When the teacher introduced the course, I realized my mistake. The credits I earned from the course wouldn't count toward my major. By the end of the session, however, I decided that I had to be a part of the course. Perhaps, as a lifelong reader, I was eager to understand how stories worked their magic. But taking the class would be impossible: I wasn’t even on the waitlist. That’s when the teacher asked for a volunteer to submit the first workshop story. Silence blanketed the room. No one risked eye contact. Whoever volunteered would have to write a whole story in a week. Perhaps they, like me, had never written one before. Seizing my chance, I raised my hand and asked, “If I go first, will you give me a spot in the class?” He said he would. So, instead of keeping my head down and avoiding eye contact, I did the opposite. Years later, I’d completed a degree in creative writing and was working on a novel when a literary agent (经纪人) asked to read the first 50 pages of my draft. But I wasn’t comfortable showing her anything; the novel was far from done. Throughout graduate school, I’d been advised many times not to contact agents until I have a complete draft. In the meanwhile, I knew the beginning of my story was attractive and that the agent might not remember me after a year. So, once again, instead of keeping my head down and avoiding eye contact, I did the opposite. I sent her the first three chapters. A month later, she signed me on the strength of those chapters alone. She has since seen me through the publication of three novels. Determination, focus, perseverance — the qualities that I consider crucial in getting me into Stanford no doubt helped me become the novelist I am today. And yet if I’d trained my gaze only on the path ahead, I would have missed so many happy accidents, so many beautiful opportunities to look up, raise my hand, and say yes. 4. What made the author finally decide to take the course? A. The popularity of the course. B. Her curiosity about story writing. C. Her confidence in her writing skills. D. The need to get credits for her degree. 5. The author volunteered to write the first workshop story to ________. A. challenge herself B. impress the teacher C. display her talent D. win a place in the class 6. The author sent her first three chapters to the agent because ________. A. she wanted to get the chance of publication B. the agent asked her to turn in the work C. her story was attractive to readers D. her friends advised her to do so 7. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. Action speaks louder than words. B. Chance favors only the prepared mind. C. Success comes to those who will and dare. D. Confidence leads to growth and fulfillment. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在大学时因偶然进入创意写作课，并为了获得上课资格而主动争取第一个分享故事的机会，从而开启写作生涯；后来在成为小说家过程中，又违背常规建议，主动将未完成的小说章节发给文学经纪人并最终获得成功的经历。文章通过这两个关键时刻，传达了主动把握机会、勇于尝试的重要性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“By the end of the session, however, I decided that I had to be a part of the course. Perhaps, as a lifelong reader, I was eager to understand how stories worked their magic.(然而，在第一节课结束时，我决定我必须成为这门课的一部分。也许，作为一名终身的读者，我渴望理解故事是如何施展魔法的。)”可知，作者最终决定上课是出于她对故事写作原理的好奇心。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Seizing my chance, I raised my hand and asked, ‘If I go first, will you give me a spot in the class?’(抓住我的机会，我举手问道：“如果我第一个上，您能给我一个上课名额吗？”)”可知，作者自愿写第一个研讨故事是为了赢得课堂上的一个席位。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段“In the meanwhile, I knew the beginning of my story was attractive and that the agent might not remember me after a year. So, once again, instead of keeping my head down and avoiding eye contact, I did the opposite. I sent her the first three chapters.(同时，我知道我故事的开头很吸引人，而且那位经纪人一年后可能就不记得我了。所以，再一次，我没有低头回避，而是反其道而行之。我把前三章发给了她。)”可推知，作者把前三章发给经纪人，是因为她想抓住这个可能稍纵即逝的出版机会，即使作品尚未完成。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章核心讲述了作者人生中两次关键选择：第一次主动举手，以第一个写故事为条件换取了上课机会；第二次主动将未完成的作品章节发给经纪人，从而获得了出版合约。这两个决定都体现了“主动争取、敢于冒险”的精神，并最终带来了成功。