The biggest are Chinese, English, Spanish, Arabic and Hindi. Next come Portuguese, Bengali, Russian, Japanese, French and German. But the world has about seven thousand languages. As many as half of these may be at risk of disappearing by the end of this century. That would mean one language dies every two weeks. Members of the Siletz Indian tribe (部落) in Oregon, a northwestern state of America, take pride in their language. Their language, they say, “is as old as time itself.” But today, very few people can speak it well. More than ten thousand words and phrases can be found in the Siletz Online Talking Dictionary. Professor Harrison has posted talking dictionaries for seven other highly endangered languages from around the world. __①__ Smartphone Apps, YouTube videos and Facebook pages have all become digital (数码的) tools for language experts. Professor Harrison and the researchers in Oregon have mapped areas of endangered languages. One is the Pacific Northwest in the United States. Others include the upper Amazon basin (亚马逊盆地) in South America, Siberia (西伯利亚) and northern Australia. __②__ In Canada’s far north, the Inuit (因纽特) people are trying hard to save their native language, Inuktitut. Part of the effort comes from Microsoft. The company is translating words in its Windows operating system and Office software into Inuktitut. __③__ Nowadays, so many people spend their whole day sitting in front of a computer. If you’re sitting in front of your computer in English all day, that just improves your English. If you’re now using Inuktitut, that is your language. Microsoft has also worked with language experts in New Zealand, Spain and Wales to translate its software into more different languages, such as Maori, Basque, Catalan and Welsh. __④__ 26．People of the Siletz Indian tribe are proud of their language because ________. A．it has a long history B．it was created in Northwest America C．few people speak it smoothly D．it’s hard to count the number of it 27．Which is the most suitable place to put the sentence “He says technology can spread the influence of major languages but also help save endangered ones.”? A．① B．② C．③ D．④ 28．What is the text mainly about? A．Efforts made to find endangered languages. B．The languages having the most speakers worldwide. C．The contributions researchers made to the Siletz Indian.

In the letter, Xi expressed his congratulations to Su and other sportsmen in ice and snow sports for their great achievements at the Beijing Winter Olympics, hoping what they had achieved would encourage young Chinese to aim (立目标) high. When Su first stepped onto a snowboard at the age of four, a future as a world-class sportsman seemed to be “a dream too big” for him. Little did he know that he would not only compete for his country but also take home gold. With the great excitement of winning an Olympic gold medal still fresh in his mind, Su wrote a letter to the president, telling him how lucky he felt to have made his dream come true. Su still remembers what Xi wrote in the reply, “The new era is the time for young people to realize their dreams? ” “I have always kept those words in my mind, ” Su said, “When I made up my mind to be a professional (职业的) snowboarder, I know there is a big gap between my performance (表现) and that of the top sportsmen in the world. But I have been working hard to realize my dream. Now my story shows the fact that hard work will pay off.” Su said. Su believes the sky is the limit. “Find the thing you love, believe in yourself and do your very best. Finally, your dream will come true.” Now Su has his strong wish to win all the competitions in his sporting field. 29．What was the surprise gift Su Yiming got after his birthday? A．A letter.

Now my story shows the fact that hard work will pay off.”并结合备选项可猜测此处应是说苏翊鸣努力训练以弥补与顶级运动员的差异，故选B。 32．标题归纳题。文章主要讲述了主席鼓励年轻的国人们志向远大，力争上游，而苏翊鸣正是在高远理想的指引激励下艰苦训练，终于为国争光。故选B。 C An old saying used for forecasting (预测) the weather says, “Red sky at night, sailors’ delight. Red sky in the morning, sailors (水手) take warning.” Is the saying true? It turns out that it is. A red sky at sunset may mean that there are clear skies to the west, where the sun sets. A red sky at sunrise usually means that the clear weather has already passed, so storms might be coming. Forecasting the weather has been practiced for thousands of years. In the 5th century BC, the Greeks sent out forecasts to sailors. They used signs in nature to forecast the weather. But today, meteorologists send exact forecasts further in advance (提前). They use scientific instruments to study weather