One of my earliest memories is standing without shoes in the freshly tilled (翻耕的) soil, my hands blackened from digging in the ground. As a child, I loved following Dad around in the garden. I remember Dad pushing the tiller ahead in perfectly straight lines. Dad loved growing all sorts of things: yellow and green onions, watermelons almost as big as me, rows of yellow corn, and our favorite-red tomatoes. As I grew into a teenager, I didn’t get so excited about gardening with Dad. Instead of the magical land of possibility, it had turned into some kind of prison. However, as Dad grew older, his love for gardening never disappeared. After all the kids were grown and had started families of their own, Dad turned to gardening like never before. Even when he had cancer, he still took care of his garden. But then, the cancer, bit by bit, invaded (入侵) his body. I had to do the things he used to do. What really convinced me that Dad was dying was the state of his garden that year. The rows and rows of colorful vegetables were gone. Too tired to weed (除草) them, he simply let them be. He only planted tomatoes. A few years later, I couldn’t even bear to look at anyone’s garden without having strong memories pour over me like cold water from a bucket. Last year, I decided to plant my own garden and started out with just a few tomatoes. That morning, after breaking up an amount of soil, something caught the corner of my eye and I had to smile. It was my eight-year-old son Nathan, happily playing in the freshly tilled soil. 24. Why did the author like the garden when he was a child? A. The garden was freshly tilled by the worker. B. He loved what his mother grew in the garden. C. The garden was planted with colorful flowers. D. He enjoyed being in the garden with his father. 25. When all the kids started their own families, the author’s father ______. A. stopped his gardening B. spent more time on gardening C. turned to other hobbies D. focused on planting tomatoes 26. What can be learned about the garden when the author’s father was seriously ill? A. The garden was almost deserted. B. The author’s son took charge of it. C. No plants grew in the garden at all. D. It brought the author a great harvest. 27 What is the best title for the text? A. The Changing Seasons of Life B. The Magic of Freshly Tilled Soil C. Gardening through Generations D. A Teenager’s Love for Gardening 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了父亲是一个园艺爱好者，小时候作者喜欢给跟在父亲身后玩耍，随着年龄的增大，作者不再喜欢跟在父亲身后，但父亲对园艺的热爱依然有增无减。父亲去世后，作者甚至不敢看到花园，终于有一天作者决定开辟自己的花园，而自己的儿子就跟在身后，这一切似曾相识。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“One of my earliest memories is standing without shoes in the freshly tilled (翻耕的) soil, my hands blackened from digging in the ground.(我最早的记忆之一是光着脚站在新开垦的土地上，双手因挖掘而发黑)”和第二段“As a child, I loved following Dad around in the garden.(小时候，我喜欢跟着爸爸在花园里转)”可知，父亲在地里劳作的时候，作者很喜欢在地里玩耍。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“After all the kids were grown and had started families of their own, Dad turned to gardening like never before. Even when he had cancer, he still took care of his garden.(当所有的孩子都长大成人，组建了自己的家庭后，爸爸开始以前所未有的方式从事园艺工作。即使他得了癌症，他仍然照顾他的花园)”可知，当所有的孩子都组建了自己的家庭后，作者的父亲花了更多的时间在园艺上。故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The rows and rows of colorful vegetables were gone. Too tired to weed (除草) them, he simply let them be. He only planted tomatoes.(一排排五颜六色的蔬菜不见了。他太累了，不想去除草，就随它们去吧。他只种西红柿)”可知，当作者的父亲病重时，花园几乎被完全放弃了。故选A。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“As a child, I loved following Dad around in the garden.(小时候，我喜欢跟着爸爸在花园里转)”以及最后一段“It was my eight-year-old son Nathan, happily playing in the freshly tilled soil.(那是我八岁的儿子内森，他正在新开垦的土地上快乐地玩耍)”结合文章讲述了父亲是一个园艺爱好者，小时候作者喜欢给跟在父亲身后玩耍，随着年龄的增大，作者不再喜欢跟在父亲身后，但父亲对园艺的热爱依然有增无减。父亲去世后，作者甚至不敢看到花园，终于有一天作者决定开辟自己的花园，而自己的儿子就跟在身后，这一切似曾相识。可知，C选项“代代相传的园艺之爱”最符合文章标题。故选C。 