Growing up in Kansas, US, Erin Brockovich struggled in school and recalls feelings overcome by learning even as early as the second grade. Like many others with learning struggles, she wasn’t diagnosed until adulthood, so additional resources weren’t made available to her.
Erin credits one teacher in particular, Ms Borseff, with causing major change in her life. This teacher was the first to notice that Erin understood the coursework even though she consistently failed written exams. Trying to strategize creatively, Ms Borseff verbally presented exam questions to her and convinced the other teachers to do the same. Erin passed the tests with flying colors!
Instantly, both her self-respect and self-value increased greatly. Ms Borseff found this minor change to be the crucial first key in helping Erin unlock her potential in learning. Erin knew she was capable of learning, as did Ms Borseff, so working together toward her goals helped empower her to learn. She decided right then to never let her disability stop her from reaching her goals. Erin continued her education based on her passions and successfully completed community college. Later she became a legal clerk, and her diligent work on the lawsuit against Pacific Gas and Electric helped bring about the largest settlement in history, totaling $333 million.
Erin is still working as a successful activist to improve the environment. She has gone on to become president of her own law consulting firm. She empowers individuals in trouble with her own struggle stories. Erin has even written a book titled Take it from Me: Life’s a Struggle But You Can Win. She is a passionate advocate for children with learning disabilities and recently opened up about her personal struggles with reading difficulties in the documentary: Journey into Dyslexia.
Erin’s real-world success is in large part due to her experience overcoming reading difficulties. The lessons she learned throughout those hardships directly prepared her to be strong, diligent, determined and creative.

Heading to the beach is a popular option for lots of people on a hot summer's day. It's there that you'll find plenty of sand. But could sand be more important than we've ever realized? A team of scientists have found a very different use for the tiny grains that we like to play with on the beach.
They've come up with a type of measurement which will allow them to figure out what's known as the "age distribution fingerprint" of the mineral zircon, which is found within sand. The researchers believe this could provide them with new information on how the Earth's surface has changed over the last few thousand million years.
Some minerals, like zircon, have stood the test of time, and are thought to carry clues of Earth's history. By studying the zircon found in grains of sand from rivers and rocks, the scientists are able to work out previously hidden details about the Earth's past. "Strong and lasting minerals like zircon paint a vivid picture of the planet's history, including changing environments, the evolution of continents, and the accumulation of mineral resources at ancient p late boundaries," said Dr Milo Barham, who worked on the research. “The world's beaches faithfully record a detailed history of our planet's geological past, with billions of years of Earth's history marked in the geology (地质状况) of each grain of sand and our technique helps unlock the information.”
The scientists tried out their new technique by taking a look at sediment (沉淀物) in South America, East Antarctica, and Western Australia and they found some interesting differences. "The sediment on the west and east coasts of South America is completely different because there are many young grains on the west side that were created beneath the continent. However, on the east coast, all is relatively calm geologically and there is a mix of old and young grains," said professor Chris Kirkland, who also worked on this research.
8. What do the underlined words "a very different use" in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Sand can provide a geological history of the Earth's surface.
