A 【解析】 【原文】W: Sometimes I think people don’t understand why nature conservation is so important. Perhaps it needs to be explained to them in a different way. M: I agree it is very important but how would you do that? W: What if we start to view nature as our business partner? M: That sounds interesting. What’s your logic? W: Well, think about it. Nature provides us with clean air, water, and resources. It’s like a silent partner in our survival and development. M: True, but aren’t we taking more from our partner than we give back? W: That’s exactly my point. We need to shift from taking to investing. Protecting nature is in our best interest. That’s what people need to understand. M: I see what you mean. We should ensure that our “business partner” does well for the benefit of both sides. W: Exactly. It’s not just about saving trees and animals; it’s also about securing our own future. M: That’s a new and unique way to look at it, nature as a business partner. I like that. W: I’m glad you see the sense of it. Let’s start treating nature with the respect it deserves. After all, we’re all in this business together. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. What do we know about the speaker’s father? A. He wears long hair. B. He’s devoted to his child. C.

However, my mother died when I was four, so for most of my life, it was just my father and me living at home. There were times when it was difficult. For example, my father barely has hair on his head and knew nothing about hair care, whereas I have long red hair that needs special attention. My father watched a lot of videos online to learn how to be both a father and a mother to me and help with a young girl’s needs. But there were things he was always good at. He always supported me, no matter what I wanted to do. When I told him I wanted to be a professional soccer player, I thought he’d be disappointed because he’s a big basketball fan. Instead, he took me to the sports store to buy boots and a soccer ball. Now I’m worried about him. I’m going away to a British university on a soccer exchange program. My father is going to be alone. That’s why I have recommended him to come on your TV show. You help people find themselves. Since my birth, my father has given me the most precious two decades of his life. Now I want him to enjoy his own life. Please help him. 第二部分 阅读（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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A The Mysterious World of Deep-Sea Creatures The deep sea remains one of the least explored and understood environments on our planet. Lying below the sunlit upper layers of the ocean, the deep sea is a region of permanent darkness, freezing temperatures, and massive pressure. Yet, life thrives (茁壮成长) here in some of the most astonishing ways. * The Black Dragonfish * Residing at dephs of up to 2,000 meters, the black dragonfish is a predator with a thin and long body and sharp teeth. What makes it unique is its ability to produce its own light, a phenomenon known as bioluminescence. This helps it attract prey (猎物) and communicate with potential mates. * The Giant Squid * Long a stuff of legends and tales, the giant squid, which occasionally attacks whales, can reach lengths of up to 43 feet. Its massive eyes, the size of dinner plates, allow it to detect weak light in the deep dark waters. Encounters with this enormous creature are rare, and much of its life remains unknown. * Tube Worms at Hydrothermal Vents * In the depths of the ocean, hydrothermal vents (热液喷口) shoot superheated water packed with minerals. Around these vents, communities of tube worms thrive, reaching lengths of up to 2 meters. They possess no mouth or digestive system; instead, bacteria inside them process the minerals from the vents to produce energy. Modern technology has enabled humans to explore deeper into the ocean than ever before. Using remotely operated vehicles and deep-sea submersibles (潜水器), scientists can now study these creatures in their natural habitats, uncovering secrets that could hold the key to understanding life’s adaptability. 21. What ability is unique to the black dragonfish? A. Generating light for itself. B. Attracting and capturing prey. C. Discovering light in the deep water. D. Communicating with other creatures. 22. Which creature relies on internal bacteria for energy? A The black dragonfish B. The tube worm. C. The giant squid. D. The whale. 23. Where is this text probably taken from? A. An academic article. B. An experimental report. C. A travel guide. D. A natural science magazine. 【答案】21. A 22. B 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了深海生物的神秘世界，包括黑龙鱼、巨型鱼和管虫等深海生物的特性和生存方式。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Residing at dephs of up to 2,000 meters, the black dragonfish is a predator with a thin and long body and sharp teeth. What makes it unique is its ability to produce its own light, a phenomenon known as bioluminescence.”（生活在深达2000米的深海中，黑龙鱼是一种身材细长、牙齿锋利的捕食者。它独特的地方在于它能够产生自己的光，这种现象被称为生物发光。）可知，黑龙鱼独特的能力是能够产生自己的光。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“In the depths of the ocean, hydrothermal vents(热液喷口) shoot superheated water packed with minerals. Around these vents, communities of tube worms thrive, reaching lengths of up to 2 meters. They possess no mouth or digestive system; instead, bacteria inside them process the minerals from the vents to produce energy.”（在海洋深处，热液喷口喷出富含矿物质的超热水。在这些喷口周围，管虫群体茁壮成长，长度可达2米。它们没有嘴巴或消化系统；相反，它们体内的细菌处理喷口中的矿物质以产生能量。）可知，管虫依赖体内的细菌来产生能量。故选B。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。短文主要介绍了深海生物的神秘世界，包括黑龙鱼、巨型鱼和管虫等深海生物的特性和生存方式。短文语言通俗易懂，适合大众阅读，符合自然科学杂志的特点。故选D。 