Joker: Folie a Deux (Oct. 4) The first Joker stunned Hollywood by becoming a $1 billion hit despite being R-rated and having a modest budget for a comic book movie. The sequel (续作) comes at a challenging time for the comic book genre, but can Joiner 2 have the last laugh? Joaquin Phoenix reprises his Oscar-winning role As Arthur Fleck, with Lady Gaga joining as co-lead in this musical in filmmaker Todd Phillips’ feature. Twisters (July 19) The new version of the 90s movie Twister stars Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell and Anthony Ramos. Minari’s Lee Isaac Chung directs. The original followed storm- chasers in Oklahoma and was known for its inventive special effects that brought tornadoes to the big screen. Inside Out 2 (June 14) The gang is back together in this animated follow-up to the beloved Pixar movie that follows the anthropomorphized (人格化) emotions of a young girl led by Amy Poehler’s Joy. Joining for this round is Anxiety, voiced by Maya Hawke. Mufasa: The Lion King (Dec. 20) After Jon Favreau’s The Lion King remake made more than S 1. billion at the box office in 2019, Disney was keen to return to the world with a prequel (前传) focusing on Mufasa. This time, Barry Jenkins directs the cartoon with — Aaron Pierre voicing Mufasa, a role made famous by James Earl Jones in the 1994 animated feature. 1. Which movie is a remake? A.

Both introduce new characters. C. Both are made by new directors. D. Both are financially successful. 3. Where is the text probably from? A. journal on film studies. B. An entertainment website. C. A textbook on movie history. D. A daily newspaper on global news. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍几部2024年最佳电影。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。由Twisters (July 19)中“The new version of the 90s movie Twister stars Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell and Anthony Ramos. Minari’s Lee Isaac Chung directs. (90年代电影《 Twister》的新版本由Daisy Edgar-Jones、Glen Powell 和Anthony Ramos主演，Minari’s Lee Isaac Chung导演。)”可知，Twisters是翻拍的电影。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。由Inside Out 2(June 14)中“The gang is back together in this animated follow-up to the beloved Pixar movie... (在这部深受喜爱的皮克斯电影的动画续集中，这帮人又聚在一起了...)”和Mufasa: The Lion King (Dec. 20)中“This time, Barry Jenkins directs the cartoon with- Aaron Pierre voicing Mufasa, a role made famous by James Earl Jones in the 1994 animated feature.(这一次，Barry Jenkins执导了这部动画片，Aaron Pierre为木法沙配音，这个角色是James Earl Jones 在1994年的动画长片中出名的。)”可知，这里两部电影都是动画片。故选A项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“Welcome to our guide of the Best Movies of 2024, featuring every Certified Fresh movie as they come in week by week!(欢迎来到我们的2024年最佳电影指南，每周都有经过认证的新鲜电影上映！)”以及下文可知，这篇文章主要介绍几部2024年最佳电影，所以可能来自于个娱乐网站。故选B项。 B For eight years, Sophie created realistic-looking limbs (肢) for those who wanted to fit in. But she longed to work on more odd designs that would stand out. Then she met Pollyanna Hope, a young amputee (被截肢者). “She wanted something a little different on her leg: pictures of a cartoon she loved, Peppa Pig,” said Sophie, who is now based in London. So she designed a unique leg covered in tattoo-like images of Peppa and other pigs riding a bicycle and eating ice cream. Working with Hope made Sophie realize there was a potential market for limbs. Since then, Sophie founded the Alternative Limb Project (ALP) to make artistic limbs. Her work includes an arm wrapped in sculpted snakes and a leg that looks like porcelain (瓷器) covered in a painted flowery vine. She makes about six limbs per year, always including clients’ ideas so that they receive a personal piece they can celebrate rather than hide. Of course, a fancy-looking limb won't suit everyone. For Sophie, the basis is that each limb must satisfy a combination of comfort, beauty and functionality, and pushing too hard in one direction can weaken other areas. But for amputees who appreciate novelty, Sophie has some amazing ideas. “I’d really like to make a candy-dispenser leg with colorful candies inside it” she says. “Or a cuckoo-clock leg with a wooden bird that pops out every hour.” Her goal is to fashion a striking limb. “It’ll transform the limbs from an elephant in the room into a conversation piece.” 4. Why did Pollyanna Hope come to Sophie? A. She hoped to have a tailored limb. B She intended to design a cartoon figure. C. She longed to expand the market for limbs. D. She expected to sell Sophie some odd ideas. 5. According to paragraph 3, ALP aims to ______. A. boost users’ confidence B. sharpen users’ creativity C. improve Sophie’s sculpture skills D. extend Sophie’s art business 6. What is the basis for Sophie's works? A. The novelty of the pattern tops the list. B. The balance of multi-needs comes first. C. Fashion is the best policy. D. Functionality is the key. 7. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A. Sophie resolves to lead the fashion of limbs. B. Sophie plans to further transform artistic limbs. C. Amputees will feel at ease to talk about limbs. D. Amputees will have easy access to artistic limbs. 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Sophie为截肢者设计独特假肢的经历和想法，展示了她的设计理念和对截肢者需求的关注。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段““She wanted something a little different on her leg: pictures of a cartoon she loved, Peppa Pig,” said Sophie, who is now based in London. So she designed a unique leg covered in tattoo-like images of Peppa and other pigs riding a bicycle and eating ice cream. (“她想在腿上画点不一样的东西：她喜欢的动画片小猪佩奇的照片，”现在住在伦敦的Sophie说。因此，她设计了一条独特的腿，上面有纹身图案，比如佩奇和其他猪骑自行车、吃冰淇淋。)”可知，Pollyanna Hope来找Sophie的原因是希望有一个定制的假肢。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Since then, Sophie founded the Alternative Limb Project (ALP) to make artistic limbs. Her work includes an arm wrapped in sculpted snakes and a leg that looks like porcelain (瓷器) covered in a painted flowery vine. She makes about six limbs per year, always including clients’ ideas so that they receive a personal piece they can celebrate rather than hide.(从那时起，Sophie创立了“ALP”，制作艺术肢体。她的作品包括一条包裹着雕刻蛇的手臂和一条看起来像瓷器的腿，上面覆盖着彩绘的花藤。她每年制作大约六只假肢，总是包括客户的想法，这样他们就可以得到一件可以庆祝而不是隐藏的个人作品。)”可知，Sophie创立“ALP”是为了让客户有一件可以庆祝而不是隐藏的假肢，也就是为了提升用户的自信心。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“For Sophie, the basis is that each limb must satisfy a combination of comfort, beauty and functionality, and pushing too hard in one direction can weaken other areas. But for amputees who appreciate novelty, Sophie has some amazing ideas.(对Sophie来说，基础是每个肢体都必须满足舒适、美观和功能的结合，在一个方向上用力过猛会削弱其他领域。但对于喜欢新奇事物的截肢者来说，Sophie有一些惊人的想法。)”可知，对Sophie来说，作品的基础是每个肢体都必须满足舒适、美观和功能的结合。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。在英文中“an elephant in the room”比喻一些非常显而易见的，可是却一直被忽略的棘手问题。由此可知，这句话的意思指的是“将假肢的事变成日常话题”，也就是说Sophie希望截肢者能够轻松地谈论假肢。故选C。 C According to an idea called the “inflationary (暴涨的) multiverse”, the universe has been constantly expanding, which would have created a countless number of other universes. Collectively, these universal islands form what scientists call a “multiverse”. However, other universes may lie beyond our scientific reach, physically and philosophically. Consequently, the methodologies by which physicists might validate (验证) the multiverse and whether such validation is even possible remain unresolved inquiries. In science, hypotheses (假说) are used to propose explanations, but from hypotheses to theories, validation of predictions is essential to see whether initial assumptions are supported or disproved. Theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli says, “It is hard to write theories that survive the proof of reality. Few survive thanks to a basic idea: Do not trust your fancies. Keep only the ideas that can be tested.” Rovelli adds, “Today many physicists are wasting time trying to guess and jumping to conclusions. This approach has never worked before, and it is not working now. The multiverse might be one of those wild guesses.” Now, physicists are debating whether that problem moves the multiverse from physics to metaphysics (玄学), from the world of science to that of philosophy. Philosopher Richard Dawid believes scientists could support the multiverse hypotheses without actually finding physical support. “If we have a theory that seems to work, and have come up with nothing that works better. Chances are our idea is right,” he says. Not everyone is so cheerful, though. Sabine Hossenfelder, another theoretical physicist, thinks “Without making contact with observation, a theory isn’t part of the natural sciences, and not physics.” Some supporters of the multiverse claim they have found physical evidence. Andrei Linde insists “Our universe seems fine-tuned to be favourable to life, with a four-dimensional space in which we can live. It is certain that in an endlessly inflating multiverse, one of the universes should turn out like ours. Each universe can have different physical laws and fundamentals. Given limitless changes, a universe on which humans can be born will be born. The multiverse actually explains why we’re here. And our existence, therefore, helps explain why the multiverse is plausible.” Just as Einstein’s theory of general relativity could only be confirmed recently with a billion-dollar instrument called LIGO, scientists may eventually discover more direct evidence of the multiverse. So far, all of science has relied on testability, but those tests take time, and most theoreticians want to wait it out. They are not ready to shelve an idea like the multiverse — which could actually be the answer to life, the universe and everything — until and unless they can prove to themselves it doesn’t exist. And that day may never come. 8. What does Carlo Rovelli think of the multiverse? A. It is a crazy idea. B. It can be tested. C. It is widely accepted. D. It comes from reality. 