B[八省联考]
Last summer, 17-year-old Li Mei from Chengdu stepped off the plane in Paris, carrying her beloved erhu - a traditional Chinese two-stringed instrument that was passed down from her grandmother. As part of a youth cultural exchange program, she had dreamed of this moment for years, yet the weight of representing her heritage in a foreign land left her palms sweaty. Little did she know that this trip would spark an extraordinary musical creation.
During a workshop at a local art school, Li met Pierre, a French violinist who was fascinated by her instrument’s attractive sound. “It’s like the voice of ancient China,” he remarked with excitement, gently plucking (拨) the erhu’s strings. Inspired by each other’s music, they decided to mix the soulful melodies of the erhu with the dynamic range of the violin for a performance at the upcoming Bastille Day celebration.
As they practiced in a sunlit studio overlooking the Seine, Li taught Pierre how to imitate raindrops with quick bow movements on the erhu, while Pierre showed her how to weave Western harmonies into the Chinese folk tune “Jasmine Flower.” The integration created a charming soundscape that neither had imagined possible. On the performance night, their piece “Silk Road Echoes” received thunderous applause. The audience were amazed at how the erhu’s sad tones danced with the violin’s vigorous melodies (旋律).
What began as a summer experiment blossomed into lasting friendship and something far greater. Today, Li and Pierre co-teach virtual music classes, connecting students in Chengdu and Lyon through weekly “global jam sessions.” Their students cooperate on pieces that mix erhu with guitar or Peking opera with jazz. Li often tells her pupils, “Music has no borders; it’s a language that turns differences into harmonies.” When traditions meet with open hearts, they don’t conflict, they compose something entirely new.
4. Why did Li Mei bring her erhu to Paris?
A. To share Chinese music culture. B. To give it to her friend as a present.
C. To display it at a local studio. D. To teach students full-time.
5. What contributed to the lasting cooperation of Li Mei and Pierre?
A. Their common and deep love for traditional Chinese music.
B. Their successful performance and inspiration from each other’s music.
C. The opportunity to participate in the Bastille Day celebration together.
D. The desire to teach music in a virtual way to students around the world.
6. Why was “Silk Road Echoes” well received by the audience?
A. It reflected the beauty of nature wonderfully.
B. It featured traditional Chinese folk performance.
C. It was a musical handshake between civilizations.
D. It was an excellent musical instrument exhibition.
7. What does the story mainly convey?
A. Music is the source of lasting friendship.
B. Mastering an instrument requires practice.
C. Traditional music resists modern influences.
D. Cooperation across cultures generates innovation.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. D

C[一模变式练]
Artificial intelligence — or AI — is the computer code (代码) that allows a machine to do something that normally requires a human brain. On TikTok, for instance, AI sorts the posts so that the first ones you see are likely to be those you’d prefer. But before an AI can do any of that, developers must train it. And the training consumes energy.
AI training is powered mostly by fossil (化石) fuels, according to one of the largest studies of its kind. Less than 25 percent of AIs use low-carbon energy sources such as hydroelectricity and nuclear power during training. In fact, researchers now worry that training’s appetite for energy could soon become a huge problem. The energy to develop AI comes out of the electrical net. And in most parts of the world, making electricity emits (排放) carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the air.
Language-processing AI systems learn by devouring (吞食) texts in a particular language. This might include “reading” everything ever published online in some language, including libraries full of old books that have been digitized. Such data-intensive training uses a lot of energy. To translate between English and Chinese, for example, an AI model may deal with millions or even billions of translated books and articles. In this way, it learns which words and phrases match. Later, when given a new text, it recommends its own translation.
In 2019, researchers calculated the impact of developing AI model named Transformer. It released a massive 626, 000 pounds of carbon dioxide. That’s equal to the greenhouse gases that would be poured by five American cars from when they were made to when they were junked.
Today, most AI development happens at data centers. These computer-filled buildings account for some 2 percent US electricity use and 1 percent of global energy use. Some AI experts have sounded an alarm about the threat these energy giants pose.
