You will see coins and banknotes from over the ages, including the first Scottish banknote printed in 1727. There are also interesting interactive displays and you can even try your hand at opening a safe!The Writers’ Museum It is housed in the beautiful Lady Stair’s House, a category A listed building. The collection celebrates the legacy of Scotland’s literary contributions, with special emphasis given to Sir Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson and Robert Burns. The museum is home to numerous paintings, books and manuscripts (手稿), and you can also see Burns’ writing desk and Scott’s chess set.Our Dynamic Earth It celebrates the beauty of the earth via technology. Interactive exhibits allow visitors to experience earthquakes, the ocean floor, ice ages and mountains by the use of computer software. Particularly interesting is the “tour” around the eleven Earthscapes. It is educational fun for the whole family and can serve as a good introduction to concepts surrounding the formation of the planet and the creatures we share the earth with.National Museum of Scotland The diverse collections here include the history of Scotland with exhibitions of international interest. The natural world, science and technology, discoveries, art, and world cultures are all explored. There are interactive elements and activities to suit children of all ages, including science experiments and musical instruments. 21．Which might be the most attractive to finance majors? A．Our Dynamic Earth. B．The Writers’ Museum. C．Museum on the Mound. D．National Museum of Scotland. 22．What can you do at Our Dynamic Earth? A．Play with your family. B．Tour the world virtually. C．Design computer software. D．Learn about ancient creatures. 23．What do The Writers’ Museum and National Museum of Scotland have in common? A．They have interactive exhibits. B．They showcase world cultures. C．They provide hands-on activities. D．They have an artistic atmosphere. B I had a great time with the film Turning Red, which follows Meilin, a thirteen-year-old girl who suddenly begins turning into a giant red panda. The film was set in 2002 when I would’ve been around Meilin’s age. It was a joy for me to watch a film that I could relate to. The film illustrates the push-pull that many immigrant families face: how much of their culture to keep and how much to assimilate(融入). There are beautiful traces of Chinese culture throughout this film, including gorgeous food, time around the table, relationships with extended family, and more. In the film, women in Meilin’s family suffer a curse(诅咒). As soon as they begin to blossom into womanhood, they transform into a giant red panda whenever they express any strong emotion. Thus, they have learned that emotional repression is the way to go. It was beautiful to watch this young girl choose the different path of emotional wellness instead of holding back her feelings. It’s not a surprise that the director Domee Shi, who is around my age, chose this plotline. Many people my age are on that similar path Meilin finds herself on. We honor our parents and what they have done for us, but we’re also choosing to be more emotionally healthy and trying to live differently than we were taught. The part of Turning Red I particularly loved is the ending. Though Meilin’s mom, grandma, and aunts see that it’s possible to integrate their red pandas into their lives, they don’t choose that path. Instead, they choose to bottle their pandas up once again. However, they do get a new perspective on this young, groundbreaking girl. It’s such a sweet reminder that not everyone can go on the same journey toward emotional health, and that’s okay. If all of them had embraced their pandas, I think the ending would’ve felt incredibly cheese and taken away some of the power of the story. So we get a conclusion that is satisfying and heart-warming without being too much of a fairy tale. 24．Why did the author enjoy watching Turning Red? A．She found a connection with the story. B．She followed a life path similar to its director. C．She adored the appealing design of the red panda. D．She valued its emphasis on the beautiful Chinese culture. 25．What does the underlined word “repression” in the third paragraph mean? A．Disturbance. B．Control. C．Wellness. D．Expression. 26．What does the author think of the ending of the film? A．Bittersweet. B．Idealized. C．Realistic. D．Cheesy. 27．What is the central dilemma faced by Meilin in Turning Red? A．“Can I embrace my true self?” B．“Should I prioritize my family?” C．“Can I uncover the curse’s secret?” D．“Should I explore diverse cultures?” C Yes, having a big name in science will help get your paper published, a new study confirms. Involving hundreds of researchers reviewing an economics paper, the study found that reviewers were more likely to recommend acceptance when the paper was associated with a famous author compared to a lesser-known one. The Matthew effect, a term coined in 1968 to describe this prejudice, has been a topic of concern among scientists for years. However, previous efforts to document this prejudice had limitations such as small sample sizes or lack of randomization. To address these issues, a team from the University of Innsbruck conducted an extensive study. The team sent emails to about 3,300 researchers, inviting them to review an economics paper for a real journal. The paper had two authors: Vernon Smith, a Nobel Prize winner, and Sabiou Inoua, one of Smith’s former Ph. D．students. The potential reviewers received one of three descriptions of the paper: one mentioning only Smith, another mentioning only Inoua, and a third with no author mentioned. Of the researchers who agreed to review the paper, Smith’s fame influenced their responses. When given only Smith’s name, 38.5% accepted the invitation to review, while the figures were 30.7% for those given no name and 28.5% for those given only Inoua’s name. To further avoid prejudice, the team randomly assigned the 313 reviewers who initially received no author’s name to review one of three papers: one credited to Smith alone, another to Inoua alone,and a third with no authors listed. Reviewers rated the paper credited to Smith the highest, praising its inclusion of new information and data-supported conclusions. The version with no authors received recommendations for acceptance from 24% of reviewers, more than double the percentage for the version credited only to Inoua. The team warned against evaluating identical work differently based on the author’s identity and suggested that double-blind reviews may reduce the prejudice. However, this approach may not be effective as reviewers can often identify authors through preprints or conference presentations. 28．What does the term “the Matthew effect” refer to according to this passage? A．A topic of public concern. B．A preference in publication. C．A document describing coins. D．A way to get papers accepted. 29．Why did the team from the University of Innsbruck carry out the extensive study? A．To review an economics paper. B．To find fault with prior studies. C．To further investigate an effect. D．To study how to release papers. 30．What are presented in paragraphs 3 and 4? A．Data reception and release. B．Paper description and scores. C．Research methods and findings. D．Authors’ identities and responses. 31．What does the team suggest to reduce the prejudice? A．Revising the review method. B．Reading the online preprint. C．Assessing different works. D．