We’ll play games, do sports, and even sing. M: That sounds good! But I’ll leave the singing to the adults.

A. had it repaired B. was repairing C. repaired D. had had repaired 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查时态和固定短语。句意：Mrs. Jones很生气，因为她已经修好的扫地机又坏了。她使扫地机被修，have sth. done是固定短语，意为“使某物被……”，修理扫地机的动作在was annoyed前发生，因此空格处是had had repaired，其中“had had”为过去完成时助动词（第一个“had”表时态，第二个“had”为使役动词），表示“在‘was annoyed’之前已经让别人完成修理”；正确因时态符合动作先后顺序（修理先于机器出问题），且“have something repaired”结构准确表达“安排他人修理”的被动含义，与“again”（再次）呼应。故选D。 15. As a result of the powerful hurricane, about two-thirds of the buildings in that state ________. A. require to repair B. require repairing C. require to be repairing D. require repaired 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查时态，固定短语和主谓一致。句意：由于强飓风的影响，该州大约三分之二的建筑需要修复。sth. require doing是固定短语，意为“某物需要被……”，动名词的主动表被动。句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语是复数，require用原形，故选B。 16. The old black woman used to tell stories under the tall tree, her grandchildren ________ around and ________ attentively. A. seating; listening B. seated; listened C. seating; listened D. seated; listening 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：黑人老太太经常在高大的树下讲故事，她的孙子们围坐在一起，认真地听着。her grandchildren ______ around and ______attentively是独立主格， 在句中作状语， 逻辑主语her grandchildren与动词seat是动宾关系，所以用seat用过去分词表被动；第二空listen和逻辑主语her grandchildren是主谓关系，listen用现在分词表主动，故选D项。 17. Montreal is the second largest French-speaking city in the world, ________. A. Paris is the largest B. Paris being the largest C. Paris to be the largest D. Paris be the largest 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查独立主格结构。句意：蒙特利尔是世界上第二大法语城市，巴黎是最大的法语城市。逗号前面的是句子，但是两句话之间没有连词，说明后面不是句子，是独立主格结构，Paris 和be动词是主动关系，用逻辑主语Paris+being构成独立主格结构。故选B。 18. It was in my senior high school ________ I once studied 9 subjects ________ I made great progress in many aspects. A. that; that B. where; when C. that; when D. where; that 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句和强调句。句意：正是在我曾经学习了9个科目的高中，我在许多方面取得了很大的进步。第一空为定语从句修饰先行词senior high school，在从句作地点状语，故用where；第二空为强调句：it was+被强调部分+that/who，被强调部分为in my senior high school where I once studied 9 subjects，应用that。故选D。 19.

Our English teacher told us to form a habit of reading every day, _______, we think, will benefit us in the long run. A. which B. that C. when D. where 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：我们的英语老师告诉我们要养成每天阅读的习惯，我们认为从长远来看，这对我们是有益的。分析句子结构可知，we think是插入语，空格处引导非限制性定语从句，关系词指代前面的一件事，用关系代词which引导非限定性定语从句。故选A。 21. This morning I picked up a wallet and I traced the person______it belonged according to the information on a card in the wallet. A. of which B. to which C. of whom D. to whom 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：今天早上我捡到一个钱包，根据钱包里卡片上的信息，我找到了钱包的主人。分析句子结构可知，此处为“介词+which/whom”引导的定语从句，先行词the person指人，所以关系代词使用whom，根据固定短语belong to意为“属于”可知，此处介词to提前，所以此处为“to whom”引导的定语从句。故选D项。 22. The Spring Festival is a unique occasion for all Chinese to unite with families, ______ people will cover a thousand miles to return to hometowns. A. in which B. with whom C. for which D. for whom 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：句意： 春节是所有中国人团聚的独特时刻，为了这个时刻，人们会不远千里返回家乡。先行词为occasion，在非限制性定语从句中作宾语，关系代词为which，表示“为了这一时刻”，介词为for。故选C项。 23. They ________ the sunny weather and went hiking.

