the job applicant immediately. D. Gather more information about the candidate. 15. What is hiring managers’ attitude towards those who choose to downgrade? A. Appreciative. B. Dismissive. C. Mistrustful. D. Enthusiastic. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了当前企业中因经济环境不好而出现的成本削减、头衔通胀等问题。为了安抚员工和求职者，企业采用的一种方法是给他们“高级”头衔，以弥补不能提供加薪或高薪的缺陷。虽然头衔可以增强员工在职场中的信誉，但如果头衔过高，却会给员工和求职者带来不利影响，特别是在找新工作时，会被招聘者认为是有不良动机的。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段划线词前面的内容“Businesses are now in cost-cutting mode. Title inflation has crept into the workplace. (企业现在正处于成本削减模式。头衔膨胀已经蔓延到工作场所)”可知，企业现在正处于成本削减模式，由裁员、招聘冻结和对经济衰退的担忧已经对员工们带来了困扰。因此划线词应该与A选项“troubling(困扰)”为同义词。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“They are offering impressive titles to soften the blow of not providing a raise to internal employees or big compensation to job candidates.(他们提供令人印象深刻的头衔，以减轻不给内部员工加薪或不给求职者提供高额薪酬的打击)”可知，听起来高大上的员工薪水与他们的头衔不匹配。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“However, a stumbling block arises when they notice the candidate has a higher title than the client offers. Since a recruiter wants to make a placement and earn a fee, they won't waste time and will seek out other candidates who are a better fit. (然而，当他们注意到候选人头衔高于客户提供的头衔时，就会遇到障碍。既然招聘人员想安排工作并赚取费用，他们就不会浪费时间，而是会寻找其他更适合的候选人)”可知，如果候选人的头衔高于客户的要求，招聘人员可能不会考虑该候选人。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“What’s more, if your current title is too high, it raises red flags. For example, when searching for a new job, if your title is“director”, but the new role is under that level, the interviewer will curiously inquire, “why do you want to go down in title?”(更重要的是，如果我们目前的头衔太高，就会引发危险信号。例如，在寻找新工作时，如果你的头衔是“总监”，但新职位低于该级别，面试官会好奇地问：“你为什么要降级？”)”可知，招聘经理对那些选择降级的人的态度是怀疑的,不信任的。故选C。 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Kindness May Keep You Healthy If you are driving in the United States, you may see a common bumper (汽车保险杠) sticker on passing vehicles that reads: ___16___ The saying is meant to urge people to behave in a gentle, caring, and helpful way towards others without thinking or planning ahead. Research shows that doing kind things can make us feel better. In one experiment, Brian Are, an anthropologist (人类学家) at Duke University, asked a group of people to perform three acts of generosity for other individuals each week. ___17___ The people who were caring, gentle and friendly towards others reported experiencing contentment, satisfaction and happiness. ___18___ Lyubomirsky studied a group of people with the disease Multiple Sclerosis (多发性硬化). She found that they felt better physically when helping others. Her research also pointed out that people showing kindness to others had less inflammation (炎症) in their bodies. And in other studies, Lyubomirsky said more anti-viral genes were found in people who extended a helping hand to other people. Other research has shown that many people prize kindness above other values. In one study, researchers gave people a list of values — such as kindness, creativity, ambition, tradition, security, seeking social justice, and seeking power. ___19___ “The basic reason why people are kind,” Oliver Curry, explained, the research director at Kind-lab that is a non-profit organization, “is that we are social animals. ___20___” In other words, we are designed to be kind. A. Acts of kindness are very powerful. B. Kindness is as much a part of us as our anger, grief or desire. C. However, being kind is not just emotionally beneficial. D. Perform random acts of kindness. E. The behavior could be small, like opening a door for someone. F. He found that being kind makes people feel better emotionally. G. When asked to pick the most important, kindness won. 【答案】16. D 17. E 18. C 19. G 20. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了善良和友好对健康的益处。研究表明，对他人的关心和善意可以带来情感上的满足和幸福感，同时也可以减少身体炎症和增强免疫系统。此外，善良是人类社会性本能的表现之一。