In order to build up his physical strength, Fang began riding his bike 5 km every day, covering more than 600 km in half a year. To overcome his fear at water, he fully immersed (沉浸) himself in it in both a mental and physical way. Due to the weakness in his upper arms, he had to rely on his body and legs to keep him afloat.

In 2020 alone, he helped to upgrade more than 20 facilities (设施) for people with disabilities in various ways in Guangzhou. (现在，他有了信心和能力去帮助他人克服自己的疑虑和恐惧。仅在2020年，他就以多种方式帮助广州的残疾人设施进行了20多次升级)”可知，他还积极帮助推动无障碍环境建设，说明他乐于助人。所以他意志坚强，乐于助人。故选B。 C A recent study has found that food has a lot to do with comfort in a new city. In a new city, there’s an emotional cost to the food. You may miss your favorite restaurant or your family’s home cooking. But, on the other hand, you may love the new eateries you get to discover. People who were satisfied with their cultural neighborhood said they experienced new food more than anything else. In other words, the difference between adapting and not adapting to a cultural neighborhood may just be some new food. Food wasn’t the only thing that influenced comfort in a new place. Knowing a city or a neighborhood well enough to travel without directions also strongly correlated with people’s ability to adjust. Respondents who felt comfortable in their new location took just 2.8 months, on average, to move around without directions, compared with the 3.7 months it took people who didn’t feel comfortable. This difference could represent anything from fewer frustrations to a greater sense of mobility, and even security. There might be a reason why those who moved for work were so likely to be satisfied, and that reason is friendship. Work was the No. I way people made friends in a new city, helping 35.2% of respondents get to know people. Experts will tell you that making friends at work is not only important for your personal happiness but also a key for career success. So, whether you’re moving to a new city or not, be a friendly co-worker. After a person moves to a new place, they may jokingly refer to the many local habits and phrases they’ve picked up, yet moving truly does bring its own host of changes in a person. Most commonly, that change is new interests, which is cited by 30.9% of respondents who have moved. New food preferences are also enjoyed for 27.7% of respondents. Fortunately, only 7.5% pretend to pick up a new accent (口音), which, research shows, is physically impossible after the age of 12. 8. Why is food important upon your arrival in a new city? A. Food reduces your hunger in an unfamiliar city. B. The taste of food helps you make new discoveries. C. Good taste of food makes a neighborhood familiar. D. Food provides emotional comfort and helps reduce homesickness. 9. What can we infer from the second paragraph? A. Knowing a place well helps you feel more comfortable there. B. You can adapt well if you know the traffic situation in a new city. C. You will feel less tired on your travels if you follow the directions. D. A good sense of directions can make you feel less stressed. 10. What is the author’s advice on working in a new city? A. Be satisfied with your new job. B. Make some friends in advance. C. Be a friendly and cooperative co-worker. D. Be an outstanding professional. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards adults’ learning a new accent in a new city? A. Unbelievable. B. Unquestionable. C. Unbearable. D. Understandable. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了如何更好适应一个新城市或新地方的工作和生活。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段关键句“A recent study has found that food has a lot to do with comfort in a new city. In a new city, there’s an emotional cost to the food. You may miss your favorite restaurant or your family’s home cooking. (最近的一项研究发现，食物与新城市的舒适度有很大关系。在一个新城市，食物会带来情感上的慰藉。你可能会想念你最喜欢的餐厅或家人的家常菜。)”可知，在一个新城市，食物会带来情感上的慰藉，你可能会想念你最喜欢的餐厅或家人的家常菜，食物有助于减少思乡之情，由此可知，食物在你抵达一个新城市时很重要，因为食物提供情感上的慰藉，有助于减少思乡之情。