Tree Planting B At my first lesson in Chinese calligraphy, my teacher told me plainly: “Now I will teach you how to write your name. And to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curious. Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”. When I arrived in America for college at 18 I put on an American accent and abandoned my Chinese name. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought. In calligraphy, the idea is to copy the old masters’ techniques, thereby refining your own. Every week, though, my teacher would give uncomfortably on-the-nose assessments of my person. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke(笔画).” For years, I had prided myself on presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed me. I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must visualize the word as it is to be written and leave a trace of yourself in it. As a bodily practice, calligraphy could go beyond its own cultural restrictions. Could it help me go beyond mine? My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is two-dimensional, it contains multitudes, conveying the force you’ve applied, the energy of your grip, the arch of your spine.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully. During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.” 24. What did the author initially think of her name “Chen Yiwen”? A. It was lucky so she gladly accepted it. B. She felt proud of its symbolic meaning. C. She understood the intention but still disliked it. D. Its strange pronunciation made her embarrassed. 25. The author decided to learn calligraphy to ______. A. pick up a new hobby B. reconnect with her origin C. gain insights into a new culture D. fit in with local community 26. From the teacher’s words, the author learns that calligraphy ______. A reflects the creator’s spirits B. comes from creative energy C highlights the design of strokes D. depends on continuous practice 27. What does the author intend to tell us? A. Appreciate what our culture offers. B. Find beauty from your inner self. C. A great teacher leads you to truth. D. We are the sum of what we create. C Plants do not listen to the radio. But a team of researchers in Greece recently found a way to turn lemons into very small “radio stations” that can broadcast information about their trees’ moisture content to a smartphone—the first step toward creating what the researchers call an “Internet of plants.” Scientists had previously attached sensors to trees to measure their water use, but “no other team had created a wireless radio network among plants, sending information while consuming only a few microwatts and costing just a few dollars,” says project leader Aggelos Bletsas, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at the Technical University of Crete. The network consists of several basic components: an existing FM radio station, an antenna (天线) attached to a lemon growing on a tree, a humidity (湿度) sensor in the lemon, a transistor connected to an antenna and an FM receiver. First, the antenna picks up the signal from the FM station, and then passes the signal to the transistor, which is modulated by the humidity sensor. The sensor switches the transistor on and off at a rate dependent on the plant’s moisture level: if the soil is wet or if the atmosphere is humid, that rate is lower; if it is dry, the rate is higher. Finally, the antenna broadcasts this information to the radio receiver on a mobile phone. In this way, plants can tell farmers if they are thirsty. “We can literally ‘listen’ to the moisture of the plant, using our mobile FM radio with a $3.4 sensor,” Bletsas says. “Two of these sensors for every acre on any given farm might change the way we conduct agriculture and ‘understand’ plants.” He notes that more sensors may be needed for the best possible results. Such real-time information could enable better control of air and soil moisture. Why go through all this trouble and not just use already common wireless technology, such as Bluetooth? “Not only is our technique less complex, as we are just borrowing signals in the environment,” Bletsas says, but “a Bluetooth-based sensor costs about $25. Our final aim is to launch sensors onto the market costing less than $1.” “Bletsas and his team are completely changing the way of environmental sensing using very simple equipment and surprisingly little power,” says Alexandros Dimakis, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, who was not involved in the research. “Their work could be a transformational Internet of Things technology for agriculture and for monitoring the environment.” Bletsas and his colleagues have already applied for a patent for their innovative technology in America. 28. The radio network created by Greek researchers _________. A. consumes much energy B. can be put in a smartphone C uses simple technology at low cost D. broadcasts radio programs to plants 29. What does the underlined word “modulated” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Monitored. B. Adjusted. C. Measured. D. Connected. 30. What is Alexandros Dimakis’ attitude to the “radio network”? A. Positive. B. Critical. C. Neutral. D. Doubtful. 31. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To discuss methods of studying plants. B. To assess the efficiency of Internet of plants. C. To stress the importance of keeping soil’s moisture. D. To introduce a new way of measuring plants’ water use. D “If I only had a little humility, I’d be perfect,” the media giant Ted Turner supposedly said sometime in the1990s. Why be modest? Aristotle said: “All men by nature desire to know.” Intellectual humility is a particular instance of humility, since you can be down-to-earth about most things but still ignore your mental limitations. Intellectual humility means recognising that we don’t know everything. Actually, it means we should acknowledge that we’re probably biased in our belief about just how much we understand and seek out the sources of wisdom that we lack. The Internet and digital media have created the impression of limitless knowledge at our fingertips. But, by making us lazy, they have opened up a space that ignorance can fill. The psychologist Tania Lombrozo of the University of California explained how technology enhances our illusions (错觉) of wisdom. She argues that the way we access information is critical to our understanding—and the more easily we can recall an image, word or statement, the more likely we’ll think we’ve successfully learned it, and so withdraw from effortful cognitive processing. Logical puzzles presented in an unfriendly font (字体), for example, can encourage someone to make extra effort to solve them. Yet this approach runs counter to the nice designs of the apps and sites that populate our screens, where our brain processes information in a “smooth” way. What about all the information that presents online? Well, your capacity