All hotels have been independently reviewed by our expert staff. A Taste of Alaska cottage (小屋) A Taste of Alaska cottage has a good location: close enough to Fairbanks for exploring and to view the Northern Lights. It began in 1947 as a family home and has developed over the years into an enjoyable place where family atmosphere runs deep. Price: £173 per person per night Talkeetna Alaskan cottage There is the look and feel of a classic mountainside cottage — an Alaska brown bear specimen (标本) with about 2,000 pounds shares the lobby (大厅) with a huge river rock fireplace, which is especially attractive. On a clear day the views of the Denali, the highest mountain in North America, and neighbouring mountains provide the picture visitors come from around the world to take. Price: £114 per person per night Chena Hot Springs Hotel Set in the Alaskan wilderness, Chena Hot Springs Hotel offers days spent in a warm coat, enjoying drinks at a bar made of ice, or relaxing in natural hot springs. And at nightfall, if Mother Nature permits, it’s the Northern Lights that will make you feel like you’re somewhere out of this world. Price: £205 per person per night Windsong Hotel The quiet and peaceful Windsong Hotel is located just outside the town of Seward. Kenai Fjords National Park is within easy reach, and stations for scenic tours of the Park are less than a 10-minute drive away. A rental car is recommended. Due to icy road in winter, it operates from mid-May to mid-September. Price: £151 per person per night 1. Which hotel offers the chance to view the Northern Lights at a lower cost? A. A Taste of Alaska cottage. B. Talketna Alaskan cottage. C Chena Hot Springs Hotel. D. Windsong Hotel. 2. What is special about Talkeetna Alaskan cottage? A. It provides natural hot springs to relax. B. It has a family atmosphere. C. It operates for five months every year. D. It has a large river rock fireplace. 3. Where does the text most probably come from? A. A textbook. B. A cultural journal. C. A travel magazine. D. A news report. B Nature speaks for itself, while art amplifies (充实) whatever nature has to say. Artist Luca Gnizio’s latest project, Forsoultree, speaks more than words could. The project started with the accidental discovery of a century-old Holm Oak tree trunk (树干) that had been brought down by nature in a park. When Gnizio was called in, he immediately thought of giving the dead trunk some life. Over the past decade, Gnizio has made a name for himself, establishing a whole new form of art that harmonizes with nature. In his work, he focuses on three Rs: reduce, reuse and recycle. The Forsoultree takes on various aspects of his artistic approach. The aim of this project was not only to reuse but also to protect and give life. To Gnizio, what most people call waste can be repurposed to give more meaning to life. He has managed to create new levels of beauty with the trunk, combining it with the natural environment and using it as the central point. Especially, it is the change of parts of the trunk into seats. He has created two unique seats with the trunk still in its primary location. All around the trunk itself are breathtaking views of the park for any lover of the natural space. If you think sitting on a dead trunk will be boring, what about bathing? Gnizio has carved out a deep basin (盆) with sufficient resting space. An adult can lie on the floor of the basin looking upwards and enjoy the peaceful surrounding nature. Unfortunately, the basin is only for artistic purposes. You may not be able to bathe in it, but you will surely enjoy the views. “Forsoultree speaks of beauty and respect and reminds us that nothing belongs to us on this earth, where we are simply passing guests,” explained Gnizio. His art offers an opportunity for us to learn more about our environment and also appreciate life as it is. 4. What can be learned about Forsoultree from paragraph 1? A. It features a man-made landscape. B. It is inspired by a destroyed tree. C. It involves an intentional discovery. D. It is designed to record ancient trees. 