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 (入侵的) seaweed called sargassum 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% 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’s experience in childhood has influenced him much. D. Omar has met a lot of generous people since he was young. 5. How did most people react to the increasing sargassum? A. They didn’t take it seriously. B. They were anxious to clear it up. C. They viewed it as new materials. D. They were excited to see a grand scene. 6. Which words can best describe Omar? A. Honest and ambitious. B. Strong-willed and confident. C. Quick-thinking and humorous. D. Sympathetic and innovative. 7. What does the author mainly want to tell us through Omar’s success? A. It’s never too old to learn. B. Love shines every dark corner. C. Solutions can be obtained from problems. D. Heroes arise from humble beginnings. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一种叫做马尾藻的入侵海藻对当地人们的生活产生了不好的影响，奥马尔·巴斯克斯确看到了这种海藻的潜力，在帮助清理海藻的同时，决定把所有人都认为不好的东西变成好东西，最终的结果是一种有机的、可持续的、生态友好的建筑材料诞生了并建立了公司，为有需要的人建造了低收入住房。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“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 showed up on Mexico’s Caribbean beaches, Omar looked past the matter of it all and saw an opportunity to help others.(他看到他的单身母亲挣扎着养家糊口，今天的记忆激励他去帮助那些需要帮助的人。当一种叫做马尾藻的入侵海藻出现在墨西哥的加勒比海海滩上时，奥马尔看到了一个帮助别人的机会)”可知，奥马尔的童年经历对他影响很大。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“With tourism dollars at risk, officials and locals alike were eager to remove the seaweed, but only Omar saw its true potential.(由于旅游业收入面临风险，官员和当地人都急于清除海藻，但只有奥马尔看到了它的真正潜力)”可知，他们急于清除日益增多的马尾藻。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“When an invasive (入侵的) seaweed called sargassum showed up on Mexico’s Caribbean beaches, Omar looked past the matter of it all and saw an opportunity to help others.(当一种叫做马尾藻的入侵海藻出现在墨西哥的加勒比海海滩上时，奥马尔看到了一个帮助别人的机会)”、第三段“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.(由于人们对海藻的态度让他想起了自己的生活经历，他决定成为一名变革的推动者)”和文章第五段“In 2018, Omar found a way to turn sargassum into building blocks that he calls Sargablock. He creates these blocks by mixing 40% 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.(2018年，奥马尔找到了一种方法，把马尾藻变成了他称之为“Sargablock”的积木。他将40%的马尾藻和粘土等其他材料混合在一起，然后把它们放在积木机里，在太阳下烤上几天，就能制作出这些积木。最终的结果是一种有机的、可持续的、生态友好的建筑材料，专家说这种材料可以使用120年)”可知，奥马尔积极帮助别人并且将马尾藻变成了环保的材料。由此推知，奥马尔是富有同情心的和有创新精神的人。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。文章主要讲述了一种叫做马尾藻的入侵海藻对当地人们的生活产生了不好的影响，奥马尔·巴斯克斯确看到了这种海藻的潜力，在帮助清理海藻的同时，决定把所有人都认为不好的东西变成好东西，最终的结果是一种有机的、可持续的、生态友好的建筑材料诞生了并建立了公司，为有需要的人建造了低收入住房。由此推知，作者想要通过奥马尔的成功告诉我们解决方案可以从问题中获得。故选C。 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. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了OpenAI新推出了一款文本到视频生成器Sora，文章介绍了其特点以及其争议 。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“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.(但OpenAI展示的视频质量很高 —— 其中一些是首席执行官山姆·奥特曼要求社交媒体用户发送书面提示想法后发布的 —— 这让观察人士感到惊讶)”可知，Sora令人印象深刻的是其出色的视频质量，故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“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 moral and social effects.(OpenAI对其构建过程提供了有限的信息。该公司也没有说明使用了哪些图像和视频来源来训练Sora。与此同时，视频结果引发了人们对可能产生的道德和社会影响的担忧)”可知，在Sora问题上出现了一些分歧，故选B项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“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.”(该公司补充说，它正在与“红队成员”合作开发Sora，这些“红队成员”试图找出问题并提供有益的建议。该公司表示：“我们正在与红队成员合作，他们是错误信息、有害内容和偏见等领域的专家，将从不同方面测试该模型。我们还在构建工具来帮助检测误导性内容，比如一种检测分类器，它可以识别视频是否由Sora生成。”)”可知，最后一段主要讲公司为改进Sora所做的努力。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“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.(ChatGPT的制造商最近宣布了其在生成式人工智能领域的下一步行动。总部位于旧金山的OpenAI公司的新文本到视频生成器名为Sora，它是一种根据书面命令（称为提示）即时制作短视频的工具)”可知，本文主要介绍了OpenAI新推出了一款文本到视频生成器Sora，全文作者客观的在陈述Sora的特点、社会对其的争议以及该公司为了Sora的改进所做的努力，故可推知作者对Sora的态度是客观的，故选A项。 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 (保留) 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, coveting rent, utilities, furniture, Wi-Fi and a meal plan. 12. Why do some colleges require all the students to live on campus? A. To keep them stay longer on campus for classes. B. To make sure all students can live in shared rooms. 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 find someone to take care of them. B. They should fully develop the ability to live alone. C They should learn all aspects of off-campus living. 