Hidden London: the Exhibition takes you on a journey of some of London’s most secret spaces in the world’s oldest underground system. These “forgotten” parts of the Tube network have incredible stories to tell about Britain’s wartime past. You can enjoy the largest number of rare photos and objects from disused stations that have been brought together in one location. Discover stories about how Churchill took shelter at the height of the Blitz deep underground at Down Street station. See how shelterers lived down at Clapham South station, where they slept and how they kept entertained. You can also explore other locations that we have recreated in our Global Gallery, including the historic abandoned ticket hall at Aldwych station with an original 1930s ticket office. The exhibition uncovers why these “lost” parts of the underground network exist. Changes in population, economic priorities and political pressures have all led to spaces being abandoned. But they rarely stay that way. While some sections of the Tube system lie “forgotten”, many have been repurposed for new activities and are used for special Hidden London tours, growing salad leaves, and for filming locations, including Charing Cross, which featured in Skyfall (2012). Admission Charges: Child Ticket: FREE Adult Ticket: £16.50 per ticket Reduced Ticket: £15.50 per ticket Reduced price applies to senior citizens (60+) and visitors with disabilities.

A. £31 B. £33 C. £46.5 D. £49.5 B There was a girl named Sabrina who suffered from a severe peanut allergy. This condition, characterized by symptoms like severe itching, swelling, and difficulty breathing upon exposure to peanuts, could have been fatal if not detected and managed early. Fortunately, her allergy was identified at a young age. With the help of doctors and strict dietary measures, she was able to control her symptoms and lead a normal life. However, this experience had a profound impact on her, and she became passionate about helping others with the same suffering of chronic diseases like her. Sabrina realized that early detection was crucial for many such conditions. She decided to focus her studies on this area and eventually got admitted to the medical school of the Yale, where she specialized in the early detection of chronic diseases. During her studies, she encountered various chronic diseases with specific symptoms. One such disease was diabetes, characterized by high blood sugar levels, fatigue, frequent urination, and increased thirst. Another was chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which caused persistent coughing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. Nothing can get in the way of a strong-willed heart. Sabrina also studied heart diseases like coronary artery disease (冠心病), which often presented with chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue. She learned that early detection of these diseases through regular screenings and lifestyle modifications could significantly improve patients’ quality of life and reduce the risk of severe complications. At Yale, Sabrina conducted research on developing more effective screening methods for these chronic diseases. Her work focused on identifying biomarkers and genetic factors that could predict the happening of these conditions, allowing for earlier intervention and better management. This little girl’s dedication and research have contributed significantly to the field of chronic diseases management. Her work has helped develop new screening tools and improved treatment strategies, bringing hope to countless individuals living with these conditions. Through her story and efforts, Sabrina has shown that early detection and intervention are key to overcoming the challenges posed by chronic diseases. 4.

Openness and diligence. C. Passion and self-discipline. D. Integrity and kindness. 7. What can we learn from the passage? A. Interest is the Best Teacher. B. Misfortune may be a blessing. C. Experience more, know more. D. Early Bird catches the Worm. C The future of space food could be simple and strange. For decades, astronauts have relied mostly on prepackaged food or the occasional grown vegetables during their visits to outer space. With missions beyond Earth’s orbit in sight, a NAS Aled competition is hoping to change all that and start a new era of sustainable space food. To solve the problem of feeding astronauts on long duration missions, the US space agency started the Deep Space Food Challenge in January 2022, asking companies to propose novel ways to develop sustainable foods for future missions. About 200 companies entered, which were narrowed down to 11 teams in January 2023 as part of phase 2. On November 19, NASA announced the teams that will progress into the final phase of the competition, with some winners to be announced in March. 