He and his two older brothers were raised in wealth. Button began skating when he was five years old, using his brothers’ old skates. When Button was 11 years old, he received his first pair of skates for Christmas. His first coach did not believe he had any ability and would never learn to skate. Button’s parents found him another coach, Swiss-born Lussi. For the next ten years, during his summers off from school，Button would train with Lussi in Lake Placid, New York, where the 1932 Winter Olympics had been held. Button soon proved he had great natural ability. Combined with hard training and great coaching, he soon had success in competition. In 1943, he placed second at the Eastern States championships. Showing his competitive spirit, Button was unhappy with his second place win. Later that year, he won first title. Button competed in the 1947 World Championships. He placed second, though some believed Button should have won. Button decided to change his skating style. He became more daring in his free skate. To practise for the Olympics, Button competed in the 1948 European championships in Prague, Czechoslovakia. Not only did this competition assist Button in preparing for the Olympic games, but it allowed him to show off his newly developed style to the judges so that it might be more favorable later on. Button impressed the judges enough to win the title. At the 1948 Winter Olympics in St. Moritz, Switzerland, Button won the gold medal with his free skate. Button cemented his status as a leading skater. In the fall of 1948, Button entered Harvard University. He could have gone to Yale University, but Yale would not let him take time off to compete as a skater. In 1952, Button graduated with his B．A．In the same year, Button repeated his gold medal victory at the Olympic Games in Oslo, Norway. Again, Button achieved something no skater had done before. 36．What made Button decide to change his skating style? A．Being looked down upon by his first coach. B．Winning the second at the Eastern States championships. C．Winning the second at the World Championships. D．Winning the first in the European championships. 37．How many gold medals in all did Button win at Olympics? A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. 38．Which of the following statements is TRUE? A．Button was born in a poor family so he had to use his brothers’ old skates. B．Button was excited with the second place at the Eastern States championships. C．Both the two coaches thought he had the ability to skate. D．At an early age, Button showed great interest in skating. 39．What does the underlined word “cemented” in Para.6 mean? A．Established. B．Ruined. C．Shook. D．Threatened. 40．Button didn’t go to Yale University because ________. A．Yale required him to give up skating completely B．in his eyes Harvard was better than Yale C．he needed more free time to compete D．he had no confidence to graduate B An AI from Google DeepMind has achieved a silver medal score at this year’s International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), the first time any AI has made it to the podium (领奖台). The IMO is considered the world’s most famous competition for young mathematicians. In January, Google DeepMind demonstrated AlphaGeometry, an AI system that could answer some IMO geometry questions as well as humans. However, this was not from a live competition, and it couldn’t answer questions from other mathematical disciplines. Google DeepMind has now released a new AI, called AlphaProof, which can solve a wider range of mathematical problems. It is an improved version of AlphaGeometry that can solve more geometry questions. When the team tested both systems together on this year’s IMO questions, they answered four out of six questions correctly, giving them a score of 28 out of a possible 42 points. This was enough to win a silver medal and just one point under this year’s gold medal threshold (门槛). At the contest in Bath, UK, 58 competitors won a gold medal and 123 won a silver medal. “We are all very much aware that AI will eventually be better than humans at solving most mathematical problems, but the rate at which AI is improving is breathtaking,” says Gregor Dolinar, the IMO president. “Missing the gold medal at IMO 2024 by just one point a few days ago is truly impressive.” While AlphaProof’s performance is impressive, it works slowly, taking up to three days to find some solutions instead of the 4. 5 hours per three questions that competitors are allowed. It also failed to answer both questions on combinatorics, which is the study of counting and arranging numbers. “We are still working to understand why this is, which will hopefully lead us to improve the system,” says Alex Davies at Google DeepMind. 41．What do we know about AlphaProof in paragraph 3? A．Its all functions. B．Its potential clients. C．Its advantages over AlphaGeometry. D．Its abilities to analyse problems. 42．What can be learned about this year’s International Mathematical Olympiad? A．It took place in Bath, UK. B．There were 10 questions in the contest. C．181 competitors took part in the contest. D．This year’s gold medal threshold was 30 points. 43．What is one of the limitations of AlphaProof? A．It can only solve geometry-related problems. B．It is much slower than human competitors in answering questions. C．It has difficulty in understanding the basic concepts of mathematics. D．It requires a large amount of computing resources to function 44．What may be Alex Davies’ attitude to the development of AlphaProof? A．Neutral. B．Uncaring. C．Disapproving. D．Positive. 45．