B An exhibition of paintings of ancient Chinese characters was held on July 13 in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, with the aim of promoting people-to-people and cultural exchanges. Based on the classic I Ching or The Book of Changes (《易经》), the display brought together the art of Ethiopia’s Dawit Muluneh and famous calligrapher Wu Jiuyi, who produced examples of calligraphy on the spot. Speaking at the event, its organizer Gossa Oda said the exhibition was an opportunity to showcase cultural commonalities and shared knowledge between the two countries. “In organizing this exhibition, I wanted to communicate the ancient mystery of I Ching, which helps improve connectivity between Ethiopia and China and promote their shared future. A shared future starts from shared knowledge,” said Oda, who is also the owner of the Medemer Africa Art and Sculpture Space, where the 64 paintings are housed. Oda said such an exhibition would strengthen people-to-people ties and cultural exchanges, stressing the importance of knowledge and civilizations for human development. The paintings describe the 64 divinatory (占卜的) symbols found in I Ching, which represent the day-to-day interaction between man and nature. “They are meant to share knowledge and feelings with visitors, and descriptions are written in Chinese, English and Amharic.” said Muluneh, who painted all 64 paintings in a year. He said the exhibition could be considered as a stepping-stone to promote cultural exchange and create mutual situations for common development between the people of China and Ethiopia. “The backgrounds of the paintings make use of Ethiopian styles and express the ideas of heaven, harvest, and relief, among others,” said Muluneh, who drew similarities and absorbed essential parts from the traditional arts of both countries. In an interview, Wu said that he was taken by surprise when he saw an Ethiopian artist painting Chinese characters. The exhibition attracted members of the Chinese community in Addis Ababa, Ethiopian artists and painters, and school children. 4. The exhibition held in Addis Ababa aims to ______. A promote Ethiopian art globally B. introduce the skills of Chinese calligraphy C. celebrate the cooperation between Dawit Muluneh and Wu Jiuyi D. enhance cultural communication between Ethiopia and China 5. What is Gossa Oda’s attitude towards the exhibition? A. Supportive. B. Negative. C. Unconcerned. D. Skeptical. 6. What does the underlined word “stepping-stone” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. A cultural symbol of paintings. B. A tool that can assist people in walking. C. An initial effort leading to further progress. D. A special stone used in Ethiopian art history. 7. In which column of a magazine can we read this passage? A. Technology Today. B. Cultural Fusion. C. Language Study. D. Literature Salon. C When it comes to poverty relief efforts in the developing world small is the new big. Consider Juncao, a group of wild grasses that have become one of China’s most significant contributions to the world’s sustainable development, with multiple uses being shared by people in 105 countries to help tackle food issues and desertification (沙漠化). Juncao, which literally means “the herbal plant for growing edible mushrooms”, has worked miracles for Chinese scientists who are cultivating it as a substrate (培养基) for growing edible and medicinal mushrooms or as food for livestock, as well as using it as green barrier to stop sand hills from advancing. China introduced the grass and its cultivation technology to Papua New Guinea more than 20 years ago to help local farmers raise livestock and grow edible mushrooms. “We hope we will help double the agricultural production capacity and farmers’ incomes in Papua New Guinea. We offer training at home and abroad, send our experts to teach local farmers, and we do serve them heart and soul as our brothers,” said Lin Zhanxi, a 79-year-old professor in Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University and the chief scientist for grass development. It’s been 35 years since Lin selected the grass species to replace wood as a substrate for growing mushrooms in East China’s Fujian Province, and this has saved a vast coverage of natural forest there. Through the years, Lin has developed 45 varieties of Juncao, which can be used to cultivate 55 mushroom species. Despite his age, Lin has often traveled afar to help people in developing countries learn about the benefits of this agricultural technology. “The first time I went to Papua New Guinea in 1997, I realized how people there were struggling with extreme poverty,” Lin said. At that time, a tribe chief knelt down before Lin to thank him for bringing the technique to save them from starvation. To his astonishment, the tribe people celebrated the whole night. Members of the team were so touched that they decided to stay and help the people shake off poverty. In a land without electricity or modern devices, the team members worked there for eight years to teach locals how to cultivate and use the grass. 8. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. When Juncao is discovered. B. What Juncao looks like. C. What Juncao is applied to. D. How Juncao evolves. 9. Why Juncao is introduced to Papua New Guinea? A. To relief its poverty. B. To develop new varieties. C. To tackle the issue of drought. D. To promote corn-growing technology. 10. How did people in Fujian grow mushrooms before Lin brought Juncao there? A. By adding more fertilizer. B. By using the wood as a substrate. C. By covering mushrooms with leaves. D. By taking chopped-up wild grass as a substrate. 