Adding new information. D When people hear “artificial intelligence,” many envision “big data.” There’s a reason for that: some of the most important AI breakthroughs in the past decade have relied on enormous data sets. But AI is not only about large data sets, and research in “small data” approaches has grown extensively over the past decade—with so-called transfer learning as an especially promising example. Also known as “fine-tuning,” transfer learning is helpful in settings where you have little data on the task of interest but abundant data on a related problem. The way it works is that you first train a model using a big data set and then retrain slightly using a smaller data set related to your specific problem. Research in transfer learning approaches has grown impressively over the past 10 years. In a new report for Georgetown University’s Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET), we examined current and projected progress in scientific research across “small data” approaches. Our analysis found that transfer learning stands out as a category that has experienced the most consistent and highest research growth on average since 2010. This growth has even outpaced the larger and more established field of reinforcement learning, which in recent years has attracted widespread attention. Small data approaches such as transfer learning offer numerous advantages over more data-intensive methods. By enabling the use of AI with less data, they can bolster progress in areas where little or no data exist, such as in forecasting natural disasters that occur relatively rarely or in predicting the risk of disease for a population set that does not have digital health records. Another way of thinking about the value of transfer learning is in terms of generalization. A recurring challenge in the use of AI is that models need to “generalize” beyond their training data. Because transfer learning models work by transferring knowledge from one task to another, they are very helpful in improving generalization in the new task, even if only limited data were available. Moreover, by using pretrained models, transfer learning can speed up training time and could also reduce the amount of computational resources needed to train algorithms (算法). This efficiency is significant, considering that the process of training one large neural (神经系统的) network requires considerable energy. Despite the growth in research, transfer learning has received relatively little visibility. The existence of techniques such as transfer learning does not seem to have reached the awareness of the broader space of policy makers and business leaders in positions of making important decisions about AI funding and adoption. By acknowledging the success of small data techniques like transfer learning—and distributing resources to support their widespread use—we can help overcome some of the common misconceptions regarding the role of data in AI and facilitate innovation in new directions. 32．What does the underlined word “bolster” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Promote. B．Seek. C．Track. D．Monitor. 33．In which of the following settings can transfer learning be best applied? A．Predicting the frequency of floods in Amazon rainforest. B．Designing a program that can read handwritten documents. C．Forecasting the number of people infected with an unknown illness. D．Predicting house prices based on basic features like area and location. 34．What is the writer’s attitude towards transfer learning? A．Doubtful. B．Optimistic. C．Critical. D．Unconcerned. 35．Which would be the best title for the passage? A．Transfer Learning: Where Does It Best Fit? B．Small Data Are Also Crucial for Advancing AI C．Transfer Learning Powers Technological Advances D．Big Data vs. Small Data: Which Is the Future of AI? 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) Since the pre-historic times, man has had an urge to satisfy his needs. Be it hunger or shelter, he has always controlled the conditions to the best of his advantages. 36 As we climbed the steps of evolution (进化), we somehow left behind common sense and logical thinking — we forgot that we have stopped thinking ahead of times. If you are hungry, what do you do? Grab a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? Just like your stomach, your mind is hungry. But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover, your favorite star and many such silly things. 37 When mind looses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop. 38 Now why reading and not watching TV? Because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from the childhood. Just like that to develop other aspects of our life, we have to turn to reading. Once you read a book, you just don’t run your eyes through the lines, but even your mind decodes (解读) it and explains it to you. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed. 39 It, if used many times, can help you link and relate a lot of things, of which you would have never thought! Actually, I had a problem in speaking English fluently, but as I read, I could improve significantly. I am still on the path of improvement to quench (止住) my thirst for satisfaction. So join me and give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. 40 A．This is nothing but creativity. B．Go, grab a book, and let me know. C．So it silently begins to focus on your needs and never lets itself grow. D．Hunger of the mind can be actually satisfied through extensive reading. E．You have numerous books which will answer all your “How to?” questions. F．Now this seed is unknowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas. G．This might be the reason why we humans are the most developed of all living species. 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) During the first weeks of his retirement from the fire service, Max had felt lost. And that’s when Polly, a library manager, helped him sign up as a 41 , for Robot Club in the library. Max hadn’t volunteered before and he didn’t know anything about 42 . He opened the packs containing the robots, nervously staring at the mess of parts. A dozen primary-age children gathered around the table, 43 eagerly. Almost double the number of adults crowded around them, watching. Glancing around the 44 at the many parents and carers accompanying the robot builders, Max knew he had to face this 45 . “Okay, team,” he started 46 , adopting the tone he’d used to 47 his unit during his firefighting days. “We’re going to build these robots one step 48 .” The children nodded, their hands busy with screws (螺丝) and plastic limbs. Max wandered from table to table, 49 words of encouragement, and slowly but surely, 50 the instructions in his mind. An hour passed, and the room was filled with the sound of chatter and clinking parts. As the final minutes of Robot Club ticked away, Max stood back and 51 the room. Robots of all shapes and sizes stood on the tables. The children were excited, 52 their creations to anyone who would look. As they began to leave, many children stopped to thank Max. Each “thank you” and “see you next week” chipped away at the sense of 53 he had felt since retiring. He hadn’t put out a fire today, but perhaps he had 54 something far more important — a new 55 for himself. 41．A．volunteer B．writer C．builder D．fireman 42．A．books B．programs C．children D．robots 43．A．searching B．waiting C．reading D．arguing 44．A．table B．neighbourhood C．team D．library 45．A．competition B．consequence C．challenge D．conflict 46．A．calmly B．coldly C．casually D．weakly 47．A．form B．brief C．warn D．scan 48．A．at one time B．in no time C．at a time D．at no time 49．A．processing B．offering C．exchanging D．understanding 50．A．putting aside B．turning down C．keeping off D．piecing together 51．A．surveyed B．cleaned C．decorated D．left 52．A．bringing up B．calling on C．showing off D．giving away 53．A．freedom B．relief C．loss D．guilt 54．A．reviewed B．lighted C．assessed D．reserved 55．A．version B．belief C．approach D．purpose 第二节 (共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Millions of tourists have visited the resort island of Hainan province this summer.

