We provide an exciting opportunity for volunteers to assist at Kruger — a reserve home to diverse wildlife. Volunteers will gain conservation experience and knowledge while being involved in life at the reserve, enjoying the breathtaking natural environment and making a contribution to its long-term sustainability and success. You shouldn’t expect to be involved in hands-on research or touch the animals on this project, but you’ll play an important support role, carrying out essential conservation work at the reserve. Before volunteering, you will first complete an introductory period, during which you will learn more about the work. Programs start on the first and third Mondays of every month. Your stay will last 2-12 weeks. Volunteer hours will be up to 8 hours per day. Duties & Activities & Skills ·Orientation and bush craft training; covering animal identification and behavior, dealing with potentially dangerous game, navigation and basic bush skills. ·Vegetation sampling ·Camera trapping ·Habitat assessments ·Monitoring rare and endangered species Requirements ·Volunteers aged 16-18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to participate in this program. ·All volunteers aged 16+ are required to provide a criminal background check. ·All volunteers must speak fluent English. Anyone who is interested in it can send an email at the address below or come to us in person to learn more. 1 What is the aim of the program? A. To boost South African culture. B. To develop new wildlife reserves. C. To enhance the beauty of Kruger. D. To promote wildlife protection. 2. What are the volunteers required to do? A. Conduct field research. B. Bring an adult along.

B After drawing blood and running a CT scan, the doctor asked, “What is a typical day like for you?” “I am a graduate with a tight schedule that usually keeps me at work late into the night,” I replied. Next, he turned to diet. I paused, “I only have coffee for breakfast. For lunch and dinner, I usually have fast food.” The doctor seemed aghast. He sighed heavily and continued to ask. As more questions followed about my stress levels, my unhealthy state began to sink in. It was easier to live a well-rounded life and stay healthy when I was an undergraduate. The cafeteria served healthy food options. And I had a group of friends to participate in social activities with. That all changed when I became a graduate. I lived off campus, and I didn’t have the time or energy to shop for groceries and cook. I didn’t spend as much time exercising and socializing. My drive to succeed blinded me to any potential problems with my lifestyle. Sometimes, I could feel that I was tired. But I continued on, giving my mind and body no rest, until my health problems worsened and drove me to the emergency room. That’s when the doctor peppered me with questions. He told me I had to change my lifestyle. No pill would fix my problems; eating well, exercising, and trying to minimize stress would be the only way. After that, I stopped working late into the night, and spent more time relaxing, sleeping, and preparing my own nutritious and healthy meals. Many times, I could hardly resist the urge to go back to my old routine. I placed sticky notes in my office and at home to remind myself that if I did that, I’d suffer consequences. Over time, I began to notice positive changes in my life. Now I have not only noticed improvements in my health, but I have found it easier to be productive at work. And I’m able to remain alert throughout the day. 4. What mainly caused the author’s health problems? A. Lack of exercise. B. Terrible daily routine. C. Fewer food options. D. Less interaction with others. 5. What does the underlined word “aghast” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Shocked. B. Confused. C. Relieved. D. Disturbed. 6. How was the author’s life as a graduate? A. He found no friend in social activities. B. He was short of motivation to succeed. C. He invested much effort in his career. D. He had enough time to enrich himself. 7. What message does the author deliver? A. It’s never too late to pursue one’s dream. B. Sacrificing health for one’s career is unavoidable. C. Achieving success calls for devotion and patience. D. It’s possible to strike a balance between work and life. C Most of us associate air pollution with the outdoors — from car or bus exhaust (废气) in a city to industrial waste or wildfire smoke. But you may not realize the air inside your home can be even more polluted, especially in winter. Since home is where we spend some 70 percent of our time — more if you’re one of the 35 percent of workers who do some or all business from there — these toxins (毒素) can have a larger impact on your health. The burning of oil, gas, coal, or wood constitutes the largest extent of winter’s indoor toxins. They make the eyes, nose, and throat painful and, in extreme cases, damage the central nervous system. Burning also produces fine particulate matter, or PM2.5. If these particles make it to the bloodstream or deep in the lungs, they are linked to breathing and heart diseases. While gas and wood-burning stoves have made headlines for indoor air pollution, ultrasonic humidifiers (超声波加湿器) are a lesser-known criminal. Andrea Dietrich, an environmental and water engineer at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, found in his studies that certain tap water can emit chemicals which are safe to drink in the amounts present, but that may not be the case when you breathe them in. “The lungs aren’t designed for these chemicals, which can block the lung passages and make it more difficult to breathe,” Dietrich says. Unlike outdoor pollution which is harder for individuals to control, people can reduce at least some of their indoor exposure. When cooking, turn on the range hood (抽油烟机). If it’s not too cold outside, open a window nearby. Using purified water instead of tap water can make ultrasonic humidifiers safer. Be sure to check all wood-burning heaters, fireplaces, and gas stoves often to keep them in good condition according to the manufacturers’ recommendations at fixed periods, and also ensure proper air exchange in newer-construction homes. 