B. Sand can reconstruct the conditions of mineral formation.
C. Sand can help discover the age distribution fingerprint.
D. Sand can be used to kill time on a hot summer's day.
9. Why do the scientists choose to study sand?
A. Its cost is extremely low. B. Its zircon is hard and long-lasting.
C. It exists all over the world. D. It's experienced many changes.
10. What can be learnt about South America from the last paragraph?
A. The west coast is relatively calm geologically.
B. The east coast is more active than the west one.
C. Its beaches have revealed the Earth's mysteries.
D. The grains on the west and east coast have different ages.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. History of grains of sand
B. Interesting differences of sediment
C. A new technique will trace the human past
D. Sand can unlock what happened to Earth
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. D

【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“They've come up with a type of measurement which will allow them to figure out what's known as the "age distribution fingerprint" of the mineral zircon, which is found within sand. The researchers believe this could provide them with new information on how the Earth's surface has changed over the last few thousand million years(他们提出了一种测量方法,该方法将使他们能够确定矿物锆石的“年龄分布指纹”,锆石存在于沙粒中。研究人员认为,这可能为他们提供有关地球表面在过去几十亿年中如何变化的新信息。)”可知,沙粒能为他们提供有关地球表面在过去几十亿年中如何变化的新信息,可推理出划线部分指的是该新功能,故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Strong and lasting minerals like zircon paint a vivid picture of the planet's history, including changing environments, the evolution of continents, and the accumulation of mineral resources at ancient p late boundaries(像锆石这样坚固且持久的矿物为地球历史描绘出一幅生动的画面,包括环境变化、大陆演变以及古板块边界的矿物资源积累等。)”可推理出,科学家选择沙子进行研究的原因是其中的锆石矿物坚硬且持久,故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The sediment on the west and east coasts of South America is completely different because there are many young grains on the west side that were created beneath the continent. However, on the east coast, all is relatively calm geologically and there is a mix of old and young grains(南美洲西海岸和东海岸的沉积物完全不同,因为西海岸有许多年轻的沙粒,它们是在大陆下方形成的。然而,在东海岸,地质条件相对平静,沙粒中既有老的也有年轻的)”可推理出,两个海岸的沙子形成的年代不同,故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A team of scientists have found a very different use for the tiny grains that we like to play with on the beach(一组科学家发现了我们对海滩上那些细小沙粒所喜欢的玩法的全新用途)”、第二段“The researchers believe this could provide them with new information on how the Earth's surface has changed over the last few thousand million years(研究人员认为,这可能为他们提供有关地球表面在过去几十亿年中如何变化的新信息。)”、第三段“Some minerals, like zircon, have stood the test of time, and are thought to carry clues of Earth's history.( 一些矿物,如锆石,经受住了时间的考验,并被认为是地球历史的线索。)”以及最后一段“The scientists tried out their new technique by taking a look at sediment(沉淀物)in South America, East Antarctica, and Western Australia and they found some interesting differences.(科学家们通过观察南美洲、东南极和西澳大利亚的沉积物,尝试了他们的新技术,并发现了一些有趣的不同之处。)”可知,本文主要讲的是通过研究河流和岩石中的沙粒里含有的锆石,科学家能够揭示地球在过去历史中被隐藏的细节,故选D项。

Lip-reading involves tracking facial movements to determine what someone is saying. Many lip-reading devices point a camera at the user's face. Others rely on sensors stuck around the speaker's mouth. Neither approach is suitable for daily use, says Ruidong Zhang of Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. His team built a new lip-reading tech on a pair of eyeglasses, which uses acoustics—sound—to recognize silent speech. Zhang presented this work on April 19, 2023 at the ACM Conference in Hamburg, Germany.
"Imagine the sonar system whales use, " says Zhang. They send a sound into their environment and listen for echoes (回声). From those echoes, they locate objects in their surroundings. "Our approach is similar, but not exactly the same," Zhang explains. "We're not just interested in locating something. Instead, we're trying to track moving patterns."
Zhang calls the new tech EchoSpeech, consisting of two small speakers under one lens of a pair of glasses, two small microphones under the other lens, and a circuit board attached to one of the side arms. When EchoSpeech is switched on, its speakers play high-pitched sounds. People can't hear them. The sound waves move in every direction. Some travel around the user's lips and mouth. While speaking, the user's facial movements change the paths of those sound waves. That, in turn, changes the echo patterns picked up by the microphones. These patterns are sent to the wearer's smartphone over Bluetooth. Using AI, an EchoSpeech app then interprets the echo patterns. It matches each pattern to commands the smartphone then follows.
EchoSpeech currently recognizes 31 voice commands and recognizes numbers that are three to six digits long. According to Zhang, future versions could recognize a much larger vocabulary. If so, users could write personal text messages via silent speech. In a noisy restaurant, they could use that approach to send messages to friends who're hard of hearing.
People who've had their vocal cords (声带) removed have been contacting Zhang's team. They want to know if this interface could read their lips and then speak out loud for them. Zhang is now exploring whether EchoSpeech could do this in a person's own voice.
12. Why does Zhang mention the sonar system used by whales in paragraph 2?
A. To make their new tech more convincing.
B. To highlight the advantages of their new tech.
C. To explain the inspiration for their new tech.
D. To make their new tech more understandable.
13. What is the basis for the operation of EchoSpeech?
A. Sound travels in a straight line.
B. One's facial movements are unique.
C. Sound waves are reflected from an object.
D. Microphones are sensitive to loud sound.
14. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?
