This article takes a look at the largest art museums by area. The Louvre The Louvre, located in Paris, is the largest art museum in the world. It is considered a historic monument. This building first served as a castle before becoming a royal residence. Under King Louis XIV, it was used to house two art schools. The Louvre Museum was opened with 537 paintings. Today, it is home to around 38,000 pieces. State Hermitage Museum The State Hermitage Museum, located in St. Petersburg, Russia, is the second largest art museum in the world. It has a total area of 719,480 square feet. This museum, one of the oldest in the world, is home to a collection of over 3 million pieces, including the largest painting collection in the world. National Museum of China The third largest art museum is the National Museum of China. Located beside Tiananmen Square in Beijing, it covers an area of 700,000 square feet. Its chief aim is to educate the public and promote the history and arts of China. The National Museum of China houses about 1.05 million pieces in its collection. Metropolitan Museum of Art The fourth largest art museum in the world is the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, which covers an area of 633,100 square feet. Today, this museum is in a building that is 20 times larger than the original and located on the border of Central Park. It is home to more than 2 million pieces. Additionally, it is known for its large collection of musical instruments. 21. Which of the following has the least pieces of art? A. The Louvre. B. State Hermitage Museum. C. National Museum of China. D. Metropolitan Museum of Art. 22. What is special about the State Hermitage Museum? A. It collects the most musical instruments. B. It is 20 times larger than its original one. C. It receives the most visitors in the world. D. It has the largest painting collection in the world. 23. What can visitors do in the Metropolitan Museum of Art? A. Learn about the arts of China. B. See many musical instruments. C. Take a tour in an ancient castle. D. Admire the world’s largest painting. B Last Monday, I visited Jalan Besar to find a new fan blade (风扇叶片) for a standing fan that my daughters had broken. I worked in the Jalan Besar area 30 years ago and remembered that there were lots of small hardware shops selling unusual things so I thought that I would have no problem finding a fan blade. However, after walking around for almost an hour, I found out that these shops were no longer around. When I was ready to give up and go home, I spotted an old-fashioned hardware store. After being greeted by a woman, I explained my predicament. She immediately asked me to show her the broken blade. Out of nowhere, a man who looked to be in his 60s came out. He asked to see the blade and then disappeared into the shop. He came back with a blade but it did not look the same as what I had in my hand. We compared the two blades and he said that it might work. I asked him how much it was. He told me that he had taken the blade off an old fan that someone had brought in for repair. He said, “It didn’t cost me anything, so why should I charge you for it?” That really touched me. I took the blade home and it worked perfectly! My daughters got a “new” fan for nothing. When I told my wife (almost in her 60s) this story, she said this reminded her of the kind aunties and uncles who used to run small shops and were always ready to help others when she was growing up. 24. Why did the author go to Jalan Besar? A. To visit his old friends. B. To apply for a job. C. To fix the broken fan. D. To buy a new fan. 25. What does the underlined word “predicament” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Nervous mood. B. Difficult situation. C. Anxious waiting. D. Boring moments. 26 Which of the following can best describe the old man? A. Kind and brave. B. Honest and helpful. C. Determined and curious. D. Open-minded and humorous. 27. How did the author’s wife react to his experience? A. She remembered the old days. B. She was greatly surprised. C. She couldn’t believe it. D. She thought little of it. C Imagine a customer-service center that speaks your language, no matter what it is. Alorica, a company in Irvine, California, which runs customer-service centers around the world, has introduced an artificial intelligence (AI) translation tool that lets its workers talk with customers who speak 200 different languages and 75 dialects. So an Alorica worker who speaks, say, only Spanish can deal with a complaint about an incorrect bank statement from a Cantonese speaker in Hong Kong. And it wouldn’t need to hire an employee who speaks Cantonese. However, Alorica isn’t cutting jobs. It will increasingly hire those who are comfortable with new technology. Potentially, the threat: Perhaps companies won’t need as many employees — and will cut some jobs — if chatbots can handle the workload instead. Consider Suumit Shah, an Indian businessman who caused an uproar last year by saying that he had replaced 90% of his customer support staff with a chatbot named Lina. The move at Shah’s company, Dukaan, which helps customers set up