8. What is the common misconception of air pollution? A. It only exists outdoors. B. It is severer indoors. C. It impacts people more in winter. D. It mainly arises from industrial waste. 9. What is the main source of indoor toxins mentioned? A. Exhaust from the range hood. B. Pollutants from burning. C. PM2.5 from outdoor air. D. Chemicals from tap water. 10. Which of the following is a practical tip for improving indoor air quality? A. Purifying tap water. B. Cooking with electric stoves. C. Avoiding relocating frequently. D. Maintaining household appliances regularly. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To recommend ultrasonic humidifiers. B. To raise awareness of indoor air pollution. C. To compare indoor and outdoor air pollution. D. To introduce the sources of indoor air pollution. D By feeding a single facial image into an AI model, researchers were able to identify personality characteristics, allowing them to predict how successful someone would be in their career or even in higher education. The researchers from Ivy League schools and others used photos from LinkedIn and photo directories of several top US MBA programs to determine what is called the Big Five personality characteristics for 96,000 graduates. They then matched those personality characteristics with employment outcomes and education histories of the graduates to determine correlation between the personality and success. The findings highlight the significant impact AI could have on shaping hiring practices. Employers and job seekers are increasingly turning to generative AI to automate their search tasks, whether it’s creating a shortlist of candidates for a position or writing a cover letter and résumé. And data shows applicants can use AI to improve the chances of getting a particular job or a company finding the perfect talent match. “I think personality affects career outcomes, and to the extent we can infer personality or predict their career outcomes,” said Kelly Shue, a study co-author and finance professor from Yale School of Management. While someone changing their expressions in a photo could affect how AI perceives personality, Shue said the researchers had found “stability” in results using different photographs of the same individual. “We can also use separate algorithms (算法) to determine whether a person is smiling or not and if they’re holding that smile fixed,” she said. Shue also noted there are many “disturbing moral implications” related to organizations using AI models to determine personalities. “I do worry this could be used in a way that, to put it lightly, could make a lot of people unhappy,” she said. “Imagine using it in a hiring setting or as part of university admissions. A firm is trying to hire the best possible workers, and now in addition to screening you on standard stuff, such as educational background and work experience, they’re going to screen you on your personality.” “As AI continues to influence hiring practices, this research invites further exploration into its ethical, practical, and strategic considerations,” the study states. 12. What can we learn about the AI model? A. It helps perfect job performance. B. It ensures academic achievements. C. It can identify personality from résumés. D. It can predict career success from facial images. 13. What can be concluded from paragraph 5? A. AI results remain stable though expressions change. B. AI’s accuracy improves with multiple photos. C. AI’s algorithms need continually updating. D. AI cannot process different expressions. 14. What is Kelly Shue’s attitude towards using AI for career predictions? A. Concerned. B. Tolerant. C. Appreciative. D. Uncaring. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. The Role of AI in Modern Education B. AI and the Future of Personality Analysis C. Generative AI: The Challenges of AI in Hiring Practices D. Facial Images and AI: A New Tool for Career Predictions 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Microgreens, which are grown indoors and harvested after the first set of true leaves shows, are trendy and fun to grow. There are a lot of varieties of microgreens, from cauliflower to kohlrabi. And they taste great too. ____16____ Tens of thousands of articles have been published about their potential as "functional foods" that offer more health benefits than mature vegetables. How do you grow great microgreens? Choose seeds from a reputable company. ____17____ Do your homework: some seeds are more likely to suffer from disease, and you need to avoid planting anything from the nightshade family which can make you sick if you eat the raw. Soak your seeds if required plant and cover them with anything that excludes light during germination — the stage when the seeds sprout (发芽) and begin to grow. Francesco Di Gioia, assistant professor of vegetable crop science at Pennsylvania State University, recommends using a peat-based soil. ____18____ When we dig it up, we will lose unique ecosystems and release CO2 into the atmosphere. So, many commercial growers use materials made from coconut husks instead. ____19____ An LED light is best, but a window will do. Regular watering is important but do it from the bottom: a seed tray with holes in for drainage is ideal. True leaves start to appear after the first leaves. ____20____ Cut the stem halfway with a pair of scissors when you need a serving, wash them well and enjoy. A. They aren’t just for hobbyists. B. However, it is a limited resource. C. Supposedly, it serves as an ideal seedbed. D. Poor seed quality can lead to abnormal root development. E. Within 7 to 10 days, the microgreens will be ready for harvest. F. After the seeds have sprouted, you need to provide light to your crops. G. They have earned a reputation for being the superheroes of the nutrition world. 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 William and Betty could be the luckiest couple in the country.

