(该展览邀请国际艺术家探索自然世界中充满惊奇和好奇心的精彩瞬间，捕捉那些激发人们反思的风景、植物和动物之美)”可知，Wandering in Nature的特色是关注自然世界。故选C。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Fantastic Fibers中的“Event Dates: March 26, 2024 — May 9, 2024 (活动日期：2024年3月26日 — 2024年5月9日)”和Molten中的“Event Dates: March 21, 2024 — May 2, 2024(活动日期：2024年3月21日 — 2024年5月2日)”可知，四月初是参观Fantastic Fibers和Molten这两个展览的最佳时候。故选B。 B “Well, Amy, how are you getting on with your napkin (手帕)?” cried Lizzy, whose swift fingers seemed to fly over her work. “Not very fast,” replied quiet little Amy, without raising her eyes. “I have almost finished one side.” “One side!” said Lizzy, with a laugh which was neither pleasant nor kind. “Why? We both began hemming (缝褶边) our napkins at the same time and I’m now at the fourth side of mine!” “I know that I am slow,” sighed Amy. “You may well say that!” cried Lizzy. “But I’ll try to be steady and to do my best,” said the little girl, as she threaded her tiny needle and went on with her work. “As I sew so fast,” cried Lizzy. “I am sure to have finished my napkin long before the bell rings for dinner. I’ll just run for a minute to the garden to see if the roses are out.” Tossing down her work on a chair, Lizzy flew off. Amy longed for the fresh air and the flowers but her work must first be done. Steadily she laid down her broad hem and had finished the second side of her napkin before her sister came back. “Ah, you plodding little thing!” cried Lizzy. “You will never get up to me. I’ll have time to go to my room and put my new picture on the wall.” Off went gay little Lizzy. Amy went on with her work. Before her sister again entered the room, the third side of her napkin was hemmed. “Had you not better finish your sewing?” said Amy. “It must be near dinner-time now.” “Oh! I can finish it in two minutes. Only I want to look at that story, which Tom told us was so amusing.”“But if you are late?” “No fear of that!” cried Lizzy. “No one is so likely to be late as a slow little creature like you!” Poor Amy made no reply. Stitch after stitch, stitch after stitch, quietly she worked on. Lizzy was soon so deep in her story that she forgot all about her work, till startled by the sound of the bell. “Can it be dinner-time!” she cried. “Oh dear, and my napkin is not hemmed! And yours?” Lizzy stared at Amy. “It is just finished,” said Amy, as she quietly folded it up. “This just like ‘The Hare and the Tortoise’.” thought Lizzy, who, though impolite and vain (自负的), had enough of sense to take a lesson. Quickness may have the start, but the quiet, steady worker does most in the end. 24. Why did Lizzy cry at Amy at the beginning of the story? A. To arouse Amy’s interest in her. B. To warn Amy of the coming danger. C. To express her regret about not following Amy. D. To show her dissatisfaction with Amy. 25. What does the underlined phrase “tossing down” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Taking up. B. Picking out. C. Laying aside. D. Picking up. 26. What can we infer from “her tiny needle” in Paragraph 2 and “her broad hem” in Paragraph 3? A. To stress the challenge of the task. B. To emphasize the importance of the task. C. To show the simplicity of the task. D. To present the flexibility of the task. 27. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. Kind and Pleasant B. Speedy and Steady C. Tiny but Broad D. Quiet but Humorous 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，通过讲述Amy和Lizzy缝手帕的故事，对比两人不同的工作态度，揭示了稳重与急躁的不同结果。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中““Not very fast,” replied quiet little Amy, without raising her eyes. “I have almost finished one side.” “One side!” said Lizzy, with a laugh which was neither pleasant nor kind. “Why? We both began hemming our napkins at the same time and I’m now at the fourth side of mine!”(“不快，”文静的Amy没有抬头，回答说，“我都快缝完一面了。”“一面！”Lizzy笑着说，既不太友好也不亲切。“为什么？我们明明是同时开始缝手帕的，可我都缝到第四面了。”)”可知，Lizzy嘲笑Amy速度慢，由此可推断她对Amy的进度不满意，所以才对Amy大喊，故选D项。