But in some ways, big isn’t always best, at least where carbon footprints are concerned. From kayaking (划独木舟) the Everglades to going electric in Washington, DC, here are four trips where you can go sustainably while still enjoying the very best of the US. Kayak the Everglades Avoid the typical motor-powered boat tour across Florida’s 1.5 million-acre wetlands for a gentler experience. Paddling (用桨划) a kayak through the thousands of islands, you’ll get the chance to spot dolphins, sea turtles and manatees. Extend your visit with an expert-led kayak camping trip, lasting between two and four days. Take a hike through Yosemite Most visitors tour California’s national park by car. But on Wildland Trekking’s six-day Wonders of Yosemite trip, you’ll explore lakes, rivers and grassland without leaving a trace, sleeping under a blanket of stars and experiencing it at its remotest parts. Swim around Hawaii Hawaii’s Big Island is one of the most dramatic natural corners of the US, home to lava fields and forests encircled by blue sea. SwimTrek offer a one-week swimming tour of the island, taking in Garden Eel Cove — famed for its manta rays (蝠鲼) — and Mahai’ula Bay, home to turtles, which you can watch from a respectful distance. Go electric in Washington, DC Visit the greatest hits of the US capital, from the White House to the Smithsonian, on a three days’ tour in an electric car. With stops along the way, you’ll get to stretch legs and explore, while your guide’s tips will make you keen to return for further discovery. 1. What can visitors do when taking a hike through Yosemite? A. Observe manta rays. B. Enjoy the starry sky. C. Take a guided camping trip. D. Protect a piece of grassland. 2. Which trip lasts the longest? A. Take a hike through Yosemite. B. Go electric in Washington, DC. C. Swim around Hawaii. D. Kayak the Everglades. 3. What do the four trips have in common? A. They are low-impact travel. B. They offer professional guides. C. They are favored by animal lovers. D. They feature beautiful natural scenery. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了美国四处可持续旅行的好去处及其特色。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Take a hike through Yosemite部分中“But on Wildland Trekking’s six-day Wonders of Yosemite trip, you’ll explore lakes, rivers and grassland without leaving a trace, sleeping under a blanket of stars and experiencing it at its remotest parts.(但在荒野徒步旅行公司为期六天的约塞米蒂奇观之旅中，你将探索湖泊、河流和草原，不留下任何痕迹，在繁星的笼罩下入睡，并在其最偏远的地方体验它)”可知，在约塞米蒂徒步旅行时，游客可以在星空下睡觉，即能够欣赏星空。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Kayak the Everglades部分“Extend your visit with an expert-led kayak camping trip, lasting between two and four days.(通过参加由专家带领的皮划艇露营旅行来延长你的行程，该旅行持续两到四天)”，Take a hike through Yosemite部分“But on Wildland Trekking’s six-day Wonders of Yosemite trip(但在荒野徒步旅行公司为期六天的约塞米蒂奇观之旅中)”，Swim around Hawaii部分“SwimTrek offer a one-week swimming tour of the island(SwimTrek 提供为期一周的该岛游泳之旅)”，及Go electric in Washington, DC部分“Visit the greatest hits of the US capital, from the White House to the Smithsonian, on a three days’ tour in an electric car.(乘坐电动汽车进行为期三天的旅行，参观美国首都的热门景点，从白宫到史密森尼博物馆)”可知，夏威夷游泳旅行持续时间最长。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“From kayaking the Everglades to going electric in Washington, DC, here are four trips where you can go sustainably while still enjoying the very best of the US.(从在大沼泽地划独木舟到在华盛顿特区乘坐电动汽车，这里有四次旅行，你可以在享受美国最美好一面的同时进行可持续旅行)”可知，这四处旅行都是可持续的，它们都是低影响的旅行。故选A。 B Frankie Gaw, an Asian American food creator and author of a cookbook, is known for his unique approach to cuisine. He changes American classics with an Asian twist, creating dishes like a Pop-Tart topped with strawberry litchi frosting (糖霜) and a Happy Meal that includes fried pork, cucumber salad and a Yakult. Gaw’s social media page is filled with videos of these innovative creations. “I asked myself, ‘Since the world is much more inclusive and embraces all of these diverse flavors, what are the things that Asian Americans would want to see?’” Gaw talked about how his hit social media cooking series “Turning