The Louvre is an amazing museum where you will find famous works from the Venus de Milo and the Mona Lisa to the Psyche Revived by Cupid’s Kiss. There is something here for all kinds of art lovers.
How to Skip the Line at the Louvre
Being the largest art museum in the world, it is busy, especially in the high season. But, there are a few ways you can get ahead of the crowds to save some time.
Book your tickets online in advance. Its official website says if you buy your tickets in advance, the wait is never more than 30 minutes. Or get The Paris City Pass or The Paris Museum Pass. Both of these allow you to skip the line at the Louvre. If you don’t want to spend the additional money on one of the above passes and can not book your ticket in advance, you can jump on a tour. I recommend the Fast Track Highlights Tour or the Timed Entrance Ticket if you want to explore on your own. Please note that you will still have to wait in the security line, but this is often much shorter.
Don’t forget to admire the outside from all angles at the Glass Pyramid, which is also the entrance. It is a great addition to the original architecture of the Louvre. For a photo with almost no people, return later at night. The scene takes on a different feel and the square is nearly empty.
Hours: Monday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm
Wednesday and Friday from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm
Location: 1st Arrondissement Pyramide du Louvre — 75001 Paris
Metro Stop: Palais Royal — Musée du Louvre, Yellow Line 1, Pink Line 7
1. What can we learn about the Fast Track Highlights Tour?
A. It may not offer guided tours. B. It only allows entry to certain exhibits.
C. It has to be booked in advance. D. It can shorten the wait in the security line.
2. When is the museum closed?
A. On Monday. B. On Tuesday. C. On Wednesday. D. On Sunday.
3. Where is the text most probably taken from?
A. A news report. B. The museum’s official website.
C. A visitor’s blog. D. A travel agency’s advertisement.

Arshad Nadeem made history at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The 27-year-old set a new Olympic record for the longest javelin throw — 92.97 meters and has become the first Pakistani to secure an individual gold medal at the Olympic Games. To celebrate the historic victory, the government gave him a Honda Civic car which has a special registration number of “PAK 92.97” and a record amount of money: 250 million rupees ($897,000).
And one more historic thing: He is undoubtedly the first Olympic champion to receive a buffalo as a gift from his father-in-law.
“I had been hoping for a piece of land since my father-in-law is wealthy,” Nadeem said seriously when a TV show host joked about the gift. “But a buffalo is far more valuable than that.”
Actually that’s an understatement. The buffalo holds deep cultural significance in Nadeem’s hometown. “In rural communities, a buffalo is considered one of the most honorable and valuable gifts, much like camels in desert regions like Saudi Arabia,” said Rashad Bukhari, a cultural commentator born and raised in Punjab.
Buffalo, which are called the “black gold” of Pakistan, are also valued for their milk. With a higher nutrition content than cow’s milk, buffalo milk makes up 72% of the nation’s milk supply. The milk is also well-suited to make ghee, a special butter that is a key part of the Pakistani diet.
“An average buffalo lives for about 20 years. A female usually starts producing milk after birthing a first calf at 3 years old. Then it will continue giving milk for the rest of its life even if the calf is not around,” explained Dr. Burhan-e-Azam, an animal nutritionist at a buffalo research institute. “That’s why Pakistanis call a buffalo ‘a poor man’s bank’.”
The importance of a buffalo for Punjab can be shown from the fact that in ancient times it was part of the downy (嫁妆). But for Nadeem, the buffalo is not just symbolic. “My father-in-law’s gift ensures that I will have fresh milk as I train for my next competition,” added the javelin king.
4. What does “PAK 92.97” in the first paragraph stand for?
A. The date of the record-breaking event.
B. The new Olympic record set by a Pakistani.
C. The price of the car given to the javelin king.
D. The birth date of the Pakistani Olympic champion.
5. Why did Rashad Bukhari mention the camels?
A. To stress the symbolism of a buffalo. B. To illustrate the size of a buffalo.
C. To show the surviving ability of a buffalo. D. To compare the nutrition content.
6. What is special about ghee?
A. It is black. B. It is rare in Pakistan.
C. It is nutritious. D. It is made from cow’s milk.
7. What message has Arshad Nadeem most probably got from the buffalo gift?
A. The dowry is very traditional. B. His country needs more victories.
C. His wife’s family is very poor. D. His father-in-law loves him deeply.
C
As New York City started to fill up with more and more people in the early 19th century, the government began to realize that land for a central park would have to be set aside then, or not at all.