conditions around the world and make forecasts. Pilots, farmers and many other people depend on these forecasts. Luckily, most of us can simply look on the smart phone or turn on the TV to find out what kind of weather is coming. If you are looking for some signs of the weather, pay attention to nature. There are two basic rules used in weather forecasting: Weather generally moves from west to east, and low air pressure (压力) usually means rain or snow. So pay attention to the signs. If rainbows form in the west at sunrise, the sun is on the way. Smell the flowers— their smells are stronger in wet air. What are the ants doing? Are they moving to higher ground? This could mean a drop in air pressure. Are the birds flying low or high? Falling air pressure may influence birds’ ears, so they fly low. And if the sky is red at sunset, you might plan a picnic for the next day! 33．What is the old saying about? A．The beauty of sunrise. B．The night sky. C．The signs of the weather. D．The sailors’work. 34．What does the underlined word “meteorologists” mean? A．The persons who give daily weather reports on TV. B．The persons who carry out research on natural history. C．The persons who take an interest in plants and animals. D．The persons who do scientific studies of weather conditions. 35．What do we know from the last paragraph? A．It’ll be sunny if ants move to higher places. B．The smells of flowers are stronger in wet air. C．Birds fly higher because of the low air pressure. D．It’ll rain if rainbows form in the west at sunrise. 36．What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text? A．To encourage people to get close to nature. B．To express the need for weather forecasting. C．To explain nature can tell us about the weather. D．To discuss how important weather forecasting is. 【答案】33．C 34．D 35．B 36．C 【导语】本文主要介绍利用自然界的迹象来预报天气。 33．推理判断题。根据“A red sky at sunset may mean that there are clear skies to the west, where the sun sets. A red sky at sunrise usually means that the clear weather has already passed, so storms might be coming.”可知，日落时的红色天空可能意味着太阳落山的西方天空晴朗。日出时天空呈红色通常意味着晴朗的天气已经过去，因此暴风雨可能即将来临。所以这句谚语是关于天气的迹象，故选C。 34．词句猜测题。根据“But today, meteorologists send exact forecasts further in advance (提前).”可知，提前发布准确的预报的应该是气象学家，故选D。 35．细节理解题。根据“Smell the flowers—their smells are stronger in wet air.”可知，闻闻花——它们的气味在潮湿的空气中更强烈。故选B。 36．主旨大意题。本文主要介绍利用自然界的迹象来预报天气，是在解释自然可以告诉我们天气情况。故选C。 D Chinese Zhurong rover on the surface of Mars has been doing research into how the planet changed in climate about 400,000 years ago. Mars is also known as the “Red Planet”, because it’s red! It can get pretty cold on Mars, much colder than our own planet, since it’s further away from the sun. Data collected by the Zhurong rover, which landed on Mars in 2021, shows the wind direction on the southern Utopian Plainhad changed 70℃ from north- east to north-west. This caused the crescent-shaped (新月形的) dunes (沙丘) that had formed during the last glacial (冰川的) period into long, dark ridges. A ridge is a raised line where two sloping surfaces (坡面) meet. Scientists analyzed (分析) the wind direction by studying the surface structure of Mars. The ridges were once discovered by spacecraft in the orbit of Mars but it was never clear what caused their formation. The Zhurong ro ver went into sleeping mode in May 2022 and was meant to start operations in December 2022 but has been out of action since, most likely because it is covered in dust. It was the first Chinese rover to land on Mars. China also placed its Tianwen-1 orbiter (轨道器) around Mars, which sent the data collected by the Zhurong ro ver to the earth. Tianwen-1 entered Mars’s orbit on February 10, 2021. “The research on the climate change of Mars has been of great concern (关注) for a long time,” said Li Chunlai, a scientist of the study. Mars is the most similar planet to the earth in the solar system, so understanding the climate evolution of Mars helps scientists better understand the history of the earth and other planets. 37．It’s very cold on Mars because ________. A．it’s a red planet B．it’s far from the sun C．it’s smaller than the earth D．it’s over 40000 years old 38．Which picture shows a “ridge” to us? A． B． C． D． 39．Scientists directly got the data on Mars from ________. A．the Zhurong rover B．the Tianwen-1 orbiter C．the Tiangong space station D．the satellite around the earth 40．What’s the last paragraph mainly about? A．Scientists’ hard work. B．The climate evolution of Mars. C．The importance of the research. D．The history of the earth and other planets. 【答案】37．B 38．C 39．B 40．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了在火星表面的中国祝融号火星车一直在研究大约40万年前火星的气候变化。 