B On a Friday morning in April, Dan Stein, the founder of Giving Green, a climate charity organization, found some big news in a surprising email. An anonymous (匿名) donor had given his fund $10 million. “I didn’t quite expect so many zeroes and thought of it to be a mistake,” Stein said, adding he was “delighted and shocked” by the gift. Giving Green collects donations and gives them away to a handful of nonprofits that it believes have the potential to make a significant difference in preventing climate change and reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases. The S10 million donation is by far the largest single gift the nonprofit has ever received and it essentially fell out of the sky without warning. Stein and his team think the same donor may actually have given as much as $17 million more directly to those organizations in the last two years. Because the gifts are anonymous, it’s impossible to confirm, but Stein says the timing of the gifts suggests they could have come from the same person or organization. In general, giving anonymously is often regarded as the highest form of giving. Stein said, adding the donor thinks “I’m doing this out of a sense of creating a better community and simply believing that this money should go towards other uses rather than sitting in my pocket or my bank account.” Stein sees the donations as evidence that there are donors who want to give to climate change but don’t know where to donate. “The climate problem is an incredible generational problem and we think that we, as a society, should be doing things to stop it, ”Stein said. “And that one thing that people can do is making donations. ” Stein said Giving Green intends to distribute the majority of the $10 million gift as soon as possible, with much of it going to the organizations they recommend. They’ ll also direct smaller amounts to new organizations or programs within organizations that they support. 24. What was Dan Stein’s reaction to the anonymous donation? A. He was indifferent. B. He thought about rejecting it. C. He was overjoyed and couldn’t believe it. D. He immediately knew who the donor was. 25. What is the main purpose of Giving Green? A. To carry out climate change researches. B. To educate the public about climate change. C. To set up nonprofit organizations to deal with climate change. D. To help solve climate problems by collecting and distributions. 26. According to the text, why is anonymous giving considered the highest form of giving? A. It focuses on improving the society. B. It makes the donation process simpler. C. It ensures the donor gains public recognition. D. It helps keep the donor’s bank account a secret. 27. What does Stein plan to do with the donation? A. Save the majority of it for future needs. B. Use the majority of it for marketing and promoting. C. Distribute most of it to recommended organizations. D. Giving most of it away to new organizations or programs. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。气候慈善组织 Giving Green的创始人 Dan Stein的基金收到匿名捐赠1000万美元，他计划尽快将这笔1000万美元的绝大部分分发给推荐的非营利组织。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““I didn’t quite expect so many zeroes and thought of it to be a mistake,” Stein said, adding he was “delighted and shocked” by the gift. (Stein说：“我没想到会收到这么多零，还以为是个错误。”他还说，收到这份礼物让他“既高兴又震惊”。)”可知，Stein对收到的匿名捐赠感到“高兴和震惊”，难以置信。故选C。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Giving Green collects donations and gives them away to a handful of nonprofits that it believes have the potential to make a significant difference in preventing climate change and reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases. (“Giving Green”组织收集捐款，并将其转交给一些它认为有可能在防止气候变化和减少温室气体排放方面发挥重大作用的非营利组织。)”可知，GivingGreen 的目的是收集捐款并分配给一些非营利组织，这些组织有潜力在防止气候变化和减少温室气体排放方面产生显著影响。故选D。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“In general, giving anonymously is often regarded as the highest form of giving. Stein said, adding the donor thinks “I’m doing this out of a sense of creating a better community and simply believing that this money should go towards other uses rather than sitting in my pocket or my bank account.”(一般来说，匿名捐赠通常被认为是捐赠的最高形式。Stein说，并补充说，捐赠者认为“我这样做是出于创造一个更好的社区的意识，只是认为这笔钱应该用于其他用途，而不是坐在我的口袋或银行账户里。”)”可知，匿名捐赠者是出于创造更好的社区理念而捐赠，而不是为了自己的名誉，这表明这种捐赠方式更专注于社会的改善。故选A。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Stein said Giving Green intends to distribute the majority of the $10 million gift as soon as possible, with much of it going to the organizations they recommend. They’ ll also direct smaller amounts to new organizations or programs within organizations that they support. (Stein说，“Giving Green”计划尽快分配1000万美元捐赠中的大部分，其中大部分将捐给他们推荐的组织。他们也会向他们支持的新组织或组织内的项目提供小额资金。)”可知，Stein计划尽快分配这笔捐款，大部分会给到他们推荐的组织，小部分会给到他们支持的新组织或项目。故选C。 C OpenAI, the company behind the artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT, has set out restructuring plans to make it easier for it to raise money and remove restrictions made by its non-profit parent (母公司). OpenAI reveals its for-profit unit would become a public benefit corporation, a company required to consider the interests of society as well as shareholder (股东) value. The non-profit parent would have “a significant interest” in the public benefit corporation, OpenAI said in a blog-post, adding that it would be one of the “best resourced non-profits in history.” OpenAI has been looking to make changes to its rules to make it easier for investors to profit when they inject new investment into the firm. OpenAI was founded in 2015 as a research-focused non-profit but created a for-profit unit four years later to secure funding for the high costs of AI development. Its unusual structure gave control of the for-profit unit to the non-profit. A $6.6 billion fundraising by OpenAI, which valued it at $157 billion, was conditional on it being able to remove a profit limit and move towards being a more conventional company. “We again need to raise more money than we’d imagined. Investors want to back us but they need conventional equity (股东权益) and a less unique structure,” OpenAI said. “The hundreds of billions of dollars that companies are investing into AI show what it will take for OpenAI to continue pursuing the mission.” “This is the critical step the company needs in order to continue fundraising,” said Gil Luria, analyst with DA Davidson & Co. The key to the announcement, he said, was that the for-profit side of OpenAI “will run and control OpenAI’s operations and business.” For its AI competitors, it’s a different matter. Musk, an OpenAI co-founder, is trying to preclude the plan, as is Meta Platforms, which is developing a competitor against ChatGPT named Meta AI. 28. What is a public benefit corporation required to do? A. Operate its non-profit parent independently. B. Focus only on maximizing shareholder value. C. Reduce the amount of money raised from investors. D. Combine the interests of society and shareholder value. 