5. What do we know about Gnizio? A. He is famous for nature paintings. B. He creates innovative eco-friendly art. C. He believes waste should be sorted. D. He avoids signing names on his project. 6. Why does the author mention the unique seats and a deep basin? A. To show the trunk’s functionality. B. To present the park’s beauty. C. To indicate the value of location. D. To recommend sunbathing in the trunk. 7. What does the author stress in the last paragraph? A. Art comes from life. B. The importance of human ownership. C. Art creation promotes critical thinking. D. The recognition of respecting environment. C It seems that you can ask artificial intelligence (AI) things, and they’ll give you an answer. So, can they tell jokes? This question was raised when UK comedian Karen Hobbs performed in late June. Instead of the usual jokes she created, Hobbs delivered jokes written by ChatGPT. The process made her nervous. Hobbs said that when she asked ChatGPT for a joke, what it provided was a man joking about being impatient with his shopping-addicted girlfriend. Even when she asked to change to the woman’s perspective (视角), the joke still featured a shopping-addicted girlfriend, just told from the first-person perspective. It’s no surprise that many jokes come from a male perspective in online materials, as males dominate the field of comedy. The BBC commented that AI storytelling can only reproduce information that already exists in some form, although it can produce some never-before-seen combinations of ideas. “One way that AI can tell jokes is to do what any 5-year-old does — repeat a successful joke they have heard or try to make an obvious variation of it,” said Les Carr, a professor of web science. However, a good joke in real life can always adjust to the audience’s response, which often leads comedians to improvise (即兴创作). This, unfortunately, is beyond the current capabilities of AI. For example, in improvisation, there is no space for pre-arranged plans; the comedian must rely only on their inborn reaction to the audience. “A well-done comedian can lead the audience through a funny story all the way to the last few words,” Michael Ryan, a student researching AI’s impact on comedy, explained to the BBC. “The whole time the comedian knew exactly where he or she was going with the joke and brought the audience there.” However, this could all change. Research is already ongoing to give AI a greater understanding of the world around it, which makes the future of AI jokes still uncertain. 8. How does Hobbs feel about the jokes created by ChatGPT? A. They are interesting. B. They are educational. C. They are unsatisfying. D. They are entertaining. 9. What can be inferred according to this text? A. Men are in control of the humor industry. B. Females are much less humorous than males. C. Many jokes come from a male perspective online. D. AI provided a joke for Hobbs from the woman’s perspective. 10. What can artificial intelligence do with jokes? A. Combine any never-before-seen idea. B. Adapt some existing jokes to a certain extent. C. Rely on its inborn reactions to the audience. D. Improvise jokes according to the audience’s response. 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Can AI be really funny? B. The future of AI jokes. C. What’s a truly great joke? D. The current capabilities of AI. D Sweden is so good at recycling that, for several years, it has imported (进口) rubbish from other countries so that its recycling plants can function smoothly. Less than 1 percent of Swedish household waste was sent to landfills (垃圾填埋场) last year or any since 2011. We can only dream of such an effective system in the UK, which is new, but we end up paying expensive transport costs to send rubbish to be recycled overseas rather than paying fines to send it to landfills under the Landfill Tax of 1996. Why are we sending waste to Sweden? Their system is so far ahead because of a culture of looking after the environment. Sweden was one of the first countries to place a heavy tax on fossil fuels (化石燃料) in 1991 and now sources almost half its electricity from renewables. “In Sweden people are quite crazy about being out in nature