2025. All teams had to show systems that could operate for three years and feed a crew of four on a future space mission. The proposals did not need to supply a crew’s entire diet, but they did need to create a variety of nutritious foods to the astronauts. One company took an incredibly unusual approach to the task. Air Company, base d in New York, designed a system that could use the carbon dioxide breathed out by astronauts in space to produce alcohol, which can then be fed to yeast (酵母) and produce “something that’s suitable for eating”. “It’s making food out of the air.” says Stafford Sheehan, cofound er and chief technology officer of Air Company, “It sounds like magic, but when you see it actually operating, it’s much more simple.” Interstellar Lab in Florida had a different approach. Its system, called NUCLEUS, is a set of small capsules. Each is self-contained, with its own temperature, watering system. etc. That would allow different vegetables to be planted so that astronauts can easily grow their own food. in space. While the winning ideas from the Deep Space Food Challenge won’t immediately be used by astronauts, they show what might be possible on future missions. “You’ve got to start years in advance to make sure you have the capability in place when you need it,” says Ralph Fritsche, senior project manager for space crop production at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. 8 Why was the Deep Space Food Challenge launched? A. To find tasty foods for astronauts. B. To found a space food supply center. C. To develop a new source of space food. D. To attract astronauts to food exploration. 9. Which might be the requirement to become the winning company? A. Future space missions lasting three years. B. Entire diets for long-lasting space research. C. Concrete proposals involving a crew of four. D. Sustainable supply of nutritious space foods. 10. What do paragraphs 4 and 5 focus on? A. Process of creating space foods. B. Unique systems of storing foods. C. Examples of specific space foods. D. Prospects of these food companies. 11. What is the most suitable title for the text? A. Astronauts produce more space food B. Space explorers face a lack of nutrition C. Future space missions last even longer D. New types of space foods are on the way D A team of researchers in Florida may have just created the world’s coolest paint ever. Chanda, a researcher in the University of Central Florida, and his team have created a way to imitate copy nature’s ability to reflect light and create beautifully vivid color without absorbing any heat like traditional pigments (色素) do. They focus on exploring structural color (结构色) and how people could use it to live cooler in a rapidly warming world. Structural colors are created not from traditional pigmentation but from the arrangement of colorless materials to reflect light in certain ways, like how rainbows are made after it rains. Think about the most beautiful colors you’ve ever seen — forest green, wine red or crystal blue, some of which, however, are nearly impossible to recreate artificially. That’s because these beautiful colors are not achieved through pigments — they’re all in the structure, like the green of peacocks’ feathers. Think about those cherries that redden your mouth after eating them or when your jeans turned green from sitting in wet grass. These are pigments. To create these colors, synthetic (合成的) materials like heavy metals are used to create vivid paints. Chanda stressed, “A deep blue needs cobalt; a deep red needs cadmium. They are toxic. We are contaminating our nature by using this kind of paint. So one of the major motivations for us is to create colors based on non-toxic materials.” Beyond the beautiful colors and safety that structure can provide, Chanda also found that unlike pigments, structural paint does not absorb heat but reflects light back. That’s why people are advised to wear lighter colors in hotter days and why many buildings are painted white. This means this eco-friendly paint could help communities keep cool in an increasingly warming climate. “Nature has followed the path to create harmony among our surroundings,” Chanda said. “We want to be colorful but our color production is not really supported or inspired by nature. I hope this paint could be the future to a healthier, cooler environment.” 12. Which of the following colors doesn’t belong to structural colors? A. The green of peacocks’ feathers. B. The orange of bright rainbows. C. The blue of butterfly wings. D. The purple of ripe grapes. 13. What does the underlined word “toxic” in the third paragraph probably mean? A. Neutral. B. Useless. C. Attractive. D. Harmful. 14 Which of the following best describes the advantages of the newly-created paint? A. Traditional, healthy and cooling. B. Colorless, healthy and artificial. C. Vivid, eco-friendly and cooling. D. Vivid, man-made and eco-friendly. 