In my life everything was going well until the time I married. I had always been a very optimistic person and I always believed that I could overcome any challenge or win any person’s heart with my perseverance. But unfortunately my marriage failed, and that defeat hit me very hard. I went through a very difficult period of time when I had to decide to move house and I couldn’t help complaining that life was so cruel to me. I started losing my faith in life and decided to quit completely and withdraw myself from society.
But somewhere inside, I had a deep feeling of serving needy people. That was because in childhood I was inspired by Mother Teresa and the work she was doing. So after three months of suffering, I decided to do community service every weekend to divert my attention. I joined a non-profit organization I used to support financially in my early career.
I was given a project to teach poor children in the suburbs. I started that activity and on the first day when I reached the location, I walked inside a remote village. There I could see people living in very difficult conditions. They had no access to electricity and they lacked proper road connectivity. But they still enjoyed their lives and lived happily with their surroundings.
My interactions with the kids and parents have taught me valuable lessons about learning to celebrate daily gifts of life. Since that project, I have never looked back. I have met some wonderful and beautiful souls in this journey and they have made me believe that we are making changes and touching the lives of many people.

In recent years, advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have brought both excitement and concerns to various fields. One area where AI is making a profound impact is the medical field, particularly in the domain of diagnostics.
AI-powered diagnostic systems leverage deep learning algorithms to analyze medical images, such as X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans. These algorithms can detect subtle patterns and anomalies that might be missed by human radiologists, potentially leading to earlier and more accurate diagnoses.
However, the integration of AI in medical diagnostics raises complex ethical questions. For instance, who should be held responsible if an AI system misdiagnoses a patient’s condition? Should AI algorithms be treated as medical professionals, with legal and liability implications? These questions become even more intricate when considering that AI systems learn from vast datasets of medical information, which might contain biases or inaccuracies.
Furthermore, the adoption of AI diagnostics could impact the role of healthcare professionals. Some argue that AI could enhance doctors’ capabilities by providing them with additional insights, while others fear that it might replace human expertise, leading to job losses and a potential decrease in the quality of patient care. Despite these challenges, advocates of AI diagnostics emphasize its potential to improve healthcare accessibility, especially in underserved regions where there is a shortage of skilled medical professionals. AI-powered diagnostics could provide preliminary assessments and recommendations, helping to bridge the gap between patients and healthcare providers.

You probably know the feeling of having a hearty meal at a restaurant, full and satisfied, but only take a look at the dessert menu and you decide the cheesecake looks just irresistible. Why do you somehow make an exception for a sweet treat, since you are too full to have another bite? Thanks to a recent study, scientists now have a better understanding of the origins of this urge.
Working with mice, researchers tried to set up a situation similar to the human experience described above. They started by offering a standard diet to mice who hadn’t eaten since the previous day. That “meal” period lasted for 90 minutes, and the mice ate until they couldn’t eat any more. Then it was time for a 30-minute “dessert” period. In the first round of the experiment, researchers offered mice extra regular food for dessert, and the mice ate just a little bit more. In the second round, during the “dessert” period, they offered a high-sugar feed to the mice for 30 minutes. The mice really went for the sugary feed, consuming six times more calories than in the first round.
In the mice, researchers monitored the activity of neurons (神经元) that are associated with feelings of fullness. They found that when the mice were eating the high sugar diet, the neurons released a chemical which was related to pleasure sensors in their brain and caused a feeling of reward, making the mice keep eating. When the team blocked the release of the chemical, the mice stayed away from the sugar. The researchers found the same went for humans when scanning the brains of volunteers, who were fed sugar drinks. This led the scientists to conclude that the neuron action in the human brain drives the consumption of high-sugar foods.
Researchers say the follow-up studies on this neural reward system could throw light on how sugar overconsumption may contribute to the development of obesity.
12. Why did the researchers carry out the study?
A. To test new diets for mice B. To improve dessert quality.
C. To help people eat healthily. D. To explain the urge for sweets.
13. What does Paragraph 2 tell us about the research?
A The process. B. The result C. The basis. D. The subject.
14. What may lead to humans’ sugar overconsumption?
A. The feeling of being full. B. The blocking of certain neurons.
C. The release of a chemical. D. The presence of pleasure sensors.
15. What is the best title for this passage?
A. What Makes Mice Prefer Sugar B. Why There’s Always Room for Sugar
C. How We Resist the Temptation of Sugar D. Whether Consuming Sugar Causes Obesity
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究解释人饱餐后仍想吃甜食的原因:实验显示高糖食物激活相关神经元释放化学物质,带来愉悦奖励,驱动继续进食,后续研究或助于了解肥胖。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Why do you somehow make an exception for a sweet treat, since you are too full to have another bite? Thanks to a recent study, scientists now have a better understanding of the origins of this urge.(为什么你会例外地给自己来一份甜食呢?毕竟你已经吃得太饱了,根本吃不下第二口了。多亏了最近的一项研究,科学家们现在对这种欲望的起源有了更深入的了解)”可知,研究人员开展这项研究是为了解释对甜食的渴望。故选D。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Working with mice, researchers tried to set up a situation similar to the human experience described above. They started by offering a standard diet to mice who hadn’t eaten since the previous day. That “meal” period lasted for 90 minutes, and the mice ate until they couldn’t eat any more.

