Late in 2020, at a two-hour televised musical competition in Beijing, when Gao's favorite idol(偶像) walked out, she could not afford to get too excited. She had to have her camera ready at all times to capture her idol's moment on stage: any distraction could ruin that one perfect shot. Then Gao began editing photos on the spot to perfect his images and quickly uploaded them to the platform Weibo.
There are lots of accounts like Gao's on social media, which aim to boost a certain star's influence and popularity through shares and comments. Such accounts are referred to as “image stations”, and the people who run them, like Gao, are called “station sisters”.
Gao was born into a wealthy family and attended university in Shanghai. Gao said to reporters that she was just a “regular” fan at first. “When I witnessed his charming stage presence in 2020 and his determination to make his dreams come true, I was instantly swept away,” Gao recalled. Soon after, she joined a dozen or so online fan groups and began brainstorming strategies to boost her idol's social media relevance. She searched forums and found posts by several station sisters in which they recounted their experiences. She decided to join their ranks.
Gao started by purchasing a Canon 5D4 SLR camera and a 100-400mm long-focus lens, spending over 30,000 yuan. After quickly mastering its basic functions and learning basic photography skills, she set off on her “job”. She spent a large amount of time tracking her idol's flight, photographing him, waiting outside hotels, purchasing products her idol endorsed(宣传), and even following him to another city.
At the time, she had little time to attend her courses. “I had taken many credits at school and was hoping to receive a postgraduate recommendation,” said Gao. Early in 2021, her academic setbacks as well as negative news about the fan industry brought Gao's return to reality. “I couldn’t believe what I had done. I decided it was time to live for myself,” she said. Seeing her idol no longer aroused the admiration it once did. Now, she has turned her past as a celebrity chaser into a new life explorer. She said to a friend, “Isn’t cheering our idols supposed to make us better people? All we need to do then is just rush ahead.”
36. What was Gao's purpose in going to that musical competition in Beijing?
A. To show off on social platforms.
B. To promote her idol’s public influence.
C. To experience the charm of a live show.
D. To get an autographed photo of her idol.
37. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?
A. Gao's experience of becoming a station sister.
B. A brief introduction to Gao's after-school life.
C. A story about Gao's meeting with her idol.
D. Gao's memory of chasing her idol.
38. Which can best describe the life of Gao as a super fan?
A. Cost-effective and worthy. B. Bittersweet and beneficial.
C. Money-consuming and laborious. D. Challenging and enviable.
39. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Gao’s idol fooled all his fans.
B. Gao's university studies ran smoothly.
C. Gao has persuaded many friends to quit their idols.
D. Gao has got herself back on track after going wrong.
40. What does the author intend to tell us in the text?
A. Don't let words of apology make up the most of your vocabulary.
B. Mend your way properly after being off the right path.
C. Striving for perfection makes you a boring person.
D. There is no such thing as a self-made person.
C
Robots in the art world are nothing new. In fact, for centuries, people have built robots as art objects, beginning with automatons (自动机器) — or simple machines that perform a series of movements — in ancient China and Japan. However, what’s different now is that artists and engineers are building robots that actually create art.
In 1973, British-born painter Harold Cohen wrote a computer program and called it AARON. At first, AARON only made simple outlines whose color and details Cohen would later add. Fifty years later, ARRON is able to paint people, landscapes and just about anything else a human could paint. So can AARON be called an artist or creative? In 2010, Cohen addressed these questions. He explained, “Although he wrote the initial computer code that ARRON follows, AARON can generate unlimited numbers of images.” So according to Cohen, the simple answer is yes — AARON is creative.
It’s not just paintings that robots are creating, though. Last year, a robot called Shimon released its first album on Spotify. Shimon began life as a simple robot marimba player. Over the years, however, it’s learned how to jam, with other musicians, write original songs and compose lyrics. Shimon does this by analyzing huge amounts of music — roughly 50,000 rock, jazz and hip-hop songs.
It may be cool to hear a song created by a robot, but is there any other reason to build robots that can play music? According to Gil Weinberg, one of Shimon’s creators, because the robot is capable of doing things that a real musician might not think of, he and his team “hope and believe that these new abilities would push human cooperators to new uncharted directions that could not be achieved in human-to-human cooperation.”