What’s the best title of the text? A．DeepMind AI Gets Silver Medal at IMO 2024 B．DeepMind AI Is Developed to Take Part in IMO 2024 C．AI Manages to Solve Difficult Mathematical Problems Well D．AI Will Be Better than Humans at Solving Mathematical Problems C Large rocks formed one wall of Diana Kennedy’s home in Zitácuaro, around 170 kilometers west of Mexico City. Her gardens were full of herbs and other eatable plants; the home itself was built of locally made, often recycled materials. Shortly after her death, Mexico’s Culture Ministry called Quinta Diana, as she named her home, “an example of sustainability and conservation of nature and biodiversity”. Ms. Kennedy bought the land in 1980 and it expanded in the following years. Born in Loughton, United Kingdom in 1923, Diana Kennedy had no formal culinary (relating to cooking) training and tried a variety of jobs. She went to Mexico in 1957 to marry Paul P. Kennedy and she soon began working on her first book, The Cuisines of Mexico, which was published in 1972. The plural (复数形式) was intentional: no English-speaking writer before her was determined to seek out and celebrate the wide range of Mexican food and cooking. She had seen Mexico modernize and develop, and she drew people’s attention to the culinary disadvantages: the increasing use of convenient but poor corn flour rather than earthy, sweet fresh corn flour; the tendency to rush rather than enjoy preparing food; the disappearing of Mexico’s forests. She was more a culinary anthropologist (人类学家) than an inventor. She didn’t create recipes; she gathered them, testing them dozens of times until the taste was as she remembered when she first tried them. She had great confidence in her approach, taking 14 years to research her final book, Oaxaca al Gusto: An Infinite Gastronomy, which was devoted to the state’s deliciously complex cuisine. It won a James Beard Award for Cookbook of the Year, She was a strong advocate of traditional dishes. She understood that Mexican cuisine often has a sort of austerity (朴素), using few ingredients at the peak of their ripeness, and prepared to let every flavor shine. She was deeply doubtful about culinary innovation and angry about the debasing (质量降低) of what she rightly considered as the world’s great cuisine. 46．What does Quinta Diana symbolize? A．A long history. B．A special garden design. C．Unique Mexican culture. D．The concept of environmental protection. 47．What can we learn about Diana Kennedy? A．She introduced a variety of Mexican dishes in her first book. B．She bought Quinta Diana soon after she moved to Mexico. C．She was a well-trained cook before becoming a writer. D．She married Paul P. Kennedy in Loughton in 1957. 48．Which statement would Diana Kennedy agree with? A．Food should be prepared for quite a long time. B．Corn flour is not the best choice for Mexican cuisine. C．More ingredients should be added to Mexican cuisine. D．Food shouldn’t be made at the cost of damaging its nature. 49．What’s Diana Kennedy’s attitude towards some novel dishes? A．Unclear. B．Disapproving. C．Supportive. D．Tolerant. 50．Which of the following words can best describe Diana Kennedy? A．Confident and sensitive. B．Optimistic and ambitious. C．Cooperative and generous. D．Determined and responsible. D Each of us has dreams and goals for our future. What makes us study and make progress each day is closely connected with our personal dream and goal. But why do you have dreams and goals, you still end up with nothing? What separates successful people from the dreamers is their persistent (锲而不舍的) action. When you learn your lessons in school, you must work hard and not give up. You will often find some of your lessons very hard. Try and keep trying, and you’ ll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with. If we have a hard lesson today, let us try our best to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow. This is the famous formula (公式) for success: Dream> Believe> Achieve Most people have what they want (Dream) and think they can realize their dreams (Believe) . And then they do nothing. They must imagine their dreams can come true. When they get tired of waiting and lose a lot, they get bored. They say angrily how terrible their life is. I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life, you have to add one thing to your success formula: Dream> Believe> Act> Achieve For me, act is the most important thing for success and that’s to Take Persistent Action (Act). If you say, “I can’t do it” and give up, you can never do anything valuable. However, “I’ll try” creates wonders. Let’s remember that there will be obstacles in our life. We must face them bravely and solve them. Success is not something that falls down from the sky. Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action. Please remember: Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality. 51．What should you do when you find your lessons very hard? A．Ask people for help. B．Try and keep trying. C．Get ready to create wonders. D．Prepare for a harder one. 52．Which does the writer add to the famous formula? A．Act. B．Achieve. C．Connect. D．Create. 53．What does the underlined word “obstacles” mean? A．危险 B．想象 C．奇迹 D．困难 54．Why does the writer use the formula “Dream> Believe> Act> Achieve”? A．To support his idea. B．To ask readers to explain it. C．To show what his goals are. D．To compare it with a bridge. 55．What would be the best title for the text? A．Doing Something Valuable B．Studying Hard and Making Progress C．Realizing Dreams with Persistent Action D．Separating Successful People from Dreams 第三部分:写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 A poor little boy was at a loss (不知所措的) when a lovely young woman opened the door.