C项“Success comes to those who will and dare.(成功属于那些有意愿且敢于行动的人。)”准确地概括了这一主旨。故选C。 C There’s an inner desire amongst most people to explore our planet. There’s this sense in modern society that somehow we will find a better existence or we’ll find happiness by going on holiday. I think we’ve almost been conditioned to become tourists, to the extent that a lot of people engage in tourism without actually considering why they’re doing so. There are plenty of people who will go to the same place every year, because they’re comfortable and familiar with it. People are experiencing less and less the places they are at. They might be there in body, but not necessarily in mind, because a lot of people are constantly thinking: “How am I going to present myself to my social media group back home through my posts on Facebook or Instagram?” But this is just one side of the problem. On the other side, our travel has taken a toll on the environment. It is reported that the carbon emissions from air travel accounted for 2.5% of global emissions in 2019, and this figure may be three times by 2050. I admit that there has been a considerable increase in people’s awareness about the environment. And some people say that this can eventually lead to a shift in our behavior as tourists. However, I can’t share their optimism. A lot of research has been done into the extent to which tourists are willing to adapt their behavior. And even those people who regularly consume or behave in an environmentally friendly fashion actually temporarily forget their environmental commitments, and behave like normal tourists. They do suffer some kind of eco-guilt, but nevertheless they continue to travel, and they continue to fly. I’m old enough to remember when tourism was just the summer holiday, and you would look forward to those two weeks a year when you would go on holiday. It was special and meaningful, but nowadays it is so easy to travel. Travel is now seen as a right, not as a privilege. However, to some extent, I hope there will be a significant rise in the cost of travel, or at least in air travel. In my opinion, only in this way can people realize the value of travel experience and really enjoy it. Also, only in this way can many problems arising with the development of tourism be properly solved. 8. What is the problem with most tourists according to the author? A. They don’t care about our planet at all. B. They post too many photos on social media. C. They can hardly find the right place to explore. D. They fail to have a meaningful traveling experience. 9. What does the underlined part “taken a toll on” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Improved. B. Damaged. C. Saved. D. Shaped. 10. What can we infer from Paragraph 4? A. Tourists can hardly be affected by environmental awareness. B. Tourists are unaware of the effect of their behavior. C. Tourists’ environmental awareness has been increased. D. Tourists find it hard to travel without harming the environment. 11. Why does the author hope airline tickets will be more expensive? A. To limit the development of tourism. B. To create a sense of equality in society. C. To help people value their traveling experience. D. To make people less excited about travelling. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章指出现在很多游客旅游缺乏有意义的体验，且旅游对环境造成破坏，即便游客有环保意识也难改变行为，作者希望提高旅行成本来解决问题。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I think we’ve almost been conditioned to become tourists, to the extent that a lot of people engage in tourism without actually considering why they’re doing so.(我认为我们几乎已经习惯于成为游客，以至于很多人去旅游，却没有真正考虑他们为什么要这样做)”和第二段中“There are plenty of people who will go to the same place every year, because they’re comfortable and familiar with it. People are experiencing less and less the places they are at. They might be there in body, but not necessarily in mind(有很多人每年都会去同一个地方，因为他们对那里感到舒适和熟悉。人们对所处之地的体验越来越少。他们可能人在那里，但心不一定在)”可知，作者提到大多数游客的问题是他们只是身体在旅游目的地，却没有用心去感受，即他们无法获得有意义的旅行体验。故选D项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。