A GPA, or Grade Point Average, typically ranging from one to four, is a number reflecting your course performance on average. It’s used by universities to determine whether students meet academic standards and by students to enhance job prospects or secure admission into post-graduate programmes. Example: Academic Transcript of Jane Smith ● Winter 2023 Courses Letter Grade Grade points Credit hours Tota1 points GPA Creative Writing A+ 4.0 3 12 - Psychology A- 3.7 3 11.1 - History B+ 3.3 3 9.9 - Computer Science F 0.0 2 0 - Total - - 11 33 How to calculate a GPA? ● Determine the letter grade and the number of credit hours for each course you take in a term; ● Translate the letter grade to grade points using your school’s grading system; ● Multiply the grade points by the credit hours for that course; ● Add up all the credit hours for the courses; ● Divide the sum of total points by the total credit hours and you get the GPA. What are the consequences of failing college courses? ● Every failing grade (F) significantly impacts your GPA for that academic year, limiting clubs, organisations and programme choices, as competitive programmes require top GPAs. ● Most financial aid programmes require a specific GPA. A sharp drop in GPA due to several course failures may lead to removal from financial aid programmes unless you retake the courses and pass. 21. What is Jane Smith’s GPA this term? A. 3.3. B. 3.0. C. 2.8. D. 1.0. 22. What would be a result if you get one F in college? A. School removal. B. Loss of financial aid. C. Choice limitation. D. Disqualification from sports. 23. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A student handbook. B. A job fair poster. C. An application form. D. A school schedule. B The famous Spanish painter Pablo Picasso once said, “I always do what I can’t do so that I can learn how to do it.” It strikes a chord with me because that’s exactly what I’ve done these years. One of my earliest memories of doing before learning is of baking scones (烤饼) when I was about 10 years old. I wanted to bake them to surprise my mother when she returned home. Before that I’d observed how my mother baked them many times. As I started to try, I didn’t know I shouldn’t handle the dough with my hands too much once I’d added the baking powder. However, I knew exactly how to roll out the dough and use a cookie cutter to cut the scones, because my mom had already taught me. By the time my mom arrived home, the smell of freshly baked scones welcomed her into the kitchen. They were baked to golden brown perfection-flat, as a result of over handling the dough, but they tasted OK. My mom sweetly praised me for my attempt, rather than scolding me for the state of the kitchen, which was like a tornado had just blown! Have my attempts always been successful? I wish! Some of my kitchen disasters were of such proportions that even the dogs wanted nothing to do with them. My gardening failures didn’t live to see another season. But my habit of doing before learning is still helpful. Whatever computer program or application I have to learn, I do so by simply starting to use it. I do, learn, and improve. So if you ask me whether I regret that I tend to do first and learn later, I’d say I don’t, because what I have discovered from those is the wisdom to know when it’s OK to do and then learn, and when it’s probably better to learn and then do! 24 What can we learn about the author’s first experience of baking scones? A. She practiced hard before actually trying. B. She turned to her mom when necessary. C. She wanted to perform better than her mom. D She managed to do it despite a little imperfection. 25. How did Mom respond to the author’s attempt? A. She made improvements to the scones. B. She expressed her appreciation for the job. C. She shared her first experience of baking. D. She was surprised by the mess in the kitchen. 26. What does the author think of her practices of “doing before learning”? A. Most of them have ended up in failure. B. They are just a barely usable method. C. They contribute a lot to her self-improvement. D. They only apply to the learning of specific skills. 27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To stress the importance of keeping learning. B. To show the benefits of doing before learning. C. To encourage people to do something they can’t do. D. To call on readers to change their way of learning. C The interplay between literature and scientific research has been evident throughout history. At a surface level, literature often anticipates future scientific developments, and science, in turn, provides a rich source of inspiration for literary creation. However, the interaction between these two goes beyond mere creativity; it invites deeper thoughts on the ethical (道德的) and philosophical impacts of technological advancements. For instance, science fiction works like Isaac Asimov’s I, Robot play a direct role in shaping and inspiring the development of artificial intelligence (AI). This book pictures a future where robots coexist with humans and are governed by the “Three Laws of Robotics”. These laws not only influence the real-world AI research but also become a cornerstone in the debate surrounding AI ethics. These fictional laws provide more than just a blueprint for scientists; they serve as a bridge, making complex technological issues easier for the public to grasp. Yet, the influence of literature on science extends even further. Take Liu Cixin’s The Three-Body Problem as an example. The scientists in this fiction are not merely pioneers of scientific breakthroughs — they also represent the difficult choices and inner conflicts that humanity faces. Through their struggles, Liu presents a profound question: As science pushes us into new territory, are we truly prepared to bear the responsibility for the unforeseen impacts of technological advancements in the future? The true value of literature in relation to science is its ability to stir the pot. It not only question what we can achieve through science but also whether we should pursue these achievements. While science focuses on problem-solving and innovation, literature makes us consider the broader influence on nature and society, ensuring our progress is guided by wisdom, understanding, and humanity. 28. What do we know about I, Robot? A. It instructs scientists in detail. B. It boosts research on bridges. C. It facilitates public access to science. D. It sets laws for robots in the real world. 29. Why does the author mention The Three-Body Problem? A. To point out the complexity of science. B. To warn about the dangers of technology. C. To show literature’s moral concerns about science. D. To suggest literature’s direct influence on innovation. 30. What do the underlined words “stir the pot” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Explore and explain. B. Challenge and reflect. C. Assume and examine. D. Educate and entertain. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Science: the Blueprint of Literature B. Science: a Whisper in Literature’s Ear C. Literature: a Critical Insight into Science D. Literature: the Gateway to Scientific Ideas D Nearly 10 million people worldwide live with Parkinson’s disease. While Parkinson’s is incurable, some of its worst symptoms can be relieved and controlled using medications. A major problem of getting effective treatment at the right time is identifying the disease soon enough, before patients experience the symptoms brought on by irreversible (不可逆转的) neuron loss. But scientists might have just the thing to change the situation. And it involves a nose. In a study published in the journal ACS Omega, researchers from Zhejiang University created an “e-nose”, a portable device that can detect body smells specific to Parkinson’s patients. It may come as a surprise to learn Parkinson’s patients have their own smells. But after a retired nurse in Scotland made headlines in 2015 for a heightened sense of smell that led to her own husband’s Parkinson’s diagnosis (诊断), scientists have been trying hard to create a device that could smell the disease before physical symptoms start to show. Over the years, scientists have found people with Parkinson’s tend to produce more sebum than the average person. This sebum mixes with other overproduced substances to produce certain, unique smells. To track down these smells, the Zhejiang University researchers swabbed (用拭子擦拭) the upper backs of 31 Parkinson’s patients and 32 healthy volunteers. Using machine-learning software, they were able to identify three smell compounds that healthy volunteers lacked. The researchers then tested the e-nose on sebum taken from 12 Parkinson’s patients and 12 healthy people. The device was found to be about 71 percent accurate in distinguishing healthy sebum from Parkinson’s sebum. These are encouraging findings, but before the e-nose is ready for clinical use, the team needs to test it on many more people to improve the accuracy of the models. They will also need to test whether factors like race affect the e-nose’s performance in any way. But for now, as the number of people living with Parkinson’s in the U.S. is expected to rise to 1.2 million by 2030, a nose might be the best option to detect this disease. 32. What makes it difficult for Parkinson’s patients to get effective treatment? A. It’s not a curable disease medically. B. Its early signs are not easy to notice. C. It involves irreversible neuron loss. D. Its medications are in short supply. 33. What did the Scottish nurse find? A. Her husband had a heightened sense of smell. B. Her husband’s body gave off a strange smell. C. A smell could relieve her husband’s Parkinson’s symptoms. D. A smell caused her husband to suffer from a disease. 34. What will the researchers do concerning their invention? A. Refer to more academic articles. B. Create more lab models. C. Conduct a broader test. D. Expand its market outside the U. S. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. People living with Parkinson’s are on the rise. B. This e-nose can smell Parkinson’s. C. Parkinson’s patients produce more sebum. D. Researchers have found treatment for Parkinson’s. 第二节(共5小题：每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever thought about pouring used cooking oil down the sink? Just turn on the tap and flush (冲走) it all away. ___36___ Not only does this bad habit cause problems in your house, backyard, or neighborhood, but pouring such substances down the sink also creates widespread problems for the entire wastewater system and the workers responsible for its maintenance. The smooth day-to-day operation of our wastewater collection and treatment relies on the cooperation of people to “do the right thing”. Many water management authorities across Australia are in broad agreement: Please don’t pour oils down the sink. They all offer advice on far better alternatives. But the water industry has no control over what we do in the privacy of our homes. ____37____ When still hot, oils are often liquid and can be easily poured away. But down in the sewer (下水道) pipes, they rapidly cool and solidify.___38___ According to Western Australia’s Water Corporation, it is estimated that 30% of sewer blockages are due to oils. ___39___ Think about hair and so-called “flushable wipes”. They can build up over time, creating “fatbergs”: horrible masses of wipes, hair,hardened oils and other waste. Oils act as the glue that helps fatbergs build up at choke points in sewer systems. There are more responsible ways of handling oils than just flushing them away. ___40___ Small amounts of cooking oil can safely be composted (制成堆肥). Even just pouring oils into the rubbish is better. But remember, you may need to cool hot oils down before putting them into the bin. A. It is really up to us. B. Please don’t do that. C. Blocked sewers are bad for us. D. Some engines can run on cooking oil. E. This is a serious and common problem. F. Cooking oil can actually be recycled and used to make biofuels. G. Oils also cause trouble by combining with other flushed-away materials. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分) Roberta appeared on the stage. She took a deep breath and began to____41____.

In my head, I could hear the words my kids kept telling me, “Do it, Mom. You never do anything for yourself. Just follow your dream.” “What are you doing here? You’re a single mom of five. You’re fifty years old!” My thoughts were fighting with my kids’ words. Finally I gathered my courage, stepped into the hall and signed up for drum classes, which was my childhood dream. Wednesday came, and along with it my first drum lesson. I walked through the door and headed directly to the seating area in the back. I kept nervously looking at the time. I tried to slow down my breath. I knew the teacher would say I was not the right type of person to play the drums. I turned around to see an older man looking at me. “Stephanie? I’m Mike, the drum teacher,” he said. People make me nervous. That’s the way I’ve always been. But Mike had a very calm manner, so I relaxed just slightly. Not only did he not tell me that I was the wrong type of person to play the drums, but he praised me for holding the sticks well and following along with him. “You are fine. I see so much potential in you,” he told me. I felt full of excitement and energy. Soon my thirty-minute lesson was over. Walking back to my car, I remembered how many times I had driven my kids to their competitions and had proudly watched them bravely perform in public. Maybe one day I would have the chance to stand on the stage. I started the car and couldn’t wait to go back home. 66. 根据文本内容从方框中选择恰当的词并用其正确形式填入文本图示中，每词限用一次，有两词为多余选项。 disappointed nervous jump know praise word return walk take excited class remember As I ______ towards the door, my heart beat fast.

