Since they can’t hear, talking to people can be tough. Fortunately, sign language interpreters step in to bridge this gap. Hao Shuxin, 24, sees sign language as her first language, as her parents are deaf. “I pick up sign language before I could even talk,” she recalled. From a young age, Hao has been helping her parents and other deaf individuals communicate. In 2018, she became a sign language interpreter at a law company in Chongqing, assisting deaf clients in legal matters. Since sign language has a smaller vocabulary, Hao often encounters complex legal terms that have no direct match. In such cases, she patiently breaks down the meaning for deaf people. There are also grammatical differences between Chinese and sign language. “For example, the phrase’ put out a fire’ is signed as’ a fire put out’ in sign language, as deaf people describe what they see first,” Hao explained. Besides hand gestures, facial expressions and mouth movements are essential components of sign language. They work together to accurately communicate messages and prevent misunderstandings. To ensure clarity in legal interpretations, Hao sometimes repeats a sentence two or three times for deaf individual. “I feel stressed at work because I worry about being misunderstood,” she admitted. Part of Hao’s anxiety comes from the fact that sign language has regional “dialects”. The same word can be expressed with different hand gestures depending on where a deaf person is from. “For example, people in Inner Mongolia and Chongqing use different gestures for the word’ true’,” Hao explained. She believes that patience and compassion（同情） are essential to her work. “My parents are deaf, so I understand the challenges faced by the deaf community. I want to do everything I can to help them,” Hao said. 24. What can be learned about Hao Shuxin? A. She wants to learn more sign language dialects. B. She hopes to be a successful lawyer in Chongqing. C. She learned sign language when she was very small. D. She communicates with others mainly by sign language. 25. What can we infer from the third paragraph? A. The vocabulary of sign language is very large. B. Sign language and Chinese have many similarities. C. It is not easy to express legal terms in sign language. D. It is hard for deaf people to understand the sign language. 26. What does the underlined word “clarity” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Clearness. B. Awareness. C. Kindness. D. Gentleness. 27. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Sign language is the first language of the deaf. B. A sign language interpreter guards the silent world. C. Sign language plays an important role in the legal field. D. A sign language interpreter significantly changes other people’s life. 【答案】24. C 25. C 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要讲述郝书欣的手语翻译经历，她从小掌握手语，现帮助聋哑人沟通并解决法律问题，展现了手语翻译的意义和挑战。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Hao Shuxin,24, sees sign language as her first language, as her parents are deaf. ‘I pick up sign language before I could even talk,’ she recalled.(24岁的郝书欣将手语视为她的第一语言，因为她的父母是聋哑人。她回忆道：“在我会说话之前，我就学会了手语。”)”可知，郝书欣她在很小的时候就学会了手语。故选C项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“Since sign language has a smaller vocabulary, Hao often encounters complex legal terms that have no direct match.(由于手语的词汇量较小，郝书欣经常遇到没有直接对应的复杂法律术语。)”可推知，用手语表达法律术语并不容易。故选C项。 【26题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段中“‘I feel stressed at work because I worry about being misunderstood,’ she admitted.(“我在工作中感到压力很大，因为我担心被误解，”她承认。)”以及“Hao sometimes repeats a sentence two or three times for deaf individual.(郝书欣有时会为聋人重复一句话两到三次。)”可知，郝书欣有时会为聋人重复一句话两到三次，担心被误解，目的是想确保法律解释的清晰性。由此可知，clarity意为“清晰性”。故选A项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据通读文章可知，文章从郝书欣的视角，描述了手语翻译的工作内容、挑战和意义，突出了她帮助聋哑人融入社会的努力，展现了她对无声世界的守护。B项“A sign language interpreter guards the silent world.(手语翻译守护无声的世界。)”符合文意，具有高度概括性，符合作为标题的特征。故选B项。 