While in the eighth grade, he failed subjects repeatedly. High school wasn’t much better, he flunked Latin, algebra, English, and received a grade of zero in physics. The boy managed to make the school golf team, but he lost the most important golf match of the season. It’s not that his peers disliked this boy. It’s just that they never really seemed to notice him much. Even “Hellos” in the hall were hardly said. Out of all the failures in his life, there was something that did hold great importance to this boy, his love of drawing. Although in high school, the cartoons he made were rejected. Once out of school, the boy was so sure of his artistic talent that he went to find Walt Disney Studios with drawing works. I wish I could say the studios loved his work and immediately hired him, but such was not the case; another huge rejection. Despite his lack of successes, this boy did not give up. He then decided to write his own autobiography in cartoons, about a little boy who was regarded as a loser and a nobody. The name of this boy was Charles Schulz, the creator of the famous Charlie Brown and comic dog Snoopy. In life, it is sometimes easy to feel like a nobody. We pass hundreds of people on the street on our way to work, or walk through a faceless crowd in a mall, and no one seems to notice or care. Deep inside, we may know we are special and unique and have lots to offer, but unless someone takes the time to look our way and give us a chance, we may feel worthless, just like Charlie Brown who couldn’t even manage to fly a kite or kick a football properly. Just as Charles Schulz had faith in his artistic talent, so too, we must realize that nobody is a nobody. We all have special gifts and talents, and every human being is deserving and capable of being loved and appreciated. 31. The underlined word “flunked” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________. A. failed B. learned C. achieved D. misunderstood 32. What can we know about the boy? A. He was hated by his peers. B. He achieved great success in drawing in high school. C. His work was refused by Walt Disney Studios. D. He got the praise from Walt Disney Studios. 33. What can we infer in Paragraph 5? A. We need to open up our eyes. B. We need to believe in our own value and worth. C. We need to learn more skills for development. D. We need to ask for more praise and love. 34. Which is the right structure of the passage? (①= Paragraph 1 ②= Paragraph 2…) A. ①②/③/④/⑤/⑥ B. ①/②③④/⑤/⑥ C. ①/②/③④/⑤/⑥ D. ①②/③/④/⑤⑥ 35. What does the underlined sentence mean? A. Self-confidence leads to success, as shown by Schulz. B. Hard work matters more than talent. C. Talented people should keep trying after being turned down. D. All people have value, just as Schulz believed in his worth. B As he drives slowly across snow, Nils Mathis Sara drops food on the ground for hundreds of his reindeer (驯鹿) to eat. His animals live in Finnmark, the northernmost point of Norway. But Sara wishes he did not have to feed them. This year the snow is too thick and hard, making it impossible for the reindeer to reach their food. “This is an emergency situation,” said Sara. “I am not supposed to feed them. They are supposed to feed me.” Sara is part of the Sami community, which comes from the northern regions of Norway. Normally, the reindeer find their own food. They dig through the snow to reach small plants, called lichen (地衣), buried below. But every winter for the past ten years, Sara has had to buy food to help the animals live through the cold season. Winter temperatures in the area can drop to minus 40 degrees. Previously, only snow fell during winter months, but recently, warmer temperatures have brought rain instead. Then, when the temperature drops, that water turns to ice. The thick ice makes it difficult for the reindeer to reach the lichen. “It is especially hard for the younger reindeer, as their feet are not strong enough to break through,” Sara said. One morning in March, Sara and a relative provided about 1,500 kilograms of food for the reindeer. They’ve been doing the same thing every other day since February. Though reindeer are semi-wild animals, regular feeding changes their natural behavior. Normally, herders (牧人) follow the animals as they look for food under the snow. But feeding the animals makes them slowly become less wild and depend more on humans. This makes the Sami people live more like farmers than herders. Sara says this goes against the Sami’s traditional way of living. “When we feed the reindeer, they change their behavior and become more used to humans,” Sara said. 36. What does the underlined phrase “emergency situation” most likely mean? A. Normal situation. B. Unforeseen event. C. Long-term plan. D. Expected event. 