C 【解析】 【原文】M: I can’t tell you how many times someone has said to me: man, what a cake job? I mean you only work four hours a day. It’s true that I do a morning program from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. But it isn’t all my work time each day. I get up at 2:00 a.m. Then I take a quick shower and sit down at my computer. I collect program information and update our programs website until 4:30 a.m. I arrived at the radio station at 5:00 a.m. and spend the next hour preparing, recording and so on. The program begins at 6:00 a.m. and goes until 10:00 a.m. After that often I can walk out soon. But sometimes there are meetings. Then I go home and answer program emails, have lunch and have a short rest. Then at about 4:00 p.m. I began preparing for my next day. It really lasts two hours, so the four-hour day worktimetable is much longer than most people think. Luckily I really enjoy what I do. It’s not only my work but also my hobby. 第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A What is a GPA? A GPA, or Grade Point Average, typically ranging from one to four, is a number reflecting your course performance on average. It’s used by universities to determine whether students meet academic standards and by students to enhance job prospects or secure admission into post-graduate programmes. Example: Academic Transcript of Jane Smith ● Winter 2023 Courses Letter Grade Grade points Credit hours Tota1 points GPA Creative Writing A+ 4.0 3 12 - Psychology A- 3.7 3 11.1 - History B+ 3.3 3 9.9 - Computer Science F 0.0 2 0 - Total - - 11 33 How to calculate a GPA? ● Determine the letter grade and the number of credit hours for each course you take in a term; ● Translate the letter grade to grade points using your school’s grading system; ● Multiply the grade points by the credit hours for that course; ● Add up all the credit hours for the courses; ● Divide the sum of total points by the total credit hours and you get the GPA. What are the consequences of failing college courses? ● Every failing grade (F) significantly impacts your GPA for that academic year, limiting clubs, organisations and programme choices, as competitive programmes require top GPAs. ● Most financial aid programmes require a specific GPA. A sharp drop in GPA due to several course failures may lead to removal from financial aid programmes, unless you retake the courses and pass. 21. What is Jane Smith’s GPA this term? A. 3.3. B. 3.0. C. 2.8. D. 1.0. 22. What would be a result if you get one F in college? A. School removal. B. Loss of financial aid. C. Choice limitation. D. Disqualification from sports. 23. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A student handbook. B. A job fair poster. C. An application form. D. A school schedule. 【答案】21. B 22. C 23. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了大学用来确定学生是否达到学术标准的评价准则—GPA，并介绍了GPA的计算方法及课程不及格的后果。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据How to calculate a GPA?部分第五点“● Divide the sum of total points by the total credit hours and you get the GPA. (●将总分除以总学时，即可得到GPA)”及表格中可知，Jane Smith的Total points是33，total Credit hours是11，由此可知，她的GPA成绩是33/11=3，故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据What are the consequences of failing college courses?部分第一点“● Every failing grade (F) significantly impacts your GPA for that academic year, limiting clubs, organisations and programme choices, as competitive programmes require top GPAs. (● 每一个不及格成绩（F）都会显著影响你该学年的GPA，限制俱乐部、组织和课程选择，因为竞争激烈的课程需要最高的GPA)”可知，如果你在大学里得了一个F，那么他在多方面的选择会受到限制。故选C项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A GPA, or Grade Point Average, typically ranging from one to four, is a number reflecting your course performance on average. It’s used by universities to determine whether students meet academic standards and by students to enhance job prospects or secure admission into post-graduate programmes. (GPA，或平均绩点，通常在1到4之间，是一个反映你的平均课程成绩的数字。大学用它来确定学生是否符合学术标准，学生用它来提高就业前景或确保进入研究生课程)”可知，这篇文章介绍了大学用来确定学生是否达到学术标准的评价准则——GPA，并介绍了GPA的计算方法及课程不及格的后果。由此推知，这篇文章可能选自一本学生手册。故选A项。 B The famous Spanish painter Pablo Picasso once said, “I always do what I can’t do so that I can learn how to do it.” It strikes a chord with me because that’s exactly what I’ve done these years. One of my earliest memories of doing before learning is of baking scones (烤饼) when I was about 10 years old. I wanted to bake them to surprise my mother when she returned home. Before that I’d observed how my mother baked them many times. As I started to try, I didn’t know I shouldn’t handle the dough with my hands too much once I’d added the baking powder. However, I knew exactly how to roll out the dough and use a cookie cutter to cut the scones, because my mom had already taught me. By the time my mom arrived home, the smell of freshly baked scones welcomed her into the kitchen. They were baked to golden brown perfection-flat, as a result of over handling the dough, but they tasted OK. My mom sweetly praised me for my attempt, rather than scolding me for the state of the kitchen, which was like a tornado had just blown! Have my attempts always been successful? I wish! Some of my kitchen disasters were of such proportions that even the dogs wanted nothing to do with them. My gardening failures didn’t live to see another season. But my habit of doing before learning is still helpful. Whatever computer program or application I have to learn, I do so by simply starting to use it. I do, learn, and improve. So if you ask me whether I regret that I tend to do first and learn later, I’d say I don’t, because what I have discovered from those is the wisdom to know when it’s OK to do and then learn, and when it’s probably better to learn and then do! 24. What can we learn about the author’s first experience of baking scones? A. She practiced hard before actually trying. B. She turned to her mom when necessary. C. She wanted to perform better than her mom. D. She managed to do it despite a little imperfection. 