The Pack Horse Library initiative was part of President Franklin Roosevelt’s Works Progress Administration (WPA), created to help lift America out of the Great Depression, during which, by 1933, unemployment had risen to 40 percent in Appalachia. This initiative was an opportunity to boost both employment and literacy at the same time. The WPA paid the book carriers salaries. Counties had to have their own base libraries from which the horse-riding librarians would travel. Local schools helped cover those costs, and the reading materials — books, magazines, and newspapers — were all donated. The book women rode 100 to 120 miles a week, on their own horses or mules, along planned routes, regardless of the weather. If the destination was too remote even for horses, they dismounted and went on foot. In most cases, the book women were hired locally — according to historian Donald C. Boyd, “a familiar face to otherwise distrustful mountain folk.” By the end of 1938, there were 274 librarians riding out across 29 counties. In total, the program employed nearly 1,000 riding librarians. In addition to providing reading materials, the book women served as touchstones for these communities. They tried to fill book requests, sometimes stopped to read to those who couldn’t, and helped develop local pride. As one recipient said, “The books you brought us have saved our lives. It s our duty to visit the library and to help in every way that we can, so that we may keep it as an active actor in our community.” 24. What did the Pack Horse Library initiative aim to do? A. Link remote communities. B. Enrich life in the country. C. Support the local schools. D. Provide job opportunities. 25. Which aspect of the initiative is presented in paragraph 3? A. The operation mode. B. The librarian selection. C. The historical background. D. The community engagement. 26. What was the main reason for most of the book women being hired locally? A. They were excellent horse riders. B. They were familiar with the routes. C. They could be trusted more easily. D. They could be hired at a low cost. 27. What can the book women be regarded as according to the last paragraph? A. Social activists. B. Community facilitators. C. Information providers. D. Book reviewers. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了美国肯塔基州“驮马图书馆”计划的相关内容。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The Pack Horse Library initiative was part of President Franklin Roosevelt’s Works Progress Administration (WPA), created to help lift America out of the Great Depression.(驮马图书馆计划是富兰克林•罗斯福总统的工程进度管理局(WPA)的一部分，该计划旨在帮助美国摆脱大萧条。)”和“This initiative was an opportunity to boost both employment and literacy at the same time.(这一计划是一个同时提高就业率和识字率的机会。)”可知，驮马图书馆计划旨在提供就业机会。故选D。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“The WPA paid the book carriers salaries. Counties had to have their own base libraries from which the horse-riding librarians would travel. Local schools helped cover those costs, and the reading materials — books, magazines, and newspapers — were all donated.(工程进度管理局给图书搬运工发工资。各县必须有自己的基础图书馆，骑马的图书管理员可以从那里出发。当地学校帮助支付这些费用，而阅读材料——书籍、杂志和报纸——都是捐赠的。)”可知，第三段介绍了该计划的运作模式。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“In most cases, the book women were hired locally — according to historian Donald C. Boyd, “a familiar face to otherwise distrustful mountain folk”.(在大多数情况下，女性图书管理员都是在当地雇佣的——根据历史学家唐纳德•C•博伊德的说法，“对于那些本来多疑的山区居民来说，她们是一张熟悉的面孔”。)”可知，大多数女性图书管理员在当地被聘用的主要原因是她们更容易被信任。故选C。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“In addition to providing reading materials, the book women served as touchstones for these communities. They tried to fill book requests, sometimes stopped to read to those who couldn’t, and helped develop local pride.(除了提供阅读材料外，女性图书管理员还成为这些社区的试金石。她们尽量满足书籍的需求，有时会停下来为那些不会读书的人读书，并帮助培养当地的自豪感。)”可知，女性图书管理员不仅提供阅读材料，还促进社区发展，所以可以被视为社区促进者。故选B。 C Recent research reveals that the adoption of generative artificial intelligence (AI) by companies in the US has a disproportionate impact on women. According to a recent analysis, approximately 79% of the jobs lost to AI were held by women. This difference can be due to several factors. Women are more likely to work in industries that are highly be influenced by automation, such as retail, hospitality, and administrative support. These sectors often involve repetitive tasks that can be easily automated by AI technologies. Consequently, women employed in these industries face a higher risk of job displacement. Gender biases in AI algorithms (运算法则) can worsen the situation for women. AI systems are trained on historical data which may reflect existing gender biases in hiring and promotion practices. This can result in biased decision-making during recruitment and performance evaluations, putting women at a disadvantage in the workplace. The lack of diversity in the development of AI technologies contributes to the gender difference. The underrepresentation (代表名额不足) of women in the field of AI means that their perspectives and experiences are not adequately considered during the design and development process. As a result, AI systems may not fully understand or cater to the needs of women, continuously leading to gender inequalities. To address these challenges, it is crucial to prioritize diversity and inclusion in the development and deployment of AI technologies. This