Grammar and Vocabulary Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. In March of 2023, a strange video of Will Smith eating spaghetti was created using an early text-to-video AI tool called ModelScope and released on Reddit, a popular content-sharing platform. The technology, while impressive, was deeply limited in its ability to accurately represent the text hint some users even described the video as “nightmarish”. Little did they know that a year later text-to-video AI would be creating videos so realistic ____21____they would blur (模糊) the line between the digital and the real. If you've ever used a text-to-image generative AI tool like DALL-E, you'll see that text-to-video tools work in a similar way. The user provides a hint, like “cat swimming in a fish tank,” and the tool creates a video ____22____ (base) on everything it knows about cats, water, fish and the physics of how they might interact. The tool makes use of what are known as “visual patches (补丁)”, building blocks of data ____23____help the AI to understand how everything in the scene should interact and progress, frame by frame. Tools that are based on a spread system, like OpenAI’s Sora, are trained ____24____ (recognize) objects so they can improve images by deleting the incorrect visual patches. This process could be compared to a worker____25____ (melt) raw gold multiple times in order to remove all its useless elements. One of the remarkable things about OpenAI’s Sora is that it can generate content in a variety of styles. When the project____26____ (disclose) last February, OpenAI claimed that “Sora can generate videos up to a minute long while maintaining visual quality and according to the user's hint.” But there are limits of Sora’s capabilities. As OpenAI shows in some demo videos, the physics of how objects interact in the videos doesn't always make sense. Sometimes people or objects ____27____ (mix) together, transform into other things, disappear or appear out of nowhere. But if the technology can appear suddenly from the strange spaghetti video to ____28____ it is now in a year, these limitations probably won't last long. Besides OpenAI's Sora, Google has two products called Lumiere and VideoPoet, but like Sora, they ____29____not be open for public use yet. These tools are still being seriously tested and improved to ensure that people can't use them to produce inappropriate content or break laws. In the meantime, you can still experiment with simple text-to-video tools ____30____invideo AI, a creation and education in mind. It's perfect for creating online courses, “explainer” videos or providing visuals for a short story. Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. community B. reveal C. originally D. marketing E. eventually F. electronic G. added H. strike I. dressing J. statistic K. material Despite its name there’s nothing little about Xiaohongshu. Every day, millions of people swipe (滑动) its ___31___ pages. The app has a huge goal. Its website states: “Our mission is inspiring lives to share and discover the wonders of the world.” These “wonders” were ___32___ luxury brands, and the users who shared their discoveries were mostly women from China’s major cities. Xiaohongshu was created in 2013 as a shopping platform. Beauty and fashion have always been its most popular topics, but new categories keep getting ___33___. Now companies everywhere are paying attention to this vast ___34___ of consumers. Xiaohongshu combines lifestyle tips with business. “KeyOpinion Consumers” demonstrate products and strike a note of friendship. As users make comments, connections grow among like-minded people. Brands build ___35___ strategies around the latest trends. For example, millions of Xiaohongshu users have posted about “dopamine ___36___.” Search “dopamine” in the app, and you’ll find endless products, including furniture and dog clothing! Brands hope that you, and a few million others, will buy their products. Xiaohongsnu offers more than ___37___ goods. Its mission to “inspire lives” also happens when people promote learning and creativity. Users can connect with experts and enthusiasts in many fields. A talented pianist can show you how to practice scales. A skilled painter could demonstrate how to mix colors. A dancer might post a video of dance moves that you can copy step by step. And a popular vlogger (博主) may ___38___ her daily routine, complete with relaxing music. You could spend hours scrolling (滚动) through this not-so-little book. But try to fill your time—and mind—wisely. Why not use Xiaohongshu to learn more English? After all, one of the greatest “wonders of the world” is human language. On this app, you can look for teachers who speak clearly, offer natural conversations and communicate sincere friendship. Remember that even in the huge world of social media, you were made to be more than a consumer ___39___. You were made to be known and understood. Learning to ___40___ up a good conversation could be your mission on Xiaohongshu! III. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Unemployment is a significant problem in many developing countries. Without steady work, individuals ____41____ to rise out of poverty, and the community as a whole also misses out. Many unemployed people could have done much good through their labor if they had been given the opportunity to contribute. ____42____, without opportunities for reasonable work, young people sometimes turn to crime and violence in order to provide for themselves. Thus, giving people opportunities to work is essential for the community’s well-being. Unemployment creates many different problems for communities. Encouraging people to start businesses is an effective way to reduce unemployment, and this can be done in several ways. Education plays a vital role in ____43____ people for certain jobs, but many young people find that even if they are ____44____, the jobs are just not there. This was the situation that Rwandan entrepreneur Noel Nizeyimana faced. When he graduated from university with a degree in soil and environmental science, he sent out application after application but received no job offers, so he turned to creating his own business. With three of his colleagues, he founded Greencare Rwanda Ltd., a company that transforms waste into products that can be used for various purposes. ____45____, one of the company’s programs processes waste and turns it into organic fertilizer used by local farmers. The company has also ____46____ into plastic recycling and produces paving materials from sand and plastic. Thus, Greencare Rwanda is providing materials for other industries as well. Greencare Rwanda Ltd was able to ____47____ the ground largely due to funds it received from the UN Youth Joint Programme. This program is a(n) ____48____ to reach the UN’s sustainable development goal of “decent work and economic growth.” The assistance ____49____ helped Greencare, which now produces 400 tons of fertilizer and 2,560 square meters of paving materials per year. It also employs 25 people, which shows that helping people start businesses provides work for more than just the person who receives the funds. All this raises the question of what more can be done to ____50____ young people to start their own businesses. Providing funds to cover the initial costs, as the UN Youth Joint Programme did for Nizeyimana, is certainly important as the starting costs for businesses can be____51____ high. Governments are sometimes hesitant to provide funds to startups because success is not ____52____. Starting a business is risky, and nobody wants to waste money, but experts ____53____ that governments should not impose (强加) too many requirements. Different regions will need different ____54____, so trying to impose a set of one size fits all requirements can restrict growth rather than promote it. While there are other ways to address unemployment, ____55____ young business owners is one of the most effective — especially when those businesses produce goods that genuinely help local communities. 