D 细节理解题。根据四条线路中的Walk Duration部分的信息可以得知,四条线路的徒步时长分别为6小时、5小时、3小时和1.5小时。故Photographic Walk in Kilbrannish Forest用时最短。故选D项。
22.What are participants in Walk 3 required to do?
A.Wear proper clothes.
B.Join a walking club.
C.Get special permits.
D.Bring a survival guide.
A 细节理解题。根据Walk 3—Moonlight Under the Stars中的“A torch(手电筒)along with suitable clothing is essential for walking in the dark.Those who are dressed inappropriately will be refused permission to participate.”可知,穿着不当的人将被拒绝参加该活动,即参加Walk 3的徒步者需要穿着合适的衣服。故选A项。

A.They involve difficult climbing.
B.They are for experienced walkers.
C.They share the same start point.
D.They are scheduled for the weekend.

Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read? Yes,we all have our phones,but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed.
Well,there's a kiosk (小亭) for that.In the San Francisco Bay Area,at least.
“You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you'll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a oneminute,a threeminute,or a fiveminute story,” says Alicia Trost,the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit(交通)—known as BART.“You choose which length you want and it gives you a receiptlike short story.”
It's that simple.Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March.Some are classic short stories,and some are new original works.
Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders.“We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says.“And as of right now,we've received about 120 submissions.The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.”
Ridership on transit systems across the country has been down the past half century,so could short stories save transit?
Trost thinks so.
“At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience.So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says.
And you'll never be without something to read.
语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了旧金山湾区捷运系统的首席通讯官艾丽西亚·特罗斯特根据车站乘客的需求启动阅读亭项目,以便改善乘客的体验。
24.Why did BART start the kiosk program?
A.To promote the local culture.
B.To discourage phone use.
C.To meet passengers' needs.
D.To reduce its running costs.
C 推理判断题。题干中的kiosk在第二段“there's a kiosk(小亭)for that”中首次出现,句中的that指代文章第一段中的“but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed”,即很多人仍然喜欢选择传统方式,读一些印刷的东西。所以为了满足乘客需求,BART启动了阅读亭项目,故选C。
25.How are the stories categorized in the kiosk?
A.By popularity. B.By length.
C.By theme. D.By language.
B 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“it tells you can get a oneminute,a threeminute,or a fiveminute story”和“You choose which length you want”可知,你可以根据自己想要的长度选择1分钟、3分钟或者5分钟阅读时长的故事,即阅读亭里的故事是按长度分类的,故选B。
26.What has Trost been doing recently?
A.Organizing a story contest.
B.Doing a survey of customers.
C.Choosing a print publisher.
D.Conducting interviews with artists.
A 细节理解题。根据文章第五段中的“we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest”和“as of right now,we've received about 120 submissions”可知,特罗斯特号召艺术家们提交故事参加比赛,并且目前为止收到了大约120份参赛作品,所以她是在组织故事比赛,故选A。
27.What is Trost's opinion about BART's future?
A.It will close down.
B.Its profits will decline.
C.It will expand nationwide.
D.Its ridership will increase.
D 推理判断题。根据第七段内容“Trost thinks so”和第八段中的“So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories”可知,特罗斯特完全相信他们会因为短故事收获更多乘客,故选D。
C
We all know fresh is best when it comes to food.However,most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table.While farmer's markets are a solid choice to reduce the journey,Babylon MicroFarm (BMF)shortens it even more.
BMF is an indoor garden system.It can be set up for a family.Additionally,it could serve a larger audience such as a hospital,restaurant or school.The innovative design requires little effort to achieve a reliable weekly supply of fresh greens.
Specifically,it's a farm that relies on new technology.By connecting through the Cloud,BMF is remotely monitored.Also,there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time.Because the system is automated,it significantly reduces the amount of water needed to grow plants.Rather than watering rows of soil,the system provides just the right amount to each plant.After harvest,users simply replace the plants with a new preseeded pod (容器) to get the next growth cycle started.
Moreover,having a system in the same building where it's eaten means zero emissions (排放) from transporting plants from soil to salad.In addition,there's no need for pesticides and other chemicals that pollute traditional farms and the surrounding environment.
BMF employees live out sustainability in their everyday lives.About half of them walk or bike to work.Inside the office,they encourage recycling and waste reduction by limiting garbage cans and avoiding singleuse plastic.“We are passionate about reducing waste,carbon and chemicals in our environment,” said a BMF employee.

A.It guarantees the variety of food.
B.It requires daytoday care.
C.It cuts the farmtotable distance.
D.It relies on farmer's markets.