11. Which of the following words can best describe Lin Zhanxi? A. Honest and strict. B. Generous and humorous. C. Confident and independent. D. Devoted and helpful. D Nobel committee recognized the transformative power of artificial intelligence (AI) in two of the prizes for 2024 - honoring pioneers of neural (神经系统的) networks in the physics prize, and the developers of computational tools to study and design proteins in the chemistry prize. But not all researchers are happy. Several physicists argued that the science underlying machine learning was not actually physics. “I like machine learning and artificial neural networks as much as the next person, but it’s hard to see that this is a physics discovery.” said Jonathan Pritchard, an astrophysicist at Imperial College London. Not everyone was troubled, however. “Hopfield and Hinton’s research brought together physics, math, computer science and neuroscience,” said Matt Strassler, a theoretical physicist at Harvard University, “In that sense, it belongs to all of these disciplines (学科).” Anil Ananthaswamy, a science writer based in Berkeley, pointed out that although the research cited by the Nobel committee might not be theoretical physics in the purest sense, it is rooted in techniques and concepts from physics, such as energy. But Anil also added, the connection with physics became more delicate in upcoming developments in machine learning, particularly in techniques that made neural networks easier to train. Computer science seemed to be completing its Nobel takeover the day after the physics prize announcement, when Demis Hassabis and John Jumper won half of the chemistry Nobel. The prize was a recognition of the innovative force of AI, but also of the steady gathering of knowledge in structural and computational biology. “It wasn’t just that we went to work, pressed the AI button, and then all went home,” Jumper said, “It was really an iterative (迭代的) process where we developed, we did research, we tried to find the right kind of combinations between what the community understood about proteins and how we built those insights into our architecture.” Since they were first awarded in 1901, the Nobels have often highlighted the impact of research on society, and have rewarded practical inventions, not only pure science. In this respect, this year’s prizes are not outliers. 12. What can we learn from Jonathan Pritchard’s words in Paragraph 2? A. He questioned the classification. B. He praised the organizers. C. He valued the new discovery in physics. D. He congratulated the winners. 13. What features Hopfield and Hinton’s research? A. It belongs to traditional physics. B. It lacks concepts from physics. C. It covers more techniques than concepts. D. It involves multiple disciplines. 14. Jumper said they made the achievement due to ______. A. the innovative research in AI B. the AI-powered iterative research C. the community-driven research D. the quick research supported by AI 15. Which sentence can serve as the title of this passage? A. Is It Too Late for AI to Win Nobels? B. Why Is the Physics Prize Awarded to AI? C. How Do This Year’s Nobels Reflect AI’s Role? D. Who Wins the Debate on This Year’s Nobels? 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10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。 It’s well-known by all the people to greet friends with a smile and a wave. When doing this, your face and body work together to show your friends that you are happy to see them. ____16____ Would someone tend to believe the look on your face or the way you behave? ____17____ They found that when a person is staring at your face, he might not believe what he sees if your body doesn’t match the feeling that your face shows. Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists. Previous study had showed that the tone of a person’s voice could be more important than the words spoken. For example, most people are more likely not to believe a person who says in a flat voice, “I’m so excited.” When talking about emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language, most scientists suspected that the face was more important. ____18____ They also showed pictures where angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodies. An angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips. ____19____ An angry body had arms back and shoulders at an angle, as if ready to fight. A scared body had arms forward and shoulders square, as if ready to fight back. These results told the researchers that mixed messages can confuse people. Even when people pay attention to the face, body language surely influences the emotion they read. So, your body language is important for telling people your feelings. ____20____ A. A scared face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth. B. Research on mixed message is a brand new area for scientists. C. It helps to avoid sending mixed messages if you want to be correctly understood. D. Recently, scientists have dealt with these questions. E. To test this, psychologists showed pictures of isolated angry faces and isolated scared bodies. F. Why is body language easily misunderstood in different culture backgrounds? G. However, what happens if your face and body send mixed messages? 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分25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。 In Las Vegas, one parent’s determination to help his daughter catch up on her reading has led to the ____21____ of a groundbreaking approach in educational technology.

