A 【解析】 【原文】With the rapid growth in China’s cities, some architecture companies are trying to help the environment keep up. Some are even trying to find more ways to bring the urban population into contact with nature. MAD Architects is one of those companies that are trying to take “green” designs to a new level. The company believes in the importance of making buildings that can produce their own power and food. They believe the buildings should also recycle all of their waste. The new designs make people living and working in these buildings think about being outside. They feel like they’re reconnecting with the natural world, instead of being far apart from it. The company believes this way of thinking is very important for the future of urban living. One of MAD’s newest projects is called the Urban Forest, designed for the city of Chongqing. There will be offices, open spaces, balconies with trees, and many plants throughout. The project is inspired by the mountainous Chinese landscape and the traditional villages built on the hillsides. It will be an urban engineering wonder! Architects who are interested in working on the Urban Forest should apply at the MAD offices in Beijing, New York, or Rome. 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分 50 分） 第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳答案。 A Emerald Coast Science Center Field Trips Bring your group or class to explore our hands-on Science Center now which provides wonderful learning opportunities for students all along the Emerald Coast!

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是应用文。文章介绍了翡翠海岸科学中心针对翡翠海岸的学生的实地考察活动，包括其课程和价格信息等。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Lessons for all ages 部分“Lessons can be changed to suit the needs of most grade levels and include knowledge of different areas. (课程可以根据大多数年级的需要进行更改，并包括不同领域的知识。)”可知，该科学中心的实地考察活动提供定制课程。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Pricing information部分“$12 per student;1 free guardian every 10 students, additional guardians $6 each; teachers are always free. (每位学生12美元；每10名学生有1名免费监护人，额外监护人每人6美元；老师们总是免费的。)”和“Minimum fee of $120 per field trip. (每次实地考察的最低费用为120美元。)”可知，一名学生收费12 美元，每10名学生可以有1位监护人不收费，老师都不收费，但是一次实地考察活动最低费用是120美元。结合这些信息可知，9名学生和1位监护人原本费用应是114美元（学生人数不到10，监护人需收费，老师不收费），但是没有达到最低收费标准，所以按最低收费120美元算。故选C。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Bring your group or class to explore our hands-on Science Center now which provides wonderful learning opportunities for students all along the Emerald Coast!

(有关我们目前提供的实地考察课程类型的列表，请单击此处下载我们的教育计划指南。)”可知，本文是一则在线广告。故选B。 B Ben Francis didn’t become wealthy through property left by his family. Instead, the CEO and cofounder of Gymshark used his earnings from pizza delivery to buy a sewing machine and start his fitness clothing company at 19. Eleven years later, his efforts literally paid off. Francis, who has a reported net worth of $1.3 billion, joined Forbes’ World’s Billionaires list. He’s in rare company: People on the list are65 years old on average. Originally, Francis and co-founder Lewis Morgan launched Gymshark as a website selling fitness supplements (补剂). But after getting fed up with his ill-fitting clothes, Francis suggested modifying the company. He and Morgan bought a sewing machine, and his mom sent him videos to teach him how to sew. The pair brought Gymshark to a bodybuilding exhibition in 2013, but didn’t have any money to advertise. On a whim (心血来潮), they decided to give popular fitness figures on social media platforms free products. Francis said, “It would be so cool if they could come to be with Gymshark at this event. But I didn’t really think that much about this idea.” Some of those influences went on to wear the clothes on their channels, making Gymshark’s sales jump to $45,000 per day, up from just $450. In 2017, Francis quit the CEO role. He spent the next years supporting leadership roles within Gymshark to learn more about the ins and outs of the business, before returning as the CEO in 2021. That year, the company was valued at $1.45 billion. Still, the company’s billion-dollar valuation is a small percentage of the market value of some strong competitors. “I really think Gymshark can be the UK’s answer to those brands,” Francis said. “But it doesn’t mean that the UK is where we start and end. We also want to be a truly global brand.” 