A student. B. A teacher. C. A reporter. 20. What is the second habit? A. Recognizing one’s own errors. B. Working at being social. C. Trying to be open-minded. 【答案】18. A 19. B 20. C 【解析】 【详解】Although people value wisdom, it is very difficult to make themselves a wise person. Jimmy Thomas, a sociology professor at the university of Michigan and his students did some related studies and here’s what they’ve found. Firstly work at being social. Studies show that people who stay connected to others show higher levels of wisdom than those who remain alone. Make an effort to join a new club or invite a friend for coffee. Secondly practice being open minded wisdom involves understanding an issue without letting emotions get in the way. During the course of every day make a note of the issues that bother you and take a moment to see them from another side. Thirdly learn to say I could be wrong. A wise person understands that it is impossible to know everything and that life can take unexpected turns. Recognizing your errors can lead to greater wisdom. Last but not least read news. You cannot make balanced choices unless you understand world circumstances. Almost everyone has the potential to become wiser particularly if you strengthen these habits. 第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共 11小题;每小题 2.5分，满分 37.5 分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、和 D)中，选出最佳选项、并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Different cultures have their unique celebrations of the calendar New Year's traditions. Now let's learn some of famous New Year's traditions around the world. The Netherlands Amsterdam hosts one of the world's largest street parties on New Year's Eve. If you attend, buy some oliebollen to eat at mid-night. It is usually believed that eating these deep fried oily balls wI'll drive away evil spirits in the New Year. Dam Square (the craziest), Nieuwmarkt, and Leidseplein host unofficial street parties with music, fireworks and beer tents. Amsterdam's celebration is not for the casual partier: Some attendants have compared it to a war zone! Scotland Celebrating Hogmanay, which stands for the last day of the year, is a big deal in Scotland. It is so grand that it often overshadows Christmas. Christmas was outlawed by the Church of Scotland for nearly four centuries, and it didn't make a comeback until 1958. Though the holiday has regained its popularity, the New Year Festival of Hogmanay still holds a sacred place in Scottish hearts. Australia Sydney Harbor hosts one of the biggest New Year's Eve celebrations in the world. It's mid-summer in the southern part of globe, and thousands of people gather around the Opera House in advance. An air-plane show and a water display open the celebration at 6:00 pm. A family-friendly fireworks show starts at 9:00 pm, while the main attraction-the Harbor Light Parade is at midnight. The United States Each year, hundreds of thousands of people flock lo New York City to see the Big Apple drop at midnight. This New Year's Eve tradition actually began as a replacement for fireworks, which had been forbidden in New York. In addition to watching balls drop, in other US cities you can watch peaches, giant walleye, and other locally relevant symbols lowered as the clock strikes midnight. 21. What is eating oliebollen mainly related to? A. History B. Custom C. Literature D. Location 22. Travelers who like to see the show on the water may go to________. A. Australia B. Scotland C. The Netherland D. The United States 23. The passage may be taken from________? A. a geographic book B. a travelling research C. an advertisement D. a tourist brochure 【答案】21. B 22. A 23. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了荷兰、苏格兰、澳大利亚、美国等国家庆祝新年的活动。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。第二段第二句提到“If you attend, buy some oliebollen to eat at mid-night. It is usually believed that eating these deep fried oily balls will drive away evil spirits in the New Year. ”（如果你参加了，在午夜时买一些荷兰油糖饼吃。人们通常认为，吃这些油炸的糖饼可以在新的一年里驱除邪灵。）由此判断，荷兰人把吃油糖饼作为新年里驱除邪灵的仪式，这是一种新年时的风俗。A. History历史；B. Custom风俗； C. Literature文学；D. Location位置，地点。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。在“澳大利亚”部分的第三句提到“An air-plane show and a water display open the celebration at 6:00 pm.”（下午6点，飞机表演和水上表演拉开了新年庆典活动的序幕。）由此判断，游客想要观看水上表演的可以去澳大利亚。故选A。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。文章第一段提到“Different cultures have their unique celebrations of the calendar New Year's traditions. Now let's learn some of famous New Year's traditions around the world.”（不同的文化有其独特的庆祝新年的传统。现在让我们来了解一些世界各地著名的新年传统。）在接下来的几段中，分别介绍了荷兰、苏格兰、澳大利亚、美国各国庆祝新年的传统。告知游客可以参与及欣赏的新年庆祝活动。由此判断，文章出自于旅游手册。A. a geographic book地理书；B. a travelling research旅游调查；C. an advertisement广告宣传；D. a tourist brochure旅游手册。故选D。 