37. Which statement about the reindeer is TRUE? A. They have got used to climate changes. B. They are as wild as before. C. They can break through ice easily. D. They search under snow to find their food. 38. What is the author’s attitude toward the impact of climate change on the Sami community? A. Positive about overcoming climate change. B. Worried about traditional lifestyle threats. C. Indifferent about climate changes. D. Supportive of government action. 39. What can be inferred about the Sami community’s traditional way of living? A. It includes providing food for reindeer. B. It relies on modern farming techniques. C. It faces challenges due to feeding reindeer. D. It remains unchanged despite climate changes. 40. What is the best title of the text? A. The Challenges Reindeer Herders Face in Finnmark B. Nils Mathis Sara: A Modern Sami Herder C. The Impact of Climate Change on Reindeer Behavior D. Traditional vs. Modern Herding C Should we hand over every job to machines? Should we develop non-human minds that might eventually become more intelligent than humans and finally replace us? Should we risk losing control of our own future? These questions were asked by many scientists last month in a science meeting. In most people’s minds, the rapid development of AI is of great help to humans. For example, AI has helped humans develop new medicine and design new materials to help with climate change. When ChatGPT, a program developed by OpenAI, was first open to the public, it gained a million users in just one week, with that number quickly growing to 100 million within two months. It was widely used to do things like writing articles and creating speeches. However, some have started to worry. Will AI go against humans one day? Will AI take our place and all the people lose their jobs? Will bad people use AI to harm others? These worries make scientists stop developing AI and start to think about better ways to use this technology. Most of them agree that laws should be made to make sure that AI is used safely. Many governments are already taking action, though differently. For example, the UK, as well as the US,opens its arms for AI without any rules other than present ones because it regards it as a huge market. But Germany is more careful. It puts uses of AI in different areas into different levels of risk. Uses in some areas are not allowed, and companies that break the rules will be punished. Making laws is the government’s duty. For us common people, it may be more important to think about how we can work more effectively with Al. 41. How does the writer start this passage? A. By giving numbers. B. By comparing some facts. C. By raising questions. D. By giving some examples. 42. Why do the UK and the US open their arms for AI? A. Because they think AI brings good business. B. Because they have the best AI technology. C. Because they have a large market. D. Because they think AI is safe enough. 43. What do we know about Paragraph 6? A. The UK and the US don’t have rules for AI. B. Different countries deal with AI in different ways. C. Germany does not allow any use of AI. D. All countries are still thinking about Al rules. 44. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Many governments agreed to stop developing AI. B. ChatGPT was used by up to 100 million people within two months. C. The UK and Germany handle AI in the same way. D. AI can solve major climate change problems. 45. What may the writer talk about next? A. How will AI develop in the future? B. Why do we need laws for AI use? C. How can people cooperate with AI? D. How does AI help solve problems? 第二节 补全语篇。以下是一篇短文，请阅读全文，并从文后的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文的意思完整、连贯。 Cave paintings are the oldest pictures. Some of them are almost 30,000 years old.

