Firstly, language is not just a tool for communication; it is a window into different cultures and ways of thinking. Understanding a foreign language allows us to appreciate the tiny differences and subtleties of other societies, promoting cultural empathy and global understanding. Secondly, while AI can translate languages, it cannot fully grasp the context and emotions behind human communication. Human interaction requires a level of sensitivity and adaptability that AI cannot yet replicate. Finally, foreign language skills enhance human-to-human interaction. Therefore, learning foreign languages continues to be a valuable skill in our increasingly interconnected world. Thanks for your listening! 第二节 An incident brought Jane close to me. It was a rainy day, and I had forgotten my umbrella. As I stood by the school entrance, hesitating to dash into the downpour, Jane rolled up beside me with a smile. “Need a ride?” she asked, offering me a place under her umbrella. I hesitated but accepted. As we made our way through the rain, she told stories that made me laugh, and I found myself opening up to her. It was at that moment that I realized Jane wasn’t the enemy. She was just another person trying to find her place in the world. Emily also became the facilitator of our friendship. She organized study sessions and after-school activities that we could all enjoy. Over time, the three of us became inseparable. We learned to appreciate each other’s differences and strengths. We supported each other through the highs and lows of high school, and it was through these shared experiences that we truly became harmonious with one another, proving that sometimes, the most unexpected friendships can be the most rewarding. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者在新学校的生活为线索展开，讲述了作者从孤独到逐渐融入集体，与Jane和Emily建立深厚友谊的过程。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一件小事让Jane和我亲近起来”可知，第一段可描写一件具体的事情让作者对Jane的看法发生改变，两人关系变得亲近。 ②由第二段首句内容“Emily也成为了我们友谊促成者”可知，第二段可描写Emily如何促成作者与Jane之间的友谊，三人共同度过美好的时光。 2.续写线索：忘记带伞——Jane与作者共伞——Jane讲笑话让作者开心——Emily组织活动——三人成为好友 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①打开心扉：open up /unlock one’s heart ②意识到：realize /be aware of ③欣赏：appreciate /admire 情绪类 ①犹豫：hesitate/be irresolute ②喜欢：enjoy/be fond of 【点睛】[高分句型1]. As I stood by the school entrance, hesitating to dash into the downpour, Jane rolled up beside me with a smile.（使用了as引导时间状语从句，现在分词作状语） [高分句型2]. It was at that moment that I realized Jane wasn’t the enemy.（使用了强调句） 听力原文 1. M: Hi, Dianna, it’s Scott. Can you tell our manager I won’t be coming in today? I have to visit my grandmother in the hospital. W: No problem. Send your grandmother our best wishes. 2. M: I’d like two tickets for tonight’s show. How much is a ticket? W: $8.50. And there is also a service charge of $1 per ticket. 3. M: That’s a nice sweater, Julia. W: Thanks, it’s from HighFashion.com—I always order from there. M: Some of their clothes aren’t very popular. W: I don’t care about that because everything is at least half price. But orders can take a while before I get them in the mail. 4. M: I guess I will be late for the appointment with the dentist. W: Isn’t it 10:00 a.m.? M: Yes, I only have 50 minutes and I will have to send John to the football club first. W: Take your time, honey. Mr. Jenkins will give him a lift. 5. M: How was the yesterday’s wedding reception? W: It was fantastic. Too bad you couldn’t come. M: l wish I could have gone, but I had to work. What was it like? W: It was a lot of fun. The dance floor looked like a big heart, and there were heart-shaped lantern hanging from the ceiling. 第六段材料 W: Mr. Smith, I’d like to take some time off next month. M: How long do you have in mind? W: About two weeks. My husband and I are going to travel abroad. M: Seeing as the next month is our slow season, that should not be a problem. W: Thanks a lot. I’ll ask my husband to contact the travel agency. M: Just remember to turn in all the necessary paperwork to ensure there are no problems during your absence. W: Okay. 第七段材料 M: So, how are your children doing? W: Good, but they’re pretty busy. M: Oh, I know. W: I don’t think families spend enough time together—not like we used to. M: That’s for sure. We used to do everything with our parents when we were children. We’d go to the park, things like that. W: Yeah, my dad used to play basketball with us. Now it seems that my children want to do everything with their friends. M: Oh, I know. Mine too. I can’t even get them to go to the movies with us. W: Exactly. Well, maybe you can get them to come over to my house next weekend. We could all have a barbecue. Children are usually interested if there’s food and a pool! M: OK, I’ll ask. Thanks, Mary. 第八段材料 W: What seems to be the problem? M: Well, I have got a really bad cough, a sore throat and a headache. W: How long have you had these symptoms? M: I have had them for about four days, but they have become worse since yesterday. I’m really tired, too. I couldn’t sleep well due to coughing most of the night. W: Well, it sounds like you have got the flu. Take aspirin every six hours and have a good rest. Make sure you drink plenty of water. And if you still feel unwell next week, book another appointment to see me again. M: OK. Thank you for your time. W: You’re welcome. Here is your prescription. 