C 3D printing is becoming more and more popular. We are now able to create things we need very quickly and easily using 3D printers. But can you imagine printing food? Some scientists are trying to revolutionize the dining experience by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will be as common as the microwave oven or blender. Scientists say that it’ll be quite easy: You simply have to select a recipe and put the raw food “inks” into the printer. You can also modify the instructions to make the food exactly how you want it. This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and nutritious meals. Using 3D printers to create your meals would also be saving the environment. There would be less need for traditional growing, transporting and packaging processes as food production would be a lot more efficient. For example, alternative ingredients(原料)such as proteins from algae, beetroot leaves and insects could be converted into tasty products. Printing food could also help people who suffer from dysphagia (a swallowing disorder). They could program the printer to print softer versions of their favorite foods so that they would not have trouble swallowing them. However, some people think that a future of 3D food printing would be a disaster. It could take away many jobs, including those from growing, transporting and packaging food. Imagine a world where there was no need for farming or growing crops and the same tastes could be printed from a raw “food ink”. Likewise, traditional cafes and restaurants might lose business. Also, there are concerns about the nutritional value of printed food: Is it really possible to get the nutrients we need from food-based inks and gels(凝胶)? What’s more, cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity. It is hard to imagine a world where the pleasure of cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button. 28. Which of the following best describes 3D food printing? A. Quick and popular. B. Easy and efficient. C. Nutritious and tasty. D. Soft and convenient. 29. Why do some think that 3D food printing would be a disaster? A. Traditional food would disappear. B. Many people could lose their jobs. C. It would affect the people’s health. D. We could all eat the same food. 30. What can we infer from the passage? A. 3D food printing will replace traditional cooking. B. 3D printing food can treat dysphagia. C. 3D food printing would hurt our tradition of food culture. D. 3D food printing would be a failure. 31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. 3D Food “Printing”: Coming to the Kitchen. B. Can 3D Printing Create Everything? C. 3D Printing Food Will Be in Fashion! D. The Disadvantage of 3D Food Printing. 【答案】28. B 29. B 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了3D食品打印技术和它带来的好处及一些人对于该项发明的看法。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段关键句“Scientists say that it’ll be quite easy: you simply have to select a recipe and put the raw food “inks” into the printer. You can also modify the instructions to make the food exactly how you want it. This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and nutritious meals.(科学家说这很简单：你只需要选择一个食谱，然后把生的食物“墨水”放进打印机。你也可以修改说明，使食物完全符合你的要求。这意味着它将非常快速和容易地制作美味和营养的膳食。)”可知，3D食品打印是容易且高效的。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段关键句“However, some people think that a future of 3D food printing would be a disaster. It could take away many jobs, including those from growing, transporting and packaging food.(然而，一些人认为3D食品打印的未来将是一场灾难。它会带走很多工作岗位，包括种植、运输和包装食品的工作岗位。)”可知，一些人认为3D食品打印是一场灾难，因为3D食品打印会使得很多人失去工作。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段内容“What’s more, cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity. It is hard to imagine a world where the pleasure of cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button.(更重要的是，与家人和朋友一起做饭和吃饭一直是一种传统和令人愉快的活动。很难想象，在这样一个世界里，烹饪的乐趣已不复存在，只需按一下按钮就能创造出饭菜。)”可知，3D食品打印会损害我们的饮食文化传统。故选C项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段内容“Some scientists are trying to revolutionize the dining experience by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will be as common as the microwave oven or blender.(一些科学家正试图通过这样做来彻底改变用餐体验。他们希望厨房里的3D打印机能像微波炉或搅拌机一样普及。)”及全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了3D食品打印技术和它带来的好处及一些人对于该项发明的看法，所以A选项A.3D Food “Printing”: Coming to the Kitchen. (3D食物“打印”：走进厨房)符合本文大意，适合作为最佳标题。故选A项。 