37．细节理解题。根据“It can get pretty cold on Mars, much colder than our own planet, since it’s further away from the sun.”可知火星上的温度可能会非常低，比我们自己的星球冷得多，因为它离太阳更远。故选B。 38．推理判断题。根据“the wind direction on the southern Utopian Plainhad changed 70℃ from north- east to north- west. This caused the crescent- shaped (新月形的) dunes (沙丘) that had formed during the last glacial (冰川的) period into long, dark ridges. A ridge is a raised line where two sloping surfaces (坡面) meet.”可知风向从东北到西北变化了70℃，这导致了上一次冰川时期形成的新月形沙丘变成了又长又黑的山脊，脊是两个斜面相交的凸起线，结合常识可知，选项A是山谷，选项C是山脊。故选C。 39．细节理解题。根据“China also placed its Tianwen-1 orbiter (轨道器) around Mars, which sent the data collected by the Zhurong rover to the earth”可知中国还将天问一号环绕火星运行，将祝融号探测器收集的数据送入地球。故选B。 40．主旨大意题。根据“The research on the climate change of Mars has been of great concern (关注) for a long time”以及结合“ so understanding the climate evolution of Mars helps scientists better understand the history of the earth and other planets”可知最后一段介绍了这个研究的重要性。故选C。 第二节 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last very long. 41 You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous(慷慨的) ; be understanding. Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend's trust. 42 Generousity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes, of course. Instead you have to learn how to share things you enjoy, your hobbies and interests. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. 43 They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them you help your friend know you better. Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. 44 So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better. 45 But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friendships, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding. A．To have a friend, you must learn to be one. B．A friend in need is a friend indeed. C．No two friendships are ever exacty alike. D．Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. E．These can be valuable to a friend. F．Good friends always trust one another to speak and act honestly. 【答案】41．A 42．F 43．E 44．D 45．C 【分析】本文讲述了成为好朋友的三个准则：诚实，慷慨，理解。 41．根据下文中“You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you.”可知，你必须学会如何对待你的朋友，就像你希望你的朋友对待你一样，也就是说如果你想拥有一个朋友，你必须学着成为一个朋友，所以此处使用To have a friend, you must learn to be one.表示“要有朋友，你必须学会成为一个朋友”。故选A。 42．根据上文中“If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend's trust.”可知，如果朋友发现你不诚实，你可能会失去朋友的信任，也就是说好朋友之间应该以诚相待，所以此处使用Good friends always trust one another to speak and act honestly.表示“好朋友总是相互信任，说话和行动都很诚实”。故选F。 43．根据上文中“Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings.”和下文中“They tell your friend what is important to you.”可知，你自然会想要分享你的想法和感受，这些想法和感受会告诉你的朋友什么对你重要，也就是说这些想法和感受对一个朋友是有价值的，所以此处使用These can be valuable to a friend.表示“这些对朋友来说很有价值”。故选E。 44．根据上文中“Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve.”可知，谈论问题可以使问题更容易解决，所以可以向朋友求助解决问题，此处使用Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem.表示“向朋友求助是解决问题的第一步”。故选D。 45．根据下文中“But all true friendships have three things in common.”可知，此处使用No two friendships are ever exacty alike.表示“没有两种友谊是完全一样的，但所有真正的友谊都有三个共同点”。故选C。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共55分） 第Ⅱ卷共26小题，请将答案按要求写在答题卡上。 四、词汇运用（本题共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 请认真阅读下面短文，根据语篇内容，在空白处填入括号内单词的正确形式或时态，使短文通顺、连贯。 There were tubes (试管) all over my lab desk. Once again, my experiment had refused to work. I felt 46 (hope). A few months earlier, when I had just started the project, I was confident. “I 47 (succeed) if I work hard enough.” I encouraged myself. So I spent long hours in the lab every day. When the experiment failed, I 48 (simple) worked harder. Yet here I was, working harder than ever—but not getting anywhere. I didn’t know what to do. It was late in the evening. One other person was still in the lab, and he noticed my 49 (worry) face. He came over and asked how I was doing. “I 50 (try) thousands of times so far, but...” I told him about my problems. After we talked through the experiment, “I think it’s time to go home and get some sleep. Taking a break is also hard work, you know,” he said with a smile. Those words opened my eyes. I no longer made 51 (me) work too hard in the lab. I felt less stressed and my research started to make progress. One day, I 52 (drink) coffee at a cafe, when my professor came in. We discussed the habit of working too hard together. He said, “We need to work smarter, not 53 (hard).” I felt a little surprised. I had never heard my professor 54 (say) anything like this. Our conversation that day helped me understand that exciting ideas can hardly come from a mind under pressure. My best ideas almost always 55 (come) when I have allowed my mind to relax—whether that’s cooking a nice dinner or going on long hikes with my brother. Part of working smarter, I realized, can be taking a break. Today, I try to pass this idea on to my own students. Work-life balance is not a barrier to excellent research. It is an important part of it. 