B Before going abroad, I was very concerned about culture shock, but it turned out that I had a harder time dealing with reverse (逆向的) culture shock when returning home. Coming back has been a tougher transition than expected. It’s not just about transitioning back to home life; it’s also about handling the strange situation of being a different person in the same old environment. I am most terrified of waking up in a few months and feeling like I’m the same person I was before I studied abroad. This situation is especially strange with people who have known me for a long time, like my parents, who witnessed all my major life changes before this one. I didn’t realize how much I’d changed until I interacted with them and close friends. Despite only being away for three and a half months, I quickly noticed the differences between who I was before and who I am now. Over the past few weeks at home, I’ve been wondering how to maintain the positive changes and qualities gained from my semester abroad. I’ve realized that surroundings and situations greatly influence mindset, and keeping a certain mindset while losing its corresponding (相对应的) environment is challenging. For instance, being in Madrid taught me to be more relaxed and stress-free. However, returning to Penn State with its demanding course load makes maintaining that mentality (心态) difficult. I’ve come to realize the problem that perpetual stress about school isn’t healthy, especially after experiencing a semester of travel, fun, and academic success. Therefore, I’ve decided to work hard and study as usual but occasionally give myself a break, and do what I can to avoid getting over-stressed about tests and assignments. This means I will put in effort when necessary in order to make sure I am always caught up or ahead of class material. Coming home has been more challenging than expected, but I’m confident I’ll get through it in the next few weeks. Nevertheless, I’m determined to maintain the important lessons I learned about myself and others in Madrid. 24. What was the author’s biggest concern when returning home? A. Going back to his original self. B. Adapting to new surroundings. C. Experiencing culture shock. D. Missing old acquaintances. 25. What did the author realize after returning home? A. He should make his family familiar with his positive changes. B. He should change his mentality to care less about his study. C. He should adapt his mindset to fit into the old learning environment. D. He should apply himself to his study to stay ahead of class. 26. What does the underlined word “perpetual” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Current. B. Improper. C. Unnecessary. D. Continuous. 27. What is the passage mainly about? A. The sufferings of reverse culture shock. B. The reflections on personal growth. C. The adaptations to new environments. D. The success in academic performance. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者最初担心出国时的文化冲击，但发现回国后的适应其实更困难。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Before going abroad, I was very concerned about culture shock, but it turned out that I had a harder time dealing with reverse (逆向的) culture shock when returning home. Coming back has been a tougher transition than expected. It’s not just about transitioning back to home life; it’s also about handling the strange situation of being a different person in the same old environment. I am most terrified of waking up in a few months and feeling like I’m the same person I was before I studied abroad.”（在出国之前，我非常担心文化冲击，但事实证明，当我回国时，我很难应对逆向文化冲击。回归后的过渡期比预期的要艰难。这不仅仅是回到家庭生活；这也是关于在相同的旧环境中处理不同的人的奇怪情况。我最害怕的是几个月后醒来，感觉自己还是出国留学前的那个我）可知，作者回国后最担心的是回到原来的自己。故选A项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Over the past few weeks at home, I’ve been wondering how to maintain the positive changes and qualities gained from my semester abroad.”（在过去的几周里，我一直在思考如何保持我在国外学期所获得的积极变化和品质）以及第三段中“I’ve realized that surroundings and situations greatly influence mindset, and keeping a certain mindset while losing its corresponding(相对应的)environment is challenging.”（我意识到环境和情形对心态有很大的影响，在失去相应环境的同时保持某种心态是很有挑战性的）可知，作者回国后意识到他应该调整自己的心态，以适应原来的学习环境。故选C项。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词句中“…especially after experiencing a semester of travel, fun, and academic success.”（尤其是在经历了一个学期的旅行、娱乐和学业成功之后）以及第三段中“Therefore, I’ve decided to work hard and study as usual but occasionally give myself a break, and do what I can to avoid getting over-stressed about tests and assignments. This means I will put in effort when necessary in order to make sure I am always caught up or ahead of class material.”（因此，我决定像往常一样努力学习，偶尔让自己休息一下，尽我所能避免考试和作业带来的过度压力。这意味着我会在必要的时候付出努力，以确保我总是赶上或领先于课堂材料）可知，此处为我开始意识到学校的持续的压力并不健康。故可猜测划线单词perpetual为“持续的”意思，与D项Continuous“持续不断的”意思一致。