In addition to millions of books available to the general public, it also hosts a large number of video (movies), audio (music) and software files, etc. It is not necessary to register to access the information, so any user can easily view and download it, although those who decide to register obtain other benefits such as access to more than 1.3 million copyrighted e-books. ◆InfoBooks Read, Learn, Grow… is the slogan of the digital library. It is divided into three sections to facilitate the search for content, and the first called “Best books to read” focuses on a special collection of various topics classified by famous authors. The second is “Free books and texts”, where you will find public domain literature that you can download, and the third section contains resources to improve your reading. ◆Project Gutenberg Project Gutenberg is a site that has available sixty thousand “free” books that are free of copyright so to speak, since the rights according to certain laws have expired in this case. That is why they can be downloaded with total peace of mind. The Project Gutenberg also has an Open Audio book Collection, almost 5,000 titles from 2023, via a Project Gutenberg collaboration with Microsoft and MIT. These use neural text-to-speech technology for more natural-sounding computer-generated audio books. These audio books are also available on major music/podcast platforms. 1. What most attracts users to Internet Achive? A. Private software files. B. Easy access to plenty of e-books. C. Classic music of limited edition. D. Various movies of authorized edition. 2. How can we find the works of Mark Twain most precisely? A. Search InfoBooks, Section 1 online. B. E-mail Brewster Kahle to obtain directly. C. Download Software files from Internet Achive. D. Wait for distributions from Project Gutenberg. 3. What does Project Gutenberg have in common with Internet Archive? A. Audio resources are provided online. B. Materials can be adjusted to different users. C. Copyrights of some books are out of date. D. They provide reading strategies training. 【答案】1. B 2. A 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章简要介绍了三个主要的免费虚拟图书馆。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Internet Archive中“In addition to millions of books available to the general public, it also hosts a large number of video (movies), audio (music) and software files, etc. It is not necessary to register to access the information, so any user can easily view and download it (除了数以百万计的书籍可供公众使用外，它还拥有大量的视频（电影），音频（音乐）和软件文件等。访问信息不需要注册，因此任何用户都可以轻松查看和下载这些信息)”可知，该虚拟图书馆最吸引用户的地方是无需注册，可方便地获取大量电子书。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据InfoBooks中“It is divided into three sections to facilitate the search for content, and the first called “Best books to read” focuses on a special collection of various topics classified by famous authors. (为了方便搜索内容，它分为三个部分，第一部分被称为“最佳阅读书籍”，重点是按著名作家分类的各种主题的特别收藏)”可知，通过在网上检索该虚拟图书馆的第一部分，我们可以很准确地找到马克·吐温这样的著名作家的作品。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Internet Archive中“In addition to millions of books available to the general public, it also hosts a large number of video (movies), audio (music) and software files, etc. (除了数以百万计的书籍可供公众使用外，它还拥有大量的视频（电影），音频（音乐）和软件文件等)”和Project Gutenberg中“The Project Gutenberg also has an Open Audio book Collection, almost 5,000 titles from 2023, via a Project Gutenberg collaboration with Microsoft and MIT. (“古腾堡计划”也有一个开放的有声图书收藏，通过该计划与微软和麻省理工学院的合作，从2023年开始有近5000种图书)”可知，这两个虚拟图书馆都在线提供音频资源。故选A项。 B When Marguerite Richards posted a TikTok video about her father’s decade-old thriller novel, she was hoping to inspire a little interest. A few dozen new readers, maybe. As the first few positive comments started rolling in, she was pleased to have done something nice for a dad who definitely deserved it. She had no idea that, within days, millions of people would see her video, and her father’s book would rise to the top of Amazon’s Best Seller list. Lloyd Richards first published Stone Maidens in 2012. It’s a thriller about an FBI agent following a killer in Indiana and, by his daughter’s account, it’s quite attractive. However, his original release (出版) failed to drum up excitement. It’s a different world now, with social media making somebody and something rise to fame overnight. Richards, the daughter, decided to try her luck. “I saw how much time and effort and passion my dad put into his book. I know what a lovely storyteller he is,” she told CNN. “He never stopped writing, and he always stayed positive.” Whether it was the interesting thriller, or the efforts of a proud daughter, the story of Lloyd Richards and Stone Maidens struck a chord. Marguerite Richards posted the first TikTok about Stone Maidens about two weeks ago. It has since received 48 million views and numerous positive responses. After that, Richards posted more videos of her father, delighting in his unexpected success. “My dad wasn’t really sure what TikTok is, but he has been so pleased and grateful,” Richards says. The experience has breathed new life into a labor of love. Now, Lloyd Richards has more than 360,000 TikTok followers and a brand-new story to tell. He has plans for the future, too. 4. What initially motivated Marguerite Richards to post about her father’s book on TikTok? A. To help her father become an online influencer. B. To attract a modest number of new readers for the book. C. To introduce her father’s daily life on social media. D. To prove that older books could outsell new releases. 