In the second round, during the “dessert” period, they offered a high-sugar feed to the mice for 30 minutes. The mice really went for the sugary feed, consuming six times more calories than in the first round.(研究人员以老鼠为实验对象,试图营造出与上述人类经历相似的情境。他们首先给那些自前一天起就未进食的老鼠提供常规食物。这一“进食”阶段持续了90分钟,老鼠会一直进食直到再也吃不下为止。接下来是30分钟的“甜点”阶段。在第一轮实验中,研究人员为老鼠提供了额外的常规食物作为“甜点”,老鼠的进食量只是比第一轮多了一点点。在第二轮实验中,在“甜点”阶段,他们给老鼠提供了一种高糖食物,持续30分钟。老鼠真的对这种高糖食物情有独钟,摄入的热量是第一轮的六倍)”可知,第二段向我们介绍了这项研究的研究过程。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“They found that when the mice were eating the high sugar diet, the neurons released a chemical which was related to pleasure sensors in their brain and caused a feeling of reward, making the mice keep eating. When the team blocked the release of the chemical, the mice stayed away from the sugar. The researchers found the same went for humans when scanning the brains of volunteers, who were fed sugar drinks. This led the scientists to conclude that the neuron action in the human brain drives the consumption of high-sugar foods.(他们发现,当老鼠食用高糖饮食时,其神经元会释放一种与大脑中的愉悦感受器相关的化学物质,从而引发一种奖赏感,使老鼠持续进食。当研究团队阻止这种化学物质的释放时,老鼠便不再靠近糖源。当研究人员对接受含糖饮料的志愿者的大脑进行扫描时,也发现了同样的情况。这使得科学家们得出结论:人类大脑中的神经元活动驱动着对高糖食物的摄入)”可知,导致人类过度摄入糖分的原因可能是一种化学物质的释放。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Why do you somehow make an exception for a sweet treat, since you are too full to have another bite? Thanks to a recent study, scientists now have a better understanding of the origins of this urge.(为什么你会例外地给自己来一份甜食呢?毕竟你已经吃得太饱了,根本吃不下第二口了。多亏了最近一项研究,科学家们现在对这种欲望的起源有了更深入的了解)”结合文章主要说明了研究解释人饱餐后仍想吃甜食的原因:实验显示高糖食物激活相关神经元释放化学物质,带来愉悦奖励,驱动继续进食,后续研究或助于了解肥胖。可知,B选项“为什么总有吃糖的余地?”最符合文章标题。故选B。