Our African overland journey gifted us such a moment — one when a car stuck in the sand and the helping hands taught us more about Mozambique’s heart than any guidebook ever could. That magical experience — strangers becoming helpers, and anxiety turning into joy — showed me Africa’s warm heart forever. It was the tenth day of our ambitious 101-day overland journey across Africa in our vehicle. As inexperienced adventurers with two kids—our boys aged two and four — we’d already faced doubtful relatives who thought crossing Africa with preschoolers was madness and would definitely be full of trouble. Yet here we were, driving away from Johannesburg’s urban sprawl into Mozambique’s golden wilderness, determined to prove that wonder outweighs worry. The late afternoon sun painted everything in honeyed light as we followed a hand-carved wooden sign reading “Campsite →”. Palm fronds whispered overhead, their shadows stretching like fingers across the narrow sand track. Through open windows drifted the Indian Ocean’s salty breath and fishermen’s melodic calls echoing from unseen shores. The amazing view totally lived up to our expectations. And our two boys also behaved perfectly well. Everything went on so smoothly and perfectly that I almost wanted to call the doubtful relatives and share with them our wonderful trip. But paradise soon turned dangerous. As we drove across the desert, our wheels started slipping into the deepening sand, the vehicle moving like a ship in soft waves. Jay held the steering wheel tighter, his fingers whitening as our speed dropped to a crawl (爬行), his whispered “Not now, not here” drowned by our boys’ curious chorus: “Daddy’s truck is dancing!” This was precisely the disaster our doubtful relatives had predicted when we’d announced traveling across Africa with preschoolers. 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。 And here we were, proving them right. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When we were pacing around the car scratching (挠) our heads, some local kids rushed over. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二英语 考生注意： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将考生号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有2分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。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。 例：How much is the shirt?

The cafeteria served healthy food options. And I had a group of friends to participate in social activities with. That all changed when I became a graduate. I lived off campus, and I didn’t have the time or energy to shop for groceries and cook. I didn’t spend as much time exercising and socializing. My drive to succeed blinded me to any potential problems with my lifestyle. Sometimes, I could feel that I was tired. But I continued on, giving my mind and body no rest, until my health problems worsened and drove me to the emergency room. That’s when the doctor peppered me with questions. He told me I had to change my lifestyle. No pill would fix my problems; eating well, exercising, and trying to minimize stress would be the only way. After that, I stopped working late into the night, and spent more time relaxing, sleeping, and preparing my own nutritious and healthy meals. Many times, I could hardly resist the urge to go back to my old routine. I placed sticky notes in my office and at home to remind myself that if I did that, I’d suffer consequences. Over time, I began to notice positive changes in my life. Now I have not only noticed improvements in my health, but I have found it easier to be productive at work. And I’m able to remain alert throughout the day. 4. What mainly caused the author’s health problems? A. Lack of exercise. B. Terrible daily routine. C. Fewer food options. D. Less interaction with others. 5. What does the underlined word “aghast” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Shocked. B. Confused. C. Relieved. D. Disturbed. 6. How was the author’s life as a graduate? A. He found no friend in social activities. B. He was short of motivation to succeed. C. He invested much effort in his career. D. He had enough time to enrich himself. 7. What message does the author deliver? A. It’s never too late to pursue one’s dream. B. Sacrificing health for one’s career is unavoidable. C. Achieving success calls for devotion and patience. D. It’s possible to strike a balance between work and life. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7.