5. What do we know about Stone Maidens when it was first published? A. It immediately became a bestseller on Amazon. B. It was widely promoted on social media platforms. C. It failed to gain significant attention at the time. D. It received negative reviews from thriller readers. 6. Why did Lloyd Richards’ book suddenly become successful years later? A. His daughter’s TikTok video went viral unexpectedly. B. He rewrote the book to fit modern readers’ preferences. C. A famous celebrity recommended it on social media. D. The original publisher relaunched a marketing campaign. 7. How did Lloyd Richards feel about what his daughter had done for him? A. Puzzled but pleased B. Surprised and regretful C. Unexpected and shocked D. Delighted and thankful 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了劳埃德・理查兹（Lloyd Richards）的女儿玛格丽特・理查兹（Marguerite Richards）在TikTok上发布关于父亲十年前的惊悚小说的视频，使该书意外登上亚马逊畅销书榜首的故事。 4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When Marguerite Richards posted a TikTok video about her father’s decade-old thriller novel, she was hoping to inspire a little interest. A few dozen new readers, maybe. (当玛格丽特・理查兹在TikTok上发布一条关于她父亲那本已有十年历史的惊悚小说的视频时，她只是希望能激起一点兴趣。或许，能吸引几十个新读者吧。)”可知，玛格丽特・理查兹最初在TikTok上发布关于她父亲的书的视频，是希望能激发一点人们的兴趣，吸引几十位新读者。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“It’s a thriller about an FBI agent following a killer in Indiana and, by his daughter’s account, it’s quite attractive. However, his original release (出版) failed to drum up excitement. (这是一部惊悚小说，讲述了一名联邦调查局特工在印第安纳州追捕一名杀手的故事，据他女儿说，这本书相当吸引人。然而，该书最初出版时并未引起太多关注。)”可知，劳埃德・理查兹的《石中少女》在2012年首次出版时，没能引起人们的兴奋，即没有获得太多关注。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“She had no idea that, within days, millions of people would see her video, and her father’s book would rise to the top of Amazon’s Best Seller list. (她完全没想到，短短几天内，就有数百万网友看到了她视频，而她父亲的书也一举登上了亚马逊畅销书排行榜的榜首。)”以及倒数第二段“Marguerite Richards posted the first TikTok about Stone Maidens about two weeks ago. It has since received 48 million views and numerous positive responses. (玛格丽特・理查兹大约两周前发布了第一条关于《石中少女》的TikTok视频。从那以后，这条视频已经获得了4800万次观看量和无数正面回应。)”可知，劳埃德・理查兹的书多年后突然成功是因为他女儿的TikTok视频意外走红，获得了数以百万计的观看量，从而让这本书登上了亚马逊畅销书榜首。故选A项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““My dad wasn’t really sure what TikTok is, but he has been so pleased and grateful,” Richards says. (“我爸爸其实不太清楚TikTok是什么，但他一直非常开心，也充满感激，”理查兹说。)”可知，劳埃德・理查兹对女儿为他所做的事情感到高兴和感激。故选D项。 C It is a strange coincidence that as humans attempt to greatly reduce their carbon emissions, they are also rushing to develop a technology that could, in theory, consume an unlimited amount of energy. Doing things against facts is a dangerous game, but you can picture a world in which, having chosen to start dealing with climate change properly in the 1990s, we would be just wrapping up the gentle path to net-zero emissions in time for a rapid AI increase fuelled by green power. Instead, we find ourselves at risk of running a 21st-century technology on a 20th-century energy supply. If you live in the US, every time you use an AI model, around 20 per cent of the electricity required will be produced by burning coal. The explosive growth of AI makes this an even more pressing concern. According to one analysis, if Google chose to shift to an entirely AI-powered search business, its electricity consumption could match that of some countries. Such estimates may be magnified, but evidence of rising power consumption from AI is all around. Microsoft is placing bets on nuclear plants to power its data centers, while the English government has promised to boost its national computing capacity by 50 per cent by 2025, which would help it keep pace with rapid AI developments in the world. Thankfully, we may soon reach a turning point. As is reported, this year the global power department came close to reaching peak greenhouse gas emissions, as the switch from fossil (化石) fuels to clean and renewable sources is well underway. The question now is whether we can quicken the pace of decarbonisation(脱碳) to match the coming growth in energy consumption as AI becomes increasingly embedded in our society. Silicon Valley’s intelligent machines may grab the headlines and the imagination, but the people really inventing the future are working on the energy sector. 8. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. Carbon emissions have been reduced a lot. B. The reality is far from what we expected. C. The rapid AI increase brings many benefits. D. Climate change has to be dealt with properly. 