【答案】 46．hopeless 47．will succeed 48．simply 49．worried 50．have tried 51．myself 52．was drinking 53．harder 54．say 55．come 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在实验的时候遇到了困难，一个人的话让他明白了休息也是很重要，从而让他的研究取得了进展。 46．句意：我感觉很绝望。根据前文“Once again, my experiment had refused to work.”可知，实验又失败了，作者感觉很绝望，felt后接形容词作表语，hope“希望”，hopeless“绝望的”。故填hopeless。 47．句意：如果我足够努力，我就会成功。此处为if引导的条件状语从句，遵循“主将从现”，用一般将来时will+do。故填will succeed。 48．句意：实验失败了，我仅仅只是更加努力工作。此处用副词修饰动词，simply的副词形式为simply“简单地”。故填simply。 49．句意：另外一个人仍然在实验室，他注意到我焦虑的表情。此处修饰名词face，用形容词worried“担忧的”。故填worried。 50．句意：我已经尝试了成千上万次，但是……。根据“so far”可知，此处为现在完成时have done，主语是I，助动词用have。故填have tried。 51．句意：我不再让自己在实验室那么努力了。此处指代作者自己，用反身代词myself。故填myself。 52．句意：一天，当我的教授进来时，我正在咖啡馆喝咖啡。此处教授进来时，作者正在喝咖啡，用过去进行时，主语是I，be动词用was。故填was drinking。 53．句意：我们需要更加聪明地工作，而不是更努力。根据前文“work smarter”可知，此处用比较级harder。故填harder。 54．句意：我从没有听到我的教授说过类似的话。hear sb. do sth.表示“听到某人做了某事”，强调的是动作的全过程或结果，通常这个动作已经完成。故填say。 55．句意：我最好的想法总是会来，当我已经让我的大脑放松。句中有always，主语是 My best ideas，用一般现在时，动词用原形。故填come。 五、短文填空（本题共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） Sleep is very important. A person who does not sleep d 56 faster than a person who does not eat. We spend about a t 57 of our lives on sleep. That’s about 121 days a year! How much sleep do we need? We are all d 58 . A baby needs 16 hours of sleep every day. Children 6 to 12 years old need an average (平均) of ten to twelve hours of sleep. Teenagers need nine to ten hours of sleep. An a 59 needs an average of seven to eight hours a night. There are some people who need only three hours of sleep. Others need ten hours of sleep. After the age of 50, the average sleep time goes d 60 to 6.5 hours a night. We need l 61 sleep as we get older. About one in three Americans has a p 62 with sleep. Many of these people cannot fall asleep. The n 63 of this problem is insomnia. Some people say, “I didn’t sleep all night.” But that’s not really true. They may sleep lightly and wake up s 64 times. In the morning, they only remember the times when they were awake, so they think they were awake all night. This is not a new problem. Many f 65 people in history had insomnia. Some of these people had special ideas to make them sleep. Benjamin Franklin had four beds. He moved from one to another to fall asleep. Mark Twain had a different way. He lay on his side across the end of the bed! 【答案】 56．(d)ies 57．(t)hird 58．(d)ifferent 59．(a)dult 60．(d)own 61．(l)ess 62．(p)roblem 63．(n)ame 64．(s)everal 65．(f)amous 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲了睡眠的重要性、不同人群所需睡眠时长、美国人的睡眠问题及历史上著名人物的失眠情况展开。 56．句意：睡眠非常重要。一个不睡觉的人比一个不吃饭的人死得更快。根据“Sleep is very important.”可知睡眠很关键，从逻辑上能推断出不睡觉比不吃饭的后果更严重，结合首字母“d”，“die”表示“死亡”，此处主语是第三人称单数，且描述客观事实用一般现在时，所以动词用第三人称单数形式“dies”。故填(d)ies。 57．句意：我们一生中大约三分之一的时间都在睡觉。那每年大约就是121天！根据“That’s about 121 days a year!”可知，一年按365天左右计算，121天大致是一年的三分之一，结合首字母“t”，“a third of...”表示“……的三分之一”，符合语境。故填(t)hird。 58．句意：我们需要多少睡眠呢？我们都是不同的。根据“A baby needs 16 hours of sleep every day. Children 6 to 12 years old need an average of ten to twelve hours of sleep. Teenagers need nine to ten hours of sleep. ”可知，分别介绍了婴儿、6 - 12岁儿童、青少年、成年人以及50岁以后人群所需的不同睡眠时间，由此可知不同人群需要的睡眠时长不一样，结合首字母“d”，“different”表示“不同的”，符合语境。故填(d)ifferent。 59．句意：一个成年人每晚平均需要7到8小时的睡眠。根据“A baby needs 16 hours of sleep every day. Children 6 to 12 years old need an average of ten to twelve hours of sleep. Teenagers need nine to ten hours of sleep. ”可知，婴儿、儿童、青少年，按照年龄阶段的顺序，接下来应介绍成年人的睡眠需求，结合首字母“a”，“adult”表示“成年人”，前面有不定冠词“an”，所以用单数形式。故填(a)dult。 60．句意：50岁以后，每晚的平均睡眠时间就降到了6.5小时。根据“an average of seven to eight hours a night.”可知，成年人需要7 - 8小时睡眠，50岁后变成6.5小时，睡眠时间减少了，结合首字母“d”，go down“下降，降低”，符合语境。故填(d)own。 61．句意：随着年龄的增长，我们需要更少的睡眠。根据“A baby needs 16 hours of sleep every day. Children 6 to 12 years old need an average of ten to twelve hours of sleep. Teenagers need nine to ten hours of sleep. ”可知，从婴儿到50岁以后的人群，所需睡眠时长逐渐减少，所以此处表示年龄越大，需要的睡眠越少，结合首字母“l”，“less”是“little”的比较级，意为“更少的”，修饰不可数名词“sleep”。故填(l)ess。 62．句意：大约三分之一的美国人有睡眠问题。根据“Many of these people cannot fall asleep.”以及“The...of this problem is insomnia”可知，此处说的是有睡眠方面的问题，结合首字母“p”，“problem”表示“问题”，前面有不定冠词“a”，用单数形式。故填(p)roblem。 63．句意：这个问题的名字叫失眠。根据“this problem is insomnia”可知，此处是说这个问题的名称，结合首字母“n”，“name”表示“名字，名称”，用单数形式。