A. People can hear sounds created by EchoSpeech.
B. EchoSpeech will be put into use before long.
C. EchoSpeech can enhance interpersonal communication.
D. Users can use EchoSpeech to write personal messages.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. New glasses read your lips and tell your phone.
B. Lip-reading devices can understand voice commands.
C. Lip-reading techniques are springing up worldwide.
D. Recognizing silent speech has already become possible.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. A

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一款可以“听懂”人们唇语的新型眼镜。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“"Imagine the sonar system whales use, " says Zhang. They send a sound into their environment and listen for echoes (回声). From those echoes, they locate objects in their surroundings. "Our approach is similar, but not exactly the same," Zhang explains. (张说:“想象一下鲸鱼使用的声纳系统。”它们向周围环境发出声音并倾听回声。通过这些回声,他们可以定位周围环境中的物体。“我们的方法是相似的,但并不完全相同,”张解释道。)”可知,张在第二段提到鲸鱼使用的声纳系统是为了让他们的新技术更容易理解。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The sound waves move in every direction. Some travel around the user's lips and mouth. While speaking, the user's facial movements change the paths of those sound waves. That, in turn, changes the echo patterns picked up by the microphones. These patterns are sent to the wearer's smartphone over Bluetooth. Using AI, an EchoSpeech app then interprets the echo patterns. It matches each pattern to commands the smartphone then follows. (声波向各个方向移动。一些在使用者的嘴唇和嘴巴周围传播。说话时,用户的面部动作会改变声波的路径。这反过来又改变了麦克风接收到的回声模式。这些图案通过蓝牙发送到佩戴者的智能手机。使用人工智能,EchoSpeech应用程序然后解释回声模式。它将每个模式与智能手机的命令相匹配,然后进行操作。)”可知,EchoSpeech工作的基础是声波遇到物体会反弹回来。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“According to Zhang, future versions could recognize a much larger vocabulary. If so, users could write personal text messages via silent speech. In a noisy restaurant, they could use that approach to send messages to friends who're hard of hearing. (张说,未来的版本可以识别更大的词汇。如果是这样,用户可以通过无声语音编写个人短信。在嘈杂的餐厅里,他们可以用这种方法给听力障碍的朋友发信息。)”可知,EchoSpeech可以增强人际沟通。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Neither approach is suitable for daily use, says Ruidong Zhang of Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. His team built a new lip-reading tech on a pair of eyeglasses, which uses acoustics—sound—to recognize silent speech.

第二节 (满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In a small quiet coastal village lived a fisherman named James and his faithful dog, Oliver. Oliver was more than just a pet; he was James's companion and close friend. They spent their days together, out on the fishing boat, with Oliver's ears flapping in the wind.
One day, a terrible storm was brewing, and the villagers urged James to stay onshore. But James needed to go out to sea. Oliver, sensing the danger, barked and whined, trying to stop James. But James reassured Oliver and promised to return safely.
Out at sea, the storm grew fierce. The waves towered, and the wind howled. Hours turned into days, and the villagers lost hope for James's return. Only Oliver waited, day and night, at the end of the pier(码头), eyes fixed on the horizon. Only he refused to give up hope. He knew that James was a strong and experienced sailor, who would do everything he could to survive the storm.
After three agonizing days, a broken boat drifted ashore. The villagers found James, extremely weak but still alive. Oliver's joy knew no bounds; he leaped and danced around James, licking his face and wagging his tail happily. The friendship between the two was evident to everyone.
Time went by, and the incident became a story, but for James and Oliver, it was a life-changing experience. James realized that Oliver's instincts were right, and he vowed never to ignore them again. The relationship between James and Oliver deepened. They understood each other in a way that transcended mere human-animal interaction. Their connection was spiritual, soulful, and strong. But as the years rolled on, Oliver grew old. His movements slowed, and his eyes dimmed. James took care of him with the same love and patience that Oliver had shown him. They spent their last days together, cherishing every moment.
注意:
1.续写词数应为 150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Oliver's last days were peaceful, filled with love and comfort from James.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
James buried Oliver near their favorite spot on the shore, marking it with a wooden cross.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Oliver's last days were peaceful, filled with love and comfort from James. He and James would sit by the shore, Oliver's head resting on James's lap, both soaking in the memories of their shared adventures. The once lively dog's eyes still sparkled with joy when he was with James. When Oliver's time came, he passed away in James's arms, his tail giving one last wag, as if to say goodbye. It was a peaceful farewell.