and they have a clear idea of what needs to be done on nature and environmental problems. We worked on communications for a long time to make people not throw things outdoors so that we can recycle and use,” says Anria-Carin Gripwall, director of communications for Avfall Serve, the Swedish Waste Management’s recycling association. Over time, Sweden has carried out a national recycling policy so that even though private companies undertake most of the business of importing and burning waste, the energy goes into a national heating network to heat homes through the cold Swedish winter. “That’s a key reason that we have this district network, so we can use the heating from the waste plants. In the southern part of Europe they don’t use the heating from the waste; it just goes out of the chimney. Here we use it as a replacement for fossil fuel,” M. Gripwall says. 12. Why has Sweden been importing rubbish from abroad in the past few years? A. To try out its recycling system. B. To keep its recycling plants running. C. To stop rubbish ending up in landfills. D. To make greater profits from rubbish. 13. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “sources” in paragraph 3? A. Consumes. B. Saves. C. Obtains. D. Improves. 14. How does Sweden handle the heating from the waste plants? A. By making use of it to heat homes. B. By exchanging it for fossil fuels. C. By selling it to other countries. D. By sending it out from the chimney. 15. What conclusion can be drawn from the text? A. Swedish rarely get close to nature. B. Swedish recycling system has been applied globally. C. Waste is imported only by the Swedish government. D. Swedish have a strong environmental awareness. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As a senior high school student, you are going to enter a new stage of your life, with college entrance exams approaching. ____16____ These skills will not only help you during your high-school years but also prove invaluable in college and your future career.

And at nightfall, if Mother Nature permits, it’s the Northern Lights that will make you feel like you’re somewhere out of this world.(Chena Hot Springs酒店位于阿拉斯加荒野中，您可以穿着温暖的外套度过一天，在冰吧享用饮品，或在天然温泉中放松身心。夜幕降临，如果大自然允许，北极光会让你觉得自己置身于另一个世界)”和“Price: £205 per person per night(价格：每人每晚205英镑)”可知，A Taste of Alaska cottage和Chena Hot Springs Hotel都可以观赏到北极光，但是A Taste of Alaska cottage的价格更低。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Talkeetna Alaskan cottage部分中“There is the look and feel of a classic mountainside cottage — an Alaska brown bear specimen (标本) with about 2,000 pounds shares the lobby (大厅) with a huge river rock fireplace, which is especially attractive.(这里有一种经典的山边小屋的感觉——一个大约2000磅重的阿拉斯加棕熊标本与一个巨大的河石壁炉共享大厅，这特别有吸引力)”可知，Talkeetna Alaskan cottage的特别之处是有一个巨大的河石壁炉。故选D项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Here are the best places to stay in Alaska, which have been selected based on location, style, rooms, facilities and dining options. All hotels have been independently reviewed by our expert staff.(以下是阿拉斯加最好的住宿地点，这些地点是根据位置、风格、房间、设施和餐饮选择挑选出来的。所有酒店都经过我们专业人员的独立审查)”以及后文对四个住宿地点的介绍可知，本文主要介绍了阿拉斯加四个住宿地点，由此推知，文章可能来自一本旅游杂志。故选C项。 B Nature speaks for itself, while art amplifies (充实) whatever nature has to say. Artist Luca Gnizio’s latest project, Forsoultree, speaks more than words could. The project started with the accidental discovery of a century-old Holm Oak tree trunk (树干) that had been brought down by nature in a park. When Gnizio was called in, he immediately thought of giving the dead trunk some life. Over the past decade, Gnizio has made a name for himself, establishing a whole new form of art that harmonizes with nature. In his work, he focuses on three Rs: reduce, reuse and recycle. The Forsoultree takes on various aspects of his artistic approach. The aim of this project was not only to reuse but also to protect and give life. To Gnizio, what most people call waste can be repurposed to give more meaning to life. He has managed to create new levels of beauty with the trunk, combining it with the natural environment and using it as the central point. Especially, it is the change of