故选D项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容以及第一段“Before going abroad, I was very concerned about culture shock, but it turned out that I had a harder time dealing with reverse (逆向的) culture shock when returning home. Coming back has been a tougher transition than expected. It’s not just about transitioning back to home life; it’s also about handling the strange situation of being a different person in the same old environment. I am most terrified of waking up in a few months and feeling like I’m the same person I was before I studied abroad.”（在出国之前，我非常担心文化冲击，但事实证明，当我回国时，我很难应对逆向文化冲击。回归后的过渡期比预期的要艰难。这不仅仅是回到家庭生活；这也是关于在相同的旧环境中处理不同的人的奇怪情况。我最害怕的是几个月后醒来，感觉自己还是出国留学前的那个我）和最后一段“Coming home has been more challenging than expected, but I’m confident I’ll get through it in the next few weeks. ”（回家的过程比想象中更有挑战性，但我有信心在接下来的几周内度过难关）可知，文章主要讲的作者最初担心出国时的文化冲击，但发现回国后的适应其实更困难。由此可知，文章主要讲述了逆向文化冲击带来的痛苦。故选A项。 C Since the AI chatbot ChatGPT was released in 2020 we’ve been hearing about the threat posed by artificial intelligence. A statement signed by academic experts and tech industry figures even branded AI an “extinction risk.” In education, there have been concerns that ChatGPT could negatively affect the learning process of students. For example, students could ask ChatGPT to write their coursework for them, skipping the research and writing effort that leads to a better understanding of the topic in question. Perhaps a better approach would be to change and enhance how we teach and assess the outcomes of learning. Making education more focused on practical skills and the use of knowledge in problem solving could ensure a deeper understanding on the part of students. AI could be used for guidance, in much the same way we currently use calculators, to help enrich people’s knowledge. However, risks do exist. In May 2023, for example, a US lawyer admitted using ChatGPT for case research. The lawyer’s filing was found to reference legal cases that didn’t exist. The chatbot had made them up. It’s not the first time that these “AI hallucinations” have been reported. Then we have the very real risk that AI could be used for illegal purposes such as identity theft. For example, criminals could use AI to clone someone’s voice. They could then phone family members and try to convince them to give out sensitive information that could be helpful for accessing bank accounts. A variant of AI-driven identity theft is the use of deepfake videos. However, Bill Gates, the Microsoft co-founder, sounds less worried than some other executives in Silicon Valley about the risks of artificial intelligence. In a blog post on Tuesday, he wrote, “This is not the first time a major innovation has introduced new threats that had to be controlled. We’ve done it before.” 28. What is a consequence of students’ using ChatGPT? A. Reduced learning time. B. Improved academic performance. C. A lack of learning process. D. Health issues. 29. What might be an example of AI hallucinations? A. Reproducing real events. B. Recommending irrelevant information. C. Providing incorrect recommendations. D. Generating non-existent legal cases. 30. What’s paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Identity theft through AI techniques. B. Cloning someone’s voice using AI. C. The potential dangers of AI for illegal purposes. D. Deepfake videos as a form of AI-driven identity theft. 31. What attitude does Bill Gates have to the side effects of AI? A. He doesn’t care about them. B. He thinks them controllable. C. He takes them very seriously. D. He doubts their occurrence. 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。我们一直听说人工智能带来的威胁，一份由学术专家和科技行业人士签署的声明甚至将人工智能列为“灭绝风险”。本文主要讲述了ChatGPT产生的负面影响。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“In education, there have been concerns that ChatGPT could negatively affect the learning process of students. For example, students could ask ChatGPT to write their coursework for them, skipping the research and writing effort that leads to a better understanding of the topic in question. (在教育领域，有人担心ChatGPT会对学生的学习过程产生负面影响。例如，学生可以要求ChatGPT为他们撰写课程作业，跳过研究和写作工作，从而更好地理解所讨论的主题。)”可知，学生使用ChatGPT的一个后果是缺乏学习过程。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“However, risks do exist. In May 2023, for example, a US lawyer admitted using ChatGPT for case research. The lawyer’s filing was found to reference legal cases that didn’t exist. The chatbot had made them up. (然而，风险确实存在。例如，在2023年5月，一位美国律师承认使用ChatGPT进行案例研究。该律师的文件被发现引用了一些不存在的法律案例。是聊天机器人编出来的。)”可知，“AI hallucinations”的其中一个例子就是其产生了不存在的法律案件。故选D。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段的中心句“Then we have the very real risk that AI could be used for illegal purposes such as identity theft. (那么我们就面临着人工智能可能被用于非法目的的风险，比如身份盗窃。)”可知，第五段主要讲解的是人工智能用于非法目的的潜在危险。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However, Bill Gates, the Microsoft co-founder, sounds less worried than some other executives in Silicon Valley about the risks of artificial intelligence. In a blog post on Tuesday, he wrote, “This is not the first time a major innovation has introduced new threats that had to be controlled. We’ve done it before.” (然而，与硅谷的其他一些高管相比，微软(Microsoft)联合创始人比尔•盖茨(Bill Gates)似乎不那么担心人工智能的风险。