Plus, all levels of hikers can use it, especially for finding new peaks to hike. Added bonus: The app has some practical functions, which allow you to take some breathtaking shots and then automatically (自动地) label each peak with its correct name. You can buy the app for $5 on its official website. 3. N-Land N-Land Digital is a Canadian nonprofit that helps expert hikers to learn more about their local history and the Indigenous territories (土著领地). By entering your address, a number of links will appear with the names of different Indigenous nations. Clicking on those links, you will be taken to a page specifically about that nation, language, or treaty, where you can view some sources, give feedback, and learn a little more.

In the 1980s, he settled in Perhentian as a diving instructor and fell in love with corals. Twice daily, he went out to sea, staying underwater for as long as his oxygen supply allowed. He learned the shapes and textures (纹理) of coral reefs long before he knew their Latin names. He studied the living conditions—the water temperature, the sunshine, the diversity(多样性) of ocean life—and saw how just one of those factors could bring about large-scale death. Abdullah spent two decades experimenting with how to grow coral reefs in the ocean. He didn’t have a degree in marine (海洋的) biology or a research lab, but he had his own ways. Almost all the materials he used to grow corals came directly from the ocean. He didn’t use steel pipes or bricks—which he couldn’t afford—instead, he gathered rocks from the seafloor, piling them so they wouldn’t be knocked down by tidal waves. While others might depend on a lab to break live coral into pieces that were in turn used for growing, he searched for broken pieces of coral in existing reefs and fixed them to the rocks using animal-friendly glue. When he needed other materials, he started by searching the beach for waste. Every day, the locals saw him on his knees examining corals in the ocean. Sometimes, he picked up a rock to which he had fixed a piece of coral several weeks earlier, and said very quietly, “My little acropora (鹿角大珊瑚), how are you doing today?” The locals whispered about how he’d spent days in the water speaking to corals as if they were people. “Everyone thought I was stupid,” said Abdullah, “But I knew I was doing the most important thing in the world.” Actually, Abdullah was right. Now, in a world rapidly losing its coral reefs to climate change and environmental damage, he has become an increasingly influential expert on how to bring them back to life. Thousands have traveled from around the world to learn from Abdullah how to grow corals, with some eventually leaving their jobs to join his projects full time. With his 700 active volunteers, he has already saved about 125 acres of coral reefs. 20. Abdullah went out to sea twice daily to ________. A. study coral reefs B. have diving training C. check his oxygen supply D. share his feelings for the sea 21. Abdullah’s way of growing corals is________. A. eco-friendly and practical B. traditional and indirect C. high-tech and affordable D. scientific and expensive 22. From the passage we know that Abdullah________. A. searched for waste to make a living B. received a degree in marine biology C. talked to everyone about coral reefs D. became an expert on coral protection 23. What can we learn from the story? A. Anyone with a dream is amazing. B. Achievement provides true pleasure. C. An individual can make a difference. D. The strong man is strongest when alone. 【答案】20. A 21. A 22. D 23. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了Anuar Abdullah致力于研究和保护珊瑚礁工作，他创造出了环保又实用的种植珊瑚的方法，同时影响更多的人参与到保护珊瑚礁的工作中。 【20题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Twice daily, he went out to sea, staying underwater for as long as his oxygen supply allowed. He learned the shapes and textures (纹理) of coral reefs long before he knew their Latin names.(他每天两次出海，只要氧气供应允许，他就呆在水下。早在他知道珊瑚礁的拉丁名字之前，他就了解了珊瑚礁的形状和结构)”可知，阿卜杜拉每天两次出海研究珊瑚礁。故选A。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Almost all the materials he used to grow corals came directly from the ocean. He didn’t use steel pipes or bricks—which he couldn’t afford—instead, he gathered rocks from the seafloor, piling them so they wouldn’t be knocked down by tidal waves.(他用来种植珊瑚的几乎所有材料都直接来自海洋。他没有使用钢管或砖块——因为他负担不起——相反，他从海底收集岩石，把它们堆起来，这样它们就不会被潮汐击倒)”可知，阿卜杜拉种植珊瑚的方法既环保又实用。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Now, in a world rapidly losing its coral reefs to climate change and environmental damage, he has become an increasingly influential expert on how to bring them back to life.