This year will be really different from your junior high school years, and it might not be the same as when you get to university. Here’s why: From this year, our school, including teachers, students and the headmaster, will stop using paper. Yes, you’ve heard it right. No paper! I know it sounds strange and new, but do you know how much paper, on average, each school uses in a year? 320,000 sheets. There are over 100,000 schools in our country. You do the math. So, we will start with small things, trying to save about 900 sheets of paper per day, and if it goes well, we will pass on our experience to other schools in California, and hopefully, all around the country. When we’re done here, you should take your student card and go to the teachers’ office on the second floor of the science building, where you can pick up your personal laptop. There are some security programs on it, so you won’t be able to download games or use messaging applications. It is only for your study. 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Best Websites for Booking Cheap Flights When it comes to booking flights, travelers may naturally head to an airline’s website. However, that’s not always the best choice. The best flight booking site can vary depending on your situation. Google Flights For ease, speed and features, Google Flights is arguably the best website for flight searches. Search results appear almost immediately. Filters (过滤器) let you narrow down to nonstop choices, and limit by price or factor in the price of a bag. One downside is that it doesn’t always show the cheapest prices. Kayak Perhaps the most important reason to use Kayak instead of Google Flights is that it can catch better deals. For example, we found a $550 round-trip flight from Los Angeles to Barcelona using Google Flights. Kayak found a way to lower that price to just $472. Capital One Travel If you are a Capital One cardholder, Capital One Travel might just be the best choice as you can get up to $300 off travel booked through the Capital One Travel portal each cardholder year. Also, you’ll get up to a $50 credit toward future travel if the price drops within the next 10 days. Kiwi Are you willing to book a trip as two separate tickets in order to save money? That’s the idea behind Kiwi. It could mean taking a bus or train from your home city to another to catch a flight to your destination. But if a delay or cancellation causes you to miss your connection, the second airline/bus/train company won’t honor your ticket. 21. What is a disadvantage of Google Flights? A. It filters nonstop flights. B. It shows limited search results. C. It does not show the price of a bag. D. It may not present the cheapest choices. 22. Which of the following offers credit card rewards? A. Google Flights. B. Kayak. C. Capital One Travel. D. Kiwi. 23. Where is the text probably from? A. An airline’s website. B. A finance journal. C. A business magazine. D. A flight booking guide. 【答案】21. D 22. C 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍几个预订便宜机票的最佳网站及其特点。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Google Flights部分中“One downside is that it doesn’t always show the cheapest prices. (一个缺点是它并不总是显示最便宜的价格。)”可知，Google Flights的缺点是可能不提供最便宜的选择。故选D。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Capital One Travel部分中“Also, you’ll get up to a $50 credit toward future travel if the price drops within the next 10 days. (此外，如果未来10天内价格下跌，您还可获得最高50美元的未来旅行信用额度。)”可知，提供信用卡奖励的是Capital One Travel。故选C。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章标题“Best Websites for Booking Cheap Flights (预订廉价航班的最佳网站)”可知，文章围绕预订便宜机票的最佳网站展开，来自于航班预订指南。故选D。 B While college graduation often marks the end of a long adventure, it was just the beginning for recent college graduates Sarah Harper and Sarah Brightfield. Ten days after Harper graduated in July 2023, the couple began a 463-day journey throughout all 50 states and eight Canadian provinces with their yellow camper van (野营车), Peace Blossom. Brightfield began dreaming of vanlife in 2019 during her first road trip in a rented camper van. Harper, on the other hand, had never been camping before. Harper had an interest in travel and adventure but never expected that would come in the form of a camper van. The couple first took short trips, starting with a week-long road trip to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in August 2020. After this, they gradually increased the length of time of their road trips, visiting famous national parks in places like Utah, Wyoming, Colorado and Arizona for two to three weeks at a time. Finally, they decided to set out on the trip of a lifetime following Harper’s graduation. They hit the road with clothes for all seasons and no expectations. The trip literally started with a loud noise as Peace Blossom’s brake (刹车) lines went out while the two were leaving Kansas City at the trip’s start. To make matters worse, the two decided to ride their bikes around town while waiting on the van repairs, but the bikes were stolen after Brightfield