Brainstorming is a creative process that can help generate new and innovative ideas to solve complex problems. It involves bringing together individuals from diverse backgrounds and perspectives to share their ideas freely and build upon each other’s contributions. However, to make the most of this process, it is important to create an environment that encourages active participation and collaboration. Here are some key principles to keep in mind when conducting a brainstorming session.
Firstly, it is important to have a clear vision or goal for the brainstorming session. This will help guide the discussion and ensure that all ideas generated are relevant to the topic at hand. Participants should be encouraged to share their thoughts and ideas freely, without fear of judgment or criticism. By ____31____to each other’s ideas, individuals can build on each other’s contributions and create a more comprehensive understanding of the problem.
When ____32____ the quality of ideas generated during a brainstorming session, it is important to consider both the quantity and the ____33____ . While a high quantity of ideas can be beneficial, it is more important to focus on the quality of the ideas and how well they align with the group’s shared vision. Ideas that are ____34____ or irrelevant to the group’s goals should be discarded in favor of those that are more ____35____.
It is also important to honor ____36____ for more information or clarification on a particular idea. This can help the group better evaluate the idea and determine whether it aligns with their shared vision. If an idea is deemed unworkable or needs are____37____ comprehensively, it is important to recognize this and move on to other ideas that may be more feasible.
In addition to evaluating the quality of ideas, it is important to consider the content of the discussion. The brainstorming session should be focused on generating new ideas and solutions rather than rehashing old ones. Participants should be encouraged to think creatively and outside the box, and to avoid getting bogged down in the details.
The ____38____ of ideas generated during a brainstorming session can also be an important factor to consider. While a high quantity of ideas is not always indicative of a successful session, it can help ensure that all possibilities are explored and considered. Participants should be encouraged to generate as many ideas as possible, without worrying about whether they are practical or feasible.
Ultimately, the success of a brainstorming session depends on the group’s ability to work together towards a shared ____39____. By creating a culture of subscribing to each other’s ideas and evaluating them based on their quality and relevance, we can generate innovative solutions to complex problems that benefit society as a whole. Brainstorming is a powerful tool that can help us overcome the ____40____ that plagues our society, and create a more collaborative and creative future.
III.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分;56-70每题2分)
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context
Doctors are scientists who operate in a world of statistics, odds and probability. Yet they’ve long been taught that when dealing with patients they should convey a reassuring level of confidence and certainty. ___41___, patients expect their doctors to give them a clear diagnosis and a straightforward course of treatment. But now that information about every medical condition imaginable is just a few clicks away, experts are asking whether doctors’ apparent ___42___ when communicating with their patients actually does more harm than good. With the information overload brought by the progress of medicine and technology answers are ___43___ black or white.
Medical schools are only just starting to teach doctors how to deal with this, and patients’ expectations haven’t ___44___, either.
“Medicine has always fallen short of the sort of certainty that we find in math and geometry”, says Dr. Ross Upshur, a researcher at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health in Toronto. “If you think about knowledge and what it does, it’s about ___45___ uncertainty, not about creating certainty.”
Doctors in training, like gamblers, need to be ___46___ working in a field in which they’re constantly weighing the odds based on a myriad of factors. When Upshur teaches medical students how to diagnose an ailment (小恙), he tells them to ___47___ their inquiry — come up with a list of possibilities, rather than quickly home in on a single solution. “Even when you make a diagnosis that you think is firm, you usually don’t have certainty about what would be the best ___48___ and what the outcomes will be in the long run.”
Technology has helped ___49___ the quest for certainty. We are reaching a point where we can feed a list of symptoms into a computer and get a more ___50___ diagnosis than from a doctor. Dr. Richard Schwartzstein, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, sees such developments as both a/an ___51___ and an opportunity. On one hand, he says, “technology tries to push you to a/an ___52___ level of certainty. Do this test to get a 99 percent level of certainty that you have this disease.”
On the other hand, computers can’t ___53___ a diagnosis or a treatment to patients in a comforting way. Take a routine screening test for early-stage lung cancer. Based on your age, your smoking status, and your gender, a computer can do a great job of evaluating the chances of finding a cancerous nodule (癌症结节). It can also ___54___ quite precisely the risk of developing an actual cancer based on the size and shape of a nodule.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
In the vast untouched expanse of wilderness, Isla and her faithful golden retriever (猎犬), Finn danced in a harmony of souls. Together, they weaved through myriad terrains, from shadowed forests echoing with ancient secrets to rugged mountain paths that touched the heavens. Their bond was not of mere circumstance, but of shared dreams, Isla sought quiet away from the urban noise, while every rustle and murmur of the wild ignited Finn’s spirit.