C 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“However,most produce at the store went through weeks of travel and covered hundreds of miles before reaching the table.”和“Babylon MicroFarm(BMF) shortens it even more”可知,大部分商店的农产品要经历几周的运输并跨越很长距离才能到达人们的餐桌。BMF公司大大缩短了这一过程。末句中的“it”指代前文的“journey”,并和选项C中的“distance”构成同义词替换,故选C项。
29.What information does the convenient app offer?
A.Realtime weather changes.
B.Current condition of the plants.
C.Chemical pollutants in the soil.
D.Availability of preseeded pods.
B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“there is a convenient app that provides growing data in real time”可知,有一个便捷的应用程序实时提供(植物的)生长数据,这和B项的意思契合。
30.What can be concluded about BMF employees?
A.They have a great passion for sports.
B.They are devoted to community service.
C.They are fond of sharing daily experiences.
D.They have a strong environmental awareness.
D 推理判断题。根据文章末段中对BMF公司员工的生活和工作情况的描述以及BMF员工的自述“We are passionate about reducing waste,carbon and chemicals in our enironment”可知,BMF员工们在日常生活中践行可持续发展,大约半数的员工走路或骑自行车上班。在办公室里,他们通过限制垃圾桶数量及避免使用一次性塑料的方式鼓励回收利用及减少废物。他们都热衷于减少环境中的废物、碳和化学物质。据此可以推断:BMF公司的员工有着强烈的环保意识,故选D项。
31.What does the text mainly talk about?
A.BMF's major strengths.
B.BMF's general management.
C.BMF's global influence.
D.BMF's technical standards.
A 文章大意题。文章首段介绍BMF公司缩短了食物到餐桌的运输过程,接着第二至四段介绍了BMF的创新设计系统及其优势,最后一段介绍了BMF员工在生活和工作中践行可持续发展。综上所述,文章从各个方面凸显了BMF的优势。

Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives,we all need to take action to deal with our AIpowered future,and this is where AI by Design:A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in.This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution (变革).
In_the_wrong_hands,such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code(代码) that powers AI but,thankfully,Campbell has more than two decades' professional experience translating the heady into the understandable.She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic,making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which,by the close,will make you feel almost as smart as AI.
As we soon come to learn from AI by Design,AI is already supersmart and will become more capable,moving from the current generation of “narrowAI” to Artificial General Intelligence.From there,Campbell says,will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence.This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now—several decades before these developments are expected to take place.She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence,or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse.
Campbell's point is to wake up those responsible for AI—the technology companies and world leaders—so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it.She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinctionlevel event for humanity.We need to consider how we want our future with AI to pan out.Such structured thinking,followed by global regulation,will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall.
AI will affect us all,and if you only read one book on the subject,this is it.
语篇解读 本文是一篇书评。文章主要介绍了英国人工智能专家卡特里奥娜·坎贝尔2022年度畅销书AI by Design:A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence。书中探讨了当前人工智能的发展趋势和即将到来的人工智能革命,呼吁技术公司和世界领袖应与人工智能专家们达成共识、携手共进、共同面对。
32.What does the phrase “In the wrong hands”in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.If read by someone poorly educated.
B.If reviewed by someone illintentioned.
C.If written by someone less competent.
D.If translated by someone unacademic.
C 词义猜测题。根据画线部分后面的“but,thankfully,Campbell has more than two decades' professional experience translating the heady into the understandable”可知,坎贝尔有二十多年的专业经验,她能将令人头晕的东西转化为容易理解的东西。由此可知,画线的“In the wrong hands”指的应该是如果换一个能力不如坎贝尔的人来写这本书,故C项正确。
33.What is a feature of AI by Design according to the text?
A.It is packed with complex codes.
B.It adopts a downtoearth writing style.
C.It provides stepbystep instructions.
D.It is intended for AI professionals.
B 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“She writes from the practical angle of a business person...a guide which is highly accessible and informative”可知,她从一个商人的实际角度来写作,使得这本书成为非常易懂且信息丰富的指南。由此可知,这本书的写作风格非常务实,故选B。
34.What does Campbell urge people to do regarding AI development?
A.Observe existing regulations on it.
B.Reconsider expert opinions about it.
C.Make joint efforts to keep it under control.
D.Learn from prior experience to slow it down.
C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence”和第四段中的“Campbell's point is to wake up those responsible for AI—the technology companies and world leaders—so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it.”可知,坎贝尔建议让人工智能的发展处于控制下,并呼吁技术公司、世界领袖和人工智能专家携手应对,故C项正确。
35.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To recommend a book on AI.
B.To give a brief account of AI history.
C.To clarify the definition of AI.
D.To honor an outstanding AI expert.