29. Why does OpenAI believe it needs to restructure its operations in paragraph 5? A. To attract more investors and simplify the structure. B. To push forward its development goals on AI safety. C. To settle conflicts with its non-profit parent organization. D. To prevent competitors from taking control of its operations. 30. What does the underlined word “preclude” in paragraph 6 mean? A. Design. B. Prevent. C. Back. D. Follow. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. OpenAI to Keep Influencing Shareholders. B. OpenAI to Defend ChatGPT from Criticism. C. OpenAI to Relax Control over Its For-Profit Unit. D. OpenAI to Spend Funds on Artificial Intelligence. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了OpenAI计划重组以放松对其营利性部门的控制。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“OpenAI reveals its for-profit unit would become a public benefit corporation, a company required to consider the interests of society as well as shareholder value. (OpenAI透露，其营利性部门将成为一家公益公司，这类公司需要考虑社会利益以及股东价值)”可知，公益公司需要兼顾社会利益和股东价值。故选D。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中““We again need to raise more money than we’d imagined. Investors want to back us but they need conventional equity and a less unique structure,” OpenAI said. “The hundreds of billions of dollars that companies are investing into AI show what it will take for OpenAI to continue pursuing the mission.”(“我们再次需要筹集比我们想象的更多的资金。投资者想要支持我们，但他们需要传统股权和不那么独特的结构，”OpenAI表示。“企业在人工智能领域投资的数千亿美元表明，OpenAI将继续追求这一使命。”)”可知，OpenAI认为需要重组运营是为了吸引更多投资者并简化结构。故选A。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第六段中“Musk, an OpenAI co-founder, is trying to preclude the plan, as is Meta Platforms, which is developing a competitor against ChatGPT named Meta AI.(OpenAI联合创始人马斯克正试图preclude这一计划，开发ChatGPT竞争对手Meta AI的Meta Platforms也是如此。)”可知，马斯克和Meta Platforms都在对OpenAI的计划采取阻止行动，因此preclude在此处意为“阻止”，与prevent意义相近。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“OpenAI, the company behind the artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT, has set out restructuring plans to make it easier for it to raise money and remove restrictions made by its non-profit parent.(人工智能工具ChatGPT背后的公司OpenAI已经制定了重组计划，以便更容易筹集资金，并取消其非营利性母公司施加的限制。)”可知，文章主要讲述了OpenAI计划重组以放松对其营利性部门的控制。C选项“OpenAI to Relax Control over Its For-Profit Unit (OpenAI放松对其营利性部门的控制)”最符合文章主旨，适合做文章标题。故选C。 D If a word is said or looked at steadily for some little time, it will be found to take on a curiously strange and foreign aspect. This is a phenomenon called semantic satiation that affects our understanding of words when they are mentioned too often. The term was created by psychologist Leon James. He conducted several experiments to explore how the concept affects our thinking and found that it is a kind of tiredness called reactive inhibition (反应性抑制). When a brain cell fires, it takes more energy to fire afterwards, and finally it won’t even respond unless you wait a few seconds. For example, “Black Friday (a shopping day)” is no longer as appealing as it once was. We’ve repeated “Black Friday” so much that it is now as indistinct as the packages of common Wal-Mart string cheese that you go past hurriedly on your way to argue over a half- price vegetable steamer at 3 a. m. Hence, marketers are reconsidering their sales strategies. One experiment he conducted sought to explore whether semantic satiation could be used to lessen stuttering (口吃). He had an assistant call a stuttering participant and they talked on the phone for one minute, creating a situation that increased anxiety as there were no alternative means of communication for the participant other than speaking. Ten minutes later, the assistant called again. And the cycle was repeated 10 times throughout the day. The goal was to induce (诱发) semantic satiation in the stuttering participant related to the emotion of the stress - inducing phone call. And he says it worked. Any word can be the victim of semantic satiation, but the amount of time before words lose meaning can vary, with words that can draw out strong emotions taking longer due to the brain cycling through other associations with the words. One study showed that when presented with a tone, the sleeping cat immediately woke up. But as they played the tone again and again, the cat took time to wake up each time, until it kept on sleeping. But when the tone was varied slightly, the cat woke up immediately. Therefore, when teachers assign word memorization exercises to students, it is wise to avoid repetitive memorization or the words will become meaningless to students. 32. Which of the following can best explain “semantic satiation”? A. It’s a kind of serious language learning disability. B. It’s a reflection of the subjective nature of language. C. It’s a practice of rearranging letters to form new words. D. It’s an occurrence arising from the repetition of words. 33. How does semantic satiation affect “Black Friday” according to the text? A. People lose their craze for “Black Friday”. B. People start buying Wal- Mart string cheese. C. People merely show interest in goods on sale. D. People make the best of some shopping strategies. 34. What’s the result of the experiment involving a stuttering participant? A. The participant’s stuttering improved. B. The participant’s stuttering was cured. C. The participant became more stressed. D. The participant failed to communicate. 35. What’s the implication of the cat experiment f on teachers? A. Delivering classes in a clear tone. B. Employing variations in word exercises. C. Highlighting the importance of the word meaning. D. Encouraging students to get up early in the morning. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍语义饱和的现象，即当一个词被频繁提及时，它会影响我们对它的理解。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“If a word is said or looked at steadily for some little time, it will be found to take on a curiously strange and foreign aspect. This is a phenomenon called semantic satiation that affects our understanding of words when they are mentioned too often. (如果一个词被说出来或被注视一小段时间，就会发现它呈现出一种奇怪而陌生的面貌。这是一种被称为语义饱和的现象，当一个词被频繁提及时，它会影响我们对它的理解。)”可知语义饱和是一种由单词的重复引起的现象。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“For example, “Black Friday (a shopping day)” is no longer as appealing as it once was. We’ve repeated “Black Friday” so much that it is now as indistinct as the packages of common Wal - Mart string cheese that you go past hurriedly on your way to argue over a half- price vegetable steamer at 3 a. m. Hence, marketers are reconsidering their sales strategies. (例如，“黑色星期五”不再像以前那样吸引人了。我们把“黑色星期五”重复得如此之多，以至于它现在就像你在凌晨三点匆匆走过的路上为了半价蔬菜蒸笼而争吵的普通沃尔玛奶酪包装一样模糊不清。因此，营销人员正在重新考虑他们的销售策略。)”可知“黑色星期五”不再像以前那样吸引人，意思人们对“黑色星期五”失去了狂热。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“One experiment he conducted sought to explore whether semantic satiation could be used to lessen stuttering (口吃). (他进行的一项实验试图探索语义饱和是否可以用来减轻口吃。)”和最后两句“The goal was to induce (诱发) semantic satiation in the stuttering participant related to the emotion of the stress - inducing phone call. And he says it worked. (目的是诱导与压力诱导的电话情绪相关的口吃参与者的语义满足。他说这很有效。)”可推知，口吃参与者的实验结果是减轻了口吃，口吃得到改善，故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“One study showed that when presented with a tone, the sleeping cat immediately woke up. But as they played the tone again and again, the cat took time to wake up each time, until it kept on sleeping. But when the tone was varied slightly, the cat woke up immediately. Therefore, when teachers assign word memorization exercises to students, it is wise to avoid repetitive memorization or the words will become meaningless to students. (一项研究表明，当给睡着的猫一个音调时，它会立即醒来。但是，当他们一遍又一遍地播放这个音调时，猫每次都想要起来，但结果又继续睡了。但当声音稍有变化时，猫就立刻醒了。因此，当教师给学生布置单词记忆练习时，避免重复记忆是明智的，否则这些单词对学生来说就会变得毫无意义。)”可推知，对老师来说，猫实验意味着老师给学生练习记忆单词的时候，要避免重复，强调变化。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。 Certain Chinese cuisines, such as the well-known Roasted Duck from Beijing or the delicious Tianjin-style Pancakes, might appear commonplace to the Chinese, but they have gained global recognition. The appeal of these delicacies is deeply rooted in vast geographical diversity. Stretching from the extremely cold northern plains to the southern rainforests, different regions have their unique ingredients and cooking techniques. ___36___, commonly referred to as the Eight Major Cuisines of China. These include the rich and flavor-packed dishes of Sichuan, the delicate and varied tastes of Guangdong, the mouth-watering and hearty foods of Shandong, and the spicy and sour flavors of Hunan, among others. Climate plays a crucial role in shaping regional cuisines. In Sichuan, for example, the hot and wet climate, coupled with the region’s mountainous physical geography, has led to a preference for spicy foods, like Stir-Fried Tofu in Hot Sauce or Spicy Chicken. The spicy flavors add appetite to dishes. In addition, ___37___. The unique conditions of the Sichuan Basin, with its low-lying land and difficulty in losing heat through evaporation (蒸发), contribute to this preference. One of the most noteworthy contrasts between southern and northern Chinese cuisines lies in the employment of ingredients. Southern dishes tend to be lighter and more delicate, featuring seafood, vegetables, and rice. In contrast, ___38___. They have a wealth of wheat-based dishes like noodles and dumplings. ___39___, regardless of their differences. Dishes are attentively cooked to stimulate the senses and promote a sense of pleasure. The use of fresh, seasonal ingredients, along with the close attention to details in preparation and presentation, defines Chinese cuisine. Another important aspect of Chinese dining culture is the significance of table manners. Meals are often shared among family and friends, with each person taking turns to serve and pour. Chopsticks, rather than forks or knives, are preferred, symbolizing closeness and familiarity. The act of eating together goes beyond food alone. ___40___. A. northern cuisines are heavier and more hearty B. they serve to warm up and remove dampness from the boday C. This diversity comes down to its geographical and climatic conditions D. The Chinese people have for centuries crafted varieties of delicious dishes E. This geographical diversity has given birth to eight major cooking traditions F. That is to say, it represents a sense of community and the strength of bonds G. Chinese cuisines share emphasis on the perfect harmony of color, flavor and taste 【答案】36. E 37. B 38. A 39. G 40. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了中国饮食文化的文章。文章通过分析中国不同地区的气候、地理条件以及饮食习惯，展示了中国饮食的多样性和独特性。 【36题详解】 根据上文“... commonly referred to as the ‘Eight Major Cuisines of China. (...通常被称为中国的“八大菜系”。)”可知，文章提到了中国八大菜系，这与选项E中的eight major cooking traditions相呼应，表明中国饮食的多样性源于其地理和气候条件，因此选择E。 【37题详解】 根据上文“Climate plays a crucial role in shaping regional cuisines. In Sichuan, for example, the hot and wet climate, coupled with the region’s mountainous physical geography, has led to a preference for spicy foods, like Stir-Fried Tofu in Hot Sauce or Spicy Chicken. The spicy flavors add appetite to dishes. (气候在塑造地方菜系方面起着至关重要的作用。例如，在四川，湿热的气候加上该地区的多山地理特征，导致了对辛辣食物的偏好，如辣味豆腐或辣子鸡。辛辣的味道增加了菜肴的食欲。)”可知，四川地区由于湿热气候和多山的地理特征，人们偏爱辛辣食物，辛辣食物能增加食欲。选项B中的warm up and remove dampness from the body与上文提到的气候特征和辛辣食物的作用相一致，因此选择B。 【38题详解】 根据上文“One of the most noteworthy contrasts between southern and northern Chinese cuisines lies in the employment of ingredients. Southern dishes tend to be lighter and more delicate, featuring seafood, vegetables, and rice. In contrast, northern cuisines are heavier and more hearty. (南方和北方中国菜系之间最值得注意的对比之一在于食材的使用。南方菜倾向于更清淡、更精致，主要以海鲜、蔬菜和米饭为特色。相比之下，北方菜更重口味、更丰盛。)”