A. to provide; affecting B. providing; affecting C. providing; affected D. to provide; affected 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：他们的目的是向那些受灾难或流行病影响的人提供医疗服务。第一空格处作表语，用动词不定式形式表示主语的内容或目的，这里表示“目的是提供医疗服务”，所以第一个空应填to provide。 第二空作后置定语修饰those（那些人），those和affect（影响）之间是被动关系，所以要用过去分词形式作后置定语。故选D。 9. ________ is known to us all ________ the old scientist, for whom life was hard in the past, still works hard in his eighties. A. As, that B. It; that C. As; what D.

A. Despite B. Although C. In spite of D. Nevertheless 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查连词。句意：尽管这家公司在产品研发方面已经取得了重大进展，但在市场份额方面，它仍然落后于竞争对手。despite和in spite of是介词短语，表示“尽管”，后接名词或名词短语，不能接句子，这里后面是句子，所以排除A和C。nevertheless是副词，表示“然而”不能引导句子，although引导让步状语从句，表示“尽管”，符合题意。故选B。 11. He published a paper in the newspaper, ________ he described a new technique in detail. A. where B. which C. when D. why 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：他在报纸上发表了一篇论文，详细地描述了一种新技术。空格处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词paper，关系词在从句中作地点状语，应用关系副词where引导从句。故选A项。 12. ______ troubles me most is ______ we can gather such a large group of volunteers within such a brief period. A. That; how B. What; if C. What; how D. As; whether 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查名词性从句。句意：最让我困扰的是我们如何二能在如此短的时间内召集这么一大群志愿者。第一空考查主语从句，从句中缺少主语，表示 “……的事情”，应用连接代词what引导；第二空考查表语从句，根据下文“we can gather such a large group of volunteers within such a brief period(我们能在如此短的时间内召集这么一大群志愿者)”可知，这里是探讨如何能在短时间内召集大量志愿者这一情况，how“如何”题意，所以此处应用how引导表语从句，故选C项。 13. The construction of the new bridge, which ________ for two years, ________ by the end of next month. A. has been going on; will be completed B. had been going on; will have been completed C. has been going on; will have been completed D. had been goıng on; will be completed 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查动词时态语态。句意：新桥的建造工程已经持续了两年，到下个月底将完工。第一空，根据时间状语“for two years”可知，此处表示一个动作从过去开始持续到现在，并将持续下去，使用现在完成进行时has been going on；第二空，根据时间状语“ by the end of next month”可知，使用将来完成时，主语The construction of the new bridge和complete为被动关系，需用将来完成时的被动语态will have been completed。故选C。 14.

That’s right! 对，没错（用于表示对对方观点或陈述的认可）。 根据“I can’t thank you enough”和“It was a pleasure to work with you.”可知，这里是在回应对方的感谢，所以应该用Don’t mention it。故选 C。 第二节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1. 5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从31-50各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 Once upon a time, a greedy, rich man hired a great mathematician.