involves increasing the representation of women in AI-related fields and ensuring diverse perspectives are considered during the design and testing phases. Additionally, companies should actively work towards eliminating gender biases in AI algorithms and regularly assess their impact on different demographic groups. In conclusion, although men currently dominate the labor market, women bear a disproportionate burden due to the adoption of generative AI. The combination of industry composition, gender biases in algorithms, and lack of diversity in AI development contribute to this disparity. To relieve these effects, it is essential to prioritize diversity and inclusion in AI development and address gender biases in algorithms. Only through these efforts can we ensure that the benefits of AI are distributed equitably among all individuals, regardless of gender. 28. Why are women in the US workforce more influenced by the adoption of generative AI than men? A. Women are less adaptable to technological changes. B. Women have a lower level of education compared to men. C. Women are generally less skilled in technology and AI-related fields. D. Women are more likely to work in industries that are highly automatable. 29. Which of the following strategies can reduce the potential negative impact on women? A. Increasing gender proportion in AI development teams. B. Providing targeted training and programs for women and giving them more chances in AI-related fields. C. Encouraging women to pursue careers in non-automatable industries. D. Offering financial supports to companies that prioritize gender diversity in AI programmes. 30. Why is it important to prioritize diversity and inclusion in AI development? A. It ensures equal opportunities for women in the workforce. B. It promotes innovation and creativity in AI solutions. C. It reduces the risk of biased algorithms that perpetuate gender inequalities. D. It improves the overall performance and effectiveness of AI systems. 31. What is the main idea of the article? A. The impact of AI on job losses in the US. B. The role of women in AI-related fields. C. Gender biases in AI algorithms and their effects on women. D. Solutions to address challenges faced by women due to generative AI. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了生成式人工智能对从业的女性造成了更大的负面影响，行业构成、算法中的性别偏见以及人工智能开发缺乏多样性等因素共同导致了这一问题。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Women are more likely to work in industries that are highly be influenced by automation, such as retail, hospitality, and administrative support. (女性更有可能在受自动化影响较大的行业工作，如零售、酒店和行政支持。)”和“Consequently, women employed in these industries face a higher risk of job displacement. (因此，在这些行业就业的女性面临更高的失业风险。)”可知，美国劳动力中的女性比男性更容易受到采用生成式人工智能的影响是因为女性更有可能在高度自动化的行业工作。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“This involves increasing the representation of women in AI-related fields (这包括增加女性在人工智能相关领域的代表性)”可知，为女性提供有针对性的培训和项目，让女性在人工智能相关领域有更多的机会，可以帮助她们减少潜在的负面影响。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“As a result, AI systems may not fully understand or cater to the needs of women, continuously leading to gender inequalities. (因此，人工智能系统可能无法完全理解或满足女性的需求，从而不断导致性别不平等。)”和最后一段中“To relieve these effects, it is essential to prioritize diversity and inclusion in AI development and address gender biases in algorithms. Only through these efforts can we ensure that the benefits of AI are distributed equitably among all individuals, regardless of gender. (为了减轻这些影响，必须在人工智能开发中优先考虑多样性和包容性，并解决算法中的性别偏见。)”可推知，在人工智能开发中优先考虑多样性和包容性很重要，因为这样可以降低使性别不平等永久化的有偏见算法的风险。故选C项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了生成式人工智能对从业的女性造成了更大的负面影响，并从行业构成、算法中的性别偏见以及人工智能开发缺乏多样性三个方面分析了这一问题产生的原因，着重分析了算法方面的因素和解决方法。因此，C项“人工智能算法中的性别偏见及其对女性的影响”符合文章大意。故选C项。 D People vary in how well they discriminate and identify foods. The variation is explained by a general ability to recognize objects. We researchers originally theorized the variability might also be associated with people’s attitude toward new foods. Those who endorse statements like “I am particular about what I eat” have food neophobia — refusal of food novelty. Sure enough, our study did find picky eaters scored worst on our tests of food recognition: Food neophobia is negatively correlated with food recognition ability. While we were publishing our finding, scientists were debating new findings about how the brain reacts to food and color. Different research groups had identified brain areas in the visual system that responded preferentially to images of food. For instance, looking at a bowl of noodles would activate these brain areas, but not looking at a pile of string. The scientific disagreement was about what it meant to identify a selectivity for food in brain areas already known for their responsiveness to color. We repeated our initial study with gray-scale images of food. The result showed without color, people unsurprisingly made more errors, mistaking different dishes as the same, but the pattern of variation across people was otherwise unchanged. Those with a higher general visual ability did better with food. We also found one effect of removing color: Food neophobia was no longer correlated with food recognition ability. It was as if whatever advantage the adventurous eaters had gained over picky ones was all dependent on color. We then