C When Diane Gayeski, a professor at Ithaca College, receives an essay from one of her students, she runs part of it through a computer program. It is an AI tool to suggest how to improve the work. She shows her students the results and how the tool rewrote their essay. She also asks her students to do the same: run their draft through the program to see where they can make improvements. AI is reshaping education. Both teachers and students are using the new technology. It’s reported that half of college students used AI tools in Fall 2023. At the same time, while fewer teachers used AI, the percentage grew to 22% in the fall of 2023. It is up from 9% in spring 2023. But while some schools have formed policies on how students can or can’t use AI for schoolwork, many do not have guidelines for teachers. The practice of using AI by teachers also raises moral problems. And parents and students who are already spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on college are wondering if it is worth the time and money. AI would allow teachers to grade papers more effectively and consistently. It can process and grade papers much faster than a human, allowing for quicker feedback(反馈) and avoiding human emotions. But Leidner, a professor at the University of Virginia noted when it came to smaller classes or assignments with less definitive answers, grading should be done by teachers to get to know more about a student’s work. She also said it would not be right to upload the material into the AI. The students need to be aware of this in advance. Some schools are actively working on policies for both teachers and students. Nicolas Frank, a professor of philosophy at University of Lynchburg worries it’s too early. He is also concerned that some school leaders may oversimplify the problems with AI use. Leidner, meanwhile, said universities must also be open to “regularly checking and reconsidering as the technology and uses develop.” 28. What do the numbers in the second paragraph indicate? A. AI is developing fast in colleges. B. AI is overused by college students and teachers. C. AI has been used by more and more college students and teachers. D. AI has caused many problems between college students and teachers. 29. What potential problem has AI used in college brought? A. Economic crisis. B. Moral concerns. C. Emotional problems. D. Interpersonal problems. 30. What does the underlined word “consistently” in the fourth paragraph mean? A. Reliably. B. Economically. C. Creatively. D. Correctly. 31. Which of the following may Leidner agree? A. University leaders should simplify the problems with AI use. B. Universities should work out policies for AI use immediately. C. Universities should encourage students and teachers to use AI. D. Universities should evaluate AI use at regular times as it advances. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章讲述了AI在大学中运用越来越多，但是同时也带来了一些问题，大学需要制定相关使用AI的政策。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“AI is reshaping education. Both teachers and students are using the new technology. It’s reported that half of college students used AI tools in Fall, 2023. At the same time, while fewer teachers used AI, the percentage grew to 22% in the fall of 2023. It is up from 9% in spring 2023. (人工智能正在重塑教育。老师和学生都在使用这种新技术。据报道，2023年秋季，一半的大学生使用人工智能工具。与此同时，虽然使用人工智能的教师减少了，但这一比例在2023年秋季增长到了22%。这一比例高于2023年春季的9%。)”可知，人工智能在大学中使用的速度在加快。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The practice of using AI by teachers also raises moral problems. (教师使用人工智能的做法也引发了道德问题。)”可知，运用人工智能可能带来道德问题。故选B。 【30题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第三段“It can process and grade papers much faster than a human, allowing for quicker feedback(反馈) and avoiding human emotions. (它可以比人类更快地处理和评分论文，允许更快的反馈，避免人类的情绪)”可知，人工智能能够更有效，更可靠地评定学生的成绩。选项A. reliably意为“可靠地”与画线词的意思相近。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“ Leidner, meanwhile, said universities must also be open to ‘regularly checking and reconsidering as the technology and uses develop.’ (与此同时，Leidner表示，随着技术和用途的发展，大学也必须“定期检查和重新考虑”。)”可推知，Leidner认为随着人工智能的发展，大学应该定期评估人工智能的使用情况。故选D。 