He touched it lightly, recognizing the first signs of spring. His eyes drifted to second base, where his team’s season had ended last year. He recalled warming up for the big playoff game, the stands filled with parents and students. The Northglenn Knights were facing the West Hills Hornets, with the winner moving to the city’s Junior League Championship. Jason felt great, joking with teammates and showing off during warm-up drills. “Knock it off, Jason,” Coach Fowler warned. As usual, Jason paid little attention. He was the Knights’ best player and knew Coach wouldn’t put him on the bench in a playoff game. Confident in his “natural talent”, he didn’t try as hard as the other players. But he was shocked when Coach left him on the bench. As the game progressed, Jason began to worry that Coach had had enough. When the Knights came to bat for the last time, Coach Fowler called him. “Grab a bat. You’ re in for Reuben.” “Don’t worry, Coach,” Jason replied. “I’ll get a hit.” “Keep your focus. The team is counting on you,” Coach warned. Jason walked confidently to the plate with a smile. Despite his playful behavior, he managed to hit the ball, allowing two teammates to score and giving the Knights the lead. As the team took the field again, Jason felt assured that the Knights would secure their spot in the championship with just three more outs. The first two outs were easy, but then a batter hit the ball towards Jason. While he was looking for his friends in the crowd, Jason missed the catch. The ball went into the outfield, allowing two Hornet players to score and ending the Knights’ season. Feeling terrible, Jason promised to change. He worked hard to improve, helped Coach with equipment, and volunteered at the park. He finally understood being part of a team, working alongside others to achieve a common goal. Now, as a few pieces of grass emerged from the cold ground, Jason felt his spirits lift. He couldn’t wait for the new season. “Won’t be long now,” Coach Fowler said, walking up behind him. “It sure was a long winter,” Jason replied. “Yes, it was,” Coach Fowler said, “but I’m seeing signs of change.” When Jason looked up again, though, Coach Fowler wasn’t looking at the new spring grass. He was looking at Jason. 41. How did Jason feel during the warm-up drills before the big playoff game? A. Nervous and anxious. B. Tired and unmotivated. C. Confident and lighthearted. D. Angry and frustrated. 42. What unexpected action did Coach Fowler take during the playoff game? A. He asked Jason to play a different position. B. He gave a motivational speech to the team. C. He benched Jason. D. He invited parents onto the field. 43. What mistake did Jason make during the game? A. He threw the ball to the wrong base. B. He missed the catch while looking for his friends. C. He forgot to run to second base. D. He cheered before the game was over. 44. What would the best title for the passage? A. Signs of Change B. Jason’s Promise C. The Missed Catch D. The Coach’s Challenge 45. How will Jason most likely be described in the upcoming baseball season? A. Patient. B. Courageous. C. Generous. D. Committed. 【答案】41 C 42. C 43. B 44. A 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了杰森在因为自己的打球天赋而骄傲，但是一次比赛中他失误了，意识到团队的重要性，于是他开始改变，努力提高自己，并发生了很大的改变。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Jason felt great, joking with teammates and showing off during warm-up drills.(杰森感觉很棒，在热身训练中与队友开玩笑并炫耀。)”和第三段中“Confident in his “natural talent”, he didn’t try as hard as the other players.(他对自己的“天赋”充满信心，并没有像其他球员那样努力。)”可知，杰森在季后赛前的热身训练中感觉自信而轻松。故选C。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“But he was shocked when Coach left him on the bench. (但当教练把他留在替补席上时，他感到震惊。)”可知，福勒教练在季后赛中做出的意想不到的举动是他让杰森做替补，故选C。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第七段中“While he was looking for his friends in the crowd, Jason missed the catch. (当杰森在人群中寻找他的朋友时，他没抓住球。)”可知，他在寻找朋友时没抓住球。故选B。 【44题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段““Yes, it was,” Coach Fowler said, “but I’m seeing signs of change.” When Jason looked up again, though, Coach Fowler wasn’t looking at the new spring grass. He was looking at Jason.(“是的，确实如此，”福勒教练说，“但我看到了变化的迹象。”然而，当杰森再次抬起头时，福勒教练并没有在看新的春天草地。他正在看着杰森。)”可知，文章主要讲述了杰森在因为自己的打球天赋而骄傲，但是一次比赛中他失误了，意识到团队的重要性，于是他开始改变，努力提高自己，A项“变化的迹象”适合做文章标题，能点明主题，即杰森经过此事后自己发生了很大的改变，故选A。