It’s expressing its friendliness. A. describing B. producing C. showing D. developing 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你的猫真可爱！但它一直用尾巴碰我。 ——它喜欢你。它这是在表达它的友好。 考查动词辨析。describing描述；producing生产，制造；showing显示，表达；developing发展。根据“It likes you.”可知，此处是指猫的主人解释猫“用尾巴碰人”的行为本质——通过这个动作表达对“你”的喜爱和友好，因此划线单词“expressing”意为“表达”，与“showing”在此语境下含义最为接近，可以互换。故选C。 2. We do voluntary work to raise money for disabled children. A. borrow B. provide C. collect D. rise 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们做志愿工作是为残疾儿童筹集资金。 考查动词辨析。borrow借；provide提供；collect收集；rise上升。根据“We do voluntary work to raise money for disabled children”可推知，此处表示“筹集资金”的含义，“raise money”意思是“筹集资金”，与“collect money”表意一致。故选C。 3. The solution to the problem appears simple, but it actually requires careful thought. A. becomes B. seems C. turns D. feels 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：这个问题的解决方法看似简单，但实际上需要仔细思考。 考查动词辨析。becomes变得；seems似乎；turns转变，变成；feels感觉。appears表示“似乎”，和seems的意思一样，可以替换。故选B。 4. —Jack told me that you will have a trip to Shanghai this week. —Yes. We’ll set off on Monday and come back on Sunday. A. get off B. set up C. take off D. set out 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——杰克告诉我你们这周要去上海旅行。——是的。我们周一出发，周日回来。 考查动词短语辨析。get off下车；set up建立；take off脱下；set out出发。根据“have a trip to Shanghai this week”以及“come back on Sunday”，这里说周一的动作是“出发”，“set off”和“set out”都有“出发”之意。故选D。 5. The school meeting will take place in the hall tomorrow. A. start B. occur C. happen D. be held 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：学校会议将于明天在礼堂举行。 考查同义词替换。start开始，主要强调动作的起始；occur发生，多强调偶然、意外地出现；happen发生，侧重于事情偶然发生；be held被举行，是被动语态。 take place表示“举行”，会议的举办是有计划的，这里可以用be held替换，其他不符合语境。故选D。 ii)词汇选择：选出合适的单词完成句子，并在答题卡选择题答题区将相应的字母编号涂黑。(共5小题，每小题1分) 6. To ________ is to take and then let out a long deep breath because you are disappointed, sad or tired. A. sign B. sigh C. speak D. suggest 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：叹气就是因为你感到失望、悲伤或疲惫而深吸一口气然后呼出。 考查动词辨析。sign签名；sigh叹息，叹气；speak说话；suggest建议。根据“take and then let out a long deep breath”可知，这个短语描述了一个典型的动作，即深吸一口气然后呼出；而“because you are disappointed, sad or tired”则是在解释这个动作常见的原因：失望、悲伤或疲惫；据此可以推断，这个动作为sigh“叹气”。故选B。 7. If you know your own ________ of the shoes, I’ll buy you new ones as a gift. A. size B. weight C. height D. length 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：如果你知道自己的鞋码，我将会给你买双新鞋作为礼物。 考查名词辨析。size尺码；weight重量；height高度；length长度。根据“If you know your own…of the shoes”可推知，买鞋时需要知道的是尺码。故选A。 8. This shirt ________ your trousers well. Their colors really go together. A. matches B. suits C. fits D. mixes 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：这件衬衫和你的裤子很搭配。它们的颜色真的很协调。  考查动词辨析。matches搭配，指颜色、款式等相配；suits适合，多指颜色、款式等适合某人；fits合身，强调大小、尺寸合适；mixes混合。根据“Their colors really go together”可知，句子是在说衬衫和裤子在颜色上“搭配”得好。应用matches，故选A。 9. —I just watched a documentary about the Great Wall. What do you think of it? —Oh, I’ve heard it’s really something. Which of these words best describes it in your opinion? A. common B. uninteresting C. impressive D. boring 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我刚刚看了一部关于长城的纪录片。你觉得它怎么样？——哦，我听说它真的很了不起。在你看来，下面哪个词最能描述它？ 考查形容词辨析。common常见的；uninteresting无趣的；impressive给人印象深刻的；boring无聊的。something“重要的人 (或事)；了不起的事物；令人印象深刻的事物”，表达积极、赞赏的态度，C项符合。故选C。 10. A ________ is a place where a group of people live for a long time. A. hotel B. home C. college D. community 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：社区就是一群人长期居住的地方。 考查名词辨析。hotel旅馆，酒店；home家，家庭；college大学，学院；community社区。根据“a place where a group of people live for a long time”可知，指的是一群人长期居住的地方，community指由一定数量居民组成、长期共同生活在某一区域的群体及其居住环境，完全符合“一群人”和“长期居住”这两个条件。故选D。 iii)语法选择：选择与句意最贴近的选项，并在答题卡选择题答题区将相应的字母编号涂黑。(共10小题，每小题1分) 11. — How was your trip to Sanya with your family last week, Sally? —It was ________. All my family were ________ with it. A. pleasant; pleased B. pleased; pleased C. pleased; pleasant D. pleasant; pleasant 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——Sally，上周你和家人的三亚之旅怎么样？ ——旅途很愉快。我们全家都很满意。 考查形容词辨析。pleasant令人愉快的，形容词，指事物本身的属性，用来描述事物使人感觉愉快，主语通常是物；pleased感到高兴的，感到满意的，形容词，指人的主观感受，主语通常是人，常用结构为：be pleased with...