B On a cold winter night, two beagles, Pepper and Cooper, walked along a snowy road in Bethel, Ohio. They had no home and needed a safe, warm place to rest. Pepper, the female dog, was pregnant, and Cooper stayed close to protect her. Gus Kiebel, a wildlife officer, was driving home when he saw the dogs in the snow. He noticed they wore collars with name tags. Gus stopped his truck and gently approached them. The dogs didn’t try to run away. He read their names and tried calling the number on their tags, but the snow made it hard to use his phone. Gus decided to take the dogs into his truck to keep them warm. He called the number again, but the owner said he didn’t want the dogs anymore. Realizing they were abandoned, Gus called his wife, Katie. She told him to bring them home because they couldn’t leave the dogs outside in the storm. That night, Gus and Katie gave the dogs food, water, and a warm bed on their porch. The two beagles stayed close to each other, showing how much they cared for one another. Although Gus had always wanted beagles, the couple already had a family dog and couldn’t keep Pepper and Cooper. The next day, Gus contacted a no-kill animal shelter. Katie brought the dogs there but made the staff promise to keep them together. She called often to check on them, glad to hear they were safe and cared for. A few days after Christmas, the shelter told her Pepper and Cooper had been adopted as a pair by a loving family. In the middle of a snowy winter, two abandoned dogs found a warm home, thanks to the kindness of strangers. 29. How did Gus realize Pepper and Cooper had been left behind? A. They walked along the snowy road. B. Their tags’ phone number didn’t work. C. The owner refused to take them back. D. They didn’t try to run away from Gus. 30. Which is similar in meaning to the underlined word “adopted”? A. Bought. B. Accepted. C. Treated. D. Moved. 31. What is the correct order of the story? a. Gus dialed the number on the dogs’ tags. b. Katie asked the shelter to keep them together. c. Gus brought the dogs inside his truck. d. The dogs were taken in by a kind family. A. a—c—b—d B. c—a—b—d C. a—b—c—d D. c—b—a—d 32. What is the best title for the story? A. Warm Place in the Snow B. Snowstorm and Poor Dogs C A Helping Hand in the Cold D. Gus and the Beagles’ Journey C A single researcher with a desktop computer can now make correct weather forecasts using a new AI method that is much faster and uses far less computing power than traditional systems. At present, weather forecasts are made through many difficult steps, each taking hours. These systems need supercomputers and large teams of experts to develop and keep them working. However, Aardvark Weather offers a new method by training AI to collect data from weather stations, satellites, weather balloons, ships, and planes around the world to make predictions. This promises improvements in forecast speed, correctness, and cost, according to research published in Nature by the University of Cambridge, the Alan Turing Institute, Microsoft Research, and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). Professor Richard Turner from the University of Cambridge explained that this new method can quickly create specialized forecasts for different industries or locations. For example, it could guess temperatures for farms in Africa or wind speeds for wind energy companies in Europe. Traditional weather systems require large teams and supercomputers to deal with data and create forecasting models, taking hours for just one forecast. “This is a totally different method,” Turner said, adding that the model would finally be able to provide correct eight-day forecasts, compared to the present five-day limit, and offer more localized predictions. Dr. Scott Hosking from the Alan Turing Institute said that this breakthrough could make weather forecasting available to more countries, especially developing countries. It will also help governments, emergency teams, and businesses that need weather predictions. Dr. Anna Allen, the lead author of the paper, highlighted that this research could improve forecasts of natural disasters like hurricanes and wildfires, as well as problems like air quality and sea ice predictions. Aardvark builds from research from Huawei, Google, and Microsoft, replacing a key step in the traditional method with AI, which makes forecasts faster and more correct. It is already in use at the ECMWF. Researchers found that Aardvark only needs 10% of the data used by present systems, yet in some areas, it does better than the US National GFS forecasting system and matches the correctness of the US Weather Service. 33. What is the main advantage of the new AI weather prediction method? A It depends on supercomputers. B. It requires large teams of experts. C. It predicts for longer periods of time. D. It works faster with less computing power. 