He and his two older brothers were raised in wealth. Button began skating when he was five years old, using his brothers’ old skates. When Button was 11 years old, he received his first pair of skates for Christmas. His first coach did not believe he had any ability and would never learn to skate. Button’s parents found him another coach, Swiss-born Lussi. For the next ten years, during his summers off from school，Button would train with Lussi in Lake Placid, New York, where the 1932 Winter Olympics had been held. Button soon proved he had great natural ability. Combined with hard training and great coaching, he soon had success in competition. In 1943, he placed second at the Eastern States championships. Showing his competitive spirit, Button was unhappy with his second place win. Later that year, he won first title. Button competed in the 1947 World Championships. He placed second, though some believed Button should have won. Button decided to change his skating style. He became more daring in his free skate. To practise for the Olympics, Button competed in the 1948 European championships in Prague, Czechoslovakia. Not only did this competition assist Button in preparing for the Olympic games, but it allowed him to show off his newly developed style to the judges so that it might be more favorable later on. Button impressed the judges enough to win the title. At the 1948 Winter Olympics in St. Moritz, Switzerland, Button won the gold medal with his free skate. Button cemented his status as a leading skater. In the fall of 1948, Button entered Harvard University. He could have gone to Yale University, but Yale would not let him take time off to compete as a skater. In 1952, Button graduated with his B．A．In the same year, Button repeated his gold medal victory at the Olympic Games in Oslo, Norway. Again, Button achieved something no skater had done before. 36．What made Button decide to change his skating style? A．Being looked down upon by his first coach. B．Winning the second at the Eastern States championships. C．Winning the second at the World Championships. D．Winning the first in the European championships. 37．How many gold medals in all did Button win at Olympics? A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. 38．Which of the following statements is TRUE?

(1952年，巴顿毕业并获得了文学学士学位。同年，他在挪威奥斯陆举行的奥运会上再次获得了金牌。)”可知，他曾经两次获得奥运会的金牌，分别于1948年和1952年。故选B。 38．细节理解题。根据第一段“Button began skating when he was five years old, using his brothers’ old skates. (巴顿五岁时就开始滑冰了，当时他用的是哥哥们用过的冰鞋。)”可知，D选项“在很小的时候，巴顿就对滑冰产生了浓厚的兴趣”正确。故选D。 39．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“At the 1948 Winter Olympics in St. Moritz, Switzerland, Button won the gold medal with his free skate. (在 1948年瑞士圣莫里茨举行的冬季奥运会上，巴顿凭借自由滑获得了金牌。)”以及后文“his status as a leading skater (顶尖滑冰选手的地位)”可知，获得金牌巩固了他顶尖滑冰选手的地位。故划线词意思是“巩固”。故选A。 40．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“He could have gone to Yale University, but Yale would not let him take time off to compete as a skater. (他本可以去耶鲁大学，但耶鲁大学不允许他请假去参加滑冰比赛。)”可知，巴顿没有去耶鲁大学读书，是因为他需要更多的时间来进行比赛。故选C。 B An AI from Google DeepMind has achieved a silver medal score at this year’s International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), the first time any AI has made it to the podium (领奖台). The IMO is considered the world’s most famous competition for young mathematicians. In January, Google DeepMind demonstrated AlphaGeometry, an AI system that could answer some IMO geometry questions as well as humans. However, this was not from a live competition, and it couldn’t answer questions from other mathematical disciplines. Google DeepMind has now released a new AI, called AlphaProof, which can solve a wider range of mathematical problems. It is an improved version of AlphaGeometry that can solve more geometry questions. When the team tested both systems together on this year’s IMO questions, they answered four out of six questions correctly, giving them a score of 28 out of a possible 42 points. This was enough to win a silver medal and just one point under this year’s gold medal threshold (门槛). At the contest in Bath, UK, 58 competitors won a gold medal and 123 won a silver medal. “We are all very much aware that AI will eventually be better than humans at solving most mathematical problems, but the rate at which AI is improving is breathtaking,” says Gregor Dolinar, the IMO president. “Missing the gold medal at IMO 2024 by just one point a few days ago is truly impressive.” While AlphaProof’s performance is impressive, it works slowly, taking up to three days to find some solutions instead of the 4. 5 hours per three questions that competitors are allowed. It also failed to answer both questions on combinatorics, which is the study of counting and arranging numbers. “We are still working to understand why this is, which will hopefully lead us to improve the system,” says Alex Davies at Google DeepMind. 41．What do we know about AlphaProof in paragraph 3? A．Its all functions. B．Its potential clients. C．Its advantages over AlphaGeometry. D．Its abilities to analyse problems. 42．What can be learned about this year’s International Mathematical Olympiad? A．It took place in Bath, UK. B．There were 10 questions in the contest. C．181 competitors took part in the contest. D．This year’s gold medal threshold was 30 points. 43．What is one of the limitations of AlphaProof? A．It can only solve geometry-related problems. B．It is much slower than human competitors in answering questions. C．