For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. The future is grey An aging world will oblige us to change how we live Much is made of intergenerational conflicts, with baby boomers competing against millennials or Gen Zers. But however these competing needs are resolved today, younger people will become a 1 (prized) resource in the future, because there will be fewer of them. Populations are slowly growing older than ever before due to two seemingly unstoppable demographic (人口的) forces. One is 2 , as countries become more prosperous, there is a decline in the number of children that people have. When that figure drops below the population replacement level of 2.1 children per woman—— 3 it is offset (抵消) by immigration—the head count shrinks as well as becoming more senior-heavy. If this trend continues, 97 percent of countries are forecast 4 (have) birthrates below the replacement level by the year 2100. The other key factor is that people are living longer in nearly every country in the world, a trend 5 has continued for decades. This 6 (drive) by multiple factors over the past century, including improvements in sanitation (公共卫生), the spread of vaccines and antibiotics, and, later on, by better treatments for heart disease and the decline of smoking. The next reshaping of life expectancy curves could come from the widespread use of weight- 7 (reduce) drugs such as Ozempic, or indeed medicines already in wide use today. These ageing populations present many challenges, forcing countries to rethink their systems of pensions, healthcare and so on. The risk is that there will be too few people of working age to help provide care for 8 who are older. But we 9 not necessarily be too pessimistic. Just like in medicine, advances in artificial intelligence and robotics are continuing rapidly. Could the potential demographic crisis be prevented by a workforce of intelligent machines? If so, 10 having to be worried about robots taking our jobs, we might one day welcome them with open arms. 【答案】 1．more prized 2．that 3．unless 4．to have 5．that/which 6．has been driven 7．reducing 8．those 9．should 10．instead of 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，讨论了全球人口老龄化的现象及其对社会的影响，并提出了应对老龄化挑战的可能途径。 1．考查形容词比较级。句意：但是，无论这些相互竞争的需求如何在今天得到解决，年轻人将在未来成为更加珍贵的资源，因为他们的数量将越来越少。根据下文“because there will be fewer of them(因为他们的数量将越来越少)”可知，此处将年轻人的现在和未来进行比较，应填形容词的比较级，表示“更加珍贵的”，故填more prized。 2．考查表语从句。句意：一是，随着国家变得更加繁荣，人们拥有的孩子数量正在下降。分析句子结构可知，空处引导表语从句，从句中不缺少成分，也没有特殊含义，故用that引导，故填that。 3．考查连词。句意：当这一数字降至每位女性2.1个孩子的替代水平以下时，除非被移民抵消，否则人口数量将减少，同时也将变得更加老龄化。根据下文“it is offset (抵消) by immigration(被移民抵消)”可知，此处引出了一种例外的情况，应填连词表示“除非”，故填unless。 4．考查非谓语动词。句意：如果这一趋势继续下去，预计到2100年，97%的国家的出生率将低于替代水平。be forecast to do sth为固定短语，意为“被预测做某事”，故填to have。 5．考查定语从句。句意：另一个关键因素是，世界各地几乎所有国家的人们都在活得更长，这一趋势已经持续了几十年。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词为a trend，在从句中作主语，故用关系代词that或which引导定语从句，故填that/which。 6．考查时态语态。句意：在过去一个世纪里，这一趋势是由多个因素驱动的，包括公共卫生的改善、疫苗和抗生素的普及，以及后来对心脏病的更好治疗和吸烟率的下降。根据句意及时间状语over the past century可知，此处应填现在完成时，表示过去的动作对现在造成的影响，且主语this与drive之间为被动关系，故填has been driven。 7．考查非谓语动词。句意：体重减轻药物如奥司他韦(Ozempic)的广泛使用可能会重塑预期寿命曲线，或者事实上，今天已经广泛使用的药物也可能会带来变化。根据句意及空后的drugs可知，此处应填非谓语动词作定语，因与其逻辑主语drugs之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，使用现在分词，故填reducing。 8．考查代词。句意：风险在于，工作年龄的人口太少，无法帮助照顾那些年纪较大的人。根据下文“who are older(年纪较大的人)”及空前的介词for可知，此处应填代词，指代上文提到的older people，故填those。 9．考查情态动词。句意：但我们不一定非要过于悲观。根据下文“not necessarily be too pessimistic(不一定非要过于悲观)”可知，此处给出了一个建议，应填情态动词，表示“不一定非要”，故填should。 10．考查介词短语。句意：如果这样，我们就不必担心机器人抢走我们的工作，而是张开双臂欢迎它们的到来。根据下文we might one day welcome them with open arms(而是张开双臂欢迎它们的到来)可知，此处表示两种选择或行为之间的替换关系，应填介词短语，表示“而不是”，故填instead of。 Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A．dawn   B．content   C． tracked   D．unconditionally   E. satisfying   F. adorable G. bordered   H. approaches   I. vulnerable   J. hooked   K. alone I was in my mid-20s when I fell into one of the most toxic relationships of my life. I remember buying my first self-help book, which promised I could be healed of anything if only I abandoned my limiting beliefs. I finished reading it in days and even though I was still the same depressed, broke, single mother I had been when I picked up the book, that didn’t matter. I was 11 . Over the next 15 years, I bought hundreds of self-help books, courses and apps, and 12 down every self-styled personal improvement mentors on TikTok and YouTube in the hope that they could teach me how to become happier, more confident and more 13 . But still, nothing worked. Some 14 were gentle and perhaps even obvious: “talk kindly to yourself, get enough sleep”. Others 15 on danger, whether it was encouraging me to spend more money than I could afford in order to “manifest” wealth or telling me to ignore my health problems to feel healthy. Only I never realised the danger at the time. Growing up in an environment of addiction and domestic conflict made me 16 to the industry’s promises of self-improvement. My childhood experiences made it hard for me to know my place and value in the world, or find my people. I believed self-help authors could be the mentors I thought I had always needed but never found. My obsession with self-help had become toxic, and something had to give. It started to 17 on me that instead of helping me, the advice was making me feel worse. It took a deep conversation with a loved one to recognise that when trying to change my life, I was trying to change things that had happened to me and shaped who I was—often things that were out of my control. Instead of focusing on who I wanted to become, I had to quit self-help to learn and accept who I really was. Spending time 18 , often walking, and listening to my thoughts without trying to silence or change them helped. I let myself cry rather than hold in the tears like I always used to do. Since I quit my self-help dependency, I’ve realised that focusing all your energy on improving yourself can really suck the joy out of life. It makes happiness conditional: only when I have got to a certain stage can I feel 19 ; only when I look that way can I be loved. It can also stop you from 20 accepting your imperfectly perfect self. After a long time, I am finally coming round to the idea that perhaps I never needed fixing at all. 【答案】 11．J 12．C 13．F 14．H 15．G 16．I 17．A 18．K 19．B 20．D 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。主要通过讲述作者自己的经历，论述了“看自助书籍真的有用吗”这一问题。 11．考查形容词。句意：我上瘾了。根据句意以及下文的“Over the next 15 years, I bought hundreds of self-help books, courses and apps”可知，作者在接下来的十多年买了很多自助书籍，说明她对自助书籍入迷了，用形容词hooked作表语。故选J。 12．考查动词。句意：在接下来的15年里，我买了数百本“自助”书籍、报名了各式各样的课程，下载了无数的应用，追寻每个TikTok和YouTube上找到了每一位自称是个人成长大师的博主，寄希望他们能教我如何变得更快乐、更自信、更可爱。根据句意以及上文的“Over the next 15 years, I bought hundreds of self-help books, courses and apps”可知，作者在随后的15年里，购买“自助”相关的书籍，报各种与之相关的课程，由此可推断，此处指的是作者“追寻”自诩个人成长大师的人，track down意为“追寻”符合语境，且与bought为并列关系，所以使用过去式形式tracked。故选C。 13．考查形容词。句意：在接下来的15年里，我买了数百本“自助”书籍、报名了各式各样的课程，下载了无数的应用，追寻每个TikTok和YouTube上找到了每一位自称是个人成长大师的博主，寄希望他们能教我如何变得更快乐、更自信、更可爱。此处为形容词与上文的“happier, more confident”为并列关系，作表语，所以此处应为adorable意为“可爱的”符合语境。故选F。 14．考查名词。句意：有些方法是温和且直观的，比如“善待自己，保证充足的睡眠”。此处为名词作主语，结合谓语动词可知，此处应为名词复数，结合“talk kindly to yourself, get enough sleep”可知，此处应为approaches意为“方法”符合语境。故选H。 15．考查动词。句意：还有一些则近乎危险，比如鼓励我花更多的钱来“彰显”财富，或者告诉我忽略自己的健康问题，让自己感觉健康。此处应为谓语动词，根据上文的“Some ____4____ were gentle and perhaps even obvious”可知，此处讲述的是一些方法的特点，所以此处应为“border on”意为“接近，近乎”符合语境，结合上文的谓语动词were可知，此处使用动词过去式形式bordered。故选G。 16．考查形容词。句意：我在一个充满成瘾和家庭冲突的环境中长大，让我很容易受到“自助”概念的影响。此处应为形容词作宾补，根据上文的“Growing up in an environment of addiction and domestic conflict”可知，作者成长在一个充满成瘾和家庭冲突的环境中，所以此处应为vulnerable意为“易受伤害的”符合语境。故选I。 17．考查动词。句意：我开始明白，这些建议非但没有帮助我，反而让我感觉更糟。此处为谓语动词，根据上文的“My obsession with self-help had become toxic, and something had to give.”可知，作者认为自己对“自助”的痴迷带来了伤害，到了必须做出改变的地步，由此可知，此处指的是作者开始“明白”，所以此处应为dawn on意为“开始明白”符合语境，且位于不定式符号to之后，所以使用动词原形。故选A。 18．考查副词。句意：花时间独处，经常散步，倾听自己的想法，而不是试图让它们沉默或改变它们，这些方法起了作用。此处应为副词作状语修饰动词spending，结合句意以及下文的“often walking, and listening to my thoughts”可知，作者意识到“经常散步，倾听自己内心的想法”等这些方法起了作用，所以此处应是alone意为“独自地”符合语境。故选K。 19．考查形容词。句意：幸福是有条件的：只有当我达到某个阶段时，我才会感到满足；只有当我变成理想中的样子时，我才能被爱。此处为形容词作表语，根据句意以及上文的“only when I have got to a certain stage”可知，作者觉得只有达到某个阶段才会觉得“满足”，所以此处应为content。故选B。 20．考查副词。句意：你将无法无条件地接受不完美却独特的自己。此处为副词作状语修饰动词accepting，结合句意以及上文的“It makes happiness conditional”可知，快乐都是有条件的，由此可知，此处指的是将无法“无条件地”接受不完美的自己，所以此处应为unconditionally。故选D。 II.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 21-35每题1分；36-50每题2分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context People’s relationship with work is complex and complicated. 21 complaining about the boredom and bureaucracy, the power-crazed bosses and disobedient colleagues, individuals need the security of a job. A century of research has shown that 22 is bad for mental health, leading to depression, anxiety and reduced self-esteem. On average, it has an even greater effect than divorce. But how much work do you need to do? A recent paper by the Centre for Business Research at Cambridge University found that people working reduced working hours or being 23 do not have poorer mental health. What was particularly surprising is how little work was needed to keep people happy. The threshold for good mental health was just one day a week — after that, it seemed to make little difference to individuals’ well-being if they worked eight hours or 48 hours a week. The 24 from working clearly comes from the feeling of purpose, from the social status it creates and from the camaraderie of colleagues engaged in the same tasks. A little bit of work may be 25 , but too much is not. An enterprising junior analyst at Goldman Sachs recently surveyed his 26 . The survey found those first-year analysts had worked an average 98 hours a week since the start of 2021, and only managed five hours of sleep a night. It found that 77% of them had been the subject of 27 , that 75% had sought, or considered seeking counselling, and that, on average, they had suffered sharp declines in mental and physical health. Nevertheless, the general reaction to the story was remarkably 28 . In some people’s eyes, the young analysts should have expected to be 29 in such a fashion; after all, that is why they were being paid so well. The well-experienced analysts of the investment- banking industry thought “It was the same in my day. Never did me any harm.” 30 , it is still hard to see why young analysts should expect to suffer. They joined a bank, not the Mafia. Nor does it make much 31 sense to have employees working so long that they only get to sleep five hours a night. They can hardly be operating 32 when they are dog-tired. That junior professional staff have always worked long hours is not a good explanation for 33 stress on young people at the start of their careers. It smacks of the legendary navy motto: “The beatings will continue until morale improves.” Clearly, economy cannot 34 if everyone works one day a week. The need to limit excessive working hours was realised back in Victorian times. For much of the 20th century the length of the average working week fell while output continued to climb. There will be occasions when people have to work late or rise early to finish a project. Day after day, however, a long-hours lifestyle is bad for workers’ health. Some organizations may see the 35 for work as a sign of an employee’s willingness to put their job ahead of their families and friends. If so, they don’t need to have better employees. They need better managers. 