9. Why is electricity consumption a major concern? A. Extensive use of AI will consume more energy. B. Many countries haven’t switched to clean energy. C. There is no limit on tech-giants’ electricity consumption. D. 20% of the power is produced by burning coal in the US. 10. What does the underlined word “magnified” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Undervalued. B. Overstated. C. Common. D. Reasonable. 11. What would be our primary task before we reach a turning point? A. Shifting to a fully AI-powered search business. B. Achieving net-zero emissions as soon as possible. C. Balancing energy-hungry AI with decarbonisation. D. Creating an unlimited energy-consuming technology. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了人类在努力减少碳排放的同时，也在急于发展一种理论上可能消耗无限能量的技术——人工智能，并探讨了由此带来的能源消耗与脱碳之间的平衡问题。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Doing things against facts is a dangerous game, but you can picture a world in which, having chosen to start dealing with climate change properly in the 1990s, we would be just wrapping up the gentle path to net-zero emissions in time for a rapid AI increase fuelled by green power. Instead, we find ourselves at risk of running a 21st-century technology on a 20th-century energy supply.(违背事实行事是一场危险的游戏，但你可以想象这样一个世界：如果我们在20世纪90年代就开始妥善处理气候变化问题，那么我们现在就能在为绿色能源推动的快速人工智能增长及时铺就一条温和的净零排放之路。然而，事实上我们发现自己有可能用20世纪的能源供应来运行21世纪的技术，这是有风险的)”可知，本段通过对比理想中的情况和现实情况，说明了现实与预期之间存在很大的差距。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“If you live in the US, every time you use an AI model, around 20 per cent of the electricity required will be produced by burning coal. The explosive growth of AI makes this an even more pressing concern.(如果你住在美国，每次你使用人工智能模型时，所需电力的大约20%将来自燃烧煤炭。人工智能的爆炸式增长使得这一问题更加紧迫)”可知，由于人工智能的广泛使用，将消耗更多的能源，这使得电力消耗成为一个主要问题。故选A项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。划线词所在句“Such estimates may be magnified, but evidence of rising power consumption from AI is all around.(这样的估计可能_____，但人工智能耗电量增加的证据随处可见)”中“Such estimates”指的是第二段中提到的“如果谷歌选择转向完全由人工智能驱动的搜索业务，其用电量可能与一些国家相当”这一惊人估计。结合句中“but”可知，前后文有转折关系，后文说“人工智能耗电量增加的证据随处可见”，由此推知，上文是讲“这样的估计可能有所夸大”，与下文构成转折关系。划线词magnified意思是“夸大的”，与Overstated意思相近。故选B项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The question now is whether we can quicken the pace of decarbonisation (脱碳) to match the coming growth in energy consumption as AI becomes increasingly embedded in our society.(现在的问题是，随着人工智能越来越深入地融入我们的社会，我们是否能加快脱碳的步伐，以匹配即将到来的能源消耗增长)”可知，在我们达到转折点之前，我们的主要任务是平衡高能耗人工智能与脱碳步伐之间的关系。故选C项。 D The cliche (陈词滥调) of a knitter is a white-haired lady. But in the 1940s, young male Royal Air Force pilots used needles as they waited for their next mission. Wartime pilots crashed a lot and“lap crafts” like knitting, helped rebuild flexibility in wounded limbs while also helping to settle wounded minds. They were the foundation of early occupational therapy (治疗). Today, millions of people around the world employ these same techniques. “They are closely associated with our mental health,” says Janine Smith, the owner of a store that sells supplies for knitting and crocheting (用钩针编制). “I know that if I haven’t knitted for a few days, I really miss it. It’s like meditation.” Physiotherapist Betsan Corkhill and occupational therapist Jill Riley were part of a team from Cardiff University that, ten years ago, surveyed more than 3,500 knitters and found that the more frequently people knitted, the calmer and happier they felt. In reality, it is a “Flow”, which is a concept first named by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi as he wrote in his book, “The best moments in our lives are not the passive, receptive, relaxing times. The best moments usually occur if a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile.” Shauna Richardson knows just how true this is. The artist spent 18 months in a state of flow when she crocheted three seven-metre-long lions for the 2012 Cultural Olympiad. To complete the task, which required nearly 38 miles of wool, she says she had to “zone everything out and sustain a state of mind driven by rhythm and process.” But smaller projects will also get you there. Even a simple knitting or crochet pattern requires attentiveness to ensure that each stitch is made correctly. And if there’s not enough challenge in the straightforward, you can make additions, from colour changes to textured stitches to highly complicated patterns. The Cardiff research team found that even though most of the people surveyed were employed, three-quarters of those who knitted three or more times a week felt significantly more able to organise their thoughts and forget their problems. 12. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To explore early occupational therapy. B. To introduce the early uses of knitting. C. To distinguish between two types of pilots. D. To stress knitting is not only for old women. 