41. A. complain B. abandon C. struggle D. dislike 42. A. Less B. Better C. More D. Worse 43. A. equipping B. promoting C. persuading D. recognizing 44 A. accepted B. qualified C. recommended D. informed 45. A. For example B. In addition C. As a result D. Above all 46.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) One hundred and eight years ago, the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank to the bottom of the ocean. It was the most luxurious passenger ship of its time and thought to be unsinkable. Sadly, that proved to be false and more than 1,500 of the approximately 2,200 people onboard lost their lives. One reason for the tremendous loss of life was the lack of sufficient lifeboats on the ship. The Titanic had 20 of these small boats, which were meant to be used in an emergency. The boats could carry between 40 and 65 people each. All together, they could hold only 1,178 people, far too few to save all of the passengers and crew. After the Titanic hit the iceberg, an order was given to launch the boats. Many passengers didn’t take the order seriously. Instead of responding to it, they decided to stay indoors rather than go out onto the freezing cold deck. Those passengers who took the order seriously began to get into the boats. Some of the boats were lowered into the ocean before they were full. Two of the boats floated away empty when the ship began to sink. In 1987, movie producer John Joslyn and a team dove to the site of the Titanic’s wreckage in a $20 million submersible (潜水器). They filmed for hundreds of hours. Some of the film was later used in a documentary about the Titanic. Joslyn dreamed of a place where visitors could experience much of what those on board the Titanic actually saw, touched and encountered. Joslyn wanted a “living theater” with guests as part of the experience. In 2010, his dream came true with the construction of Titanic Museum Attraction (TMA). Located in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, TMA is the world’s largest permanent Titanic museum with over 400 Titanic artifacts (文物). 56. How does the writer begin this article? A. By describing a disaster that took place at sea. B. By outlining the reasons for an official inquiry. C. By discussing common types of transportation. D. By explaining how an accident was prevented. 57. What information about the small boats does the article provide? A. Their estimated cost. B. Their total capacity. C. Their maximum speed. D. Their normal weight. 58. What mistake did many people make? A. They made the wrong announcement. B. They left all of their luggage behind. C. They issued a warning much too early. D. They ignored an important command. 59. According to this article, what does the TMA contain? A. Audio recordings of interviews. B. Exhibits featuring unique sculptures. C. Objects from a sunken ship. D. A stage for musical performances. (B) Martizia A. Morelos 18 Maison Rd. Los Angeles, CA 95550 333-555-1222 September 15, 2024 Dear Mr. and Mrs. Andreas and Finn Schulz I am writing this letter to give you notice that we will require you to leave our rental unit at 7 Banelle Drive, Unit 1602 on February 1, 2025. This notice gives you 4.5 months' notice, which is more than the state's required 3 months of notice for repairs.

Additionally, we will be changing the floors and painting the entire unit. We expect the repairs will take at least four months, if not longer. There have been some supply issues recently, so there may be delays because we can’t get some materials. However, we would like to know if you would like to return to the apartment after the repairs are done. Of course, we know that many things can change between now and next year when everything will hopefully be ready. If you know for sure that you won’t be renting our place again (and we will have to charge an additional 15%), could you please let us know immediately? You can always change your mind when we list the place again for rental. You have been wonderful renters and we hope that you will want to return and rent our place again.

(C) Every day we are surrounded by large amounts of information, much of which is given by people who want to shape our decisions. So, we need to evaluate the information and determine how we should respond. Evaluating information and arguments requires critical thinking, the ability to think clearly and see how ideas are connected. Like any skill, critical thinking can be learned, and the best way to learn it is by practicing. You cannot evaluate an argument that you do not understand. Thus, the first step to critical thinking must always be listening. You may need to ask questions to clarify the person’s claims. Ask them to define their key terms, especially words with multiple meanings. Once you understand what the person is saying, then you can consider whether it is true. The most important question is whether the facts they state are actually true. You can try to figure this out by considering the source of the facts and whether the facts line up with what you already know about the topic. If there is a conflict, you must then discover whether your original understanding was incorrect or whether the new claims are wrong. It’s also possible to draw incorrect conclusions from correct facts. Often this comes from mistakes in logic, so learning about common logical fallacies (谬论) and how to recognize them can help. Also consider whether there could be another explanation for the facts besides the one you’ve been given. Critical thinking also involves examining people’s motivations and assumptions. For example, a salesman will present facts that are selected to convince you to buy what he is selling. He will leave out facts that don’t help him reach that goal. Assumptions can likewise affect people’s claims since people want to confirm what they already believe. It is necessary that you recognize these factors to predict when someone else’s statements might not be accurate or complete. Finally, critical thinking requires examining your own beliefs and assumptions as well. Poking holes in other people’s arguments can be necessary, but you must acknowledge the possibility that your own beliefs are wrong. Your own assumptions and motivations may affect your thinking without you realizing it. By critically examining both your own and other people’ opinions, you can understand the way the world works and make decisions in light of the truth. 63. According to the passage, which one of the following is TRUE? A. The majority of information given to us is actually to shape our minds. B. Critical thinking is usually learned by practicing, like any other skills. C. Only when you fully understand one’s claims, can you make a right evaluation. D. A conflict between the original understanding and a new one is critical thinking. 