The trip was improvisational (即兴的). I didn’t have a credit card. I had no idea where I’d be staying nor how long this trip would take. And I’d never written a travel book before. I hoped my trip wouldn’t suffer a lot, though it was obviously a leap in the dark. I set off with one small bag containing clothes, a map of Asia, a travel guidebook and some travelers’ cheques. I was often inconvenienced, sometimes threatened, now and then disturbed for bribes, occasionally laid up with food poisoning—all this vivid detail for my narrative. What I repeated in the more than four-month trip was the pleasure of the sleeping car. Writing on board the Khyber Mail to Lahore in Pakistan, “The romance associated with the sleeping car comes from the fact that it is extremely private, combining the best features of a cupboard with forward movement. Whatever drama is being shown in this moving bedroom is heightened by the landscape passing the window...” A train is a carrier that allows residence. I wrote The Great Railway Bazaar on my return in 1974, and it appeared to good reviews and quick sales. That’s the past. Nothing is the same. All travel is time-related. All such trips are singular and unrepeatable. It’s not just that the steam trains of Asia are gone, but much of the peace and order is gone. Who’d risk an Iranian train now or take a bus through Afghanistan? But I’ve been surprised by some of the more recent developments in travel. I rode on Chinese trains for a year and wrote Riding the Iron Rooster, but now China has much cleaner and swifter trains and modernized destinations. A traveler today could take the same trip I took in 1986—1987 and produce a completely different book. All travel books are dated. That’s their fault that they’re outdated, and it’s their virtue that they preserve something of the past that would otherwise be lost. 27. What happened at the beginning of the author’s trip to Asia? A. He made full preparations for the trip. B. He had expected the journey to be rough. C. He organized the trip with his family’s support. D. He started the trip out of his passion for traveling. 28. Why did the author repeatedly recall the sleeping car? A. For its romantic scenery. B. For its reassuring privacy. C. For its full equipment. D. For its long distance. 29. What did the author try to convey by saying “Nothing is the same”? A. The landscape in Asia was gone. B. Train trip was no longer popular. C. He couldn’t write another bestseller. D. Transportation and travel had changed a lot. 30. Which of the following statements would the author most likely agree with? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Sharp tools make good work. C. Travel, truth is not the arrival card. D. The journey, not the arrival matters. 【答案】27 B 28. B 29. D 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本篇是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章主要讲述了作者早年坐火车旅行并写旅行书籍的事迹，引发了作者对时代变迁和旅行的思考。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的“I didn’t have a credit card. I had no idea where I’d be staying nor how long this trip would take. And I’d never written a travel book before. I hoped my trip wouldn’t suffer a lot, though it was obviously a leap in the dark.(我没有信用卡。我不知道我会住在哪里，也不知道这次旅行要花多长时间。我以前从未写过一本旅游书籍。我希望我的旅行不要太痛苦，尽管这显然是一次冒险。)”可知，作者并未对这个旅行做好充分的规划和打算，且准备不足，因此他期望旅途不要遭受太多苦难，由此推知，他预料到旅途的辛苦。故选B项。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“The romance associated with the sleeping car comes from the fact that it is extremely private(卧铺车厢的浪漫之处在于它非常私密)”可知，作者认为卧铺车厢私密性好，这是作者一再提及卧铺车厢的原因。故选B项。 【29题详解】 词义猜测题。该句前文“That’s the past.(那是过去的事了。)”讲到上面所讲述的有关火车的美好经历都已经是过去的事了，而该句后文内容“All travel is time-related. All such trips are singular and unrepeatable. It’s not just that the steam trains of Asia are gone, but much of the peace and order is gone.(所有的旅行都与时间有关。所有这些旅行都是独一无二的，不可重复的。不仅是亚洲的蒸汽火车消失了，而且大部分的和平与秩序也消失了。)”则讲到随着时间和社会的发展，旅行以及旅行方式也随之发生了变化，交通工具不一样了，和平秩序也消失了。由此可知，作者想通过“Nothing is the same”这句话表达“交通方式和旅行本身都随着时间（社会）的发展而变化了很多”这一含义。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段内容“All travel books are dated. That’s their fault that they’re outdated, and it’s their virtue that they preserve something of the past that would otherwise be lost.(所有的旅行书籍都注明了日期。