A 写作目的题。根据最后一段“AI will affect us all,and if you only read one book on the subject,this is it.”并结合全文可知,本文主要给读者推荐了卡特里奥娜·坎贝尔的书AI by Design:A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence,故A项正确。
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。
Overtourism Is For Real:How Can You Help?
Travel promotes understanding,expands our minds,makes us better people,and boosts local economies and communities,but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations.__36__ Certainly not.The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today's world.Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.
●Choose mindfully.Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason:they're special.With so many online posts featuring the same places,it's easy to feel like you're missing out.Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you.__37__
●Get creative.The best way to ease pressure on overtouristed destinations is to go somewhere else.Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world,it's actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots.That means you have tons of lessvisited options to choose from.__38__ Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination's lesserknown sights?
●__39__ Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour.You'll compete with fewer tourists,save money,experience a different side of a popular place,and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower.
Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege (荣幸).Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place.__40__You may be amazed how much closer you'll feel to the people there.
A.Visit during offpeak times.
B.So,should we stop traveling?
C.Travel for you and no one else.
D.Can overtourism be avoided then?
E.You can still find relatively undiscovered places.
F.You'll find yourself virtually alone,or close to it.
G.Consider giving back to the communities you're visiting.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了缓解过度旅游的一些具体的方法:谨慎选择、有创造性、避开高峰期等。
36.B 根据空前的“but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations”可知,旅游快速增长导致某些地区和目的地的过度旅游。再根据空后的“Certainly not.The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today's world.”可知,在当今世界,失去旅行提供的东西是无法接受的。由此可推断,空处应该讨论是否停止旅游这项服务。故选B项。
37.C 本段小标题是“谨慎选择”,再根据空前的“With so many online posts...deeply draws you.”可推知,很多人盲目跟风选择旅游地,只有当目的地的景色、文化或食物真正吸引你时才去。空处在结尾处,应该紧扣本段标题和空前内容,点出选择旅行应是为自己而不是为别人。故选C项。
38.E 根据空前的“Though overtourism is described as a problem...That means you have tons of lessvisited options to choose from.”可知,过度旅游只集中在少数非常受欢迎的地方,游客其实还有更多选择的空间。空后的“Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination's lesserknown sights?”鼓励游客去尝试一些地区性或知名度相对较低的景点旅游,以此缓解过度旅游压力。空处应承上启下,涉及游客能选择的其他地方,E项中的“undiscovered places”符合题意。
39.A 根据本段中的“skipping major holidays or rush hour”“boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower”可知,本段建议跳过重大假期或高峰时间旅行。A项“非高峰时间去旅游”精准概括本段大意。
40.G 根据空前的“Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place.”可知,尽自己所能去保护旅游地,再根据空后的“You may be amazed how much closer you'll feel to the people there.”可推断空处应提到如何Do your part,G项“考虑为游览的社区做一些贡献”既解释了上文,又是下文的原因。
第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30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四个选项中选出最佳选项。
When I decided to buy a house in Europe ten years ago,I didn't think too long.I liked traveling in France,but when it came to picking my favorite spot to __41__,Italy was the clear winner.
During my first visit to Italy,I __42__ to ask for directions or order in a restaurant.But every time I tried to __43__ a sentence of Italian together,the locals smiled at me and __44__ my language skills.That encouragement helped me to get through the language __45__.After I made Italy my permanent home,I discovered how __46__ Italians are.Neighbors will bring me freshly made cheese and will come to my door to __47__ me to close the window in my car when rain is coming.It's these small __48__ of kindness that make a new country feel like home.
As a foodie,the way to my heart is through my stomach,and nowhere fuels my __49__ quite like Italy.Each town has its own traditional __50__,and every family keeps a recipe passed from one generation to another.Families __51__ for big meals on Sundays,birthdays,and whatever other excuses they can __52__.These meals are always __53__ by laughter and joy.Whatever __54__ life in Italy might have,the problems are __55__ once you sit down to a big meal with friends and family.

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Chinese cultural elements commemorating(纪念)Tang Xianzu,56.________ is known as “the Shakespeare of Asia”,add an international character to StratforduponAvon,William Shakespeare's hometown.
Tang and Shakespeare were contemporaries and both died in 1616.Although they could never have met,there are common 57.________(theme) in their works,said Paul Edmondson,head of research for the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust.“Some of the things that Tang was writing about 58.________(be)also Shakespeare's concerns.I happen to know that Tang's play The Peony Pavilion (《牡丹亭》) is similar in some ways 59.________Romeo and Juliet.”
A statue commemorating Shakespeare and Tang was put up at Shakespeare's Birthplace Garden in 2017.Two years later,a sixmetertall pavilion,60.________(inspire) by The Peony Pavilion,61.________ (build)at the Firs Garden,just ten minutes' walk from Shakespeare's birthplace.