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段关键句“Food wasn’t the only thing that influenced comfort in a new place. Knowing a city or a neighborhood well enough to travel without directions also strongly correlated with people’s ability to adjust. (食物并不是影响新地方舒适度的唯一因素。对一个城市或社区足够了解，可以在没有方向的情况下旅行，这也与人们的适应能力密切相关。)”可知，对一个城市或社区足够了解也是影响新地方舒适度的因素，由此可知，从第二段我们可以推断出熟悉一个地方会让你在那里感觉更舒服。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“Experts will tell you that making friends at work is not only important for your personal happiness but also a key for career success. So, whether you’re moving to a new city or not, be a friendly co-worker. (专家会告诉你，在工作中交朋友不仅对你的个人幸福很重要，也是事业成功的关键。所以，无论你是否要搬到一个新城市，都要做一个友好的同事。)”可知，在工作中交朋友是事业成功的关键，如果你搬到一个新城市，要做一个友好的同事，由此可知，作者对在新城市工作的建议是做一个友好合作的同事。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“Fortunately, only 7.5% pretend to pick up a new accent (口音), which, research shows, is physically impossible after the age of 12. (幸运的是，只有7.5%的人假装学会了一种新的口音，研究表明，这在12岁以后是不可能的。)”可知，研究表明，在12岁以后学会一种新的口音是不可能的，由此可知，作者对成年人在新城市学习新口音的态度是难以置信的。故选A项。 D The 2024 Paris Olympic Games used a wide variety of technological advancements, including AI, to offer industry-first innovations at one of the world’s biggest sporting events. Thomas Bach, the president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), emphasized the importance of AI’s role in the Games, as it was used to create “highlight videos in multiple formats and languages during these Games”. AI was also used to make the Olympic Games more sustainable, “through a very developed first-ever data capture and energy management system”. Chinese tech companies employed their cutting-edge cloud computing and AI tools to improve live broadcast experiences and athletes’ performances at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. As part of the opening ceremony, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra smartphone was equipped on each country’s athletes on the Seine River. This allowed for extended onboard footage to be shared via an exclusive 5G network powered by Orange. The IOC released an AI-powered monitoring system to protect athletes from online abuse (辱骂). The technology made use of AI to monitor social media accounts and flag abusive messages for further action by the relevant platforms. Athletes were able to try out an all-new chat service, which had been developed in partnership with Intel, on the Athlete365 platform. AI has been used to monitor energy consumption in real-time. I lario Coma, chief technology officer at the IOC, emphasized the innovative approach they were taking for event planning. “We are now working with our digital partner Intel using the concept of digital twins, or digital representations of venues, so we can foresee, for example, where we would need power, where we would need to place cameras, and if there could be any security issues — all without needing to be on-site every time.” AI technology also impacted internal workflows, systems viewing experiences, and storytelling at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Intel introduced AI experiences that transform the Olympic experience for fans, organizers, CEO athletes, and viewers globally. Yiannis Exarchos, CEO of OBS, highlighted the cooperation with Alibaba to provide multi-camera replay systems with AI-powered motion reconstruction, creating 3D models and mapping additional viewpoints across 21 sports. 12. Why did the author quote Thomas Bach’s remarks in the first paragraph? A. To praise how AI contributed to the Olympics. B. To foresee the sustainability of the Olympic Games. C. To reveal the fields of sports technology can influence. D. To indicate the future events technology has impact on. 13. What was the contribution of Chinese tech companies at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games? A. Protection of athletes from the audience. B. Supply of a better social media platform. C. Extension of the coverage of 5G signals. D. Improving the quality of live broadcasts. 14. What can we infer from the AI’s role in monitoring energy consumption? A.