D Artificial intelligence (AI) has been increasingly good at fooling people. In March, a series of photos showing former US president Donald Trump being arrested by police caught people’s attention. They were fake but very convincing. Created by the AI program Midjourney, the photos were highly realistic, from the characters’ movements to the surroundings. However, many details can give away the fact that they are made by AI. As some experts have warned, the main idea is to spot anything that would look strange in a photo. AI software has a history of generating human hands incorrectly. It sometimes can create hands with more than five fingers. This is because AI isn’t sure what a “hand” exactly is. The data AI uses to learn often show hands and fingers in various gestures, which can be very confusing for AI. AI-generated images also usually contain details that go against reality. To spot this, focus on items like accessories. For example, people in an image may be missing earrings or one part of their sunglasses. If there’s text in an image, such as a newspaper or poster, it’s usually garbled (篡改), even though the text may look realistic from a distance. Another thing AI is terrible at handling is the background. If there’s a crowd in the image, people’s faces in the background are usually blurry - or they don’t have faces at all! The development of AI-generated art also raises alarm bells about how these fake images could be used to spread misinformation. “I think misinformation is going to hit an all-time high,” Jamie Cohen, a digital culture and AI expert in the US, told New York Post. Generating an AI artwork is to “create reality”, Cohen argued, adding that being able to tell whether the work is real or not requires high media literacy skills. “The world may not be ready for how realistic the images have become,” said Shane Kittelson, a US researcher. 32. How could people recognize that a photo is made by AI, according to the experts? A. By analyzing the source of the photo. B By learning your friends’ tips from time to time. C. By finding out the details that look strange in the photo. D. By going to the scene for themselves. 33. Why does AI generate human hands incorrectly according to the text? A. It hasn’t enough data about human hands. B. It is unable to recognize human hands. C. It doesn’t fully understand human hands. D. The data it uses to learn contain errors. 34. What is the description of AI is not right according to the article? A. We can tell if the photos made by AI by details B. It ever generated human hands falsely. C. It makes the text look realistic faraway. D. It deals with the background easily. 35. What is Jamie Cohen’s attitude towards AI-generated art at present? A. worried B. defensive C. supportive D. indifferent 【答案】32. C 33. C 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了人工智能生成图像的技术进步及其带来的问题。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的内容“Created by the AI program Midjourney, the photos were highly realistic, from the characters’ movements to the surroundings. However, many details can give away the fact that they are made by AI. As some experts have warned, the main idea is to spot anything that would look strange in a photo. (这些照片由人工智能程序Midjourney制作，从人物的动作到周围环境，都非常逼真。然而，许多细节可以泄露它们是由人工智能制作的事实。正如一些专家警告的那样，主要思路是发现照片中任何看起来奇怪的东西。)”可知，人们可以通过发现照片中奇怪的细节来识别AI生成的照片。故选C项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的内容“AI software has a history of generating human hands incorrectly. It sometimes can create hands with more than five fingers. This is because AI isn’t sure what a “hand” exactly is. The data AI uses to learn often show hands and fingers in various gestures, which can be very confusing for AI. (人工智能软件有错误生成人手的历史。它有时可以创造出超过五个手指的手。这是因为AI并不确定“手”到底是什么。人工智能用来学习的数据经常会以各种手势显示手和手指，这可能会让人工智能感到非常困惑。)”可知，人工智能会根据文本错误地生成人手是因为AI不完全理解人类的手。故选C项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段的句子“Another thing AI is terrible at handling is the background. (AI不擅长处理的另一件事是背景。)”可知，AI处理背景并不容易。所以，D项的描述是错误的。故选D项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的句子“I think misinformation is going to hit an all-time high,” Jamie Cohen, a digital culture and AI expert in the US, told New York Post. (美国数字文化和AI专家Jamie Cohen告诉《纽约邮报》：“我认为错误信息将达到历史新高。”)”可知，Jamie Cohen对AI生成的艺术品持担忧态度。故选A项。 第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2. 5 分, 满分 12. 5 分) 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，有两项为多余选项。 