American Classics Asian” came to be. The idea appeared after a trip to his local supermarket. Walking through aisles, Gaw noticed that much of the food stocked on the shelves looked like what he saw as a kid 20 years ago. Meanwhile, ingredients like soy sauce and miso (味噌) were still strictly grouped in “Asian” aisles. For many immigrants and children of immigrants, food is an important part of life. For Gaw, standing between the “Asian” aisle and the rest of the grocery store was also symbolic of his upbringing in Cincinnati, Ohio. Growing up, Gaw felt like he was living a double life. In public, Gaw enjoyed McDonald’s chicken and fries. At home, he feasted on his grandmother’s beef noodle soup. It took time for him to embrace his dual-taste palette. Years later in his Seattle apartment, Gaw began experimenting with his childhood favorites. He changed Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup and turned it into porridge. He added miso to the macaroni and cheese. Gaw shared his food on social media. It took off. His food and his experiences at the grocery store received strong feedback, especially from other Asian Americans. “Turning American classics Asian is not just about my appreciation for Asian flavors and ingredients, or disrespect to American food. Instead, it’s my way of showing respect for both — and on a larger scale, for the experiences of Asian Americans. Seeing this familiar food at a fast-food restaurant makes me feel like I have a seat at the table.” he said. 4. What can we learn about Frankie Gaw? A. He explores the history of American food. B. He gives American dishes an Asian flavor. C. He focuses on preserving traditional Asian recipes. D. He criticizes the lack of diversity in American cuisine. 5. Why does the author mention Gaw walking through supermarket aisles? A. To highlight Gaw’s disappointment with the limited food options. B. To imply it’s difficult for immigrants to adapt to American food. C. To show how Gaw was inspired to create his cooking series. D. To illustrate the lack of changes in American supermarkets. 6. What does the underlined sentence “It took off” in the 4th paragraph mean? A. Gaw’s experiments with food got mixed reactions. B. Gaw’s food creations gained popularity quickly. C. Gaw decided to stop sharing his food creations. D. Gaw suffered from big trouble at the beginning. 7. What do Gaw’s words imply in the last paragraph? A. Food can be a bridge for cultural integration. B. Food is an important part of our daily life. C. Food reflects the evolution of culture. D. Food shows people’s love for life. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述亚裔美国人Frankie Gaw将美国经典菜肴亚洲化的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“He changes American classics with an Asian twist, creating dishes like a Pop-Tart topped with strawberry litchi frosting (糖霜) and a Happy Meal that includes fried pork, cucumber salad and a Yakult. (他以亚洲风味对美国经典菜肴进行了创新，创造出了像顶部有草莓荔枝糖霜的果馅小甜饼，以及包含炸猪肉、黄瓜沙拉和一瓶养乐多的快乐儿童餐这样的菜肴。)”可知，Frankie Gaw给美国菜肴增添了亚洲风味。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““I asked myself, ‘Since the world is much more inclusive and embraces all of these diverse flavors, what are the things that Asian Americans would want to see?’” Gaw talked about how his hit social media cooking series “Turning American Classics Asian” came to be. (“我问自己，‘既然这个世界更加包容，接纳所有这些多样的风味，那么亚裔美国人会希望看到些什么呢？’”Gaw谈到了他大受欢迎的社交媒体烹饪系列节目《将美国经典菜肴亚洲化》是如何诞生的。)”以及第三段中“The idea appeared after a trip to his local supermarket. Walking through aisles, Gaw noticed that much of the food stocked on the shelves looked like what he saw as a kid 20 years ago. Meanwhile, ingredients like soy sauce and miso (味噌) were still strictly grouped in “Asian” aisles. (这个想法是在他去当地超市的一次购物后出现的。在过道中走着，高注意到货架上的很多食物看起来和他20年前小时候看到的一样。与此同时，像酱油和味噌这样的食材仍然被严格地归类在“亚洲”货架区。)”可知，作者提到Gaw走过超市过道是为了展示Gaw是如何受到启发而创作他的烹饪系列的。故选C。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Gaw shared his food on social media. It took off. His food and his experiences at the grocery store received strong feedback, especially from other Asian Americans. (高在社交媒体上分享了他的食物。