If you’d like to join us, here’s an application form”, said Ms. Delgado, the school librarian who had held the reading engagement event for students. Ben loved cats and he had always wanted one, so he hurried to take an application form. Then Ms. Delgado added, “We’ll be reading to the cats and award readers who make most progress.” Ben stopped. Reading al oud can be a challenging task. Ben might feel his heart racing, his palms sweating, and his voice shaking as he read. He might stumble over words or lose his place in the text. He might feel like everyone was watching him and judging him. Still, he really wanted to visit the cats, so he took an application form anyway. On Saturday, Ben arrived at the shelter with some of his classmates. “This is Max,” the shelter worker told Ben as she handed him a gray cat. Ben carried Max to a beanbag chair and sat down. Max settled onto his lap. He took a book he’d been working on and started reading. Max, very different from other cats walking around the room while the kids read, purred (发出呼噜声) on his lap as if he had understood what Ben read. “I’m glad Max is staying and listening to my reading and he is the best cat ever,” Ben told Dad excitedly. “I’m glad you two are friends,” Dad said. All week, Ben’s heart was filled with anxiety as he waited for Saturday to arrive. He was eager to read to Max and the anticipation of spending time with his feline (猫咪的) friend made him restless and nervous. When it arrived, Ben got to read to Max again. “What if someone adopts Max?” Ben asked Dad later. “I guess you’d read to a different cat,” Dad said. “But I don’t want a different cat. I wish we could adopt Max,” Ben said to Dad. He knew they couldn’t because Mom had allergies (过敏). Ben loved the cat so much that he even told his next-door neighbor, Mrs. Patel, about Max. “Max sounds like a special cat,” said Mrs. Patel. 注意： 1.续写词数应为 150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Week by week, Ben realized that reading seemed easier with Max’s company. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But on Saturday, Ben couldn’t find Max at the shelter. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 答案第1页，共2页 答案第1页，共2页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 模拟预测卷02 英 语 (考试时间：120 分钟试卷满分：150 分) 注意事项： 1.答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答 题卡上的指定位置。 2.选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用 2B 铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。写在 试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3.非选择题的作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试卷、草稿纸和 答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 第一部分：听力(共两节，满分 30 分) 第一节(共 5 小题;每小题 1.5 分，满分 7.5 分) 听下面 5 段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项。 听完每段对话后，你都有 10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．What is the restaurant’s specialty?

We honor our parents and what they have done for us, but we’re also choosing to be more emotionally healthy and trying to live differently than we were taught. The part of Turning Red I particularly loved is the ending. Though Meilin’s mom, grandma, and aunts see that it’s possible to integrate their red pandas into their lives, they don’t choose that path. Instead, they choose to bottle their pandas up once again. However, they do get a new perspective on this young, groundbreaking girl. It’s such a sweet reminder that not everyone can go on the same journey toward emotional health, and that’s okay. If all of them had embraced their pandas, I think the ending would’ve felt incredibly cheese and taken away some of the power of the story. So we get a conclusion that is satisfying and heart-warming without being too much of a fairy tale. 24．Why did the author enjoy watching Turning Red? A．She found a connection with the story. B．She followed a life path similar to its director. C．She adored the appealing design of the red panda. D．She valued its emphasis on the beautiful Chinese culture. 25．What does the underlined word “repression” in the third paragraph mean? A．Disturbance. B．Control. C．Wellness. D．Expression. 26．What does the author think of the ending of the film? A．Bittersweet. B．Idealized. C．Realistic. D．Cheesy. 27．What is the central dilemma faced by Meilin in Turning Red? A．“Can I embrace my true self?” B．“Should I prioritize my family?” C．“Can I uncover the curse’s secret?” D．“Should I explore diverse cultures?” C Yes, having a big name in science will help get your paper published, a new study confirms. Involving hundreds of researchers reviewing an economics paper, the study found that reviewers were more likely to recommend acceptance when the paper was associated with a famous author compared to a lesser-known one. The Matthew effect, a term coined in 1968 to describe this prejudice, has been a topic of concern among scientists for years. However, previous efforts to document this prejudice had limitations such as small sample sizes or lack of randomization. To address these issues, a team from the University of Innsbruck conducted an extensive study. The team sent emails to about 3,300 researchers, inviting them to review an economics paper for a real journal. The paper had two authors: Vernon Smith, a Nobel Prize winner, and Sabiou Inoua, one of Smith’s former Ph. D．students. The potential reviewers received one of three descriptions of the paper: one mentioning only Smith, another mentioning only Inoua, and a third with no author mentioned. Of the researchers who agreed to review the paper, Smith’s fame influenced their responses. When given only Smith’s name, 38.5% accepted the invitation to review, while the figures were 30.7% for those given no name and 28.5% for those given only Inoua’s name. To further avoid prejudice, the team randomly assigned the 313 reviewers who initially received no author’s name to review one of three papers: one credited to Smith alone, another to Inoua alone,and a third with no authors listed. Reviewers rated the paper credited to Smith the highest, praising its inclusion of new information and data-supported conclusions. The version with no authors received recommendations for acceptance from 24% of reviewers, more than double the percentage for the version credited only to Inoua. The team warned against evaluating identical work differently based on the author’s identity and suggested that double-blind reviews may reduce the prejudice. However, this approach may not be effective as reviewers can often identify authors through preprints or conference presentations. 28．What does the term “the Matthew effect” refer to according to this passage? A．A topic of public concern. B．A preference in publication. C．A document describing coins. D．A way to get papers accepted. 29．Why did the team from the University of Innsbruck carry out the extensive study? A．To review an economics paper. B．To find fault with prior studies. C．To further investigate an effect. D．To study how to release papers. 30．What are presented in paragraphs 3 and 4? A．Data reception and release. B．Paper description and scores. C．Research methods and findings. D．Authors’ identities and responses. 31．What does the team suggest to reduce the prejudice? A．Revising the review method. B．Reading the online preprint. C．Assessing different works. D．