可知，南方菜肴倾向于更清淡、更精致，主要以海鲜、蔬菜和米饭为特色。与此相对的，北方菜肴则更重口味、更丰盛。选项A中的northern cuisines are heavier and more hearty与上文描述的北方菜肴特点相符，因此选择A。 【39题详解】 根据上文“Dishes are attentively cooked to stimulate the senses and promote a sense of pleasure. The use of fresh, seasonal ingredients, along with the close attention to details in preparation and presentation, defines Chinese cuisine. (菜肴精心烹饪以刺激感官并促进愉悦感。使用新鲜的季节性食材，以及对准备和呈现细节的密切注意，定义了中国菜。)”可知，中国菜肴无论差异如何，都注重精心烹饪以激发感官和愉悦感。选项G中的Chinese cuisines share emphasis on the perfect harmony of color, flavor and taste与上文所述的中国菜肴的烹饪理念相吻合，因此选择G。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Meals are often shared among family and friends, with each person taking turns to serve and pour. Chopsticks, rather than forks or knives, are preferred, symbolizing closeness and familiarity. The act of eating together goes beyond food alone. (餐食通常在家人和朋友之间共享，每个人轮流服务和倒酒。比起刀叉，更倾向于使用筷子，象征着亲近和熟悉。一起吃饭的行为超越了食物本身。)”可知，中国人在餐桌上的礼仪，强调了共享食物的文化，以及筷子的使用象征着亲近和熟悉。选项F中的represents a sense of community and the strength of bonds与上文提到的共享食物和筷子使用的文化意义相一致，因此选择F。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 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。 This morning, a former student sent me a message, telling me he is living a happy life.

Today, I’m honored to share with you some figures regarding the weekly exercise duration of high school students. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Good morning, everyone! Today, I’m honored to share with you some figures regarding the weekly exercise duration of high school students. Illustrated in the chart is that 55% of students, making up the majority, exercise merely 0-2 hours weekly. Meanwhile, 35% do it for 2-7 hours, with merely 10% spending over 7 hours on physical activities. The figures are rather worrying. With students engaging in regular exercise as they should, maintaining physical and mental well-being would become an achievable feat of crucial importance. But over half scarcely take enough physical activities, potentially resulting in problems like obesity and stress, which may further affect study focus. To better the situation, schools and parents could encourage students to get involved in sports, perhaps by organizing more activities. As students ourselves, we might also take minor actions, be it walking, cycling or joining a team. Remember, a healthy body breeds a sharp mind.

Birdcalls rang out across the sand to say the day was done. Kangaroos gathered under the eucalyptus trees. On Owen’s farm, cows quieted and hung their heads. But somewhere over the hill, a spark (火花) had started and was finding the dry branches of the bush (荒野). When the dark had fallen, a soft light lit up the hills. There was a smell of smoke, soft at first, but as the light grew brighter in the darkness, it turned sharp and attacked the senses. Owen realized the water containers were dry: it hadn’t rained for months, and he knew water was key to fighting a fire, which moved fast. Owen rushed to his car, and his dog, Rocky, jumped into the front seat beside him. They needed to drive to town to inform others. There were houses in the area that mightn’t have seen the fire yet. Alone, Owen couldn’t fight the fire. But maybe together they could. On the way, Owen and Rocky saw a koala that had come down from its tree and was smelling the air, looking worried. Rocky stuck his head out of the car and woofed, as though telling the koala what was coming. In town, lots of neighbors had gathered together. They were choosing people to help in the best way they could. Some were putting on uniforms of the volunteer fire service, and getting ready to battle the fire with hoses (水管). Some were finding safe places for people to sleep, whose houses were too close to the fire. Some people were collecting old clothes for the animals that would be burnt in the flames (火焰) to hold and comfort them. Although it was nighttime, the sky had now turned a deep red. Owen put on his uniform and was about to get into the firetruck. He told Rocky to stay behind, but Rocky put his paw (爪) on him, eager to go with Owen. So Owen let Rocky join the other firefighters in the truck. The men and women were teachers, shopkeepers, builders and gardeners — everyone was working together to put out the flames and save the town, houses, animals and the bush. The truck reached the front of the flames, where thick black smoke filled the air. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右；2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Owen and other firefighters jumped out from the truck and began their work. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then suddenly, Rocky came out from the smoke, holding an injured baby kangaroo in his mouth. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Owen and other firefighters jumped out from the truck and began their work. The heat was overwhelming, and the smoke stung their eyes, but they pressed on, aiming the hoses at the flames. The fire crackled and roared around them, but their determination was stronger. Owen worked alongside his neighbors, all of them working together as one to control the blaze. Rocky had been with them earlier, running back and forth between the teams, but now, he was nowhere to be seen. Owen didn’t have time to look for him. His mind and focus had to be entirely on the fire. Then suddenly, Rocky came out from the smoke, holding an injured baby kangaroo in his mouth. Owen rushed to his side, and with gentle hands, he took the baby animal from Rocky’s mouth. The kangaroo was trembling, its small body covered in soot and burns. Without hesitation, Owen carried the kangaroo to a safe spot, where the volunteers had set up a temporary shelter for the injured animals. Rocky stayed close by, watching over the baby kangaroo protectively. As the fire continued to rage around them, the community’s resolve remained unbroken, working tirelessly together to ensure no life would be left behind. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了一个农场主Owen和他的狗Rocky在发现山火后，迅速行动通知镇上居民，并与其他志愿者一起参与灭火的故事，展现了社区团结合作、共同对抗自然灾害的精神，以及动物在危机时刻表现出的勇敢和智慧。