他在周二的一篇博客文章中写道，“重大创新带来了必须加以控制的新威胁，这已经不是第一次了。我们以前做过。”)”可知，他认为重大创新带来了必须加以控制的新威胁，即它们是可控的。故选B。 D Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers advise “Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience.” How right they were! “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” Wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste (粘合剂) that helps you hang on there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, “I can do it!” When others shout, “No, you can’t!” It took years and years for the early work of Barbara Mclintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn’t stop working on her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping. We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach. As the music flowed through his fingers, his stooped (驼背的) shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. As author and poet Samuel Ulman once wrote, “Years wrinkle (起皱纹) the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.” Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power. Patricia Mellratl, a retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, “My father, long ago, told me, I never made a fortune until I stopped working for money.” If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a hobby. Elizabeth Layton Wellsville, Kan, was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended periods of depression that troubled her for at least 30 years and the quality of her work led one critic to say, “I am tempted into a genius.” We can’t afford to waste tears on “might-have-been”. We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “what-can-be”. We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our senses — finding pleasure in the sweet smell of a back-yard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, the beauty of a rainbow. 32. The author holds the view that _______. A. enthusiasm is more important than experience B. enthusiasm can give people more success and fame C. enthusiastic people will never get old D. enthusiasm can make you succeed and enjoy life 33. The author mentions cellist Pablo Casals in the third paragraph to show that _______. A. enthusiasm can make people feel young B. music can arouse people’s enthusiasm C. enthusiasm can give people inspiration needed to succeed D. enthusiasm can keep people healthy 34. According to the passage, what can we learn about Elizabeth Layton Wellsville? A. She started drawing at the age of 38. B. Drawing helped her get rid of depression. C. Her drawings were not well-received. D. She made a living by drawing. 35. Which proverb may the writer agree with according to the last paragraph? A. Good beginning makes a good ending. B. Don’t cry over the spoiled milk. C. Love me, love my dog. D. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。主要说明了作者认为热情对人生至关重要，它能让人在困境中坚持、保持年轻心态、热爱工作，即便作为爱好也能带来积极改变，我们应全心拥抱生活。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers advise “Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience.” How right they were! (多年前，当我开始寻找自己的第一份工作时，明智的前辈们给我这样的建议：“芭芭拉，要充满热情！热情会让你比拥有再多的工作经验都更成功。”他们说得太对了！)”可知，作者认为，热情能够助你取得成功并享受生活。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach. As the music flowed through his fingers, his stooped (驼背的) shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. As author and poet Samuel Ulman once wrote, “Years wrinkle (起皱纹) the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.” (我们生来都带着一双充满好奇、满怀热情的眼睛，正是这种孩童般的纯真使热情洋溢的人无论年岁大小都显得充满朝气。90岁时，大提琴家巴勃罗·卡萨尔斯每天都会以演奏巴赫的作品开始一天的活动。当音乐从他的手指间流淌而出时，他那弯曲的肩膀会挺直起来，喜悦又会重新浮现在他的眼中。正如作家兼诗人塞缪尔·乌尔曼曾经写道：“岁月会刻下皱纹，但放弃热情则会在灵魂上留下皱纹。”)”可知，作者在第三段中提到了大提琴家巴勃罗·卡萨尔斯，以此来表明热情能够让人感觉年轻。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Elizabeth Layton Wellsville, Kan, was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended periods of depression that troubled her for at least 30 years and the quality of her work led one critic to say, “I am tempted into a genius.” (艾丽西丝·莱顿·韦尔斯维尔斯来自堪萨斯州，直到 68 岁才开始画画。这项活动帮助她摆脱了至少 30 年来困扰她的抑郁情绪，她的作品质量也令一位评论家赞叹道：“我简直被认定为天才了。”)”可知，绘画帮助伊丽莎白·莱顿·韦尔斯韦尔摆脱了抑郁。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We can’t afford to waste tears on “might-have-been”. We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “what-can-be”. We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our senses — finding pleasure in the sweet smell of a back-yard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, the beauty of a rainbow. (我们不能把眼泪浪费在“本应如此”的幻想上。我们需要将泪水转化为汗水，去追求“能够实现的未来”。我们需要全身心地活在每一个当下，用所有的感官去感受——在后院花园里那淡淡的花香中找到快乐，在一个六岁孩子的纯真笑容中找到快乐，在彩虹的美丽中找到快乐。)”可知，作者会认同“覆水难收”的道理。故选B。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Music can be a great mental rest, allowing you to relax and get lost in your favorite songs. ____36____ Here are some ways music can make you a better person and positively impact your everyday life.

