The Simons Fellows conclude their program by producing a research poster.(西蒙斯研究员将与石溪分校的研究顾问配对，加入一个研究小组或团队，并承担一个项目的责任。西蒙斯研究员通过制作研究海报来结束他们的项目)”可知，参与者需要设计一个研究海报。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Eligibility (资格)部分“Applicants must be in their junior year (11th grade) of high school at the time of applying and must be at least 16 years old by the start of the program.(申请者在申请时必须是高中三年级（11年级），并且在项目开始时必须至少16岁)”可知，参与者有年龄要求。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Housing and pining Dinner部分“Projected summer 24 program costs (residential) : $2, 781. 50(includes $600 Meal Plan and $61. 50 Student Health Services Fee(预计24个夏季项目费用（住宿）：2,781.50美元（包括600美元的膳食计划和61.50美元的学生健康服务费用）)”可知，住宿费除去膳食费用和健康服务费用，即，2,781.50美元—600美元—61.50美元=2120美元。故选D。 B Daily runs can be boring and tiring for high school athletes, even for cross-country runners who love the sport. Inspiring them over the summer break can be even harder. Some coaches send out training plans, and others offer prizes. Luis Escobar, who was the cross-country team coach at St. Joseph High School in Santa Maria, California, was brainstorming with his wife when she hit on an idea: get a pack of cute, energetic shelter dogs to go out with his runners. “The dogs need more physical and mental excitement, as well as social time with other dogs and people. They want to go out and run; the kids love dogs, and they love running. It was a perfect marriage,” said Escobar. He reached out to a local animal shelter, and it was on board. After the shelter staff gave the athletes a meeting on best practices for running with dogs, the students set out to find their lovely partners. Escobar took a video of the outing and shared the sweet scene on social media. Little did Escobar know then that the 60-second video would fly across the Internet with hundreds of thousands of views overnight. “It just went out of control in a very, very good way,” said Escobar. The video inspired other schools to find their own puppy “trainers”. “Our athletic director was getting messages and emails from other athletic directors around the country, wanting to know how they could do this project at their school,” Escobar said. Not only did the shelter dog run become a main training activity for St. Joseph’s cross-country team, but it also resulted in some adoptions, unexpectedly. “Many, many dogs were adopted as a result of this,” Escobar said. “That is the thing that I am probably most proud of.” “It’s really cool that this one thing that is so simple could be so impactful,” Escobar said. He is not surprised his short video gained such popularity. “It was 60 seconds of sincere, organized kindness,” he said. “The world needs kindness.” 4. Why did Escobar choose shelter dogs for training? A. They lift the athletes’ team spirit. B. They raise recognition of the event. C. They need to stay physically strong. D. They add fun and willingness to training. 5. What was the result of the running activity? A. It inspired more daily running. B. It received funding for the events. C. It improved teenage athletes' fitness. D. It gained immediate attention and admiration. 6. What does Escobar think of the shelter dog run? A. Small but influential. B. Tough but interesting. C. Unexpected and risky. D. Formal and educational. 7. Which of the following best describes this running activity? A. Share roses and get fun. B. Kill two birds with one stone. C. Do good and throw it into the sea. D. Put your eggs in multiple baskets. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了加利福尼亚州圣玛丽亚圣约瑟夫高中的越野队教练路易斯·埃斯科瓦尔，在暑假期间为激励队员训练，想出让收容所的狗狗与队员一起跑步的点子，这一活动不仅成为训练的主要方式，还意外促成许多狗狗被领养，视频在网络上迅速传播并受到广泛关注和赞赏。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The dogs need more physical and mental excitement, as well as social time with other dogs and people. They want to go out and run; the kids love dogs, and they love running. It was a perfect marriage.