B Omar Vazquez grew up in poverty on Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula. He watched his single mother struggle to put food on the table, and today the memory inspires him to help those in need. When an invasive seaweed called sargassum (马尾藻) showed up on Mexico’s Caribbean beaches, Omar looked past the matter of it all and saw an opportunity to help others. Sargassum is not dangerous, but it has an unpleasant smell and can become so thick that it keeps people from entering the water. Mexico has experienced record-setting amounts of the seaweed in recent years, and it has made its way to Florida’s beaches as well. Experts say there could be as much as 100 tons of sargassum blocking Mexican shorelines in 2023. With tourism dollars at risk, officials and locals alike were eager to remove the seaweed, but only Omar saw its true potential. The professional gardener organized a beach cleanup that provided jobs for about 300 local families, but he knew there was more to do. Since people’s attitude towards the seaweed reminded him of his own life experiences, he decided to become an agent (推动者) for change. When sargassum started arriving, everyone was complaining. “I wanted to make something good out of something everyone saw as bad,” Omar explained. In 2018, Omar found a way to turn sargassum into building blocks that he calls Sargablock. He creates these blocks by mixing 40% of sargassum with other materials like clay, then putting them in a block-forming machine and baking them in the sun for days. The end result is an organic, sustainable, and ecologically friendly building material that experts say could last for 120 years. To date, Omar’s company, Bluegreen Mexico, has used 700 tons of sargassum to build low-income housing for those in need. Omar said he would take on more projects, and donate more houses to single mothers like his own mom. 4. What can be learned from paragraph 1? A. Omar’s family often assisted people in need. B. Sargassum originated on the Caribbean beaches. C. Omar has met a lot of generous people since he was young. D. Omar’s experience in childhood has influenced him much. 5. How did most people react to the increasing sargassum? A. They didn’t take it seriously. B. They viewed it as new materials. C. They were anxious to clear it up. D. They were excited to see a grand scene. 6. Which words can best describe Omar? A. Honest and ambitious. B. Sympathetic and innovative. C. Quick-thinking and humorous. D. Strong-willed and confident. 7. What does the author mainly want to tell us through Omar’s success? A. Solutions can be obtained from problems. B. Love shines every dark corner. C. It’s never too old to learn. D. Heroes arise from humble beginnings. C The maker of ChatGPT recently announced its next move into generative artificial intelligence. San Francisco-based OpenAI’s new text-to-video generator, called Sora, is a tool that instantly makes short videos based on written commands, called prompts. Sora is not the first of its kind. Google, Meta and Runway ML are among the other companies to have developed similar technology. But the high quality of videos displayed by OpenAI — some released after CEO Sam Altman asked social media users to send in ideas for written prompts — surprised observers. A photographer from New Hampshire posted one suggestion, or prompt, on Facebook. The prompt gave details about a kind of food to be cooked, gnocchi (意大利团子), as well as the setting — an old Italian country kitchen. The prompt said, “An instructional cooking session for homemade gnocchi, hosted by a grandmother — a social media influencer, set in a rustic (土气的) Tuscan country kitchen.” Altman answered a short time later with a realistic video that showed what the prompt described. The tool is not yet publicly available. OpenAI has given limited information about how it was built. The company also has not stated what imagery and video sources were used to train Sora. At the same time, the video results led to fears about the possible ethical and societal effects. The New York Times and some writers have taken legal actions against OpenAI for its use of copyrighted works of writing to train ChatGPT. And OpenAI pays a fee to The Associated Press, the source of this report, to license its text news archive (档案). OpenAI said in a blog post that it is communicating with artists, policymakers and others before releasing the new tool to the public. The company added that it is working with “red teamers” — people who try to find problems and give helpful suggestions — to develop Sora. “We are working with red teamers — experts in areas like misinformation, hateful content, and bias — who will be testing the model from different aspects,” the company said. “We’re also building tools to help detect misleading content such as a detection classifier that can tell when a video was generated by Sora.” 8. What makes Sora impressive? A. Its wonderful video quality.     B. Its ethical and societal influence. C. Its artificial intelligence history.     D. Its written commands and prompts. 9. What can we infer from the text? A. Altman wrote a prompt as an example. B. Some disagreements over Sora have arisen. C. Sora is the first text-to-video generator in history. D. All the details about how Sora was built have been shared. 10. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The company’s current challenge. B. The company’s advanced technology. C. The company’s problems in management. D. The company’s efforts for Sora’s improvement. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards Sora? A. Neutral.     B. Optimistic.     C. Pessimistic.     D. Dismissive. D First-year college students often are expected or required to live in dormitories. In the rest years, it’s usually up to those students to decide whether to live on or off campus. But some schools don’t provide an option and require four years of on-campus living for full-time students. Living on campus has been shown to increase retention and attendance rates among freshman and second-year students, according to a 2021 report. There are exceptions, however. At some colleges, students may be freed from the requirement if they are, for instance, commuters (通勤生), fifth-year seniors, at least 23 years of age or legally married. Residential housing at colleges is not limited to shared rooms and bathrooms. Alternatives include flats, apartments, Greek houses or living-learning communities for students with shared interests. On-campus students also have access to services and resources such as residence life staff who can help if a housing issue arises. When students live in a community, they are forced to live with different people, learn more about themselves and about the others, and tell each other their stories. On the other hand, off-campus living provides students with more independence, as they are not constrained by school housing policies. Off-campus students gain more real-world experience in areas like paying their own bills, finding renter’s insurance, cooking their own meals and negotiating or reviewing contracts. If students are choosing to live off campus, they should really think it through and talk to someone that lived off campus. Do their homework and look at all the costs before they make that decision. Make sure, too, that they are choosing people that they can live with. At first glance, off-campus housing can appear less expensive. But the additional expenses outside of rent — like utilities, groceries, Internet access, cable and furniture — are often overlooked. To reduce off-campus costs, some students choose to overpack houses or apartments, sometimes with four or five people in a two-bedroom house. Unlike off-campus housing, the total cost of living on campus is typically all-inclusive, covering rent, utilities, furniture, Wi-Fi and a meal plan. 12. Why do some colleges require all the students to live on campus? A. To make sure all students can live in shared rooms. B. To keep them staying longer on campus for classes. C. To make as much profit as possible for the colleges. D. To monitor all of their students as easily as possible. 13. What should students do before living off campus? A. They should learn all aspects of off-campus living. B. They should find someone to take care of them. C. They should fully develop the ability to live alone. D. They should seek accommodation through an agent. 14. What does the underlined word “overpack” in the last paragraph mean? A. Overlook. B. Overconsume. C. Overload. D. Overestimate. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Residential Housing At Different Colleges B. Different Living Experience On Or Off Campus C. Accommodation Situation For College Students D. Choice Between Housing On Or Off Campus 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。 It’s no surprise that there’s a link between exercise and mental health. But scientists have now made it official: research has found a direct connection between movement and mood. Why does exercise hold so many benefits for our mental health? 16 . When our muscles tighten, chains of amino acids (氨基酸) called myokines (肌细胞因子) are released into the bloodstream. 17 . This communication increases adaptation to stress, reduces symptoms of anxiety and has a direct effect on depression. A recent study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine showed that treatment for depression can be much more effective when physical activity is added to the usual care. 18 . “While exercise is not a substitute for professional mental health treatment, physical activity can complement and enhance the effects of the treatment,” says lead researcher Ben Singh, a research fellow at the University of South Australia. He says regular exercise in a group setting can boost self-esteem and decrease feelings of isolation and loneliness. Exercise helps build key connections between the networks within the brain, too. 19 . Studies have shown that physical activity stimulates creativity, sharpens judgement skills and improves mental energy. It can also help to slow age-related cognitive (认知的) decline, possibly even slowing the pace of developing Alzheimer’s disease. 20 . In this way you’ll keep going back to them. Experts suggest that you aim for a minimum of 10 to 30 minutes, three to five days each week. Getting sweaty is good for your body and mind. A. It can improve overall cognitive performance. B. They help your muscles and organs communicate. C. The answer, studies say, lies in our brain chemistry. D. Here are the suggestions that you are supposed to pay attention to. E. To get the biggest health boost, the key is to be engaged in sports you enjoy. F. It is amazing to consider how moving our bodies can affect our overall health. G. Participants found benefits after 12 weeks of exercising for 30 to 60 minutes a day. 第二部分 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Last year, my friend, Kydee Williams, and I started a non-profit project because we wanted to do charity work differently.