to learn from it depends on your attitudes. Intellectually humble people don’t hide or ignore their weaknesses. In fact, they see them as sources of personal development, and use arguments as an opportunity to refine their views. People who are humble by nature tend to be more open-minded and quicker to resolve disputes, since they recognise that their own opinions might not be valid. At the other end of the scale lies intellectual arrogance. Such arrogance almost always originates from the egocentric bias—the tendency to overestimate their own virtue or importance, ignoring the role of chance or the influence of other people’s actions on their lives. This is what makes these people credit success to themselves and failure to circumstance. From an evolutionary perspective, intellectual arrogance can also be seen as a way of achieving dominance through forcing one’s view on others. Intellectually arrogant people hardly invest mental resources in discussion or working towards group consensus, thus making it hard for groups to work successfully. The Thrive Center for Human Development in California, which seeks to help young people turn into successful adults, is funding a series of major studies about intellectual humility. Their hypothesis is that humility, curiosity and openness are key to a fulfilling life. “Without humility, you are unable to learn,” Laszlo Bock, Google’s Head of People Operations, notes. 32. The passage is mainly about ___________. A. the harm arrogance does to us B. the key elements to a fulfilling life C. the significance of intellectual humility D. the way people access information online 33. Technology enhances our illusions of wisdom because it ___________. A. enables people to think critically B. offers too much unreliable information C. allows easy access to abundant information D. makes it hard for people to recall information 34. According to Para.4, intellectually humble people ___________. A. prefer to solve difficult problems B. are unwilling to show their strengths C. value others’ opinions more than their own D. use online information to better themselves 35. The author will probably agree that ___________. A. intellectual arrogance is the result of evolution B. intellectually arrogant people often lack team spirits C. successful people are often unaware of their limitations D. circumstances don’t favor intellectually arrogant people 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10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。 I work at a community library. Many people are under the assumption that public libraries are no longer needed because of the Internet. Nothing could be further from the truth. ___36___ A simple Internet search for “cats” produces approximately 2. 98 billion results in less than one second. It is a huge number! How do you even begin to sort through all of those results? We hear so much about “false news”. ___37___ Librarians are there to help. They have been trained, through special classes and workshops, to sort through all of the results and find credible sources. Author Neil Gaiman said, “Google can bring you back 100, 000 answers. A librarian can bring you back the right one.” ___38___ It helps connect people with the resources they need to find a job, continue their education, and learn new skills. It helps seniors find the resources they need to keep up with the “modern” world. It helps new parents develop a love for literacy in their children and bond with them. It helps local artists and craftsmen display their work. It helps students find the answers to those seemingly impossible homework questions. It allows people to meet and exchange ideas. Libraries are so much more than books and information. Yes, there are public computers, Internet access, movies, music, programs and a thousand other things. ___39___ They are places where people feel safe and welcomed. They are places where someone who has limited resources can freely access materials and equipment they wouldn’t otherwise be able to. They can, at times, be a harbor for someone who needs a quiet place to work or study. Some of the best memories of my childhood involve going to the local library and in speaking with many others in the neighborhood, they too have those same memories. They are presently making those same memories with their children and their grandchildren. ___40___ I don’t see the Internet doing that. A. We don’t know what sources to trust. B. The public library helps people better their lives. C. The importance of library staff comes to the surface. D. However, libraries’ meaning and relevance goes even beyond that. E. The public library brings people together to build a strong community. F. In fact, it is because of the Internet that public libraries are needed now more than ever. G. Every day children, students and adults use libraries to learn, grow and achieve their dreams. 第Ⅱ卷 第一节 阅读表达(共4小题;共12分。第1、2小题各2分，第3小题3分，第4小题5分。) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 Why are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation in your body. Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes (酶) that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both instances, the result is obesity. When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat. Improperly digested food moves slowly through the digestive tract, where it becomes increasingly acidic. To protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs. Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat, as a result, people often overeat. Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify these foods as allergic and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the body’s cells. The body’s metabolism (新陈代谢) becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity. The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion increasingly inefficient. When that happens, even healthy foods can become acidic and the food allergies will become more common. To stop this vicious circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize the acid already accumulated in body. Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help. It’s also important to restore your enzyme balance. You need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production. If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself, you need to take an active approach. 41. What’s the function of the natural enzymes? _____________________________________________________________ 42. How does the body protect its vital organs from acidic waste? _____________________________________________________________ 43. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Eating the right types of processed foods can help neutralize the acid accumulated in body. _____________________________________________________________ 44. In your daily life, what active approaches can you take in choosing food if you truly want to stay healthy?