划线短语下文“It is reported that the carbon emissions from air travel accounted for 2.5% of global emissions in 2019, and this figure may be three times by 2050.(据报道，2019年航空旅行的碳排放占全球碳排放的2.5%，到2050年这一数字可能会达到三倍)”说明了旅游对环境产生了不良影响。所以“On the other side, our travel has taken a toll on the environment.(另一方面，我们的旅行taken a toll环境)”中动词短语taken a toll on的意思是“损害”，与B项“Damaged”同义。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“And even those people who regularly consume or behave in an environmentally friendly fashion actually temporarily forget their environmental commitments, and behave like normal tourists. They do suffer some kind of eco guilt, but nevertheless they continue to travel, and they continue to fly.(即使是那些经常以环保方式消费或行事的人，实际上也会暂时忘记他们的环保承诺，表现得像普通游客一样。他们确实会有某种生态负罪感，但尽管如此，他们还是继续旅行，继续坐飞机)”可知，尽管一些游客有环保意识，但很难改变自己的旅游行为，说明游客很难受到环保意识的影响。故选A项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“However, to some extent, I hope there will be a significant rise in the cost of travel, or at least in air travel. In my opinion, only in this way can people realize the value of travel experience and really enjoy it.(然而，在某种程度上，我希望旅行成本，至少是航空旅行成本会大幅上升。在我看来，只有这样，人们才能意识到旅行体验的价值并真正享受它)”可知，作者希望机票更贵是因为他希望通过增加旅行成本的方式来帮助人们重视他们的旅行体验。故选C项。 D When Genentech, a highly influential Swedish medical company, got the license for the lung-treating medicine Vixarelimab from another company, Artificial Intelligence (AI) brought an unexpected discovery: the drug could also be effective in treating inflammatory bowel disease. This vividly shows the amazing potential of AI in the field of drug research and development(R&D). The application of AI in the industry is on an upward tendency. Data (数据) from the Boston Consulting Group shows the number of clinical (临床的) experiments using AI in finding and designing molecules — the key stages of drug R&D — has jumped to 67 in 2023 from only 27 in 2021. AstraZeneca, British drug giant, is a good example of AI’s influence. The company used AI to cut the time for molecule design from years to just months or even weeks. Similarly, London-based GSK has recognized the potential of AI across its entire R&D process. However, the path to fully integrating AI into medical R&D is anything but even. “There is a data problem, a people problem and a bit of a strategy problem,” said Thomas Clozel, CEO and co-founder of Owkin, a Paris-based company that applies AI to medical research. Acquiring data and AI skills is among the key factors medical companies are facing to unlock the technology’s potential. Clozel noted medical companies’ focus on short-term results and their difficulties in attracting and keeping data scientists influence the industry’s embrace of AI. To overcome these problems, medical companies are forming partnerships with AI experts to employ AI technology in their operations. Eli Lilly, Moderna, and Sanofi have joined forces with ChatGPT’s developer, OpenAI. Meanwhile, Novartis and Eli Lilly have teamed up with Isomorphic Labs, a company founded and led by Nobel Prize winner Demis Hassabis and owned by Alphabet. While the application of AI in this field is still at its early stage and may take years to fully realize its potential, medical companies are highly keen to improve the long and costly drug-development process with AI, finally leading to more efficient and effective drug discoveries. 12. According to the article, what did AI discover about Vixarelimab? A. Vixarelimab got the license for drug R&D. B. Vixarelimab is ineffective for lung diseases. C. Vixarelimab has an amazing potential to influence AI. D. Vixarelimab can treat another disease besides lung problems. 13. What can we infer from the change of clinical experiments with AI? A. Medical companies are losing interest in AI. B. AI has not shown advantages in clinical experiments as expected. C. The application of AI in the medical industry is becoming increasingly popular. D. AI has replaced the traditional methods in drug development. 14. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 suggest? A. The way to the medical companies is easy to find with the help of AI. B. The process of using AI in medical R&D is smooth. C. The problems in embracing AI are even bigger for medical industry. D. The journey of applying AI to medical industry is filled with challenges. 15. What does the writer think about the future of AI in the medical industry? A. AI will never be successfully applied in the medical industry. B. Medical companies will stop partnering with the AI experts. C. AI will have great potential in this industry despite all the challenges. D. Drug R&D process will be made longer and more costly with AI. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文旨在介绍人工智能在制药研发领域的应用情况。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When Genentech, a highly influential Swedish medical company, got the license for the lung-treating medicine Vixarelimab from another company, Artificial Intelligence (AI) brought an unexpected discovery: the drug could also be effective in treating inflammatory bowel disease.(当颇具影响力的瑞典医疗公司Genentech从另一家公司获得治疗肺部疾病的药物Vixarelimab的许可证时，人工智能带来了一个意想不到的发现：这种药物也可以有效治疗炎症性肠病)”可知，人工智能发现Vixarelimab除了可以治疗肺部疾病外，还能治疗炎症性肠病，也就是能治疗另一种疾病，故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Data (数据) from the Boston Consulting Group shows the number of clinical (临床的) experiments using AI in finding and designing molecules — the key stages of drug R&D — has jumped to 67 in 2023 from only 27 in 2021.(波士顿咨询集团的数据显示，使用人工智能来寻找和设计分子（药物研发的关键阶段）的临床实验数量已从2021年的27个跃升至2023年的67个)”可知，使用人工智能进行药物研发关键阶段的临床试验数量从2021年的27个跃升至2023年的67个，这表明人工智能在制药行业的应用越来越受欢迎，故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“There is a data problem, a people problem and a bit of a strategy problem(这里有数据问题，人员问题，还有一点战略问题)”可知，将人工智能完全融入制药研发的道路充满挑战，有数据问题、人员问题和战略问题等，即第三段划线的句子暗示了人工智能在医疗行业的应用之旅充满挑战。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While the application of AI in this field is still at its early stage and may take years to fully realize its potential, medical companies are highly keen to improve the long and costly drug-development process with AI, finally leading to more efficient and effective drug discoveries.(虽然人工智能在这一领域的应用仍处于早期阶段，可能需要数年时间才能充分发挥其潜力，但医疗公司非常热衷于利用人工智能改善漫长而昂贵的药物开发过程，最终导致更高效和有效的药物发现)”可知，作者认为尽管存在障碍，人工智能在这个行业仍有巨大潜力，故选C。 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。 You can live a low-waste lifestyle.

Most of us are aware that we must take care of the environment, and the ________ (major) of us take steps to save energy and reduce waste and pollution. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】majority 【解析】 【详解】考查固定短语。句意：我们中的大多数人都意识到我们必须保护环境，我们中的大多数人都采取措施节约能源，减少浪费和污染。这里考查“the + 名词 + of...”的结构，“the majority of...”是一个固定短语，表示“…… 的大多数”。所给单词“major” 是形容词，意思是“主要的；多数的”，需要将其变为名词形式。故填majority。 37. All over the world you can see kids playing to their hearts’ content with a ball _______ (make) of plastic bags. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】made 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：在世界各地，你都可以看到孩子们用塑料袋做的球尽情地玩耍。句中已有谓语can see，空处作非谓语动词，make与ball构成被动关系，故用过去分词作后置定语。故填made。 38. ________ this in mind, perhaps we should judge a movie in its own right, and not against its original source. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】With 【解析】 【详解】考查with复合结构。句意：考虑到这一点，也许我们应该就电影本身来评判它，而不是与它的原著进行对比。“with this in mind”是固定表达，意为“考虑到这一点；记住这一点”，这里是with复合结构作伴随状语；句首单词首字母大写。故填With。 39. ________(use) such techniques, the opera transformed a small stage into the whole universe. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】Using 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：运用这些技巧，歌剧把一个小舞台变成了整个宇宙。分析句子结构，空处作非谓语动词，use与逻辑主语the opera之间是主动关系，应用现在分词形式作状语，using置于句首，首字母大写。故填Using。 40. Perhaps, one day, readers of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s most admired work will find themselves __________ (glue) to their screens by episodes of The Great Gatsby. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】glued 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：也许有一天，F.