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第四段“Feeling terrible, Jason promised to change. He worked hard to improve, helped Coach with equipment, and volunteered at the park. He finally understood being part of a team, working alongside others to achieve a common goal.(杰森感觉很糟糕，他答应改变。他努力提高自己，帮助教练配备装备，并在公园做志愿者。他终于明白了自己是团队的一员，与其他人一起努力实现共同的目标)”可推知，在即将到来的棒球赛季中，杰森最有可能会尽心尽力，故选D。 C After waking up, you may feel frustrated that you cannot recall the dreams you had last night. Artificial intelligence (AI) may be able to help. Previously, there have been AI models that can turn text into images. They can do this by learning from a large amount of data from both tests and images. This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to re-create images based on people’s brain scans, reported Science magazine. The researchers used an online data set provided by the University of Minnesota, US, which consisted of brain scans from four participants as they each viewed a set of 10,000 photos. The scans were recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI,功能性磁共振成像). The AI then learned about the brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the FMRI data - when a part of the brain is activated, more blood will flow to it. It then matched the brain activities with the photos. Through this method, AI learned how human brains would react when seeing different photos. Finally, the researchers tested the AI on additional brain scans from the same participants when they viewed photos of a toy bear, airplane, clock and train. If the person looked at an airplane, for example, the AI would use the brain scan data to create an image of a very blurry (模糊的) airplane. Then, it would turn on the previous “text-to-image” model and improve the quality of the image by feeding itself the keyword “airplane”. The final images were “convincing” with about 80 percent of accuracy, according to the researchers. The new study created a novel approach that incorporates texts and images to “decipher (解码) the brain”, Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University, US, told Science magazine. In the future, scientists hope that the technology can be used to record imagined thoughts and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive reality. 46. What do we know about Stable Diffusion? A. It can help train people’s minds. B. It can fully present people’s dreams. C. It was created to draw people’s brains. D. It can produce pictures from people’s thoughts. 47. How did the AI system learn about human brain activities? A. By analyzing descriptions of human thoughts. B. By studying patterns of blood flow in the brain. C. By recording brain scans from four participants. D. By examining 10,000 photos about human brains. 48. How did the AI system improve the quality of the final images? A. By integrating additional brain scans. B. By adjusting various visual elements. C. By employing a “text-to-image” model. D. By inputting text from human observers. 49. What is the potential use of this technology according to scientists? A. To improve text-to-image models. B. To create more accurate brain scans. C. To learn how animals view the world. D. To help people interpret their dreams. 50. What makes the best title for the passage? A. The Research on AI System B. The Power of Science Magazine C. The Forms of Dreams D. The Study for Brain Activities 【答案】46. D 47. B 48. C 49. C 50. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了日本大阪大学的研究人员训练了一个名为“Stable Diffusion”的人工智能系统，该系统可以根据人们的脑部扫描重新创建图像，具有现实意义。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to re-create images based on people’s brain scans, reported Science magazine.”（据《科学》杂志报道，这一次，日本大阪大学的研究人员训练了一个名为“Stable Diffusion”的人工智能系统，该系统可以根据人们的脑部扫描重新创建图像。）可知，Stable Diffusion可以从人们的思想中生成图像。故选D项。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The AI then learned about the brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the FMRI data - when a part of the brain is activated, more blood will flow to it. It then matched the brain activities with the photos. Through this method, AI learned how human brains would react when seeing different photos.”（然后，人工智能通过分析FMRI数据显示的血流变化来了解大脑活动——当大脑的一部分被激活时，更多的血液会流向它。然后将大脑活动与照片进行匹配。通过这种方法，人工智能了解了人类大脑在看到不同照片时的反应。）