9. What does the underlined word “plausible” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Fascinating. B. Complex. C. Essential. D. Credible. 10. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Testing the multiverse theory is a waste of time. B. The multiverse theory will be confirmed one day. C. Einstein’s theory of relativity is the answer to life. D. The multiverse research has made a breakthrough. 11. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. Mysteries of Multiverse: Fine-Tuned for Life B. Can Physicists Ever Prove the Multiverse Is Real? C. The Inflationary Multiverse: Proven Beyond Doubt D. Have Physicists Lost Their Minds in the Multiverse? 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。本文探讨了物理学家对于“暴涨多元宇宙”理论的看法和验证该理论的挑战。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli says, “It is hard to write theories that survive the proof of reality. Few survive thanks to a basic idea: Do not trust your fancies. Keep only the ideas that can be tested.” Rovelli adds, “Today many physicists are wasting time trying to guess and jumping to conclusions. This approach has never worked before, and it is not working now. The multiverse might be one of those wild guesses.”(理论物理学家Carlo Rovelli说：“提出能够经受住现实验证的理论是非常困难的。很少有理论能够幸存下来，这得益于一个基本的理念：不要相信你的幻想。只保留可以被检验的想法。”Rovelli补充道：“如今，许多物理学家都在浪费时间试图猜测并急于下结论。这种方法以前从未奏效，现在也行不通。多元宇宙可能是那些疯狂的猜测之一。”)”可知，理论物理学家Carlo Rovelli认为“多元宇宙”是一个难以通过现实验证的理论，很多物理学家都在浪费时间猜测并急于下结论，而多元宇宙可能就是这些疯狂猜测中的一个。因此，他认为多元宇宙是一个疯狂的想法。故选A。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中Andrei Linde观点“It is certain that in an endlessly inflating multiverse, one of the universes should turn out like ours. Each universe can have different physical laws and fundamentals. Given limitless changes, a universe on which humans can be born will be born. The multiverse actually explains why we’re here. And our existence, therefore, helps explain why the multiverse is plausible.(在一个无限膨胀的多元宇宙中，可以肯定的是，其中一个宇宙应该会与我们的宇宙相似。每个宇宙都可以拥有不同的物理定律和基本法则。在无限变化中，一个能够诞生人类的宇宙终将诞生。多元宇宙实际上解释了为什么我们会在这里。因此，我们的存在反过来也有助于解释为什么多元宇宙论是plausible。)”可知，多元宇宙的支持者认为多元宇宙实际上解释了为什么我们在这里，而我们的存在也帮助解释了为什么多元宇宙是合理的，“plausible”应表示“可信的、合理的”，与D选项“credible(可信的)”意思相近。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Just as Einstein’s theory of general relativity could only be confirmed recently with a billion-dollar instrument called LIGO, scientists may eventually discover more direct evidence of the multiverse. So far, all of science has relied on testability, but those tests take time, and most theoreticians want to wait it out. They are not ready to shelve an idea like the multiverse — which could actually be the answer to life, the universe and everything — until and unless they can prove to themselves it doesn’t exist. And that day may never come.(正如爱因斯坦的广义相对论直到最近才通过名为LIGO的耗资数十亿美元的仪器得到证实一样，科学家们最终也可能会发现多元宇宙更为直接的证据。迄今为止，所有科学都依赖于可验证性，但这些验证需要时间，而大多数理论家都愿意等待。他们不会轻易放弃像多元宇宙这样的想法——这实际上可能是生命、宇宙以及万物的答案——除非他们自己能够证明它不存在。而那一天可能永远不会到来)”可推知，作者认为多元宇宙理论总有一天会得到证实。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“According to an idea called the “inflationary (暴涨的) multiverse”, the universe has been constantly expanding, which would have created a countless number of other universes...Consequently, the methodologies by which physicists might validate (验证) the multiverse and whether such validation is even possible remain unresolved inquiries.(根据一种被称为“暴涨多元宇宙”的观点，宇宙一直在不断膨胀，这将创造出无数其他宇宙……因此，物理学家验证多元宇宙的方法，以及这种验证是否可能，仍然是悬而未决的问题。)”以及下文内容围绕物理学家能否证明多元宇宙的真实性展开可知，本文探讨了物理学家对于“暴涨多元宇宙”理论的看法和验证该理论的挑战。选项B“物理学家能证明多元宇宙是真实存在的吗”适合作本文最佳标题。故选B。 D The ocean covers almost three-quarters of the planet. Were all the planet’s water placed over the United States, it would form a column of liquid 132km tall. The ocean provides 3bn people with almost a fifth of their protein (making fish a bigger source of the stuff than beef). Climate and weather systems depend on the temperature patterns of the ocean and its interactions with the atmosphere. If anything ought to be too big to fail, it is the ocean. Humans have long assumed that the ocean’s size allowed them to put anything they wanted into it and to take anything they wanted out. However, changing temperatures and chemistry, overfishing and pollution have stressed its ecosystems for decades. The ocean stores more than nine-tenths of the heat trapped on Earth by greenhouse-gas emissions. Consequently, coral reefs are suffering. Scientists expect almost all corals to be gone by 2050. By the middle of the century the ocean could contain more plastic than fish by weight. Ground