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Owen和其他消防员从卡车上跳下来，开始了他们的工作。”可知，第一段可描写灭火过程以及大家的紧张程度，同时提及Rocky的动向。 ②由第二段首句内容“突然，Rocky从烟雾中走了出来，嘴里叼着一只受伤的小袋鼠。”可知，第二段可描写Owen和Rocky救助小袋鼠的过程。 2.续写线索：火势强大，烟雾弥漫——大家竭尽全力灭火——Rocky的动向——Rocky救出了受伤的小袋鼠——Owen将小袋鼠送到安置区救治——Rocky守护小袋鼠——大家确保救出每一个生命 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①刺痛：sting/stick/pin ②寻找：look for/search for/seek for ③设立：set up/build/establish 情绪类 ①完全地/投入地：entirely/ absolutely/ completely/ totally ②不知疲倦地：tirelessly/indefatigably 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Sometimes I think people don't understand why nature conservation is so important. Perhaps IT needs to be explained to them in a different way. I agree, IT is very important, but how would you do that? What if we start to view nature as our business partner? That sounds interesting. What's your logic? Well, think about IT. Nature provides us with clean air, water and resources. It's like a silent partner in our survival and development. true. But aren't we taking more from our partner than we give back?

We should ensure that our business partner does well for the benefit of both sides. exactly. It's not just about saving trees and animals. It's also about securing our own future.

However, my mother died when I was for. So for most of my life, IT was just my father and me living at home. There were times when I was difficult. For example, my father barely has hair on his head and knew nothing about hair care, whereas I have long red hair that needs special attention. My father watched a lot of videos online to learn how to be both a father and a mother to me and help with Young girl's needs. But there were things he was always good at. He always supported me no matter what I wanted to do. When I told him I wanted to be a professional soccer player, I thought he'd be disappointed because he's a big basketball fan. Instead, he took me to the sports store to buy boots and a soccer ball. Now i'm worried about him. I'm going away to a british university on a socket exchange program. My father is going to be alone. That's why I have recommended him to come on your T, V show. You help people find themselves. Since my birth, my father has given me the most precious two decades of his life.

Lying below the sunlit upper layers of the ocean, the deep sea is a region of permanent darkness, freezing temperatures, and massive pressure. Yet, life thrives (茁壮成长) here in some of the most astonishing ways. * The Black Dragonfish * Residing at dephs of up to 2,000 meters, the black dragonfish is a predator with a thin and long body and sharp teeth. What makes it unique is its ability to produce its own light, a phenomenon known as bioluminescence. This helps it attract prey (猎物) and communicate with potential mates. * The Giant Squid * Long a stuff of legends and tales, the giant squid, which occasionally attacks whales, can reach lengths of up to 43 feet. Its massive eyes, the size of dinner plates, allow it to detect weak light in the deep dark waters. Encounters with this enormous creature are rare, and much of its life remains unknown. * Tube Worms at Hydrothermal Vents * In the depths of the ocean, hydrothermal vents (热液喷口) shoot superheated water packed with minerals. Around these vents, communities of tube worms thrive, reaching lengths of up to 2 meters. They possess no mouth or digestive system; instead, bacteria inside them process the minerals from the vents to produce energy. Modern technology has enabled humans to explore deeper into the ocean than ever before. Using remotely operated vehicles and deep-sea submersibles (潜水器), scientists can now study these creatures in their natural habitats, uncovering secrets that could hold the key to understanding life’s adaptability. 21. What ability is unique to the black dragonfish? A. Generating light for itself. B. Attracting and capturing prey. C. Discovering light in the deep water. D. Communicating with other creatures. 22. Which creature relies on internal bacteria for energy? A. The black dragonfish B. The tube worm. C. The giant squid. D. The whale. 23. Where is this text probably taken from? A. An academic article. B. An experimental report. C. A travel guide. D. A natural science magazine. B On a Friday morning in April, Dan Stein, the founder of Giving Green, a climate charity organization, found some big news in a surprising email. An anonymous (匿名) donor had given his fund $10 million. “I didn’t quite expect so many zeroes and thought of it to be a mistake,” Stein said, adding he was “delighted and shocked” by the gift. Giving Green collects donations and gives them away to a handful of nonprofits that it believes have the potential to make a significant difference in preventing climate change and reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases. The S10 million donation is by far the largest single gift the nonprofit has ever received and it essentially fell out of the sky without warning. Stein and his team think the same donor may actually have given as much as $17 million more directly to those organizations in the last two years. Because the gifts are anonymous, it’s impossible to confirm, but Stein says the timing of the gifts suggests they could have come from the same person or organization. In general, giving anonymously is often regarded as the highest form of giving. Stein said, adding the donor thinks “I’m doing this out of a sense of creating a better community and simply believing that this money should go towards other uses rather than sitting in my pocket or my bank account.” Stein sees the donations as evidence that there are donors who want to give to climate change but don’t know where to donate. “The climate problem is an incredible generational problem and we think that we, as a society, should be doing things to stop it, ”Stein said. “And that one thing that people can do is making donations. ” Stein said Giving Green intends to distribute the majority of the $10 million gift as soon as possible with much of it going to the organizations they recommend. They’ ll also direct smaller amounts to new organizations or programs within organizations that they support. 