e-commerce sites, reduced the response time to an inquiry from 1 minute, 44 seconds to “instant”. It also cut the typical time needed to solve problems from more than two hours to just over three minutes. Similarly, researchers at Harvard Business School found in a study last year that job postings for writers, coders and artists decreased greatly within eight months of the arrival of ChatGPT. But being exposed to AI doesn’t necessarily mean losing your job to it. The Swedish furniture retailer IKEA, for example, introduced a customer-service chatbot in 2021 to handle simple inquiries. Instead of cutting jobs, IKEA retrained 8,500 customer-service workers to handle such tasks as advising customers on interior design and fielding complex customer calls. The experience at Alorica and IKEA suggests that AI may not prove to be the job killer that many people fear. Instead, the technology might turn out to be more like breakthroughs of the past—the steam engine, electricity and the Internet, which get rid of some jobs while creating others and probably make workers more productive in general to the eventual benefit of workers themselves, their employers and the economy. 28. What does the author want to tell us by the example in paragraph 1? A. The power of AI. B. The threat from humans. C. The customer requirements. D. The tips on language learning. 29 What advantage does Lina have over other staff? A. Winning the trust of customers. B. Responding to customers faster. C. Selling more products to customers. D. Having a great relationship with Shah. 30. What were IKEA’s customer-service workers asked to do in 2021? A. Take on other duties. B. Leave their company. C. Move to HongKong. D. Develop latest chatbots. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. How Will AI Change Our Lives? B. How Should We Use AI Effectively? C. Will AI Take Away Many Human Jobs? D. What Is the Future of Traditional Companies? D The world may be losing its tiny pollinators. Where were the sound of flying insects striking against the lightbulb? Even the cicadas (蝉) or crickets (蟋蟀) had stilled its instruments. Where have all the insects gone? Our lives rely on a healthy insect population. Research shows that areas with more insect species have better and more stable pollination. As Dave Goulson, a biology professor, explains in his book Silent Earth: Averting the Insect Apocalypse, about three-quarters of all crops grown by humans need animal pollination, mostly by insects. “We could not feed the global human population without pollinators,” he writes. It’s not just bees and butterflies that are important; other less attractive pollinators like flies, wasps, and soldier beetles are also in decline. These insects not only pollinate but also eat pests that damage crops. Scientists have been warning about the decrease in insect numbers for years. The reasons are climate change, loss of habitats, light pollution, intensive farming, and the use of pesticides and fertilizers. However, it’s difficult to convince people to take action. We humans have a complex relationship with these six-legged creatures. Remember Kafka’s Metamorphosis, where a man turns into a bug, or the Victorian stories where naughty children become insects? Seen closely, even the face of a butterfly or bee is disturbing. y strange. Perhaps we’ve been pushing insects away. Some steps may be as simple as turning off artificial light. A recent study in China found that trees in Beijing, lit by street lights at night, seem to have tougher leaves and less damage from insects. In other words, insects are probably being starved out of the area. We should address our attitudes to insects. Those annoying flies around your food? They use simply doing what they were born for. They’re recycling. Without them we might be wondering what to do about piles of waste. Besides, they’re food for birds, and UK bird populations have crashed in recent years. 32. How does insect diversity influence our lives? A It makes our life less attractive. B. It contributes to our grain increase. C. It has no significant effect on our life. D. It results in a decrease in animal pollination. 33. What is implied about our relationship with insects? A. We have a negative and fearful idea of them. B. We are completely indifferent to them. C. We have always been very friendly towards them. D. We rely on them and really care about their survival. 34 What is one suggested step to lessen insects decline? A. Introducing more species to control pests. B. Increasing the use of pesticides to protect crops. C. Planting more trees to provide habitats for insects. D. Turning off artificial light to reduce light pollution. 35. What is the purpose of this passage? A. To call on people to preserve insects. B. To illustrate the necessity of recycling. C. To show humans’ relationship with insects. D. To describe the decrease of insects populations. 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。 How to Sleep Better What you do (or don’t do) before bedtime has significant impact on the quality of your sleep. ____36____ Here are a few suggestions: Go from light to dark.

