Here we’ve boiled down the choices to the absolute top events to add to your bucket list. Montreux Jazz Festival, Switzerland This over 50-year-old good time held on the shores of Lake Geneva is the second-largest jazz festival in the world. It’s more than jazz, though. You’ll find broad-ranging acts from pop to rock and blues. And, best of all, a large portion of the performances are free, in keeping with the festival’s purpose to make music accessible to anyone. Palio di Siena, Italy Twice a year, the Tuscan town of Siena recalls its past in the Middle Ages with a bareback horse race. Each of the 17 horses in the race and each of their course riders, represent one of the city’s districts, adding to the roar (咆哮) of the crowd. And to make things even more entertaining, riders are allowed to do anything to their opponents other than pull their reins (缰绳), so expect as many falls as thrills. Saint Patrick’s Festival, Ireland Saint Patrick’s Day is celebrated anywhere in the world where there is an Irish group, but there’s no better place than Dublin, Ireland. This four-day festival in March is packed with a program of music, performing arts, literature, tours and food events. Centered around the national holiday, this festival of Irish pride, achievements and talents will be well supplied with Irish cheer. Harbin International Snow and Ice Festival, China Harbin is transformed into a winter wonderland with huge ice sculptures across the city, decorated with lights and lasers, drawing thousands of artists and art enthusiasts alike. And if that’s not enough to satisfy your fancy, there’s also the Ice Lantern Art Fair, sledding to watch and our favourite, “winter swimming watching”. 1. What features Montreux Jazz Festival? A.

You’ll find broad-ranging acts from pop to rock and blues. (不过，它不仅仅是爵士乐。你会发现各种各样的表演，从流行音乐到摇滚和蓝调。)”可知，该音乐节不仅有爵士乐，还包括流行、摇滚和蓝调等多样化的音乐类型，它包括各种风格的音乐。故选C。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。由文章Palio di Siena, Italy部分“Twice a year, the Tuscan town of Siena recalls its past in the Middle Ages with a bareback horse race. Each of the 17 horses in the race and each of their course riders, represent one of the city’s districts, adding to the roar (咆哮) of the crowd. And to make things even more entertaining, riders are allowed to do anything to their opponents other than pull their reins (缰绳), so expect as many falls as thrills. (托斯卡纳的锡耶纳小镇每年都会举行两次无鞍赛马比赛，以纪念中世纪的历史。参加比赛的17匹马中的每一匹和每一位骑手都代表着这个城市的一个地区，增加了人群的咆哮声。为了让比赛更有趣，除了拉缰绳之外，骑手可以对对手做任何事情，所以你可以期待摔倒和刺激一样多。)”可以推断，该节日中激烈的无鞍赛马和允许选手之间的激烈竞争会吸引喜欢冒险的人。故选B。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。由文章Saint Patrick’s Festival, Ireland部分中“This four-day festival in March is packed with a program of music, performing arts, literature, tours and food events. (这个在三月举行的为期四天的节日充满了音乐、表演艺术、文学、旅游和美食活动。)”和最后一段“Harbin is transformed into a winter wonderland with huge ice sculptures across the city, decorated with lights and lasers, drawing thousands of artists and art enthusiasts alike. And if that’s not enough to satisfy your fancy, there’s also the Ice Lantern Art Fair, sledding to watch and our favourite, “winter swimming watching”. (哈尔滨变成了一个冬季仙境，巨大的冰雕遍布整个城市，用灯光和激光装饰，吸引了成千上万的艺术家和艺术爱好者。如果这还不能满足你的喜好，你还可以参加冰灯艺术博览会，观看雪橇和我们最喜欢的“冬季游泳观看”。)”可知，这两个节日的共同点在于它们提供艺术体验。圣帕特里克节涉及音乐、表演艺术、文学等，而哈尔滨国际冰雪节则以巨大的冰雕艺术、灯光秀和冰灯艺术展吸引艺术家和艺术爱好者。故选D。 B Lieutenant Colonel (中校) Song Lingdong will soon become one of the first astronauts from the post-1990s generation in China to start a space journey. Born in August 1990 to a farmer’s family in Caoxian county, Shandong province, Song joined the PLA Air Force in September 2008 and was sent to learn flying. In the first months at the flight school, the young man had bad scores in his physical tests. He also had a tough time in his first flights due to airsickness. Knowing clearly about his weaknesses, Song decided to depend on willpower and sweat to make up for them. He soon became the one student in his class who always appeared on the exercise field and often asked the trainers to double the amount of his training. Thanks to his hard work, he received the top score in his solo (个人) flight exam. After graduation, Song became a pilot. In the spring of 2018, Song was told about the PLA Astronaut Department beginning to pick new members. Soon he decided to apply. He said the desire to fly above the atmosphere (大气层) was inspired by a TV news report he saw about China’s first spaceflight, when he was 13 years old. In September 2020, he was selected as one of the third group of astronauts. He soon realized that a successful astronaut really needs calmness and team spirit. He learned to slow down and even started going fishing to improve his patience. In the eyes of the leader Cai Xuzhe and teammate Wang Haoze, Song is now fully able to complete a spaceflight and can be depended upon. 4. What can we learn about Song Lingdong from Paragraphs 2 &3? A. He became a pilot without difficulty. B. He did very well in his physical tests. C. He managed to make up for his weaknesses. D. He received the highest score in every exam. 5.