13. On which occasion will a person experience “Flow”? A. Playing computer games to one’s heart’s content. B. Figuring out a good solution all of a sudden. C. Working on a technical problem devotedly. D. Hanging out with a long-lost good friend. 14. What can you infer from the last two paragraphs? A. One stitch missed may lead to the loss of one’s attentiveness. B. Colors and patterns make a difference to the beauty of the project. C. Smaller projects will not contribute much to experiencing “Flow”. D. Frequent knitters are better at handling their thoughts and challenges. 15. What is the best title of the text? A. Active Hands, Calm Minds. B. Unique Therapy, Effective Healing. C. Special Techniques, Organized Thoughts. D. Simple Knitting, Strong Body. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了编织活动对人们心理健康的积极影响，包括其早期的应用、能让人进入“心流”状态以及有助于人们更好地处理思绪和挑战。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The cliche (陈词滥调) of a knitter is a white-haired lady. But in the 1940s, young male Royal Air Force pilots used needles as they waited for their next mission. Wartime pilots crashed a lot and ‘lap crafts’ like knitting, helped rebuild flexibility in wounded limbs while also helping to settle wounded minds. They were the foundation of early occupational therapy (治疗).(对编织者的刻板印象是一位白发苍苍的女士。但在20世纪40年代，年轻的皇家空军飞行员在等待下一次任务时会使用针线。战时飞行员经常坠机，像编织这样的‘膝上手工’有助于恢复受伤肢体的灵活性，同时也有助于安抚受伤的心灵。它们是早期职业治疗的基础)”可知，第一段通过打破“编织者是白发老太太”的刻板印象，引入二战时期年轻男性飞行员通过编织恢复肢体灵活性和心理状态的早期应用，从而引出编织在职业治疗中的历史作用‌。虽然段落确实提及了职业治疗的雏形（foundation of early occupational therapy），但核心目的是通过历史案例展示编织的早期功能性用途，而非专门探讨职业治疗本身‌。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In reality, it is a ‘Flow’, which is a concept first named by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi as he wrote in his book, ‘The best moments in our lives are not the passive, receptive, relaxing times. The best moments usually occur if a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile.’(实际上，它是一种‘心流’，这是心理学家米哈里·契克森米哈赖在他书中首次命名的概念，他在书中写道：‘我们生命中最美好的时刻不是被动、接受和放松的时刻。最美好的时刻通常出现在一个人自愿努力去完成一些困难且有价值的事情，从而使身心达到极限的时候。’)”可知，当一个人自愿努力去完成一些困难且有价值的事情时会体验到“心流”。由此推知，所以当一个人全身心投入于解决一个技术问题时，会体验到“心流”。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Even a simple knitting or crochet pattern requires attentiveness to ensure that each stitch is made correctly.(即使是一个简单编织或钩织图案，也需要集中注意力，以确保每一针都织得正确)”和最后一段“The Cardiff research team found that even though most of the people surveyed were employed, three-quarters of those who knitted three or more times a week felt significantly more able to organise their thoughts and forget their problems.(卡迪夫研究小组发现，尽管接受调查的大多数人都有工作，但那些每周编织三次或更多次的人中有四分之三觉得自己在组织思维和忘记问题方面的能力明显更强)”可知，经常编织的人在组织思维和忘记问题方面的能力明显更强，所以他们更擅长处理思维和应对挑战。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，重点结合文章第三段“Physiotherapist Betsan Corkhill and occupational therapist Jill Riley were part of a team from Cardiff University that, ten years ago, surveyed more than 3,500 knitters and found that the more frequently people knitted, the calmer and happier they felt.(物理治疗师贝特森·科克希尔和职业治疗师吉尔·莱利是卡迪夫大学一个团队的成员。十年前，该团队对 3500 多名编织者进行了调查，发现人们编织的频率越高，感觉就越平静和快乐。)”可知，文章主要介绍了编织活动对人们心理健康的积极影响，包括让人心情平静、进入“心流”状态。故A选项“Active Hands, Calm Minds(灵巧的双手，平静的心灵)”准确概括了文章主旨，是最佳标题。故选A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。 Living off grid When you need electricity, you just plug in the machine and switch it on. If you need water, you turn on the tap. _____16_____ For many people, these facilities are the basics of civilized society and the idea of living without them seems risky. Yet for a growing number of people, the idea of living off grid — without electricity, water or sewage (污水) — is an increasingly attractive lifestyle. Off-gridders do not have to give up electricity or a modern lifestyle — some choose to, but most use small hydroelectric(水电的)power systems, solar panels or windmills to generate enough power for their needs. Heating and cooking needs are met by solar energy or wood burning systems, and toilet facilities range from non-water toilets to outside compost (堆肥)toilets. _____17_____ It ranges from traditional yurts (a type of tent) to luxury houses with high-speed internet and central heating. Whether they live in simple homes or luxury houses, what they all have in common is that their lifestyles do not create any pollution or carbon emissions — the ultimate goal for off-gridders. Around 100,000 people are thought to be living off grid in the UK now. _____18_____ They grow their own food, home-school their children and provide their own medical care. They are people who have been priced out of the housing market or who have grown disillusioned with what modern society can offer and who decide that an alternative lifestyle isn’t a pipe dream, but a viable (可行的) option. _____19_____ Off-grid houses are far cheaper to build than ordinary homes since they don’t need to be connected to the electricity or water supplies and even road access is not necessary. Materials tend to be cheaper, too. Popular options include straw or old tyres and cement. Surprisingly, the biggest problem