She is a lady with a warm smile and is known for her fondness of bookshops and her habitual walks through the city’s historical region. One evening, as she was heading back to her home from a park, Ms. Eleanor suddenly realized that her purse was missing. She retraced her steps, searching every corner of the park. Her heart sank with each passing moment, as the purse contained a treasured photograph of her departed husband, which she carried as a precious treasure. As the sun set, casting long shadows along the pavements, Ms. Eleanor felt an overwhelming sense of loss and hopelessness. In the meantime, a young man named Tom was walking home from her cherished job at the community library. As he passed by the bookshop which Ms. Eleanor had visited earlier that day, he spotted something nestled in the corner of the pavement. Interested, he picked it up and discovered it to be a well-worn leather purse. Tom opened the purse, seeking some identification to return it to its owner. It wasn’t long before he saw the cash and personal belongings inside. Recognizing the significance of what he held, he decided to wait at the spot where he found the purse, hoping that the owner would return to search for it. As nightfall blanketed the city, Ms. Eleanor, with a heavy heart, headed back to her beloved bookshop to make her last attempt to get back her purse. Her pace was slow and weary, yet her determination was strong. As she drew near to the bookshop, she noticed a figure standing under a street lamp, hold something in his hands. “Pardon me, young person. I was wondering if you happened to come across an old purse?” Ms. Eleanor inquired in a low tone The young man’s face brightened and he was about to hand the purse to the elderly lady.

C 【解析】 【原文】W: Hello ladies and gentlemen, today we have invited professor stone to talk about the role of elderly people in our society. Welcome to our show professor stone. M: To begin with I’d like to tell a story from my own life several years ago when my grandparents were well into their eighties. They were no longer able to care for themselves very well. My grandfather was afraid of leaving the only home they had known for the past sixty years. The idea of having to sell their home and move into a retirement home was an extremely painful experience for them. Indeed, old age for them and many older Americans can mean not only the possible failure of one’s health but the loss of identity and self-worth. W: Yes, it’s true. What do you have to say? Say about the problem of old age. M: Many experts have given talks here that have focused on the medical care and the development of public services for senior citizens today. I’d like to focus my comments on the meaningful roles the elderly can play and should play in our society. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 18. What does the speaker’s mother want her to be? A. A confident person. B. A warm-hearted person. C. A humorous person. 19. Why did the speaker feel lonely in her childhood? A. She often traveled by herself. B. Her family moved frequently. C. Her mother was busy working. 20. What does the speaker mainly talk about? A. Importance of home schooling. B. Mother-daughter relationship. C. A role model in her family. 【答案】18. A 19. B 20. B 【解析】 【详解】W: Talking about personal relationships. Well, I’d naturally think of my relationship with my mother. Whenever I need help, my mother is always there for me. She often tells me that I can be anyone I want, as long as I’m confident of myself. She sees my talent and pushes me to do the best I possibly can. As I was growing up, we were often on the move. I had to admit that moving so often made me feel lonely. But my mother did everything she could to help me feel happy. In fact, so much traveling was really a good thing because it made us close. I respect my mother so much as she never treats me as a child, but as an equal. She gives me the freedom to make mistakes and to learn from them all. Unlike friendships that can fade or break, I know I’ll always be connected to my mother no matter what I face. She is not just a role model, but someone I love. 第二部分 阅读（共两节, 满分50分） 第一节（共 15 小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Four Largest Art Museums in the World Art museums all over the world offer space to display a wide range of art, from sculptures to paintings. This article takes a look at the largest art museums by area. The Louvre The Louvre, located in Paris, is the largest art museum in the world. It is considered a historic monument. This building first served as a castle before becoming a royal residence. Under King Louis XIV, it was used to house two art schools. The Louvre Museum was opened with 537 paintings. Today, it is home to around 38,000 pieces. State Hermitage Museum The State Hermitage Museum, located in St. Petersburg, Russia, is the second largest art museum in the world.