It took off.他的食物以及他在杂货店的经历得到了强烈的反响，尤其是来自其他亚裔美国人的。)”可知，Gaw的食物创作收到了强烈的反响，It took off意思是Gaw的食物创作迅速受到欢迎。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Turning American classics Asian is not just about my appreciation for Asian flavors and ingredients, or disrespect to American food. Instead, it’s my way of showing respect for both — and on a larger scale, for the experiences of Asian Americans. Seeing this familiar food at a fast-food restaurant makes me feel like I have a seat at the table.” he said. (“把美国经典菜肴亚洲化不仅仅是我对亚洲风味和食材的欣赏，也不是对美国食物的不尊重。相反，这是我对两者表示尊重的方式——从更大的层面来说，是对亚裔美国人经历的尊重。在一家快餐店看到这种熟悉的食物让我觉得我在这个社会中有了一席之地。”他说。)”可知，Gaw的话暗示食物可以成为文化融合的桥梁。故选A。 C One of the 2024 Nobel Prize winners in Physics, Geoffrey Hinton, who pioneered work on the neural (神经的) networks that support artificial intelligence, has warned that machines might someday get smarter than humans. Perhaps. But the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry honored a real-world example of how AI is helping humans today with amazing discoveries in protein structure that have far-reaching applications. This is a development worth appreciating. Proteins are biology’s lead actors, which control and drive all the chemical reactions that together are the basis of life. Proteins also function as signal substances, building blocks of different tissues. In the human body, they are necessary for the structure, function and regulation of tissues and organs. In the late 1950s, John Kendrew and Max Perutz from Cambridge University created the first 3D models of proteins, earning them the 1962 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. But in the following decades, progress in figuring out protein structures has been slow. It might take years to characterize a single structure. The three scientists who won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry have revolutionized the field. During biological research, they developed an AI and machine learning model that can predict the structure of proteins, decoding the amino acids (氨基酸) that make up each. The model, AlphaFold, can do in minutes what once took years. Besides, with the help of AlphaFold, scientists have found a better vaccine (疫苗) for malaria, a deadly disease caused by a shape-shifting parasite (寄生虫). Matthew Higgins at the University of Oxford said the breakthrough helped his team decide which bits of the protein to put in the vaccine, which trains the body’s immune system to detect it and act. This helped expedite his research from “a fundamental science stage to the preclinical and clinical development stage”. Anyone who has used ChatGPT knows that AI is not always correct. And without a doubt, there are risks when powerful technology falls into the hands of evil actors. So in the years ahead, AI dangers must be confronted and safeguards considered. But, at least for now, AlphaFold shows that AI can greatly enhance existing knowledge to benefit mankind. 8. What does the second paragraph focus on? A. The way that proteins help keep life healthy. B. The process of proteins regulating chemical reactions. C. The important role of proteins in biological research. D. The complex interaction between proteins and other tissues. 9. How does the author illustrate the impact of AI on biological research? A. By making a comparison. B. By presenting statistics. C. By referring to experts’ words. D. By describing a process. 10. What does the underlined word “expedite” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Work out. B. Speed up. C. Put off. D. Hold back. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards AI? A. Negative. B. Skeptical. C. Unconcerned. D. Objective. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能在蛋白质结构研究中的应用及积极意义。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Proteins are biology’s lead actors, which control and drive all the chemical reactions that together are the basis of life. Proteins also function as signal substances, building blocks of different tissues. In the human body, they are necessary for the structure, function and regulation of tissues and organs.