Adding new information. D When people hear “artificial intelligence,” many envision “big data.” There’s a reason for that: some of the most important AI breakthroughs in the past decade have relied on enormous data sets. But AI is not only about large data sets, and research in “small data” approaches has grown extensively over the past decade—with so-called transfer learning as an especially promising example. Also known as “fine-tuning,” transfer learning is helpful in settings where you have little data on the task of interest but abundant data on a related problem. The way it works is that you first train a model using a big data set and then retrain slightly using a smaller data set related to your specific problem. Research in transfer learning approaches has grown impressively over the past 10 years. In a new report for Georgetown University’s Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET), we examined current and projected progress in scientific research across “small data” approaches. Our analysis found that transfer learning stands out as a category that has experienced the most consistent and highest research growth on average since 2010. This growth has even outpaced the larger and more established field of reinforcement learning, which in recent years has attracted widespread attention. Small data approaches such as transfer learning offer numerous advantages over more data-intensive methods. By enabling the use of AI with less data, they can bolster progress in areas where little or no data exist, such as in forecasting natural disasters that occur relatively rarely or in predicting the risk of disease for a population set that does not have digital health records. Another way of thinking about the value of transfer learning is in terms of generalization. A recurring challenge in the use of AI is that models need to “generalize” beyond their training data. Because transfer learning models work by transferring knowledge from one task to another, they are very helpful in improving generalization in the new task, even if only limited data were available. Moreover, by using pretrained models, transfer learning can speed up training time and could also reduce the amount of computational resources needed to train algorithms (算法). This efficiency is significant, considering that the process of training one large neural (神经系统的) network requires considerable energy. Despite the growth in research, transfer learning has received relatively little visibility. The existence of techniques such as transfer learning does not seem to have reached the awareness of the broader space of policy makers and business leaders in positions of making important decisions about AI funding and adoption. By acknowledging the success of small data techniques like transfer learning—and distributing resources to support their widespread use—we can help overcome some of the common misconceptions regarding the role of data in AI and facilitate innovation in new directions. 32．What does the underlined word “bolster” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A．Promote. B．Seek. C．Track. D．Monitor. 33．In which of the following settings can transfer learning be best applied? A．Predicting the frequency of floods in Amazon rainforest. B．Designing a program that can read handwritten documents. C．Forecasting the number of people infected with an unknown illness. D．Predicting house prices based on basic features like area and location. 34．What is the writer’s attitude towards transfer learning? A．Doubtful. B．Optimistic. C．Critical. D．Unconcerned. 35．Which would be the best title for the passage? A．Transfer Learning: Where Does It Best Fit? B．Small Data Are Also Crucial for Advancing AI C．Transfer Learning Powers Technological Advances D．Big Data vs. Small Data: Which Is the Future of AI? 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) Since the pre-historic times, man has had an urge to satisfy his needs. Be it hunger or shelter, he has always controlled the conditions to the best of his advantages. 36 As we climbed the steps of evolution (进化), we somehow left behind common sense and logical thinking — we forgot that we have stopped thinking ahead of times. If you are hungry, what do you do? Grab a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? Just like your stomach, your mind is hungry. But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover, your favorite star and many such silly things. 37 When mind looses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop. 38 Now why reading and not watching TV? Because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from the childhood. Just like that to develop other aspects of our life, we have to turn to reading. Once you read a book, you just don’t run your eyes through the lines, but even your mind decodes (解读) it and explains it to you. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed. 39 It, if used many times, can help you link and relate a lot of things, of which you would have never thought! Actually, I had a problem in speaking English fluently, but as I read, I could improve significantly. I am still on the path of improvement to quench (止住) my thirst for satisfaction. So join me and give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. 40 A．This is nothing but creativity. B．Go, grab a book, and let me know. C．So it silently begins to focus on your needs and never lets itself grow. D．Hunger of the mind can be actually satisfied through extensive reading. E．You have numerous books which will answer all your “How to?” questions. F．Now this seed is unknowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas. G．This might be the reason why we humans are the most developed of all living species. 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) During the first weeks of his retirement from the fire service, Max had felt lost. And that’s when Polly, a library manager, helped him sign up as a 41 , for Robot Club in the library. Max hadn’t volunteered before and he didn’t know anything about 42 . He opened the packs containing the robots, nervously staring at the mess of parts. A dozen primary-age children gathered around the table, 43 eagerly. Almost double the number of adults crowded around them, watching. Glancing around the 44 at the many parents and carers accompanying the robot builders, Max knew he had to face this 45 . “Okay, team,” he started 46 , adopting the tone he’d used to 47 his unit during his firefighting days. “We’re going to build these robots one step 48 .” The children nodded, their hands busy with screws (螺丝) and plastic limbs. Max wandered from table to table, 49 words of encouragement, and slowly but surely, 50 the instructions in his mind. An hour passed, and the room was filled with the sound of chatter and clinking parts. As the final minutes of Robot Club ticked away, Max stood back and 51 the room. Robots of all shapes and sizes stood on the tables. The children were excited, 52 their creations to anyone who would look. As they began to leave, many children stopped to thank Max. Each “thank you” and “see you next week” chipped away at the sense of 53 he had felt since retiring. He hadn’t put out a fire today, but perhaps he had 54 something far more important — a new 55 for himself. 41．A．volunteer B．writer C．builder D．fireman 42．A．books B．programs C．children D．robots 43．A．searching B．waiting C．reading D．arguing 44．A．table B．neighbourhood C．team D．library 45．A．competition B．consequence C．challenge D．conflict 46．A．calmly B．coldly C．casually D．weakly 47．A．form B．brief C．warn D．scan 48．A．at one time B．in no time C．at a time D．at no time 49．A．processing B．offering C．exchanging D．understanding 50．A．putting aside B．turning down C．keeping off D．piecing together 51．A．surveyed B．cleaned C．decorated D．left 52．A．bringing up B．calling on C．showing off D．giving away 53．A．freedom B．relief C．loss D．guilt 54．A．reviewed B．lighted C．assessed D．reserved 55．A．version B．belief C．approach D．purpose 第二节 (共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Millions of tourists have visited the resort island of Hainan province this summer.