Top Performers Never Let a Second Go to Waste Every person on the planet is given the same 1440 minutes each day; it’s how we choose to use them that makes all the difference. ___36___ To help you make the most of the time, check out these simple yet effective tips. Finish the most important tasks first This is calling Eating That Frog! ___37___ When you do that, everything else will be simple. By sticking to this method, you can ensure that you are always doing the most important things first and using your time as wisely as possible. Divide to make it manageable If you have a major task to get done, try to divide it up into smaller ones. This collection of smaller tasks will seem much less unmanageable than viewed as the whole. Take enough time to relax and revive A little bit of relaxation is crucial for maintaining a positive, motivated mindset. If you work constantly without taking the time to rest and gather your thoughts, you’ll quickly burn out and be unable to efficiently accomplish your tasks no matter how hard you try. One recommendation for relaxation time is work-out. ___38___ Reward yourself once in a while Each time you complete a task (or a significant portion of a task), reward yourself. ___39___You can step outside and stretch, get a cookie from the box, check your phone. So long as your rewards don’t start taking up too much of your time, they can be a powerful way for you to stay motivated. ___40___ Distractions contribute to procrastination (拖延症). Sometimes, the only way to completely defeat procrastination is to lock yourself in a room and avoid all distractions. Put your phone in another room, pull the shades, and get to work until the task is finished. A. It just doesn’t have to be anything major. B. Lock the door to stay focused and keep up. C. Stop yourself from being lazy and take actions. D. Start every day by tackling your largest, scariest task first. E. Unfortunately, efficient time management can be challenging. F. You can begin with the tasks you feel important and interesting. G. Anyway, do whatever you find the most refreshing and peaceful. 【答案】36. E 37. D 38. G 39. A 40. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了充分利用每天时间的建议。 【36题详解】 上文“Every person on the planet is given the same 1440 minutes each day; it’s how we choose to use them that makes all the difference.”（地球上的每个人每天都有相同的1440分钟；重要的是我们选择如何使用它们。）讲的是如何使用时间。下文“To help you make the most of the time, check out these simple yet effective tips.”（为了帮助你充分利用时间，看看这些简单而有效的建议。）提到建议来帮助你充分利用时间。E项Unfortunately, efficient time management can be challenging.（不幸的是，有效的时间管理具有挑战性。）起到承上启下作用，上下文语意连贯。故选E项。 【37题详解】 根据该段标题“Finish the most important tasks first”（先完成最重要的任务）提到完成最重要的任务。以及下文“When you do that, everything else will be simple.”（当你这样做了，其他事情就简单了。）可推知空格处内容为与该段标题内容以及下文相关。D项Start every day by tackling your largest, scariest task first.（每天从最艰巨、最可怕的任务开始。）符合此推断，与标题内容意思一致，下文内容是空格处的语意递进。故选D项。 【38题详解】 由该空格处位于该段句尾可知，为总结该段内容或与上文内容相关。该段上文“A little bit of relaxation is crucial for maintaining a positive, motivated mindset. If you work constantly without taking the time to rest and gather your thoughts, you’ll quickly burn out and be unable to efficiently accomplish your tasks no matter how hard you try. One recommendation for relaxation time is work-out.”（一点点放松对于保持积极、积极的心态是至关重要的。如果你不停地工作而不花时间休息和整理思绪，你很快就会筋疲力尽，无论你多么努力都无法有效地完成任务。放松时间的一个建议是锻炼。）讲的是花足够的时间放松和恢复精力，G项Anyway, do whatever you find the most refreshing and peaceful.（无论如何，做任何你觉得最提神和最平静的事情。）和上文内容意思一致，为该段内容的总结。故选G项。 【39题详解】 上文“Each time you complete a task (or a significant portion of a task), reward yourself.”（每次你完成一项任务（或任务的重要部分），奖励一下自己。）说明完成一项任务，奖励一下自己。下文“You can step outside and stretch, get a cookie from the box, check your phone.”（你可以出去伸个懒腰，从盒子里拿块饼干，看看手机。）为具体奖励的事情。A项It just doesn’t have to be anything major.（不一定是什么大事。）符合题意，下文是对空格处内容的具体说明解释，上下文语意连贯。故选A项。 【40题详解】 空处为段落小标题。根据下文“Distractions contribute to procrastination . Sometimes, the only way to completely defeat procrastination is to lock yourself in a room and avoid all distractions. Put your phone in another room, pull the shades, and get to work until the task is finished.”（分心会导致拖延。有时候，彻底战胜拖延症的唯一方法就是把自己锁在房间里，避免一切分心的事情。把你的手机放在另一个房间，拉上窗帘，开始工作，直到任务完成。）可知，讲的是保持专注。B项Lock the door to stay focused and keep up.（锁好门，保持专注，跟上进度。）可总结该段内容。故选B项。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节 完形填空（共 15 小题；每题 1分，满分 15分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A, B, C 和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 It was a sunny Sunday afternoon.