and Harper parked them in a friend’s driveway when they went inside to change clothes. Luckily, they received much help on the rest of their trip. Strangers offered them places to stay, wash clothes and take showers. In Arizona, a man named Dusty pulled them out of a sand dune (沙丘). During the trip, they saw social justice (公正) history at the Emmett Till Memorial in Mississippi. They also saw the real-life effects of climate change during the serious wildfires in Washington State. Brightfield, who studied civil engineering and water quality in college, was attracted to see issues about water resources on the road. 24. What do we know about the couple’s trip from paragraph 1 and 2? A. It was inspired by a national park visit. B. It began immediately after high school. C. It was Brightfield’s dream but new to Harper. D. It lasted more than a year throughout America. 25. What challenge did the couple face right after starting their trip? A. Difficulty in finding a camper van. B. Being stuck in the extreme weather. C. Theft of their bikes during van repairs. D. The van’s breakdown due to engine failure. 26. Why does the author mention Dusty in the last paragraph? A. To show the challenges the couple faced. B. To show the kindness the couple received. C. To stress the important role strangers played. D. To compare the people in Arizona to those in Kansas. 27. Which of the following best describes the couple’s trip of a lifetime? A. Romantic B. Interesting. C. Comfortable. D. Educational. 【答案】24. C 25. C 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。大学毕业生Sarah Harper和Sarah Brightfield驾驶露营车开启463天美加之旅，途中遇挑战，也收获善意与见闻。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Brightfield began dreaming of vanlife in 2019 during her first road trip in a rented camper van.(Brightfield在2019年第一次租用露营车公路旅行时，就开始梦想房车生活。)”和第三句“Harper, on the other hand, had never been camping before. Harper had an interest in travel and adventure but never expected that would come in the form of a camper van.(另一方面，Harper以前从未露营过。她对旅行和冒险感兴趣，但从未想过会以露营车的形式实现。)”可知，房车旅行是Brightfield的梦想，而Harper对此毫无经验。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“To make matters worse, the two decided to ride their bikes around town while waiting on the van repairs, but the bikes were stolen after Brightfield and Harper parked them in a friend’s driveway when they went inside to change clothes.(更糟糕的是，两人决定在等待修车时骑自行车绕城，但Brightfield和Harper把自行车停在朋友的车道上进去换衣服时，自行车被盗了。)”可知，修车期间他们的自行车被盗。故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“Luckily, they received much help on the rest of their trip.(幸运的是，他们在剩下的旅程中得到了很多帮助。)”和后文“Strangers offered them places to stay, wash clothes and take showers. In Arizona, a man named Dusty pulled them out of a sand dune.(陌生人给他们提供住宿、洗衣服和淋浴的地方。在亚利桑那州，一个叫达斯蒂的人把他们从沙丘里拉了出来。)”可知，作者提到达斯蒂是为了举例说明旅途中陌生人给予的帮助，体现陌生人的善意。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“During the trip, they saw social justice history at the Emmett Till Memorial in Mississippi. They also saw the real-life effects of climate change during the serious wildfires in Washington State. Brightfield, who studied civil engineering and water quality in college, was attracted to see issues about water resources on the road.(旅途中，他们在密西西比州的埃米特・蒂尔纪念馆了解了社会公正历史。他们还在华盛顿州的严重野火中看到了气候变化的现实影响。 Brightfield在大学学习土木工程和水质，她在路上看到了水资源问题，对此很感兴趣。)”可知，两人在旅途中接触到社会、环境、资源等领域的知识和现实问题，旅程具有教育意义。故选D。 C Everyone knows the horrible feeling: An uncomfortable night, just a little too warm, leads to restless sleep, and then next morning, you feel like a slow shell of yourself. Now a new study links sleep loss with climate (气候) change. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen found that ever-warmer nighttime temperatures push bedtimes later and wake times earlier, costing us valuable nighttime rest. Sleepers tracked in the study lost rest even in places where temperatures weren’t so high, and had trouble getting used to even mildly challenging sleep temperatures. And sleep costs, the researchers warn, will rise as temperatures do, likely to cost sleepers an extra 13 to 15 days of poor sleep each year by the end of the century. It’s a very clear example of how climate change is playing out in people’s everyday lives. Sleep loss from climate change “is already happening,” says Kelton Minor, the lead author of the study at the University of Copenhagen. Minor and his colleagues looked at data collected worldwide between 2021 and 2023 from nearly 50,000 people’s wristband (腕带) activity trackers. The trackers recorded when those people fell asleep, woke up, and how they slept in between. The researchers could match sleepers’ locations with location-specific climate data. That let the researchers compare the sleep data with local outdoor temperatures. They were looking at continuous records of individual people. They could see how someone slept on a cool night in June versus a hot one a few days later, or how they reacted to an unseasonably warm February night. The dataset was unique in that it didn’t rely on self-reports. It spanned the world, while the few former studies looking at the direct relationship between climate and sleep focused on just a few people. What was more amazing were the results. People slept most when outside temperatures were below 50℉ (10℃). Above that temperature, their chances of sleeping less than seven hours went way up. Above 77℉ (25℃), the losses increased rapidly. When outdoor nighttime temperatures topped 86℉ (30℃), people lost an average of about 15 minutes a night. 28. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. To lead in the topic. B. To show climate change. C. To present a terrible night. D. To highlight nighttime rest. 29. What can we learn about the study? A. Small temperature change will affect the sleep quality. B. The trackers can match sleepers’ locations with climate data. C. Sleep loss from climate change will happen in the near future. D. Sleepers tracked in the study didn’t lose rest in high-temperature areas. 30. Which word has the similar meaning as the underlined word “span” in paragraph 5? A. Affect. B. Cover. C. Harm. D. Surprise. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. High temperature is beneficial to sleep. B. Climate change is costing valuable sleep. C. Temperature change determines sleep quality. D. Poor sleep has big personal and economic costs. 【答案】28. A 29. A 30. B 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了哥本哈根大学的一项新研究，该研究将睡眠缺失与气候变化联系起来，指出不断升高的夜间温度影响人们的入睡和醒来时间，导致人们睡眠不足，且随着气温上升，睡眠缺失情况会更严重。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。第一段描述了因夜间有点热导致睡眠不安稳，第二天状态不佳的糟糕感受，接着引出“Now a new study links sleep loss with climate (气候) change.(现在一项新研究将睡眠缺失与气候变化联系起来)”可知，由此可知第一段是通过描述生活中常见的睡眠问题引出文章关于气候变化影响睡眠这一主题。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Sleepers tracked in the study lost rest even in places where temperatures weren’t so high, and had trouble getting used to even mildly challenging sleep temperatures.(在研究中被追踪的睡眠者即使在温度不是很高的地方也会失去休息，并且即使是轻微有挑战性的睡眠温度，他们也难以适应)” 可知，小的温度变化也会影响睡眠质量。故选A。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“The dataset was unique in that it didn’t rely on self-reports. It  spanned he world, while the few former studies looking at the direct relationship between climate and sleep focused on just a few people.(这个数据集的独特之处在于它不依赖自我报告。它____全球，而之前少数研究气候与睡眠直接关系的研究只关注了少数人)” 结合前后文，之前研究关注少数人，而这个数据集与之不同，可推测spanned意为“覆盖”，表示数据集覆盖全球，与Cover意义相近。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Now a new study links sleep loss with climate (气候) change. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen found that ever - warmer nighttime temperatures push bedtimes later and wake times earlier, costing us valuable nighttime rest.(现在一项新研究将睡眠缺失与气候变化联系起来。哥本哈根大学的研究人员发现，夜间温度越来越高，使得入睡时间推迟，醒来时间提前，让我们失去了宝贵的夜间休息时间)”直接表明了气候变化与睡眠缺失之间的关联，即气候变化正在导致人们失去宝贵的睡眠时间。接着，文中进一步阐述研究细节，如“Sleepers tracked in the study lost rest even in places where temperatures weren’t so high, and had trouble getting used to even mildly challenging sleep temperatures. And sleep costs, the researchers warn, will rise as temperatures do, likely to cost sleepers an extra 13 to 15 days of poor sleep each year by the end of the century.(在研究中被追踪的睡眠者即使在温度不是很高的地方也会失去休息，并且即使是轻微有挑战性的睡眠温度，他们也难以适应。研究人员警告说，随着气温上升，睡眠成本也会增加，到本世纪末，睡眠者每年可能会额外多经历 13 到 15 天的睡眠不佳)”，强调了气候变化对睡眠的负面影响，以及随着气温升高，这种影响愈发严重。所以选项B“Climate change is costing valuable sleep.（气候变化正在让人们失去宝贵的睡眠）”准确概括了文章主旨。故选B。 D The rapid spread of artificial intelligence has people wondering: who’s most likely to use AI in their daily lives? Many think it’s the tech-savvy – those who understand how AI works — who are most eager to adopt it. Surprisingly, a new research, published in the Journal of Marketing, finds the opposite. People with less knowledge about AI are actually more open to using the technology. We call this difference in adoption the “lower literacy-higher receptivity” link (低识字率 — 高接受度). This link exists across different groups, backgrounds and even countries. For instance, our analysis of data from market research company Ipsos across 27 countries shows that people in nations with lower average AI literacy are more receptive towards AI adoption than those in nations with higher literacy. The reason behind this link lies in how AI now performs tasks we once thought only humans could do. When AI creates a piece of art, writes a heartfelt response or plays a musical instrument, it can feel almost amazing — like it’s crossing into human land. Of course, AI doesn’t actually have human qualities. A chatbot might create an empathetic (共情的) response, but it doesn’t feel empathy (共鸣). People with more technical knowledge about AI understand this, making the technology less mysterious. On the other hand, those with less understanding may see AI as magical. We suggest this sense of magic makes them more open to using AI tools. The lower literacy-higher receptivity link is strongest for using AI tools in areas where people are more likely to ask for emotional support or consulting. When it comes to tasks that don’t need human-like qualities, such as analysing test results, the pattern changes. To make the most of AI, businesses, educators and policymakers need to make this balance. And ideally, this will happen with respect that inspires many people to use this new technology. 