“对……感到满意”。第一个空：主语是“It”，指代“trip to Sanya”，因此这里需要描述“旅行”本身的属性，即“这次旅行是令人愉快的”，应用“pleasant”，排除B和C；第二个空：主语是All my family“我的所有家人”，是“人”，并且空格后是“with it”，符合“be pleased with”的固定搭配，应用“pleased”，排除D。故选A。 12. — Ms. Wang, I have difficulty ________ the article. — Remember ________ it three times at least. A. to understand; reading B. understanding; reading C. understanding; to read D. to understand; to read 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——王老师，我理解这篇文章有困难。——记住至少要读三遍。 考查非谓语动词。have difficulty (in) doing sth是固定搭配，表示“做某事有困难”，所以第一空用 understanding，故排除A和D；remember to do sth表示“记得要做某事（未做）”；remember doing sth表示“记得做过某事（已做）”。根据“Remember to read it three times at least”可推知此处强调“记得要去读（尚未读）”所以第二空用to read。故选C。 13. The scarf which is ________ silk ________ soft and comfortable. A. made from; feels B. made of; feels C. made in; smells D. made up of; smells 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：由丝绸制作的围巾摸起来柔软且舒适。 考查被动语态和系动词。be made of由……制成，后接能直接看出原材料的物品；be made from由……制成，后接不能直接看出原材料的物品；be made up of由……组成；feels摸起来；smells闻起来。根据产品“The scarf”和原材料“silk”可知，能直接看出原材料，故用be made of；根据“soft and comfortable”可知，是触觉，用feels。故选B。 14. ________ tasks too hard will cause students ________ easily. A. Make; to give up B. Make; give up C. Making; to give up D. Making; give up 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：把任务设置得太难会导致学生轻易放弃。 考查非谓语动词。 根据题干可知，空一是作主语，应该用动名词，排除A和B；空二是cause sb to do sth“导致某人做某事”，此处用动词不定式。故选C。 15. Although Sarah ________ to finish her report before midnight, she kept ________ by her favorite TV show. A. hoped; being distracted B. hopes; distracting C. hoped; to be distracted D. hoping; distracted 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：尽管莎拉希望能在午夜前完成她报告，但她不断被她最喜欢的电视节目分散注意力。 考查动词时态和非谓语动词。 根据“kept”可知，此句是一般过去时，hope用过去式，排除BD选项；keep doing sth“一直做某事”，所以这里用动名词结构，排除C。故选A。 16. — Kate feels ________ because she is new here. —I think you should offer ________ friends with her. You are classmates. A. lonely; to make B. alone; making C. lonely; making D. alone; to make 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——凯特感到孤独，因为她是新来的。——我认为你应该主动提出和她交朋友。你们是同班同学。 考查动词短语和形容词词义辨析。alone独自的(形容词)，独自地(副词)；lonely孤独的(形容词)；make制作，让，动词原形。making 是现在分词。make friends交朋友。根据“because she is new here”可知，凯特是新来的，所以她感到孤独，第一空应该用lonely。第二个空格主要是关于动词offer的用法，offer to do sth.意为“主动提出做某事”，需要用一个动词不定式，所以第二空填to make。故选A。 17. —I’m thinking about whether the dog needs ________. — It ________ after returning from camping. A. washing; is smelt badly B. to wash; smells badly C. washing; smells bad D. to be washed; is smelted bad 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我在想这只狗是否需要洗一洗。——它露营回来后闻起来很臭。 考查非谓语动词和感官动词的用法。need doing表示“需要被……”，因此第一空选washing，指“狗需要被洗”。smell是系动词，后接形容词作表语，“bad”是形容词，“badly”是副词，所以第二空用smells bad，表示“闻起来臭”。故选C。 18. The boy is too busy ________ his father because he is busy ________ for the exams. A. writing to, studying B. to write to, study C. to write to, studying D. writing to, study 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：男孩太忙而没能写信给他的爸爸，因为他在忙着考试。 考查不定式结构和动名词。根据语境，第一空是“太……而不能”too...to，所以是to write to；第二空be busy doing，所以是studying。故选C。 19. — Come and see! The baby is crying. —Please do something to make him . A. stop crying B. stop to cry C. crying D. cry 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——过来看看！婴儿在哭。 ——做点什么让他别哭了。 A. stop crying 停止哭；B. stop to cry停下来去哭；C. crying动名词；D. cry动词原形。make sb . do sth. 使某人做某事，make后跟动词原形，排除C；还考查了stop的用法。stop doing sth. 是停止做某事；stop to do sth. 是停下来做另一件事。结合语境：The baby is crying. 婴儿在哭。可知，应该是做点什么让婴儿别哭了，也就是停止哭，使用stop doing sth.。故答案选A。 20. —What can we do ________ the park? —Some rules should ________ to make the park clean. A. to protect; be made B. to protect; to make C. be protected; be made D. be protected; to make 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我们能做些什么保护公园呢？——应该制定一些规则来使公园干净。 考查动词不定式和被动语态。根据“What can we do”可知，“我们做什么”目的是保护公园，动词不定式作目的状语，排除C、D；第二句中“rules”和“make”之间是被动关系，即“规则被制定”，应用被动语态，其结构是“be+done”，should是情态动词，后面用原形be。故选A。 V.完型填空 (共10 分，每小题1分) 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从下面每题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案，并在答题卡选择题答题区将相应的字母编号涂黑。 (共10小题，每小题1分) I used to be the shyest person in the world.

