Most of our customers were well-off retirees.Generally a nice group of customers, but definitely rich uptight people.Forgetting to bring salt to some might be a huge offense but automatically bringing it causes others to give you a lecture about sodium (钠) intake. It was St.Patrick's Day.Needless to say, it was a crazy evening with me rushing around serving corned beef and cabbage pouring Guinness.For some reason, the bar supervisor always liked to have food specials on display for people to see.While I got the concept, it generally just caused us to get mean looks when we told people they probably shouldn't eat it. As the night was beginning to slow down, I had an older couple sit at the only open seats—next to our food displays.I was clearing tables and leaned over to let them know I'd be right with them when a plate slid off the mountain of dishes I was carrying, dropping right into the food display.The 12-hour-old gravy and potatoes somehow still had some fluidity to them and flew up, then dropped—right into the man's lap. I was horrified and apologizing profusely (不停地) while trying to set down the mountain of dishes. The man looked up at me and said “I just have one thing to tell you.” He slowly leaned in—at which point I was thinking he was about to spit in my face—and he said “I don't have to hiccup (打嗝) anymore.You scared it away.” It was the laugh I needed that night and he wouldn't even let me give him a free beer as an apology. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在酒吧当服务员的经历。在一个忙碌的晚上，作者全场跑来跑去，在稍微晚一点的时候，作者不小心将陈列的样品菜的酱汁滴在了顾客腿上，作者很害怕，不停地道歉。顾客却没有生气，而是开玩笑化解了尴尬的局面。 24．What's the purpose of writing paragraph 2? A．To tell senior citizens prefer food low in salt. B．To show the service was a hard balancing act. C．To complain the customers are difficult to deal with. D．To prove the rich retirees are particular about food. 答案：B 24 25 26 27 24 25 26 27 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段“Most of our customers were well-off retirees.Generally a nice group of customers, but definitely rich uptight people.Forgetting to bring salt to some might be a huge offense but automatically bringing it causes others to give you a lecture about sodium intake.”可知，作者的客户要求很高以至于作者很难拿捏服务的轻重。所以作者写第二段是为了表明服务是一种难以平衡的行为。 25．What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A．Customers might want to eat the food on show. B．The author was not working busily on that day. C．The author approved of laying out the food special. D．Waiters and waitresses were often looked down on. 答案：A 24 25 26 27 24 25 26 27 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段“While I got the concept, it generally just caused us to get mean looks when we told people they probably shouldn't eat it.”可推知，顾客可能会想吃陈列的食物。 26．Why did the author apologize? A．For her tolerance. B．For her ignorance. C．For her carelessness. D．For her misunderstanding. 答案：C 24 25 26 27 24 25 26 27 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中“I was clearing tables and leaned over to let them know I'd be right with them when a plate slid off the mountain of dishes I was carrying, dropping right into the food display.The 12-hour-old gravy and potatoes somehow still had some fluidity to them and flew up, then dropped—right into the man's lap.”可知，作者道歉是因为她的粗心大意。 27．What idea does the author mainly convey by sharing her experience? A．You should compromise sometimes. B．Conflicts are well-resolved by the laugh. C．You should apologize when necessary. D．Forgiveness can bring pleasure in life. 答案：D 24 25 26 27 24 25 26 27 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“It was the laugh I needed that night and he wouldn't even let me give him a free beer as an apology.”可知，顾客的玩笑化解了作者尴尬的局面。所以，作者通过分享她的经历是为了表明宽恕能给生活带来快乐。 C Around seven out of every ten Americans who work in offices do their work in an open environment, defined as at desks without meaningful partitions (隔板), according to an International Facility Management Association survey.That is, if they even have a desk—workers may be assigned only a few feet of a communal (共用的) table.The open-plan office space trend, popularized by creative agencies and technology start-ups, went mainstream because of the belief that open-space environments support innovation.More nearness between employees, the thinking went, would create more interaction and teamwork, promote social interaction and urge productivity. But in fact, purely open-plan offices have been shown to have the opposite effects, creating so much distraction (分心) that employees stayed away from each other.A study funded by Harvard Business School, the results of which were published last year, tracked what happened when a British company moved its employees from traditional office space, with offices with walls, to an open office.Face-to-face interaction became less—employees spent 72 percent less time interacting with their colleagues.Instead of talking more with each other, the employees put on headphones and began communicating by text and email.As digital communication channels surged, productivity declined. Neuroscience also holds some clues as to why the tight quarters in communal work spaces—where workers are only given about half the space they were given a decade ago—are so hard to work in.