25. How did Mom respond to the author’s attempt? A. She made improvements to the scones. B. She expressed her appreciation for the job. C. She shared her first experience of baking. D. She was surprised by the mess in the kitchen. 26. What does the author think of her practices of “doing before learning”? A. Most of them have ended up in failure. B. They are just a barely usable method. C. They contribute a lot to her self-improvement. D. They only apply to the learning of specific skills. 27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To stress the importance of keeping learning. B. To show the benefits of doing before learning. C. To encourage people to do something they can’t do. D. To call on readers to change their way of learning. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者用自己年少时做烤饼的经历来说明“先做后学”的好处。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“By the time my mom arrived home, the smell of freshly baked scones welcomed her into the kitchen. They were baked to golden brown perfection — flat, as a result of over handling the dough, but they tasted OK.(当我妈妈到家时，新鲜出炉的烤饼的香味把她迎进了厨房。由于过度处理面团，他们被烤成金棕色的完美扁平，但味道还不错)”可知，尽管最后作者做的烤饼因为过度手揉而有点扁平，但是味道很好，尽管有一点不完美，但她的尝试成功了。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“My mom sweetly praised me for my attempt, rather than scolding me for the state of the kitchen (妈妈亲切地表扬了我的尝试，并没有因为厨房的状况而责骂我)”可知，妈妈对作者的尝试表示赞赏。故选B项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But my habit of doing before learning is still helpful. Whatever computer program or application I have to learn, I do so by simply starting to use it. I do, learn, and improve. So if you ask me whether I regret that I tend to do first and learn later, I’d say I don’t, because what I have discovered from those is the wisdom to know when it’s OK to do and then learn, and when it’s probably better to learn and then do!(但我在学习前做的习惯仍然很有用。无论我需要学习什么计算机程序或应用程序，我都是通过简单地开始使用它来做到的。所以，如果你问我是否后悔我倾向于先做后学，我会说我不会，因为我从中发现了一种智慧，那就是知道什么时候可以做，什么时候可以学，什么时候最好学，然后做！)”可推知，作者认为这些在“学习”之前就做出的尝试为她的自我提升做出了很大的贡献。故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段“The famous Spanish painter Pablo Picasso once said, ‘I always do what I can’t do so that I can learn how to do it.’ It strikes a chord (引起共鸣) with me because that’s exactly what I’ve done these years.(西班牙著名画家巴勃罗·毕加索曾说过：‘我总是做我做不到的事，这样我才能学会做。’这句话引起了我的共鸣，因为这正是我这些年来所做的)”以及根据最后一段“But my habit of doing before learning is still helpful. Whatever computer program or application I have to learn, I do so by simply starting to use it. I do, learn, and improve. So if you ask me whether I regret that I tend to do first and learn later, I’d say I don’t, because what I have discovered from those is the wisdom to know when it’s OK to do and then learn, and when it’s probably better to learn and then do!(但我在学习前做的习惯仍然很有用。无论我需要学习什么计算机程序或应用程序，我都是通过简单地开始使用它来做到的。所以，如果你问我是否后悔我倾向于先做后学，我会说我不会，因为我从中发现了一种智慧，那就是知道什么时候可以做，什么时候可以学，什么时候最好学，然后做！)”可知，作者写本文的目的是要展示“先做后学”的好处。故选B项。 C The interplay between literature and scientific research has been evident throughout history. At a surface level, literature often anticipates future scientific developments, and science, in turn, provides a rich source of inspiration for literary creation. However, the interaction between these two goes beyond mere creativity; it invites deeper thoughts on the ethical (道德的) and philosophical impacts of technological advancements. For instance, science fiction works like Isaac Asimov’s I, Robot play a direct role in shaping and inspiring the development of artificial intelligence (AI). This book pictures a future where robots coexist with humans and are governed by the “Three Laws of Robotics”. These laws not only influence the real-world AI research but also become a cornerstone in the debate surrounding AI ethics. These fictional laws provide more than just a blueprint for scientists; they serve as a bridge, making complex technological issues easier for the public to grasp. Yet, the influence of literature on science extends even further. Take Liu Cixin’s The Three-Body Problem as an example. The scientists in this fiction are not merely pioneers of scientific breakthroughs — they also represent the difficult choices and inner conflicts that humanity faces. Through their struggles, Liu presents a profound question: As science pushes us into new territory, are we truly prepared to bear the responsibility for the unforeseen impacts of technological advancements in the future? The true value of literature in relation to science is its ability to stir the pot. It not only question what we can achieve through science but also whether we should pursue these achievements. While science focuses on problem-solving and innovation, literature makes us consider the broader influence on nature and society, ensuring our progress is guided by wisdom, understanding, and humanity. 28. What do we know about I, Robot? A. It instructs scientists in detail. B. It boosts research on bridges. C. It facilitates public access to science. D. It sets laws for robots in the real world. 29. Why does the author mention The Three-Body Problem? A. To point out the complexity of science. B. To warn about the dangers of technology. C. To show literature’s moral concerns about science. D. To suggest literature’s direct influence on innovation. 