8. What is AI training mainly energized by?
A. Fossil fuels. B. Solar energy. C. Nuclear energy. D. Greenhouse gases.
9. What do we know about the language-processing AI systems?
A. They process limited texts. B. They will replace translators.
C. They seldom read digital books. D. They are energy-consuming.
10. Why does the author mention Transformer in paragraph 4?
A. To highlight its significance. B. To speak highly of AI’s power.
C. To demonstrate researchers’ creativity. D. To stress its effect on the environment.
11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. AI’s development poses a threat to data centers.
B. The energy consumption of AI can’t be ignored.
C. AI is effectively transforming the way we learn.
D. People should take action to reduce gas emission.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人工智能(AI)训练所消耗的能源问题。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“AI training is powered mostly by fossil (化石) fuels, according to one of the largest studies of its kind.(根据同类研究中规模最大的一项,人工智能训练主要由化石燃料提供动力。)”可知,AI训练主要由化石燃料提供能量。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Language-processing AI systems learn by devouring (吞食) texts in a particular language. This might include “reading” everything ever published online in some language, including libraries full of old books that have been digitized. Such data-intensive training uses a lot of energy.(语言处理人工智能系统通过大量“吞食”(即阅读)特定语言的文本来进行学习。这可能包括“阅读”某种语言下所有曾在网上发布过的内容,以及已被数字化的满载古老书籍的图书馆。这种数据密集型的训练过程消耗了大量的能源。)”可知,语言处理AI系统需要“吞食”大量的文本,这种数据密集型的训练消耗了大量的能量。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“In 2019, researchers calculated the impact of developing AI model named Transformer. It released a massive 626, 000 pounds of carbon dioxide. That’s equal to the greenhouse gases that would be poured by five American cars from when they were made to when they were junked.(2019年,研究人员计算了开发名为Transformer的人工智能模型的影响。它释放了62.6万磅的二氧化碳。这相当于五辆美国汽车从制造到报废所排放的温室气体总量。)”可知,作者提到Transformer是为了说明开发这个AI模型释放了大量的二氧化碳,即为了强调其对环境的影响。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Today, most AI development happens at data centers. These computer-filled buildings account for some 2 percent US electricity use and 1 percent of global energy use. Some AI experts have sounded an alarm about the threat these energy giants pose.(如今,大多数人工智能的开发都发生在数据中心。这些布满计算机的建筑约占美国电力消耗的2%和全球能源消耗的1%。一些人工智能专家对这些能源巨头构成的威胁发出了警报。)”可知,作者在最后一段暗示AI的能源消耗不容忽视。故选B。
D[八省联考]
For decades, “simpler is better” has been accepted as a universal truth in marketing. Nick Light, assistant professor of marketing at the UO Lundquist College of Business, has tested that assumption. He found that most consumers prefer offerings that appear to be easy to use and understand. However, pushing simplicity can have a hidden, costly downside.
“Simplicity is not a silver bullet,” Light said. This method might work for established companies with track records to back up their claims. But it can be risky for a start-up with no history or a company in a complicated market category where failures or breakdowns are more common.
Light’s earlier experience stimulated his interest in the study. He was a marketing manager at a direct-to-consumer mattress(床垫) company. With the catchword “one perfect mattress”, the company offered only one mattress model shipped directly to the consumer’s door, dramatically simplifying the mattress-buying process. “Some customers calling with even minor problems such as a slight discoloration in the material, would get really angry,” Light said. “They would say things like, “I don’t understand what’s so difficult about this,’ even when producing and shipping mattresses are quite complex. These customers were getting overly upset because the product and process had been labeled as simple.”
The study also showed that consumers judged the complexity of brands or products based on their mental connections. For example, when study participants viewed advertisements for two different companies, they formed mental pictures of the simplicity or complexity of the brand depending on how plain or busy the art was and the details provided in each ad.
Light also looked into product quality and customer opinions and found that consumers are less likely to recommend simpler brands after failures compared to more complex brands. Therefore, the lesson for marketers is to be more careful about building branding and advertising strategies around simplicity, because they could easily backfire if the product or service fails to deliver.