Our main goal was to help inspire women who were 24 with hope as well as bring a little holiday cheer to our local communities. 25 any project or movement wasn’t easy. Brainstorming and coming up with cool ideas was the 26 part, but actually bringing those ideas to life can seem almost 27 at times. However, there were lessons about 28 that we didn’t fully realize until we started this journey. From our experience, we learned smaller shelters, especially those in less-commercialized areas were often 29 when it came to getting community support. Actually, they were typically more 30 to new and creative ideas and would greatly welcome 31 who offered help. Under our inspiration, many 32 people devoted themselves to non-profit work. Many shelters are understaffed and the staff overworked. Working directly with them made us 33 the specific needs of the shelter. While material things like food, clothes, money, and shelter can help people survive, what 34 helps people live is the intangible (无形的) necessities like love, presence, patience.

He even studied the complete works of many ancient poets, from 36 he selected a surprising number of verses about medicine. However, the greatest issue he encountered was the widespread 37 (inconsistent) in the use of drug names.

Streamers of clouds drifted by high above in the sky. Not far away, the huge new tower blocks lined the road. The faint sound of cars was dimly heard.  His mother was chopping tomatoes for their dinner as usual. Suddenly she said, “You know, the thing I miss most is cooking a really hot salsa (辣番茄酱) with fresh peppers straight from the garden.” She sighed. “That’s what I miss most about Merida.” Tomas looked up from his book in surprise. His mother had never talked like this about their old life before. He studied her now. She looked a little sad, but then she smiled at him and swept the pile of chopped tomatoes into the cooking pot. “But I’ve already learned a lot about this new city, Tomas,” she said. “For a start, I’ve learned that there’s more than one way to make a salsa!” She waved a packet of chili spice powder (辣椒香料粉) at him, and they both laughed.  Watching his mother busy in the kitchen preparing dinner, Tomas thought about the insight his mother had given him into her feelings, and he realized that he felt the same way about leaving.  Sure, it had been great for his father to get this good job, but it had also been hard. Tomas missed his old home — especially the sun and the beach. And his mother missed Merida, too. She had loved working in her market garden, selling the fresh vegetables that she had grown herself and then coming home to cook up huge, tasty meals for her family. Tomas’s mouth watered at the memories. He thought about how different things were for them now, living in this large, gray apartment block where there was no garden and no friends dropping by to share their delicious meals.  He sighed. At least they were still able to speak regularly every night after dinner with his grandmother back in Merida over the computer — Grandmother! 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。 Suddenly Tomas had an idea.

The Monkey King is a well-known character from the Chinese literary masterpiece, Journey to the West. This story portrays the adventurous journey of the mischievous but courageous Monkey King, Sun Wukong. With his incredible strength and intelligence, he helps the Tang Monk on his quest to obtain Buddhist scriptures. I’m drawn to this story because the Monkey King represents the spirit of perseverance and self-discovery. His pursuit of knowledge and self-improvement serve as a reminder of never stopping exploring and challenging ourselves. Thank you for you attention. 书面表达第二节 Suddenly Tomas had an idea. “It was apparent that I can’t go to Mexico, but at least I can enjoy the tasty food from it.” he thought to himself, wearing an expression of excitement. Thinking of the delicious food ranging from hot salsa to fresh vegetables, he felt as if he had tasted all of them. Tomas wasted no time turning on the computer and it didn’t take much time to get in touch with his grandmother. They chatted with each other cheerfully, sweet memories crowding in. His hands sweating and heart pounding, he briefly explained his intention. It was no surprise that his grandmother agreed without any hesitation. A week later, a box arrived from Mexico. No sooner had Tomas received the box than he opened it. What especially astonished him were some marvelous fresh peppers, as well as photos attached to the box, enabling him to recall the wonderful sun and beautiful beach. Then he took it to Mom, hoping to give her a surprise. So thrilled was she that she turned back to Tomas and hugged him tightly, “I have no idea that my son is such a considerate boy!” Tears rolled down her face in seconds. It was then that Tomas realized how both of them missed Merida! 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