21．A．With B．Despite C．Against D．Like 22．A．unemployment B．divorce C．complaint D．prosecution 23．A．employed B．suspended C．criticized D．motivated 24．A．secrets B．fatigue C．boost D．assignment 25．A．stressful B．helpless C．creative D．satisfying 26．A．peers B．superiors C．relatives D．advocates 27．A．workplace abuse B．racial discrimination C．cyber bullying D．peer pressure 28．A．predictable B．inevitable C．normal D．unsympathetic 29．A．accommodated B．treated C．paid D．fired 30．A．Conversely B．Therefore C．However D．Likewise 31．A．education B．medicine C．fitness D．business 32．A．at full efficiency B．at a loss C．in others’ shoes D．in low spirits 33．A．relieving B．piling C．blaming D．experimenting 34．A．contract B．collapse C．prosper D．recover 35．A．appetite B．gift C．excuse D．strategy 【答案】 21．B 22．A 23．B 24．C 25．D 26．A 27．A 28．D 29．B 30．C 31．D 32．A 33．B 34．C 35．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述人和工作之间的关系，剑桥大学商业研究中心近日发表的一项研究显示，每周只需工作一天便能带来快乐。 21．考查介词词义辨析。句意：尽管人们抱怨工作的无聊和官僚主义、疯狂追求权力的老板和不听话的同事，但人们还是需要一份工作的安全感。A.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) “Who says it’s Father’s Day?” my son says to me, with the questioning angry look of someone who’s been told they have extra tax to pay. “Well, the world does,” I tell him, suddenly self-conscious. “It’s a special day for daddies.” Something about this — I can’t think what — comes out sounding quite desperate and he looks at me as if I’ve just suggested he prove his love for me with a face tattoo (文身) . It’s a look of suspicion, but also of tender concern for my mental state. This is his fifth Father’s Day, so I can’t help feeling slightly wounded that the concept hasn’t stuck with him. I also can’t help noting that he has never had any such issue with Mother’s Day, which has always seemed to him like common sense. The event’s nearness to his own birthday two weeks from now — is making things more difficult for him to tolerate. It would seem he finds it impolite that the run-up to his special day should be interrupted so close to the finish line by a day that celebrates me, the lesser of his two parents. In any case, if he’s planning to make or gift me something, this conversation has been a masterstroke of expectation management “So, will all daddies get a Father’s Day?” he asks. “Yes,” I reply, “and this isn’t new — it’s every year!” I attempt to regulate my voice/offence, but also make it very clear I haven’t made this idea up on the spot by myself. “You’ve been doing it since you were born. And it’s been around longer than that. I get things for Granddad every year, too.” At this he stirs himself up. He has never quite stopped being fascinated by the idea that his granddad is my dad, in the same way that I am his. I suppose it’s the same thrill I feel when I see pictures of massive cranes (起重机) being built by other, even bigger cranes. “What do you get him?” he asks. “Well,” I say, “things like CDs or socks — and always a card.” At this he seems inspired. “I’ll do a card!” he says, brightening. “You could buy me something, too...” I begin, but he is no longer listening, running to grab coloured paper and glittery pens. Not wishing to see this tribute to myself a whole week early, I smile and tell him I really shouldn’t be watching and get up to leave him to it. “Yes,” he says, just in time for me to see he’s actually writing “Dear Granddad” on the page. “Don’t tell him!” 36．How does the writer feel when explaining Father’s Day? A．Suspicious. B．Embarrassed. C．Proud. D．Ridiculous. 37．It can be inferred from the son’s response that ________. A．the son feels hurt because the concept escapes him B．the writer looks relieved due to his son’s tender heart C．a face tattoo is the way to prove a son’s love for his father D．the son identifies with Mother’s Day more than Father’s Day 38．The writer mentions Granddad in order to ________. A．justify the annual celebration of Father’s Day B．practise skills of expectation management C．narrow the gap between the three generations D．link Father’s Day to his son’s birthday 39．Which of the following best summarises the passage? A．When celebrating Father’s Day, you should also send a DIY card to your grandpa. B．It is a universally acknowledged fact that Father’s Day is a special day for daddies. C．Father’s Day is a special time to celebrate Dad, but for my son that’s a bit of a stretch. D．My son and father have agreed to keep the Father’s Day greetings card secret from me. 【答案】36．B 37．D 38．A 39．C 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，讲述了作者告诉儿子父亲节也是需要为父亲庆祝的，而儿子不以为然的故事。 36．细节理解题。根据文章第一段““Well, the world does,” I tell him, suddenly self-conscious. “It’s a special day for daddies.” (“好吧，世界知道。”我告诉他，突然有点难为情。“对爸爸们来说，这是一个特别的日子。”)”及第二段“Something about this—I can’t think what—comes out sounding quite desperate and he looks at me as if I’ve just suggested he prove his love for me with a face tattoo (文身). (关于这件事——我想不出是什么——听起来很绝望，他看着我，好像我刚刚建议他用脸上的纹身来证明他对我的爱。)”可知，当和儿子解释父亲节时，作者有一些尴尬和难为情。故选B。 37．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“This is his fifth Father’s Day, so I can’t help feeling slightly wounded that the concept hasn’t stuck with him. I also can’t help noting that he has never had any such issue with Mother’s Day, which has always seemed to him like common sense. (这是他的第五个父亲节了，所以我忍不住感到有点受伤，因为他没有坚持这个概念。我也不得不指出，他对母亲节从来没有任何这样的问题，这对他来说一直是常识。)”可推知，儿子对父亲节没有概念，但是却记得母亲节，因此，儿子更认同母亲节而不是父亲节。故选D。 38．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第五段““So, will all daddies get a Father’s Day?” he asks. “Yes,” I reply, “and this isn’t new-it’s every year!” I attempt to regulate my voice/offence, but also make it very clear I haven’t made this idea up on the spot by myself. “You’ve been doing it since you were born. And it’s been around longer than that. I get things for Granddad every year, too.” (“那么，所有的爸爸都会有父亲节吗？”他问道。“是的，”我回答，“而且这不是新的——每年都是！”我试图调整我的声音/冒犯，但也非常清楚地表明，这不是我自己当场编造的想法。“你一出生就在做这件事。它存在的时间比那还长。我每年也给爷爷买东西。”)”可知，作者提及自己给爷爷买东西，是为了说明父亲节自己也要给父亲庆祝，是为了给一年一度的父亲节庆祝活动正名。故选A。 39．主旨大意题。根据文章倒数第二段““You could buy me something, too…” I begin, but he is no longer listening, running to grab coloured paper and glittery pens. Not wishing to see this tribute to myself a whole week early, I smile and tell him I really shouldn’t be watching and get up to leave him to it. (“你也可以给我买点东西……”我开始说，但他不再听了，跑去抓彩纸和闪闪发光的笔。我不想提前一周看到他对我的致敬，我笑着告诉他我真的不应该看，然后站起来让他自己发挥。)”及最后一段““Yes,” he says, just in time for me to see he’s actually writing “Dear Granddad” on the page. “Don’t tell him!” (“是的，”他说，正好让我看到他真的在纸上写了“亲爱的爷爷”。“别告诉他！”)”可知，全文讲述了作者告诉儿子父亲节也是一年一度的节日，需要给父亲庆祝，但儿子最后却给爷爷做了一张卡片，因此，C选项“父亲节是一个庆祝父亲的特殊日子，但对我儿子来说，这有点勉强。”可以最好的概括全文。故选C。 (B) Hopping Around the World Hopscotch is a very old game. It usually uses a puck, such as a stone, and a pattern that players hop through. Here are different versions to play. Scotch-Hoppers Children in England and Scotland play this game with a stone or a coin. Throw the stone into Box 1. Hop over Box 1 and through the pattern. On the way back, hop into Box 1, pick up the stone, and hop out. Then, toss the puck into Box 2, and so on. If your stone enters the wrong box, start over! The first player to throw the stone into each box and hop through the whole pattern wins. Escargot Escargot is the French word for “snail.” For this game, the pattern looks like a snail. No puck is used. Players hop through the pattern on one foot. You may rest in the center on both feet. After resting, hop back through the pattern and out. If you finish the pattern without stepping on a line, write your name in a space. No other player may land in that space. At the end, the player who owns the most spaces wins. La Thunkuna Children play this game in Bolivia, a country in South America. The puck is a stone or the peel from an orange. Instead of writing a number in each square, players write each day of the week. Throw the puck into the first box. Hop over it into the second box. Next, kick the puck backwards and out of the pattern. Then, hop out. On your next turn, throw the puck into the next space, and so on. The first player to hop all the way through wins. Gat Fei Gei In this Chinese version of hopscotch, the puck is a piece of roof tile. At the top is the pig’s head. Toss the puck into the pig’s head and hop through the pattern. When you reach boxes 7 and 8, spin around and pick up the puck from behind. If you hop through the pattern without making a mistake, pick a box and write your name in it. No one else can land in that box! The player who owns the most boxes wins. 40．What are the two common things used in hopscotch? A．Coin and pin. B．Box and chair. C．Snail and space. D．Puck and pattern. 41．Which of the following shows the difference of Escargot from other hopscotches? A．It needs more space. B．It doesn’t need a puck. C．It is a snail from France. D．