It is 20 times larger than its original one. C. It receives the most visitors in the world. D. It has the largest painting collection in the world. 23. What can visitors do in the Metropolitan Museum of Art? A. Learn about the arts of China. B. See many musical instruments. C. Take a tour in an ancient castle. D. Admire the world’s largest painting. 【答案】21. A 22. D 23. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了世界上四个最大的艺术博物馆。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Louvre部分中“The Louvre Museum was opened with 537 paintings. Today, it is home to around 38,000 pieces.(卢浮宫博物馆开放时有537幅画作。如今，它拥有约38000件艺术品)”、State Hermitage Museum部分中“This museum, one of the oldest in the world, is home to a collection of over 3 million pieces(这座博物馆是世界上最古老的博物馆之一，拥有超过300万件藏品)”、National Museum of China部分中“The National Museum of China houses about 1.05 million pieces in its collection.(中国国家博物馆收藏了约105万件艺术品)”以及Metropolitan Museum of Art部分中“It is home to more than 2 million pieces.(它拥有超过200万件艺术品)”可知，卢浮宫的艺术品数量最少，为38000件。故选A项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据State Hermitage Museum部分中“This museum, one of the oldest in the world, is home to a collection of over 3 million pieces, including the largest painting collection in the world.(这座博物馆是世界上最古老的博物馆之一，拥有超过300万件藏品，包括世界上最大的绘画收藏)”可知，国立艾尔米塔什博物馆的特别之处在于它拥有世界上最大的绘画收藏。故选D项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Metropolitan Museum of Art部分中“Additionally, it is known for its large collection of musical instruments.(此外，它还以其大量的乐器收藏而闻名)”可知，游客在大都会艺术博物馆可以看到很多乐器。故选B项。 B Last Monday, I visited Jalan Besar to find a new fan blade (风扇叶片) for a standing fan that my daughters had broken. I worked in the Jalan Besar area 30 years ago and remembered that there were lots of small hardware shops selling unusual things so I thought that I would have no problem finding a fan blade. However, after walking around for almost an hour, I found out that these shops were no longer around. When I was ready to give up and go home, I spotted an old-fashioned hardware store. After being greeted by a woman, I explained my predicament. She immediately asked me to show her the broken blade. Out of nowhere, a man who looked to be in his 60s came out. He asked to see the blade and then disappeared into the shop. He came back with a blade but it did not look the same as what I had in my hand. We compared the two blades and he said that it might work. I asked him how much it was. He told me that he had taken the blade off an old fan that someone had brought in for repair. He said, “It didn’t cost me anything, so why should I charge you for it?” That really touched me. I took the blade home and it worked perfectly! My daughters got a “new” fan for nothing. When I told my wife (almost in her 60s) this story, she said this reminded her of the kind aunties and uncles who used to run small shops and were always ready to help others when she was growing up. 24. Why did the author go to Jalan Besar? A. To visit his old friends. B. To apply for a job. C. To fix the broken fan. D. To buy a new fan. 25. What does the underlined word “predicament” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Nervous mood. B. Difficult situation. C. Anxious waiting. D. Boring moments. 26. Which of the following can best describe the old man? A. Kind and brave. B. Honest and helpful. C. Determined and curious. D. Open-minded and humorous. 27. How did the author’s wife react to his experience? A. She remembered the old days. B. She was greatly surprised. C. She couldn’t believe it. D. She thought little of it. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者去商店买风扇的叶片，结果走了将近一个小时也没买到。一家老式的五金店的一位老人免费给了作者一个能用的扇叶，对此作者及其家人非常感动。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Last Monday, I visited Jalan Besar to find a new fan blade (风扇叶片) for a standing fan that my daughters had broken.(上周一，我去Jalan Besar为我女儿弄坏了一个落地式风扇找一个新的扇叶。)”可知，作者去Jalan Besar是为了修理坏掉的风扇。故选C项。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。第二段“I worked in the Jalan Besar area 30 years ago and remembered that there were lots of small hardware shops selling unusual things so I thought that I would have no problem finding a fan blade. However, after walking around for almost an hour, I found out that these shops were no longer around.(30年前，我在Jalan Besar地区工作，记得那里有很多卖不寻常东西的小五金店，所以我想找到风扇叶片不会有问题。然而，走了将近一个小时后，我发现这些商店已经不在了。)”