down into tiny pieces, it is eaten by fish and then by people, with uncertain effects on human health. Nevertheless, appetite for fish grows: almost 90% of stocks are fished either at or beyond their sustainable limits. The ocean nurtures humanity. Humanity treats it with contempt. Such self-destructive behavior demands explanation. Unarguably, the ocean being subject to a series of laws and agreements, enforcement is hard. Apart from this, two reasons stand out. One is geography. The bulk of the ocean is beyond the horizon and below the waterline. The damage being done to its health is visible in a few liminal places. But for the most part, the sea is out of sight and out of mind. It is telling that there is only a single fleeting reference to the ocean in the Paris agreement on climate change. Second, the ocean is a victim of other bigger processes. The emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere is changing the marine environment along with the rest of the planet. The ocean has warmed by 0. 7℃ since the 19th century, damaging corals and encouraging organisms to migrate towards the poles for cooler waters. Greater concentrations of carbon dioxide in the water are making it more acidic, harming creatures such as crabs and oysters, whose calcium carbonate shells suffer as marine chemistry alters. 12. What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A. The vastness of the ocean. B. The significance of the ocean. C. The ecosystem of the ocean. D. The climate of the ocean. 13. How does the author convey his message in paragraph 3? A. By listing current problems. B. By providing research data. C. By citing expert opinions. D. By comparing different ecosystems. 14. Why does the author mention “the Paris agreement on climate change” in paragraph 4? A. To show people often disobey it. B. To tell us people seldom refer to it. C. To remind us the ocean is vital to man. D. To prove ocean protection is overlooked. 15. What will the author probably write next? A. How to tap into the ocean. B. How to research into the ocean. C. How to rise to the challenges of the ocean. D. How to raise people’s environmental awareness. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是海洋对人类的意义重大，但海洋之大，让人们误以为她的资源取之不尽用之不竭，人类对海洋资源无穷无尽的索取让她面临严峻的挑战。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段中的“The ocean provides 3bn people with almost a fifth of their protein (making fish a bigger source of the stuff than beef). Climate and weather systems depend on the temperature patterns of the ocean and its interactions with the atmosphere. If anything ought to be too big to fail, it is the ocean.(海洋为30亿人口提供了近五分之一的蛋白质(使鱼类成为比牛肉更大的蛋白质来源)。气候和天气系统取决于海洋的温度模式及其与大气的相互作用。如果有什么东西应该大到不能倒，那就是海洋。)”可知，此处介绍了海洋对民生的重要性以及海洋对环境的重要性，由此可知，第一段主要介绍的是海洋的重要性。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The ocean stores more than nine-tenths of the heat trapped on Earth by greenhouse-gas emissions.(海洋储存了地球上因温室气体排放而滞留的十分之九以上的热量。)”可知，海洋储存着滞留在地球上十分之九以上的热量，结合下文中的“By the middle of the century the ocean could contain more plastic than fish by weight. Ground down into tiny pieces, it is eaten by fish and then by people, with uncertain effects on human health.(到本世纪中期，海洋里的塑料重量将超过鱼类的重量。这些塑料在海水冲刷下磨成细小的碎片，被鱼类吃掉，进而被人类所食，这对人类的健康会造成不确定的影响。)”可知，本段列举了海洋面临的问题：存储因温室气体排放而滞留在地球的热量以及海洋的塑料污染问题，由此可知，作者是通过列举海洋面临的问题来表达信息的。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Such self-destructive behavior demands explanation. Unarguably, the ocean being subject to a series of laws and agreements, enforcement is hard.(这种自我毁灭的行为需要解释。无可争议的是，海洋受到一系列法律和协议的约束，执行起来很困难。)”以及下文中的“It is telling that there is only a single fleeting reference to the ocean in the Paris agreement on climate change.(在关于气候变化的《巴黎协定》中，对海洋只有一次短暂的提及，这很能说明问题。)”可知，作者在段首点明海洋受到一系列法律和协议的约束，但是执行起来很难，进而在尾句中提到关于气候变化的《巴黎协定》的执行情况，由此可知，作者提及《巴黎协议》是为了证明海洋保护是被忽视的。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据首段“The ocean covers almost three-quarters of the planet. Were all the planet’s water placed over the United States, it would form a column of liquid 132km tall. The ocean provides 3bn people with almost a fifth of their protein (making fish a bigger source of the stuff than beef). Climate and weather systems depend on the temperature patterns of the ocean and its interactions with the atmosphere. If anything ought to be too big to fail, it is the ocean.(海洋占地球表面的四分之三。如果将地球上的所有海水放置在美国上空，将形成一个132公里高的圆柱。海洋向30亿人口提供了五分之一的蛋白质（鱼类提供的蛋白质超过了牛肉）。气候和天气系统依赖海洋的温度模式以及和大气的交互。如果有什么东西“因为太大而不能倒”的话，那就应该是海洋。)”可知，本文在分析海洋面临的问题时，先写了海洋的重要性：海洋之大、海洋对民生的重要性、海洋对环境的重要性，进而在下文描述海洋面临的问题：资源问题、环境问题，这样更能引起人们的关注与警觉，由此可推断，海洋对人类如此重要，而当前又面临着如何多的问题，所以，接下来作者应该介绍的是如何应对海洋的挑战。