故填(n)ame。 64．句意：他们可能睡得很轻，并且醒几次。根据“In the morning, they only remember the times when they were awake, so they think they were awake all night.”可知，他们夜间醒的次数多，所以早上才会觉得一整晚都没睡，结合首字母“s”，“several”表示“几个，若干”，符合语境。故填(s)everal。 65．句意：历史上很多著名的人都有失眠症。根据“Benjamin Franklin had four beds. He moved from one to another to fall asleep. Mark Twain had a different way. He lay on his side across the end of the bed!”可知，此处列举了本杰明·富兰克林和马克·吐温，他们都是历史上有名的人物，结合首字母“f”，“famous”表示“著名的”，修饰名词“people”。故填(f)amous。 六、阅读与回答问题（本题共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） Following the success of village soccer and basketball leagues in Guizhou Province, village marathon (马拉松) events have become very popular in the countryside across China. On November 26, 2023, nearly 10, 000 runners from home and abroad took part in the third Mount Fanjing Winter Marathon in Tongren city. The event was held on China’s first-ever track (道) made specifically for a marathon, which goes through wonderful scenery. It is less about competition and more about the joy of experiencing rural life. “City marathons might be boring sometimes, while rural marathons are more interesting. Running through the mountains, rivers and countryside, you not only experience the local customs, but also feel like you are running through a painting,” said one of the Mount Fanjing runners, Li Linlin, “The race is a trip. After the marathon, I plan to climb Mount Fanjing to appreciate the beauty of the world’s heritage (遗产).” Mount Fanjing was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2018. The local government has been promoting sports tourism in the area, and the marathon has become a key part of their efforts. In addition to the race, there are also cultural events and activities for runners and their families to enjoy. Local people sell traditional handicrafts, and there are special folk performances of music and dance. The marathon has become a celebration of rural life and a way to promote the beauty and culture of the region. According to a report, there are more than 30 million road running lovers in China. In the first half of 2023, there were 303 road running events taking place in China. In addition to well-known international events such as the Beijing and Shanghai marathons, the races held in rural areas have attracted more and more runners who want to experience running in a village. 66．Where were the runners from in the third Mount Fanjing Winter Marathon? 67．How many times has Mount Fanjing Winter Marathon been held at present? 68．How long has Mount Fanjing been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site? 69．What can runners and their families do besides taking part in the race? 70．What do you think of Mount Fanjing Winter Marathon in Tongren city? (自拟一句作答) 【答案】66．They were from home and abroad. 67．Three times. 68．Since 2018. 69．They can enjoy cultural events and activities. 70．It is interesting/ meaningful...(合理即可) 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，介绍了在中国乡村马拉松赛事的兴起，特别是贵州省梵净山冬季马拉松的成功。文章详细描述了马拉松赛事的参与情况、赛道特点、参与者的感受，以及当地政府如何通过体育旅游推广该地区。 66．根据文章第二段首句“On November 26, 2023, nearly 10, 000 runners from home and abroad took part in the third Mount Fanjing Winter Marathon in Tongren city.”可知，参加第三届梵净山冬季马拉松的选手来自国内外。故填They were from home and abroad. 67．根据文章第二段首句“On November 26, 2023, nearly 10, 000 runners from home and abroad took part in the third Mount Fanjing Winter Marathon in Tongren city.”可知，这是第三届梵净山冬季马拉松，因此目前已经举办了三次。故填Three times. 68．根据文章第四段首句“Mount Fanjing was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2018.”可知，梵净山于2018年被列为联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录。故填Since 2018. 69．根据文章第五段首句“In addition to the race, there are also cultural events and activities for runners and their families to enjoy.”可知，除了比赛，选手和他们的家人还可以享受文化活动和活动。故填They can enjoy cultural events and activities. 70．这是一个开放性问题，答案因人而异。但可以根据文章内容和常识来回答。例如，可以认为铜仁市的梵净山冬季马拉松很有趣或很有意义，因为选手可以在比赛中欣赏美丽的乡村风景和体验当地文化。故填It is interesting/ meaningful...(合理即可)。 七、书面表达 （本题满分25分） 71．假如你是Amy，你们学校要为中秋晚会招聘英语主持人, 你打算报名参加。请根据下面的信息写一封自荐信，并写出你想成为主持人的理由。 1.

I’d been standing there for at least three minutes!   Controlling 14 , I remembered Mom’s words. “Whenever you find yourself in an 15 situation, just think about what is missing. If someone is unkind, then kindness is missing. If someone is hateful, then 16 is missing. If we will be what’s missing, then we’ll provide whatever the situation needs.” And here I was in an unpleasant situation. 17 should I “be what’s missing”? What was missing was 18 .