Eventually, on July 21, 1853, the passage of the Central Park Act made the park project official. Egbert Viele was chosen as chief engineer from 1856 — 1858. He came up with the first design, which was soon rejected. Then the government held a competition from 1857 — 1858 to get other proposals. Out of 33 entries, Calvert Vaux (1824 — 1895) and Frederick Law Olmsted (1822 — 1903) submitted the winning design, called the Greensward Plan.
The word “greensward” refers to a huge natural green space. Achieving such an effect on the chosen site, however, was going to be quite a challenge. First of all, they had to deal with the two reservoirs (水库) within the site. In the end, they used trees to hide the older one, and designed a walking path around the new one. The older reservoir was abandoned in 1890 and was turned into the Great Lawn in the 1930s. The newer reservoir was out of service in 1993 but still exists.
In addition, the government required that the park have four roads running through the park to let people travel across the city. Vaux and Olmsted proposed to build the roads far below the ground level, removing them from sight and minimizing their effect on the peaceful park experience. The clever treatment of these roads helped them eventually win the job.
Although the Greensward Plan stressed natural scenery, it also included a large number of man-made elements, such as The Mall, Bethesda Terrace, and the Belvedere. The Mall is a quarter-mile-long, tree-lined area within the Central Park. Vaux and Olmsted considered it essential as a place for New Yorkers of all walks to meet and socialize in a natural environment. So were Bethesda Terrace and the Belvedere.
In 1980, the Central Park Conservancy was established to preserve the park — protecting Vaux and Olmsted’s vision of urban greenery for future generations.
8. When was the park project officially approved?
A. In 1853. B. In 1856. C. In 1857. D. In 1858.
9. How did Vaux and Olmsted deal with the older reservoir?
A. They built a path along its bank. B. They filled it up with soil.
C. They turned it into the Great Lawn. D. They planted trees around it.
10. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A. The heavy traffic in the park. B. A highlight of the design.
C. The effect of noise on the public. D. A challenging condition of the site.
11 Which of the following can best describe the Greensward Plan?
A. It ignored necessary socializing space. B. It focused on protecting urban greenery.
C. It stressed peaceful experience for the public. D. It was too idealistic and costly to be carried out.
D
Nowadays, a growing number of investors start to question the limitations of AI, which powers services such as ChatGPT. However, if you raise this issue with technologists, it is very likely that they will ask, “Haven’t you heard of the term ‘hype cycle’?”
Hype cycle is common knowledge in the hi-tech industry: After an initial period of enthusiasm and over-investment everyone starts to worry that adoption of the breakthrough technology is too slow. But the investment that has accompanied the wave of enthusiasm will push the new technology towards mainstream adoption.
It is certainly helpful in explaining the evolution of some older technologies. Trains are a classic example. Railway fever caught hold of the 19th-century Britain. Hoping for huge returns, everyone from Charles Darwin to John Stuart Mill threw money into railway stocks (股票). A crash followed. However, the railway companies used the money they had raised to build railways, which transformed the economy. The hype cycle was complete.
“The future of AI is just going to be like every other technology,” says Noah Smith, an economics commentator.
Unfortunately, hype cycle might not be a perfect guide if you turn to the history of technology for a sense of AI’s future. For starters, AI has for decades experienced periods of enthusiasm and despair, but without moving to the final stage of the hype cycle. There was lots of excitement over AI in the 1960s. This was followed by AI winters in the 1970s and 1990s. As late as 2020, research interest in AI was declining. Then it went up again after ChatGPT came along.
It is also easy to think of many other influential technologies that have not gone through the hype cycle. Cloud computing went from zero to hero in a pretty straight line. Social media seems to be behaving in the same way. On the other side, an alarming number of technologies are just flashes in the pan. Do you remember Web 3 and 3D printers? They quickly moved from excitement to panic, but did not come back in any meaningful sense.
