National Street Food Festival This is the most popular food festival in India. All of the mouthwatering goodness comes together to New Delhi for this festival, where visitors can make a pig of themselves with much-loved street delicacies (美味佳肴) from all over the country. Taking a walk around the city can be just like dining in a five-star restaurant. Goa Food and Cultural Festival The southern state of Goa is famous for its spicy fish, curries, cashew nuts and cold Kingfisher beer. It's easy to add a Goan beach vacation on to a winter foodie tour. The annual food festival has more than 70 stalls (货摊) set up in an open-air market in the capital city, just a half-hour drive from the sunshine state's beautiful coast. The Great Indian Food Festival With more than 75 food stalls from 12 different states, this is perhaps the mother of all food festivals in India in terms of national variety. It takes place in early November, and features not only food from all over India, but various activities such as eating contests (竞赛), cooking shows and cultural performances. International Mango Festival Who doesn't love mangos? In India, more than 500 varieties of its national fruit exist. Mango harvest is celebrated at the annual International Mango Festival every summer. Visitors who come to celebrate this event can expect activities such as mango-eating contests, mango carving and taking a bite of everything with mangos from stalls. 1. What can you do at National Street Food Festival? A. Eat as many mangos as possible. B. Get a feeling of eating in a grand restaurant. C. Walk along the sunshine state’s beautiful coast. D. Enjoy the celebration of good harvest of the year. 2. Which festival is suitable for spicy fish lovers? A. National Street Food Festival. B. Goa Food and Cultural Festival. C.

They hold food eating contests. D. They are held in November 【答案】1. B 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍四个印度的美食节的情况。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据National Street Food Festival标题下“Taking a walk around the city can be just like dining in a five-star restaurant.(在城市里散步就像在五星级餐厅吃饭一样)”可知，在国家街头美食节你能有在大饭店吃饭的感觉。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Goa Food and Cultural Festival标题下“The southern state of Goa is famous for its spicy fish, curries, cashew nuts and cold Kingfisher beer.(印度南部的果阿邦以辛辣的鱼、咖喱、腰果和冰冷的翠鸟啤酒而闻名)”可知，Goa Food and Cultural Festival适合辣鱼爱好者。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Great Indian Food Festival标题下“It takes place in early November, and features not only food from all over India, but various activities such as eating contests (竞赛), cooking shows and cultural performances.(它在11月初举行，不仅有来自印度各地的食物，还有各种各样的活动，如饮食比赛、烹饪表演和文化表演)”以及International Mango Festival标题下“Visitors who come to celebrate this event can expect activities such as mango-eating contests, mango carving and taking a bite of everything with mangos from stalls.(前来庆祝这一节日的游客可以期待各种活动，比如吃芒果比赛、芒果雕刻，以及在摊位上吃任何有芒果的东西)”可知，最后两个节日都举行吃东西比赛。故选C。 B Every Saturday, at a church in Gothenburg, Sweden, hundreds of people of all ages and backgrounds gather. They speak more than 20 languages. As they prepare their instruments, a smiling man walks in. He greets everyone, steps onto the stage, and raises his baton (指挥棒). Music fills the room. This is a music group called the Hope Orchestra, organized by John Smith. Since 2016, his free program has given homeless people from other countries, young people in need, and native Swedes the chance to learn an instrument, connect with others, and enrich their lives. Smith grew up in a poor family in Venezuela. To help his family make ends meet, he started selling ice cream when he was in primary school. Across the street was a program called Music for All, which provides free classical music training to children who have no chance to learn it. At 10, Smith joined the group. “I fell in love with music from my first class,” he said. “For me, playing the violin is like feeling electricity.” He also appreciated the group’s inclusive (包容的) philosophy. “It didn’t matter whether I was the boy selling ice cream in front of the school or the son or daughter of the mayor,” he said. Finally, Smith worked for Music for All to help spread the group’s innovative (创新的) teaching methods worldwide. Even near the Arctic Circle, he started Greenland’s first youth orchestra. It was this work that led him to first visit Sweden in 2015. In Stockholm, he was shocked to see many helpless people arriving in the country. The following year, he moved to Gothenburg where he offered a music group for those people. He started with 13 students. Most of them had no background in music, but he lent them instruments and began teaching them. He named the group the Hope Orchestra to inspire them. “For me, that’s what a music education is about,” said Smith. “It’s about giving you new opportunities to learn about life, about challenges, about dreaming, and about connecting you to your soul.” 4. What can you see in the Hope Orchestra? A. The performers on the stage are all locals. B. Young people are not allowed to take part in it. C. The rising baton marks the start of music. D. The conductor is unwilling to perform. 