While in the eighth grade, he failed subjects repeatedly. High school wasn’t much better, he flunked Latin, algebra, English, and received a grade of zero in physics. The boy managed to make the school golf team, but he lost the most important golf match of the season. It’s not that his peers disliked this boy. It’s just that they never really seemed to notice him much. Even “Hellos” in the hall were hardly said. Out of all the failures in his life, there was something that did hold great importance to this boy, his love of drawing. Although in high school, the cartoons he made were rejected. Once out of school, the boy was so sure of his artistic talent that he went to find Walt Disney Studios with drawing works. I wish I could say the studios loved his work and immediately hired him, but such was not the case; another huge rejection. Despite his lack of successes, this boy did not give up. He then decided to write his own autobiography in cartoons, about a little boy who was regarded as a loser and a nobody. The name of this boy was Charles Schulz, the creator of the famous Charlie Brown and comic dog Snoopy. In life, it is sometimes easy to feel like a nobody. We pass hundreds of people on the street on our way to work, or walk through a faceless crowd in a mall, and no one seems to notice or care. Deep inside, we may know we are special and unique and have lots to offer, but unless someone takes the time to look our way and give us a chance, we may feel worthless, just like Charlie Brown who couldn’t even manage to fly a kite or kick a football properly. Just as Charles Schulz had faith in his artistic talent, so too, we must realize that nobody is a nobody. We all have special gifts and talents, and every human being is deserving and capable of being loved and appreciated. 31. The underlined word “flunked” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________. A. failed B. learned C. achieved D. misunderstood 32. What can we know about the boy? A. He was hated by his peers. B. He achieved great success in drawing in high school. C. His work was refused by Walt Disney Studios. D. He got the praise from Walt Disney Studios. 33. What can we infer in Paragraph 5? A. We need to open up our eyes. B. We need to believe in our own value and worth. C. We need to learn more skills for development. D. We need to ask for more praise and love. 34. Which is the right structure of the passage? (①= Paragraph 1 ②= Paragraph 2…) A. ①②/③/④/⑤/⑥ B. ①/②③④/⑤/⑥ C. ①/②/③④/⑤/⑥ D. ①②/③/④/⑤⑥ 35. What does the underlined sentence mean? A. Self-confidence leads to success, as shown by Schulz. B. Hard work matters more than talent. C. Talented people should keep trying after being turned down. D. All people have value, just as Schulz believed in his worth. 【答案】31. A 32. C 33. B 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了《花生漫画》创作者查尔斯・舒尔茨的真实经历：他曾是众人眼中的“失败者”—— 中学多门功课不及格、高尔夫比赛失利、画作多次被拒，但他始终未放弃对绘画的热爱，最终通过创作以“失败者”查理・布朗为主角的漫画闻名世界。文章借此传递“每个人都有独特价值，无人是‘无名之辈’”的信念。 【31题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“he failed subjects repeatedly”和后文“received a grade of zero in physics”，可推测“flunked Latin, algebra, English”与“不及格”意思一致，因此“flunked”最接近“failed”。故选A。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Once out of school, the boy... went to find Walt Disney Studios with drawing works... another huge rejection”可知，他的作品被迪士尼工作室拒绝。故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Deep inside, we may know we are special and unique and have lots to offer, but unless someone takes the time to look our way and give us a chance, we may feel worthless”可知，此处强调内心深处我们知道自己独特且有价值，但容易因他人忽视而感到无用。由此可推断，我们需要相信自己的价值，而非依赖他人认可。故选B。 【34题详解】 篇章结构题。①段：总起，引出“一个被认为是‘失败者’的男孩”的故事；②③④段：分述男孩（查尔斯・舒尔茨）的经历 —— 中学失败、向迪士尼投稿被拒、最终创作《花生漫画》成功；⑤段：联系现实，说明人们常因被忽视而感到自己是“无名之辈”；⑥段：总结主旨，强调“无人是无名之辈，每个人都有独特价值”。因此结构划分为①/②③④/⑤/⑥。故选B。 