故选C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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Gifts are so meaningful that many believe that gifts from their romantic partner are a big way they can understand how much their partner loves them. ____16____ But in fact, gift-giving and receiving is actually the least popular love language. This leads to the question: Why do most people say that gift-giving stresses them out? Part of the problem is that occasions that involve gift-giving are filled with uncertainty. If it’s an occasion like Christmas, where people are shopping for each other at the same time, people might be nervous about whether the gift they give will be in the same category as the gift they will also receive. ____17____ Imagine that someone is showing some signs of Seasonal Affective Disorder, and you’ re considering giving him a light therapy (光疗) lamp as a gift. The receiver may possibly regard this as“just what they needed.” But what if the lamp-receiver interprets the gift as an unwelcome piece of comment on their current state? Another issue is that you’re probably going to give a bad gift, and that bad gift might overshadow the many good gifts you’ve given. ____18____ The idea, simply put, is that bad outcomes have a stronger psychological impact than comparable good outcomes. Few baseball fans remember all the ground balls that Bill Buckner fielded cleanly, but many remember the one that went through his legs. Worst of all, there’s the anxiety that comes with receiving gifts. You might expect that a lot of well-meaning but disappointing gifts are heading your way. There can be some unease that comes with knowing that you’ll soon need to perform joy and appreciation. ____19____ ____20____ When done carefully, it can be a wonderful way to communicate to loved ones that we appreciate and understand them. Gifts can absolutely draw people closer together, in a lasting way. A. The smell of a bad gift can delay. B. However, gift-giving is not all bad, of course. C. Uncertainty can also result from different categories of gifts. D. There is also great uncertainty around how the gift-receivers will respond. E. Soon you may be in a state of paying for your such kind of over performance. F. Indeed, gift-giving occasions seem like wonderful opportunities to create delight. G. Even worse, you might worry the gift-giver will detect your insincerity and get hurt. 【答案】16. F 17. D 18. A 19. G 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕送礼物与收礼物过程中存在的压力和焦虑等问题展开说明，通过分析诸如送礼物场合的不确定性、送出糟糕礼物的影响以及接收礼物时的担忧等方面，阐述了为何大多数人会觉得送礼物有压力，最后又说明若处理得当，礼物也能成为向亲人朋友传达欣赏与理解、拉近彼此关系的美好方式。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Gifts are so meaningful that many believe that gifts from their romantic partner are a big way they can understand how much their partner loves them. (礼物意义非凡，许多人认为来自恋人的礼物是他们了解对方有多爱自己的重要方式)”可知，礼物在人们心中是很重要且能带来喜悦的。由此可知，F项“Indeed, gift-giving occasions seem like wonderful opportunities to create delight. (事实上，送礼场合似乎是创造快乐的绝佳机会)”能够承接上文，进一步强调送礼物能带来喜悦。故选F项。 【17题详解】 根据下文“Imagine that someone is showing some signs of Seasonal Affective Disorder, and you’re considering giving him a light therapy (光疗) lamp as a gift. The receiver may possibly regard this as “just what they needed.”(想象一下，某人表现出一些季节性情感障碍的迹象，而你正在考虑送给他一盏光疗灯作为礼物。接收者可能会认为这“正是他们所需要的”)”可知，礼物接收者的回应是不确定的。由此可知，D项“There is also great uncertainty around how the gift-receivers will respond. (礼物接收者将如何回应也存在很大的不确定性)”能够衔接下文，符合文意。故选D项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Another issue is that you’re probably going to give a bad gift, and that bad gift might overshadow the many good gifts you’ve given. (另一个问题是，你可能会送一份糟糕的礼物，而这份糟糕的礼物可能会掩盖你送出的许多好礼物)”可知，糟糕的礼物会产生不良影响。由此可知，A项“The smell of a bad gift can delay. (一份糟糕礼物的不良影响可能会持续)”能够衔接上文，符合文意，其中bad gift是关键词。故选A项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“You might expect that a lot of well-meaning but disappointing gifts are heading your way. There can be some unease that comes with knowing that you’ll soon need to perform joy and appreciation. (你可能会预料到很多善意但令人失望的礼物正在向你走来。知道你很快就需要表现快乐和欣赏时，可能会带来一些不安)”可知，令人失望的礼物会产生糟糕的担忧。由此可知，G项“Even worse, you might worry the gift-giver will detect your insincerity and get hurt.

She had helped her dad in his workshop and knew a lot about motors, but her friends didn’t know this. One day she heard Alex and Jacob talking about their robot, Robbie. They were preparing for a big competition but Robbie wasn’t working properly. Susan was surprised by their courage, as they always seemed unpopular among the boys. She felt bad for them and wanted to help. On the school bus home, Susan sat behind Alex and Jacob, who were still trying to fix their robot. “This is impossible! The legs move before you press the switch and stop after you press the switch!” Alex said, looking at Robbie’s legs, which were not moving right. “The competition is only eight days away!” Jacob looked sad. He thought they were going to lose. “Umm, how did you