It isn’t a pattern but a line. 42．What is the passage mainly talking about? A．The successful winners in the hopscotch. B．The history and development of hopscotch. C．The rules of different versions of hopscotch. D．The popularity of hopscotch all over the world. 【答案】40．D 41．B 42．C 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了世界各地不同版本的跳房子。 40．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Hopscotch is a very old game. It usually uses a puck, such as a stone, and a pattern that players hop through(跳房子游戏是一种非常古老的游戏。它通常使用一个冰球，比如一块石头，以及一个让玩家跳跃的图案。)”可知，跳房子游戏中最常用的两种东西是冰球和图案。故选D。 41．细节理解题。根据Scotch-Hoppers部分中的“Children in England and Scotland play this game with a stone or a coin. (英格兰和苏格兰的孩子们用石头或硬币玩这个游戏。)”，Escargot部分中的“No puck is used.(不使用冰球)”，La Thunkuna部分中的“The puck is a stone or the peel from an orange(冰球是一块石头或橙子皮)”和Gat Fei Gei部分中的“In this Chinese version of hopscotch, the puck is a piece of roof tile. (在这个中国版的跳房子游戏中，冰球是一块屋顶瓦片)”可知，Escargot 与其他跳房子的不同之处在于它不需要冰球。故选B。 42．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是标题“Hopping Around the World(世界各地的跳房子)”和第一段“Hopscotch is a very old game. It usually uses a puck, such as a stone, and a pattern that players hop through. Here are different versions to play.(跳房子游戏是一种非常古老的游戏。它通常使用一个冰球，比如一块石头，以及一个让玩家跳跃的图案。这里有不同的版本。)”可知，文章主要介绍了世界上不同版本跳房子游戏的规则。故选C。 (C) A math coach’s plan to beat AI: Be more human The country’s most charismatic math teacher was standing in a middle school on a Friday night with a message for students and their anxious parents about AI and ChatGPT. Po-Shen Loh, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University and Team USA’s coach for the International Mathematical Olympiad(国际数学奥林匹克竞赛) , delivered a talk called “How to Survive the ChatGPT Invasion.” And his simple, practical advice applied to everyone in the hall, “Think about what makes humans human, ” Loh said, “and lean into that as hard as possible.” He says the key to survival is knowing how to solve problems — and knowing which problems to solve. He urges math enthusiasts to focus on creativity, emotion and the stuff that distinguishes man from machine and won’t go obsolete. As artificial intelligence gets smarter, the importance on ingenuity will become greater. This is what he wants to drill into their impressionable (易受影响的) young minds: Being human will only be more important as AI becomes more powerful. It’s not just students who should be paying attention to Po-Shen Loh. The lesson that he’s delivering in schools is useful for any business that might be wondering how it’s going to be warped (使变形) by the existential threat of artificial intelligence. But the people who will inherit the economy reshaped by the AI boom are students today. The tech they’re already using to cheat on their homework will look primitive by the time they’re in college. They belong to the first generation that will have grown up with AI, just as Gen Z came of age with the iPhone and millennials barely remember a time before they were online. These children and teens of the ChatGPT era will have a better intuitive understanding of this disruptive force than adults because they will have never really experienced life without it. After his talk, I asked how his message to a room full of fifth-graders applies to someone in an office, and he replied faster than ChatGPT. “The future of jobs is figuring out how to find pain points” he said. “And a pain point is a human pain.” It’s his theorem (定理) of success. “You need to be able to create value,” he said. “People who make value will always have opportunities.” Loh was aware of the hype around AI, but the first time he was overwhelmed by its potential was March 14, also known as Pi Day, when he started experimenting with the most viral product in Silicon Valley’s history. When OpenAI released its most recent large language model, GPT-4, he paid a 20 monthly fee and gave ChatGPT Plus a tricky math-contest question. ChatGPT calculated the answer and showed its elega work. “This machine is the world’s most powerful tool at repeating things that have been done many times before,” he tells students. “But now I want to show something it cannot do.” Loh then fed ChatGPT a question that it almost certainly hasn’t seen before -and it flubbed the answer. This might sound familiar to anyone who has spent enough time with a chat-bot that has a nasty habit of being confidently wrong: It made up a bunch of nonsense and apologized for its errors. “Let’s dig a little more into this. The role of the GPT is to always say the most obvious next word. But what is invention? What is creativity and innovation? Is it to say the most obvious thing? No, It might be to say a non-obvious thing.” Loh is a big fan of non-obvious things. At a university known for computer science, he teaches with a place of chalk. To improve his public speaking, he spent a year taking improve-comedy classes. He found a pain point, followed his own advice and leveraged his innate advantage over AI: He’s a human. “Is there going to be a great human-versus-robots war? The answer is, unfortunately, yes,” Loh said. “My goal is to make sure the humans win.” 43．Which of the following words is in closest meaning to the underlined word ”obsolete“ (para.2)? A．extinct B．out-of-date C．unnoticed D．downhill 44．What do students today have in common with Gen Z and millennials? A．They are of the same age and will inherit the economy reshaped by AI boom. B．They all use powerful AI tools like ChatGPT to chat on their homework. C．They all grow up with a major and specific technology breakthrough. D．They understand the disruptive force of AI as none of them experienced life without it. 45．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．What makes humans human is our innate advantage against the ever-powerful, ever-smarter AI. B．Feeding ChatGPT a tricky question that appeared in the IMO is one of the so-called” non-obvious things". C．The future of jobs lies in the fact that we must figure out in which part of our body human pain appears. D．IMO contestants are those who have opportunities in the future as they know how to create value. 46．What is Po-Shen Loh’s attitude towards the unavoidable between human and robots? A．Indifferent. B．Suspicious. C．Desperate. D．Confident. 【答案】43．B 44．C 45．A 46．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕数学教练Po-Shen Loh对于如何在人工智能（特别是ChatGPT）日益发展的背景下保持人类优势的观点进行阐述。Loh教授通过在学校发表演讲、与记者的对话以及自己的实践经历，向读者解释了人类在面对人工智能时的生存之道，强调了创造力、情感和人类特有的问题解决能力的重要性。 43．词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在句“He urges math enthusiasts to focus on creativity, emotion and the stuff that distinguishes man from machine and won’t go obsolete.(他鼓励数学爱好者们关注创造力、情感以及那些能将人与机器区分开来且_________的东西。)”以及常识可知，创造力、情感和人类与机器的区别是人类特有的，不会过时，所以划线词的意思是“过时的”。选项A“extinct (灭绝的)”；选项B“out-of-date (过时的)”；选项C“unnoticed (未被注意的)”；选项D“downhill (走下坡路的)”。故选B。 44．细节理解题。根据文章第五段“They belong to the first generation that will have grown up with AI, just as Gen Z came of age with the iPhone and millennials barely remember a time before they were online.(他们属于第一代伴随着AI成长起来的人，就像Z世代伴随着iPhone成长，而千禧一代几乎不记得没有网络的时代一样。)”可知，今天的学生与Z世代和千禧一代都伴随着一种重大且具体的技术突破而成长。故选C。 45．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“And his simple, practical advice applied to everyone in the hall, “Think about what makes humans human, ” Loh said, “and lean into that as hard as possible.”(他给在场的每个人提出了简单而实用的建议：“想想是什么让人之所以为人，”Loh说，“并尽可能地向这一点靠拢。”)”、第三段“He urges math enthusiasts to focus on creativity, emotion and the stuff that distinguishes man from machine and won’t go obsolete. As artificial intelligence gets smarter, the importance on ingenuity will become greater. This is what he wants to drill into their impressionable(易受影响的)young minds: Being human will only be more important as AI becomes more powerful.(他鼓励数学爱好者们关注创造力、情感以及那些能将人与机器区分开来且不会过时的东西。随着人工智能变得越来越聪明，创造力的重要性将会越来越大。这正是他想让这些易受影响的年轻头脑铭记于心的：随着AI变得越来越强大，作为人类将变得更加重要。)”可推测，人类的独特性和创造力，这正是我们相对于AI的固有优势。故选A。 46．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“He found a pain point, followed his own advice and leveraged his innate advantage over AI: He’s a human.(他找到了一个痛点，遵循了自己的建议，并利用了他在AI方面的先天优势：他是人类。)”以及最后一段““Is there going to be a great human-versus-robots war? The answer is, unfortunately, yes,” Loh said. “My goal is to make sure the humans win.”(“人类与机器人的大战会发生吗？不幸的是，答案是肯定的，” Loh说，“我的目标是确保人类获胜。”)”可推测，Loh对人类战胜人工智能的能力充满信心，并表示他的目标是确保人类在这种情况下获胜。故选D。 Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. In business, there is a speed difference: It’s the difference between how important firm leaders say speed is to their competitive strategy and how fast the company actually moves. The difference is important regardless of industry and company size. 47 In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that choose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track. What’s more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up “improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-year period. 48 They thought differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean. Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operation speed (moving quickly )and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value ).Simply increasing the speed of production, for example ,may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference .But that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services. In our study, higher-performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. They became more open to ideas and discussion. 49 And they allowed time to look back and learn. By contrast, performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didn’t develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about changes. Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership. 50 That kind of strategy must come from the top. A．How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better? B．Teams that regularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore, are more successful in meeting their business goals. C．More haste, less speed, which in the study proves wrong. D．Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed. E．They valued efficiency rather than consideration. F．They encouraged new ways of thinking. 【答案】47．D 48．A 49．F 50．B 【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章围绕速度展开，否定了一味强调速度的盲目性，区分了operational speed（操作速度）与strategic speed（战略速度），强调了适当时间采取战略速度的重要性。 47．考查上下文及句意理解。根据上文The difference is important regardless of industry and company size.可知，无论行业和公司规模如何，那些担心失去竞争优势的公司会花费大量的时间和金钱来寻找加快速度的方法。故D项Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.符合此处语境。故D选项正确。 48．考查上下文及句意理解。根据上文What’s more, the firms that“slowed down to speed up “improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-year period.可知，那些“放慢速度以加快速度”的公司改善了他们的最高和最低收入，在三年内平均销售额提高了40%，营业收入提高了52%。故A项How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better?（他们是如何违反商业物理定律的，他们比竞争对手花费了更多的时间，却表现得更好的呢？）符合此处语境。故A选项正确。 49．考查上下文及句意理解。根据上文They became more open to ideas and discussion.及下文And they allowed time to look back and learn.可知，他们对思想和讨论变得更加开放，允许时间回顾和学习。故F项They encouraged new ways of thinking（他们鼓励新的思维方式）符合此处语境。故F选项正确。 50．考查上下文及句意理解。根据上文Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership. 　　4　　 及下文That kind of strategy must come from the top.可知，战略速度是一种领导力，而这种战略必须来自最高层。故B项Teams that regularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore, are more successful in meeting their business goals.（那些经常花时间把事情做好，而不是埋头苦干的人，更能成功地实现他们的商业目标）符合此处语境。故B选项正确。 III. Summary Writing(共10分) 51．Directions: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Easy Ways to Get More Nutrients A can of soft drink and two large eggs may have a similar number of calories, but the eggs will provide us with protein, vitamins and other nutrients, and satisfy our hunger, while a fizzy drink provides little more than tooth decay and calories. The important concept here is nutrient density. This is the number of nutrients we take in for each calorie consumed. No one would suggest replacing sweet drinks with eggs, but what can we do to increase nutrient density in our diet? “Have you had your five a day?” that’s the message on British supermarket shelves, and it’s asking about fruit and vegetables. Many countries have launched similar campaigns to encourage people to eat more healthily. Fresh, natural produce is usually very dense in nutrients. Eating a wide range of fruits and vegetables is important, so some advice focuses on including different colours of food in our diets. ‘Eating a rainbow’ could be one way to get more nutrients. Other advice recommends that we are more adventurous in what we eat. Cooking food that we haven’t eaten before can lead us to use ingredients that we don’t usually consume. This can give us a wider range of nutrients. It’s not just about fruit and vegetables. Even using different seasoning can offer health benefits. Nutrition academic Hazel Flight highlights that flavourings such as garlic, ginger or turmeric can have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, while also leading people to use less salt. If you’re not feeling that adventurous, then swapping individual food items can be beneficial. Choosing wholegrain bread or rice instead of white bread or rice can increase fibre intake. Unsalted nuts provide more nutrients than snacks such as crisps. So, fresh fruit and vegetables, swapping the worst things, and just a little, bit more adventure could be the secret to a more nutritious diet. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】 Nutrient density refers to the amount of nutrients we consume per calorie consumed. Increasing nutrient density is the secret to a nutritious diet that requires people to eat more healthily. Fresh, natural produce is often packed with nutrients. Cooking foods we haven’t eaten before can also give us a wider range of nutrients. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍营养密度指的是我们每摄入一卡路里所摄入的营养。增加营养密度是营养饮食的秘密，这需要人们吃得更健康。新鲜、天然的农产品通常富含营养。烹饪我们以前没有吃过的食物也可以给我们提供更广泛的营养。 【详解】1 要点摘录 ①The important concept here is nutrient density. ②Fresh, natural produce is usually very dense in nutrients. ③Other advice recommends that we are more adventurous in what we eat. ④If you’re not feeling that adventurous, then swapping individual food items can be beneficial. 2.缜密构思将第2、3两个要点进行重组，将第3、4两个要点进行整合。 3.遣词造句 Nutrient density refers to the amount of nutrients we consume per calorie consumed.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. The future is grey An aging world will oblige us to change how we live Much is made of intergenerational conflicts, with baby boomers competing against millennials or Gen Zers. But however these competing needs are resolved today, younger people will become a 1 (prized) resource in the future, because there will be fewer of them. Populations are slowly growing older than ever before due to two seemingly unstoppable demographic (人口的) forces. One is 2 , as countries become more prosperous, there is a decline in the number of children that people have. When that figure drops below the population replacement level of 2.1 children per woman—— 3 it is offset (抵消) by immigration—the head count shrinks as well as becoming more senior-heavy. If this trend continues, 97 percent of countries are forecast 4 (have) birthrates below the replacement level by the year 2100. The other key factor is that people are living longer in nearly every country in the world, a trend 5 has continued for decades. This 6 (drive) by multiple factors over the past century, including improvements in sanitation (公共卫生), the spread of vaccines and antibiotics, and, later on, by better treatments for heart disease and the decline of smoking. The next reshaping of life expectancy curves could come from the widespread use of weight- 7 (reduce) drugs such as Ozempic, or indeed medicines already in wide use today. These ageing populations present many challenges, forcing countries to rethink their systems of pensions, healthcare and so on. The risk is that there will be too few people of working age to help provide care for 8 who are older. But we 9 not necessarily be too pessimistic. Just like in medicine, advances in artificial intelligence and robotics are continuing rapidly. Could the potential demographic crisis be prevented by a workforce of intelligent machines? If so, 10 having to be worried about robots taking our jobs, we might one day welcome them with open arms. Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A．dawn   B．content   C． tracked   D．unconditionally   E. satisfying   F. adorable G. bordered   H. approaches   I. vulnerable   J. hooked   K. alone I was in my mid-20s when I fell into one of the most toxic relationships of my life. I remember buying my first self-help book, which promised I could be healed of anything if only I abandoned my limiting beliefs. I finished reading it in days and even though I was still the same depressed, broke, single mother I had been when I picked up the book, that didn’t matter. I was 11 . Over the next 15 years, I bought hundreds of self-help books, courses and apps, and 12 down every self-styled personal improvement mentors on TikTok and YouTube in the hope that they could teach me how to become happier, more confident and more 13 . But still, nothing worked. Some 14 were gentle and perhaps even obvious: “talk kindly to yourself, get enough sleep”. Others 15 on danger, whether it was encouraging me to spend more money than I could afford in order to “manifest” wealth or telling me to ignore my health problems to feel healthy. Only I never realised the danger at the time. Growing up in an environment of addiction and domestic conflict made me 16 to the industry’s promises of self-improvement. My childhood experiences made it hard for me to know my place and value in the world, or find my people. I believed self-help authors could be the mentors I thought I had always needed but never found. My obsession with self-help had become toxic, and something had to give. It started to 17 on me that instead of helping me, the advice was making me feel worse. It took a deep conversation with a loved one to recognise that when trying to change my life, I was trying to change things that had happened to me and shaped who I was—often things that were out of my control. Instead of focusing on who I wanted to become, I had to quit self-help to learn and accept who I really was. Spending time 18 , often walking, and listening to my thoughts without trying to silence or change them helped. I let myself cry rather than hold in the tears like I always used to do. Since I quit my self-help dependency, I’ve realised that focusing all your energy on improving yourself can really suck the joy out of life. It makes happiness conditional: only when I have got to a certain stage can I feel 19 ; only when I look that way can I be loved. It can also stop you from 20 accepting your imperfectly perfect self. After a long time, I am finally coming round to the idea that perhaps I never needed fixing at all. II.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 21-35每题1分；36-50每题2分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context People’s relationship with work is complex and complicated. 