If you’d like to join us, here’s an application form”, said Ms. Delgado, the school librarian who had held the reading engagement event for students. Ben loved cats and he had always wanted one, so he hurried to take an application form. Then Ms. Delgado added, “We’ll be reading to the cats and award readers who make most progress.” Ben stopped. Reading al oud can be a challenging task. Ben might feel his heart racing, his palms sweating, and his voice shaking as he read. He might stumble over words or lose his place in the text. He might feel like everyone was watching him and judging him. Still, he really wanted to visit the cats, so he took an application form anyway. On Saturday, Ben arrived at the shelter with some of his classmates. “This is Max,” the shelter worker told Ben as she handed him a gray cat. Ben carried Max to a beanbag chair and sat down. Max settled onto his lap. He took a book he’d been working on and started reading. Max, very different from other cats walking around the room while the kids read, purred (发出呼噜声) on his lap as if he had understood what Ben read. “I’m glad Max is staying and listening to my reading and he is the best cat ever,” Ben told Dad excitedly. “I’m glad you two are friends,” Dad said. All week, Ben’s heart was filled with anxiety as he waited for Saturday to arrive. He was eager to read to Max and the anticipation of spending time with his feline (猫咪的) friend made him restless and nervous. When it arrived, Ben got to read to Max again. “What if someone adopts Max?” Ben asked Dad later. “I guess you’d read to a different cat,” Dad said. “But I don’t want a different cat. I wish we could adopt Max,” Ben said to Dad. He knew they couldn’t because Mom had allergies (过敏). Ben loved the cat so much that he even told his next-door neighbor, Mrs. Patel, about Max. “Max sounds like a special cat,” said Mrs. Patel. 注意： 1.续写词数应为 150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Week by week, Ben realized that reading seemed easier with Max’s company. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But on Saturday, Ben couldn’t find Max at the shelter. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 参考答案 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 B B C C C A B A B C 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 B C A A B B B B C A 题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 C B D A B C A B C C 题号 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 答案 A A C B B G C D F B 题号 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 答案 A D B D C A B C B D 题号 51 52 53 54 55 答案 A C C B D 1．B 【原文】M: There’s a new restaurant downtown called the Sweet Life. W: Oh, I hadn’t heard of it. What do they sell? M: They’ve got a bit of everything, but they specialize in Italian food. W: Oh, I prefer American food and Thai food, to be honest. 2．B 【原文】W: Good morning, sir, how can I help you? M: I’d like to meet Mister Sarkar, the general manager of the fans division. W: May I have your name? M: My name is Ravidas and I am here to ask how to join the company. 3．C 【原文】W: I’m going for a vacation for two weeks. M: Where to? W: I’m staying with my aunt in South Africa in her lovely house. I’m looking forward to catching up with the family more than anything else, even going to the beach. M: Enjoy your holiday. Be careful of sharks. 4．C 【原文】M: You can have my seat. I’m getting off at the next stop. W: That’s nice of you. There are never enough seats here. M: Well, it’s more convenient than looking for a parking space. W: I suppose I usually drive, but I had car trouble today. 5．C 【原文】W: I’m wondering if we can save money on our electricity bills. M: Has it gone up? W: Yes, it has. I think we can save electricity in a few different ways. I found this helpful guide online. We can have a try. 6．A 7．B 【原文】M: Hey, Grace, it’s me. I texted you to ask if you would come to my house warming party to tonight but you just texted back a strange emoji. What does it mean? W: It’s a shaking head emoji. I’ve got an exam tomorrow so I have to stay in the library the whole day to day. Sorry. M: All right, the emoji really confused me. I’ve never seen that before. W: Well, some new emojis were just released this month, including a shaking head and a familiar goose. M: Familiar goose? Yeah, it was inspired by the hot puzzle stealth game, Untitled Goose Game. 8．A 9．B 【原文】W: Did you know the French film festival is starting tonight? M: Oh, if you had not reminded me, I would have forgotten. W: We could go to the cinema and see that Eliza film. M: You could go and see it if you want to. W: Why don’t you want to go to the cinema? Eliza is the most famous superstar now. M: So what? W: Don’t you know the importance of superstars? M: I couldn’t care less about superstars. They’re all just loved by the public one day and forgotten the next. 10．