And to make it beautiful.” I felt my breath catch. I was curious. Growing up in Singapore, I had an unusual relationship with my Chinese name. My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”. When I arrived in America for college at 18, I put on an American accent and abandoned my Chinese name. When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought. In calligraphy, the idea is to copy the old masters’ techniques, thereby refining your own. Every week, though, my teacher would give uncomfortably on-the-nose assessments of my person. “You need to be braver,” he once observed. “Have confidence. Try to produce a bold stroke(笔画).” For years, I had prided myself on presenting an image of confidence, but my writing betrayed me. I was trying to make sense of this practice. You must visualize the word as it is to be written and leave a trace of yourself in it. As a bodily practice, calligraphy could go beyond its own cultural restrictions. Could it help me go beyond mine? My teacher once said to me, “When you look at the word, you see the body. Though a word on the page is two-dimensional, it contains multitudes, conveying the force you’ve applied, the energy of your grip, the arch of your spine.” I had been learning calligraphy to get in touch with my cultural roots, but what I was really seeking was a return to myself. Now I have sensed that the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully. During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.” 24. What did the author initially think of her name “Chen Yiwen”? A. It was lucky so she gladly accepted it. B. She felt proud of its symbolic meaning. C. She understood the intention but still disliked it. D. Its strange pronunciation made her embarrassed. 25. The author decided to learn calligraphy to ______. A. pick up a new hobby B. reconnect with her origin C. gain insights into a new culture D. fit in with local community 26. From the teacher’s words, the author learns that calligraphy ______. A. reflects the creator’s spirits B. comes from creative energy C. highlights the design of strokes D. depends on continuous practice 27. What does the author intend to tell us? A. Appreciate what our culture offers. B. Find beauty from your inner self. C. A great teacher leads you to truth. D. We are the sum of what we create. 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。这篇文章主要讲述了作者学习中国书法的经历和感悟，包括初次接触书法时的情景，名字的由来，在美国放弃中文名，回到香港学习书法的原因，老师对自己的评价，以及通过书法对自身的思考和认识等。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“My parents are ethnically Chinese, so they asked fortune tellers to decide my name, aiming for maximum luck. As a result, I ended up with a nonsense and embarrassing name: Chen Yiwen, meaning, roughly, “old”, “barley (薏米)” and “warm”.( 我的父母是华裔，所以他们请算命先生给我取名字，希望能给我带来最大的好运。于是，我给自己取了一个毫无意义又尴尬的名字：陈薏温，意思大致是“陈旧”、“薏米”、“温暖”)”可知， 作者认为自己的名字“Chen Yi wen”是无意义且令人尴尬的，虽然父母是为了追求最大的运气才取这个名字，但她还是不喜欢。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When I moved to Hong Kong in 2021, after 14 years in the States, I decided to learn calligraphy. Why not get back in touch with my heritage? I thought.(当我在美国生活了14年后，于2021年搬到香港时，我决定学习书法。为什么不跟我的传统联系一下呢？我想)”可知，作者决定学习书法是为了重新接触自己的文化根源。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.”(在最近的一次课上，老师指着我刚完成的字对我说：“这个字好多了。我能看到你所做的选择，你的计算，你的心流。相信自己。这个词是你的。”他还不如说：“这个字就是你。”)”可推知，从老师的话中，作者了解到书法反映了创作者的精神。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，特别是根据最后一段“During a recent lesson, my teacher pointed at the word I had just finished, telling me: “This word is much better. I can see the choices you made, your calculations, your flow. Trust yourself. This word is yours.” He might as well have said, “This word is you.”(在最近的一次课上，老师指着我刚完成的字对我说：“这个字好多了。我能看到你所做的选择，你的计算，你的心流。