Ever since she was a little girl, Lily had been interested in the art of public speaking. She would watch famous speeches on television and was amazed at the way the speakers could hold an audience attracted with their words. Even as a young girl, she knew that she wanted to do the same someday. As Lily grew older, her passion for public speaking only enhanced. She read books and attended workshops to learn everything she could about the subject. She practiced speaking in front of mirrors and even recorded herself to analyze her delivery and improve her technique. However, despite all of her hard work, Lily found herself struggling to connect with her audience. Her words were great and well-rehearsed (反复排练过的), but she felt that something was missing. It wasn’t until she came across a TED talk on body language that everything clicked into place. In the talk, the speaker discussed how our body language can convey just as much information as our words, sometimes even more so. A confident posture (姿势) and relaxed facial expression can signal confidence and certainty, while moving your body constantly or avoiding eye contact can reveal nervousness or discomfort. This realization led Lily to study body language and its impact on communication. Armed with this new knowledge, Lily began practicing her own body language skills and studying the techniques of other great speakers. She watched videos of famous speeches and analyzed how the speakers used their bodies to emphasize key points and connect with their audience. She practiced making eye contact and using hand gestures (手势) to emphasize important ideas. One day, Lily was invited to speak at a conference in front of a large audience. She had prepared her speech thoroughly and felt confident in her content, but she was nervous about how she would behave on stage. 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。 As she walked up to the podium (讲台), Lily reminded herself of the body language techniques she had learned. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the presentation, several people came up to Lily and praised her for her communication shills. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1.

Based on the classic I Ching or The Book of Changes (《易经》), the display brought together the art of Ethiopia’s Dawit Muluneh and famous calligrapher Wu Jiuyi, who produced examples of calligraphy on the spot. Speaking at the event, its organizer Gossa Oda said the exhibition was an opportunity to showcase cultural commonalities and shared knowledge between the two countries. “In organizing this exhibition, I wanted to communicate the ancient mystery of I Ching, which helps improve connectivity between Ethiopia and China and promote their shared future. A shared future starts from shared knowledge,” said Oda, who is also the owner of the Medemer Africa Art and Sculpture Space, where the 64 paintings are housed. Oda said such an exhibition would strengthen people-to-people ties and cultural exchanges, stressing the importance of knowledge and civilizations for human development. The paintings describe the 64 divinatory (占卜的) symbols found in I Ching, which represent the day-to-day interaction between man and nature. “They are meant to share knowledge and feelings with visitors, and descriptions are written in Chinese, English and Amharic.” said Muluneh, who painted all 64 paintings in a year. He said the exhibition could be considered as a stepping-stone to promote cultural exchange and create mutual situations for common development between the people of China and Ethiopia. “The backgrounds of the paintings make use of Ethiopian styles and express the ideas of heaven, harvest, and relief, among others,” said Muluneh, who drew similarities and absorbed essential parts from the traditional arts of both countries. In an interview, Wu said that he was taken by surprise when he saw an Ethiopian artist painting Chinese characters. The exhibition attracted members of the Chinese community in Addis Ababa, Ethiopian artists and painters, and school children. 4. The exhibition held in Addis Ababa aims to ______.