5. Why did Smith found Hope Orchestra? A. To make more people perform. B. To improve people’s life. C. To enrich the rich’s daily life. D. To help his family earn money. 6. How did Smith feel about the atmosphere of Music for All? A. Equal. B. Demanding. C. Popular. D. Ambitious. 7. What is Smith mainly talking about in the last paragraph? A. Music can contribute to the dreams. B. Music is of great significance. C. Music can make people successful. D. Music can unite you and me. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了John Smith在瑞典哥德堡创办Hope Orchestra故事，该乐团为来自不同背景的人提供免费音乐教育，旨在通过音乐改善人们的生活，并强调音乐教育的重要性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“He greets everyone, steps onto the stage, and raises his baton (指挥棒). Music fills the room. (他向每个人打招呼，走上舞台，举起指挥棒。音乐充满了房间)”可知，在Hope Orchestra中，指挥棒的举起标志着音乐的开始。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Since 2016, his free program has given homeless people from other countries, young people in need, and native Swedes the chance to learn an instrument, connect with others, and enrich their lives. (自2016年以来，他的免费项目为来自其他国家的无家可归者、有需要的年轻人和瑞典本地人提供了学习乐器、与他人交流和丰富生活的机会)”可知，Smith创办Hope Orchestra的目的是为了改善人们的生活。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“He also appreciated the group’s inclusive (包容的) philosophy. “It didn’t matter whether I was the boy selling ice cream in front of the school or the son or daughter of the mayor,” he said. (他也欣赏这个团体的包容理念。“我是在学校门口卖冰淇淋的男孩，还是市长的儿子或女儿，这都不重要，”他说)”可推知，Smith认为Music for All的氛围是平等的。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段““For me, that’s what a music education is about,” said Smith. “It’s about giving you new opportunities to learn about life, about challenges, about dreaming, and about connecting you to your soul.” (“对我来说，这就是音乐教育的意义所在，”Smith说。“它是关于给你新的机会去了解生活，了解挑战，了解梦想，以及将你与你的灵魂联系起来。”)”可知，Smith在最后一段主要谈论的是音乐的重要性。故选B项。 C AI is advanced enough to take over the basic function of driving a vehicle, but driving needs so much more than just piloting a car. Human beings perform a vast variety of tasks in a car. The fact is, human beings won’t completely be out of the driver’s seat anytime soon. We still have the edge over AI because we think like other human beings. We anticipate that other drivers or pedestrians may not always follow the rules of the road, or they may behave in unpredictable ways. We know this not from a driving manual, but from life experience. We subconsciously respond to situations in a very human way. Eventually, learning algorithms (算法) will be developed to imitate some of our gut (本能的) reactions, but this will take time. So far there’s been little effort on the part of either the automobile industry or public safety officials to bring the public up to speed: When people hear the term autonomous car, they are often under the mistaken belief that the role of the human driver has been removed, that he or she is now downgraded to the role of passenger. “The biggest misconception about automation is that the more automation there is, the less human competence is needed. Actually, the more you automate, the more you need to educate: where, when, how, etc.,” observes Bryan Reimer, a research scientist at MIT’s Center for Transportation and Logistics. He has studied driver behavior as it relates to automation and raises an interesting point: as our automobiles assume more and more of the tasks of their operation, there is a risk that human beings will lose some of the real-world driving experiences that make us competent drivers. This is fine as long as the car remains in control. But in a world of semi-autonomous vehicles, the drivers may become less equipped to handle the complicated operation that would stump (难倒) the software. “The way we approach driver training will likely need an upgrade to accommodate to the new world of semi-autonomous cars. It doesn’t look like we’re going to have to shut down our driving schools anytime soon,” Bryan Reimer added. 