made an entirely new prediction: Would people with color blindness be less food neophobic than those with normal color perception? Because the colorblind experience food in a restricted range of color, certain signals that raise flags about freshness, safety, or otherwise drive anxiety about novel food could be limited. We invited participants online, based on how they answered one question about color blindness buried in a long screening questionnaire. The survey suggested colorblind people were indeed less food neophobic than the non-colorblind. Seeing the world with a narrow color range seems to ease an emotion-based resistance to novel foods. Our findings pave the way for addressing extreme cases of food neophobia. As researchers learn more about the complicated relevance between color perception and food, we might develop targeted interventions to improve dietary habits. 32. What does the underlined word “endorse” mean in paragraph 1? A. Comment on. B. Approve of. C. Worry about. D. Argue against. 33. What’s the purpose of writing paragraph 2? A. To illustrate an argument. B. To emphasize the value of science. C. To explain the background of later tests. D. To indicate a positive academic atmosphere. 34. Why are colorblind people less food neophobic according to the study? A. They’re born with a bigger appetite. B. They’re more expert at recognizing food. C. They prefer to take risks and try fresh things. D. They fail to perceive some food signs causing tension. 35. How did the author uncover the effect of color on emotional responses to food? A. By experiencing food diversity firsthand. B. By analyzing feedback from respondents. C. By testing brains’ reaction to colorful foods. D. By monitoring picky eaters’ dietary variations. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了人们对食物识别能力的差异，以及这种差异与人们对新食物态度（食物新恐惧症）的关系。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段的“Those who endorse statements like “I am particular about what I eat” have food neophobia — refusal of food novelty. (那些endorse“我对自己吃的东西很挑剔”的人有“新食物恐惧症”——拒绝新奇食物。)”可知，“Those…have food neophobia”这里指那些人有“新食物恐惧症”说明他们支持“I am particular about what I eat”这一观点，划线词意为“赞成、同意”。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的“While we were publishing our finding, scientists were debating new findings about how the brain reacts to food and color. Different research groups had identified brain areas in the visual system that responded preferentially to images of food. (当我们发表我们的发现时，科学家们正在就大脑如何对食物和颜色做出反应的新发现进行辩论。不同的研究小组已经确定了视觉系统中优先对食物图像做出反应的脑区。)”可知，在作者团队发表其发现的同时，科学界关于大脑对食物和颜色反应的新发现以及存在的争议，为后文作者团队进行灰度图像实验以及提出色盲者与食物新恐惧症关系的预测提供了背景信息。因此，本段的写作目的是解释后续测试的背景。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段的“Because the colorblind experience food in a restricted range of color, certain signals that raise flags about freshness, safety, or otherwise drive anxiety about novel food could be limited. (因为色盲者体验食物的颜色范围有限，某些关于新鲜度、安全性或引起对新奇食物焦虑的信号可能会受到限制。)”和倒数第二段的“The survey suggested colorblind people were indeed less food neophobic than the non-colorblind.(调查显示，色盲者确实比非色盲者更不害怕食物。)”可知，色盲者由于颜色感知能力的限制，无法像正常人一样感知到某些可能引起对食物新鲜度、安全性等担忧的信号，因此他们对新奇食物的恐惧感较低，没有察觉到一些引起紧张的食物迹象。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“We repeated our initial study with gray-scale images of food. The result showed without color, people unsurprisingly made more errors, mistaking different dishes as the same, but the pattern of variation across people was otherwise unchanged…We also found one effect of removing color: Food neophobia was no longer correlated with food recognition ability. (我们使用食物的灰度图像重复了最初的研究。结果显示，在没有颜色的情况下，人们不出所料地犯了更多错误，将不同的菜肴误认为是相同的，但人与人之间差异的模式没有其他变化……我们还发现了去除颜色的一个效果：食物新恐惧症不再与食物识别能力相关。)”，倒数第三段的“We then made an entirely new prediction: Would people with color blindness be less food neophobic than those with normal color perception? (然后我们做出了一个全新的预测：色盲者是否比正常色觉者更少食物新恐惧症？)”和倒数第二段的“We invited participants online, based on how they answered one question about color blindness buried in a long screening questionnaire.(我们根据参与者在一份长筛查问卷中关于色盲问题的回答邀请他们在线参与。)”可知，结合参与者在线回答参与，作者通过对比有颜色和无颜色（灰度图像）情况下人们对食物识别能力的差异，以及进一步预测并验证色盲者与食物新恐惧症的关系，来揭示颜色对食物情感反应的影响，也就是作者主要分析了受访者的反馈（即在不同条件下的表现）来揭示颜色对食物情感反应的影响。故选B。 第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读短文内容, 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。 In some workplaces like Myosin Marketing in Austin, Texas, an unusual activity takes place at the start of group employee meetings. ____36____ At first, employees thought it was strange, but later they found it beneficial as it helped them relax. Studies show that deep breathing can effectively reduce stress at work. However, many workers don’t pay attention to their breathing while working. For example, those sitting at computers for long hours often take shallow breaths, and those on their feet all day might be too busy. ____37____ Deep breathing has multiple benefits. Firstly, it’s free and can be done anywhere. ____38____ Also, focusing on breathing can calm the mind by getting rid of racing thoughts. Different people have their own ways to practice deep breathing. Lisa Marie Deleveaux, who lost her job and is looking for a new one, does it early in the morning. ____39____ Another example is Lindsay Carlisle, a sales representative, who does breathing exercises with her daughter during the drive to school and finds it calming.