James buried Oliver near their favorite spot on the shore, marking it with a wooden cross. The enduring legacy of their relationship continued to live in James's heart and the hearts of those who knew their story. Their bond went beyond ordinary companionship, evolving into a symbol of love, loyalty, and friendship. James often visited the grave, feeling that the connection they had was everlasting. Their story continued to inspire villagers, becoming a timeless lesson on the depth of connection between a human and an animal.

Growing up in Kansas, US, Erin Brockovich struggled in school and recalls feelings overcome by learning even as early as the second grade. Like many others with learning struggles, she wasn’t diagnosed until adulthood, so additional resources weren’t made available to her.
Erin credits one teacher in particular, Ms Borseff, with causing major change in her life. This teacher was the first to notice that Erin understood the coursework even though she consistently failed written exams. Trying to strategize creatively, Ms Borseff verbally presented exam questions to her and convinced the other teachers to do the same. Erin passed the tests with flying colors!
Instantly, both her self-respect and self-value increased greatly. Ms Borseff found this minor change to be the crucial first key in helping Erin unlock her potential in learning. Erin knew she was capable of learning, as did Ms Borseff, so working together toward her goals helped empower her to learn. She decided right then to never let her disability stop her from reaching her goals. Erin continued her education based on her passions and successfully completed community college. Later she became a legal clerk, and her diligent work on the lawsuit against Pacific Gas and Electric helped bring about the largest settlement in history, totaling $333 million.
Erin is still working as a successful activist to improve the environment. She has gone on to become president of her own law consulting firm. She empowers individuals in trouble with her own struggle stories. Erin has even written a book titled Take it from Me: Life’s a Struggle But You Can Win. She is a passionate advocate for children with learning disabilities and recently opened up about her personal struggles with reading difficulties in the documentary: Journey into Dyslexia.
Erin’s real-world success is in large part due to her experience overcoming reading difficulties. The lessons she learned throughout those hardships directly prepared her to be strong, diligent, determined and creative.
4. What was the problem facing Erin in childhood?
A She couldn’t read normally.
B. She was unwilling to go to school.
C. She gained few learning resources.
D. She didn’t get along well with her teachers.
5. What did Ms Borseff do most significantly?
A She treated Erin equally.
B. She gave Erin a simpler paper.
C. She adopted a special test mode for Erin.
D. She persuaded the other teachers to sponsor Erin.
6. Which of the following best describes the effect of “this minor change”?
A. Puzzling. B. Predictable. C. Short-lived. D. Far-reaching.
7. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A. Erin is famous in the legal field.
B. Erin inspires people with her stories.
C. Erin becomes a well-known writer.
D. Erin has done a lot for the environment.

Heading to the beach is a popular option for lots of people on a hot summer's day. It's there that you'll find plenty of sand. But could sand be more important than we've ever realized? A team of scientists have found a very different use for the tiny grains that we like to play with on the beach.
They've come up with a type of measurement which will allow them to figure out what's known as the "age distribution fingerprint" of the mineral zircon, which is found within sand. The researchers believe this could provide them with new information on how the Earth's surface has changed over the last few thousand million years.
Some minerals, like zircon, have stood the test of time, and are thought to carry clues of Earth's history. By studying the zircon found in grains of sand from rivers and rocks, the scientists are able to work out previously hidden details about the Earth's past. "Strong and lasting minerals like zircon paint a vivid picture of the planet's history, including changing environments, the evolution of continents, and the accumulation of mineral resources at ancient p late boundaries," said Dr Milo Barham, who worked on the research. “The world's beaches faithfully record a detailed history of our planet's geological past, with billions of years of Earth's history marked in the geology (地质状况) of each grain of sand and our technique helps unlock the information.”
The scientists tried out their new technique by taking a look at sediment (沉淀物) in South America, East Antarctica, and Western Australia and they found some interesting differences. "The sediment on the west and east coasts of South America is completely different because there are many young grains on the west side that were created beneath the continent. However, on the east coast, all is relatively calm geologically and there is a mix of old and young grains," said professor Chris Kirkland, who also worked on this research.