8. What does the author say about driving? A. Its basic function is still complicated for AI. B. It involves many repetitive and boring tasks. C. It requires more than operating a vehicle. D. It needs the driver’s full attention to the road. 9. What does the underlined word “edge” mean in paragraph 2? A. Profit B. Convenience C. Advantage D. Access 10. What does Bryan Reimer imply about automation? A. It may cause drivers to be less able to handle complex situations. B. It plays an important role in improving traffic safety. C. It reduces the need for drivers’ professional competence. D. It alters the relationship between drivers and passengers. 11. What should people do to adapt to semi-autonomous driving? A. Upgrade automation technologies. B. Change their perception of AI. C. Open more driving schools. D. Update driver training programs. 【答案】8 C 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了人工智能在驾驶方面的应用，以及人类驾驶员与人工智能相比的优势和不足，并指出人们需要更新驾驶培训计划以适应半自动驾驶汽车的时代。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“AI is advanced enough to take over the basic function of driving a vehicle, but driving needs so much more than just piloting a car. Human beings perform a vast variety of tasks in a car. (人工智能已经足够先进，可以接管驾驶车辆的基本功能，但驾驶不仅仅是驾驶汽车。人类在汽车中执行各种各样的任务)”可知，驾驶需要的不仅仅是操作车辆。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“because we think like other human beings. We anticipate that other drivers or pedestrians may not always follow the rules of the road, or they may behave in unpredictable ways. We know this not from a driving manual, but from life experience. We subconsciously respond to situations in a very human way. (因为我们像其他人类一样思考。我们预计其他司机或行人可能并不总是遵守道路规则，或者他们可能会做出不可预测的行为。我们不是从驾驶手册上知道这一点，而是从生活经验中知道的。我们下意识地以一种非常人性化的方式对情况做出反应)”可知，因为我们像其他人类一样思考，能够预测很多意想不到的情况，所以比AI有优势。故划线词意思是“优势”。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“But in a world of semi-autonomous vehicles, the drivers may become less equipped to handle the complicated operation that would stump (难倒) the software.(但在半自动驾驶汽车的世界里，司机可能没有足够的能力来处理那些会让软件感到困惑的复杂操作)”可知，Bryan Reimer暗示自动化可能会导致司机在应对复杂情况时能力下降。故选A。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The way we approach drive r training will likely need an upgrade to accommodate to the new world of semi-autonomous cars.(我们对待司机培训的方式可能需要升级，以适应半自动驾驶汽车的新世界)”可知，人们需要更新驾驶培训计划以适应半自动驾驶汽车的时代。故选D。 D You may not know it, but your brain is already an amazing vocabulary learning machine. When you read or listen to something, your brain doesn’t take each word at face value: it’s continuously taking statistics about which words appear together regularly so that it can expect what’s coming next and process speech faster. Our brains continuously release electrical signals, which change depending on what task your brain is dealing with. Scientists can use a technique to read some of these to study how your brain processes language. One of these signals, called N400, changes depending on whether words make sense in context or not. The N400 is relatively small for expected word combinations, like coffee and cream, and increases in height for unexpected word combinations, like coffee and cap. This means that scientists can read the N400 height to analyze the kind of expectations you have about which words usually appear together. In language learners, the N400 changes based on proficiency （熟练程度）. The better people get at a language, the closer their N400 pattern is to native speaker’s. This means that an important part of language proficiency is taking statistics and building expectations about what words usually appear together, just as native speakers do. To get better at this, we need to flood our brains with loads of natural content, so we can build up a picture of which kinds of words usually appear together. Reading is a great way to do this and there’s lots of research that shows that reading works wonders for your vocabulary skills. However, it is important to remember that if there are too many unknown words, it can be difficult to figure out what they mean from the context. And it is unpleasant having to stop every two miles to look up a word. Graded readers, which are books adapted to make them easier to understand at lower levels, are perfect for learners of foreign languages. 12. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 1? A. To state a fact. B. To offer a suggestion. C. To make a comparison. D. To propose a definition. 13. What does it mean if the N400 increases? A. We make sense of some word combinations in a context. B. We combine some new words to make a sentence. C. We memorize some word combinations to learn a language. D. We meet some word combinations beyond our expectations. 14. How can we have a native speaker-like N400 pattern according to the author? A. By reading some books about vocabulary skills. B. By reading lots of natural content. C. By reading loads of books about nature and drawing pictures. D. By reading authentic content to increase our vocabulary. 15. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. It is more beneficial to read easy books. B. It is important to look up new words. C. We should mainly read adapted books. D. We should choose materials right for our level. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。讲述了我们的大脑是一个词汇学习机器，研究者用N400来研究了大脑是如何处理我们所遇到的单词组合，并且提出学习语言时，应选择适合自己水平的读本。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段首句“You may not know it, but your brain is already an amazing vocabulary learning machine.（你可能不知道，但是你的大脑已经是一个很好的词汇学习机器。）”可知，后文举例说明你的大脑是一个很好的词汇学习机器，故第一段的目的是为了陈述我们的大脑是词汇学习机器的这个事实，故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The N400 is relatively small for expected word combinations, like coffee and cream, and increases in height for unexpected word combinations, like coffee and cap.（对于预料中的单词组合，比如说咖啡和冰淇淋，N400相对来说比较低；但是对于预料之外的单词组合时，比如说咖啡和帽子，N400就会增加。）”可知，如果N400上升的话，那就意味着我们遇到了意料之外的单词组合，故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“To get better at this, we need to flood our brains with loads of natural content, so we can build up a picture of which kinds of words usually appear together.（为了更擅长这点，我们需要让我们大脑充满自然的语言内容，这样的话，我们就能在大脑里建造一幅图片，图片里是哪些单词通常一起出现。）”可知，如果我们想要像本土人一样的N400模式，我们需要读很多的自然语言内容，故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Graded readers, which are books adapted to make them easier to understand at lower levels, are perfect for learners of foreign languages.（分级读本对于外语学习者来说是最好的选择，因为它们是改编读本，主要是为了较低水平的阅读者能更容易理解。）”可知，在选择阅读读本时，我们应该根据自己的水平选择适合的读本，这样的话才有利于学习，故选D。 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。 In the journey of high school, it is easy for teenagers to lose themselves in choosing the future path. So setting personal goals is significant as it provides direction and motivation. ___16___. Do self-assessment as soon as possible Self-assessment is the basis of goal-setting. Students must evaluate their strengths, weaknesses, interests and values. This self-examination helps identify areas that need improvement and those where they can excel. Here is an example. ___17___, setting goals to improve mathematical skills while pursuing literary achievements would be balanced and realistic. Set SMART goals Goals should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). ___18___. Instead, a SMART goal would be “improving the math grade from a C to an A within the next semester.” This specificity guides the student’s efforts and makes progress measurable. Combine short-term and long-term goals For most senior high students, a long-term goal might be getting into an excellent university, while short-term goals could include achieving a certain GPA or completing advanced coursework. Break down larger goals into smaller and manageable tasks. ___19___. So short-term goals act as stepping stones to long-term ambition. ___20___ As students grow and learn more about themselves, their goals may need adjustment. Being open to revising goals ensures they remain consistent with evolving interests and circumstances. For example, a student initially aiming for a career in medicine might discover a passion for environmental science and redirect their academic focus accordingly. A. Be tolerant to different ideas B. Remain adaptable to changes C. A general goal like “getting good grades” lacks clarity D. When compared with the future paths of various majors E. If a student finds mathematics challenging but loves literature F. They keep students focused and feel accomplished along the way G. Here are some steps on how to set effective and meaningful goals 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. C 19. F 20. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了高中生应如何设定自己的学习目标和人生方向。 【16题详解】 根据空前内容“So setting personal goals is significant as it provides direction and motivation.(所以设定个人目标很重要，因为它提供了方向和动力)”可知，高中生设定个人目标非常重要，后续段落从四个角度描述应如何设立目标，故G项“这里有一些关于如何设定有效和有意义的目标的步骤”承上启下，符合语境，故选G。 【17题详解】 根据空前“This self-examination helps identify areas that need improvement and those where they can excel. Here is an example.(这种自我检查有助于确定需要改进的地方和他们可以超越的地方。这里有一个例子)”可知，科学的自我评估是设立目标的基础，空处是具体的例子，空后内容“setting goals to improve mathematical skills while pursuing literary achievements would be balanced and realistic.(在追求文学成就的同时提高数学技能的目标将是平衡的和现实的)”提到提高数学解题技能和语文文学修养是比较平衡和现实的目标，空处是举例情境，且和数学、文学相关，E项“如果一个学生觉得数学很有挑战性，但喜欢文学”符合语境，故选E。 【18题详解】 根据空后“Instead, a SMART goal would be ‘improving the math grade from a C to an A within the next semester.’(相反，明智的目标应该是‘下学期将数学成绩从C提高到A’)”可知，空处和下文内容相反，应是关于不明智的目标，C项“像‘取得好成绩’这样的一般目标缺乏明确性” 符合语境，故选C。 【19题详解】 根据本段小标题“Combine short-term and long-term goals(把短期目标和长期目标结合起来)”可知，本段论点为“将短期目标与长期目标相结合”，空前“Break down larger goals into smaller and manageable tasks.(把大的目标分解成小的、可管理的任务)”提到把大目标细化成小的、可实现的小任务，空处应承接描述小任务如何带来大目标的实现，F项“它们让学生在学习过程中保持专注和成就感”符合语境，故选F。 【20题详解】 空处是段落主旨句，根据本段内容“As students grow and learn more about themselves, their goals may need adjustment. Being open to revising goals…(随着学生的成长和对自己的了解越来越多，他们的目标可能需要调整。对修改目标持开放态度……)”可知，本段是关于适时调整目标，B项“保持对变化的适应性”符合语境，故选B。 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) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A Mother’s Day Surprise The twins, Jenna and Jeff, were excited as Mother’s Day approached.