C 11．B 12．C 【原文】W: Can I help you? M: Yes, I’d like to return this jacket. W: May I ask why you’re returning it? M: I bought it for my son but it’s too small. W: Do you have your receipt? M: Yes, here it is. W: I’m sorry this jacket was on sale. We don’t return on sale items. You can exchange it for something else or we can give you a credit note. M: Do you have the jacket in a larger size? W: Let me check. I’m afraid we’re all sold out. M: OK, I’ll take a credit note. How long is it good for? W: It’s good for a year. Okay, I’ll come back next week and see if I can find something else he might like. 13．A 14．A 15．B 16．B 【原文】M: Now, Mrs Franks, I’d just like to read your statement back to you and then you can write your name on it. W: Fine. M: I was standing in front of the second National Bank building at about 8:55 am. I saw a small red car heading for the cross roads of Churchill Avenue and York Road. It was coming towards me along Churchill Avenue at about forty miles per hour. The traffic lights on York Road changed to green and a delivery lorry began to move forward at about five miles per hour. The driver of the car probably didn’t see that his traffic light had changed from orange to red and ran into the side of the lorry. W: That’s correct. 17．B 18．B 19．C 20．A 【原文】M: There are many ways of shopping. You can shop by telephone, by post or through your home computer. But for many people, the most exciting way to shop is still the most traditional. At a street market, you can find markets anywhere in the world. Here are four of them. There are many floating markets in Asia. Perhaps the most unusual is in Thailand, at a place called Damnoen Saduak. It’s open from six in the morning to noon every day. People sell fresh fruit from their boats. Many Belgians say that the grand place is the most beautiful square in the world. It is the home of a colorful flower market. It’s open every day except Monday. On Monday, instead of flowers, there’s a wonderful bird market. One of the world’s most famous markets is in Mexico City, the Sonara market. Here you can buy toys, birds, herbs, and medicines. There are all kinds of things. It’s open every day from early in the morning till late at night. In England every weekend thousands of young people from all over London travel to the Camden market. It’s the place to go for street fashion CD’s and tapes. Many people also go there just for fun. 21．C 22．B 23．D 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个爱丁堡的博物馆。 21．细节理解题。根据Museum on the Mound部分中“Located in the heart of Edinburgh’s city center, this appealing museum takes a fresh look at money — and much, much more. You will see coins and banknotes from over the ages, including the first Scottish banknote printed in 1727. There are also interesting interactive displays and you can even try your hand at opening a safe!(位于爱丁堡市中心的心脏地带，这个吸引人的博物馆以全新的眼光看待金钱——以及更多。你会看到历代的硬币和钞票，包括1727年印制的第一张苏格兰钞票。还有有趣的互动展示，你甚至可以尝试打开一个保险箱！)”可知，Museum on the Mound对金融专业的学生最有吸引力。故选C。 22．细节理解题。根据Our Dynamic Earth部分中“Interactive exhibits allow visitors to experience earthquakes, the ocean floor, ice ages and mountains by the use of computer software. Particularly interesting is the “tour” around the eleven Earthscapes.(互动式展览可以让游客通过电脑软件体验地震、海底、冰河时代和山脉。特别有趣的是围绕11个地球景观的“游览”)”可知，你能在Our Dynamic Earth进行虚拟世界之旅。故选B。 23．细节理解题。根据第三段“The museum is home to numerous paintings, books and manuscripts (手稿), and you can also see Burns’ writing desk and Scott’s chess set.(博物馆里有许多绘画、书籍和手稿，你还可以看到伯恩斯的写字台和斯科特的国际象棋)”以及最后一段“The natural world, science and technology, discoveries, art, and world cultures are all explored.(自然世界，科学技术，发现，艺术和世界文化都被探索)”可知，作家博物馆和苏格兰国家博物馆的共同之处是都有一种艺术氛围。故选D。 24．A 25．B 26．C 27．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者观看了电影《青春变形记》，电影讲述了13岁的女孩Meilin突然开始变成一只巨大的红色熊猫的故事。文章分析了这部电影的剧情和主题，以及作者对电影的评价。 24．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“It was a joy for me to watch a film that I could relate to.(能看一部与自己有关的电影，我感到很高兴。)”可知，作者喜欢看《青春变形记》是因为她能在故事中找到共鸣。故选A。 25．词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“As soon as they begin to blossom into womanhood, they transform into a giant red panda whenever they express any strong emotion. Thus, they have learned that emotional repression is the way to go.(当她们开始步入成年期，每当她们表达任何强烈的情感时，她们就会变成一只巨大的红色熊猫。因此，她们知道了……情绪是前进的道路。)”可知，女性只要表达出强烈的情感就会变成熊猫，所以她们选择了控制自己的情绪。由此可知，repression的意思是“控制”，与control意思相近。故选B。 26．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“So we get a conclusion that is satisfying and heart-warming without being too much of a fairy tale.(所以我们得到了一个令人满意和温暖人心的结尾，而不是过于童话般的结尾。)”可知，作者认为电影的结局是现实的。故选C。 27．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“We honor our parents and what they have done for us, but we’re also choosing to be more emotionally healthy and trying to live differently than we were taught.