这是它们的错，它们已经过时了，它们的美德是它们保留了一些原本会丢失的过去。)”可知，在作者看来，旅行书籍具有时效性，会过时，其记录下来的旅途过程会成为一种“过去”，这反而是其值得珍惜的地方，因为过去会被遗忘，而这个对旅途过程的记录会将“过去”保存。由此可推知，作者认为旅途过程才是真正意义所在。因此，作者应是同意选项D“The journey, not the arrival matters.(重要的是旅程，而不是到达。)”的观点。故选D项。 C Behind the enthusiastic song of an all male choir lies a force that is better known for shaping the lives of hopeful frogs and crickets, research suggests. Recordings of a top boys’ choir, once directed by Johann Sebastian Bach in Germany, reveal that the more mature boys in the group boosted their voices when girls were appreciating their performances. The effect, seen only among the older singers, aged 16 to 19, is thought to be similar behaviour more often observed in frogs and crickets, which enhance their individual calls to stand out from the crowd during mate-attracting choruses. “The boys’ singing sounds more brilliant and has a more attractive quality when girls are in the audience, but it is subtle,” said Keller, a professor who led the work at the centre for music in the brain at a university in Denmark. Keller and his colleagues learned up with a well-known choir in Germany after a student and former member of the choir mentioned that the boys boosted their voices in a barely noticeable manner when female audience members were present. Sound analysis of the boys singing a song composed by Bach found that, in the presence of girls aged 15 to 16, the boy’s improved their vocal brilliance and carried power by putting more energy. But it was unclear whether people, as opposed to sensitive sound devices, could detect the shift in voices, and if they could, whether the resulting sound was more or less appealing because of the enhanced singer’s performance. To find out, the researchers ran two online studies in which 2, 247 male and female volunteers listened to recordings of the boys singing with and without girls in the audience. While both male and female participants showed a difference between the two performances, only female volunteers preferred the boosted singing. “It’s really hard to tell,” Keller said. Details are published in a journal. For the recordings, the boys performed once before an all-male audience and a second time when a group of teenage girls joined the front row on the pretence of being on a school trip. In interviews after the concert, the boys felt they sang better in front of the girls but none admitted trying to attract their attention. According to the scientists, the findings suggest choir singing is a special form of social communication where cooperation and competitiveness, the latter potentially motivated by the opposite sex, can exist alongside one another. “You have a group of people working together, said Keller, “but at the same time individually having this parallel channel of communication, sending out the competitive signal saying: pick me!” 31. What drives the mature boys to sing better? A. Their directors. B. Their audience. C. The frogs. D. The crickets. 32. What does the underlined word “subtle” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Brilliant. B. Competitive. C. Unforgettable. D. Unnoticeable. 33. How did Keller’s team carry out the research? A. By observing the singers. B. By studying online documents. C. By doing field research. D. By conducting studies online. 34. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Cooperation or competition B. Force behind boy’s choir C. Research into the choir D. The audience effect 【答案】31. B 32. D 33. D 34. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是一项关于男童合唱团在异性听众面前表现更佳现象的研究及其背后潜在的生物学和社会行为意义。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Recordings of a top boys’ choir, once directed by Johann Sebastian Bach in Germany, reveal that the more mature boys in the group boosted their voices when girls were appreciating their performances.(由约翰・塞巴斯蒂安・巴赫曾指导过的一个顶尖男孩合唱团的录音显示，当女孩们欣赏他们的表演时，合唱团中更成熟的男孩会提高他们的音量。)”可知，当有女孩欣赏他们的表演时，较为成熟的男孩会提高他们的嗓音，唱得更好，所以是观众（女孩）促使这些成熟男孩唱得更好。故选B项。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Keller and his colleagues learned up with a well-known choir in Germany after a student and former member of the choir mentioned that the boys boosted their voices in a barely noticeable manner when female audience members were present.