On the surface表面上；B. On the whole大体上，总体而言；C. On the contrary相反；D. On the go十分活跃，非常忙碌。根据后文的“However, with time going by and more reflections on the results”可知，然而，随着时间的推移和对结果的更多反思，作者发现事情并非“表面上”那样，所以此处指表面上，结果似乎提供了一个令人耳目一新的人性乐观观点。故选A项。 【47题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：同上。A. neutral中立的；B. critical批评的；C. negative消极的；D. optimistic乐观的。根据“It is ____8____ to know that people are more likely to do things for you than expected.”可知，人们比预期的更愿意为你做事，这是一个令人乐观的发现，所以此处指结果似乎提供了一个令人耳目一新的人性乐观观点。故选D项。 【48题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：“知道人们比预期的更愿意为你做事真是太棒了。”A. ridiculous荒谬的；B. awesome令人敬畏的，很棒的；C. discouraging令人沮丧的；D. influential有影响力的。根据“people are more likely to do things for you than expected”可知，人们比预期的更愿意为你做事，所以这是一件非常棒的事情。故选B项。 【49题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：然而，随着时间的推移和对结果的更多反思，Andria明白到她的结果反映了一个更广泛的趋势，即我们通常低估了我们的言语能对他人产生多大的影响。A. deny否认；B. doubt怀疑；C. appreciate理解，意识到，欣赏；D. subscribe订阅。根据前文“However, with time going by and more reflections on the results”可知，此处指安德里亚对研究结果进行了更多的反思后意识到的事情。故选C项。 【50题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：同上。A. undervalue低估；B. overstate夸大；C. mislead误导；D. correlate相互关联。根据后文“whether we’re asking them to ____11____ good or bad actions.”以及“ People often agree to do what they are asked because they find it too ___12___ to say no, even sometimes feeling uncomfortable with our ___13___.”可知，我们要求别人做好事或坏事，别人都会同意，所以通常低估了言语对他人的影响力。故选A项。 【51题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：无论我们是要求他们做好事还是坏事。A. imitate模仿；B. perceive注意到，认为；C. measure测量；D. perform执行，做。根据后文的“good or bad actions”可知，这里指做好事或坏事，perform actions意为“采取行动，执行操作”，符合语境。故选D项。 【52题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：人们经常同意做他们被要求做的事情，因为他们觉得拒绝太尴尬了，有时甚至对我们的请求感到不舒服。A. awkward尴尬的；B. deliberate故意的；C. tricky狡猾的；D. amused逗乐的，觉得好笑的。根据后文的“even sometimes feeling uncomfortable with our ____13____ .”可知，人们会因为拒绝会感到尴尬或不舒服而同意做他们被要求做的事情。故选A项。 【53题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：同上。A. recommendations推荐；B. requests请求；C. quests探索，寻求；D. announcements公告。根据上文的“whether we’re asking them to ____11____ good or bad actions.”以及句中“People often agree to do what they are asked”可知，这里指对别人的请求感到不舒服。故选B项。 【54题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：了解这一点可以帮助我们理解我们需求如何影响他人，特别是在工作场所，从而帮助我们以尊重他人界限的方式相应地调整我们的需求，并且不要把他们对我们所做的事情视为理所当然。A. distinguish区分；B. impress使印象深刻；C. emerge浮现；D. impact影响。根据后文的“helping us adjust our needs accordingly in ways that respect people’s ____15____ and without taking what they have done for us for granted.”可知，了解这一点可以帮助以尊重他人界限的方式相应地调整我们的需求，即了解这一点也可以帮助我们理解我们的需求是如何影响他人的。故选D项。 【55题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：同上。A. defense防御；B. assumptions假设；C. boundaries界限；D. confusion困惑。根据上文的“helping us adjust our needs accordingly”以及下文“without taking what they have done for us for granted”可知，了解这一点可以帮助我们相应地调整需求，从而尊重他人的界限，不要把他们对我们所做的事情视为理所当然。故选C项。 第二节 (共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Volha Halpyarovich, a Belarusian native, first experienced the healing power of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) during her childhood. “When I had a cold, my mom would make a cupping (拔火罐), a technique ____56____ (involve) placing cups on the skin to create suction (吸力),” shared Halpyarovich, now in her ____57____ (thirty). Her fascination with Chinese medicine ____58____ (grow) even more since she moved to China over twelve years ago. Living