32. Who are more likely to use AI in daily lives? A. People who are tech-savvy. B. People in developed countries. C. People with higher average AI literacy. D. People with less knowledge about AI. 33. How does the author prove the “lower literacy-higher receptivity” link? A. By giving examples of AI applications. B. By doing experiments on the use of AI. C. By analyzing data from a market research company. D. By interviewing people with different AI knowledge levels. 34. Why might people with low literacy about AI find it “magical”? A. They believe AI has human emotions. B. They do not understand how AI works. C They have seen AI perform tasks better than humans. D. They are more likely to use AI for emotional support. 35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. AI in Life: Who Uses It? B. AI Use: The Hidden Magic C. AI Tools: Tech-savvy’s Choice D. AI’s Future: A Threat or An Opportunity? 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了关于人工智能（AI）使用的一个有趣现象，即“低识字率—高接受度”链接，指出对AI了解较少的人实际上更愿意采用这项技术，并探讨了这一现象背后的原因以及在不同应用场景下的表现。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Many think it’s the tech-savvy – those who understand how AI works — who are most eager to adopt it.(人工智能的迅速普及让人们不禁思考：谁最有可能在日常生活中使用AI？许多人认为，最热衷于采用AI 的会是那些精通技术、了解 AI 工作原理的人。)”和第二段“Surprisingly, a new research, published in the Journal of Marketing, finds the opposite. People with less knowledge about AI are actually more open to using the technology.(然而，发表在《营销杂志》上的一项新研究却得出了相反的结论。事实上，对AI知识了解较少的人反而更愿意使用这项技术。)”可知，传统观点认为精通技术的人更可能使用 AI，但研究表明实际情况相反——对 AI 知识了解较少的人更愿意使用。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“This link exists across different groups, backgrounds and even countries. For instance, our analysis of data from market research company Ipsos across 27 countries shows that people in nations with lower average AI literacy are more receptive towards AI adoption than those in nations with higher literacy.(这种关联存在于不同群体、背景甚至不同国家之中。例如，我们对市场研究公司Ipsos在27个国家的数据进行分析后发现，平均AI知识水平较低的国家的民众，比AI知识水平较高的国家的民众更愿意接受AI的应用。)”可知，作者通过分析市场研究公司Ipsos在27个国家的数据，证明了“低知识水平—高接受度”的关联。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“On the other hand, those with less understanding may see AI as magical. We suggest this sense of magic makes them more open to using AI tools.(另一方面，理解较少的人可能将AI视为神奇的存在。我们认为，这种“神奇感”使他们更愿意使用 AI 工具。)”可知，对AI技术知识了解较少的人因不了解其工作原理，会将AI完成类人任务的能力视为神奇的。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，全文围绕“谁更可能在日常生活中使用 AI”这一问题展开，通过研究揭示“低知识水平者反而更接受 AI”的现象，并分析其原因。选项A“AI in Life: Who Uses It?(谁在使用AI？)”直接以疑问句式点明文章探讨的核心问题。故选A。 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。 How to Beat the Winter Blues If colder weather and shorter days cause you to feel the winter blues, you’re not alone. ____36____ The good news? There are things you can do to beat the winter blues. Do some physical activity. Physical activity has been shown to decrease the symptoms (症状) of sadness and reduce stress. Start slowly and build up to 30 to 60 minutes a day, five days a week, of various fitness-related activities. ____37____ Maybe you can break the time up into chunks (块) instead of focusing on one longer exercise. For example, if your goal is to walk 30 minutes a day, divide the time into three mini-tasks of 10 minutes each. Call on your support system. Loneliness will make the effects of the winter blues worse. That’s why your friends, family and co-workers should be on speed dial. “It is human contact that is important to our mental health.” Gaveras, a chief psychiatrist says. And when you are dealing with the winter blues, finding a way to spend time with supportive people is key to improving your mood. ____38____ ____39____ Getting outside needs to be a top consideration during the winter months. Since winter blues are worsened by a lack of sun exposure, soaking up the sun — even in winter temperatures — is of great importance. Being in the sunlight helps increase melatonin (褪黑素) production and vitamin D levels, which can lead to an improved emotional state. ____40____ You can spend more time in sunlight there and get some beneficial effects, including decreases in nervousness, confusion and annoyance. A. Enjoy the warm sunlight outside. B. Try eating healthy foods to improve your mood. C. If you fail to get outdoors, move a chair next to an open window. D. Therefore, you can lift your spirits and drive away your winter blues. E. This may include walks outdoors, talks on the phone, or coffee dates. F. It’s not uncommon to experience tiredness, sadness and anxiety in winter. G. However, sometimes you are unwilling to work out when feeling disappointed. 【答案】36. F 37. G 38. E 39. A 40. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了如何驱散“冬季忧郁”。 【36题详解】 根据上文“If colder weather and shorter days cause you to feel the winter blues, you’re not alone.(如果更冷的天气和更短的白天让你感到冬季忧郁，那么你并不孤单)”可知，并不是一个人感到冬季忧郁，说明很多人都这样，F项“在冬天，感到疲倦、悲伤和焦虑并不罕见”与上文语义一致，故选F。 