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. Overestimate. D. Overload. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Residential Housing At Different Colleges B. Choice Between Housing On or Off Campus C. Accommodation Situation For College Students D. Different Living Experience On or Off Campus 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍的是大学生选择校内外住宿的优劣，并提供了选择建议，分析了校内住宿对学习的益处和校外住宿的独立生活技能需求。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“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 (保留) and attendance rates among freshman and second-year students, according to a 2021 report.(有些学校不提供这种选择，并要求全日制学生在校内生活四年。2021年的一份报告显示，住在校园里可以提高大一和二年级学生的留校率和出勤率。)”可知，一份报告显示，学校要求学生在校内生活能提高大一和大二学生的留效率和出勤率；由此可知，有些大学要求所有的学生都住在校园里为了让他们在上课在校园的时间更长。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“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.(校外学生在支付自己的账单、为租房者找保险、自己做饭、谈判或审查合同等方面获得了更多的实际经验。)”可知，住在校外，学生要考虑支付自己的账单，找保险、自己做饭、协商或者审查合同等方面，结合下文中的“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.(在做决定之前，先做足功课，看看所有的成本。同时也要确保他们选择了可以一起生活的人。)”可知，作者建议选择校外居住前要做足功课，考虑所有的成本以及确保选择了可以一起生活的人；由此可知，选择校外居住前需要考虑到方方面面的问题。故选C项。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词前的“To reduce off-campus costs(为了减少校外居住的成本)”以及划线单词后的“sometimes with four or five people in a two-bedroom house(有时四五个人住在一套两居室的房子里。)”可知，为了降低成本，有些学生选择在两室的卧房里住进四五个人，说明房子里住的人太多，由此可推断，划线单词overpack的意思应与“塞满或者挤满”意思相近。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段“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.(大学一年级的学生通常被期望或要求住在宿舍里。在剩下的几年里，通常由这些学生决定是住在校内还是校外。)”可知，大学一年级的学生要求住在宿舍，但在接下来的几年里有学生决定住在校内还是校外，结合下文介绍的校内居住和校外住宿的利和弊，并提供了相关的建议可知，本文主要介绍的是关于学生在校内和校外住房之间选择的讨论；由此可知，题目“校内居住还是校外居住的选择”与本文内容相符，且概括了本文的主题，适合作为最佳标题。故选B项。 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 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. It is amazing to consider how moving our bodies can affect our minds F. To get the biggest health boost, the key is to be engaged in sports you enjoy G. Participants found benefits after 12 weeks of exercising for 30 to 60 minutes a day 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. G 19. A 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了运动对心理健康有着积极作用，并阐述运动和情绪之间存在直接联系的原因。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Why does exercise hold so many benefits for our mental health?(为什么运动对我们的心理健康有这么多好处？)”可知，本句主要回答上文的问题，结合后文“When our muscles tighten, chains of amino acids (氨基酸) called myokines (肌细胞因子) are released into the bloodstream.(当我们的肌肉收紧时，被称为肌促因子的氨基酸链被释放到血液中)”提到chains of amino acids氨基酸链的被释放，体现了正是C选项中chemistry的体现。故C选项“研究表明，答案在于我们大脑中的化学物质”符合语境，故选C。 17题详解】 根据上文“When our muscles tighten, chains of amino acids (氨基酸) called myokines (肌细胞因子) are released into the bloodstream.(当我们的肌肉收紧时，被称为肌促因子的氨基酸链被释放到血液中)”以及后文“This communication increases adaptation to stress, reduces symptoms of anxiety and has a direct effect on depression.(这种交流增加了对压力的适应，减少了焦虑的症状，并对抑郁有直接影响)”可知，本句承接上文，说明氨基酸链的具体作用，B选项中they指代空格前chains of amino acids，和空格后This communication指选项 your muscles and organs communicate。故B选项“它们帮助你的肌肉和器官交流”符合语境，故选B。 【18题详解】 根据上文“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.(最近发表在《英国运动医学杂志》上的一项研究表明，如果在日常护理中加入体育活动，抑郁症的治疗会更有效)”以及后文““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.(南澳大利亚大学研究员、首席研究员本·辛格说:“虽然运动不能代替专业的心理健康治疗，但体育活动可以补充并增强治疗效果。”他说，在团体环境中定期锻炼可以增强自尊，减少孤立感和孤独感)”可知，本句主要就上文加入体育活动展开具体说明，且此处涉及研究，推测本句与研究中的参与者有关。故G选项“参与者在12周后发现每天锻炼30到60分钟是有益的”符合语境，故选G。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Exercise helps build key connections between the networks within the brain, too.(锻炼也有助于建立大脑网络之间的关键连接)”以及后文“Studies have shown that physical activity stimulates creativity, sharpens judgement skills and improves mental energy. It can also help to slow age-related cognitive decline, possibly even slowing the pace of developing Alzheimer’s disease.(研究表明，体育活动可以激发创造力，提高判断能力，提高精神能量。它还可以帮助减缓与年龄相关的认知衰退，甚至可能减缓阿尔茨海默病的发展速度)”可知，本句主要是在说明体育活动对人的大脑的具体好处，故A选项“它可以提高整体认知能力”符合语境，故选A。 【20题详解】 根据后文“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.(这样你就会不断回到他们身边。专家建议，你的目标是每周至少锻炼3到5天，每次10到30分钟。出汗对你的身心都有好处)”可知，该空位于文章末段，起到总结作用，另外空格后面In this way对应F选项中to be engaged in sports you enjoy，them指代sports。故F选项“为了最大程度地促进健康，关键是要参加你喜欢的运动”符合语境，故选F。 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.