It has difficulty in understanding the basic concepts of mathematics. D．It requires a large amount of computing resources to function 44．What may be Alex Davies’ attitude to the development of AlphaProof? A．Neutral. B．Uncaring. C．Disapproving. D．Positive. 45．What’s the best title of the text? A．DeepMind AI Gets Silver Medal at IMO 2024 B．DeepMind AI Is Developed to Take Part in IMO 2024 C．AI Manages to Solve Difficult Mathematical Problems Well D．AI Will Be Better than Humans at Solving Mathematical Problems 【参考答案】41．C 42．A 43．B 44．D 45．A 【语篇解读】本文是一篇新文报道。文章报道了谷歌DeepMind研发的人工智能AlphaProof在2024年国际数学奥林匹克竞赛中获得银牌，还阐述了其优势、局限性等情况。 【详情解析】 41．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Google DeepMind has now released a new AI, called AlphaProof, which can solve a wider range of mathematical problems. It is an improved version of AlphaGeometry that can solve more geometry questions.(谷歌DeepMind现在发布了一种新的人工智能，名为AlphaProof，它可以解决更广泛的数学问题。它是AlphaGeometry的改进版本，可以解决更多的几何问题)”可知，AlphaProof优于AlphaGeometry，它能解决更广泛的数学问题和更多几何问题。故选C项。 42．细节理解题。根据第四段中“At the contest in Bath, UK, 58 competitors won a gold medal and 123 won a silver medal.(在英国巴斯举行的比赛中，58名参赛者获得金牌，123名获得银牌)”可知，今年的国际数学奥林匹克竞赛在英国巴斯举行。故选A项。 43．细节理解题。根据第六段中“While AlphaProof’s performance is impressive, it works slowly, taking up to three days to find some solutions instead of the 4. 5 hours per three questions that competitors are allowed.(虽然AlphaProof的表现令人印象深刻，但它的工作速度很慢，找到一些解决方案需要长达三天的时间，而不是参赛者被允许的每三道题4.5小时)”可知，AlphaProof在回答问题方面比人类参赛者慢得多。故选B项。 44．推理判断题。根据最后一段中Alex Davies的话“We are still working to understand why this is, which will hopefully lead us to improve the system(我们仍在努力弄清楚为什么会这样，这有望让我们改进这个系统)”可知，Alex Davies表示正在努力寻找问题原因以改进系统，由此可推断他对AlphaProof的发展持积极态度。故选D项。 45．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“An AI from Google DeepMind has achieved a silver medal score at this year’s International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), the first time any AI has made it to the podium (领奖台).(谷歌DeepMind的一款人工智能在今年的国际数学奥林匹克竞赛(IMO)中获得了银牌成绩，这是人工智能首次登上领奖台)”以及后文围绕该人工智能在竞赛中的表现等内容的介绍可知，文章主要讲述的是谷歌DeepMind的人工智能在2024年国际数学奥林匹克竞赛中获得银牌这一事件。A选项“DeepMind AI Gets Silver Medal at IMO 2024 (DeepMind人工智能在2024年国际数学奥林匹克竞赛中获得银牌)”能概括文章主要内容，最适合做文章标题。故选A项。 C Large rocks formed one wall of Diana Kennedy’s home in Zitácuaro, around 170 kilometers west of Mexico City. Her gardens were full of herbs and other eatable plants; the home itself was built of locally made, often recycled materials. Shortly after her death, Mexico’s Culture Ministry called Quinta Diana, as she named her home, “an example of sustainability and conservation of nature and biodiversity”. Ms. Kennedy bought the land in 1980 and it expanded in the following years. Born in Loughton, United Kingdom in 1923, Diana Kennedy had no formal culinary (relating to cooking) training and tried a variety of jobs. She went to Mexico in 1957 to marry Paul P. Kennedy and she soon began working on her first book, The Cuisines of Mexico, which was published in 1972. The plural (复数形式) was intentional: no English-speaking writer before her was determined to seek out and celebrate the wide range of Mexican food and cooking. She had seen Mexico modernize and develop, and she drew people’s attention to the culinary disadvantages: the increasing use of convenient but poor corn flour rather than earthy, sweet fresh corn flour; the tendency to rush rather than enjoy preparing food; the disappearing of Mexico’s forests. She was more a culinary anthropologist (人类学家) than an inventor. She didn’t create recipes; she gathered them, testing them dozens of times until the taste was as she remembered when she first tried them. She had great confidence in her approach, taking 14 years to research her final book, Oaxaca al Gusto: An Infinite Gastronomy, which was devoted to the state’s deliciously complex cuisine. It won a James Beard Award for Cookbook of the Year, She was a strong advocate of traditional dishes. She understood that Mexican cuisine often has a sort of austerity (朴素), using few ingredients at the peak of their ripeness, and prepared to let every flavor shine. She was deeply doubtful about culinary innovation and angry about the debasing (质量降低) of what she rightly considered as the world’s great cuisine. 46．What does Quinta Diana symbolize? A．A long history. B．A special garden design. C．Unique Mexican culture. D．The concept of environmental protection. 47．What can we learn about Diana Kennedy? A．She introduced a variety of Mexican dishes in her first book. B．She bought Quinta Diana soon after she moved to Mexico. C．She was a well-trained cook before becoming a writer. D．She married Paul P. Kennedy in Loughton in 1957. 48．Which statement would Diana Kennedy agree with? A．Food should be prepared for quite a long time. B．Corn flour is not the best choice for Mexican cuisine. C．More ingredients should be added to Mexican cuisine. D．Food shouldn’t be made at the cost of damaging its nature. 49．What’s Diana Kennedy’s attitude towards some novel dishes? A．Unclear. B．Disapproving. C．Supportive. D．Tolerant. 50．Which of the following words can best describe Diana Kennedy? A．Confident and sensitive. B．Optimistic and ambitious. C．Cooperative and generous. D．Determined and responsible. 【参考答案】46．D 47．A 48．D 49．B 50．D 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了Diana Kennedy，一位英国出生的墨西哥美食作家和环保主义者。她以其对墨西哥传统美食的深入研究和保护而闻名，并通过她的书籍和生活方式强调了环境保护和可持续性的重要性。 【详情解析】 46．细节理解题。根据第一段“Shortly after her death, Mexico’s Culture Ministry called Quinta Diana, as she named her home, “an example of sustainability and conservation of nature and biodiversity. (她去世不久后，墨西哥文化部称她命名的家“Quinta Diana”为“可持续性、自然和生物多样性保护的典范”。)”