This so-called digital twin will be a working model of your body that can be displayed onto a physician’s computer screen. Updated with your latest vital signs, it will help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis (诊断). It also opens the door for medicines and procedures designed specifically for you, increasing recovery rates. No matter how unreal this might seem, the researchers at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) already use computer simulations (模拟) of the hearts of patients to test different treatments for a heart disorder. It would be far too dangerous to experiment this way on someone’s real heart. Digital twins are starting to be seen everywhere, monitoring the health of jet engines on airliners and helping carmakers spend fewer years on the development of new models by simulating test drives and crashes. All this is being fueled by recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI), which gives twins the ability to make predictions about their physical counterparts (对应的事物), and adjust themselves on new information. Digital twins began as basic computer models of physical objects and systems and have become more advanced with computers becoming more powerful. Complex design and modeling software make it possible for many physical objects to take shape in the virtual world. Small sensors feed twins with real-time data, ensuring that they mirror their physical counterparts. Digital twins make it easier for humans to solve challenging problems, allowing people to have a look into the future, spotting problems before they materialize and testing wild ideas without real-world result. For businesses, this should mean better designs and operations. For society, the promise is equally appealing: personalized health care, and clues as to how the planet might avoid environmental catastrophe. Could these virtual twins go out of control? They might if they are programmed badly, or hacked into. Digital twins will take in mountains of data, some of it wrong and much of it raising concerns about privacy. Yet these risks are not specific to digital twins. They apply to all new technologies, as they always have and always will. The appearance of the digital mirror world will undoubtedly raise new questions, but its potential advantages are already easy to see. 8. Which of the following best describes a digital twin? A. A toy model. B. A video game. C. A virtual copy. D. A medical database. 9. Why do researchers at QMULuse computer simulations of hearts? A. To reduce the cost of the operation. B. To use real hearts more conveniently. C. To help increase patients’ recovery rates. D. To avoid the risk of experimenting on real hearts. 10. How does AI contribute to the development of digital twins? A. It creates the basic computer models of physical systems. B. It offers the ability to forecast and adjust based on new data. C. It enables the perfect simulation of all physical objects. D. It solves the complex problems in the real-world application. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the digital twins? A. Cautious. B. Doubtful. C. Optimistic. D. Critical. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了数字孪生技术及其应用、优势和潜在风险。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“This so-called digital twin will be a working model of your body that can be displayed onto a physician’s computer screen.(这个所谓的数字孪生体将是你身体的一个工作模型，可以显示在医生的电脑屏幕上)”可知，数字孪生体是一个虚拟的复制品。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“No matter how unreal this might seem, the researchers at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) already use computer simulations of the hearts of patients to test different treatments for a heart disorder. It would be far too dangerous to experiment this way on someone’s real heart.(不管这看起来多么不真实，伦敦玛丽女王大学(QMUL)的研究人员已经开始使用患者心脏的计算机模拟来测试不同心脏病的治疗方法。在别人的真心脏上这样实验太危险了)”可知，QMUL的研究人员使用计算机模拟心脏是为了避免在真实心脏上做实验的风险。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“All this is being fueled by recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI), which gives twins the ability to make predictions about their physical counterparts, and adjust themselves on new information.