connect the wires from the switch?” Susan asked quietly over their shoulders. Alex turned and gave her a cautious look. Susan smiled and asked, “Did you connect the NO wire or the NC wire to the motor?” The boys stared at her as if she had just landed from Mars. Susan gently took the robot and pointed out the wire connected to the motor. “Here’s the problem!” She explained that it was the NC wire. It means the circuit (电路) is Normally Closed. She then pulled a loose wire out of the robot and explained that it was the NO wire, which means Normally Open. “If you connect this wire instead, Robbie will walk when you press the switch.” Susan handed the robot back to Alex, who was staring at her with his mouth open. “Change the wires and see,” she said before getting off the bus. Ten minutes later, her phone rang. It was Jacob: “Your idea worked, and we're wondering if you could come over and help improve our Robbie.” Susan smiled.

But she longed to work on more odd designs that would stand out. Then she met Pollyanna Hope, a young amputee (被截肢者). “She wanted something a little different on her leg: pictures of a cartoon she loved, Peppa Pig,” said Sophie, who is now based in London. So she designed a unique leg covered in tattoo-like images of Peppa and other pigs riding a bicycle and eating ice cream. Working with Hope made Sophie realize there was a potential market for limbs. Since then, Sophie founded the Alternative Limb Project (ALP) to make artistic limbs. Her work includes an arm wrapped in sculpted snakes and a leg that looks like porcelain (瓷器) covered in a painted flowery vine. She makes about six limbs per year, always including clients’ ideas so that they receive a personal piece they can celebrate rather than hide. Of course, a fancy-looking limb won't suit everyone. For Sophie, the basis is that each limb must satisfy a combination of comfort, beauty and functionality, and pushing too hard in one direction can weaken other areas. But for amputees who appreciate novelty, Sophie has some amazing ideas. “I’d really like to make a candy-dispenser leg with colorful candies inside it” she says. “Or a cuckoo-clock leg with a wooden bird that pops out every hour.” Her goal is to fashion a striking limb. “It’ll transform the limbs from an elephant in the room into a conversation piece” 4. Why did Pollyanna Hope come to Sophie? A. She hoped to have a tailored limb. B. She intended to design a cartoon figure. C. She longed to expand the market for limbs. D. She expected to sell Sophie some odd ideas. 5. According to paragraph 3, ALP aims to ______. A boost users’ confidence B. sharpen users’ creativity C. improve Sophie’s sculpture skills D. extend Sophie’s art business 6. What is the basis for Sophie's works? A. The novelty of the pattern tops the list. B. The balance of multi-needs comes first. C. Fashion is the best policy. D. Functionality is the key. 7. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A. Sophie resolves to lead the fashion of limbs. B. Sophie plans to further transform artistic limbs. C. Amputees will feel at ease to talk about limbs. D. Amputees will have easy access to artistic limbs. C According to an idea called the “inflationary (暴涨的) multiverse”, the universe has been constantly expanding, which would have created a countless number of other universes. Collectively, these universal islands form what scientists call a “multiverse”. However, other universes may lie beyond our scientific reach, physically and philosophically. Consequently, the methodologies by which physicists might validate (验证) the multiverse and whether such validation is even possible remain unresolved inquiries. In science, hypotheses (假说) are used to propose explanations, but from hypotheses to theories, validation of predictions is essential to see whether initial assumptions are supported or disproved. Theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli says, “It is hard to write theories that survive the proof of reality. Few survive thanks to a basic idea: Do not trust your fancies. Keep only the ideas that can be tested.” Rovelli adds, “Today many physicists are wasting time trying to guess and jumping to conclusions. This approach has never worked before, and it is not working now. The multiverse might be one of those wild guesses.” Now, physicists are debating whether that problem moves the multiverse from physics to metaphysics (玄学), from the world of science to that of philosophy. Philosopher Richard Dawid believes scientists could support the multiverse hypotheses without actually finding physical support. “If we have a theory that seems to work, and have come up with nothing that works better. Chances are our idea is right,” he says. Not everyone is so cheerful, though. Sabine Hossenfelder, another