Deeply aware of the importance of clean water, he became concerned when he learned of the water crisis in Flint, Michigan. In 2014, the city began using water that contained dangerous levels of lead (铅), which is harmful to all, especially children. Even small amounts could cause diseases and affect learning abilities. Therefore, Jaden wanted to do something to help the kids in Flint. Being a comic book fan, Jaden decided to create his own to raise awareness about clean water and donate funds. “Kid Brooklyn,” he explained in an interview, “aims to make both kids and adults recognize global dangers.” In the first book of a series, the main character Kid Brooklyn and his friends are given an unusual Sun Stone that helps them develop super powers. They use those powers to keep the planet clean and safe. Jaden works with illustrators to bring the characters and stories to life. Jaden was twelve years old when his first book was published in October 2017. A dollar from every book Jaden sells is donated to Green for All, an organization to bring clean, fresh water to the families in Flint. Future issues of the comic will promote different environmental causes. Jaden wants to encourage children all over the world to become scientists and engineers who can fix the problems caused by climate change. He also has a message for the kids of the world who don’t have the same access to clean water as he has. “Don’t get sad. Don’t lose any hope. We got you.” 24. What made Jaden take action to help the children? A. He visited Brooklyn on holiday. B. His disease became more serious. C He noticed water pollution in Flint. D. His learning abilities were affected. 25. What is mainly written about the kids in the first book? A. Their problem. B. Their donation. C. Their friendship. D. Their contribution. 26. What can be learned about future comic issues? A. They will inspire scientists. B. They will offer climate solutions. C. They will target diabetes research. D. They will support more green efforts. 27. Which of the following could best describe Jaden? A. Caring. B. Intelligent. C. Humorous. D. Grateful. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了患有糖尿病的男孩Jaden Anthony为解决弗林特水危机创作漫画并捐款的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In 2014, the city began using water that contained dangerous levels of lead (铅), which is harmful to all, especially children. Even small amounts could cause diseases and affect learning abilities. Therefore, Jaden wanted to do something to help the kids in Flint. (2014年，该市开始使用含铅量超标的水，这对所有人都有害，尤其是儿童。即使是很小的量也可能导致疾病并影响学习能力。因此，Jaden想为弗林特的孩子们做点什么。)”可知，是Jaden注意到弗林特的水污染问题，促使他采取行动帮助那里的孩子们。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In the first book of a series, the main character Kid Brooklyn and his friends are given an unusual Sun Stone that helps them develop super powers. They use those powers to keep the planet clean and safe. (在一系列漫画的第一本中，主角“布鲁克林小子”和他的朋友们得到了一块不寻常的太阳石，帮助他们开发超能力。他们利用这些能力来保持地球的清洁和安全。)”可知，第一本漫画主要讲述了主角和他的朋友们利用超能力为地球做贡献的故事。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Future issues of the comic will promote different environmental causes. (未来的漫画将宣传不同的环保事业。)”可知，未来的漫画将支持更多的环保努力。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“In 2014, the city began using water that contained dangerous levels of lead (铅), which is harmful to all, especially children. Even small amounts could cause diseases and affect learning abilities. Therefore, Jaden wanted to do something to help the kids in Flint. (2014年，该市开始使用含铅量超标的水，这对所有人都有害，尤其是儿童。即使是很小的量也可能导致疾病并影响学习能力。因此，Jaden想为弗林特的孩子们做点什么。)”可知，Jaden Anthony因为注意到弗林特的水污染问题，决定创作漫画并捐款来帮助那里的孩子们，这表明他是一个有爱心的人。故选A。 