While questions about robots creating art are fun to think about, there are many other ways that robots can help artists in the way they create their works. For example, advancements in 3D-printing technology will allow artists to build more complex pieces for their sculptures.
41. What was AARON able to do at first?
A. Paint people and landscapes.
B. Prepare basic outlines for Cohen.
C. Draw pictures of itself and Cohen.
D. Color paintings under Cohen’s instructions.
42 What might be the biggest challenge of creating songs by a robot?
A. Analyzing huge amounts of music.
B. Composing lyrics.
C. Playing guitar.
D. New abilities to new uncharted directions.
43. What does the article tell us about Shimon?
A. It is both a marimba and guitar player.
B. It has created about 50,000 original songs.
C. It is expected to push humans to achieve more.
D. Its creators hope that it can outperform humans.
44. What does the author’s attitude towards robots that create art?
A. Positive. B. Worried. C. Neutral. D. Doubtful.
45. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. AARON and Shimon: Robots in Art
B. The Evolution of Robotics in the Real World
C. Programmed Creativity: Robots Redefining Art
D. How 3D Printing is Revolutionizing Art

五、阅读表达(共5小题:每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
When Brantley Harrison and her family rescued a tiny, injured squirrel back, then released her back into the wild, they didn’t expect to ever see her again. Nine years later, however, little Bella, they called the squirrel Bella, still comes to visit them almost every day—as long as snacks are provided, of course.
As a baby, the terrible attack made by an owl (猫头鹰) left Bella near death, she was carefully taken in by the Greenville County, South Carolina family, and raised by them alongside three other squirrels named Larry, Curly, and Moe. Bella stayed with the Harrisons until she had healed successfully thanks to a regular diet of fruit, nuts, and baby food, and was ready to jump on the trees in the forest. The sweet squirrel never goes too far from her adopted home, though, and stops by to say hello whenever she can, despite how much time has passed.
“Bella sits right at the front door waiting for someone to notice she has come by for a visit. If no one notices her, she will jump over to the dining room window to wait for someone to see her,” Brantley told The Dodo. The little lady just isn’t ready to part with the family that succored her life. Whenever she stops by, she asks for nothing more than a handful of nuts.
What is the most amazing part? A few years after Bella’s original stay at the Harrison house, she found her way back to them with an injured foot—and a belly full of babies—spending another few months of recovering. “It was truly amazing to watch the baby I raised raise her own babies,” Brantley said. Bella now even has her own Instagram page, where her human family documents her adventures, with almost 4 thousand followers!

1. — A growing number of people are keen to travel around Europe nowadays.
— ______. Domestic destinations are the most popular this summer.
A. You said it B. You got me there C. I beg to differ D. No wonder
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查情景对话。句意:——现在越来越多的人热衷于环游欧洲。——我不敢苟同。今年夏天,国内旅游目的地最受欢迎。A. You said it你说得对;B. You got me there你把我难住了;C. I beg to differ我不敢苟同; D. No wonder难怪。根据后文“今年夏天国内旅游最受欢迎”可知,说话者与前者的观点不一致,因此应选择表示不同意的表达。故选C项。
2. —Where is Peter? I can't find him anywhere.
—He went to the library after breakfast and ________ his essay there ever since.
A. wrote B. had written C. has been writing D. is writing
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查动词的时态。句意:——那彼得?我到处都找不到他。——早饭后他去了图书馆,从那时起他就一直在那儿写论文。结合句意以及时间状语 “ever since” 可知,他吃过早餐去图书馆之后,便一直在那里写论文,表示一个动作从过去某一时刻开始,一直持续到现在,并有可能继续持续下去,因此应该用现在完成进行时,故正确答案为C。
【点睛】时态的考查在高考题的应用中也是无处不在的,时态本身的考查也是千变万化的,本题旨在考查学生对现在完成进行时的理解和用法的熟悉程度,要求结合语境进行分析,根据句子的意思可以判断出当前应该使用哪一种时态,本题中也有一定的暗示时态的标志ever since,从而可以判断出应该用现在完成进行时。
3. Our special thanks go to thousands of volunteers, without ________ tireless work, none of these achievements would be possible.