21 complaining about the boredom and bureaucracy, the power-crazed bosses and disobedient colleagues, individuals need the security of a job. A century of research has shown that 22 is bad for mental health, leading to depression, anxiety and reduced self-esteem. On average, it has an even greater effect than divorce. But how much work do you need to do? A recent paper by the Centre for Business Research at Cambridge University found that people working reduced working hours or being 23 do not have poorer mental health. What was particularly surprising is how little work was needed to keep people happy. The threshold for good mental health was just one day a week — after that, it seemed to make little difference to individuals’ well-being if they worked eight hours or 48 hours a week. The 24 from working clearly comes from the feeling of purpose, from the social status it creates and from the camaraderie of colleagues engaged in the same tasks. A little bit of work may be 25 , but too much is not. An enterprising junior analyst at Goldman Sachs recently surveyed his 26 . The survey found those first-year analysts had worked an average 98 hours a week since the start of 2021, and only managed five hours of sleep a night. It found that 77% of them had been the subject of 27 , that 75% had sought, or considered seeking counselling, and that, on average, they had suffered sharp declines in mental and physical health. Nevertheless, the general reaction to the story was remarkably 28 . In some people’s eyes, the young analysts should have expected to be 29 in such a fashion; after all, that is why they were being paid so well. The well-experienced analysts of the investment- banking industry thought “It was the same in my day. Never did me any harm.” 30 , it is still hard to see why young analysts should expect to suffer. They joined a bank, not the Mafia. Nor does it make much 31 sense to have employees working so long that they only get to sleep five hours a night. They can hardly be operating 32 when they are dog-tired. That junior professional staff have always worked long hours is not a good explanation for 33 stress on young people at the start of their careers. It smacks of the legendary navy motto: “The beatings will continue until morale improves.” Clearly, economy cannot 34 if everyone works one day a week. The need to limit excessive working hours was realised back in Victorian times. For much of the 20th century the length of the average working week fell while output continued to climb. There will be occasions when people have to work late or rise early to finish a project. Day after day, however, a long-hours lifestyle is bad for workers’ health. Some organizations may see the 35 for work as a sign of an employee’s willingness to put their job ahead of their families and friends. If so, they don’t need to have better employees. They need better managers. 21．A．With B．Despite C．Against D．Like 22．A．unemployment B．divorce C．complaint D．prosecution 23．A．employed B．suspended C．criticized D．motivated 24．A．secrets B．fatigue C．boost D．assignment 25．A．stressful B．helpless C．creative D．satisfying 26．A．peers B．superiors C．relatives D．advocates 27．A．workplace abuse B．racial discrimination C．cyber bullying D．peer pressure 28．A．predictable B．inevitable C．normal D．unsympathetic 29．A．accommodated B．treated C．paid D．fired 30．A．Conversely B．Therefore C．However D．Likewise 31．A．education B．medicine C．fitness D．business 32．A．at full efficiency B．at a loss C．in others’ shoes D．in low spirits 33．A．relieving B．piling C．blaming D．experimenting 34．A．contract B．collapse C．prosper D．recover 35．A．appetite B．gift C．excuse D．strategy Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) “Who says it’s Father’s Day?” my son says to me, with the questioning angry look of someone who’s been told they have extra tax to pay. “Well, the world does,” I tell him, suddenly self-conscious. “It’s a special day for daddies.” Something about this — I can’t think what — comes out sounding quite desperate and he looks at me as if I’ve just suggested he prove his love for me with a face tattoo (文身) . It’s a look of suspicion, but also of tender concern for my mental state. This is his fifth Father’s Day, so I can’t help feeling slightly wounded that the concept hasn’t stuck with him. I also can’t help noting that he has never had any such issue with Mother’s Day, which has always seemed to him like common sense. The event’s nearness to his own birthday two weeks from now — is making things more difficult for him to tolerate. It would seem he finds it impolite that the run-up to his special day should be interrupted so close to the finish line by a day that celebrates me, the lesser of his two parents. In any case, if he’s planning to make or gift me something, this conversation has been a masterstroke of expectation management “So, will all daddies get a Father’s Day?” he asks. “Yes,” I reply, “and this isn’t new — it’s every year!” I attempt to regulate my voice/offence, but also make it very clear I haven’t made this idea up on the spot by myself. “You’ve been doing it since you were born. And it’s been around longer than that. I get things for Granddad every year, too.” At this he stirs himself up. He has never quite stopped being fascinated by the idea that his granddad is my dad, in the same way that I am his. I suppose it’s the same thrill I feel when I see pictures of massive cranes (起重机) being built by other, even bigger cranes. “What do you get him?” he asks. “Well,” I say, “things like CDs or socks — and always a card.” At this he seems inspired. “I’ll do a card!” he says, brightening. “You could buy me something, too...” I begin, but he is no longer listening, running to grab coloured paper and glittery pens. Not wishing to see this tribute to myself a whole week early, I smile and tell him I really shouldn’t be watching and get up to leave him to it. “Yes,” he says, just in time for me to see he’s actually writing “Dear Granddad” on the page. “Don’t tell him!” 36．How does the writer feel when explaining Father’s Day? A．Suspicious. B．Embarrassed. C．Proud. D．Ridiculous. 37．It can be inferred from the son’s response that ________. A．the son feels hurt because the concept escapes him B．the writer looks relieved due to his son’s tender heart C．a face tattoo is the way to prove a son’s love for his father D．the son identifies with Mother’s Day more than Father’s Day 38．The writer mentions Granddad in order to ________. A．justify the annual celebration of Father’s Day B．practise skills of expectation management C．narrow the gap between the three generations D．link Father’s Day to his son’s birthday 39．Which of the following best summarises the passage? A．When celebrating Father’s Day, you should also send a DIY card to your grandpa. B．It is a universally acknowledged fact that Father’s Day is a special day for daddies. C．Father’s Day is a special time to celebrate Dad, but for my son that’s a bit of a stretch. D．My son and father have agreed to keep the Father’s Day greetings card secret from me. (B) Hopping Around the World Hopscotch is a very old game. It usually uses a puck, such as a stone, and a pattern that players hop through. Here are different versions to play. Scotch-Hoppers Children in England and Scotland play this game with a stone or a coin. Throw the stone into Box 1. Hop over Box 1 and through the pattern. On the way back, hop into Box 1, pick up the stone, and hop out. Then, toss the puck into Box 2, and so on. If your stone enters the wrong box, start over! The first player to throw the stone into each box and hop through the whole pattern wins. Escargot Escargot is the French word for “snail.” For this game, the pattern looks like a snail. No puck is used. Players hop through the pattern on one foot. You may rest in the center on both feet. After resting, hop back through the pattern and out. If you finish the pattern without stepping on a line, write your name in a space. No other player may land in that space. At the end, the player who owns the most spaces wins. La Thunkuna Children play this game in Bolivia, a country in South America. The puck is a stone or the peel from an orange. Instead of writing a number in each square, players write each day of the week. Throw the puck into the first box. Hop over it into the second box. Next, kick the puck backwards and out of the pattern. Then, hop out. On your next turn, throw the puck into the next space, and so on. The first player to hop all the way through wins. Gat Fei Gei In this Chinese version of hopscotch, the puck is a piece of roof tile. At the top is the pig’s head. Toss the puck into the pig’s head and hop through the pattern. When you reach boxes 7 and 8, spin around and pick up the puck from behind. If you hop through the pattern without making a mistake, pick a box and write your name in it. No one else can land in that box! The player who owns the most boxes wins. 40．What are the two common things used in hopscotch? A．Coin and pin. B．Box and chair. C．Snail and space. D．Puck and pattern. 41．Which of the following shows the difference of Escargot from other hopscotches? A．It needs more space. B．It doesn’t need a puck. C．It is a snail from France. D．It isn’t a pattern but a line. 42．What is the passage mainly talking about? A．The successful winners in the hopscotch. B．The history and development of hopscotch. C．The rules of different versions of hopscotch. D．The popularity of hopscotch all over the world. (C) A math coach’s plan to beat AI: Be more human The country’s most charismatic math teacher was standing in a middle school on a Friday night with a message for students and their anxious parents about AI and ChatGPT. Po-Shen Loh, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University and Team USA’s coach for the International Mathematical Olympiad(国际数学奥林匹克竞赛) , delivered a talk called “How to Survive the ChatGPT Invasion.” And his simple, practical advice applied to everyone in the hall, “Think about what makes humans human, ” Loh said, “and lean into that as hard as possible.” He says the key to survival is knowing how to solve problems — and knowing which problems to solve. He urges math enthusiasts to focus on creativity, emotion and the stuff that distinguishes man from machine and won’t go obsolete. As artificial intelligence gets smarter, the importance on ingenuity will become greater. This is what he wants to drill into their impressionable (易受影响的) young minds: Being human will only be more important as AI becomes more powerful. It’s not just students who should be paying attention to Po-Shen Loh. The lesson that he’s delivering in schools is useful for any business that might be wondering how it’s going to be warped (使变形) by the existential threat of artificial intelligence. But the people who will inherit the economy reshaped by the AI boom are students today. The tech they’re already using to cheat on their homework will look primitive by the time they’re in college. They belong to the first generation that will have grown up with AI, just as Gen Z came of age with the iPhone and