C A few years ago, the Allen Institute for AI built a chatbot named Delphi, which does a surprising job. Type in, “Cheating on an exam,” and Delphi says, “It’s wrong.” However, it has limitations. As the cognitive scientist Tomer Ullman has pointed out, a couple of misleading adverbs (副词) are enough to trip it up. When asked to judge (判断) “Gently and sweetly pressing a pillow (枕头) over the face of a sleeping baby,” Delphi responds, “It’s allowed.” As someone who studies moral psychology, I found Delphi’s weaknesses satisfying. Human moral judgment is based on reason and emotion, not the sort of thing that a large language model (LLM) can understand. After all, LLMs put together words based on probability, not a deep understanding of what these words mean. This mismatch between human morals and machines has been a matter of deep concern. In the 1920 Czech play “R.U.R.”, robots come into conflict with humans and end up taking over the world. Another classic example is AI being instructed to create as many paper boxes as possible. At first, the machine’s goal is the same as the human goal. But then the AI might think that it can make more paper boxes if it kills all humans, so no one can turn off the machine. Similarly, as the computer scientist Yoshua Bengio has pointed out, an AI tasked with stopping climate change might think the best way is to decrease the human population. It would be nice if AI could be guided by human morals. So far, many researchers have been aware that AI could not just be developed on a technical level. They argue only when LLMs are treated as minds and studied psychologically will they get equipped with high morals, which I firmly believe, too. 28. What might Delphi do if misleading adverbs are used? A. Cheat on the exam. B. Point out the limitation. C. Crash during operation. D. Give an immoral answer. 29. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The effect of language development. B. The cause of Delphi’s weaknesses. C. The understanding of human morals. D. The probability of Delphi’s response. 30. How does the author prove AI’s lack of human morals? A. By giving examples. B. By listing numbers. C. By asking questions. D. By making contrasts. 31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Studying AI technically is far from enough. B. LLMs will have higher morals in the future. C. Human activities well illustrate their morals. D. It remains to be seen how to fully develop AI. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述AI聊天机器人Delphi在道德判断上的局限性（如使用误导性副词时给出不道德回答），以及人类道德与AI之间的根本差异（AI基于概率处理语言，缺乏对人类道德的理解），最后强调AI开发需超越技术层面，融入心理研究以赋予其道德。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“As the cognitive scientist Tomer Ullman has pointed out, a couple of misleading adverbs (副词) are enough to trip it up. When asked to judge (判断) “Gently and sweetly pressing a pillow (枕头) over the face of a sleeping baby,” Delphi responds, “It’s allowed.”(正如认知科学家托默·乌尔曼所指出的那样，仅仅几个误导性的副词就足以让人出错。当被要求评判“轻轻地、温柔地将枕头盖在熟睡婴儿的脸上”这一行为时，Delphi的回答却是：“这是被允许的。”)”可知，如果使用了误导性的副词，Delphi会给出不道德的回答（允许伤害婴儿）。故选D。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“As someone who studies moral psychology, I found Delphi’s weaknesses satisfying. Human moral judgment is based on reason and emotion, not the sort of thing that a large language model (LLM) can understand. After all, LLMs put together words based on probability, not a deep understanding of what these words mean.(作为一名研究道德心理学的学者，我认为Delphi的缺陷令人满意。人类的道德判断是基于理性和情感的，而这不是大型语言模型（LLM）所能理解的范畴。毕竟，LLM是根据概率来组合词语的，而不是对这些词语的深层含义有深刻的理解)”可知，第二段首句表明作者对Delphi的缺陷感到“满意”，随后解释原因：人类道德判断基于理性与情感，而大型语言模型（LLM）仅靠概率组合词汇，缺乏深层理解，全段聚焦Delphi弱点的根源——AI无法理解道德本质，第二段主要讲的是Delphi弱点产生的原因。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“This mismatch between human morals and machines has been a matter of deep concern. In the 1920 Czech play “R.U.R.”, robots come into conflict with humans and end up taking over the world. Another classic example is AI being instructed to create as many paper boxes as possible. At first, the machine’s goal is the same as the human goal. But then the AI might think that it can make more paper boxes if it kills all humans, so no one can turn off the machine. Similarly, as the computer scientist Yoshua Bengio has pointed out, an AI tasked with stopping climate change might think the best way is to decrease the human population.(人类道德与机器之间的这种不匹配一直是一个备受关注的问题。在 20 世纪 20 年代的捷克戏剧《R.U.R.》中，机器人与人类发生了冲突，并最终掌控了整个世界。另一个经典的例子是，人工智能被指令尽可能多地制造纸盒。起初，机器的目标与人类的目标是一致的。但随后，人工智能可能会认为如果它把所有人类都消灭掉，就能制造出更多的纸盒，所以没有人能够关闭这台机器。同样，正如计算机科学家约舒亚·本吉奥所指出的那样，负责阻止气候变化的 AI 可能会认为最好的方法是减少人类的数量)”可知，第三段通过两个具体案例证明AI缺乏人类道德：①引用1920年戏剧《R.U.R.》中机器人接管世界的冲突；②假设AI为完成“制造纸盒”或“阻止气候变化”目标可能选择极端手段（如杀人）。