(蛋白质是生物学的主角，它控制和驱动着所有共同构成生命基础的化学反应。蛋白质还起着信号物质的作用，是不同组织的组成部分。在人体内，它们对于组织和器官的结构、功能和调节是必不可少的)”可知，第二段主要讲述了蛋白质在生物学研究中所起的重要作用。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In the late 1950s, John Kendrew and Max Perutz from Cambridge University created the first 3D models of proteins, earning them the 1962 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. But in the following decades, progress in figuring out protein structures has been slow. It might take years to characterize a single structure.(20 世纪 50 年代后期，剑桥大学的约翰・肯德鲁和马克斯・佩鲁茨创建了第一个蛋白质的三维模型，为此他们获得了 1962 年的诺贝尔化学奖。但在接下来的几十年里，确定蛋白质结构的进展一直很缓慢。可能需要数年时间才能确定一种结构的特征)”以及第四段“The three scientists who won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry have revolutionized the field. During biological research, they developed an AI and machine learning model that can predict the structure of proteins, decoding the amino acids (氨基酸) that make up each. The model, AlphaFold, can do in minutes what once took years.(获得 2024 年诺贝尔化学奖的三位科学家彻底改变了这个领域。在生物研究过程中，他们开发了一种人工智能和机器学习模型，可以预测蛋白质的结构，解码构成每种蛋白质的氨基酸。这个名为 AlphaFold 的模型可以在几分钟内完成曾经需要数年时间才能完成的事情)”可知，作者通过将过去确定蛋白质结构的缓慢过程和现在人工智能模型快速完成的情况进行对比，来说明人工智能对生物研究的影响。故选A。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“Besides, with the help of AlphaFold, scientists have found a better vaccine (疫苗) for malaria, a deadly disease caused by a shape-shifting parasite (寄生虫). Matthew Higgins at the University of Oxford said the breakthrough helped his team decide which bits of the protein to put in the vaccine, which trains the body’s immune system to detect it and act.(此外，在AlphaFold的帮助下，科学家们发现了一种更好的疟疾疫苗，疟疾是一种由变形寄生虫引起的致命疾病。牛津大学的马修·希金斯说，这一突破帮助他的团队决定将蛋白质的哪些部分放入疫苗中，从而训练人体的免疫系统来检测和发挥作用)”以及划线单词所在的后半句“his research from “a fundamental science stage to the preclinical and clinical development stage”(他的研究从“基础科学阶段推进到临床前和临床开发阶段”)”可知，在AlphaFold的帮助下发现了更好的疟疾疫苗，这一突破有助于加快他的研究从基础科学阶段推进到临床前和临床开发阶段，所以expedite意为“加快”。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Anyone who has used ChatGPT knows that AI is not always correct. And without a doubt, there are risks when powerful technology falls into the hands of evil actors. So in the years ahead, AI dangers must be confronted and safeguards considered. But, at least for now, AlphaFold shows that AI can greatly enhance existing knowledge to benefit mankind.(任何使用过 ChatGPT 的人都知道，人工智能并不总是正确的。毫无疑问，当强大的技术落入坏人手中时，就会存在风险。因此，在未来的几年里，必须面对人工智能带来的危险，并考虑采取保障措施。但是，至少目前，AlphaFold 表明人工智能可以极大地增强现有知识，造福人类)” 可知，作者既提到了人工智能存在的风险，也肯定了人工智能如 AlphaFold 在造福人类方面的积极作用，所以作者对人工智能的态度是客观的。故选D。 D Human harvesting of krill (磷虾) in the Southern Ocean could threaten the recovery of whale species that were nearly wiped out by industrial whaling in the 20th century, according to a study in Nature Communications. Krill are the essential food source for baleen whales such as blue whales and humpbacks. Booming demand for krill, however, could leave whales without enough food to sustain despite their decreasing numbers. “Our calculations suggest an alarming possibility that we might harvest krill to the point where we do real damage to recovering whale populations,” said lead study author Matthew Savoca from the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. In the nearly 40 years since a global whaling ban went into effect in 1986, some Southern Ocean species, particularly humpbacks, have made an impressive comeback. Yet, this recovery has taken place against increasing competition with humans for the whales’ critical food source. Over the past 30 years, the krill catch has doubled to around 400,000 tons annually and is set to expand further. Savoca and his colleagues calculated how much krill was left in the Southern Ocean for baleen whales, seabirds, and other predators to eat after industrial krill harvesting at current rates, and compared it with the estimated amount of krill available before industrial whaling began. “The basic math makes it clear that the current krill biomass (生物量) cannot support both an expanding krill fishery and the recovery of