【35题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Charles Schulz had faith in his artistic talent”和“we must realize that nobody is a nobody”并结合后文“We all have special gifts and talents”可知，句子核心是“正如舒尔茨相信自己的价值，我们也应明白每个人都有价值”。故选D。 B As he drives slowly across snow, Nils Mathis Sara drops food on the ground for hundreds of his reindeer (驯鹿) to eat. His animals live in Finnmark, the northernmost point of Norway. But Sara wishes he did not have to feed them. This year the snow is too thick and hard, making it impossible for the reindeer to reach their food. “This is an emergency situation,” said Sara. “I am not supposed to feed them. They are supposed to feed me.” Sara is part of the Sami community, which comes from the northern regions of Norway. Normally, the reindeer find their own food. They dig through the snow to reach small plants, called lichen (地衣), buried below. But every winter for the past ten years, Sara has had to buy food to help the animals live through the cold season. Winter temperatures in the area can drop to minus 40 degrees. Previously, only snow fell during winter months, but recently, warmer temperatures have brought rain instead. Then, when the temperature drops, that water turns to ice. The thick ice makes it difficult for the reindeer to reach the lichen. “It is especially hard for the younger reindeer, as their feet are not strong enough to break through,” Sara said. One morning in March, Sara and a relative provided about 1,500 kilograms of food for the reindeer. They’ve been doing the same thing every other day since February. Though reindeer are semi-wild animals, regular feeding changes their natural behavior. Normally, herders (牧人) follow the animals as they look for food under the snow. But feeding the animals makes them slowly become less wild and depend more on humans. This makes the Sami people live more like farmers than herders. Sara says this goes against the Sami’s traditional way of living. “When we feed the reindeer, they change their behavior and become more used to humans,” Sara said. 36. What does the underlined phrase “emergency situation” most likely mean? A. Normal situation. B. Unforeseen event. C. Long-term plan. D. Expected event. 37. Which statement about the reindeer is TRUE? A. They have got used to climate changes. B. They are as wild as before. C. They can break through ice easily. D. They search under snow to find their food. 38. What is the author’s attitude toward the impact of climate change on the Sami community? A. Positive about overcoming climate change. B. Worried about traditional lifestyle threats. C. Indifferent about climate changes. D. Supportive of government action. 39. What can be inferred about the Sami community’s traditional way of living? A. It includes providing food for reindeer. B. It relies on modern farming techniques. C. It faces challenges due to feeding reindeer. D. It remains unchanged despite climate changes. 40. What is the best title of the text? A. The Challenges Reindeer Herders Face in Finnmark B. Nils Mathis Sara: A Modern Sami Herder C. The Impact of Climate Change on Reindeer Behavior D. Traditional vs. Modern Herding 【答案】36. B 37. D 38. B 39. C 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了气候变化给芬马克的驯鹿牧人带来的各种困难和挑战。 【36题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“This year the snow is too thick and hard, making it impossible for the reindeer to reach their food.”可知，此处在描述紧急的情况，因此划线单词的意思是“紧急情况”，B选项“不可预见的事件”符合。故选B。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Normally, the reindeer find their own food. They dig through the snow to reach small plants, called lichen (地衣), buried below.”可知，驯鹿会在雪下寻找食物。故选D。 【38题详解】 观点态度题。根据“Sara says this goes against the Sami’s traditional way of living.”可知，作者描述了气候变化对萨米人传统生活的冲击，表现出对威胁的担忧。故选B。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Normally, herders (牧人) follow the animals as they look for food under the snow.