(所有这些都是由于人工智能(AI)的最新进展而推动的，这使得数字孪生体能够对其物理对应物进行预测，并根据新信息调整自己)”可知，人工智能为数字孪生体提供了根据新数据进行预测和调整的能力。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Digital twins will take in mountains of data, some of it wrong and much of it raising concerns about privacy. Yet these risks are not specific to digital twins. They apply to all new technologies, as they always have and always will. The appearance of the digital mirror world will undoubtedly raise new questions, but its potential advantages are already easy to see.(数字孪生体将接收海量数据，其中部分数据存在错误，而大量数据还引发了人们对隐私问题的担忧。然而，这些风险并非数字孪生体所独有。实际上，它们一直且永远会适用于所有新技术。数字镜像世界的出现无疑会引发新的疑问，但其潜在优势已然清晰可见)”可知，作者对数字孪生体的态度是乐观的，认为尽管会出现新的问题，其潜在优势已经显而易见。故选C。 D Even now, I have vivid memories of my last day of high school. In my mind’s eye, I’m cleaning out my locker,and then slamming it shut for the last time. I’m roaming the halls with my best friend, blissfully ignoring the bells going off every 50 minutes on schedule because, just today, we’re allowed to break the rules. I’m siting on my desk and chatting with my English teacher, Mr.Carr, in a way that makes me feel almost grown up. It was maybe my favorite day of the whole year. Like the final layer of watercolor, the freedom and lightness I felt about that day turned it into a more colorful memory. If the school year hasn’t yet ended for you, consider what you can do to make the finale count. Why? Because when it comes to human memory, not all moments are created equal. Instead, our remembered experiences are disproportionately (不成比例地) influenced by peaks (the best moments as well as the worst) and endings (the last moments). Nobel Prize winner Danny Kahneman, who discovered this phenomenon, called this the peak-end rule. It suggests that our judgment of a past experience is largely based on its most extreme point and its endpoint. I took advantage of the peak-end rule years ago, when my girls were young enough to want a bedtime story each night. I remember thinking that whatever troubles and stress had occurred that day, I could make the last moments count. I could end on a note of calm and act like the patient mom I hadn’t quite managed to be just hours before. Don’t mistake all moments as equal in significance. There’s a reason why yoga classes end with savasana (挺卧式). There’s a reason why we eat dessert last. Do orchestrate (精心安排) endings. As Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll might say: Finish strong.Last impressions are especially lasting. 12. What does the underlined word in paragraph 1 mean? A. Calmly. B. Surprisingly. C. Happily. D. Curiously. 13. Which statement may Danny Kahneman suggest? A. All moments equally matter in our memories. B. Peaks in life are remembered better than endings. C. Our judgment of the past is determined by first impressions. D. The peaks and ends of experiences are easier to remember. 14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. How the author applied the rule to daily life. B. How the author treated her daughters. C. What struggles the author had in life. D. Why the author read stories to herkids. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Hit the Peak-You Can Make It B. Finish Strong-Your Past will Last C. Finish Last-Your Past will Echo D. More peaks,Fewer Happy Ending 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过自己高中最后一天的鲜活记忆和坚持给女儿讲睡前故事的经历讲述了“峰终定律”，它表明我们对一段经历的判断很大程度上取决于这段经历的巅峰和结尾，并建议人们珍惜结尾。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“Even now, I have vivid memories of my last day of high school. In my mind’s eye, I’m cleaning out my locker,and then slamming it shut for the last time. I’m roaming the halls with my best friend, blissfully ignoring the bells going off every 50 minutes on schedule because, just today, we’re allowed to break the rules. (即使到现在，我对高中的最后一天仍有着清晰的记忆。在我的想象中，我正在清理我的储物柜，然后最后一次猛地把它关上。我和我最好的朋友在走廊里闲逛，blissfully无视着每50分钟准时响起的上课铃，因为就在今天，我们被允许打破常规)”可知，高中的最后一天，因为被允许打破常规，所以快乐地忽略了每50分钟准时响起的铃声，blissfully意思是“幸福地，快乐地”。