相信自己。这个词是你的。”他还不如说：“这个字就是你。”)”可知，作者最初学习书法是为了 “接触文化遗产（get back in touch with my heritage）”，但过程中逐渐意识到 “what I was really seeking was a return to myself（我真正寻求的是回归自我）”，最终感悟到 “the pleasure out of calligraphy allows me to know myself more fully（书法带来的乐趣让我更全面地了解自己）”。老师最后评价她的字 “this word is yours（这个字是你的）”，暗指 “字如其人”，作者通过书法探索自我、发现内在的价值与美好。故选B。 C Plants do not listen to the radio. But a team of researchers in Greece recently found a way to turn lemons into very small “radio stations” that can broadcast information about their trees’ moisture content to a smartphone—the first step toward creating what the researchers call an “Internet of plants.” Scientists had previously attached sensors to trees to measure their water use, but “no other team had created a wireless radio network among plants, sending information while consuming only a few microwatts and costing just a few dollars,” says project leader Aggelos Bletsas, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at the Technical University of Crete. The network consists of several basic components: an existing FM radio station, an antenna (天线) attached to a lemon growing on a tree, a humidity (湿度) sensor in the lemon, a transistor connected to an antenna and an FM receiver. First, the antenna picks up the signal from the FM station, and then passes the signal to the transistor, which is modulated by the humidity sensor. The sensor switches the transistor on and off at a rate dependent on the plant’s moisture level: if the soil is wet or if the atmosphere is humid, that rate is lower; if it is dry, the rate is higher. Finally, the antenna broadcasts this information to the radio receiver on a mobile phone. In this way, plants can tell farmers if they are thirsty. “We can literally ‘listen’ to the moisture of the plant, using our mobile FM radio with a $3.4 sensor,” Bletsas says. “Two of these sensors for every acre on any given farm might change the way we conduct agriculture and ‘understand’ plants.” He notes that more sensors may be needed for the best possible results. Such real-time information could enable better control of air and soil moisture. Why go through all this trouble and not just use already common wireless technology, such as Bluetooth? “Not only is our technique less complex, as we are just borrowing signals in the environment,” Bletsas says, but “a Bluetooth-based sensor costs about $25. Our final aim is to launch sensors onto the market costing less than $1.” “Bletsas and his team are completely changing the way of environmental sensing using very simple equipment and surprisingly little power,” says Alexandros Dimakis, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, who was not involved in the research. “Their work could be a transformational Internet of Things technology for agriculture and for monitoring the environment.” Bletsas and his colleagues have already applied for a patent for their innovative technology in America. 28. The radio network created by Greek researchers _________. A. consumes much energy B. can be put in a smartphone C. uses simple technology at low cost D. broadcasts radio programs to plants 29. What does the underlined word “modulated” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Monitored. B. Adjusted. C. Measured. D. Connected. 30. What is Alexandros Dimakis’ attitude to the “radio network”? A. Positive. B. Critical. C. Neutral. D. Doubtful. 31. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To discuss methods of studying plants. B. To assess the efficiency of Internet of plants. C. To stress the importance of keeping soil’s moisture. D. To introduce a new way of measuring plants’ water use. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31.