12. What is the technologists’ attitude to AI?
A. Skeptical. B. Positive. C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear.
13. Which invention fits well with the so-called hype cycle?
A. ChatGPT. B. 3D printers. C. Trains. D. Cloud computing.
14. Which best explains the phrase “flashes in the pan” in the last paragraph?
A. Successes that last only a short time. B. Trends that can be easily popularized.
C. Things that are immediately accepted. D. Products that can bring in huge profits.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. How Does Hype Cycle Usually Work?
B. Is It Too Risky to Invest in Stocks Now?
C. When Would Be the Best Time to Invest in AI?
D. Can Hype Cycle Help Investors Predict AI’s Future?

About two years ago, I wanted to lose some weight. So I turned to a cabbage soup diet. Twice a week, I would just eat cabbage soup all day long — breakfast, lunch and dinner. I lost some weight, but eating this cabbage soup just drove me crazy. ____16____
Actually, what I have gone through is the typical pattern to weight loss on a really strict diet. ____17____ Then slowly, they start to regain some or all of the weight they lost. In many cases, they even end up heavier than they started.
The main reason is that it is very hard to stick to a strict diet — even if that diet is more balanced than an all-cabbage approach. ____18____ For us, food is not just fuel. Food is comfort. Food is celebration. Food is the world’s oldest social network. To suggest that we need to eat in the name of health denies the importance of all those things that are hugely important.
____19____
Instead of aiming for weight goals, focus on behavioral goals. Our body, our job demands and our environments are all different. In many cases, they are factors we cannot change. So instead of setting specific weight-loss goals, such as losing a pound a week, we can set behavior goals that are in our control. For example, we can take in less sweet drinks and quit fast food. ____20____
A. Actually, it is understandable.
B. Here the weight loss is the focus.
C. After a while, I gave up, and the weight I’d lost came back.
D. So forget about the diet and approach weight loss differently.
E. Basically, people lose weight for the first four to six months.
F. I eventually adopted a healthy and balanced diet that I can actually enjoy.
G. If we can quit such bad habits, it is very likely that we will reduce our weight.

“I didn’t ____23____ it was Keith Urban. I assumed that he didn’t have enough ____24____ to pay for his things. So I said I would do it for him. The ____25____ thing is that when he told me who he was, I briefly didn’t ____26____ it was him,” Reed wrote on her social media account.
Reed ____27____ that she has been helping pay for other people’s goods at the store for three years.
“I have made a (n) ____28____ to once a week help someone at the store. ____29____, it happens more than once a week,” she added. “This man seemed to be _____30_____ a few dollars and he asked a lady with him if she had money. I _____31_____ to pay and explained why. He _____32_____ me and asked my name. I asked him his and he told me it was Keith Urban.”
“I said that he did look like Keith Urban and that I didn’t believe him. He finally said that I could _____33_____ his bodyguard. It was then that I realized how _____34_____ I was. He then _____35_____ me to take a picture with him. Another Ruth Reed moment!” she wrote.

“Participants, please gather behind the red flag,” a man’s voice came from the loud speaker.
Hannah tightened her helmet (头盔) and felt very excited since she was determined to win a blue mountain bike, the reward for the champion in the Five-mile Junior Fat-tire Race.
“On such a bike I’d fly in more important races in the future,” she thought.
“Good luck, junior mountain bikers,” the man’s voice came again. “Three, two, one, and go!”
Standing in front of the flag was a teacher who would lead the way. When the teacher rode down the dirt road, all the racers followed closely. Riding beside Hannah was her classmate Ruth, who was known for her dangerous competing behavior.
About ten minutes later, Ruth made an unexpected sharp turn and cut into Hannah’s track. Hannah was forced to slow down and ride behind her.
When they came to a slope (坡), Hannah slowed down, but Ruth was still gaining speed and disappeared behind a thick forest. Looking back over her shoulders, Hannah saw nobody in sight. Hannah biked through the forest. She still could not see her only competitor.
“Oh, Ruth wins,” she thought, without slowing down. “The blue mountain bike is hers, not mine!”
Hannah crossed a wooden bridge and then saw the girl at the edge of the forest. The teacher was helping her to sit down beside her bike.
“What happened?” Hannah wondered. “Perhaps, this is the best chance for me to win the race.”
Hannah dried the sweat on her forehead and pushed on. But the teacher noticed her and jumped on his bike to lead the way again. When he caught up, Hannah asked what was the matter with Ruth.