30. What do the underlined words “stir the pot” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Explore and explain. B. Challenge and reflect. C. Assume and examine. D. Educate and entertain. 31. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Science: the Blueprint of Literature B. Science: a Whisper in Literature’s Ear C. Literature: a Critical Insight into Science D. Literature: the Gateway to Scientific Ideas 【答案】28. C 29. C 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了文学与科学研究之间由来已久的相互影响力，强调文学对科学的影响不仅在于预测未来。文章以《我，机器人》和《三体》为例，揭示文学的真正价值在于引发人类对技术进步的思考，思考其对自然和社会的影响，以确保科学探索之路始终拥有智慧、理解和人文主义这三盏指路明灯。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“These fictional laws provide more than just a blueprint for scientists; they serve as a bridge, making complex technological issues easier for the public to grasp.(这些虚构的定律为科学家们提供的不仅仅是一个蓝图；它们还充当了一座桥梁，让公众更容易理解复杂的技术问题) 可知，这本书促进公众获取科学。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The scientists in this fiction are not merely pioneers of scientific breakthroughs — they also represent the difficult choices and inner conflicts that humanity faces. Through their struggles, Liu presents a profound question: As science pushes us into new territory, are we truly prepared to bear the responsibility for the unforeseen impacts of technological advancements in the future?(在这部小说里，科学家们不仅仅是科学突破的先驱者——他们还代表着人类所面临的艰难抉择和内心冲突。通过描写他们的挣扎，刘提出了一个深刻的问题：随着科学将我们推向新的领域，我们是否真的做好了准备，去承担未来技术进步所带来的那些难以预见的影响的责任呢？)”可推知，作者提及小说《三体》是为了展示文学作品对科学的道德关切。故选C。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“It not only question what we can achieve through science but also whether we should pursue these achievements. While science focuses on problem-solving and innovation, literature makes us consider the broader influence on nature and society, ensuring our progress is guided by wisdom, understanding, and humanity.(它不仅质疑我们通过科学能够取得什么样的成就，还质疑我们是否应该追求这些成就。虽然科学专注于解决问题和创新，但文学让我们思考其对自然和社会更广泛的影响，确保我们的进步是由智慧、理解和人性所引导的)”可知，文学相对于科学的真正价值在于它能提出质疑和让我们思考。由此可推测“stir the pot”意思是“挑战和反思”。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“However, the interaction between these two goes beyond d mere creativity; it invites deeper thoughts on the ethical (道德的) and philosophical impacts of techno logical advancements.(然而，这两者之间的互动不仅仅是创造力；它引发了对技术进步的伦理和哲学影响的更深层次的思考)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了文学与科学研究之间的相互作用，文学不仅能预见未来科学发展，还能对科学技术进步带来的伦理和哲学影响进行深入思考，对科学进行批判性洞察。C选项“文学：对科学的批判性洞察”符合文章主旨，最适合作为文章的标题。故选C。 D Nearly 10 million people worldwide live with Parkinson’s disease. While Parkinson’s is incurable, some of its worst symptoms can be relieved and controlled using medications. A major problem of getting effective treatment at the right time is identifying the disease soon enough, before patients experience the symptoms brought on by irreversible (不可逆转的) neuron loss. But scientists might have just the thing to change the situation. And it involves a nose. In a study published in the journal ACS Omega, researchers from Zhejiang University created an “e-nose”, a portable device that can detect body smells specific to Parkinson’s patients. It may come as a surprise to learn Parkinson’s patients have their own smells. But after a retired nurse in Scotland made headlines in 2015 for a heightened sense of smell that led to her own husband’s Parkinson’s diagnosis (诊断), scientists have been trying hard to create a device that could smell the disease before physical symptoms start to show. Over the years, scientists have found people with Parkinson’s tend to produce more sebum than the average person. This sebum mixes with other overproduced substances to produce certain, unique smells. To track down these smells, the Zhejiang University researchers swabbed (用拭子擦拭) the upper backs of 31 Parkinson’s patients and 32 healthy volunteers. Using machine-learning software, they were able to identify three smell compounds that healthy volunteers lacked. The researchers then tested the e-nose on sebum taken from 12 Parkinson’s patients and 12 healthy people. The device was found to be about 71 percent accurate in distinguishing healthy sebum from Parkinson’s sebum. These are encouraging findings, but before the e-nose is ready for clinical use, the team needs to test it on many more people to improve the accuracy of the models. They will also need to test whether factors like race affect the e-nose’s performance in any way. But for now, as the number of people living with Parkinson’s in the U.S. is expected to rise to 1.2 million by 2030, a nose might be the best option to detect this disease. 32. What makes it difficult for Parkinson’s patients to get effective treatment? A. It’s not a curable disease medically. B. Its early signs are not easy to notice. C. It involves irreversible neuron loss. D. Its medications are in short supply. 33. What did the Scottish nurse find? A. Her husband had a heightened sense of smell. B. Her husband’s body gave off a strange smell. C. A smell could relieve her husband’s Parkinson’s symptoms. D. A smell caused her husband to suffer from a disease. 34. What will the researchers do concerning their invention? A. Refer to more academic articles. B. Create more lab models. C. Conduct a broader test. D. Expand its market outside the U. S. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. People living with Parkinson’s are on the rise. B. This e-nose can smell Parkinson’s. C. Parkinson’s patients produce more sebum. D. Researchers have found treatment for Parkinson’s. 