Consider Juncao, a group of wild grasses that have become one of China’s most significant contributions to the world’s sustainable development, with multiple uses being shared by people in 105 countries to help tackle food issues and desertification (沙漠化). Juncao, which literally means “the herbal plant for growing edible mushrooms”, has worked miracles for Chinese scientists who are cultivating it as a substrate (培养基) for growing edible and medicinal mushrooms or as food for livestock, as well as using it as green barrier to stop sand hills from advancing. China introduced the grass and its cultivation technology to Papua New Guinea more than 20 years ago to help local farmers raise livestock and grow edible mushrooms. “We hope we will help double the agricultural production capacity and farmers’ incomes in Papua New Guinea. We offer training at home and abroad, send our experts to teach local farmers, and we do serve them heart and soul as our brothers,” said Lin Zhanxi, a 79-year-old professor in Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University and the chief scientist for grass development. It’s been 35 years since Lin selected the grass species to replace wood as a substrate for growing mushrooms in East China’s Fujian Province, and this has saved a vast coverage of natural forest there. Through the years, Lin has developed 45 varieties of Juncao, which can be used to cultivate 55 mushroom species. Despite his age, Lin has often traveled afar to help people in developing countries learn about the benefits of this agricultural technology. “The first time I went to Papua New Guinea in 1997, I realized how people there were struggling with extreme poverty,” Lin said. At that time, a tribe chief knelt down before Lin to thank him for bringing the technique to save them from starvation. To his astonishment, the tribe people celebrated the whole night. Members of the team were so touched that they decided to stay and help the people shake off poverty. In a land without electricity or modern devices, the team members worked there for eight years to teach locals how to cultivate and use the grass. 8. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. When Juncao is discovered. B. What Juncao looks like. C. What Juncao is applied to. D. How Juncao evolves. 9. Why Juncao is introduced to Papua New Guinea? A. To relief its poverty. B. To develop new varieties. C. To tackle the issue of drought. D. To promote corn-growing technology. 10. How did people in Fujian grow mushrooms before Lin brought Juncao there? A. By adding more fertilizer. B. By using the wood as a substrate. C. By covering mushrooms with leaves. D. By taking chopped-up wild grass as a substrate. 11. Which of the following words can best describe Lin Zhanxi? A. Honest and strict. B. Generous and humorous. C. Confident and independent. D. Devoted and helpful. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了菌草对于沙漠化，食物温饱等方面有十分明显的重要作用，文章还介绍了林占熺去Papua New Guinea，帮助当地人改进农业技术。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Juncao, which literally means “the herbal plant for growing edible mushrooms”, has worked miracles for Chinese scientists who are cultivating it as a substrate (培养基) for growing edible and medicinal mushrooms or as food for livestock, as well as using it as green barrier to stop sand hills from advancing.(菌草，字面意思是“种植食用菌的草本植物”，为中国科学家创造了奇迹，他们将其作为种植食用菌和药用蘑菇的基质或牲畜的食物，并将其用作阻止沙丘前进的绿色屏障)”可知，第二段主要讲述了菌草的用途。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“We hope we will help double the agricultural production capacity and farmers’ incomes in Papua New Guinea.(我们希望我们能帮助巴布亚新几内亚将农业生产能力和农民收入提高一倍)”可知，引进菌草主要目的是缓解农民的贫困。