24. What makes Francis special on Forbes’ World’s Billionaires list? A. His age. B. His wealth. C. His personal experience. D. His business idea. 25. What does the underlined word “modifying” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Putting a stop to. B. Keeping an eye on. C. Making a change to. D. Giving an account of. 26. Why did Francis and Morgan contact popular fitness influences? A. To follow in the competitors’ footsteps. B. To win support for their leadership roles. C. To popularize their products in a cheap way. D. To gain admission to the bodybuilding exhibit. 27. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Francis: From a Pizza Boy to a Billionaire B. Gymshark: From a Website to a Global Brand C. Gymshark: A World Leader in Fitness Clothing D. Francis: An Inspiration to Business Competitors 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了Gym shark CEO—Ben Francis创立Gymshark 并将企业发展壮大的过程。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Instead, the CEO and cofounder of Gymshark used his earnings from pizza delivery to buy a sewing machine and start his fitness clothing company at 19. Eleven years later, his efforts literally paid off. Francis, who has a reported net worth of $1.3 billion, joined Forbes’ World’s Billionaires list. He’s in rare company: People on the list are65 years old on average.(相反，这位Gymshark的首席执行官兼联合创始人用披萨外卖的收入买了一台缝纫机，并在19岁时创办了自己的健身服装公司。11年后，他的努力得到了回报。据报道，弗朗西斯的净资产为13亿美元，他加入了《福布斯》全球亿万富翁排行榜。他是罕见的公司：名单上的人平均年龄为65岁。)”可知，福布斯亿万富翁的平均年龄是65岁，Francis只有30岁。因此，Ben Francis在《福布斯》亿万富豪榜上的特殊之处是他的年龄。故选A项。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“Originally, Francis and co-founder Lewis Morgan launched Gymshark as a website selling fitness supplements (补剂).(最初，弗朗西斯和联合创始人刘易斯·摩根(Lewis Morgan)创办了一家销售健身补充剂的网站Gymshark。)”以及后文“He and Morgan bought a sewing machine, and his mom sent him videos to teach him how to sew.(他和摩根买了一台缝纫机，他妈妈给他发了视频教他如何缝纫。)”可知，刚开始Gymshark卖的是健身补充剂，后面改为卖衣服，所以应是弗朗西斯建议修改公司，推知modifying是“改变”之意，和C项意思相近。故选C项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The pair brought Gymshark to a bodybuilding exhibition in 2013, but didn’t have any money to advertise. On a whim (心血来潮), they decided to give popular fitness figures on social media platforms free products. Francis said, “It would be so cool if they could come to be with Gymshark at this event. But I didn’t really think that much about this idea.” Some of those influences went on to wear the clothes on their channels, making Gymshark’s sales jump to $45,000 per day, up from just $450.(2013年，两人带着Gymshark参加了一个健美展览，但没有钱做广告。他们一时兴起，决定向社交媒体平台上的热门健身人物提供免费产品。弗朗西斯说：“如果他们能来参加这个活动，那就太酷了。但我并没有想太多这个想法。”其中一些有影响力的人继续在他们的渠道上穿这些衣服，使Gymshark的日销售额从450美元跃升至4.5万美元。)”可知，可知，弗朗西斯和摩根向受欢迎的健身网红提供流行的健身免费产品是为了以廉价的方式推广他们的产品。故选C项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Ben Francis didn’t become wealthy through property left by his family. Instead, the CEO and cofounder of Gymshark used his earnings from pizza delivery to buy a sewing machine and start his fitness clothing company at 19. Eleven years later, his efforts literally paid off. Francis, who has a reported net worth of $1.3 billion, joined Forbes’ World’s Billionaires list. He’s in rare company: People on the list are65 years old on average.(本·弗朗西斯并不是通过家人留下的财产变得富有的。相反，这位Gymshark的首席执行官兼联合创始人用披萨外卖的收入买了一台缝纫机，并在19岁时创办了自己的健身服装公司。11年后，他的努力得到了回报。据报道，弗朗西斯的净资产为13亿美元，他加入了《福布斯》全球亿万富翁排行榜。他是罕见的公司：名单上的人平均年龄为65岁。)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要介绍了Ben Francis从必胜客外卖小哥到亿万富翁、打造运动网红品牌Gym shark的历程，所以A项“Francis: From a Pizza Boy to a Billionaire(弗朗西斯：从披萨男孩到亿万富翁。)”是本文最好的标题。故选A项。 C Creating smells in virtual reality (VR) is a problem that has prevented consumer VR devices from offering a full sensory experience in most settings. Past efforts to create smells in VR had to depend on multiple wires, messy liquids, and heavy equipment that don’t lend themselves to home use. To tackle the problem, Dr. Yu Xinge at the City University of Hong Kong and Li Yuhang of Beihang University in Beijing developed two wearable interfaces (接口). One can be attached to the skin between the nose and the mouth; the other can be worn on the face. Both types can generate a smell in as little as 1.44 seconds. “The higher the heat, the stronger the smell,” Yu