( 在一名学生兼该合唱团前成员提到男孩们在有女性观众在场时会以一种几乎不易察觉的方式提高嗓音后，凯勒和他的同事联系上了德国一个著名的合唱团。)”以及第三段“But it was unclear whether people, as opposed to sensitive sound devices, could detect the shift in voices(但尚不清楚的是，人们是否能像高灵敏度的声音设备一样，察觉到声音的变化。)”可知，男孩们在女孩面前提升嗓音的方式几乎不被注意到，所以划线单词的意思与“不明显的，难以察觉的”意义相近。故选D项。 33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“To find out, the researchers ran two online studies in which 2, 247 male and female volunteers listened to recordings of the boys singing with and without girls in the audience.(为了找出答案，研究人员进行了两项在线研究，2247 名男女志愿者分别听了有女孩观众和没有女孩观众时男孩们演唱的录音。)”可知，Keller的团队是通过开展在线研究，让志愿者听男孩在不同观众情况下演唱的录音来进行研究的。故选D项。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段中的“Behind the enthusiastic song of an all male choir lies a force that is better known for shaping the lives of hopeful frogs and crickets, research suggests. Recordings of a top boys’ choir, once directed by Johann Sebastian Bach in Germany, reveal that the more mature boys in the group boosted their voices when girls were appreciating their performances.(研究表明，在一支全由男性组成的合唱团热情洋溢的歌声背后，隐藏着一种更常见于塑造青蛙和蟋蟀生命的神秘力量。研究中分析了一支曾由约翰·塞巴斯蒂安·巴赫在德国指导的顶尖男童合唱团的录音，结果显示，年龄较大的男孩（16至19岁）在有女孩欣赏他们表演时，会不自觉地提高自己的声音。)”以及下文中对该项研究的介绍可知，文章主要讲述了研究发现男孩合唱团在有女孩观众时，年龄较大的男孩会提升嗓音，且这种现象背后的原因以及研究过程，所以“男孩合唱团背后的力量”能够概括文章主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选B项。 D Every time AI drafts an e-mail or an image, the planet pays for it. Making two images can consume as much energy as charging a smartphone. By 2027, the global AI industry could annually consume as much electricity as the Netherlands. And a new study identifies another concern: generative AI applications alone could add 1.2 million to five million tons of this harmful trash to the planet by 2030. Such a contribution would add to the tens of millions of tons of electronic products the globe abandons annually. Cell phones, computers and other digital products often contain mercury (汞), lead or other poisons. When improperly disposed of, they can pollute air, water and soil. In 2022, about 78% of the world’s e-waste end up in landfills or at unofficial recycling sites, where laborers risk their health to clean up rare metals. The AI boom rapidly consumes data storage devices and high-performance components, which are usually replaced when new versions are available. To calculate the e-waste contribution, researchers examined hardware use, lifespan, and the industry’s growth rate. Their prediction is an estimate that could change based on various factors. This study’s biggest value comes from its attention to AI’s broad environmental impacts, says Shaolei Ren, a researcher at the University of California, Riverside. “We might want AI companies to slow down a bit,” he says. Few countries mandate (强制) the proper disposal of e-waste, and those that do often fail to carry out their existing laws on it. Twenty-five U. S. states have e-waste management policies, but there is no federal law that requires electronics recycling. Thankfully, some companies claim to be taking independent action. Microsoft and Google have committed to reaching net zero waste and net zero emissions respectively by 2030. They have many options to limit e-waste. It’s possible to squeeze more life out of servers, for instance, through regular maintenance and updates or by shifting worn-out devices to less-intensive applications. These strategies are vital to reduce e-waste and benefit society, the study authors estimate. 35. What can be inferred from Paragraph 1? A. The Netherlands consumes too much electricity. B. The disadvantages of AI outweigh the advantages. C. The environmental footprint of AI is alarmingly extensive. D. AI’s energy-related issues largely result from image-making. 36. What is Shaolei Ren’s attitude toward the growth of AI companies? A. Critical. B. Positive. C. Cautious. D. Ambiguous. 37. What is the key to reducing e-waste? A. Adjusting AI application frequency. B. Prioritizing smartphone recycling. C. Banning the overuse of AI completely. D. Adopting device-lifespan-extending measures. 38. What is the best title for the text? A. AI May Worsen the E-waste Crisis B. E-waste Calls for Proper Use of AI C. E-waste Problems Mostly Blame on AI D. AI and E-waste Always Go Hand in Hand 【答案】35. C 36. C 37. D 38. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是人工智能发展带来的电子垃圾问题及其对环境的潜在影响。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Every time AI drafts an e-mail or an image, the planet pays for it. Making two images can consume as much energy as charging a smartphone. By 2027, the global AI industry could annually consume as much electricity as the Netherlands. And a new study identifies another concern: generative AI applications alone could add 1.2 million to five million tons of this harmful trash to the planet by 2030.(每次人工智能起草电子邮件或生成图像时，地球都要为此付出代价。生成两张图像所消耗的能量相当于给智能手机充电。到 2027 年，全球人工智能行业每年消耗的电力可能与荷兰相当。一项新的研究发现了另一个问题：仅生成式人工智能应用程序到2030年就可能给地球增加120万至500万吨这种有害垃圾。)”可知，人工智能对环境的影响广泛且令人担忧，其环境足迹非常大。故选C项。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“This study’s biggest value comes from its attention to AI’s broad environmental impacts, says Shaolei Ren, a researcher at the University of California, Riverside. “We might want AI companies to slow down a bit,” he says.(加州大学河滨分校的研究员任少雷表示，这项研究的最大价值在于它关注人工智能对环境的广泛影响。他说：“我们可能希望人工智能公司放慢一点发展速度。”)”可知，任少雷认为人工智能对环境有广泛影响，希望人工智能公司放慢发展速度，他对人工智能公司的发展持谨慎态度。故选C项。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Thankfully, some companies claim to be taking independent action. Microsoft and Google have committed to reaching net zero waste and net zero emissions respectively by 2030. They have many options to limit e-waste. It’s possible to squeeze more life out of servers, for instance, through regular maintenance and updates or by shifting worn-out devices to less-intensive applications. These strategies are vital to reduce e-waste and benefit society, the study authors estimate.(值得庆幸的是，一些公司声称正在采取独立行动。微软和谷歌分别承诺到 2030 年实现零垃圾和零排放。他们有很多限制电子垃圾的方法。例如，通过定期维护和更新，或者将陈旧设备用于强度较低的应用程序，可以延长服务器的使用寿命。研究作者估计，这些策略对于减少电子垃圾和造福社会至关重要。)”可知，通过对服务器进行定期维护、更新或把旧设备用于低强度应用等延长设备寿命的措施对减少电子垃圾至关重要。故选D项。 【38题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段“And a new study identifies another concern: generative AI applications alone could add 1.2 million to five million tons of this harmful trash to the planet by 2030.(一项新的研究还指出另一个令人担忧的问题：仅生成式AI的应用就可能在2030年前向地球增加120万至500万吨这种有害的垃圾。)”可知，人工智能对环境的影响广泛且令人担忧，结合下文介绍的人工智能产生的电子垃圾对环境带来的影响以及人类对此采取的措施可知，文章主要讲述了人工智能在能耗和电子垃圾方面对环境产生的影响，人工智能会消耗大量电力，产生大量电子垃圾，所以“人工智能可能会加剧电子垃圾危机”概括了文章的主题，适合作为最佳标题。故选A项。 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。 Aesthetic (审美) education aims to enhance aesthetic perception, experience aesthetic qualities, stimulate aesthetic creativity, and promote aesthetic judgement.

This is why the development of the ability to notice the beautiful is the primary task of aesthetic education. ____39____ Kids are incapable of noticing particular shapes if their ability to notice object s and forms is undeveloped. The aesthetic relationship begins with the noticing of aesthetic qualities. ____40____ This means that they generate emotional responses like excitement and joy, enriching individuals’ emotional lives and inspiring artistic expression. The ability to experience aesthetically must also be developed. The cognitive (认知的) elements of the processes that we experience during noticing must also include emotional tones with which we form impressions. ____41____ The aim of this task is, with the aid of aesthetic qualities, to enrich the emotional life of children and young people and the development of a sense for aesthetic values. It is essential to allow children to participate in activities that will develop their creative abilities. ____42____ Instead, it is about creativity in the creation of aesthetic values in everyday life. We are not simply born with creative abilities which have to be developed. Judging or evaluating aesthetic qualities demands formed evaluation criteria. In order for beauty to reveal its true value, we must be familiar with its particularities. Throughout the process of aesthetic education, various types of knowledge, abilities and evaluation criteria must be applied. ____43____ A. Aesthetic qualities have to be felt. B. Beauty can be found all around us. C. The beautiful will be likely to be created. D. And it is these that the aesthetic experience is built upon. E.

