On March 28, 1976, Ada Limón was born into a family of artists and teachers in Sonoma, California, U.S. By her own account, Limón fell in love with poetry in high school, but much of her time then was spent on theatre productions. She went on to graduate from the University of Washington with a B.A. in drama in 1998.
Limón then graduated with an M.F.A. in poetry in 2001 from the creative writing program at New York University. To support her poetry writing, Limón took a marketing job at Condé Nast, the publisher of such magazines as Vogue and The New Yorker. While her marketing career grew steadily, Limón published three books of poetry.
In 2010, her mother’s death at age 51 inspired her to reconsider her own career. She quit her marketing job and moved to Kentucky to spend her time writing full-time. In 2015, she published Bright Dead Things, which was a finalist (入围作品) for the National Book Awards. The book was praised because it expressed thoughts and feelings in a direct way, covering such themes as aging parents and lasting pain.
Aside from writing poems, Ada Limón also taught at Queens University of Charlotte and hosted a radio show called The Slowdown. She saw these roles as chances to introduce more people to poetry. Her regular work in education and on the radio wasn’t just because she loved poetry; it was also about getting others to love and understand it as something important and easy to relate to in our daily lives.
Limón was named the 24th Poet Laureate in 2022. Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden, who chose Limón as the laureate, described her as a poet who makes connections. “Her accessible, engaging poems make us aware of where we are and who we share our world with. They speak of beauty and heartbreak in ways that can help us move forward,” said Carla. In 2023, Limón wrote In Praise of Mystery: A Poem for Europa at NASA’s request, which will be carved on the spacecraft planned for the 2024 mission to Europa.
4. What can we learn about Limón’s high school life?
A. She ran a business to support poetry.
B. She preferred art learning to poetry writing.
C. She devoted much time to theatre productions.
D. She took part-time jobs while studying drama.
5. Why was Limón’s Bright Dead Things in 2015 spoken highly of?
A. Because it was frank.
B. Because it was entertaining.
C. Because it was fashionable.
D. Because it was informative.
6 What is the main focus of the 4th paragraph about Limón?
A. Limón’s free-time activities.
B. Limón’s reading experiences.
C. Limón’s achievements in teaching.
D. Limón’s efforts to promote poetry.
7. What did Carla Hayden probably think of Limón’s poems?
A. Humorous. B. Inspiring. C. Confusing. D. Dreamy.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要介绍美国桂冠诗人Ada Limón的诗歌创作经历。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“but much of her time then was spent on theatre productions. She went on to graduate from the University of Washington with a B.A. in drama in 1998.(但她当时大部分时间都花在了戏剧制作上。她继续在华盛顿大学深造,并在1998年获得了戏剧学士学位。)”可知,Limón在学生时代专注于剧作,故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The book was praised because it expressed thoughts and feelings in a direct way, covering such themes as aging parents and lasting pain.(这本书受到了赞扬,因为它以直接的方式表达了思想和情感,涉及了诸如年迈的父母和持久的痛苦等主题。)”可知,这本诗集 Bright Dead Things因其简单坦率的风格,而被人们称赞。故选A项。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。概括第四段“Aside from writing poems, Ada Limón also taught at Queens University of Charlotte and hosted a radio show called The Slowdown. She saw these roles as chances to introduce more people to poetry.(Ada Limón除了写诗外,还在夏洛特皇后大学教书,并主持了一个名为《减速》的广播节目。她把这些角色视为向更多人介绍诗歌的机会。)”可知,Limón在诗歌创作之余教授诗歌,在诗歌主题广播秀里担任主持人,所以这一段主要介绍Limón在诗歌推广上的努力。故选D项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Her accessible, engaging poems make us aware of where we are and who we share our world with. They speak of beauty and heartbreak in ways that can help us move forward(她的诗歌通俗易懂、引人入胜,让我们意识到我们身在何处,以及我们与谁共享这个世界。它们以能够帮助我们向前迈进的方式讲述美丽和心碎)”可知,Carla Hayden认为Limón通俗易懂的诗歌让我们了解自己的处境,她的诗歌激励我们前行,所以她的诗歌具有启发性。故选B项。
C
Walking is the best form of exercise. It is good for the upper respiratory (与呼吸有关的) system and the legs. It helps us control our weight and blood sugar. Walking is also a good way to help you make more friends, bringing chances to see new things and meet new people. Personally I try to walk at least 5 miles daily.