“She fell off her bike and hurt one of her legs. I hope I could stay with her now,” the teacher said. “But, don’t worry too much. I have called the medical team and they are on the way.”
On hearing this, Hannah came to a sudden stop and turned around her bike.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“What are you doing, Hannah?” the teacher asked in surprise.

Arshad Nadeem made history at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The 27-year-old set a new Olympic record for the longest javelin throw — 92.97 meters and has become the first Pakistani to secure an individual gold medal at the Olympic Games. To celebrate the historic victory, the government gave him a Honda Civic car which has a special registration number of “PAK 92.97” and a record amount of money: 250 million rupees ($897,000).
And one more historic thing: He is undoubtedly the first Olympic champion to receive a buffalo as a gift from his father-in-law.
“I had been hoping for a piece of land since my father-in-law is wealthy,” Nadeem said seriously when a TV show host joked about the gift. “But a buffalo is far more valuable than that.”
Actually that’s an understatement. The buffalo holds deep cultural significance in Nadeem’s hometown. “In rural communities, a buffalo is considered one of the most honorable and valuable gifts, much like camels in desert regions like Saudi Arabia,” said Rashad Bukhari, a cultural commentator born and raised in Punjab.
Buffalo, which are called the “black gold” of Pakistan, are also valued for their milk. With a higher nutrition content than cow’s milk, buffalo milk makes up 72% of the nation’s milk supply. The milk is also well-suited to make ghee, a special butter that is a key part of the Pakistani diet.
“An average buffalo lives for about 20 years. A female usually starts producing milk after birthing a first calf at 3 years old. Then it will continue giving milk for the rest of its life even if the calf is not around,” explained Dr. Burhan-e-Azam, an animal nutritionist at a buffalo research institute. “That’s why Pakistanis call a buffalo ‘a poor man’s bank’.”
The importance of a buffalo for Punjab can be shown from the fact that in ancient times it was part of the downy (嫁妆). But for Nadeem, the buffalo is not just symbolic. “My father-in-law’s gift ensures that I will have fresh milk as I train for my next competition,” added the javelin king.
4. What does “PAK 92.97” in the first paragraph stand for?
A. The date of the record-breaking event.
B. The new Olympic record set by a Pakistani.
C. The price of the car given to the javelin king.
D. The birth date of the Pakistani Olympic champion.
5. Why did Rashad Bukhari mention the camels?
A. To stress the symbolism of a buffalo. B. To illustrate the size of a buffalo.
C. To show the surviving ability of a buffalo. D. To compare the nutrition content.
6. What is special about ghee?
A. It is black. B. It is rare in Pakistan.
C. It is nutritious. D. It is made from cow’s milk.
7. What message has Arshad Nadeem most probably got from the buffalo gift?
A. The dowry is very traditional. B. His country needs more victories.
C. His wife’s family is very poor. D. His father-in-law loves him deeply.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。本文讲述了2024年巴黎奥运会上,巴基斯坦标枪运动员Arshad Nadeem创造了新的奥运纪录,并获得了包括一辆特殊车牌号的本田思域汽车、巨额奖金以及一头水牛在内的奖励。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The 27-year-old set a new Olympic record for the longest javelin throw — 92.97 meters.(这位27岁的运动员创造了奥运会标枪投掷最远的新纪录——92.97米。)”和“To celebrate the historic victory, the government gave him a Honda Civic car which has a special registration number of ‘PAK 92.97’.(为了庆祝这一历史性的胜利,政府送给他一辆本田思域汽车,车牌号为‘PAK 92.97’。)”可知,“PAK 92.97”代表的是Arshad Nadeem创造的新的奥运纪录92.97米。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“In rural communities, a buffalo is considered one of the most honorable and valuable gifts, much like camels in desert regions like Saudi Arabia.(在农村社区,水牛被认为是最尊贵、最有价值的礼物之一,就像沙特阿拉伯等沙漠地区的骆驼一样。)”可知,Rashad Bukhari提到骆驼是为了强调水牛在农村社区中的重要象征意义。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The milk is also well-suited to make ghee, a special butter that is a key part of the Pakistani diet.(这种牛奶也很适合制作ghee,这是一种特殊的黄油,是巴基斯坦饮食的关键部分。)”可推测出,ghee作为巴基斯坦饮食的关键部分,应该是很有营养的。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But for Nadeem, the buffalo is not just symbolic. ‘My father-in-law’s gift ensures that I will have fresh milk as I train for my next competition,’ added the javelin king.(但对Nadeem来说,这头水牛不仅仅具有象征意义。这位标枪之王补充说:‘我岳父礼物确保我在为下一场比赛训练时有新鲜的牛奶喝’。)”可知,Nadeem的岳父送给他一头水牛是为了确保他在训练时有新鲜的牛奶喝,这显示出岳父对他的深深的爱。故选D。
C
As New York City started to fill up with more and more people in the early 19th century, the government began to realize that land for a central park would have to be set aside then, or not at all.
