Last time you said you were learning Chinese but encountered some difficulties. It's inevitable because English emphasizes the structure, while Chinese focuses on the meaning. With regard to the matter you mentioned in your letter, my suggestions are as follows. First, I would recommend you to find a native speaker as a language partner, and meet with him on a regular basis. Besides, watching Chinese movies and listening to Chinese songs can make the learning process much more interesting. Last but not least, as an old saying goes, the meaning of one book will appear after you have read it many times. So read as many Chinese books，magazines and newspapers as possible, which will help you to expand your vocabulary. Those are the tips on my mind now. I would always be pleased to offer you help. I do hope you will find these proposals practical. Yours, Li Hua 读后续写答案：本文讲的是我和好朋友宣杰半夜去看日出，当我们看完日出回来的时候，因为太激动，没有看到小河边的警告：早晨6点到10点之间放水，所以我们的车被困在水中。 Xuan Jie attempted to back the car but it didn't work. The water level was rising grfadually, and panic welled up in our hearts. We shouted for help, yet the desolate surroundings seemed to swallow our voices. I fumbled for my phone, only to find there was no signal. Xuan Jie tried to keep calm, looking for any possible way out. We grabbed the emergency hammer, ready to break the window if the situation worsened. Finally, the rescue team arrived. Seeing the rescuers, hope surged within us. They swiftly assessed the situation and used ropes and a winch to pull the car out. With their professional efforts, we were safely rescued. Sitting on the bank, we were drenched but relieved. This experience made us realize the importance of heeding warnings and the value of teamwork in times of crisis. 阅读理解 A【语篇解读】 本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个农场的采摘活动。 【答案解析】 1. D 细节理解题。根据Shlagel Farms部分中的“Shlagel also offers farm-raised beef, pork, and chicken”可知，该农场提供畜产品，有别于Wegmeyer Farms。故选D。 2. C 细节理解题。根据Mackintosh Fruit Farm部分中的“Plan on lunch while you’re there...

stressed, dampened, hurt in a passive state of mind, for you're aware that misfortune keeps taking place nonstop, it's highly crucial to convert passive thoughts into something uplifting.(当你处于紧张、沮丧、受伤的消极心态时，因为你知道不幸总是不停地发生，把消极的想法转变成令人振奋的事情是非常重要的。)”可知，在遭遇不幸的时候，将消极的想法转变成积极的想法是非常重要的，B选项“If not, you'll only induce more misfortunes.(否则，你只会招来更多的不幸。)”讲述的内容与空前内容相对应，符合语境。故选B项。 17．G　根据空前的“It's often difficult to think positively if most things around you are passive, yet assure yourself that definitely someone is even worse than you.(如果大多数事情都是被动的，你通常很难积极地思考，但一定要相信肯定有人比你更糟糕。)”可知，如果始终处于被动的情况，想要积极思考有很大的困难，而空后的“When you kick off with one small but positive thing and adore it during the course of your day, you'll start to get into a more positive situation and hence people could begin turning up in your life and be a vital part of your life.(当你开始做一件小而积极的事情，并在一天中热爱它，你会开始进入一个更积极的情况，因此，人们可能会开始出现在你的生活中，成为你生活中至关重要的一部分。)”提到了，当从一些小的积极的事情开始做起，可能会进入到下一个积极的环境中，由此可推断，此空处应提到从小事做起开始转变，G选项“You could choose to consider differently by means of starting with the smallest steps.(你可以选择从最小的步骤开始进行不同的考虑。)”中的starting with the smallest steps与空后的kick off with one small but positive thing相吻合，且内容吻合。故选G项。 18．F　分析语篇并结合下文中的“Commence and conclude each day with a sentence of appreciation like‘Thank you for having me a fabulous and fresh day.’(每天开始和结束的时候都要说一句感谢的话，比如‘谢谢你让我度过了美好而清新的一天。’)”等内容可知，此处应为引出下文中的提供的练习的例子，F选项“Here are a few general instances for you to practise.(这里有几个通用的例子供你练习。)”的内容引出下文，符合题意。故选F项。 19．A　根据空前的“When you're really let down, read aloud and loudly what you wrote during the last days, weeks, months, etc.(当你真的失望的时候，大声朗读你在过去的几天、几周、几个月里写的东西。)”可知，建议在失望的时候，大声朗读自己写的让你感激的内容，结合空后的“If you can keep practising this in a regular manner, you'll ultimately find what you've been pursuing for so long.(如果你能坚持定期练习，你最终会发现你一直在追求的是什么。)”可知，此空处讲述的是大声朗读自己所写内容会带来什么效果，A选项“This will help uplift your spirits.(这将有助于提升你的精神。)”中的this指代的与上文中的“大声朗读自己写的内容”相吻合，且提出这样做的效果，与空前内容吻合。故选A项。 20．D　此空处位于文章最后，应是对本文的概括总结，根据空前的“Anyway, the very key is to get yourself dive into cheerful thoughts and ideas and then maintain them for long enough so as to attain the power of appreciation.(无论如何，关键是让自己沉浸在快乐的思想和想法中，然后保持它们足够长的时间，以获得感激的力量。)”可知，无论如何，要让自己沉浸在快乐中，让其保持足够长的时间，以获取欣赏带来的力量，D选项“The more you appreciate, the more delighted you'll feel.(你越感激，你就会感到越快乐。)”中的appreciate对应空前的appreciation，且讲述的内容承接了空前的内容，并总结概括了全文。故选D项。 完形填空 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位高中的建筑技术教师Dan McKena与学生为了让五岁的残疾儿童Ryder Killam不受风吹雨淋，一起为他建造了一个公交车站小屋的温馨故事。