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段中““I am sure to have finished my napkin long before the bell rings for dinner. I’ll just run for a minute to the garden to see if the roses are out.” Tossing down her work on a chair, Lizzy flew off.(“我肯定能在晚餐铃响之前很久就把手帕缝好。我就跑去花园看一眼玫瑰开了没有。”Lizzy把手中的活Tossing down在椅子上，飞奔而去)”可知此处提到了椅子，还提到了Lizzy跑开了，可推理出“tossing down”意思是“放下，搁置”，与“laying aside(把……放在一边，搁置)”意思相近，故选C项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中““But I’ll try to be steady and to do my best,” said the little girl, as she threaded her tiny needle and went on with her work.(“但我会努力保持稳定并尽我最大的努力，”小女孩说道，她穿好细小的针线后，继续埋头工作)”以及第三段中“Steadily she laid down her broad hem and had finished the second side of her napkin before her sister came back.(她稳稳地缝着宽大的褶边，在姐姐回来之前就已经缝完了手帕的第二面)”可知，“her tiny needle”表明Amy使用的针很细小，操作难度大；“her broad hem”说明她要缝的褶边很宽，这些细节是为了突出缝制手帕这项任务的难度和挑战性，故选A项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，文章讲述了Amy和Lizzy两人缝制手帕的故事，其中Amy虽然速度慢但稳定，最终完成了任务，而Lizzy虽然速度快但缺乏稳定性，最终未能按时完成。结合最后一段“Quickness may have the start, but the quiet, steady worker does most in the end(动作快或许能占得先机，但沉稳踏实的人最终完成的工作量更多)”可知，文章体现了速度快和做事稳两种不同做事方式的对比。故选项B“Speedy and Steady(快速与稳定)”最能概括文章的主旨，最适合作为标题，故选B项。 C Bzzz. Oh no — a mosquito. Have you ever wondered how these small insects are so good at finding you? A new study has identified one way they home in on us. It’s visual. Mosquitoes just like the look of our skin. Claire Rusch and her colleagues have been working to uncover ways to avoid mosquito bites. And this biologist knows plenty about that. After all, while studying mosquitoes, “you get bitten a lot,” she notes. “It’s not easy to work with an animal that feeds on you.” A bite from a disease-carrying mosquito can be more than annoying, though. Rusch and her team just discovered something that could help drive these mosquitoes away. The Aedes aegypti mosquitoes that Rusch studies are attracted to a few colors, especially ones with long wavelengths of light. We see these colors — the same wavelengths given off by human skin — as red. That finding could lead to the design of better traps to keep mosquitoes away from people. Anyone stuck in a room with a mosquito knows they are very good at finding you. These insects can detect the carbon dioxide or CO2 we breathe out. They also are attracted to sweat, body warmth and contrasting colors. But until now scientists didn’t know that mosquitoes could detect specific colors. “I found their research results surprising and very interesting,” says Trevor Sorrells, a mosquito neuroscientist. The new research shows mosquitoes can see red light and tell that it is different from other colors. “This is important,” he notes, “because all human skin tones (肤色) reflect red light better than other colors. So mosquitoes can use it to locate human skin.” Next time you’re out where mosquitoes might be present, don’t forget the bug spray (蚊虫喷雾剂). And that red shirt? You might want to leave it at home. 28. How do mosquitoes locate their potential victims? A. By smelling. B. By seeing. C. By tasting. D. By touching. 29. According to Paragraph 2, it can be inferred that ________. A. a bite from a mosquito can be deadly B. Rusch and her team are working to find how mosquitoes bite C. wavelengths given off by human skin are long ones D. the studied mosquitoes favor colors of short wavelengths light 30. What does the new research tell us? A. We can get rid of mosquitoes by contrasting colors. B. Sweat and body temperature appeal to mosquitoes. C. The carbon dioxide we breathe out drives mosquitoes away. D. A certain color can be noticed by mosquitoes. 31. What is the text? A. A biography. B. A book review. C. A science report. D. A short story. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于蚊子如何定位人类以及对某种颜色偏好的新研究。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Bzzz. Oh, no — a mosquito. Have you ever wondered how these small insects are so good at finding you? A new study has identified one way they home in on us. It’s visual. Mosquitoes just like the look of our skin. (Bzzz。