F 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述了审美教育如何促进人们的审美感知、体验美学品质、激发创造力、推动审美能力的发展。 【39题详解】 根据上文的“In order for kids to be able to appreciate natural wonders, shapes and pictures, they must be able to first notice them. This is why the development of the ability to notice the beautiful is the primary task of aesthetic education. (为了让孩子们能够欣赏自然奇观、形状和图片，他们必须首先能够注意到它们。因此，培养对美的鉴赏能力是美育的首要任务。)”和下文的“Kids are incapable of noticing particular shapes if their ability to notice object s and forms is undeveloped. The aesthetic relationship begins with the noticing of aesthetic qualities. (如果孩子注意物体和形状的能力没有得到发展，他们就不能注意到特定的形状。审美关系从审美品质的注意开始。)”可知，B项(美在我们身边随处可见。)承接上文，指出了培养孩子对美的鉴赏能力才能够让孩子去发现身边的美，下文从反向的角度说明孩子没有鉴赏能力就不能欣赏美的东西，故选B项。 【40题详解】 根据下文的“This means that they generate emotional responses like excitement and joy, enriching individuals’ emotional lives and inspiring artistic expression. (这意味着它们会产生兴奋和喜悦等情感反应，丰富个人的情感生活，激发艺术表达。)”可知，A项(必须要体会到审美品质。)的这个要求得到了下文的解释，指出了孩子要能够产生愉快的情感反应，这是审美品质的一种要求，故选A项。 【41题详解】 根据上文的“The ability to experience aesthetically must also be developed. The cognitive elements of the processes that we experience during noticing must also include emotional tones with which we form impressions.  (审美体验的能力也必须得到发展。我们在注意过程中所经历的认知因素也必须包括我们形成印象的情感基调。)”和下文的“The aim of this task is, with the aid of aesthetic qualities, to enrich the emotional life of children and young people and the development of a sense for aesthetic values. (这项任务的目的是在审美素质的帮助下，丰富儿童和青少年的情感生活，培养审美价值。)”可知，D项(审美经验正是建立在这些基础之上的。)承接上文，说明了审美经验的获得是建立在形成印象的认知过程的基础上，下文指出了审美经验被获得后的价值所在，故选D项。 【42题详解】 根据上文的“It is essential to allow children to participate in activities that will develop their creative abilities. (让孩子们参加能发展他们创造能力的活动是很重要的。)”和下文的“Instead, it is about creativity in the creation of aesthetic values in everyday life. We are not simply born with creative abilities which have to be developed. (相反，它是关于在日常生活中创造审美价值的创造力。我们并不是天生就有需要培养的创造能力。)”可知，G项(这并不是说要培养艺术家的审美能力。)承接上文，说明了不是要把孩子的创造能力打造成艺术家的水准，而是要让孩子在日常生活中有发现美的能力，故选G项。 【43题详解】 根据上文的“Judging or evaluating aesthetic qualities demands formed evaluation criteria. In order for beauty to reveal its true value, we must be familiar with its particularities. Throughout the process of aesthetic education, various types of knowledge, abilities and evaluation criteria must be applied. (判断或评价审美品质需要形成评价标准。为了使美显示出它的真正价值，我们必须熟悉它的特殊性。在整个美育过程中，必须运用各种知识、能力和评价标准。)”可知，F项(这样，孩子就会发展出判断美的基础。)承接上文，说明了制定合理的评价标准有利于培养孩子的审美能力，故选F项。 第四部分 语言运用(满分30分) 第一节 完型填空 (共15小题; 每小题1分, 满分15分) 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 It was a busy morning for me.