As dawn’s first light kissed the earth, Isla deliberately packed away memories of the nigh while Finn, with eager anticipation, wagged ( 摇摆) his tail, eager for the day’s melodies. Their journey was not charted by maps or compasses, but by the gentle touches of their hearts, caressed by nature’s ideal breezes.
One dusky evening, painted with deep red colors and ethereal purples, an unexpected storm took them off guard, Raindrops, heavy with sorrow, transformed familiar trails into flowing streams, in a desperate bid for refuge, Isla was trapped by the fierce embrace of the currents. It twas Finn’s instinctive courage that shone brightly in that moment of despair, as he moved forward suddenly, securing her backpack with a steadfast grip, drawing her back to safety’s shore.
Nestled in u rocky embrace, they clung to each other against the storm’s fury. Isla whispered tales of bygone days and distant horizons into Finn’s eager cars, In return , he moved slowly and complained weakly, weaving tales without words, sharing a symphony of silent stories.
When the storm’s rage decreased, the world they knew was covered in unfamiliarity. Trails they once danced upon had vanished, and landmarks whispered in unfamiliar tongues. For the first time, Isla felt the weight of disorientation. But Finn, with unwavering confidence, stepped forward, trusting his instincts to unveil the path ahead.
As days melted into weeks, just when hope seemed a distant star, the embrace of a hidden village hugged them gently. Interested by the long exciting journey, villagers welcomed them, their journey becoming woven into the picture of local legend. But the wild’s temptation could not be ignored. Restored, the two partners ventured once more into the embrace of nature, carrying with them the blessings and hopes of newfound friends.
Through the rich and colorful picture of their adventures, it became evident that their true strength was not in conquering the elements but in the unyielding bond they shared. The wild was but a stage for their eternal ballet of friendship and perseverance.

(B)
The Motivated Sequence (序列) of Public Speech
The motivated sequence gets its name partly because it follows john Dewey’s problem solution model for thinking and partly because it makes attractive analyses of these problems and their solutions by tying them to human motives. That is, the motivated sequence is both problem-driven and motivation-centered.
There are five basic steps in the motivated sequence
1.You must get people to attend to some problem, or to feel discomfort strongly enough to want to hear more.
2. You can create more specific wants or desires, a personal sense of need.
3. When wants or needs are created, you can attempt to satisfy them by showing what can be done to solve the problem or relieve the sense of discomfort.
4. Simply describing a course of action may not be enough, so in the fourth place you can visualize the world as it would look if the actions were carried out, and what it might be like if they were not.
5. With that, if you have done these four tasks well, accidence members should be ready to act — to put into practice the proposed solution to their problems.
Five steps
Audience response
l.Attention
Getting attention
I want to listen.
2.Need
Showing the need :

_________ ? _________
5. Action
Requesting action or approval
I will do this.
The motivated sequence can be used to structure many different sorts of speeches. It could be used, for example, in a speech urging your classmates to join a blood donors’ association. Or, you could use it to sell a friend insurance. And you can also use it to talk about social problems, such as the environment and the economic crisis.

The universe expands with every passing second, stretching the space between galaxies like dough rising in an oven. But just how fast is this expansion happening? As telescopes like Hubble strive to answer this fundamental question, they encounter a perplexing gap between theoretical predictions and observed data.
Hubble’s measurements indicate a faster rate of expansion in the modern universe compared to what was expected based on observations of the universe more than 13 billion years ago by the European Space Agency’s Planck satellite. This inconsistency has been a subject of scientific inquiry for several years. However it remains uncertain whether differences in measurement techniques or chance variations are responsible for this disparity.
Recent data from the Hubble telescope have significantly reduced the possibility that this discrepancy is merely a statistical fluke, with the chances now estimated at only 1 in 100,000. This marks a substantial improvement from previous estimates, which placed the odds at 1 in 3,000 less than a year ago. These precise measurements from Hubble lend weight to the hypothesis that new physics may be necessary to reconcile the observed mismatch.
Lead researcher Adam Riess, a Nobel laureate from the Space Telescope Science Institute and Johns Hopkins University, describes the tension between the early and late universe as one of the most exciting developments in cosmology in decades. He emphasizes that the growing disparity cannot be dismissed as a random occurrence and suggests that it may signal the need for a deeper understanding of the cosmos.
To determine distances in the universe, scientists rely on a “cosmic distance ladder” method. This involves accurately measuring distances to nearby galaxies and then using progressively distant galaxies as reference points. By observing stars like Cepheid variables, astronomers can calibrate this distance ladder. Riess and his team have been refining these measurements since 2005, aiming to improve our understanding of cosmic distances.
