There is an element of surprise as the food comes in a lucky “magic bag”, each costing a third of the sale price. Olio Founded in 2015, Olio claims to be the world’s biggest food-sharing network. It connects neighbors with each other so that surplus food is given, not thrown away. Olio users just take a picture of their items and add them to the listings. Neighbors receive customized messages and can request anything they fancy, with pick-up arranged through private messaging. Kitche Kitche handled food waste in the home by helping users to keep track of what they have bought and plan meals accordingly. Users scan receipts or upload online receipts stored on their phones. The app will then tap into its recipe bank to plan meals based on the food you have, reminding you of items nearing use-by dates. NoWaste NoWaste allows users to keep track of the food in their fridge and freezer, also by scanning shopping receipts. You can set the use-by dates for all your food, receive messages when they are close to the last date, and record shopping lists and meal plans. 1. Which app enables users to buy food at really low prices? A. Olio. B. Kitche. C. NoWaste. D. Too Good To Go. 2. What can users do through Olio? A. Buy unsold food from supermarkets. B. Share surplus food with neighbors. C Find a “magic bag” of food from cafes. D. Plan meals using available food items. 3. What do Kitche and NoWaste have in common? A. Both can offer users online receipts after their shopping. B. Both can advise users what to buy based on a recipe bank. C. Both can remind users of foods’ use-by dates. D. Both can tell users what food they waste the most. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了四款关于减少食物浪费的应用程序。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“There is an element of surprise as the food comes in a lucky “magic bag”, each costing a third of the sale price.(食物装在一个幸运的“魔法袋”里，每袋的价格都是售价的三分之一，这让人感到惊讶)”可知，“Too Good To Go”应用程序能使得用户以较低的价格买到食物，故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It connects neighbors with each other so that surplus food is given, not thrown away.(它将邻居彼此连接起来，这样多余的食物就可以得到而不是扔掉)”可知，通过“Olio”应用程序，用户可以与邻居分享多余食物，故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Users scan receipts or upload online receipts stored on their phones. The app will then tap into its recipe bank to plan meals based on the food you have, reminding you of items nearing use-by dates.(用户扫描收据或上传手机中存储的在线收据。然后，该应用程序将利用其食谱库，根据您拥有的食物来规划膳食，并提醒您哪些食物即将到期)”以及第四段“NoWaste allows users to keep track of the food in their fridge and freezer, also by scanning shopping receipts. You can set the use-by dates for all your food, receive messages when they are close to the last date, and record shopping lists and meal plans.(NoWaste通过扫描购物收据，允许用户追踪冰箱和冷冻柜中的食物。您可以为所有食物设置保质期，当它们接近最后期限时接收消息，并记录购物清单和膳食计划)”可知，Kitche和NoWaste的共同之处为两者都可以提醒用户食物的保质期，故选C项。 B The 71st annual Boston Marathon was held on April 19, 1967. This day was filled with freezing rain, snow and strong winds. However, for one participant named Kathrine Switzer, the weather conditions were the least of her worries. Kathrine was the first and only registered female runner in the marathon and she had something to prove. The first few miles were a piece of cake for Kathrine. Then around mile four, she realized someone was chasing (追逐) her. She turned around and was startled to see an angry face just inches away. It was the race director (赛事总监), Jock Semple. “Get the hell out of my race and give me those numbers!” Jock yelled. As he said this, he grabbed Kathrine and tried ripping her race numbers off her sweatshirt. Kathrine was so shocked and terrified. As Jock clung to her sweatshirt, Kathrine struggled to break free. Kathrine felt awful. She thought about dropping out, but soon she knew that wasn’t an option. “If I quit, nobody would ever believe that women had the capability to run 26-plus miles. If I quit, everybody would say it was a show. If I quit, it would set women’s sports back, way back, instead of forward...” While all this thinking was going on, Kathrine continued, until she found herself nearing the finish line. Completely soaked and greeted by only a handful of reporters, none of whom cheered, Kathrine completed the race in a time of 4 hours and 20 minutes. The race was over, but her pursuit of change was just beginning. She was a primary force behind getting women officially accepted into the Boston Marathon in 1972. Her leadership also paved the way for the International Olympic Committee to admit the women’s marathon into the 1984 Olympic Games. Her number 261 on that historic day in Boston has also become a symbol of fearlessness for millions of women worldwide. 