(如今，由于气候变化和环境破坏，世界上的珊瑚礁正在迅速消失，在如何让珊瑚礁起死回生方面，他已经成为一名越来越有影响力的专家)”可知，阿卜杜拉成为了珊瑚保护方面的专家。故选D。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Thousands have traveled from around the world to learn from Abdullah how to grow corals, with some eventually leaving their jobs to join his projects full time. With his 700 active volunteers, he has already saved about 125 acres of coral reefs.(成千上万的人从世界各地来到这里，向阿卜杜拉学习如何种植珊瑚，其中一些人最终辞去了工作，全职加入他的项目。与他的700名志愿者一起，他已经拯救了大约125英亩的珊瑚礁)”结合文章主要说明了Anuar Abdullah致力于研究和保护珊瑚礁工作，他创造出了环保又实用的种植珊瑚的方法，同时影响更多的人参与到保护珊瑚礁的工作中。可知，故事告诉我们个人可以有所作为。故选C。 C When you hear “I have a dream…”, one of the most famous speeches in human history, you’ll never have the idea how the audience on the scene were fueled by emotional intelligence. When Martin Luther King. Jr. presented his dream, he chose language that would stir the hearts of his audience. Delivering this electrifying message required emotional intelligence — the ability to recognize, understand, and manage emotions. Emotional intelligence has been highly recommended by leaders, policymakers, and educators as the solution to a wide range of social problems. Emotional intelligence is important, but the uncontrolled enthusiasm has obscured (掩盖) a dark side. New evidence shows that when people sharpen their emotional skills, they become better at controlling others. When you’re good at controlling your own emotions, you can hide your true feelings. When you know what others are feeling, you can motivate them to act against their own best interests. Social scientists have begun to document this dark side of emotional intelligence. In a research conducted by Professor Jochen Menges from University of Toronto, when a leader gave an inspiring speech filled with emotion, the audience was less likely to examine the message closely and remember the content. Ironically (讽刺的是), audience members were so moved by the speech that they claimed to recall more of it. The authors call this the awestruck (敬畏的) effect, but it might just as easily be described as the dumbstruck effect. One observer reflected that Hitler’s persuasive impact came from his ability to strategically express emotions — he would “tear open his heart” — and these emotions affected his followers to the point that they would “stop thinking critically and just emote (激动地表达感情).” Leaders who master emotions can rob us of our abilities to reason. If their values are out of step with our own, the results can be destructive. New evidence suggests that when people have selfish motives, emotional intelligence becomes a weapon for controlling others. Throwing light on this dark side of emotional intelligence is one mission of a research team led by University College London professor Martin Kilduff. According to these experts, emotional intelligence helps people disguise (伪装) one set of emotions while expressing another for personal gain. Professor Kilduffs team writes, “The strategic disguise of one’s own emotions and the controlling of others’ emotions for strategic ends are behaviors evident not only on Shakespeare’s stage but also in the offices and corridors where power and influence are traded.” Of course, people aren’t always using emotional intelligence for evil ends. More often than not, high EQ is helpful in most aspects of our life. Emotional intelligence — like any skill — can be used for good or evil. So whether it is a gift or a curse lies in your hand. 24. Why does the author mention Martin Luther King, Jr? A. To advocate a society with fewer problems. B. To recommend his speech to other leaders. C. To honor the great leader for his courage. D. To introduce the major topic to readers. 25. What is the dumbstruck effect of Hitler’s emotional intelligence? A. His followers would tear open their hearts to him. B. His followers would express emotions strategically. C. His followers would develop the self-serving motives. D. His followers would lose the ability to reason properly. 26. How do people use their emotional intelligence for personal gain? A. They disguise their true emotions and show another one. B. They present their strategic behaviors on the stage. C. They help their colleagues to build up confidence. D. They lower their own dignity to gain popularity. 27. What would be the best title for the passage? A. The benefits of emotional intelligence. B. The reasons for using emotional skills. C. The dark side of emotional intelligence. D. The advantages and disadvantages of emotions. 