和第三段中“When I was ready to give up and go home, I spotted an old-fashioned hardware store.(当我准备放弃回家时，我看到了一家老式的五金店。)”说明作者找不到可以买到风扇叶片的商店了，买风扇叶片时遇到了困境，这时看到一家老式的五金店。从而推知划线词句“After being greeted by a woman, I explained my predicament.(在一位女士的招呼下，我向她解释了我的predicament。)”其中划线短语应为“困境”的意思，与B项同义。故选B项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“He asked to see the blade and then disappeared into the shop. He came back with a blade but it did not look the same as what I had in my hand. We compared the two blades and he said that it might work.(他要求看一下扇叶，然后就消失在店里了。他拿着一片扇叶回来了，但看起来和我手里的不一样。我们比较了两种扇叶，他说可能有用。)”可知，这位老人帮助作者找到了能用的扇叶，第五段中“He said, ‘It didn’t cost me anything, so why should I charge you for it?’(他说：‘我又没花什么钱，我为什么要收你钱呢? ’)”可知，这位老人是诚实的，没有收作者的钱。综上可知，这位老人是诚实的并且乐于助人。故选B项。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“When I told my wife (almost in her 60s) this story, she said this reminded her of the kind aunties and uncles who used to run small shops and were always ready to help others when she was growing up.(当我把这个故事告诉我的妻子(她快60岁了)时，她说这让她想起了在她成长的过程中，那些曾经经营小商店的善良的叔叔阿姨，他们总是乐于助人。)”可知，他的经历使他妻子想起了过去那些美好的日子。故选A项。 C Imagine a customer-service center that speaks your language, no matter what it is. Alorica, a company in Irvine, California, which runs customer-service centers around the world, has introduced an artificial intelligence (AI) translation tool that lets its workers talk with customers who speak 200 different languages and 75 dialects. So an Alorica worker who speaks, say, only Spanish can deal with a complaint about an incorrect bank statement from a Cantonese speaker in Hong Kong. And it wouldn’t need to hire an employee who speaks Cantonese. However, Alorica isn’t cutting jobs. It will increasingly hire those who are comfortable with new technology. Potentially, the threat: Perhaps companies won’t need as many employees — and will cut some jobs — if chatbots can handle the workload instead. Consider Suumit Shah, an Indian businessman who caused an uproar last year by saying that he had replaced 90% of his customer support staff with a chatbot named Lina. The move at Shah’s company, Dukaan, which helps customers set up e-commerce sites, reduced the response time to an inquiry from 1 minute, 44 seconds to “instant”. It also cut the typical time needed to solve problems from more than two hours to just over three minutes. Similarly, researchers at Harvard Business School found in a study last year that job postings for writers, coders and artists decreased greatly within eight months of the arrival of ChatGPT. But being exposed to AI doesn’t necessarily mean losing your job to it. The Swedish furniture retailer IKEA, for example, introduced a customer-service chatbot in 2021 to handle simple inquiries. Instead of cutting jobs, IKEA retrained 8,500 customer-service workers to handle such tasks as advising customers on interior design and fielding complex customer calls. The experience at Alorica and IKEA suggests that AI may not prove to be the job killer that many people fear. Instead, the technology might turn out to be more like breakthroughs of the past—the steam engine, electricity and the Internet, which get rid of some jobs while creating others and probably make workers more productive in general to the eventual benefit of workers themselves, their employers and the economy. 28. What does the author want to tell us by the example in paragraph 1? A. The power of AI. B. The threat from humans. C. The customer requirements. D. The tips on language learning. 29. What advantage does Lina have over other staff? A. Winning the trust of customers. B. Responding to customers faster. C. Selling more products to customers. D. Having a great relationship with Shah. 30. What were IKEA’s customer-service workers asked to do in 2021? A. Take on other duties. B. Leave their company. C. Move to HongKong. D. Develop latest chatbots. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. How Will AI Change Our Lives? B. How Should We Use AI Effectively? C. Will AI Take Away Many Human Jobs? D. What Is the Future of Traditional Companies? 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要通过实例介绍了人工智能可能不会抢走人类的很多工作。