says. That means that interfaces can get very hot — up to 60°C, which is dangerous for human skin. But their interfaces are safe because of an “open” design, which is an exit for hot air, along with a piece of chemical substance that forms a barrier between the skin and the actual device. Artists have long attempted to bring smells into entertainment. In 1960, Smell-O-Vision made its first and only appearance with the film Scent of Mystery, which released pleasant smells during key plot points through air conditioning. But the effort bombed: viewers said during screenings, smells were either delayed or too weak to notice. Smell-O-Vision never took root in Hollywood. Yu used 30 different smells chosen for their distinctive, recognizable characteristics, like the smell of green tea. But many real-life smells are less memorable and might not be as recognizable. Additionally, the mini smell generators have yet to be programmed to work smoothly with existing VR headsets. “Smell-equipped VR could be helpful medically or industrially, but it’s hard to say how this would work in the commercial field,” Jas Brooks, a PhD student at the University of Chicago, says. Whether smell-equipped VR will do better than smell-equipped films remains to be seen. But perhaps one day users will be able to stop, touch and smell virtual roses. 28. How are Yu and Li’s devices different from the previous ones? A. They are much safer. B. They are more efficient. C. They are more portable. D. They are more affordable. 29. Why is the open design used? A. To let the heat escape. B. To help users breathe easily. C. To make the device unique. D. To encourage the spread of smells. 30. What can be inferred about Smell-O-Vision? A. It was the first of its kind. B. It was spoken poorly of. C. It once appeared in a film. D. It originated in Hollywood. 31. What does Paragraph 4 mainly discuss about the interfaces? A. Their major functions. B. Their working principles. C. Their potential applications. D. Their possible weaknesses. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了香港城市大学的于新格博士和北京北京航空航天大学的李宇航开发了两款可穿戴式接口，可以在虚拟现实中创造气味，并针对这一话题展开了讨论。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Past efforts to create smells in VR had to depend on multiple wires, messy liquids, and heavy equipment that don’t lend themselves to home use.(过去在虚拟现实中创造气味的努力不得不依赖于多条电线、杂乱的液体和笨重的设备，这些都不适合家庭使用。)”和第二段“To tackle the problem, Dr. Yu Xinge at the City University of Hong Kong and Li Yuhang of Beihang University in Beijing developed two wearable interfaces.(为了解决这个问题，香港城市大学的于新格博士和北京北京航空航天大学的李宇航开发了两款可穿戴接口。)”可知，以前的设备不适合家庭使用，而于和李开发的设备是可穿戴的，所以更便携。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“But their interfaces are safe because of an “open” design, which is an exit for hot air.(但他们的接口是安全的，因为采用了“开放式”设计，这是热空气的出口。)”可知，使用开放式设计是为了让热量散发出去。故选A。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“But the effort bombed: viewers said during screenings, smells were either delayed or too weak to notice. Smell-O-Vision never took root in Hollywood.(但这一努力以失败告终：观众说，在放映过程中，气味要么延迟，要么太弱，以至于无法察觉。Smell-O-Vision从未在好莱坞扎根)”可知，Smell-O-Vision受到了差评。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“But many real-life smells are less memorable and might not be as recognizable.(但许多现实生活中的气味并不那么令人难忘，可能也不那么容易辨认)”可知，本段主要讨论了接口可能无法识别一些不太令人难忘的气味这一弱点。故选D。 D The mission is simple. Arrive on foreign soil, fit in and wait. Then, when the time is right, emerge from the shadows and take over. This procedure, familiar from spy fiction as the preserve of sleeper agents, is also the strategy of certain invasive plant species. Invasive species that stay put, known as sleeper species, are not hard-wired to do so. Their natural tendency to expand is, instead, held back by some external factor. With the climate rapidly changing, Bethany Bradley at the University of Massachusetts wondered whether alterations in temperature and rainfall had the potential to activate some sleeper species. As she reports in a paper in Biological Inuvasions, the answer is a definitive yes. Dr Bradley and her team came to their conclusions by studying 1,795 plant species in north-eastern America identifiable as foreign but not yet locally listed as invasive. Of these, 169 were unquestionably demonstrating invasive behaviour in other parts of