12. What does the underlined words “a silver bullet” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. A risky investment. B. A business strategy. C. A quick-fix method. D. A cure-all solution.
13. What did the use of simplicity in the mattress business lead to?
A. Rising customer dissatisfaction. B. Reduced expenses for producers.
C. Longer transport time for goods. D. More comments from customers.
14. What mainly influence consumers’ views on a brand according to the study?
A. The company’s historical background. B. The impressions shaped by ad design.
C. The advertising reviews on its website. D. The richness of color in its packaging.
15. What advice does the author give to marketers?
A. Advertise after-sale customer service. B. Be cautious about simplicity-themed efforts.
C. Stress product quality over simplicity. D. Improve brand presence through social media.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了品牌过度简化可能带来的负面影响和消费者的反应。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Simplicity is not (简化不是)”,以及“But it can be risky for a start-up with no history or a company in a complicated market category where failures or breakdowns are more common. (但对于没有历史的初创企业或处于复杂市场类别,失败或故障的公司来说,这可能存在风险)”可知,这里simplicity并不是一个能解决所有问题的方案,因此a silver bullet指的是cure-all solution“万能药”。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“‘Some customers calling with even minor problems such as a slight discoloration in the material, would get really angry,’ Light said. (‘有些顾客打电话来询问即使是很小的问题,例如材料的轻微变色,也会非常生气,’Light 说)”可知,在床垫业务中推崇简化导致客户不满情绪上升。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“For example, when study participants viewed advertisements for two different companies, they formed mental pictures of the simplicity or complexity of the brand depending on how plain or busy the art was and the details provided in each ad. (例如,当研究参与者观看两家不同公司的广告时,他们会根据艺术的简单或复杂程度以及每个广告中提供的细节,在脑海中形成品牌简单或复杂的画面)”可知,广告设计给消费者形成的印象影响他们对品牌的看法。故选B。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Therefore, the lesson for marketers is to be more careful about building branding and advertising strategies around simplicity, because they could easily backfire if the product or service fails to deliver. (因此,营销人员的教训是要更加谨慎地围绕简化建立品牌和广告策略,因为如果产品或服务未能交付,它们很容易适得其反)”可知,作者建议营销人员在以简化为主题的营销努力中要谨慎。故选B。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was time to go home. “Remember to work on your class speeches for homework,” Miss Walker called, as everyone started talking and packing their school bags. Jenny felt sick. She hated having to read aloud in class. She was sure everyone got really bored listening to her. Once, when Jenny was reading out her holiday diary, Lee was even looking at his watch, a silver and blue one which seemed just magical.
Jenny watched Lee walk ahead of her as they left school. He seemed so clever, and he had a certain sort of shining confidence. He was just one of those people who were good at everything. Jenny sighed. As she turned the corner, she saw Lee’s watch lying right in the middle of the path.
Jenny knew she should just pick it up and return it to him, but she didn’t want to run after him. Jenny bent down quickly, picked up the watch and ran home. On arriving home, Jenny put it on almost without thinking. She was surprised it fitted so well. She walked to the mirror and started practicing her speech. Words just flooded out of her. “I’m going to talk about swimming. I have been lucky. I’ve won lots of competitions. But when I’m in a race, I’m not really thinking about winning. I’m just loving the feeling of being in the water...”Jenny laughed with excitement. She walked across the room. She suddenly seemed to have a certain sort of confidence. Turning back to the mirror, Jenny saw a flash of light from the watch in the glass. The flashes of silver seemed almost magical. So maybe Lee’s watch really DID have something magic.
The next day, as the lesson began, Miss Walker asked who was going to be brave and go first. No-body moved. Jenny slowly raised her arm. Before Miss Walker could say anything, there was a shout from behind. “She’s stolen my watch!” Lee said angrily, “It went missing at school yesterday.”