B Just about 50 years ago, needing money to support my family—my novels weren’t bestsellers—I had the idea of taking the longest train trip imaginable and writing a travel book about it. The trip was improvisational (即兴的). I didn’t have a credit card. I had no idea where I’d be staying nor how long this trip would take. And I’d never written a travel book before. I hoped my trip wouldn’t suffer a lot, though it was obviously a leap in the dark. I set off with one small bag containing clothes, a map of Asia, a travel guidebook and some travelers’ cheques. I was often inconvenienced, sometimes threatened, now and then disturbed for bribes, occasionally laid up with food poisoning—all this vivid detail for my narrative. What I repeated in the more than four-month trip was the pleasure of the sleeping car. Writing on board the Khyber Mail to Lahore in Pakistan, “The romance associated with the sleeping car comes from the fact that it is extremely private, combining the best features of a cupboard with forward movement. Whatever drama is being shown in this moving bedroom is heightened by the landscape passing the window...” A train is a carrier that allows residence. I wrote The Great Railway Bazaar on my return in 1974, and it appeared to good reviews and quick sales. That’s the past. Nothing is the same. All travel is time-related. All such trips are singular and unrepeatable. It’s not just that the steam trains of Asia are gone, but much of the peace and order is gone. Who’d risk an Iranian train now or take a bus through Afghanistan? But I’ve been surprised by some of the more recent developments in travel. I rode on Chinese trains for a year and wrote Riding the Iron Rooster, but now China has much cleaner and swifter trains and modernized destinations. A traveler today could take the same trip I took in 1986—1987 and produce a completely different book. All travel books are dated. That’s their fault that they’re outdated, and it’s their virtue that they preserve something of the past that would otherwise be lost. 27. What happened at the beginning of the author’s trip to Asia? A. He made full preparations for the trip. B. He had expected the journey to be rough. C. He organized the trip with his family’s support. D. He started the trip out of his passion for traveling. 28. Why did the author repeatedly recall the sleeping car? A. For its romantic scenery. B. For its reassuring privacy. C. For its full equipment. D. For its long distance. 29. What did the author try to convey by saying “Nothing is the same”? A. The landscape in Asia was gone. B. Train trip was no longer popular. C. He couldn’t write another bestseller. D. Transportation and travel had changed a lot. 30. Which of the following statements would the author most likely agree with? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Sharp tools make good work. C. Travel, truth is not the arrival card. D. The journey, not the arrival matters. C Behind the enthusiastic song of an all male choir lies a force that is better known for shaping the lives of hopeful frogs and crickets research suggests. Recordings of a top boys’ choir, once directed by Johann Sebastian Bach in Germany, reveal that the more mature boys in the group boosted their voices when girls were appreciating their performances. The effect, seen only among the older singers, aged 16 to 19, is thought to be similar behaviour more often observed in frogs and crickets, which enhance their individual calls to stand out from the crowd during mate-attracting choruses. “The boys’ singing sounds more brilliant and has a more attractive quality when girls are in the audience, but it is subtle,” said Keller, a professor who led the work at the centre for music in the brain at a university in Denmark. Keller and his colleagues learned up with a well-known choir in Germany after a student and former member of the choir mentioned that the boys boosted their voices in a barely noticeable manner when female audience members were present. Sound analysis of the boys singing a song composed by Bach found that, in the presence of girls aged 15 to 16, the boy’s improved their vocal brilliance and carried power by putting more energy. But it was unclear whether people, as opposed to sensitive sound devices, could detect the shift in voices, and if they could, whether the resulting sound was more or less appealing because of the enhanced singer’s performance. To find out, the researchers ran two online studies in which 2, 247 male and female volunteers listened to recordings of the boys singing with and without girls in the audience. While both male and female participants showed a difference between the two performances, only female volunteers preferred the boosted singing. “It’s really hard to tell,” Keller said. Details are published in a journal. For the recordings, the boys performed once before an all-male audience and a second time when a group of teenage girls joined the front row on the pretence of being on a school trip. In interviews after the concert, the boys felt they sang better in front of the girls but none admitted trying to attract their attention. According to the scientists, the findings suggest choir singing is a special form of social communication where cooperation and competitiveness, the latter potentially motivated by the opposite sex, can exist alongside one another. “You have a group of people working together, said Keller, “but at the same time individually having this parallel channel of communication, sending out the competitive signal saying: pick me!” 31. What drives the mature boys to sing better? A. Their directors. B. Their audience. C. The frogs. D. The crickets. 