【答案】24. D 25. D 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了什么是情商及情商的阴暗面。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When Martin Luther King. Jr. presented his dream, he chose language that would stir the hearts of his audience. Delivering this electrifying message required emotional intelligence — the ability to recognize, understand, and manage emotions.(当马丁·路德·金在讲述他的梦想时，他选择了能够触动听众心弦的语言。传递这种激动人心的信息需要情商——即识别、理解和管理情绪的能力)”可知，马丁·路德·金的演讲就是运用了情商。而情商就是文章的主题，所以引用马丁·路德·金的例子就是引出主题。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“One observer reflected that Hitler’s persuasive impact came from his ability to strategically express emotions — he would “tear open his heart” — and these emotions affected his followers to the point that they would “stop thinking critically and just emote (激动地表达感情).”(一位观察家反映，希特勒的说服力来自于他策略性地表达情绪的能力——他会“撕开自己的心”——这些情绪影响着他的追随者，以至于他们“停止批判性思考，只是情绪化”)”可知，希特勒的情商会让他的追随者失去理智。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“According to these experts, emotional intelligence helps people disguise (伪装) one set of emotions while expressing another for personal gain.(根据这些专家的说法，情商可以帮助人们掩饰一种情绪，同时表达另一种情绪以获取个人利益)”可知，情商可以使人们掩饰他们自己的真实情感，展示另一种情感。故选A。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第三段“Social scientists have begun to document this dark side of emotional intelligence.(社会科学家已经开始记录情商的黑暗面)”可知，文章前两段介绍什么是情商，从第三段开始主要介绍情商的阴暗面，并举例论证。所以本文主要讲的是情商的阴暗面，故C选项“情商的黑暗面”是文章最佳标题。故选C。 第二节：阅读并回答问题（共4小题 每小题2分 共8分） 阅读表达 Can a Robot Really Freestyle? Engineers at the Georgia Institute of Technology, led by Gil Weinberg, have designed the first musical robot capable of not only playing music, but creating it. His name is Shimon. Weinberg, who is a musician, engineer, and professor of musical technology, found himself in a creative rut (俗套) and decided to create a robot that could inspire him with new musical ideas. Shimon was trained on a vast data set of everything from progressive rock to jazz to rap. His works really surprise human listeners. Up until recent advancements, applications of AI (artificial intelligence) have mostly consisted of well-defined tasks, but many are concerned that new technology like Shimon could result in lost jobs for millions of people, even those in creative industry. While the concern of an offing future in which humans are entirely replaced by robots certainly isn’t unfounded, a much more likely future is one in which robots work alongside humans to improve their work. Experts say that AI will actually create jobs for humans, not des troy them. The Guardian recently reported that by 2037, AI will create more than 7 million new jobs in the healthcare, education, and science fields in the UK. Shimon is showing us what can happen when robots don’t just work for us, but with us. Instead of putting any of our favorite musicians out of work, robots will certainly be challenging and inspiring them in new ways. The cooperation between humans and robots can produce new and attractive music, leading to novel musical outcomes. Thanks to the innovation of Weinberg and his team, rap battles, Jam sessions, and symphony orchestras alike may begin to look and act considerably different. 28. What can Shimon do? _______________________________________________________________________________ 29. Why did Gil Weinberg create Shimon? _______________________________________________________________________________ 30. How do many people like the applications of AI in the field of work? _______________________________________________________________________________ 31. According to the writer, what effect will the applications of AI have on creative industry? _______________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】28. Shimon can play and create music. 29. Gil Weinberg created Shimon to inspire him with new musical ideas. 30. Concerned. 31. The applications of AI will certainly be challenging and inspiring people in creative industry in new ways. /The cooperation between humans and robots can lead to novel outcomes in creative industry. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍Gil Weinberg领导佐治亚理工学院的工程师们设计了第一个不仅能演奏音乐，还能创造音乐的音乐机器人。 【28题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段中“Engineers at the Georgia Institute of Technology, led by Gil Weinberg, have designed the first musical robot capable of not only playing music, but creating it. His name is Shimon.(在Gil Weinberg带领下，佐治亚理工学院的工程师们设计出了第一个不仅能演奏音乐，还能创作音乐的音乐机器人。他的名字叫Shimon)”可知，Shimon可以演奏并创作音乐，故答案为Shimon can play and create music. 