“The human voice sets off the most powerful emotional response in our auditory (听觉的) experience.Voice above 55 decibels (分贝)—roughly the sound of a loud phone call—causes measurable stress，” according to a Wall Street Journal article，“The Neuroscience-Optimized Office”．“Even more troublesome are overheard ‘halfversations’， in which the listener only knows about one side of a dialogue; our brains automatically imagine the other，” wrote authors John Medina and Ryan Mullenix. But the solution, say experts including Newport, isn't to go back to putting everyone into offices with walls. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了开放式办公室的流行趋势及其对员工工作效率和互动的影响。 28．What can we learn about the open office trend according to paragraph 1? A．It allows 10 people at most to work together. B．It is believed to stimulate workers' creativity. C．It is only popular with new technology companies. D．It is aimed at promoting workers' social interaction. 答案：B 28 29 30 31 28 29 30 31 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The open-plan office space trend, popularized by creative agencies and technology start-ups, went mainstream because of the belief that open-space environments support innovation.”可知，开放式办公室的流行趋势是因为人们相信它能激发员工的创造力。 29．What does the underlined word “surged” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Suspended timely.　　 B．Became useless. C．Cost less. D．Increased quickly. 答案：D 28 29 30 31 28 29 30 31 解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“Instead of talking more with each other, the employees put on headphones and began communicating by text and email.”可知，员工们开始更多地使用数字通信渠道，数字通信渠道的激增。因此，画线词surged意为“迅速增加”。 30．What makes an open office hard to work in? A．Hearing endless noisy phone calls. B．Showing real emotions publicly. C．Facing communication barriers at work. D．Hearing part of a dialogue between colleagues. 答案：D 28 29 30 31 28 29 30 31 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“‘Even more troublesome are overheard...our brains automatically imagine the other，’ wrote authors John Medina and Ryan Mullenix.”可知，开放式办公室难以工作的原因是听到同事之间对话的一部分。 31．What will probably be discussed in the following paragraph? A．What are benefits of the open offices with walls. B．Why the open office makes workers distracted. C．How to deal with the disadvantages of the open office. D．How to draw workers' attention to their colleagues nearby. 答案：C 28 29 30 31 28 29 30 31 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“But the solution, say experts including Newport, isn't to go back to putting everyone into offices with walls.”可推测，接下来可能会讨论如何解决开放式办公室的缺点。 D Artificial intelligence(AI) models have long surpassed (超出) just creating text responses and images.Now, with only one sentence, OpenAI's latest text-to-video model, Sora, can turn your words into video with good visual quality while completely following your content instructions. Sora is said to be better than many other existing models with similar functions.The AI model can create videos at suitable aspect ratios (屏幕高宽比) for different devices.It also lets users quickly test out content in lower quality before making the high-quality version, which helps speed up output according to the user's requests. Apart from this, its ability to present videos in a realistic and smooth manner is surprising.Sora can create detailed scenes with several characters, specific types of motion, and accurate (准确的) subject and background details.Beyond the user's requests, it also understands how these elements exist in the real world.For example, reflections in the water change as a woman walks by. However, the current model isn't perfect.It may have trouble accurately showing how things move in a complicated scene and might not get how one action leads to another.For example, if someone eats part of a cookie in a Sora-made video, the cookie might not look like it's been bitten into.The model might mix up directions and find it hard to describe events in the right order.One possible reason is that Sora learns each basic unit of a video, known as a spacetime patch (时空补丁), independently. Sora is still in the testing stage of development.OpenAI is now inviting network security professionals to make random attacks on Sora's system in order to test the model's possible weaknesses and risks.Sora has also been open to some visual artists, designers and filmmakers.Their feedback will help OpenAI to improve the model to better serve creative professionals. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Sora这一先进AI模型能够根据文本指令生成高质量视频及其特点。 32．What is the main focus of paragraph 2 and 3? A．Sora's strengths. B．Sora's weaknesses. C．Sora's development. D．Sora's popularity. 答案：A 32 33 34 35 32 33 34 35 解析：段落大意题。根据第二段和第三段的内容可知，两段主要描述了Sora的优点，包括它可以创建适合不同设备的视频、允许用户快速测试低质量版本以及能够生成真实流畅的视频场景等，这两段的重点在于展示Sora的优势。 33．Why does the author provide the example in paragraph 4? A．To show Sora's safety problems. B．To show Sora's existing weaknesses. C．To show Sora's perfect performance. D．To explain the concept of a spacetime patch. 答案：B 32 33 34 35 32 33 34 35 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中“However, the current model isn't perfect.It may have trouble accurately showing how things move in a complicated scene and might not get how one action leads to another.”及所举例子可知，第四段提供的例子是说明Sora在处理复杂场景时的一些局限性，比如难以准确表现物体运动或事件顺序等，这个例子是用来展示Sora目前存在的弱点。 34．What can we know about Sora up to now? A．It has experienced testing and improvement. B．