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Because when it comes to human memory, not all moments are created equal. Instead, our remembered experiences are disproportionately (不成比例地) influenced by peaks (the best moments as well as the worst) and endings (the last moments). Nobel Prize winner Danny Kahneman, who discovered this phenomenon, called this the peak-end rule. It suggests that our judgment of a past experience is largely based on its most extreme point and its endpoint. (因为当涉及到人类记忆时，并不是所有的时刻都是平等的。相反，我们记住的经历不成比例地受到高峰（最好的时刻以及最坏的时刻）和结尾（最后的时刻）的影响。诺贝尔奖得主丹尼・卡尼曼发现了这一现象，他称之为峰终定律。这表明我们对过去经历的判断在很大程度上基于其最极端的点和终点)”可知，丹尼・卡尼曼可能会认为经历的高峰和结尾更容易被记住。故选D。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“I took advantage of the peak-end rule years ago, when my girls were young enough to want a bedtime story each night. I remember thinking that whatever troubles and stress had occurred that day, I could make the last moments count. I could end on a note of calm and act like the patient mom I hadn’t quite managed to be just hours before. (几年前，当我的女儿们还小，每晚都想听睡前故事的时候，我就利用了峰终定律。我记得我当时想，不管那天发生了什么麻烦和压力，我都可以让最后的时刻变得重要。我可以以一种平静的方式结束，表现得像几个小时前我还没能做到的那样有耐心的妈妈)”可知，第四段主要讲了作者是如何将峰终定律应用到日常生活中的。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第三段中“Because when it comes to human memory, not all moments are created equal. Instead, our remembered experiences are disproportionately (不成比例地) influenced by peaks (the best moments as well as the worst) and endings (the last moments). Nobel Prize winner Danny Kahneman, who discovered this phenomenon, called this the peak-end rule. It suggests that our judgment of a past experience is largely based on its most extreme point and its endpoint. (因为当涉及到人类记忆时，并不是所有的时刻都是平等的。相反，我们记住的经历不成比例地受到高峰（最好的时刻以及最坏的时刻）和结尾（最后的时刻）的影响。诺贝尔奖得主丹尼・卡尼曼发现了这一现象，他称之为峰终定律。这表明我们对过去经历的判断在很大程度上基于其最极端的点和终点)”和最后一段中“Do orchestrate (精心安排) endings. As Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll might say: Finish strong.Last impressions are especially lasting. (精心安排结尾。就像西雅图海鹰队教练皮特・卡罗尔可能会说的：强势结束。最后的印象尤其持久)”可知，文章主要围绕峰终定律，强调结尾的重要性，B选项“Finish Strong-Your Past will Last (强势结束——你的过去会留存)”符合题意。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Watching a movie can be a magical experience, but do you know that the music in the films we watch has always been an important part of creating that magical experience?___16___ The first commercial film with sound came out in 1927. ___17___Even back in the early days of silent films，most movie theatres hired a musician or a group of musicians to provide music, mostly to drown out the sound of the film projectors (放映机) and people talking. As sound-on-film technology developed, composers were hired to create original music for films. Like music written for an opera，film music serves to advance the story and the action. ___18___ In the same way, a film composer needs to support the screenplay’s storyline. The music also needs to reflect the screenplay’s mood, which includes everything from the action on the screen to sound effects to dialogue. Music has a language of its own. The right piece of music can improve and sometimes even change a viewer’s ideas of what is taking place onscreen. Most of the time, music is used to stress the action onscreen, improve the mood of a scene, foreshadow action that is about to take place or even show the emotion of a character. ___19___ But in many instances the emotional power of the visuals would not be as great were it not for the music. ___20___ Ask yourself, “How would this scene feel if the music were different? Is the composer trying to tell me how I should feel? Or are they merely pushing me in an emotional direction?” A. So, how is the film music created? B. Without it it would be hard to imagine the scene. C. An opera composer must follow the text of the opera. D. Usually, composers and filmmakers don’t want to overshadow a film. E. So the next time you watch a movie, pay close attention to the music. F. The music in a film makes you cheer for the hero and cry at the drama. G. Since then, music has been powerfully linked to the movie-watching experience. 【答案】16. B 17. G 18. C 19. D 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了配乐对一部电影的重要性。