64. What is the purpose of the example of a salesman given in the passage? A. To illustrate the important function of critical thinking B. To confirm the difference of people’s motivations and assumptions C. To convince people to buy the product mentioned in the passage D. To warn people to pay special attention to the facts given 65. The expression “Poking holes in other people’s arguements” in the last paragraph probably means ______. A. Finding out others’ faults B. Evaluating others’ opinions C. Criticizing others’ points of view D. Supporting others’ ideas 66. What can we conclude from the passage? A. Drawing incorrect decisions from facts depends on its logic. B. A fact may sometimes guide us to make a wrong decision. C. Critical thinking is connected with one’s own beliefs and assumptions. D. Without logic knowledge, critical thinking is impossible to occur. Section C Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. In the world of social media, people often create videos to share their knowledge about a series of topics, from piano lessons to computer repair. As a result, when someone is seeking an answer to a question, they often turn to YouTube for an answer. It stands to reason that those who have trouble with studying would also consult YouTube for a solution. ____67____ In Korea, the popular videos are called “gongbang,” which means Study Broadcast. In Japan, they’re called “benkyoudouga,” and in America and other countries, they’re called Study with Me. No matter what their names are, many viewers have jumped on the SWM bandwagon. Students create and share videos of themselves studying earnestly, usually for an exam. Many of the videos are shot in a quiet room. The camera often focuses on a clean desk with a tidy display of books, notebooks, a computer and a timer. Throughout most of the videos, no words are spoken; the focus is on the creator as he or she studies. ____68____ Are SWM videos just “lazy content,” or are they beneficial? Financial site Business Insider says this type of video “serves a real purpose, helping people focus.” The Korea Advanced Institute of Science an Technology performed research on Study with Me videos and discovered several benefits. First, people can set up quiet study areas in their homes to view the videos. ____69____ Next, observing the diligence of the creator often motivates viewers, especially those who have trouble studying. Finally, viewer gain emotional support by knowing that they are part of a group with perhaps thousands others, all working toward the same goal. Some viewers have said that Study with Me “satisfies the need for belonging and social contact” by providing a sense of companionship. ____70____ Some SWM livestreams, where viewers can chat with each other in real time, feel like online study groups. This helps create a satisfactory study environment where students — even those who struggle — can find the inspiration they need to stay on task. A. The point is not to teach anything but simply to provide a study companion. B. The creator becomes a study partner, which reduces the isolation many students feel. C. That is why SWM comes into being, and becomes more and more popular these days. D. That’s where Study with Me (SWM) videos come into play. E. Silent videos can help students overcome the feelings of isolation and loneliness. F. This cuts down on their commute (通勤) to libraries or established study rooms. IV. Summary Writing 71. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.  As soon as they walk into a room, tall people command attention. They also enjoy some advantages, such as being considered attractive (especially for men). Tall people also tend to have higher status jobs and consequently earn more money than others. It’s no wonder that many young people are concerned about growing as tall as possible. There are many myths (荒诞的说法) about growth and height in circulation (流通), though, so let’s examine them and find out the truth. Myth: People stop growing during puberty (青春期). Fact: Boys can still grow even in their early 20s though both girls and boys grow more during childhood and puberty. Girls tend to grow more at younger ages than boys. But boys catch up and usually pass girls by the time they reach adulthood. Myth: A person’s height is completely determined by genes. Fact: Genes do play a role, determining about 60 to 80 percent of a person’s height. But the rest is influenced by environmental factors. Nutrition during childhood is the most important. Without enough vitamins, minerals, and protein, children do not become as tall as their genes would allow. Myth: Caffeine stops children from growing. Fact: In moderation, caffeine does not restrict growth. A child or teenager can have a cup of coffee or tea with no ill effects on height. However, too much caffeine use might restrict growth because it prevents sleep, which is when most growth happens. Myth: Stretching or hanging upside down can make you taller. Fact: It’s not clear whether this is true or not. Some evidence indicates that stretching can increase height while one is growing. But this doesn’t work once one is fully grown. Hanging upside down makes one taller temporarily, but this may not make a lasting difference. Understanding how growth happens can help people make decisions. For young people who are still growing, a healthy diet is the best way for them to maximize their height. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.

Living in the deep ocean for a long time. 13. A. To move to their food without being noticed. B. To communicate with other ocean creatures. C. To perform tricks for entertainment. D. To light up the ocean floor for other sea animals. 【答案】11. A 12. A 13. A 【解析】 【原文】Have you ever been outside at night and seen how fireflies light up around you? This is called bioluminescence, and it’s when living things can make their own light. Unlike us, who need electricity to turn on lights, some animals and creatures can glow all by themselves thanks to special stuff in their bodies. This super cool ability to shine is something you’ll find a lot in the ocean, which is super dark once you go deep. Many sea animals, like different kinds of fish, can light up too. Scientists just found out about the biggest animal ever that can do this, and it’s a shark called the kitefin shark. The kitefin shark can get as long as about 1.8 metres, which is taller than most people! It’s got thousands of tiny light spots on its skin that let it shine. Scientists are still trying to figure out why it shines. Maybe the light helps the shark find food, or maybe it helps it move to smaller fish without them noticing. If the smaller fish look up, they can’t see the shark shining against the light from above, so the shark can catch them easily. It’s pretty amazing how nature works, right? Questions 11. What is bioluminescence? 12. What is the kitefin shark known for? 13. What might be the reason why the kitefin shark uses its light? 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 14. A. An innovative power source for wearable devices. B. Challenges for most wearable devices available. C. Wearable devices that serve different purposes. D.