off-gridders face is not building their homes or becoming self-sufficient but getting permission to build. Rural areas away from town are the perfect choice but these are often protected by law from construction of any kind or have building restrictions. There are now several websites dedicated to land-sharing so that the costs of buying land and getting permission can be shared, and there are increasing numbers of off-grid communities. _____20_____ Off-gridding could soon be common all over Europe and America. A. Many are self-sufficient, not just providing their own electricity, water and sewage systems, but in all aspects. B. After you use the toilet, you flush it and the waste disappears. C. This shift from individual to group off-gridding reflects the fact that the trend is growing noticeably. D. Living off-grid still has a long way to go before it becomes a mainstream way of living. E. Rather than building permanent homes, vans or mobile homes or even old shipping containers are other options. F. They live in a huge variety of types of accommodation. G. Apart from living an alternative lifestyle, cost is a big factor in choosing to live off-grid. 【答案】16. B 17. F 18. A 19. G 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种新的生活方式——脱离电网的生活。 【16题详解】 根据上文“When you need electricity, you just plug in the machine and switch it on. If you need water, you turn on the tap.(你需要电的时候，只要把机器插上电源就可以了。如果你需要水，就打开水龙头)”可知，此处是在讲述我们的日常生活。B项“上完厕所后，冲一冲，排泄物就不见了”符合语境，也是对日常生活场景的描述。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据下文“It ranges from traditional yurts (a type of tent) to luxury house with high-speed internet and central heating.(它的范围从传统的蒙古包（一种帐篷）到带有高速互联网和中央供暖的豪华住宅)”可知，空处应是提到了关于住宿的问题。F项“他们住在各种各样的住所里”符合语境，it指代选项中的accommodation。故选F。 【18题详解】 根据下文“They grow their own food, home-school their children and provide their own medical care.(他们种植自己的食物，在家教育他们的孩子，并提供自己的医疗保健)”可知，脱离电网的人过着自给自足的生活。A项“许多都能实现自给自足，不仅能自行解决电力、供水和污水处理问题，而且在所有方面（都能做到自主供给）。”符合语境，下文是对all aspects的举例说明。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据下文“Off-grid houses are far cheaper to build than ordinary homes since they don’t need to be connected to the electricity or water supplies and even road access is not necessary. (离网住宅的建造比普通住宅便宜得多，因为它们不需要连接电力或水供应，甚至不需要道路接入)”可知，脱离电网的生活成本较低。G项“除了追求另类的生活方式外，成本也是人们选择离网生活的一个重要因素”符合语境，下文是对“低成本”的具体说明。故选G。 【20题详解】 根据上文“There are now several websites dedicated to land-sharing so that the costs of buying land and getting permission can be shared, and there are increasing numbers of off-grid communities.(现在有几个网站致力于土地共享，这样购买土地和获得许可的成本可以共享，而且越来越多的离网社区)”及下文“Off-gridding could soon be common all over Europe and America.(脱离电网的现象很快就会在欧洲和美国普遍存在)”可知，不仅有个人脱离电网的情况，还有脱离电网的社区，这表明脱离电网的这一趋势正在扩大。C项“从个体离网到群体离网的转变，反映出这一趋势正显著扩大的事实。”符合语境。故选C。 第三部分：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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was fourteen, my brother Barney and I set out to climb The Tooth with our uncle, Tom Campbell.

Initially used as sunshades, these early umbrellas ___36___ (fashion) from materials like silk or paper, and waterproofed with wax (蜡) and lacquer (漆) ___37___ (offer) rain protection. According to Chinese legend, the first umbrella in ancient China was invented by Lady Yun, the wife of Lu Ban, a renowned craftsman in Chinese history. At the time, people relied on straw hats and capes during rainy days, which proved inconvenient for travel. Inspired by ___38___ sight of people taking shelter under eaves (屋檐), Lady Yun created a folding device made of bamboo and fabric. LuBan later improved this design, making it ___39___ (practical)for rain and sun protection than before, paving the way ___40___ the modern umbrella — a proof of the wisdom and ___41___ (creative) of early Chinese people. Pioneer ___42___ China may be in the development of umbrellas, similar devices appeared in other ancient civilizations, such as Egypt, Assyria, and Greece, ___43___ (primary) for sun protection. The word “umbrella” ___44___(it) originates from the Latin “umbra”, meaning “shade”. Over time, as waterproofing techniques advanced, umbrellas changed from simple sunshades to essential tools for rain protection, ____45____ (gain) widespread popularity across the globe. 【答案】36. were fashioned 37. to offer 38. the 39. more practical 40. for 41. creativity 42. as 43. primarily 44. itself 45. gaining 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，介绍了雨伞的起源，讲述了中国古代雨伞的发明过程，以及在其他古代文明中类似遮阳工具的出现，还说明了“umbrella”这个词的词源，以及雨伞随着防水技术发展而在全球普及的情况。 【36题详解】 考查被动语态。句意：最初用作遮阳伞，这些早期的雨伞是由丝绸或纸等材料制成的，并涂有蜡和漆以防水。谓语动词fashion与主语umbrellas之间是被动关系，要使用被动语态，因句子表示的是过去发生的动作，谓语动词使用一般过去时的被动语态，且主语为名词复数。故填were fashioned。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。空白处在句子中作状语，表示目的，所以使用动词不定式，表示涂蜡和漆的目的是防水。故填to offer。 【38题详解】 考查冠词。句意：受人们在屋檐下避雨这一景象的启发，云夫人创造了一种由竹子和织物制成的折叠装置。空白处后面的名词sight被后面的介词短语修饰表示特指，使用定冠词。故填the。 【39题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：鲁班后来改进了这个设计，使它比以前更实用，可以防雨和防晒，为现代雨伞铺平了道路——这是早期中国人智慧和创造力的证明。