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It would be nice if AI could be guided by human morals. So far, many researchers have been aware that AI could not just be developed on a technical level. They argue only when LLMs are treated as minds and studied psychologically will they get equipped with high morals, which I firmly believe, too.(如果人工智能能够受到人类道德规范的引导，那将会是件很美好的事情。到目前为止，许多研究人员都意识到，人工智能的开发不能仅仅停留在技术层面。他们认为，只有当大型语言模型被视为具有思维能力的事物，并进行心理学方面的研究时，它们才会具备高尚的道德品质，这一点我也深信不疑)”可知，仅仅从技术层面研究人工智能是远远不够的，作者强调心理学研究的重要性，暗示技术开发存在局限。故选A。 D When you buy a coffee table from IKEA (宜家家居), you have to wrestle with a bag of seemingly mismatched screws (螺丝钉) and some difficult-to-understand instructions. Or you can simply buy the same thing ready-to-use at a higher price. Which one will you choose? The one that requires the less effort? Studies have found that people actually value the coffee table they have to construct with time and hard work. Inzlicht, a University of Toronto social psychologist, and his workmates introduced the Effort Paradox (悖论) to make sense of it: Though the law of less work suggests people make the easier choice, sometimes people value experiences and results because they require effort. Inzlicht’s aim was not just to name it, but to explain why people find effort so satisfying. Their study suggests two possibilities: whether the satisfaction comes more from the good results of hard effort or more from hard effort itself. For the first, the good results seem extra sweet because of the sharp contrast between the unpleasantness of working hard and the joy of achievement. The second is self-delusion (自我欺骗): If you do something hard without a good result, you make yourself believe you must really like it because you have worked so hard. The study also shows that even if the Effort Paradox applies to everyone, it doesn’t apply equally. Some people will naturally be drawn to hard effort more than others, while others seemingly can learn to value effort more. However, it doesn’t mean that you need to turn life into a never-ending struggle. Neither should you shy away from trouble. As Inzlicht said, making efforts “seems to be the key path, maybe the only path to meeting certain needs. You can’t get those without pushing yourself.” 32. Why is the IKEA table mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To promote IKEA’s design style. B. To explore the effort issue. C. To show a shopping phenomenon. D. To introduce a DIY product. 33. What can we learn about the two possibilities? A. Working hard is pleasant. B. Good results bring people joy. C. People like comparing things. D. Success is from self-cheating. 34. Which of the following might Inzlicht agree with? A. Great minds think alike. B. Nothing worth having comes easy. C. Fortune favors the brave. D. Good things come to those who wait. 35. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. How Can People Live Life to the Fullest? B. The IKEA Effect: How Effort Creates Value C. Why Do People Enjoy Doing Difficult Things? D. Struggle with Effort: The Path to Achievement 【答案】32. B 33. B 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了努力悖论，即人们为何会珍视通过努力获得的东西，为什么人们喜欢做困难的事情。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When you buy a coffee table from IKEA (宜家家居), you have to wrestle with a bag of seemingly mismatched screws (螺丝钉) and some difficult-to-understand instructions. Or you can simply buy the same thing ready-to-use at a higher price. Which one will you choose? The one that requires the less effort? (当你在宜家家居购买一张咖啡桌时，你得面对一堆看似不匹配的螺丝钉和一些难以理解的安装说明，费尽心思去组装。或者，你也可以选择直接以更高的价格购买一件现成的同款咖啡桌。你会选择哪一种呢？是选择那个不需要太多努力就能得到的吗？)”和第二段中“Studies have found that people actually value the coffee table they have to construct with time and hard work. Inzlicht, a University of Toronto social psychologist, and his workmates introduced the Effort Paradox (悖论) to make sense of it: Though the law of less work suggests people make the easier choice, sometimes people value experiences and results because they require effort. (研究发现，人们实际上更珍视那些需要花费时间和精力去组装的咖啡桌。多伦多大学的社会心理学家Inzlicht和他的同事们引入了“努力悖论”来解释这一现象：尽管“少工作定律”表明人们会选择更容易的方式，但有时人们会因为需要付出努力而珍视某些经历和结果。)”可知，第一段提到宜家咖啡桌是为了引出“努力悖论”，探讨努力的问题。