(我们尊重我们的父母和他们为我们所做的一切，但我们也选择更健康的情绪，并试图以与我们被教导的不同的方式生活。)”可知，电影中的Meilin一方面想要尊重父母和他们的文化传统，另一方面又想要追求自己的情感健康和个人发展。A选项“‘我能拥抱真实的自己吗？’”是她面临的两难选择。故选A。 28．B 29．C 30．C 31．A 【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文。文章主要介绍了科学界中马太效应的一个实证研究，该效应描述了在科学研究中对著名作者存在的偏见，以及这种偏见对论文发表机会的影响并提出了减少这种偏见的可能方法。 28．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The Matthew effect, a term coined in 1968 to describe this prejudice, has been a topic of concern among scientists for years. However, previous efforts to document this prejudice had limitations such as small sample sizes or lack of randomization. To address these issues, a team from the University of Innsbruck conducted an extensive study. (马太效应是1968年创造的一个术语，用来描述这种偏见，多年来一直是科学家们关注的话题。然而，先前记录这种偏见的努力存在局限性，例如样本量小或缺乏随机化。为了解决这些问题，来自因斯布鲁克大学的一个团队进行了一项广泛的研究。)”可知，“马太效应”被描述为“对著名作者的偏见”和“基于作者身份对相同作品的不同评价”。它用来描述审稿人在接受与著名作者相关的论文时，相比于鲜为人知的作者，所表现出的偏见。这清楚地表明，它指的是出版过程中的偏好或偏见。故选B。 29．推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The Matthew effect, a term coined in 1968 to describe this prejudice, has been a topic of concern among scientists for years. However, previous efforts to document this prejudice had limitations such as small sample sizes or lack of randomization. To address these issues, a team from the University of Innsbruck conducted an extensive study. (马太效应是1968年创造的一个术语，用来描述这种偏见，多年来一直是科学家们关注的话题。然而，先前记录这种偏见的努力存在局限性，例如样本量小或缺乏随机化。为了解决这些问题，来自因斯布鲁克大学的一个团队进行了一项广泛的研究。)”可知，该团队进行了一项广泛的研究是为了深入调查这一效应，而不是简单地回顾一篇经济学论文、找先前研究的错误或研究如何发布论文。故选C。 30．主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“The team sent emails to about 3,300 researchers, inviting them to review an economics paper for a real journal .(该团队向大约3300名研究人员发送了电子邮件，邀请他们为一份真正的期刊审阅一篇经济学论文。)”、第四段“To further avoid prejudice, the team randomly assigned the 313 reviewers who initially received no author’s name to review one of three papers: one credited to Smith alone, another to Inoua alone, and a third with no authors listed. (为了进一步避免偏见，研究小组随机分配了313名最初没有收到作者姓名的审稿人，让他们分别审查三篇论文中的一篇：一篇是Smith一个人的论文，另一篇是Inoua一个人的论文，还有一篇没有作者的论文。)”可知，在这两段中，首先介绍了研究团队使用的实验方法，即他们模拟了经济学领域论文的同行评审过程，并详细说明了实验的具体步骤。接着，在第4段中，他们呈现了研究的发现，即论文的作者身份确实对审稿人的评分有显著影响，这进一步验证了“马太效应”的存在。因此，这两段主要介绍了研究方法和发现。故选C。 31．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The team warned against evaluating identical work differently based on the author’s identity and suggested that double-blind reviews may reduce the prejudice. However, this approach may not be effective as reviewers can often identify authors through preprints or conference presentations. (该团队警告说，不要根据作者的身份对相同的作品进行不同的评估，并建议双盲评审可能会减少偏见。然而，这种方法可能并不有效，因为审稿人通常可以通过预印本或会议演讲来识别作者。)”可知，研究人员认为减少偏见的唯一方法是修改评审方法。因此，团队建议的是修订评审方法以减少偏见。故选A。 32．A 33．C 34．B 35．B 【导语】文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了小数据在人工智能领域的重要性，特别是转移学习的作用和价值。 32．词句猜测题。根据文章第三段的“such as in forecasting natural disasters that occur relatively rarely or in predicting the risk of disease for a population set that does not have digital health records.”（例如预测罕见的自然灾害或预测没有数字健康记录的人群的疾病风险。）可知，通过使人工智能能够使用较少的数据，他们可以在几乎没有数据的领域推动进步。bolster在这里的意思是“推动”。故选A。 33．推理判断题。根据文章第三段的“Small data approaches such as transfer learning offer numerous advantages over more data-intensive methods. By enabling the use of AI with less data, they can bolster progress in areas where little or no data exist, such as in forecasting natural disasters that occur relatively rarely or in predicting the risk of disease for a population set that does not have digital health records.”（像迁移学习这样的小数据方法比数据密集的方法有很多优势。人工智能能够使用较少的数据，他们可以在几乎没有数据的领域推动进步，例如预测罕见的自然灾害或预测没有数字健康记录的人群的疾病风险。）可推知，转移学习可以最好地应用于预测未知疾病感染人数的情况。故选C。 34．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的“By acknowledging the success of small data techniques like transfer learning—and distributing resources to support their widespread use—we can help overcome some of the common misconceptions regarding the role of data in AI and facilitate innovation in new directions.”（通过承认转移学习等小数据技术的成功，并分配资源支持其广泛使用，我们可以帮助克服关于数据在人工智能中的角色的一些常见误解，并促进新方向的创新。）可推知，作者对转移学习持乐观态度。故选B。 35．主旨大意题。根据第一段“But AI is not only about large data sets, and research in “small data” approaches has grown extensively over the past decade”（ 但人工智能不仅仅是关于大数据集，在过去的十年里，对“小数据”方法的研究也得到了广泛的发展）可知，短文主要讲述了小数据在人工智能领域的重要性，特别是转移学习的作用和价值。故短文的标题为“小数据对于推进人工智能也至关重要”切题。故选B。 36．G 37．C 38．D 39．F 40．B 【导语】本文一篇议论文。作者通过解释和比较的方法来介绍大脑同胃一样也需要“营养”，阐述阅读带来的好处并号召人们应该不断阅读以丰富自我。 36．上文“Since the per-historic times, man has had an urge to satisfy his needs. Be it hunger or shelter, he has always controlled the conditions to the best of his advantages. (自史前时代以来，人类就有一种满足自己需求的冲动。无论是饥饿还是栖身之所，他总能把环境控制到自己最有利的程度。)”指出人类自史前以来就有一种满足自己需求的冲动，总能使环境对自己有利；G选项“This might be the reason why we humans are the most developed of all living species.