第九段材料 M: So what are you doing during the holidays? Any plans? W: I’m going to Thailand for 2 weeks with my parents this summer. M: That’s great! Have you visited Thailand before? W: I’ve been there before. But it will be the first time for my parents. M: Ooh. How do they feel? I have travelled to many foreign countries, like China and France. But I only took my parents with me to Mexico. It was a little stressful even though we had local guides. W: My parents will be okay as long as they have online translation and maps. We aren’t doing anything too crazy, just relaxing on the beach for a week and then a few days visiting different cities. M: That’s great. My parents aren’t so brave. They get nervous when leaving the house. How are the beaches? W: Beautiful. There are a lot more tourists than before but still breathtaking. M: I can imagine. W: So what about you? What’s your plan? M: I think I will take it easy. We spent way too much money on our last vacation. So this time we will stay at home and do nothing. 第十段材料 May I have your attention, please? I know it’s the end of the day, and everyone is eager to begin your holiday. But I want to give a short speech about the past year. Since the summer, we all have been focusing our efforts on the goal of creating three new products by Chinese New Year. Now, it’s just before Christmas, and we’ve already achieved this goal. So, as this office’s general manager, I’d like to congratulate you all first. Second, I’ve communicated with the board members over the last few days, and we have decided that everyone will be going home with a holiday gift. I still remember the extra vacation days we got last year. But by the end of today, everyone will receive a significant holiday bonus. It will be twice as much as last year. We all should be proud of our product development and sales figures. This extra payment is given for your excellent performance. But more than the money, my greatest honor was watching everyone work well together as a team. So, before we all leave for the day, our sales and marketing director will say a few words. Please, put your hands together for her… 完型解析： 【答案】21. C 22. A 23. D 24. D 25. B 26. B 27. D 28. C 29. B 30. C 31. B 32. A 33. A 34. C 35.

They are large preprogrammed units working in dangerous jobs. But the idea of putting “cobots” which work in harmony with humans into use has become a reality and has changed robotic products worldwide. Cobots include robots made of tough materials that provide support for the disabled and software-based assistants for home of online services. With their operating software updated from the Internet, these helpers will become an extension（延伸） of mobile devices. Most industrial robots are not designed to deal with unpredictable human jobs. However, by reducing robots down to desktop size and planting them with AI, the next generation of cobots will learn from us and cooperate with us better. Lightweight cobots can work in less space and share themselves with people rather than being caged off. Decreasing costs for robotic systems make them more suitable for small businesses, and their easy set-up makes them simple to deploy（利用）. Typical industrial uses for cobots include packing and machine tending. More detailed uses include cleaning dirty samples, picking plants, making tea and coffee and so on. Still, experts thought that introducing robots would lead to job losses. Some people said that 20 million industrial jobs would be lost worldwide by 2030. Actually, it was not the case. What big companies such as Germany’s Mercedes-Benz discovered was that robots alone were not intelligent enough to keep pace with the demand for special products, which still depends on a large number of skilled staff to control and push the whole progress. “Unplanned changes to production and safer interaction with humans will then require a step change in robot improvements. It has become necessary to use the new generation of cobots in people’s daily life, and cooperation（合作） should be considered as an applicable strategy. When we make people and machines cooperate, we can produce many more products on one production line,” said Markus Schaefer, head of production planning. 24. What can we know about cobots from Paragraph 2? A. They can do many boring tasks for people. B. They are still at the experimental stage. B. They are designed to serve the injured. D. They can meet a variety of needs in daily life. 25. Which of the following words can best describe the newly designed cobots? A. Complex but creative. B. High-cost but useful. C. Affordable and convenient. D. Small-sized and energy-saving. 26. What can be inferred from Schaefer’s words in the last paragraph? A. Cobots attract a large number of buyers. B. Cobots may cause rising unemployment. C. Cobots bring both benefits and disadvantages. D. Cobots promoting human-robot cooperation is a trend. 