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“It’s been 35 years since Lin selected the grass species to replace wood as a substrate for growing mushrooms in East China’s Fujian Province, and this has saved a vast coverage of natural forest there.(35年前，林在中国东部的福建省选择了草种来代替木材作为种植蘑菇的基质，这挽救了那里大片的天然林)”可知，在福建，曾经的农民是用木材作为种植蘑菇的基材的。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““We hope we will help double the agricultural production capacity and farmers’ incomes in Papua New Guinea. We offer training at home and abroad, send our experts to teach local farmers, and we do serve them heart and soul as our brothers,” said Lin Zhanxi, a 79-year-old professor in Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University and the chief scientist for grass development.(“我们希望我们将帮助巴布亚新几内亚的农业生产能力和农民收入翻一番。我们在国内和国外提供培训，派我们的专家去教当地农民，我们全心全意地为他们服务，就像我们的兄弟一样，”福建农林大学79岁的教授、草业发展首席科学家林占熺说)”以及最后一段“Despite his age, Lin has often traveled afar to help people in developing countries learn about the benefits of this agricultural technology.(尽管年事已高，林还是经常远道而来，帮助发展中国家的人们了解这种农业技术的好处)”可知，林占熺有奉献精神且乐于助人。故选D。 D Nobel committee recognized the transformative power of artificial intelligence (AI) in two of the prizes for 2024 - honoring pioneers of neural (神经系统的) networks in the physics prize, and the developers of computational tools to study and design proteins in the chemistry prize. But not all researchers are happy. Several physicists argued that the science underlying machine learning was not actually physics. “I like machine learning and artificial neural networks as much as the next person, but it’s hard to see that this is a physics discovery.” said Jonathan Pritchard, an astrophysicist at Imperial College London. Not everyone was troubled, however. “Hopfield and Hinton’s research brought together physics, math, computer science and neuroscience,” said Matt Strassler, a theoretical physicist at Harvard University, “In that sense, it belongs to all of these disciplines (学科).” Anil Ananthaswamy, a science writer based in Berkeley, pointed out that although the research cited by the Nobel committee might not be theoretical physics in the purest sense, it is rooted in techniques and concepts from physics, such as energy. But Anil also added, the connection with physics became more delicate in upcoming developments in machine learning, particularly in techniques that made neural networks easier to train. Computer science seemed to be completing its Nobel takeover the day after the physics prize announcement, when Demis Hassabis and John Jumper won half of the chemistry Nobel. The prize was a recognition of the innovative force of AI, but also of the steady gathering of knowledge in structural and computational biology. “It wasn’t just that we went to work, pressed the AI button, and then all went home,” Jumper said, “It was really an iterative (迭代的) process where we developed, we did research, we tried to find the right kind of combinations between what the community understood about proteins and how we built those insights into our architecture.” Since they were first awarded in 1901, the Nobels have often highlighted the impact of research on society, and have rewarded practical inventions, not only pure science. In this respect, this year’s prizes are not outliers. 12. What can we learn from Jonathan Pritchard’s words in Paragraph 2? A. He questioned the classification. B. He praised the organizers. C. He valued the new discovery in physics. D. He congratulated the winners. 13. What features Hopfield and Hinton’s research? A. It belongs to traditional physics. B. It lacks concepts from physics. C. It covers more techniques than concepts. D. It involves multiple disciplines. 