theoretical physicist, thinks “Without making contact with observation, a theory isn’t part of the natural sciences, and not physics.” Some supporters of the multiverse claim they have found physical evidence. Andrei Linde insists “Our universe seems fine-tuned to be favourable to life, with a four-dimensional space in which we can live. It is certain that in an endlessly inflating multiverse, one of the universes should turn out like ours. Each universe can have different physical laws and fundamentals. Given limitless changes, a universe on which humans can be born will be born. The multiverse actually explains why we’re here. And our existence, therefore, helps explain why the multiverse is plausible.” Just as Einstein’s theory of general relativity could only be confirmed recently with a billion-dollar instrument called LIGO, scientists may eventually discover more direct evidence of the multiverse. So far, all of science has relied on testability, but those tests take time, and most theoreticians want to wait it out. They are not ready to shelve an idea like the multiverse — which could actually be the answer to life, the universe and everything — until and unless they can prove to themselves it doesn’t exist. And that day may never come. 8. What does Carlo Rovelli think of the multiverse? A. It is a crazy idea. B. It can be tested. C. It is widely accepted. D. It comes from reality. 9. What does the underlined word “plausible” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Fascinating. B. Complex. C. Essential. D. Credible. 10. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Testing the multiverse theory is a waste of time. B. The multiverse theory will be confirmed one day. C. Einstein’s theory of relativity is the answer to life. D. The multiverse research has made a breakthrough. 11. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. Mysteries of Multiverse: Fine-Tuned for Life B. Can Physicists Ever Prove the Multiverse Is Real? C. The Inflationary Multiverse: Proven Beyond Doubt D. Have Physicists Lost Their Minds in the Multiverse? D The ocean covers almost three-quarters of the planet. Were all the planet’s water placed over the United States it would form a column of liquid 132km tall. The ocean provides 3bn people with almost a fifth of their protein (making fish a bigger source of the stuff than beef). Climate and weather systems depend on the temperature patterns of the ocean and its interactions with the atmosphere. If anything ought to be too big to fail, it is the ocean. Humans have long assumed that the ocean’s size allowed them to put anything they wanted into it and to take anything they wanted out. However, changing temperatures and chemistry, overfishing and pollution have stressed its ecosystems for decades. The ocean stores more than nine-tenths of the heat trapped on Earth by greenhouse-gas emissions. Consequently, coral reefs are suffering. Scientists expect almost all corals to be gone by 2050. By the middle of the century the ocean could contain more plastic than fish by weight. Ground down into tiny pieces, it is eaten by fish and then by people, with uncertain effects on human health. Nevertheless, appetite for fish grows: almost 90% of stocks are fished either at or beyond their sustainable limits. The ocean nurtures humanity. Humanity treats it with contempt. Such self-destructive behavior demands explanation. Unarguably, the ocean being subject to a series of laws and agreements, enforcement is hard. Apart from this, two reasons stand out. One is geography. The bulk of the ocean is beyond the horizon and below the waterline. The damage being done to its health is visible in a few liminal places. But for the most part, the sea is out of sight and out of mind. It is telling that there is only a single fleeting reference to the ocean in the Paris agreement on climate change. Second, the ocean is a victim of other bigger processes. The emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere is changing the marine environment along with the rest of the planet. The ocean has warmed by 0. 7℃ since the 19th century, damaging corals and encouraging organisms to migrate towards the poles for cooler waters. Greater concentrations of carbon dioxide in the water are making it more acidic, harming creatures such as crabs and oysters, whose calcium carbonate shells suffer as marine chemistry alters. 12. What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A. The vastness of the ocean. B. The significance of the ocean. C. The ecosystem of the ocean. D. The climate of the ocean. 13. How does the author convey his message in paragraph 3? A. By listing current problems. B. By providing research data. C. By citing expert opinions. D. By comparing different ecosystems. 