But you may not realize the air inside your home can be even more polluted, especially in winter. Since home is where we spend some 70 percent of our time — more if you’re one of the 35 percent of workers who do some or all business from there — these toxins (毒素) can have a larger impact on your health. The burning of oil, gas, coal, or wood constitutes the largest extent of winter’s indoor toxins. They make the eyes, nose, and throat painful and, in extreme cases, damage the central nervous system. Burning also produces fine particulate matter, or PM2.5. If these particles make it to the bloodstream or deep in the lungs, they are linked to breathing and heart diseases. While gas and wood-burning stoves have made headlines for indoor air pollution, ultrasonic humidifiers (超声波加湿器) are a lesser-known criminal. Andrea Dietrich, an environmental and water engineer at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, found in his studies that certain tap water can emit chemicals which are safe to drink in the amounts present, but that may not be the case when you breathe them in. “The lungs aren’t designed for these chemicals, which can block the lung passages and make it more difficult to breathe,” Dietrich says. Unlike outdoor pollution which is harder for individuals to control, people can reduce at least some of their indoor exposure. When cooking, turn on the range hood (抽油烟机). If it’s not too cold outside, open a window nearby. Using purified water instead of tap water can make ultrasonic humidifiers safer. Be sure to check all wood-burning heaters, fireplaces, and gas stoves often to keep them in good condition according to the manufacturers’ recommendations at fixed periods, and also ensure proper air exchange in newer-construction homes. 8. What is the common misconception of air pollution? A. It only exists outdoors. B. It is severer indoors. C. It impacts people more in winter. D. It mainly arises from industrial waste. 9. What is the main source of indoor toxins mentioned? A. Exhaust from the range hood. B. Pollutants from burning. C. PM2.5 from outdoor air. D. Chemicals from tap water. 10. Which of the following is a practical tip for improving indoor air quality? A. Purifying tap water. B. Cooking with electric stoves. C. Avoiding relocating frequently. D. Maintaining household appliances regularly. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To recommend ultrasonic humidifiers. B. To raise awareness of indoor air pollution. C. To compare indoor and outdoor air pollution. D. To introduce the sources of indoor air pollution. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出，许多人认为空气污染主要存在于室外，但实际上室内的空气污染可能更严重，尤其是在冬季。文章介绍了室内空气污染的来源以及减少室内空气污染的实用建议。 8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Most of us associate air pollution with the outdoors—from car or bus exhaust (废气) in a city to industrial waste or wildfire smoke. But you may not realize the air inside your home can be even more polluted, especially in winter. (我们大多数人将空气污染与户外联系在一起，从城市中的汽车或公共汽车尾气到工业废物或野火烟雾。但你可能没有意识到，家里的空气可能更受污染，尤其是在冬天)”可知，常见的误解是空气污染只存在于户外，故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The burning of oil, gas, coal, or wood constitutes the largest extent of winter’s indoor toxins. (石油、天然气、煤炭或木材的燃烧构成了冬季室内毒素的最大来源)”可知，文章提到的主要室内毒素来源是燃烧产生的污染物，故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Be sure to check all wood-burning heaters, fireplaces, and gas stoves often to keep them in good condition according to the manufacturers’ recommendations at fixed periods, and also ensure proper air exchange in newer-construction homes. (确保根据制造商的建议定期检查所有木材燃烧加热器、壁炉和燃气炉，保持它们处于良好状态，并确保新建房屋中有适当的空气交换)”可知，定期维护家用电器是改善室内空气质量的实用建议之一，故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Most of us associate air pollution with the outdoors—from car or bus exhaust (废气) in a city to industrial waste or wildfire smoke.