(这些狗需要更多的身体和精神上的刺激，以及与其他狗和人相处的时间。它们想出去跑步；孩子们喜欢狗，他们也喜欢跑步。这是完美的结合。)”可知，埃斯科瓦尔选择收容所的狗进行训练是因为它们为训练增添了乐趣和意愿。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Escobar took a video of the outing and shared the sweet scene on social media. Little did Escobar know then that the 60-second video would fly across the Internet with hundreds of thousands of views overnight.(埃斯科瓦尔拍摄了这次外出活动的视频，并在社交媒体上分享了这一甜蜜的场景。埃斯科瓦尔当时并不知道，这段60秒的视频会在网上迅速传播，一夜之间就有数十万的浏览量。)”可知，跑步活动的结果是它立即引起了关注和赞赏。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s really cool that this one thing that is so simple could be so impactful.(这么简单的一件事就能产生如此大的影响，真是太酷了。)”可知，埃斯科瓦尔认为收容所的狗跑步活动小而有影响力。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Not only did the shelter dog run become a main training activity for St. Joseph’s cross-country team, but it also resulted in some adoptions, unexpectedly.(收容所的狗跑步不仅成为圣约瑟夫越野队的主要训练活动，而且还意外地促成了一些领养。)”可知，这次跑步活动不仅帮助了运动员训练，还意外地让一些狗狗被领养，即一石二鸟。故选B。 C Children are born with the curiosity to explore. Yet over time they are becoming less curious about science. Why? This loss of interest may be partly the result of language cues (提示) children hear. And these cues don’t come just from parents; they can also come from school teachers who treat science as an identity rather than actions. When talking to children, many adults might say things like “Let’s be scientists today!” or “You’re such a good scientist!”. But this kind of identity-focused language, which focuses on science as an identity rather than activities and actions that people do, can be demoralizing for young children. One study showed that children as young as four, especially girls, kept their interest longer when their cue to participate in science activities was “Let’s do science” rather than “Let’s be scientists.” One possibility is that when thinking of a scientist, children might picture a white man. If they don’t share that identity, they lose interest in an activity designed “for scientists.” This stereotypical (刻板印象的) belief that science is reserved for only certain-kinds of people emerges surprisingly early. By the first grade, when asked to draw a scientist, children tend to draw a white man. The good news is that language cues can also be directed to promote engagement with science. Describing science as actions that we take, for example, seems to protect young children’s interest in science over time. But it’s also true that teenagers are actively trying on and ultimately forming different identities for themselves. So in contrast to its demoralizing effects on young children, identity-focused language may help teens stay interested in science. In another study, cueing a future identity based on science (such as “scientist” or “doctor”) motivated middle schoolers to do more homework and was associated with higher grades. Consequently, adults had better use different language cues for children of different age groups to maintain their curiosity about science. 8. What does the underlined word “demoralizing” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Inappropriate. B. Impolite. C. Unconvincing. D. Discouraging. 9. Why was action-focused language especially effective to young girls? A. Because it avoids identity conflict in girls’ mind. B. Because stereotypical belief is reserved for girls. C. Because it enhances girls’ engagement in science. D. Because it shows the activity is designed for girls. 10. What may be the author’s suggestion for parents and teachers? A. To treat language as cues. B. To use identity-focused language. C. To adopt flexible strategies. D. To help teenagers form identities. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why Is Action Better than Identity? B. How Do Parents Raise Young Scientists? C. How Does Age Affect Science Learning? D. What Affects Children’s Interest in Science? 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍儿童对科学的好奇心下降的原因，以及不同语言提示对不同年龄段儿童科学兴趣的影响，并给出相应建议。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“But this kind of identity-focused language, which focuses on science as an identity rather than activities and actions that people do, can be demoralizing for young children. One study showed that children as young as four, especially girls, kept their interest longer when their cue to participate in science activities was “Let’s do science” rather than “Let’s be scientists.”(但这种以身份为核心的语言，将科学视为一种身份，而非人们所做的活动和行动，可能会对幼儿造成demoralizing影响。一项研究表明，4岁的孩子，尤其是女孩，当参与科学活动的提示是“让我们做科学”而不是“让我们成为科学家”时，能保持更长时间的兴趣。)”可知，以身份为核心的语言会让幼儿难以保持兴趣，因此“demoralizing”意为“令人气馁的”。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“One possibility is that when thinking of a scientist, children might picture a white man. If they don’t share that identity, they lose interest in an activity designed “for scientists.”(一种可能性是，当想到科学家时，孩子们可能会想到一个白人男性。如果他们没有这种身份认同，就会对为“科学家”设计的活动失去兴趣。)”以及第二段中行动导向语言让幼儿（尤其女孩）保持兴趣的研究结果可知，行动导向语言对女孩特别有效，是因为它避免了女孩心中的身份冲突。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Consequently, adults had better use different language cues for children of different age groups to maintain their curiosity about science.(因此，成年人最好对不同年龄段的孩子使用不同的语言提示，以保持他们对科学的好奇心。)”可知，作者建议家长和老师采用灵活的策略，针对不同年龄段儿童使用不同语言提示。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，第一段提出儿童对科学好奇心下降的问题及部分原因（语言提示），第二段对比不同语言提示对幼儿的影响，第三段解释身份导向语言产生负面影响的原因，第四段说明语言提示对青少年的积极影响，最后给出针对不同年龄段儿童使用不同语言提示的建议，由此可知，全文围绕“什么影响儿童对科学的兴趣”展开，因此D项“什么影响儿童对科学的兴趣？”适合作为标题。故选D项。 D In just over a year, the field of generative (生成的) artificial intelligence has constantly seen extraordinary advancements. The recent introduction of OpenAI’s GPT-4 model has reduced the presence of false information, which marks a major step forward as generative AI is now better at creating images without errors and producing clear, understandable text. Nowadays, the customization of AI for specific tasks is becoming increasingly popular, with significant support directed towards developing AI solutions for particular purposes, such as analyzing legal agreements and medical images. This emphasizes the growing employment of AI in specialized areas, increasing its influence beyond general tasks. At first, it seemed that only large companies with significant computing power could tap into the advanced ability of AI. However, services like Hugging Face have popularized access to AI technologies, proving that even smaller models can live up to a high standard. This turning has widened the user base, allowing a wider range of individuals and organizations to take advantage of AI tools. Despite these advancements, the potential dangers of AI cannot be ignored. Risks include misuse in creating misleading information as well as privacy concerns arising from the data that AI systems require for training. These concerns stress the need for constant caution and ethical (道德的) considerations to ensure that AI technologies are developed and used responsibly. As AI continues to develop, its impact is set to redefine what is possible. However, the integration of AI into various industries must be approached with caution, considering the potential dangers alongside the benefits. The future of AI promises to add to processes and inspire new methodologies as long as we find proper approaches to avoid its risks in advance. 12. What is an advantage of OpenAI’s GPT-4? A. Its varied functions. B. Its greater accuracy. C. Its faster processing speed. D. Its increased memory power. 