I was seven years old. And I was with my father and mother, at a Chinese restaurant in Boro Park, Brooklyn. That was the first Chinese restaurant I ever ate at. I was always given food from the adults’ orders. I’m not sure when it was, but the time did come when I had my first order — Won-Ton soup, egg rolls and spare ribs. That made me excited. My father seemed to know the Chinese waiter, a young guy; his name was Jimmy. I remember being surprised that a Chinese man could have an American name. Some months later, my father took me to a restaurant in Manhattan’s Chinatown called The Rathskeller on Mott Street. This was my first time in Chinatown and I was very impressed by how different it was from Boro Park. We went there a few times. I just couldn’t have enough of the food there. In 1951, I was sent to work in the Hospital Treasurer’s Office at Letterman Army Hospital. A colleague had an uncle who was a waiter at The Far East Cafe on Grant Avenue in the heart of San Francisco’s Chinatown. Once a week, a group from the office would go there for lunch and my colleague’s uncle would take good care of us. My favorite dish was Tomato Beef Chow Mein. It wasn’t until about 23 years later, in 1974, that I had my next serious relationship with the cuisine (菜肴) of China. I was lucky to take some cooking lessons provided by a famous Chinese restaurant’s chef. Then my life entered a new phase (阶段). I didn’t know it then, but some time later, it became clear to me that Chinese food would follow me through the days of my life. 24. What happened during the author’s first experience at a Chinese restaurant? A. He fell in love with Chinese food. B. He was praised for his good behavior. C. He was allowed to order his own food. D. He became familiar with the Chinese waiter. 25. What did the author most probably think of The Rathskeller? A. The food there suited his taste. B. It provided quality customer service. C. The environment there was pleasant. D. It offered a chance to learn foreign cultures. 26. What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph? A. He knew Chinese table manners well. B. Chinese food had a lasting influence on him. C. He formed a close friendship with a chef. D. A famous chef helped him run a Chinese restaurant. 27. How is the text mainly developed? A. By using data. B. By analyzing causes. C. By making comparisons. D. By following the order of time. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在中国餐馆就餐的经历以及中餐对作者的持久影响。 24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“That was the first Chinese restaurant I ever ate at. I was always given food from the adults’ orders.(那是我吃过的第一家中餐馆。大人们总是给我点吃的)”和第二段中“I’m not sure when it was, but the time did come when I had my first order — Won-Ton soup, egg rolls and spare ribs.(我不确定是什么时候，但我第一次点餐的时候确实来了——馄饨汤、蛋卷和排骨)”可知，作者第一次去中餐馆时被允许自己点餐，故选C。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Some months later, my father took me to a restaurant in Manhattan’s Chinatown called The Rathskeller on Mott Street. This was my first time in Chinatown and I was very impressed by how different it was from Boro Park. We went there a few times. I just couldn’t have enough of the food there.(几个月后，父亲带我去了曼哈顿唐人街莫特街的一家名为The Rathskeller的餐馆。这是我第一次来唐人街，我对它与Boro Park的不同印象深刻。我们去了几次。我就是吃不饱那里的食物)”可知，作者去了The Rathskeller餐馆几次，觉得那里的食物总是吃不够，由此推知作者最可能认为The Rathskeller的食物符合自己的胃口，以至于怎么吃都不够，故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I didn’t know it then, but some time later, it became clear to me that Chinese food would follow me through the days of my life.(当时我并不知道，但一段时间后，我清楚地意识到，中餐将伴随我的一生)”可推知，中国食物对作者有持久的影响。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The year was 1937.(那一年是1937年)”；第三段“Some months later, my father took me to a restaurant in Manhattan’s Chinatown called The Rathskeller on Mott Street.(几个月后，父亲带我去了曼哈顿唐人街莫特街的一家名为The Rathskeller的餐馆)”；第四段“In 1951, I was sent to work in the Hospital Treasurer’s Office at Letterman Army Hospital.