斯科特·菲茨杰拉德最受赞赏的作品的读者会发现自己被《了不起的盖茨比》的剧情吸引在屏幕前。本句使用了“find + 宾语 + 宾语补足语”结构，此处 themselves 与 glue 之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词作宾语补足语，故填glued。 41. The point guard is a key player, ________ it was like he wasn’t even on the court! (用适当的词填空) 【答案】but 【解析】 【详解】考查连词。句意：控球后卫是一个关键球员，但就像他根本不在场上一样！根据句意可知，前半句提到 “The point guard is a key player”（控球后卫是关键球员），后半句说“it was like he wasn’t even on the court”（好像他根本不在球场上），前后句之间是转折关系，所以用but连接。故填but。 42. How would you expect others to ________ (true) understand your emotions if you only shared good news instead of bad? (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】truly 【解析】 【详解】考查副词。句意：如果只分享好消息而从不提及坏消息，你又怎能期望他人真正理解你的内心感受呢？修饰动词understand用副词truly。故填truly。 43. In 1980, Benchley ________ (dive) when he came across an awful sight. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】was diving 【解析】 【详解】考查动词时态。句意：1980年，本奇利在潜水时看到了可怕的一幕。分析句子可知，这里考查的是 “be doing...when...”这个固定句型，表示“正在做某事的时候，突然（这时）发生了另一件事”。“when”是并列连词，连接两个并列动作。然后根据句子中的时间状语“In 1980”可知，句子要用过去进行时态。故填was diving。 44. This insight grew from the determined attitude of a six-year-old boy who had the courage and perseverance to make his dream ________ reality. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】a 【解析】 【详解】考查冠词。句意：这一见解源于一个六岁男孩坚定的态度，他有着勇气和毅力，能够将自己的梦想变为现实。短语make dream a reality表示“将梦想变为现实”。故填a。 45. This is a programme run by The Gorilla Organization to raise money to save the world’s remaining gorillas from ________ (die) out. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】dying 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：这是由大猩猩组织运营的一个项目，旨在筹集资金以拯救世界上现存的大猩猩免于灭绝。介词from后需接动名词作宾语，die的动名词形式为dying，构成短语“save...from dying out”，意为“防止……灭绝。故填dying。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分25分） 46. 假定你是李华，为了鼓励同学们积极参与体育运动，你校将举办“中华传统体育运动周”活动，请为校英语公众号拟一则通知，内容包括： (1)活动的时间和地点； (2)活动的内容和意义； (3)欢迎参与。 注意： (1)词数80词左右； (2)可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 NOTICE ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Student Union 【答案】NOTICE We are excited to announce that our school will host the “Chinese Traditional Sports Week” to encourage everyone to participate in sports activities.

Like other boys at his age, the golden-haired boy wanted to play with his friends and have fun, but fate had other plans. After observing what was happening in his house, the boy decided to do something for his family. He picked up his only toy, a ball, and left his house with a mission—to help his family. Little Adler walked to the nearest store with his last toy in hand, hoping he could sell it. While the little boy was selling his toy at the street, a man with the TikTok name Ruben Cervantes spotted him. Curious, he approached Adler to see what happened to him. With tears in his eyes the little one said, “I just want to sell my only toy, sir. Would you like it?” When Cervantes learned Adler was selling his toy to help his family, he asked, “How much is it?” Adler replied, “I don’t want money, sir I just want milk and bread for my family.” At that moment, Cervantes was so moved While other children at his age were enjoying and living a carefree life, Adler was worrying about his home’s financial situation. Without hesitation, Cervantes took the ball from the boy, gave him a hug and said, “Don’t cry, my boy. I’ll keep your ball for now, hoping to play it with you one day.” Cervantes did buy milk and bread in exchange for his ball and sent him back home. The boy flashed a toothy smile and said, “Thank you so much, sir. I’m looking forward.” Immediately Cervantes got home, he posted Adler’s story on TikTok. All the viewers were touched by his devotion to his family and expressed their willingness to help the poor family. For a month, piles of food and clothes were flooding into Cervantes’ home. Apparently, it’s time for him to pay a visit. 注意： 1.续写词数应为80左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One day, there was a knock at the door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One day, there was a knock at the door.