45. better
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲述了设计师范燕燕(Fan Yanyan)如何以丝绸为媒介,促进中国与中亚之间的文化交流。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:她的灵感来自古代贸易路线上的重要中心甘肃省敦煌的壁画艺术,她一直在设计丝绸作品,促进中国和中亚之间的文化交流。句中谓语是has been designing,空格处用非谓语动词,由by可知,空格处用过去分词表被动,作状语,位于句首,首字母大写。故填Inspired。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:她的灵感来自古代贸易路线上的重要中心甘肃省敦煌的壁画艺术,她一直在设计丝绸作品,促进中国和中亚之间的文化交流。空格处引导的是限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词silk works是物,因此用关系代词that/which引导定语从句。故填that/which。
【38题详解】
考查时态,被动语态和主谓一致。句意:2023年,中国—中亚峰会在陕西西安举行,她的多幅作品被选为官方礼品。主语“中国—中亚峰会”是被举办,且描述过去的事情,因此句子用一般过去时的被动语态,主语the China-Central Asia Summit是单数,因此空格处是was held。故填was held。
【39题详解】
考查名词性物主代词。句意:2023年,中国—中亚峰会在陕西西安举行,她的多幅作品被选为官方礼品。根据语境可知,句子表示“她的多幅作品被选为官方礼品”,空格处用名词性物主代词hers表示“她的”,作宾语。故填hers。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意:范还带领她的团队为峰会特别设计了丝巾,灵感来自中亚元素,比如吉尔吉斯斯坦常见的阿依古丽花,以及通过丝绸之路传入中国的石榴花。空格处用副词specially修饰动词design,specially意为“特别地,专门地”。故填specially。
41题详解】
考查冠词。句意:同年10月,她在吉尔吉斯斯坦首都比什凯克的吉尔吉斯共和国国家历史博物馆举办了以中国丝绸艺术为主题的展览。exhibition是可数名词的单数形式,表泛指,前面要加不定冠词,exhibition发音以元音音素开头,因此不定冠词用an。故填an。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:她自己的丝绸艺术中心也作为交流的平台。serve as是固定短语,意为“作为”,因此空格处是介词as。故填as。
【43题详解】
考查不定式。句意:范说:“我用丝绸作为媒介,通过原创作品来呈现和表达中国传统文化和丝绸之路文化,为它们注入当代意义。”use sth.to do sth.是固定搭配,意为“用某物做某事”,用不定式作目的状语。故填to present。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:范说:“我用丝绸作为媒介,通过原创作品来呈现和表达中国传统文化和丝绸之路文化,为它们注入当代意义。”空格处用形容词作定语,修饰名词creations,origin是形容词是original,意为“原创的”,故填original。
【45题详解】
考查比较级。句意:通过以独特的审美和态度讲述中国故事,我希望世界能更好地理解和欣赏我们的传统文化。根据语境可知,表示“更好地理解和欣赏我们的传统文化”,空格处用副词 well的比较级better修饰动词understand and appreciate,作状语,意为“更好地”。故填better。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In a house far from the city lived John and his mother. John’s only hobby was wandering in the nearby picturesque forest. In its center was a shiny clear lake with schools of fish dancing in it. Lovely animals such as deer or rabbits were playing around and cute birds were singing in trees. Fascinated by the beauty and liveliness of nature, he desired to become a great artist and present all the breath-taking scenes to the world.
John studied in the local primary school. Life was not easy for John and his mom after his father died. Knowing what hard work his mother did to make ends meet, John really didn’t want his mother to worry. His mother knew the significance of education in life but she was against his dream of becoming an artist. “The profession of artist can’t aid a person in meeting his daily expenses,” she would say. But as each day passed, John’s dream became more passionate.
Due to the living circumstances, even buying some new colors would be a luxury. John only used the worn drawing file and limited colors for his daily practice. Though lacking fine painting materials, he never gave up drawing. He spent a significant amount of time staying in the forest, secretly perfecting his craft. With continuous hard work and a distinct gift for art, he drew beautifully.
One day John read about a competition being held in the town, whose deadline was only two days away. He got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire but he was in a dilemma (两难境地) as for the competition he needed special paints and some brushes. He didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money as he knew her prejudice against art.
That evening his mom returned from work and handed him a few paper notes, saying, “This is for your lunch at school next month.” The money was enough for his desired materials! John’s face lit up.
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。
Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A week later, a phone call came to John’s home.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money. Hastily, he bought paper and pens for painting, and then dashed to the completion. After signing up for it, he was given the task. It was his time. He was deeply absorbed in his work, forgetting everything around him. After finishing his task, he went home, with birds singing for him. Every day, he looked forward to the result happily and anxiously, though he felt hungry. It seemed that the time stopped.
A week later, a phone call came to John’s home. Hearing what the man said, his mother felt puzzled, not knowing how his son had done it, because she knew it needed money. As soon as John arrived home, his mother told him the news, and waited for his explanation. Knowing the truth, her eyes welled up with tears. Hugging her son tightly, she apologized to him. But he was happy, not only because he had got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire, but also he was awarded a lot of money because of his work.
【解析】
【导语】本篇书面表达是读后续写。本文以人物为线索展开。 John喜欢画画,但是家里很穷。虽然母亲不支持他画画,但是他还是想尽办法坚持。有一天,他得知镇上正在举行绘画比赛,他很高兴,但是却没有钱买绘画用品。恰好这天妈妈给了他下个月的午餐费。这些钱足够买材料了。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“第二天一早,约翰带着钱偷偷地离开了家。”可知,第一段可以描写约翰离开家后的活动和他的心理活动。
②由第二段句首内容“一周后,一个电话打到了约翰的家。”可知,第二段可以描写约翰妈妈接到电话后的表情和心理活动,妈妈知道真相时的表情、动作和语言,最后升华文章的主旨:坚持会有回报。
2.续写线索:离家—买东西—参赛—回家—得知消息—解释—回报
3.词汇激活
行为类
①猛冲:dash/ dart/ leap
②全神贯注于:be absorbed in/ concentrate on
③期盼:look forward to/long for
情绪类
①高兴的:happily/joyfully/delightedly
②焦急地:anxiously/ nervously/ worriedly
【点睛】【高分句型1】He was deeply absorbed in his work, forgetting everything around him. ( 运用了现在分词forgetting作伴随状语)
【高分句型2】After finishing his task, he went home, with birds singing for him. ( 运用了with复合结构)
【高分句型3】Knowing the truth, her eyes welled up with tears. (运用了现在分词Knowing作原因状语)