14. Jumper said they made the achievement due to ______. A. the innovative research in AI B. the AI-powered iterative research C. the community-driven research D. the quick research supported by AI 15. Which sentence can serve as the title of this passage? A. Is It Too Late for AI to Win Nobels? B. Why Is the Physics Prize Awarded to AI? C. How Do This Year’s Nobels Reflect AI’s Role? D. Who Wins the Debate on This Year’s Nobels? 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了2024年诺贝尔委员会在物理学奖和化学奖中认可了人工智能（AI）的变革性力量，并对此进行了相关评论和讨论。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段““I like machine learning and artificial neural networks as much as the next person, but it’s hard to see that this is a physics discovery.” said Jonathan Pritchard, an astrophysicist at Imperial College London. (“我和其他人一样喜欢机器学习和人工神经网络，但很难将其视为一项物理学发现。”伦敦帝国理工学院的天体物理学家Jonathan Pritchard说道。)”可知，他和其他人一样喜欢机器学习和人工神经网络，但很难将其视为一项物理学发现。这说明他对将其归为物理学领域的分类提出了质疑。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段““Hopfield and Hinton’s research brought together physics, math, computer science and neuroscience,” said Matt Strassler, a theoretical physicist at Harvard University, “In that sense, it belongs to all of these disciplines (学科).” (哈佛大学的理论物理学家Matt Strassler说：“霍普菲尔德和辛顿的研究将物理学、数学、计算机科学和神经科学融合在一起，从这个意义上说，它属于所有这些学科。”)”可知，霍普菲尔德和辛顿的研究将物理学、数学、计算机科学和神经科学融合在了一起。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段““It wasn’t just that we went to work, pressed the AI button, and then all went home,” Jumper said, “It was really an iterative (迭代的) process where we developed, we did research, we tried to find the right kind of combinations between what the community understood about proteins and how we built those insights into our architecture.” (Jumper说：“这可不是我们去上班，按下人工智能按钮，然后就都回家那么简单。这实际上是一个迭代的过程，我们不断发展、开展研究，努力在科学界对蛋白质的理解和如何将这些见解融入我们的架构之间找到合适的结合点。”)”可知，他们是通过以人工智能为助力的迭代研究过程取得了成就，即在不断发展和研究的迭代过程中结合了对蛋白质的理解和架构构建。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章开篇指出诺贝尔委员会在2024年的两项诺贝尔奖中认可了人工智能的变革力量，物理学奖和化学奖都与人工智能相关，但并非所有研究人员都满意；接着提到一些物理学家对将机器学习相关研究归为物理学领域提出质疑，也有人认为该研究融合了多学科；还讲述了化学奖得主的研究过程；最后说明诺贝尔奖常强调研究对社会的影响，今年的奖项并非特例。整体围绕今年诺贝尔奖中人工智能所扮演的角色展开。选项C“How Do This Year’s Nobels Reflect AI’s Role? (今年的诺贝尔奖如何体现人工智能的作用？)”准确概括了文章的主要内容，文章就是在阐述今年的物理学奖和化学奖中人工智能所发挥的作用以及由此引发的一些讨论。故选C。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10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。 It’s well-known by all the people to greet friends with a smile and a wave. When doing this, your face and body work together to show your friends that you are happy to see them. ____16____ Would someone tend to believe the look on your face or the way you behave? ____17____ They found that when a person is staring at your face, he might not believe what he sees if your body doesn’t match the feeling that your face shows. Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists. Previous study had showed that the tone of a person’s voice could be more important than the words spoken. For example, most people are more likely not to believe a person who says in a flat voice, “I’m so excited.” When talking about emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language, most scientists suspected that the face was more important. ____18____ They also showed pictures where angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodies. An angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips. ____19____ An angry body had arms back and shoulders at an angle, as if ready to fight. A scared body had arms forward and shoulders square, as if ready to fight back. These results told the researchers that mixed messages can confuse people. Even when people pay attention to the face, body language surely influences the emotion they read. So, your