1.A　细节理解题。根据第二段中所列出的数据可知，在2023年海岸线大扫除活动中，清理的垃圾中烟蒂的数量最多。 2.D　细节理解题。根据第一段中的Volunteers can register now to clean up from 9 a.m. to noon at one of the 45＋ designated （指定的） cleanup sites.可知，被招募的志愿者需要在45个指定的垃圾清理场之一从上午九点工作到中午12点。 3.D　细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，site captain的任务是负责志愿者的签到并给予他们工作指导，同时还负责给志愿者发放基本的工作物资（手套、垃圾袋、数据卡等）。 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。当Alie Ward生活陷入绝望时，一位陌生人的出现改变了她的人生轨迹。 4.D　细节理解题。根据第二段中Those posts attracted the attention of a woman named Lila Higgins可知，Alie Ward在Facebook上分享的照片吸引了Lila Higgins的注意，并促使对方联系她。 5.A　词句猜测题。根据上下文语境可知，这里Alie Ward要表达的意思是：别人可能认为博物馆的昆虫饲养研究室没什么意思，可是这却是她的最爱。 6.B　推理判断题。根据倒数第三段可知，关于自己在博物馆的经历，Alie Ward重点强调的是她从中找到了人生的价值感和意义所在。 7.C　推理判断题。根据最后两段可知，不久，Alie Ward辞去原来的工作，开始做她真正热爱的事——从事科学媒体工作，成为一个名为Ologies的播客的创作者和主持人。由此可推知，她的职业道路因为Lila Higgins的缘故发生了重大改变。 Ⅱ. 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。面对人工智能带来的挑战，我们怎样才能在未来职场立于不败之地呢？作者给我们提出了两条建议。 8.D　根据下文rather than feel left out 可知，作者建议我们利用好人工智能，使其对我们有利，而非感觉到自己被淘汰。to sb’s advantage（其结果）对某人有利或有帮助。 9.D　根据下文信息because of the strength of their brands以及branding matters可知，本段主要强调品牌的重要性。 10.A　根据上文AI tools have reached sufficient quality可知，人工智能工具已经达到了相当的水平，它们很可能会摧毁许多行业的中低端市场。 11.B　上文指出人工智能工具的先进，这里However引起转折，说明有一点是非常确定的——那就是那些行业领袖不会被取代。 12.C　参见上题解析。get replaced表示“被取代；被代替”。 13.B　上文指出those industry leaders won’t get replaced，这里则接着说他们会继续花大价钱与其他行业领袖合作。 14.B　参见上题解析。top of their field指“他们行业里的领袖；他们行业里的佼佼者”。 15.C　这些商业领袖之所以会选择与其他领域里的顶尖人物合作，一方面是为了向外界展示他们在跟什么样的人打交道，另一方面展示他们珍视什么。associate with与……交往。 16.A　作者认为：人工智能的崛起并没有改变品牌很重要这一事实。 17.D　这里作者陈述了一个事实：人工智能工具几乎可以片刻之间收集大量事实。 18.A　下文所指出的some of those facts aren’t true是一个“很遗憾的/很不幸的”事实。 19.C　根据上文提到的some of those facts aren’t true可知，尽管人工智能是一种非常有价值的工具，但它并不总是能够提供准确的结果。这说明它并非总是值得被信赖。 20.A　结合上下文可知，正因为人工智能工具还不完善、不准确，所以我们需要提升个人的专业知识和技能去检查和甄别人工智能所提供的信息，这是非常有价值的。 21.C　我们在对人工智能所提供的信息进行检查和甄别时，自然是选择那些可信和可靠的来源。 22.B　如果你恰好是那个专业的人才，那么你将仍然被需要和被寻找。说明你未来不会被人工智能取代。seek out寻找，搜寻。 Ⅲ. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。2023年，在中国内地求职的海归人数略有下降，原因是在竞争日益激烈的国内就业市场上，拥有海外教育背景的人才优势正在减弱。 23.seeking　考查非谓语动词。此处需要一个后置定语来修饰本空前的名词短语overseas returnees，由于overseas returnees与seek之间是主动关系，因此用动词-ing形式。 24.an　考查冠词。名词education前面通常加不定冠词，如get/receive an education。 25.were attracted　考查时态和语态。本句时间状语为last year，且表示被动概念，因此用一般过去时的被动语态。 26.stronger　考查形容词的比较级。本空后面的greater opportunities暗示这里应用形容词的比较级。 27.for　考查介词。be/remain thirsty for是固定搭配，表示“渴望……”。 28.though/although/while　考查状语从句。本句中said后面是一个由that引导的宾语从句，在该宾语从句中又包含一个由though/although/while引导的让步状语从句。 29.performance　考查词形转换。本空前面的两个形容词stable economic暗示这里应用名词形式。 30.to take　考查非谓语动词。be willing to do sth是固定表达，表示“愿意做某事”。 31.who/that　考查定语从句。本空前面的returnees是一个先行词，这里由关系代词who/that引导一个定语从句来修饰它。关系代词who/that在从句中作主语。 32.expectations　考查名词复数。expectation表“期望”时通常用复数形式。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