The biggest are Chinese, English, Spanish, Arabic and Hindi. Next come Portuguese, Bengali, Russian, Japanese, French and German. But the world has about seven thousand languages. As many as half of these may be at risk of disappearing by the end of this century. That would mean one language dies every two weeks. Members of the Siletz Indian tribe (部落) in Oregon, a northwestern state of America, take pride in their language. Their language, they say, “is as old as time itself.” But today, very few people can speak it well. More than ten thousand words and phrases can be found in the Siletz Online Talking Dictionary. Professor Harrison has posted talking dictionaries for seven other highly endangered languages from around the world. __①__ Smartphone Apps, YouTube videos and Facebook pages have all become digital (数码的) tools for language experts. Professor Harrison and the researchers in Oregon have mapped areas of endangered languages. One is the Pacific Northwest in the United States. Others include the upper Amazon basin (亚马逊盆地) in South America, Siberia (西伯利亚) and northern Australia. __②__ In Canada’s far north, the Inuit (因纽特) people are trying hard to save their native language, Inuktitut. Part of the effort comes from Microsoft. The company is translating words in its Windows operating system and Office software into Inuktitut. __③__ Nowadays, so many people spend their whole day sitting in front of a computer. If you’re sitting in front of your computer in English all day, that just improves your English. If you’re now using Inuktitut, that is your language. Microsoft has also worked with language experts in New Zealand, Spain and Wales to translate its software into more different languages, such as Maori, Basque, Catalan and Welsh. __④__ 26．People of the Siletz Indian tribe are proud of their language because ________. A．it has a long history B．it was created in Northwest America C．few people speak it smoothly D．it’s hard to count the number of it 27．Which is the most suitable place to put the sentence “He says technology can spread the influence of major languages but also help save endangered ones.”? A．① B．② C．③ D．④ 28．What is the text mainly about? A．Efforts made to find endangered languages. B．The languages having the most speakers worldwide. C．The contributions researchers made to the Siletz Indian. D．The influences of modern technology on endangered languages. B Just a few days after his 18th birthday, Beijing 2022 gold medal winner Su Yiming received a surprise gift—a letter from Xi Jinping, President of the People’s Republic of China. In the letter, Xi expressed his congratulations to Su and other sportsmen in ice and snow sports for their great achievements at the Beijing Winter Olympics, hoping what they had achieved would encourage young Chinese to aim (立目标) high. When Su first stepped onto a snowboard at the age of four, a future as a world-class sportsman seemed to be “a dream too big” for him. Little did he know that he would not only compete for his country but also take home gold. With the great excitement of winning an Olympic gold medal still fresh in his mind, Su wrote a letter to the president, telling him how lucky he felt to have made his dream come true. Su still remembers what Xi wrote in the reply, “The new era is the time for young people to realize their dreams? ” “I have always kept those words in my mind, ” Su said, “When I made up my mind to be a professional (职业的) snowboarder, I know there is a big gap between my performance (表现) and that of the top sportsmen in the world. But I have been working hard to realize my dream. Now my story shows the fact that hard work will pay off.” Su said. Su believes the sky is the limit. “Find the thing you love, believe in yourself and do your very best. Finally, your dream will come true.” Now Su has his strong wish to win all the competitions in his sporting field. 29．What was the surprise gift Su Yiming got after his birthday? A．A letter. B．A gold medal. C．A birthday cake. D．A snowboard. 30．Su wrote a letter to the president to _________. A．invite young Chinese to try snow sports B．encourage young Chinese to make big plans C．express his excitement of realizing his dream D．congratulate Chinese sportsmen on their achievements 31．The underlined word in Paragraph 6 probably means ________. A．agreement B．difference C．fight D．relationship 32．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A．Ice and snow sports B．Aim high and win big C．Su Yiming’s achievements D．