(1951年，我被派到莱特曼陆军医院的医院财务办公室工作)”以及最后一段“It wasn’t until about 23 years later, in 1974, that I had my next serious relationship with the cuisine (菜肴) of China.( 直到大约23年后的1974年，我才与中国菜有了第二次真正的接触)”可推知，文章主要是按照时间的顺序展开。故选D。 C Wherever we go, we are surrounded by history. Across the globe, cultural heritage is passed down through generations. It is in the buildings and structures around us. It is in the arts and artifacts (手工艺品 ) we treasure. It lives in the languages we speak and the stories we tell. But today, it is under attack as never before. Not only is the damage of time intimidating our cultural heritage, but wars, climate change, globalization and tourism are all exacting a heavy price. Technology is now the most important weapon in the battle. Here’s how technology is preserving our cultural heritage. As you can imagine, creating the replicas (复制品 ) via crowdsourced 2D images is extremely time-consuming. Increasingly, artificial intelligence (AI) is being used to do all the required sourcing, allowing millions of images to be stored in a matter of hours. AI will also make restoration-and-preservation of existing cultural heritage far easier and much better than former methods. Virtual reality (VR) technology will play a leading role in preserving our cultural heritage in the coming years. Many of the most important sites and architecture are easily damaged. Human interaction with these locations is doing a great deal of harm. Wastes left could be seen everywhere, causing many problems. As more cultural heritage sites and objects are digitally mapped and recorded, VR technology will increasingly become the way that people experience them. We’ll all eventually be able to walk through places, look at and touch artifacts and works of art without ever seeing them with our own eyes. Finally, our cultural heritage will be preserved via technology. Efforts in research, innovation (创新), data sharing and project work will help promote and preserve the cultural heritage of countries all across the world. 28. What does the underlined word “intimidating” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Fading. B. Preserving. C. Recording. D. Threatening. 29. How does VR help to preserve cultural heritage? A. By recycling huge amounts of waste. B. By stopping visitors touching artifacts. C. By reducing human effects on the sites. D. By educating people about the sites’ importance. 30. What is the author’s attitude to technology in preserving the cultural heritage? A. Positive. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Unsupportive. 31. Which can be the best title for this passage? A. How Technology Changes Arts B. What Cultural Heritage Means to Us C. Prepare for an Innovation in Technology D. Preserve the Ancient with the Advanced 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了现代技术（AI和VR）怎样应用在文化遗产的保护上。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“But today, it is under attack as never before. Not only are the damages of time intimidating our cultural heritage, but wars, climate change, globalization and tourism are all exacting a heavy price.”（但今天，它受到了前所未有的攻击。时间的破坏不仅intimidating我们的文化遗产，而且战争、气候变化、全球化和旅游业都在付出沉重的代价。）可知，文化遗产受到前所未有的攻击，冲突，气候变化，全球化和旅游业都在付出沉重的代价，not only …but also…连接并列结构，此处讲述对文化遗产的破坏，因此推断时间的破坏威胁着文化遗产。故可猜测，划线单词为“威胁”的意思，结合选项D项意思一致。故选D项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“As more cultural heritage sites and objects are digitally mapped and recorded, VR technology will increasingly become the way that people experience them. We’ll all eventually be able to walk through places, look at and touch artifacts and works of art without ever seeing them with our own eyes.”（随着越来越多的文化遗址和文物被数字化测绘和记录，VR技术将越来越多地成为人们体验它们的方式。我们最终都将能够在各个地方走动，观看和触摸人工制品和艺术作品，而不用亲眼看到它们。）可推知，VR技术可以模拟出这些文化遗产让我们感受而不用去现场，从而减少人类对文化遗产的影响以及破坏，以便保护这些文化遗产。