15. What’s the main idea of the text? A. The paint of structural color could help people live cooler and healthier. B. Traditional approaches of color production remain to be improved. C. Human beings should respect the harmony of our surroundings. D. Many attractive colors couldn’t be recreated artificially. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You’re standing in line at the grocery store or waiting for an elevator. You have no more than a minute to kill. And yet, before you’ve even realized what you’re doing, you’ve pulled out your phone and have begun to mindlessly scroll (滚屏) through apps. ____16____ Research suggests plenty of people do the same thing. Only 11% of people's smartphone checks were in response to a notification. For the rest of the time, they checked their phones totally unplanned, often without thinking through why they were doing it. We' re so used to constant stimulation that we feel uncomfortable when we’re not doing anything, even for just a few seconds. Our brains are hardwired to seek out rewards like knowledge, entertainment, and social connection. All of those things were much harder to find before we had tiny computers at our fingertips. Now we do. Our phones are basically all-you-can-eat buffets for our brains, endlessly and easily serving up the things they want. ____17____ A quick phone check probably isn't doing your brain any real harm. ____18____ Over time, constant scrolling could have a negative effect on your job performance, relationships, sleep, and possibly even physical safety, if you’re doing things like checking your phone while you walk or drive. ____19____ When you give in to your urges and check your phone, then feel guilty about it, the feeling of failure adds shame to injury. If you want to break the habit of constant checking, you’ll have to work at it. Building awareness is a good way. ____20____ For example, next time you catch yourself scrolling through short videos without even absorbing the content, think about whether you really want to be on your phone, or you are just putting off a less-fun task. A. Checking your phone is often automatic. B. There's also a mental-health element to consider. C. Of course our minds can't help but feed themselves. D. Start going without your phone for set periods of time. E. The urge to check your phone is often related to stress relief. F. Take a moment to ask yourself what is driving your behavior. G. But it's also worth considering how all those little checks add up. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 As an outdoorsy girl, I’m familiar with camping.

Though born in a family that struggled to make ends meet, Tim was a bright and lively boy, having a strong passion for music. He held a dream that he could perform music for many people at his own concert in the future. One day, word reached Tim about a local music competition, the prize of which was a full scholarship to a highly regarded music academy. This was an opportunity that seemed like a golden ticket to his dream, so he made the decision to participate. After hurrying to sign up for the competition, he made a plan to practice, day in and day out, using an old guitar that had been passed down from his grandfather. When the day of the competition finally arrived, Tim felt a mixture of nervousness and excitement. He stepped onto the stage and poured all his heart, soul, and love into the music. He felt rather satisfied with his performance. During the following days, he waited for the result anxiously. However, he didn’t win. He completely broke down, feeling all his painstaking efforts were for nothing. A deep sense of discouragement settled over him. His parents knew that his skills are not good enough but didn’t know how to comfort him. Tim was always sitting, playing his old guitar in the park, with nobody to talk with. A few weeks later, a man named Mr. Thompson moved into the neighborhood. Little did anyone know that Mr. Thompson was a guitar master who once shared the spotlight on stages with well-known bands but now sought the peace of a quiet life.

For decades, astronauts have relied mostly on prepackaged food or the occasional grown vegetables during their visits to outer space. With missions beyond Earth’s orbit in sight, a NAS Aled competition is hoping to change all that and start a new era of sustainable space food. To solve the problem of feeding astronauts on long duration missions, the US space agency started the Deep Space Food Challenge in January 2022, asking companies to propose novel ways to develop sustainable foods for future missions. About 200 companies entered, which were narrowed down to 11 teams in January 2023 as part of phase 2. On November 19, NASA announced the teams that will progress into the final phase of the competition, with some winners to be announced in March. 