A. which B. whom C. whose D. that
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:我们特别感谢成千上万的志愿者,没有他们不知疲倦的工作,这些成就都不可能实现。“without ________ tireless work”是定语从句,修饰先行词volunteers,指人,关系词将先行词代入定语从句中作work的定语,表示“志愿者的工作”,应用表示所属关系的关系代词whose引导该定语从句,并在从句中作定语。故选C项。
4. Many Chinese parents are willing to spend money on camp education and study tours for their children, ______ the industry a booming market with great potential.
A. to make B. making C. having made D. made
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:许多中国家长愿意花钱为孩子们举办夏令营和游学活动,这使得该行业成为一个潜力巨大的蓬勃发展的市场。本句已经存在谓语动词且句中没有连词,故make只能做非谓语动词与逻辑主语构成主谓关系,故用现在分词making。故选B。
5. Having experienced all kinds of hardships, he ________ reached his destination.
A. unfortunately B. ultimately C. generally D. purposefully
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查副词词义辨析。句意:经历了各种艰辛,他最终到达了他的目的地。A. unfortunately不幸地;B. ultimately最终;C. generally通常地;D. purposefully故意地。虽然经历了许多艰辛,但他还是最终到达了目的地,所以用ultimately。故选B。

8. How could you ______ such a fantastic job when you have been out of work for months?
A. take off B. break in C. turn down D. lead to
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意:你失业好几个月了,怎么能拒绝这么好的工作呢? A. take off起飞,脱下;B. break in 闯入,打断;C. turn down 拒绝;D. lead to 导致。根据下文“when you have been out of work for months”可知,失业好几个月了,怎么能拒绝这么好的工作呢。故选C。

Late in 2020, at a two-hour televised musical competition in Beijing, when Gao's favorite idol(偶像) walked out, she could not afford to get too excited. She had to have her camera ready at all times to capture her idol's moment on stage: any distraction could ruin that one perfect shot. Then Gao began editing photos on the spot to perfect his images and quickly uploaded them to the platform Weibo.
There are lots of accounts like Gao's on social media, which aim to boost a certain star's influence and popularity through shares and comments. Such accounts are referred to as “image stations”, and the people who run them, like Gao, are called “station sisters”.
Gao was born into a wealthy family and attended university in Shanghai. Gao said to reporters that she was just a “regular” fan at first. “When I witnessed his charming stage presence in 2020 and his determination to make his dreams come true, I was instantly swept away,” Gao recalled. Soon after, she joined a dozen or so online fan groups and began brainstorming strategies to boost her idol's social media relevance. She searched forums and found posts by several station sisters in which they recounted their experiences. She decided to join their ranks.
Gao started by purchasing a Canon 5D4 SLR camera and a 100-400mm long-focus lens, spending over 30,000 yuan. After quickly mastering its basic functions and learning basic photography skills, she set off on her “job”. She spent a large amount of time tracking her idol's flight, photographing him, waiting outside hotels, purchasing products her idol endorsed(宣传), and even following him to another city.
At the time, she had little time to attend her courses. “I had taken many credits at school and was hoping to receive a postgraduate recommendation,” said Gao. Early in 2021, her academic setbacks as well as negative news about the fan industry brought Gao's return to reality. “I couldn’t believe what I had done. I decided it was time to live for myself,” she said. Seeing her idol no longer aroused the admiration it once did. Now, she has turned her past as a celebrity chaser into a new life explorer. She said to a friend, “Isn’t cheering our idols supposed to make us better people? All we need to do then is just rush ahead.”
36. What was Gao's purpose in going to that musical competition in Beijing?
A. To show off on social platforms.
B. To promote her idol’s public influence.
C. To experience the charm of a live show.
D. To get an autographed photo of her idol.
37. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?