In their latest study, astronomers used Hubble to observe 70 Cepheid variables in the Large Magellanic Cloud. By comparing these stars with their more distant counterparts in galaxies hosting supernovae, they refined their measurement of the Hubble constant, reducing its uncertainty from 2.2% to 1.9%. Despite this increased precision, their calculated Hubble constant remains at odds with the value predicted by observations of the early universe conducted by Planck.
The Planck satellite, which maps the cosmic microwave background – a remnant of the universe’s early stages – provides crucial data for understanding the universe’s expansion. However, the discrepancy between these measurements and those from Hubble underscores the need for further investigation and the potential for new discoveries in cosmology.
78. Where do measurements of the early universe come from?
A. The space between galaxies.
B. Measurements from Hubble and other telescopes
C. European Space Agency’s Planck satellite.
D. The latest Hubble data.
79. Which of the following statements is in line with Adam Riess’ opinion?
A. The expansion speed of the modern universe is faster than expected
B. New physics may be needed to explain this mismatch.
C. It is unlikely that this discrepancy occurred by chance.
D. Hubble’s tension is the most exciting development in cosmology in decades.
80. What do scientists use to determine the distance of things in the universe?
A. A cosmic distance ladder.
B. Accurate measurements of distances.
C. Milepost markers.
D. The Hubble constant.
81. What did Riess’ team do?
A. They used the Hubble Space Telescope to observe pulsating stars
B. They improved the comparison between
C. They raised the uncertainty of the Hubble constant to 2.2%
D. They reduced the uncertainty in their Hubble constant value to 1.9.
Section C
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.
The Difference Between Homeschooling and Schooling at Home
Homeschooling is not a new concept, Families have chosen this as a primary source of education for decades. Whether they live in a remote urea, travel often, or believe they can provide a more stable education for their children, parents chose to take control of their child's education by providing it at home.
_____82_____ Parents relied on workbooks and other printed materials to supplement their lessons. Today, there aren’t only more tangible resources, but there’s also help in the form of tutoring centers and homeschooling pods — where a group of homeschooled children get together to learn as a class.
While the idea of homeschooling may not be as foreign as it once was, it’s still centered around replacing the teacher with a parent or guardian. Some parents who choose to homeschool may be former teachers, which makes the process a little easier, but it still may not be enough in certain areas.
_______83_______ When many districts were forced to conduct school online, teachers dove in to learn how to navigate various learning management systems. There are a number of online charter schools who are already familiar with these platforms and use them to assign and track student work and progress. Even with an asynchronous learning model, Laurel Springs School teachers are available during office hours to answer questions and may hold various Classes for additional learning support.
Similar to homeschooling, online school is based around a student’s individualized learning journey. ____84____ This allows them time to pursue other passions and develop a more independent outlook by taking ownership of their education
To take it a few steps further, accredited online schools, like Laurel Springs, support this leaning journey with a diverse K-l2 curriculum and instructional support. There are options for, more rigorous instruction through Honors and Ap courses. The Academy at Laurel Springs Laurel delivers an exceptional education for intellectually curious scholars. _____85_____ Laurel Springs is also staffed with an impeccable counseling team, guiding Upper School students through their learning journey along a path to achieve their personal and professional goals. You can’t get all of this through a homeschool program, unless you consult with a wide variety of other organizations.
A A flexible schedule allows students to work whenever and wherever they learn best.
B. Even postgraduate students have the opportunity to take advantage of a competitive program.
C. It’s clear to see how homeschooling, even if done primarily online, isn’t the same as online learning.
D. There may have been limited resources available when the homeschooling movement was fist adopted.
E. One of the main differences between online school and homeschool is that online schools still employ teachers.
F. Many misconceptions may continue to build around the two, including mistaking a stake of digitized worksheets for online classrooms.
IV.Summary Writing
86. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Teenagers should be pulled of the sofa
For many years, scientists thought that the human brain was fully mature before the teen years. They thought that a person's brain growth was complete and the structure was more or less fixed by the age of 3. However, more recent research shows that although the brain reaches its maximum size between the ages of 12 and 14, brain development is not yet complete.