Eventually, on July 21, 1853, the passage of the Central Park Act made the park project official. Egbert Viele was chosen as chief engineer from 1856 — 1858. He came up with the first design, which was soon rejected. Then the government held a competition from 1857 — 1858 to get other proposals. Out of 33 entries, Calvert Vaux (1824 — 1895) and Frederick Law Olmsted (1822 — 1903) submitted the winning design, called the Greensward Plan.
The word “greensward” refers to a huge natural green space. Achieving such an effect on the chosen site, however, was going to be quite a challenge. First of all, they had to deal with the two reservoirs (水库) within the site. In the end, they used trees to hide the older one, and designed a walking path around the new one. The older reservoir was abandoned in 1890 and was turned into the Great Lawn in the 1930s. The newer reservoir was out of service in 1993 but still exists.
In addition, the government required that the park have four roads running through the park to let people travel across the city. Vaux and Olmsted proposed to build the roads far below the ground level, removing them from sight and minimizing their effect on the peaceful park experience. The clever treatment of these roads helped them eventually win the job.
Although the Greensward Plan stressed natural scenery, it also included a large number of man-made elements, such as The Mall, Bethesda Terrace, and the Belvedere. The Mall is a quarter-mile-long, tree-lined area within the Central Park. Vaux and Olmsted considered it essential as a place for New Yorkers of all walks to meet and socialize in a natural environment. So were Bethesda Terrace and the Belvedere.
In 1980, the Central Park Conservancy was established to preserve the park — protecting Vaux and Olmsted’s vision of urban greenery for future generations.
8. When was the park project officially approved?
A. In 1853. B. In 1856. C. In 1857. D. In 1858.
9. How did Vaux and Olmsted deal with the older reservoir?
A. They built a path along its bank. B. They filled it up with soil.
C. They turned it into the Great Lawn. D. They planted trees around it.
10. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A. The heavy traffic in the park. B. A highlight of the design.
C. The effect of noise on the public. D. A challenging condition of the site.
11. Which of the following can best describe the Greensward Plan?
A. It ignored necessary socializing space. B. It focused on protecting urban greenery.
C. It stressed peaceful experience for the public. D. It was too idealistic and costly to be carried out.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C

Nowadays, a growing number of investors start to question the limitations of AI, which powers services such as ChatGPT. However, if you raise this issue with technologists, it is very likely that they will ask, “Haven’t you heard of the term ‘hype cycle’?”
Hype cycle is common knowledge in the hi-tech industry: After an initial period of enthusiasm and over-investment, everyone starts to worry that adoption of the breakthrough technology is too slow. But the investment that has accompanied the wave of enthusiasm will push the new technology towards mainstream adoption.
It is certainly helpful in explaining the evolution of some older technologies. Trains are a classic example. Railway fever caught hold of the 19th-century Britain. Hoping for huge returns, everyone from Charles Darwin to John Stuart Mill threw money into railway stocks (股票). A crash followed. However, the railway companies used the money they had raised to build railways, which transformed the economy. The hype cycle was complete.
“The future of AI is just going to be like every other technology,” says Noah Smith, an economics commentator.
Unfortunately, hype cycle might not be a perfect guide if you turn to the history of technology for a sense of AI’s future. For starters, AI has for decades experienced periods of enthusiasm and despair, but without moving to the final stage of the hype cycle. There was lots of excitement over AI in the 1960s. This was followed by AI winters in the 1970s and 1990s. As late as 2020, research interest in AI was declining. Then it went up again after ChatGPT came along.