millennials barely remember a time before they were online. These children and teens of the ChatGPT era will have a better intuitive understanding of this disruptive force than adults because they will have never really experienced life without it. After his talk, I asked how his message to a room full of fifth-graders applies to someone in an office, and he replied faster than ChatGPT. “The future of jobs is figuring out how to find pain points” he said. “And a pain point is a human pain.” It’s his theorem (定理) of success. “You need to be able to create value,” he said. “People who make value will always have opportunities.” Loh was aware of the hype around AI, but the first time he was overwhelmed by its potential was March 14, also known as Pi Day, when he started experimenting with the most viral product in Silicon Valley’s history. When OpenAI released its most recent large language model, GPT-4, he paid a 20 monthly fee and gave ChatGPT Plus a tricky math-contest question. ChatGPT calculated the answer and showed its elega work. “This machine is the world’s most powerful tool at repeating things that have been done many times before,” he tells students. “But now I want to show something it cannot do.” Loh then fed ChatGPT a question that it almost certainly hasn’t seen before -and it flubbed the answer. This might sound familiar to anyone who has spent enough time with a chat-bot that has a nasty habit of being confidently wrong: It made up a bunch of nonsense and apologized for its errors. “Let’s dig a little more into this. The role of the GPT is to always say the most obvious next word. But what is invention? What is creativity and innovation? Is it to say the most obvious thing? No, It might be to say a non-obvious thing.” Loh is a big fan of non-obvious things. At a university known for computer science, he teaches with a place of chalk. To improve his public speaking, he spent a year taking improve-comedy classes. He found a pain point, followed his own advice and leveraged his innate advantage over AI: He’s a human. “Is there going to be a great human-versus-robots war? The answer is, unfortunately, yes,” Loh said. “My goal is to make sure the humans win.” 43．Which of the following words is in closest meaning to the underlined word ”obsolete“ (para.2)? A．extinct B．out-of-date C．unnoticed D．downhill 44．What do students today have in common with Gen Z and millennials? A．They are of the same age and will inherit the economy reshaped by AI boom. B．They all use powerful AI tools like ChatGPT to chat on their homework. C．They all grow up with a major and specific technology breakthrough. D．They understand the disruptive force of AI as none of them experienced life without it. 45．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．What makes humans human is our innate advantage against the ever-powerful, ever-smarter AI. B．Feeding ChatGPT a tricky question that appeared in the IMO is one of the so-called” non-obvious things". C．The future of jobs lies in the fact that we must figure out in which part of our body human pain appears. D．IMO contestants are those who have opportunities in the future as they know how to create value. 46．What is Po-Shen Loh’s attitude towards the unavoidable between human and robots? A．Indifferent. B．Suspicious. C．Desperate. D．Confident. Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. In business, there is a speed difference: It’s the difference between how important firm leaders say speed is to their competitive strategy and how fast the company actually moves. The difference is important regardless of industry and company size. 47 In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that choose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track. What’s more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up “improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-year period. 48 They thought differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean. Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operation speed (moving quickly )and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value ).Simply increasing the speed of production, for example ,may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference .But that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services. In our study, higher-performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. They became more open to ideas and discussion. 49 And they allowed time to look back and learn. By contrast, performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didn’t develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about changes. Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership. 50 That kind of strategy must come from the top. A．How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better? B．Teams that regularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore, are more successful in meeting their business goals. C．More haste, less speed, which in the study proves wrong. D．Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed. E．They valued efficiency rather than consideration. F．They encouraged new ways of thinking. III. Summary Writing(共10分) 51．Directions: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Easy Ways to Get More Nutrients A can of soft drink and two large eggs may have a similar number of calories, but the eggs will provide us with protein, vitamins and other nutrients, and satisfy our hunger, while a fizzy drink provides little more than tooth decay and calories. The important concept here is nutrient density. This is the number of nutrients we take in for each calorie consumed. No one would suggest replacing sweet drinks with eggs, but what can we do to increase nutrient density in our diet? “Have you had your five a day?” that’s the message on British supermarket shelves, and it’s asking about fruit and vegetables. Many countries have launched similar campaigns to encourage people to eat more healthily. Fresh, natural produce is usually very dense in nutrients. Eating a wide range of fruits and vegetables is important, so some advice focuses on including different colours of food in our diets. ‘Eating a rainbow’ could be one way to get more nutrients. Other advice recommends that we are more adventurous in what we eat. Cooking food that we haven’t eaten before can lead us to use ingredients that we don’t usually consume. This can give us a wider range of nutrients. It’s not just about fruit and vegetables. Even using different seasoning can offer health benefits. Nutrition academic Hazel Flight highlights that flavourings such as garlic, ginger or turmeric can have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, while also leading people to use less salt. If you’re not feeling that adventurous, then swapping individual food items can be beneficial. Choosing wholegrain bread or rice instead of white bread or rice can increase fibre intake. Unsalted nuts provide more nutrients than snacks such as crisps. So, fresh fruit and vegetables, swapping the worst things, and just a little, bit more adventure could be the secret to a more nutritious diet. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ IV.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. The future is grey An aging world will oblige us to change how we live Much is made of intergenerational conflicts, with baby boomers competing against millennials or Gen Zers. But however these competing needs are resolved today, younger people will become a 1 (prized) resource in the future, because there will be fewer of them. Populations are slowly growing older than ever before due to two seemingly unstoppable demographic (人口的) forces. One is 2 , as countries become more prosperous, there is a decline in the number of children that people have. When that figure drops below the population replacement level of 2.1 children per woman—— 3 it is offset (抵消) by immigration—the head count shrinks as well as becoming more senior-heavy. If this trend continues, 97 percent of countries are forecast 4 (have) birthrates below the replacement level by the year 2100. The other key factor is that people are living longer in nearly every country in the world, a trend 5 has continued for decades. This 6 (drive) by multiple factors over the past century, including improvements in sanitation (公共卫生), the spread of vaccines and antibiotics, and, later on, by better treatments for heart disease and the decline of smoking. The next reshaping of life expectancy curves could come from the widespread use of weight- 7 (reduce) drugs such as Ozempic, or indeed medicines already in wide use today. These ageing populations present many challenges, forcing countries to rethink their systems of pensions, healthcare and so on. The risk is that there will be too few people of working age to help provide care for 8 who are older. But we 9 not necessarily be too pessimistic. Just like in medicine, advances in artificial intelligence and robotics are continuing rapidly. Could the potential demographic crisis be prevented by a workforce of intelligent machines? If so, 10 having to be worried about robots taking our jobs, we might one day welcome them with open arms. Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A．dawn   B．content   C． tracked   D．