32. What does the underlined word “subtle” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Brilliant. B. Competitive. C. Unforgettable. D. Unnoticeable. 33. How did Keller’s team carry out the research? A. By observing the singers. B By studying online documents. C. By doing field research. D. By conducting studies online. 34. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Cooperation or competition B. Force behind boy’s choir C. Research into the choir D. The audience effect D Every time AI drafts an e-mail or an image, the planet pays for it. Making two images can consume as much energy as charging a smartphone. By 2027, the global AI industry could annually consume as much electricity as the Netherlands. And a new study identifies another concern: generative AI applications alone could add 1.2 million to five million tons of this harmful trash to the planet by 2030. Such a contribution would add to the tens of millions of tons of electronic products the globe abandons annually. Cell phones, computers and other digital products often contain mercury (汞), lead or other poisons. When improperly disposed of, they can pollute air, water and soil. In 2022, about 78% of the world’s e-waste end up in landfills or at unofficial recycling sites, where laborers risk their health to clean up rare metals. The AI boom rapidly consumes data storage devices and high-performance components, which are usually replaced when new versions are available. To calculate the e-waste contribution, researchers examined hardware use, lifespan, and the industry’s growth rate. Their prediction is an estimate that could change based on various factors. This study’s biggest value comes from its attention to AI’s broad environmental impacts, says Shaolei Ren, a researcher at the University of California, Riverside. “We might want AI companies to slow down a bit,” he says. Few countries mandate (强制) the proper disposal of e-waste, and those that do often fail to carry out their existing laws on it. Twenty-five U. S. states have e-waste management policies, but there is no federal law that requires electronics recycling. Thankfully, some companies claim to be taking independent action. Microsoft and Google have committed to reaching net zero waste and net zero emissions respectively by 2030. They have many options to limit e-waste. It’s possible to squeeze more life out of servers, for instance, through regular maintenance and updates or by shifting worn-out devices to less-intensive applications. These strategies are vital to reduce e-waste and benefit society, the study authors estimate. 35 What can be inferred from Paragraph 1? A. The Netherlands consumes too much electricity. B. The disadvantages of AI outweigh the advantages. C. The environmental footprint of AI is alarmingly extensive. D. AI’s energy-related issues largely result from image-making. 36. What is Shaolei Ren’s attitude toward the growth of AI companies? A. Critical. B. Positive. C. Cautious. D. Ambiguous. 37. What is the key to reducing e-waste? A. Adjusting AI application frequency. B. Prioritizing smartphone recycling. C. Banning the overuse of AI completely. D. Adopting device-lifespan-extending measures. 38. What is the best title for the text? A. AI May Worsen the E-waste Crisis B. E-waste Calls for Proper Use of AI C. E-waste Problems Mostly Blame on AI D. AI and E-waste Always Go Hand in Hand 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。 Aesthetic (审美) education aims to enhance aesthetic perception, experience aesthetic qualities, stimulate aesthetic creativity, and promote aesthetic judgement. In order for kids to be able to appreciate natural wonders, shapes and pictures, they must be able to first notice them. This is why the development of the ability to notice the beautiful is the primary task of aesthetic education. ____39____ Kids are incapable of noticing particular shapes if their ability to notice object s and forms is undeveloped.

The cognitive (认知的) elements of the processes that we experience during noticing must also include emotional tones with which we form impressions. ____41____ The aim of this task is, with the aid of aesthetic qualities, to enrich the emotional life of children and young people and the development of a sense for aesthetic values. It is essential to allow children to participate in activities that will develop their creative abilities. ____42____ Instead, it is about creativity in the creation of aesthetic values in everyday life. We are not simply born with creative abilities which have to be developed. Judging or evaluating aesthetic qualities demands formed evaluation criteria. In order for beauty to reveal its true value, we must be familiar with its particularities.