A 【解析】 【原文】Electronics worn on the body serve a variety of purposes, from basic time-telling watches to smartwatches that can deliver emails. Devices like Fitbits track steps, and there are monitors tailored for people to maintain their health. A common challenge for all these wearables is their reliance on batteries for power. To address this, researchers are exploring innovative power sources. They’ve developed small, square pieces that attach to a person’s fingertips. These pieces are most effective during sleep, as they collect tiny amounts of sweat from the fingertips. The sweat contains chemicals that can be turned into electricity. The pieces also generate power when a person presses their fingertips together. This technology could revolutionize how we power wearable devices. It offers a sustainable and convenient alternative to traditional batteries. Imagine a world where your smartwatch or health monitor never needs charging because it’s powered by your body’s natural processes. These pieces represent a significant step towards eco-friendly and self-sustaining wearable technology. The implications of this technology are vast. It could lead to new kinds of wearables that don’t require batteries, making them more convenient and environmentally friendly. As this technology advances, it promises to change the way we interact with personal electronics. Questions 14. What is the passage mainly about? 15.

It’s in toothpaste, cleaning agents, even food! M: Yeah, I noticed that too. Seems like it’s the latest trend. But do you think it actually works? W: Well, this article says there’s no solid evidence it makes your teeth whiter or breath fresher. It could even be damaging to teeth. M: Seriously? I thought it was supposed to be good for purification and similar purposes. W: That’s just marketing, I guess. There’s no scientific evidence for the purification claims either. A dietician, Abby Langer, mentioned that while it’s not harmful, it probably won’t have the effects people are expecting. M: Hmm, that’s disappointing. It does look cool though, especially in ice cream and pizza! W: True, but it’s all for the look then. Before we buy into this trend, we should consider if it’s worth the extra money when there’s no proven benefit. M: Agreed. I’ll stick to my regular products for now. And maybe try the carbon ice cream just once, for the experience! W: Sounds like a plan. Let’s not let the trend dictate our choices, right? M: Right on. Let’s be smart consumers! Questions 17. What are the speakers mainly talking about? 18. What does the article mentioned in the conversation suggest about activated carbon in dental products? 19.

Grammar and Vocabulary Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. In March of 2023, a strange video of Will Smith eating spaghetti was created using an early text-to-video AI tool called ModelScope and released on Reddit, a popular content-sharing platform. The technology, while impressive, was deeply limited in its ability to accurately represent the text hint some users even described the video as “nightmarish”. Little did they know that a year later text-to-video AI would be creating videos so realistic ____21____they would blur (模糊) the line between the digital and the real. If you've ever used a text-to-image generative AI tool like DALL-E, you'll see that text-to-video tools work in a similar way. The user provides a hint, like “cat swimming in a fish tank,” and the tool creates a video ____22____ (base) on everything it knows about cats, water, fish and the physics of how they might interact. The tool makes use of what are known as “visual patches (补丁)”, building blocks of data ____23____help the AI to understand how everything in the scene should interact and progress, frame by frame. Tools that are based on a spread system, like OpenAI’s Sora, are trained ____24____ (recognize) objects so they can improve images by deleting the incorrect visual patches. This process could be compared to a worker____25____ (melt) raw gold multiple times in order to remove all its useless elements. One of the remarkable things about OpenAI’s Sora is that it can generate content in a variety of styles. When the project____26____ (disclose) last February, OpenAI claimed that “Sora can generate videos up to a minute long while maintaining visual quality and according to the user's hint.” But there are limits of Sora’s capabilities. As OpenAI shows in some demo videos, the physics of how objects interact in the videos doesn't always make sense. Sometimes people or objects ____27____ (mix) together, transform into other things, disappear or appear out of nowhere. But if the technology can appear suddenly from the strange spaghetti video to ____28____ it is now in a year, these limitations probably won't last long. Besides OpenAI's Sora, Google has two products called Lumiere and VideoPoet, but like Sora, they ____29____not be open for public use yet. These tools are still being seriously tested and improved to ensure that people can't use them to produce inappropriate content or break laws. In the meantime, you can still experiment with simple text-to-video tools ____30____invideo AI, a creation and education in mind. It's perfect for creating online courses, “explainer” videos or providing visuals for a short story. 【答案】21. that 22. based 23. that##which 24. to recognize 25. melting 26. was disclosed 27. will mix 28. where 29. may 30. like 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当前人工智能领域中，特别是文本到视频生成技术的最新进展和应用。 【21题详解】 考查固定搭配。句意：当时人们不会想到，一年后的文本生成视频AI竟能创造出如此逼真的影像，以至于模糊了数字与现实的界限。so...that...“如此……以至于”的固定搭配。故填that。 【22题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：用户输入如“猫在鱼缸里游泳”的提示后，工具会基于其对猫、水、鱼类及物理交互的全部认知生成视频。空格处应该用非谓语动词作状语，动词base与句子的主语the tool之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词based作状语。故填based。 【23题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：该工具利用了所谓的“视觉补丁”，这些是数据的基本构建模块，能够帮助人工智能逐帧理解场景中所有元素之间的相互作用以及如何发展。空格处引导定语从句，对先行词blocks of data进行限定说明，从句中缺少主语，所以应该用关系代词that或which代替先行词在从句中作主语。故填that/which。 【24题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：基于扩散系统的工具，例如OpenAI的Sora，经过训练能够识别物体，从而通过删除错误的视觉区块来提升图像质量。train somebody to do“训练某人做某事”是固定搭配，不定式作补足语，此处用的是被动语态。故填to recognize。 【25题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这一过程可以与一名工人多次熔化生金以去除所有无用成分相提并论。空处为非谓语动词，a worker 与melt为主动关系，用现在分词作定语。故填melting。 【26题详解】 考查时态和语态。句意：当该项目于去年二月公布时，OpenAI声称“Sora能够生成长达一分钟的视频，同时保持视觉质量并根据用户的提示进行创作”。空格处是谓语动词，根据时间状语last February可知，描述过去发生的事，用一般过去时；主语the project与动词disclose之间是被动关系，用被动语态，主语是单数形式，be动词用was。故填was disclosed。 【27题详解】 考查情态动词和动词。句意：有时，人物或物体可能会相互融合、变形为其他事物、凭空消失或突然出现。根据句意和句中的sometimes可知，此处“叙述在某种情况下是真实或可能的事”，所以应该用情态动词will。故填will mix。 【28题详解】 考查宾语从句。句意：但如果这项技术能在短短一年内从奇特的意大利面视频发展到如今的水平，那么这些限制可能不会持续太久。根据句意和空格前的介词to可知，空格后的部分是名宾语从句，空格处应该填入一个连接词引导从句，且意义为“(在)……的地方；(在)……情况下”，所以，应该用连接副词where。故填where。 【29题详解】 考查情态动词。句意：除了OpenAI的Sora之外，谷歌还有两款名为Lumiere和VideoPoet的产品，但和Sora一样，这些产品可能尚未对公众开放使用。根据句意和空格后的动词原形be可知，空格处应该填入一个情态动词，且意义为“可能”，所以应该用may。故填may。 30题详解】 考查介词。句意：与此同时，你仍然可以尝试一些简单的文本到视频的工具，比如invideo AI，它以创作和教育为目的。根据句意和空格后的例子invideo AI可知，空格处应该填入一个介词，且意义为“像，比如”，所以应该用介词like。故填like。 Section B Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box.

Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Unemployment is a significant problem in many developing countries. Without steady work, individuals ____41____ to rise out of poverty, and the community as a whole also misses out. Many unemployed people could have done much good through their labor if they had been given the opportunity to contribute. ____42____, without opportunities for reasonable work, young people sometimes turn to crime and violence in order to provide for themselves. Thus, giving people opportunities to work is essential for the community’s well-being. Unemployment creates many different problems for communities. Encouraging people to start businesses is an effective way to reduce unemployment, and this can be done in several ways. Education plays a vital role in ____43____ people for certain jobs, but many young people find that even if they are ____44____, the jobs are just not there. This was the situation that Rwandan entrepreneur Noel Nizeyimana faced. When he graduated from university with a degree in soil and environmental science, he sent out application after application but received no job offers, so he turned to creating his own business. With three of his colleagues, he founded Greencare Rwanda Ltd., a company that transforms waste into products that can be used for various purposes. ____45____, one of the company’s programs processes waste and turns it into organic fertilizer used by local farmers. The company has also ____46____ into plastic recycling and produces paving materials from sand and plastic. Thus, Greencare Rwanda is providing materials for other industries as well. Greencare Rwanda Ltd was able to ____47____ the ground largely due to funds it received from the UN Youth Joint Programme. This program is a(n) ____48____ to reach the UN’s sustainable development goal of “decent work and economic growth.” The assistance ____49____ helped Greencare, which now produces 400 tons of fertilizer and 2,560 square meters of paving materials per year. It also employs 25 people, which shows that helping people start businesses provides work for more than just the person who receives the funds. All this raises the question of what more can be done to ____50____ young people to start their own businesses. Providing funds to cover the initial costs, as the UN Youth Joint Programme did for Nizeyimana, is certainly important as the starting costs for businesses can be____51____ high. Governments are sometimes hesitant to provide funds to startups because success is not ____52____. Starting a business is risky, and nobody wants to waste money, but experts ____53____ that governments should not impose (强加) too many requirements. Different regions will need different ____54____, so trying to impose a set of one size fits all requirements can restrict growth rather than promote it. While there are other ways to address unemployment, ____55____ young business owners is one of the most effective — especially when those businesses produce goods that genuinely help local communities. 41.

Each passage is followed by several questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) One hundred and eight years ago, the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank to the bottom of the ocean. It was the most luxurious passenger ship of its time and thought to be unsinkable. Sadly, that proved to be false and more than 1,500 of the approximately 2,200 people onboard lost their lives. One reason for the tremendous loss of life was the lack of sufficient lifeboats on the ship. The Titanic had 20 of these small boats, which were meant to be used in an emergency. The boats could carry between 40 and 65 people each. All together, they could hold only 1,178 people, far too few to save all of the passengers and crew. After the Titanic hit the iceberg, an order was given to launch the boats. Many passengers didn’t take the order seriously. Instead of responding to it, they decided to stay indoors rather than go out onto the freezing cold deck. Those passengers who took the order seriously began to get into the boats. Some of the boats were lowered into the ocean before they were full. Two of the boats floated away empty when the ship began to sink. In 1987, movie producer John Joslyn and a team dove to the site of the Titanic’s wreckage in a $20 million submersible (潜水器). They filmed for hundreds of hours. Some of the film was later used in a documentary about the Titanic. Joslyn dreamed of a place where visitors could experience much of what those on board the Titanic actually saw, touched and encountered.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了泰坦尼克号沉船事件及其相关历史和影响。 【56题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“One hundred and eight years ago, the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank to the bottom of the ocean. (108年前，泰坦尼克号撞上冰山，沉入海底。)”可推知，作者通过描述一场发生在海上的灾难来开始这篇文章。故选A。 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The boats could carry between 40 and 65 people each. All together, they could hold only 1,178 people, far too few to save all of the passengers and crew. (这些船每艘可以载40到65人。总共只能容纳1178人，远远不足以拯救所有的乘客和船员。)”可知，文章提供了这些小船的总容量信息。故选B。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“After the Titanic hit the iceberg, an order was given to launch the boats. Many passengers didn’t take the order seriously. Instead of responding to it, they decided to stay indoors rather than go out onto the freezing cold deck. (泰坦尼克号撞上冰山后，下令放下救生艇。许多乘客没有认真对待这个命令。他们没有做出回应，而是决定待在室内，而不是走到冰冷刺骨的甲板上。)”