It is also easy to think of many other influential technologies that have not gone through the hype cycle. Cloud computing went from zero to hero in a pretty straight line. Social media seems to be behaving in the same way. On the other side, an alarming number of technologies are just flashes in the pan. Do you remember Web 3 and 3D printers? They quickly moved from excitement to panic, but did not come back in any meaningful sense.
12. What is the technologists’ attitude to AI?
A. Skeptical. B. Positive. C. Unconcerned. D. Unclear.
13. Which invention fits well with the so-called hype cycle?
A. ChatGPT. B. 3D printers. C. Trains. D. Cloud computing.
14. Which best explains the phrase “flashes in the pan” in the last paragraph?
A. Successes that last only a short time. B. Trends that can be easily popularized.
C. Things that are immediately accepted. D. Products that can bring in huge profits.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. How Does Hype Cycle Usually Work?
B. Is It Too Risky to Invest in Stocks Now?
C. When Would Be the Best Time to Invest in AI?
D. Can Hype Cycle Help Investors Predict AI’s Future?
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了技术炒作周期是否能帮助投资者预测人工智能的未来。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Hype cycle is common knowledge in the hi-tech industry: After an initial period of enthusiasm and over-investment, everyone starts to worry that adoption of the breakthrough technology is too slow. But the investment that has accompanied the wave of enthusiasm will push the new technology towards mainstream adoption.(炒作周期在高科技行业是常识:在最初的热情和过度投资之后,每个人都开始担心这项突破性技术的采用速度太慢。但伴随热情浪潮的投资将推动新技术走向主流应用。)”可知,技术专家认为虽然人工智能现在备受质疑,但是根据炒作周期,它最终会被主流接受,所以他们对人工智能持积极的态度。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Trains are a classic example. Railway fever caught hold of the 19th-century Britain. Hoping for huge returns, everyone from Charles Darwin to John Stuart Mill threw money into railway stocks (股票). A crash followed. However, the railway companies used the money they had raised to build railways, which transformed the economy. The hype cycle was complete.(火车就是一个经典的例子。19世纪的英国兴起了铁路热。从查尔斯·达尔文到约翰·斯图亚特·密尔,每个人都希望获得巨额回报,纷纷将资金投入铁路股票。随后股市崩盘。然而,铁路公司利用筹集到的资金修建铁路,从而改变了经济。炒作周期完成。)”可知,火车的发展符合炒作周期。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“Do you remember Web 3 and 3D printers? They quickly moved from excitement to panic, but did not come back in any meaningful sense.(你还记得Web 3和3D打印机吗?它们很快从令人兴奋走向了令人恐慌,但并没有在任何有意义层面上卷土重来。)”可知,作者提到Web 3和3D打印机很快从兴奋到恐慌,但没有真正意义上回归,说明它们只是短暂的成功或流行,所以“flashes in the pan”指的是“仅持续很短时间的成功”。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章第一段提到越来越多的投资者开始质疑人工智能的局限性,而技术专家会用“炒作周期”来回应这种质疑,第二段解释了炒作周期在高科技行业是常识,第三段以火车为例说明炒作周期,第四段提到人工智能的未来就像其他技术一样,会经历炒作周期,第五段指出人工智能几十年来经历了热情和绝望的时期,但没有进入炒作周期的最后阶段,最后一段提到许多其他有影响力的技术并没有经历炒作周期,有些技术只是昙花一现。由此可知,文章主要讨论了技术炒作周期是否能帮助投资者预测人工智能的未来,故选项D:Can Hype Cycle Help Investors Predict AI’s Future?(Hype Cycle能否帮助投资者预测人工智能的未来?)最能概括文章主旨,可作为本文最佳标题。故选D。

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。
About two years ago, I wanted to lose some weight. So I turned to a cabbage soup diet. Twice a week, I would just eat cabbage soup all day long — breakfast, lunch and dinner. I lost some weight, but eating this cabbage soup just drove me crazy. ____16____
Actually, what I have gone through is the typical pattern to weight loss on a really strict diet. ____17____ Then slowly, they start to regain some or all of the weight they lost. In many cases, they even end up heavier than they started.
The main reason is that it is very hard to stick to a strict diet — even if that diet is more balanced than an all-cabbage approach. ____18____ For us food is not just fuel. Food is comfort. Food is celebration. Food is the world’s oldest social network. To suggest that we need to eat in the name of health denies the importance of all those things that are hugely important.