A. Gao's experience of becoming a station sister.
B. A brief introduction to Gao's after-school life.
C. A story about Gao's meeting with her idol.
D. Gao's memory of chasing her idol.
38. Which can best describe the life of Gao as a super fan?
A. Cost-effective and worthy. B. Bittersweet and beneficial.
C. Money-consuming and laborious. D. Challenging and enviable.
39. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Gao’s idol fooled all his fans.
B. Gao's university studies ran smoothly.
C. Gao has persuaded many friends to quit their idols.
D. Gao has got herself back on track after going wrong.
40. What does the author intend to tell us in the text?
A. Don't let words of apology make up the most of your vocabulary.
B. Mend your way properly after being off the right path.
C. Striving for perfection makes you a boring person.
D. There is no such thing as a self-made person.

【37题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“When I witnessed his charming stage presence in 2020 and his determination to make his dreams come true, I was instantly swept away,” Gao recalled. Soon after, she joined a dozen or so online fan groups and began brainstorming strategies to boost her idol's social media relevance. She searched forums and found posts by several station sisters in which they recounted their experiences. She decided to join their ranks.(当我看到他2020年的迷人舞台表现,以及他实现梦想的决心时,我立刻被迷住了,” Gao说随后她加入了十多个网络粉丝群,开始想方设法提升自己偶像的社交媒体影响力。她在论坛上搜索,找到了几位站姐发布的帖子她们在帖子中讲述了自己站岗的经历。她决定加入她们的行列)”可知,第三段主要关于Gao成为站姐的经历。故选A项。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Gao started by purchasing a Canon 5D4 SLR camera and a 100-400mm long-focus lens, spending over 30,000 yuan. After quickly mastering its basic functions and learning basic photography skills, she set off on her “job”. She spent a large amount of time tracking her idol's flight, photographing him, waiting outside hotels, purchasing products her idol endorsed(宣传), and even following him to another city.( Gao开始买了一台佳能5D4单反相机和一个100-400mm长焦镜头,花了3万多元。在迅速掌握了它的基本功能,学习了基本的摄影技巧后,她就开始了自己的“工作”。她花了大量的时间追踪偶像的航班,给他拍照,在酒店外等候,购买偶像代言的产品,甚至跟着他去了另一个城市”可知,“耗资巨大且费力” 能描述Gao作为超级粉丝的生活。故选C项。

C
Robots in the art world are nothing new. In fact, for centuries, people have built robots as art objects, beginning with automatons (自动机器) — or simple machines that perform a series of movements — in ancient China and Japan. However, what’s different now is that artists and engineers are building robots that actually create art.
In 1973, British-born painter Harold Cohen wrote a computer program and called it AARON. At first, AARON only made simple outlines whose color and details Cohen would later add. Fifty years later, ARRON is able to paint people, landscapes and just about anything else a human could paint. So can AARON be called an artist or creative? In 2010, Cohen addressed these questions. He explained, “Although he wrote the initial computer code that ARRON follows, AARON can generate unlimited numbers of images.” So according to Cohen, the simple answer is yes — AARON is creative.
It’s not just paintings that robots are creating, though. Last year, a robot called Shimon released its first album on Spotify. Shimon began life as a simple robot marimba player. Over the years, however, it’s learned how to jam, with other musicians, write original songs and compose lyrics. Shimon does this by analyzing huge amounts of music — roughly 50,000 rock, jazz and hip-hop songs.
It may be cool to hear a song created by a robot, but is there any other reason to build robots that can play music? According to Gil Weinberg, one of Shimon’s creators, because the robot is capable of doing things that a real musician might not think of, he and his team “hope and believe that these new abilities would push human cooperators to new uncharted directions that could not be achieved in human-to-human cooperation.”
While questions about robots creating art are fun to think about, there are many other ways that robots can help artists in the way they create their works. For example, advancements in 3D-printing technology will allow artists to build more complex pieces for their sculptures.