文章呼吁人们在生活中多表现出善良和友好。 【16题详解】 根据后文“The saying is meant to urge people to behave in a gentle, caring, and helpful way towards others without thinking or planning ahead.(这句话的意思是敦促人们在不考虑或事先计划的情况下，以温柔、关心和帮助的方式对待他人)”可知，此处解释了汽车保险杠上贴纸的内容：敦促人们在不考虑或事先计划的情况下，以温柔、关心和帮助的方式对待他人。D选项“随意做一些善意的事情”概括后文的内容，指出要以温柔、关心和帮助的方式对待他人，与下文形成呼应。故选D。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Research shows that doing kind things can make us feel better. In one experiment, Brian Are, an anthropologist (人类学家) at Duke University, asked a group of people to perform three acts of generosity for other individuals each week.(研究表明，做好事可以让我们感觉更好。在一项实验中，杜克大学的人类学家Brian Are要求一组人每周为他人做三件慷慨的事)”可知，上文提到要求做三件慷慨的事，推测本句承接上文，说明三件事的特点，故E选项“这种行为可能很小，比如为别人开门”符合语境，故选E。 【18题详解】 根据上一段最后一句“The people who were caring, gentle and friendly towards others reported experiencing contentment, satisfaction and happiness.(那些对别人关心、温柔、友好的人报告说他们感到满足、满意和幸福)”以及后文“Lyubomirsky studied a group of people with the disease Multiple Sclerosis(多发性硬化). She found that they felt better physically when helping others. Her research also pointed out that people showing kindness to others had less inflammation (炎症) in their bodies. And in other studies, Lyubomirsky said more anti-viral genes were found in people who extended a helping hand to other people.(柳博米尔斯基研究了一组患有多发性硬化症的人。她发现当他们帮助别人时，他们的身体感觉更好。她的研究还指出，对他人友善的人体内的炎症更少。在其他研究中，柳博米尔斯基说，在向别人伸出援助之手的人身上发现了更多的抗病毒基因)”可知，上文提到了善良对情感的好处，而本段主要说明了善良对身体的好处，故本句与上文构成转折关系，故C选项“然而，善良不仅仅在情感上有益”符合语境，起到承上启下的作用，故选C。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Other research has shown that many people prize kindness above other values. In one study, researchers gave people a list of values — such as kindness, creativity, ambition, tradition, security, seeking social justice, and seeking power.(其他研究表明，许多人认为善良高于其他价值观。在一项研究中，研究人员给人们列出了一系列价值观，比如善良、创造力、雄心、传统、安全感、追求社会正义和追求权力)”可知，研究表明，许多人认为善良高于其他价值观，并介绍了一项研究中，研究人员给人们列出了一系列价值观，由此可推知，在众多的价值观中，许多人认为善良比其他价值观重要；G选项“当被要求选出最重要的东西时，善良胜出”符合语境，故选G。 【20题详解】 根据上文““The basic reason why people are kind,” Oliver Curry, explained, the research director at Kind-lab that is a non-profit organization, “is that we are social animals.(非营利组织kind-lab的研究主任奥利弗·库里解释说：‘人们善良的基本原因是，我们是社会性动物。’)”以及后文“In other words, we are designed to be kind.(换句话说，我们生来就是善良的)”可知，后文提到我们生来善良，推测本句是在说明善良是人类的天性，故B选项“善良是我们的一部分，就像我们的愤怒、悲伤和欲望一样”符合语境，故选B。 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Life can change in the blink of an eye.

The burden of excessive homework and his parents’ struggling business weighed heavily on him, forcing Sam to make the difficult decision of not having a birthday party, even though it was an event he enjoyed dearly every year. One day, during break, his best friend, Jim, with a curious look in his eyes, approached. “Are you going to have a birthday party this year?” Jim asked, sensing Sam’s sadness. “No,” Sam sighed and replied sadly, “There’s just too much going on and my parents are going through financial difficulties.” He smiled weakly, trying to conceal his immense disappointment and stress, but Jim saw through his pretence (假装) easily. Jim nodded thoughtfully and did not say anything. After the break, Sam saw his talking to one of their classmates, Sarah, secretively. Curious, Sam went over to them, but as soon as Jim saw him, he quickly walked away. Sam was startled by Jim’s strange actions and turned towards Sarah. “What did he say?” Sam asked. However, Sarah simply shrugged and walked away with Jim, leaving Sam standing there. feeling left out and anxious. What is happening? San wondered anxiously. Are they keeping something from me? As Sam’s birthday drew nearer, Jim was often found chatting softly with his other classmates. Whenever Sam went over to them, they would just walk away or tell him that they were talking about a secret which Sam was not allowed to know. Jim has never kept secrets from me before, Sam thought.