D Cheese and red wine are basic diets over the festive period, and if you love red wine and cheese, a new study will come as music to your ears. Researchers from Iowa State University have found that drinking red wine and eating cheese can help to reduce cognitive (认知的) decline. In the study, the researchers analyzed data from 1,787 adults aged 46 to 77, and asked them to complete questionnaires about their food and alcohol consumption (摄取). The results showed that cheese was the most protective food against age-related cognitive problems, even into late life. Daily consumption of red wine was also shown to improve cognitive function, while weekly consumption of lamb was shown to improve long-term cognitive skills. However, over-consumption of salt was found to increase the risk of cognitive decline. Dr. Auriel Willette, who led the study, said: “I was pleasantly surprised that our results suggest that appropriately (合适地) eating cheese and drinking red wine daily are not just good for helping us cope with some diseases, but perhaps also dealing with an increasingly complex world. Although we considered whether this was just due to what rich people eat and drink, clinical trials (临床试验) at random are needed to determine if making easy changes in our diet could help our brains in great ways.” While the reason for the link remains unclear, the researchers believe that cheese and red wine may protect some people from the effects of Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默病). Brandon Klinedinst, an author of the study, added: “Depending on the genetic factors you carry, some individuals seem to be more protected from the effects of Alzheimer’s, while others seem to beat greater risk. Perhaps the silver bullet we’re looking for is improving how we eat. Knowing what that involves contributes to a better understanding of Alzheimer’s and putting this disease in an opposite path.” 32. Which of the following increases the risk of cognitive problems? A. Taking in too much salt. B. Eating cheese properly. C. Drinking red wine daily. D. Consuming lamb weekly. 33. What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A. Changes in our diet help our brains in significant ways. B. The diets of wealthy people were not taken into consideration. C. The study results need to be proved by more clinical trials. D. Some diseases make our world increasingly complex. 34. What does Brandon Klinedinst suggest on fighting Alzheimer’s disease? A. Developing advanced genetic treatments. B. Focusing on improving dietary habits. C. Increasing clinical trials for new drugs. D. Studying the diets of wealthy populations. 35. What is the study mainly about? A. Basic diets over the festive period. B. Possible reasons for cognitive decline. C. Feelings of pleasant music to people’s ears. D. Effects of certain diets on cognitive decline. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。一项最新研究表明，喝红酒和吃奶酪有助于减少认知能力下降。文章介绍了这项研究具体的展开过程以及发现，研究人员认为，奶酪和红酒可能会保护一些人免受阿尔茨海默氏症的影响。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, over-consumption of salt was found to increase the risk of cognitive decline.(然而，过量摄入盐会增加认知能力下降的风险)”可知，摄入太多盐会增加患认知问题的风险。故选A。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Although we considered whether this was just due to what rich people eat and drink, clinical trials (临床试验) at random are needed to determine if making easy changes in our diet could help our brains in great ways.(尽管我们考虑过这是否仅仅是因为富人的饮食，但需要随机进行临床试验，以确定在饮食上做出简单的改变是否能以很大的方式帮助我们的大脑。)”可推知，研究结果需要更多的临床试验来证明。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Perhaps the silver bullet we’re looking for is improving how we eat.(也许我们正在寻找的灵丹妙药是改善我们的饮食方式)”可知，Brandon Klinedinst认为我们正在寻找针对阿尔茨海默病的最简单的解决方案就是改善我们的饮食习惯。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Researchers from Iowa State University have found that drinking red wine and eating cheese can help to reduce cognitive (认知的) decline.(爱荷华州立大学的研究人员发现，喝红酒和吃奶酪有助于减少认知能力下降)”以及第二段“In the study, the researchers analyzed data from 1,787 adults aged 46 to 77, and asked them to complete questionnaires about their food and alcohol consumption (摄取). The results showed that cheese was the most protective food against age-related cognitive problems, even into late life. Daily consumption of red wine was also shown to improve cognitive function, while weekly consumption of lamb was shown to improve long-term cognitive skills. However, over-consumption of salt was found to increase the risk of cognitive decline.(在这项研究中，研究人员分析了1787名年龄在46岁至77岁之间的成年人的数据，并要求他们完成有关饮食和酒精消费的调查问卷。结果表明，奶酪是预防与年龄有关的认知问题的最有效的食物，即使到了晚年也是如此。每天喝红酒也被证明可以改善认知功能，而每周吃羊肉被证明可以提高长期的认知能力。然而，过量食用盐会增加认知能力下降的风险)”可知，这项研究的主要内容是研究某些饮食对认知能力下降的影响。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) Building positive relationships with others is important for personal growth.