The brain's functionally different sections communicate with each other through synapses- connections between nerve (神经) cells. Scientists have found that synapses grow or die away, depending on how much they are used to process information,
The good news is that teenagers do have the potential, through choice and behavior, to shape their brain development. The brain automatically gets rid of the synapses that it doesn't need in order to make the remaining ones more efficient. During the time the brain is removing synapses, the cells and connections that are used survive, while the ones that are not used die away. For example, if a teenager is doing music, sports or academic studies, those are the cells and connections that will become part of the brain's operating system. But unfortunately, if he or she is lying on the sofa, watching TV and playing computer games, those are the brain cells and connections that will remain into adulthood. Therefore, what you do with your teenage years could have an effect on the rest of your life,
What is important is that learning how synapses grow or die away can help teenagers be better equipped to make more intelligent choices, thus motivating them to take a moment before acting to consider the consequences of their actions. If you don't want to become an adult who is buried in the sofa all day long, pull yourself out of it when you are still a teenager.

【21题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:从前,在非洲的中心,有一位以智慧和勇气著称的国王,他的名字叫Mosi,在他的母语中是“烟”的意思。分析句子结构,此句为there be句型,主句谓语动词是was,后文who引导的定语从句,空格处为从句的谓语动词,此处意为“被人们所知道”,be known for意为“因……而出名”,而且主句中的谓语为一般过去时。故填 was known。
【22题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:为了守护王国,他走过了漫长的道路,年纪轻轻就登上了王位。分析句子结构可知,空格前的主语和谓语为He had come判定空格处为非谓语结构。再根据句意判定,该空所在的位置需要填入动词不定式作目的状语,表示“他走过了很长的路来监视他的王国”。故填to watch。
【23题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:为了守护王国,他走过了漫长的道路,年纪轻轻就登上了王位。分析句子结构可知,空格前的句子的谓语是had come,且空格的提示动词前有逗号,判定此处为非谓语结构。根据句意该空需要填入一个非调语动词来表示主语He的行为,同时这个行为与主句中的had come a long way是同时发生的,因此应该使用现在分词assuming,表示伴随。故填assuming。
【24题详解】
考查连词。句意:一天,国中发生了一场纠纷,两个农夫为一块土地的所有权而争执,他们无法解决,因为他们都声称那块土地是自己的。分析句子结构可知,空格前是主调宾结构的简单句,空格后是含宾语从句的句子,因此这里需要填入一个连词。又根据上下文提及的They could not settle the matter themselves和each claimed the land was theirs可推知“他们自己无法解决这个问题是因为他们每个人都声称这块土地是他们的”,because表示原因。故填because。
【25题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:Mosi王又说:“你不能告诉我猴面包树的种子有多少,你也不能证明这地是谁的。因此,我命令这片土地归你们所有。你们要共同努力,平分劳动的果实。”分析句子结构,该空引导的宾语从句作prove的宾语且该宾语从句中缺少宾语,结合上下文内容,这里需要填入一个指代人的关系代词,表示“土地属于谁”,在句中作宾语,用who或者whom引导。故填 who或者whom。
【26题详解】
考查情态动词。句意:从那天起,他们可以一起在土地上工作,成为最好的朋友。分析句子结构可知,该句不缺少成分,且谓语动词为原型,故考虑情态动词,结合上下文内容可推知,此处想要表述的是“因为国王的决定,他们能够(could)在一起工作,成为最好的朋友”。故填could。
【27题详解】
考查形容词。句意:他们会一坐就是几个小时,听着他睿智的话语,从他的判断中学习。分析句子结构可知,这里需要填入一个形容词或动词的故去分词作表语,“remain+过去分词”表示“某人或某事物仍保持某种状态”,而seated是 seat的过去分词转化而来的形容词,意为“坐着的”。故填seated。
【28题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:因此,摩西国王继续以智慧和公正统治他的王国,为自己在历史编年史上赢得了一席之地。他的故事提醒我们,智慧如何带来和平与和谐。分析句子结构可知,该空处需要填入代词或名词作earning的宾语,又结合句意推知,此处想要表述的是“因此,摩西国王继续以智慧和公平统治他的王国,使他自己(himself)在历史史册上赢得了一席之地”。故填himself。
【29题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:因此,摩西国王继续以智慧和公正统治他的王国,为自己在历史编年史上赢得了一席之地。他的故事提醒我们,智慧如何带来和平与和谐。分析句子结构可知,该空处需要填入一个可以引导宾语从句的连词,且从句中不缺少主干成分,又根据相关句意推知,此处想要表述的是“他的故事给了我们一个关于智慧是如何带来和平与和谐的提醒”,how 有“如何”之意。故填how。
【30题详解】
考査介词。句意:因此,摩西国王继续以智慧和公正统治他的王国,为自己在历史编年史上赢得了一席之地。他的故事提醒我们,智慧如何带来和平与和谐。bring about意为“导致;引起”。故填about。

Brainstorming is a creative process that can help generate new and innovative ideas to solve complex problems. It involves bringing together individuals from diverse backgrounds and perspectives to share their ideas freely and build upon each other’s contributions. However, to make the most of this process, it is important to create an environment that encourages active participation and collaboration. Here are some key principles to keep in mind when conducting a brainstorming session.