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Finally, our cultural heritage will be preserved via technology. Efforts in research, innovation (创新), data sharing and project work will help promote and preserve the cultural heritage of countries all across the world.”（最后，我们的文化遗产将通过技术得到保护。在研究、创新、数据共享和项目工作方面的努力将有助于促进和保护世界各国的文化遗产。）可推知，作者对文化遗产保护中技术的应用持积极肯定的态度。故选A项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Here’s how technology is preserving our cultural heritage.”（以下是科技如何保护我们的文化遗产。)以及文章最后一段“Finally, our cultural heritage will be preserved via technology. Efforts in research, innovation (创新), data sharing and project work will help promote and preserve the cultural heritage of countries all across the world.”（最后，我们的文化遗产将通过技术得到保护。研究、创新、数据共享和项目工作的努力将有助于促进和保护世界各国的文化遗产。）可知，本文主要介绍现代技术应用在文化遗产的保护上。而D项“Preserve the Ancient with the Advanced(用先进的技术保护古代)”切合文意。故选D项。 D Over a decade ago, the science fiction series Black Mirror showed a story about using artificial intelligence to bring back loved ones. Thanks to technological advancement, the latest AI technology brings hope of recreating loved ones through virtual form. Recently, it was revealed that renowned musician Tino Bao had created a digital version of his daughter, who in 2021 passed away due to a rare disease at the age of 22. With the help of Xiaoice, Microsoft Asia’s AI branch based in China, Bao was able to recreate his daughter Bao Rong as an AI-powered virtual figure. Tino Bao, his family and the team went to great lengths to piece together pictures, audio-visual recordings, and narrated memories of Rong. After thousands of trials and errors, they presented the life-like digital human who speaks in both Mandarin and English. Bao has finally launched a company to bring the technological miracle to other families experiencing such loss. However, this technological achievement has also been accompanied by many controversies. The idea of bringing back a loved one through AI may seem comforting. Still, researchers caution that constantly interacting with an AI version of a deceased loved one could potentially affect the natural grieving process, leaving individuals stuck in a state of denial. This could lead to prolonged grief and other mental health issues. Furthermore, there’s a risk that people may become overly dependent on the technology, prioritizing their interactions with the AI version over forming new, real-life relationships. With the case of Bao Rong out in the open, AI resurrection (复活) has become a business. From simple “talking pictures” that sound nothing like the loved ones to deep fake videos of actors speaking with the faces of those who passed away, the lower end of the market is more “artificial” than “intelligent”. Therefore, it is crucial to establish proper regulations and ethical standards to ensure that the use of AI-resurrection technology is safe and responsible. 32. Why does the author mention Black Mirror? A. To advertise Microsoft’s virtual products. B. To lead to the discussion about AI resurrection. C. To prove the predictive power of science fiction. D. To highlight the advancement of artificial intelligence. 33. Which of the following aspects is the primary focus of paragraph 2? A. The popularity of AI-resurrection technology. B. Reasons for making a digital version of Bao Rong. C. Challenges of developing a life-like digital human. D The process of creating an AI-powered virtual figure. 34. What can we learn about AI-resurrection technology from paragraph 3? A. It still has some technical limitations. B. It helps people build new real-life relationships. C. It can be a person’s obstacle to recovering from sadness. D. It enables individuals to preserve good memories of loved ones. 35. What does the author suggest people do? A. Strengthen the management of the technology. B. Apply the technology to making pictures and videos. C. Put the technology into the market as soon as possible. D. Educate the public about the potential risks of technology. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。