根据上文“LuBan later improved this design(鲁班后来改进了这个设计)”可知，上文提到了鲁班后来改进了这个设计，可推理出此处要把鲁班改进设计前后雨伞的功能进行比较，空白处应填入形容词比较级。故填more practical。 【40题详解】 考查介词。句意：同上。“pave the way for... ”为固定短语，含义为“为……铺平道路”，符合句意。故填for。 【41题详解】 考查名词。句意：同上。空白处在句子中作介词of的宾语，使用名词，creative的名词为creativity意为“创造力”。故填creativity。 【42题详解】 考查连词。句意：虽然中国在雨伞的发展方面可能是先驱，但类似的装置也出现在其他古代文明中，如埃及、亚述和希腊，主要是用于防晒。根据下文“similar devices appeared in other ancient civilizations, such as Egypt, Assyria, and Greece(类似的装置也出现在其他古代文明中，如埃及、亚述和希腊)”可知，下文提到了类似的装置也出现在其他古代文明中，如埃及、亚述和希腊，可推理出空白处引导让步状语从句，因让步状语从句为倒装结构，可推理出本句使用了“表语/状语/动词原形 + as + 从句”结构。故填as。 【43题详解】 考查副词。句意：同上。空白处在句子中作状语修饰整个句子，使用副词，primary的副词为primarily意为“最初”符合句意。故填primarily。 【44题详解】 考查代词。句意：“umbrella”这个词本身就来源于拉丁语“umbra”，意思是“阴影”。空白处在句子中作主语The word “umbrella”的同位语，表示“umbrella”这个词本身，所以空白处填反身代词。故填itself。 【45题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：随着时间的推移，随着防水技术的进步，雨伞从简单的遮阳伞变成了防雨的必备工具，在全球范围内得到了广泛的普及。此处为非谓语动词作状语，gain与逻辑主语之间为主动意义，表示一个自然而然的结果，使用现在分词作状语。故填gaining。 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节：（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，上周五你们班组织了“共读一本书” (Reading A Book Together) 的阅读分享活动，你的英国朋友Chris对此很感兴趣。请你给他写一封邮件分享这次经历，内容包括： （1）活动介绍； （2）你的收获。 注意： （1）写作词数应为80个左右； （2）可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Dear Chris, Last Friday, our class held a “Reading A Book Together” activity.

Because of her parents’ business, her family moved from London to Los Angeles, where she grew up. Living in a quiet and warm community with her parents, Callie was very interested in various volunteer activities in the community, and almost no one in the community didn’t know her. On a sunny afternoon, Callie was reading a poem when she heard a soft knock. She stood up at once and opened the door. Her favourite neighbor, Mrs. Baker, stood outside the door. “I need your help, Callie,” Mrs. Baker said, “and do you know the empty lot (场地) down the street?” Callie nodded, smiling. “The place is a mess, covered with trash. The city is letting us use the lot as a community garden,” she explained. “We need help to clean up the lot on Saturday.” “Sure, Mrs. Baker!” Callie said cheerfully. “I just have nothing to do this Saturday. I will be happy to help you!” Mrs. Baker looked pleased and said, “Thanks, Callie. We want to get the garden planted before summer. By then, adults and children in our community will have had a good place to go.” At school the next morning, Callie’s close friend Tamara was waiting for her by their classroom, who had a surprise for her. Tamara said, “My mom bought tickets to Fun World this Saturday. She has an extra one for you!” The girls had been waiting for months for the amusement park to reopen. Callie sighed and worried over how to choose for the rest of the day. Her mother noticed her mood when she arrived home. “Did something go wrong at school?” her mother asked. Callie explained her problem. “What should I do, Mom?” Callie asked. “I know you want to go with Tamara and also want to help Mrs. Baker. Think carefully about your choice, and you need to make your own decision. But I know you will do what is best,” her mother answered. 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。 Callie spent the rest of the evening thinking about her decision. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Sunday, Callie met Mrs. Baker at the empty lot. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Callie spent the rest of the evening thinking about her decision. She wanted to go to Fan World, but in the end she decided that her promise to her neighbor was more important. The next day at school, Callie told Tamara that she would not be able to go to Fun World. Tamara tried to understand, but Callie could tell Tamara was disappointed. The girls hardly spoke for the rest of the week. On Sunday, Callie met Mrs. Baker at the empty lot. “Your mother said you made a tough choice. Thank you for giving a hand today.” Callie smiled as she cleaned with a large trash bag. “Do you need any help?” a voice behind her asked. Callie turned, surprised to see Tamara. “I know you made a promise to clean up the garden, and I wanted to come help you. My mom said she could take us to Fun World next weekend.” With joint efforts, they finished the cleaning. Both Callie and Tamara realized that once a promise is made, it needs to be kept. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了凯丽是一名高中生。由于父母的生意，她的家人从伦敦搬到了洛杉矶，她在那里长大。她和她的父母生活在一个安静而温暖的社区，并且对社区的各种志愿者活动非常感兴趣，社区里几乎没有人不认识她。某天在邻居太太的拜托下，她答应和她一起清理花园，为此她拒绝了和朋友们去玩，遵守了承诺。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“凯丽整个晚上都在思考她的决定。”可知，第一段可描写凯丽内心的纠结以及下定决心帮助清理花园。 ②由第二段首句内容“星期天，凯丽在空地上遇见了贝克太太。”可知，第二段可描写凯丽得到了朋友的理解，在大家的共同努力下，她们完成了清扫工作。 2.续写线索：思考决定——遵守承诺——得罪朋友——朋友谅解——完成清扫——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①决定：decide/be determined to ②能够：be able to/be capable of ③完成：finish/complete 情绪类 ①失望的：disappointed/depressed ②惊讶的：surprised/astonished 【点睛】[高分句型1] She wanted to go to Fan World, but in the end she decided that her promise to her neighbor was more important.