in a community with a local drugstore stocked with Chinese herbs, Halpyarovich had the opportunity ____59____ (consult) an experienced TCM doctor. This wise old gentleman began with a thorough diagnosis, after ____60____ he accurately identified her health issues, providing a direct treatment for her body. “I was really surprised that he could tailor a medicinal recipe specifically for me even ____61____ asking many questions,” she recalled. TCM, according to Halpyarovich, views the body as ____62____ universe connected with nature, focusing on enhancing circulation and removing blocks for improved well-being, which she found ____63____ (benefit) after undergoing treatment. For Halpyarovich, TCM isn’t merely a treatment ____64____ a lifestyle that includes diet, sleep patterns, and other life-related aspects. From cupping to personalized herbal treatments, she encourages others to explore _____65_____ Chinese traditional medicine has to offer. 【答案】56. involving 57. thirties 58. has grown##has been growing 59. to consult 60. which 61. without 62. a 63. beneficial 64. but 65. what 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了白俄罗斯人Volha Halpyarovich体验了中国传统中医治疗，从而对中医有了更深入的理解和认识的故事。 【56题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：“当我感冒时，我妈妈会做拔罐，一种将杯子放在皮肤上产生吸力的技术，”现年30多岁的Halpyarovich分享道。句子已有谓语，空处是非谓语，作修饰technique的后置定语，involve“涉及”和technique逻辑上是主动关系，因此用involve的现在分词形式。故填involving。 【57题详解】 考查数词的用法。句意：“当我感冒时，我妈妈会做拔罐，一种将杯子放在皮肤上产生吸力的技术，”现年30多岁的Halpyarovich分享道。‌固定用法“‌in one’s +年龄的复数”‌表示“在某人几十岁时”。故填thirties。 【58题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：自从12年前搬到中国以来，她对中医的迷恋与日俱增。空处作句子的谓语，根据“since she moved to China over twelve years ago”可知，动作从过去开始发生，可以用现在完成时表示动作持续到现在，也可以用现在完成进行时表示动作会继续进行下去，主语fascination为不可数名词，助动词用has。故填has grown/has been growing。 【59题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：Halpyarovich住在一个社区，当地的药店里摆满了中草药，她有机会咨询一位经验丰富的中医。名词opportunity后常跟动词不定式作后置定语，表示“……的机会”。故填to consult。 【60题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：这位睿智的老先生从彻底的诊断开始，之后准确地发现了她的健康问题，为她的身体提供了直接的治疗。空处和空前的after搭配，形成“介词+关系代词”的结构，引导非限制性定语从句，对先行词diagnosis作补充说明，先行词指物，作介词in的宾语，因此应用关系代词which。故填which。 【61题详解】 考查介词。句意：她回忆说：“我真的很惊讶，他甚至不问我很多问题，就能专门为我量身定做一份药方。”空后为动名词短语，结合“he could tailor a medicinal recipe specifically for me even”可推知，此处指“甚至不问我很多问题”，应用意为“不使用，不借助”的介词without。故填without。 【62题详解】 考查冠词。句意：根据Halpyarovich的说法，中医将身体视为一个与自然相连的宇宙，专注于促进循环和疏通淤堵以改善健康，她在接受治疗后发现这是有益的。空处表示泛指，意为“一个与自然相连的宇宙”，应用不定冠词，且universe的发音以辅音音素开头，应用a。故填a。 【63题详解】 考查形容词。句意：根据Halpyarovich的说法，中医将身体视为一个与自然相连的宇宙，专注于促进循环和疏通淤堵以改善健康，她在接受治疗后发现这是有益的。空处作宾语补足语，应用benefit的形容词形式beneficial，意为“有益的”。故填beneficial。 【64题详解】 考查连词。句意：对Halpyarovich来说，中医不仅仅是一种治疗方法，而是一种生活方式，包括饮食、睡眠模式和其他与生活有关的方面。根据“isn’t merely a treatment”可推知，此处用固定结构not merely… but…表示“不仅……而且……”。故填but。 【65题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：从拔火罐到个性化的草药治疗，她鼓励其他人探索中国传统医学所能提供的东西。空处引导名词性从句作explore的宾语，宾语从句中has缺少宾语，结合句意可知，宾语指物，应用连接代词what作引导词。故填what。 第四部分 写作(共两节, 满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 66. 假定你是李华，上学期你校发起了一项活动，倡议每个班级都养绿植(greenery )。请你给曾经的外教Linda写一封邮件介绍相关情况，内容包括： 1.活动内容； 2.活动的效果和反响。 注意 1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Linda, _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Linda, I’m delighted to share with you an exciting initiative we’ve launched at our school—“Greenery in Every Classroom.” The project kicked off with each class selecting a variety of plants to cultivate.