可知，人工智能系统通过研究大脑血液流动的模式来了解人类大脑活动的。故选B项。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Finally, the researchers tested the AI on additional brain scans from the same participants when they viewed photos of a toy bear, airplane, clock and train. If the person looked at an airplane, for example, the AI would use the brain scan data to create an image of a very blurry (模糊的) airplane. Then, it would turn on the previous “text-to-image” model and improve the quality of the image by feeding itself the keyword “airplane”. The final images were “convincing” with about 80 percent of accuracy, according to the researchers.”（最后，研究人员在这些参与者观看玩具熊、飞机、时钟和火车的照片时，对人工智能进行了额外的脑部扫描。例如，如果一个人看着一架飞机，人工智能将使用大脑扫描数据创建一个非常模糊的飞机图像。然后，它会打开之前的“文本到图像”模型，并通过输入关键字“飞机”来提高图像的质量。根据研究人员的说法，最终的图像“令人信服”，准确率约为80%。）可知，人工智能系统通过采用“文本到图像”的模式来提高最终图像的质量。故选C项。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The new study created a novel approach that incorporates texts and images to “decipher (解码) the brain”, Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University, US, told Science magazine. In the future, scientists hope that the technology can be used to record imagined thoughts and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive reality.”（美国普林斯顿大学的阿里尔·戈尔茨坦在接受《科学》杂志采访时表示，这项新研究创造了一种结合文本和图像来“破译大脑”的新方法。在未来，科学家们希望这项技术可以用来记录想象中的想法和梦想，或者让人们了解其他动物对现实的感知有多么不同。）可推知，科学家认为这项技术的潜在用途是人们了解动物是如何感知现实的。故选C项。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第二段中“This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to re-create images based on people’s brain scans, reported Science magazine.”（据《科学》杂志报道，这一次，日本大阪大学的研究人员训练了一个名为“Stable Diffusion”的人工智能系统，该系统可以根据人们的脑部扫描重新创建图像。）可知，文章主要讲的是一个名为“Stable Diffusion”的人工智能系统，该系统可以根据人们的脑部扫描重新创建图像。由此可知，文章最好的标题是“人工智能系统研究”。故选A项。 D Lao Zi once said, “Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.” People-pleasing, or seeking self-worth through others’ approval, is unproductive and an exhausting way to go through life. Why do we allow what others think of us to have so much power over how we feel about ourselves? If it’s true that you can’t please all people all of the time, wouldn’t it make sense to stop trying? Unfortunately, sense often isn’t driving our behavior. For social beings who desire love and belonging, wanting to be liked, and caring about the effect we have on others, is healthy and allows us to make connections. However, where we get into trouble is when our self- worth is dependent on whether we win someone’s approval or not. This need to be liked can be traced back to when we were children and were completely dependent on others to take care of us: Small children are not just learning how to walk and communicate, they are also trying to learn how the world works. We learn about who we are and what is expected of us based on interactions with others so, to a four-year-old, if Mommy or Daddy doesn’t like him or her, there is the danger that they will abandon them. We need to understand that when we desperately want someone to approve of us, it’s being driven by that little kid part of us that is still afraid of being abandoned. As you become more capable of providing yourself with the approval you seek, your need for external approval will start to disappear, leaving you stronger, more confident, and yes, happier in your life. Imagine how much time we lose each moment we restrain our authentic selves in an effort to be liked. If we base our worth on the opinions of others, we cheat ourselves of the power to shape our experiences and embrace life not only for others but also for ourselves, because ultimately, there is no difference. So embrace the cliché (老话) and love yourself as you’ll not regret it. 51. What can we conclude from Lao Zi’s quotation? A. We should see through other people’s attempt to make a prisoner of us. B. We can never really please other people even if we try as hard as we can. C. We can never be truly free if we care about others’ opinion of us. D. We should care about other people’s view as much as they care about our own. 52. What will happen if we base our self-worth on other people’s approval? A. Our desire to be loved will be fulled B. Our Identity as social beings will be affected. C. Our life will be unfruitful and exhausting. D. Our sense of self will be sharpened and enhanced. 