One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts, it came without wrap (包装).
On September 11th, 1958, Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying, “I promised you a gift, and here it is.” What an honour! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over and over how much I loved it!
One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it.Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”, “pitiful”, and “dying”, which sounded ominous.
Christmas was coming. “Don’t expect any presents this year,” Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room.“If your baby brother lives, that’ll be Christmas enough.” As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears. I’d never seen him cry before.
The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say, “What? He’s all right?” He hung up and shouted upstairs. “The hospital said we can bring Richard home!”
“Thank God!” I heard Mum cry.
From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them so happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there flat. But I knew they were not empty; they were filled with love!

At the Game Awards (TGA) 2024, Black Myth: Wukong achieved several “breakthrough” in Chinese gaming history. This Chinese hit video game has taken the gaming world by storm, selling more than 10 million copies across all platforms in just three days after its release.
The game is inspired by the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West. In it, players take the role of the Destined One, setting off for adventures to collect six Relics that once belonged to Sun Wukong and challenge the Celestial Court.
Drawing on a rich heritage of nearly 1,000 years of Chinese culture, the game’s storyline and characters have proven difficult to understand for foreign players. For instance, a player shared on social media that their lack of familiarity with Journey to the West led to them consistently missing hidden treasures, finally resulting in repeated failures during a boss fight in Chapter 2. Meanwhile, some players feel overwhelmed by names like Erlang Shen and Lingxuzi, which can be difficult to pronounce for those unfamiliar with pinyin.
To bridge these cultural divides, one enthusiast wrote a 200-page outline detailing Sun Wukong’s abilities across all 100 chapters of Journey to the West. Many others immersed themselves in the story by checking out TV shows, anime and online forums.
Through this process, western players have not only improved their gaming skills but also developed a deeper appreciation for Sun Wukong and Journey to the West. “Although many people might compare Sun Wukong to Western superheroes, I believe they are different,” said Patrick from the US. “Sun Wukong has a carefree and independent nature, unlimited by the need to set a good example for others like Spider-Man, who by contrast follows principles like ’with great power comes great responsibility’.”
Journey to the West offers a comprehensive narrative that covers a very dangerous journey, numerous encounters and the exploration of various cultures, making it a rich source for diverse storytelling types and cultural backgrounds. Perhaps these are some of the key reasons why Journey to the West has been translated into over a dozen languages, with more than 60 versions available worldwide.
8. What is the Destined One in paragraph 2?
A. The fictional main character of the game.
B. The nickname of Sun Wukong in the game.
C. One of the adventures to collect the six Relics.
D. One of the six Relics belonging to the Celestial Court.
9. What does the underlined word “bridge” in paragraph 4 most likely mean?
A. Take control of. B. Get rid of.
C. Lose track of. D. Take advantage of.
10. What can be learned about the game from the passage?
A. It has gradually gained popularity among players worldwide.
B. Its original character Sun Wukong is similar to western superheroes.
C. It is hard for foreign players due to their unfamiliarity with Chinese culture.
D. It has been translated into many languages with numerous versions available worldwide.
11. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. A Chinese hit video game and its original novel Journey to the West.