In my life everything was going well until the time I married. I had always been a very optimistic person and I always believed that I could overcome any challenge or win any person’s heart with my perseverance. But unfortunately my marriage failed, and that defeat hit me very hard. I went through a very difficult period of time when I had to decide to move house and I couldn’t help complaining that life was so cruel to me. I started losing my faith in life and decided to quit completely and withdraw myself from society.
But somewhere inside, I had a deep feeling of serving needy people. That was because in childhood I was inspired by Mother Teresa and the work she was doing. So after three months of suffering, I decided to do community service every weekend to divert my attention. I joined a non-profit organization I used to support financially in my early career.
I was given a project to teach poor children in the suburbs. I started that activity and on the first day when I reached the location, I walked inside a remote village. There I could see people living in very difficult conditions. They had no access to electricity and they lacked proper road connectivity. But they still enjoyed their lives and lived happily with their surroundings.
My interactions with the kids and parents have taught me valuable lessons about learning to celebrate daily gifts of life. Since that project, I have never looked back. I have met some wonderful and beautiful souls in this journey and they have made me believe that we are making changes and touching the lives of many people.

C. Her marriage failed. D. She had to move out of town.
5. Who inspired the author to help people in need?
A. Her mother. B. Mother Teresa. C. Her husband. D. A non-profit organization.

7. What did the author learn from the project?
A. Life in the suburbs is much easier. B. We should treasure our present life.

In recent years, advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have brought both excitement and concerns to various fields. One area where AI is making a profound impact is the medical field, particularly in the domain of diagnostics.
AI-powered diagnostic systems leverage deep learning algorithms to analyze medical images, such as X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans. These algorithms can detect subtle patterns and anomalies that might be missed by human radiologists, potentially leading to earlier and more accurate diagnoses.
However, the integration of AI in medical diagnostics raises complex ethical questions. For instance, who should be held responsible if an AI system misdiagnoses a patient’s condition? Should AI algorithms be treated as medical professionals, with legal and liability implications? These questions become even more intricate when considering that AI systems learn from vast datasets of medical information, which might contain biases or inaccuracies.
Furthermore, the adoption of AI diagnostics could impact the role of healthcare professionals. Some argue that AI could enhance doctors’ capabilities by providing them with additional insights, while others fear that it might replace human expertise, leading to job losses and a potential decrease in the quality of patient care. Despite these challenges, advocates of AI diagnostics emphasize its potential to improve healthcare accessibility, especially in underserved regions where there is a shortage of skilled medical professionals. AI-powered diagnostics could provide preliminary assessments and recommendations, helping to bridge the gap between patients and healthcare providers.
8. What is the primary advantage of AI-powered diagnostic systems in the medical field?
A. They analyze medical images using deep learning algorithms.
B. They provide additional insights to doctors.
C. They replace the need for human radiologists.
D. They focus on detecting visible patterns in medical images.
9. What is a potential ethical concern regarding AI in medical diagnostics?
A. The potential for AI algorithms to replace human doctors.
B. The legal responsibility for misdiagnoses made by AI systems.
C. The reliability of AI algorithms in analyzing medical images.
D. The biased data used for training AI algorithms.
10. How might the integration of AI diagnostics impact healthcare professionals?
A. AI could enhance doctors’ expertise and skills.
B. AI could decrease the quality of patient care.
C. AI could replace human doctors completely.
D. AI could lead to job losses in the medical field.
11. What potential benefit of AI diagnostics is highlighted in the text?
A. AI diagnostics could bridge the gap in healthcare accessibility.
B. AI diagnostics could decrease the quality of patient care.
C. AI diagnostics could primarily serve regions with sufficient medical professionals.
D. AI diagnostics could replace the need for skilled radiologists.