(这可能就是为什么我们人类是所有现存物种中最发达的。)”承接上文，指出人类总能把环境控制到自己最有利的程度可能是人类是所有现存物种中最发达的原因，选项中的“This”指代上文“he has always controlled the conditions to the best of his advantages”；由此可知，G选项符合语境。故选G。 37．上文“Just like your stomach, your mind is hungry. But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover, your favorite star and many such silly things.(就像你的胃一样，你的大脑也很饿。但它永远不会让你知道，因为你让它忙着想着你的梦中情人，你最喜欢的明星和许多这样愚蠢的事情。)”指出你的大脑像胃一样也会饿，但是因为想着许多荒谬的事情，大脑所需的“营养”无法得到满足，你也不知道自己的思想是贫乏的；C选项“So it silently begins to focus on your needs and never lets itself grow.(所以它开始默默地关注你的需求，不让自己成长。)”与上文构成因果关系，指出大脑因为想着许多愚蠢的东西，使思想无法得到发展，结果使得思想贫乏而不自知；下文“When mind looses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop.(当思维失去成长的自由时，创造力就戛然而止。)”承接C选项，指出当大脑思维失去“营养”无法得到成长时，就会失去创造力，文中的“mind looses its freedom to grow”与选项中的“never lets itself grow”表达的意思一致。故选C。 38．上一段主要阐述了大脑饥饿、思想贫乏会产生的不好的结果；由下文“Now why reading and not watching TV? Because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from the childhood. Just like that to develop other aspects of our life, we have to turn to reading. Once you read a book, you just don’t run your eyes through the lines, but even your mind decodes (解读) it and explains it to you. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed.(为什么是阅读而不是看电视呢？因为从孩提时代起，阅读就是我们最具教育意义的工具。就像要发展我们生活的其他方面一样，我们必须求助于阅读。一旦你读了一本书，你不只是用眼睛浏览字里行间，甚至你的大脑也会解码并解释给你听。书中有趣的部分就像种子一样储存在你的脑海里。)”可知本段中作者建议通过阅读填补思想上的饥饿，并详细阐述了广泛的阅读的益处；D选项“Hunger of the mind can be actually satisfied through extensive reading.(思想的饥饿实际上可以通过广泛的阅读来满足。)”指出思想的饥饿实际上可以通过广泛的阅读来解决，符合本段主旨，选项中的“extensive reading”与下文中的“reading”相照应。故选D。 39．上文“The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed. (书中有趣的部分就像种子一样储存在你的脑海里。)”指出书中有趣的部分就像种子一样储存在你的脑海里；F选项“Now this seed is unknowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas.(现在，这颗种子不知不觉地被你在未来用来发展新的想法。)”承接上文，指出书中有趣的部分就像种子一样储存在脑海里之后，就会不知不觉被用来发展新的想法，选项中的“this seed”指代上文中的“a seed”，即“The interesting part of the book”；由此可知，F选项符合语境。故选F。 40．上文“So join me and give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. (所以加入我，通过阅读，阅读，再阅读来充实你的思想。)”作者呼吁读者通过阅读来充实思想；B选项“Go, grab a book, and let me know.(现在就拿起一本书让我瞧瞧！)”号召读者拿起书来阅读，符合语境。故选B。 41．A 42．D 43．B 44．D 45．C 46．A 47．B 48．C 49．B 50．D 51．A 52．C 53．C 54．B 55．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。从消防部门退休的头几个星期里，马克斯感到很失落，图书馆经理波莉帮助他报名成为图书馆机器人俱乐部的志愿者，在第一次完成志愿活动后，他找到了新的人生目标。 41．考查名词词义辨析。句意：就在那时，图书馆经理波莉帮助他报名成为图书馆机器人俱乐部的志愿者。A. volunteer志愿者；B. writer作家；C. builder建立者；D. fireman消防员。根据后文“Max hadn’t volunteered before(马克斯以前没有做过志愿者)”可知，他报名成为图书馆机器人俱乐部的志愿者。故选A。 42．考查名词词义辨析。句意：马克斯以前没有做过志愿者，而且他对机器人一无所知。A. books书籍；B. programs计划；C. children孩子；D. robots机器人。根据后文“He opened the packs containing the robots, nervously staring at the mess of parts.

The presence of the gray cat made him feel more relaxed and comfortable. He noticed that Max’s purring had a calming effect on him, allowing him to focus better on the words in front of him. Ben was amazed by how much he enjoyed reading aloud to Max. Still, he was surprised when Ms. Delgado gave him the Most Improved Reader award. Ben felt a sense of pride and accomplishment as he held the certificate in his hands. He couldn’t wait to show it to Max. But on Saturday, Ben couldn’t find Max at the shelter. He looked around the room, hoping to catch a glimpse of his feline friend. However, Max was nowhere to be found. Ben’s heart sank as he realized that someone might have adopted Max. Just then, Mrs. Patel walked into the visitors’ room, carrying Max. “I’m adopting him,” Mrs. Patel said. “You can come over every day to read to him.” Hearing what Mrs. Patel said, Ben jumped with excitement and threw his arms around Mrs. Patel. Of course, he didn’t forget to hug Max tightly who gave a contented purr. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Ben去动物收容所时，给一只名叫Max的猫读书，发现它好像听得懂似得，于是Ben提出想收养Max，但他妈妈有过敏症。他甚至告诉了他的邻居Patel太太关于Max的事。一周又一周，Ben意识到有了Max的陪伴，读书似乎变得更容易了，Ben还被老师授予“最进步读者奖”。Ben想去收容所告诉Max得奖的事情，却得知Max被收养了，结果原来是邻居Patel太太收养了Max。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一周又一周，本意识到有马克斯的陪伴读书似乎更容易了。”可知，第一段可描写Ben在Max的陪伴下，朗读能力获得很大的提升，并获得老师的奖励。 ②由第二段首句内容“但是星期六，本在收容所找不到马克斯。”可知，第二段可描写Ben找不到Max的感受，以及最后知道Patel太太收养了Max后的反应。 2. 续写线索：老师安排去给猫读书——遇到Max——想收养Max但是不行——发现自己在Max陪伴下朗读能力提高——获得进步奖——想告诉Max——Max不见了——得知Max被Patel收养——高兴。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①注意到：notice/perceive/note ②集中注意力：focus on/concentrate on/throw oneself into ③走近：walk into/ step into 情绪类 ①惊讶的：amazed/surprised/astounded。 ②兴奋：excitement/enthusiasm/thrill 【点睛】[高分句型1]He noticed that Max’s purring had a calming effect on him, allowing him to focus better on the words in front of him.

The driver of the car probably didn't see that his traffic light had changed from orange to red and ran into the side of the Lorry. That's correct. Now, mrs. Franks.