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“Alorica, a company in Irvine, California, which runs customer-service centers around the world, has introduced an artificial intelligence (AI) translation tool that lets its workers talk with customers who speak 200 different languages and 75 dialects. (Alorica是一家位于加利福尼亚州尔湾公司，在世界各地设有客户服务中心，该公司推出了一种人工智能（AI）翻译工具，可以让员工与说200种不同语言和75种方言的客户交谈)”可知，这种人工智能翻译工具有强大的力量，可以让员工与说200种不同语言和75种方言的客户交谈，并列举了下文与香港客户交谈的例子。由此推知，作者想通过第一段中的例子告诉我们人工智能的力量。故选A项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“Consider Suumit Shah, an Indian businessman who caused an uproar last year by saying that he had replaced 90% of his customer support staff with a chatbot named Lina. The move at Shah’s company, Dukaan, which helps customers set up e-commerce sites, reduced the response time to an inquiry from 1 minute, 44 seconds to “instant”. (以印度商人苏米特·沙阿为例，他去年表示，他已经用一个名为Lina的聊天机器人取代了90%的客户支持人员，这引起了轩然大波。沙阿的公司Dukaan帮助客户建立电子商务网站，此举将查询的响应时间从1分44秒缩短到“即时”)”可知，名为Lina的聊天机器人将查询的响应时间从1分44秒缩短到“即时”。由此可知，Lina比其他员工有的优势是能够更快地回应客户。故选B项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段关键句“Instead of cutting jobs, IKEA retrained 8,500 customer-service workers to handle such tasks as advising customers on interior design and fielding complex customer calls. (宜家没有裁员，而是对8500名客户服务人员进行了再培训，以处理室内设计咨询和接听复杂客户电话等任务)”可知，宜家要求原来的客户服务人员处理室内设计咨询和接听复杂客户电话等任务。由此可知，2021年，宜家的客服人员被要求承担其他职责。故选A项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合最后一段关键句“The experience at Alorica and IKEA suggests that AI may not prove to be the job killer that many people fear. (Alorica和宜家的经验表明，人工智能可能不会成为许多人担心的就业杀手)”可知，文章通过不同公司的例子告诉我们，人工智能不会成为人类的就业杀手。由此可知，“Will AI Take Away Many Human Jobs?(人工智能会夺走许多人类工作吗？)”能够概括文章主题。故选C项。 D The world may be losing its tiny pollinators. Where were the sound of flying insects striking against the lightbulb? Even the cicadas (蝉) or crickets (蟋蟀) had stilled its instruments. Where have all the insects gone? Our lives rely on a healthy insect population. Research shows that areas with more insect species have better and more stable pollination. As Dave Goulson, a biology professor, explains in his book Silent Earth: Averting the Insect Apocalypse, about three-quarters of all crops grown by humans need animal pollination, mostly by insects. “We could not feed the global human population without pollinators,” he writes. It’s not just bees and butterflies that are important; other less attractive pollinators like flies, wasps, and soldier beetles are also in decline. These insects not only pollinate but also eat pests that damage crops. Scientists have been warning about the decrease in insect numbers for years. The reasons are climate change, loss of habitats, light pollution, intensive farming, and the use of pesticides and fertilizers. However, it’s difficult to convince people to take action. We humans have a complex relationship with these six-legged creatures. Remember Kafka’s Metamorphosis, where a man turns into a bug, or the Victorian stories where naughty children become insects? Seen closely, even the face of a butterfly or bee is disturbing. y strange. Perhaps we’ve been pushing insects away. Some steps may be as simple as turning off artificial light. A recent study in China found that trees in Beijing, lit by street lights at night, seem to have tougher leaves and less damage from insects. In other words, insects are probably being starved out of the area. We should address our attitudes to insects. Those annoying flies around your food? They use simply doing what they were born for. They’re recycling. Without them we might be wondering what to do about piles of waste. Besides, they’re food for birds, and UK bird populations have crashed in recent years. 32. How does insect diversity influence our lives? A. It makes our life less attractive. B. It contributes to our grain increase. C. It has no significant effect on our life. D. It results in a decrease in animal pollination. 33. What is implied about our relationship with insects? A. We have a negative and fearful idea of them. B. We are completely indifferent to them. C. We have always been very friendly towards them. D. We rely on them and really care about their survival. 34. What is one suggested step to lessen insects decline? A. Introducing more species to control pests. B. Increasing the use of pesticides to protect crops. C. Planting more trees to provide habitats for insects. D. Turning off artificial light to reduce light pollution. 