哦，不——一只蚊子。你有没有想过这些小昆虫是如何如此擅长找到你的？一项新的研究已经确定了它们瞄准我们的一种方式。它的视觉。蚊子就喜欢我们的皮肤颜色)”可知，蚊子通过视觉来确定潜在的受害者。故选B。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The Aedes aegypti mosquitoes that Rusch studies are attracted to a few colors, especially ones with long wavelengths of light. We see these colors — the same wavelengths given off by human skin — as red. (Rusch研究的埃及伊蚊被几种颜色所吸引，尤其是那些具有长波长的颜色。我们看到的这些颜色——与人类皮肤发出的波长相同——是红色)”可知，埃及伊蚊喜欢长波长的颜色，人类皮肤发出的波长和它们喜欢的颜色是同一波长。由此推知，人类皮肤发出的波长是长的。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The new research shows mosquitoes can see red light and tell that it is different from other colors. (新的研究表明，蚊子可以看到红光，并能分辨出它与其他颜色的不同)”可知，蚊子可以分辨红光和其他颜色的不同，也就是蚊子能察觉到特定颜色。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其最后一段“The new research shows mosquitoes can see red light and tell that it is different from other colors. “This is important,” he notes, “because all human skin tones (肤色) reflect red light better than other colors. So mosquitoes can use it to locate human skin.” Next time you’re out where mosquitoes might be present, don’t forget the bug spray (蚊虫喷雾剂). And that red shirt? You might want to leave it at home. (新的研究表明，蚊子可以看到红光，并能分辨出它与其他颜色的不同。“这很重要，”他指出，“因为所有人的肤色都比其他颜色更能反射红光。所以蚊子可以用它来定位人类的皮肤。”下次你去蚊子可能出没的地方时，别忘了喷洒杀虫剂。那件红衬衫呢？你最好把它留在家里)”可知，本文是关于蚊子的科学研究。由此推知，本文最有可能是一篇科学报告。故选C。 D On 26 February 2024, China Media Group(CMG)aired the country’s first animated series produced with the help of generative artificial intelligence(AI)models. Titled Qianqiu Shisong, the series includes multiple seven-minute episodes and features animated retellings of some of the most famous classic Chinese poems and their backstories. Its contents are drawn from more than 200 time-honored Chinese poems that are found in primary, secondary and higher education textbooks. The show was produced using CMG Media GPT, an AI model co-developed by CMG and Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory(SAIL). According to the laboratory, AI technology was used in every stage of Qianqiu Shisong’s production process, from art design to video generation and post-production. CMG Media GPT was trained by being fed with large amounts of data from CMG’s previous poem-relevant programs, enabling it to create images and scenes that represent the style of traditional Chinese ink-wash paintings and feature historically accurate architectural designs and clothing details. CMG Media GPT has significantly cut down on the time and costs of animation production. “AI will not replace humans but will increase humans’ working efficiency. For example, our team used to make one episode each month, but now we can make three episodes each month with the assistance of AI,” says the director of Qianqiu Shisong. Following the putonghua version, an English-dubbed(英文配音的)version of the series titled Poems of Timeless Acclaim was aired online in March. The series will also be made available in other languages. On Chinese social media, some netizens comment that Qianqiu Shisong is a valuable opportunity to practice China’s AI technology. Others say that AI-generated animation is a smart approach to popularizing Chinese culture as the advanced technology can inject new life into ancient poetry. 32. What can we learn about Qianqiu Shisong from Paragraph1? A. It’s the first animated series throughout the world. B. It consists of some of well-known classic poems in China. C. Its contents are chosen from Western poetry classics. D. It’s produced by artificial intelligent models alone. 33. What was the function of CMG Media GPT in producing the series? A. It was used to process animation production. B. It was used to train netizens to appreciate poems. C. It was used to analyze contemporary poems. D. It was used to create images and scenes of modern China. 