whale populations to pre-whaling size.” said Savoca. The study offers suggestions for how the CCAMLR, an international organization that manages Southern Ocean fisheries, can help prevent disaster. Regulation of the areas and times of year when commercial krill boats can operate to minimize competition with whales is a starting point. As for the krill themselves, improved monitoring to bring in more data on krill eggs and larvae (幼虫) hotspots could identify zones to ban or limit fishing. The researchers hope their study will inspire more serious accounting and deeper investigations into whales and the krill themselves, ultimately forming a path ahead that preserves the delicate ecological balance in the Southern Ocean. 12. What does the study in Nature Communications mainly suggest? A. Baleen whales have made an impressive comeback. B. Krill play a big role in the Southern Ocean ecosystem. C. It’s wise to expand krill harvesting to support economic growth. D. Current krill harvesting practices may destroy whale recovery efforts. 13. What do we know about the current krill biomass? A. It is likely to bounce back. B. It doesn’t hold much research value. C. It has increased greatly in the past 30 years. D. It is insufficient to support the local ecosystem. 14. What is mainly discussed in the fifth paragraph? A. The ways to boost krill-related economic growth. B. The practical measures taken by the CCAMLR. C. The proposals put forward by the researchers. D. The conflicts between whales and humans. 15. What would be a suitable title for the text? A. Great Economic Benefits from Krill Harvesting B. Krill Harvesting: A Threat to Whale Recovery C. The Connection Between Whales and Krill D. Restoration Efforts for Baleen Whales 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人类捕捞磷虾可能威胁到鲸鱼种群的恢复。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Human harvesting of krill (磷虾) in the Southern Ocean could threaten the recovery of whale species that were nearly wiped out by industrial whaling in the 20th century, according to a study in Nature Communications. (根据《自然・通讯》杂志上的一项研究，人类在南大洋对磷虾的捕捞可能会威胁到那些在 20世纪几乎被工业捕鲸活动赶尽杀绝的鲸鱼物种的恢复。)”可知，《自然・通讯》上的一项研究表明人类在南大洋捕捞磷虾可能会威胁到在 20 世纪几乎被工业捕鲸灭绝的鲸鱼物种的恢复。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““The basic math makes it clear that the current krill biomass (生物量) cannot support both an expanding krill fishery and the recovery of whale populations to pre-whaling size.” said Savoca. (萨沃卡说：“基本数学计算清楚地表明，目前的磷虾生物量无法同时支撑起不断扩大的磷虾捕捞业，以及鲸鱼种群恢复到捕鲸活动开展前的规模。”)”可知，目前的磷虾生物量无法同时支持不断扩大的磷虾捕捞业和鲸鱼种群恢复到捕鲸前的规模，由此可推知，目前的磷虾生物量不足以支持当地的生态系统。故选D。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“The study offers suggestions for how the CCAMLR, an international organization that manages Southern Ocean fisheries, can help prevent disaster. Regulation of the areas and times of year when commercial krill boats can operate to minimize competition with whales is a starting point. As for the krill themselves, improved monitoring to bring in more data on krill eggs and larvae (幼虫) hotspots could identify zones to ban or limit fishing. (这项研究就管理南大洋渔业的国际组织——南极海洋生物资源保护委员会如何有助于预防灾难提出了建议。对商业捕磷虾船的作业区域和一年中的作业时间进行监管，以尽量减少与鲸鱼的竞争，这是一个起点。至于磷虾本身，加强监测以获取更多有关磷虾卵和幼虫聚集热点区域的数据，有助于确定禁止或限制捕捞的区域。)”可知，该段主要讨论了研究人员针对管理南大洋渔业的国际组织 CCAMLR 如何帮助防止灾难提出的建议，包括规范商业磷虾船的作业区域和时间，以及加强对磷虾卵和幼虫热点地区的监测等。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Human harvesting of krill (磷虾) in the Southern Ocean could threaten the recovery of whale species that were nearly wiped out by industrial whaling in the 20th century, according to a study in Nature Communications. (《自然・通讯》杂志上的一项研究表明，人类在南大洋捕捞磷虾，可能会威胁到那些在 20 世纪因工业捕鲸而几乎灭绝的鲸鱼物种的恢复。)”可知，文章开篇指出人类在南大洋捕捞磷虾可能威胁到鲸鱼种群的恢复，接着介绍了磷虾对鲸鱼的重要性、目前磷虾捕捞的情况以及当前磷虾生物量的现状，还提到了研究人员的建议，整体围绕着磷虾捕捞对鲸鱼恢复的威胁展开。选项B“Krill Harvesting: A Threat to Whale Recovery (磷虾捕捞：威胁鲸鱼恢复)”适合作本文的标题。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You will be leaving this school at the end of this year and the unavoidable question many people will ask you is, “So, what do you want to be?” ____16____ But many of you still don’t have a clue!