unconditionally   E. satisfying   F. adorable G. bordered   H. approaches   I. vulnerable   J. hooked   K. alone I was in my mid-20s when I fell into one of the most toxic relationships of my life. I remember buying my first self-help book, which promised I could be healed of anything if only I abandoned my limiting beliefs. I finished reading it in days and even though I was still the same depressed, broke, single mother I had been when I picked up the book, that didn’t matter. I was 11 . Over the next 15 years, I bought hundreds of self-help books, courses and apps, and 12 down every self-styled personal improvement mentors on TikTok and YouTube in the hope that they could teach me how to become happier, more confident and more 13 . But still, nothing worked. Some 14 were gentle and perhaps even obvious: “talk kindly to yourself, get enough sleep”. Others 15 on danger, whether it was encouraging me to spend more money than I could afford in order to “manifest” wealth or telling me to ignore my health problems to feel healthy. Only I never realised the danger at the time. Growing up in an environment of addiction and domestic conflict made me 16 to the industry’s promises of self-improvement. My childhood experiences made it hard for me to know my place and value in the world, or find my people. I believed self-help authors could be the mentors I thought I had always needed but never found. My obsession with self-help had become toxic, and something had to give. It started to 17 on me that instead of helping me, the advice was making me feel worse. It took a deep conversation with a loved one to recognise that when trying to change my life, I was trying to change things that had happened to me and shaped who I was—often things that were out of my control. Instead of focusing on who I wanted to become, I had to quit self-help to learn and accept who I really was. Spending time 18 , often walking, and listening to my thoughts without trying to silence or change them helped. I let myself cry rather than hold in the tears like I always used to do. Since I quit my self-help dependency, I’ve realised that focusing all your energy on improving yourself can really suck the joy out of life. It makes happiness conditional: only when I have got to a certain stage can I feel 19 ; only when I look that way can I be loved. It can also stop you from 20 accepting your imperfectly perfect self. After a long time, I am finally coming round to the idea that perhaps I never needed fixing at all. II.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 21-35每题1分；36-50每题2分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context People’s relationship with work is complex and complicated. 21 complaining about the boredom and bureaucracy, the power-crazed bosses and disobedient colleagues, individuals need the security of a job. A century of research has shown that 22 is bad for mental health, leading to depression, anxiety and reduced self-esteem. On average, it has an even greater effect than divorce. But how much work do you need to do? A recent paper by the Centre for Business Research at Cambridge University found that people working reduced working hours or being 23 do not have poorer mental health. What was particularly surprising is how little work was needed to keep people happy. The threshold for good mental health was just one day a week — after that, it seemed to make little difference to individuals’ well-being if they worked eight hours or 48 hours a week. The 24 from working clearly comes from the feeling of purpose, from the social status it creates and from the camaraderie of colleagues engaged in the same tasks. A little bit of work may be 25 , but too much is not. An enterprising junior analyst at Goldman Sachs recently surveyed his 26 . The survey found those first-year analysts had worked an average 98 hours a week since the start of 2021, and only managed five hours of sleep a night. It found that 77% of them had been the subject of 27 , that 75% had sought, or considered seeking counselling, and that, on average, they had suffered sharp declines in mental and physical health. Nevertheless, the general reaction to the story was remarkably 28 . In some people’s eyes, the young analysts should have expected to be 29 in such a fashion; after all, that is why they were being paid so well. The well-experienced analysts of the investment- banking industry thought “It was the same in my day. Never did me any harm.” 30 , it is still hard to see why young analysts should expect to suffer. They joined a bank, not the Mafia. Nor does it make much 31 sense to have employees working so long that they only get to sleep five hours a night. They can hardly be operating 32 when they are dog-tired. That junior professional staff have always worked long hours is not a good explanation for 33 stress on young people at the start of their careers. It smacks of the legendary navy motto: “The beatings will continue until morale improves.” Clearly, economy cannot 34 if everyone works one day a week. The need to limit excessive working hours was realised back in Victorian times. For much of the 20th century the length of the average working week fell while output continued to climb. There will be occasions when people have to work late or rise early to finish a project. Day after day, however, a long-hours lifestyle is bad for workers’ health. Some organizations may see the 35 for work as a sign of an employee’s willingness to put their job ahead of their families and friends. If so, they don’t need to have better employees. They need better managers. 21．A．With B．Despite C．Against D．Like 22．A．unemployment B．divorce C．complaint D．prosecution 23．A．employed B．suspended C．criticized D．motivated 24．A．secrets B．fatigue C．boost D．assignment 25．A．stressful B．helpless C．creative D．satisfying 26．A．peers B．superiors C．relatives D．advocates 27．A．workplace abuse B．racial discrimination C．cyber bullying D．peer pressure 28．A．predictable B．inevitable C．normal D．unsympathetic 29．A．accommodated B．treated C．paid D．fired 30．A．Conversely B．Therefore C．However D．Likewise 31．A．education B．medicine C．fitness D．business 32．A．at full efficiency B．at a loss C．in others’ shoes D．in low spirits 33．A．relieving B．piling C．blaming D．experimenting 34．A．contract B．collapse C．prosper D．recover 35．A．appetite B．gift C．excuse D．strategy Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) “Who says it’s Father’s Day?” my son says to me, with the questioning angry look of someone who’s been told they have extra tax to pay. “Well, the world does,” I tell him, suddenly self-conscious. “It’s a special day for daddies.” Something about this — I can’t think what — comes out sounding quite desperate and he looks at me as if I’ve just suggested he prove his love for me with a face tattoo (文身) . It’s a look of suspicion, but also of tender concern for my mental state. This is his fifth Father’s Day, so I can’t help feeling slightly wounded that the concept hasn’t stuck with him. I also can’t help noting that he has never had any such issue with Mother’s Day, which has always seemed to him like common sense. The event’s nearness to his own birthday two weeks from now — is making things more difficult for him to tolerate. It would seem he finds it impolite that the run-up to his special day should be interrupted so close to the finish line by a day that celebrates me, the lesser of his two parents. In any case, if he’s planning to make or gift me something, this conversation has been a masterstroke of expectation management “So, will all daddies get a Father’s Day?” he asks. “Yes,” I reply, “and this isn’t new — it’s every year!” I attempt to regulate my voice/offence, but also make it very clear I haven’t made this idea up on the spot by myself. “You’ve been doing it since you were born. And it’s been around longer than that. I get things for Granddad every year, too.” At this he stirs himself up. He has never quite stopped being fascinated by the idea that his granddad is my dad, in the same way that I am his. I suppose it’s the same thrill I feel when I see pictures of massive cranes (起重机) being built by other, even bigger cranes. “What do you get him?” he asks. “Well,” I say, “things like CDs or socks — and always a card.” At this he seems inspired. “I’ll do a card!” he says, brightening. “You could buy me something, too...” I begin, but he is no longer listening, running to grab coloured paper and glittery pens. Not wishing to see this tribute to myself a whole week early, I smile and tell him I really shouldn’t be watching and get up to leave him to it. “Yes,” he says, just in time for me to see he’s actually writing “Dear Granddad” on the page. “Don’t tell him!” 36．How does the writer feel when explaining Father’s Day? A．Suspicious. B．Embarrassed. C．Proud. D．Ridiculous. 37．It can be inferred from the son’s response that ________. A．the son feels hurt because the concept escapes him B．the writer looks relieved due to his son’s tender heart C．a face tattoo is the way to prove a son’s love for his father D．the son identifies with Mother’s Day more than Father’s Day 38．The writer mentions Granddad in order to ________. A．justify the annual celebration of Father’s Day B．practise skills of expectation management C．narrow the gap between the three generations D．link Father’s Day to his son’s birthday 39．Which of the following best summarises the passage? A．When celebrating Father’s Day, you should also send a DIY card to your grandpa. B．It is a universally acknowledged fact that Father’s Day is a special day for daddies. C．Father’s Day is a special time to celebrate Dad, but for my son that’s a bit of a stretch. D．My son and father have agreed to keep the Father’s Day greetings card secret from me. (B) Hopping Around the World Hopscotch is a very old game. It usually uses a puck, such as a stone, and a pattern that players hop through. Here are different versions to play. Scotch-Hoppers Children in England and Scotland play this game with a stone or a coin. Throw the stone into Box 1. Hop over Box 1 and through the pattern. On the way back, hop into Box 1, pick up the stone, and hop out. Then, toss the puck into Box 2, and so on. If your stone enters the wrong box, start over! The first player to throw the stone into each box and hop through the whole pattern wins. Escargot Escargot is the French word for “snail.” For this game, the pattern looks like a snail. No puck is used. Players hop through the pattern on one foot. You may rest in the center on both feet. After resting, hop back through the pattern and out. If you finish the pattern without stepping on a line, write your name in a space. No other player may land in that space. At the end, the player who owns the most spaces wins. La Thunkuna Children play this game in Bolivia, a country in South America. The puck is a stone or the peel from an orange. Instead of writing a number in each square, players write each day of the week. Throw the puck into the first box. Hop over it into the second box. Next, kick the puck backwards and out of the pattern. Then, hop out. On your next turn, throw the puck into the next space, and so on. The first player to hop all the way through wins. Gat Fei Gei In this Chinese version of hopscotch, the puck is a piece of roof tile. At the top is the pig’s head. Toss the puck into the pig’s head and hop through the pattern. When you reach boxes 7 and 8, spin around and pick up the puck from behind. If you hop through the pattern without making a mistake, pick a box and write your name in it. No one else can land in that box! The player who owns the most boxes wins. 40．