4. What did Kathrine hope to achieve in the 71st Boston Marathon? A. Being a registered runner. B. Proving women’s athletic ability. C. Instructing her friend as a coach. D. Providing service as a volunteer. 5. Why did Jock Semple chase Kathrine? A. To follow her pace. B. To defeat her in the race. C. To force her to give up the race. D. To remind her of the rules. 6. What is mainly discussed about Kathrine in the last paragraph? A. Her leadership. B. Her ambition. C. Her popularity. D. Her contribution. 7. Which of the following best describe Kathrine according to the passage? A. Caring and creative. B. Fearless and patient. C. Emotional and kind. D. Brave and pioneering. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了凯瑟琳·斯威策在1967年波士顿马拉松中打破性别壁垒，成为首位注册参赛的女性选手，最终推动女性正式进入该赛事及奥运会马拉松项目的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Kathrine was the first and only registered female runner in the marathon and she had something to prove. (凯瑟琳是这场马拉松中首位且唯一注册的女性选手，她有东西要证明。)”以及第四段中的“If I quit, nobody would ever believe that women had the capability to run 26-plus miles. (如果我退出，没人会相信女性有能力跑完26英里以上的距离。)”可知，凯瑟琳参加第71届波士顿马拉松的目的是证明女性的运动能力。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Get the hell out of my race and give me those numbers!” Jock yelled. As he said this, he grabbed Kathrine and tried ripping her race numbers off her sweatshirt. (“该死的，退出我的比赛，把号码布给我！”乔克大喊道。说着，他抓住凯瑟琳，试图撕下她运动衫上的号码布。)”可知，乔克·森普尔追逐凯瑟琳是为了强迫她退出比赛。故选C项。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“She was a primary force behind getting women officially accepted into the Boston Marathon in 1972. Her leadership also paved the way for the International Olympic Committee to admit the women’s marathon into the 1984 Olympic Games. Her number 261 on that historic day in Boston has also become a symbol of fearlessness for millions of women worldwide. (她是1972年女性正式获准参加波士顿马拉松的主要推动者。她的领导力也为国际奥委会将女子马拉松纳入1984年奥运会铺平了道路。她在波士顿那个历史性日子里的261号号码布，也成为了全球数百万女性无畏精神的象征。)”可知，该段主要讲述了凯瑟琳的贡献——推动女性在马拉松赛事中的地位提升。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“As Jock clung to her sweatshirt, Kathrine struggled to break free. (当乔克紧紧抓住她的运动衫时，凯瑟琳奋力挣脱。)”、第五段中的“Kathrine completed the race in a time of 4 hours and 20 minutes. (凯瑟琳以4小时20分钟的成绩完成了比赛。)”以及最后一段中的“She was a primary force behind getting women officially accepted into the Boston Marathon in 1972. Her leadership also paved the way for the International Olympic Committee to admit the women’s marathon into the 1984 Olympic Games. (她是1972年女性正式获准参加波士顿马拉松的主要推动者。她的领导力也为国际奥委会将女子马拉松纳入1984年奥运会铺平了道路。)”可知，凯瑟琳面对赛事总监的阻挠仍坚持跑完比赛，体现了“勇敢”，她打破性别壁垒，推动女性获得参赛资格，体现了“开拓性”。故选D项。 C In 1999, a Japanese artist Shigetaka Kurita created his first set of emojis to be used on an emoji keyboard to deliver information in a simple way or provide context to text messages. This was a huge hit because these images helped bridge the gap between written and spoken communication. Little could he have known that the symbols he designed would become so popular that they’ve gone far beyond phones into apps, toys and more. So, could emojis become a global language? To some degree, they already are, but could they truly become a language for all human beings? Could they replace writing itself and we all just go with emojis? As emojis are images, their meanings can get across more easily to people from different cultures. They’ve been used in every country. They are becoming more nuanced (微妙的) and taking on varied meanings. They can be connected to create sentences as well, much like words. However, emojis are unlikely to become a global language. Emojis don’t have the depth and width of a written language. There is no grammar either, which allows for complex sentences in languages. It is also much harder to express abstract (抽象的) ideas through images alone, such as philosophy and cultural differences. Could emojis replace writing? That, too, is unlikely, Human thought is complex, often abstract and highly nuanced. Many fields such as law, science and technology require professional expressions that emojis can’t provide. Nor can emojis replace poetry and literature, important factors of human cultures and societies. While emojis may not become a global language or take the place of writing, it doesn’t make them any less important to humans. They can cross cultures and provide a way to show the beauty of common human values and feelings, as they already have. We all understand a smiley face and a heart or a broken heart. 