John’s only hobby was wandering in the nearby picturesque forest. In its center was a shiny clear lake with schools of fish dancing in it. Lovely animals such as deer or rabbits were playing around and cute birds were singing in trees. Fascinated by the beauty and liveliness of nature, he desired to become a great artist and present all the breath-taking scenes to the world. John studied in the local primary school. Life was not easy for John and his mom after his father died. Knowing what hard work his mother did to make ends meet, John really didn’t want his mother to worry. His mother knew the significance of education in life but she was against his dream of becoming an artist. “The profession of artist can’t aid a person in meeting his daily expenses,” she would say. But as each day passed, John’s dream became more passionate. Due to the living circumstances, even buying some new colors would be a luxury. John only used the worn drawing file and limited colors for his daily practice. Though lacking fine painting materials, he never gave up drawing. He spent a significant amount of time staying in the forest, secretly perfecting his craft. With continuous hard work and a distinct gift for art, he drew beautifully. One day John read about a competition being held in the town, whose deadline was only two days away. He got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire but he was in a dilemma (两难境地) as for the competition he needed special paints and some brushes. He didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money as he knew her prejudice against art. That evening his mom returned from work and handed him a few paper notes, saying, “This is for your lunch at school next month.” The money was enough for his desired materials! John’s face lit up. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, a phone call came to John’s home. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money. Hastily, he bought paper and pens for painting, and then dashed to the completion. After signing up for it, he was given the task. It was his time. He was deeply absorbed in his work, forgetting everything around him. After finishing his task, he went home, with birds singing for him. Every day, he looked forward to the result happily and anxiously, though he felt hungry. It seemed that the time stopped. A week later, a phone call came to John’s home. Hearing what the man said, his mother felt puzzled, not knowing how his son had done it, because she knew it needed money. As soon as John arrived home, his mother told him the news, and waited for his explanation. Knowing the truth, her eyes welled up with tears. Hugging her son tightly, she apologized to him. But he was happy, not only because he had got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire, but also he was awarded a lot of money because of his work. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达是读后续写。本文以人物为线索展开。 John喜欢画画，但是家里很穷。虽然母亲不支持他画画，但是他还是想尽办法坚持。有一天，他得知镇上正在举行绘画比赛，他很高兴，但是却没有钱买绘画用品。恰好这天妈妈给了他下个月的午餐费。这些钱足够买材料了。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“第二天一早，约翰带着钱偷偷地离开了家。”可知，第一段可以描写约翰离开家后的活动和他的心理活动。 ②由第二段句首内容“一周后，一个电话打到了约翰的家。”可知，第二段可以描写约翰妈妈接到电话后的表情和心理活动，妈妈知道真相时的表情、动作和语言，最后升华文章的主旨：坚持会有回报。 2.续写线索：离家—买东西—参赛—回家—得知消息—解释—回报 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①猛冲：dash/ dart/ leap ②全神贯注于：be absorbed in/ concentrate on ③期盼：look forward to/long for 情绪类 ①高兴的：happily/joyfully/delightedly ②焦急地：anxiously/ nervously/ worriedly 【点睛】【高分句型1】He was deeply absorbed in his work, forgetting everything around him.

But in some ways, big isn’t always best, at least where carbon footprints are concerned. From kayaking (划独木舟) the Everglades to going electric in Washington, DC, here are four trips where you can go sustainably while still enjoying the very best of the US. Kayak the Everglades Avoid the typical motor-powered boat tour across Florida’s 1.5 million-acre wetlands for a gentler experience. Paddling (用桨划) a kayak through the thousands of islands, you’ll get the chance to spot dolphins, sea turtles and manatees. Extend your visit with an expert-led kayak camping trip, lasting between two and four days. Take a hike through Yosemite Most visitors tour California’s national park by car. But on Wildland Trekking’s six-day Wonders of Yosemite trip, you’ll explore lakes, rivers and grassland without leaving a trace, sleeping under a blanket of stars and experiencing it at its remotest parts. Swim around Hawaii Hawaii’s Big Island is one of the most dramatic natural corners of the US, home to lava fields and forests encircled by blue sea. SwimTrek offer a one-week swimming tour of the island, taking in Garden Eel Cove — famed for its manta rays (蝠鲼) — and Mahai’ula Bay, home to turtles, which you can watch from a respectful distance. Go electric in Washington, DC Visit the greatest hits of the US capital, from the White House to the Smithsonian, on a three days’ tour in an electric car. With stops along the way, you’ll get to stretch legs and explore, while your guide’s tips will make you keen to return for further discovery. 1. What can visitors do when taking a hike through Yosemite? A. Observe manta rays. B. Enjoy the starry sky. C. Take a guided camping trip. D. Protect a piece of grassland. 2. Which trip lasts the longest? A. Take a hike through Yosemite. B. Go electric in Washington, DC. C. Swim around Hawaii. D. Kayak the Everglades. 