34. What does CMG Media GPT contribute to? A. Arousing public interest in poems greatly. B. Adding the time to produce to a larger degree. C. Taking the place of human beings completely. D. Reducing the cost of producing dramatically. 35. Which of the following best describes Chinese netizens’ attitudes towards QianQiu Shi-Song? A. Indifferent B. Neutral C. Approving D. Doubtful 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，介绍了2024年2月26日中国媒体集团（CMG）播出的首部由生成式人工智能模型辅助制作的动画系列片《千秋诗颂》，包括其内容、制作过程中使用的CMG Media GPT的功能、带来的影响以及中国网友对它的态度。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Titled Qianqiu Shisong, the series includes multiple seven - minute episodes and features animated retellings of some of the most famous classic Chinese poems and their backstories. (名为《千秋诗颂》的这部动画系列包含多个7分钟的剧集，以动画形式讲述了一些中国最著名的古典诗歌及其背后的故事)”可知，《千秋诗颂》包含了一些中国著名的古典诗歌，故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“According to the laboratory, AI technology was used in every stage of Qianqiu Shisong’s production process, from art design to video generation and post - production. (据实验室称，从艺术设计到视频生成再到后期制作，AI技术被用于《千秋诗颂》制作过程的每个阶段)”可知，CMG Media GPT被用于动画制作过程，故选A项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“CMG Media GPT has significantly cut down on the time and costs of animation production. (CMG Media GPT大大降低了动画制作的时间和成本)”可知，CMG Media GPT极大地降低了制作成本，故选D项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“On Chinese social media, some netizens comment that Qianqiu Shisong is a valuable opportunity to practice China’s AI technology. Others say that AI - generated animation is a smart approach to popularizing Chinese culture as the advanced technology can inject new life into ancient poetry. (在中国社交媒体上，一些网民评论说《千秋诗颂》是实践中国AI技术的宝贵机会。其他人说，人工智能生成的动画是普及中国文化的明智方法，因为先进的技术可以为古代诗歌注入新的活力)”可知网民认为《千秋诗颂》是实践中国AI技术的宝贵机会，还有网民说人工智能生成的动画是普及中国文化的明智方法，可推理出网民对《千秋诗颂》的态度是认可的，故选C项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Three Major World Sports Events With an increasing number of people taking part in sports today, more large sports events are being held all around the world than ever before. ____36____ They offer the most opportunities for competition and collaboration.

The 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了茶和咖啡植物的产地、特征及茶叶的制作过程。 【56题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：茶是一种生长在中国、日本以及印度一些地区的常绿植物的叶子。本空引导定语从句，先行词是an evergreen plant，指物，关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which或that引导。故填which/that。 【57题详解】 考查介词。句意：然后将它们晾干，用手揉搓，然后装到盒子里。pack...in...是固定搭配，意为“把……装到……里”，本空用介词in，符合题意，故填in。 【58题详解】 考查连词。句意：有两种茶被进口到英国 —— 红茶和绿茶。black和green是并列关系，所以用连词and连接。故填and。 【59题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：颜色的差异是由于干燥茶叶的方式不同。本空作介词of的宾语，用dry“（把……）弄干”的动名词形式。故填drying。 【60题详解】 考查副词。句意：对于红茶，在烘焙之前，茶叶要完全暴露在空气中一段时间，然后在炭火上慢慢烘干。本空修饰动词exposed，作状语，要用副词形式，whole 的副词形式是wholly“完全地”。故填wholly。 【61题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：当茶第一次被带到英国时，它非常昂贵，而且一些人不知道应该如何沏茶；所以他们把叶子煮了，然后把液体倒掉后吃了叶子！“____ it should be made”是宾语从句，作动词know的宾语，这里表示不知道如何沏茶，所以用连接副词how“如何”引导宾语从句。故填how。 【62题详解】 考查时态。句意：当茶第一次被带到英国时，它非常昂贵，而且一些人不知道应该如何沏茶；所以他们把叶子煮了，然后把液体倒掉后吃了叶子！本空与boiled并列，作谓语，句子描述的是过去发生的事情，所以时态也要用一般过去时，谓语用eat“吃”的过去式ate。故填ate。 【63题详解】 考查名词的数。句意：它有细长的茎，尖尖的有光泽的叶子，还有一束束漂亮的白色花朵。bunch是可数名词，a bunch of表示 “一束”，这里表示多束，要用复数形式bunches。故填bunches。 64题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：当浆果成熟时，会发现它们含有两颗种子。本句谓语为examined，此处为非谓语动词，be found to do sth.“被发现做某事”，所以用动词contain“含有”的不定式to contain，作主语补足语。故填to contain。 【65题详解】 考查冠词。句意：咖啡树生长在阿拉伯、北美南部各州、巴西、东西印度群岛和锡兰。此处为the+单数名词表一类事物。故填The。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 66. 国庆期间，山西省举办了“跟着悟空游山西”系列活动，请你用英文写一篇报道，向你校英文报投稿，内容包括： 1．活动目的：弘扬山西文化，加深山西印象； 2．活动内容：体验非物质文化遗产和地方特色小吃； 3．活动反响：唤起了民众对山西及其古老文化的兴趣，加快了山西走向世界的步伐。 (参考词汇：非物质的 intangible 遗产 heritage) 注意：1．写作词数应为80词左右； 2．题目已给出； 3．请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Follow Wukong Appreciate Shanxi ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Follow Wukong Appreciate Shanxi With the increasing popularity of Wukong, Shanxi became a hit overnight.