【37题详解】 上文“Start slowly and build up to 30 to 60 minutes a day, five days a week, of various fitness-related activities.(慢慢开始，每周锻炼5天，每天锻炼30到60分钟)”提到每天锻炼30到60分钟，下文“Maybe you can break the time up into chunks (块) instead of focusing on one longer exercise.(也许你可以把这个时间分成几部分，而不是集中在一个更长的锻炼上)”提到分解锻炼时间，故空处应是说无法坚持锻炼的情况，引出下文分解锻炼时间的方法，G项“然而，有时当你感到失望时，你不愿意锻炼”符合语境，故选G。 【38题详解】 上文“And when you are dealing with the winter blues, finding a way to spend time with supportive people is key to improving your mood.(当你在应对冬季抑郁时，找到一种方法和支持你的人在一起是改善情绪的关键)”提到找到一种方法和支持你的人在一起来改善情绪，E项“这可能包括户外散步、电话交谈或咖啡约会”对上文“way”例举，符合语境，故选E。 【39题详解】 根据下文“Getting outside needs to be a top consideration during the winter months. Since winter blues are worsened by a lack of sun exposure, soaking up the sun — even in winter temperatures — is of great importance.(在冬天的几个月里，外出是最重要的考虑因素。由于缺乏阳光照射会加重冬季忧郁，因此吸收阳光——即使在冬季的温度下——也是非常重要的)”可知，本段是说冬天出去享受阳光很重要，A项“享受外面温暖的阳光”适合作为本段主题句，故选A。 【40题详解】 根据下文“You can spend more time in sunlight there and get some beneficial effects, including decreases in nervousness, confusion and annoyance.(你可以在那里花更多的时间在阳光下，得到一些有益的影响，包括减少紧张、困惑和烦恼)”可知，空处应是提及能得到阳光照射的地方，呼应下文“there”，C项“如果你不能到户外去，把椅子搬到开着的窗户旁边”符合语境，故选C。 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 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I had my first vegetable garden when I was 45 years old.

She pinched (捏住) her nose. “Right! Whenever you see me at school, you do it.” Ariella nodded her head but asked, “Why do I have to do that when I see you?” “Well, it’s a cool way for a kid to say hi to her older brother,” I said firmly. Actually, I had decided it was the perfect way to avoid something really embarrassing, like a hug or a kiss, or hearing “I love you!” yelled in front of my friends. At school, I didn’t see Ariella until gym class. At that time, our gym teacher, Mr. Schwartz, was showing us how many sit-ups he could do when Ariella and her classmates walked by and spotted me. Then she grabbed her nose. Mr. Schwartz frowned. “Young lady, this is a gym class after all. A little sweat isn’t a bad thing!” Frightened, Ariella dropped her hand. I nodded a quick hello, but Ariella didn’t notice. The next time I saw Ariella was at lunch. Just as Mrs. Watson was offering a spoonful of spinach (菠菜) to Ariella, I was passing by to return my tray (托盘). Ariella saw me and pinched her nose again. “Does it smell that bad?” Mrs. Watson chuckled. Ariella hesitated, “But…” “It’s OK. I don’t love spinach either.” Mrs. Watson whispered. Ariella shot me a glare, and I mouthed “sorry.” As the day was almost over, I was called to the principal’s office. My heart racing, I feared the signals had caused trouble. However, I was asked to take the bus permission slip (小纸条) to Ariella. She was listening to a story at her classroom. Upon arrival, I requested her teacher, Ms. Brown, to give her the note. At the sound of my voice, Ariella smiled and opened her mouth as if to speak. But instead, she made the signal. Pinch! 注意： 1．续写短文词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: To my great surprise, Ariella’s classmates copied her signal. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After school, Ariella met me by the bus and begged, “Can we use a different signal tomorrow?” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 To my great surprise, Ariella’s classmates copied her signal. One by one, the kids around her began pinching their noses, their eyes darting between Ariella and me with a mix of curiosity and amusement. Almost instantly, the room erupted into a sea of pinched noses, with waves of laughter spreading. “Hush! Put down your fingers!” Ms. Brown looked puzzled and tried to figure out what story was behind this funny signal. As the class got quiet, Ariella explained, “It’s just the way I say hi to him. It’s our secret code for…” She lowered her voice to a whisper. “I love you!” All the kids started laughing all over again. My heart racing, I felt my face burning with embarrassment. I knew I had to escape the situation before it got worse, so I quickly turned and hurried out of the classroom. After school, Ariella met me by the bus and begged. “Can we use a different signal tomorrow?” I looked at her, feeling guilty for the trouble our signal had caused. “Sure, we can come up with something else.” I said firmly. On the bus ride home, we started to brainstorm ideas, laughing and experimenting with different signals. Finally, I suggested, “How about a simple thumbs-up?” Ariella nodded, giving me a thumbs-up and I returned it with a subtle wink. I felt relieved that we had found a new signal, which wouldn’t make both of us embarrassed. It was a small change, but it showed how much I cared about my little sister. By the time we got home, we had practiced our new signal, which was simple but ours. It dawned on me that no matter what signal we used, what mattered most was the love and connection it represented. From then on, I decided to be more open to Ariella’s love in front of friends. Maybe a simple hello or a hug wasn’t so bad after all. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了哥哥为了避免一些特别尴尬的情况，与妹妹约定用捏鼻暗号表达“我爱你”，结果妹妹在教室见到哥哥后捏鼻子，引发同学效仿、陷入尴尬，放学后与妹妹重新约定简单暗号，最终领悟亲情真谛的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“让我大吃一惊的是，Ariella的同学们也开始模仿她的动作。”可知，第一段可描写妹妹捏鼻暗号被同学效仿引发课堂骚动。 ②由第二段首句内容“放学后，Ariella在校车旁等着我，央求道：“我们明天换个别的信号好吗？””可知，第二段可描写放学后兄妹重新商定暗号并领悟亲情意义。 2.续写线索：全班模仿——老师疑惑——哥哥窘迫——共同解决——新信号诞生——领悟亲情 3.词汇激活 行为类‌ ①捏鼻子：pinch nose/nip nose ②开始：start/begin ③逃跑：escape/ flee/ run away 情绪类 ①困惑的：puzzled/confused ②尴尬：embarrassment/awkwardness 【点睛】【高分句型1】I knew I had to escape the situation before it got worse, so I quickly turned and hurried out of the classroom.