Paragraph 1: Everybody was fixing their eyes on Jenny, waiting for an explanation.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph2: At that moment, Miss Walker smiled and asked the class to listen to Jenny’s speech first.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Everybody was fixing their eyes on Jenny, waiting for an explanation. Jenny didn’t answer. How could she explain about the watch and its magic? No one could understand. No one could believe. “But I saw you wearing it yesterday,” Miss Walker gently reminded him. For a moment Lee remained silent and then he apologized he had just remembered that. Jenny was relieved, saying she had found it on the way home and decided to return it after the speech. Everybody was puzzled and asked why. Jenny again was speechless.
At that moment, Miss Walker smiled and asked the class to listen to Jenny’s speech first. Jenny walked slowly to the front. She couldn’t think properly. All round her, a sea of faces was watching. She felt so frightened and the watch didn’t seem magical at all. Suddenly she saw Miss Walker’s encouraging eyes. Jenny took a deep breath. “I’m going to talk about swimming...” Ten minutes later the whole class stood up, applauding Jenny’s wonderful speech. Jenny smiled as she eventually realized the real source of confidence.

B[八省联考]
Last summer, 17-year-old Li Mei from Chengdu stepped off the plane in Paris, carrying her beloved erhu - a traditional Chinese two-stringed instrument that was passed down from her grandmother. As part of a youth cultural exchange program, she had dreamed of this moment for years, yet the weight of representing her heritage in a foreign land left her palms sweaty. Little did she know that this trip would spark an extraordinary musical creation.
During a workshop at a local art school, Li met Pierre, a French violinist who was fascinated by her instrument’s attractive sound. “It’s like the voice of ancient China,” he remarked with excitement, gently plucking (拨) the erhu’s strings. Inspired by each other’s music, they decided to mix the soulful melodies of the erhu with the dynamic range of the violin for a performance at the upcoming Bastille Day celebration.
As they practiced in a sunlit studio overlooking the Seine Li taught Pierre how to imitate raindrops with quick bow movements on the erhu, while Pierre showed her how to weave Western harmonies into the Chinese folk tune “Jasmine Flower.” The integration created a charming soundscape that neither had imagined possible. On the performance night, their piece “Silk Road Echoes” received thunderous applause. The audience were amazed at how the erhu’s sad tones danced with the violin’s vigorous melodies (旋律).
What began as a summer experiment blossomed into lasting friendship and something far greater. Today, Li and Pierre co-teach virtual music classes, connecting students in Chengdu and Lyon through weekly “global jam sessions.” Their students cooperate on pieces that mix erhu with guitar or Peking opera with jazz. Li often tells her pupils, “Music has no borders; it’s a language that turns differences into harmonies.” When traditions meet with open hearts, they don’t conflict, they compose something entirely new.
4. Why did Li Mei bring her erhu to Paris?
A. To share Chinese music culture. B. To give it to her friend as a present.
C. To display it at a local studio. D. To teach students full-time.
5. What contributed to the lasting cooperation of Li Mei and Pierre?
A. Their common and deep love for traditional Chinese music.
B. Their successful performance and inspiration from each other’s music.
C. The opportunity to participate in the Bastille Day celebration together.
D. The desire to teach music in a virtual way to students around the world.
6. Why was “Silk Road Echoes” well received by the audience?
A. It reflected the beauty of nature wonderfully.
B. It featured traditional Chinese folk performance.
C. It was a musical handshake between civilizations.
D. It was an excellent musical instrument exhibition.
7. What does the story mainly convey?
A. Music is the source of lasting friendship.
B. Mastering an instrument requires practice.
C. Traditional music resists modern influences.
D. Cooperation across cultures generates innovation.
C[一模变式练]
Artificial intelligence — or AI — is the computer code (代码) that allows a machine to do something that normally requires a human brain. On TikTok, for instance, AI sorts the posts so that the first ones you see are likely to be those you’d prefer. But before an AI can do any of that, developers must train it. And the training consumes energy.
AI training is powered mostly by fossil (化石) fuels, according to one of the largest studies of its kind. Less than 25 percent of AIs use low-carbon energy sources such as hydroelectricity and nuclear power during training. In fact, researchers now worry that training’s appetite for energy could soon become a huge problem. The energy to develop AI comes out of the electrical net. And in most parts of the world, making electricity emits (排放) carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the air.