It seemed that they didn’t feel like making any new connections with others, including their next-door neighbours. The neighborhood kids nicknamed the strange old couple Crazy Jack and Ruby Rednose. Rumor (流言，传言) was that they sat inside and drank tea all day. The only words we ever heard from them were “Keep out of our rosebushes!” The rosebushes crawled along the fence. Or rather, they served as a fence between our house and theirs, overgrowing the support. I was eleven at the time and the oldest of our family girls. A suitable playing court was a headache problem for us when we felt like playing softball games, which was our favourite sport then. We should have played our softball games elsewhere to avoid hurting the roses, but we secretly enjoyed annoying Crazy Jack and Ruby Rednose. One day, we had a softball game in our yard. Mary was trying to catch a fly ball. She stumbled (绊倒) over one of Ruby Rednose’s rosebushes and fell on top of several more. Just at that moment, Ruby Rednose sprang out and ran toward Mary. She screamed angrily, “Look at what you’ve doneto our family’s roses! You’ve always been a trouble. You have no idea what this rosebush means to me!” Hearing this, my sisters and I ran into our house. Breathlessly, we told Mom what had happened. “Girls, I have told you not to play softball near those bushes. Come outside right now and help me fix them.” “Mom, we thought you didn’t like the couple,” we protested. “They’re mean to us.” Mom just glared at us. We followed her outside to help repair the rose fence. While Mom was examining the damaged roses, Ruby slowly walked out. She looked sad. And it wasn’t her nose that was red, but her eyes. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150字左右。2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Ruby walked over to my mother, we girls holding our breath. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A few weeks later, the plants all came back to life. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Ruby walked over to my mother, we girls holding our breath. We waited to see who would shout first and what terrible things would be said. “We are sorry about the flowers. The girls will fix them and help weed the roses.” said Mom. My sisters and I looked at each other in horror, but Ruby smiled through her tears. “I know we’re particular about these roses, but they’re very special because they remind me of my mother.” Soon both women were down on their knees examining the damaged bushes together. A few weeks later, the plants all came back to life. My mother and Ruby worked together on the roses all summer and many summers to follow. So did my sisters and I. A friendship was formed between the families. Ruby became part of our family, spending many happy hours at our house, especially during countless birthdays, graduations and weddings. And the rose fence wasn’t a fence any longer. My mother had turned it into a bridge. 【解析】 【导语】本文以时间为线索展开。“我”家隔壁住着一对孤僻的老夫妇，这对夫妇种了许多玫瑰花，这些玫瑰花形成了两家之间的栅栏，有一天“我”和姐妹们打垒球时破坏了这些玫瑰花，“我”们的妈妈向邻居道歉时得知这些玫瑰花是邻居对母亲的念想，于是妈妈带着“我”和姐妹们一起照料这些玫瑰花，让它们恢复了生机，在接下来的几年里，由于和老夫妇一起照料玫瑰花，两家建立了深厚的友谊。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“露比走到我妈妈身边，我们女孩子都屏住了呼吸。”可知，第一段可描写妈妈向露比道歉并提出补救，露比表示这些玫瑰花对自己来说很重要。 ②由第二段首句内容“几周后，这些植物都恢复了生机。”可知，第二段可描写通过共同照料这些玫瑰花，两个家庭建立了亲厚的关系。 2.续写线索：道歉——害怕——解释——检查——共同照料——建立友谊 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.查看：examine/check/inspect ②.（关系）形成：form/build ③.把……变成：turn sth into/change sth into 情绪类 ①.抱歉的：sorry/apologetic ②.害怕：horror/fright 【点睛】[高分句型1] Ruby became part of our family, spending many happy hours at our house, especially during countless birthdays, graduations and weddings.