Our final aim is to launch sensors onto the market costing less than $1.”，我们的技术不仅不太复杂，因为我们只是在环境中借用信号，而且"基于蓝牙的传感器的成本约为 25 美元。我们的最终目标是将售价低于 1 美元的传感器投放到市场上。所以这项发明是技术简单，成本低，选项C切题，故选C。 【29题详解】 词义猜测题。画线词在非限性定语从句中作谓语，它的主语是transistor：晶体管收音机，也就是这个动词是对晶体管收音机操作的意思，整句话是：晶体管收音机由湿度传感器来modulated。选项B：调节，调整，切题，故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。倒数第二段：““Bletsas and his team are completely changing the way of environmental sensing using very simple equipment and surprisingly little power,” says Alexandros Dimakis, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, who was not involved in the research. “Their work could be a transformational Internet of Things technology for agriculture and for monitoring the environment.””，Alexandros Dimakis虽然没有参与这一发明，但他的评价是：这一发明使用非常简单的设备和小功率来彻底改变环境传感方式，他们是农业和监测环境的物联网技术。可以看出他对这一发明是持支持和赞扬的态度的，选项A是赞同的; 拥护的，切题，故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。文章一开始：“a team of researchers in Greece recently found a way to turn lemons into very small “radio stations” that can broadcast information about their trees’ moisture content to a smartphone……”，就点明了本篇文章的主旨，介绍一项发明：将柠檬变成非常小的"电台"，它可以向智能手机播报有关树木水分含量的信息，选项D：介绍一种测量植物用水的新方法。切题，故选D。 D “If I only had a little humility, I’d be perfect,” the media giant Ted Turner supposedly said sometime in the1990s. Why be modest? Aristotle said: “All men by nature desire to know.” Intellectual humility is a particular instance of humility, since you can be down-to-earth about most things but still ignore your mental limitations. Intellectual humility means recognising that we don’t know everything. Actually, it means we should acknowledge that we’re probably biased in our belief about just how much we understand and seek out the sources of wisdom that we lack. The Internet and digital media have created the impression of limitless knowledge at our fingertips. But, by making us lazy, they have opened up a space that ignorance can fill. The psychologist Tania Lombrozo of the University of California explained how technology enhances our illusions (错觉) of wisdom. She argues that the way we access information is critical to our understanding—and the more easily we can recall an image, word or statement, the more likely we’ll think we’ve successfully learned it, and so withdraw from effortful cognitive processing. Logical puzzles presented in an unfriendly font (字体), for example, can encourage someone to make extra effort to solve them. Yet this approach runs counter to the nice designs of the apps and sites that populate our screens, where our brain processes information in a “smooth” way. What about all the information that presents online? Well, your capacity to learn from it depends on your attitudes. Intellectually humble people don’t hide or ignore their weaknesses. In fact, they see them as sources of personal development, and use arguments as an opportunity to refine their views. People who are humble by nature tend to be more open-minded and quicker to resolve disputes, since they recognise that their own opinions might not be valid. At the other end of the scale lies intellectual arrogance. Such arrogance almost always originates from the egocentric bias—the tendency to overestimate their own virtue or importance, ignoring the role of chance or the influence of other people’s actions on their lives. This is what makes these people credit success to themselves and failure to circumstance. From an evolutionary perspective, intellectual arrogance can also be seen as a way of achieving dominance through forcing one’s view on others. Intellectually arrogant people hardly invest mental resources in discussion or working towards group consensus, thus making it hard for groups to work successfully. The Thrive Center for Human Development in California, which seeks to help young people turn into successful adults, is funding a series of major studies about intellectual humility. Their hypothesis is that humility, curiosity and openness are key to a fulfilling life. “Without humility, you are unable to learn,” Laszlo Bock, Google’s Head of People Operations, notes. 32. The passage is mainly about ___________. A. the harm arrogance does to us B. the key elements to a fulfilling life C. the significance of intellectual humility D. the way people access information online 33. Technology enhances our illusions of wisdom because it ___________. A. enables people to think critically B. offers too much unreliable information C. allows easy access to abundant information D. makes it hard for people to recall information 34. According to Para.4, intellectually humble people ___________. A. prefer to solve difficult problems B. are unwilling to show their strengths C. value others’ opinions more than their own D. use online information to better themselves 35. The author will probably agree that ___________. A. intellectual arrogance is the result of evolution B. intellectually arrogant people often lack team spirits C. successful people are often unaware of their limitations D. circumstances don’t favor intellectually arrogant people 【答案】32. C 33. C 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了理智谦逊的重要性。理智谦逊的人不会隐藏或忽视自己的弱点，他们把这视为个人发展的源泉，并把争论当作完善自己观点的机会。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Intellectual humility is a particular instance of humility, since you can be down-to-earth about most things but still ignore your mental limitations.(理智上的谦逊是谦逊的一个特殊例子，因为你可以在大多数事情上脚踏实地，但仍然忽略你的精神局限。)”及全文可知，文章主要讲述了理解的谦逊的重要性。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The Internet and digital media have created the impression of limitless knowledge at our fingertips. (互联网和数字媒体创造了无限知识在我们指尖的印象。)”和“She argues that the way we access information is critical to our understanding—and the more easily we can recall an image, word or statement, the more likely we’ll think we’ve successfully learned it, and so withdraw from effortful cognitive processing.(她认为，我们获取信息的方式对我们的理解至关重要——我们越容易回忆起一个图像、单词或陈述，我们就越有可能认为我们已经成功地学会了它，从而退出了费力的认知过程。)”可知，技术增强了我们对智慧的幻想，因为它使我们能够容易地获得丰富的信息。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Intellectually humble people don’t hide or ignore their weaknesses. In fact, they see them as sources of personal development, and use arguments as an opportunity to refine their views.(理智上谦虚的人不会隐藏或忽视自己的弱点。事实上，他们将辩论视为个人发展的源泉，并利用辩论来完善自己的观点。)”可知，他们把网上的信息视为个人发展的源泉，是完善自我的机会。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Intellectually arrogant people hardly invest mental resources in discussion or working towards group consensus, thus making it hard for groups to work successfully. (理智傲慢的人很少投入精力讨论或努力达成群体共识，从而使群体难以成功运作。)”可知，自大的智者缺乏合作精神。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，共10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。 I work at a community library. Many people are under the assumption that public libraries are no longer needed because of the Internet.