Language-processing AI systems learn by devouring (吞食) texts in a particular language. This might include “reading” everything ever published online in some language, including libraries full of old books that have been digitized. Such data-intensive training uses a lot of energy. To translate between English and Chinese, for example, an AI model may deal with millions or even billions of translated books and articles. In this way, it learns which words and phrases match. Later, when given a new text, it recommends its own translation.
In 2019, researchers calculated the impact of developing AI model named Transformer. It released a massive 626, 000 pounds of carbon dioxide. That’s equal to the greenhouse gases that would be poured by five American cars from when they were made to when they were junked.
Today, most AI development happens at data centers. These computer-filled buildings account for some 2 percent US electricity use and 1 percent of global energy use. Some AI experts have sounded an alarm about the threat these energy giants pose.
8. What is AI training mainly energized by?
A. Fossil fuels. B. Solar energy. C. Nuclear energy. D. Greenhouse gases.
9 What do we know about the language-processing AI systems?
A. They process limited texts. B. They will replace translators.
C. They seldom read digital books. D. They are energy-consuming.
10. Why does the author mention Transformer in paragraph 4?
A. To highlight its significance. B. To speak highly of AI’s power.
C. To demonstrate researchers’ creativity. D. To stress its effect on the environment.
11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. AI’s development poses a threat to data centers.
B. The energy consumption of AI can’t be ignored.
C. AI is effectively transforming the way we learn.
D. People should take action to reduce gas emission.
D[八省联考]
For decades, “simpler is better” has been accepted as a universal truth in marketing. Nick Light, assistant professor of marketing at the UO Lundquist College of Business, has tested that assumption. He found that most consumers prefer offerings that appear to be easy to use and understand. However, pushing simplicity can have a hidden, costly downside.
“Simplicity is not a silver bullet,” Light said. This method might work for established companies with track records to back up their claims. But it can be risky for a start-up with no history or a company in a complicated market category where failures or breakdowns are more common.
Light’s earlier experience stimulated his interest in the study. He was a marketing manager at a direct-to-consumer mattress(床垫) company. With the catchword “one perfect mattress”, the company offered only one mattress model shipped directly to the consumer’s door, dramatically simplifying the mattress-buying process. “Some customers calling with even minor problems such as a slight discoloration in the material, would get really angry,” Light said. “They would say things like, “I don’t understand what’s so difficult about this,’ even when producing and shipping mattresses are quite complex. These customers were getting overly upset because the product and process had been labeled as simple.”
The study also showed that consumers judged the complexity of brands or products based on their mental connections. For example, when study participants viewed advertisements for two different companies, they formed mental pictures of the simplicity or complexity of the brand depending on how plain or busy the art was and the details provided in each ad.
Light also looked into product quality and customer opinions and found that consumers are less likely to recommend simpler brands after failures compared to more complex brands. Therefore, the lesson for marketers is to be more careful about building branding and advertising strategies around simplicity, because they could easily backfire if the product or service fails to deliver.
12. What does the underlined words “a silver bullet” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. A risky investment. B. A business strategy. C. A quick-fix method. D. A cure-all solution.
13. What did the use of simplicity in the mattress business lead to?
A. Rising customer dissatisfaction. B. Reduced expenses for producers.
C. Longer transport time for goods. D. More comments from customers.
14. What mainly influence consumers’ views on a brand according to the study?
A. The company’s historical background. B. The impressions shaped by ad design.
C. The advertising reviews on its website. D. The richness of color in its packaging.
15. What advice does the author give to marketers?
A. Advertise after-sale customer service. B. Be cautious about simplicity-themed efforts.
C. Stress product quality over simplicity. D. Improve brand presence through social media.

Practice staying on topic by challenging and recording yourself. Record yourself talking and see if you start to depart from the topic. ___20___ . Once you’re able to do that, try to make your point in 30 seconds. This exercise can help you stay on topic and avoid wandering.