What can be the best title of the passage? A. Technology Gave Audience a Better Experience B. Technology Shaped the 2024 Paris Olympic Games C. Social Media Protected Athletes from Online Abuse D. Tech Companies Helped Host the Biggest Sporting Events 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了2024年巴黎奥运会利用包括人工智能在内的各种技术，为其提供了行业领先的创新。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“The 2024 Paris Olympic Games used a wide variety of technological advancements, including AI, to offer industry-first innovations at one of the world’s biggest sporting events. (2024年巴黎奥运会利用包括人工智能在内的各种技术进步，为世界上最大的体育赛事之一提供了行业领先的创新。)”以及“Thomas Bach, the president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), emphasized the importance of AI’s role in the Games, as it was used to create “highlight videos in multiple formats and languages during these Games”. (国际奥委会（IOC）主席托马斯·巴赫强调了人工智能在奥运会中的重要性，因为它被用来制作‘奥运会期间多种格式和语言的精彩视频’。)”可知，第一段首先肯定了人工智能为2024年巴黎奥运会提供了行业领先的创新，然后引用托马斯·巴赫的话来肯定这一点，赞扬人工智能对奥运会的贡献。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“Chinese tech companies employed their cutting-edge cloud computing and AI tools to improve live broadcast experiences and athletes’ performances at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

Her artworks, filled with lively colors, caught the beauty of her surroundings. Despite her talent, Mei often struggled with self-doubt. She wondered if her skills were truly excellent or if she was just fortunate. One day, Mei heard about a painting con test in the town called the “Sunlit Art Challenge”. Determined to prove herself and remove the doubts, Mei quickly signed up for it. The contest made her both excited and nervous. Mei spent countless hours perfecting her painting techniques, pouring her heart and soul into her works. For the contest, Mei painted a beautiful sunrise over the sea. The sun just started to rise above the horizon (地平线), its bright light beginning to shine over the ocean. The sun’s rays looked like golden light, spreading across the water and making it shine like a huge mirror. As the sun rose higher, it looked like a bright ball of fire, warming the sea and making the waves shine brightly. The sky changed colors too, from a soft blue to bright oranges, pinks and reds. It was like watching the day begin right there on her canvas (画布). Mei’s painting caught the peaceful yet lively scene of the sun’s first rays touching the vast ocean, symbolizing hope. On the day of the contest, the village square was filled with excitement. Artists from near and far displayed their works. Mei set up her painting, feeling both proud and anxious. As the judges evaluated (评估) Mei’s painting, her heart raced with nervousness. Since their expressions were hard to read, Mei felt like her doubts were right—she wasn’t as good as she hoped. When the host started to announce the winners, Mei listened with hope and curiosity. But sadly her name wasn’t called. Disappointment washed over her, and she forced a smile, clapping for the winners. After the contest, Mei felt disheartened. She thought her painting had failed to impress anyone, and she lost her motivation to lift her brush. At that time, Mr. Zhang, a villager, approached Mei. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Mr. Zhang told Mei that Mei’s painting was excellent and moved him. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Mr. Zhang told Mei that her painting was excellent and moved him.

Up until he met his university professor, Fang Jianze always believed he would never be able to do anything on his own.

C A recent study has found that food has a lot to do with comfort in a new city. In a new city, there’s an emotional cost to the food. You may miss your favorite restaurant or your family’s home cooking. But, on the other hand, you may love the new eateries you get to discover. People who were satisfied with their cultural neighborhood said they experienced new food more than anything else. In other words, the difference between adapting and not adapting to a cultural neighborhood may just be some new food. Food wasn’t the only thing that influenced comfort in a new place. Knowing a city or a neighborhood well enough to travel without directions also strongly correlated with people’s ability to adjust. Respondents who felt comfortable in their new location took just 2.8 months, on average, to move around without directions, compared with the 3.7 months it took people who didn’t feel comfortable. This difference could represent anything from fewer frustrations to a greater sense of mobility, and even security. There might be a reason why those who moved for work were so likely to be satisfied, and that reason is friendship. Work was the No. I way people made friends in a new city, helping 35.2% of respondents get to know people. Experts will tell you that making friends at work is not only important for your personal happiness but also a key for career success. So, whether you’re moving to a new city or not, be a friendly co-worker. After a person moves to a new place, they may jokingly refer to the many local habits and phrases they’ve picked up, yet moving truly does bring its own host of changes in a person. Most commonly, that change is new interests, which is cited by 30.9% of respondents who have moved. New food preferences are also enjoyed for 27.7% of respondents. Fortunately, only 7.5% pretend to pick up a new accent (口音), which, research shows, is physically impossible after the age of 12. 8. Why is food important upon your arrival in a new city? A. Food reduces your hunger in an unfamiliar city. B. The taste of food helps you make new discoveries. C. Good taste of food makes a neighborhood familiar. D. Food provides emotional comfort and helps reduce homesickness. 9. What can we infer from the second paragraph? A. Knowing a place well helps you feel more comfortable there. B. You can adapt well if you know the traffic situation in a new city. C. You will feel less tired on your travels if you follow the directions. D. A good sense of directions can make you feel less stressed. 