However, experts noted that too much social media use is known to have a negative influence ___58___ mental health. So they started a study to investigate how to improve mental health in this time of rapid digitalisation. The results of the study ___59___ (lead) by Dr Julia Brailovskaia of the Mental Health Research and Treatment Center clearly showed that individuals who cut their social media use by 30 minutes a day ___60___ used this time for physical activity could ___61___ (significant) improve their mental health. Participants who replaced 30 minutes of social media use with exercise every day for two weeks ___62___ (have) powerful results. They reported feeling ___63___ (happy), more satisfied, less stressed and less depressed. The positive effects lasted for at least six months after the study had ended. “This shows us how vital it is ___64___ (reduce) our availability online from time to time and to go back to our human roots,” said Dr Brailovskaia. “These measures can be easily applied to people’s ___65___ (day) lives and they’re completely free and, at the same time, they help us to stay happy and healthy in the digital age.” 【答案】56. which 57. areas 58. on##upon 59. led 60. and 61. significantly 62. had 63. happier 64. to reduce 65. daily 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了随着数字化的发展，过多使用社交媒体对心理健康有负面影响，而研究表明减少使用社交媒体并将这些时间用于锻炼，可以显著改善心理健康。 【56题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：数字化是21世纪的一个主要特征，代表着社会向数字技术在生活各个领域的广泛应用转变。空处引导一个非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词Digitalisation，且在从句中作主语，所以应用which引导。故填which。 【57题详解】 考查名词的数。句意：参考上题。area为可数名词，其前有various修饰，所以应用名词复数。故填areas。 【58题详解】 考查介词。句意：然而，专家指出，过多地使用社交媒体被认为会对心理健康产生负面影响。have a negative influence on/upon意为“对……有消极影响”，为固定搭配。故填on/upon。 【59题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：心理健康研究与治疗中心的Julia Brailovskaia博士领导的这项研究的结果清楚地表明，人们每天将社交媒体的使用时间减少30分钟，并将这段时间用于体育活动，可以显著改善他们的心理健康。主句的谓语是showed，所以空处应用非谓语动词。lead与其逻辑主语the study之间是动宾关系，所以应用过去分词作后置定语。故填led。 【60题详解】 考查连词。句意：参考上题。根据句意并分析句子结构，“cut their social media use by 30 minutes a day”和“used this time for physical activity”之间是并列关系，应用and连接定语从句的谓语动词。故填and。 【61题详解】 考查副词。句意：参考第4题。空处应用副词修饰动词improve。significantly意为“显著地”。故填significantly。 【62题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：参与者在两周内每天用锻炼代替社交媒体30分钟，取得了强有力的效果。空处作主句的谓语；根据从句中的replaced并结合上下文时态可知，这是发生在过去的事情，应用一般过去时。故填had。 【63题详解】 考查比较级。句意：他们报告说感觉更快乐、更满足、压力更少、抑郁更少。结合后文的more satisfied, less stressed and less depressed可知需要填入形容词比较级作表语，happy的比较级为happier表达“更快乐”。故填happier。 【64题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：Brailovskaia博士说：“这向我们表明，不时减少我们的在线可用性并回归我们的人类根源是多么重要。”句中how引导了一个宾语从句，从句是“it is+adj.+to do...”句型，其中it作形式主语，不定式是真正的主语。本句中形容词vital置于how之后。故填to reduce。 【65题详解】 考查形容词。句意：这些方法可以轻松应用于人们的日常生活。空格处需要形容词daily，表示“日常的”修饰名词lives。故填daily。 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，你校羽毛球俱乐部(badminton club)下周将举行校羽毛球比赛，请写一封邮件， 邀请你的外国朋友Sam与你一起观看比赛，内容包括： 1. 比赛安排； 2. 见面时间、地点； 3. 表示期待。 注意：（1）词数80字左右（2）可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Sam, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Sam, I’m extremely excited to tell you that our school badminton club will hold the competition at 3 o’clock in the afternoon next Friday.