Music is a creativity booster. When you turn up the songs that make you joyful, your brain gets more creative.(提升你的创造力。音乐是创造力的助推器。当你打开让你快乐的歌曲时，你的大脑会变得更有创造力)”可知，此处是在讲述音乐有助于提升创造力，所以F项“It helps ease the pressure off your mind and puts it in a creation-ready mode.(它有助于减轻你的压力，让你的头脑进入一种准备创造的模式)”是在介绍音乐如何提升创造力，符合本段主题。故选F项。 【38题详解】 根据前文“Build cooperation and connection with people. Playing a musical instrument helps you connect with people with similar interests.(与人建立合作和联系。演奏乐器可以帮助你与志同道合的人建立联系)”可知，本段讲述了音乐有助于与人建立合作和联系，所以D项“It enables you to make new friends who share your music passion.(它可以让你结交新朋友分享你的音乐激情)”符合本段主题。故选D项。 【39题详解】 分析设空，位于段首，是本段的中心句，根据后文“Music has a magic al power to promote emotions. Listening to joyful music lifts your happiness levels, which can make you more generous. It’s like a happy circle where feeling good makes you want to give back, and giving back makes you feel even better.(音乐具有促进情感的神奇力量。听欢快的音乐可以提升你的幸福感，让你更慷慨。这就像一个快乐的循环，感觉良好会让你想要回报，而回报会让你感觉更好)”可知，本段主要讲述了，音乐会提升你的幸福感，让你更慷慨，所以B项“Make you happier and more generous.(让你更快乐，更慷慨)”是本段中心句。故选B项。 【40题详解】 根据前文“Improve physical health and performance.(改善身体健康和表现)”以及后文“Music improves our energy and endurance, and makes exercise more fun. And if you have your headphones on during works, you’re more likely to stick with your fitness routines.(音乐可以提高我们的能量和耐力，让锻炼变得更有趣。如果你在工作时戴着耳机，你更有可能坚持你的健身计划)”可知，本段讲述了音乐对体育健身方面的帮助，所以E项“There’s a reason you play music in the background when you hit the gym.(当你去健身房的时候播放背景音乐是有原因的)”符合本段主题，引出下文。故选E项。 第三部分英语知识运用 (共两节，满分 30 分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15 分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和 D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I was raised in Birmingham.

In the late 18th century, in order to make more money, the capitalists demanded their employees to work all day, but only ____58____ (pay) them low salaries.

The workers had to fight for rights for ____61____ (them). On May 1st, 1884, the United States’ and Canada’s labour unions got together to start ____62____ biggest strike.