the world, and causing damage to their environment. That suggested they had the capacity to cause similar damage in America too. To determine whether the conditions coming to the region would activate any of the set 169, the researchers first identified the conditions under which these species would thrive (旺盛). A number of the plants on their list were held back by the cold winters that are less and less common in the region. They also found that some other species required more rainfall than is typical. According to the team’s findings, climate change is on track to awaken 18 sleeper species that could cause serious environmental and economic problems. Dr Bradley estimates that they will start to make themselves felt between 2040 and 2060 if something is not done soon. The most practical course of action, in her view, is to seek these sleeper species out before they are able to spread. Removing them today may be expensive, but it will be far cheaper than trying to weed them out tomorrow. 32. What strategy do sleeper species employ? A. Rapidly expanding in new environments. B. Patiently waiting for human intervention. C. Remaining inactive until conditions are favorable. D. Avoiding detection by staying in shadowy-corners. 33. What does the underlined word “hard-wired” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Slowly adapted. B. Solidly supported. C. Externally influenced. D. Naturally programmed. 34. What did researchers aim to uncover by focusing on the 169 species? A. The potential risks they could pose in the future. B. Their invasive behavior in other parts of the world. C. The reasons why they failed to survive in America. D. Possible ways to make them less common in America. 35. What’s Dr Bradley’s suggestion for dealing with sleeper species? A. Let nature take its course. B. Prevention is better than cure. C. Cutting budgets is a top priority. D. Delay action until it’s necessary. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了气候变化如何激活沉睡的入侵植物物种，预示这些物种可能对环境和经济产生严重影响，并建议提前采取措施。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段内容以及“Arrive on foreign soil, fit in and wait. Then, when the time is right, emerge from the shadows and take over. This procedure, familiar from spy fiction as the preserve of sleeper agents, is also the strategy of certain invasive plant species.”（到达外国的土地，适应和等待。然后，当时机成熟时，从阴影中走出来，接管一切。这一过程在间谍小说中很常见，就像潜伏特工的保护一样，也是某些入侵植物物种的策略。）可知, sleeper species的策略是在等待适宜的条件才活跃起来。因此选C。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Their natural tendency to expand is, instead, held back by some external factor.”（相反，它们扩张的自然趋势被一些外部因素所抑制。）可知，这些物种本能地倾向于扩展，虽然这种倾向被外部因素所抑制，hard-wired 在这里指的是“与生俱来的，固有的”。故选D项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Of these,169 were unquestionably demonstrating invasive behaviour in other parts of the world, and causing damage to their environment. That suggested they had the capacity to cause similar damage in America too.”（其中，169只无疑在世界其他地区表现出入侵行为，并对其环境造成破坏。这表明他们也有能力在美国造成类似的破坏。）可知，研究人员通过关注这169这个物种来揭示它们在未来可能带来的风险，即它们在美国也可能造成类似的环境和经济问题。故选A项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。从最后一段“The most practical course of action,in her view,is to seek these sleeper species out before they are able to spread.”（在她看来，最实际的做法是在这些潜伏物种传播之前将其消灭。）可知，Dr Bradley建议在这些物种有机会扩散之前就将其发现并清除，说明“预防胜于治疗”是应对睡眠物种的最佳策略。故选B项。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s happened to all of us: a song comes on the radio, and we are immediately transported back to a time in our past. ____36____ There are a few things that connect tunes with our memories. Music is often a necessary element of many important life events, and it is also very effective in arresting our attention. ____37____ Besides, the emotional nature of music helps make it particularly memorable. We often become familiar with a piece of music because we hear it as background music. The more familiar a piece of music is, the more effective it is in bringing back memories. ____38____ The reason is that we are far more likely to hear a song over and over again than to watch a film or a TV programme in the same way. Tiffany Jenkins, writing for a culture column, has a different opinion: ____39____ She tells us how throughout history oral cultures have passed important knowledge from generation to generation through