可知，许多人犯的错误是他们忽视了一个重要的命令。故选D。 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Located in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, TMA is the world’s largest permanent Titanic museum with over 400 Titanic artifacts (文物). (TMA坐落于美国田纳西州的鸽子谷，是世界上最大的永久性泰坦尼克号博物馆，馆内藏有400多件泰坦尼克号文物。)”可知，TMA包含了一艘沉船上的物品。故选C。 (B) Martizia A. Morelos 18 Maison Rd. Los Angeles, CA 95550 333-555-1222 September 15, 2024 Dear Mr. and Mrs. Andreas and Finn Schulz, I am writing this letter to give you notice that we will require you to leave our rental unit at 7 Banelle Drive, Unit 1602 on February 1, 2025. This notice gives you 4.5 months' notice, which is more than the state's required 3 months of notice for repairs. During this time, we will be installing a new kitchen, adding a washer and dryer in the apartment and upgrading the bathrooms. Additionally, we will be changing the floors and painting the entire unit. We expect the repairs will take at least four months, if not longer. There have been some supply issues recently, so there may be delays because we can’t get some materials. However, we would like to know if you would like to return to the apartment after the repairs are done. Of course, we know that many things can change between now and next year when everything will hopefully be ready. If you know for sure that you won’t be renting our place again (and we will have to charge an additional 15%), could you please let us know immediately? You can always change your mind when we list the place again for rental. You have been wonderful renters and we hope that you will want to return and rent our place again. We would love to see you enjoy the new additions and upgrades! Please call us anytime with your questions. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Martizia A.

B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。房主Martizia通知Schulzes夫妇2025年2月1日搬离以便装修，维修至少4个月，询问其之后是否续租。 【60题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I am writing this letter to give you notice that we will require you to leave our rental unit at 7 Banelle Drive, Unit 1602 on February 1, 2025. This notice gives you 4.5 months' notice, which is more than the state's required 3 months of notice for repairs.(我写这封信是为了通知你们，我们要求你们在2025年2月1日离开我们位于巴内尔大道7号1602单元的出租房。本通知给了你们4个半月的通知期，这比该州规定的维修通知期3个月要长。)”以及第三段第一句“We expect the repairs will take at least four months, if not longer.(我们预计维修至少需要四个月，如果不是更长时间的话。)”可知，租客在2月1日要离开，且维修至少需要四个月，所以他们得离开至少四个月。故选D项。 【61题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“During this time, we will be installing a new kitchen, adding a washer and dryer in the apartment and upgrading the bathrooms. Additionally, we will be changing the floors and painting the entire unit.(在此期间，我们将安装一个新厨房，在公寓里增加一台洗衣机和烘干机，并升级浴室。此外，我们将更换地板并粉刷整个单元。)”可知，房主会升级浴室，也就是让浴室变得更好。故选A项。 【62题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“You have been wonderful renters and we hope that you will want to return and rent our place again. We would love to see you enjoy the new additions and upgrades!(你们一直是很棒的租客，我们希望你们愿意回来再次租我们的房子。我们很希望看到你们享受新增加的设施和升级后的房子！)”可知，房主Martizia认为租客Schulzes夫妇是很棒的租客，并且希望他们之后还能回来租房子，由此可以推断出他们之间关系友好。故选B项。 (C) Every day we are surrounded by large amounts of information, much of which is given by people who want to shape our decisions. So, we need to evaluate the information and determine how we should respond. Evaluating information and arguments requires critical thinking, the ability to think clearly and see how ideas are connected. Like any skill, critical thinking can be learned, and the best way to learn it is by practicing. You cannot evaluate an argument that you do not understand. Thus, the first step to critical thinking must always be listening. You may need to ask questions to clarify the person’s claims. Ask them to define their key terms, especially words with multiple meanings. Once you understand what the person is saying, then you can consider whether it is true. The most important question is whether the facts they state are actually true. You can try to figure this out by considering the source of the facts and whether the facts line up with what you already know about the topic. If there is a conflict, you must then discover whether your original understanding was incorrect or whether the new claims are wrong. It’s also possible to draw incorrect conclusions from correct facts. Often this comes from mistakes in logic, so learning about common logical fallacies (谬论) and how to recognize them can help. Also consider whether there could be another explanation for the facts besides the one you’ve been given. Critical thinking also involves examining people’s motivations and assumptions. For example, a salesman will present facts that are selected to convince you to buy what he is selling. He will leave out facts that don’t help him reach that goal. Assumptions can likewise affect people’s claims since people want to confirm what they already believe. It is necessary that you recognize these factors to predict when someone else’s statements might not be accurate or complete. Finally, critical thinking requires examining your own beliefs and assumptions as well. Poking holes in other people’s arguments can be necessary, but you must acknowledge the possibility that your own beliefs are wrong. Your own assumptions and motivations may affect your thinking without you realizing it. By critically examining both your own and other people’ opinions, you can understand the way the world works and make decisions in light of the truth. 