Should we develop non-human minds that might eventually become more intelligent than humans and finally replace us? Should we risk losing control of our own future? These questions were asked by many scientists last month in a science meeting. In most people’s minds, the rapid development of AI is of great help to humans. For example, AI has helped humans develop new medicine and design new materials to help with climate change. When ChatGPT, a program developed by OpenAI, was first open to the public, it gained a million users in just one week, with that number quickly growing to 100 million within two months. It was widely used to do things like writing articles and creating speeches. However, some have started to worry. Will AI go against humans one day? Will AI take our place and all the people lose their jobs? Will bad people use AI to harm others? These worries make scientists stop developing AI and start to think about better ways to use this technology. Most of them agree that laws should be made to make sure that AI is used safely. Many governments are already taking action, though differently. For example, the UK, as well as the US,opens its arms for AI without any rules other than present ones because it regards it as a huge market. But Germany is more careful. It puts uses of AI in different areas into different levels of risk. Uses in some areas are not allowed, and companies that break the rules will be punished. Making laws is the government’s duty. For us common people, it may be more important to think about how we can work more effectively with Al. 41. How does the writer start this passage? A. By giving numbers. B. By comparing some facts. C. By raising questions. D. By giving some examples. 42. Why do the UK and the US open their arms for AI? A. Because they think AI brings good business. B. Because they have the best AI technology. C. Because they have a large market. D. Because they think AI is safe enough. 43. What do we know about Paragraph 6? A. The UK and the US don’t have rules for AI. B. Different countries deal with AI in different ways. C. Germany does not allow any use of AI. D. All countries are still thinking about Al rules. 44. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Many governments agreed to stop developing AI. B. ChatGPT was used by up to 100 million people within two months. C. The UK and Germany handle AI in the same way. D. AI can solve major climate change problems. 45. What may the writer talk about next? A. How will AI develop in the future? B. Why do we need laws for AI use? C. How can people cooperate with AI? D. How does AI help solve problems? 【答案】41. C 42. A 43. B 44. B 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，围绕人工智能发展展开讨论，介绍了人们对人工智能的不同看法，以及各国应对人工智能的不同举措。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第1段“Should we…of our own future?”，可知作者通过提出问题开启文章，故选C。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第6段“For example, the UK, as well as the US, opens its arms for AI without any rules other than present ones because it regards it as a huge market.”，“regards it as a huge market” 意味着认为人工智能能带来好的商业机会，所以英美对人工智能张开怀抱是因为觉得其能带来好生意，故选A。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第6段“Many governments are already taking action, though differently. For example... But Germany is more careful.”，列举了英国、美国、德国不同的应对人工智能方式，可知不同国家应对人工智能的方式不同，故选B。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第3段“When ChatGPT, a program developed by OpenAI, was first open to the public, it gained a million users in just one week, with that number quickly growing to 100 million within two months.”，可知两个月内有1亿人使用ChatGPT，故选B。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“For us common people, it may be more important to think about how we can work more effectively with AI.”（对于我们普通人来说，思考如何能更有效地与人工智能合作可能更重要），可推知接下来作者可能会探讨人们如何与人工智能合作，故选C。 第二节 补全语篇。以下是一篇短文，请阅读全文，并从文后的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中，使原文的意思完整、连贯。 Cave paintings are the oldest pictures. Some of them are almost 30,000 years old. Many of these paintings show animals or hunting scenes (狩猎场景). They do not have written words on them. But when we look at them, we get an idea of the feelings the people had when drawing them. The paintings tell stories of hopes and fears. ____46____ Sometime between 4,000 and 3,000 BC, the skill of writing was developed in Egypt and Mesopotamia. People cut texts on stones first. _____47_____ But it was impossible to carry stones from place to place. The invention of papyrus (莎草纸) allowed documents to be moved easily. More than 3,000 years ago, the ancient Chinese people cut words on bones and shells. These words are called jiaguwen. It is the writing system that has developed over thousands of years into today’s hanzi. People made the first books from papyrus and from thin animal skins. Around 105 AD, paper-making skill was improved after the invention of paper in China. ____48____ It was published on May 11, 868 AD. In the middle of the 15th century, the printing machine was invented in Germany. Since that time, a huge number of books have been printed worldwide. ____49____ Books will be around for many years, of course. But some people prefer reading electronic books. _____50_____ Now you can buy your books whenever you want without having to leave the comfort of your home. A.