I stopped and saw a side of dogs I’d never experienced. Staring at me, he began to circle me. Scared, I tried to walk away. The moment my back was turned, he seized my ankle. His teeth locked into my flesh. I screamed and kicked until he let go. I ran home, with the dog chasing me until he gave up near my house. I ran into the house, crying so hard that my mother couldn’t understand what had happened. Once my wounds were cleaned and bandaged (包扎), I told her, “A dog bit me, Mommy. It hurt.” I felt more betrayed than scared—— one of the animals I loved had hurt me for no reason. “I’ll never trust another dog again,” I said. That night, my nightmares grew worse. My fear of dogs grew so intense that I refused to visit my grandfather’s farm, where he had a dog I used to love. I became so terrified that my mom had to walk me past the house where the dog lived every day, and I struggled to focus at school. My teacher contacted my mother and my mom was determined to help me get over this fear. “Gail you need to overcome this fear,” my mom said as we walked home. “Remember my friend Emma? She has a black Lab named Chips, and she’s invited us to meet him.” Dread filled me. “No, Mommy, please! I hate dogs. They want to hurt me!” “Not Chips,” she said, smiling. “I promise it won’t happen.” Unwillingly, we went to Emma’s house. My heart raced as she opened the door, revealing Chips wagging his tail. “Hello, Chips,” my mom greeted him. As Chips wagged (摇) his tail, I couldn’t shake off the fear that still remained from the previous attack. I know I should greet him too but I was frozen by fear. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With my mom’s gentle encouragement I knew I had to try. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I continued to pat him, feeling something had changed in my mind. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】With my mom’s gentle encouragement, I knew I had to try. I took a deep breath and slowly reached out my hand towards Chips. My fingers trembled as I extended them towards him and for a moment, I hesitated. Memories of past fear surged through my mind, but I pushed them aside. I closed my eyes briefly and forced myself to touch him. To my surprise, instead of barking or pulling away, Chips simply wagged his tail and leaned into my hand. The softness of his fur under my fingers was comforting, and a small smile crept onto my face. I continued to pat him, feeling something had changed in my mind. Chips wagged his tail, his eyes filled with kindness, not aggression. I sat back, watching him settle at my feet, and the weight of the fear I had carried for so long began to lift. My mom smiled, clearly noticing the change in me, and I smile back. I had thought that all dogs wanted to hurt me, but Chips had proven me wrong. For the first time since the attack, I felt like I could let go of my fear and start to trust again. Only then did I realize that to conquer fear is the beginning of growth. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一年级的时候被一只黑狗咬伤，这导致他有了严重的噩梦和对狗的极度恐惧，甚至影响到了他的日常生活和学习，作者的母亲注意到了他的问题，决定帮助他克服对狗的恐惧。她邀请小作者和她一起去见她的朋友Emma和她家的狗Chips，作者去了以后仍然感到非常害怕，但他也意识到这只狗和之前咬他的狗不同。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在妈妈温柔的鼓励下，我知道我必须试一试。”可知，第一段可描写作者在母亲的温柔鼓励下，鼓起勇气尝试与狗Chips接触的过程和感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“我继续拍着他，感觉我的想法发生了变化。”可知，第二段可描写作者在与狗Chips进一步互动后，内心发生的变化以及这一变化带来的积极影响。 2.续写线索：作者伸出手——强迫自己碰狗——狗很友好——狗坐在作者脚边——作者笑了——作者放下恐惧——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①伸出：reach out/stick out ②强迫：force/compel ③放开：let go of/let loose 情绪类 ①恐惧：fear/dread ②惊讶：to my surprise/to my astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1] My fingers trembled as I extended them towards him and for a moment, I hesitated.