B. Reasons behind the success of Chinese video game Black Myth: Wukong.
C. The benefits Black Myth: Wukong brings to the spread of Chinese culture.
D. The cultural impact and western players’ reception of a Chinese hit video game.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国热门视频游戏《黑神话:悟空》的文化影响及西方玩家的反响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段中“In it, players take the role of the Destined One, setting off for adventures to collect six Relics that once belonged to Sun Wukong and challenge the Celestial Court. (在游戏中,玩家扮演Destined One,踏上冒险之旅,收集曾属于孙悟空的六件法宝,并向天庭发起挑战)”可知,Destined One指的是游戏中的虚构主角。故选A。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第三段中“Drawing on a rich heritage of nearly 1,000 years of Chinese culture, the game’s storyline and characters have proven difficult to understand for foreign players. (这款游戏的故事情节和角色根植于近1000年的中国丰富文化遗产,对于外国玩家来说理解起来颇具难度)”和第四段中“To bridge these cultural divides, one enthusiast wrote a 200-page outline detailing Sun Wukong’s abilities across all 100 chapters of Journey to the West. Many others immersed themselves in the story by checking out TV shows, anime and online forums. (为了bridge这些文化鸿沟,一位爱好者撰写了一份200页的大纲,详细阐述了孙悟空在《西游记》100章中的能力。许多其他人则通过观看电视剧、动漫和参与在线论坛来沉浸于这个故事)”可知,游戏的故事情节和人物对外国玩家来说很难理解。一位爱好者撰写了一份200页的大纲,详细阐述了孙悟空在《西游记》100章中的能力,是为了弥合文化鸿沟,消除文化障碍。bridge在此处意为“消除(文化障碍)”,与选项B“Get rid of (除去)”意思相符。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段中“Drawing on a rich heritage of nearly 1,000 years of Chinese culture, the game’s storyline and characters have proven difficult to understand for foreign players. (这款游戏的故事情节和角色根植于近1000年的中国丰富文化遗产,对于外国玩家来说理解起来颇具难度)”可知,这款游戏因为外国玩家对中国文化的不熟悉而对他们来说很难。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是由文章第一段“At the Game Awards (TGA) 2024, Black Myth: Wukong achieved several “breakthrough” in Chinese gaming history. This Chinese hit video game has taken the gaming world by storm, selling more than 10 million copies across all platforms in just three days after its release. (在2024年游戏大奖(TGA)上,《黑神话:悟空》在中国游戏史上取得了多项“突破性”成就。这款在中国大热的视频游戏一经发布,便迅速席卷了整个游戏界,在所有平台上仅三天内就售出了超过1000万份)”可知,文章主要介绍了中国热门视频游戏《黑神话:悟空》以及它在西方玩家中的反响和文化影响。因此,文章的主旨大意是“一款中国热门视频游戏的文化影响以及西方玩家的反响”。故选D。
D
Jennifer DeStefano answered a call from an unknown number only to hear a man threatening her 15-year-old daughter’s life and demanding money as well as the sound of her daughter crying for help. But while she kept him on the phone, her friends managed to reach her daughter, discovering that she was, in fact, free and well on a skiing trip in Arizona. The voice used on the phone was cloned.
A brief sample (样本) of a voice can be used to train an AI model, which can then speak any given text sounding like that person. Now the dangers are starting to be talked aloud.
ElevenLabs, an AI start-up, offers users the chance to create their own clones in minutes and the results are disturbingly accurate. When generating a playback, the system allows users to choose between variability and stability (稳定性). Select “variability”, and the voice will have a lifelike intonation (语调), including pauses like “er...”. Choose “stability”, and it will come across more like a calm and unemotional newsreader. Taylor Jones, a linguist and consultant, took a careful look at the quality of ElevenLabs’s clone of his voice in a video. A low-tech test, a “conversation” with his own mother, fooled the woman who raised him.
For several years, customers have been able to identify themselves over the phone to their bank and other companies using their voice. This was a security upgrade, not a danger. Not even a gifted voice actor could fool the detection system. But now the banks are forced to change in order to prevent crime.
Creative industries could face trouble. Voice actors’ skills, trained over a lifetime, can be copied in seconds. But some actors may, in fact, find cloning congenial. One actor, who has lost much of his voice to throat cancer, was delighted to have his voice restored for his new movie. Others may be spared the trouble of heading for the studio for retakes. Another industry that will have to deal with the rise of clones is journalism. Secret recordings have long been the contributor to the big news. Now who will trust a story based on an audio clip (音频片段)?
12. How does the author lead in the topic?
A. By telling a story. B. By explaining a concept.
C. By making a guess. D. By making a comparison.
13. Why is Taylor Jones mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To analyze the use of voice cloning. B. To draw readers’ attention to AI.