As well as walking, I also cycle around Xiamen. Cycling is great for weight loss and helps to build stamina (耐力). However, cycling does not allow for the same level of social contact as a walk. It is for this reason that I will strongly suggest that you try long-distance walking if you want to be physically healthy. I originally started walking around Xiamen because I didn’t have a car, but I soon started to enjoy the walking for its own sake.
I have also made many friends during my walks. It’s not uncommon for my 5-mile walk to sometimes take as long as 2 or 3 hours, because I stop to chat with different shop owners along my route. These days, if I skip my walk for even one day, the people in the shops may want to know why I didn’t come.
I’ll never forget the first time some people followed me when I was walking, and asked if it was okay for them to walk with me, I really didn’t know what to say, so I just replied that I didn’t mind. I have been invited for lunch, dinner and sometimes just to sit and drink tea with total strangers. There is nothing more pleasant than walking past a schoolyard and hearing all the kids say hello to me.
8 Why did the author have to take a walk at the very beginning?
A. He wanted to build up his strength. B. He enjoyed walking.
C. He had no car. D. He wished to make friends.
9. What does the underlined word “skip” in the third paragraph probably mean?
A. Jump lightly. B. Give up. C. Leave out. D. Change quickly.
10. What can be learned from the text?
A. Cycling allows for no social contact. B. Walking is better than cycling.
C. To be healthy, it’s better to cycle. D. The author prefers walking to cycling.
11. Why does the author tell us his walking experience in the last two paragraphs?
A. To share the unforgettable experience with us.
B. To show the meaning of walking in social contact.
C. To tell us how to develop the habit of walking.
D. To explain why a usual walk takes him as long as 2 or 3 hours.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者通过亲身经历告诉我们散步是最好的运动形式,它有利于身体健康,也有助于人们的社会交往。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“I originally started walking around Xiamen because I didn’t have a car, but I soon started to enjoy the walking for its own sake.(我最初在厦门散步是因为我没有车,但很快我就开始喜欢散步了)”可知,作者最初在厦门不得不走路是因为那时候没车。故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在的后半句话“the people in the shops may want to know why I didn’t come(商店里的人可能想知道我为什么不来)”可知,商店的人或许想知道作者为什么没有去散步,就意味前半句意为“如果我哪天没有去散步”,所以划线的单词意为“放弃”。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“However, cycling does not allow for the same level of social contact as a walk. It is for this reason that I will strongly suggest that you try long-distance walking if you want to be physically healthy. (然而,骑自行车不允许与散步同等程度的社交接触。正是因为这个原因,如果你想保持身体健康,我强烈建议你尝试长途步行)”以及第三段的“I have also made many friends during my walks.(我在散步时也交了很多朋友)”可知,文中列举了走路带给他的好处,由此可推知,与骑车相比,作者更喜欢走路。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“I have also made many friends during my walks. It’s not uncommon for my 5-mile walk to sometimes take as long as 2 or 3 hours, because I stop to chat with different shop owners along my route.(我在散步时也交了很多朋友。我步行5英里有时需要2到3个小时,这并不罕见,因为我会停下来与沿途不同的店主聊天)”以及最后一段的“I have been invited for lunch, dinner and sometimes just to sit and drink tea with total strangers. There is nothing more pleasant than walking past a schoolyard and hearing all the kids say hello to me.(我被邀请共进午餐、晚餐,有时只是和完全陌生的人坐在一起喝茶。没有什么比走过校园,听到所有的孩子向我问好更令人愉快的了)”可知,这两段主要讲述了作者在散步过程中结识了许多不同的朋友,给作者带来欢乐,由此可推知,作者在最后两段告诉我们他的行走经历是为了向我们展示散步在社交方面的意义。故选B。
D
As we live longer and technology continues its rapid development, we can imagine a future where machines will enlarge our human abilities and help us make better life choices, from health to wealth. Through our dialogue and digital pieces, artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) will understand our life goals and wishes, our duties and limitations. It will help us plan different life events, so we can spend more time enjoying life’s moments.