53. What may be the reason for our need to be liked or approved of? A. Our desperate longing for interactions with others. B. Our understanding of the workings of the world. C. Our knowledge about the pain of being abandoned. D. Our early childhood fear of being abandoned. 54. What can we do when we become better able to provide ourselves with the desired approval? A. Enjoy a happier life. B. Exercise self-restraint. C. Receive more external approval. D. Strengthen our power of imagination. 55. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph? A. Embrace life for others. B. Love ourselves as we are. C. See our experiences as our wealth. D. Base our worth on others’ opinions. 【答案】51. C 52. C 53. D 54. A 55. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主旨在于阐述过度在意他人看法的危害及原因，并鼓励读者摆脱这种依赖，通过自我肯定来增强自信和幸福感。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Lao Zi once said, “Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner. ”(老子曾经说过：“在意别人的想法，你将永远是别人的囚犯。”)”可知，如果我们过于在意他人的看法，就无法真正获得自由。故选C。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“People-pleasing, or seeking self-worth through others’ approval, is unproductive and an exhausting way to go through life.(取悦他人，或通过他人的认可来寻求自我价值，是一种无成效且疲惫的生活方式。)”可知，如果我们将自我价值建立在别人的认可上，那么我们的生活就会变得无成效且疲惫不堪。故选C。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“We need to understand that when we desperately want someone to approve of us, it’s being driven by that little kid part of us that is still afraid of being abandoned.( 当我们迫切希望得到某人的认可时，那是我们内心那个仍然害怕被遗弃的小孩在驱使。)”可知，我们渴望被喜欢或认可的原因是我们小时候害怕被抛弃。故选D。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“As you become more capable of providing yourself with the approval you seek, your need for external approval will start to disappear, leaving you stronger, more confident, and yes, happier in your life.( 当你更有能力为自己提供所需的认可时，你对外部认可的需求就会开始消失，这会让你变得更强大、更自信，生活也会更快乐。)”可知，当我们能够自己给自己提供所需的认可时，我们更能享受生活。故选A。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“So embrace the cliché (老话) and love yourself as you’ll not regret it.(所以接受老话：爱你自己，因为你不会后悔的。)”可知，作者在最后一段建议我们要接受并爱我们自己本来的样子，不要总是依赖他人的看法来定义自己的价值。故选B。 第II卷（共45分） 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，按照要求用英语回答问题。 When I was a kid, there was only one way my parents would let me stay home from school and that was if l had a high fever. Most of my friends could stay home due to a stomachache or a mild fever—but not me…I had to be dying in order to stay home. By the way, my parents are both doctors. My parents used to say that they were teaching me how to have a good work ethic(职业道德). I didn't understand the connection until last week. The other day I was on the train and sat behind a young man who was complaining to his friend about his life. He went on for twenty minutes about how his passion in life was to make movies, but he wouldn't pursue it because he had no clue if he could make enough money and he didn't want to waste time because it would take years to make it big. He then admitted to thinking about buying stocks(股票)by borrowing money because he thought he could easily make six figures within one year. His friend agreed with him and said, "The stock is good because you can make tons of money and only work for a short time." I think they were indulging(沉溺)in the wildest fantasy. Many people these days don't realize that when things seem to happen immediately, it is only because a lot of effort, determination and time have gone into them and it isn't due to some miraculous(不可思议的)event. The easier it looks, the more hours go into it. There is no excuse for laziness. Looking at the two young men, all of a sudden I was having a flashback of being ten years old and watching the television show Fame. In the show the dance teacher told her students, "If you want fame, fame costs and here's how you start paying for it…sweat." Every time we watched that show, my dad would proudly say how right the teacher was because in order to succeed you have to work hard. 56. When did the author's parents allow her to stay home from school?（no more than 10 words） _________________________________________________________________________________ 57. Why did the young man on the train give up his dream of making movies?（no more than 10 words） _________________________________________________________________________________ 58. What does the author think of the young men on the train?