Lip-reading involves tracking facial movements to determine what someone is saying. Many lip-reading devices point a camera at the user's face. Others rely on sensors stuck around the speaker's mouth. Neither approach is suitable for daily use, says Ruidong Zhang of Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. His team built a new lip-reading tech on a pair of eyeglasses, which uses acoustics—sound—to recognize silent speech. Zhang presented this work on April 19, 2023 at the ACM Conference in Hamburg, Germany.
"Imagine the sonar system whales use, " says Zhang. They send a sound into their environment and listen for echoes (回声). From those echoes, they locate objects in their surroundings. "Our approach is similar, but not exactly the same," Zhang explains. "We're not just interested in locating something. Instead, we're trying to track moving patterns."
Zhang calls the new tech EchoSpeech, consisting of two small speakers under one lens of a pair of glasses, two small microphones under the other lens, and a circuit board attached to one of the side arms. When EchoSpeech is switched on, its speakers play high-pitched sounds. People can't hear them. The sound waves move in every direction. Some travel around the user's lips and mouth. While speaking, the user's facial movements change the paths of those sound waves. That, in turn, changes the echo patterns picked up by the microphones. These patterns are sent to the wearer's smartphone over Bluetooth. Using AI, an EchoSpeech app then interprets the echo patterns. It matches each pattern to commands the smartphone then follows.
EchoSpeech currently recognizes 31 voice commands and recognizes numbers that are three to six digits long. According to Zhang, future versions could recognize a much larger vocabulary. If so, users could write personal text messages via silent speech. In a noisy restaurant, they could use that approach to send messages to friends who're hard of hearing.
People who've had their vocal cords (声带) removed have been contacting Zhang's team. They want to know if this interface could read their lips and then speak out loud for them. Zhang is now exploring whether EchoSpeech could do this in a person's own voice.
12. Why does Zhang mention the sonar system used by whales in paragraph 2?
A. To make their new tech more convincing.
B. To highlight the advantages of their new tech.
C. To explain the inspiration for their new tech.
D. To make their new tech more understandable.
13. What is the basis for the operation of EchoSpeech?
A. Sound travels in a straight line.
B. One's facial movements are unique.
C. Sound waves are reflected from an object.
D. Microphones are sensitive to loud sound.
14. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?
A. People can hear sounds created by EchoSpeech.
B. EchoSpeech will be put into use before long.
C. EchoSpeech can enhance interpersonal communication.
D. Users can use EchoSpeech to write personal messages.
15. What is the main idea of the text?
A. New glasses read your lips and tell your phone.
B. Lip-reading devices can understand voice commands.
C. Lip-reading techniques are springing up worldwide.
D. Recognizing silent speech has already become possible.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In a small quiet coastal village lived a fisherman named James and his faithful dog, Oliver. Oliver was more than just a pet; he was James's companion and close friend. They spent their days together, out on the fishing boat, with Oliver's ears flapping in the wind.
One day, a terrible storm was brewing, and the villagers urged James to stay onshore. But James needed to go out to sea. Oliver, sensing the danger, barked and whined, trying to stop James. But James reassured Oliver and promised to return safely.
Out at sea, the storm grew fierce. The waves towered, and the wind howled. Hours turned into days, and the villagers lost hope for James's return. Only Oliver waited, day and night, at the end of the pier(码头), eyes fixed on the horizon. Only he refused to give up hope. He knew that James was a strong and experienced sailor, who would do everything he could to survive the storm.
After three agonizing days, a broken boat drifted ashore. The villagers found James, extremely weak but still alive. Oliver's joy knew no bounds; he leaped and danced around James, licking his face and wagging his tail happily. The friendship between the two was evident to everyone.
Time went by, and the incident became a story, but for James and Oliver, it was a life-changing experience. James realized that Oliver's instincts were right, and he vowed never to ignore them again. The relationship between James and Oliver deepened. They understood each other in a way that transcended mere human-animal interaction. Their connection was spiritual, soulful, and strong. But as the years rolled on, Oliver grew old. His movements slowed, and his eyes dimmed. James took care of him with the same love and patience that Oliver had shown him. They spent their last days together, cherishing every moment.
注意:
1.续写词数应为 150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Oliver's last days were peaceful, filled with love and comfort from James.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
James buried Oliver near their favorite spot on the shore, marking it with a wooden cross.
