A．at B．for C．through D．on 【答案】C 【详解】句意：——爸爸，请看看这只可怜的乌龟！它死了吗？——哦，孩子，没事的。现在是冬季，他总是在寒冷的季节里睡觉。 考查介词辨析。at后接具体时刻；for后接时间段；through度过；on后接具体日期。根据“It is in winter now, and he always sleeps ... the cold season.”可知用through表示“在整个期间，在……整个过程中”，这里讲在冬季一直睡觉。故选C。 3．People can’t stop AI from being used in education. ________, we should think about how to use it safely and properly.

A．less, fewer B．fewer, more C．more, less D．fewer, less 【答案】D 【详解】句意：——放学时，我们学校周围的交通非常拥挤。——完全正确。如果开车的父母少一些，交通就会少一些。 考查形容词比较级。less更少的；fewer更少的；more更多。根据“If there are ... parents driving, there will be ... traffic.”可知，此处表示“如果开车的父母少一些，交通就会少一些”。few的比较级是fewer，修饰可数名词复数；little的比较级是less，修饰不可数名词。parents是可数名词复数，所以用fewer。traffic是不可数名词，所以用less。故选D。 5．Chinese people always ________ paper cut-outs of “double happiness” in the married couple’s home to bring them happiness and good luck.

The rabbit was very angry to find that the ring had been stolen. Soon, everyone in the forest started to help the rabbit to look for the thief. When the stork found out what was happening, she thought, “Oh no! I have to do something.” She hid the ring by bandaging (用绷带包扎) her claws. The stork thought she had solved the problem well, but later she ran into the rabbit. Seeing the bird was injured, the rabbit suggested taking her to the hospital right away. The stork just couldn’t say no. Since her house was on the way to the hospital, the stork asked the rabbit to go first when she went to have some water. Once the stork got inside her house, she wrapped (包裹) her claws again and again so that the doctor wouldn’t see the ring. Feeling more relaxed, the stork flew off to meet the rabbit. But because of the added weight, she was not able to fly. She fell like a heavy stone and landed on the poor rabbit. Soon, hundreds of animals rushed to them, and then they found the bandages and the ring. In one single morning, the stork lost all her friends because of the ring. After a long time, the stork met the rabbit.