parts of the trunk into seats. He has created two unique seats with the trunk still in its primary location. All around the trunk itself are breathtaking views of the park for any lover of the natural space. If you think sitting on a dead trunk will be boring, what about bathing? Gnizio has carved out a deep basin (盆) with sufficient resting space. An adult can lie on the floor of the basin looking upwards and enjoy the peaceful surrounding nature. Unfortunately, the basin is only for artistic purposes. You may not be able to bathe in it, but you will surely enjoy the views. “Forsoultree speaks of beauty and respect and reminds us that nothing belongs to us on this earth, where we are simply passing guests,” explained Gnizio. His art offers an opportunity for us to learn more about our environment and also appreciate life as it is. 4. What can be learned about Forsoultree from paragraph 1? A. It features a man-made landscape. B. It is inspired by a destroyed tree. C. It involves an intentional discovery. D. It is designed to record ancient trees. 5. What do we know about Gnizio? A. He is famous for nature paintings. B. He creates innovative eco-friendly art. C. He believes waste should be sorted. D. He avoids signing names on his project. 6. Why does the author mention the unique seats and a deep basin? A. To show the trunk’s functionality. B. To present the park’s beauty. C. To indicate the value of location. D. To recommend sunbathing in the trunk. 7. What does the author stress in the last paragraph? A. Art comes from life. B. The importance of human ownership. C. Art creation promotes critical thinking. D. The recognition of respecting environment. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了艺术家Luca Gnizio的艺术项目“Forsoultree”。该项目灵感源于一棵被大自然吹倒的百年圣栎树干。秉持“减少、再利用、回收” 的环保理念，他将这棵枯树干改造为兼具美感与实用功能的艺术作品。这不仅赋予枯木新生，还传递了“美与尊重”的核心思想，提醒人们人类只是地球的过客，应敬畏和珍惜环境。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“The project started with the accidental discovery of a century-old Holm Oak tree trunk that had been brought down by nature in a park.( 该项目始于在一个公园里偶然发现的一根被大自然刮倒的百年圣栎树树干。)”可知，这棵被摧毁的树是项目的灵感来源。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“Over the past decade, Gnizio has made a name for himself, establishing a whole new form of art that harmonizes with nature. In his work, he focuses on three Rs: reduce, reuse and recycle. (在过去的十年里，Gnizio声名鹊起，开创了一种与自然和谐共处的全新艺术形式。在他的作品中，他专注于三个“R”原则：减少、再利用和回收。)”可知，Gnizio开创了与自然和谐共生的全新艺术形式，且专注“减少、再利用、回收”。由此可知，Gnizio开创“创新环保艺术”。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段内容“He has created two unique seats with the trunk still in its primary location. All around the trunk itself are breathtaking views of the park for any lover of the natural space. (他创造了两个独特的座椅，树干部分则保持在原来的位置。对于任何热爱自然空间的人来说，树干周围都是公园的壮丽景色。)”可知，树干被改造成可坐的座椅；第四段内容“Gnizio has carved out a deep basin with sufficient resting space. An adult can lie on the floor of the basin looking upwards and enjoy the peaceful surrounding nature. (Gnizio精心打造了一个深水盆，盆内有足够的休息空间。成年人可以躺在盆底部，抬头仰望，享受周围宁静的自然风光。)”可知，树干被改造成深盆也可躺观景。由此推知，提到树干被改造成座椅（可坐）、深盆（可躺观景），均是体现树干被赋予的实用功能。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章末尾段内容“‘Forsoultree speaks of beauty and respect and reminds us that nothing belongs to us on this earth, where we are simply passing guests, explained Gnizio. His art offers an opportunity for us to learn more about our environment and also appreciate life as it is. (“Forsoultree歌颂着美丽与尊重，并提醒我们，在这个世界上，我们所拥有的一切其实都并非真正属于我们，我们不过是匆匆而过的过客。”Gnizio解释道。他的艺术作品为我们提供了一个深入了解我们所处环境的机会，同时也让我们能够更好地欣赏当下的生活。)”可知，作者在末尾段落引用 Gnizio 的话，强调作品传递“美与尊重”，提醒“人类只是地球的过客，万物不属于我们”，核心是倡导对环境的尊重。由此推知，作者想要强调的是“对环境的尊重”。故选D项。 