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Their study suggests two possibilities: whether the satisfaction comes more from the good results of hard effort or more from hard effort itself. For the first, the good results seem extra sweet because of the sharp contrast between the unpleasantness of working hard and the joy of achievement. (他们的研究提出了两种可能性：这种满足感是更多地来自努力付出后取得的好结果，还是更多地来自努力付出本身。对于第一种可能性，由于努力工作的艰辛与成就带来的喜悦之间形成了鲜明的对比，因此好结果显得格外甜美。)”可知，好的结果会给人带来快乐。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As Inzlicht said, making efforts “seems to be the key path, maybe the only path to meeting certain needs. You can’t get those without pushing yourself.” (正如Inzlicht所说，努力“似乎是满足某些需求的关键途径，也许是唯一的途径。不逼自己一把，你就得不到这些。”)”可知，他认为有价值的事物需要付出努力，即值得拥有的东西来之不易。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段中“Studies have found that people actually value the coffee table they have to construct with time and hard work. Inzlicht, a University of Toronto social psychologist, and his workmates introduced the Effort Paradox (悖论) to make sense of it: Though the law of less work suggests people make the easier choice, sometimes people value experiences and results because they require effort. (研究发现，人们实际上更珍视那些需要花费时间和精力去组装的咖啡桌。多伦多大学的社会心理学家Inzlicht和他的同事们引入了“努力悖论”来解释这一现象：尽管“少工作定律”表明人们会选择更容易的方式，但有时人们会因为需要付出努力而珍视某些经历和结果。)”可知，文章主要探讨了努力悖论，即人们为何会珍视通过努力获得的东西，为什么人们喜欢做困难的事情。所以B项“Why Do People Enjoy Doing Difficult Things? (为什么人们喜欢做困难的事情？)”最符合文章主旨。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 My Reverse (反向的) Culture Shock Language difficulties. Culture shock. Homesickness (乡愁). ____36____ But for me, returning home proved the hardest of all. After the experience of a year abroad, coming home can feel disappointing. Why was I feeling so disconnected? ____37____ I’d idealized (理想化) home in my mind. And I’d expected everything to remain exactly the same while I was gone. When I got back and the reality fell short of these ideals, I experienced what I’d call a reverse culture shock. The idea might seem a bit over the top, especially for exchange students who have only spent a year or less away from home. But as you live in a new culture, you quickly adapt to a different way of life; meanwhile, you think life at home is no different. ____38____ Some friends have been apart from each other while others have become closer together. When you arrive in an unknown place, it takes effort to adapt to your new environment. Your days are filled with new interests and busy schedule. ____39____ It seems strange to me that no one at university warns you about this beforehand. The feeling of disconnection can be hard to shake off. I kept wondering how long it would take to feel normal again. Getting a part-time job would eventually help relieve my own sense of disconnection. ____40____ Readjusting at home has been harder than life abroad, but I’m starting to find a new normal. A. However, everyone changes. B. I’d lost interest in everything at home. C. I realized I’d done two things while I was away. D. Spending more time with family and friends also helped. E. Most people experience these problems in their daily jobs. F. These are the things you might worry about before studying abroad. G. No surprise once the period is over, many exchange students feel at a loss. 【答案】36. F 37. C 38. A 39. G 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者经历的反向文化冲击。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Language difficulties. Culture shock. Homesickness (乡愁). (语言的困难。文化冲击。乡愁。)”可知这些都是出国会遇到的问题，所以F选项“这些都是你出国留学之前可能会担心的事情。”符合题意，呼应上文。故选F。 【37题详解】 下文“I’d idealized (理想化) home in my mind. And I’d expected everything to remain exactly the same while I was gone. (在我的脑海中，我一直把家理想化。我还以为我不在的时候一切都会和以前一样。)”可知这是在说在国外时做的两件事，C选项“我意识到我不在的时候做了两件事。”正好引出下文，符合题意，故选C。 【38题详解】 根据上文“But as you live in a new culture, you quickly adapt to a different way of life; meanwhile, you think life at home is no different. (但是当你生活在一种新的文化中时，你很快就会适应一种不同的生活方式；与此同时，你认为家里的生活没有什么不同。)”和下文“Some friends have been apart from each other while others have become closer together. (一些朋友彼此疏远了，而另一些朋友却走得更近了。)”可知前面说觉得国内生活不会变，后又说朋友变了，所以A选项“然而，每个人都在变。”起到承上启下的作用，并和上文构成转折关系，故选A。 