（only I word） _________________________________________________________________________________ 59. How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?（no more than 15 words） _________________________________________________________________________________ 60. Do you agree with the author's opinion? Why?（no more than 30 words） _________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. Only when she was seriously ill. Or: Only when she had a high fever. Or: Only when she was dying. 57 To earn a lot in a short time. Or: Because it would take years to make it big. Or: Because he didn't know if he could make enough money. 58. Impractical. Or: Lazy. 59. You have to start to work hard in order to succeed. 60. Yes, I do. There are no instant ways for success, and lots of time and energy must be devoted to them if we want to make achievements. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者通过回忆小时候父母对自己请假的严格要求，引出火车上两个年轻人不切实际地幻想轻松成功的事例，借此表达成功需要付出努力、决心和时间的观点。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“When I was a kid, there was only one way my parents would let me stay home from school and that was if l had a high fever. Most of my friends could stay home due to a stomachache or a mild fever — but not me…I had to be dying in order to stay home.(当我还是个孩子的时候，只有一种情况我父母才会让我待在家里不去上学，那就是我发高烧。我的大多数朋友因为胃痛或低烧就可以待在家里——但我不行…… 我得病得快不行了才能待在家里)”可知，作者只有在病得很重，比如发高烧或者奄奄一息的时候，父母才允许她待在家里不上学，故答案为Only when she was seriously ill. Or: Only when she had a high fever. Or: Only when she was dying. 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第二段“He went on for twenty minutes about how his passion in life was to make movies, but he wouldn't pursue it because he had no clue if he could make enough money and he didn't want to waste time because it would take years to make it big.(他滔滔不绝地讲了二十分钟，说他一生的爱好就是拍电影，但他不会去追求这个梦想，因为他不知道自己能否赚到足够的钱，而且他不想浪费时间，因为要想成名需要好几年的时间)”可知，火车上的年轻人放弃拍电影的梦想，一是因为不确定能否赚到足够的钱，二是觉得要花费很多年才能成名，即想在短时间内赚大钱，故答案为To earn a lot in a short time. Or: Because it would take years to make it big. Or: Because he didn't know if he could make enough money. 【58题详解】 考查推理判断。根据文章第三段“I think they were indulging (沉溺) in the wildest fantasy.(我认为他们沉溺于最疯狂的幻想之中)”以及“There is no excuse for laziness(没有理由懒惰)”可知，作者觉得火车上的年轻人不切实际，想法很懒惰，故答案为Impractical. Or: Lazy.。 【59题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据文章最后一段“Every time we watched that show, my dad would proudly say how right the teacher was because in order to succeed you have to work hard.(每次看那个节目，我爸爸都会自豪地说老师说得对，因为要想成功就必须努力工作)”可知下文说的是父母认为要想成功，就得付出努力，可推理出划线句子意思是要想成功，就得付出努力，从现在开始努力拼搏，故答案为You have to start to work hard in order to succeed.。 【60题详解】 考查推理判断。根据文章第二段“He went on for twenty minutes about how his passion in life was to make movies, but he wouldn't pursue it because he had no clue if he could make enough money and he didn't want to waste time because it would take years to make it big.(他滔滔不绝地讲了二十分钟，说他一生的爱好就是拍电影，但他不会去追求这个梦想，因为他不知道自己能否赚到足够的钱，而且他不想浪费时间，因为要想成名需要好几年的时间)”以及最后一段“Every time we watched that show, my dad would proudly say how right the teacher was because in order to succeed you have to work hard.(每次看那个节目，我爸爸都会自豪地说老师说得对，因为要想成功就必须努力工作)”可知，许多人只是滔滔不绝地谈论梦想却不付出努力，作者的父母认为要想成功，就得付出努力、决心和时间，没有捷径可走。故答案为Yes, I do. There are no instant ways for success, and lots of time and energy must be devoted to them if we want to make achievements. 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 61. 假定你是李华，你对“无国界医生”这个职业很感兴趣。经笔友介绍，你认识了一位无国界医生 Mr. Brown。请给他写一封邮件，内容包括： 1. 写邮件的目的——希望咨询了解无国界医生的工作情况； 2. 你想要咨询了解的内容。 词语提示：无国界医生 an MSF doctor 注意：写作词数应 80 左右 Dear Mr. Brown, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Mr. Brown, I am a student who will graduate from my high school.

One night he ___19___ at the rich man’s house, with a big smile on his face: “I found it!” he said, “My calculations are perfect.” The rich man was going on a long journey the next day, and didn’t have time to listen. He ___20___ the mathematician he would pay him double his wages if he would ___21___ charge of the business while he was away, and put the new formulas(计划) into ___22___ . Excited by his new discovery, the mathematician was delighted to ___23___ . When the rich man returned, months later, he found that all of his ___24___ had gone.