songs because of this characteristic. The rhythm (韵律) and rhyme in lines of songs all serve as memory aids. ____40____ This fact corresponds with what many experts call the “reminiscence bump (怀旧性记忆)”, where older adults (over forty) have increased recollection of events that occurred during their adolescence and early adulthood. It’s clear that our memories and music are closely linked — to the point that music is being used to help Alzheimer’s disease sufferers access memories that they thought they had lost. A. Familiarity is important. B. Music itself is easy to remember. C. But what makes music so effective in doing this? D. Our musical preference usually forms during our teens. E. This applies to music more than other cultural products. F. Pop music especially can be connected with an important memory. G. Music and these life events are likely to be linked together in our memories. 【答案】36. C 37. G 38. E 39. B 40. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章对音乐为什么总是会唤起人们的某些回忆进行了解释。 【36题详解】 根据前文“It’s happened to all of us: a song comes on the radio, and we are immediately transported back to a time in our past.(我们每个人都有过这样的经历：收音机里响起一首歌，我们立刻被传送回过去的某个时间。)”和后文“There are a few things that connect tunes with our memories.(有一些东西可以将音乐与我们的记忆联系起来。)”可知，此处是指音乐是如何与我们的回忆联系在一起的，所以选项C“但是什么让音乐在这方面如此有效呢？”切合文意。故选C。 【37题详解】 根据前文“Music is often a necessary element of many important life events, and it is also very effective in arresting our attention.(音乐往往是许多重要生活事件的必要元素，它也非常有效地吸引我们的注意力。)”可知，此处是指因此音乐和生活事件有可能在我们的记忆里产生联系，所以选项G“音乐和这些生活事件很可能在我们的记忆中联系在一起。”切合文意。故选G。 【38题详解】 根据后文“The reason is that we are far more likely to hear a song over and over again than to watch a film or a TV programme in the same way.(原因是我们更有可能一遍又一遍地听一首歌，而不是用同样的方式看电影或电视节目。)”可知，此处是指比起电影或电视节目等音乐更有可能唤起回忆，所以选项E“比起其他文化产品，这更适用于音乐。”切合文意。故选E。 【39题详解】 根据后文“She tells us how throughout history oral cultures have passed important knowledge from generation to generation through songs because of this characteristic. The rhythm (韵律) and rhyme in lines of songs all serve as memory aids.(她告诉我们，由于这一特点，在整个历史中，口头文化是如何通过歌曲将重要的知识代代相传的。歌词的节奏和韵律都可以帮助记忆。)”可知，此处是指音乐容易记忆，所以选项B“音乐本身很容易记住。”切合文意。故选B。 【40题详解】 根据后文“This fact corresponds with what many experts call the “reminiscence bump (怀旧性记忆)”, where older adults (over forty) have increased recollection of events that occurred during their adolescence and early adulthood.(这一事实与许多专家所说的“怀旧性记忆”相吻合，即老年人（40岁以上）对青春期和成年早期发生的事件的回忆增加。)”可知，此处是指我们的音乐喜好通常形成于青少年时期，所以选项D“我们的音乐偏好通常在青少年时期形成。”切合文意。故选D。 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 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I was then in my early twenties.

Practices 62. is conducted 63. completely 64. has seen 65. and 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中医传统疗法之一——针灸。 【56题详解】 考查介词。句意：针灸作为一种具有深厚文化意义的古老医学，几千年来一直是无数患者的治疗方法。根据空后的“deep cultural significance”可知，这里是“of＋抽象名词”结构，相当于该名词同词根的形容词。of significance=significant，表示“有重大意义的”。故填of。 【57题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在现代医学出现之前，中国古人使用石器来缓解疼痛。use sth. to do sth.意为“用某物做某事”。故填to ease。 【58题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：渐渐地，这一实践转变为一个全面而有影响力的医疗体系，塑造了针灸的根基。该句中已有谓语动词changed，因此空处在句中为非谓语动词。shape与其逻辑主语this practice之间为主谓关系，应用现在分词，作状语。故填shaping。 【59题详解】 考查形容词。句意：针灸是一种有效的治疗方法，旨在促进身体的自我调节功能。空处修饰空后的名词treatment，应用形容词作定语，effective意为“有效的”。故填effective。 【60题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：它的健康友好原则符合传统中医的哲学概念，中医的哲学概念强调身体功能的平衡、整体健康等。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，指代先行词the philosophical concepts of traditional Chinese medicine，且在从句中作定语，应用whose。故填whose。 【61题详解】 考查名词的数。句意：传统中医的实践形式各不相同。空处作主语，应用名词。谓语动词vary为复数形式，由此可知，此处名词要用复数形式。空处位于句首，所填单词的首字母要大写。故填Practices。 【62题详解】 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：针刺是最常见和最著名的方法之一，它是将针插入身体上引导气的特定点，以疏通能量的流动，恢复我们身体的阴阳平衡，并完全唤醒其与生俱来的恢复潜力。分析句子结构，空处作谓语。该句描述的是客观情况，应用一般现在时。conduct与句子主语Needle insertion之间为被动关系，应用被动语态；主语为不可数名词，谓语应用单数。故填is conducted。 【63题详解】 考查副词。句意同上。空处应用副词，修饰动词awaken。completely意为“完全地”。故填completely。 【64题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：多年来，针灸在科学研究和现代医学方面取得了显著进步。根据时间状语“Over the years”可知，本句应用现在完成时。主语为单数，谓语应用单数形式。故填has seen。 【65题详解】 考查连词。句意：它现在是某些疾病的主流选择，也是各种其他疾病的补充治疗。根据句意并分析句子结构，“mainstream option for certain diseases”和“complementary(补充的) treatment”之间是并列关系，共用一个不定冠词a，作表语，所以应用and连接。故填and。