得益于技术进步，最新的人工智能技术带来了通过虚拟形式重现亲人的希望。然而，通过人工智能复活已故亲人也伴随着许多争议。因此，要建立适当的法规和道德标准，以确保人工智能复活技术的使用是安全和负责任的。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段内容“Over a decade ago, the science fiction series Black Mirror showed a story about using artificial intelligence to bring back loved ones. Thanks to technological advancement, the latest AI technology brings hope of recreating loved ones through virtual form. (十多年前，科幻连续剧《黑镜》讲述了一个利用人工智能带回亲人的故事。得益于技术进步，最新的人工智能技术带来了通过虚拟形式重现亲人的希望。)”可知，作者提到《黑镜》是为了引出话题，即关于人工智能复活的讨论。故选B。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“Recently, it was revealed that renowned musician Tino Bao had created a digital version of his daughter, who in 2021 passed away due to a rare disease at the age of 22. With the help of Xiaoice, Microsoft Asia’s AI branch based in China, Bao was able to recreate his daughter Bao Rong as an AI-powered virtual figure. Tino Bao, his family and the team went to great lengths to piece together pictures, audio-visual recordings, and narrated memories of Rong. After thousands of trials and errors, they presented the life-like digital human who speaks in both Mandarin and English. (最近，据透露，著名音乐家包小柏为他的女儿创作了一个数字版本。2021年，女儿因一种罕见疾病去世，享年22岁。在微软亚洲人工智能中国分公司Xiaoice的帮助下，包小柏将女儿包容重新塑造成一个人工智能虚拟人物。包小柏、他的家人和团队竭尽全力拼凑出容的照片、音像记录和叙述记忆。在经历了数千次试错之后，他们展示了一个会说普通话和英语的数字人。)”可知，本段主要讲了包小柏和家人及其团队是如何创建人工智能驱动的虚拟人物的，即创造过程。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Still, researchers caution that constantly interacting with an AI version of a deceased loved one could potentially affect the natural grieving process, leaving individuals stuck in a state of denial. This could lead to prolonged grief and other mental health issues. (尽管如此，研究人员警告说，不断与已故亲人的人工智能版本互动可能会影响自然的悲伤过程，使个人陷入否认状态。这可能会导致长期的悲伤和其他心理健康问题。)”可知，人工智能复活技术可能影响一个人从悲伤中恢复。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Therefore, it is crucial to establish proper regulations and ethical standards to ensure that the use of AI-resurrection technology is safe and responsible. (因此，至关重要的是要建立适当的法规和道德标准，以确保人工智能复活技术的使用是安全和负责任的。)”可知，作者建议人们要加强技术管理，以确保人工智能复活技术的使用是安全和负责任的。故选A。 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。 The Heimlich Maneuver Guideline In the early 1970s, Henry J.

B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了何时使用海姆立克急救法以及如何实施。 【36题详解】 上文“In the early 1970s, Henry J. Heimlich, MD, developed a first aid technique for choking, known as the Heimlich maneuver.(在20世纪70年代早期，Henry J. Heimlich医学博士开发了一种急救窒息的技术，被称为海姆立克急救法)”提到，Henry J. Heimlich发明了海姆立克急救法，G项“海姆立克博士在阅读了一篇关于意外死亡的文章后，发明了这种方法”承接上文，进一步描述他发明海姆立克急救法的细节，故选G。 【37题详解】 根据本段小标题“When to Use the Heimlich Maneuver(何时使用海姆立克急救法)”以及空前一句“If a person appears unable to speak or starts motioning toward their throat, they are likely choking.(如果一个人看起来无法说话或开始摸喉咙，他们很可能是窒息了)”可知，本段是讲述在什么情况下使用海姆立克急救法，前一句说到发生窒息的情况，D项“在这种情况下，立即提供帮助至关重要”承接上文，且呼应本段标题，说明发生窒息时要立刻使用海姆立克急救法，故选D。 【38题详解】 上文“First of all, stand behind the person with one leg forward between the person’s legs. And then, put your arms around the person and locate their belly button. Place the thumb side of one fist against the stomach just above their belly button.(首先，站在对方身后，将一条腿放在对方两腿之间。然后，把你的手臂环绕着这个人，找到他的肚脐。将一只拳头的拇指侧放在腹部，刚好在肚脐上方)”描述了实施海姆立克急救法的正确姿势，结合下文“Once the object is expelled out(一旦物体被排出体外)”可知， 空处应是描述将物体排出体外的急救动作，F项“使用快速冲击动作五次或直到他们排出物品”符合语境，故选F。 【39题详解】 空处为小标题，根据下文“Avoid giving small kids hard candy, ice cubes, and popcorn. Cut foods that kids can easily choke on into tiny pieces.(不要给小孩子吃硬糖、冰块和爆米花。把孩子容易呛到的食物切成小块)”以及“Avoid laughing or talking while chewing and swallowing.(咀嚼和吞咽时避免笑或说话)”可知，本段是关于如何预防窒息，A项“如何预防窒息”符合语境，故选A。 【40题详解】 根据下文“It happens so suddenly and immediate help is needed.(它发生得如此突然，需要立即提供帮助)”可知，空处应是提及一种紧急情况，指明It的指代内容，B项“窒息是一种非常可怕的经历”符合语境，It指代B项中的“Choking”，也与下文“the choking event”呼应，故选B。 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Throughout history, female scientists, engineers and mathematicians have changed the world.