【答案】32. B 33. B 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了电子鼻可检测帕金森病的气味。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段中“A major problem of getting effective treatment at the right time is identifying the disease soon enough, before patients experience the symptoms brought on by irreversible (不可逆转的) neuron loss. (在适当的时候获得有效治疗的一个主要问题是尽早确诊疾病，在患者出现不可逆转的神经元损失所带来的症状之前。)”可知，帕金森病的早期症状不容易被注意到，这使得患者很难得到有效治疗。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“But after a retired nurse in Scotland made headlines in 2015 for a heightened sense of smell that led to her own husband’s Parkinson’s diagnosis (诊断), scientists have been trying hard to create a device that could smell the disease before physical symptoms start to show. (但在2015年，苏格兰一位退休护士因其敏锐的嗅觉帮助诊断出丈夫患有帕金森病而登上新闻头条之后，科学家们就一直在努力研发一种设备，能够在身体症状出现之前“嗅”出这种疾病。)”可知，这位苏格兰护士发现她丈夫身上散发出一种奇怪的气味。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“These are encouraging findings, but before the e-nose is ready for clinical use, the team needs to test it on many more people to improve the accuracy of the models. (这些发现是令人鼓舞的，但在电子鼻准备好用于临床之前，研究小组需要在更多的人身上进行测试，以提高模型的准确性。)”可知，研究人员将对他们的发明进行更广泛的测试。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中“In a study published in the journal ACS Omega, researchers from Zhejiang University created an “e-nose”, a portable device that can detect body smells specific to Parkinson’s patients. (在ACS Omega杂志上发表的一项研究中，浙江大学的研究人员发明了一种“电子鼻”，这是一种便携式设备，可以检测到帕金森病患者特有的体味。)”可知，本文主要介绍了一种能够检测到帕金森病患者特有体味的电子鼻。因此，B项“This e-nose can smell Parkinson’s. (这个电子鼻能闻出帕金森病)”适合作本文标题。故选B。 第二节(共5小题：每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever thought about pouring used cooking oil down the sink? Just turn on the tap and flush (冲走) it all away. ___36___ Not only does this bad habit cause problems in your house, backyard, or neighborhood, but pouring such substances down the sink also creates widespread problems for the entire wastewater system and the workers responsible for its maintenance. The smooth day-to-day operation of our wastewater collection and treatment relies on the cooperation of people to “do the right thing”. Many water management authorities across Australia are in broad agreement: Please don’t pour oils down the sink. They all offer advice on far better alternatives. But the water industry has no control over what we do in the privacy of our homes. ____37____ When still hot, oils are often liquid and can be easily poured away. But down in the sewer (下水道) pipes, they rapidly cool and solidify.___38___ According to Western Australia’s Water Corporation, it is estimated that 30% of sewer blockages are due to oils. ___39___ Think about hair and so-called “flushable wipes”. They can build up over time, creating “fatbergs”: horrible masses of wipes, hair,hardened oils and other waste. Oils act as the glue that helps fatbergs build up at choke points in sewer systems. There are more responsible ways of handling oils than just flushing them away. ___40___ Small amounts of cooking oil can safely be composted (制成堆肥). Even just pouring oils into the rubbish is better. But remember, you may need to cool hot oils down before putting them into the bin. A. It is really up to us. B. Please don’t do that. C. Blocked sewers are bad for us. D. Some engines can run on cooking oil. E. This is a serious and common problem. F. Cooking oil can actually be recycled and used to make biofuels. G. Oils also cause trouble by combining with other flushed-away materials. 【答案】36. B 37. A 38. E 39. G 40. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了将用过的食用油倒入下水道会带来一系列问题，并给出了处理食用油更负责任的方法。 【36题详解】 上文“Have you ever thought about pouring used cooking oil down the sink? Just turn on the tap and flush it all away.(你有没有想过把用过的食用油倒进下水道？只要打开水龙头，把它们全部冲走。)”提出了一个设想，即把用过的食用油倒进下水道里然后冲走，下文“Not only does this bad habit cause problems in your house, backyard, or neighborhood, but pouring such substances down the sink also creates widespread problems for the entire wastewater system and the workers responsible for its maintenance.(这种坏习惯不仅会给你的房子、后院或邻居带来问题，而且将这类物质倒入下水道还会给整个废水系统以及负责维护该系统的工作人员带来广泛的问题。)”指出了这种习惯带来的问题，由此可知，把用过的食用油倒进下水道然后冲走是一个坏习惯，会带来一系列问题，所以空白处应是对这一设想的否定，即不要这样做。B选项“请不要这样做”符合语境。故选B。 【37题详解】 根据上文“But the water industry has no control over what we do in the privacy of our homes.(但水务行业无法控制我们在家中私密空间的行为。)”可知，水务行业无法控制我们在家里的行为，所以处理用过的食用油这件事取决于我们自己。A选项“这真的取决于我们”承接上文，符合语境。故选A。 【38题详解】 根据上文“When still hot, oils are often liquid and can be easily poured away. But down in the sewer pipes, they rapidly cool and solidify.(油在热的时候通常是液体，可以很容易地倒掉。但在下水道管道里，它们会迅速冷却并凝固。)”可知，油在下水道管道里会迅速冷却并凝固，这是一个严重而普遍的问题。E选项“这是一个严重而普遍的问题”符合语境。故选E。 【39题详解】 根据下文“Think about hair and so-called ‘flushable wipes’. They can build up over time, creating ‘fatbergs’: horrible masses of wipes, hair, hardened oils and other waste. Oils act as the glue that helps fatbergs build up at choke points in sewer systems.(想想头发和所谓的‘可冲洗湿巾’。随着时间的推移，它们会不断积累，形成‘脂肪山’：可怕的湿巾、头发、硬化的油脂和其他废物的堆积。油脂就像胶水一样，帮助脂肪山在下水道系统的堵塞点堆积起来。)”可知，油还会与其他被冲走的物质结合，从而造成麻烦，G选项中的also表示递进关系，G选项“油还会与其他被冲走的物质结合，从而造成麻烦”引出下文，符合语境。故选G。 【40题详解】 根据上文“There are more responsible ways of handling oils than just flushing them away.(处理油脂的方法有很多，比仅仅把它们冲走更负责任。)和下文“Small amounts of cooking oil can safely be composted. Even just pouring oils into the rubbish is better. But remember, you may need to cool hot oils down before putting them into the bin.(少量的食用油可以安全地堆肥。甚至只是把油倒进垃圾里也比冲走好。但要记住，把油放进垃圾桶之前，你可能需要先把热油冷却。)”可知，本段介绍了一些处理食用油的更负责任的方法，F选项“食用油实际上可以回收并用来制造生物燃料”也是处理食用油的一种更负责任的方法，符合语境。故选F。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分) Roberta appeared on the stage.