C. To prove ElevenLabs’s achievements. D. To show the danger of voice cloning.
14. What does the underlined word “congenial” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Annoying. B. Shocking. C. Suitable. D. Inventive.
15. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. AI Technology: Good or Bad? B. AI-based Voice: A Potential Risk
C. Cloned Voice: Who to Blame? D. Voice Cloning: A New Phenomenon
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了声音克隆技术及其潜在的危害。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Jennifer DeStefano answered a call from an unknown number only to hear a man threatening her 15-year-old daughter’s life and demanding money, as well as the sound of her daughter crying for help. But while she kept him on the phone, her friends managed to reach her daughter, discovering that she was, in fact, free and well on a skiing trip in Arizona. The voice used on the phone was cloned.(Jennifer DeStefano接了一个未知号码的电话,却听到一名男子威胁她15岁女儿的生命,索要钱财,以及她女儿求救的声音。但就在她让他打电话的时候,她的朋友们设法联系上了她的女儿,发现她实际上是自由自在的,正在亚利桑那州滑雪旅行。电话里的声音是克隆的)”可知,文章开篇先讲述了Jennifer DeStefano差点被陌生来电里“女儿”的声音骗到的经历,接着第一段最后一句点出,这个电话中的声音是克隆出来的。下文均是围绕声音克隆这个话题展开的,因此作者是通过讲述一个故事或一个人的经历来引入话题的。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Now the dangers are starting to be talked aloud.(现在,人们开始大声谈论这些危险)”以及第三段“A low-tech test, a “conversation” with his own mother, fooled the woman who raised him.(一个低技术含量的测试,一次与他母亲的“对话”,愚弄了抚养他长大的女人)”可知,第三段提到ElevenLabs把Taylor Jones的声音克隆得很逼真,连抚养他长大的母亲都被骗了,因此可推知,作者通过Taylor Jones的例子来说明声音克隆技术可能带来的危害。故选D。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段“Creative industries could face trouble. Voice actors’ skills, trained over a lifetime, can be copied in seconds.(创意产业可能面临麻烦。配音演员的技能,经过一生的训练,可以在几秒钟内复制出来)”先说声音克隆可能会使创意行业遇到麻烦,然后笔锋一转,But后的内容和上文形成转折,由此可推测此处是声音克隆技术的好处。再结合下文中的“One actor, who has lost much of his voice to throat cancer, was delighted to have his voice restored for his new movie. Others may be spared the trouble of heading for the studio for retakes.(一位因喉癌失去了大部分声音的演员,很高兴他的声音在他的新电影中恢复了。其他人可能会省去去工作室重拍的麻烦)”可知,有一位演员因患喉癌声音受损,他很开心声音克隆技术恢复了自己的声音。其他人或许能省去前往录音棚重录的麻烦。因此对于这些人来说声音克隆技术是非常“适合”他们的。故划线词意思是“适合的”。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Now the dangers are starting to be talked aloud.(现在,人们开始大声谈论这些危险)”结合下文对声音克隆技术的危害的描述可知,本文主要介绍声音克隆技术和它的潜在危害。B选项“以人工智能为基础的声音:一个潜在的危害”能概括文章的主旨。故选B。

Just as many families do at a point, Catherine chose to add a new family member by adopting a pet. Shortly after her daughter Kate’s birth, Catherine decided she wanted a close bond (纽带) with a dog for Kate. Thus, Catherine called the dog shelter close by to inquire (问询) about adoption. After hearing about the available animals, she chose a Doberman Pinscher. Once they signed adoption papers, they named the dog Khan.
Catherine was hopeful this would provide valuable lessons for her baby, such as sharing, learning to love and responsibility to care for animals. She was looking forward to having the dog join the family.
Hearing of Khan’s rough background, Catherine immediately loved the dog. She was overjoyed to bring this special dog back to her family. Or course, she realized there were risks involved. Well, the obvious risks from bringing a large, potentially dangerous animal to her young baby, Catherine pushed them aside. If she had not adopted Khan, he would have been killed just a week later. So, this was his new life and second chance, and the family was hoping for the best.