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Watching a movie can be a magical experience, but do you know that the music in the films we watch has always been an important part of creating that magical experience?(看电影可能是一种神奇的体验，但你知道吗，我们看电影中的音乐一直是创造这种神奇体验的重要组成部分？)”可知，选项承接上文说明音乐的重要性。故B选项“如果没有它，很难想象会是什么样子”切题。故选B项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“The first commercial film with sound came out in 1927.(1927年，第一部有声商业电影问世)”可知，选项承接上文说明第一部有声商业电影问世以来音乐就与观影体验紧密相连了。故G选项“从那时起，音乐就与观影体验紧密相连”切题。故选G项。 【18题详解】 根据下文“In the same way, a film composer needs to support the screenplay’s storyline. (同样，电影作曲家也需要支持剧本的故事情节)”可知，选项与下文为并列关系，说明歌剧作曲要遵循的原则。故C选项“歌剧作曲家要遵循歌剧的文本”切题。故选C项。 【19题详解】 根据下文“But in many instances the emotional power of the visuals would not be as great were it not for the music. (但在许多情况下，如果没有音乐，视觉效果的情感力量就不会那么强大)”可知，空处与下文为转折关关系，说明了作曲家和电影人不希望看到的效果。故D选项“通常情况下，作曲家和电影人都不想让音乐盖过电影的风头”切题。故选D项。 【20题详解】 根据下文“Ask yourself, “How would this scene feel if the music were different? Is the composer trying to tell me how I should feel? Or are they merely pushing me in an emotional direction?” (问问自己，“如果音乐不同，这个场景会有什么感觉？作曲家是想告诉我应该有什么感觉吗？还是他们只是在把我推向情绪化的方向？”)”可知，要多多注意音乐要表达的作用。故E选项“所以下次你看电影的时候，要注意音乐”切题。故选E项。 第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分) 第一节(共20小题;每小题1.5分，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出填入空白处的最佳选项。 The Washington,D.C.resident, Anna Lee ____21____ what she thought was a replica (复制品) of a Mayan vase for just $4. ____22____, it turned out to be an authentic (真正的) artifact from the ancient Mayan civilization.

Among these neighbors, two families stand out: an elderly woman named Mrs.Thompson and a young family with a baby, the Johnsons. Mrs.Thompson had lived in the community for decades, with her husband having long passed and her children having grown and moved away. She spent her days wandering about her apartment, her window boxes filled with colorful flowers that she lovingly tended to. Her evenings were spent reading books or watching TV, with the volume turned low so as not to disturb her neighbors. Despite her advancing years, she had bright eyes full of energy and always wore a ready smile. The Johnsons, on the other hand, were new to the community. They had recently moved in with their young daughter, Emily, who was just learning to walk and talk. The sounds of her laughter and babbling always filled the community, bringing a newfound energy and joy to the community. But sometimes they needed someone to babysit Emily. At first, the two neighbors interacted politely, exchanging greetings in the hallway or small talk about the weather. But it wasn't until ore fateful day that their relationship deepened in a way that would touch the hearts of everyone in the community. It was a cold winter afternoon, and the snow was, falling heavily outside. Mrs. Thompson, who hadn't been feeling herself under the weather for a few days, was struggling to get out of bed. She had run out of her medication and was too weak to venture out into the snow to refill it. Meanwhile, the Johnsons were getting ready to go out fora walk with Emily. As they bundled up (穿得暖和) in their winter gear, they noticed Mrs. Thompson’s door opened halfway and heard a faint cry for help. Without hesitation, they rushed in to find the elderly woman lying on the floor, with her face pale and her breathing labored. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 In a panic, Mr. Johnson immediately called for an ambulance. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The incident brought the two families closer together than ever before. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： In a panic, Mr. Johnson immediately called for an ambulance.

Thanks to the timely help of the Johnsons, Mrs. Thompson recovered quickly. The incident brought the two families closer together than ever before. Mrs. Thompson often babysat Emily when the Johnsons were at work while the young couple helped her with groceries and other chores, and even took care of her when in need. With days going by, they lived together just like an extended family. This heartwarming story spread in the community.