B Jason knelt on the baseball field, spotting a small piece of green among the yellow and brown winter grass. He touched it lightly, recognizing the first signs of spring. His eyes drifted to second base, where his team’s season had ended last year. He recalled warming up for the big playoff game, the stands filled with parents and students. The Northglenn Knights were facing the West Hills Hornets, with the winner moving to the city’s Junior League Championship. Jason felt great, joking with teammates and showing off during warm-up drills. “Knock it off, Jason,” Coach Fowler warned. As usual, Jason paid little attention. He was the Knights’ best player and knew Coach wouldn’t put him on the bench in a playoff game. Confident in his “natural talent”, he didn’t try as hard as the other players. But he was shocked when Coach left him on the bench. As the game progressed, Jason began to worry that Coach had had enough. When the Knights came to bat for the last time, Coach Fowler called him. “Grab a bat. You’ re in for Reuben.” “Don’t worry, Coach,” Jason replied. “I’ll get a hit.” “Keep your focus. The team is counting on you,” Coach warned. Jason walked confidently to the plate with a smile. Despite his playful behavior, he managed to hit the ball, allowing two teammates to score and giving the Knights the lead. As the team took the field again, Jason felt assured that the Knights would secure their spot in the championship with just three more outs. The first two outs were easy, but then a batter hit the ball towards Jason. While he was looking for his friends in the crowd, Jason missed the catch. The ball went into the outfield, allowing two Hornet players to score and ending the Knights’ season. Feeling terrible, Jason promised to change. He worked hard to improve, helped Coach with equipment, and volunteered at the park. He finally understood being part of a team, working alongside others to achieve a common goal. Now, as a few pieces of grass emerged from the cold ground, Jason felt his spirits lift. He couldn’t wait for the new season. “Won’t be long now,” Coach Fowler said, walking up behind him. “It sure was a long winter,” Jason replied. “Yes, it was,” Coach Fowler said, “but I’m seeing signs of change.” When Jason looked up again, though, Coach Fowler wasn’t looking at the new spring grass. He was looking at Jason. 41. How did Jason feel during the warm-up drills before the big playoff game? A. Nervous and anxious. B. Tired and unmotivated. C. Confident and lighthearted. D. Angry and frustrated. 42. What unexpected action did Coach Fowler take during the playoff game? A. He asked Jason to play a different position. B. He gave a motivational speech to the team. C. He benched Jason. D. He invited parents onto the field. 43. What mistake did Jason make during the game? A. He threw the ball to the wrong base. B. He missed the catch while looking for his friends. C. He forgot to run to second base. D. He cheered before the game was over. 44. What would the best title for the passage? A. Signs of Change B. Jason’s Promise C. The Missed Catch D. The Coach’s Challenge 45. How will Jason most likely be described in the upcoming baseball season? A. Patient. B. Courageous. C. Generous. D. Committed. C After waking up, you may feel frustrated that you cannot recall the dreams you had last night. Artificial intelligence (AI) may be able to help. Previously, there have been AI models that can turn text into images. They can do this by learning from a large amount of data from both tests and images. This time, researchers from Osaka University in Japan have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to re-create images based on people’s brain scans, reported Science magazine. The researchers used an online data set provided by the University of Minnesota, US, which consisted of brain scans from four participants as they each viewed a set of 10,000 photos. The scans were recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI,功能性磁共振成像). The AI then learned about the brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the FMRI data - when a part of the brain is activated, more blood will flow to it. It then matched the brain activities with the photos. Through this method, AI learned how human brains would react when seeing different photos. Finally, the researchers tested the AI on additional brain scans from the same participants when they viewed photos of a toy bear, airplane, clock and train. If the person looked at an airplane, for example, the AI would use the brain scan data to create an image of a very blurry (模糊的) airplane. Then, it would turn on the previous “text-to-image” model and improve the quality of the image by feeding itself the keyword “airplane”. The final images were “convincing” with about 80 percent of accuracy, according to the researchers. The new study created a novel approach that incorporates texts and images to “decipher (解码) the brain”, Ariel Goldstein from Princeton University, US, told Science magazine. In the future, scientists hope that the technology can be used to record imagined thoughts and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive reality. 46. What do we know about Stable Diffusion? A. It can help train people’s minds. B. It can fully present people’s dreams. C. It was created to draw people’s brains. D. It can produce pictures from people’s thoughts. 47. How did the AI system learn about human brain activities? A. By analyzing descriptions of human thoughts. B. By studying patterns of blood flow in the brain. C. By recording brain scans from four participants. D. By examining 10,000 photos about human brains. 