International Workers’ Day aims ____64____ (memorize) the spirit of bravery and show our respect for the former workers, because they made a great ____65____ (contribute) to today’s happiness. 【答案】56. celebrating 57. behind 58. paid 59. reasonable 60. However 61. themselves 62. the 63. which 64. to memorize 65. contribution 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了五一国际劳动节的来历。 【56题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意:自从1890年开始，世界上有八十多个国家庆祝这个节日。分析句子结构可知，celebrate非谓语动词，它和被修饰词countries之间构成主谓关系，故用现在分词作后置定语。故填celebrating。 【57题详解】 考查介词。句意:人们可能知道劳动节这一天要休息,但是很少有人知道劳动节是如何来的以及它背后的故事。分析句子结构可知，空格处应该填入介词，再结合语义的需要可知，此处表示“在……后面”。故填behind。 【58题详解】 考查时态。句意:18世纪末，为了赚更多钱，资本家们要求他们雇员整天工作，但是只支付他们很低的工资。由but可知，空处和demanded为并列的谓语动词，故时态应保持一致，使用一般过去时。故填paid。 【59题详解】 考查形容词。句意:然后工人们开始罢工,要求合理的工作时间应该是每天8小时。空格处修饰名词短语“working hours”作定语,应使用形容词。结合句意，故填reasonable。 【60题详解】 考查副词。句意:然而，资本家忽视了工人的要求。根据空格前后的句子的句意可知，它们存在转折关系，并且空后有逗号，因此使用however。故填However。 【61题详解】 考查反身代词。句意:工人们不得不为他们自己争取权利。介词for后的宾语与主语所指相同，因此使用反身代词。故填themselves。 【62题详解】 考查定冠词。句意: 1884 年 5 月 1 日，美国和加拿大的工会联合起来，开始了最大的罢工。根据句意的需要和biggest可知，这里使用了big的最高级形式，其前应该使用定冠词。故填the。 【63题详解】 考查定语从句。句意:那天之后，法律通过了，明文规定工人每天工作8小时。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为law，指物，从句缺少主语，应用关系代词which。故填which。 【64题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意:国际劳动节是为了记住以前的工人们的勇敢精神并向他们表达我们的敬意，因为他们为今天的幸福做出了伟大的贡献。固定用法aim to do ：旨在做某事。故填to memorize。 【65题详解】 考查名词。句意: 国际劳动节是为了记住以前的工人们的勇敢精神并向他们表达我们的敬意，因为他们为今天的幸福做出了伟大的贡献。由冠词a可知,这里用名词的单数形式。make a great contribution to：为……做出巨大贡献。故填contribution。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分 40 分) 第一节.应用文写作 (满分15分) 66. 假定你是某校高一学生李华，学校近期要举行演讲比赛，请你以音乐为主题写一篇演讲稿。写作要点如下： 1.音乐的重要性； 2.你所知道的音乐类型； 3.你最喜欢哪一类音乐？说明你喜欢的理由。 注意：1. 词数80左右； 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear friends, My topic today is music.

Our preferred park is a 2km walk from my house and it has a 1km walking track. I could not drive him there every day as I had to leave for the office while at the same time he wanted to set out. Since there were hardly any footpaths in Karachi, my father said he was delighted to walk on the road as he was certain there wouldn’t be much traffic in the morning. Though I kept him informed that our house was near the park and was made of red bricks in case he got lost, I was still less confident so I suggested it would be safer if changed his walk time to the evening. That way I could take him to the park after work. However, my father — a determined person — said that he could not change his routine for just a few days and insisted that he would be leaving the house every day at 7 am and returning by 8 am. So one day when he had not returned by 8:30 am, my wife, Qaisa phoned me in a panic Worried, I immediately drove home, taking the same route that my father would have taken for his walk. Not spotting him anywhere, I drove back to the park, in the hone of discovering some trace, but in vain.

My father explained that he had gotten lost during his walk and ended up quite far from home. The young man, who had found my father wandering and looking confused, kindly offered to help. After listening to my father describe where he lived, the good fellow decided it was best to personally ensure his safe return rather than risk miscommunication over the phone or with directions. After knowing what had happened, I showed my appreciation of the young man’s kindness. I thanked him genuinely, touched by his generosity and concern for an elderly stranger. We invited him in for tea, but he politely declined, stating that he was glad to have been able to assist and that he needed to get back to his own schedule. His selfless act reminded us of the goodness in people and reinforced the importance of community spirit. We saw the young man off, and I made sure to discuss with my father about carrying an emergency contact card during his future outings. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者八十岁的父亲每天早晨都要去附近的公园散步一个小时，虽然作者建议他晚上去，因为晚上作者可以陪伴他，但是老人坚持早晨去。一天老人没有按时回家，作者马上出去找，但是寻找未果。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“上午十点35，门铃响了。父亲笑着站在门外，一个年轻人陪着他。”可知，第一段可描写父亲在公园迷路，遇到善良的年轻人，年轻人陪着老人回家。 ②由第二段首句内容“知道了发生的事以后，我表达了对于年轻人的善良的感激。”可知，第二段可描写作者怎样感谢年轻人，以及年轻人的表达。 2.续写线索：老人年纪大非早起散步——子女没办法陪伴，建议老人改时间——固执，独自去散步后迷路——老人出现在门口——年轻人陪着老人回家——老人讲述原因——感谢年轻人的帮助——做好安全措施 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①迷路：get lost/lose one’s way ②确保：ensure/make sure of ③拒绝：decline/refuse/reject 情绪类 ①感谢：thank him genuinely/show our gratitude/showing our appreciation ②高兴的：glad/delighted/joyful 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Now let's learn some of famous New Year's traditions around the world. The Netherlands Amsterdam hosts one of the world's largest street parties on New Year's Eve. If you attend, buy some oliebollen to eat at mid-night. It is usually believed that eating these deep fried oily balls wI'll drive away evil spirits in the New Year. Dam Square (the craziest), Nieuwmarkt, and Leidseplein host unofficial street parties with music, fireworks and beer tents. Amsterdam's celebration is not for the casual partier: Some attendants have compared it to a war zone! Scotland Celebrating Hogmanay, which stands for the last day of the year, is a big deal in Scotland. It is so grand that it often overshadows Christmas. Christmas was outlawed by the Church of Scotland for nearly four centuries, and it didn't make a comeback until 1958. Though the holiday has regained its popularity, the New Year Festival of Hogmanay still holds a sacred place in Scottish hearts. Australia Sydney Harbor hosts one of the biggest New Year's Eve celebrations in the world. It's mid-summer in the southern part of globe, and thousands of people gather around the Opera House in advance. An air-plane show and a water display open the celebration at 6:00 pm. A family-friendly fireworks show starts at 9:00 pm, while the main attraction-the Harbor Light Parade is at midnight. The United States Each year, hundreds of thousands of people flock lo New York City to see the Big Apple drop at midnight. This New Year's Eve tradition actually began as a replacement for fireworks, which had been forbidden in New York. In addition to watching balls drop, in other US cities you can watch peaches, giant walleye, and other locally relevant symbols lowered as the clock strikes midnight. 