The researchers from Ivy League schools and others used photos from LinkedIn and photo directories of several top US MBA programs to determine what is called the Big Five personality characteristics for 96,000 graduates. They then matched those personality characteristics with employment outcomes and education histories of the graduates to determine correlation between the personality and success. The findings highlight the significant impact AI could have on shaping hiring practices. Employers and job seekers are increasingly turning to generative AI to automate their search tasks, whether it’s creating a shortlist of candidates for a position or writing a cover letter and résumé. And data shows applicants can use AI to improve the chances of getting a particular job or a company finding the perfect talent match. “I think personality affects career outcomes, and to the extent we can infer personality or predict their career outcomes,” said Kelly Shue, a study co-author and finance professor from Yale School of Management. While someone changing their expressions in a photo could affect how AI perceives personality, Shue said the researchers had found “stability” in results using different photographs of the same individual. “We can also use separate algorithms (算法) to determine whether a person is smiling or not and if they’re holding that smile fixed,” she said. Shue also noted there are many “disturbing moral implications” related to organizations using AI models to determine personalities. “I do worry this could be used in a way that, to put it lightly, could make a lot of people unhappy,” she said. “Imagine using it in a hiring setting or as part of university admissions. A firm is trying to hire the best possible workers, and now in addition to screening you on standard stuff, such as educational background and work experience, they’re going to screen you on your personality.” “As AI continues to influence hiring practices, this research invites further exploration into its ethical, practical, and strategic considerations,” the study states. 12. What can we learn about the AI model? A It helps perfect job performance. B. It ensures academic achievements. C. It can identify personality from résumés. D. It can predict career success from facial images. 13. What can be concluded from paragraph 5? A. AI results remain stable though expressions change. B. AI’s accuracy improves with multiple photos. C. AI’s algorithms need continually updating. D. AI cannot process different expressions. 14. What is Kelly Shue’s attitude towards using AI for career predictions? A. Concerned. B. Tolerant. C. Appreciative. D. Uncaring. 15. What can be the best title for the text? A. The Role of AI in Modern Education B. AI and the Future of Personality Analysis C. Generative AI: The Challenges of AI in Hiring Practices D. Facial Images and AI: A New Tool for Career Predictions 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章介绍了研究人员如何通过AI模型分析面部图像来识别个性特征，并预测个人在职业和教育中的成功概率。同时，文章也探讨了这种技术可能带来的道德和伦理问题。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“By feeding a single facial image into an AI model, researchers were able to identify personality characteristics, allowing them to predict how successful someone would be in their career or even in higher education. (通过将单张面部图像输入AI模型，研究人员能够识别个性特征，从而预测某人在职业或高等教育中会有多成功)”可知，AI模型可以通过面部图像预测职业成功，故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“While someone changing their expressions in a photo could affect how AI perceives personality, Shue said the researchers had found ‘stability’ in results using different photographs of the same individual. (尽管某人在照片中改变表情可能会影响AI对个性的感知，但Shue表示，研究人员在使用同一个人的不同照片时发现了结果的“稳定性”)”可知，尽管表情可能改变，但AI的结果仍然保持稳定，故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“Shue also noted there are many “disturbing moral implications” related to organizations using AI models to determine personalities. “I do worry this could be used in a way that, to put it lightly, could make a lot of people unhappy,” she said. (Shue还指出，组织使用AI模型来确定个性存在许多“令人不安的道德含义”。她说：“我确实担心这可能会以一种，轻描淡写地说，让很多人不开心的方式被使用。”)”可知，Kelly Shue对使用AI进行职业预测持担忧态度，故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“As AI continues to influence hiring practices, this research invites further exploration into its ethical, practical, and strategic considerations(随着AI继续影响招聘实践，这项研究邀请人们进一步探索其伦理、实践和战略考虑)”可知，文章的最佳标题是D项“面部图像和AI：职业预测的新工具”。故选D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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Microgreens, which are grown indoors and harvested after the first set of true leaves shows, are trendy and fun to grow. There are a lot of varieties of microgreens, from cauliflower to kohlrabi. And they taste great too. ____16____ Tens of thousands of articles have been published about their potential as "functional foods" that offer more health benefits than mature vegetables. How do you grow great microgreens? Choose seeds from a reputable company. ____17____ Do your homework: some seeds are more likely to suffer from disease, and you need to avoid planting anything from the nightshade family which can make you sick if you eat the raw. Soak your seeds if required, plant and cover them with anything that excludes light during germination — the stage when the seeds sprout (发芽) and begin to grow. Francesco Di Gioia, assistant professor of vegetable crop science at Pennsylvania State University, recommends using a peat-based soil. ____18____ When we dig it up, we will lose unique ecosystems and release CO2 into the atmosphere. So, many commercial growers use materials made from coconut husks instead. ____19____ An LED light is best, but a window will do. Regular watering is important but do it from the bottom: a seed tray with holes in for drainage is ideal. True leaves start to appear after the first leaves. ____20____ Cut the stem halfway with a pair of scissors when you need a serving, wash them well and enjoy. A. They aren’t just for hobbyists. B. However, it is a limited resource. C. Supposedly, it serves as an ideal seedbed. D. Poor seed quality can lead to abnormal root development. E. Within 7 to 10 days, the microgreens will be ready for harvest. F. After the seeds have sprouted, you need to provide light to your crops. G.