13. What do the examples in Paragraph 2 intend to show about AI? A. The limited potential in image analysis. B. The theoretical basis for task completion. C. The practical application in professional fields. D. The insufficient technique support for innovation. 14. What is a positive change in AI according to the text? A. Being available to more groups. B. Being protective of user privacy. C. Being focused on difficult AI models. D. Being economical for industrial development. 15. What is probably the author’s attitude towards AI? A. Indifferent. B. Resistant. C. Supportive. D. Objective. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了人工智能的进步，最后提醒人工智能与各个行业的整合必须谨慎对待。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The recent introduction of OpenAI’s GPT-4 model has reduced the presence of false information, which marks a major step forward as generative AI is now better at creating images without errors and producing clear, understandable text.(最近引入的OpenAI的GPT-4模型减少了虚假信息的存在，这标志着人工智能向前迈出了一大步，因为生成式人工智能现在更擅长创建没有错误的图像，并生成清晰、可理解的文本)”可知，OpenAI的GPT-4减少了虚假信息的存在，所以它的优势是更准确，故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Nowadays, the customization of AI for specific tasks is becoming increasingly popular, with significant support directed towards developing AI solutions for particular purposes, such as analyzing legal agreements and medical images. This emphasizes the growing employment of AI in specialized areas, increasing its influence beyond general tasks.(如今，为特定任务定制人工智能正变得越来越流行，为特定目的开发人工智能解决方案（如分析法律协议和医学图像）提供了大量支持。这强调了人工智能在专业领域的越来越多的就业，增加了它在一般任务之外的影响力)”可知，第二段提到分析法律协议和医学图像的例子是为了表明人工智能在专业领域的实际应用，故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“This turning has widened the user base, allowing a wider range of individuals and organizations to take advantage of AI tools.(这种转变扩大了用户基础，允许更广泛的个人和组织利用人工智能工具)”可知，人工智能的积极变化是被更多的群体使用，故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However, the integration of AI into various industries must be approached with caution, considering the potential dangers alongside the benefits. The future of AI promises to add to processes and inspire new methodologies as long as we find proper approaches to avoid its risks in advance.(然而，人工智能与各个行业的整合必须谨慎对待，考虑到潜在的危险和好处。只要我们提前找到适当的方法来避免其风险，人工智能的未来有望增加流程并激发新的方法)”可知，作者提到人工智能的好处和危险，故作者对人工智能的态度是客观的，故选D。 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。 Facial expressions are the primary way people show emotion and understand the feelings of others. Happiness, sadness, disgust, fear and surprise can be communicated through facial expressions alone. ___16___ Fortunately, you can regain some control over communication by working with what you have left — the eyes. If you want to increase understanding with a masked individual, you should look them in the eyes. ___17___ Eye contact needs extra brain power and becomes uncomfortable after only three seconds. But bear in mind, eye contact can also make you appear more intelligent and trustworthy. You might be surprised how much information is conveyed by the body itself. For instance, when someone is happy, they lift their head; when they are sad, they drop their head. Learning how people use their bodies to convey emotion may help reduce the uncertainty you feel when communicating with someone in a mask. ___18___ When engaged in a conversation, you can appear more attentive by turning your body toward the individual, leaning in or nodding. To let another person know you want to start speaking, straighten your posture, or nod more frequently. Don’t forget the impact of your voice. ___19___ Along with the actual words, you also use volume, tone and pauses to convey your message. For instance, a whisper may indicate sadness or insecurity, whereas a higher-pitched shout could show anger or intensity. ___20___ As long as you adopt proper manners, good communication still can be achieved though faces are partially covered. A. It may be easier said than done. B. Become aware of your own body language, too. C. It’s not just what you say, but it’s how you say it. D. Social distance doesn’t have to mean socially distant. E. Raising your voice can alter the message you are trying to send. F. But when part of the face is masked, it becomes tougher to recognize them. G. You can use your body and voice to convey the emotions your mask might hide. 