21. What is eating oliebollen mainly related to? A. History B. Custom C. Literature D. Location 22. Travelers who like to see the show on the water may go to________. A. Australia B. Scotland C. The Netherland D. The United States 23. The passage may be taken from________? A. a geographic book B. a travelling research C. an advertisement D. a tourist brochure B Before going abroad, I was very concerned about culture shock, but it turned out that I had a harder time dealing with reverse (逆向的) culture shock when returning home. Coming back has been a tougher transition than expected. It’s not just about transitioning back to home life; it’s also about handling the strange situation of being a different person in the same old environment. I am most terrified of waking up in a few months and feeling like I’m the same person I was before I studied abroad. This situation is especially strange with people who have known me for a long time, like my parents, who witnessed all my major life changes before this one. I didn’t realize how much I’d changed until I interacted with them and close friends. Despite only being away for three and a half months, I quickly noticed the differences between who I was before and who I am now. Over the past few weeks at home, I’ve been wondering how to maintain the positive changes and qualities gained from my semester abroad. I’ve realized that surroundings and situations greatly influence mindset, and keeping a certain mindset while losing its corresponding (相对应的) environment is challenging. For instance, being in Madrid taught me to be more relaxed and stress-free. However, returning to Penn State with its demanding course load makes maintaining that mentality (心态) difficult. I’ve come to realize the problem that perpetual stress about school isn’t healthy, especially after experiencing a semester of travel, fun, and academic success. Therefore, I’ve decided to work hard and study as usual but occasionally give myself a break, and do what I can to avoid getting over-stressed about tests and assignments. This means I will put in effort when necessary in order to make sure I am always caught up or ahead of class material. Coming home has been more challenging than expected, but I’m confident I’ll get through it in the next few weeks. Nevertheless, I’m determined to maintain the important lessons I learned about myself and others in Madrid. 24. What was the author’s biggest concern when returning home? A. Going back to his original self. B. Adapting to new surroundings. C. Experiencing culture shock. D. Missing old acquaintances. 25. What did the author realize after returning home? A. He should make his family familiar with his positive changes. B. He should change his mentality to care less about his study. C. He should adapt his mindset to fit into the old learning environment. D. He should apply himself to his study to stay ahead of class. 26. What does the underlined word “perpetual” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Current. B. Improper. C. Unnecessary. D. Continuous. 27. What is the passage mainly about? A. The sufferings of reverse culture shock. B. The reflections on personal growth. C. The adaptations to new environments. D. The success in academic performance. C Since the AI chatbot ChatGPT was released in 2020, we’ve been hearing about the threat posed by artificial intelligence. A statement signed by academic experts and tech industry figures even branded AI an “extinction risk.” In education, there have been concerns that ChatGPT could negatively affect the learning process of students. For example, students could ask ChatGPT to write their coursework for them, skipping the research and writing effort that leads to a better understanding of the topic in question. Perhaps a better approach would be to change and enhance how we teach and assess the outcomes of learning. Making education more focused on practical skills and the use of knowledge in problem solving could ensure a deeper understanding on the part of students. AI could be used for guidance, in much the same way we currently use calculators, to help enrich people’s knowledge. However, risks do exist. In May 2023, for example, a US lawyer admitted using ChatGPT for case research. The lawyer’s filing was found to reference legal cases that didn’t exist. The chatbot had made them up. It’s not the first time that these “AI hallucinations” have been reported. Then we have the very real risk that AI could be used for illegal purposes such as identity theft. For example, criminals could use AI to clone someone’s voice. They could then phone family members and try to convince them to give out sensitive information that could be helpful for accessing bank accounts. A variant of AI-driven identity theft is the use of deepfake videos. However, Bill Gates, the Microsoft co-founder, sounds less worried than some other executives in Silicon Valley about the risks of artificial intelligence. In a blog post on Tuesday, he wrote, “This is not the first time a major innovation has introduced new threats that had to be controlled. We’ve done it before.” 