What 43. were 44. and 45. where 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了哈尔滨作为东道主的成功之处，以及该城市在冬季旅游方面的潜力。 【36题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：迄今为止，哈尔滨亚洲冬季运动会已被视为无与伦比的成功。据亚洲奥林匹克理事会第一副会长福智霆称，凭借主办城市的自然环境，主办城市有潜力将自己转变为一个全球冬季旅游中心。固定短语have the potential to do sth.表示“有潜力做某事”，所以空处应用动词不定式形式作后置定语。故填to transform。 【37题详解】 考查动词的时态和语态。句意：2023年7月8日，哈尔滨被任命为洲际体育盛会的主办城市，留给这座城市准备活动的时间仅为18个月，与通常组织大型国际体育赛事所需的几年时间相比，这是一个极其短的时间框架。根据时间状语on July 8, 2023可知，此处需用一般过去时，且哈尔滨应该是被指派的，应该使用被动语态。故填was appointed。 【38题详解】 考查副词。句意：2023年7月8日，哈尔滨被任命为洲际体育盛会的主办城市，留给这座城市准备活动的时间仅为18个月，与通常组织大型国际体育赛事所需的几年时间相比，这是一个极其短的时间框架。此处需用副词修饰形容词short，从而充当状语。dramatic的副词形式是dramatically，故填dramatically。 【39题详解】 考查现在分词作状语。句意：福智霆称赞这一成就堪称奇迹，并强调运动会的遗产将为当地居民带来长期利益。本句已经存在位于谓语lauded，emphasize需要作非谓语，此处Timothy与emphasize之间是主动关系，需用现在分词作状语。故填emphasizing。 【40题详解】 考查介词。句意：如果没有运动会的刺激，这些发展可能需要更长的时间才能实现。根据句意，此处需用介词without，表示“如果没有”，句首单词首字母大写。故填Without。 【41题详解】 考查过去分词作后置定语。句意：为运动会建造的所有设施现在都正在移交给哈尔滨的居民使用。句子已经存在谓语are being handed over，所以construct需要作非谓语动词，此处facilities与construct之间是被动关系，需用过去分词作后置定语。故填constructed。 【42题详解】 考查主语从句。句意：举办亚洲冬季运动会更具挑战性的是，亚洲大部分人口居住在热带国家。此处引导主语从句，从句中缺少主语，且无数字范围限制，需用连接词what引导从句，句首单词首字母大写。故填What。 【43题详解】 考查动词的时态。句意：最初，当亚洲奥林匹克理事会宣布哈尔滨为主办城市时，存在对极端寒冷条件的广泛担忧。根据时间状语从句when the Olympic Council of Asia announced Harbin as the host city可知，此处需用一般过去时。且主语是concerns，be动词使用were。故填were。 【44题详解】 考查连词。句意：交通、接待，并且最重要的是，哈尔滨是一个非常美丽的城市，使它成为一个人们渴望参观一些地点并探索历史的地方。结合句意分析，此处需用并列连词“and”，意思是交通、接待和城市环境都是很重要的。故填and。 【45题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：交通、接待，最重要的是，哈尔滨是一个非常美丽的城市，使它成为一个人们渴望参观一些地点并探索历史的地方。此处引导定语从句，修饰先行词place，从句中缺少地点状语，需用关系副词where引导从句。故填where。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，你校将举办以Should Traditional Chinese Medicine Be Promoted Globally?为题的英语演讲比赛。请你写一篇演讲稿，内容包括： 1.你的观点； 2.说明理由。 注意：1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Should Traditional Chinese Medicine Be Promoted Globally? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Should Traditional Chinese Medicine Be Promoted Globally?