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分 40 分） 第一节（满分 15 分） 66. 随着人工智能的普及，越来越多的同学使用人工智能完成作业，由此产生了一些不良影响。假定你是校学生会主席李华，请代表学生会写一封英文倡议书，呼吁同学们合理使用人工智能，内容包括： 1.介绍现状； 2.给出建议； 3.发出倡议。 注意：1.写作词数应为80左右；2.请按如下格式作答。 参考词汇：人工智能 artificial intelligence (AI) Dear fellow students, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear fellow students, Recently, we have noticed that an increasing number of students are relying too much on AI tools to complete their assignments, which has led to some negative consequences, such as a decline in academic integrity and critical thinking. To address the issues, we should use AI as a supplementary tool to enhance learning rather than a replacement for our own efforts, which may violate academic integrity principles fundamental to our education and result in the lack of originality and creativity. Additionally, it is of great significance for us to critically evaluate the information generated by AI rather than accept it blindly. Otherwise, we might be deprived of the ability to think critically. Let’s make a conscious effort to use artificial intelligence in a reasonable and responsible manner. By doing so, we can make the most of AI technology while maintaining our academic integrity and personal growth. Your effort counts!

Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right. The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing.” Grandma nodded. I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market. Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer. However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent(有能力的)computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.” I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts(零件)for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century. 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。 Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I could be someone who was really competent. “I can definitely help with that! Where are the parts?” Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts. Rolling up my sleeves, I carefully connected everything. It was a piece of cake to me. “Done!” I announced confidently. After a few adjustments, the internet was up and running. Now it was time to sell the roses. I decided to start from my social media platform. I quickly uploaded photos, added descriptions, and set prices. Before long, notifications started showing up — people were noticing. My abilities made a difference!(96词) Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. “This is amazing, Jude!” Grandma cheered with joy as she began bustling about, packing flowers. Mr. Jackson chuckled warmly as he handed me another bunch to label. The energy was electric — everyone was on their feet, moving quickly to keep up with the growing orders. The farm felt alive, and so did I. To our surprise, the roses sold out in just half a day. “You’ve brought the farm into the twenty-first century, Jude,” Grandma hugged me tightly. I realized that being competent wasn’t about avoiding mistakes. It was about facing them head-on and making the most of my strengths.(100词) 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了暑假爸爸带Jude去奶奶的农场，但Jude去年在农场时因忘记锁门，导致山羊进了奶奶邻居Jackson先生的花田，最后毁了所有的玫瑰花，现在Jackson回到农场感到紧张，Jude在Jackson先生来找奶奶帮忙时试图躲避，Jackson却很高兴见到他并说去年只是一次意外，奶奶询问擅长电脑的Jude是否能帮忙在网上卖玫瑰花。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“也许我可以成为一个真正有能力的人。”可知，第一段可描写Jude组装电脑并开始在网上卖玫瑰花。 ②由第二段首句内容“几个小时内，订购玫瑰的订单如潮水般涌来。”可知，第二段可描写玫瑰花很快被卖完以及Jude的感悟。 2.续写线索：组装电脑——开始在网上售卖——接到大量订单——大家为订单忙碌——玫瑰花售空——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①宣布：announce/declare ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③意识到：realize/be aware 情绪类 ①喜悦：joy/delight/happiness ②惊讶：surprise/astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1] Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts.（由关系副词where引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] Mr. Jackson chuckled warmly as he handed me another bunch to label.（由从属连词as引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 余姚中学 2024 学年第二学期质量检测高一英语学科试卷 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节（共 5 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 7.5 分） 听下面 5 段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 How is the weather in the mountains?