24. What was Dan Stein’s reaction to the anonymous donation? A. He was indifferent. B. He thought about rejecting it. C. He was overjoyed and couldn’t believe it. D. He immediately knew who the donor was. 25. What is the main purpose of Giving Green? A. To carry out climate change researches. B. To educate the public about climate change. C. To set up nonprofit organizations to deal with climate change. D. To help solve climate problems by collecting and distributions. 26. According to the text, why is anonymous giving considered the highest form of giving? A. It focuses on improving the society. B. It makes the donation process simpler. C. It ensures the donor gains public recognition. D. It helps keep the donor’s bank account a secret. 27. What does Stein plan to do with the donation? A. Save the majority of it for future needs. B. Use the majority of it for marketing and promoting. C. Distribute most of it to recommended organizations. D. Giving most of it away to new organizations or programs. C OpenAI, the company behind the artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT, has set out restructuring plans to make it easier for it to raise money and remove restrictions made by its non-profit parent (母公司). OpenAI reveals its for-profit unit would become a public benefit corporation, a company required to consider the interests of society as well as shareholder (股东) value. The non-profit parent would have “a significant interest” in the public benefit corporation, OpenAI said in a blog-post, adding that it would be one of the “best resourced non-profits in history.” OpenAI has been looking to make changes to its rules to make it easier for investors to profit when they inject new investment into the firm. OpenAI was founded in 2015 as a research-focused non-profit but created a for-profit unit four years later to secure funding for the high costs of AI development. Its unusual structure gave control of the for-profit unit to the non-profit. A $6.6 billion fundraising by OpenAI, which valued it at $157 billion, was conditional on it being able to remove a profit limit and move towards being a more conventional company. “We again need to raise more money than we’d imagined. Investors want to back us but they need conventional equity (股东权益) and a less unique structure,” OpenAI said. “The hundreds of billions of dollars that companies are investing into AI show what it will take for OpenAI to continue pursuing the mission.” “This is the critical step the company needs in order to continue fundraising” said Gil Luria, analyst with DA Davidson & Co. The key to the announcement, he said, was that the for-profit side of OpenAI “will run and control OpenAI’s operations and business.” For its AI competitors, it’s a different matter. Musk, an OpenAI co-founder, is trying to preclude the plan, as is Meta Platforms, which is developing a competitor against ChatGPT named Meta AI. 28. What is a public benefit corporation required to do? A. Operate its non-profit parent independently. B. Focus only on maximizing shareholder value. C. Reduce the amount of money raised from investors. D. Combine the interests of society and shareholder value. 29. Why does OpenAI believe it needs to restructure its operations in paragraph 5? A. To attract more investors and simplify the structure. B. To push forward its development goals on AI safety. C. To settle conflicts with its non-profit parent organization. D. To prevent competitors from taking control of its operations. 30. What does the underlined word “preclude” in paragraph 6 mean? A. Design. B. Prevent. C. Back. D. Follow. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. OpenAI to Keep Influencing Shareholders. B. OpenAI to Defend ChatGPT from Criticism. C. OpenAI to Relax Control over Its For-Profit Unit. D. OpenAI to Spend Funds on Artificial Intelligence. D If a word is said or looked at steadily for some little time, it will be found to take on a curiously strange and foreign aspect. This is a phenomenon called semantic satiation that affects our understanding of words when they are mentioned too often. The term was created by psychologist Leon James. He conducted several experiments to explore how the concept affects our thinking and found that it is a kind of tiredness called reactive inhibition (反应性抑制). When a brain cell fires, it takes more energy to fire afterwards, and finally it won’t even respond unless you wait a few seconds. For example, “Black Friday (a shopping day)” is no longer as appealing as it once was. We’ve repeated “Black Friday” so much that it is now as indistinct as the packages of common Wal-Mart string cheese that you go past hurriedly on your way to argue over a half- price vegetable steamer at 3 a. m. Hence, marketers are reconsidering their sales strategies. One experiment he conducted sought to explore whether semantic satiation could be used to lessen stuttering (口吃). He had an assistant call a stuttering participant and they talked on the phone for one minute, creating a situation that increased anxiety as there were no alternative means of communication for the participant other than speaking. Ten minutes later, the assistant called again. And the cycle was repeated 10 times throughout the day. The goal was to induce (诱发) semantic satiation in the stuttering participant related to the emotion of the stress - inducing phone call. And he says it worked. Any word can be the victim of semantic satiation, but the amount of time before words lose meaning can vary, with words that can draw out strong emotions taking longer due to the brain cycling through other associations with the words. One study showed that when presented with a tone, the sleeping cat immediately woke up. But as they played the tone again and again, the cat took time to wake up each time, until it kept on sleeping. But when the tone was varied slightly, the cat woke up immediately. Therefore, when teachers assign word memorization exercises to students, it is wise to avoid repetitive memorization or the words will become meaningless to students. 