Firstly, it is important to have a clear vision or goal for the brainstorming session. This will help guide the discussion and ensure that all ideas generated are relevant to the topic at hand. Participants should be encouraged to share their thoughts and ideas freely, without fear of judgment or criticism. By ____31____to each other’s ideas, individuals can build on each other’s contributions and create a more comprehensive understanding of the problem.
When ____32____ the quality of ideas generated during a brainstorming session, it is important to consider both the quantity and the ____33____ . While a high quantity of ideas can be beneficial, it is more important to focus on the quality of the ideas and how well they align with the group’s shared vision. Ideas that are ____34____ or irrelevant to the group’s goals should be discarded in favor of those that are more ____35____.
It is also important to honor ____36____ for more information or clarification on a particular idea. This can help the group better evaluate the idea and determine whether it aligns with their shared vision. If an idea is deemed unworkable or needs are____37____ comprehensively, it is important to recognize this and move on to other ideas that may be more feasible.
In addition to evaluating the quality of ideas, it is important to consider the content of the discussion. The brainstorming session should be focused on generating new ideas and solutions rather than rehashing old ones. Participants should be encouraged to think creatively and outside the box, and to avoid getting bogged down in the details.
The ____38____ of ideas generated during a brainstorming session can also be an important factor to consider. While a high quantity of ideas is not always indicative of a successful session, it can help ensure that all possibilities are explored and considered.

Doctors are scientists who operate in a world of statistics, odds and probability. Yet they’ve long been taught that when dealing with patients they should convey a reassuring level of confidence and certainty. ___41___, patients expect their doctors to give them a clear diagnosis and a straightforward course of treatment. But now that information about every medical condition imaginable is just a few clicks away, experts are asking whether doctors’ apparent ___42___ when communicating with their patients actually does more harm than good. With the information overload brought by the progress of medicine and technology answers are ___43___ black or white.
Medical schools are only just starting to teach doctors how to deal with this, and patients’ expectations haven’t ___44___, either.
“Medicine has always fallen short of the sort of certainty that we find in math and geometry”, says Dr. Ross Upshur, a researcher at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health in Toronto. “If you think about knowledge and what it does, it’s about ___45___ uncertainty, not about creating certainty.”
Doctors in training, like gamblers, need to be ___46___ working in a field in which they’re constantly weighing the odds based on a myriad of factors. When Upshur teaches medical students how to diagnose an ailment (小恙), he tells them to ___47___ their inquiry — come up with a list of possibilities, rather than quickly home in on a single solution. “Even when you make a diagnosis that you think is firm, you usually don’t have certainty about what would be the best ___48___ and what the outcomes will be in the long run.”
Technology has helped ___49___ the quest for certainty. We are reaching a point where we can feed a list of symptoms into a computer and get a more ___50___ diagnosis than from a doctor. Dr. Richard Schwartzstein, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, sees such developments as both a/an ___51___ and an opportunity. On one hand, he says, “technology tries to push you to a/an ___52___ level of certainty. Do this test to get a 99 percent level of certainty that you have this disease.”
On the other hand, computers can’t ___53___ a diagnosis or a treatment to patients in a comforting way. Take a routine screening test for early-stage lung cancer. Based on your age, your smoking status, and your gender, a computer can do a great job of evaluating the chances of finding a cancerous nodule (癌症结节). It can also ___54___ quite precisely the risk of developing an actual cancer based on the size and shape of a nodule. What it can’t do, ___55___, is decide how to break the news that you have a nodule in your lung that has a 1 percent chance of becoming a cancer.

(A)
In the vast, untouched expanse of wilderness, Isla and her faithful golden retriever (猎犬), Finn danced in a harmony of souls. Together, they weaved through myriad terrains, from shadowed forests echoing with ancient secrets to rugged mountain paths that touched the heavens. Their bond was not of mere circumstance, but of shared dreams, Isla sought quiet away from the urban noise, while every rustle and murmur of the wild ignited Finn’s spirit.
As dawn’s first light kissed the earth, Isla deliberately packed away memories of the nigh while Finn, with eager anticipation, wagged ( 摇摆) his tail, eager for the day’s melodies. Their journey was not charted by maps or compasses, but by the gentle touches of their hearts, caressed by nature’s ideal breezes.