【答案】16. F 17. A 18. B 19. C 20. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了面部表情在人们沟通中的重要作用，以及除了面部表情之外，人们还应该利用眼神交流和肢体语言的方式去沟通。 【16题详解】 由上文“Facial expressions are the primary way people show emotion and understand the feelings of others. Happiness, sadness, disgust, fear and surprise can be communicated through facial expressions alone. (面部表情是人们表达情感和理解他人感受的主要方式。快乐、悲伤、厌恶、恐惧和惊讶都可以通过面部表情来传达。)”可知，这里主要讲人们可通过面部表情表达各种情感，而F项But when part of the face is masked, it becomes tougher to recognize them.(但当面部的一部分被掩盖时，识别它们变得更加困难。)符合语境，与上文形成转折，其中them指代上文 Happiness, sadness, disgust, fear and surprise。故选F项。 【17题详解】 由上文“If you want to increase understanding with a masked individual, you should look them in the eyes. (如果你想增进对戴口罩人的理解，你应该直视他们的眼睛。)” 可知，与戴口罩人交流可以看他们的眼睛，而下文“Eye contact needs extra brain power and becomes uncomfortable after only three seconds.(眼神交流需要额外的脑力，仅仅三秒钟后就会变得不舒服。)”可知，眼神交流也并不容易，所以A项It may be easier said than done.(说起来容易做起来难。)符合语境，有承上启下作用，其中It代指前文 you should look them in the eyes。故选A项。 【18题详解】 由下文“When engaged in a conversation, you can appear more attentive by turning your body toward the individual, leaning in or nodding. To let another person know you want to start speaking, straighten your posture, or nod more frequently.(在交谈中，你可以通过将身体转向对方、身体前倾或点头来显得更加专注。为了让别人知道你想开始说话，挺直你的姿势，或者更频繁地点头。)”可知，这里主要讲在交流中要注意自己的肢体语言，所以B项Become aware of your own body language, too.(也要注意自己的肢体语言。)符合语境，有启下作用。故选B项。 【19题详解】 由下文“Along with the actual words, you also use volume, tone and pauses to convey your message. For instance, a whisper may indicate sadness or insecurity, whereas a higher- pitched shout could show anger or intensity.(除了实际的单词，你还可以使用音量、语调和停顿来传达你的信息。例如，耳语可能表示悲伤或不安全感，而高音喊叫可能表示愤怒或强烈。)”可知，这里建议要注意说话方式，所以C项It’s not just what you say, but it’s how you say it.(这不仅仅是你说什么，而是你怎么说。)符合语境，有启下作用。故选C项。 【20题详解】 由下文“As long as you adopt proper manners, good communication still can be achieved though faces are partially covered.(只要你举止得体，即使脸被部分遮住，也能实现良好的沟通。)”可知，本句在总结：即使戴着口罩也能有效地沟通，虽有社交隔离但不会造成社交疏远，而D项Social distance doesn’t have to mean socially distant.(社交隔离并不一定意味着社交疏远。)符合语境，其中socially distant与后文good communication形成对比，有启下作用。故选D项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分24分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My mother has always been one of those rare people that sees the good in everyone and does good things.

Being in such a beautiful and wild place makes me feel blessed to be alive. (英译汉) 【答案】在这样一个美丽而荒凉的地方，我感到活着是幸运的。 【解析】 【分析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词和固定短语。分析句子可知，句子主语是“Being in such a beautiful and wild place”，为动名词作主语，意思是“在这样一个美丽而荒凉的地方”，“make sb. do sth.”意为“使某人做某事”，“to be alive”为动词不定式作原因状语，“makes me feel blessed to be alive”意思是“我感到活着是幸运的”。故本句可译为：在这样一个美丽而荒凉的地方，我感到活着是幸运的。 45. People have a tendency to lean towards whatever they are interested in. (英译汉) ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】人们在对某个事物感兴趣时，往往会身体前倾。 【解析】 【详解】考查宾语从句。People表示“人们”，作主语；have a tendency to do...表示“往往……”；lean towards表示“身体前倾”；whatever they are interested in表示“在对某个事物感兴趣时”，作宾语，whatever引导宾语从句，在从句中作宾语。故翻译成：人们在对某个事物感兴趣时，往往会身体前倾。 第二节 (满分15 分) 46. 假设你是李华，你在北京上学的英国笔友Jane发邮件跟你说周末想来你的城市短途休闲游，请你推荐一座公园。请你给她回复一封邮件，内容包括： 1.推荐的公园； 2.推荐的理由。 注意:1.词数80左右； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Dear Jane, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】One possible version Dear Jane, I’m so excited to know you’ll visit my city this weekend.