The excitement was clear as the students worked hard to perfect every scene and every line. The play was a fantasy tale about a magical key that could unlock a hidden world. David, who was in charge of the sound effects, took his job seriously. He loved how each sound brought the story to life, making his classmates’ performances even better. He worked hard during rehearsals (排练), paying close attention to the actors and actresses as they spoke their lines, and he repeated them in his head. He also noted the action cutes (提示) carefully in order to make the right sound effect at the perfect moment. Everything was going smoothly until, just two days before the performance, David came home with bad news. “Grandad, Anthony broke his arm while practicing his bike jump on his way home.” “Oh, I’m sorry to hear that.” “He’ll make a full recovery. But by losing Anthony, we now don’t have a main character, the Key-master. Miss Tompkins says we might have to cancel the play. You know, after all that hard work, rehearsals, artwork, lights...” David and Grandad fell silent, thinking about the situation. After a few minutes, Grandad broke the silence, “I know —” he said. “Each evening that you’ve come back from rehearsals, you always recite the lines. You must know them all by now. Why don’t you play the Key-master?” “Because I can’t do it.” “How do you know unless you try? It doesn’t matter how well you do as everyone will be on your side and cheer you on.” “Yeah. Maybe I should give it a go,” David said. The next day, David told Miss Tompkins about his idea. “Well, David, that’s fantastic!” Miss Tompkins smiled. “And I will take over sound effect responsibilities.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 David practiced hard before the performance. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the close of the performance, Miss Tompkins took the stage to congratulate everyone. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 David practiced hard before the performance. Despite his initial self-doubts, he threw himself into learning the lines and the movements of the Key-master with a fierce determination. He spent hours in front of the mirror, rehearsing his expressions and gestures, making sure they were in sync with the character’s emotions. His classmates noticed the change and gathered around him, offering support and encouragement. They ran through the scenes together, refining the interactions between David and the other characters. The entire class felt a renewed sense of unity and purpose, working tirelessly to ensure the play’s success. At the close of the performance, Miss Tompkins took the stage to congratulate everyone. The audience broke into applause as the curtain fell, and the students cheered with pride at their achievement. David received a special round of applause for his unexpected but outstanding performance as the Key-master. Miss Tompkins praised the hard work and teamwork that had brought the play to life. As the players took their bows, they were excited to know that the experience had not only taught them about drama but also about the power of importance of community spirit. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了小男孩大卫所在班级为参加年终剧表演排练了一部奇幻剧，同学们很兴奋，精心排练，大卫担任音效师工作。可是后来扮演主角“指环王”的同学出事故不能参加演出，节目有可能被取消。大卫和同学们很难过，爷爷知道大卫在做音效师的工作的同时，熟悉每个角色的台词，建议他去扮演指环王。大卫决定试一试，老师很开心，同意了并自己接替音效师工作。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“大卫在演出前努力练习。”可知，第一段可描写大卫在上台演出前的辛苦排练过程和同学们给予支持和鼓励。 ②由第二段首句内容“演出结束时，汤普金斯小姐上台祝贺大家。”可知，第二段可描写演出很成功，观众的反应，汤普金斯小姐的赞扬和演员们的感想。 2.续写线索：大卫在演出前努力练习——大卫专心研究角色——团队排练——相互鼓励——演出成功——观众鼓掌——汤普金斯小姐的赞扬——演员们的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①注意：notice/spot/take notice of ②赞扬：praise/speak highly of ③知道、意识到：know/realize 情绪类 ①自我怀疑：self-doubt/self-suspicion ②兴奋的：excited/thrilled 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