Our African overland journey gifted us such a moment — one when a car stuck in the sand and the helping hands taught us more about Mozambique’s heart than any guidebook ever could. That magical experience — strangers becoming helpers, and anxiety turning into joy — showed me Africa’s warm heart forever. It was the tenth day of our ambitious 101-day overland journey across Africa in our vehicle. As inexperienced adventurers with two kids—our boys aged two and four — we’d already faced doubtful relatives who thought crossing Africa with preschoolers was madness and would definitely be full of trouble. Yet here we were, driving away from Johannesburg’s urban sprawl into Mozambique’s golden wilderness, determined to prove that wonder outweighs worry. The late afternoon sun painted everything in honeyed light as we followed a hand-carved wooden sign reading “Campsite →”. Palm fronds whispered overhead, their shadows stretching like fingers across the narrow sand track. Through open windows drifted the Indian Ocean’s salty breath and fishermen’s melodic calls echoing from unseen shores. The amazing view totally lived up to our expectations. And our two boys also behaved perfectly well. Everything went on so smoothly and perfectly that I almost wanted to call the doubtful relatives and share with them our wonderful trip. But paradise soon turned dangerous. As we drove across the desert, our wheels started slipping into the deepening sand, the vehicle moving like a ship in soft waves. Jay held the steering wheel tighter, his fingers whitening as our speed dropped to a crawl (爬行), his whispered “Not now, not here” drowned by our boys’ curious chorus: “Daddy’s truck is dancing!” This was precisely the disaster our doubtful relatives had predicted when we’d announced traveling across Africa with preschoolers. 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。 And here we were, proving them right. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When we were pacing around the car scratching (挠) our heads, some local kids rushed over. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: And here we were, proving them right. Panic began to set in as we tried to free our vehicle. We pushed and pulled, but the wheels only dug deeper into the sand. The boys, sensing our distress, grew quiet, which was unusual for them. Jay tried to stay calm, explaining to the kids that sometimes even big trucks need a little help. But as the sun dipped lower and the shadows stretched longer, our hope seemed to fade. It was then that we realized we might need more than just our own strength to get out of this mess. Paragraph 2: When we were pacing around the car scratching our heads, some local kids rushed over. They were barefoot and smiling, eager to help. Soon, a few adults from a nearby village joined them. With their guidance, we used branches to create a makeshift ramp and placed them under the wheels. The villagers pushed with all their might, and slowly, our vehicle began to move. As we finally pulled free, the kids cheered, and the adults smiled warmly. In that moment, we felt a deep sense of gratitude and connection. The unexpected help turned our anxiety into joy, and we realized that the true spirit of Africa was not just in the landscapes, but in the kindness of its people. 【解析】 【导语】本文以一次非洲之旅为线索展开，讲述了作者一家在非洲莫桑比克的沙漠中遇到汽车陷入沙地的困境，以及当地人的帮助让他们感受到非洲温暖人心的故事，展现了旅行中意外的温暖与人与人之间的善意。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“而我们却在这里，证明了他们的担忧是正确的。”可知，第一段可描写作者一家陷入困境后的感受和尝试解决问题的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我们围着车挠头时，一些当地孩子跑了过来。”可知，第二段可描写当地孩子以及其他人对作者一家的帮助以及作者的感悟。 2. 续写线索：喜欢冒险——带着孩子穿越非洲——陷入困境——尝试解决——得到帮助——感悟 3. 词汇激活： 行为类： ①意识到：realize/be aware ②放置：place/put ③帮助：help/assist/aid④ 情绪类： ①惊慌：panic/distress ②安静：quiet/silent ③感激：gratitude/appreciation ④喜悦：joy/happiness 【点睛】【高级句型1】The boys, sensing our distress, grew quiet, which was unusual for them.