10. What is the author’s advice on working in a new city? A. Be satisfied with your new job. B. Make some friends in advance. C. Be a friendly and cooperative co-worker. D. Be an outstanding professional. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards adults’ learning a new accent in a new city? A. Unbelievable. B. Unquestionable. C. Unbearable. D. Understandable. D The 2024 Paris Olympic Games used a wide variety of technological advancements, including AI, to offer industry-first innovations at one of the world’s biggest sporting events. Thomas Bach, the president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), emphasized the importance of AI’s role in the Games, as it was used to create “highlight videos in multiple formats and languages during these Games”. AI was also used to make the Olympic Games more sustainable, “through a very developed first-ever data capture and energy management system”. Chinese tech companies employed their cutting-edge cloud computing and AI tools to improve live broadcast experiences and athletes’ performances at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. As part of the opening ceremony, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra smartphone was equipped on each country’s athletes on the Seine River. This allowed for extended onboard footage to be shared via an exclusive 5G network powered by Orange. The IOC released an AI-powered monitoring system to protect athletes from online abuse (辱骂). The technology made use of AI to monitor social media accounts and flag abusive messages for further action by the relevant platforms. Athletes were able to try out an all-new chat service, which had been developed in partnership with Intel, on the Athlete365 platform. AI has been used to monitor energy consumption in real-time. I lario Coma, chief technology officer at the IOC, emphasized the innovative approach they were taking for event planning. “We are now working with our digital partner Intel using the concept of digital twins, or digital representations of venues, so we can foresee, for example, where we would need power, where we would need to place cameras, and if there could be any security issues — all without needing to be on-site every time.” AI technology also impacted internal workflows, systems viewing experiences, and storytelling at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Intel introduced AI experiences that transform the Olympic experience for fans, organizers, CEO athletes, and viewers globally. Yiannis Exarchos, CEO of OBS, highlighted the cooperation with Alibaba to provide multi-camera replay systems with AI-powered motion reconstruction, creating 3D models and mapping additional viewpoints across 21 sports. 12. Why did the author quote Thomas Bach’s remarks in the first paragraph? A. To praise how AI contributed to the Olympics. B. To foresee the sustainability of the Olympic Games. C. To reveal the fields of sports technology can influence. D. To indicate the future events technology has impact on. 13. What was the contribution of Chinese tech companies at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games? A. Protection of athletes from the audience. B. Supply of a better social media platform. C. Extension of the coverage of 5G signals. D. Improving the quality of live broadcasts. 14. What can we infer from the AI’s role in monitoring energy consumption? A. It helped meet potential energy demand. B. It provided a more scientific event planning. C. It scheduled engineers for on-site maintenance. D. It was used to control the power consumption. 15. What can be the best title of the passage? A. Technology Gave Audience a Better Experience B. Technology Shaped the 2024 Paris Olympic Games C. Social Media Protected Athletes from Online Abuse D. Tech Companies Helped Host the Biggest Sporting Events 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。 With busy lives, it can be hard to find time to volunteer. ____16____.

Her artworks, filled with lively colors, caught the beauty of her surroundings. Despite her talent, Mei often struggled with self-doubt. She wondered if her skills were truly excellent or if she was just fortunate. One day, Mei heard about a painting con test in the town called the “Sunlit Art Challenge”. Determined to prove herself and remove the doubts, Mei quickly signed up for it. The contest made her both excited and nervous. Mei spent countless hours perfecting her painting techniques, pouring her heart and soul into her works. For the contest, Mei painted a beautiful sunrise over the sea. The sun just started to rise above the horizon (地平线), its bright light beginning to shine over the ocean. The sun’s rays looked like golden light, spreading across the water and making it shine like a huge mirror. As the sun rose higher, it looked like a bright ball of fire, warming the sea and making the waves shine brightly. The sky changed colors too, from a soft blue to bright oranges, pinks and reds. It was like watching the day begin right there on her canvas (画布). Mei’s painting caught the peaceful yet lively scene of the sun’s first rays touching the vast ocean, symbolizing hope. On the day of the contest, the village square was filled with excitement. Artists from near and far displayed their works. Mei set up her painting, feeling both proud and anxious. As the judges evaluated (评估) Mei’s painting, her heart raced with nervousness. Since their expressions were hard to read, Mei felt like her doubts were right—she wasn’t as good as she hoped. When the host started to announce the winners, Mei listened with hope and curiosity. But sadly her name wasn’t called. Disappointment washed over her, and she forced a smile, clapping for the winners. After the contest, Mei felt disheartened. She thought her painting had failed to impress anyone, and she lost her motivation to lift her brush. At that time, Mr. Zhang, a villager, approached Mei. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Mr. Zhang told Mei that Mei’s painting was excellent and moved him. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