National Street Food Festival This is the most popular food festival in India. All of the mouthwatering goodness comes together to New Delhi for this festival, where visitors can make a pig of themselves with much-loved street delicacies (美味佳肴) from all over the country. Taking a walk around the city can be just like dining in a five-star restaurant. Goa Food and Cultural Festival The southern state of Goa is famous for its spicy fish, curries, cashew nuts and cold Kingfisher beer. It's easy to add a Goan beach vacation on to a winter foodie tour. The annual food festival has more than 70 stalls (货摊) set up in an open-air market in the capital city, just a half-hour drive from the sunshine state's beautiful coast. The Great Indian Food Festival With more than 75 food stalls from 12 different states, this is perhaps the mother of all food festivals in India in terms of national variety. It takes place in early November, and features not only food from all over India, but various activities such as eating contests (竞赛), cooking shows and cultural performances. International Mango Festival Who doesn't love mangos? In India, more than 500 varieties of its national fruit exist. Mango harvest is celebrated at the annual International Mango Festival every summer. Visitors who come to celebrate this event can expect activities such as mango-eating contests, mango carving and taking a bite of everything with mangos from stalls. 1. What can you do at National Street Food Festival? A. Eat as many mangos as possible. B. Get a feeling of eating in a grand restaurant. C. Walk along the sunshine state’s beautiful coast. D. Enjoy the celebration of good harvest of the year. 2. Which festival is suitable for spicy fish lovers? A. National Street Food Festival. B. Goa Food and Cultural Festival. C. The Great Indian Food Festival. D. International Mango Festival 3. What do the last two festivals have in common? A. They provide cooking performances. B. They are famous for various fruits C. They hold food eating contests. D. They are held in November B Every Saturday, at a church in Gothenburg, Sweden, hundreds of people of all ages and backgrounds gather. They speak more than 20 languages. As they prepare their instruments, a smiling man walks in. He greets everyone, steps onto the stage, and raises his baton (指挥棒). Music fills the room. This is a music group called the Hope Orchestra, organized by John Smith. Since 2016, his free program has given homeless people from other countries, young people in need, and native Swedes the chance to learn an instrument, connect with others, and enrich their lives. Smith grew up in a poor family in Venezuela. To help his family make ends meet, he started selling ice cream when he was in primary school. Across the street was a program called Music for All, which provides free classical music training to children who have no chance to learn it. At 10, Smith joined the group. “I fell in love with music from my first class,” he said. “For me, playing the violin is like feeling electricity.” He also appreciated the group’s inclusive (包容的) philosophy. “It didn’t matter whether I was the boy selling ice cream in front of the school or the son or daughter of the mayor,” he said. Finally, Smith worked for Music for All to help spread the group’s innovative (创新的) teaching methods worldwide. Even near the Arctic Circle, he started Greenland’s first youth orchestra. It was this work that led him to first visit Sweden in 2015. In Stockholm, he was shocked to see many helpless people arriving in the country. The following year, he moved to Gothenburg where he offered a music group for those people. He started with 13 students. Most of them had no background in music, but he lent them instruments and began teaching them. He named the group the Hope Orchestra to inspire them. “For me, that’s what a music education is about,” said Smith. “It’s about giving you new opportunities to learn about life, about challenges, about dreaming, and about connecting you to your soul.” 4. What can you see in the Hope Orchestra? A. The performers on the stage are all locals. B. Young people are not allowed to take part in it. C. The rising baton marks the start of music. D. The conductor is unwilling to perform. 5. Why did Smith found Hope Orchestra? A. To make more people perform. B. To improve people’s life. C. To enrich the rich’s daily life. D. To help his family earn money. 6. How did Smith feel about the atmosphere of Music for All? A. Equal. B. Demanding. C. Popular. D. Ambitious. 