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 country 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 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 stomach rumbled 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 Mexico over the computer-Grandmother! Abuela! 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. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, a box arrived from Mexico. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One Possible Version: Suddenly Tomás had an idea. Why not turn to Abuela for help? Seized by the increasing eagerness to contact his grandmother, he wolfed his supper once it was ready. Right after dinner, Tomás raced to the computer before he had even had his favourite dessert, leaving his mother in curiosity. The moment he got through to his grandmother via the video chat, he lowered his voice, whispering, “Abuela, I need your help!” After Tomás poured out his idea, Abuela clapped her hands, promising, “Excellent! You’ll receive what you want!” Beside himself with joy, Tomás waved goodbye to Abuela, expectantly waiting for the package. A week later, a box arrived from Mexico. Bubbling over with excitement, Tomás invited his mother to open the box together. Unfolding before their eyes were a sealed package of dried habanero peppers and a colorful packet of seeds. “That’s what I miss most! A taste from HOME!”, blurted out his mother, her lips curving into a broad beam and eyes glittering in amazement. Never had Tomás seen his mother so cheerful in weeks. Moments later, his mother was preparing a salsa using the peppers, chopping tomatoes and humming a merry tune. Outside the kitchen window, a big pot containing the seeds gleamed in the sunlight. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Tomas一家因为父亲的工作离开了家乡，Tomas听了母亲说思念家乡的辣椒，想到他们可以每天晚上与祖母通电话，Tomas想到一个办法安慰思乡的母亲的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然Tomas有了一个想法”可知，第一段可描写Tomas与奶奶通电话寻求帮助的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“一周后，来自墨西哥盒子到了。”可知，第二段可描写Tomas和母亲打开盒子后的情景，母亲吃惊而欣喜，非常高兴。 2.续写线索：和奶奶通电话寻求帮助——奶奶欣然接受——打开盒子——母亲惊喜——母亲非常高兴 3.词汇激活 行为类 .联系：contact/reach/get in touch with .冲向电脑：race to the computer/rush to the computer .倾诉：pour out/speak out/pour forth 情绪类 .好奇：in curiosity/curiously .开心：with joy/delighted/joyful .吃惊：in amazement/amazedly/surprisedly/in surprise 【点睛】[高分句型1].

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 (入侵的) seaweed called sargassum 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% 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’s experience in childhood has influenced him much. D. Omar has met a lot of generous people since he was young. 5. How did most people react to the increasing sargassum? A. They didn’t take it seriously. B. They were anxious to clear it up. C. They viewed it as new materials. D. They were excited to see a grand scene. 6 Which words can best describe Omar? A. Honest and ambitious. B. Strong-willed and confident. C. Quick-thinking and humorous. D. Sympathetic and innovative. 7. What does the author mainly want to tell us through Omar’s success? A. It’s never too old to learn. B. Love shines every dark corner. C. Solutions can be obtained from problems. 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 (保留) 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, coveting rent, utilities, furniture, Wi-Fi and a meal plan. 12. Why do some colleges require all the students to live on campus? A. To keep them stay longer on campus for classes. B. To make sure all students can live in shared rooms. 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 find someone to take care of them. B. They should fully develop the ability to live alone. C. They should learn all aspects of off-campus living. 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. Overestimate. D. Overload. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Residential Housing At Different Colleges B. Choice Between Housing On or Off Campus C Accommodation Situation For College Students D. Different Living Experience 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 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. It is amazing to consider how moving our bodies can affect our minds F. To get the biggest health boost, the key is to be engaged in sports you enjoy G.

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 country, 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 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 stomach rumbled 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 Mexico over the computer-Grandmother! Abuela! 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. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, a box arrived from Mexico. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