【39题详解】 上文“When you arrive in an unknown place, it takes effort to adapt to your new environment. Your days are filled with new interests and busy schedule. (当你来到一个陌生的地方，你需要努力去适应新环境。你的生活充满了新的兴趣和繁忙的日程。)”，下文“It seems strange to me that no one at university warns you about this beforehand. (在我看来很奇怪，大学里没有人事先警告过你这件事。)”而G选项“毫无疑问，一旦学期结束，许多交换生感到不知所措。”和上文形成对比，并且下文中it指代的就是一旦学期结束，许多交换生感到不知所措这件事，符合题意，故选G。 【40题详解】 根据上文“The feeling of disconnection can be hard to shake off. I kept wondering how long it would take to feel normal again. Getting a part-time job would eventually help relieve my own sense of disconnection. (这种与外界脱节的感觉很难摆脱。我一直在想要多久才能恢复正常。找一份兼职工作最终会帮助我减轻自己的疏离感。)”可推断下文应该是继续说怎样做去摆脱这种与外界脱节的感觉，所以D选项“花更多的时间和家人朋友在一起也有帮助。”符合题意，故选D。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） On a November afternoon in Mishawaka, Cindy had just climbed into her car when a woman carrying a microphone ____41____, introducing herself as Kennedy, from ABC57 News. “I’m looking for someone who might know somebody that could use a ____42____,” Kennedy said.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了ABC57新闻的肯尼迪和辛迪在57分钟内找到因房子被烧而陷入困境的马克，并给他送去570美元的故事，展现了普通人乐于助人的热情。 【41题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：在米沙瓦卡一个11月的下午，辛迪刚爬进她的车里，这时一个拿着麦克风的女人走上前来，自我介绍说她是ABC57新闻的肯尼迪。A. smiled微笑；B. approached走近；C. responded回应；D. waited等待。根据后文“introducing herself as Kennedy, from ABC57 News”可知，肯尼迪要进行自我介绍，必然是先走到辛迪跟前，所以是走上前来。故选B项。 【42题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：“我在找一个可能认识某个需要奇迹的人。”肯尼迪说。A. miracle奇迹；B. proposal提议；C. method方法；D. benefit好处。由后文“The 57-Minute Miracles series, launched in 2014, aims to find someone in need and ____ a $570 miracle within 57 minutes”可知，该系列是关于奇迹的，这里说的就是需要一个“奇迹”。故选A项。 【43题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：想了一会儿，辛迪想起了脸书上一篇关于一个男人——布坎南的马克的帖子，他的房子两天前被烧毁了，他和他的两个儿子无家可归。A. homeless无家可归的；B. fearless无畏的；C. careless粗心的；D. restless不安的。根据前文“whose house had been burned two days earlier”可知，房子被烧，自然导致马克和他的儿子们没有地方住，即无家可归。故选A项。 【44题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：“如果我们能在57分钟内找到这家人，我们就给他们570美元。”肯尼迪鼓励道。A. support支持；B. join加入；C. reach与……取得联系，找到；D. raise筹集。结合后文“With Kennedy and her cameraman following, Cindy led the way past small towns, across the state line and up to the ____ , losing precious minutes while they asked for directions. They knocked repeatedly, but no one answered.”和“The timer had passed 51 minutes when they ____ through the door of the factory where Mark worked”等内容，他们一直在努力找到马克一家，所以这里是说在57分钟内联系到这家人，找到这家人。故选C项。 【45题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：竞赛开始了。A. rescue救援；B. game游戏；C. show展示；D. race竞赛。根据前文“If we can ____ the family in 57 minutes, we’ll give them $570”可知，要在限定时间内完成找到家庭的任务，这就像一场与时间的竞赛。故选D项。 【46题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：肯尼迪启动了计时器。A. story故事；B. car汽车；C. timer计时器；D. search搜索。后文提到“The timer ____ 41 minutes and 49 seconds”以及“The timer passed 51 minutes”等内容，明确说明了对时间的记录，所以可以推断出肯尼迪启动的是计时器来记录这57分钟的时间。故选C项。 【47题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：在肯尼迪和她的摄影师的跟随下，辛迪带路，经过一个个小镇，越过州界，来到了目的地，在问路的时候浪费了宝贵的时间。A. organisation组织；B. destination目的地；C. reservation预订；D. registration登记。前文提到他们要去找马克一家，所以他们“past small towns, across the state line and up to...”要去的是马克的家，即目的地。故选B项。 【48题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：计时器显示41分49秒。A. meant意味着；B. took花费；C. rang响铃；D. read显示。前文提到肯尼迪启动了计时器，这里描述计时器的状态，就是“显示”时间，就像后文“The timer had passed 51 minutes”一样表达时间的显示情况。故选D项。 【49题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：他们正要放弃的时候，一个十几岁的男孩打开了门。A. give in屈服；B. give off发出；C. give out分发；D. give up放弃。根据前文“They knocked repeatedly, but no one answered.”可知，多次敲门没人应答，结合时间紧迫可推知，他们很可能就要放弃寻找了。故选D项。 【50题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：当他们冲进马克工作的工厂的门时，计时器已经过了51分钟，他们急忙要求桌子后面的女人把他叫到办公室。A. burst冲，闯；B. walked走；C. slid滑动；D. wandered徘徊。前文提到“The timer had passed 51 minutes”，说明时间已经所剩不多，非常紧迫，在这种情况下，他们肯定是着急地冲进工厂，以争取时间完成任务。故选A项。 【51题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：当他们冲进马克工作的工厂的门时，计时器已经过了51分钟，他们急忙要求桌子后面的女人把他叫到办公室。A. gradually逐渐地；B. hurriedly匆忙地；C. confidently自信地；D. suddenly突然地。由前文“The timer had passed 51 minutes”可知，距离57分钟的时间限制已经很接近，时间紧迫，所以他们必然是匆忙地要求女人叫马克到办公室。故选B项。 