Libraries are so much more than books and information. Yes, there are public computers, Internet access, movies, music, programs and a thousand other things. ___39___ They are places where people feel safe and welcomed. They are places where someone who has limited resources can freely access materials and equipment they wouldn’t otherwise be able to. They can, at times, be a harbor for someone who needs a quiet place to work or study. Some of the best memories of my childhood involve going to the local library and in speaking with many others in the neighborhood, they too have those same memories. They are presently making those same memories with their children and their grandchildren. ___40___ I don’t see the Internet doing that. A. We don’t know what sources to trust. B. The public library helps people better their lives. C. The importance of library staff comes to the surface. D. However, libraries’ meaning and relevance goes even beyond that. E.

They are presently making those same memories with their children and their grandchildren.我童年时期的一些最好的回忆涉及的是去公共图书馆，并且跟附近的许多人闲谈，那些人也有（跟我一样的）回忆。他们现在也在跟他们的后代创造类似的回忆。可知，公共图书馆连接了人与人之间的关系。故选E项。 第Ⅱ卷 第一节 阅读表达(共4小题;共12分。第1、2小题各2分，第3小题3分，第4小题5分。) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 Why are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation in your body. Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes (酶) that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes, our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both instances, the result is obesity. When too many nutrients are absorbed at once, the body grows fat. Improperly digested food moves slowly through the digestive tract, where it becomes increasingly acidic. To protect its vital organs from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs. Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat, as a result, people often overeat. Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify these foods as allergic and then store them safely away from the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the body’s cells. The body’s metabolism (新陈代谢) becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesity. The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestion increasingly inefficient. When that happens, even healthy foods can become acidic and the food allergies will become more common. To stop this vicious circle in its tracks, people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize the acid already accumulated in body. Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help. It’s also important to restore your enzyme balance. You need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production. If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself, you need to take an active approach. 41. What’s the function of the natural enzymes? _____________________________________________________________ 42. How does the body protect its vital organs from acidic waste? _____________________________________________________________ 43. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Eating the right types of processed foods can help neutralize the acid accumulated in body. _____________________________________________________________ 44. In your daily life, what active approaches can you take in choosing food if you truly want to stay healthy? (In about 40 words) _____________________________________________________________ 【答案】41. To help digest the food. 42. The body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs. 43.

I will choose more raw and whole foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid processed foods with chemicals to keep my body healthy.

(为了保护重要器官免受这种酸性废物的侵害，身体将酸转化为脂肪，并将其安全地储存在远离器官的地方。)” 可知，身体通过将酸转化为脂肪并将其储存在远离器官的地方来保护重要器官免受酸性废物的侵害。故填The body changes the acid into fat and stores it safely away from the organs. 【43题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第五段 “Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help. (食用合适种类的生食和天然食物会有帮助。)” 可知，能够帮助中和体内积累的酸的是合适种类的生食和天然食物，而不是加工食品。所以错误部分为 “Eating the right types of processed foods can help neutralize the acid accumulated in body.”，理由为 According to the passage, eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help neutralize the acid accumulated in body. 【44题详解】 开放性题。可以表述为“I will choose more raw and whole foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid processed foods with chemicals to keep my body healthy.Reduce the intake of processed foods high in salt, sugar and fat, such as potato chips, biscuits. (我会选择更多像新鲜水果和蔬菜这样的生食及天然食物，避免食用含化学物质的加工食品，以保持身体健康。减少高盐、高糖、高脂肪加工食品的摄入，比如薯片、饼干)”。故填I will choose more raw and whole foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid processed foods with chemicals to keep my body healthy. Reduce the intake of processed foods high in salt, sugar and fat, such as potato chips, biscuits. 第二节 语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分，共15分) A 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词空白处仅填写1个适当的单词;在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。 Agriculture is crucial for sustaining life. The crops that farmers cultivate ___45___ care form the basis of our food supply. The reason why sustainable practices are important is ___46___ they help preserve the land for future generations.