Everything began smoothly. They trained Khan during the first few days. However, everything changed on that fourth day when the dog acted completely out of character.
The fateful (对未来有重大影响的) day began with the usual playtime in the yard. Although baby Kate had her parents watching from a distance, they did not notice anything out of the ordinary Kate and the new dog had been making a habit of playing out back like this. However, things were different this day.
So what was actually happening out there? The two were not being loud or crazy. They began running through the backyard grass together. Again, Catherine watched the two closely. Surprisingly, things had changed within an instant (一瞬间)!

One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts, it came without wrap (包装).
On September 11th, 1958, Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying, “I promised you a gift, and here it is.” What an honour! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over and over how much I loved it!
One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it.Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”, “pitiful”, and “dying”, which sounded ominous.
Christmas was coming. “Don’t expect any presents this year,” Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room.“If your baby brother lives, that’ll be Christmas enough.” As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears. I’d never seen him cry before.
The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say, “What? He’s all right?” He hung up and shouted upstairs. “The hospital said we can bring Richard home!”
“Thank God!” I heard Mum cry.
From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them so happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there flat. But I knew they were not empty; they were filled with love!

At the Game Awards (TGA) 2024, Black Myth: Wukong achieved several “breakthrough” in Chinese gaming history. This Chinese hit video game has taken the gaming world by storm, selling more than 10 million copies across all platforms in just three days after its release.
The game is inspired by the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West. In it, players take the role of the Destined One, setting off for adventures to collect six Relics that once belonged to Sun Wukong and challenge the Celestial Court.
Drawing on a rich heritage of nearly 1,000 years of Chinese culture, the game’s storyline and characters have proven difficult to understand for foreign players. For instance, a player shared on social media that their lack of familiarity with Journey to the West led to them consistently missing hidden treasures, finally resulting in repeated failures during a boss fight in Chapter 2. Meanwhile, some players feel overwhelmed by names like Erlang Shen and Lingxuzi, which can be difficult to pronounce for those unfamiliar with pinyin.
To bridge these cultural divides, one enthusiast wrote a 200-page outline detailing Sun Wukong’s abilities across all 100 chapters of Journey to the West. Many others immersed themselves in the story by checking out TV shows, anime and online forums.
Through this process, western players have not only improved their gaming skills but also developed a deeper appreciation for Sun Wukong and Journey to the West. “Although many people might compare Sun Wukong to Western superheroes, I believe they are different,” said Patrick from the US. “Sun Wukong has a carefree and independent nature, unlimited by the need to set a good example for others like Spider-Man, who by contrast follows principles like ’with great power comes great responsibility’.”
Journey to the West offers a comprehensive narrative that covers a very dangerous journey, numerous encounters and the exploration of various cultures, making it a rich source for diverse storytelling types and cultural backgrounds. Perhaps these are some of the key reasons why Journey to the West has been translated into over a dozen languages, with more than 60 versions available worldwide.
8. What is the Destined One in paragraph 2?
A. The fictional main character of the game.
B. The nickname of Sun Wukong in the game.
C. One of the adventures to collect the six Relics.
D. One of the six Relics belonging to the Celestial Court.
9. What does the underlined word “bridge” in paragraph 4 most likely mean?
A. Take control of. B. Get rid of.
C. Lose track of. D. Take advantage of.
10 What can be learned about the game from the passage?
A. It has gradually gained popularity among players worldwide.
B. Its original character Sun Wukong is similar to western superheroes.
C. It is hard for foreign players due to their unfamiliarity with Chinese culture.
D. It has been translated into many languages with numerous versions available worldwide.
11. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. A Chinese hit video game and its original novel Journey to the West.