Bailey understood what April meant because April’s parents loved the environment. And since April happened to be born on Earth Day, all her birthday parties had an Earth Day theme. Bailey remembered when April turned seven, mentioning the “Garage Sale” event where they helped out at sales and donated the money to charity. When April turned eight, it was a “Tree Planting” where they planted maples. Bailey also recalled last year when they collected newspapers to recycle, calling it the “Paper Drive,” to which April sighed, though Bailey giggled and thought it was fun. Later that night, when having supper, April expressed her desire to plan her own party this year. Her mom suggested they could have a “Recycling Party,” and her dad thought it was a great idea. April then cleared her throat and said she would like to go to the entertainment park instead. Her dad was surprised, but her mom said they could arrange to send the kids there. April couldn’t wait for her birthday. She and her friends would have so much fun, and they wouldn’t have to think one bit about the Earth. The next day at school, April told her friends that she was having her birthday party at the entertainment park. Josie was surprised, remarking that they always did something relating to earth on her birthday. Tyler remembered the little snake they found two years ago. April acknowledged this but explained that this year they wouldn’t even be going outside, which left Tyler a bit disappointed. The following weekend, everyone gathered in the parking lot outside the entertainment park. April thanked her friends for coming and expressed her excitement about the party, noting there would be no cleaning, no collecting recyclables, and nothing relating to earth. However, as she looked around, she noticed the parking lot was a mess, with plastic bottles thrown across the ground, newspapers and fast-food bags blocking the storm drain, and shopping bags blowing in the trees. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “What a mess!” April frowned. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ April looked at the collected rubbish and smiled. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “What a mess!” April frowned. Although she had been longing for a non-Earth Day birthday, it was hard to ignore such a scene. She suggested that they pick up the trash first. Her friends looked around, exchanged glances, and agreed. Bailey eagerly grabbed a bag, and Josie smiled, saying it felt like old times. Tyler sighed but nodded in determination. April’s mom handed out gloves while her dad removed shopping bags from the trees. April and Bailey collected bottles, chatting about their plans. Josie and Tyler cleared the drain, joking and encouraging each other. In no time, they had filled three large bags with trash, transforming the littered lot into a cleaner space. April looked at the collected rubbish and smiled. Then she glanced up at her parents and her friends. Their neat clothes for the birthday party were soaked with sweat, but their faces glowed with satisfaction. It felt so good to do something for the Earth. April wished everyone a happy Earth Day and told them they were now ready for the entertainment park. Her parents and her friends shouted birthday wishes to her. April thought to herself how lucky she was to have been born on Earth Day and that maybe a Recycling Party wouldn’t be such a bad idea for next year. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了April恰好出生在地球日，她所有的生日派对都以地球日为主题，今年她想到游乐场过生日，生日那天所有人都聚集在游乐场外的停车场，April看到外面很多垃圾，于是建议大家先捡垃圾，他们为参加生日聚会而穿的整洁衣服被汗水湿透了。但他们的脸上洋溢着满意的神情，能为地球做点事的感觉真好。 详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“‘真是一团糟！’April 皱起了眉头。”可知，第一段可描写April建议朋友和家人们先捡垃圾，描述他们捡垃圾的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“April看着收集的垃圾笑了。”可知，第二段可描写April对捡垃圾的感受以及朋友和家人们的反应。 2.续写线索：April皱眉——April建议捡垃圾——大家设法捡垃圾——April和大家感觉为地球做点事真好 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①渴望：long for/desire ②忽视：ignore/neglect ③建议：suggest/recommend 情绪类 ①急切地，渴望地：eagerly/urgently ②满足：satisfaction/gratification 【点睛】【高分句型1】Although she had been longing for a non-Earth Day birthday, it was hard to ignore such a scene.