27. What is the purpose of the text? A. To stress the influence of cobots. B. To discuss the development of cobots. C. To enourage improvements in smart technology. D. To introduce some methods to improve life. C On the night of June seventeenth, happily unaware that I was now less than forty-eight hours from my little “date” with Bryan Smith, I sat down at our dining room table and listed all the questions I wanted to answer, all the points I wanted to address in my book On Writing—A Memoir of the Craft. On the eighteenth, I wrote the first four pages of the “On Writing” section. That was where my writing still stood in late July, when I decided I’d better get back to work, or at least try. My wife Tabby is the person in my life who’s most likely to say I’m working too hard, it’s time to slow down, stay away from that disgusting PowerBook for a little while. When I told her on that July morning that I thought I’d better go back to work, I expected a lecture. Instead, she asked me where I wanted to set up. She thought about it, and said: “I can lay a table for you in the back hall. There are plenty of plugins so you can have your laptop, the little printer, and a fan.” A couple of hours later, she had made me a wonderful little nest there: laptop and printer, my notes, pens, and reference materials...Standing on the corner of the desk was a framed picture of our younger son, which she had taken earlier that summer. “Is it all right?” she asked. “It’s wonderful,” I said, and hugged her. It was wonderful. So is she. That first writing session lasted an hour and forty minutes, by far the longest period I’d spent sitting upright since being struck by Bryan Smith’s car. When it was over, I was sweating and almost too tired to sit up straight in my wheelchair. And the first five hundred words were uniquely terrifying—it was as if I’d never written anything before them in my life. All my old tricks seemed to have deserted（抛弃） me. I stepped from one word to the next like a very old man finding his way across a stream on a winding line of wet stones. There was no inspiration that first afternoon, only a kind of stubborn determination and the hope that things would get better if I kept at it. There was no breakthrough that afternoon, unless it was the ordinary miracle that comes with any attempt to create something. All I know is that the words started coming a little faster after a while, then a little faster still. My back still hurt, my leg, too, but those hurts began to seem a little farther away. I started to get on top of them. There was no sense of excitement— not that day—but there was a sense of accomplishment that was almost as good. After that, things can only get better. 28. What happened to the writer on June the nineteenth? A. He had an appointment with Bryan Smith. B. He listed all the questions he wanted to answer. C. He wrote the first four pages of the “On Writing” section. D. He was struck by a vehicle driven by Bryan Smith. 29. When did the author decide to continue his writing? A. In late June. B. On June 18th. C. In late July. D. On June 17th. 30. What does the underlined sentence “I expected a lecture.” in paragraph 3 mean? A. I was expecting my wife to advise me what to write about. B. I thought my wife would talk a lot to prevent me from writing. C. I had prepared a lecture to get myself back to work. D. I was waiting for my wife to show me where to set up. 31. What made the words start coming a little faster after a while? A. All his old tricks that had come back. B. His determination to create something. C. His pains that had gone a little farther away. D. His wonderful little nest made by his wife. D If carbon dioxide (CO2) were a politician, it would be worried about its bad press. This greenhouse gas is the primary pollutant responsible for global warming. Scientists, leaders, and activists are trying to stop its production. This gas, however, also plays a key role in life on Earth. Carbon helps form the protein and DNA found in living things. In the atmosphere, it combines with two oxygen atoms to form carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is necessary for photosynthesis (光合作用) . In the process, plants use energy from the sun to turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar. In return, plants give off oxygen. As carbon dioxide concentrations increase in the atmosphere, scientists are trying to employ photosynthesis to promote plant growth. Laboratory studies show a higher concentration of the gas is making some plants grow more quickly in certain conditions, but in the wild and on outdoor farms the overall benefit is unclear. In the Netherlands, some commercial (商业的) greenhouses are experimenting with ways to send carbon dioxide released from industry into greenhouses along a particular way where plants use the extra gas as fertilizer (肥料). The first person to assume the existence of carbon dioxide was 16th-century Belgian scientist Jan Baptist van Helmont. After coal was burned, he noted, the weight of the remains was lower than the coal’s initial weight, which means some mass had been lost in the process. He was the first scientist to recognize different gases present in the air we breathe. It wasn’t until 1896 that Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius linked the carbon dioxide released from burning coal and oil to atmospheric warming. Yet, despite its being plentiful in the atmosphere, we have run short of commercially produced carbon dioxide because of rising energy costs. As a result, carbonated drink (碳酸饮料) companies have had to raise prices or reduce production. 