B. Reasons behind the success of Chinese video game Black Myth: Wukong.
C. The benefits Black Myth: Wukong brings to the spread of Chinese culture.
D. The cultural impact and western players’ reception of a Chinese hit video game.

Jennifer DeStefano answered a call from an unknown number only to hear a man threatening her 15-year-old daughter’s life and demanding money, as well as the sound of her daughter crying for help. But while she kept him on the phone, her friends managed to reach her daughter, discovering that she was, in fact, free and well on a skiing trip in Arizona. The voice used on the phone was cloned.
A brief sample (样本) of a voice can be used to train an AI model, which can then speak any given text sounding like that person. Now the dangers are starting to be talked aloud.
ElevenLabs, an AI start-up, offers users the chance to create their own clones in minutes and the results are disturbingly accurate. When generating a playback, the system allows users to choose between variability and stability (稳定性). Select “variability”, and the voice will have a lifelike intonation (语调), including pauses like “er...”. Choose “stability”, and it will come across more like a calm and unemotional newsreader. Taylor Jones, a linguist and consultant, took a careful look at the quality of ElevenLabs’s clone of his voice in a video. A low-tech test, a “conversation” with his own mother, fooled the woman who raised him.
For several years, customers have been able to identify themselves over the phone to their bank and other companies using their voice. This was a security upgrade, not a danger. Not even a gifted voice actor could fool the detection system. But now the banks are forced to change in order to prevent crime.
Creative industries could face trouble. Voice actors’ skills, trained over a lifetime, can be copied in seconds. But some actors may, in fact, find cloning congenial. One actor, who has lost much of his voice to throat cancer, was delighted to have his voice restored for his new movie. Others may be spared the trouble of heading for the studio for retakes. Another industry that will have to deal with the rise of clones is journalism. Secret recordings have long been the contributor to the big news. Now who will trust a story based on an audio clip (音频片段)?
12. How does the author lead in the topic?
A. By telling a story. B. By explaining a concept.
C. By making a guess. D. By making a comparison.
13. Why is Taylor Jones mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To analyze the use of voice cloning. B. To draw readers’ attention to AI.
C. To prove ElevenLabs’s achievements. D. To show the danger of voice cloning.
14. What does the underlined word “congenial” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Annoying. B. Shocking. C. Suitable. D. Inventive.
15. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. AI Technology: Good or Bad? B. AI-based Voice: A Potential Risk
C. Cloned Voice: Who to Blame? D. Voice Cloning: A New Phenomenon

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Just as many families do at a point, Catherine chose to add a new family member by adopting a pet. Shortly after her daughter Kate’s birth, Catherine decided she wanted a close bond (纽带) with a dog for Kate. Thus, Catherine called the dog shelter close by to inquire (问询) about adoption. After hearing about the available animals, she chose a Doberman Pinscher. Once they signed adoption papers, they named the dog Khan.
Catherine was hopeful this would provide valuable lessons for her baby, such as sharing, learning to love and responsibility to care for animals. She was looking forward to having the dog join the family.
Hearing of Khan’s rough background, Catherine immediately loved the dog. She was overjoyed to bring this special dog back to her family. Or course, she realized there were risks involved. Well, the obvious risks from bringing a large, potentially dangerous animal to her young baby, Catherine pushed them aside. If she had not adopted Khan, he would have been killed just a week later. So, this was his new life and second chance, and the family was hoping for the best.
Everything began smoothly. They trained Khan during the first few days. However, everything changed on that fourth day when the dog acted completely out of character.
The fateful (对未来有重大影响的) day began with the usual playtime in the yard. Although baby Kate had her parents watching from a distance, they did not notice anything out of the ordinary Kate and the new dog had been making a habit of playing out back like this. However, things were different this day.
So what was actually happening out there? The two were not being loud or crazy. They began running through the backyard grass together. Again, Catherine watched the two closely. Surprisingly, things had changed within an instant (一瞬间)!
注意:1.续写词数应为150词左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Khan began acting wildly all of a sudden.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Obviously, it was Khan who saved her baby but he barked weakly and then fell down with dying eyes.