One dusky evening, painted with deep red colors and ethereal purples, an unexpected storm took them off guard, Raindrops, heavy with sorrow, transformed familiar trails into flowing streams, in a desperate bid for refuge, Isla was trapped by the fierce embrace of the currents.

Restored, the two partners ventured once more into the embrace of nature, carrying with them the blessings and hopes of newfound friends.

The Motivated Sequence (序列) of Public Speech
The motivated sequence gets its name partly because it follows john Dewey’s problem solution model for thinking and partly because it makes attractive analyses of these problems and their solutions by tying them to human motives. That is, the motivated sequence is both problem-driven and motivation-centered.
There are five basic steps in the motivated sequence
1.You must get people to attend to some problem, or to feel discomfort strongly enough to want to hear more.
2. You can create more specific wants or desires, a personal sense of need.
3. When wants or needs are created, you can attempt to satisfy them by showing what can be done to solve the problem or relieve the sense of discomfort.
4. Simply describing a course of action may not be enough, so in the fourth place you can visualize the world as it would look if the actions were carried out, and what it might be like if they were not.
5. With that, if you have done these four tasks well, accidence members should be ready to act — to put into practice the proposed solution to their problems.
Five steps
Audience response
l.Attention
Getting attention
I want to listen.
2.Need
Showing the need :
Describing the solution
Something needs to be done
3.Satisfaction
Satisfying the need :
presenting the solution
This is what to do to satisfy the need.
4.Visualization
Visualizing the results
_________ ? _________
5. Action
Requesting action or approval
I will do this.
The motivated sequence can be used to structure many different sorts of speeches. It could be used, for example, in a speech urging your classmates to join a blood donors’ association.

Action(请求行动)。小王说服他的同学加入献血者协会的演讲首先要让人们关注某个问题,吸引听众的注意力,想要听到更多。即第一步为(4) 昨晚一名男子因失血过多而死于交通事故。接下来要创造更具体的需求或欲望,即第二步为(3) 我们地区缺乏各种类型的血液以满足紧急需要。接着通过展示可以做些什么来解决问题或减轻不适感来满足它们,即第三步为(5)献血者协会保证向医学界提供可预测的、稳定的血液供应。然后描述如果行动被执行后会带来什么影响,即第四步为(1)有了稳定的血液供应,突发事件就能得到及时的处理。最后就是将解决问题的办法付诸实践,即第五步为(2)你可以帮忙填写我发的献血者登记卡。所以正确组织该演讲的顺序为(4)(3)(5)(1)(2),故选A。故选A。
(C)
The universe expands with every passing second, stretching the space between galaxies like dough rising in an oven. But just how fast is this expansion happening? As telescopes like Hubble strive to answer this fundamental question, they encounter a perplexing gap between theoretical predictions and observed data.
Hubble’s measurements indicate a faster rate of expansion in the modern universe compared to what was expected based on observations of the universe more than 13 billion years ago by the European Space Agency’s Planck satellite. This inconsistency has been a subject of scientific inquiry for several years. However, it remains uncertain whether differences in measurement techniques or chance variations are responsible for this disparity.
Recent data from the Hubble telescope have significantly reduced the possibility that this discrepancy is merely a statistical fluke, with the chances now estimated at only 1 in 100,000. This marks a substantial improvement from previous estimates, which placed the odds at 1 in 3,000 less than a year ago. These precise measurements from Hubble lend weight to the hypothesis that new physics may be necessary to reconcile the observed mismatch.
Lead researcher Adam Riess, a Nobel laureate from the Space Telescope Science Institute and Johns Hopkins University, describes the tension between the early and late universe as one of the most exciting developments in cosmology in decades. He emphasizes that the growing disparity cannot be dismissed as a random occurrence and suggests that it may signal the need for a deeper understanding of the cosmos.
To determine distances in the universe, scientists rely on a “cosmic distance ladder” method. This involves accurately measuring distances to nearby galaxies and then using progressively distant galaxies as reference points. By observing stars like Cepheid variables, astronomers can calibrate this distance ladder. Riess and his team have been refining these measurements since 2005, aiming to improve our understanding of cosmic distances.
In their latest study, astronomers used Hubble to observe 70 Cepheid variables in the Large Magellanic Cloud. By comparing these stars with their more distant counterparts in galaxies hosting supernovae, they refined their measurement of the Hubble constant, reducing its uncertainty from 2.2% to 1.9%. Despite this increased precision, their calculated Hubble constant remains at odds with the value predicted by observations of the early universe conducted by Planck.
The Planck satellite, which maps the cosmic microwave background – a remnant of the universe’s early stages – provides crucial data for understanding the universe’s expansion. However, the discrepancy between these measurements and those from Hubble underscores the need for further investigation and the potential for new discoveries in cosmology.