Here we’ve boiled down the choices to the absolute top events to add to your bucket list. Montreux Jazz Festival, Switzerland This over 50-year-old good time held on the shores of Lake Geneva is the second-largest jazz festival in the world. It’s more than jazz, though. You’ll find broad-ranging acts from pop to rock and blues. And, best of all, a large portion of the performances are free, in keeping with the festival’s purpose to make music accessible to anyone. Palio di Siena, Italy Twice a year, the Tuscan town of Siena recalls its past in the Middle Ages with a bareback horse race. Each of the 17 horses in the race and each of their course riders, represent one of the city’s districts, adding to the roar (咆哮) of the crowd. And to make things even more entertaining, riders are allowed to do anything to their opponents other than pull their reins (缰绳), so expect as many falls as thrills. Saint Patrick’s Festival, Ireland Saint Patrick’s Day is celebrated anywhere in the world where there is an Irish group, but there’s no better place than Dublin, Ireland. This four-day festival in March is packed with a program of music, performing arts, literature, tours and food events. Centered around the national holiday, this festival of Irish pride, achievements and talents will be well supplied with Irish cheer. Harbin International Snow and Ice Festival, China Harbin is transformed into a winter wonderland with huge ice sculptures across the city, decorated with lights and lasers, drawing thousands of artists and art enthusiasts alike. And if that’s not enough to satisfy your fancy, there’s also the Ice Lantern Art Fair, sledding to watch and our favourite, “winter swimming watching”. 1. What features Montreux Jazz Festival? A Its programs are mostly charged. B. It aims to make jazz free to anyone. C. It includes various styles of music. D. It is the oldest jazz festival globally. 2.

B Lieutenant Colonel (中校) Song Lingdong will soon become one of the first astronauts from the post-1990s generation in China to start a space journey. Born in August 1990 to a farmer’s family in Caoxian county, Shandong province, Song joined the PLA Air Force in September 2008 and was sent to learn flying. In the first months at the flight school, the young man had bad scores in his physical tests. He also had a tough time in his first flights due to airsickness. Knowing clearly about his weaknesses, Song decided to depend on willpower and sweat to make up for them. He soon became the one student in his class who always appeared on the exercise field and often asked the trainers to double the amount of his training. Thanks to his hard work, he received the top score in his solo (个人) flight exam. After graduation, Song became a pilot. In the spring of 2018, Song was told about the PLA Astronaut Department beginning to pick new members. Soon he decided to apply. He said the desire to fly above the atmosphere (大气层) was inspired by a TV news report he saw about China’s first spaceflight, when he was 13 years old. In September 2020, he was selected as one of the third group of astronauts. He soon realized that a successful astronaut really needs calmness and team spirit. He learned to slow down and even started going fishing to improve his patience. In the eyes of the leader Cai Xuzhe and teammate Wang Haoze, Song is now fully able to complete a spaceflight and can be depended upon. 4. What can we learn about Song Lingdong from Paragraphs 2 &3? A. He became a pilot without difficulty. B. He did very well in his physical tests. C. He managed to make up for his weaknesses. D. He received the highest score in every exam. 5. What inspired Song Lingdong to be an astronaut? A. A TV news report. B. A childhood dream. C. His hard work in training. D. His curiosity about space. 6. Which of the following best describes Song Lingdong? A. Shallow. B. Talented. C. Frank. D. Hardworking. 7. What can we learn from Song Lingdong’s story? A. It is never too old to learn. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. Where there is a will, there is a way. C When visiting a doctor a few years from now, you can expect to be accompanied by a virtual version of yourself. This so-called digital twin will be a working model of your body that can be displayed onto a physician’s computer screen. Updated with your latest vital signs, it will help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis (诊断). It also opens the door for medicines and procedures designed specifically for you, increasing recovery rates. No matter how unreal this might seem the researchers at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) already use computer simulations (模拟) of the hearts of patients to test different treatments for a heart disorder. It would be far too dangerous to experiment this way on someone’s real heart. Digital twins are starting to be seen everywhere, monitoring the health of jet engines on airliners and helping carmakers spend fewer years on the development of new models by simulating test drives and crashes. All this is being fueled by recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI), which gives twins the ability to make predictions about their physical counterparts (对应的事物), and adjust themselves on new information. Digital twins began as basic computer models of physical objects and systems and have become more advanced with computers becoming more powerful. Complex design and modeling software make it possible for many physical objects to take shape in the virtual world. Small sensors