B In Hindman, Kentucky, a group of women, known as the “book women”, usually set off on horseback at dawn, to pick their way along snowy hillsides and through muddy streams with a simple goal: to deliver reading materials to remote mountain communities. The Pack Horse Library initiative was part of President Franklin Roosevelt’s Works Progress Administration (WPA), created to help lift America out of the Great Depression, during which, by 1933, unemployment had risen to 40 percent in Appalachia. This initiative was an opportunity to boost both employment and literacy at the same time. The WPA paid the book carriers salaries. Counties had to have their own base libraries from which the horse-riding librarians would travel. Local schools helped cover those costs, and the reading materials — books, magazines, and newspapers — were all donated. The book women rode 100 to 120 miles a week, on their own horses or mules, along planned routes, regardless of the weather. If the destination was too remote even for horses, they dismounted and went on foot. In most cases, the book women were hired locally — according to historian Donald C. Boyd, “a familiar face to otherwise distrustful mountain folk.” By the end of 1938, there were 274 librarians riding out across 29 counties. In total, the program employed nearly 1,000 riding librarians. In addition to providing reading materials, the book women served as touchstones for these communities. They tried to fill book requests, sometimes stopped to read to those who couldn’t, and helped develop local pride. As one recipient said, “The books you brought us have saved our lives. It s our duty to visit the library and to help in every way that we can, so that we may keep it as an active actor in our community.” 24. What did the Pack Horse Library initiative aim to do? A. Link remote communities. B. Enrich life in the country. C. Support the local schools. D. Provide job opportunities. 25. Which aspect of the initiative is presented in paragraph 3? A. The operation mode. B. The librarian selection. C. The historical background. D. The community engagement. 26. What was the main reason for most of the book women being hired locally? A. They were excellent horse riders. B. They were familiar with the routes. C. They could be trusted more easily. D. They could be hired at a low cost. 27. What can the book women be regarded as according to the last paragraph? A. Social activists. B. Community facilitators. C. Information providers. D. Book reviewers. C Recent research reveals that the adoption of generative artificial intelligence (AI) by companies in the US has a disproportionate impact on women. According to a recent analysis, approximately 79% of the jobs lost to AI were held by women. This difference can be due to several factors. Women are more likely to work in industries that are highly be influenced by automation, such as retail, hospitality, and administrative support. These sectors often involve repetitive tasks that can be easily automated by AI technologies. Consequently, women employed in these industries face a higher risk of job displacement. Gender biases in AI algorithms (运算法则) can worsen the situation for women. AI systems are trained on historical data, which may reflect existing gender biases in hiring and promotion practices. This can result in biased decision-making during recruitment and performance evaluations, putting women at a disadvantage in the workplace. The lack of diversity in the development of AI technologies contributes to the gender difference. The underrepresentation (代表名额不足) of women in the field of AI means that their perspectives and experiences are not adequately considered during the design and development process. As a result, AI systems may not fully understand or cater to the needs of women, continuously leading to gender inequalities. To address these challenges, it is crucial to prioritize diversity and inclusion in the development and deployment of AI technologies. This involves increasing the representation of women in AI-related fields and ensuring diverse perspectives are considered during the design and testing phases. Additionally, companies should actively work towards eliminating gender biases in AI algorithms and regularly assess their impact on different demographic groups. In conclusion, although men currently dominate the labor market, women bear a disproportionate burden due to the adoption of generative AI. The combination of industry composition, gender biases in algorithms, and lack of diversity in AI development contribute to this disparity. To relieve these effects, it is essential to prioritize diversity and inclusion in AI development and address gender biases in algorithms. Only through these efforts can we ensure that the benefits of AI are distributed equitably among all individuals, regardless of gender. 28. Why are women in the US workforce more influenced by the adoption of generative AI than men? A. Women are less adaptable to technological changes. B. Women have a lower level of education compared to men. C. Women are generally less skilled in technology and AI-related fields. D. Women are more likely to work in industries that are highly automatable. 29. Which of the following strategies can reduce the potential negative impact on women? A. Increasing gender proportion in AI development teams. B. Providing targeted training and programs for women and giving them more chances in AI-related fields. C. Encouraging women to pursue careers in non-automatable industries. D. Offering financial supports to companies that prioritize gender diversity in AI programmes. 30. Why is it important to prioritize diversity and inclusion in AI development? A. It ensures equal opportunities for women in the workforce. B. It promotes innovation and creativity in AI solutions. C. It reduces the risk of biased algorithms that perpetuate gender inequalities. D. It improves the overall performance and effectiveness of AI systems. 