35. What is the purpose of this passage? A. To call on people to preserve insects. B. To illustrate the necessity of recycling. C. To show humans’ relationship with insects. D. To describe the decrease of insects populations. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章指出昆虫数量在减少，阐述了昆虫多样性对人类生活的重要性、昆虫减少的原因，还给出了应对措施，呼吁人们保护昆虫。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Research shows that areas with more insect species have better and more stable pollination. As Dave Goulson, a biology professor, explains in his book Silent Earth: Averting the Insect Apocalypse, about three quarters of all crops grown by humans need animal pollination, mostly by insects.(研究表明，昆虫种类更多的地区有更好、更稳定的授粉情况。正如生物学教授戴夫·古尔森在他的《寂静地球：避免昆虫末日》一书中解释的那样，人类种植的大约四分之三的农作物需要动物授粉，主要是昆虫授粉)”可知，昆虫多样性有助于农作物授粉，从而促进粮食增产。故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“We humans have a complex relationship with these six legged creatures. Remember Kafka’s Metamorphosis, where a man turns into a bug, or the Victorian stories where naughty children become insects? Seen closely, even the face of a butterfly or bee is disturbing. Maybe strange. Perhaps we’ve been pushing insects away.(我们人类与这些六条腿的生物有着复杂的关系。还记得卡夫卡的《变形记》吗，里面一个人变成了虫子，或者维多利亚时代的故事里调皮的孩子变成了昆虫?凑近看，即使是蝴蝶或蜜蜂的脸也很让人不安，也许很奇怪。也许我们一直在把昆虫推开)”可知，我们对昆虫有负面和恐惧的看法。故选A项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Some steps may be as simple as turning off artificial light. A recent study in China found that trees in Beijing, lit by street lights at night, seem to have tougher leaves and less damage from insects. In other words, insects are probably being starved out of the area.(有些措施可能像关掉人造光一样简单。中国最近的一项研究发现，北京夜晚被路灯照亮的树木，叶子似乎更坚韧，受到昆虫的损害也更少。换句话说，昆虫可能正因这个区域的光而饿死)”可知，关掉人造光以减少光污染是减缓昆虫数量减少的一个建议措施。故选D项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第二段中“Our lives rely on a healthy insect population.(我们的生活依赖于健康的昆虫种群)”和最后一段“We should address our attitudes to insects.(我们应该改变对昆虫的态度)”可知，文章强调了昆虫对人类生活的重要性，号召人们改变对昆虫的态度，所以其目的是呼吁人们保护昆虫。故选A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。 How to Sleep Better What you do (or don’t do) before bedtime has significant impact on the quality of your sleep. ____36____ Here are a few suggestions: Go from light to dark. Darkness stimulates production of the sleep hormone. ____37____ And think about investing into warm light that you can use in the bed-room before bedtime. ____38____ Keep the bedroom a technology-free zone as the light from electronic devices can disturb your sleep. If you need to work, wear blue light blocking glasses(also known as computer glasses)throughout or before you sleep to prevent sleep disruption. Find an activity that helps you to wind down. This could be anything that calms you down, and reduces thinking. For example, listening to soothing (柔和) music, taking a hot bath, reading or meditating. Keep any electronics you have on the other side of the room or outside the room. One of the most harmful things that can disrupt your sleep is the notifications you get from your smartphones. ____39____ Create a bedtime routine. A night routine is a couple of things you do prior to going to bed. By doing these things every night, you’ll have a more restful and high-quality sleep. Adjust your sleep temperature. The ideal temperature for sleep is 60~67 Farenheit (华氏度). This may be cooler than what most people are used to. ____40____ Rule of thumb: sleeping in cooler temperature is better for sleep quality than warmer temperature. A. Avoid screens. B. Sleep better from now on. C. Turn off unused light around the house. D. The higher the temperature is, the better you sleep. E. The simplest way to avoid this is to keep it away from you. F. Many times, it can be the difference between staying up until 4 am and sleeping like a baby. G. But keep in mind that our body temperature changes once we fall asleep 【答案】36. F 37. C 38. A 39. E 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了提高睡眠质量的一些方法。 【36题详解】 上文“What you do (or don’t do) before bedtime has significant impact on the quality of your sleep.(睡前做什么（或不做什么）对你的睡眠质量有很大的影响。)”指出睡前做什么或不做什么对你的睡眠质量有很大的影响，下文“Here are a few suggestions:(以下是一些建议：)”指出一些建议，由此可知，空处承接上文，F项“很多时候，这就是熬夜到凌晨4点和像婴儿一样睡觉的区别。”具体指出睡觉前做什么和不做什么的区别所产生的影响，故选F。 【37题详解】 上文“Darkness stimulates production of the sleep hormone.(黑暗刺激睡眠荷尔蒙的产生。)”指出黑暗刺激荷尔蒙的产生，有利于睡眠，空处承接上文，所以我们要关掉灯，C项“关掉房子周围未使用的灯。”符合，故选C。 