Here's why from this year, our school, including teachers, students and the headmaster, we'll stop using paper. Yes, you've heard IT, right? No paper.

However, that’s not always the best choice. The best flight booking site can vary depending on your situation. Google Flights For ease, speed and features, Google Flights is arguably the best website for flight searches. Search results appear almost immediately. Filters (过滤器) let you narrow down to nonstop choices, and limit by price or factor in the price of a bag. One downside is that it doesn’t always show the cheapest prices. Kayak Perhaps the most important reason to use Kayak instead of Google Flights is that it can catch better deals. For example, we found a $550 round-trip flight from Los Angeles to Barcelona using Google Flights. Kayak found a way to lower that price to just $472. Capital One Travel If you are a Capital One cardholder, Capital One Travel might just be the best choice as you can get up to $300 off travel booked through the Capital One Travel portal each cardholder year. Also, you’ll get up to a $50 credit toward future travel if the price drops within the next 10 days. Kiwi Are you willing to book a trip as two separate tickets in order to save money? That’s the idea behind Kiwi. It could mean taking a bus or train from your home city to another to catch a flight to your destination. But if a delay or cancellation causes you to miss your connection, the second airline/bus/train company won’t honor your ticket. 21. What is a disadvantage of Google Flights? A. It filters nonstop flights. B. It shows limited search results. C. It does not show the price of a bag. D. It may not present the cheapest choices. 22. Which of the following offers credit card rewards? A. Google Flights. B. Kayak. C. Capital One Travel. D. Kiwi. 23. Where is the text probably from? A. An airline’s website. B. A finance journal. C. A business magazine. D. A flight booking guide. B While college graduation often marks the end of a long adventure it was just the beginning for recent college graduates Sarah Harper and Sarah Brightfield. Ten days after Harper graduated in July 2023, the couple began a 463-day journey throughout all 50 states and eight Canadian provinces with their yellow camper van (野营车), Peace Blossom. Brightfield began dreaming of vanlife in 2019 during her first road trip in a rented camper van. Harper, on the other hand, had never been camping before. Harper had an interest in travel and adventure but never expected that would come in the form of a camper van. The couple first took short trips, starting with a week-long road trip to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in August 2020. After this, they gradually increased the length of time of their road trips, visiting famous national parks in places like Utah, Wyoming, Colorado and Arizona for two to three weeks at a time. Finally, they decided to set out on the trip of a lifetime following Harper’s graduation. They hit the road with clothes for all seasons and no expectations. The trip literally started with a loud noise, as Peace Blossom’s brake (刹车) lines went out while the two were leaving Kansas City at the trip’s start. To make matters worse, the two decided to ride their bikes around town while waiting on the van repairs, but the bikes were stolen after Brightfield and Harper parked them in a friend’s driveway when they went inside to change clothes. Luckily, they received much help on the rest of their trip. Strangers offered them places to stay, wash clothes and take showers. In Arizona, a man named Dusty pulled them out of a sand dune (沙丘). During the trip, they saw social justice (公正) history at the Emmett Till Memorial in Mississippi. They also saw the real-life effects of climate change during the serious wildfires in Washington State. Brightfield, who studied civil engineering and water quality in college, was attracted to see issues about water resources on the road. 24. What do we know about the couple’s trip from paragraph 1 and 2? A. It was inspired by a national park visit. B. It began immediately after high school. C. It was Brightfield’s dream but new to Harper. D. It lasted more than a year throughout America. 25. What challenge did the couple face right after starting their trip? A. Difficulty in finding a camper van. B. Being stuck in the extreme weather. C. Theft of their bikes during van repairs. D. The van’s breakdown due to engine failure. 