78. Where do measurements of the early universe come from?
A. The space between galaxies.
B. Measurements from Hubble and other telescopes
C. European Space Agency’s Planck satellite.
D. The latest Hubble data.
79. Which of the following statements is in line with Adam Riess’ opinion?
A. The expansion speed of the modern universe is faster than expected
B. New physics may be needed to explain this mismatch.
C. It is unlikely that this discrepancy occurred by chance.
D. Hubble’s tension is the most exciting development in cosmology in decades.
80. What do scientists use to determine the distance of things in the universe?
A. A cosmic distance ladder.
B. Accurate measurements of distances.
C. Milepost markers.
D. The Hubble constant.
81. What did Riess’ team do?
A They used the Hubble Space Telescope to observe pulsating stars
B. They improved the comparison between
C. They raised the uncertainty of the Hubble constant to 2.2%
D. They reduced the uncertainty in their Hubble constant value to 1.9.

The Difference Between Homeschooling and Schooling at Home
Homeschooling is not a new concept, Families have chosen this as a primary source of education for decades. Whether they live in a remote urea, travel often, or believe they can provide a more stable education for their children, parents chose to take control of their child's education by providing it at home.
_____82_____ Parents relied on workbooks and other printed materials to supplement their lessons. Today, there aren’t only more tangible resources, but there’s also help in the form of tutoring centers and homeschooling pods — where a group of homeschooled children get together to learn as a class.
While the idea of homeschooling may not be as foreign as it once was, it’s still centered around replacing the teacher with a parent or guardian. Some parents who choose to homeschool may be former teachers, which makes the process a little easier, but it still may not be enough in certain areas.
_______83_______ When many districts were forced to conduct school online, teachers dove in to learn how to navigate various learning management systems. There are a number of online charter schools who are already familiar with these platforms and use them to assign and track student work and progress. Even with an asynchronous learning model, Laurel Springs School teachers are available during office hours to answer questions and may hold various Classes for additional learning support.
Similar to homeschooling, online school is based around a student’s individualized learning journey. ____84____ This allows them time to pursue other passions and develop a more independent outlook by taking ownership of their education
To take it a few steps further, accredited online schools, like Laurel Springs, support this leaning journey with a diverse K-l2 curriculum and instructional support. There are options for, more rigorous instruction through Honors and Ap courses. The Academy at Laurel Springs Laurel delivers an exceptional education for intellectually curious scholars. _____85_____ Laurel Springs is also staffed with an impeccable counseling team, guiding Upper School students through their learning journey along a path to achieve their personal and professional goals. You can’t get all of this through a homeschool program, unless you consult with a wide variety of other organizations.
A. A flexible schedule allows students to work whenever and wherever they learn best.
B. Even postgraduate students have the opportunity to take advantage of a competitive program.
C. It’s clear to see how homeschooling, even if done primarily online, isn’t the same as online learning.
D. There may have been limited resources available when the homeschooling movement was fist adopted.
E. One of the main differences between online school and homeschool is that online schools still employ teachers.
F. Many misconceptions may continue to build around the two, including mistaking a stake of digitized worksheets for online classrooms.

IV.Summary Writing
86. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Teenagers should be pulled of the sofa
For many years, scientists thought that the human brain was fully mature before the teen years. They thought that a person's brain growth was complete and the structure was more or less fixed by the age of 3. However, more recent research shows that although the brain reaches its maximum size between the ages of 12 and 14, brain development is not yet complete.
The brain's functionally different sections communicate with each other through synapses- connections between nerve (神经) cells. Scientists have found that synapses grow or die away, depending on how much they are used to process information,
The good news is that teenagers do have the potential, through choice and behavior, to shape their brain development. The brain automatically gets rid of the synapses that it doesn't need in order to make the remaining ones more efficient. During the time the brain is removing synapses, the cells and connections that are used survive, while the ones that are not used die away. For example, if a teenager is doing music, sports or academic studies, those are the cells and connections that will become part of the brain's operating system. But unfortunately, if he or she is lying on the sofa, watching TV and playing computer games, those are the brain cells and connections that will remain into adulthood. Therefore, what you do with your teenage years could have an effect on the rest of your life,
What is important is that learning how synapses grow or die away can help teenagers be better equipped to make more intelligent choices, thus motivating them to take a moment before acting to consider the consequences of their actions. If you don't want to become an adult who is buried in the sofa all day long, pull yourself out of it when you are still a teenager.

Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets
87. 正如预期的那样,艺术节引起了学生对于民俗文化的兴趣(generate)(汉译英)
_____________________________________________________________
【答案】As is expected, Art Festival has generated students’ interest in folk culture.