2025. All teams had to show systems that could operate for three years and feed a crew of four on a future space mission. The proposals did not need to supply a crew’s entire diet, but they did need to create a variety of nutritious foods to the astronauts. One company took an incredibly unusual approach to the task. Air Company, base d in New York, designed a system that could use the carbon dioxide breathed out by astronauts in space to produce alcohol, which can then be fed to yeast (酵母) and produce “something that’s suitable for eating”. “It’s making food out of the air.” says Stafford Sheehan, cofound er and chief technology officer of Air Company, “It sounds like magic, but when you see it actually operating, it’s much more simple.” Interstellar Lab in Florida had a different approach. Its system, called NUCLEUS, is a set of small capsules. Each is self-contained, with its own temperature, watering system. etc. That would allow different vegetables to be planted so that astronauts can easily grow their own food. in space. While the winning ideas from the Deep Space Food Challenge won’t immediately be used by astronauts, they show what might be possible on future missions. “You’ve got to start years in advance to make sure you have the capability in place when you need it,” says Ralph Fritsche, senior project manager for space crop production at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. 8. Why was the Deep Space Food Challenge launched? A. To find tasty foods for astronauts. B. To found a space food supply center. C. To develop a new source of space food. D. To attract astronauts to food exploration. 9. Which might be the requirement to become the winning company? A. Future space missions lasting three years. B. Entire diets for long-lasting space research. C. Concrete proposals involving a crew of four. D. Sustainable supply of nutritious space foods. 10. What do paragraphs 4 and 5 focus on? A. Process of creating space foods. B. Unique systems of storing foods. C. Examples of specific space foods. D. Prospects of these food companies. 11. What is the most suitable title for the text? A. Astronauts produce more space food B. Space explorers face a lack of nutrition C. Future space missions last even longer D. New types of space foods are on the way 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是未来太空食品的创新与发展，包括NASA启动的深空食品挑战赛、参赛公司的创新方案以及未来太空食品的可能性等。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“To solve the problem of feeding astronauts on long duration missions, the US space agency started the Deep Space Food Challenge in January 2022, asking companies to propose novel ways to develop sustainable foods for future missions.(为了解决长期任务中宇航员的食物问题，美国航天局于2022年1月启动了“Deep Space Food Challenge”，要求各公司提出新方法，为未来的任务开发可持续食品。)”可知，发起Deep Space Food Challenge是为了开发一种新的太空食物来源。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“All teams had to show systems that could operate for three years and feed a crew of four on a future space mission.

Chanda, a researcher in the University of Central Florida, and his team have created a way to imitate copy nature’s ability to reflect light and create beautifully vivid color without absorbing any heat like traditional pigments (色素) do. They focus on exploring structural color (结构色) and how people could use it to live cooler in a rapidly warming world. Structural colors are created not from traditional pigmentation but from the arrangement of colorless materials to reflect light in certain ways, like how rainbows are made after it rains. Think about the most beautiful colors you’ve ever seen — forest green, wine red or crystal blue, some of which, however, are nearly impossible to recreate artificially. That’s because these beautiful colors are not achieved through pigments — they’re all in the structure, like the green of peacocks’ feathers. Think about those cherries that redden your mouth after eating them or when your jeans turned green from sitting in wet grass. These are pigments. To create these colors, synthetic (合成的) materials like heavy metals are used to create vivid paints. Chanda stressed, “A deep blue needs cobalt; a deep red needs cadmium. They are toxic. We are contaminating our nature by using this kind of paint. So one of the major motivations for us is to create colors based on non-toxic materials.” Beyond the beautiful colors and safety that structure can provide, Chanda also found that unlike pigments, structural paint does not absorb heat but reflects light back. That’s why people are advised to wear lighter colors in hotter days and why many buildings are painted white. This means this eco-friendly paint could help communities keep cool in an increasingly warming climate. “Nature has followed the path to create harmony among our surroundings,” Chanda said. “We want to be colorful but our color production is not really supported or inspired by nature. I hope this paint could be the future to a healthier, cooler environment.” 