The world is a splendid place, full of hidden and overt beauty in every corner. Here are some of the most beautiful places around the world.

The Maldives
The sand of its 1,200 islands is as white as it gets, and the water is a deep blue that puts all other seas in the shade. The Indian Ocean nation of the Maldives has developed into the world’s premier tropical hot spot for a reason.

Derek Veal found an old suitcase filled with photos, some more than 100 years old, when he explored his grandfather’s old house in Georgia. It belonged to his great-grandmother, who had Alzheimer’s (老年痴呆症) and lived in a nursing home. Veal and his grandfather went to visit her with the photos, hoping she could tell them more about the photos. What happened next changed Veal’s life.
“Everything came back to her when she saw these pictures,” Veal said. “She recognized her sisters, her aunts, her grandparents... It was the first time I had ever seen someone’s excitement from an old photo returning to them.”
The experience made Veal aware of the power of old photos to hold precious and long-forgotten memories and restore a sense of identity. It never left him. Two years ago, when he came across old family photos for sale at a thrift store (旧货店), he decided to pick one picture and try to track down the family. Soon, he was inspired to buy more photos and started a Facebook group called Old Photo Project to aid in finding their families.
Veal is not alone in this hobby. David Gutenmacher, 26, lives in Queens, New York, and started his project, Museum of Lost Memories, in late 2020. He has already had over 300,000 followers on Instagram and over 750,000 on TikTok. “Some of my posts have gone viral and twice a person or family was tracked down in a matter of minutes!” Gutenmacher said. These lost pictures can bring the memories back to the families they belong to.
What makes this hobby so unique is not only how it gives people the chance to help others, but it also brings these enthusiasts a sense of purpose. “I feel like this is my calling,” said Gutenmacher. “The more I return memories, the more it feels like I’m supposed to be doing this.”
4. According to the text, what changed Veal’s life?
A. His great-grandmother’s life experience.
B. His awareness of the value of old photos.
C. His family’s history shown in the photos.
D. His exploration of his grandfather’s old house.
5. What do the underlined words “have gone viral” most probably mean in paragraph 4?
A. Have spread quickly and widely. B. Have received some comments.
C. Have been updated regularly. D. Have made people think deeply.
6. How does Gutenmacher feel about what he does?
A. It’s not easy. B. It’s not enough.
C. It’s just a hobby. D. It’s his duty.
7. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. Old Photos for Photo Enthusiasts B. The Unique Hobby of Veal
C. Returning Lost Memories D. Researching the History of a Family
C
A new device known as Shark Guard is being trialed which gives off a pulse to protect sharks and rays from fishing hooks (鱼钩). The data so far suggests that it has been very effective in reducing the number of sharks and stingrays caught by commercial fishing equipment.
Commercial fishing is known to threaten sharks and rays worldwide. Research has found that 24 per cent of the average monthly space used by sharks around the world falls under the-footprint of distant long line fisheries. This is when hooks hang near the surface to catch fish like tuna and swordfish. A quarter of shark habitats are within active fishing zones.
It is estimated that over 20,000,000 sharks are caught as bycatch every year. Stingrays are also frequently caught as bycatch. “Bycatch” refers to unwanted fish and marine creatures caught by commercial fishing equipment, and is typically discarded (丢弃) overboard either dead or dying.
Shark Guard was designed by marine scientists to protect sharks and rays from fishing equipment. It is a small battery-powered device that can be fastened on the line next to a baited hook and gives off a short pulse every two seconds.
Study found that the device reduced the number of blue sharks caught in a French long line tuna fishery in the Mediterranean by 91 per cent, and stingrays by 71 per cent. These are promising numbers, although Dr. Phil Doherty, lead author of the study, said that Shark Guard should “be designed on a case-by-case basis to ensure it’s fit for purpose.”
8 What is the new device used to do?
A. Stop sharks being caught. B. Reduce the number of sharks.
C. Confirm a scientific guess. D. Prevent commercial hunting.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The places fishing hooks hang. B. The range of commercial fishing.
C. The benefits of protecting sharks. D. The harm of commercial fishing.
10. What does Phil Doherty think of the device?
A. It is promising. B. It is ineffective.
C. It needs improving. D. It is perfectly designed.
11. What is the text?
A. A diary entry. B. A news report.
C. A fantasy story. D. A book review.