可知，Quinta Diana象征着环保的概念，故选D项。 47．细节理解题。根据第二段“She went to Mexico in 1957 to marry Paul P. Kennedy and she soon began working on her first book, The Cuisines of Mexico, which was published in 1972. (她于1957年前往墨西哥嫁给Paul P. Kennedy，并很快开始撰写她的第一本书《墨西哥美食》，该书于1972年出版)”可知，她在第一本书中介绍了多种墨西哥菜肴，故选A项。 48．细节理解题。根据第三段“She had seen Mexico modernize and develop, and she drew people’s attention to the culinary disadvantages: the increasing use of convenient but poor corn flour rather than earthy, sweet fresh corn flour; the tendency to rush rather than enjoy preparing food; the disappearing of Mexico’s forests. (她目睹了墨西哥的现代化和发展，同时她也指出了烹饪方面的劣势：人们越来越多地使用方便但质量较差的玉米粉，而不是那种质朴、甜美的新鲜玉米粉；人们倾向于匆忙准备食物，而不是享受烹饪的过程；墨西哥的森林正在消失。)”可知，Diana Kennedy认为不应以破坏食物的自然性为代价来制作食物，故选D项。 49．推理判断题。根据最后一段“She was deeply doubtful about culinary innovation and angry about the debasing of what she rightly considered as the world’s great cuisine. (她对烹饪创新持怀疑态度，并对那些她认为是世界上最伟大的美食的贬低行为感到愤怒)”可知，Diana Kennedy对一些新奇菜肴持不赞成的态度，故选B项。 50．推理判断题。根据文中“She had great confidence in her approach, taking 14 years to research her final book, Oaxaca al Gusto: An Infinite Gastronomy, which was devoted to the state’s deliciously complex cuisine. It won a James Beard Award for Cookbook of the Year(她对自己的方法充满信心，花了14年时间研究她的最后一本书《Oaxaca al Gusto: An Infinite Gastronomy》，这本书致力于研究该州复杂而美味的美食。这本书赢得了詹姆斯·比尔德年度最佳食谱奖)”可知，Diana Kennedy是一个坚定且有责任感的人。她对自己的研究方法充满信心，并且愿意投入大量时间和精力来确保她的工作质量。她的责任感体现在她对传统墨西哥美食的保护和推广上，她通过自己的书籍和生活方式强调了环境保护和可持续性的重要性。因此，描述她最合适的词语是“坚定的”和“有责任感的”，故选D项。 D Each of us has dreams and goals for our future. What makes us study and make progress each day is closely connected with our personal dream and goal. But why do you have dreams and goals, you still end up with nothing? What separates successful people from the dreamers is their persistent (锲而不舍的) action. When you learn your lessons in school, you must work hard and not give up. You will often find some of your lessons very hard. Try and keep trying, and you’ ll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with. If we have a hard lesson today, let us try our best to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow. This is the famous formula (公式) for success: Dream> Believe> Achieve Most people have what they want (Dream) and think they can realize their dreams (Believe) . And then they do nothing. They must imagine their dreams can come true. When they get tired of waiting and lose a lot, they get bored. They say angrily how terrible their life is. I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life, you have to add one thing to your success formula: Dream> Believe> Act> Achieve For me, act is the most important thing for success and that’s to Take Persistent Action (Act). If you say, “I can’t do it” and give up, you can never do anything valuable. However, “I’ll try” creates wonders. Let’s remember that there will be obstacles in our life. We must face them bravely and solve them. Success is not something that falls down from the sky. Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action. Please remember: Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality. 51．What should you do when you find your lessons very hard? A．Ask people for help. B．Try and keep trying. C．Get ready to create wonders. D．Prepare for a harder one. 52．Which does the writer add to the famous formula? A．Act. B．Achieve. C．Connect. D．Create. 53．What does the underlined word “obstacles” mean? A．危险 B．想象 C．奇迹 D．困难 54．Why does the writer use the formula “Dream> Believe> Act> Achieve”? A．To support his idea. B．To ask readers to explain it. C．To show what his goals are. D．To compare it with a bridge. 55．What would be the best title for the text? A．Doing Something Valuable B．Studying Hard and Making Progress C．Realizing Dreams with Persistent Action D．Separating Successful People from Dreams 【参考答案】51．B 52．A 53．D 54．A 55．C 【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕梦想和目标展开，指出成功的关键在于锲而不舍的行动，介绍了成功公式并强调行动的重要性。 【详情解析】 51．细节理解题。根据第二段中“When you learn your lessons in school, you must work hard and not give up. You will often find some of your lessons very hard. Try and keep trying, and you’ ll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with. (当你在学校学习功课时，你必须努力学习，不要放弃。你会经常发现你的一些课程很难。继续努力，你一定能成功应对遇到的任何困难)”可知，当你发现功课很难时，应该继续努力。故选B项。 52．细节理解题。根据第三段“This is the famous formula (公式) for success: Dream> Believe> Achieve(这就是著名的成功秘诀：梦想>相信>实现)”和倒数第三段中“I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life, you have to add one thing to your success formula: Dream> Believe> Act> Achieve (我个人认为，如果你真的想在生活中实现梦想和目标，你必须在成功公式中添加一件事：梦想>相信>行动>实现)”可知，作者在著名公式中添加了“Act”。故选A项。 53．词句猜测题。根据划线词所在部分“Let’s remember that there will be obstacles in our life. We must face them bravely and solve them.(让我们记住，在我们的生活中会有……。我们必须勇敢地面对并解决它们)”中“face them bravely and solve them”可推知，“obstacles”指的是生活中有需要面对和解决的“困难”，obstacles在句中意思是“困难”。故选D项。 54．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“For me, act is the most important thing for success and that’s to Take Persistent Action (Act). (对我来说，行动是成功最重要的因素，也就是要采取锲而不舍的行动)”和“Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action. (大多数成功人士因为他们锲而不舍的行动而实现了他们的梦想)”可知，作者强调行动的重要性，使用“Dream> Believe> Act> Achieve”这个公式是为了支持自己“行动是成功关键”的观点。故选A项。 55．主旨大意题。通读全文，根据倒数第二段中“Success is not something that falls down from the sky. Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action.  (成功不是从天上掉下来的东西。大多数成功人士因为他们锲而不舍的行动而实现了他们的梦想)”和最后一段“Please remember: Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality.(请记住：行动是将我们的梦想和目标与现实联系起来的桥梁)”可知，文章主要论述了要通过锲而不舍的行动来实现梦想和目标，C项“Realizing Dreams with Persistent Action (用锲而不舍的行动实现梦想)”能概括文章主旨，最适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 第三部分:写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 A poor little boy was at a loss (不知所措的) when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal, he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry, so she brought him a large glass of milk.He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much should I pay you?” “You needn’t pay anything,” she replied. “My mother has taught me never to accept paying for kindness.” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house, because of the young woman’s kindness and help, his faith (信心) in humanity (人性) had increased . Years later, the young woman became gravely ill. The local doctors were puzzled. They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists (专家) could be called in to study her rare disease (罕见的疾病). Dr.Howard Kelly, now famous, was called in for the consultation (咨询会) When he heard the name of the town she came from, he immediately rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life. After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill (账单) to him for approval (批准). He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she was positive that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off.Finally, she looked and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words ... “Paid in full with a glass of milk.” At this moment, she at once realized the medical expense was actually paid by the doctor himself. Tears of joy flooded her eyes as she prayed silently: “Thank you. Love has spread through human hearts and hands.” 56．What did the little boy pay for the milk? (no more than 5 words) 57．Why did the little boy believe more in humanity? (no more than 10 words) 58．What does the underlined word“gravely” mean in the third paragraph? (1 word) 59．Who paid the medical expense actually? (no more than 12 words) 60．What can you learn from the passage? (no more than 20 words) 【参考答案】56．He paid nothing. 57．Because of the young woman’s kindness and help. 58．Seriously. 59．Dr. Howard Kelly paid the medical expense. 60．Kindness brings rewards; love spreads through hearts and hands. 【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了一个贫穷小男孩得到一位年轻女子的一杯牛奶帮助，多年后成为医生的男孩回报女子恩情的故事，体现了善良与爱的传递。 【详情解析】 56．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“You needn’t pay anything,” she replied.(“你不需要支付任何费用，”她回答道。)可知，小男孩没有为牛奶付钱。故答案为He paid nothing. 57．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“As Howard Kelly left that house, because of the young woman’s kindness and help, his faith in humanity had increased. (当霍华德・凯利离开那所房子时，由于这位年轻女子的善良和帮助，他对人性的信心增强了。)”可知，小男孩因女子的善良和帮助而更相信人性。故答案为Because of the young woman’s kindness and help. 58．考查词句猜测。根据第三段中的“The local doctors were puzzled. They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists could be called in to study her rare disease.(当地医生感到困惑，最终将她送往大城市，邀请专家研究她的罕见疾病。)”可知，医生看到他的并感到困惑病送往大城市，由此可推断，此处指的是她的病情严重，所以划线单词的意思与“严重地”意义相近。故答案为Seriously. 59．考查细节理解。根据最后一段“At this moment, she at once realized the medical expense was actually paid by the doctor himself. (此时，她立刻意识到医疗费实际上是医生自己支付的。)”结合前文可知，“医生”即霍华德・凯利，由此可知，是霍华德・凯利医生支付的医药费。故答案为Dr. Howard Kelly paid the medical expense. 60．开放性题目。全文通过“一杯牛奶”的善举与回报，体现了善良会带来回报、爱通过心灵和双手传递的主题。故答案为Kindness brings rewards; love spreads through hearts and hands.(开放性试题，答案合理即可)。 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 61．假定你是李华，你所在社区计划举行中国传统文化节并准备在英文网站上邀请外国游客参加。请你给社区写一封邮件申请做文化节志愿者。内容包括： (1)写信目的；(2)个人优势；(3)希望获准。词数100左右。 Dear Sir or Madam, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【参考范文】 Dear Sir or Madam, Learning that volunteers are needed for the coming Chinese Traditional Culture Festival in our community, I’m delightedly writing to apply for the job.

He and his two older brothers were raised in wealth. Button began skating when he was five years old, using his brothers’ old skates. When Button was 11 years old, he received his first pair of skates for Christmas. His first coach did not believe he had any ability and would never learn to skate. Button’s parents found him another coach, Swiss-born Lussi. For the next ten years, during his summers off from school，Button would train with Lussi in Lake Placid, New York, where the 1932 Winter Olympics had been held. Button soon proved he had great natural ability. Combined with hard training and great coaching, he soon had success in competition. In 1943, he placed second at the Eastern States championships. Showing his competitive spirit, Button was unhappy with his second place win. Later that year, he won first title. Button competed in the 1947 World Championships. He placed second, though some believed Button should have won. Button decided to change his skating style. He became more daring in his free skate. To practise for the Olympics, Button competed in the 1948 European championships in Prague, Czechoslovakia. Not only did this competition assist Button in preparing for the Olympic games, but it allowed him to show off his newly developed style to the judges so that it might be more favorable later on. Button impressed the judges enough to win the title. At the 1948 Winter Olympics in St. Moritz, Switzerland, Button won the gold medal with his free skate. Button cemented his status as a leading skater. In the fall of 1948, Button entered Harvard University. He could have gone to Yale University, but Yale would not let him take time off to compete as a skater. In 1952, Button graduated with his B．A．