While there, you can also pick up something to cook for dinner—Shlagel also offers farm-raised beef, pork, and chicken! It’s open for PYO from 8am–6pm seven days a week. Wegmeyer Farms | Loudoun County, VA With three locations in Northern Virginia, Wegmeyer offers a variety of strawberry picking experiences, as each location has a different setting.

B Sargassum, the invasive, sewage-scented seaweed piling up on beaches across the Caribbean, isn’t something most people look upon kindly. But for Omar Vazquez, his first meeting was “love at first sight”. “Everyone said, ‘It smells horrible!’ and I remember thinking, ‘There’s something more here,’” says Mr Vazquez, the founder of Sargablock, a small company that transforms the algae (海藻 ) into construction blocks. A record amount of sargassum is turning crystal blue Caribbean coast waters brown and smelling of rotten eggs as it rots in tourist spots from Mexico to Caribbean islands and now along the beaches of Florida’s east coast. In 2015, as part of his gardening business, Mr Vazquez launched a beach clean-up service to remove the leafy seaweed. But, as its arrival intensified, he started considering how to turn it into something useful. In 2018, he conceived a way to use sargassum in building blocks. Today he not only sells those blocks for use in construction projects, but also builds affordable housing in his community. Mr Vazquez grew up surrounded by nature—and the hardships of poverty. It shaped him into someone who takes action. “We never had a house of our own, and we didn’t have much food or clothes. I didn’t have a father,” he says. When he built what he expected to be his nursery’s new office with Sargablock, he designed it as a replica (复制品) of his grandparents’ home and named it after his mother, Angelita. On a recent afternoon Elizabeth Carmen sat on the front porch of her home. Two years ago, she was hit by a car. Mr Vazquez offered to build her a new home. By December 2021 she’d moved out of the shelter into the two-bedroom Sargablock home. She admits feeling hesitant at first about his offer: Was it going to have a strange smell, like decomposing sargassum on the beach? It doesn’t. “Now when I see sargassum piling up,” Ms Carmen says, “I think, ‘That’s no pest. It’s my roof.’” 4. What can we infer about Mr Vazquez from the first paragraph? A. He complained about the bad smell of the seaweed. B. He found the value of the seaweed. C. He thought sargassum to be invasive. D. He found his first love on a beach. 5. What does the underlined word “conceived” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Led to. B. Jumped at. C. Looked for. D. Came up with. 6. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. Mr Vazquez’s nature to take action. B. MrVazque’s struggle for learning. C. Mr Vazquez’s passion for gardening. D. Mr Vazquez’s miserable childhood. 7. What does the example of Elizabeth reflect? A. Mr Vazquez’s kindness. B. Mr Vazquez’s poverty. C. Elizabeth’s doubt. D. Elizabeth’s pity. C After waking up, you may feel frustrated that you cannot recall the dreams you had last night. Artificial intelligence(AI) may be able to help. Previously, there have been AI models that can turn text into images. They can do this by learning from a large amount of data from both text and images. This time, researchers have trained an AI system called Stable Diffusion to recreate images based on people’s brain scans. The researchers used an online data set provided by the University of Minnesota, the US, which consisted of brain scans from four participants as they each viewed a set of 10,000 photos. The scans were recorded by functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI). 高三英语 8月月考试卷 第 2 页 共 4 页 The AI system then learned about the brain activities by analyzing changes in blood flow shown by the FMRI data—when a part of the brain is activated, more blood will flow to it. It then matched the brain activities with the photos. Through this method, the AI system learned how human brains would react to different photos. Finally, the researchers tested the AI system on additional brain scans from the same participants when they viewed photos of a toy bear, an airplane, a clock and a train. If the person looked at an airplane, the AI system would use the brain scan data to create an image of a very blurry airplane. Then, it would turn on the previous “text-to-image” model and improve the quality of the image by feeding itself the keyword “airplane”. The final images were with about 80 percent of accuracy. The new study created a novel approach that incorporates text and images to “decipher (破译) the brain”, Ariel Goldstein said. In the future, scientists hope that the technology can be used to record imagined thoughts and dreams or allow people to understand how differently other animals perceive reality. 