Those cultural elements have increased Stratford's international 62.________(visible), said Edmondson,adding that visitors walking through the Birthplace Garden were often amazed 63.________ (find) the connection between the two great writers.
64.________ (recall) watching a Chinese opera version of Shakespeare's play Richard Ⅲ in Shanghai and meeting Chinese actors who came to Stratford a few years ago to perform parts of The Peony Pavilion,Edmondson said,“It was very exciting to hear the Chinese language 65.________see how Tang's play was being performed.”
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。为纪念素有“东方莎士比亚”之称的汤显祖,一座凉亭在莎士比亚的故乡建立,此举提高了莎士比亚故乡的国际知名度。来此地的游客惊奇地发现东西方的这两位伟大作家的作品有一些共性。
56.答案:who
解析:考查定语从句。先行词是Tang Xianzu,从句中缺少主语,且空前有逗号,故应用who引导非限制性定语从句。
57.答案:themes
解析:考查名词的单复数。根据“there are”可知,此处应用名词复数themes。
58.答案:were
解析:考查动词的时态和主谓一致。主语是Some of the things,且此处描述过去的事,故填were。
59.答案:to
解析:考查介词。be similar to是固定短语,意为“与……相似”。
60.答案:inspired
解析:考查非谓语动词。根据句意并分析句子结构可知,此空应用非谓语动词;inspire与a sixmetertall pavilion之间为动宾关系,应用过去分词作定语,故填inspired。
61.答案:was built
解析:考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。空处在句中作谓语,主语是a sixmetertall pavilion,为单数形式,且与build之间是被动关系,此处描述过去的事,应用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was built。
62.答案:visibility
解析:考查词性转换。international是形容词,应修饰名词。visible的名词形式为visibility,表示“知名度”。
63.答案:to find
解析:考查非谓语动词。be amazed to do sth是固定搭配,意为“对做某事感到惊讶”。
64.答案:Recalling
解析:考查非谓语动词。此句已有谓语动词said,recall与主语Edmondson之间是主谓关系,应用动词ing形式作状语,且位于句首,首字母大写,故填Recalling。
65.答案:and
解析:考查连词。hear the Chinese language和see how Tang's play was being performed是并列关系,故此处应用and连接两个不定式短语,and后承前省略不定式符号to。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
I met Gunter on a cold,wet and unforgettable evening in September.I had planned to fly to Vienna and take a bus to Prague for a conference.Due to a big storm,my flight had been delayed by an hour and a half.I touched down in Vienna just 30 minutes before the departure of the last bus to Prague.The moment I got off the plane,I ran like crazy through the airport building and jumped into the first taxi on the rank without a second thought.
That was when I met Gunter.I told him where I was going,but he said he hadn't heard of the bus station.I thought my pronunciation was the problem,so I explained again more slowly,but he still looked confused.When I was about to give up,Gunter fished out his little phone and rang up a friend.After a heated discussion that lasted for what seemed like a century,Gunter put his phone down and started the car.
Finally,with just two minutes to spare we rolled into the bus station.Thankfully,there was a long queue (队列) still waiting to board the bus.Gunter parked the taxi behind the bus,turned around,and looked at me with a big smile on his face.“We made it,” he said.
Just then I realised that I had zero cash in my wallet.I flashed him an apologetic smile as I pulled out my Portuguese bankcard.He tried it several times,but the card machine just did not play along.A feeling of helplessness washed over me as I saw the bus queue thinning out.
At this moment,Gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station.There,at the entrance,was a cash machine.I jumped out of the car,made a mad run for the machine,and popped my card in,only to read the message:“Out of order.Sorry.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news.

I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news.The cash machine was also out of order!In other words,I couldn't pay him now.I felt so depressed and sorry,an embarrassed smile creeping into(逐渐浮现)my face.Then an idea occurred to me.I pointed at my phone and asked him to give his phone number to me so that I could contact him when I came back here.Surprisingly,he comforted me that everything was OK since he had known how anxious I was.After we said goodbye to each other,I rushed to the queue.Fortunately,I didn't miss the whole arrangements for the conference.
Four days later,when I was back in Vienna,I called Gunter as promised.He didn't recognise me immediately when I said hello to him.So I explained my intention.At first,he refused to charge me the fare.But I insisted I owe him the money.Therefore,we made a deal to meet at the bus station.When we met,I extended my gratitude for his trust in me,gave him the fare and tipped(给小费) him another sum of money.Satisfied,he gave me a thumbsup,praised me a lot for my honesty and also thanked me for the tip,but I told him that he deserved it.Till now,every time I recall this experience,I can't help wondering(不禁琢磨) if there is more trust and honesty in the world,how charming our world will be.