Instead the CEO and cofounder of Gymshark used his earnings from pizza delivery to buy a sewing machine and start his fitness clothing company at 19. Eleven years later, his efforts literally paid off. Francis, who has a reported net worth of $1.3 billion, joined Forbes’ World’s Billionaires list. He’s in rare company: People on the list are65 years old on average. Originally, Francis and co-founder Lewis Morgan launched Gymshark as a website selling fitness supplements (补剂). But after getting fed up with his ill-fitting clothes, Francis suggested modifying the company. He and Morgan bought a sewing machine, and his mom sent him videos to teach him how to sew. The pair brought Gymshark to a bodybuilding exhibition in 2013, but didn’t have any money to advertise. On a whim (心血来潮), they decided to give popular fitness figures on social media platforms free products. Francis said, “It would be so cool if they could come to be with Gymshark at this event. But I didn’t really think that much about this idea.” Some of those influences went on to wear the clothes on their channels, making Gymshark’s sales jump to $45,000 per day, up from just $450. In 2017, Francis quit the CEO role. He spent the next years supporting leadership roles within Gymshark to learn more about the ins and outs of the business, before returning as the CEO in 2021. That year, the company was valued at $1.45 billion. Still, the company’s billion-dollar valuation is a small percentage of the market value of some strong competitors. “I really think Gymshark can be the UK’s answer to those brands,” Francis said. “But it doesn’t mean that the UK is where we start and end. We also want to be a truly global brand.” 24. What makes Francis special on Forbes’ World’s Billionaires list? A. His age. B. His wealth. C. His personal experience. D. His business idea. 25. What does the underlined word “modifying” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Putting a stop to. B. Keeping an eye on. C. Making a change to. D. Giving an account of. 26. Why did Francis and Morgan contact popular fitness influences? A. To follow in the competitors’ footsteps. B. To win support for their leadership roles. C. To popularize their products in a cheap way. D. To gain admission to the bodybuilding exhibit. 27. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Francis: From a Pizza Boy to a Billionaire B. Gymshark: From a Website to a Global Brand C. Gymshark: A World Leader in Fitness Clothing D. Francis: An Inspiration to Business Competitors C Creating smells in virtual reality (VR) is a problem that has prevented consumer VR devices from offering a full sensory experience in most settings. Past efforts to create smells in VR had to depend on multiple wires, messy liquids, and heavy equipment that don’t lend themselves to home use. To tackle the problem, Dr. Yu Xinge at the City University of Hong Kong and Li Yuhang of Beihang University in Beijing developed two wearable interfaces (接口). One can be attached to the skin between the nose and the mouth; the other can be worn on the face. Both types can generate a smell in as little as 1.44 seconds. “The higher the heat, the stronger the smell,” Yu says. That means that interfaces can get very hot — up to 60°C, which is dangerous for human skin. But their interfaces are safe because of an “open” design, which is an exit for hot air, along with a piece of chemical substance that forms a barrier between the skin and the actual device. Artists have long attempted to bring smells into entertainment. In 1960, Smell-O-Vision made its first and only appearance with the film Scent of Mystery, which released pleasant smells during key plot points through air conditioning. But the effort bombed: viewers said during screenings, smells were either delayed or too weak to notice. Smell-O-Vision never took root in Hollywood. Yu used 30 different smells chosen for their distinctive, recognizable characteristics, like the smell of green tea. But many real-life smells are less memorable and might not be as recognizable. Additionally, the mini smell generators have yet to be programmed to work smoothly with existing VR headsets. “Smell-equipped VR could be helpful medically or industrially, but it’s hard to say how this would work in the commercial field,” Jas Brooks, a PhD student at the University of Chicago, says. Whether smell-equipped VR will do better than smell-equipped films remains to be seen. But perhaps one day users will be able to stop, touch and smell virtual roses. 28. How are Yu and Li’s devices different from the previous ones? A. They are much safer. B. They are more efficient. C. They are more portable. D. They are more affordable. 29. Why is the open design used? A. To let the heat escape. B. To help users breathe easily. C. To make the device unique. D. To encourage the spread of smells. 30. What can be inferred about Smell-O-Vision? A. It was the first of its kind. B. It was spoken poorly of. C. It once appeared in a film. D. It originated in Hollywood. 