26. Why does the author mention Dusty in the last paragraph? A. To show the challenges the couple faced. B. To show the kindness the couple received. C. To stress the important role strangers played. D. To compare the people in Arizona to those in Kansas. 27. Which of the following best describes the couple’s trip of a lifetime? A. Romantic B. Interesting. C. Comfortable. D. Educational. C Everyone knows the horrible feeling: An uncomfortable night, just a little too warm, leads to restless sleep, and then next morning, you feel like a slow shell of yourself. Now a new study links sleep loss with climate (气候) change. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen found that ever-warmer nighttime temperatures push bedtimes later and wake times earlier, costing us valuable nighttime rest. Sleepers tracked in the study lost rest even in places where temperatures weren’t so high, and had trouble getting used to even mildly challenging sleep temperatures. And sleep costs, the researchers warn, will rise as temperatures do, likely to cost sleepers an extra 13 to 15 days of poor sleep each year by the end of the century. It’s a very clear example of how climate change is playing out in people’s everyday lives. Sleep loss from climate change “is already happening,” says Kelton Minor, the lead author of the study at the University of Copenhagen. Minor and his colleagues looked at data collected worldwide between 2021 and 2023 from nearly 50,000 people’s wristband (腕带) activity trackers. The trackers recorded when those people fell asleep, woke up, and how they slept in between. The researchers could match sleepers’ locations with location-specific climate data. That let the researchers compare the sleep data with local outdoor temperatures. They were looking at continuous records of individual people. They could see how someone slept on a cool night in June versus a hot one a few days later, or how they reacted to an unseasonably warm February night. The dataset was unique in that it didn’t rely on self-reports. It spanned the world, while the few former studies looking at the direct relationship between climate and sleep focused on just a few people. What was more amazing were the results. People slept most when outside temperatures were below 50℉ (10℃). Above that temperature, their chances of sleeping less than seven hours went way up. Above 77℉ (25℃), the losses increased rapidly. When outdoor nighttime temperatures topped 86℉ (30℃), people lost an average of about 15 minutes a night. 28. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. To lead in the topic. B. To show climate change. C. To present a terrible night. D. To highlight nighttime rest. 29. What can we learn about the study? A. Small temperature change will affect the sleep quality. B. The trackers can match sleepers’ locations with climate data. C Sleep loss from climate change will happen in the near future. D. Sleepers tracked in the study didn’t lose rest in high-temperature areas. 30. Which word has the similar meaning as the underlined word “span” in paragraph 5? A. Affect. B. Cover. C. Harm. D. Surprise. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. High temperature is beneficial to sleep. B. Climate change is costing valuable sleep. C. Temperature change determines sleep quality. D. Poor sleep has big personal and economic costs. D The rapid spread of artificial intelligence has people wondering: who’s most likely to use AI in their daily lives? Many think it’s the tech-savvy – those who understand how AI works — who are most eager to adopt it. Surprisingly, a new research, published in the Journal of Marketing, finds the opposite. People with less knowledge about AI are actually more open to using the technology. We call this difference in adoption the “lower literacy-higher receptivity” link (低识字率 — 高接受度). This link exists across different groups, backgrounds and even countries. For instance, our analysis of data from market research company Ipsos across 27 countries shows that people in nations with lower average AI literacy are more receptive towards AI adoption than those in nations with higher literacy. The reason behind this link lies in how AI now performs tasks we once thought only humans could do. When AI creates a piece of art, writes a heartfelt response or plays a musical instrument, it can feel almost amazing — like it’s crossing into human land. Of course, AI doesn’t actually have human qualities. A chatbot might create an empathetic (共情的) response, but it doesn’t feel empathy (共鸣). People with more technical knowledge about AI understand this, making the technology less mysterious. On the other hand, those with less understanding may see AI as magical. We suggest this sense of magic makes them more open to using AI tools. The lower literacy-higher receptivity link is strongest for using AI tools in areas where people are more likely to ask for emotional support or consulting. When it comes to tasks that don’t need human-like qualities, such as analysing test results, the pattern changes. To make the most of AI, businesses, educators and policymakers need to make this balance. And ideally, this will happen with respect that inspires many people to use this new technology. 