He also decided to distribute some food to other poor people to pass down this kindness. That day was the best day for Adler. Not only did he get enough food for his family, but also he realized that there was really good in the world. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了小男孩Adler想卖掉自己的玩具为家人换取牛奶和面包，他的举动感动了Ruben Cervantes，在给小男孩买了牛奶和面包后，Cervantes把小男孩的故事发布在社交媒体上，很快便获得了大量的食物和衣服捐赠的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由首句内容“一天，有人敲门。”可知，该段可描写Cervantes去小男孩家送物资及小男孩的反应。 2.续写线索：卖玩具换食物——感动——分享故事——获得捐助——送物资——感激 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.看望某人：see sb/visit sb ②.分配：distribute/allocate ③.获得：get/receive/gain 情绪类 ①.开心：happy/joyful/cheerful/delighted ②.感谢：be grateful/showing one’s appreciation/show one’s gratitude 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B As a clueless freshman, I waltzed into my first creative writing course by accident, thinking it was a literature class on how to read stories, not how to write them. When the teacher introduced the course, I realized my mistake. The credits I earned from the course wouldn't count toward my major. By the end of the session, however, I decided that I had to be a part of the course. Perhaps, as a lifelong reader, I was eager to understand how stories worked their magic. But taking the class would be impossible: I wasn’t even on the waitlist. That’s when the teacher asked for a volunteer to submit the first workshop story. Silence blanketed the room. No one risked eye contact. Whoever volunteered would have to write a whole story in a week. Perhaps they, like me, had never written one before. Seizing my chance, I raised my hand and asked, “If I go first, will you give me a spot in the class?” He said he would. So, instead of keeping my head down and avoiding eye contact, I did the opposite. Years later, I’d completed a degree in creative writing and was working on a novel when a literary agent (经纪人) asked to read the first 50 pages of my draft. But I wasn’t comfortable showing her anything; the novel was far from done. Throughout graduate school, I’d been advised many times not to contact agents until I have a complete draft. In the meanwhile, I knew the beginning of my story was attractive and that the agent might not remember me after a year. So, once again, instead of keeping my head down and avoiding eye contact, I did the opposite. I sent her the first three chapters. A month later, she signed me on the strength of those chapters alone. She has since seen me through the publication of three novels. Determination, focus, perseverance — the qualities that I consider crucial in getting me into Stanford no doubt helped me become the novelist I am today. And yet if I’d trained my gaze only on the path ahead, I would have missed so many happy accidents, so many beautiful opportunities to look up, raise my hand, and say yes. 4. What made the author finally decide to take the course? A. The popularity of the course. B. Her curiosity about story writing. C. Her confidence in her writing skills. D. The need to get credits for her degree. 5. The author volunteered to write the first workshop story to ________. A. challenge herself B. impress the teacher C. display her talent D. win a place in the class 6. The author sent her first three chapters to the agent because ________. A. she wanted to get the chance of publication B. the agent asked her to turn in the work C. her story was attractive to readers D. her friends advised her to do so 7. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. Action speaks louder than words. B. Chance favors only the prepared mind. C. Success comes to those who will and dare. D. Confidence leads to growth and fulfillment. C There’s an inner desire amongst most people to explore our planet. There’s this sense in modern society that somehow we will find a better existence or we’ll find happiness by going on holiday. I think we’ve almost been conditioned to become tourists, to the extent that a lot of people engage in tourism without actually considering why they’re doing so. There are plenty of people who will go to the same place every year, because they’re comfortable and familiar with it. People are experiencing less and less the places they are at. They might be there in body, but not necessarily in mind, because a lot of people are constantly thinking: “How am I going to present myself to my social media group back home through my posts on Facebook or Instagram?” But this is just one side of the problem. On the other side, our travel has taken a toll on the environment. It is reported that the carbon emissions from air travel accounted for 2.5% of global emissions in 2019, and this figure may be three times by 2050. I admit that there has been a considerable increase in people’s awareness about the environment. And some people say that this can eventually lead to a shift in our behavior as tourists. However, I can’t share their optimism. A lot of research has been done into the extent to which tourists are willing to adapt their behavior. And even those people who regularly consume or behave in an environmentally friendly fashion actually