But when we look at them, we get an idea of the feelings the people had when drawing them. The paintings tell stories of hopes and fears.”可知，洞穴壁画没有文字，但能传递人们的情感和故事 (希望与恐惧)，此空位于第一段末尾，需要总结洞穴壁画的性质；选项D“它们是无需读写的早期交流形式。”既呼应了“无文字”的特点，又总结了其作为交流方式的本质，与上文衔接紧密。故选D。 【47题详解】 根据上文“People cut texts on stones first.”可知，人们最初把文本刻在石头上，而下文则开始讲石头不便携带的缺点和莎草纸的发明。因此，此处需要一句能定义“刻在石头上的文字”的话；选项B“它们是书面沟通的一种早期形式。”准确地描述了这一现象，并自然引出了下文对书写材料改进的说明。故选B。 【48题详解】 根据上文“Around 105 AD, paper-making skill was improved after the invention of paper in China.”和下文“It was published on May 11, 868 AD.”可知，中国改进了造纸术，而下文指出它于公元868年5月11日出版，这里的“It”必然指代空格中提到的那个具体对象；选项C“世界上已知最古老的印刷书籍也来自中国。”既衔接了中国的造纸术背景，又引出了具体的印刷书籍实例，与下文的出版时间呼应。故选C。 【49题详解】 根据上文“In the middle of the 15th century, the printing machine was invented in Germany. Since that time, a huge number of books have been printed worldwide.”和下文“Books will be around for many years, of course.”可知，上文介绍了印刷术发明和书籍大量生产，而下一段则提到书籍还会存在很多年。因此，这里需要一句能总结印刷书籍带来的价值和意义的话，这为下文“书籍会长期存在”的论断提供强有力的支持；选项F“对许多人来说，在图书馆阅读是人生最大的乐趣之一。”表达了书籍带给人们的乐趣，是最佳总结。故选F。 【50题详解】 根据上文“But some people prefer reading electronic books.”可知，有些人更喜欢阅读电子书，因此，这里需填入一个句子，来解释为什么“有些人更喜欢电子书”，即给出电子书的一个具体优点；选项A“旅行时它们更容易随身携带。”恰好阐述了电子书的一个核心优势——便携性，也完美地解释了前句“有些人更喜欢电子书”的原因。故选A。 VII.语法填空：用所给单词的适当形式填空，未提供单词的限填一词，将答案写在答题卡上。(共10小题，每小题1分) Once in a rich and ____51____ (peace) country, there lived an unhappy king.

Among paper-cutting, shadow puppet and dough figurine, I recommend shadow puppet. Shadow puppets are a fascinating part of Chinese culture. They are made by carefully carving and painting animal skins, usually donkey or ox skins. The process is elaborate, with each puppet featuring detailed designs, from the facial expressions of characters to the patterns on their clothes. When held up against a light source, these puppets create vivid and lifelike shadows, which is truly magical. Shadow puppet play has a profound cultural significance. It has been passed down for generations and often tells traditional Chinese stories, such as legends about heroes and historical events. By presenting shadow puppets to your family, you’re not just giving a physical gift but also introducing them to the rich heritage of China. Also, shadow puppets are small in size yet full of character, making them easy to pack and carry on your trip back home. I hope my recommendation helps you make a wonderful choice. Looking forward to your reply. Yours, Li Hua 例文② Dear Peter, I’m glad to hear that you want to bring a traditional Chinese gift for your family when you return to the UK. Among paper-cutting, shadow puppet and dough figurine, I recommend paper-cutting. Paper cutting is a unique and delicate art form in China with a long history. It involves cutting paper into all kinds of beautiful patterns using scissors or knives. The patterns can be simple geometric shapes or complex images like flowers, birds, and people. Each piece of paper-cutting is a masterpiece, showing the amazing creativity and patience of Chinese artisans. It is not only a beautiful decoration but also full of cultural significance. In Chinese culture, it is often used during festivals and special occasions to express good wishes. For example, the red paper-cutting of the Chinese character “福” (fu), meaning happiness and good fortune, is pasted on doors during the Spring Festival. By bringing paper-cutting back to your family, you are sharing a slice of Chinese cultural heritage. What’s more, paper-cutting is lightweight and easy to carry, which is very convenient for your long-distance journey. I hope my recommendation helps you make a wonderful choice. Looking forward to your reply. Yours, Li Hua 例文③ Dear Peter, I’m glad to hear that you want to bring a traditional Chinese gift for your family when you return to the UK.