A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍一些有效的方法来改善你的互动，从而建立更牢固的联系。 【36题详解】 由上文“Practice active listening.(练习积极倾听)”下文“It also means understanding and responding (回应) thoughtfully. When someone speaks, focus on their message and pay close attention to it. Show that you are interested in the conversation by nodding, keeping eye contact, and asking questions. These make them feel valued.(这也意味着要深思熟虑地理解和回应。当有人说话时，专注于他们的信息并密切关注。通过点头、保持眼神交流和提问来表明你对对话感兴趣。这让他们感到被重视。)”可知，这里讲要认真听别人说话。而D项“Listening is more than just hearing words(倾听不仅仅只是听说的话)”符合语境，选项中Listening与上文对应，more than just hearing words与下文例举的其它建议事项对应。所以本句有承上启下作用。故选D项。 【37题详解】 由上文“Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. When a friend or coworker expresses sadness or joy, don’t offer help right away.

Notably/Especially, special occasions like birthdays or festivals offer golden opportunities to demonstrate care through thoughtful gestures.

One of my earliest memories is standing without shoes in the freshly tilled (翻耕的) soil, my hands blackened from digging in the ground. As a child, I loved following Dad around in the garden. I remember Dad pushing the tiller ahead in perfectly straight lines. Dad loved growing all sorts of things: yellow and green onions, watermelons almost as big as me, rows of yellow corn, and our favorite-red tomatoes. As I grew into a teenager, I didn’t get so excited about gardening with Dad. Instead of the magical land of possibility, it had turned into some kind of prison. However, as Dad grew older, his love for gardening never disappeared. After all the kids were grown and had started families of their own, Dad turned to gardening like never before. Even when he had cancer, he still took care of his garden. But then, the cancer, bit by bit, invaded (入侵) his body. I had to do the things he used to do. What really convinced me that Dad was dying was the state of his garden that year. The rows and rows of colorful vegetables were gone. Too tired to weed (除草) them, he simply let them be. He only planted tomatoes. A few years later, I couldn’t even bear to look at anyone’s garden without having strong memories pour over me like cold water from a bucket. Last year, I decided to plant my own garden and started out with just a few tomatoes. That morning, after breaking up an amount of soil, something caught the corner of my eye and I had to smile. It was my eight-year-old son Nathan, happily playing in the freshly tilled soil. 24. Why did the author like the garden when he was a child? A. The garden was freshly tilled by the worker. B. He loved what his mother grew in the garden. C. The garden was planted with colorful flowers. D. He enjoyed being in the garden with his father. 25. When all the kids started their own families, the author’s father ______. A. stopped his gardening B. spent more time on gardening C. turned to other hobbies D. focused on planting tomatoes 26. What can be learned about the garden when the author’s father was seriously ill? A. The garden was almost deserted. B. The author’s son took charge of it. C. No plants grew in the garden at all. D. It brought the author a great harvest. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. The Changing Seasons of Life B. The Magic of Freshly Tilled Soil C. Gardening through Generations D. A Teenager’s Love for Gardening C When Diane Gayeski, a professor at Ithaca College, receives an essay from one of her students, she runs part of it through a computer program. It is an AI tool to suggest how to improve the work. She shows her students the results and how the tool rewrote their essay. She also asks her students to do the same: run their draft through the program to see where they can make improvements. AI is reshaping education. Both teachers and students are using the new technology. It’s reported that half of college students used AI tools in Fall, 2023. At the same time, while fewer teachers used AI, the percentage grew to 22% in the fall of 2023. It is up from 9% in spring 2023. But while some schools have formed policies on how students can or can’t use AI for schoolwork, many do not have guidelines for teachers. The practice of using AI by teachers also raises moral problems. And parents and students who are already spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on college are wondering if it is worth the time and money. AI would allow teachers to grade papers more effectively and consistently. It can process and grade papers much faster than a human, allowing for quicker feedback(反馈) and avoiding human emotions. But Leidner, a