31. What is the main idea of the article? A. The impact of AI on job losses in the US. B. The role of women in AI-related fields. C. Gender biases in AI algorithms and their effects on women. D. Solutions to address challenges faced by women due to generative AI. D People vary in how well they discriminate and identify foods. The variation is explained by a general ability to recognize objects. We researchers originally theorized the variability might also be associated with people’s attitude toward new foods. Those who endorse statements like “I am particular about what I eat” have food neophobia — refusal of food novelty. Sure enough, our study did find picky eaters scored worst on our tests of food recognition: Food neophobia is negatively correlated with food recognition ability. While we were publishing our finding, scientists were debating new findings about how the brain reacts to food and color. Different research groups had identified brain areas in the visual system that responded preferentially to images of food. For instance, looking at a bowl of noodles would activate these brain areas, but not looking at a pile of string. The scientific disagreement was about what it meant to identify a selectivity for food in brain areas already known for their responsiveness to color. We repeated our initial study with gray-scale images of food. The result showed without color, people unsurprisingly made more errors, mistaking different dishes as the same, but the pattern of variation across people was otherwise unchanged. Those with a higher general visual ability did better with food. We also found one effect of removing color: Food neophobia was no longer correlated with food recognition ability. It was as if whatever advantage the adventurous eaters had gained over picky ones was all dependent on color. We then made an entirely new prediction: Would people with color blindness be less food neophobic than those with normal color perception? Because the colorblind experience food in a restricted range of color, certain signals that raise flags about freshness, safety, or otherwise drive anxiety about novel food could be limited. We invited participants online, based on how they answered one question about color blindness buried in a long screening questionnaire. The survey suggested colorblind people were indeed less food neophobic than the non-colorblind. Seeing the world with a narrow color range seems to ease an emotion-based resistance to novel foods. Our findings pave the way for addressing extreme cases of food neophobia. As researchers learn more about the complicated relevance between color perception and food, we might develop targeted interventions to improve dietary habits. 32. What does the underlined word “endorse” mean in paragraph 1? A. Comment on. B. Approve of. C. Worry about. D. Argue against. 33. What’s the purpose of writing paragraph 2? A. To illustrate an argument. B. To emphasize the value of science. C. To explain the background of later tests. D. To indicate a positive academic atmosphere. 34. Why are colorblind people less food neophobic according to the study? A. They’re born with a bigger appetite. B. They’re more expert at recognizing food. C. They prefer to take risks and try fresh things. D. They fail to perceive some food signs causing tension. 35. How did the author uncover the effect of color on emotional responses to food? A. By experiencing food diversity firsthand. B. By analyzing feedback from respondents. C. By testing brains’ reaction to colorful foods. D. By monitoring picky eaters’ dietary variations. 第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读短文内容, 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。 In some workplaces like Myosin Marketing in Austin, Texas, an unusual activity takes place at the start of group employee meetings. ____36____ At first, employees thought it was strange, but later they found it beneficial as it helped them relax.

It seemed that they didn’t feel like making any new connections with others, including their next-door neighbours. The neighborhood kids nicknamed the strange old couple Crazy Jack and Ruby Rednose. Rumor (流言，传言) was that they sat inside and drank tea all day. The only words we ever heard from them were “Keep out of our rosebushes!” The rosebushes crawled along the fence. Or rather, they served as a fence between our house and theirs, overgrowing the support. I was eleven at the time and the oldest of our family girls. A suitable playing court was a headache problem for us when we felt like playing softball games, which was our favourite sport then. We should have played our softball games elsewhere to avoid hurting the roses, but we secretly enjoyed annoying Crazy Jack and Ruby Rednose. One day, we had a softball game in our yard. Mary was trying to catch a fly ball. She stumbled (绊倒) over one of Ruby Rednose’s rosebushes and fell on top of several more. Just at that moment, Ruby Rednose sprang out and ran toward Mary. She screamed angrily, “Look at what you’ve doneto our family’s roses! You’ve always been a trouble. You have no idea what this rosebush means to me!” Hearing this, my sisters and I ran into our house. Breathlessly, we told Mom what had happened. “Girls, I have told you not to play softball near those bushes. Come outside right now and help me fix them.” “Mom, we thought you didn’t like the couple,” we protested. “They’re mean to us.” Mom just glared at us. We followed her outside to help repair the rose fence. While Mom was examining the damaged roses, Ruby slowly walked out. She looked sad. And it wasn’t her nose that was red, but her eyes. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150字左右。2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Ruby walked over to my mother we girls holding our breath. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A few weeks later, the plants all came back to life. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