B Sign language is the main way deaf people communicate. Since they can’t hear, talking to people can be tough. Fortunately, sign language interpreters step in to bridge this gap. Hao Shuxin, 24, sees sign language as her first language, as her parents are deaf. “I pick up sign language before I could even talk,” she recalled. From a young age, Hao has been helping her parents and other deaf individuals communicate. In 2018, she became a sign language interpreter at a law company in Chongqing, assisting deaf clients in legal matters. Since sign language has a smaller vocabulary, Hao often encounters complex legal terms that have no direct match. In such cases, she patiently breaks down the meaning for deaf people. There are also grammatical differences between Chinese and sign language. “For example, the phrase’ put out a fire’ is signed as’ a fire put out’ in sign language, as deaf people describe what they see first,” Hao explained. Besides hand gestures, facial expressions and mouth movements are essential components of sign language. They work together to accurately communicate messages and prevent misunderstandings. To ensure clarity in legal interpretations, Hao sometimes repeats a sentence two or three times for deaf individual. “I feel stressed at work because I worry about being misunderstood,” she admitted. Part of Hao’s anxiety comes from the fact that sign language has regional “dialects”. The same word can be expressed with different hand gestures depending on where a deaf person is from. “For example, people in Inner Mongolia and Chongqing use different gestures for the word’ true’,” Hao explained. She believes that patience and compassion（同情） are essential to her work. “My parents are deaf, so I understand the challenges faced by the deaf community. I want to do everything I can to help them,” Hao said. 24. What can be learned about Hao Shuxin? A. She wants to learn more sign language dialects. B. She hopes to be a successful lawyer in Chongqing. C. She learned sign language when she was very small. D She communicates with others mainly by sign language. 25. What can we infer from the third paragraph? A. The vocabulary of sign language is very large. B. Sign language and Chinese have many similarities. C. It is not easy to express legal terms in sign language. D. It is hard for deaf people to understand the sign language. 26. What does the underlined word “clarity” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Clearness. B. Awareness. C. Kindness. D. Gentleness. 27. What does the text mainly talk about? A. Sign language is the first language of the deaf. B. A sign language interpreter guards the silent world. C. Sign language plays an important role in the legal field. D. A sign language interpreter significantly changes other people’s life. C 3D printing is becoming more and more popular. We are now able to create things we need very quickly and easily using 3D printers. But can you imagine printing food? Some scientists are trying to revolutionize the dining experience by doing this. They hope that having a 3D printer in the kitchen will be as common as the microwave oven or blender. Scientists say that it’ll be quite easy: You simply have to select a recipe and put the raw food “inks” into the printer. You can also modify the instructions to make the food exactly how you want it. This means that it would be very quick and easy to create tasty and nutritious meals. Using 3D printers to create your meals would also be saving the environment. There would be less need for traditional growing, transporting and packaging processes as food production would be a lot more efficient. For example, alternative ingredients(原料)such as proteins from algae, beetroot leaves and insects could be converted into tasty products. Printing food could also help people who suffer from dysphagia (a swallowing disorder). They could program the printer to print softer versions of their favorite foods so that they would not have trouble swallowing them. However, some people think that a future of 3D food printing would be a disaster. It could take away many jobs, including those from growing, transporting and packaging food. Imagine a world where there was no need for farming or growing crops and the same tastes could be printed from a raw “food ink”. Likewise, traditional cafes and restaurants might lose business. Also, there are concerns about the nutritional value of printed food: Is it really possible to get the nutrients we need from food-based inks and gels(凝胶)? What’s more, cooking and eating together with family and friends has long been a traditional and enjoyable activity. It is hard to imagine a world where the pleasure of cooking is dead and meals can be created at the touch of a button. 28. Which of the following best describes 3D food printing? A. Quick and popular. B. Easy and efficient. C. Nutritious and tasty. D. Soft and convenient. 29. Why do some think that 3D food printing would be a disaster? A. Traditional food would disappear. B. Many people could lose their jobs. C. It would affect the people’s health. D. We could all eat the same food. 30. What can we infer from the passage? A. 3D food printing will replace traditional cooking. B. 3D printing food can treat dysphagia. C. 3D food printing would hurt our tradition of food culture. D. 3D food printing would be a failure. 31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. 