It has enjoyed great popularity. C．It has made random attacks. D．It has been applied in various industries. 答案：A 32 33 34 35 32 33 34 35 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“Sora is still in the testing stage of development.OpenAI is now inviting network security professionals to make random attacks on Sora's system in order to test the model's possible weaknesses and risks.Sora has also been open to some visual artists, designers and filmmakers.Their feedback will help OpenAI to improve the model to better serve creative professionals.”可知，Sora已经经历了测试和改进。 35．What's the best title for the text? A．Sora: A Perfect Text-to-video AI Model B．Sora: Surpass Existing ChatGPT C．Sora: Known as a Spacetime Patch D．Sora: Lead the Way in Creating Videos 答案：D 32 33 34 35 32 33 34 35 解析：标题归纳题。根据全文内容尤其是第一段可知，这篇文章主要介绍了Sora在文本转视频方面的先进功能和技术优势，尽管它还存在一些限制，但它在视频创作领域显示出引领潮流的潜力。D选项符合题意，最适合作为本文标题。 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。 It's a joyful and stressful time of year in the United States for students and their families as they make decisions about where to attend college.Families often turn to ranking systems to help make a decision. 36 When I talk to families as a scholar of higher education, they're often surprised that teaching excellence is not counted in rankings. 37 Emerging research suggests that courses in lower-ranked universities, on average, scored higher on teaching than courses in higher-ranked universities. 38 The absence of teaching excellence from the rankings is surprising given the link between high-quality teaching and student success.Quality teaching is one of the most important predictors of a wide range of college outcomes. Rankings, however, are only one reason why a low value is placed on teaching in higher education.Administrators often don't view teaching excellence as a way to increase enrolment or funding. 39 Research shows that the more time instructors spend on teaching, the lower their salary.What is the result? Many instructors continue to teach using traditional lectures, which lead to lower success rates. 40 Nevertheless, not much will change until schools with high-quality teaching are rewarded with more resources, higher rankings and increased enrolments.In the long term, universities, organisations that rank schools, and others should work to make teaching a valued, core part of the mission. What should students and their families do? They should give strong consideration to universities where high-quality teaching is valued, even though the schools may be ranked lower. A．Higher education has achieved its true potential. B．Therefore, it's not highly valued in hiring or promotion. C．Quality teaching has been an important reputation-building factor.

[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何选择高校提供了一些建议。 36．答案：D 解析：根据空前内容“It's a joyful and stressful time of year in the United States for students and their families as they make decisions about where to attend college.Families often turn to rankings systems to help make a decision.”可知，美国的学生和家人们在决定去哪儿上大学时，经常求助于排名系统。而根据下文“Emerging research suggests that courses in lower-ranked universities, on average, scored higher on teaching than courses in higher-ranked universities.”可推断出，后面主要讲述的是排名方面出现的问题。选项D“However, the rankings ignore a critical factor: the quality of teaching.”延续上文内容，指出大学排名存在的问题；而根据下文内容也可以推断，排名中存在的问题使教学质量被忽略。 37．答案：F 解析：根据空前内容“When I talk to families as a scholar of higher education, they're often surprised that teaching excellence is not counted in rankings.”可知，大学排名中优秀的教学水平并没有被纳入排名让人们觉得很惊讶。选项F“They're even more surprised at how teaching is undervalued by universities.”延续上文内容，指的都是大学排名忽略教学质量。其中“more surprised”和上文的“surprised”保持一致。 38．答案：G 解析：空前内容“Emerging research suggests that courses in lower-ranked universities, on average, scored higher on teaching than courses in higher-ranked universities.”以及空后内容“The absence of teaching excellence from the rankings is surprising given the link between high-quality teaching and student success.Quality teaching is one of the most important predictors of a wide range of college outcomes.”讲述的都是大学排名中没有考虑到教学。选项G“In fact, universities often shift emphasis from teaching to other ranking factors.”与上下文内容相一致。 39．答案：B 解析：根据空前内容“Rankings, however, are only one reason why a low value is placed on teaching in higher education.Administrators often don't view teaching excellence as a way to increase enrolment or funding.”可知，上文分析了教学不被纳入排名的原因，该空应该讲其后果。选项B“Therefore, it's not highly valued in hiring or promotion.”是上文内容的延续，正因为管理人员通常不把卓越的教学视为增加入学率或增加资金的一种方式，所以教学在招聘和晋升中不受重视。 40．答案：E 解析：根据下文内容“Nevertheless, not much will change until schools with high-quality teaching are rewarded with more resources, higher rankings and increased enrolments.In the long term, universities, organisations that rank schools, and others should work to make teaching a valued, core part of the mission.”可知，此处算是站在大学的角度，提出如何把教学当成他们的首要核心任务。根据“Nevertheless”可知，空处内容和下文内容存在转折关系。选项E“Efforts to improve teaching at the university level have recently emerged.”与下文形成转折，旨在说明，促使教学成为核心任务的艰巨性和重要性。 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。 For as long as I can remember I've been making art.That meant spending hours at the kitchen table, as a child, drawing women in beautiful gowns and dogs wearing clothes eating in fancy restaurants.Because I was encouraged and praised, I 41 that talent.