41. What was AARON able to do at first?
A. Paint people and landscapes.
B. Prepare basic outlines for Cohen.
C. Draw pictures of itself and Cohen.
D. Color paintings under Cohen’s instructions.
42. What might be the biggest challenge of creating songs by a robot?
A. Analyzing huge amounts of music.
B. Composing lyrics.
C. Playing guitar.
D. New abilities to new uncharted directions.
43. What does the article tell us about Shimon?
A. It is both a marimba and guitar player.
B. It has created about 50,000 original songs.
C. It is expected to push humans to achieve more.
D. Its creators hope that it can outperform humans.
44. What does the author’s attitude towards robots that create art?
A. Positive. B. Worried. C. Neutral. D. Doubtful.
45. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. AARON and Shimon: Robots in Art
B. The Evolution of Robotics in the Real World
C. Programmed Creativity: Robots Redefining Art
D. How 3D Printing is Revolutionizing Art
【答案】41. B 42. A 43. C 44. A 45. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了机器人在艺术世界的广泛应用情况。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In 1973, British-born painter Harold Cohen wrote a computer program and called it AARON. At first, AARON only made simple outlines whose color and details Cohen would later add.(1973年,英国出生的画家哈罗德·科恩编写了一个计算机程序,称之为AARON。起初,AARON只制作一些简单的轮廓线,科恩后来会添加这些轮廓的颜色和细节)”可知,AARON一开始只能画出轮廓线,为Cohen准备轮廓线。故选B。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Shimon began life as a simple robot marimba player. Over the years, however, it’s learned how to jam, with other musicians, write original songs and compose lyrics. Shimon does this by analyzing huge amounts of music — roughly 50,000 rock, jazz and hip-hop songs.(Shimon最初是一名简单的机器人马林巴琴演奏者。然而,多年来,它学会了如何与其他音乐家一起即兴演奏、创作原创歌曲和歌词。Shimon通过分析大量的音乐来做到这一点——大约50000首摇滚、爵士和嘻哈歌曲)”可知,机器人创造歌曲时最大的挑战就是需要分析大量的音乐。故选A。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“According to Gil Weinberg, one of Shimon’s creators, because the robot is capable of doing things that a real musician might not think of, he and his team “hope and believe that these new abilities would push human cooperators to new uncharted directions that could not be achieved in human-to-human cooperation.”(根据Shimon的创造者之一吉尔·温伯格(Gil Weinberg)表示,由于机器人能够做真正的音乐家可能想不到的事情,他和他的团队“希望并相信这些新能力将推动人类合作者走向新的未知方向,这在人与人的合作中是无法实现的。”)”可知,Shimon有望推动人类取得更多成就。故选C。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“However, what’s different now is that artists and engineers are building robots that actually create art.(然而,现在的不同之处在于,艺术家和工程师正在建造真正创造艺术的机器人)”以及第三段“It’s not just paintings that robots are creating, though.(不过,机器人创造的不仅仅是绘画)”可知,作者认为除了绘画之外,机器人还可以创造更多,由此可推知,作者对创造艺术的机器人持积极的态度。故选A。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“However, what’s different now is that artists and engineers are building robots that actually create art.(然而,现在的不同之处在于,艺术家和工程师正在建造真正创造艺术的机器人)”以及文章内容可知,本文主要介绍了机器人在艺术世界的广泛应用情况,所以“程序化创意:机器人重新定义艺术”最适合作为文章标题。故选C。

五、阅读表达(共5小题:每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
When Brantley Harrison and her family rescued a tiny, injured squirrel back, then released her back into the wild, they didn’t expect to ever see her again. Nine years later, however, little Bella, they called the squirrel Bella, still comes to visit them almost every day—as long as snacks are provided, of course.
As a baby, the terrible attack made by an owl (猫头鹰) left Bella near death, she was carefully taken in by the Greenville County, South Carolina family, and raised by them alongside three other squirrels named Larry, Curly, and Moe. Bella stayed with the Harrisons until she had healed successfully thanks to a regular diet of fruit, nuts, and baby food, and was ready to jump on the trees in the forest. The sweet squirrel never goes too far from her adopted home, though, and stops by to say hello whenever she can, despite how much time has passed.
“Bella sits right at the front door waiting for someone to notice she has come by for a visit. If no one notices her, she will jump over to the dining room window to wait for someone to see her,” Brantley told The Dodo. The little lady just isn’t ready to part with the family that succored her life. Whenever she stops by, she asks for nothing more than a handful of nuts.