The ability for AI to understand the complexities and slight differences of human conversation is, however, one hurdle (障碍). There are several thousand known living languages in the world today. Adding to the difficulties are the varied ways words are shared and used across different cultures, including grammar, levels of education and styles of the speakers. Google Duplex, the technology supporting Google Assistant, which places phone calls using a natural-sounding human voice instead of a robotic one, is an early attempt to address such challenges in human communications. But these are just initial whispers in voice of AI’s long journey.
Beyond making reservations and conducting simple dialogues, virtual assistants will need to become far more useful and further fit into the parts of our everyday lives. Not only will they need to foresee what we need before we ask, they also need to understand the context of our conversations and react accordingly. Imagine a snow day when school is canceled for the kids. Knowing that you must now stay at home with your children, your phone would remind you, asking if you’d like your meetings moved to the following day. Alternatively, imagine how much more pleasant your journey home from a business trip would be if your phone could automatically arrange for a ride waiting to pick you up at the airport, based on your travel plan, location, and habits. The possibilities are endless.
12. What do we know about AI?
A It narrows our abilities. B. It limits our better choice.
C. It helps us enjoy life better. D. It doesn’t know our limitations.
13. What makes it hard for AI to understand what humans say?
A. Low level of speakers. B. Varieties of languages and cultures.
C. Imperfection of AI. D. Similarities between languages.
14. Which word can best describe the author’s attitude towards AI?
A. Supportive. B. Uncaring. C. Worried. D. Doubtful.
15. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A. AI Will Replace Humans B. AI Will Set Goals for Us
C. AI Will Meet Challenges D. AI Will Be Part of Our Daily Lives
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了未来人工智能会给我们生活带来很多便利,成为我们日常生活的一部分。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“It will help us plan different life events, so we can spend more time enjoying life’s moments.(它将帮助我们计划不同的生活事件,所以我们可以花更多的时间享受生活时刻)”可知,人工智能帮助我们更好地享受生活。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The ability for AI to understand the complexities and slight differences of human conversation is, however, one hurdle (障碍). There are several thousand known living languages in the world today. Adding to the difficulties are the varied ways words are shared and used across different cultures, including grammar, levels of education and styles of the speakers.(然而,人工智能理解人类对话的复杂性和细微差异的能力是一个障碍。世界上现存几千种语言。更加困难的是,不同文化之间共享和使用单词的方式各不相同,包括语法、教育水平和说话者的风格)”可知,语言和文化的多样性让人工智能很难理解人类说的话。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“It will help us plan different life events, so we can spend more time enjoying life’s moments.(它将帮助我们计划不同的生活事件,所以我们可以花更多的时间享受生活时刻)”以及最后一段中“The possibilities are endless.(可能性是无限的)”可知,作者一直在强调人工智能的优点,且对人工智能的未来充满期待。由此推知,作者是支持人工智能的。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“As we live longer and technology continues its rapid development, we can imagine a future where machines will enlarge our human abilities and help us make better life choices, from health to wealth. Through our dialogue and digital pieces, AI (artificial intelligence) will understand our life goals and wishes, our duties and limitations.(随着我们寿命的延长和技术的持续快速发展,我们可以想象一个未来,机器将扩大我们人类的能力,帮助我们从健康到财富等方面,做出更好的生活选择。通过我们的对话和数字作品,人工智能将了解我们的生活目标和愿望,我们的责任和限制)”可知,文章主要讲述了未来人工智能会给我们生活带来很多便利,成为我们日常生活的一部分。由此可知,D选项“人工智能将成为日常生活的一部分”适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。

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。
One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left. He was so hungry that he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.