8. What can Al system Stable Diffusion do? A. Build images from brain scans. B. Turn text into concrete images. C. Scan the brains of people. D. Make our brains more active. 9. How does the author introduce the study in paragraph 5? A. By analyzing some data. B. By giving an example. C. By making a definition. D. By explaining the reason. 10. What do we know about the study result? A. It was astonishing. B. it was confusing. C. It was convincing. D. It was disappointing. 11. Where can we most likely read the text? A. In a diary. B. In a text. C. In a guidebook. D. In a magazine. D Did you know that Americans have two new national monuments in the Southwest? They are located in Nevada, which has more mountain ranges than any other state, and Texas, which is the second largest state. Historically, many native American tribes have fought to keep their lands sacred, and some tribes recently scored a victory. After over 62 years, the Yuman language-speaking peoples finally have some relief. Roughly 33,000 acres of Avi Kwa Ame have been safeguarded under the 1964 Wilderness Act. By making all of Avi Kwa Ame a national monument, it links monuments in California to monuments in Nevada and Arizona. In 1926, 3,500 acres of what is now called Castner Range were acquired by the US Government. It is home to part of the Franklin Mountains Range, with a majority of its mountains conserved inside the Franklin Mountains State Park, which was established in 1979. An initiative to obtain status as a National Monument began in 2015. The Avi Kwa Ame is considered the birthplace of the Yuman-speaking tribes, with the Mojave being the most widely known of the tribes. It is located on the eastern side of the largest Joshua tree forest in the world! In fact, the oldest Joshua tree there is over 900 years old. There are also several species that live there, like the bighorn sheep, the golden eagle, and the desert tortoise just to name a few. The newly established national monument creates a pathway for migrating bighorn sheep and preserves territory for endangered species like Gila monsters, screech owls, peregrine falcons, and more. Castner Range was once home to the Comanche and Apache peoples. The Castner Range site includes native American cave etchings, and many distinctive wild species inhabit the environment. The designation for Castner Range will create a path for migrating animals such as mountain lions, mule deer, and other desert wildlife. In fact, the Chihuahuan Desert, where Castner Range is located, is the dwelling place of the biggest remaining colony of black-tailed prairie dogs. Hueco-Mesilla Bolsons Aquifer (含水层)—a major source of drinking water for El Paso and the surrounding towns—is located close to the range. Protecting Castner will help keep the aquifer safe. 12.

I responded without hesitation and set out to make a preparation for it. We began the journey at the mid-night. Xuan Jie drove the car and I sat at the back. Snice it was so early, we were still a little bit sleepy. In order to prevent us from falling into sleep, Xuan Jie turned on the car player while chatting with me about our summer holiday. “Look! There is a river. Can we cross it?” I questioned. “No problem!” Xuan Jie replied immediately. “The car has a superior ability to manage it. Wait and see!”. On arriving at the peak of the mountain, we were excited to see a large number of people like us waiting for the sun rising up as well. Shortly the first sunlight came into our view. We were astonished at the fantastic sunrise and felt content with it. On our way back home at 8 a.m., we caught sight of the same river again. However, we were so immersed in the amazing sunrise that we missed a warning “No crossing 6-10 A.M! Water Released!”. Xuan Jie tried her best to drive across the river. This time, unfortunately, it failed! The car got stuck in the middle of the river. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为 150左右; 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Xuan Jie attempted to back the car but it didn’t work. ________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the rescue team arrived. _________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ make it , date back to, be absorbed in, refer to, be responsible for look forward to, be aware of , be attracted to, work out, in shape