I was seven years old. And I was with my father and mother, at a Chinese restaurant in Boro Park, Brooklyn. That was the first Chinese restaurant I ever ate at. I was always given food from the adults’ orders. I’m not sure when it was but the time did come when I had my first order — Won-Ton soup, egg rolls and spare ribs. That made me excited. My father seemed to know the Chinese waiter, a young guy; his name was Jimmy. I remember being surprised that a Chinese man could have an American name. Some months later, my father took me to a restaurant in Manhattan’s Chinatown called The Rathskeller on Mott Street. This was my first time in Chinatown and I was very impressed by how different it was from Boro Park. We went there a few times. I just couldn’t have enough of the food there. In 1951, I was sent to work in the Hospital Treasurer’s Office at Letterman Army Hospital. A colleague had an uncle who was a waiter at The Far East Cafe on Grant Avenue in the heart of San Francisco’s Chinatown. Once a week, a group from the office would go there for lunch and my colleague’s uncle would take good care of us. My favorite dish was Tomato Beef Chow Mein. It wasn’t until about 23 years later, in 1974, that I had my next serious relationship with the cuisine (菜肴) of China. I was lucky to take some cooking lessons provided by a famous Chinese restaurant’s chef. Then my life entered a new phase (阶段). I didn’t know it then, but some time later, it became clear to me that Chinese food would follow me through the days of my life. 24. What happened during the author’s first experience at a Chinese restaurant? A. He fell in love with Chinese food. B. He was praised for his good behavior. C. He was allowed to order his own food. D. He became familiar with the Chinese waiter. 25. What did the author most probably think of The Rathskeller? A. The food there suited his taste. B It provided quality customer service. C. The environment there was pleasant. D. It offered a chance to learn foreign cultures. 26. What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph? A. He knew Chinese table manners well. B. Chinese food had a lasting influence on him. C. He formed a close friendship with a chef. D A famous chef helped him run a Chinese restaurant. 27. How is the text mainly developed? A. By using data. B. By analyzing causes. C. By making comparisons. D. By following the order of time. C Wherever we go, we are surrounded by history. Across the globe, cultural heritage is passed down through generations. It is in the buildings and structures around us. It is in the arts and artifacts (手工艺品 ) we treasure. It lives in the languages we speak and the stories we tell. But today, it is under attack as never before. Not only is the damage of time intimidating our cultural heritage, but wars, climate change, globalization and tourism are all exacting a heavy price. Technology is now the most important weapon in the battle. Here’s how technology is preserving our cultural heritage. As you can imagine, creating the replicas (复制品 ) via crowdsourced 2D images is extremely time-consuming. Increasingly, artificial intelligence (AI) is being used to do all the required sourcing, allowing millions of images to be stored in a matter of hours. AI will also make restoration-and-preservation of existing cultural heritage far easier and much better than former methods. Virtual reality (VR) technology will play a leading role in preserving our cultural heritage in the coming years. Many of the most important sites and architecture are easily damaged. Human interaction with these locations is doing a great deal of harm. Wastes left could be seen everywhere, causing many problems. As more cultural heritage sites and objects are digitally mapped and recorded, VR technology will increasingly become the way that people experience them. We’ll all eventually be able to walk through places, look at and touch artifacts and works of art without ever seeing them with our own eyes. Finally, our cultural heritage will be preserved via technology. Efforts in research, innovation (创新), data sharing and project work will help promote and preserve the cultural heritage of countries all across the world. 28. What does the underlined word “intimidating” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Fading. B. Preserving. C. Recording. D. Threatening. 29. How does VR help to preserve cultural heritage? A. By recycling huge amounts of waste. B. By stopping visitors touching artifacts. C. By reducing human effects on the sites. D. By educating people about the sites’ importance. 30. What is the author’s attitude to technology in preserving the cultural heritage? A. Positive. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Unsupportive. 