【38题详解】 此处是本段中心句，由下文“Keep the bedroom a technology-free zone as the light from electronic devices can disturb your sleep. If you need to work, wear blue light blocking glasses(also known as computer glasses)throughout or before you sleep to prevent sleep disruption.(让卧室成为一个没有科技产品的区域，因为电子设备发出的光会干扰你的睡眠。如果你需要工作，在整个睡眠过程中或睡眠前戴上蓝光阻隔眼镜（也称为电脑眼镜）以防止睡眠中断。)”可知，本段主要介绍要在睡觉前避免使用电子屏幕，A项“避开屏幕。”能概括本段内容，故选A。 【39题详解】 上文“One of the most harmful things that can disrupt your sleep is the notifications you get from your smartphones.(可以扰乱你睡眠的最有害的事情之一是你的智能手机的一些通知。)”指出智能手机能扰乱睡眠，由此可知，空处承接上文，指出我们要避免使用智能手机，即让电子设备远离自己，E项“避免这种情况最简单的方法就是让它远离你。”符合，呼应本段第一句话“Keep any electronics you have on the other side of the room or outside the room. (把你所有的电子设备放在房间的另一边或者房间外面。)”，故选E。 【40题详解】 上文“The ideal temperature for sleep is 60~67 Farenheit(华氏度). This may be cooler than what most people are used to.(理想的睡眠温度是60 ~ 67华氏度。这可能比大多数人习惯的温度更凉爽。)”指出大多数人都习惯于在更高温的环境中睡觉，下文“Rule of thumb: sleeping in cooler temperature is better for sleep quality than warmer temperature.(经验之谈: 在较低的温度下睡觉比在较高的温度下睡觉更有利于睡眠质量。)”和上文是转折关系，即实际上较低的温度更有利于睡眠质量，G项“但是记住，一旦我们入睡，我们的体温就会发生变化”符合，和上文是转折关系，同时引起下文，故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （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。 When Jim Grant spotted black smoke coming out of a building on his way to work, he____41____his car to call 911.

One evening, as she was heading back to her home from a park, Ms. Eleanor suddenly realized that her purse was missing. She retraced her steps, searching every corner of the park. Her heart sank with each passing moment, as the purse contained a treasured photograph of her departed husband, which she carried as a precious treasure. As the sun set, casting long shadows along the pavements, Ms. Eleanor felt an overwhelming sense of loss and hopelessness. In the meantime, a young man named Tom was walking home from her cherished job at the community library. As he passed by the bookshop which Ms. Eleanor had visited earlier that day, he spotted something nestled in the corner of the pavement. Interested, he picked it up and discovered it to be a well-worn leather purse. Tom opened the purse, seeking some identification to return it to its owner. It wasn’t long before he saw the cash and personal belongings inside. Recognizing the significance of what he held, he decided to wait at the spot where he found the purse, hoping that the owner would return to search for it. As nightfall blanketed the city, Ms. Eleanor, with a heavy heart, headed back to her beloved bookshop to make her last attempt to get back her purse. Her pace was slow and weary, yet her determination was strong. As she drew near to the bookshop, she noticed a figure standing under a street lamp, hold something in his hands. “Pardon me, young person. I was wondering if you happened to come across an old purse?” Ms. Eleanor inquired in a low tone The young man’s face brightened and he was about to hand the purse to the elderly lady.

Tom said, “It’s my pleasure. Forget about the money.” As the whole incident progressed, a sense of relief and enlightenment enveloped him. Tom added, “It’s I who should be grateful. Your heartfelt thanks is more precious than any money. You’ve also taught me to value my beloved ones. Nice to know you, Ms. Eleanor.” With those words, Tom prepared to depart, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.

Today we have invited professor stone to talk about the role of elderly people in our society. Welcome to our show, professor stone. To begin with, i'd like to tell a story from my own life several years ago when my grandparents were well into their eighties, they were no longer able to care for themselves very well. My grandfather was afraid of leaving the only home they had known for the past sixty years. The idea of having to sell their home and move into a retirement home was an extremely painful experience for them. Indeed, old age for them. And many older americans can mean not only the possible failure of one's health, but the loss of identity and self worth. Yes, it's true. What do you have to say about the problem of old age? Many experts have given talks here that have focused on the medical care and the development of public services for senior citizens. Today, i'd like to focus my comments on the meaningful roles that elderly can play and should play in our society. Hello, ladies and gentleman.