What are the two common things used in hopscotch? A．Coin and pin. B．Box and chair. C．Snail and space. D．Puck and pattern. 41．Which of the following shows the difference of Escargot from other hopscotches? A．It needs more space. B．It doesn’t need a puck. C．It is a snail from France. D．It isn’t a pattern but a line. 42．What is the passage mainly talking about? A．The successful winners in the hopscotch. B．The history and development of hopscotch. C．The rules of different versions of hopscotch. D．The popularity of hopscotch all over the world. (C) A math coach’s plan to beat AI: Be more human The country’s most charismatic math teacher was standing in a middle school on a Friday night with a message for students and their anxious parents about AI and ChatGPT. Po-Shen Loh, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University and Team USA’s coach for the International Mathematical Olympiad(国际数学奥林匹克竞赛) , delivered a talk called “How to Survive the ChatGPT Invasion.” And his simple, practical advice applied to everyone in the hall, “Think about what makes humans human, ” Loh said, “and lean into that as hard as possible.” He says the key to survival is knowing how to solve problems — and knowing which problems to solve. He urges math enthusiasts to focus on creativity, emotion and the stuff that distinguishes man from machine and won’t go obsolete. As artificial intelligence gets smarter, the importance on ingenuity will become greater. This is what he wants to drill into their impressionable (易受影响的) young minds: Being human will only be more important as AI becomes more powerful. It’s not just students who should be paying attention to Po-Shen Loh. The lesson that he’s delivering in schools is useful for any business that might be wondering how it’s going to be warped (使变形) by the existential threat of artificial intelligence. But the people who will inherit the economy reshaped by the AI boom are students today. The tech they’re already using to cheat on their homework will look primitive by the time they’re in college. They belong to the first generation that will have grown up with AI, just as Gen Z came of age with the iPhone and millennials barely remember a time before they were online. These children and teens of the ChatGPT era will have a better intuitive understanding of this disruptive force than adults because they will have never really experienced life without it. After his talk, I asked how his message to a room full of fifth-graders applies to someone in an office, and he replied faster than ChatGPT. “The future of jobs is figuring out how to find pain points” he said. “And a pain point is a human pain.” It’s his theorem (定理) of success. “You need to be able to create value,” he said. “People who make value will always have opportunities.” Loh was aware of the hype around AI, but the first time he was overwhelmed by its potential was March 14, also known as Pi Day, when he started experimenting with the most viral product in Silicon Valley’s history. When OpenAI released its most recent large language model, GPT-4, he paid a 20 monthly fee and gave ChatGPT Plus a tricky math-contest question. ChatGPT calculated the answer and showed its elega work. “This machine is the world’s most powerful tool at repeating things that have been done many times before,” he tells students. “But now I want to show something it cannot do.” Loh then fed ChatGPT a question that it almost certainly hasn’t seen before -and it flubbed the answer. This might sound familiar to anyone who has spent enough time with a chat-bot that has a nasty habit of being confidently wrong: It made up a bunch of nonsense and apologized for its errors. “Let’s dig a little more into this. The role of the GPT is to always say the most obvious next word. But what is invention? What is creativity and innovation? Is it to say the most obvious thing? No, It might be to say a non-obvious thing.” Loh is a big fan of non-obvious things. At a university known for computer science, he teaches with a place of chalk. To improve his public speaking, he spent a year taking improve-comedy classes. He found a pain point, followed his own advice and leveraged his innate advantage over AI: He’s a human. “Is there going to be a great human-versus-robots war? The answer is, unfortunately, yes,” Loh said. “My goal is to make sure the humans win.” 43．Which of the following words is in closest meaning to the underlined word ”obsolete“ (para.2)? A．extinct B．out-of-date C．unnoticed D．downhill 44．What do students today have in common with Gen Z and millennials? A．They are of the same age and will inherit the economy reshaped by AI boom. B．They all use powerful AI tools like ChatGPT to chat on their homework. C．They all grow up with a major and specific technology breakthrough. D．They understand the disruptive force of AI as none of them experienced life without it. 45．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．What makes humans human is our innate advantage against the ever-powerful, ever-smarter AI. B．Feeding ChatGPT a tricky question that appeared in the IMO is one of the so-called” non-obvious things". C．The future of jobs lies in the fact that we must figure out in which part of our body human pain appears. D．IMO contestants are those who have opportunities in the future as they know how to create value. 46．What is Po-Shen Loh’s attitude towards the unavoidable between human and robots? A．Indifferent. B．Suspicious. C．Desperate. D．Confident. Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. In business, there is a speed difference: It’s the difference between how important firm leaders say speed is to their competitive strategy and how fast the company actually moves. The difference is important regardless of industry and company size. 47 In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that choose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track. What’s more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up “improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-year period. 48 They thought differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean. Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operation speed (moving quickly )and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value ).Simply increasing the speed of production, for example ,may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference .But that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services. In our study, higher-performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. They became more open to ideas and discussion. 49 And they allowed time to look back and learn. By contrast, performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didn’t develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking about changes. Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership. 50 That kind of strategy must come from the top. A．How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better? B．Teams that regularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore, are more successful in meeting their business goals. C．More haste, less speed, which in the study proves wrong. D．Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed. E．They valued efficiency rather than consideration. F．They encouraged new ways of thinking. III. Summary Writing(共10分) 51．Directions: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Easy Ways to Get More Nutrients A can of soft drink and two large eggs may have a similar number of calories, but the eggs will provide us with protein, vitamins and other nutrients, and satisfy our hunger, while a fizzy drink provides little more than tooth decay and calories. The important concept here is nutrient density. This is the number of nutrients we take in for each calorie consumed. No one would suggest replacing sweet drinks with eggs, but what can we do to increase nutrient density in our diet? “Have you had your five a day?” that’s the message on British supermarket shelves, and it’s asking about fruit and vegetables. Many countries have launched similar campaigns to encourage people to eat more healthily. Fresh, natural produce is usually very dense in nutrients. Eating a wide range of fruits and vegetables is important, so some advice focuses on including different colours of food in our diets. ‘Eating a rainbow’ could be one way to get more nutrients. Other advice recommends that we are more adventurous in what we eat. Cooking food that we haven’t eaten before can lead us to use ingredients that we don’t usually consume. This can give us a wider range of nutrients. It’s not just about fruit and vegetables. Even using different seasoning can offer health benefits. Nutrition academic Hazel Flight highlights that flavourings such as garlic, ginger or turmeric can have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, while also leading people to use less salt. If you’re not feeling that adventurous, then swapping individual food items can be beneficial. Choosing wholegrain bread or rice instead of white bread or rice can increase fibre intake. Unsalted nuts provide more nutrients than snacks such as crisps. So, fresh fruit and vegetables, swapping the worst things, and just a little, bit more adventure could be the secret to a more nutritious diet. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ IV.