12. Which of the following colors doesn’t belong to structural colors? A. The green of peacocks’ feathers. B. The orange of bright rainbows. C. The blue of butterfly wings. D. The purple of ripe grapes. 13. What does the underlined word “toxic” in the third paragraph probably mean? A. Neutral. B. Useless. C. Attractive. D. Harmful. 14. Which of the following best describes the advantages of the newly-created paint? A. Traditional, healthy and cooling. B. Colorless, healthy and artificial. C. Vivid, eco-friendly and cooling. D. Vivid, man-made and eco-friendly. 15. What’s the main idea of the text? A. The paint of structural color could help people live cooler and healthier. B. Traditional approaches of color production remain to be improved. C. Human beings should respect the harmony of our surroundings. D. Many attractive colors couldn’t be recreated artificially. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了研究者Chanda和他的团队运用结构色原理创造了一种生态友好的新型涂料。这种涂料无需人工合成色素，模仿自然界光反射的原理而形成鲜亮的色彩，同时具备不吸收热量的优点，可以让人们在日益变暖的环境下享受多彩，健康、清凉的生活。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Structural colors are created not from traditional pigmentation but from the arrangement of colorless materials to reflect light in certain ways, like how rainbows are made after it rains. Think about the most beautiful colors you’ve ever seen — forest green, wine red or crystal blue, some of which, however, are nearly impossible to recreate artificially.(结构色彩不是通过传统的色素沉着创造出来的，而是通过无色材料的排列以特定的方式反射光线，就像雨后彩虹的形成一样。想想你见过的最美丽的颜色——森林绿、酒红或水晶蓝，然而，其中一些几乎是不可能人工重现的)”以及第三段“Think about those cherries that redden your mouth after eating them or when your jeans turned green from sitting in wet grass. These are pigments.(想想那些吃了樱桃后你的嘴会变红，或者你的牛仔裤因为坐在潮湿的草地上而变绿。这些是颜料。)”可知，D选项的葡萄与文章中的樱桃及草相似，含有色素，是非结构色，故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“We are contaminating our nature by using this kind of paint. So one of the major motivations for us is to create colors based on non-toxic materials.(我们使用这种油漆正在污染我们的自然。因此，我们的主要动机之一是创造基于无毒材料的颜色)”可知，使用此类涂料会污染自然环境，是有害的，划线单词的含义是“有害的”。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Beyond the beautiful colors and safety that structure can provide, Chanda also found that unlike pigments, structural paint does not absorb heat but reflects light back.(除了结构所能提供的美丽色彩和安全性之外，Chanda还发现，与颜料不同，结构涂料不吸收热量，而是将光反射回去)”和“This means this eco-friendly paint could help communities keep cool in an increasingly warming climate.(这意味着这种环保涂料可以帮助社区在日益变暖的气候中保持凉爽)”可知，新研发的这种涂料的优势在于它模仿自然界的结构色，无需吸收热量就能反射光线创造出鲜明的颜色，而且是基于非毒性材料制成的。因此，选项C“Vivid, eco-friendly and cooling.(鲜艳、环保且具有降温效果)”最能全面概括这种新涂料的优点。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中的“A team of researchers in Florida may have just created the world’s coolest paint ever.(佛罗里达州的一组研究人员可能刚刚创造了世界上最酷的油漆)”和末段的“I hope this paint could be the future to a healthier, cooler environment.(我希望这种涂料能成为未来更健康、更凉爽的环境)”可知，研究者Chanda和他的团队运用结构色原理创造了一种生态友好的新型涂料，使用结构色能帮助人们享受更凉爽和健康的生活，因此主旨是A选项“The paint of structural color could help people live cooler and healthier.(结构色涂料可以帮助人们生活得更凉爽、更健康。)”。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You’re standing in line at the grocery store or waiting for an elevator.

Only 11% of people's smartphone checks were in response to a notification. For the rest of the time, they checked their phones totally unplanned, often without thinking through why they were doing it. We' re so used to constant stimulation that we feel uncomfortable when we’re not doing anything, even for just a few seconds. Our brains are hardwired to seek out rewards like knowledge, entertainment, and social connection. All of those things were much harder to find before we had tiny computers at our fingertips. Now we do. Our phones are basically all-you-can-eat buffets for our brains, endlessly and easily serving up the things they want. ____17____ A quick phone check probably isn't doing your brain any real harm. ____18____ Over time, constant scrolling could have a negative effect on your job performance, relationships, sleep, and possibly even physical safety, if you’re doing things like checking your phone while you walk or drive. ____19____ When you give in to your urges and check your phone, then feel guilty about it, the feeling of failure adds shame to injury. If you want to break the habit of constant checking, you’ll have to work at it. Building awareness is a good way. ____20____ For example, next time you catch yourself scrolling through short videos without even absorbing the content, think about whether you really want to be on your phone, or you are just putting off a less-fun task. A. Checking your phone is often automatic. B. There's also a mental-health element to consider. C. Of course our minds can't help but feed themselves. D. Start going without your phone for set periods of time. E. The urge to check your phone is often related to stress relief. F. Take a moment to ask yourself what is driving your behavior. G.