temporarily forget their environmental commitments, and behave like normal tourists. They do suffer some kind of eco-guilt, but nevertheless they continue to travel, and they continue to fly. I’m old enough to remember when tourism was just the summer holiday, and you would look forward to those two weeks a year when you would go on holiday. It was special and meaningful, but nowadays it is so easy to travel. Travel is now seen as a right, not as a privilege. However, to some extent, I hope there will be a significant rise in the cost of travel, or at least in air travel. In my opinion, only in this way can people realize the value of travel experience and really enjoy it. Also, only in this way can many problems arising with the development of tourism be properly solved. 8. What is the problem with most tourists according to the author? A. They don’t care about our planet at all. B. They post too many photos on social media. C. They can hardly find the right place to explore. D. They fail to have a meaningful traveling experience. 9. What does the underlined part “taken a toll on” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Improved. B. Damaged. C. Saved. D. Shaped. 10. What can we infer from Paragraph 4? A. Tourists can hardly be affected by environmental awareness. B. Tourists are unaware of the effect of their behavior. C. Tourists’ environmental awareness has been increased. D. Tourists find it hard to travel without harming the environment. 11. Why does the author hope airline tickets will be more expensive? A. To limit the development of tourism. B. To create a sense of equality in society. C. To help people value their traveling experience. D. To make people less excited about travelling. D When Genentech, a highly influential Swedish medical company, got the license for the lung-treating medicine Vixarelimab from another company, Artificial Intelligence (AI) brought an unexpected discovery: the drug could also be effective in treating inflammatory bowel disease. This vividly shows the amazing potential of AI in the field of drug research and development(R&D). The application of AI in the industry is on an upward tendency. Data (数据) from the Boston Consulting Group shows the number of clinical (临床的) experiments using AI in finding and designing molecules — the key stages of drug R&D — has jumped to 67 in 2023 from only 27 in 2021. AstraZeneca, British drug giant, is a good example of AI’s influence. The company used AI to cut the time for molecule design from years to just months or even weeks. Similarly, London-based GSK has recognized the potential of AI across its entire R&D process. However, the path to fully integrating AI into medical R&D is anything but even. “There is a data problem, a people problem and a bit of a strategy problem,” said Thomas Clozel, CEO and co-founder of Owkin, a Paris-based company that applies AI to medical research. Acquiring data and AI skills is among the key factors medical companies are facing to unlock the technology’s potential. Clozel noted medical companies’ focus on short-term results and their difficulties in attracting and keeping data scientists influence the industry’s embrace of AI. To overcome these problems, medical companies are forming partnerships with AI experts to employ AI technology in their operations.

Like other boys at his age, the golden-haired boy wanted to play with his friends and have fun, but fate had other plans. After observing what was happening in his house, the boy decided to do something for his family. He picked up his only toy, a ball, and left his house with a mission—to help his family. Little Adler walked to the nearest store with his last toy in hand, hoping he could sell it. While the little boy was selling his toy at the street, a man with the TikTok name Ruben Cervantes spotted him. Curious, he approached Adler to see what happened to him. With tears in his eyes the little one said, “I just want to sell my only toy, sir. Would you like it?” When Cervantes learned Adler was selling his toy to help his family, he asked, “How much is it?” Adler replied, “I don’t want money, sir I just want milk and bread for my family.” At that moment, Cervantes was so moved While other children at his age were enjoying and living a carefree life, Adler was worrying about his home’s financial situation. Without hesitation, Cervantes took the ball from the boy, gave him a hug and said, “Don’t cry, my boy. I’ll keep your ball for now, hoping to play it with you one day.” Cervantes did buy milk and bread in exchange for his ball and sent him back home. The boy flashed a toothy smile and said, “Thank you so much, sir. I’m looking forward.” Immediately Cervantes got home, he posted Adler’s story on TikTok. All the viewers were touched by his devotion to his family and expressed their willingness to help the poor family. For a month, piles of food and clothes were flooding into Cervantes’ home. Apparently, it’s time for him to pay a visit. 注意： 1.续写词数应为80左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One day, there was a knock at the door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