32. Who are more likely to use AI in daily lives? A. People who are tech-savvy. B. People in developed countries. C. People with higher average AI literacy. D. People with less knowledge about AI. 33. How does the author prove the “lower literacy-higher receptivity” link? A. By giving examples of AI applications. B. By doing experiments on the use of AI. C. By analyzing data from a market research company. D. By interviewing people with different AI knowledge levels. 34. Why might people with low literacy about AI find it “magical”? A. They believe AI has human emotions. B. They do not understand how AI works. C. They have seen AI perform tasks better than humans. D. They are more likely to use AI for emotional support. 35. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. AI in Life: Who Uses It? B. AI Use: The Hidden Magic C. AI Tools: Tech-savvy’s Choice D. AI’s Future: A Threat or An Opportunity? 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。 How to Beat the Winter Blues If colder weather and shorter days cause you to feel the winter blues, you’re not alone. ____36____ The good news? There are things you can do to beat the winter blues. Do some physical activity. Physical activity has been shown to decrease the symptoms (症状) of sadness and reduce stress. Start slowly and build up to 30 to 60 minutes a day, five days a week, of various fitness-related activities. ____37____ Maybe you can break the time up into chunks (块) instead of focusing on one longer exercise. For example, if your goal is to walk 30 minutes a day, divide the time into three mini-tasks of 10 minutes each. Call on your support system. Loneliness will make the effects of the winter blues worse. That’s why your friends, family and co-workers should be on speed dial. “It is human contact that is important to our mental health.” Gaveras, a chief psychiatrist says. And when you are dealing with the winter blues, finding a way to spend time with supportive people is key to improving your mood. ____38____ ____39____ Getting outside needs to be a top consideration during the winter months. Since winter blues are worsened by a lack of sun exposure, soaking up the sun — even in winter temperatures — is of great importance. Being in the sunlight helps increase melatonin (褪黑素) production and vitamin D levels, which can lead to an improved emotional state. ____40____ You can spend more time in sunlight there and get some beneficial effects, including decreases in nervousness, confusion and annoyance. A. Enjoy the warm sunlight outside. B. Try eating healthy foods to improve your mood. C. If you fail to get outdoors, move a chair next to an open window. D. Therefore, you can lift your spirits and drive away your winter blues. E. This may include walks outdoors, talks on the phone, or coffee dates. F. It’s not uncommon to experience tiredness, sadness and anxiety in winter. G. However, sometimes you are unwilling to work out when feeling disappointed. 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 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I had my first vegetable garden when I was 45 years old.

She pinched (捏住) her nose. “Right! Whenever you see me at school, you do it.” Ariella nodded her head but asked, “Why do I have to do that when I see you?” “Well, it’s a cool way for a kid to say hi to her older brother,” I said firmly. Actually, I had decided it was the perfect way to avoid something really embarrassing, like a hug or a kiss, or hearing “I love you!” yelled in front of my friends. At school, I didn’t see Ariella until gym class. At that time, our gym teacher, Mr. Schwartz, was showing us how many sit-ups he could do when Ariella and her classmates walked by and spotted me. Then she grabbed her nose. Mr. Schwartz frowned. “Young lady, this is a gym class after all. A little sweat isn’t a bad thing!” Frightened, Ariella dropped her hand. I nodded a quick hello, but Ariella didn’t notice. The next time I saw Ariella was at lunch. Just as Mrs. Watson was offering a spoonful of spinach (菠菜) to Ariella, I was passing by to return my tray (托盘). Ariella saw me and pinched her nose again. “Does it smell that bad?” Mrs. Watson chuckled. Ariella hesitated, “But…” “It’s OK. I don’t love spinach either.” Mrs. Watson whispered. Ariella shot me a glare, and I mouthed “sorry.” As the day was almost over, I was called to the principal’s office. My heart racing, I feared the signals had caused trouble. However, I was asked to take the bus permission slip (小纸条) to Ariella. She was listening to a story at her classroom. Upon arrival, I requested her teacher, Ms. Brown, to give her the note. At the sound of my voice, Ariella smiled and opened her mouth as if to speak. But instead, she made the signal.