C It seems that you can ask artificial intelligence (AI) things, and they’ll give you an answer. So, can they tell jokes? This question was raised when UK comedian Karen Hobbs performed in late June. Instead of the usual jokes she created, Hobbs delivered jokes written by ChatGPT. The process made her nervous. Hobbs said that when she asked ChatGPT for a joke, what it provided was a man joking about being impatient with his shopping-addicted girlfriend. Even when she asked to change to the woman’s perspective (视角), the joke still featured a shopping-addicted girlfriend, just told from the first-person perspective. It’s no surprise that many jokes come from a male perspective in online materials, as males dominate the field of comedy. The BBC commented that AI storytelling can only reproduce information that already exists in some form, although it can produce some never-before-seen combinations of ideas. “One way that AI can tell jokes is to do what any 5-year-old does — repeat a successful joke they have heard or try to make an obvious variation of it,” said Les Carr, a professor of web science. However, a good joke in real life can always adjust to the audience’s response, which often leads comedians to improvise (即兴创作). This, unfortunately, is beyond the current capabilities of AI. For example, in improvisation, there is no space for pre-arranged plans; the comedian must rely only on their inborn reaction to the audience. “A well-done comedian can lead the audience through a funny story all the way to the last few words,” Michael Ryan, a student researching AI’s impact on comedy, explained to the BBC. “The whole time the comedian knew exactly where he or she was going with the joke and brought the audience there.” However, this could all change. Research is already ongoing to give AI a greater understanding of the world around it, which makes the future of AI jokes still uncertain. 8. How does Hobbs feel about the jokes created by ChatGPT? A. They are interesting. B. They are educational. C. They are unsatisfying. D. They are entertaining. 9. What can be inferred according to this text? A. Men are in control of the humor industry. B. Females are much less humorous than males. C. Many jokes come from a male perspective online. D. AI provided a joke for Hobbs from the woman’s perspective. 10. What can artificial intelligence do with jokes? A. Combine any never-before-seen idea. B. Adapt some existing jokes to a certain extent. C. Rely on its inborn reactions to the audience. D. Improvise jokes according to the audience’s response. 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. Can AI be really funny? B. The future of AI jokes. C. What’s a truly great joke? D. The current capabilities of AI. 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章探讨了人工智能在喜剧领域的应用，特别是AI生成笑话的能力及其局限性，通过Karen Hobbs的实验，展示了AI在创作笑话时的不足，并讨论了AI未来在喜剧领域的潜力。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Instead of the usual jokes she created, Hobbs delivered jokes written by ChatGPT. The process that made her nervous.( Hobbs通常会创作一些笑话，但这次却讲的是由ChatGPT 编写的笑话。这个过程让她感到很紧张)”和第二段中“Even when she asked to change to the woman’s perspective (视角), the joke still featured a shopping-addicted girlfriend, just told from the first-person perspective.(即使她要求切换到女性的视角，这个笑话仍然是一个痴迷于购物的女朋友，只是从第一人称的角度讲的)”可知，Hobbs觉得这些笑话并不令人满意。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“It’s no surprise that many jokes come from a male perspective in online materials, as males dominate the field of comedy.(在网络内容中，许多笑话都从男性视角出发，这并不令人意外，因为男性在喜剧领域占据主导地位)”可知，许多网络笑话来自男性视角，故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The BBC commented that AI storytelling can only reproduce information that already exists in some form, although it can produce some never-before-seen combinations of ideas.(英国广播公司（BBC）评论称，人工智能创作的故事只能重现以某种形式存在的信息，尽管它能够创造出一些前所未有的思想组合)”可知，AI能有限度改编现有笑话，故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“It seems you can ask artificial intelligence (AI) things, and they’ll give you an answer. So, can they tell jokes?(似乎你可以向人工智能（AI）提出问题，然后它会给出答案。那么，它们能讲笑话吗？)”可知，文围绕“AI能否真正创作幽默”展开，讨论其局限与未来可能性。A选项“人工智能真的能搞笑吗？”精准概括主题，适合作标题，故选A。 