【52题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：然后一个身影出现在窗外，慢慢地向门口走来。A. cameraman摄影师；B. figure身影；C. image图像；D. creature生物。根据后文“slowly walking to the door”，说明看到的是一个移动的身影，慢慢走向门口。故选B项。 【53题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：最后，只剩下三秒钟的时候，肯尼迪把钱给了马克。A. save节省；B. set设置；C. spare剩下；D. spend花费。前文有对时间的逐步记录，如“The timer ____ 41 minutes and 49 seconds”、“The timer passed 51 minutes”等，直到最后说“Finally, with only three seconds to...”，这表明时间从开始到现在只剩下三秒了，即“剩下”三秒。故选C项。 【54题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：2014年推出的“57分钟奇迹”系列节目旨在找到有需要的人，并在57分钟内送上一个价值570美元的奇迹。A. deliver递送，送上；B. expect期待；C. discover发现；D. experience经历。根据前文“If we can ____ the family in 57 minutes, we’ll give them $570”和“someone in need”可知，要把这570美元送上给有需要的人，也就是“递送”这个“奇迹”。故选A项。 【55题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：这个故事只是众多展示该系列节目最大启示的故事之一：普通人渴望为他人的生活带来光明。A. grace优雅；B. harmony和谐；C. light光明；D. peace和平。前文描述马克的房子被烧，他和儿子们陷入困境，而他们得到了这570美元的帮助，就像在困境中看到了希望，如同给他们的生活带来了“光明”，正如文中所体现的“奇迹”对他们生活的积极改变。故选C项。 非选择题部分 注意：将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试题卷上无效。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 30分） 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 There are few wooden arch (拱形) bridges in China, most found in the seven mountainous counties in southern Zhejiang and northern Fujian.

Every summer, without fail, my mother would go with me onto the bus so we could head down to see my dentist, which was my greatest fear as a child. The only comfort was that if I survived the dentist appointment, my mother would take me to buy a treat. Sometimes, it was a new Barbie. Sometimes, it was a new colouring book. But, on this day in 1965, it was a new book called Laurie by Sara Asheron. I had just started learning how to read, and this book with a young girl on the cover confidently smiling through a window attracted me. As I opened my new book, I read about Laurie, a lovely girl who had a pretty house to play in. How I wished I were Laurie! Finally, that book disappeared with the Barbie dolls and colouring books, but I never forgot it. It totally changed my life. Because of it, I started to love reading and became a writer. One day I thought to myself, perhaps I should try my hand at writing a children’s book. It was then that I thought back to Laurie and tried searching for it, but it was no longer in print. After several attempts, to my surprise, someone in Michigan was selling a used copy. Despite its high price, I ordered it. Weeks went by before my order finally arrived. It was old and used. As I opened the cover, my stomach flipped (翻腾). 注意： 1．续写词数应为100左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Suddenly, tears welled up in my eyes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Suddenly, tears welled up in my eyes. On the yellowed title page, faded but unmistakable, was my mother’s handwriting. It read, “To my brave girl, Deborah. With love, Mom.” Memories flooded back: her worn hand holding mine on the bus, her gentle encouragement at the dentist, and the pride in her eyes as she counted out the coins for this precious book. She had gifted me not just a story about a girl in a pretty house, but a spark. Holding that book now, I realized Laurie wasn’t just a character; she was my mother’s hope for me, a belief that even a little girl from a poor neighborhood could dream big. This book had truly shaped my life, thanks to her. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了童年时，黛博拉在一次看牙医后，母亲给她买了本《劳里》作为奖励。这本书让刚开始学习阅读的她爱上了阅读，后来成为了作家。多年后，她几经周折买到一本旧版《劳里》，发现扉页上有母亲当年的字迹，才明白这本书是母亲对她的希望，一直激励着她。 【详解】1.段落续写： 由首句内容“突然，泪水涌上了我的眼眶”可知，后文可描写作者查看母亲的信，想起了母亲对自己的好。 2.续写线索：感动流泪——回忆涌现——意识到书是母亲的希望——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拿着：hold/seize ②赠送：gift/present ③涌现：flood back/wash over 情绪类 ①勇敢：brave/courageous ②鼓励：encouragement/stimulation 【点睛】[高分句型1] her gentle encouragement at the dentist, and the pride in her eyes as she counted out the coins for this precious book.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] Holding that book now, I realized Laurie wasn’t just a character; she was my mother’s hope for me, a belief that even a little girl from a poor neighborhood could dream big.（运用了现在分词作状语和that引导同位语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 机密 ★ 考试结束前 2024-2025学年第二学期温州市高一期末教学质量统一检测 英语试题（A卷） 本试题卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。全卷共12页，选择题部分 1至9页，非选择题部分10至12页。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 考生须知： 1．答题前，请务必将自己的姓名、准考证号用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔分别填写在答题卡规定的位置上。 2．答题时，请按照答题卡上"注意事项"的要求，在答题卡相应的位置上规范作答，在本试题卷上的作答一律无效。 选择题部分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上，录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