48. How did the AI system improve the quality of the final images? A. By integrating additional brain scans. B. By adjusting various visual elements. C. By employing a “text-to-image” model. D. By inputting text from human observers. 49. What is the potential use of this technology according to scientists? A. To improve text-to-image models. B. To create more accurate brain scans. C. To learn how animals view the world. D. To help people interpret their dreams. 50. What makes the best title for the passage? A. The Research on AI System B. The Power of Science Magazine C. The Forms of Dreams D. The Study for Brain Activities D Lao Zi once said, “Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.” People-pleasing, or seeking self-worth through others’ approval, is unproductive and an exhausting way to go through life. Why do we allow what others think of us to have so much power over how we feel about ourselves? If it’s true that you can’t please all people all of the time, wouldn’t it make sense to stop trying? Unfortunately, sense often isn’t driving our behavior. For social beings who desire love and belonging, wanting to be liked, and caring about the effect we have on others, is healthy and allows us to make connections. However, where we get into trouble is when our self- worth is dependent on whether we win someone’s approval or not. This need to be liked can be traced back to when we were children and were completely dependent on others to take care of us: Small children are not just learning how to walk and communicate, they are also trying to learn how the world works. We learn about who we are and what is expected of us based on interactions with others so, to a four-year-old, if Mommy or Daddy doesn’t like him or her, there is the danger that they will abandon them. We need to understand that when we desperately want someone to approve of us, it’s being driven by that little kid part of us that is still afraid of being abandoned. As you become more capable of providing yourself with the approval you seek, your need for external approval will start to disappear, leaving you stronger, more confident, and yes, happier in your life. Imagine how much time we lose each moment we restrain our authentic selves in an effort to be liked. If we base our worth on the opinions of others, we cheat ourselves of the power to shape our experiences and embrace life not only for others but also for ourselves, because ultimately, there is no difference. So embrace the cliché (老话) and love yourself as you’ll not regret it. 51. What can we conclude from Lao Zi’s quotation? A. We should see through other people’s attempt to make a prisoner of us. B. We can never really please other people even if we try as hard as we can. C. We can never be truly free if we care about others’ opinion of us. D. We should care about other people’s view as much as they care about our own. 52. What will happen if we base our self-worth on other people’s approval? A. Our desire to be loved will be fulled B. Our Identity as social beings will be affected. C. Our life will be unfruitful and exhausting. D. Our sense of self will be sharpened and enhanced. 53. What may be the reason for our need to be liked or approved of? A. Our desperate longing for interactions with others. B. Our understanding of the workings of the world. C Our knowledge about the pain of being abandoned. D. Our early childhood fear of being abandoned. 54. What can we do when we become better able to provide ourselves with the desired approval? A. Enjoy a happier life. B. Exercise self-restraint. C. Receive more external approval. D. Strengthen our power of imagination. 55. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph? A. Embrace life for others. B. Love ourselves as we are. C. See our experiences as our wealth. D. Base our worth on others’ opinions. 第II卷（共45分） 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，按照要求用英语回答问题。 When I was a kid, there was only one way my parents would let me stay home from school and that was if l had a high fever. Most of my friends could stay home due to a stomachache or a mild fever—but not me…I had to be dying in order to stay home. By the way, my parents are both doctors. My parents used to say that they were teaching me how to have a good work ethic(职业道德). I didn't understand the connection until last week. The other day I was on the train and sat behind a young man who was complaining to his friend about his life. He went on for twenty minutes about how his passion in life was to make movies, but he wouldn't pursue it because he had no clue if he could make enough money and he didn't want to waste time because it would take years to make it big. He then admitted to thinking about buying stocks(股票)by borrowing money because he thought he could easily make six figures within one year. His friend agreed with him and said, "The stock is good because you can make tons of money and only work for a short time." I think they were indulging(沉溺)in the wildest fantasy. Many people these days don't realize that when things seem to happen immediately, it is only because a lot of effort, determination and time have gone into them and it isn't due to some miraculous(不可思议的)event. The easier it looks, the more hours go into it. There is no excuse for laziness. Looking at the two young men, all of a sudden I was having a flashback of being ten years old and watching the television show Fame. In the show the dance teacher told her students, "If you want fame, fame costs and here's how you start paying for it…sweat." Every time we watched that show, my dad would proudly say how right the teacher was because in order to succeed you have to work hard. 56.