That is the prediction of a recent study. It’s not just the Olympics ____57____ are at risk now. “The world of winter sports is changing as the global climate continues warming,” says Daniel Scott, ____58____ climate­change researcher in Canada. He led a team of researchers, who used math to predict ____59____ winter conditions will have changed by February 2050 and 2080. February is the month ____60____ the Olympic winter games are ____61____ (typical) played. Scott and his team forecast temperatures and snow cover for the 19 cities that have already hosted Winter Olympics, and two ____62____ (addition) cities: PyeongChang, South Korea, and Beijing, China. Scott’s team ____63____ (start) with looking at historic winter conditions, and then used computer models to predict conditions in the future. According to their model prediction, by 2050, the average February temperatures in past Winter Olympic host cities ____64____ (rise) by 1.9 to 2.1 degrees Celsius. These temperatures can affect the quality of snow, thus _____65_____ (increase) the chance of accidents. 【答案】56. to deal 57. that 58. a 59. how 60. when 61. typically 62. additional 63. started 64. will have risen 65. increasing 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了气候变化对冬季奥运会的影响，介绍了研究的背景、方法和结果，并指出了气候变化对冬季运动的影响。 【56题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：根据最近的一项研究预测，到本世纪末，超过一半的冬季奥运会举办城市将变得过于炎热，无法承办这样的赛事。空白处在句子中作状语表示结果，使用非谓语动词，因空白处表示的是一个指向将来的不确定的动作，使用动词不定式，且“too…to”为固定短语，表示“太……以至于不能……”，符合句意，故填to deal。 【57题详解】 考查强调句。句意：不仅仅是奥运会现在面临风险。本句是“It is...that...”的强调句型，强调的部分是“the Olympics”，原句去掉强调结构后为“Not just the Olympics are at risk now”，句子结构完整，所以这里填 that。故填that。 【58题详解】 考查冠词。句意：加拿大气候变化研究员丹尼尔·斯科特说：“随着全球气候持续变暖，冬季体育的世界正在发生变化。”根据冠词的用法，空白处需要填入一个冠词修饰名词climate-change researcher，表示泛指，因空白处后面词的第一个发音因素为辅音，故填a。 【59题详解】 考查名词性从句。句意：他带领一组研究人员，利用数学方法预测到2050年和2080年2月冬季条件将如何变化。本句为包含宾语从句的复合句，引导词在宾语从句中做状语表示“如何”，故填how。 【60题详解】 考查连接词。句意：2月通常是冬季奥运会举行的月份。空白处需要填入一个连接词引导定语从句，修饰先行词February做状语，表示时间，故填when。 【61题详解】 考查副词。句意：2月通常是冬季奥运会举行的月份。空白处需要填入一个副词修饰动词played做状语，故填typically。 【62题详解】 考查形容词。句意：斯科特和他的团队预测了已经举办过冬季奥运会的19个城市以及两个额外的城市——韩国平昌和中国北京的温度和积雪覆盖情况。空白处需要填入一个形容词修饰名词cities作定语，故填additional。 【63题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：斯科特的团队从研究历史冬季条件开始，然后使用计算机模型预测未来的条件。空白处在句子中作谓语，因本句表示过去的动作，谓语动词使用一般过去时，故填started。 【64题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：根据他们的模型预测，到2050年，过去冬季奥运会举办城市的2月平均气温将上升1.9至2.1摄氏度。根据时间状语by 2050可知，空白处需要填入一个动词的将来完成时，表示到将来某个时间点已经完成的动作，故填will have risen。 【65题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这些温度会影响雪的质量，从而增加事故的可能性。空白处需要填入一个现在分词作状语，表示自然而然的结果，故填increasing。 第四部分 任务型阅读(共两节，满分20分) 第一节(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分) 任务型阅读 My heart beat faster and faster as I headed towards the door. In my head, I could hear the words my kids kept telling me, “Do it, Mom. You never do anything for yourself. Just follow your dream.” “What are you doing here? You’re a single mom of five. You’re fifty years old!” My thoughts were fighting with my kids’ words. Finally I gathered my courage, stepped into the hall and signed up for drum classes, which was my childhood dream. Wednesday came, and along with it my first drum lesson. I walked through the door and headed directly to the seating area in the back. I kept nervously looking at the time. I tried to slow down my breath. I knew the teacher would say I was not the right type of person to play the drums. I turned around to see an older man looking at me. “Stephanie? I’m Mike, the drum teacher,” he said. People make me nervous. That’s the way I’ve always been. But Mike had a very calm manner, so I relaxed just slightly. Not only did he not tell me that I was the wrong type of person to play the drums, but he praised me for holding the sticks well and following along with him. “You are fine. I see so much potential in you,” he told me. I felt full of excitement and energy. Soon my thirty-minute lesson was over. Walking back to my car, I remembered how many times I had driven my kids to their competitions and had proudly watched them bravely perform in public. Maybe one day I would have the chance to stand on the stage. I started the car and couldn’t wait to go back home. 66. 根据文本内容从方框中选择恰当的词并用其正确形式填入文本图示中，每词限用一次，有两词为多余选项。 disappointed nervous jump know praise word return walk take excited class remember As I ______ towards the door, my heart beat fast.