However, he lost his courage when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal, he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. A warm smile lit his face. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?” “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness.” So the boy had no choice but to thank her from the bottom of his heart.
As Howard Kelly left that house, as well as feeling stronger physically, he sensed a return of his faith in God which he had nearly abandoned.
Years later the young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were confused, so they sent her to the big city, where they knew that the specialists would be able to diagnose(诊断) this rare sickness. Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous in the medical community, was called in as a consultant (会诊医师).
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 When he heard the name of the town where the young woman lived, a strange light filled his eyes. He recalled the kind-hearted and enthusiastic lady who offered him a glass of milk years ago. Hurriedly, he walked into the ward where she was treated. On entering the room, he spotted her sleeping in peace in bed and recognized the familiar face in no time. From that day on, he gave special attention to her case. After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval.
He looked at it, then wrote something in the blank space and the bill was sent to the young woman’s room. She was afraid to open it because she was positive that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off. Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words: “Paid in full with a glass of milk.” The note was signed by Dr. Howard Kelly. Tears of joy flooded her eyes. Love spread through human hearts and hands.

On March 28, 1976, Ada Limón was born into a family of artists and teachers in Sonoma, California, U.S. By her own account, Limón fell in love with poetry in high school, but much of her time then was spent on theatre productions. She went on to graduate from the University of Washington with a B.A. in drama in 1998.
Limón then graduated with an M.F.A. in poetry in 2001 from the creative writing program at New York University. To support her poetry writing, Limón took a marketing job at Condé Nast, the publisher of such magazines as Vogue and The New Yorker. While her marketing career grew steadily, Limón published three books of poetry.
In 2010, her mother’s death at age 51 inspired her to reconsider her own career. She quit her marketing job and moved to Kentucky to spend her time writing full-time. In 2015, she published Bright Dead Things, which was a finalist (入围作品) for the National Book Awards. The book was praised because it expressed thoughts and feelings in a direct way, covering such themes as aging parents and lasting pain.
Aside from writing poems, Ada Limón also taught at Queens University of Charlotte and hosted a radio show called The Slowdown. She saw these roles as chances to introduce more people to poetry. Her regular work in education and on the radio wasn’t just because she loved poetry; it was also about getting others to love and understand it as something important and easy to relate to in our daily lives.
Limón was named the 24th Poet Laureate in 2022. Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden, who chose Limón as the laureate, described her as a poet who makes connections. “Her accessible, engaging poems make us aware of where we are and who we share our world with. They speak of beauty and heartbreak in ways that can help us move forward,” said Carla. In 2023, Limón wrote In Praise of Mystery: A Poem for Europa at NASA’s request, which will be carved on the spacecraft planned for the 2024 mission to Europa.
4. What can we learn about Limón’s high school life?
A. She ran a business to support poetry.
B. She preferred art learning to poetry writing.
C. She devoted much time to theatre productions.
D. She took part-time jobs while studying drama.
5. Why was Limón’s Bright Dead Things in 2015 spoken highly of?
A. Because it was frank.
B. Because it was entertaining.
C. Because it was fashionable.
D. Because it was informative.
6. What is the main focus of the 4th paragraph about Limón?
A. Limón’s free-time activities.
B. Limón’s reading experiences.
C. Limón’s achievements in teaching.
D. Limón’s efforts to promote poetry.
7. What did Carla Hayden probably think of Limón’s poems?
A. Humorous. B. Inspiring. C. Confusing. D. Dreamy.
C
Walking is the best form of exercise. It is good for the upper respiratory (与呼吸有关的) system and the legs. It helps us control our weight and blood sugar. Walking is also a good way to help you make more friends, bringing chances to see new things and meet new people. Personally I try to walk at least 5 miles daily.