____19____
Instead of aiming for weight goals, focus on behavioral goals. Our body, our job demands and our environments are all different. In many cases, they are factors we cannot change. So instead of setting specific weight-loss goals, such as losing a pound a week, we can set behavior goals that are in our control. For example, we can take in less sweet drinks and quit fast food. ____20____
A. Actually, it is understandable.
B. Here the weight loss is the focus.
C. After a while, I gave up, and the weight I’d lost came back.
D. So forget about the diet and approach weight loss differently.
E. Basically, people lose weight for the first four to six months.
F. I eventually adopted a healthy and balanced diet that I can actually enjoy.
G. If we can quit such bad habits, it is very likely that we will reduce our weight.

【16题详解】
上文“I lost some weight, but eating this cabbage soup just drove me crazy.(我减掉了一些体重,但是吃这种卷心菜汤让我快疯了。)”提到作者为了减肥吃卷心菜汤感到很疯狂,难以坚持下去,空处需要承接上文,说明减肥的结果。选项C“过了一段时间,我放弃了,减掉的体重又回来了”说明作者最终因为难以忍受而放弃了这种减肥方法,并且体重反弹了,符合语境。故选C。

Food is comfort. Food is celebration. Food is the world’s oldest social network. To suggest that we need to eat in the name of health denies the importance of all those things that are hugely important.(对我们来说,食物不仅仅是燃料。食物是安慰。食物是庆祝。食物是世界上最古老的社交网络。建议我们以健康的名义进食,否认了所有这些非常重要的事情的重要性。)”提到食物对我们的重要性,不仅仅是为了健康。选项A“实际上,这是可以理解的”承上启下,说明因为食物对我们的意义重大,所以我们很难坚持严格的饮食是可以理解的,符合语境。故选A。
【19题详解】
下文“Instead of aiming for weight goals, focus on behavioral goals.(不要以体重目标为目标,而要以行为目标为重点。)”提出了一个新的减肥方法,即关注行为目标而不是体重目标。选项D“所以忘掉节食,用不同的方法减肥”引出下文,说明要放弃之前的节食方法,尝试一种新的减肥方式,符合语境。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了大熊猫的生活习性、繁殖特点以及保护现状。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:要满足其日常所需,需要28磅竹子。It takes… to do sth为固定句型,空处需填动词不定式。故填to satisfy。
【37题详解】
考查代词。句意:熊猫经常被看到以一种放松的坐姿进食,两条腿伸在身前。此处作介词before的宾语,指代pandas,应用宾格形式them;也可以用反身代词themselves,表示“它们自己”。故填them/themselves。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意:它们可能看起来很温顺,但实际上它们是熟练的爬树高手和高效的游泳者。此处作表语,应用形容词peaceful,表示“温顺的”。故填peaceful。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:大熊猫具有高度发达的嗅觉,雄性大熊猫利用这一嗅觉在春季避免彼此相遇,并寻找雌性大熊猫进行交配。此处修饰形容词developed,应用副词highly,表示“高度地”。故填highly。
【40题详解】
考查连词。句意:经过五个月的怀孕期后,雌性大熊猫会生下一到两只幼崽,但它们无法同时照顾两只。此处表示选择关系,应用连词or,表示“或者”。故填or。
【41题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:刚出生的幼崽是盲眼的,体重只有5盎司,直到三个月大时才能爬行。此处作主语,表示“幼崽”,应用名词baby;由后文weigh可知,谓语为复数形式,故主语也应用复数形式babies。故填babies。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:保护工作的加强和调查方法的改进显示出野生大熊猫数量的增加。此处作定语修饰名词conservation efforts,且improve与conservation efforts之间为被动关系,故应用过去分词形式improved,注意首字母大写。故填Improved。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意同上。此处泛指“一次增加”,且increase为元音音素开头的单词,故应用不定冠词an。故填an。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:还有数百只大熊猫生活在研究中心和动物园里,它们总是这些地方最受欢迎的景点之一。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词research centers and zoos,且先行词在从句中作介词in的宾语,指物,故应用关系代词which。故填which。
【45题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:我们对大熊猫的大多数了解都来自于对这些圈养动物的研究,因为它们的野生同类非常罕见。此处作谓语,陈述客观事实用一般现在时,且主语为Much of what we know about pandas,中心词为much,为不可数名词,谓语应用第三人称单数形式。故填comes。

I have just received your email and learned that you found it difficult to understand a novel named Journey to the West. It is understandable since the book was written hundreds of years ago. However, if you don’t give up, you will find the story very interesting.