The programme will produce a collection of half-body portraits based on those photos. The portraits are of different styles. Some are dressed in historical costumes(古装). Others are made to look like film stars. The programme 51 (become) popular in just one month after it was released. 52 peak hours(高峰时段), thousands of users waited in line for their results. The 53 (wait) time could be up to ten hours. Some users say it’s worth the time. In their words, the programme could take the place of professional photo studios. Other people don’t agree, however. “At 54 (one) sight, the pictures do look great,” said a college student. “But if you take a closer look, you’ll find that the photos aren’t quite accurate. Eyes and hands can look a bit 55 (real).” 【答案】 46．worried 47．mainly 48．an 49．themselves 50．patiently 51．became 52．During 53．waiting 54．first 55．unreal 【导语】本文讲述了神奇相机的问世，引起摄影师的担忧，以及受欢迎的原因；同时，也有人提出神奇相机照片失真的问题。 46．句意：随着AI技术的发展，肖像摄影师最近格外担心自己的未来。根据“become especially...”可知，空格处需要形容词，worry“担心，优秀”的形容词为worried/worrying；worried“担心的，忧虑的”形容人的感受。故填worried。 47．句意：这主要是因为神奇相机的问世。根据音标可知，此处填mainly“主要地”。故填mainly。 48．句意：它让用户用一个简单的方式去创建肖像。根据“in ... easy way”可知，表示“以一个简单的方式”，空格处需要填不定冠词a/an，easy是以元音音素开头的单词；故填an。 49．句意：起初，用户只需付8.8元，就可以在程序上上传25张最近的照片。根据“25 recent photos of ...”可知，表示“他们最近的照片”， of后面需要加反身代词，they的反身代词themselves“他们自己”。故填themselves。 50．句意：然后，他们需要耐心等待。根据“wait...”可知，空格处需要副词修饰动词wait“等待”， patient意为“耐心的”副词为patiently。故填patiently。 51．句意：这个程序在发布后的一个月的时间，就很受欢迎。根据“after it was released”可知，句子的时态是一般现在时，become的过去式became“变得”。故填became。 52．句意：在高峰期，成千上万的用户在线等结果。根据“...peak hours”可知，表示“在高峰期”；during表示“在……期间”，位于句首，首字母大写。故填During。 53．句意：等待时间可能长达10个小时。根据“the... time”可知，此处表示“等待时间”the waiting time。故填waiting。 54．句意：第一眼，照片看起来确实很好。根据“at...sight”可知，此处表示“第一眼”，用序数词，one的序数词first。故填first。 55．句意：眼睛和手看起来有点儿不真实。根据“But if you take a closer look, you’ll find that the photos aren’t quite accurate”可知，当你在近处看的时候，你将会发现照片很失真；因此是眼睛和手是看起来不真实的。real意为“真正的”，反义词unreal“不真实的”。故填unreal。 六、首字母填空（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整 Once there was a famine (饥荒). A rich cook sent for twenty of the poorest children in the town and said to them, “In this basket there is a piece of bread for e 56 of you. Take it home and come back to me every day at this hour for more.” In a hurry, the h 57 children got together around the basket, and fought over the bread because each wanted the l 58 piece. At last they went away without t 59 the good cook. Mary, a poorly-dressed girl, did not fight with the other children, but stood q 60 in distance (在远处). When the badly-behaved (行为恶劣的) children left, Mary took the smallest piece, which was all left in the basket. She kissed the cook’s hand and w 61 home. The next day the children were as badly-behaved as before. Mary got a piece of bread a 62 half the size of the one she got the day before. When she came home, her mother cut the bread open. Many new, shining pieces of silver (银子) fell out of it. Her mother was very shocked, and said, “Take the money b 63 to the cook at once. The silver must have fallen into the dough (面团) by mistake. Hurry up, Mary.” When the little girl gave the rich man her mother’s message, he said, “There was no m 64 . I put the silver pieces into the smallest bread for you as a prize. Always be as satisfied and thankful as you are now. Go home, and tell your mother that the money is y 65 .” 【答案】 56．(e)ach 57．(h)ungry 58．(l)argest 59．(t)hanking 60．(q)uietly 61．(w)ent 62．(a)lmost 63．(b)ack 64．(m)istake 65．(y)ours 【导语】本文主要讲述了一个懂得谦让的小女孩，最后得到好心人奖励的故事，赞扬了小女孩母女二人的诚实品德。 56．句意：在这个篮子里，你们每人有一块面包。根据“A rich cook sent for twenty of the poorest children in the town and said to them...Take it home and come back to me every day at this hour for more.”可知，厨师给每个孩子都准备了面包；each of“每个”。故填(e)ach。 57．句意：匆忙中，饥饿的孩子们聚集在篮子周围，为面包而战，因为每个人都想要最大的一块。根据“there was a famine”可知，孩子们很饿；hungry“饥饿的”，形容词作定语。故填(h)ungry。 58．句意：匆忙中，饥饿的孩子们聚集在篮子周围，为面包而战，因为每个人都想要最大的一块。根据“Mary took the smallest piece, which was all left in the basket”可知，篮子里最后剩下最小的一块，所以孩子们都在抢夺最大的；large“大的”，定冠词the后填写其最高级。故填(l)argest。 59．句意：最后，他们没有感谢好厨师就走了。根据“She kissed the cook’s hand”可知，玛丽感谢厨师的做法与行为恶劣的孩子们构成对比，所以他们没有感谢厨师；thank“感谢”，此处填写其动名词形式作宾语。故填(t)hanking。 60．句意：玛丽，一个衣衫褴褛的女孩，并没有和其他孩子打架，而是静静地站在远处。根据“did not fight with the other children”可知，玛丽很安静地站着；quietly“安静地”，副词修饰动词。故填(q)uietly。 61．句意：她吻了吻厨师的手，然后回家了。go home“回家”，本句时态为一般过去式，所以动词用过去式。故填(w)ent。 62．句意：玛丽得到了一块面包，几乎是前一天的一半大。本句描写玛丽获得的面包尺寸大小，almost“几乎”符合语境，副词。故填(a)lmost。 63．句意：马上把钱还给厨师。根据“The silver must have fallen into the dough by mistake. Hurry up, Mary.”可知，妈妈要求玛丽将钱还给厨师；take back“归还；退还”。故填(b)ack。 64．句意：没有错。根据“I put the silver pieces into the smallest bread for you as a prize.”可知，银币原本就是用来奖励玛丽的，没有错误；mistake“错误”，结合was可知，此处填写其单数形式。故填(m)istake。 65．句意：回家，告诉你妈妈钱是你的。根据“I put the silver pieces into the smallest bread for you as a prize.”可知，钱是属于玛丽的，本句为厨师对玛丽说的话，所以此处指“你的”；yours“你的”，其后没有名词，填写名词性物主代词。故填(y)ours。 七、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分） 阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 Recently, a father called Daming and his son Dongshun’s photos became hot all over China. In the photos, while they are working on the boat on Dongting Lake, lots of fish are jumping into the fish bin (鱼舱). Dongting Lake is the second freshwater (淡水) lake in China, it’s home to nearly 400 kinds of fishes. But in the past, people threw litter and factories put waste water into the lake. Even worse, a large number of fish were caught by fishermen. Because of pollution and overfishing (过度捕捞), the Yangtze River was in great danger. For example, the Chinese paddlefish (中华白鲟) disappeared 2 years ago. Daming used to make a living by fishing near Dongting Lake. However, life was gradually becoming difficult for Daming and other fishermen. The more times they went to fish, the fewer fish they could get. In January, 2020, the government called for a 10-year fishing ban (禁渔令), covering 332 conservation areas (保护区) in the Yangtze River. Dongshun has worked with his father as a lake ranger (巡湖员) for almost 3 years. This job helps him understand how important it is to protect Dongting Lake. “I think this job is meaningful.” he said, “As the wind is blowing gently, fish are swimming happily. What a beautiful scene! The fishing ban will lead Dongting Lake to a better future.” 66．Why was the Yangtze River in great danger in the past from the passage? 67．How did Daming use to make a living? 68．What did the government call for in January, 2020? 69．What is Dongshun’s job now? 70．What do you think of Dongting Lake’s future?