34. What makes the new weather prediction model different from traditional systems? A. It mainly predicts weather for developed countries. B. It can hardly predict natural disasters and air quality. C. It gathers data from different sources across the world. D. It only pays attention to specific industries like agriculture. 35. What can we infer about the new weather prediction method? A. It doesn’t need human effort. B. It is more expensive to use. C. It requires less data to work. D. It doesn’t develop specialized forecasts. 36. What is the purpose of the article? A. To describe weather forecasting history. B. To introduce a new AI weather model. C. To criticize traditional weather systems. D. To explain the role of supercomputers. D It was Christmas Eve, and Ebenezer Scrooge was in his office, counting money. Scrooge was a lonely, greedy man who cared only about wealth. When his nephew Fred came to wish him a Merry Christmas, Scrooge replied coldly: “Bah! Humbug! Christmas is just a waste of time!” Fred tried to explain that Christmas was about kindness, giving, and family, but Scrooge wasn’t interested. “Keep Christmas your way,” Scrooge snapped. “Let me keep it my way!” Later that night, as Scrooge was getting ready for bed, the doorbell rang. He opened the door and saw the ghost of his old partner, Jacob Marley, standing before him. Marley was covered with chains (链条) , pulling heavy locks behind him. “What do you want with me?” Scrooge asked, shaking. “I have come to warn you,” said Marley’s ghost. “You will be visited by three spirits tonight. They will show you what your life has been, what it is now, and what it will become if you do not change.” Scrooge was frightened but listened carefully. Marley disappeared, and Scrooge was left alone in his dark, cold room. The first spirit appeared: the Ghost of Christmas Past, dressed in bright clothes. The spirit took Scrooge back in time to his childhood. Scrooge saw himself as a young boy, sitting alone in a classroom on Christmas Eve. Then they visited a scene where Scrooge, as a young man, worked for a kind boss named Mr. Fezziwig, who celebrated Christmas with his workers. Scrooge felt sadness as he remembered the joy he once had. The spirit then showed him how he had fallen in love with a woman named Belle. She had loved him, but as he became more focused on money, he pushed her away. She left him, and Scrooge realized he had lost the most important things in life for wealth. The second spirit appeared: the Ghost of Christmas Present, a large figure in green. The spirit showed Scrooge the present day, beginning with Fred’s Christmas party. Fred continued to show love and kindness to his uncle, even though Scrooge never made any response. Scrooge was moved to see how Fred’s happiness was not affected by his uncle’s absence. The spirit also took Scrooge to the home of Bob Cratchit, his employee. Bob’s family was poor, but they celebrated Christmas with love. Bob’s youngest son, Tiny Tim, was very sick, but the Cratchits stayed hopeful. Scrooge felt sorrow as he saw Tiny Tim’s condition and began to care for the people he had paid no attention to. Finally, the third spirit arrived: the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, a dark, silent figure dressed in black. It pointed to scenes of the future, showing Scrooge the death of Tiny Tim if nothing changed. Then the spirit showed Scrooge his own lonely death. People spoke badly of him, and no one cried for him. Scrooge was frightened by what he saw. The spirit pointed to a tomb. Scrooge read the name on the tombstone and saw that it was his own. He fell to his knees, begging for a chance to change. “Spirit,” he cried, “I will not be the same man I was before! I will accept the spirit of Christmas and live a better life!” 37. Why did Scrooge reply “Bah! Humbug!” when Fred wished him a Merry Christmas? A. He only cared about money. B. He disliked Fred’s behavior. C. He hated staying with family. D. He thought Christmas was tiring. 38. How did the Ghost of Christmas Past affect Scrooge? A. Scrooge didn’t care about his past. B. Scrooge was regretful for lost happiness. C Scrooge became angry about his past. D. Scrooge felt happy remembering his youth. 39. What did Scrooge do after seeing his future death? A. He didn’t care about the future. B. He saw his troubles would end. C. He promised to change his ways. D. He was unsure about what to do. 40. What is the main lesson from the story? A. The importance of wealth and success. B. The value of kindness and love. C. The need to focus on change and growth. D. The duty to help the poor in need. 第二节 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Good communication is very important. It helps us share ideas, work better with others, and reach our goals.