D Sweden is so good at recycling that, for several years, it has imported (进口) rubbish from other countries so that its recycling plants can function smoothly. Less than 1 percent of Swedish household waste was sent to landfills (垃圾填埋场) last year or any since 2011. We can only dream of such an effective system in the UK, which is new, but we end up paying expensive transport costs to send rubbish to be recycled overseas rather than paying fines to send it to landfills under the Landfill Tax of 1996. Why are we sending waste to Sweden? Their system is so far ahead because of a culture of looking after the environment. Sweden was one of the first countries to place a heavy tax on fossil fuels (化石燃料) in 1991 and now sources almost half its electricity from renewables. “In Sweden people are quite crazy about being out in nature and they have a clear idea of what needs to be done on nature and environmental problems. We worked on communications for a long time to make people not throw things outdoors so that we can recycle and use,” says Anria-Carin Gripwall, director of communications for Avfall Serve, the Swedish Waste Management’s recycling association. Over time Sweden has carried out a national recycling policy so that even though private companies undertake most of the business of importing and burning waste, the energy goes into a national heating network to heat homes through the cold Swedish winter. “That’s a key reason that we have this district network, so we can use the heating from the waste plants. In the southern part of Europe they don’t use the heating from the waste; it just goes out of the chimney. Here we use it as a replacement for fossil fuel,” M. Gripwall says. 12. Why has Sweden been importing rubbish from abroad in the past few years? A. To try out its recycling system. B. To keep its recycling plants running. C. To stop rubbish ending up in landfills. D. To make greater profits from rubbish. 13. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “sources” in paragraph 3? A. Consumes. B. Saves. C. Obtains. D. Improves. 14. How does Sweden handle the heating from the waste plants? A. By making use of it to heat homes. B. By exchanging it for fossil fuels. C. By selling it to other countries. D. By sending it out from the chimney. 15. What conclusion can be drawn from the text? A. Swedish rarely get close to nature. B. Swedish recycling system has been applied globally. C. Waste is imported only by the Swedish government. D. Swedish have a strong environmental awareness. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了瑞典在垃圾回收方面的卓越成就，包括其进口垃圾以维持回收工厂运转、利用垃圾产生的热量为家庭供暖，以及其强大的环保意识。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Sweden is so good at recycling that, for several years, it has imported (进口) rubbish from other countries so that its recycling plants can function smoothly.(瑞典非常擅长回收，以至于几年来，它一直从其他国家进口垃圾，以便其回收工厂能够顺利运转)”可知，瑞典从国外进口垃圾是为了保持其回收工厂的运转。故选B项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Sweden was one of the first countries to place a heavy tax on fossil fuels (化石燃料) in 1991 and now sources almost half its electricity from renewables.(瑞典是1991年最早对化石燃料征收重税的国家之一，现在其近一半的电力_____可再生能源)”中“place a heavy tax on fossil fuels”和“almost half its electricity from renewables”可推知，因为对化石燃料征收重税，所以瑞典其近一半的电力来自可再生能源。划线词sources意为“获得”，与C项“Obtains”意思相近。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Over time, Sweden has carried out a national recycling policy so that even though private companies undertake most of the business of importing and burning waste, the energy goes into a national heating network to heat homes through the cold Swedish winter.(随着时间的推移，瑞典实施了一项国家回收政策，这样，尽管私营公司承担了大部分进口和焚烧垃圾的业务，但这些能源会进入国家供热网络，为瑞典寒冷的冬天供暖)”可知，瑞典利用垃圾产生的热量为家庭供暖。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Their system is so far ahead because of a culture of looking after the environment. Sweden was one of the first countries to place a heavy tax on fossil fuels (化石燃料) in 1991 and now sources almost half its electricity from renewables.(他们的系统之所以如此先进，是因为有保护环境的文化。瑞典是1991年最早对化石燃料征收重税的国家之一，现在其近一半的电力来自可再生能源)”以及第四段中“In Sweden people are quite crazy about being out in nature and they have a clear idea of what needs to be done on nature and environmental problems.(在瑞典，人们非常喜欢置身于大自然中，他们对自然和环境问题需要做什么有清晰的认识)”可推知，瑞典人有强烈的环保意识。故选D项。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As a senior high school student, you are going to enter a new stage of your life, with college entrance exams approaching. ____16____ These skills will not only help you during your high-school years but also prove invaluable in college and your future career.