B When Marguerite Richards posted a TikTok video about her father’s decade-old thriller novel, she was hoping to inspire a little interest. A few dozen new readers, maybe. As the first few positive comments started rolling in, she was pleased to have done something nice for a dad who definitely deserved it. She had no idea that, within days, millions of people would see her video, and her father’s book would rise to the top of Amazon’s Best Seller list. Lloyd Richards first published Stone Maidens in 2012. It’s a thriller about an FBI agent following a killer in Indiana and, by his daughter’s account, it’s quite attractive. However, his original release (出版) failed to drum up excitement. It’s a different world now, with social media making somebody and something rise to fame overnight. Richards, the daughter, decided to try her luck. “I saw how much time and effort and passion my dad put into his book. I know what a lovely storyteller he is,” she told CNN. “He never stopped writing, and he always stayed positive.” Whether it was the interesting thriller, or the efforts of a proud daughter, the story of Lloyd Richards and Stone Maidens struck a chord. Marguerite Richards posted the first TikTok about Stone Maidens about two weeks ago. It has since received 48 million views and numerous positive responses. After that, Richards posted more videos of her father, delighting in his unexpected success. “My dad wasn’t really sure what TikTok is, but he has been so pleased and grateful,” Richards says. The experience has breathed new life into a labor of love. Now, Lloyd Richards has more than 360,000 TikTok followers and a brand-new story to tell. He has plans for the future, too. 4. What initially motivated Marguerite Richards to post about her father’s book on TikTok? A. To help her father become an online influencer. B. To attract a modest number of new readers for the book. C. To introduce her father’s daily life on social media. D. To prove that older books could outsell new releases. 5. What do we know about Stone Maidens when it was first published? A. It immediately became a bestseller on Amazon. B. It was widely promoted on social media platforms. C. It failed to gain significant attention at the time. D. It received negative reviews from thriller readers. 6. Why did Lloyd Richards’ book suddenly become successful years later? A. His daughter’s TikTok video went viral unexpectedly. B. He rewrote the book to fit modern readers’ preferences. C. A famous celebrity recommended it on social media. D. The original publisher relaunched a marketing campaign. 7. How did Lloyd Richards feel about what his daughter had done for him? A. Puzzled but pleased B. Surprised and regretful C. Unexpected and shocked D. Delighted and thankful C It is a strange coincidence that as humans attempt to greatly reduce their carbon emissions, they are also rushing to develop a technology that could, in theory, consume an unlimited amount of energy. Doing things against facts is a dangerous game, but you can picture a world in which, having chosen to start dealing with climate change properly in the 1990s, we would be just wrapping up the gentle path to net-zero emissions in time for a rapid AI increase fuelled by green power. Instead, we find ourselves at risk of running a 21st-century technology on a 20th-century energy supply. If you live in the US, every time you use an AI model, around 20 per cent of the electricity required will be produced by burning coal. The explosive growth of AI makes this an even more pressing concern. According to one analysis, if Google chose to shift to an entirely AI-powered search business, its electricity consumption could match that of some countries. Such estimates may be magnified, but evidence of rising power consumption from AI is all around. Microsoft is placing bets on nuclear plants to power its data centers, while the English government has promised to boost its national computing capacity by 50 per cent by 2025, which would help it keep pace with rapid AI developments in the world. Thankfully, we may soon reach a turning point. As is reported, this year the global power department came close to reaching peak greenhouse gas emissions, as the switch from fossil (化石) fuels to clean and renewable sources is well underway. The question now is whether we can quicken the pace of decarbonisation(脱碳) to match the coming growth in energy consumption as AI becomes increasingly embedded in our society. Silicon Valley’s intelligent machines may grab the headlines and the imagination, but the people really inventing the future are working on the energy sector. 8. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. Carbon emissions have been reduced a lot. B. The reality is far from what we expected. C. The rapid AI increase brings many benefits. D.