When I was 13, word came that a well-known circus would perform in the town. I jumped at the news and my father promised to take me to it. The big day finally came, and I was pleased to see my father put a brand new 20-dollar bill in his pocket carefully. The ticket counter was crowded with excited children and parents. My father held my hand tightly. As we were standing in line to wait for our turn, the family of six in front of us, a lovely couple and four kids, attracted me. The four kids were all probably under the age of twelve. Even as a child, I could tell they didn’t have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean and tidy. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two by two behind their parents, and holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants, and acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice. From their thrilled expressions, I knew they had never been to the circus before just like me. It promised to be the highlight of our young lives. I was looking forward to enjoying the performance as eagerly as the four lovely kids. The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proudly. The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, “Please let me buy four children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.” “Eight dollars each. Altogether 48 dollars, please,” said the ticket lady in a mild voice. “Pardon? Is there any difference in adults and children?” the puzzled father leaned a little closer and asked. “No, sir. Eight dollars each,” the lady quoted the price again. Hearing this, the father dropped his head, speechless for a while. How was he supposed to turn around and tell his four children that he didn’t have enough money to take them to the circus? As a matter of fact, we were not wealthy in any sense. So I understood how the kids would feel. I felt sorry for them. I just looked up at my dad. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: Without saying a word, my dad released my hand, pulled out the $20 bill in his pocket and dropped it on the ground. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: That day I missed the circus performance and went back home with my dad. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Without saying a word, my dad released my hand, pulled out the $20 bill in his pocket and dropped it on the ground. Then he picked it up and tapped the father on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir. Out of your pocket fell this bill.” The man turned around and saw the money. He stood silently for a second, feeling confused. But soon, he knew what was going on and picked it up. With his lips shaking and something shining in his eyes, he replied in a low voice, “Thank you, Sir. This really means a lot to me and my family.” That day I missed the circus performance and went back home with my dad. Puzzled and a bit disappointed, I kept asking father why. My father held my hang even more tightly and explained to me in a gentle way. It was a desperate and heartbreaking situation for a father who wished nothing but brighten his children’s life just with the circus! “I just don’t want to let the kids down. From that day on, I know that being wealthy is not just about money and being happy is not just get what you want. 【解析】 【导语】本文以看马戏表演为线索展开，讲述了作者和父亲去看马戏表演，在买票时看到前面一家六口因为钱不够无法买票，作者的父亲通过巧妙的方式帮助这家人的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我爸爸一言不发地松开我的手，从口袋里掏出20美元的钞票扔在地上。”可知，第一段可描写爸爸把钱给前面家庭的过程以及对方的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“那天我错过了马戏表演，和爸爸一起回家了。”可知，第二段可描写回家途中“我”的疑惑以及爸爸的解释和“我”从中得到的感悟。 2.续写线索：爸爸扔钱——捡起给钱——对方反应——错过表演——疑惑——解释——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①询问：ask/question ②轻拍：tap/pat ③解释：explain/account for 情绪类 ①困惑的：puzzled/confused ②高兴的：happy/delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1] He stood silently for a second, feeling confused.（使用了现在分词短语做状语） [高分句型2] It was a desperate and heartbreaking situation for a father who wished nothing but brighten his children’s life just with the circus!（使用了关系代词who为引导词的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Sarah, did you enjoy yourself swimming in the lake yesterday?