A too big dream C An old saying used for forecasting (预测) the weather says, “Red sky at night, sailors’ delight. Red sky in the morning, sailors (水手) take warning.” Is the saying true? It turns out that it is. A red sky at sunset may mean that there are clear skies to the west, where the sun sets. A red sky at sunrise usually means that the clear weather has already passed, so storms might be coming. Forecasting the weather has been practiced for thousands of years. In the 5th century BC, the Greeks sent out forecasts to sailors. They used signs in nature to forecast the weather. But today, meteorologists send exact forecasts further in advance (提前). They use scientific instruments to study weather conditions around the world and make forecasts. Pilots, farmers and many other people depend on these forecasts. Luckily, most of us can simply look on the smart phone or turn on the TV to find out what kind of weather is coming. If you are looking for some signs of the weather, pay attention to nature. There are two basic rules used in weather forecasting: Weather generally moves from west to east, and low air pressure (压力) usually means rain or snow. So pay attention to the signs. If rainbows form in the west at sunrise, the sun is on the way. Smell the flowers— their smells are stronger in wet air. What are the ants doing? Are they moving to higher ground? This could mean a drop in air pressure. Are the birds flying low or high? Falling air pressure may influence birds’ ears, so they fly low.

D Chinese Zhurong rover on the surface of Mars has been doing research into how the planet changed in climate about 400,000 years ago. Mars is also known as the “Red Planet”, because it’s red! It can get pretty cold on Mars, much colder than our own planet, since it’s further away from the sun. Data collected by the Zhurong rover, which landed on Mars in 2021, shows the wind direction on the southern Utopian Plainhad changed 70℃ from north- east to north-west. This caused the crescent-shaped (新月形的) dunes (沙丘) that had formed during the last glacial (冰川的) period into long, dark ridges. A ridge is a raised line where two sloping surfaces (坡面) meet. Scientists analyzed (分析) the wind direction by studying the surface structure of Mars. The ridges were once discovered by spacecraft in the orbit of Mars but it was never clear what caused their formation. The Zhurong ro ver went into sleeping mode in May 2022 and was meant to start operations in December 2022 but has been out of action since, most likely because it is covered in dust. It was the first Chinese rover to land on Mars. China also placed its Tianwen-1 orbiter (轨道器) around Mars, which sent the data collected by the Zhurong ro ver to the earth. Tianwen-1 entered Mars’s orbit on February 10, 2021. “The research on the climate change of Mars has been of great concern (关注) for a long time,” said Li Chunlai, a scientist of the study. Mars is the most similar planet to the earth in the solar system, so understanding the climate evolution of Mars helps scientists better understand the history of the earth and other planets. 37．It’s very cold on Mars because ________. A．it’s a red planet B．it’s far from the sun C．it’s smaller than the earth D．it’s over 40000 years old 38．Which picture shows a “ridge” to us? A． B． C． D． 39．Scientists directly got the data on Mars from ________. A．the Zhurong rover B．the Tianwen-1 orbiter C．the Tiangong space station D．the satellite around the earth 40．What’s the last paragraph mainly about? A．Scientists’ hard work. B．The climate evolution of Mars. C．The importance of the research. D．The history of the earth and other planets. 第二节 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出五个可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last very long. 41 You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous(慷慨的) ; be understanding. Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend's trust. 42 Generousity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes, of course. Instead you have to learn how to share things you enjoy, your hobbies and interests. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. 43 They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them you help your friend know you better. Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. 44 So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better. 45 But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friendships, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding. A．To have a friend, you must learn to be one. B．A friend in need is a friend indeed. C．No two friendships are ever exacty alike. D．Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. E．These can be valuable to a friend.