32. What function does CO2 have according to paragraph 2? A. Saving energy. B. Increasing fertilizer. C. Supporting life. D. Commercializing agriculture. 33. Why is Jan Baptist van Helmont mentioned? A. To explain the origins of CO2. B. To tell an unknown story. C. To compare the applications of CO2. D. To show an early discovery. 34. What problem do carbonated drink companies face? A. Commercial CO2 is in short supply. B. Sales of their drinks are extremely poor. C. It’s difficult to increase their production. D. There’s too much CO2 in the atmosphere. 35. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Climate Change: Affected by CO2 B. CO2: Both an Enemy and Friend C. Greenhouse Gas: Having a Bad Press D. Carbon: Misunderstood Substance 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。 Benefits of sharing jokes as a family A well-chosen joke can have a big impact when speaking to a crowd or attempting to redirect a tense meeting. 36 Our family started regularly enjoying jokes when my son began sharing the “Joke of the Day” read on the morning announcements of his school with us at dinner. A burst of laughter prevents us from complaining about the menu. 37 The benefits of sharing jokes definitely go beyond mealtime conversation matter, though. Here are some reasons to make joking around a regular family habit: 38 Knowing a good joke can help a kid connect with other kids at the cafeteria table or start a conversation on the school bus. Enjoying jokes and practicing the art of humorous delivery in the safety of their home can give kids tools for social situations, especially if this is an area of difficulty. Jokes improve language skills. 39 Consider the learning potential in these samples from Funology.com: “What do you call a cow that eats your grass? A lawn mower.” “When is a door not a door? When it’s ajar (半开着).” Jokes encourage reading and learning. Many parents and teachers report that joke books help motivate their reluctant or struggling readers to read more. Since jokes, by design, are for sharing, reading them aloud is particularly good practice for kids who struggle with reading fluently. 40 If your child needs help remembering a difficult concept, a joke might do it. For instance, try another joke from Funology.com: “Two atoms(原子) are playing together when one tells the other, ‘I lost an electron.’ The second atom asks, ‘Are you sure?’ The first atom replies ‘I’m positive!’” A. Jokes help kids build social relationships. B. Jokes aren’t just for the public stage, though. C. Humor can even help a person deal with mood disorders. D.

Loneliness was my constant companion, a reality that pained me deeply. I was floating in a sea of anxiety, lack of companionship. Then, Emily entered my world. Our familiarity blossomed during my second week, perhaps because we sat close or had a shared task. I can’t remember how it began, but it changed everything. Emily’s warmth, humor, and approachability（和蔼可亲） were a breath of fresh air. For the first time, I sensed a possibility of belonging. However, the arrival of Jane, a girl in a wheelchair, broke my newfound balance. I first met her in class, who sat beside Emily, occupying my usual seat. Jane didn’t notice me, and I had to find another seat. It happened again and again, and I started to feel anxious. I told myself she was doing it on purpose, trying to push me out and take Emily away. But there’s a thing I had to admit that she always knew how to make people laugh. I began to hate Jane. She seemed so comfortable and confident, making me feel small. I was upset that Emily didn’t notice my unease, and I felt like I was fighting to hold onto the only thing I had. I felt powerless, like I was standing on a shaky edge. But then, Jane and I started talking. At first, it was just small talk during group discussions or quick hellos. She’d ask questions that bothered（烦恼） me, and I’d answer shortly, trying to end the conversation. But she’d let my words hang, waiting for me to fill the silence, and sometimes I did. Gradually, our conversations became less unfriendly. Jane’s sharp wit（才思智慧） and ability to command a room with her laughter started to grow on me. I found myself laughing along with the group, even when I tried to resist(抵制). 注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: An incident brought Jane close to me. Paragraph 2: Emily also became the facilitator（促成者） of our friendship. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