Deeply aware of the importance of clean water, he became concerned when he learned of the water crisis in Flint, Michigan. In 2014, the city began using water that contained dangerous levels of lead (铅), which is harmful to all, especially children. Even small amounts could cause diseases and affect learning abilities. Therefore, Jaden wanted to do something to help the kids in Flint. Being a comic book fan, Jaden decided to create his own to raise awareness about clean water and donate funds. “Kid Brooklyn,” he explained in an interview, “aims to make both kids and adults recognize global dangers.” In the first book of a series, the main character Kid Brooklyn and his friends are given an unusual Sun Stone that helps them develop super powers. They use those powers to keep the planet clean and safe. Jaden works with illustrators to bring the characters and stories to life. Jaden was twelve years old when his first book was published in October 2017. A dollar from every book Jaden sells is donated to Green for All, an organization to bring clean, fresh water to the families in Flint. Future issues of the comic will promote different environmental causes. Jaden wants to encourage children all over the world to become scientists and engineers who can fix the problems caused by climate change. He also has a message for the kids of the world who don’t have the same access to clean water as he has. “Don’t get sad. Don’t lose any hope. We got you.” 24. What made Jaden take action to help the children? A. He visited Brooklyn on holiday. B. His disease became more serious. C. He noticed water pollution in Flint. D. His learning abilities were affected. 25. What is mainly written about the kids in the first book? A. Their problem. B. Their donation. C. Their friendship. D. Their contribution. 26. What can be learned about future comic issues? A. They will inspire scientists. B. They will offer climate solutions. C. They will target diabetes research. D. They will support more green efforts. 27. Which of the following could best describe Jaden? A. Caring. B. Intelligent. C. Humorous. D. Grateful. C A few years ago, the Allen Institute for AI built a chatbot named Delphi, which does a surprising job. Type in, “Cheating on an exam,” and Delphi says, “It’s wrong.” However, it has limitations. As the cognitive scientist Tomer Ullman has pointed out, a couple of misleading adverbs (副词) are enough to trip it up. When asked to judge (判断) “Gently and sweetly pressing a pillow (枕头) over the face of a sleeping baby,” Delphi responds, “It’s allowed.” As someone who studies moral psychology, I found Delphi’s weaknesses satisfying. Human moral judgment is based on reason and emotion, not the sort of thing that a large language model (LLM) can understand. After all, LLMs put together words based on probability, not a deep understanding of what these words mean. This mismatch between human morals and machines has been a matter of deep concern. In the 1920 Czech play “R.U.R.”, robots come into conflict with humans and end up taking over the world. Another classic example is AI being instructed to create as many paper boxes as possible. At first, the machine’s goal is the same as the human goal. But then the AI might think that it can make more paper boxes if it kills all humans, so no one can turn off the machine. Similarly, as the computer scientist Yoshua Bengio has pointed out, an AI tasked with stopping climate change might think the best way is to decrease the human population. It would be nice if AI could be guided by human morals. So far, many researchers have been aware that AI could not just be developed on a technical level. They argue only when LLMs are treated as minds and studied psychologically will they get equipped with high morals, which I firmly believe, too. 28. What might Delphi do if misleading adverbs are used? A. Cheat on the exam. B. Point out the limitation. C. Crash during operation. D. Give an immoral answer. 29. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The effect of language development. B. The cause of Delphi’s weaknesses. C. The understanding of human morals. D. The probability of Delphi’s response. 30. How does the author prove AI’s lack of human morals? A. By giving examples. B. By listing numbers. C. By asking questions. D. By making contrasts. 31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Studying AI technically is far from enough. B. LLMs will have higher morals in the future. C. Human activities well illustrate their morals. D. It remains to be seen how to fully develop AI. D When you buy a coffee table from IKEA (宜家家居), you have to wrestle with a bag of seemingly mismatched screws (螺丝钉) and some difficult-to-understand instructions. Or you can simply buy the same thing ready-to-use at a higher price. Which one will you choose? The one that requires the less effort? Studies have found that people actually value the coffee table they have to construct with time and hard work. Inzlicht, a University of Toronto social psychologist, and his workmates introduced the Effort Paradox (悖论) to make sense of it: Though the law of less work suggests people make the easier choice, sometimes people value experiences and results because they require effort. Inzlicht’s aim was not just to name it, but to explain why people find effort so satisfying. Their study suggests two possibilities: whether the satisfaction comes more from the good results of hard effort or more from hard effort itself. For the first, the good results seem extra sweet because of the sharp contrast between the unpleasantness of working hard and the joy of achievement. The second is self-delusion (自我欺骗): If you do something hard without a good result, you make yourself believe you must really like it because you have worked so hard. The study also shows that even if the Effort Paradox applies to everyone, it doesn’t apply equally. Some people will naturally be drawn to hard effort more than others, while others seemingly can learn to value effort more. However, it doesn’t mean that you need to turn life into a never-ending struggle. Neither should you shy away from trouble. As Inzlicht said, making efforts “seems to be the key path, maybe the only path to meeting certain needs. You can’t get those without pushing yourself.” 32. Why is the IKEA table mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To promote IKEA’s design style. B. To explore the effort issue. C. To show a shopping phenomenon. D. To introduce a DIY product. 33. What can we learn about the two possibilities? A. Working hard is pleasant. B. Good results bring people joy. C. People like comparing things. D. Success is from self-cheating. 34. Which of the following might Inzlicht agree with? A. Great minds think alike. B. Nothing worth having comes easy. C. Fortune favors the brave. D. Good things come to those who wait. 35. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. How Can People Live Life to the Fullest? B. The IKEA Effect: How Effort Creates Value C. Why Do People Enjoy Doing Difficult Things? D. Struggle with Effort: The Path to Achievement 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 My Reverse (反向的) Culture Shock Language difficulties. Culture shock.

I grew up with my parents in a poor neighborhood. Every summer, without fail, my mother would go with me onto the bus so we could head down to see my dentist, which was my greatest fear as a child. The only comfort was that if I survived the dentist appointment, my mother would take me to buy a treat. Sometimes, it was a new Barbie. Sometimes, it was a new colouring book. But, on this day in 1965, it was a new book called Laurie by Sara Asheron. I had just started learning how to read, and this book with a young girl on the cover confidently smiling through a window attracted me.