body language is important for telling people your feelings. ____20____ A. A scared face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth. B. Research on mixed message is a brand new area for scientists. C. It helps to avoid sending mixed messages if you want to be correctly understood. D. Recently, scientists have dealt with these questions. E. To test this, psychologists showed pictures of isolated angry faces and isolated scared bodies. F. Why is body language easily misunderstood in different culture backgrounds? G. However, what happens if your face and body send mixed messages? 【答案】16. G 17. D 18. E 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了面部表情和身体语言在传达情感时的作用，以及当它们发出混合信息时可能产生的困惑。 【16题详解】 根据上文“It’s well-known by all the people to greet friends with a smile and a wave. When doing this, your face and body work together to show your friends that you are happy to see them.(用微笑和挥手向朋友打招呼是大家都熟知方式。当你这样做时，你的脸和身体协同合作，向你的朋友表明你很高兴见到他们。)”可知，上文提到用微笑和挥手向朋友打招呼时，脸和身体协同表达见到朋友的开心。而下文“Would someone tend to believe the look on your face or the way you behave?(别人会更倾向于相信你脸上的表情还是你的行为方式呢？)”则提出问题。说明此处应引出脸和身体传达的信息不一致的情况。选项G“However, what happens if your face and body send mixed messages?(然而，如果你的脸和身体发出了不一致的信息会怎样呢？)”符合语境，起到承上启下的作用。故选G。 【17题详解】 根据下文“They found that when a person is staring at your face, he might not believe what he sees if your body doesn’t match the feeling that your face shows. Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists. Previous study had showed that the tone of a person’s voice could be more important than the words spoken.(他们发现，当一个人盯着你的脸时，如果你的身体表现与脸上的表情所传达的感受不匹配，他可能就不会相信所看到的。对科学家来说，研究这种混合信息并不是什么新鲜事。此前的研究表明，一个人说话的语调可能比所说的话更重要。)”可知，下文讲述了科学家的发现，即当一个人盯着你的脸时，如果你的身体表现与脸上的表情所传达的感受不匹配，他可能就不会相信所看到的。这表明科学家对前文提出的问题进行了研究。选项D“Recently, scientists have dealt with these questions.(最近，科学家们已经着手研究这些问题了。)”最近，科学家们已经着手研究这些问题了。故选D。 【18题详解】 根据上文“When talking about emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language, most scientists suspected that the face was more important.(当谈到面部表情和肢体语言所传达的情感时，大多数科学家怀疑面部更重要。)”可知，上文提到大多数科学家怀疑面部表情在传达情感方面更重要；而下文“They also showed pictures where angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodies.(他们还展示了愤怒或惊恐的脸与愤怒或惊恐的身体搭配的图片。)”则指出他们还展示了愤怒或惊恐的脸与愤怒或惊恐的身体搭配的图片。选项E“To test this, psychologists showed pictures of isolated angry faces and isolated scared bodies.(为了验证这一点，心理学家展示了单独的愤怒表情和单独的惊恐身体的图片)”既承接了前文科学家的怀疑，又引出了后文展示图片的内容，符合逻辑。故选E。 【19题详解】 根据上文“An angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips.(愤怒的脸眉毛低垂，嘴唇紧闭。)”可知，上文描述了愤怒的脸的特征；而下文“An angry body had arms back and shoulders at an angle, as if ready to fight. A scared body had arms forward and shoulders square, as if ready to fight back.(愤怒的身体双臂后摆，肩膀呈一定角度，就好像准备好要打架一样。惊恐的身体双臂前伸，肩膀方正，就好像准备好反击一样。)”则描述了愤怒的身体的特征。选项A“A scared face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth.(惊恐的脸眉毛上扬，嘴巴微微张开。)”描述了惊恐的脸的特征，与前文愤怒的脸和后文惊恐的身体形成对应。故选A。 【20题详解】 根据上文“These results told the researchers that mixed messages can confuse people. Even when people pay attention to the face, body language surely influences the emotion they read. So, your body language is important for telling people your feelings.(这些结果告诉研究人员，混合信息会让人困惑。即使人们关注脸部，肢体语言也肯定会影响他们解读到的情感。所以，你的肢体语言对于向人们表达你的感受很重要。)”可知，上文强调了混合信息会让人困惑，即使人们关注脸部，肢体语言也会影响他们解读到的情感，所以身体语言对于表达感受很重要。选项C“It helps to avoid sending mixed messages if you want to be correctly understood.(如果你想被正确理解，它有助于避免发出混合信息。)”是对前文内容的合理总结和升华，强调了身体语言在避免信息混淆方面的重要性。故选C。 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分25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。 In Las Vegas, one parent’s determination to help his daughter catch up on her reading has led to the ____21____ of a groundbreaking approach in educational technology.