31. What does Paragraph 4 mainly discuss about the interfaces? A. Their major functions. B. Their working principles. C. Their potential applications. D. Their possible weaknesses. D The mission is simple. Arrive on foreign soil, fit in and wait. Then, when the time is right, emerge from the shadows and take over. This procedure, familiar from spy fiction as the preserve of sleeper agents, is also the strategy of certain invasive plant species. Invasive species that stay put, known as sleeper species, are not hard-wired to do so. Their natural tendency to expand is, instead, held back by some external factor. With the climate rapidly changing, Bethany Bradley at the University of Massachusetts wondered whether alterations in temperature and rainfall had the potential to activate some sleeper species. As she reports in a paper in Biological Inuvasions, the answer is a definitive yes. Dr Bradley and her team came to their conclusions by studying 1,795 plant species in north-eastern America identifiable as foreign but not yet locally listed as invasive. Of these, 169 were unquestionably demonstrating invasive behaviour in other parts of the world, and causing damage to their environment. That suggested they had the capacity to cause similar damage in America too. To determine whether the conditions coming to the region would activate any of the set 169, the researchers first identified the conditions under which these species would thrive (旺盛). A number of the plants on their list were held back by the cold winters that are less and less common in the region. They also found that some other species required more rainfall than is typical. According to the team’s findings climate change is on track to awaken 18 sleeper species that could cause serious environmental and economic problems. Dr Bradley estimates that they will start to make themselves felt between 2040 and 2060 if something is not done soon. The most practical course of action, in her view, is to seek these sleeper species out before they are able to spread. Removing them today may be expensive, but it will be far cheaper than trying to weed them out tomorrow. 32. What strategy do sleeper species employ? A. Rapidly expanding in new environments. B. Patiently waiting for human intervention. C. Remaining inactive until conditions are favorable. D. Avoiding detection by staying in shadowy-corners. 33. What does the underlined word “hard-wired” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Slowly adapted. B. Solidly supported. C. Externally influenced. D. Naturally programmed. 34. What did researchers aim to uncover by focusing on the 169 species? A. The potential risks they could pose in the future. B. Their invasive behavior in other parts of the world. C. The reasons why they failed to survive in America. D. Possible ways to make them less common in America. 35. What’s Dr Bradley’s suggestion for dealing with sleeper species? A. Let nature take its course. B. Prevention is better than cure. C. Cutting budgets is a top priority. D. Delay action until it’s necessary. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It’s happened to all of us: a song comes on the radio, and we are immediately transported back to a time in our past. ____36____ There are a few things that connect tunes with our memories. Music is often a necessary element of many important life events, and it is also very effective in arresting our attention. ____37____ Besides, the emotional nature of music helps make it particularly memorable. We often become familiar with a piece of music because we hear it as background music. The more familiar a piece of music is, the more effective it is in bringing back memories. ____38____ The reason is that we are far more likely to hear a song over and over again than to watch a film or a TV programme in the same way. Tiffany Jenkins, writing for a culture column, has a different opinion: ____39____ She tells us how throughout history oral cultures have passed important knowledge from generation to generation through songs because of this characteristic. The rhythm (韵律) and rhyme in lines of songs all serve as memory aids. ____40____ This fact corresponds with what many experts call the “reminiscence bump (怀旧性记忆)”, where older adults (over forty) have increased recollection of events that occurred during their adolescence and early adulthood. It’s clear that our memories and music are closely linked — to the point that music is being used to help Alzheimer’s disease sufferers access memories that they thought they had lost. A. Familiarity is important. B. Music itself is easy to remember. C. But what makes music so effective in doing this? D. Our musical preference usually forms during our teens. E. This applies to music more than other cultural products. F. Pop music especially can be connected with an important memory. G. Music and these life events are likely to be linked together in our memories. 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 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I was then in my early twenties.

Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right. The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing.” Grandma nodded. I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market. Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer. However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent(有能力的)computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.” I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts(零件)for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet.

The company believes in the importance of making buildings that can produce their own power and food. They believe the buildings should also recycle all of their waste. The new designs make people living and working in these buildings think about being outside. They feel like they're reconnecting with the natural world instead of being far apart from IT. The company believes this way of thinking is very important for the future of urban living. One of mad newest projects is called the urban forest, designed for the city of chong ching. There will be offices, open spaces, balcony, ies with trees and many plants throughout. The project is inspired by the mountains, chinese landscape and the traditional villages built on the hillsides. IT will be in urban engineering.