ChatGPT, designed by OpenAI to carry on conversations just like humans, has become a viral excitement. The AI-powered tool went from zero to a million users in just five days! Its ability to provide in-depth answers to user questions has even drawn the attention of distinguished technology companies.
The intelligent robot understands what the user says or types and then responds in a way that makes sense. Its vast body of knowledge has been gathered from the Internet and archived books. It is further trained by humans and can process the whole Internet and all of the information it contains for you to answer your question. This makes ChatGPT a useful tool for researching almost any topic.
ChatGPT cannot think on its own. It depends on the information that it has been trained on. As a result, the AI tool works well for things that have accurate data available. However, when unsure, ChatGPT can get creative and flow out incorrect responses. Therefore, OpenAI cautions users to check the information no matter how logical it sounds. Also, ChatGPT has only been trained with information till 2021. Hence, it cannot be relied upon for anything that happened after that.
Experts believe ChatGPT has limitless potential to solve real-world problems. It can translate long texts into different languages, create content on almost any topic, and even summarize books.
However, ChatGPT has received mixed reactions from educators. Some believe it could serve as a valuable tool to help build literacy skills in the classroom. It could also be used to teach students difficult science or math concepts. But other educators think ChatGPT will encourage students to cheat. They fear this will prevent them from building critical thinking and problem-solving skills. As a result, many districts are starting to ban its use in schools.
12. What makes ChatGPT attractive to technology companies?
A. It has artificial intelligence.
B. It has the largest number of users.
C. It can engage in meaningful conversations.
D. It can answer all of the users’ questions.
13. What makes ChatGPT helpful to research various topics?
A. Its accurate information. B. Its availability of up-to-date data.
C. Its ability to process information. D. Its vast body of questions.
14. Why do ChatGPT users have to be cautious when using it?
A. ChatGPT lacks creativity.
B. ChatGPT is unable to think itself.
C. ChatGPT offers illogical information.
D. ChatGPT is not properly trained.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards ChatGPT?
A. Favorable. B. Disapproving.
C. Intolerant. D. Objective.

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。
Grandma got Grandpa out of bed and helped him to the kitchen for breakfast. After his meal, she led him to his armchair in the living room where he would rest while she cleaned the dishes. Ever so often, she would check to see if he needed anything.
This was their daily routine after Grandpa’s latest stroke. Although once a very active man, his severely damaged left arm, difficulty walking and slurred (含糊不清的) speech now kept him housebound. For nearly a year he hadn’t been to church or to visit family.
Grandpa filled his hours with television. He watched the news and game shows while Grandma went about her day. They made a promise — he was not to leave his chair or his bed without her assistance.
“If you fell and I threw my back out trying to help you, who would take care of us?” Grandma would ask him. She was resolved they should take care of themselves and live independently. The Brooklyn brownstone had been their first home and held wonderful memories. They weren’t ready to leave it behind anytime soon.
Immigrants from Ireland, they had met and married in America. Grandma was friendly, outgoing and unselfish; Grandpa was reserved, a man devoted to his family, but he wasn’t big on giving gifts. While he wouldn’t think twice about giving Grandma the shirt off his back, he had the belief that if you treated your wife well throughout the year, presents weren’t necessary; so he rarely purchased gifts for her.
It was a cold, gray February morning, a typical winter’s day in New York. As always, Grandma walked Grandpa to his chair. “I’m going to take a shower now.” She handed him the television remote. “If you need anything, I’ll be back in a little while.”
After her shower, she glanced towards the back of Grandpa’s recliner (躺椅) but noticed that his cane was not leaning in its usual spot. Sensing something unusual, she went into the room. He was gone. The closet door stood open and his hat and overcoat were missing. Fear ran down her spine. Grandma threw a coat over her bathrobe and ran outside.
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。
Desperately she scanned the street in both directions.

【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Samburu, Kenya部分“Thanks to its relative inaccessibility in the heart of Kenya, Samburu is a haven(避难所) for some of Africa’s most charming wildlife. (由于桑布鲁在肯尼亚的中心地带相对难以接近,它是非洲一些最迷人的野生动物的天堂)”可知,Samburu位于肯尼亚的腹地,交通相对不便,所以它成为野生动物的天堂是因为位置。故选B。