They had no home and needed a safe, warm place to rest. Pepper, the female dog, was pregnant, and Cooper stayed close to protect her. Gus Kiebel, a wildlife officer, was driving home when he saw the dogs in the snow. He noticed they wore collars with name tags. Gus stopped his truck and gently approached them. The dogs didn’t try to run away. He read their names and tried calling the number on their tags, but the snow made it hard to use his phone. Gus decided to take the dogs into his truck to keep them warm. He called the number again, but the owner said he didn’t want the dogs anymore. Realizing they were abandoned, Gus called his wife, Katie. She told him to bring them home because they couldn’t leave the dogs outside in the storm. That night, Gus and Katie gave the dogs food, water, and a warm bed on their porch. The two beagles stayed close to each other, showing how much they cared for one another. Although Gus had always wanted beagles, the couple already had a family dog and couldn’t keep Pepper and Cooper. The next day, Gus contacted a no-kill animal shelter. Katie brought the dogs there but made the staff promise to keep them together. She called often to check on them, glad to hear they were safe and cared for. A few days after Christmas, the shelter told her Pepper and Cooper had been adopted as a pair by a loving family. In the middle of a snowy winter, two abandoned dogs found a warm home, thanks to the kindness of strangers. 29. How did Gus realize Pepper and Cooper had been left behind? A. They walked along the snowy road. B. Their tags’ phone number didn’t work. C. The owner refused to take them back. D. They didn’t try to run away from Gus. 30.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了Gus Kiebel夫妇在寒冷的冬天收留了两只被遗弃的狗，并为它们找新家的故事。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“He called the number again, but the owner said he didn’t want the dogs anymore. Realizing they were abandoned...”可知，Gus拨打了它们标签上的号码，但主人说他不想再养狗了，由此得知这两只狗被遗弃了。故选C。 【30题详解】 词义猜测题。根据最后一段“A few days after Christmas, the shelter told her Pepper and Cooper had been  adopted  as a pair by a loving family.”可知，圣诞节后几天，收容所告诉她，这两只狗已被一个充满爱的家庭收养。adopt意为“收养”，所以与adopt意思相近的词是accept。故选B。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“He read their names and tried calling the number on their tags”可知，a排在第一；根据第三段“Gus decided to take the dogs into his truck to keep them warm.”可知，c排在第二；根据第五段“She called often to check on them, glad to hear they were safe and cared for.”可知，b排在第三；根据第五段“A few days after Christmas, the shelter told her Pepper and Cooper had been adopted as a pair by a loving family.”可知，d排在第四。故选A。 【32题详解】 最佳标题题。根据最后一段“In the middle of a snowy winter, two abandoned dogs found a warm home, thanks to the kindness of strangers.”并结合全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了Gus Kiebel夫妇在寒冷的冬天收留了两只被遗弃的狗，并为它们找新家的故事。选项C“寒冷中的援助之手”最适合作为本文标题。故选C。 C A single researcher with a desktop computer can now make correct weather forecasts using a new AI method that is much faster and uses far less computing power than traditional systems. At present, weather forecasts are made through many difficult steps, each taking hours. These systems need supercomputers and large teams of experts to develop and keep them working. However, Aardvark Weather offers a new method by training AI to collect data from weather stations, satellites, weather balloons, ships, and planes around the world to make predictions. This promises improvements in forecast speed, correctness, and cost, according to research published in Nature by the University of Cambridge, the Alan Turing Institute, Microsoft Research, and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). Professor Richard Turner from the University of Cambridge explained that this new method can quickly create specialized forecasts for different industries or locations. For example, it could guess temperatures for farms in Africa or wind speeds for wind energy companies in Europe. Traditional weather systems require large teams and supercomputers to deal with data and create forecasting models, taking hours for just one forecast. “This is a totally different method,” Turner said, adding that the model would finally be able to provide correct eight-day forecasts, compared to the present five-day limit, and offer more localized predictions. Dr. Scott Hosking from the Alan Turing Institute said that this breakthrough could make weather forecasting available to more countries, especially developing countries. It will also help governments, emergency teams, and businesses that need weather predictions. Dr. Anna Allen, the lead author of the paper, highlighted that this research could improve forecasts of natural disasters like hurricanes and wildfires, as well as problems like air quality and sea ice predictions. Aardvark builds from research from Huawei, Google, and Microsoft, replacing a key step in the traditional method with AI, which makes forecasts faster and more correct. It is already in use at the ECMWF. Researchers found that Aardvark only needs 10% of the data used by present systems, yet in some areas, it does better than the US National GFS forecasting system and matches the correctness of the US Weather Service. 33. What is the main advantage of the new AI weather prediction method? A. It depends on supercomputers. B. It requires large teams of experts. C. It predicts for longer periods of time. D. It works faster with less computing power. 34. What makes the new weather prediction model different from traditional systems? A. It mainly predicts weather for developed countries. B. It can hardly predict natural disasters and air quality. C. It gathers data from different sources across the world. D. It only pays attention to specific industries like agriculture. 35. What can we infer about the new weather prediction method? A. It doesn’t need human effort. B. It is more expensive to use. C. It requires less data to work. D. It doesn’t develop specialized forecasts. 