/As (was) expected, the art festival generated the tourists’/visitors’ interest in folk culture.
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态和定语从句。generate是动词,意思是“产生;引起”,“艺术节”的英文是Art Festival或者the art festival,“民俗文化”的英文是folk culture,“游客”的英文可以是tourist或者visitor。整个句子可以处理成主从复合句,主句部分为简单的主谓宾结构,从句考查as引导的非限制定语从句“As was expected”,其中was可以省略。根据句意,整个句子可用一般过去时,也可用一般现在时,则从句为“As is expected”,主句用现在完成时表影响。故可翻译为As is expected, Art Festival has generated students’ interest in folk culture./As (was) expected, the art festival generated the tourists’/visitors’ interest in folk culture.
88. 你是否意识到这个地区的每一个部落有自己的不成文的规则?(aware) (汉译英)
_____________________________________________________________
【答案】Have you been aware that every tribe in this area has its own unwritten rules?
【解析】
【详解】考查时态、宾语从句。表示“你”用you,作主语。表示“意识到”用be aware,强调对现在的影响,时态用现在完成时,主语为you,助动词用have。表示“你是否意识到”用have you been aware,句首单词,首字母大写。表示“这个地区的每一个部落有自己的不成文的规则”用宾语从句。宾语从句中:表示“这个地区的每一个部落”用every tribe in this area,作主语;表示“有”用have,本句描述客观事实,故时态用一般现在时,主语为第三人称单数,谓语也用第三人称单数has;表示“自己的不成文的规则”用its own unwritten rules,作宾语;从句不缺少成分或含义,用that引导。故翻译为:Have you been aware that every tribe in this area has its own unwritten rules?
89. 这家重点实验室将和当地职业学校签订合作协议,为学生提供不一般的互动体验。(sign)(汉译英)
_____________________________________________________________
【答案】The key laboratory will sign cooperation agreements with local vocational schools, which will bring students an unusual interactive experience.
/The key laboratory/lab will sign a cooperation agreement with local vocational schools to provide students with unusual interactive experiences.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态,形容词,名词,动词短语,介词,动词不定式。“实验室”为名词laboratory或者lab;表示“重点的”为形容词key;所以“重点实验室”为The key laboratory/lab;表示“签订,签署”为动词sign;“与……签订合作协议”可以译为sign a cooperation agreement with…,根据汉语意思可知,此处表示的是将来的时间,所以用一般将来时;“当地的”为形容词local;“职业学校”为名词短语vocational school,数量大于一用复数形式。所以主句部分为The key laboratory/lab will sign a cooperation agreement with local vocational schools。表示“提供”用provide,“向某人提供某物”为provide sb. with sth;“不一般的”为形容词unusual;“互动的”为形容词interactive;“体验”experience为可数名词,此处用复数;所以目的状语部分为不定式短语to provide students with unusual interactive experiences,此处也可用非限制定语从句形式,前句提到的事做先行词,在从句中作主语,用which引导,“为学生提供不一般的互动体验”译为bring students an unusual interactive experience,时态用一般将来时。故答案为The key laboratory will sign cooperation agreements with local vocational schools, which will bring students an unusual interactive experience./The key laboratory/lab will sign a cooperation agreement with local vocational schools to provide students with unusual interactive experiences.
90. 这部电视连续剧的剧情围绕某一虚拟的华南城市展开,在剧中汽车工业一直是该城市的骄傲。(where) (汉译英)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】This TV series revolves around a fictional city in southern China, where the auto industry has long been a source of pride./The plot of this TV series revolves around a fictional city in southern China, where the auto industry has always been the pride of the city.
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。根据括号提示词where可以得知,本题在语法方面侧重于考查考生对从句的(where引导的非限制性定语从句)掌握情况。where作为定语从句中的关系副词,需要出现在表示地点的名词或代词之后,且从句部分不缺少主干成分。“电视连续剧”的英文是TV series,“剧情”可以翻译成“围绕着……展开”,英文是“revolve around...”,“虚拟的”的英文是fictional,“华南城市”的英文是southern China,“汽车工业”的英文是auto industry,“该城市的骄傲”可以翻译成“a source of pride”或者“the pride of the city”,可以将“华南城市”当做先行词,中文的后半句当做定语从句处理,由于是描述电视剧的剧情,整个句子使用一般现在时,故可翻译成This TV series revolves around a fictional city in southern China, where the auto industry has long been a source of pride./The plot of this TV series revolves around a fictional city in southern China, where the auto industry has always been the pride of the city.