In the same year, Button repeated his gold medal victory at the Olympic Games in Oslo, Norway. Again, Button achieved something no skater had done before. 36．What made Button decide to change his skating style? A．Being looked down upon by his first coach. B．Winning the second at the Eastern States championships. C．Winning the second at the World Championships. D．Winning the first in the European championships. 37．How many gold medals in all did Button win at Olympics? A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. 38．Which of the following statements is TRUE? A．Button was born in a poor family so he had to use his brothers’ old skates. B．Button was excited with the second place at the Eastern States championships. C．Both the two coaches thought he had the ability to skate. D．At an early age, Button showed great interest in skating. 39．What does the underlined word “cemented” in Para.6 mean? A．Established. B．Ruined. C．Shook. D．Threatened. 40．Button didn’t go to Yale University because ________. A．Yale required him to give up skating completely B．in his eyes Harvard was better than Yale C．he needed more free time to compete D．he had no confidence to graduate B An AI from Google DeepMind has achieved a silver medal score at this year’s International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), the first time any AI has made it to the podium (领奖台). The IMO is considered the world’s most famous competition for young mathematicians. In January, Google DeepMind demonstrated AlphaGeometry, an AI system that could answer some IMO geometry questions as well as humans. However, this was not from a live competition, and it couldn’t answer questions from other mathematical disciplines. Google DeepMind has now released a new AI, called AlphaProof, which can solve a wider range of mathematical problems. It is an improved version of AlphaGeometry that can solve more geometry questions. When the team tested both systems together on this year’s IMO questions, they answered four out of six questions correctly, giving them a score of 28 out of a possible 42 points. This was enough to win a silver medal and just one point under this year’s gold medal threshold (门槛). At the contest in Bath, UK, 58 competitors won a gold medal and 123 won a silver medal. “We are all very much aware that AI will eventually be better than humans at solving most mathematical problems, but the rate at which AI is improving is breathtaking,” says Gregor Dolinar, the IMO president. “Missing the gold medal at IMO 2024 by just one point a few days ago is truly impressive.” While AlphaProof’s performance is impressive, it works slowly, taking up to three days to find some solutions instead of the 4. 5 hours per three questions that competitors are allowed. It also failed to answer both questions on combinatorics, which is the study of counting and arranging numbers. “We are still working to understand why this is, which will hopefully lead us to improve the system,” says Alex Davies at Google DeepMind. 41．What do we know about AlphaProof in paragraph 3? A．Its all functions. B．Its potential clients. C．Its advantages over AlphaGeometry. D．Its abilities to analyse problems. 42．What can be learned about this year’s International Mathematical Olympiad? A．It took place in Bath, UK. B．There were 10 questions in the contest. C．181 competitors took part in the contest. D．This year’s gold medal threshold was 30 points. 43．What is one of the limitations of AlphaProof? A．It can only solve geometry-related problems. B．It is much slower than human competitors in answering questions. C．It has difficulty in understanding the basic concepts of mathematics. D．It requires a large amount of computing resources to function 44．What may be Alex Davies’ attitude to the development of AlphaProof? A．Neutral. B．Uncaring. C．Disapproving. D．Positive. 45．What’s the best title of the text? A．DeepMind AI Gets Silver Medal at IMO 2024 B．DeepMind AI Is Developed to Take Part in IMO 2024 C．AI Manages to Solve Difficult Mathematical Problems Well D．AI Will Be Better than Humans at Solving Mathematical Problems C Large rocks formed one wall of Diana Kennedy’s home in Zitácuaro, around 170 kilometers west of Mexico City. Her gardens were full of herbs and other eatable plants; the home itself was built of locally made, often recycled materials. Shortly after her death, Mexico’s Culture Ministry called Quinta Diana, as she named her home, “an example of sustainability and conservation of nature and biodiversity”. Ms. Kennedy bought the land in 1980 and it expanded in the following years. Born in Loughton, United Kingdom in 1923, Diana Kennedy had no formal culinary (relating to cooking) training and tried a variety of jobs. She went to Mexico in 1957 to marry Paul P. Kennedy and she soon began working on her first book, The Cuisines of Mexico, which was published in 1972. The plural (复数形式) was intentional: no English-speaking writer before her was determined to seek out and celebrate the wide range of Mexican food and cooking. She had seen Mexico modernize and develop, and she drew people’s attention to the culinary disadvantages: the increasing use of convenient but poor corn flour rather than earthy, sweet fresh corn flour; the tendency to rush rather than enjoy preparing food; the disappearing of Mexico’s forests. She was more a culinary anthropologist (人类学家) than an inventor. She didn’t create recipes; she gathered them, testing them dozens of times until the taste was as she remembered when she first tried them. She had great confidence in her approach, taking 14 years to research her final book, Oaxaca al Gusto: An Infinite Gastronomy, which was devoted to the state’s deliciously complex cuisine. It won a James Beard Award for Cookbook of the Year, She was a strong advocate of traditional dishes. She understood that Mexican cuisine often has a sort of austerity (朴素), using few ingredients at the peak of their ripeness, and prepared to let every flavor shine. She was deeply doubtful about culinary innovation and angry about the debasing (质量降低) of what she rightly considered as the world’s great cuisine. 