36. What is the purpose of the article? A. To describe weather forecasting history. B. To introduce a new AI weather model. C. To criticize traditional weather systems. D. To explain the role of supercomputers. 【答案】33. D 34. C 35. C 36. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一种新的AI天气预报方法Aardvark Weather，该方法比传统系统更快、更高效，且能提供更精准的局部预测。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“A single researcher with a desktop computer can now make correct weather forecasts using a new AI method that is much faster and uses far less computing power than traditional systems.”可知，新方法的主要优势是速度快且计算能力需求低。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据“However, Aardvark Weather offers a new method by training AI to collect data from weather stations, satellites, weather balloons, ships, and planes around the world to make predictions.”可知，新系统的差异在于它从全球不同来源收集数据。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Researchers found that Aardvark only needs 10% of the data used by present systems, yet in some areas, it does better than the US National GFS forecasting system and matches the correctness of the US Weather Service.”可知，研究人员发现Aardvark仅需现有系统10%的数据量，由此可推断，它对数据的需求量更少。故选C。 【36题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“A single researcher with a desktop computer can now make correct weather forecasts using a new AI method that is much faster and uses far less computing power than traditional systems.”及全文可知，本文主要是介绍了一种新的AI天气预报方法Aardvark Weather。故选B。 D It was Christmas Eve, and Ebenezer Scrooge was in his office, counting money. Scrooge was a lonely, greedy man who cared only about wealth. When his nephew Fred came to wish him a Merry Christmas, Scrooge replied coldly: “Bah! Humbug! Christmas is just a waste of time!” Fred tried to explain that Christmas was about kindness, giving, and family, but Scrooge wasn’t interested. “Keep Christmas your way,” Scrooge snapped. “Let me keep it my way!” Later that night, as Scrooge was getting ready for bed, the doorbell rang. He opened the door and saw the ghost of his old partner, Jacob Marley, standing before him. Marley was covered with chains (链条) , pulling heavy locks behind him. “What do you want with me?” Scrooge asked, shaking. “I have come to warn you,” said Marley’s ghost. “You will be visited by three spirits tonight. They will show you what your life has been, what it is now, and what it will become if you do not change.” Scrooge was frightened but listened carefully. Marley disappeared and Scrooge was left alone in his dark, cold room. The first spirit appeared: the Ghost of Christmas Past, dressed in bright clothes. The spirit took Scrooge back in time to his childhood. Scrooge saw himself as a young boy, sitting alone in a classroom on Christmas Eve. Then they visited a scene where Scrooge, as a young man, worked for a kind boss named Mr. Fezziwig, who celebrated Christmas with his workers. Scrooge felt sadness as he remembered the joy he once had. The spirit then showed him how he had fallen in love with a woman named Belle. She had loved him, but as he became more focused on money, he pushed her away. She left him, and Scrooge realized he had lost the most important things in life for wealth. The second spirit appeared: the Ghost of Christmas Present, a large figure in green. The spirit showed Scrooge the present day, beginning with Fred’s Christmas party. Fred continued to show love and kindness to his uncle, even though Scrooge never made any response. Scrooge was moved to see how Fred’s happiness was not affected by his uncle’s absence. The spirit also took Scrooge to the home of Bob Cratchit, his employee. Bob’s family was poor, but they celebrated Christmas with love. Bob’s youngest son, Tiny Tim, was very sick, but the Cratchits stayed hopeful. Scrooge felt sorrow as he saw Tiny Tim’s condition and began to care for the people he had paid no attention to. Finally, the third spirit arrived: the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, a dark, silent figure dressed in black. It pointed to scenes of the future, showing Scrooge the death of Tiny Tim if nothing changed. Then the spirit showed Scrooge his own lonely death. People spoke badly of him, and no one cried for him. Scrooge was frightened by what he saw. The spirit pointed to a tomb. Scrooge read the name on the tombstone and saw that it was his own. He fell to his knees, begging for a chance to change. “Spirit,” he cried, “I will not be the same man I was before! I will accept the spirit of Christmas and live a better life!” 37. Why did Scrooge reply “Bah! Humbug!” when Fred wished him a Merry Christmas? A. He only cared about money. B. He disliked Fred’s behavior. C. He hated staying with family. D. He thought Christmas was tiring. 38. How did the Ghost of Christmas Past affect Scrooge? A. Scrooge didn’t care about his past. B. Scrooge was regretful for lost happiness. C. Scrooge became angry about his past. D. Scrooge felt happy remembering his youth. 39. What did Scrooge do after seeing his future death? A. He didn’t care about the future. B.

I will always keep the sweet memories in mind. The most precious memory for me was the school science festival last year.​ Our team decided to create a robot that could sort different colored balls. At first, we faced many difficulties, like programming errors and mechanical failures. But we didn’t give up. After countless attempts and improvements, our robot finally worked perfectly. When it successfully sorted the balls in front of the judges, we jumped up and cheered with excitement. Through this activity, I not only learned a lot about science and technology but also deepened my friendship with teammates.​ To younger students, I suggest: First, actively take part in school activities, because they can broaden your horizons and develop your skills.