B “Well, Amy, how are you getting on with your napkin (手帕)?” cried Lizzy, whose swift fingers seemed to fly over her work. “Not very fast,” replied quiet little Amy, without raising her eyes. “I have almost finished one side.” “One side!” said Lizzy, with a laugh which was neither pleasant nor kind. “Why? We both began hemming (缝褶边) our napkins at the same time and I’m now at the fourth side of mine!” “I know that I am slow,” sighed Amy. “You may well say that!” cried Lizzy. “But I’ll try to be steady and to do my best,” said the little girl, as she threaded her tiny needle and went on with her work. “As I sew so fast,” cried Lizzy. “I am sure to have finished my napkin long before the bell rings for dinner. I’ll just run for a minute to the garden to see if the roses are out.” Tossing down her work on a chair, Lizzy flew off. Amy longed for the fresh air and the flowers, but her work must first be done. Steadily she laid down her broad hem and had finished the second side of her napkin before her sister came back. “Ah, you plodding little thing!” cried Lizzy. “You will never get up to me. I’ll have time to go to my room and put my new picture on the wall.” Off went gay little Lizzy. Amy went on with her work. Before her sister again entered the room, the third side of her napkin was hemmed. “Had you not better finish your sewing?” said Amy. “It must be near dinner-time now.” “Oh! I can finish it in two minutes. Only I want to look at that story, which Tom told us was so amusing.”“But if you are late?” “No fear of that!” cried Lizzy. “No one is so likely to be late as a slow little creature like you!” Poor Amy made no reply. Stitch after stitch, stitch after stitch, quietly she worked on. Lizzy was soon so deep in her story that she forgot all about her work, till startled by the sound of the bell. “Can it be dinner-time!” she cried. “Oh dear, and my napkin is not hemmed! And yours?” Lizzy stared at Amy. “It is just finished,” said Amy, as she quietly folded it up. “This just like ‘The Hare and the Tortoise’.” thought Lizzy, who, though impolite and vain (自负的), had enough of sense to take a lesson. Quickness may have the start, but the quiet, steady worker does most in the end. 24. Why did Lizzy cry at Amy at the beginning of the story? A. To arouse Amy’s interest in her. B. To warn Amy of the coming danger. C. To express her regret about not following Amy. D. To show her dissatisfaction with Amy. 25. What does the underlined phrase “tossing down” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Taking up. B. Picking out. C. Laying aside. D. Picking up. 26. What can we infer from “her tiny needle” in Paragraph 2 and “her broad hem” in Paragraph 3? A. To stress the challenge of the task. B To emphasize the importance of the task. C. To show the simplicity of the task. D. To present the flexibility of the task. 27. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. Kind and Pleasant B. Speedy and Steady C. Tiny but Broad D. Quiet but Humorous C Bzzz. Oh no — a mosquito. Have you ever wondered how these small insects are so good at finding you? A new study has identified one way they home in on us. It’s visual. Mosquitoes just like the look of our skin. Claire Rusch and her colleagues have been working to uncover ways to avoid mosquito bites. And this biologist knows plenty about that. After all, while studying mosquitoes, “you get bitten a lot,” she notes. “It’s not easy to work with an animal that feeds on you.” A bite from a disease-carrying mosquito can be more than annoying, though. Rusch and her team just discovered something that could help drive these mosquitoes away. The Aedes aegypti mosquitoes that Rusch studies are attracted to a few colors, especially ones with long wavelengths of light. We see these colors — the same wavelengths given off by human skin — as red. That finding could lead to the design of better traps to keep mosquitoes away from people. Anyone stuck in a room with a mosquito knows they are very good at finding you. These insects can detect the carbon dioxide or CO2 we breathe out. They also are attracted to sweat, body warmth and contrasting colors. But until now scientists didn’t know that mosquitoes could detect specific colors. “I found their research results surprising and very interesting,” says Trevor Sorrells, a mosquito neuroscientist. The new research shows mosquitoes can see red light and tell that it is different from other colors. “This is important,” he notes, “because all human skin tones (肤色) reflect red light better than other colors. So mosquitoes can use it to locate human skin.” Next time you’re out where mosquitoes might be present, don’t forget the bug spray (蚊虫喷雾剂). And that red shirt? You might want to leave it at home. 28. How do mosquitoes locate their potential victims? A. By smelling. B. By seeing. C. By tasting. D. By touching. 29. According to Paragraph 2, it can be inferred that ________. A. a bite from a mosquito can be deadly B. Rusch and her team are working to find how mosquitoes bite C. wavelengths given off by human skin are long ones D. the studied mosquitoes favor colors of short wavelengths light 30. What does the new research tell us? A. We can get rid of mosquitoes by contrasting colors. B. Sweat and body temperature appeal to mosquitoes. C. The carbon dioxide we breathe out drives mosquitoes away. D. A certain color can be noticed by mosquitoes. 