8. Why were emojis first created? A. To make emoji keyboard a hit. B. To design popular images. C. To aid communication in texts. D. To apply them to apps and toys. 9. What is an advantage of emojis? A. They can express abstract ideas. B. They can take the place of writing. C. They can form complex sentences. D. They can be understood across cultures. 10. Why does the writer refer to law and science? A. To explain the weakness of emojis. B. To contrast with poetry and literature. C. To show professional usage of emojis. D. To stress human cultures and societies. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Rise of Emojis B. The Limits of Emojis C. Emojis: Popular Symbols? D. Emojis: A Global Language? 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了表情符号（emoji）的普及、局限性和重要性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段中“In 1999, a Japanese artist Shigetaka Kurita created his first set of emojis to be used on an emoji keyboard to deliver information in a simple way or provide context to text messages. (1999年，日本艺术家Shigetaka Kurita创作了他的第一套表情符号，这些表情符号被用于表情符号键盘上，以简单的方式传递信息或为文本消息提供上下文。)”可知，表情符号最初是为了辅助文本中的交流而创造的。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“As emojis are images, their meanings can get across more easily to people from different cultures. (由于表情符号是图像，因此它们的意思更容易被来自不同文化的人理解。)”可知，表情符号的一个优点是它们可以跨越文化被理解。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段中“Could emojis replace writing? That, too, is unlikely, Human thought is complex, often abstract and highly nuanced. Many fields such as law, science and technology require professional expressions that emojis can’t provide. Nor can emojis replace poetry and literature, important factors of human cultures and societies. (表情符号能取代文字吗？这也不太可能。人类的思想是复杂的，往往是抽象的，而且高度微妙。法律、科学和技术等许多领域都需要专业的表达方式，而表情符号无法提供。表情符号也无法取代诗歌和文学，这些都是人类文化和社会的重要因素。)”可知，作者提到法律和科学是为了解释表情符号的局限性，即它们无法提供某些专业领域的表达。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第二段“So, could emojis become a global language? To some degree, they already are, but could they truly become a language for all human beings? Could they replace writing itself and we all just go with emojis? (那么，表情符号能否成为一种全球语言呢？在某种程度上，它们已经算是了，但它们真的能成为一种全人类通用的语言吗？它们能否取代文字，让我们只靠表情符号交流呢？)”可知，文章主要探讨了表情符号是否能成为一种全球语言或替代写作的问题，通过分析表情符号的优点和局限性，得出结论：虽然表情符号可能不会成为全球语言或替代写作，但它们对人类仍然很重要。因此，最适合作为文章标题的是“Emojis: A Global Language? (表情符号：一种全球语言吗？)”。故选D。 D In 2023, the world’s oceans had the strongest and longest marine (海洋的) heatwaves ever recorded. Some of these heatwaves lasted over 500 days and affected almost every part of the ocean. These events damaged coral reefs, killed many fish, and hurt the fishing industry around the world. Marine heatwaves (MHWs) happen when ocean temperatures stay much higher than normal for a long time. They can lead to coral dying, loss of sea life, and harm to fishing. Scientists say climate change, caused by human activities, is making these heatwaves more frequent and stronger. In 2023, strong heatwaves hit the North Atlantic, the North and South Pacific, and the tropical Pacific. A new study led by scientist Tianyun Dong used satellite data and computer models to find out why these heatwaves were so extreme. The research showed that the 2023 MHWs broke all previous records in terms of strength, length, and size. They lasted four times longer than usual and affected most of the world’s ocean areas. About 90% of the unusual heating happened in the North Atlantic, Tropical Eastern Pacific, North Pacific, and Southwest Pacific. One major event was in the North Atlantic, starting in mid-2022 and lasting 525 days. In the Southwest Pacific, the heatwave was the largest and longest ever recorded. In the Tropical Eastern Pacific, ocean temperatures rose by up to 1.63℃ when E1 Nino began. Using a special method called heat budget analysis, scientists found several causes. These included more sunlight due to fewer clouds, weaker winds, and changes in ocean currents (洋流). Experts warn that these changes may be an early sign of a climate precipice, where the Earth’s systems may begin to change in dangerous and lasting ways. 12. What damage did the 2023 marine heatwaves cause? A. Fish kill events. B. Stronger winds. C. More cloud cover. D. Faster ocean currents. 13. Which region saw the longest MHWs in 2023? A. North Pacific. B. North Atlantic. C. Southwest Pacific. D. Tropical Eastern Pacific. 14. What did heat budget analysis mainly show? A. Cloud cover had little effect. B. Extra heat mainly came from El Nino. C. Human activities directly heated oceans. D. There were several reasons behind the 2023 MHWs. 15. What does the underlined word “precipice” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. A peaceful situation. B. A slow natural process. C. A dangerous turning point. D. A sudden drop in temperature. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，讲述了2023年全球海洋经历了前所未有的强烈且持久的热浪，导致珊瑚白化、海洋生物死亡及渔业危机，气候变化与多种自然因素共同促成这一现象。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“These events damaged coral reefs, killed many fish, and hurt the fishing industry around the world.(这些事件损害了珊瑚礁，导致大量鱼类死亡，并对全球的渔业造成了严重的影响)”可知，2023年的海洋热浪导致了大量鱼类死亡。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“One major event was in the North Atlantic, starting in mid-2022 and lasting 525 days. In the Southwest Pacific, the heatwave was the largest and longest ever recorded.(其中一项重大事件发生在北大西洋，始于2022年年中，持续了525天。在西南太平洋，此次热浪是有记录以来规模最大、持续时间最长的一次)”可知，持续时间最长的热浪发生在西南太平洋。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Using a special method called heat budget analysis, scientists found several causes. These included more sunlight due to fewer clouds, weaker winds, and changes in ocean currents (洋流).(通过一种名为“热收支分析”的特殊方法，科学家们发现了几个原因。这些原因包括：由于云层减少导致的更多阳光照射、风力减弱以及洋流的变化)”可知，热收支分析表明，这些事件是由多个因素共同导致，因此，造成热浪的不是单一原因，而是多个因素叠加。故选D。 【15题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“where the Earth’s systems may begin to change in dangerous and lasting ways(在那里，地球的各种系统可能会开始以危险且持久的方式发生改变)”可知，precipice在语境中表示气候系统面临不可逆转的危险转折点。故选C。 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。 You may look nice or just fine; however, you will never be happy with your looks if you don’t feel good about them. Here is how you can feel better about yourself and the way you look. Know what is attractiveness We are told from a young age what is attractive and what isn’t. ____16____. Then we feel bad about our looks. So this needs to change. It isn’t possible to change society’s ideas on beauty, but it is possible to change your own ideas. Who do you respect in real life? ____17____. It’s not just about looks Your overall confidence does not need to depend on the way you look. You should care about your inner quality too. Those qualities include your abilities and what you are good at, your personality, how you look at the world, and the relationships you have within it. ____18____. Remember to smile Smiling always makes people look more attractive. This might seem like an easy thing to do, but for some people their “resting” faces always look sad, even they really aren’t. ____19____. People are attracted to those who smile, and doing so can also lift your spirits. Have less stress The more stressed out you are, the more it will show on your face. This can make you look less attractive. ____20____. These happy thoughts can change the way you look as well as the way you feel. A. Looking bad is nothing unusual. B. Just keep things the way they are. C. So try to relax and think about pleasant things. D. We usually don’t meet these standards of beauty. E.

These things will last over time while good looks will disappear slowly. 【答案】16. D 17. F 18. G 19. E 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是让自己对自己和自己的外表感觉更好的方法。 【16题详解】 根据空前的“We are told from a young age what is attractive and what isn’t.(我们从很小的时候就被告知什么是有吸引力的，什么不是有吸引力的。)”可知，我们从小就知道有吸引力的标准是什么，根据空后的“Then we feel bad about our looks.(然后我们对自己的外表感到不好。)”可知，我们对自己的外表不满意，根据then可知，空后内容承接前面的内容，由此可知，此空处应是分析我们对外表不满意的原因，D选项“We usually don’t meet these standards of beauty.(我们通常达不到这些审美标准。)”讲述的内容中的these standards衔接空前内容，且与空后的内容衔接。故选D项。 【17题详解】 根据空前的“Who do you respect in real life?(在现实生活中你尊敬谁？)”可知，此处提出现实生活中尊重的人是谁，F选项“They are the beautiful ones, not the people in photoshopped pictures.(他们是漂亮的人，不是PS过的人。)”可知，此处对空前的内容做出回答，“in real life”与“in photoshopped pictures”相对应。故选F项。 【18题详解】 根据空前的“Those qualities include your abilities and what you are good at, your personality, how you look at the world, and the relationships you have within it.(这些品质包括你的能力和你擅长的东西，你的个性，你如何看待这个世界，以及你与这个世界的关系。)”可知，此处介绍了一些与你相关的品质，G选项“These things will last over time while good looks will disappear slowly.(这些东西会持续一段时间，而美貌会慢慢消失。)”讲述的“these things”与空前的“Those qualities”内容一致，且与本段的主题句“It’s not just about looks(这不只是外表的问题)”讲述的内容一致，一些良好的品质会持续一段时间，而美貌则会消失，所以，这不只是外表的问题。故选G项。 【19题详解】 根据本段的主题句“Remember to smile(记住要微笑)”可知，本段建议要微笑，E选项“So it will take practice to make sure you smile as much as possible.(所以，要确保你尽可能多地微笑需要练习。)”讲述的内容与本段的主题吻合，其与空前的“This might seem like an easy thing to do, but for some people their “resting” faces always look sad, even they really aren’t.(这似乎是一件容易的事，但对一些人来说，他们“休息”的脸总是看起来很悲伤，即使他们真的不是。)”讲述的内容为因果关系，符合逻辑。故选E项。 【20题详解】 根据下文中的“These happy thoughts can change the way you look as well as the way you feel.(这些快乐的想法可以改变你的样子和你的感觉。)”可知，快乐的想法能改变现在的样子和感觉，these happy thoughts应指的是此空中的内容，C选项“So try to relax and think about pleasant things.(所以试着放松，想想愉快的事情。)”讲述的是建议多想一些愉快的事情，与空后的these happy thoughts指代的内容一致。故选C项。 第三部分 语言运用 (共四节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，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。 Last summer, I was suffering from too much stress, I’d just graduated from a challenging doctoral program and was ____21____ from the years of research, study and writing.