14. Why does the author mention “the Paris agreement on climate change” in paragraph 4? A. To show people often disobey it. B. To tell us people seldom refer to it. C. To remind us the ocean is vital to man. D. To prove ocean protection is overlooked. 15. What will the author probably write next? A. How to tap into the ocean. B. How to research into the ocean. C. How to rise to the challenges of the ocean. D. How to raise people’s environmental awareness. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Gifts are so meaningful that many believe that gifts from their romantic partner are a big way they can understand how much their partner loves them. ____16____ But in fact, gift-giving and receiving is actually the least popular love language. This leads to the question: Why do most people say that gift-giving stresses them out? Part of the problem is that occasions that involve gift-giving are filled with uncertainty. If it’s an occasion like Christmas, where people are shopping for each other at the same time, people might be nervous about whether the gift they give will be in the same category as the gift they will also receive. ____17____ Imagine that someone is showing some signs of Seasonal Affective Disorder, and you’ re considering giving him a light therapy (光疗) lamp as a gift. The receiver may possibly regard this as“just what they needed.” But what if the lamp-receiver interprets the gift as an unwelcome piece of comment on their current state? Another issue is that you’re probably going to give a bad gift, and that bad gift might overshadow the many good gifts you’ve given. ____18____ The idea, simply put, is that bad outcomes have a stronger psychological impact than comparable good outcomes. Few baseball fans remember all the ground balls that Bill Buckner fielded cleanly, but many remember the one that went through his legs. Worst of all, there’s the anxiety that comes with receiving gifts. You might expect that a lot of well-meaning but disappointing gifts are heading your way. There can be some unease that comes with knowing that you’ll soon need to perform joy and appreciation. ____19____ ____20____ When done carefully, it can be a wonderful way to communicate to loved ones that we appreciate and understand them. Gifts can absolutely draw people closer together, in a lasting way. A. The smell of a bad gift can delay. B. However, gift-giving is not all bad, of course. C. Uncertainty can also result from different categories of gifts. D. There is also great uncertainty around how the gift-receivers will respond. E. Soon you may be in a state of paying for your such kind of over performance. F. Indeed, gift-giving occasions seem like wonderful opportunities to create delight. G. Even worse, you might worry the gift-giver will detect your insincerity and get hurt. 第三部分 语言运用(共三节，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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The first day of school our professor introduced someone we didn’t know.

She had helped her dad in his workshop and knew a lot about motors, but her friends didn’t know this. One day, she heard Alex and Jacob talking about their robot, Robbie. They were preparing for a big competition but Robbie wasn’t working properly. Susan was surprised by their courage, as they always seemed unpopular among the boys. She felt bad for them and wanted to help. On the school bus home, Susan sat behind Alex and Jacob, who were still trying to fix their robot. “This is impossible! The legs move before you press the switch and stop after you press the switch!” Alex said, looking at Robbie’s legs, which were not moving right. “The competition is only eight days away!” Jacob looked sad. He thought they were going to lose. “Umm, how did you connect the wires from the switch?” Susan asked quietly over their shoulders. Alex turned and gave her a cautious look. Susan smiled and asked, “Did you connect the NO wire or the NC wire to the motor?” The boys stared at her as if she had just landed from Mars. Susan gently took the robot and pointed out the wire connected to the motor. “Here’s the problem!” She explained that it was the NC wire. It means the circuit (电路) is Normally Closed. She then pulled a loose wire out of the robot and explained that it was the NO wire, which means Normally Open. “If you connect this wire instead, Robbie will walk when you press the switch.” Susan handed the robot back to Alex, who was staring at her with his mouth open. “Change the wires and see,” she said before getting off the bus. Ten minutes later, her phone rang. It was Jacob: “Your idea worked, and we're wondering if you could come over and help improve our Robbie.” Susan smiled. She knew she had made the right choice. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1.