As the room flooded with light, Sam’s eyes widened in surprise and disbelief. The classroom was decorated with balloons and streamers, a beautiful cake sat on the teacher’s desk, and in the corner, a pile of presents waited to be unwrapped. Tears sprang from Sam’s eyes and his face broke into a radiant smile. He turned towards Jim, who was grinning from ear to ear. “We knew you couldn’t have a party this year, so we decided to bring the party to you,” Jim said, his eyes twinkling with mischief. The cloud of confusion lifted from Sam’s mind as he realized that his friends hadn’t been distancing themselves from him, they were planning this surprise all along.

University accommodation (住所) offices Many university accommodation offices have their own list of registered landlords. Others also provide information on accommodation agencies and other housing organization. The advantage of using your university accommodation is that you can get support if you have a problem. The disadvantage is that they are unlikely to have enough registered landlords to house all their students. Property papers: Loot and Renting Loot is an important source of information about private housing for co-renters. The offers are from private landlords, agencies and individuals looking for other co-renters. They also have a website: www.loot.com. The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains. The disadvantage is that there is no quality control over the offers. Renting is another useful paper. The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation agencies. Their website is at www.renting.co.uk. Accommodation agencies The majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through accommodation agencies. The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that you will have a large number of accommodations to choose from. A good agent will listen to your requirements and can save you time in looking for the right accommodation. The disadvantage is that they will make a range of charges to potential renters. Noticeboards Around the universities you will find a number of noticeboards where offers of accommodation will be posted. These will either be from landlords or from students. Some universities will also have online noticeboards where students can advertise to other students. Advertisements from students can be an excellent way to find accommodation. However, advertisements from landlords can be problematic. Word of mouth Some of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students to another by word of mouth. It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students. However, don’t suppose that just because you have found out about housing from a friend, it is necessarily going to be better than that found through any other source. Family Faced with the very high rents charged in London, some students and their parents will consider buying as an alternative. In some cases this might be a good choice. 1. What is the advantage of using Loot? A. It has more offers from accommodation agencies than Renting. B. It gives you personal information about other co-renters. C. Their website is designed mainly for students. D. There are some good bargains. 2. A good agent can help you ______. A. know more people B. find cheap accommodation C get the right accommodation quickly D. get free information about most accommodations 3. The information passed on by word of mouth is important because ______. A. it is better than that found through any other source B. it helps you find some of the best housing never advertised C. the final year students always offer better information D. the landlords have little valuable information B “I was in the ICU. I’d been told I’d be released the next day. The worst, it seemed, was behind me.” Jake Ryan didn’t know it at the time, but the worst was not totally behind him. After his open heart surgery, he was about to enter a different and difficult journey on the road to physical and emotional recovery. Upon discharge (出院), the hospital gave Jake a “care package.” “I miss my 3-year-old twins. I remember thinking how much I wished there was a book in the package that would offer guidance for how to be a dad following surgery. There wasn’t, but it was out of that thought that this book was born.” Dear Diary Franklin is a novel written in the voice of 11-year-old Hannah Brody, whose father had suddenly collapsed on a gym floor and was in need of serious medical attention. The book is written in diary format, which gets readers deep inside the head and heart of its young heroine. Through her diary, readers hear about Hannah’s feelings and frustrations as she copes with the anger, fear and confusion of the impact of her father’s surgery. What are they keeping from me? And why? She repeatedly hears the catchall cliché (陈词滥调) “everything is going to be fine” so many times that she can only think anything but. Her own translation: “Normal was over.” While her dad does his best to keep things as normal as possible, his recovery, as you’d imagine, is slow and his routine changes. Meanwhile, there’s the matter of school and Hannah’s place within what for some is a terrifying social universe—she has few friends. While Ryan said his motivation was to help men (or parents in general) deal with the aftereffects of major surgery in their families and themselves, he has delivered a valuable story for children and grownups alike in how to tackle a difficult life event that nobody can truly prepare you for. 4. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph l refer to? A. That he was sent to the ICU. B. That he had got past the worst things. C. That he would go through a tough recovery. D. That he would be discharged from the hospital. 