28. What is a consequence of students’ using ChatGPT? A. Reduced learning time. B. Improved academic performance. C. A lack of learning process. D. Health issues. 29. What might be an example of AI hallucinations? A. Reproducing real events. B. Recommending irrelevant information. C. Providing incorrect recommendations. D. Generating non-existent legal cases. 30. What’s paragraph 5 mainly about? A. Identity theft through AI techniques. B. Cloning someone’s voice using AI. C. The potential dangers of AI for illegal purposes. D. Deepfake videos as a form of AI-driven identity theft. 31. What attitude does Bill Gates have to the side effects of AI? A. He doesn’t care about them. B. He thinks them controllable. C. He takes them very seriously. D. He doubts their occurrence. D Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers advise “Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience.” How right they were! “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” Wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste (粘合剂) that helps you hang on there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, “I can do it!” When others shout, “No, you can’t!” It took years and years for the early work of Barbara Mclintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn’t stop working on her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping. We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach. As the music flowed through his fingers, his stooped (驼背的) shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. As author and poet Samuel Ulman once wrote, “Years wrinkle (起皱纹) the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.” Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power. Patricia Mellratl, a retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, “My father, long ago, told me, I never made a fortune until I stopped working for money.” If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a hobby. Elizabeth Layton Wellsville, Kan, was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended periods of depression that troubled her for at least 30 years and the quality of her work led one critic to say, “I am tempted into a genius.” We can’t afford to waste tears on “might-have-been”. We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “what-can-be”. We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our senses — finding pleasure in the sweet smell of a back-yard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, the beauty of a rainbow. 32. The author holds the view that _______. A. enthusiasm is more important than experience B. enthusiasm can give people more success and fame C. enthusiastic people will never get old D. enthusiasm can make you succeed and enjoy life 33. The author mentions cellist Pablo Casals in the third paragraph to show that _______. A. enthusiasm can make people feel young B. music can arouse people’s enthusiasm C. enthusiasm can give people inspiration needed to succeed D. enthusiasm can keep people healthy 34. According to the passage, what can we learn about Elizabeth Layton Wellsville? A. She started drawing at the age of 38. B. Drawing helped her get rid of depression. C Her drawings were not well-received. D. She made a living by drawing. 35. Which proverb may the writer agree with according to the last paragraph? A. Good beginning makes a good ending. B. Don’t cry over the spoiled milk. C. Love me, love my dog. D. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Music can be a great mental rest, allowing you to relax and get lost in your favorite songs. ____36____ Here are some ways music can make you a better person and positively impact your everyday life.

Our preferred park is a 2km walk from my house and it has a 1km walking track. I could not drive him there every day as I had to leave for the office while at the same time he wanted to set out. Since there were hardly any footpaths in Karachi, my father said he was delighted to walk on the road as he was certain there wouldn’t be much traffic in the morning. Though I kept him informed that our house was near the park and was made of red bricks in case he got lost, I was still less confident so I suggested it would be safer if changed his walk time to the evening. That way I could take him to the park after work. However, my father — a determined person — said that he could not change his routine for just a few days and insisted that he would be leaving the house every day at 7 am and returning by 8 am. So one day when he had not returned by 8:30 am, my wife, Qaisa phoned me in a panic Worried, I immediately drove home, taking the same route that my father would have taken for his walk. Not spotting him anywhere, I drove back to the park, in the hone of discovering some trace, but in vain. Totally at a loss for what to do next, I returned home and waited impatiently, walking back and forth in the house. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At 10:35 am the doorbell rang and my father stood outside the door smiling accompanied by a young man. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After knowing what had happened, I showed my appreciation of the young man’ s kindness. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$莆田市2023至2024学年下学期期末质量监测高一英语听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到答题卡上。现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club, can I help you?