professor at the University of Virginia noted when it came to smaller classes or assignments with less definitive answers, grading should be done by teachers to get to know more about a student’s work. She also said it would not be right to upload the material into the AI. The students need to be aware of this in advance. Some schools are actively working on policies for both teachers and students. Nicolas Frank, a professor of philosophy at University of Lynchburg worries it’s too early. He is also concerned that some school leaders may oversimplify the problems with AI use. Leidner, meanwhile, said universities must also be open to “regularly checking and reconsidering as the technology and uses develop.” 28. What do the numbers in the second paragraph indicate? A. AI is developing fast in colleges. B. AI is overused by college students and teachers. C. AI has been used by more and more college students and teachers. D. AI has caused many problems between college students and teachers. 29. What potential problem has AI used in college brought? A. Economic crisis. B. Moral concerns. C. Emotional problems. D. Interpersonal problems. 30. What does the underlined word “consistently” in the fourth paragraph mean? A. Reliably. B. Economically. C. Creatively. D. Correctly. 31. Which of the following may Leidner agree? A. University leaders should simplify the problems with AI use. B. Universities should work out policies for AI use immediately. C. Universities should encourage students and teachers to use AI. D. Universities should evaluate AI use at regular times as it advances. D Cheese and red wine are basic diets over the festive period, and if you love red wine and cheese, a new study will come as music to your ears. Researchers from Iowa State University have found that drinking red wine and eating cheese can help to reduce cognitive (认知的) decline. In the study, the researchers analyzed data from 1,787 adults aged 46 to 77, and asked them to complete questionnaires about their food and alcohol consumption (摄取). The results showed that cheese was the most protective food against age-related cognitive problems, even into late life. Daily consumption of red wine was also shown to improve cognitive function, while weekly consumption of lamb was shown to improve long-term cognitive skills. However, over-consumption of salt was found to increase the risk of cognitive decline. Dr. Auriel Willette, who led the study, said: “I was pleasantly surprised that our results suggest that appropriately (合适地) eating cheese and drinking red wine daily are not just good for helping us cope with some diseases, but perhaps also dealing with an increasingly complex world. Although we considered whether this was just due to what rich people eat and drink, clinical trials (临床试验) at random are needed to determine if making easy changes in our diet could help our brains in great ways.” While the reason for the link remains unclear, the researchers believe that cheese and red wine may protect some people from the effects of Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默病). Brandon Klinedinst, an author of the study, added: “Depending on the genetic factors you carry, some individuals seem to be more protected from the effects of Alzheimer’s, while others seem to beat greater risk. Perhaps the silver bullet we’re looking for is improving how we eat. Knowing what that involves contributes to a better understanding of Alzheimer’s and putting this disease in an opposite path.” 32. Which of the following increases the risk of cognitive problems? A. Taking in too much salt. B. Eating cheese properly. C. Drinking red wine daily. D. Consuming lamb weekly. 33. What can be inferred from paragraph 3? A. Changes in our diet help our brains in significant ways. B. The diets of wealthy people were not taken into consideration. C. The study results need to be proved by more clinical trials. D. Some diseases make our world increasingly complex. 34. What does Brandon Klinedinst suggest on fighting Alzheimer’s disease? A Developing advanced genetic treatments. B. Focusing on improving dietary habits. C. Increasing clinical trials for new drugs. D. Studying the diets of wealthy populations. 35. What is the study mainly about? A. Basic diets over the festive period. B. Possible reasons for cognitive decline. C. Feelings of pleasant music to people’s ears. D. Effects of certain diets on cognitive decline. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) Building positive relationships with others is important for personal growth.