At the end of 2022, she tried to use the generative big model for the first time and experienced the positive chances brought by the new generation of AI. In early 2023, she started to program with AI to make tools. “My classmates and I want to have a learning friend to help us remember the key information.

We are improving AI-Button and trying to let more people know it,” she said. Qiu is a kind girl. When she was 4 years old, the kindergarten organized a charity sale on International Children’s Day. As a child, she gave away her income to the orphanage. For the first time, she realized the true meaning of “No one can do everything, but everyone can do something”.

In the photos, while they are working on the boat on Dongting Lake, lots of fish are jumping into the fish bin (鱼舱). Dongting Lake is the second freshwater (淡水) lake in China, it’s home to nearly 400 kinds of fishes. But in the past, people threw litter and factories put waste water into the lake. Even worse, a large number of fish were caught by fishermen. Because of pollution and overfishing (过度捕捞), the Yangtze River was in great danger. For example, the Chinese paddlefish (中华白鲟) disappeared 2 years ago. Daming used to make a living by fishing near Dongting Lake. However, life was gradually becoming difficult for Daming and other fishermen. The more times they went to fish, the fewer fish they could get. In January, 2020, the government called for a 10-year fishing ban (禁渔令), covering 332 conservation areas (保护区) in the Yangtze River. Dongshun has worked with his father as a lake ranger (巡湖员) for almost 3 years. This job helps him understand how important it is to protect Dongting Lake. “I think this job is meaningful.” he said, “As the wind is blowing gently, fish are swimming happily. What a beautiful scene! The fishing ban will lead Dongting Lake to a better future.” 66．Why was the Yangtze River in great danger in the past from the passage? 67．How did Daming use to make a living? 68．What did the government call for in January, 2020? 69．What is Dongshun’s job now? 70．What do you think of Dongting Lake’s future?