As well as walking, I also cycle around Xiamen. Cycling is great for weight loss and helps to build stamina (耐力). However, cycling does not allow for the same level of social contact as a walk. It is for this reason that I will strongly suggest that you try long-distance walking if you want to be physically healthy. I originally started walking around Xiamen because I didn’t have a car, but I soon started to enjoy the walking for its own sake.
I have also made many friends during my walks. It’s not uncommon for my 5-mile walk to sometimes take as long as 2 or 3 hours, because I stop to chat with different shop owners along my route. These days, if I skip my walk for even one day, the people in the shops may want to know why I didn’t come.
I’ll never forget the first time some people followed me when I was walking, and asked if it was okay for them to walk with me, I really didn’t know what to say, so I just replied that I didn’t mind. I have been invited for lunch, dinner and sometimes just to sit and drink tea with total strangers. There is nothing more pleasant than walking past a schoolyard and hearing all the kids say hello to me.
8. Why did the author have to take a walk at the very beginning?
A. He wanted to build up his strength. B. He enjoyed walking.
C. He had no car. D. He wished to make friends.
9. What does the underlined word “skip” in the third paragraph probably mean?
A. Jump lightly. B. Give up. C. Leave out. D. Change quickly.
10. What can be learned from the text?
A. Cycling allows for no social contact. B. Walking is better than cycling.
C. To be healthy, it’s better to cycle. D. The author prefers walking to cycling.
11. Why does the author tell us his walking experience in the last two paragraphs?
A. To share the unforgettable experience with us.
B. To show the meaning of walking in social contact.
C. To tell us how to develop the habit of walking.
D. To explain why a usual walk takes him as long as 2 or 3 hours.
D
As we live longer and technology continues its rapid development, we can imagine a future where machines will enlarge our human abilities and help us make better life choices, from health to wealth. Through our dialogue and digital pieces, artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) will understand our life goals and wishes, our duties and limitations. It will help us plan different life events, so we can spend more time enjoying life’s moments.
The ability for AI to understand the complexities and slight differences of human conversation is, however, one hurdle (障碍). There are several thousand known living languages in the world today. Adding to the difficulties are the varied ways words are shared and used across different cultures, including grammar, levels of education and styles of the speakers. Google Duplex, the technology supporting Google Assistant, which places phone calls using a natural-sounding human voice instead of a robotic one, is an early attempt to address such challenges in human communications. But these are just initial whispers in voice of AI’s long journey.
Beyond making reservations and conducting simple dialogues, virtual assistants will need to become far more useful and further fit into the parts of our everyday lives. Not only will they need to foresee what we need before we ask, they also need to understand the context of our conversations and react accordingly. Imagine a snow day when school is canceled for the kids. Knowing that you must now stay at home with your children, your phone would remind you, asking if you’d like your meetings moved to the following day. Alternatively, imagine how much more pleasant your journey home from a business trip would be if your phone could automatically arrange for a ride waiting to pick you up at the airport, based on your travel plan, location, and habits. The possibilities are endless.
12. What do we know about AI?
A. It narrows our abilities. B. It limits our better choice.
C. It helps us enjoy life better. D. It doesn’t know our limitations.
13. What makes it hard for AI to understand what humans say?
A. Low level of speakers. B. Varieties of languages and cultures.
C. Imperfection of AI. D. Similarities between languages.
14. Which word can best describe the author’s attitude towards AI?
A. Supportive. B. Uncaring. C. Worried. D. Doubtful.
15. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A. AI Will Replace Humans B. AI Will Set Goals for Us

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left. He was so hungry that he decided to beg for a meal at the next house.
However, he lost his courage when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal, he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. A warm smile lit his face. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?” “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness.” So the boy had no choice but to thank her from the bottom of his heart.
As Howard Kelly left that house, as well as feeling stronger physically, he sensed a return of his faith in God which he had nearly abandoned.
Years later the young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were confused, so they sent her to the big city, where they knew that the specialists would be able to diagnose(诊断) this rare sickness. Dr. Howard Kelly, now famous in the medical community, was called in as a consultant (会诊医师).