feed twins with real-time data, ensuring that they mirror their physical counterparts. Digital twins make it easier for humans to solve challenging problems, allowing people to have a look into the future, spotting problems before they materialize and testing wild ideas without real-world result. For businesses, this should mean better designs and operations. For society, the promise is equally appealing: personalized health care, and clues as to how the planet might avoid environmental catastrophe. Could these virtual twins go out of control? They might if they are programmed badly, or hacked into. Digital twins will take in mountains of data, some of it wrong and much of it raising concerns about privacy. Yet these risks are not specific to digital twins. They apply to all new technologies, as they always have and always will. The appearance of the digital mirror world will undoubtedly raise new questions, but its potential advantages are already easy to see. 8. Which of the following best describes a digital twin? A. A toy model. B. A video game. C. A virtual copy. D. A medical database. 9. Why do researchers at QMULuse computer simulations of hearts? A. To reduce the cost of the operation. B. To use real hearts more conveniently. C. To help increase patients’ recovery rates. D. To avoid the risk of experimenting on real hearts. 10. How does AI contribute to the development of digital twins? A. It creates the basic computer models of physical systems. B. It offers the ability to forecast and adjust based on new data. C. It enables the perfect simulation of all physical objects. D. It solves the complex problems in the real-world application. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the digital twins? A. Cautious. B. Doubtful. C. Optimistic. D. Critical. D Even now, I have vivid memories of my last day of high school. In my mind’s eye, I’m cleaning out my locker,and then slamming it shut for the last time. I’m roaming the halls with my best friend, blissfully ignoring the bells going off every 50 minutes on schedule because, just today, we’re allowed to break the rules. I’m siting on my desk and chatting with my English teacher, Mr.Carr, in a way that makes me feel almost grown up. It was maybe my favorite day of the whole year. Like the final layer of watercolor the freedom and lightness I felt about that day turned it into a more colorful memory. If the school year hasn’t yet ended for you, consider what you can do to make the finale count. Why? Because when it comes to human memory, not all moments are created equal. Instead, our remembered experiences are disproportionately (不成比例地) influenced by peaks (the best moments as well as the worst) and endings (the last moments). Nobel Prize winner Danny Kahneman, who discovered this phenomenon, called this the peak-end rule. It suggests that our judgment of a past experience is largely based on its most extreme point and its endpoint. I took advantage of the peak-end rule years ago, when my girls were young enough to want a bedtime story each night. I remember thinking that whatever troubles and stress had occurred that day, I could make the last moments count. I could end on a note of calm and act like the patient mom I hadn’t quite managed to be just hours before. Don’t mistake all moments as equal in significance. There’s a reason why yoga classes end with savasana (挺卧式). There’s a reason why we eat dessert last. Do orchestrate (精心安排) endings.

Among these neighbors, two families stand out: an elderly woman named Mrs.Thompson and a young family with a baby, the Johnsons. Mrs.Thompson had lived in the community for decades with her husband having long passed and her children having grown and moved away. She spent her days wandering about her apartment, her window boxes filled with colorful flowers that she lovingly tended to. Her evenings were spent reading books or watching TV, with the volume turned low so as not to disturb her neighbors. Despite her advancing years, she had bright eyes full of energy and always wore a ready smile. The Johnsons, on the other hand, were new to the community. They had recently moved in with their young daughter, Emily, who was just learning to walk and talk. The sounds of her laughter and babbling always filled the community, bringing a newfound energy and joy to the community. But sometimes they needed someone to babysit Emily. At first, the two neighbors interacted politely, exchanging greetings in the hallway or small talk about the weather. But it wasn't until ore fateful day that their relationship deepened in a way that would touch the hearts of everyone in the community. It was a cold winter afternoon, and the snow was, falling heavily outside. Mrs. Thompson, who hadn't been feeling herself under the weather for a few days, was struggling to get out of bed. She had run out of her medication and was too weak to venture out into the snow to refill it. Meanwhile, the Johnsons were getting ready to go out fora walk with Emily. As they bundled up (穿得暖和) in their winter gear, they noticed Mrs. Thompson’s door opened halfway and heard a faint cry for help. Without hesitation, they rushed in to find the elderly woman lying on the floor, with her face pale and her breathing labored. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 In a panic, Mr. Johnson immediately called for an ambulance. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The incident brought the two families closer together than ever before. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