7. What is Smith mainly talking about in the last paragraph? A. Music can contribute to the dreams. B. Music is of great significance. C. Music can make people successful. D. Music can unite you and me. C AI is advanced enough to take over the basic function of driving a vehicle, but driving needs so much more than just piloting a car. Human beings perform a vast variety of tasks in a car. The fact is, human beings won’t completely be out of the driver’s seat anytime soon. We still have the edge over AI because we think like other human beings. We anticipate that other drivers or pedestrians may not always follow the rules of the road, or they may behave in unpredictable ways. We know this not from a driving manual, but from life experience. We subconsciously respond to situations in a very human way. Eventually, learning algorithms (算法) will be developed to imitate some of our gut (本能的) reactions, but this will take time. So far, there’s been little effort on the part of either the automobile industry or public safety officials to bring the public up to speed: When people hear the term autonomous car, they are often under the mistaken belief that the role of the human driver has been removed, that he or she is now downgraded to the role of passenger. “The biggest misconception about automation is that the more automation there is, the less human competence is needed. Actually, the more you automate, the more you need to educate: where, when, how, etc.,” observes Bryan Reimer, a research scientist at MIT’s Center for Transportation and Logistics. He has studied driver behavior as it relates to automation and raises an interesting point: as our automobiles assume more and more of the tasks of their operation, there is a risk that human beings will lose some of the real-world driving experiences that make us competent drivers. This is fine as long as the car remains in control. But in a world of semi-autonomous vehicles, the drivers may become less equipped to handle the complicated operation that would stump (难倒) the software. “The way we approach driver training will likely need an upgrade to accommodate to the new world of semi-autonomous cars. It doesn’t look like we’re going to have to shut down our driving schools anytime soon,” Bryan Reimer added. 8. What does the author say about driving? A. Its basic function is still complicated for AI. B. It involves many repetitive and boring tasks. C. It requires more than operating a vehicle. D. It needs the driver’s full attention to the road. 9. What does the underlined word “edge” mean in paragraph 2? A. Profit B. Convenience C. Advantage D. Access 10. What does Bryan Reimer imply about automation? A. It may cause drivers to be less able to handle complex situations. B. It plays an important role in improving traffic safety. C. It reduces the need for drivers’ professional competence. D. It alters the relationship between drivers and passengers. 11. What should people do to adapt to semi-autonomous driving? A. Upgrade automation technologies. B. Change their perception of AI. C. Open more driving schools. D. Update driver training programs. D You may not know it, but your brain is already an amazing vocabulary learning machine. When you read or listen to something, your brain doesn’t take each word at face value: it’s continuously taking statistics about which words appear together regularly so that it can expect what’s coming next and process speech faster. Our brains continuously release electrical signals, which change depending on what task your brain is dealing with. Scientists can use a technique to read some of these to study how your brain processes language. One of these signals, called N400, changes depending on whether words make sense in context or not. The N400 is relatively small for expected word combinations, like coffee and cream, and increases in height for unexpected word combinations, like coffee and cap. This means that scientists can read the N400 height to analyze the kind of expectations you have about which words usually appear together. In language learners, the N400 changes based on proficiency （熟练程度）. The better people get at a language, the closer their N400 pattern is to native speaker’s. This means that an important part of language proficiency is taking statistics and building expectations about what words usually appear together, just as native speakers do. To get better at this, we need to flood our brains with loads of natural content, so we can build up a picture of which kinds of words usually appear together. Reading is a great way to do this and there’s lots of research that shows that reading works wonders for your vocabulary skills.

Maybe I should give it a go,” David said. The next day, David told Miss Tompkins about his idea. “Well, David, that’s fantastic!” Miss Tompkins smiled. “And I will take over sound effect responsibilities.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 David practiced hard before the performance. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At the close of the performance, Miss Tompkins took the stage to congratulate everyone. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