46．What does Quinta Diana symbolize? A．A long history. B．A special garden design. C．Unique Mexican culture. D．The concept of environmental protection. 47．What can we learn about Diana Kennedy? A．She introduced a variety of Mexican dishes in her first book. B．She bought Quinta Diana soon after she moved to Mexico. C．She was a well-trained cook before becoming a writer. D．She married Paul P. Kennedy in Loughton in 1957. 48．Which statement would Diana Kennedy agree with? A．Food should be prepared for quite a long time. B．Corn flour is not the best choice for Mexican cuisine. C．More ingredients should be added to Mexican cuisine. D．Food shouldn’t be made at the cost of damaging its nature. 49．What’s Diana Kennedy’s attitude towards some novel dishes? A．Unclear. B．Disapproving. C．Supportive. D．Tolerant. 50．Which of the following words can best describe Diana Kennedy? A．Confident and sensitive. B．Optimistic and ambitious. C．Cooperative and generous. D．Determined and responsible. D Each of us has dreams and goals for our future. What makes us study and make progress each day is closely connected with our personal dream and goal. But why do you have dreams and goals, you still end up with nothing? What separates successful people from the dreamers is their persistent (锲而不舍的) action. When you learn your lessons in school, you must work hard and not give up. You will often find some of your lessons very hard. Try and keep trying, and you’ ll be sure to successfully deal with any difficulty you meet with. If we have a hard lesson today, let us try our best to learn it well and then we shall be prepared for a harder one tomorrow. This is the famous formula (公式) for success: Dream> Believe> Achieve Most people have what they want (Dream) and think they can realize their dreams (Believe) . And then they do nothing. They must imagine their dreams can come true. When they get tired of waiting and lose a lot, they get bored. They say angrily how terrible their life is. I personally believe that if you really want to achieve your dreams and goals in life, you have to add one thing to your success formula: Dream> Believe> Act> Achieve For me, act is the most important thing for success and that’s to Take Persistent Action (Act). If you say, “I can’t do it” and give up, you can never do anything valuable. However, “I’ll try” creates wonders. Let’s remember that there will be obstacles in our life. We must face them bravely and solve them. Success is not something that falls down from the sky. Most successful people made their dreams come true because of their persistent action. Please remember: Action is the bridge that connects our dreams and goals to reality. 51．What should you do when you find your lessons very hard? A．Ask people for help. B．Try and keep trying. C．Get ready to create wonders. D．Prepare for a harder one. 52．Which does the writer add to the famous formula? A．Act. B．Achieve. C．Connect. D．Create. 53．What does the underlined word “obstacles” mean? A．危险 B．想象 C．奇迹 D．困难 54．Why does the writer use the formula “Dream> Believe> Act> Achieve”? A．To support his idea. B．To ask readers to explain it. C．To show what his goals are. D．To compare it with a bridge. 55．What would be the best title for the text? A．Doing Something Valuable B．Studying Hard and Making Progress C．Realizing Dreams with Persistent Action D．Separating Successful People from Dreams 第三部分:写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 A poor little boy was at a loss (不知所措的) when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal, he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry, so she brought him a large glass of milk.He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much should I pay you?” “You needn’t pay anything,” she replied. “My mother has taught me never to accept paying for kindness.” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house, because of the young woman’s kindness and help, his faith (信心) in humanity (人性) had increased . Years later, the young woman became gravely ill. The local doctors were puzzled. They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists (专家) could be called in to study her rare disease (罕见的疾病). Dr.Howard Kelly, now famous, was called in for the consultation (咨询会) When he heard the name of the town she came from, he immediately rose and went down through the hospital hall into her room. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room and determined to do his best to save her life. After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill (账单) to him for approval (批准). He looked at it and then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she was positive that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off.Finally, she looked and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention. She read these words ... “Paid in full with a glass of milk.” At this moment, she at once realized the medical expense was actually paid by the doctor himself. Tears of joy flooded her eyes as she prayed silently: “Thank you. Love has spread through human hearts and hands.” 56．What did the little boy pay for the milk?