There is an element of surprise as the food comes in a lucky “magic bag”, each costing a third of the sale price. Olio Founded in 2015, Olio claims to be the world’s biggest food-sharing network. It connects neighbors with each other so that surplus food is given, not thrown away. Olio users just take a picture of their items and add them to the listings. Neighbors receive customized messages and can request anything they fancy, with pick-up arranged through private messaging. Kitche Kitche handled food waste in the home by helping users to keep track of what they have bought and plan meals accordingly. Users scan receipts or upload online receipts stored on their phones. The app will then tap into its recipe bank to plan meals based on the food you have, reminding you of items nearing use-by dates. NoWaste NoWaste allows users to keep track of the food in their fridge and freezer, also by scanning shopping receipts. You can set the use-by dates for all your food, receive messages when they are close to the last date, and record shopping lists and meal plans. 1. Which app enables users to buy food at really low prices? A. Olio. B. Kitche. C. NoWaste. D. Too Good To Go. 2. What can users do through Olio? A Buy unsold food from supermarkets. B. Share surplus food with neighbors. C. Find a “magic bag” of food from cafes. D. Plan meals using available food items. 3. What do Kitche and NoWaste have in common? A. Both can offer users online receipts after their shopping. B. Both can advise users what to buy based on a recipe bank. C. Both can remind users of foods’ use-by dates. D. Both can tell users what food they waste the most. B The 71st annual Boston Marathon was held on April 19, 1967. This day was filled with freezing rain, snow and strong winds. However, for one participant named Kathrine Switzer, the weather conditions were the least of her worries. Kathrine was the first and only registered female runner in the marathon and she had something to prove. The first few miles were a piece of cake for Kathrine. Then around mile four, she realized someone was chasing (追逐) her. She turned around and was startled to see an angry face just inches away. It was the race director (赛事总监), Jock Semple. “Get the hell out of my race and give me those numbers!” Jock yelled. As he said this, he grabbed Kathrine and tried ripping her race numbers off her sweatshirt. Kathrine was so shocked and terrified. As Jock clung to her sweatshirt, Kathrine struggled to break free. Kathrine felt awful. She thought about dropping out, but soon she knew that wasn’t an option. “If I quit, nobody would ever believe that women had the capability to run 26-plus miles. If I quit, everybody would say it was a show. If I quit, it would set women’s sports back, way back, instead of forward...” While all this thinking was going on, Kathrine continued, until she found herself nearing the finish line. Completely soaked and greeted by only a handful of reporters, none of whom cheered, Kathrine completed the race in a time of 4 hours and 20 minutes. The race was over, but her pursuit of change was just beginning. She was a primary force behind getting women officially accepted into the Boston Marathon in 1972. Her leadership also paved the way for the International Olympic Committee to admit the women’s marathon into the 1984 Olympic Games. Her number 261 on that historic day in Boston has also become a symbol of fearlessness for millions of women worldwide. 4. What did Kathrine hope to achieve in the 71st Boston Marathon? A. Being a registered runner. B. Proving women’s athletic ability. C. Instructing her friend as a coach. D. Providing service as a volunteer. 5. Why did Jock Semple chase Kathrine? A. To follow her pace. B. To defeat her in the race. C. To force her to give up the race. D. To remind her of the rules. 6. What is mainly discussed about Kathrine in the last paragraph? A. Her leadership. B. Her ambition. C. Her popularity. D. Her contribution. 