Derek Veal found an old suitcase filled with photos, some more than 100 years old, when he explored his grandfather’s old house in Georgia. It belonged to his great-grandmother, who had Alzheimer’s (老年痴呆症) and lived in a nursing home. Veal and his grandfather went to visit her with the photos, hoping she could tell them more about the photos. What happened next changed Veal’s life.
“Everything came back to her when she saw these pictures,” Veal said. “She recognized her sisters, her aunts, her grandparents... It was the first time I had ever seen someone’s excitement from an old photo returning to them.”
The experience made Veal aware of the power of old photos to hold precious and long-forgotten memories and restore a sense of identity. It never left him. Two years ago, when he came across old family photos for sale at a thrift store (旧货店), he decided to pick one picture and try to track down the family. Soon, he was inspired to buy more photos and started a Facebook group called Old Photo Project to aid in finding their families.
Veal is not alone in this hobby. David Gutenmacher, 26, lives in Queens, New York, and started his project, Museum of Lost Memories, in late 2020. He has already had over 300,000 followers on Instagram and over 750,000 on TikTok. “Some of my posts have gone viral and twice a person or family was tracked down in a matter of minutes!” Gutenmacher said. These lost pictures can bring the memories back to the families they belong to.
What makes this hobby so unique is not only how it gives people the chance to help others, but it also brings these enthusiasts a sense of purpose. “I feel like this is my calling,” said Gutenmacher. “The more I return memories, the more it feels like I’m supposed to be doing this.”
4. According to the text, what changed Veal’s life?
A. His great-grandmother’s life experience.
B. His awareness of the value of old photos.
C. His family’s history shown in the photos.
D. His exploration of his grandfather’s old house.
5. What do the underlined words “have gone viral” most probably mean in paragraph 4?
A. Have spread quickly and widely. B. Have received some comments.
C. Have been updated regularly. D. Have made people think deeply.
6. How does Gutenmacher feel about what he does?
A. It’s not easy. B. It’s not enough.
C. It’s just a hobby. D. It’s his duty.
7. What is a suitable title for the text?

A new device known as Shark Guard is being trialed which gives off a pulse to protect sharks and rays from fishing hooks (鱼钩). The data so far suggests that it has been very effective in reducing the number of sharks and stingrays caught by commercial fishing equipment.
Commercial fishing is known to threaten sharks and rays worldwide. Research has found that 24 per cent of the average monthly space used by sharks around the world falls under the-footprint of distant long line fisheries. This is when hooks hang near the surface to catch fish like tuna and swordfish. A quarter of shark habitats are within active fishing zones.
It is estimated that over 20,000,000 sharks are caught as bycatch every year. Stingrays are also frequently caught as bycatch. “Bycatch” refers to unwanted fish and marine creatures caught by commercial fishing equipment, and is typically discarded (丢弃) overboard either dead or dying.
Shark Guard was designed by marine scientists to protect sharks and rays from fishing equipment. It is a small battery-powered device that can be fastened on the line next to a baited hook and gives off a short pulse every two seconds.
Study found that the device reduced the number of blue sharks caught in a French long line tuna fishery in the Mediterranean by 91 per cent, and stingrays by 71 per cent. These are promising numbers, although Dr. Phil Doherty, lead author of the study, said that Shark Guard should “be designed on a case-by-case basis to ensure it’s fit for purpose.”
8. What is the new device used to do?
A. Stop sharks being caught. B. Reduce the number of sharks.
C. Confirm a scientific guess. D. Prevent commercial hunting.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The places fishing hooks hang. B. The range of commercial fishing.
C. The benefits of protecting sharks. D. The harm of commercial fishing.
10. What does Phil Doherty think of the device?
A. It is promising. B. It is ineffective.
C. It needs improving. D. It is perfectly designed.
11. What is the text?
A. A diary entry. B. A news report.
C. A fantasy story. D. A book review.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】

ChatGPT, designed by OpenAI to carry on conversations just like humans, has become a viral excitement. The AI-powered tool went from zero to a million users in just five days! Its ability to provide in-depth answers to user questions has even drawn the attention of distinguished technology companies.
The intelligent robot understands what the user says or types and then responds in a way that makes sense. Its vast body of knowledge has been gathered from the Internet and archived books. It is further trained by humans and can process the whole Internet and all of the information it contains for you to answer your question. This makes ChatGPT a useful tool for researching almost any topic.
ChatGPT cannot think on its own. It depends on the information that it has been trained on. As a result, the AI tool works well for things that have accurate data available. However, when unsure, ChatGPT can get creative and flow out incorrect responses. Therefore, OpenAI cautions users to check the information no matter how logical it sounds. Also, ChatGPT has only been trained with information till 2021. Hence, it cannot be relied upon for anything that happened after that.
Experts believe ChatGPT has limitless potential to solve real-world problems. It can translate long texts into different languages, create content on almost any topic, and even summarize books.
However, ChatGPT has received mixed reactions from educators. Some believe it could serve as a valuable tool to help build literacy skills in the classroom. It could also be used to teach students difficult science or math concepts. But other educators think ChatGPT will encourage students to cheat. They fear this will prevent them from building critical thinking and problem-solving skills. As a result, many districts are starting to ban its use in schools.

A. It has artificial intelligence.
B. It has the largest number of users.
C. It can engage in meaningful conversations.
D. It can answer all of the users’ questions.