【29题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段中“Weinberg, who is a musician, engineer, and professor of musical technology, found himself in a creative rut (俗套) and decided to create a robot that could inspire him with new musical ideas.(Weinberg是一名音乐家、工程师和音乐技术教授，他发现自己陷入了创作的俗套，并决定创造一个可以激发他新的音乐创意的机器人)”可知，Gil Weinberg创造Shimon是为了激发他新的音乐创意，故答案为Gil Weinberg created Shimon to inspire him with new musical ideas. 【30题详解】 考查推理判断。根据第二段中“Up until recent advancements, applications of AI (artificial intelligence) have mostly consisted of well-defined tasks, but many are concerned that new technology like Shimon could result in lost jobs for millions of people, even those in creative industry(直到最近的进展，AI的应用主要由定义良好的任务组成，但许多人担心，像Shimon这样的新技术可能会导致数百万人失业，甚至包括创意产业的人)”可知，很多人对于人工智能在工作领域的应用表示担心，故答案为Concerned. 【31题详解】 考查细节理解。根据最后一段中“Instead of putting any of our favorite musicians out of work, robots will certainly be challenging and inspiring them in new ways. The cooperation between humans and robots can produce new and attractive music, leading to novel musical outcomes.(机器人不会让我们最喜欢的音乐家失业，而是肯定会以新的方式挑战和激励他们。人类和机器人之间的合作可以产生新的和有吸引力的音乐，导致新颖的音乐成果)”可知，人工智能的应用肯定会以新的方式挑战和激励创意产业的人们，人与机器人之间的合作可以在创意产业中产生新的成果。故答案为The applications of AI will certainly be challenging and inspiring people in creative industry in new ways./The cooperation between humans and robots can lead to novel outcomes in creative industry. 第三部分：语法填空 (共9小题；每小题1分，共9分) 根据句意，填入适当的连接词,完成以下定语从句或名词性从句。每空仅填一个词。 32.

(用适当的词填空) 【答案】why 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：你能告诉我你交作业总是迟到的原因吗？空处引导限制性定语从句，修饰先行词reason，先行词在从句中表示行为发生的原因，作原因状语，应用关系副词why作引导词。故填why。 38.

Take a look at the list below and choose one that meets your needs. 1. G-GPS G-GPS is one of the most popular navigation (导航) tools designed for remote mountainous areas. For some hikers, dependable maps and an easily searchable trail database are a must for a hiking app. G-GPS has both, which makes it a great option for beginners and expert hikers alike. It provides data like pace, distance and increased height. Moreover, it works fine when you’re offline and without cell service. If you’re a fan of cold-temperature hiking this app’s paid version ($40) has a winter map choice that displays features to help navigate in snowy weather. 2. P-Finder Many hikers tend to have the experience of standing on a peak, looking at another mountain and wondering “What peak is that?” If you’d like to avoid the problem, P-Finde might be the app for you. It takes the guesswork out of your exploration, thanks to its unique offering: a 360° view of mountain peaks and their names from your current location, requiring no Internet connection. Plus, all levels of hikers can use it, especially for finding new peaks to hike. Added bonus: The app has some practical functions, which allow you to take some breathtaking shots and then automatically (自动地) label each peak with its correct name. You can buy the app for $5 on its official website. 3. N-Land N-Land Digital is a Canadian nonprofit that helps expert hikers to learn more about their local history and the Indigenous territories (土著领地). By entering your address, a number of links will appear with the names of different Indigenous nations. Clicking on those links, you will be taken to a page specifically about that nation, language, or treaty, where you can view some sources, give feedback, and learn a little more. You can even do this if you’re offline. This app is an ongoing project, and maps of new territories are regularly added. You’ll likely want to use this app together with another app such as A-Trails or V-Ranger, if you’re also seeking navigational help. 16. Which app can provide a whole view of mountain peaks? A. G-GPS. B. P-Finder. C. N-Land. D. A-Trails. 17. What do the three apps have in common? A. They suit all levels of hikers. B. They should be used with other apps. C. They are free of charge in the app stores. D. They can be used without Internet connection. 18. What can we learn from the passage? A. G-GPS is a must for hikers due to its database. B. P-Finder can automatically take a photo for users. C. N-Land can increase users’ knowledge of the land. D. V-Ranger can attach the correct name to each location. 19. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To recommend apps for hikers. B. To introduce various hiking trails. C. To encourage people to go hiking. D. To compare different kinds of apps. B Anuar Abdullah has always had a special feeling for the ocean. In the 1980s, he settled in Perhentian as a diving instructor and fell in love with corals. Twice daily, he went out to sea, staying underwater for as long as his oxygen supply allowed. He learned the shapes and textures (纹理) of coral reefs long before he knew their Latin names. He studied the living conditions—the water temperature, the sunshine, the diversity(多样性) of ocean life—and saw how just one of those factors could bring about large-scale death. Abdullah spent two decades experimenting with how to grow coral reefs in the ocean. He didn’t have a degree in marine (海洋的) biology or a research lab, but he had his own ways. Almost all the materials he used to grow corals came directly from the ocean. He didn’t use steel pipes or bricks—which he couldn’t afford—instead, he gathered rocks from the seafloor, piling them so they wouldn’t be knocked down by tidal waves. While others might depend on a lab to break live coral into pieces that were in turn used for growing, he searched for broken pieces of coral in existing reefs and fixed them to the rocks using animal-friendly glue. When he needed other materials, he started by searching the beach for waste. Every day, the locals saw him on his knees examining corals in the ocean. Sometimes, he picked up a rock to which he had fixed a piece of coral several weeks earlier, and said very quietly, “My little acropora (鹿角大珊瑚), how are you doing today?” The locals whispered about how he’d spent days in the water speaking to corals as if they were people. “Everyone thought I was stupid,” said Abdullah, “But I knew I was doing the most important thing in the world.” Actually, Abdullah was right. Now, in a world rapidly losing its coral reefs to climate change and environmental damage, he has become an increasingly influential expert on how to bring them back to life. Thousands have traveled from around the world to learn from Abdullah how to grow corals, with some eventually leaving their jobs to join his projects full time. With his 700 active volunteers, he has already saved about 125 acres of coral reefs. 20. Abdullah went out to sea twice daily to ________. A. study coral reefs B. have diving training C. check his oxygen supply D. share his feelings for the sea 21. Abdullah’s way of growing corals is________. A. eco-friendly and practical B. traditional and indirect C. high-tech and affordable D. scientific and expensive 22. From the passage we know that Abdullah________. A. searched for waste to make a living B. received a degree in marine biology C. talked to everyone about coral reefs D. became an expert on coral protection 23. What can we learn from the story? A. Anyone with a dream is amazing. B. Achievement provides true pleasure. C. An individual can make a difference. D. The strong man is strongest when alone. C When you hear “I have a dream…”, one of the most famous speeches in human history, you’ll never have the idea how the audience on the scene were fueled by emotional intelligence. When Martin Luther King. Jr. presented his dream, he chose language that would stir the hearts of his audience. Delivering this electrifying message required emotional intelligence — the ability to recognize, understand, and manage emotions. Emotional intelligence has been highly recommended by leaders, policymakers, and educators as the solution to a wide range of social problems. Emotional intelligence is important, but the uncontrolled enthusiasm has obscured (掩盖) a dark side. New evidence shows that when people sharpen their emotional skills, they become better at controlling others. When you’re good at controlling your own emotions, you can hide your true feelings. When you know what others are feeling, you can motivate them to act against their own best interests. Social scientists have begun to document this dark side of emotional intelligence. In a research conducted by Professor Jochen Menges from University of Toronto, when a leader gave an inspiring speech filled with emotion, the audience was less likely to examine the message closely and remember the content. Ironically (讽刺的是), audience members were so moved by the speech that they claimed to recall more of it. The authors call this the awestruck (敬畏的) effect, but it might just as easily be described as the dumbstruck effect. One observer reflected that Hitler’s persuasive impact came from his ability to strategically express emotions — he would “tear open his heart” — and these emotions affected his followers to the point that they would “stop thinking critically and just