Ever since she was a little girl, Lily had been interested in the art of public speaking. She would watch famous speeches on television and was amazed at the way the speakers could hold an audience attracted with their words. Even as a young girl, she knew that she wanted to do the same someday. As Lily grew older, her passion for public speaking only enhanced. She read books and attended workshops to learn everything she could about the subject. She practiced speaking in front of mirrors and even recorded herself to analyze her delivery and improve her technique. However, despite all of her hard work, Lily found herself struggling to connect with her audience. Her words were great and well-rehearsed (反复排练过的), but she felt that something was missing. It wasn’t until she came across a TED talk on body language that everything clicked into place. In the talk, the speaker discussed how our body language can convey just as much information as our words, sometimes even more so. A confident posture (姿势) and relaxed facial expression can signal confidence and certainty, while moving your body constantly or avoiding eye contact can reveal nervousness or discomfort. This realization led Lily to study body language and its impact on communication. Armed with this new knowledge, Lily began practicing her own body language skills and studying the techniques of other great speakers. She watched videos of famous speeches and analyzed how the speakers used their bodies to emphasize key points and connect with their audience. She practiced making eye contact and using hand gestures (手势) to emphasize important ideas. One day Lily was invited to speak at a conference in front of a large audience. She had prepared her speech thoroughly and felt confident in her content, but she was nervous about how she would behave on stage. 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。 As she walked up to the podium (讲台), Lily reminded herself of the body language techniques she had learned. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the presentation, several people came up to Lily and praised her for her communication shills. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 As she walked up to the podium(讲台), Lily reminded herself of the body language techniques he had learned. She stood up straight, made eye contact with the audience, and used hand gestures to emphasize her points. As she began to speak, Lily noticed that the audience was paying close attention to her. They were leaning forward in their seats, nodding their heads, and taking notes. Lily felt a sense of energy and connection with the audience that she had never experienced before. After the presentation, several people came up to Lily and praised her for her communication skills. They said that they had been impressed by her poise, confidence, and ability to engage the audience. Lily was thrilled—she knew that her body language had played a significant role in her success. Over the next few months, Lily continued to develop her body language skills and became known as an expert in public speaking. She was invited to speak at more conferences, and her presentations received high praise from audiences and fellow speakers alike. Lily learned that body language is a powerful tool that can influence how we are perceived by others. Whether we’re giving a speech or having a conversation, body language is an essential part of effective communication. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达是读后续写。本文以人物为线索展开。莉莉从小就对公众演讲的艺术很感兴趣。并且不断学习别人的演讲技巧。一天，莉莉应邀在一个会议上对着一大群听众讲话。她对自己的演讲做了充分的准备，对自己的内容很有信心，但她对自己在舞台上的表现感到紧张。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“当她走上讲台时，莉莉提醒自己她学过的肢体语言技巧。”可知，第一段可以描写莉莉演讲时运用了肢体语言，和台下听众的神态。 ②由第二段句首内容“演讲结束后，几个人走到莉莉面前，称赞她的沟通技巧。”可知，第二段可以描写莉莉演讲后人们称赞她的话，莉莉的被称赞时的表情、动作、自我总结和之后的发展情况，最后升华文章的主旨：无论我们是在演讲还是交谈，肢体语言都是有效沟通的重要组成部分。 2.续写线索：运用了肢体语言—被密切关注—演讲结束—被称赞—自我总结—被邀约—感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①强调：emphasize/stress/ highlight ②走近：come up to/walk up to ③被邀请发言：be invited to speak/be asked to speak 情绪类 ①感觉精力充沛：feel a sense of energy/feel energized ②兴奋的：thrilled/excited 【点睛】【高分句型1】As she began to speak, Lily noticed that the audience was paying close attention to her.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句和that引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】Lily felt a sense of energy and connection with the audience that she had never experienced before.（运用了that引导的定语从句） 【高分句型3】Lily learned that body language is a powerful tool that can influence how we are perceived by others. （运用了第一个that引导的宾语从句、第二个that引导的定语从句） 听力1.