Hinton, 76, often referred to as “the godfather of AI”, made headlines last year ___37___ he quit Google and warned about the dangers of machines outsmarting humans. The scientists’ pioneering work demonstrated ___38___ computer programs that draw on neural networks and statistics could form the basis for an entire field, which paved the way for swift and accurate language translation, facial ___39___ (recognize) systems, and the generative AI. Hopfield, 91, ___40___ (honour) for building “an associative memory that can store and reconstruct images and other types of patterns in data”, while Hinton invented a method that can “independently discover properties in data”, ___41___ important feature of the large artificial neural networks in use ___42___ present. Having technology ___43___ (smart) than humans would be “wonderful in many respects”, Hinton said, leading to ___44___ (consider) improvements in healthcare, better digital assistants, and productivity. “But we also have to worry about a number of possible bad ____45____ (consequence), particularly the threat of these things getting out of control,” he added. 【答案】36. fed 37. when 38. that 39. recognition 40. was honoured 41. an 42. at 43. smarter 44. considerable 45. consequences 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道，文章主要介绍两位为现代人工智能奠定基础的研究人员John Hopfield和Geoffrey Hinton被授予2024年诺贝尔物理学奖。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：受大脑运作的启发，John Hopfield教授和Geoffrey Hinton建立了人工神经网络，可以像人脑一样存储和检索记忆，并从输入的信息中学习。句中谓语是built，空格处用非谓语动词，information和feed之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此用过去分词表被动，作后置定语，故填fed。 【37题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：76岁Hinton常被称为“人工智能教父”，去年他因离开谷歌并警告机器可能超越人类的危险而上了头条新闻。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句，从句中不缺主语或宾语，先行词last year是时间，因此用关系副词when引导定语从句，故填when。 【38题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：科学家们的开创性工作表明，利用神经网络和统计数据的计算机程序可以构成整个领域的基础，为快速准确的语言翻译、面部识别系统和生成式人工智能铺平了道路。空格处引导的是宾语从句，从句中不缺成分，且句子意思完整，用that引导宾语从句，故填that。 【39题详解】 考查名词。句意：科学家们的开创性工作表明，利用神经网络和统计数据的计算机程序可以构成整个领域的基础，为快速准确的语言翻译、面部识别系统和生成式人工智能铺平了道路。facial recognition system是固定用法，意为“面部识别系统”，故填recognition。 【40题详解】 考查时态，被动语态和主谓一致。句意：91岁的Hopfield因建立了“一种可以存储和重建数据中图像和其他类型模式的联想记忆”而获奖，而Hinton则发明了一种可以“独立发现数据属性”的方法，这是目前使用的大型人工神经网络的一个重要特征。他是被授予奖，且句子描述过去的事情，因此空格处用一般过去时的被动语态，主语Hopfield是单数，因此空格处是was honoured。故填was honoured。 【41题详解】 考查冠词。句意：91岁的Hopfield因建立了“一种可以存储和重建数据中图像和其他类型模式的联想记忆”而获奖，而Hinton则发明了一种可以“独立发现数据属性”的方法，这是目前使用的大型人工神经网络的一个重要特征。feature是可数名词的单数，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，important是元音音素开头，因此不定冠词用an，故填an。 【42题详解】 考查介词。句意：91岁的Hopfield因建立了“一种可以存储和重建数据中图像和其他类型模式的联想记忆”而获奖，而Hinton则发明了一种可以“独立发现数据属性”的方法，这是目前使用的大型人工神经网络的一个重要特征。at present是固定短语，意为“现在”，因此空格处是介词at，故填at。 【43题详解】 考查比较级。句意：Hinton说，拥有比人类更聪明的技术“在很多方面都很棒”，这将导致医疗保健、更好的数字助理和生产力的显著改善。由than可知，空格处用比较级smarter，故填smarter。 【44题详解】 考查形容词。句意：Hinton说，拥有比人类更聪明的技术“在很多方面都很棒”，这将导致医疗保健、更好的数字助理和生产力的显著改善。空格处用形容词作定语，修饰名词improvements，consider的形容词是considerable，意为“相当大的”。故填considerable。 【45题详解】 考查名词的复数。句意：他说：“但是我们也必须担心一些可能的不良后果，特别是这些事情失去控制的威胁。”consequence是可数名词，不止一个，因此空格处用复数，故填consequences。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 应用文写作（满分15分） 46. 你将参加英语课上的“一分钟演讲”活动。请你针对部分同学在校园内用手机拍摄短视频的现象写一篇演讲稿，内容包括： (1) 陈述看法； (2) 提出建议。 注意： (1) 写作词数应为80左右； (2) 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 My Views on Filming Short Videos on Campus ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】My Views on Filming Short Videos on Campus Dear classmates, Recently, some of us have been filming short videos on campus.