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Participants, please gather behind the red flag,” a man’s voice came from the loud speaker.
Hannah tightened her helmet (头盔) and felt very excited since she was determined to win a blue mountain bike, the reward for the champion in the Five-mile Junior Fat-tire Race.
“On such a bike, I’d fly in more important races in the future,” she thought.
“Good luck, junior mountain bikers,” the man’s voice came again. “Three, two, one, and go!”
Standing in front of the flag was a teacher who would lead the way. When the teacher rode down the dirt road, all the racers followed closely. Riding beside Hannah was her classmate Ruth, who was known for her dangerous competing behavior.
About ten minutes later, Ruth made an unexpected sharp turn and cut into Hannah’s track. Hannah was forced to slow down and ride behind her.
When they came to a slope (坡), Hannah slowed down, but Ruth was still gaining speed and disappeared behind a thick forest. Looking back over her shoulders, Hannah saw nobody in sight. Hannah biked through the forest. She still could not see her only competitor.
“Oh, Ruth wins,” she thought, without slowing down. “The blue mountain bike is hers, not mine!”
Hannah crossed a wooden bridge and then saw the girl at the edge of the forest. The teacher was helping her to sit down beside her bike.
“What happened?” Hannah wondered. “Perhaps, this is the best chance for me to win the race.”
Hannah dried the sweat on her forehead and pushed on. But the teacher noticed her and jumped on his bike to lead the way again. When he caught up, Hannah asked what was the matter with Ruth.
“She fell off her bike and hurt one of her legs. I hope I could stay with her now,” the teacher said. “But, don’t worry too much. I have called the medical team and they are on the way.”
On hearing this, Hannah came to a sudden stop and turned around her bike.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“What are you doing Hannah?” the teacher asked in surprise.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ruth’s face became very red.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
“What are you doing, Hannah?” the teacher asked in surprise. Hannah did not reply and rushed toward the place where Ruth was left. When she approached Ruth, she could see fear and pain in her eyes. Hannah got off her bike and sat down beside Ruth who asked why her victim came to her rescue. “Maybe, it is a good chance to win this race. But I don’t want my enemy to become food for the animals in the forest,” Hannah joked. “I want to defeat her later.”
Ruth’s face became very red. She apologized for her dangerous behavior on the way and urged Hannah to continue her race. But Hannah refused to give in. “The teacher said that the medical team is coming soon. I will wait here until they come,” Hannah comforted her. Just then the teacher arrived. On hearing this, he said, “You are already the champion of this race in terms of sportsmanship, even if you wouldn’t be the first to cross the finish line.”
【解析】
【导语】文章以人物为线索展开,讲述了Hannah怀揣着赢得冠军奖品——一辆蓝色山地自行车的决心参加了比赛。在比赛过程中,她的同学Ruth因危险的竞技行为一度领先,但在一个坡道后,Hannah发现Ruth意外受伤,老师正在旁边照顾她。尽管这是Hannah赢得比赛的最佳机会,但她在得知Ruth受伤的情况后,选择了停下并考虑返回,展现了体育精神中的友谊和同情心。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段首句内容““Hannah,你在做什么?”老师惊讶地问。”可知,第一段可描写Hannah救助Ruth的经过并解释原因。
②由第二段首句内容“Ruth的脸涨得通红。”可知,第二段可描写Ruth让Hannah继续比赛但是Hannah拒绝了并安慰Ruth,老师表扬了Hannah。
2.续写线索:救助Ruth——感到恐惧和痛苦——解释原因——催促Hannah比赛——拒绝并安慰Ruth——老师表扬
3.词汇激活
行为类
①回复:reply/respond
②靠近:approach/draw near
③想要做某事:want to do sth/would like to do sth
④拒绝:refuse/turn down
情绪类
①恐惧:fear/fright
②痛苦:pain/suffering