3D Food “Printing”: Coming to the Kitchen. B. Can 3D Printing Create Everything? C. 3D Printing Food Will Be in Fashion! D. The Disadvantage of 3D Food Printing. D Artificial intelligence (AI) has been increasingly good at fooling people. In March, a series of photos showing former US president Donald Trump being arrested by police caught people’s attention. They were fake but very convincing. Created by the AI program Midjourney, the photos were highly realistic, from the characters’ movements to the surroundings. However, many details can give away the fact that they are made by AI. As some experts have warned, the main idea is to spot anything that would look strange in a photo. AI software has a history of generating human hands incorrectly. It sometimes can create hands with more than five fingers. This is because AI isn’t sure what a “hand” exactly is. The data AI uses to learn often show hands and fingers in various gestures, which can be very confusing for AI. AI-generated images also usually contain details that go against reality. To spot this, focus on items like accessories. For example, people in an image may be missing earrings or one part of their sunglasses. If there’s text in an image, such as a newspaper or poster, it’s usually garbled (篡改), even though the text may look realistic from a distance. Another thing AI is terrible at handling is the background. If there’s a crowd in the image, people’s faces in the background are usually blurry - or they don’t have faces at all! The development of AI-generated art also raises alarm bells about how these fake images could be used to spread misinformation. “I think misinformation is going to hit an all-time high,” Jamie Cohen, a digital culture and AI expert in the US, told New York Post. Generating an AI artwork is to “create reality”, Cohen argued, adding that being able to tell whether the work is real or not requires high media literacy skills. “The world may not be ready for how realistic the images have become,” said Shane Kittelson, a US researcher. 32. How could people recognize that a photo is made by AI, according to the experts? A. By analyzing the source of the photo. B. By learning your friends’ tips from time to time. C. By finding out the details that look strange in the photo. D. By going to the scene for themselves. 33. Why does AI generate human hands incorrectly according to the text? A. It hasn’t enough data about human hands. B. It is unable to recognize human hands. C. It doesn’t fully understand human hands. D. The data it uses to learn contain errors. 34. What is the description of AI is not right according to the article? A. We can tell if the photos made by AI by details B. It ever generated human hands falsely. C. It makes the text look realistic faraway. D. It deals with the background easily. 35 What is Jamie Cohen’s attitude towards AI-generated art at present? A. worried B. defensive C. supportive D. indifferent 第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2. 5 分, 满分 12. 5 分) 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，有两项为多余选项。 Top Performers Never Let a Second Go to Waste Every person on the planet is given the same 1440 minutes each day; it’s how we choose to use them that makes all the difference. ___36___ To help you make the most of the time, check out these simple yet effective tips.

Take enough time to relax and revive A little bit of relaxation is crucial for maintaining a positive, motivated mindset. If you work constantly without taking the time to rest and gather your thoughts, you’ll quickly burn out and be unable to efficiently accomplish your tasks no matter how hard you try. One recommendation for relaxation time is work-out. ___38___ Reward yourself once in a while Each time you complete a task (or a significant portion of a task), reward yourself. ___39___You can step outside and stretch, get a cookie from the box, check your phone. So long as your rewards don’t start taking up too much of your time, they can be a powerful way for you to stay motivated. ___40___ Distractions contribute to procrastination (拖延症).

Stop yourself from being lazy and take actions. D. Start every day by tackling your largest, scariest task first. E. Unfortunately, efficient time management can be challenging. F.

I stopped and saw a side of dogs I’d never experienced. Staring at me, he began to circle me. Scared, I tried to walk away. The moment my back was turned, he seized my ankle. His teeth locked into my flesh. I screamed and kicked until he let go. I ran home, with the dog chasing me until he gave up near my house. I ran into the house, crying so hard that my mother couldn’t understand what had happened. Once my wounds were cleaned and bandaged (包扎), I told her, “A dog bit me, Mommy. It hurt.” I felt more betrayed than scared—— one of the animals I loved had hurt me for no reason. “I’ll never trust another dog again,” I said. That night, my nightmares grew worse. My fear of dogs grew so intense that I refused to visit my grandfather’s farm, where he had a dog I used to love. I became so terrified that my mom had to walk me past the house where the dog lived every day, and I struggled to focus at school. My teacher contacted my mother and my mom was determined to help me get over this fear. “Gail, you need to overcome this fear,” my mom said as we walked home. “Remember my friend Emma? She has a black Lab named Chips, and she’s invited us to meet him.” Dread filled me. “No, Mommy, please! I hate dogs. They want to hurt me!” “Not Chips,” she said, smiling. “I promise it won’t happen.” Unwillingly, we went to Emma’s house. My heart raced as she opened the door, revealing Chips wagging his tail. “Hello, Chips,” my mom greeted him. As Chips wagged (摇) his tail, I couldn’t shake off the fear that still remained from the previous attack. I know I should greet him too but I was frozen by fear. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With my mom’s gentle encouragement, I knew I had to try. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I continued to pat him, feeling something had changed in my mind. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$英语试卷听力部分，听力考试正式开始。第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Excuse me, could you tell me the way to the station?