I hate chicken rolls!” Matt yelled. “I’m not eating this.” Matt’s mom and dad looked at each other. Matt’s outbursts had been happening at least once a week all summer long. “You know what, Matt? We re going to let you take over dinnertime from now on. You can pick the meals and cook them, as long as they’re healthy,” Mom said. “Good, we’re going to eat good food every night!” Matt answered. The next day, Dad sat down with Matt to make the meal plan so he could go grocery shopping. Matt had already been thinking about his favorite dinners. “We’re going to have beef tonight, and spaghetti tomorrow, and macaroni (通心粉) and cheese the next day,” Matt started. “Woah, hold on now,” Dad said. “What else are we going to have with the beef? We need to have at least one vegetable with each meal, and usually we have another side to go with it.” “Oh, yeah. Um, we can have corn with the beef,” Matt said. “Sophia does not like corn,” said Dad. “Well, it’s my choice, so I’m going to make corn,” Matt replied. “OK, but she might complain at dinner tonight. Are you ready for that?” Dad asked. “Yeah, whatever,” Matt answered. Matt and his dad spent the next hour figuring out the whole week’s meals and side dishes. It was a lot more work than Matt expected, and almost every time he picked something out, his dad would tell him that someone in the family wouldn’t like it. It was very frustrating. “This is impossible!” Matt said. “Yes, it is hard. Your mother and I try very hard to make everyone happy, but everyone has different tastes, and sometimes, we just can’t please everyone.” “Fine, we’ll have to just go with this plan this week. Next week I’ll try to make everyone happy,” replied Matt. 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。 When finishing grocery shopping, it was time for Matt to make his first meal. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two hours had passed by before the dishes were ready on the table. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 When finishing grocery shopping, it was time for Matt to make his first meal. Looking at the grocery he deadly wanted to eat, Matt felt so excited and confident about the dinner to be made by him at first. But the reality gave him a lesson soon. When he tried to fry the beef, he didn’t know how to control the fire, so that the beef was burning. His parents wanted to lend him a hand but he refused it and finally he made it in the fourth time with the help of the cooking video! For the corn, he just boiled it and covered some cream on it. Two hours had passed by before the dishes were ready on the table. Deadly exhausted, Matt felt so proud of himself and anticipated the praises from his families. “Ew, this beef tastes very odd,” Sophia said. Matt took a bite. It did taste odd. But he’d worked so hard! He felt like he might cry. “It’s OK, Matt, cooking is hard. It takes a long time to figure it out. Sophia, just be nice. Matt worked really hard on this dinner. We should appreciate it.” Mom said. “I’m sorry…” he apologized. Since then, it downed on Matt that he should treat every meal from his parents with respect and appreciation. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Matt对妈妈做的饭很挑剔，每周至少会发一次脾气，妈妈让Matt自己准备饭菜，Matt和妈妈开始制作饮食计划，可是每次他想出来的菜都会包括家里有人不喜欢的东西，爸爸告诉Matt自己和妈妈非常努力地让每个人都开心，但每个人的品味不同，有时就是不能让每个人都满意，Matt说这周就按照这个计划来，下周会尽力让每个人都开心。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“买完东西后，马特就开始做他的第一顿饭了。”可知，第一段可描写马特是如何做第一顿饭的。 ②由第二段首句内容“两个小时过去了，菜才上桌。”可知，第二段可描写家人对马特做的饭菜的评价和马特的改变。 2.续写线索：为做饭感到激动——做饭过程——期待赞扬——家人的评价——妈妈安慰——马特道歉和改变 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①尝试：try to do/attempt to do ②期待：anticipate/expect ③道歉：apologize/make an apology 情绪类 ①激动的：excited/thrilled ②自豪：feel proud of/take pride in 【点睛】[高分句型1] Looking at the grocery he deadly wanted to eat, Matt felt so excited and confident about the dinner to be made by him at first.