5. Why did Jake Ryan write Dear Diary Franklin? A. To share a personal journey of recovery. B. To provide support for parents after surgery. C. To explore the challenges of post-surgery life. D. To offer guidance for children with sick parents. 6. What can we learn about Hannah Brody from the text? A. She terrifies her friends away. B. She buys what is told to her. C. She changes her father’s routine. D. She suffers lots of hardships. 7. What is the text? A. A news report. B. A child’s diary. C. An advertisement. D. A book review. C Will artificial intelligence (AI) replace my job? This is a question that many people think about these days. At present, the application of AI robotics in professional fields, as well as ChatGPT’s abilities to write essays, solve complex problems and more, have heightened moral concerns. Some people see AI as the ultimate cure for society’s most fundamental problems, while others fear that AI will overtake human intelligence. These two views are based on the assumption that AI is better and smarter than humanity and may ultimately replace human decision-making. But given the fact that technology is the product of human civilization, the challenge from AI is something we have created for ourselves as we keep pushing our own boundaries. In other words, AI’s progress, functions and future direction are all determined by the human brain. Before AI becomes a threat to humanity, the international community should reach an agreement on the role it is to play. More importantly, related laws and regulations must ensure that AI will benefit society and prevent it from threatening human life. Robots, for example, are believed to develop emotional intelligence sometime, which enables them to recognize, understand and express emotions in a way that is similar to humans, but we must avoid AI copying human emotions. Without legal restrictions, AI may become a social disaster. The AI-driven new industrial revolution is irreversible. This, like previous ones, which introduced changes that had been unimaginable before, will certainly affect human employment. But it always turned out humanity was able to adapt to each industrial revolution and create new forms of employment. Therefore, it’s unnecessary to worry AI will replace our jobs. While technology advances at a rapid pace, what we need to do is to welcome the AI era rather than block its unfolding for fear of the unknown. 8. Why are some people concerned about AI? A.

Defend it unconditionally. D Businesses are now in cost-cutting mode. Title inflation (头衔通胀)has crept into the workplace. Layoffs hiring freezes and concerns about a recession (经济衰退) are plaguing employers. To balance this unique economic environment, employers have figured out a way to comfort employees and job applicants without spending more money. They are offering impressive titles to soften the blow of not providing a raise to internal employees or big compensation to job candidates. An employee’ s title is their identity. It gives them credibility in the office and makes them feel more powerful. In this sense the policy is a sensible way to help keep staff and attract top candidates. But if you don’t really deserve the new title, it could come back and trouble you. Recruiters will be pleased to find a candidate who is a perfect fit for a significant, well-paying position in terms of skills, background, and previous experience. However, a stumbling block arises when they notice the candidate has a higher title than the client offers. Since a recruiter wants to make a placement and earn a fee, they won’t waste time and will seek out other candidates who are a better fit. Even if the recruiters decide to contact the candidate, there’s a good chance the candidate won’t accept. Because most people aren’t aware that their title was inflated and believe it was a reward for their outstanding performance. Understandably, they would be offended if they received a lower-level post. Now that you are at a certain level, you don’t want to go backward. What’s more, if your current title is too high, it raises red flags. For example, when searching for a new job, if your title is“director”, but the new role is under that level, the interviewer will curiously inquire, “why do you want to go down in title?” There will be an assumption from the hiring manager that something isn’t right. They may feel that the job seeker is leaving before being fired and willing to downgrade. Rather than trying to figure out the motivations of the candidate, they’ll move on to others who have a cleaner story without any baggage. 12. The word “plaguing” in Paragraph 1 is similar to “______”. A. troubling B. confusing C. shocking D. embarrassing 13. What can we learn about employees with impressive titles? A. They get a good platform for development. B. They tend to look down upon others. C. Their salaries don’t match their titles. D. Their fear of being fired will disappear. 14. What will a recruiter probably do if a candidate’s title is higher than the client offers? A. Have a discussion with the client. B. Exclude the candidate from consideration. C. Contact the job applicant immediately. D. Gather more information about the candidate. 15. What is hiring managers’ attitude towards those who choose to downgrade? A. Appreciative. B. Dismissive. C. Mistrustful. D. Enthusiastic. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Kindness May Keep You Healthy If you are driving in the United States, you may see a common bumper (汽车保险杠) sticker on passing vehicles that reads: ___16___ The saying is meant to urge people to behave in a gentle, caring, and helpful way towards others without thinking or planning ahead.