What is the most amazing part? A few years after Bella’s original stay at the Harrison house, she found her way back to them with an injured foot—and a belly full of babies—spending another few months of recovering. “It was truly amazing to watch the baby I raised raise her own babies,” Brantley said. Bella now even has her own Instagram page, where her human family documents her adventures, with almost 4 thousand followers!

【解析】
【导语】本文为记叙文。本文叙述了人类与动物之间美好而感人的友谊。一只可爱的小松鼠贝拉被布兰特利•哈里森和她的家人救了,伤愈后放归野外,却不愿与救她的家庭分开。9年后,松鼠贝拉仍然几乎每天都来看望他们,哈里森一家还在网上记录了小松鼠的冒险经历。
【46题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段“As a baby, the terrible attack made by an owl (猫头鹰) left Bella near death, she was carefully taken in by the Greenville County, South Carolina family, and raised by them alongside three other squirrels named Larry, Curly, and Moe.(小时候,一只猫头鹰的可怕袭击使贝拉濒临死亡,她被南卡罗来纳州格林维尔县的一户人家精心收养,和另外三只松鼠——拉里、科利和莫伊——一起抚养长大)”可知,小贝拉被猫头鹰弄伤后它(她)被哈里森一家救了。故答案为It/she was saved/rescued by the Harrisons/family.
【47题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段“Bella stayed with the Harrisons until she had healed successfully thanks to a regular diet of fruit, nuts, and baby food, and was ready to jump on the trees in the forest.(贝拉一直和哈里森一家待在一起,直到她通过定期进食水果、坚果和婴儿食品成功康复,并准备在森林里的树上跳来跳去)”可知,哈里森一家用水果、坚果和婴儿食品喂养它/她。故答案为They fed it/her on regular diet of fruit, nuts and baby food. OR: They provided it/her with a regular diet of fruit, nuts and baby food. OR: By giving/offering it/her a regular diet of fruit, nuts and baby food.
【48题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据第一段“2010年10月,布兰特利·哈里森和她的家人救了(rescued)一只受伤的小松鼠,然后把她放归野外。然而,9年后,他们叫小贝拉的松鼠仍然几乎每天都来看望他们。”可知,小松鼠常来看望救她的家庭。因此“The little lady just isn’t ready to part with the family that succored her life.”可知,她还没准备好和救她的家庭分开。由此可判断出“succored”意为“saved/rescued”。
【49题详解】
考查细节理解。根据最后一段“A few years after Bella’s original stay at the Harrison house, she found her way back to them with an injured foot—and a belly full of babies—spending another few months of recovering.(贝拉最初住在哈里森家几年后,她带着一只受伤的脚和一肚子的孩子回到了他们身边,又花了几个月的时间恢复)”可知,一只脚受伤了,怀孕让贝拉在最初的几年后又回到了哈里森家。故答案为An injured foot and a belly full of babies. OR: Its/her injured foot and coming babies. OR: Its/her injured foot and the babies in her belly. OR: That it was pregnant/had babies on the way and injured (in the foot).
【50题详解】
考查开放题。题意“贝拉的故事对你有什么启发?请用你自己的话解释。”贝拉救助了小松鼠,与它和谐相处,因此我将尽我所能保护动物,并与它们和谐相处。故答案为I will do whatever I can to protect animals and live with them in harmony.

【答案】One possible version:
The student union organized a labour practice activity on April 20, aiming to broaden our horizons and bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical experience. This activity not only enhanced our practical skills but also fostered a deeper understanding of society.
The unforgettable experience was a labor-themed activity where we visited a local carpentry workshop. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the skilled carpenters who showed us around the workshop. We observed various woodworking tools and watched as they transformed raw wood into beautiful pieces of furniture. The highlight of the day was when we got to try our hand at basic woodworking tasks under the guidance of the experienced craftsmen. It was challenging yet rewarding to create something with our own hands.
This activity taught me the value of hard work and gave me a newfound respect for laborers.