Four ways to be admired
Gaining admiration requires honesty, hard work, perseverance and some other qualities.____16____
Lead, don’t follow.
People who are admired are unafraid to do something new or different.____17____You can be a leader even among those who have greater official authority than you by convincing others to follow a certain course or act in a certain way. Leadership requires more than speaking and acting in an inspirational and influential way. You must also be willing to take responsibility when something needs doing.
____18____
It means you will stand by the things you believe. Admirable individuals try to keep their personal integrity (诚信) by staying true to who they are even when it is unpopular or questioned. However, standing by your principles (原则) and acting with integrity doesn’t mean that you are unwilling to accept or consider other ideas.
Take a positive attitude.
A positive attitude doesn’t mean pretending that everything is great all the time. That is unrealistic.____19____Try to be positive about some negative situations, and maybe things will get better.
Work hard.
Whether you’re working for minimum wage or managing a large company, you should always take pride in your work. Doing so will show that you are capable of doing your part. Go above and beyond in your workplace by giving your all on the job. If you make pizzas, make the best pizza you can every time.____20____Take pride in your work and doing it will be a pleasure, not a hard job. Keep your office or workspace clean and well-organized.
A. Stick to your principles.
B. Show personal integrity.
C. If you clean the floors, make it perfectly.
D. No matter who you are, earning admiration requires many skills.
E. Being a leader doesn’t necessarily mean you are in a higher position.

G. Instead, recognize when things are bad but look for the good in every situation.
【答案】16. D 17. E 18. B 19. G 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了想要被人赞赏的一些技巧。
【16题详解】
前文“Gaining admiration requires honesty, hard work, perseverance and some other qualities.(获得赞赏需要诚实、勤奋、毅力和其他一些品质。)”说明要想获得赞赏,需要具备一些优秀的品质,下文黑体小标题给出了想要获得赞赏的一些技巧,因此推断空处承上启下,D项“无论你是谁,赢得赞赏需要很多技巧。”符合语境,引出下文内容。故选D。
【17题详解】
根据小标题“Lead, don’t follow.( 领导,不要跟随。)”可知,本段讲述要做领导,不要跟随别人,下文“You can be a leader even among those who have greater official authority than you by convincing others to follow a certain course or act in a certain way.(通过说服他人遵循某种路线或以某种方式行事,你甚至可以在那些比你拥有更大官方权威的人中成为领导者。)”讲述了成为领导者要做的事情,E项中的“Being a leader”与标题相符,呼应下文的“be a leader”,因此推断E项“成为一个领导者并不一定意味着你处于一个更高的位置。”符合语境,上下文是因果关系。故选E。
【18题详解】
空格处是段落标题。根据下文“It means you will stand by the things you believe. Admirable individuals try to keep their personal integrity (诚信) by staying true to who they are even when it is unpopular or questioned. ( 这意味着你会坚持你所相信的事情。令人钦佩的人即使在不受欢迎或受到质疑的情况下,也会努力保持自己的个人诚信。)”可知,本段讲述要坚持诚信,B项“展示个人诚信”为段落标题。故选B。
【19题详解】
前文“A positive attitude doesn’t mean pretending that everything is great all the time. That is unrealistic.(积极的态度并不意味着总是假装一切都很好。这是不现实的。)”说明现实是并不是一切都会很好,下文“Try to be positive about some negative situations, and maybe things will get better.( 试着以积极的态度对待一些消极的情况,也许事情会变得更好。)”说明要积极的心态对待消极的事情,因此可知,上下文是转折关系,因此推断G项“相反,认识到事情不好的时候,但在任何情况下都要看到好的一面。”符合语境,承上启下。与上文是转折关系,与下文是顺承关系。故选G。
【20题详解】
上文“Go above and beyond in your workplace by giving your all on the job. If you make pizzas, make the best pizza you can every time.( 在工作场所,全力以赴超越自己。如果你做披萨,每次都要尽你所能做最好的披萨。)”可知,前文说明要全力以赴做好事情,并列举了做披萨的例子,C项“如果你清洁地板,做完美。”是另一个例子,符合语境。故选C。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。自先秦以来,成都一直是中国重要的文化名城。但真正使这座城市在文化上与众不同的是它的川剧。本文主要介绍了川剧的一个重要方面——变脸。
【36题详解】
考查动词的时态。句意:自先秦以来,成都一直是中国重要的文化名城。分析句子可知,空格处应填入谓语动词。根据句中时间状语Since the pre-Qin period可知,此处应用现在完成时态。故填has been
【37题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:但真正使这座城市在文化上与众不同的是它的歌剧。分析句子可知,空格处应填入主语从句的引导词。分析句子结构,该引导词在主语从句中作主语,指物,故用连接代词what引导。故填what。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:川剧的一个重要方面是“变脸”的魔力,色彩鲜艳的面具在眨眼之间就变了。根据空后of “face changing”可知,此处特指“变脸的魔力”,故用定冠词the。故填the。
【39题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:在镇上的戏院和茶馆里,想要一窥当地文化的观众喜欢一边喝茶,一边听川剧,看着变脸。分析句子可知,空格处应填入非谓语动词作定语。被修饰名词audiences与want是逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词。故填wanting。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:早期人类需要生存策略来躲避凶猛的动物和外来入侵者。根据空格前的 fierce animals可知,此处应填名词与 fierce animals并列作宾语,根据句意,此处指“侵略者”,应用 invade的名词形式invader,且用复数形式。故填invaders。
【41题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:据说川剧将这种情绪带到了舞台上。“sb./sth.be said +动词不定式”是固定结构,意为“据说……”,此处既可用动词不定式的一般式陈述事实,也可以用不定式的完成式强调动作发生在谓语动词is said之前。故填to have brought/to bring。
【42题详解】
考查代词。句意:表演一开始,演员就不停地拉下一个又一个面具,动作迅速,传达不同的情绪。one after another是固定短语,意为“一个又一个,一个接一个”,故填another。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意:令人惊讶的是,无论离舞台有多近,他们都无法分辨口罩是如何变化的。分析句子可知,空格处应填入副词作状语。故填Astonishingly。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意同上。be close to是固定短语,意为“靠近……”。故填to。
【45题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:事实上,川剧给人们带来的不同类型的人物和性格在普通人中都可以找到。根据空前的can可知,空格处应填入动词原形。主语the different kinds of characters and personalities 与动词find是逻辑上的动宾关系,故用被动语态。故填be found。