Though born in a family that struggled to make ends meet, Tim was a bright and lively boy, having a strong passion for music. He held a dream that he could perform music for many people at his own concert in the future. One day, word reached Tim about a local music competition, the prize of which was a full scholarship to a highly regarded music academy. This was an opportunity that seemed like a golden ticket to his dream, so he made the decision to participate. After hurrying to sign up for the competition, he made a plan to practice, day in and day out, using an old guitar that had been passed down from his grandfather. When the day of the competition finally arrived, Tim felt a mixture of nervousness and excitement. He stepped onto the stage and poured all his heart, soul, and love into the music. He felt rather satisfied with his performance. During the following days, he waited for the result anxiously. However, he didn’t win. He completely broke down, feeling all his painstaking efforts were for nothing. A deep sense of discouragement settled over him. His parents knew that his skills are not good enough but didn’t know how to comfort him. Tim was always sitting, playing his old guitar in the park, with nobody to talk with. A few weeks later, a man named Mr. Thompson moved into the neighborhood. Little did anyone know that Mr. Thompson was a guitar master who once shared the spotlight on stages with well-known bands but now sought the peace of a quiet life. One day, he happened to spot Tim sitting alone, playing the guitar with a disappointed expression. He approached Tim and started a conversation. Tim opened up to him about his experience in the competition. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Mr. Thompson listened attentively and then took over the guitar. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two years later, Tim returned to his hometown for his own concert. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Mr. Thompson listened attentively and then took over the guitar. He played the song that Tim performed in the competition. Such wonderful music left Tim shocked. Before Tim could say a word, Mr. Thompson proposed to give him free music lessons. Tim agreed happily. Over the following months, with Mr. Thompson’s encouragement and guidance, Tim made rapid progress. With skills and confidence improving, Tim recorded his music and shared it online. People were drawn to his music, and he won lots of applause. A music producer was deeply impressed by Tim’s talent and decided to cooperate with him. So Tim left his hometown, walking closer to his dream. Two years later, Tim returned to his hometown for his own concert. He went to Mr. Thompson’s house and knocked at his door excitedly, hoping to invite him to the concert. However, Tim got no response. He then was told that Mr. Thompson had moved for a long time. At the live concert, Tim performed a song specially for Mr. Thompson. When the last note was played, he stood up straight and took a bow, showing his sincere gratitude to his teacher. Nobody noticed an old man, in the last row, clapping hands for the excellent player. And that’s Mr. Thompson, smiling with tears of joy shining in his eyes. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个名叫Tim的小男孩，家里不怎么富裕，但他对音乐有很大的热情，希望有一天能在自己的音乐会上表演音乐。一次当地举行一场音乐比赛，Tim决定参加并且日复一日的练习,但是Tim并没有赢得比赛，他很崩溃很沮丧。几周后， Thompson，一个吉他大师搬到Tim社区，偶然遇到Tim并且攀谈起来，Tim向Thompson讲述比赛的经过。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Thompson先生聚精会神地听着，然后接过吉他。”可知，第一段可描写Tim受到Thompson的指导，离自己的音乐梦想更进一步的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“两年后，Tim回到家乡开了自己的演唱会。”可知，第二段可描写Tim开演唱会的过程。 2.续写线索：Thompson先生指导——Tim进步很大——和音乐人合作——离开家乡——回家乡开演唱会——邀请Thompson先生却被告知已搬走——举行演唱会——表达感谢——Thompson先生看到Tim的成功 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.演出：perform/put on a show ②.提议：propose/suggest ③.被……所吸引：be drawn to/be attracted to 情绪类 ①.感谢：showing his appreciation/show his gratitude/be grateful ②.高兴地：happily/merrily 【点睛】 [高分句型1].