emote (激动地表达感情).” Leaders who master emotions can rob us of our abilities to reason. If their values are out of step with our own, the results can be destructive. New evidence suggests that when people have selfish motives, emotional intelligence becomes a weapon for controlling others. Throwing light on this dark side of emotional intelligence is one mission of a research team led by University College London professor Martin Kilduff. According to these experts, emotional intelligence helps people disguise (伪装) one set of emotions while expressing another for personal gain. Professor Kilduffs team writes, “The strategic disguise of one’s own emotions and the controlling of others’ emotions for strategic ends are behaviors evident not only on Shakespeare’s stage but also in the offices and corridors where power and influence are traded.” Of course, people aren’t always using emotional intelligence for evil ends. More often than not, high EQ is helpful in most aspects of our life. Emotional intelligence — like any skill — can be used for good or evil. So whether it is a gift or a curse lies in your hand. 24. Why does the author mention Martin Luther King, Jr? A. To advocate a society with fewer problems. B. To recommend his speech to other leaders. C. To honor the great leader for his courage. D. To introduce the major topic to readers. 25. What is the dumbstruck effect of Hitler’s emotional intelligence? A. His followers would tear open their hearts to him. B. His followers would express emotions strategically. C. His followers would develop the self-serving motives. D. His followers would lose the ability to reason properly. 26. How do people use their emotional intelligence for personal gain? A. They disguise their true emotions and show another one. B. They present their strategic behaviors on the stage. C. They help their colleagues to build up confidence. D. They lower their own dignity to gain popularity. 27. What would be the best title for the passage? A. The benefits of emotional intelligence. B. The reasons for using emotional skills. C. The dark side of emotional intelligence. D. The advantages and disadvantages of emotions. 第二节：阅读并回答问题（共4小题 每小题2分 共8分） 阅读表达 Can a Robot Really Freestyle? Engineers at the Georgia Institute of Technology, led by Gil Weinberg, have designed the first musical robot capable of not only playing music, but creating it. His name is Shimon. Weinberg, who is a musician, engineer, and professor of musical technology, found himself in a creative rut (俗套) and decided to create a robot that could inspire him with new musical ideas. Shimon was trained on a vast data set of everything from progressive rock to jazz to rap. His works really surprise human listeners. Up until recent advancements, applications of AI (artificial intelligence) have mostly consisted of well-defined tasks, but many are concerned that new technology like Shimon could result in lost jobs for millions of people, even those in creative industry. While the concern of an offing future in which humans are entirely replaced by robots certainly isn’t unfounded, a much more likely future is one in which robots work alongside humans to improve their work. Experts say that AI will actually create jobs for humans, not des troy them. The Guardian recently reported that by 2037, AI will create more than 7 million new jobs in the healthcare, education, and science fields in the UK. Shimon is showing us what can happen when robots don’t just work for us, but with us. Instead of putting any of our favorite musicians out of work, robots will certainly be challenging and inspiring them in new ways. The cooperation between humans and robots can produce new and attractive music, leading to novel musical outcomes. Thanks to the innovation of Weinberg and his team, rap battles, Jam sessions, and symphony orchestras alike may begin to look and act considerably different. 28. What can Shimon do? _______________________________________________________________________________ 29. Why did Gil Weinberg create Shimon? _______________________________________________________________________________ 30. How do many people like the applications of AI in the field of work? _______________________________________________________________________________ 31. According to the writer, what effect will the applications of AI have on creative industry? _______________________________________________________________________________ 第三部分：语法填空 (共9小题；每小题1分，共9分) 根据句意，填入适当的连接词,完成以下定语从句或名词性从句。每空仅填一个词。 32.