3. What do the four trips have in common? A. They are low-impact travel. B. They offer professional guides. C. They are favored by animal lovers. D. They feature beautiful natural scenery. B Frankie Gaw, an Asian American food creator and author of a cookbook, is known for his unique approach to cuisine. He changes American classics with an Asian twist, creating dishes like a Pop-Tart topped with strawberry litchi frosting (糖霜) and a Happy Meal that includes fried pork, cucumber salad and a Yakult. Gaw’s social media page is filled with videos of these innovative creations. “I asked myself, ‘Since the world is much more inclusive and embraces all of these diverse flavors, what are the things that Asian Americans would want to see?’” Gaw talked about how his hit social media cooking series “Turning American Classics Asian” came to be. The idea appeared after a trip to his local supermarket. Walking through aisles, Gaw noticed that much of the food stocked on the shelves looked like what he saw as a kid 20 years ago. Meanwhile, ingredients like soy sauce and miso (味噌) were still strictly grouped in “Asian” aisles. For many immigrants and children of immigrants, food is an important part of life. For Gaw, standing between the “Asian” aisle and the rest of the grocery store was also symbolic of his upbringing in Cincinnati, Ohio. Growing up, Gaw felt like he was living a double life. In public, Gaw enjoyed McDonald’s chicken and fries. At home, he feasted on his grandmother’s beef noodle soup. It took time for him to embrace his dual-taste palette. Years later in his Seattle apartment, Gaw began experimenting with his childhood favorites. He changed Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup and turned it into porridge. He added miso to the macaroni and cheese. Gaw shared his food on social media. It took off. His food and his experiences at the grocery store received strong feedback, especially from other Asian Americans. “Turning American classics Asian is not just about my appreciation for Asian flavors and ingredients, or disrespect to American food. Instead, it’s my way of showing respect for both — and on a larger scale, for the experiences of Asian Americans. Seeing this familiar food at a fast-food restaurant makes me feel like I have a seat at the table.” he said. 4. What can we learn about Frankie Gaw? A. He explores the history of American food. B. He gives American dishes an Asian flavor. C. He focuses on preserving traditional Asian recipes. D. He criticizes the lack of diversity in American cuisine. 5. Why does the author mention Gaw walking through supermarket aisles? A. To highlight Gaw’s disappointment with the limited food options. B. To imply it’s difficult for immigrants to adapt to American food. C. To show how Gaw was inspired to create his cooking series. D. To illustrate the lack of changes in American supermarkets. 6. What does the underlined sentence “It took off” in the 4th paragraph mean? A. Gaw’s experiments with food got mixed reactions. B. Gaw’s food creations gained popularity quickly. C. Gaw decided to stop sharing his food creations. D. Gaw suffered from big trouble at the beginning. 7. What do Gaw’s words imply in the last paragraph? A. Food can be a bridge for cultural integration. B Food is an important part of our daily life. C. Food reflects the evolution of culture. D. Food shows people’s love for life. C One of the 2024 Nobel Prize winners in Physics, Geoffrey Hinton, who pioneered work on the neural (神经的) networks that support artificial intelligence, has warned that machines might someday get smarter than humans. Perhaps. But the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry honored a real-world example of how AI is helping humans today with amazing discoveries in protein structure that have far-reaching applications. This is a development worth appreciating. Proteins are biology’s lead actors, which control and drive all the chemical reactions that together are the basis of life. Proteins also function as signal substances, building blocks of different tissues. In the human body, they are necessary for the structure, function and regulation of tissues and organs. In the late 1950s, John Kendrew and Max Perutz from Cambridge University created the first 3D models of proteins, earning them the 1962 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. But in the following decades, progress in figuring out protein structures has been slow. It might take years to characterize a single structure. The three scientists who won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry have revolutionized the field. During biological research, they developed an AI and machine learning model that can predict the structure of proteins, decoding the amino acids (氨基酸) that make up each. The model, AlphaFold, can do in minutes what once took years. Besides, with the help of AlphaFold, scientists have found a better vaccine (疫苗) for malaria, a deadly disease caused by a shape-shifting parasite (寄生虫). Matthew Higgins at the University of Oxford said the breakthrough helped his team decide which bits of the protein to put in the vaccine, which trains the body’s immune system to detect it and act. This helped expedite his research from “a fundamental science stage to the preclinical and clinical development stage”. Anyone who has used ChatGPT knows that AI is not always correct. And without a doubt, there are risks when powerful technology falls into the hands of evil actors. So in the years ahead, AI dangers must be confronted and safeguards considered. But, at least for now, AlphaFold shows that AI can greatly enhance existing knowledge to benefit mankind. 8. What does the second paragraph focus on? A The way that proteins help keep life healthy. B. The process of proteins regulating chemical reactions. C. The important role of proteins in biological research. D. The complex interaction between proteins and other tissues. 