31. What is the text? A. A biography. B. A book review. C. A science report. D. A short story. D On 26 February 2024, China Media Group(CMG)aired the country’s first animated series produced with the help of generative artificial intelligence(AI)models. Titled Qianqiu Shisong, the series includes multiple seven-minute episodes and features animated retellings of some of the most famous classic Chinese poems and their backstories. Its contents are drawn from more than 200 time-honored Chinese poems that are found in primary, secondary and higher education textbooks. The show was produced using CMG Media GPT, an AI model co-developed by CMG and Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory(SAIL). According to the laboratory, AI technology was used in every stage of Qianqiu Shisong’s production process, from art design to video generation and post-production. CMG Media GPT was trained by being fed with large amounts of data from CMG’s previous poem-relevant programs, enabling it to create images and scenes that represent the style of traditional Chinese ink-wash paintings and feature historically accurate architectural designs and clothing details. CMG Media GPT has significantly cut down on the time and costs of animation production. “AI will not replace humans but will increase humans’ working efficiency. For example, our team used to make one episode each month, but now we can make three episodes each month with the assistance of AI,” says the director of Qianqiu Shisong. Following the putonghua version, an English-dubbed(英文配音的)version of the series titled Poems of Timeless Acclaim was aired online in March. The series will also be made available in other languages. On Chinese social media, some netizens comment that Qianqiu Shisong is a valuable opportunity to practice China’s AI technology. Others say that AI-generated animation is a smart approach to popularizing Chinese culture as the advanced technology can inject new life into ancient poetry. 32. What can we learn about Qianqiu Shisong from Paragraph1? A. It’s the first animated series throughout the world. B. It consists of some of well-known classic poems in China. C. Its contents are chosen from Western poetry classics. D. It’s produced by artificial intelligent models alone. 33. What was the function of CMG Media GPT in producing the series? A. It was used to process animation production. B. It was used to train netizens to appreciate poems. C. It was used to analyze contemporary poems. D. It was used to create images and scenes of modern China. 34. What does CMG Media GPT contribute to? A. Arousing public interest in poems greatly. B. Adding the time to produce to a larger degree. C. Taking the place of human beings completely. D. Reducing the cost of producing dramatically. 35. Which of the following best describes Chinese netizens’ attitudes towards QianQiu Shi-Song? A. Indifferent B. Neutral C. Approving D. Doubtful 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Three Major World Sports Events With an increasing number of people taking part in sports today, more large sports events are being held all around the world than ever before. ____36____ They offer the most opportunities for competition and collaboration.

When I was 13, word came that a well-known circus would perform in the town. I jumped at the news and my father promised to take me to it. The big day finally came, and I was pleased to see my father put a brand new 20-dollar bill in his pocket carefully. The ticket counter was crowded with excited children and parents. My father held my hand tightly. As we were standing in line to wait for our turn, the family of six in front of us, a lovely couple and four kids, attracted me. The four kids were all probably under the age of twelve. Even as a child, I could tell they didn’t have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean and tidy. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two by two behind their parents, and holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants, and acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice. From their thrilled expressions, I knew they had never been to the circus before just like me. It promised to be the highlight of our young lives. I was looking forward to enjoying the performance as eagerly as the four lovely kids. The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proudly. The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, “Please let me buy four children’s tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.” “Eight dollars each. Altogether 48 dollars, please,” said the ticket lady in a mild voice. “Pardon? Is there any difference in adults and children?” the puzzled father leaned a little closer and asked. “No, sir. Eight dollars each,” the lady quoted the price again. Hearing this, the father dropped his head, speechless for a while. How was he supposed to turn around and tell his four children that he didn’t have enough money to take them to the circus? As a matter of fact, we were not wealthy in any sense. So I understood how the kids would feel. I felt sorry for them. I just looked up at my dad. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: Without saying a word, my dad released my hand, pulled out the $20 bill in his pocket and dropped it on the ground. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: That day I missed the circus performance and went back home with my dad. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