D The cliche (陈词滥调) of a knitter is a white-haired lady. But in the 1940s, young male Royal Air Force pilots used needles as they waited for their next mission. Wartime pilots crashed a lot and“lap crafts” like knitting, helped rebuild flexibility in wounded limbs while also helping to settle wounded minds. They were the foundation of early occupational therapy (治疗). Today, millions of people around the world employ these same techniques. “They are closely associated with our mental health,” says Janine Smith, the owner of a store that sells supplies for knitting and crocheting (用钩针编制). “I know that if I haven’t knitted for a few days, I really miss it. It’s like meditation.” Physiotherapist Betsan Corkhill and occupational therapist Jill Riley were part of a team from Cardiff University that, ten years ago, surveyed more than 3,500 knitters and found that the more frequently people knitted, the calmer and happier they felt. In reality, it is a “Flow”, which is a concept first named by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi as he wrote in his book, “The best moments in our lives are not the passive, receptive, relaxing times. The best moments usually occur if a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile.” Shauna Richardson knows just how true this is. The artist spent 18 months in a state of flow when she crocheted three seven-metre-long lions for the 2012 Cultural Olympiad. To complete the task, which required nearly 38 miles of wool, she says she had to “zone everything out and sustain a state of mind driven by rhythm and process.” But smaller projects will also get you there. Even a simple knitting or crochet pattern requires attentiveness to ensure that each stitch is made correctly. And if there’s not enough challenge in the straightforward, you can make additions, from colour changes to textured stitches to highly complicated patterns. The Cardiff research team found that even though most of the people surveyed were employed, three-quarters of those who knitted three or more times a week felt significantly more able to organise their thoughts and forget their problems. 12. What’s the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To explore early occupational therapy. B. To introduce the early uses of knitting. C. To distinguish between two types of pilots. D. To stress knitting is not only for old women. 13. On which occasion will a person experience “Flow”? A Playing computer games to one’s heart’s content. B. Figuring out a good solution all of a sudden. C. Working on a technical problem devotedly. D Hanging out with a long-lost good friend. 14. What can you infer from the last two paragraphs? A. One stitch missed may lead to the loss of one’s attentiveness. B. Colors and patterns make a difference to the beauty of the project. C. Smaller projects will not contribute much to experiencing “Flow”. D. Frequent knitters are better at handling their thoughts and challenges. 15. What is the best title of the text? A. Active Hands, Calm Minds. B. Unique Therapy, Effective Healing. C. Special Techniques, Organized Thoughts. D. Simple Knitting, Strong Body. 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。 Living off grid When you need electricity, you just plug in the machine and switch it on. If you need water, you turn on the tap. _____16_____ For many people, these facilities are the basics of civilized society and the idea of living without them seems risky. Yet for a growing number of people, the idea of living off grid — without electricity, water or sewage (污水) — is an increasingly attractive lifestyle. Off-gridders do not have to give up electricity or a modern lifestyle — some choose to, but most use small hydroelectric(水电的)power systems, solar panels or windmills to generate enough power for their needs. Heating and cooking needs are met by solar energy or wood burning systems, and toilet facilities range from non-water toilets to outside compost (堆肥)toilets. _____17_____ It ranges from traditional yurts (a type of tent) to luxury houses with high-speed internet and central heating. Whether they live in simple homes or luxury houses, what they all have in common is that their lifestyles do not create any pollution or carbon emissions — the ultimate goal for off-gridders. Around 100,000 people are thought to be living off grid in the UK now. _____18_____ They grow their own food, home-school their children and provide their own medical care. They are people who have been priced out of the housing market or who have grown disillusioned with what modern society can offer and who decide that an alternative lifestyle isn’t a pipe dream, but a viable (可行的) option. _____19_____ Off-grid houses are far cheaper to build than ordinary homes since they don’t need to be connected to the electricity or water supplies and even road access is not necessary. Materials tend to be cheaper, too. Popular options include straw or old tyres and cement. Surprisingly, the biggest problem off-gridders face is not building their homes or becoming self-sufficient but getting permission to build. Rural areas away from town are the perfect choice but these are often protected by law from construction of any kind or have building restrictions. There are now several websites dedicated to land-sharing so that the costs of buying land and getting permission can be shared, and there are increasing numbers of off-grid communities. _____20_____ Off-gridding could soon be common all over Europe and America. A. Many are self-sufficient, not just providing their own electricity, water and sewage systems, but in all aspects. B. After you use the toilet, you flush it and the waste disappears. C. This shift from individual to group off-gridding reflects the fact that the trend is growing noticeably. D. Living off-grid still has a long way to go before it becomes a mainstream way of living. E. Rather than building permanent homes, vans or mobile homes or even old shipping containers are other options. F. They live in a huge variety of types of accommodation. G. Apart from living an alternative lifestyle, cost is a big factor in choosing to live off-grid. 第三部分：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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When I was fourteen, my brother Barney and I set out to climb The Tooth with our uncle, Tom Campbell.

Because of her parents’ business, her family moved from London to Los Angeles, where she grew up. Living in a quiet and warm community with her parents, Callie was very interested in various volunteer activities in the community, and almost no one in the community didn’t know her. On a sunny afternoon, Callie was reading a poem when she heard a soft knock. She stood up at once and opened the door. Her favourite neighbor, Mrs. Baker, stood outside the door. “I need your help Callie,” Mrs. Baker said, “and do you know the empty lot (场地) down the street?” Callie nodded, smiling. “The place is a mess, covered with trash. The city is letting us use the lot as a community garden,” she explained. “We need help to clean up the lot on Saturday.” “Sure, Mrs. Baker!” Callie said cheerfully. “I just have nothing to do this Saturday. I will be happy to help you!” Mrs. Baker looked pleased and said, “Thanks, Callie. We want to get the garden planted before summer. By then, adults and children in our community will have had a good place to go.” At school the next morning, Callie’s close friend Tamara was waiting for her by their classroom, who had a surprise for her. Tamara said, “My mom bought tickets to Fun World this Saturday. She has an extra one for you!” The girls had been waiting for months for the amusement park to reopen. Callie sighed and worried over how to choose for the rest of the day. Her mother noticed her mood when she arrived home. “Did something go wrong at school?” her mother asked. Callie explained her problem. “What should I do, Mom?” Callie asked. “I know you want to go with Tamara and also want to help Mrs. Baker. Think carefully about your choice, and you need to make your own decision. But I know you will do what is best,” her mother answered. 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。 Callie spent the rest of the evening thinking about her decision. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Sunday, Callie met Mrs. Baker at the empty lot. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