9. How does the author illustrate the impact of AI on biological research? A. By making a comparison. B. By presenting statistics. C. By referring to experts’ words. D. By describing a process. 10. What does the underlined word “expedite” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Work out. B. Speed up. C. Put off. D. Hold back. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards AI? A. Negative. B. Skeptical. C. Unconcerned. D. Objective. D Human harvesting of krill (磷虾) in the Southern Ocean could threaten the recovery of whale species that were nearly wiped out by industrial whaling in the 20th century, according to a study in Nature Communications. Krill are the essential food source for baleen whales such as blue whales and humpbacks. Booming demand for krill, however, could leave whales without enough food to sustain despite their decreasing numbers. “Our calculations suggest an alarming possibility that we might harvest krill to the point where we do real damage to recovering whale populations,” said lead study author Matthew Savoca from the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability. In the nearly 40 years since a global whaling ban went into effect in 1986, some Southern Ocean species, particularly humpbacks, have made an impressive comeback. Yet, this recovery has taken place against increasing competition with humans for the whales’ critical food source. Over the past 30 years, the krill catch has doubled to around 400,000 tons annually and is set to expand further. Savoca and his colleagues calculated how much krill was left in the Southern Ocean for baleen whales, seabirds, and other predators to eat after industrial krill harvesting at current rates, and compared it with the estimated amount of krill available before industrial whaling began. “The basic math makes it clear that the current krill biomass (生物量) cannot support both an expanding krill fishery and the recovery of whale populations to pre-whaling size.” said Savoca. The study offers suggestions for how the CCAMLR, an international organization that manages Southern Ocean fisheries, can help prevent disaster. Regulation of the areas and times of year when commercial krill boats can operate to minimize competition with whales is a starting point. As for the krill themselves, improved monitoring to bring in more data on krill eggs and larvae (幼虫) hotspots could identify zones to ban or limit fishing. The researchers hope their study will inspire more serious accounting and deeper investigations into whales and the krill themselves, ultimately forming a path ahead that preserves the delicate ecological balance in the Southern Ocean. 12. What does the study in Nature Communications mainly suggest? A. Baleen whales have made an impressive comeback. B. Krill play a big role in the Southern Ocean ecosystem. C.

It is likely to bounce back. B. It doesn’t hold much research value. C. It has increased greatly in the past 30 years. D. It is insufficient to support the local ecosystem. 14. What is mainly discussed in the fifth paragraph? A. The ways to boost krill-related economic growth. B. The practical measures taken by the CCAMLR. C. The proposals put forward by the researchers. D. The conflicts between whales and humans. 15. What would be a suitable title for the text? A. Great Economic Benefits from Krill Harvesting B. Krill Harvesting: A Threat to Whale Recovery C. The Connection Between Whales and Krill D. Restoration Efforts for Baleen Whales 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You will be leaving this school at the end of this year and the unavoidable question many people will ask you is, “So, what do you want to be?” ____16____ But many of you still don’t have a clue!

John’s only hobby was wandering in the nearby picturesque forest. In its center was a shiny clear lake with schools of fish dancing in it. Lovely animals such as deer or rabbits were playing around and cute birds were singing in trees. Fascinated by the beauty and liveliness of nature, he desired to become a great artist and present all the breath-taking scenes to the world. John studied in the local primary school. Life was not easy for John and his mom after his father died. Knowing what hard work his mother did to make ends meet, John really didn’t want his mother to worry. His mother knew the significance of education in life but she was against his dream of becoming an artist. “The profession of artist can’t aid a person in meeting his daily expenses,” she would say. But as each day passed, John’s dream became more passionate. Due to the living circumstances, even buying some new colors would be a luxury. John only used the worn drawing file and limited colors for his daily practice. Though lacking fine painting materials, he never gave up drawing. He spent a significant amount of time staying in the forest, secretly perfecting his craft. With continuous hard work and a distinct gift for art, he drew beautifully. One day John read about a competition being held in the town, whose deadline was only two days away. He got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire but he was in a dilemma (两难境地) as for the competition he needed special paints and some brushes. He didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money as he knew her prejudice against art. That evening his mom returned from work and handed him a few paper notes saying, “This is for your lunch at school next month.” The money was enough for his desired materials! John’s face lit up. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, a phone call came to John’s home. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