B Daily runs can be boring and tiring for high school athletes, even for cross-country runners who love the sport. Inspiring them over the summer break can be even harder. Some coaches send out training plans, and others offer prizes. Luis Escobar, who was the cross-country team coach at St. Joseph High School in Santa Maria, California, was brainstorming with his wife when she hit on an idea: get a pack of cute, energetic shelter dogs to go out with his runners. “The dogs need more physical and mental excitement, as well as social time with other dogs and people. They want to go out and run; the kids love dogs, and they love running. It was a perfect marriage,” said Escobar. He reached out to a local animal shelter, and it was on board. After the shelter staff gave the athletes a meeting on best practices for running with dogs, the students set out to find their lovely partners. Escobar took a video of the outing and shared the sweet scene on social media. Little did Escobar know then that the 60-second video would fly across the Internet with hundreds of thousands of views overnight. “It just went out of control in a very, very good way,” said Escobar. The video inspired other schools to find their own puppy “trainers”. “Our athletic director was getting messages and emails from other athletic directors around the country, wanting to know how they could do this project at their school,” Escobar said. Not only did the shelter dog run become a main training activity for St. Joseph’s cross-country team, but it also resulted in some adoptions, unexpectedly. “Many, many dogs were adopted as a result of this,” Escobar said. “That is the thing that I am probably most proud of.” “It’s really cool that this one thing that is so simple could be so impactful,” Escobar said. He is not surprised his short video gained such popularity. “It was 60 seconds of sincere, organized kindness,” he said. “The world needs kindness.” 4. Why did Escobar choose shelter dogs for training? A. They lift the athletes’ team spirit. B. They raise recognition of the event. C. They need to stay physically strong. D. They add fun and willingness to training. 5. What was the result of the running activity? A. It inspired more daily running. B. It received funding for the events. C. It improved teenage athletes' fitness. D. It gained immediate attention and admiration. 6. What does Escobar think of the shelter dog run? A. Small but influential. B. Tough but interesting. C. Unexpected and risky. D. Formal and educational. 7. Which of the following best describes this running activity? A. Share roses and get fun. B. Kill two birds with one stone. C. Do good and throw it into the sea. D. Put your eggs in multiple baskets. C Children are born with the curiosity to explore. Yet over time they are becoming less curious about science. Why? This loss of interest may be partly the result of language cues (提示) children hear. And these cues don’t come just from parents; they can also come from school teachers who treat science as an identity rather than actions. When talking to children, many adults might say things like “Let’s be scientists today!” or “You’re such a good scientist!”. But this kind of identity-focused language, which focuses on science as an identity rather than activities and actions that people do, can be demoralizing for young children. One study showed that children as young as four, especially girls, kept their interest longer when their cue to participate in science activities was “Let’s do science” rather than “Let’s be scientists.” One possibility is that when thinking of a scientist, children might picture a white man. If they don’t share that identity, they lose interest in an activity designed “for scientists.” This stereotypical (刻板印象的) belief that science is reserved for only certain-kinds of people emerges surprisingly early. By the first grade, when asked to draw a scientist, children tend to draw a white man. The good news is that language cues can also be directed to promote engagement with science. Describing science as actions that we take, for example, seems to protect young children’s interest in science over time. But it’s also true that teenagers are actively trying on and ultimately forming different identities for themselves. So in contrast to its demoralizing effects on young children, identity-focused language may help teens stay interested in science. In another study, cueing a future identity based on science (such as “scientist” or “doctor”) motivated middle schoolers to do more homework and was associated with higher grades. Consequently, adults had better use different language cues for children of different age groups to maintain their curiosity about science. 8. What does the underlined word “demoralizing” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Inappropriate. B. Impolite. C. Unconvincing. D. Discouraging. 9. Why was action-focused language especially effective to young girls? A. Because it avoids identity conflict in girls’ mind. B. Because stereotypical belief is reserved for girls. C. Because it enhances girls’ engagement in science. D. Because it shows the activity is designed for girls. 10. What may be the author’s suggestion for parents and teachers? A. To treat language as cues. B. To use identity-focused language. C. To adopt flexible strategies. D. To help teenagers form identities. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Why Is Action Better than Identity? B. How Do Parents Raise Young Scientists? C. How Does Age Affect Science Learning? D. What Affects Children’s Interest in Science? D In just over a year, the field of generative (生成的) artificial intelligence has constantly seen extraordinary advancements. The recent introduction of OpenAI’s GPT-4 model has reduced the presence of false information, which marks a major step forward as generative AI is now better at creating images without errors and producing clear, understandable text. Nowadays, the customization of AI for specific tasks is becoming increasingly popular, with significant support directed towards developing AI solutions for particular purposes, such as analyzing legal agreements and medical images. This emphasizes the growing employment of AI in specialized areas, increasing its influence beyond general tasks. At first, it seemed that only large companies with significant computing power could tap into the advanced ability of AI. However, services like Hugging Face have popularized access to AI technologies, proving that even smaller models can live up to a high standard. This turning has widened the user base, allowing a wider range of individuals and organizations to take advantage of AI tools. Despite these advancements, the potential dangers of AI cannot be ignored. Risks include misuse in creating misleading information as well as privacy concerns arising from the data that AI systems require for training. These concerns stress the need for constant caution and ethical (道德的) considerations to ensure that AI technologies are developed and used responsibly. As AI continues to develop, its impact is set to redefine what is possible. However, the integration of AI into various industries must be approached with caution, considering the potential dangers alongside the benefits. The future of AI promises to add to processes and inspire new methodologies as long as we find proper approaches to avoid its risks in advance. 12. What is an advantage of OpenAI’s GPT-4? A.

Happiness, sadness, disgust, fear and surprise can be communicated through facial expressions alone. ___16___ Fortunately, you can regain some control over communication by working with what you have left — the eyes. If you want to increase understanding with a masked individual, you should look them in the eyes. ___17___ Eye contact needs extra brain power and becomes uncomfortable after only three seconds. But bear in mind, eye contact can also make you appear more intelligent and trustworthy. You might be surprised how much information is conveyed by the body itself.

Learning how people use their bodies to convey emotion may help reduce the uncertainty you feel when communicating with someone in a mask. ___18___ When engaged in a conversation, you can appear more attentive by turning your body toward the individual, leaning in or nodding. To let another person know you want to start speaking, straighten your posture, or nod more frequently. Don’t forget the impact of your voice. ___19___ Along with the actual words, you also use volume, tone and pauses to convey your message.

I hate chicken rolls!” Matt yelled. “I’m not eating this.” Matt’s mom and dad looked at each other. Matt’s outbursts had been happening at least once a week all summer long. “You know what, Matt? We re going to let you take over dinnertime from now on. You can pick the meals and cook them, as long as they’re healthy,” Mom said. “Good, we’re going to eat good food every night!” Matt answered. The next day, Dad sat down with Matt to make the meal plan so he could go grocery shopping. Matt had already been thinking about his favorite dinners. “We’re going to have beef tonight, and spaghetti tomorrow, and macaroni (通心粉) and cheese the next day,” Matt started. “Woah, hold on now,” Dad said. “What else are we going to have with the beef? We need to have at least one vegetable with each meal, and usually we have another side to go with it.” “Oh, yeah. Um, we can have corn with the beef,” Matt said. “Sophia does not like corn,” said Dad. “Well, it’s my choice, so I’m going to make corn,” Matt replied. “OK, but she might complain at dinner tonight. Are you ready for that?” Dad asked. “Yeah, whatever,” Matt answered. Matt and his dad spent the next hour figuring out the whole week’s meals and side dishes. It was a lot more work than Matt expected, and almost every time he picked something out, his dad would tell him that someone in the family wouldn’t like it. It was very frustrating. “This is impossible!” Matt said. “Yes, it is hard. Your mother and I try very hard to make everyone happy, but everyone has different tastes, and sometimes, we just can’t please everyone.” “Fine, we’ll have to just go with this plan this week. Next week I’ll try to make everyone happy,” replied Matt. 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。 When finishing grocery shopping, it was time for Matt to make his first meal. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two hours had passed by before the dishes were ready on the table. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