32. Which of the following can best explain “semantic satiation”? A It’s a kind of serious language learning disability. B. It’s a reflection of the subjective nature of language. C. It’s a practice of rearranging letters to form new words. D. It’s an occurrence arising from the repetition of words. 33. How does semantic satiation affect “Black Friday” according to the text? A. People lose their craze for “Black Friday”. B. People start buying Wal- Mart string cheese. C. People merely show interest in goods on sale. D. People make the best of some shopping strategies. 34. What’s the result of the experiment involving a stuttering participant? A. The participant’s stuttering improved. B. The participant’s stuttering was cured. C. The participant became more stressed. D. The participant failed to communicate. 35. What’s the implication of the cat experiment f on teachers? A. Delivering classes in a clear tone. B. Employing variations in word exercises. C. Highlighting the importance of the word meaning. D. Encouraging students to get up early in the morning. 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。 Certain Chinese cuisines, such as the well-known Roasted Duck from Beijing or the delicious Tianjin-style Pancakes, might appear commonplace to the Chinese, but they have gained global recognition. The appeal of these delicacies is deeply rooted in vast geographical diversity. Stretching from the extremely cold northern plains to the southern rainforests, different regions have their unique ingredients and cooking techniques. ___36___, commonly referred to as the Eight Major Cuisines of China. These include the rich and flavor-packed dishes of Sichuan, the delicate and varied tastes of Guangdong, the mouth-watering and hearty foods of Shandong, and the spicy and sour flavors of Hunan, among others. Climate plays a crucial role in shaping regional cuisines. In Sichuan, for example, the hot and wet climate, coupled with the region’s mountainous physical geography, has led to a preference for spicy foods, like Stir-Fried Tofu in Hot Sauce or Spicy Chicken. The spicy flavors add appetite to dishes. In addition, ___37___. The unique conditions of the Sichuan Basin, with its low-lying land and difficulty in losing heat through evaporation (蒸发), contribute to this preference. One of the most noteworthy contrasts between southern and northern Chinese cuisines lies in the employment of ingredients. Southern dishes tend to be lighter and more delicate, featuring seafood, vegetables, and rice. In contrast, ___38___. They have a wealth of wheat-based dishes like noodles and dumplings. ___39___ regardless of their differences. Dishes are attentively cooked to stimulate the senses and promote a sense of pleasure. The use of fresh, seasonal ingredients, along with the close attention to details in preparation and presentation, defines Chinese cuisine. Another important aspect of Chinese dining culture is the significance of table manners. Meals are often shared among family and friends, with each person taking turns to serve and pour. Chopsticks, rather than forks or knives, are preferred, symbolizing closeness and familiarity. The act of eating together goes beyond food alone. ___40___. A. northern cuisines are heavier and more hearty B. they serve to warm up and remove dampness from the boday C. This diversity comes down to its geographical and climatic conditions D. The Chinese people have for centuries crafted varieties of delicious dishes E. This geographical diversity has given birth to eight major cooking traditions F. That is to say, it represents a sense of community and the strength of bonds G. Chinese cuisines share emphasis on the perfect harmony of color, flavor and taste 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 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。 This morning, a former student sent me a message, telling me he is living a happy life.

Birdcalls rang out across the sand to say the day was done. Kangaroos gathered under the eucalyptus trees. On Owen’s farm, cows quieted and hung their heads. But somewhere over the hill, a spark (火花) had started and was finding the dry branches of the bush (荒野). When the dark had fallen, a soft light lit up the hills. There was a smell of smoke, soft at first, but as the light grew brighter in the darkness, it turned sharp and attacked the senses. Owen realized the water containers were dry: it hadn’t rained for months, and he knew water was key to fighting a fire, which moved fast. Owen rushed to his car, and his dog, Rocky, jumped into the front seat beside him. They needed to drive to town to inform others. There were houses in the area that mightn’t have seen the fire yet. Alone, Owen couldn’t fight the fire. But maybe together they could. On the way, Owen and Rocky saw a koala that had come down from its tree and was smelling the air, looking worried. Rocky stuck his head out of the car and woofed, as though telling the koala what was coming. In town, lots of neighbors had gathered together. They were choosing people to help in the best way they could. Some were putting on uniforms of the volunteer fire service, and getting ready to battle the fire with hoses (水管). Some were finding safe places for people to sleep, whose houses were too close to the fire. Some people were collecting old clothes for the animals that would be burnt in the flames (火焰) to hold and comfort them. Although it was nighttime, the sky had now turned a deep red. Owen put on his uniform and was about to get into the firetruck. He told Rocky to stay behind, but Rocky put his paw (爪) on him, eager to go with Owen. So Owen let Rocky join the other firefighters in the truck. The men and women were teachers, shopkeepers, builders and gardeners — everyone was working together to put out the flames and save the town, houses, animals and the bush.