(当我朝门口走去的时候，我的心跳得越来越快。)”可知，是我朝门口走去，headed towards the door为过去式，与walked towards the door意思相近，故填walked。 2. 考查动词。根据第二段“ ‘What are you doing here? You’re a single mom of five. You’re fifty years old!’ My thoughts were fighting with my kids’ words. (“你在这里做什么？你是一个有五个孩子的单身妈妈。你已经五十岁了！”我的思绪与孩子们的话在斗争。)”可知作者内心在纠结，不知道自己是否该追随梦想，空前有didn’t，空处应为动词原形，故填know。 3. 考查名词。根据第二段中“My thoughts were fighting with my kids’ words. (我的思绪与孩子们的话在斗争。)”可知，作者想到了孩子们的话，表示泛指，应用复数形式，故填words。 4. 考查名词。根据第三段“Finally I gathered my courage, stepped into the hall and signed up for drum classes, which was my childhood dream. (最后我鼓起勇气，走进大厅，报名参加了鼓乐课程，这是我儿时的梦想。)”可知，作者报名参加了鼓乐课程，鼓乐类课程表示泛指，应用名词复数形式，故填classes。 5.考查动词。根据第四段“Wednesday came, and along with it my first drum lesson. I walked through the door and headed directly to the seating area in the back. I kept nervously looking at the time. (星期三到了，随之而来的是我的第一节鼓课。我穿过门，径直走向后面的座位区。我一直紧张地看着时间。)”可知周三作者去上了第一节课，时态为一般过去时，take a lesson是固定搭配，表示“上一节课”，故填took。 6. 考查形容词。根据第四段中“I kept nervously looking at the time.”可知，作者很紧张，结合空前felt，空处应为形容词作表语。故填nervous。 7. 考查动词。根据倒数第三段中“Not only did he not tell me that I was the wrong type of person to play the drums, but he praised me for holding the sticks well and following along with him. (他不仅没有告诉我我不是适合打鼓的那种人，反而称赞我鼓槌拿得好，还能跟着他的节奏。)”可知，老师表扬了作者，时态为一般过去时，故填praised。 8.考查形容词。根据倒数第三段中“I felt full of excitement and energy. (我感到充满了兴奋和活力。)”可知，作者被老师表扬后感到兴奋和充满能量，结合空前felt可知空处应为形容词，主语为I，故填excited。 9. 考查动词。根据倒数第二段中“Walking back to my car, I remembered how many times I had driven my kids to their competitions and had proudly watched them bravely perform in public. (走回我的车旁，我想起了我有多少次开车送我的孩子们去参加比赛，并且骄傲地看着他们勇敢地在公众面前表演。)”可知，作者走回车上时回忆起孩子表演的场景，时态为一般过去时，故填remembered。 10. 考查动词。根据最后一段“I started the car and couldn’t wait to go back home. (我发动了汽车，迫不及待地想回家。)”可知，作者开车回家，go back home与return home意思相同，空前有不定式符号to，空处应为动词原形，故填return。 【67题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“ ‘What are you doing here? You’re a single mom of five. You’re fifty years old!’ My thoughts were fighting with my kids’ words. (“你在这里做什么？你是一个有五个孩子的单身妈妈。你已经五十岁了！”我的思绪与孩子们的话在斗争。)”可知作者在报名课程之前内心充满了自我怀疑和纠结，她对自己作为五个孩子的单身母亲且已五十岁还要去追求梦想这件事感到不安，体现出她的焦虑和不自信；根据倒数第三段中“Not only did he not tell me that I was the wrong type of person to play the drums, but he praised me for holding the sticks well and following along with him. ‘You are fine. I see so much potential in you,’  he told me. I felt full of excitement and energy. (他不仅没有告诉我我不是打鼓的合适人选，反而称赞我鼓槌握得好，能跟上他的节奏。“你很好。我在你身上看到了很大的潜力。”他对我说。我感到充满了兴奋和活力。)”可知，老师的表扬让作者感受到了认可，她从内心的不安转变为充满兴奋和能量，变得自信起来。故答案为Before taking the class, she was worried/anxious and not confident. After she took the first class, she became confident. /She changed from being nervous and hesitant to being energetic and confident. 【68题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In my head, I could hear the words my kids kept telling me, ‘Do it, Mom. You never do anything for yourself. Just follow your dream.’ (在我的脑海里，我能听到孩子们一直对我说的话：“去做吧，妈妈。你从来不为自己做任何事情。只要追随你的梦想。”)”可知，孩子的这些话语不断在作者脑海中回响，成为她鼓起勇气报名课程的重要动力，鼓励她去追求自己的梦想及根据倒数第三段中“Not only did he not tell me that I was the wrong type of person to play the drums, but he praised me for holding the sticks well and following along with him. ‘You are fine. I see so much potential in you,’ he told me. (他不仅没有告诉我我不是打鼓的合适人选，反而称赞我鼓槌握得好，能跟上他的节奏。“你很好。我在你身上看到了很大的潜力。”他对我说。)”可知，老师积极的反馈和对作者的肯定，让她在原本紧张的状态下放松下来，并且激发了她内心的自信和活力，使她发生了很大的改变。故答案为Because her kids encouraged her and the drum teacher praised her for her performance. /Because her kids and drum teacher gave her much support. 【69题详解】 开放性试题。根据倒数第二段中“Walking back to my car, I remembered how many times I had driven my kids to their competitions and had proudly watched them bravely perform in public. Maybe one day I would have the chance to stand on the stage. (我曾开车送我的孩子们去参加比赛，并自豪地看着他们勇敢地在公众面前表演。也许有一天我也会有机会站在舞台上。)”及最后一段“I started the car and couldn’t wait to go back home. (我发动了汽车，迫不及待地想回家。)”可以推测，她想起了自己观看孩子比赛时的自豪，对自己未来站在舞台上也充满期待，并且迫不及待回家。由此合理推断她可能会与孩子分享自己在课上的经历、内心的兴奋和快乐，因为孩子是鼓励她追求梦想的重要人物；她也可能会感谢孩子，因为是孩子的鼓励让她迈出了这一步；同时，基于她对课程的积极感受，她也有继续练习打鼓的可能性，以期待未来能实现站在舞台上的梦想。故答案为She would share her experience/excitement/happiness with her kids in the class and continue to practice. /She would thank her children for encouraging her to follow her dream bravely. 第五部分 写作(共一节，满分20分) 70. 假定你是校学生会主席李华，最近，你注意到校园中存在乱扔垃圾、浪费资源等现象。请你给校报英语专栏写一封倡议书，呼吁大家共建一个环保型校园。内容包括： 1．倡议的目的； 2．采取的措施； 3．你的希望。 注意： 1．写作词数应为80左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear fellow students, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Students’ Union 【答案】Dear fellow students, Recently it’s common to see some uncivilized practices on campus such as littering and wasting resources.

I can't tell you how many time someone has said to me, man, what a kick job. I mean, you only work four hours a day. It's true that I do a morning program from six AM to ten AM, but IT isn't all my working time. Each day I get up at two OKM. Then I take a quick shower and sit down at my computer. I collect program information and up data program's website until four thirty AM. I arrived at the radio station at five AM and spend the next hour preparing, recording and so on. The program begins at six AM and goes until ten AM. After that, often I can walk out soon, but sometimes there are meetings. Then I go home and answer program emails, have lunch and have a short rest. Then at about four pm, I began preparing for my next day. IT really last two hours. So the four hour day work timetable is much longer than most people think. Luckily, I really enjoy what I do. It's not only my work, but also my hobby.