You probably know the feeling of having a hearty meal at a restaurant, full and satisfied, but only take a look at the dessert menu and you decide the cheesecake looks just irresistible. Why do you somehow make an exception for a sweet treat, since you are too full to have another bite? Thanks to a recent study, scientists now have a better understanding of the origins of this urge.
Working with mice, researchers tried to set up a situation similar to the human experience described above. They started by offering a standard diet to mice who hadn’t eaten since the previous day. That “meal” period lasted for 90 minutes, and the mice ate until they couldn’t eat any more. Then it was time for a 30-minute “dessert” period. In the first round of the experiment, researchers offered mice extra regular food for dessert, and the mice ate just a little bit more. In the second round, during the “dessert” period, they offered a high-sugar feed to the mice for 30 minutes. The mice really went for the sugary feed, consuming six times more calories than in the first round.
In the mice, researchers monitored the activity of neurons (神经元) that are associated with feelings of fullness. They found that when the mice were eating the high sugar diet, the neurons released a chemical which was related to pleasure sensors in their brain and caused a feeling of reward, making the mice keep eating. When the team blocked the release of the chemical, the mice stayed away from the sugar. The researchers found the same went for humans when scanning the brains of volunteers, who were fed sugar drinks. This led the scientists to conclude that the neuron action in the human brain drives the consumption of high-sugar foods.
Researchers say the follow-up studies on this neural reward system could throw light on how sugar overconsumption may contribute to the development of obesity.
12. Why did the researchers carry out the study?
A. To test new diets for mice B. To improve dessert quality.
C. To help people eat healthily. D. To explain the urge for sweets.
13. What does Paragraph 2 tell us about the research?
A. The process. B. The result C. The basis. D. The subject.
14. What may lead to humans’ sugar overconsumption?
A. The feeling of being full. B. The blocking of certain neurons.
C. The release of a chemical. D. The presence of pleasure sensors.
15. What is the best title for this passage?
A. What Makes Mice Prefer Sugar B. Why There’s Always Room for Sugar
C. How We Resist the Temptation of Sugar D. Whether Consuming Sugar Causes Obesity

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In a house far from the city lived John and his mother. John’s only hobby was wandering in the nearby picturesque forest. In its center was a shiny clear lake with schools of fish dancing in it. Lovely animals such as deer or rabbits were playing around and cute birds were singing in trees. Fascinated by the beauty and liveliness of nature he desired to become a great artist and present all the breath-taking scenes to the world.
John studied in the local primary school. Life was not easy for John and his mom after his father died. Knowing what hard work his mother did to make ends meet, John really didn’t want his mother to worry. His mother knew the significance of education in life but she was against his dream of becoming an artist. “The profession of artist can’t aid a person in meeting his daily expenses,” she would say. But as each day passed, John’s dream became more passionate.
Due to the living circumstances, even buying some new colors would be a luxury. John only used the worn drawing file and limited colors for his daily practice. Though lacking fine painting materials, he never gave up drawing. He spent a significant amount of time staying in the forest, secretly perfecting his craft. With continuous hard work and a distinct gift for art, he drew beautifully.
One day John read about a competition being held in the town, whose deadline was only two days away. He got the perfect opportunity to fulfill his desire but he was in a dilemma (两难境地) as for the competition he needed special paints and some brushes. He didn’t have the courage to ask his mother for money as he knew her prejudice against art.
That evening his mom returned from work and handed him a few paper notes, saying, “This is for your lunch at school next month.” The money was enough for his desired materials! John’s face lit up.
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。
Early the next morning, John secretly left home with the money.

A week later, a phone call came to John’s home.