63. According to the passage, which one of the following is TRUE? A. The majority of information given to us is actually to shape our minds. B. Critical thinking is usually learned by practicing, like any other skills. C. Only when you fully understand one’s claims, can you make a right evaluation. D. A conflict between the original understanding and a new one is critical thinking. 64. What is the purpose of the example of a salesman given in the passage? A. To illustrate the important function of critical thinking B. To confirm the difference of people’s motivations and assumptions C. To convince people to buy the product mentioned in the passage D. To warn people to pay special attention to the facts given 65. The expression “Poking holes in other people’s arguements” in the last paragraph probably means ______. A. Finding out others’ faults B. Evaluating others’ opinions C. Criticizing others’ points of view D. Supporting others’ ideas 66. What can we conclude from the passage? A. Drawing incorrect decisions from facts depends on its logic. B. A fact may sometimes guide us to make a wrong decision. C. Critical thinking is connected with one’s own beliefs and assumptions. D. Without logic knowledge, critical thinking is impossible to occur. 【答案】63. C 64. D 65. A 66. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何用批判性思维来评价和回应我们所接收到的信息。 【63题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“You cannot evaluate an argument that you do not understand.(你不能评价一个你不理解的观点。)”和第四段“Once you understand what the person is saying, then you can consider whether it is true.(一旦你明白了这个人在说什么，你就可以考虑他说的是不是真的。)”可知，只有当你完全明白一个人表明的观点时，你才能够做出正确的评价。故选C。 【64题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“For example, a salesman will present facts that are selected to convince you to buy what he is selling. He will leave out facts that don’t help him reach that goal. Assumptions can likewise affect people’s claims since people want to confirm what they already believe. It is necessary that you recognize these factors to predict when someone else’s statements might not be accurate or complete.(例如，一个推销员会展示一些经过挑选的事实来说服你买他卖的东西。他会忽略那些不利于他达到目标的事实。假设同样会影响人们的说法，因为人们想要确认他们已经相信的东西。你有必要认识到这些因素，以预测别人的陈述何时可能不准确或不完整。)”可知，销售员为了自己的销量，只会向人们展示有利于产品销售的事实，而忽略那些不利的事实，同时人们也总是倾向于相信他们自认为是事实的东西。因此文章提到销售员的例子，是为了警告人们要特别注意所给出事实的真实性。故选D。 【65题详解】 词义猜测题。根据最后一段“but you must acknowledge the possibility that your own beliefs are wrong.(但你必须承认自己的信念有可能是错误的。)”，该句与划线短语所在句“Poking holes in other people’s arguments can be necessary (Poking holes in other people’s arguments可能是必要的)”为转折关系，故应该表示虽然找出别人观点的错误是必要的，但是也须承认自己的信念也可能是错误的。故划线短语表示“找出别人的错误”。故选A。 【66题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“It’s also possible to draw incorrect conclusions from correct facts.(从正确的事实中得出错误的结论也是可能的。)”和第六段“For example, a salesman will present facts that are selected to convince you to buy what he is selling.(例如，一个推销员会展示一些经过挑选的事实来说服你买他卖的东西。)”可知，有时候正确的事实也会得出错误的结论，一个事实也可能会让人作出错误的决定。故选B。 Section C Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. In the world of social media, people often create videos to share their knowledge about a series of topics, from piano lessons to computer repair. As a result, when someone is seeking an answer to a question, they often turn to YouTube for an answer. It stands to reason that those who have trouble with studying would also consult YouTube for a solution. ____67____ In Korea, the popular videos are called “gongbang,” which means Study Broadcast. In Japan, they’re called “benkyoudouga,” and in America and other countries, they’re called Study with Me. No matter what their names are, many viewers have jumped on the SWM bandwagon. Students create and share videos of themselves studying earnestly, usually for an exam. Many of the videos are shot in a quiet room. The camera often focuses on a clean desk with a tidy display of books, notebooks, a computer and a timer. Throughout most of the videos, no words are spoken; the focus is on the creator as he or she studies. ____68____ Are SWM videos just “lazy content,” or are they beneficial? Financial site Business Insider says this type of video “serves a real purpose, helping people focus.” The Korea Advanced Institute of Science an Technology performed research on Study with Me videos and discovered several benefits. First, people can set up quiet study areas in their homes to view the videos. ____69____ Next, observing the diligence of the creator often motivates viewers, especially those who have trouble studying. Finally, viewer gain emotional support by knowing that they are part of a group with perhaps thousands others, all working toward the same goal. Some viewers have said that Study with Me “satisfies the need for belonging and social contact” by providing a sense of companionship. ____70____ Some SWM livestreams, where viewers can chat with each other in real time, feel like online study groups. This helps create a satisfactory study environment where students — even those who struggle — can find the inspiration they need to stay on task. A. The point is not to teach anything but simply to provide a study companion. B. The creator becomes a study partner, which reduces the isolation many students feel. C. That is why SWM comes into being, and becomes more and more popular these days. D. That’s where Study with Me (SWM) videos come into play. E. Silent videos can help students overcome the feelings of isolation and loneliness. F. This cuts down on their commute (通勤) to libraries or established study rooms. 【答案】67. D 68. A 69. F 70.

Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.  As soon as they walk into a room, tall people command attention. They also enjoy some advantages, such as being considered attractive (especially for men). Tall people also tend to have higher status jobs and consequently earn more money than others. It’s no wonder that many young people are concerned about growing as tall as possible. There are many myths (荒诞的说法) about growth and height in circulation (流通), though, so let’s examine them and find out the truth. Myth: People stop growing during puberty (青春期). Fact: Boys can still grow even in their early 20s though both girls and boys grow more during childhood and puberty. Girls tend to grow more at younger ages than boys. But boys catch up and usually pass girls by the time they reach adulthood. Myth: A person’s height is completely determined by genes. Fact: Genes do play a role, determining about 60 to 80 percent of a person’s height. But the rest is influenced by environmental factors. Nutrition during childhood is the most important. Without enough vitamins, minerals, and protein, children do not become as tall as their genes would allow. Myth: Caffeine stops children from growing. Fact: In moderation, caffeine does not restrict growth. A child or teenager can have a cup of coffee or tea with no ill effects on height. However, too much caffeine use might restrict growth because it prevents sleep, which is when most growth happens. Myth: Stretching or hanging upside down can make you taller. Fact: It’s not clear whether this is true or not. Some evidence indicates that stretching can increase height while one is growing. But this doesn’t work once one is fully grown. Hanging upside down makes one taller temporarily, but this may not make a lasting difference. Understanding how growth happens can help people make decisions. For young people who are still growing, a healthy diet is the best way for them to maximize their height. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The passage provides the answers to people’s confusions/questions about growth. Boys still grow in their early 20s while girls grow more during childhood and puberty. Besides genes, environment and nutrition also affect one’s height. Proper amount of caffeine doesn’t have ill effects on height. Stretching or hanging upside down may help one grow before his full maturity. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍说高个子在进入房间时往往能吸引注意，并享有某些优势，接着，文章列举了四个关于身高增长的常见误解，并逐一进行反驳和解释，包括青春期后停止生长、身高完全由基因决定、咖啡因阻碍儿童生长以及拉伸或倒挂能使人长高。最后，文章强调了解生长过程有助于人们做出决策，对于仍在成长的年轻人来说，健康的饮食是最大化身高的最佳方式。 【详解】1.要点摘录 ①There are many myths (荒诞的说法) about growth and height in circulation (流通), though, so let’s examine them and find out the truth. ②Boys can still grow even in their early 20s though both girls and boys grow more during childhood and puberty. ③Genes do play a role, determining about 60 to 80 percent of a person’s height. But the rest is influenced by environmental factors. Nutrition during childhood is the most important. ④In moderation, caffeine does not restrict growth.

Besides genes, environment and nutrition also affect one’s height. It clarifies that proper amount of caffeine doesn’t have ill effects on height, and stretching or hanging upside down may help one grow before his full maturity. 【点睛】[高分句型1] The passage clarifies the myths about growth, explaining that boys still grow in their early 20s while girls grow more during childhood and puberty. 运用一个复杂的宾语从句对原文第一段和第二段进行了概括。其中that引导的是宾语从句、现在分词作状语等表达高级。 [高分句型2]：It clarifies that proper amount of caffeine doesn’t have ill effects on height, and stretching or hanging upside down may help one grow before his full maturity.用that引导宾语从句对倒数第二段和倒数第三段进行了概括，表达非常高级。 V.

When you hear a question, you will have seven seconds to decide which choice would be the best answer to the question you have heard questions eleven through thirteen are based on the following passage. Now you have thirty seconds to read all the choices on the screen. Have you ever been outside at night and seen how fireflies light up around you? This is called bioluminesc ence, and it's when living things can make their own life. Unlike us who need electricity to turn on lights, some animals and creatures can glow all by themselves, thanks to special stuff in their bodies. This super cool ability to shine is something you'll find a lot in the ocean, which is super dark. Once you go deep. Many see animals, like different kinds of fish, can light up too. Scientists just found out about the biggest animal ever that can do this, and it's a shark called the kite fin shark. The kite fin shark can get as long as about one point eight meters, which is tower than most people. It's got thousands of tiny light spots on its skin that let IT shine. Scientists are still trying to figure out why IT shines. Maybe the light helps the shark fine food, or maybe IT helps IT move to smaller fish without them noticing. If the smaller fish look up, they can see the shark shining against the light from above, so the shark can catch them easily. It's pretty amazing how nature works, right? Now listen again.

Questions, love in what is bioluminesc? Twelve, what is the kite thin shark known for? Thirteen, what might be the reason why the kite fin shark uses its light? Questions fourteen through sixteen are based on the following passage. Now you have thirteen seconds to read all the choices on the screen. Electronics word on the body serve a variety of purposes, from basic time telling watches to smart watches that can deliver emails, devices like fitbit truck steps in there are monitors, Taylor red, for people to maintain their health. A common chAllenge for all these variables is their reliance on batteries for power. To address this, researchers are expLoring innovative power sources. They've developed small, square pieces that attached a person's fingertips. These pieces are most effective during sleep as they collect tiny amounts of sweat from the fingertips. The sweat contains chemicals that can be turned into electricity. The pieces also generate power when a person presses their fingertips together. This technology could revolutionize how we power wearable, able devices. IT offers a sustainable and convenient alternative to traditional batteries. Imagine a world where your smart watch or health monitor never needs charging because it's powered by your body's natural processes. These pieces represent a significant step towards eco friendly and self sustaining wearable technology. The implications of this technology are vast. IT could lead to new kinds of wearable ables that don't require batteries ies, making them more convenient and environmentally friendly. As this technology advances, IT promises to change the way we interpret with personal electronics.

Fifteen, what is the function of the small square pieces? Sixteen, what is the point of the technology introduced in the passage? Questions seventeen, three, twenty are based on the following conversation. Now you have forty seconds to read all the choices on the screen. Hey, alex, have you seen this trend where everything has activated carbon? El, it's in tooth based cleaning agents, even food. Yeah, I noticed that too. Seems like it's the latest trend. But do you think IT actually works well? This article says there's no solid evidence IT makes your teeth wider or breath pressure IT could even be damaging to teeth. Seriously, I thought I was supposed to be good for purification and similar purposes. That's just marketing. I guess there's no scientific evidence for the purification claims either. A dietitian, vy linger, mentioned that while it's not harmful, IT probably won't have the effects people are expecting. Um that's disappointing. IT does look cool though, especially in ice cream and pizza. True, but it's all for the look. Then before we buy into this trend, we should consider if it's worth the extra money when there's no proven . benefit agreed. I stick to my regular products for now and maybe try the carbon ice cream just once for the experience. Sounds like a plan. Let's not let the trend dictate our choices on. Let's be smart consumers.