Once again, my experiment had refused to work. I felt 46 (hope). A few months earlier, when I had just started the project, I was confident. “I 47 (succeed) if I work hard enough.” I encouraged myself. So I spent long hours in the lab every day. When the experiment failed, I 48 (simple) worked harder. Yet here I was, working harder than ever—but not getting anywhere. I didn’t know what to do. It was late in the evening. One other person was still in the lab, and he noticed my 49 (worry) face. He came over and asked how I was doing. “I 50 (try) thousands of times so far, but...” I told him about my problems. After we talked through the experiment, “I think it’s time to go home and get some sleep. Taking a break is also hard work, you know,” he said with a smile. Those words opened my eyes. I no longer made 51 (me) work too hard in the lab. I felt less stressed and my research started to make progress. One day, I 52 (drink) coffee at a cafe, when my professor came in. We discussed the habit of working too hard together. He said, “We need to work smarter, not 53 (hard).” I felt a little surprised. I had never heard my professor 54 (say) anything like this. Our conversation that day helped me understand that exciting ideas can hardly come from a mind under pressure. My best ideas almost always 55 (come) when I have allowed my mind to relax—whether that’s cooking a nice dinner or going on long hikes with my brother. Part of working smarter, I realized, can be taking a break. Today, I try to pass this idea on to my own students. Work-life balance is not a barrier to excellent research. It is an important part of it. 五、短文填空（本题共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） Sleep is very important. A person who does not sleep d 56 faster than a person who does not eat. We spend about a t 57 of our lives on sleep. That’s about 121 days a year! How much sleep do we need? We are all d 58 . A baby needs 16 hours of sleep every day. Children 6 to 12 years old need an average (平均) of ten to twelve hours of sleep. Teenagers need nine to ten hours of sleep. An a 59 needs an average of seven to eight hours a night. There are some people who need only three hours of sleep. Others need ten hours of sleep. After the age of 50, the average sleep time goes d 60 to 6.5 hours a night. We need l 61 sleep as we get older. About one in three Americans has a p 62 with sleep. Many of these people cannot fall asleep. The n 63 of this problem is insomnia. Some people say, “I didn’t sleep all night.” But that’s not really true. They may sleep lightly and wake up s 64 times. In the morning, they only remember the times when they were awake, so they think they were awake all night. This is not a new problem. Many f 65 people in history had insomnia. Some of these people had special ideas to make them sleep. Benjamin Franklin had four beds. He moved from one to another to fall asleep. Mark Twain had a different way. He lay on his side across the end of the bed! 六、阅读与回答问题（本题共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） Following the success of village soccer and basketball leagues in Guizhou Province, village marathon (马拉松) events have become very popular in the countryside across China. On November 26, 2023, nearly 10, 000 runners from home and abroad took part in the third Mount Fanjing Winter Marathon in Tongren city. The event was held on China’s first-ever track (道) made specifically for a marathon, which goes through wonderful scenery. It is less about competition and more about the joy of experiencing rural life. “City marathons might be boring sometimes, while rural marathons are more interesting. Running through the mountains, rivers and countryside, you not only experience the local customs, but also feel like you are running through a painting,” said one of the Mount Fanjing runners, Li Linlin, “The race is a trip. After the marathon, I plan to climb Mount Fanjing to appreciate the beauty of the world’s heritage (遗产).” Mount Fanjing was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2018. The local government has been promoting sports tourism in the area, and the marathon has become a key part of their efforts. In addition to the race, there are also cultural events and activities for runners and their families to enjoy. Local people sell traditional handicrafts, and there are special folk performances of music and dance. The marathon has become a celebration of rural life and a way to promote the beauty and culture of the region. According to a report, there are more than 30 million road running lovers in China. In the first half of 2023, there were 303 road running events taking place in China. In addition to well-known international events such as the Beijing and Shanghai marathons, the races held in rural areas have attracted more and more runners who want to experience running in a village. 66．Where were the runners from in the third Mount Fanjing Winter Marathon? 67．How many times has Mount Fanjing Winter Marathon been held at present? 68．How long has Mount Fanjing been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site? 69．What can runners and their families do besides taking part in the race? 70．What do you think of Mount Fanjing Winter Marathon in Tongren city?