31. Which can be the best title for this passage? A. How Technology Changes Arts B What Cultural Heritage Means to Us C. Prepare for an Innovation in Technology D. Preserve the Ancient with the Advanced D Over a decade ago, the science fiction series Black Mirror showed a story about using artificial intelligence to bring back loved ones. Thanks to technological advancement, the latest AI technology brings hope of recreating loved ones through virtual form. Recently, it was revealed that renowned musician Tino Bao had created a digital version of his daughter, who in 2021 passed away due to a rare disease at the age of 22. With the help of Xiaoice, Microsoft Asia’s AI branch based in China, Bao was able to recreate his daughter Bao Rong as an AI-powered virtual figure. Tino Bao, his family and the team went to great lengths to piece together pictures, audio-visual recordings, and narrated memories of Rong. After thousands of trials and errors, they presented the life-like digital human who speaks in both Mandarin and English. Bao has finally launched a company to bring the technological miracle to other families experiencing such loss. However, this technological achievement has also been accompanied by many controversies. The idea of bringing back a loved one through AI may seem comforting. Still, researchers caution that constantly interacting with an AI version of a deceased loved one could potentially affect the natural grieving process, leaving individuals stuck in a state of denial. This could lead to prolonged grief and other mental health issues. Furthermore, there’s a risk that people may become overly dependent on the technology, prioritizing their interactions with the AI version over forming new, real-life relationships. With the case of Bao Rong out in the open, AI resurrection (复活) has become a business. From simple “talking pictures” that sound nothing like the loved ones to deep fake videos of actors speaking with the faces of those who passed away, the lower end of the market is more “artificial” than “intelligent”. Therefore, it is crucial to establish proper regulations and ethical standards to ensure that the use of AI-resurrection technology is safe and responsible. 32. Why does the author mention Black Mirror? A. To advertise Microsoft’s virtual products. B. To lead to the discussion about AI resurrection. C. To prove the predictive power of science fiction. D. To highlight the advancement of artificial intelligence. 33. Which of the following aspects is the primary focus of paragraph 2? A. The popularity of AI-resurrection technology. B. Reasons for making a digital version of Bao Rong. C. Challenges of developing a life-like digital human. D. The process of creating an AI-powered virtual figure. 34. What can we learn about AI-resurrection technology from paragraph 3? A. It still has some technical limitations. B. It helps people build new real-life relationships. C. It can be a person’s obstacle to recovering from sadness. D. It enables individuals to preserve good memories of loved ones. 35. What does the author suggest people do? A. Strengthen the management of the technology. B. Apply the technology to making pictures and videos. C. Put the technology into the market as soon as possible. D. Educate the public about the potential risks of technology. 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。 The Heimlich Maneuver Guideline In the early 1970s, Henry J.

Bailey understood what April meant because April’s parents loved the environment. And since April happened to be born on Earth Day, all her birthday parties had an Earth Day theme. Bailey remembered when April turned seven, mentioning the “Garage Sale” event where they helped out at sales and donated the money to charity. When April turned eight, it was a “Tree Planting” where they planted maples. Bailey also recalled last year when they collected newspapers to recycle, calling it the “Paper Drive,” to which April sighed, though Bailey giggled and thought it was fun. Later that night, when having supper, April expressed her desire to plan her own party this year. Her mom suggested they could have a “Recycling Party,” and her dad thought it was a great idea. April then cleared her throat and said she would like to go to the entertainment park instead. Her dad was surprised, but her mom said they could arrange to send the kids there. April couldn’t wait for her birthday. She and her friends would have so much fun, and they wouldn’t have to think one bit about the Earth. The next day at school, April told her friends that she was having her birthday party at the entertainment park. Josie was surprised, remarking that they always did something relating to earth on her birthday. Tyler remembered the little snake they found two years ago. April acknowledged this but explained that this year they wouldn’t even be going outside, which left Tyler a bit disappointed. The following weekend, everyone gathered in the parking lot outside the entertainment park. April thanked her friends for coming and expressed her excitement about the party, noting there would be no cleaning, no collecting recyclables, and nothing relating to earth. However, as she looked around, she noticed the parking lot was a mess, with plastic bottles thrown across the ground, newspapers and fast-food bags blocking the storm drain, and shopping bags blowing in the trees. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “What a mess!” April frowned. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ April looked at the collected rubbish and smiled. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$听力考试现在开始。第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。So this is your office.