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。
Grandma got Grandpa out of bed and helped him to the kitchen for breakfast. After his meal, she led him to his armchair in the living room where he would rest while she cleaned the dishes. Ever so often, she would check to see if he needed anything.
This was their daily routine after Grandpa’s latest stroke. Although once a very active man, his severely damaged left arm, difficulty walking and slurred (含糊不清的) speech now kept him housebound. For nearly a year he hadn’t been to church or to visit family.
Grandpa filled his hours with television. He watched the news and game shows while Grandma went about her day. They made a promise — he was not to leave his chair or his bed without her assistance.
“If you fell and I threw my back out trying to help you who would take care of us?” Grandma would ask him. She was resolved they should take care of themselves and live independently. The Brooklyn brownstone had been their first home and held wonderful memories. They weren’t ready to leave it behind anytime soon.
Immigrants from Ireland, they had met and married in America. Grandma was friendly, outgoing and unselfish; Grandpa was reserved, a man devoted to his family, but he wasn’t big on giving gifts. While he wouldn’t think twice about giving Grandma the shirt off his back, he had the belief that if you treated your wife well throughout the year, presents weren’t necessary; so he rarely purchased gifts for her.
It was a cold, gray February morning, a typical winter’s day in New York. As always, Grandma walked Grandpa to his chair. “I’m going to take a shower now.” She handed him the television remote. “If you need anything, I’ll be back in a little while.”
After her shower, she glanced towards the back of Grandpa’s recliner (躺椅) but noticed that his cane was not leaning in its usual spot. Sensing something unusual, she went into the room. He was gone. The closet door stood open and his hat and overcoat were missing. Fear ran down her spine. Grandma threw a coat over her bathrobe and ran outside.
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。
Desperately, she scanned the street in both directions.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Just then, Grandpa came around the corner.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Desperately, she scanned the street in both directions. Small mounds of snow and ice coated the sidewalks. Walking safely would be difficult for people who were steady on their feet, much less someone in Grandpa’s conditions. Where could he be? Why would he leave the house all by himself? Wringing her hands, she hardly felt the cold as she watched the traffic rush by. As she stood alone on the street corner, guilt and worry flooded her.
Paragraph 2:
Just then, Grandpa came round the corner. Head bowed, eyes focused on the sidewalk, he took small, cautious steps. Desperate to reach him, Grandma raced to meet him. Relieved to see that he was OK, she started to scold. “What did you need so badly that you couldn’t wait? I was so worried about you!” Before Grandpa had a chance to explain, she pulled out a heart-shaped gift box from the bag in his good arm. “It’s Valentine’s Day,” Grandpa said. “I thought you might like a box of chocolates, so this is a gift for you.” Tears flooded Grandma’s eyes as she hugged his arm to her chest and assisted Grandpa home.