The produce then ___47___ (transport) worldwide. Despite challenges such as unpredictable weather, farmers remain dedicated. Their efforts ensure we have a variety of nutritious foods. 【答案】45. with 46. that 47. is transported 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了农业对维持生命至关重要，农民精心种植作物，可持续做法和新技术助力农业，尽管有挑战，农民的努力保障了我们的营养食物。 【45题详解】 考查固定短语。句意：农民精心种植的作物构成了我们食物供应的基础。“with care”是固定短语，意思是“小心地，谨慎地”，在句中作状语修饰动词“cultivate”，表示农民精心耕种作物。故填with。 【46题详解】 考查表语从句。句意：可持续实践之所以重要，是因为它们有助于为子孙后代保护土地。设空处引导表语从句，从句“they help preserve the land for future generations” 句意完整、成分齐全，用从属连词that引导表语从句。故填that。 【47题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：然后，这些农产品被运往世界各地。句子的主语 “the produce”（农产品）是不可数名词，与“transport”（运输）之间是被动关系，即农产品被运输到世界各地，且这里描述的是一般情况，所以用一般现在时的被动语态 “is +过去分词”，“transport” 的过去分词是“transported”。故填is transported。 B 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词;在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。 In the future, smart homes will transform our lives.

The ____50____ (convenient) and efficiency that smart homes offer will make life more comfortable, though privacy concerns must be addressed. 【答案】48. equipped 49. where 50. convenience 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了未来智能家居将如何改变我们的生活，包括自动化的灯光和温度调节、增强的安全系统等方面，同时也指出了需要解决的隐私问题。 【48题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：配备先进技术的房屋将满足我们的需求。句子谓语为will meet，所以设空处为非谓语动词；逻辑主语Houses与equip之间是被动关系，需用过去分词作后置定语。故填equipped。 【49题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：想象一下你进入一个房间，在那里灯会自动打开，温度会调整到你喜欢的设置。该空引导限制性定语从句，先行词room指代地点，关系词替代先行词在从句中作地点状语，所以要用关系副词where引导。故填where。 【50题详解】 考查名词。句意：智能家居提供的便利和效率将使生活更舒适，尽管隐私问题必须得到解决。根据并列连词and可知，空处与名词efficiency并列，需填名词convenience，一起作主语。故填convenience。 C 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词;在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。 Helen Keller was deaf and blind from a young age, and she ___51___ (learn) to communicate through touch.

The legacy she left continues ____54____ (inspire) generations. 【答案】51. learned##learnt 52. giving 53. because##as##since 54. to inspire 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要介绍了海伦·凯勒的生平事迹。 【51题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：海伦·凯勒从小就失聪失明，她学会了通过触觉进行交流。根据前文“was deaf and blind from a young age”可知，此处描述的是过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时，learn的过去式为learned或learnt。故填learned/learnt。 【52题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：海伦决心分享自己的经历，她周游世界，发表演讲，以提高人们对他们的能力和需求的认识。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语动词“traveled”，give需用非谓语形式。give与逻辑主语“Helen”之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词giving作伴随状语，表示与“traveled the world”同时发生的动作，即海伦在周游世界的同时发表演讲。故填giving。 【53题详解】 考查连词。句意：她的故事很有力量，因为它展现了人类精神的力量。根据语境，“it shows the strength of the human spirit（它展现了人类精神的力量）”是对“Her story is powerful（她的故事很有力量）”的原因解释，所以用连词because/as/since引导原因状语从句。故填because/as/since。 【54题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：她留下的遗产继续激励着一代又一代的人。continue to do sth.为固定搭配，意为“继续做某事”，所以此处用动词不定式to inspire作宾语。故填to inspire。 第三节 翻译(共13小题，共13分) 题根据已给出的内容和括号里的提示，补全句子。注意：每空一词，语法正确，语意通顺。 55.