7. Which of the following best describe Kathrine according to the passage? A. Caring and creative. B. Fearless and patient. C. Emotional and kind. D. Brave and pioneering. C In 1999, a Japanese artist Shigetaka Kurita created his first set of emojis to be used on an emoji keyboard to deliver information in a simple way or provide context to text messages. This was a huge hit because these images helped bridge the gap between written and spoken communication. Little could he have known that the symbols he designed would become so popular that they’ve gone far beyond phones into apps, toys and more. So, could emojis become a global language? To some degree, they already are, but could they truly become a language for all human beings? Could they replace writing itself and we all just go with emojis? As emojis are images, their meanings can get across more easily to people from different cultures. They’ve been used in every country. They are becoming more nuanced (微妙的) and taking on varied meanings. They can be connected to create sentences as well, much like words. However, emojis are unlikely to become a global language. Emojis don’t have the depth and width of a written language. There is no grammar either, which allows for complex sentences in languages. It is also much harder to express abstract (抽象的) ideas through images alone, such as philosophy and cultural differences. Could emojis replace writing? That, too, is unlikely, Human thought is complex, often abstract and highly nuanced. Many fields such as law, science and technology require professional expressions that emojis can’t provide. Nor can emojis replace poetry and literature, important factors of human cultures and societies. While emojis may not become a global language or take the place of writing, it doesn’t make them any less important to humans. They can cross cultures and provide a way to show the beauty of common human values and feelings, as they already have. We all understand a smiley face and a heart or a broken heart. 8. Why were emojis first created? A. To make emoji keyboard a hit. B. To design popular images. C. To aid communication in texts. D. To apply them to apps and toys. 9. What is an advantage of emojis? A. They can express abstract ideas. B. They can take the place of writing. C. They can form complex sentences. D. They can be understood across cultures. 10.

D In 2023, the world’s oceans had the strongest and longest marine (海洋的) heatwaves ever recorded. Some of these heatwaves lasted over 500 days and affected almost every part of the ocean. These events damaged coral reefs, killed many fish, and hurt the fishing industry around the world. Marine heatwaves (MHWs) happen when ocean temperatures stay much higher than normal for a long time. They can lead to coral dying, loss of sea life, and harm to fishing. Scientists say climate change, caused by human activities, is making these heatwaves more frequent and stronger. In 2023, strong heatwaves hit the North Atlantic, the North and South Pacific, and the tropical Pacific. A new study led by scientist Tianyun Dong used satellite data and computer models to find out why these heatwaves were so extreme. The research showed that the 2023 MHWs broke all previous records in terms of strength, length, and size. They lasted four times longer than usual and affected most of the world’s ocean areas. About 90% of the unusual heating happened in the North Atlantic, Tropical Eastern Pacific, North Pacific, and Southwest Pacific. One major event was in the North Atlantic, starting in mid-2022 and lasting 525 days. In the Southwest Pacific, the heatwave was the largest and longest ever recorded. In the Tropical Eastern Pacific, ocean temperatures rose by up to 1.63℃ when E1 Nino began. Using a special method called heat budget analysis, scientists found several causes. These included more sunlight due to fewer clouds, weaker winds, and changes in ocean currents (洋流). Experts warn that these changes may be an early sign of a climate precipice, where the Earth’s systems may begin to change in dangerous and lasting ways. 12. What damage did the 2023 marine heatwaves cause? A. Fish kill events. B. Stronger winds. C. More cloud cover. D. Faster ocean currents. 13. Which region saw the longest MHWs in 2023? A. North Pacific. B. North Atlantic. C. Southwest Pacific. D. Tropical Eastern Pacific. 14. What did heat budget analysis mainly show? A. Cloud cover had little effect. B. Extra heat mainly came from El Nino. C. Human activities directly heated oceans. D. There were several reasons behind the 2023 MHWs. 15. What does the underlined word “precipice” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. A peaceful situation. B. A slow natural process. C. A dangerous turning point. D. A sudden drop in temperature. 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。 You may look nice or just fine; however, you will never be happy with your looks if you don’t feel good about them.
