(A) On Dec. 26, when Gelinne, 60, was gazing out the back windows of his home in Edgewater, he saw a small aircraft a few hundred yards away, losing altitude. As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former Navy commander and current cybersecurity expert, realized it was going to land in the stream. He flashed on a moment from more than 20 years earlier: Sept. 11, 2001. Gelinne was at work in the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., when terrorists crashed a jumbo jet into the building. He fled the chaos but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and helped. “To the right was the crisis, and to the left was escape. I don’t even know if I could’ve gone right, but I went left,” he recalled. “I always second-guessed myself about that decision.” On this day, Gelinne didn’t hesitate. He ran down to the waterfront. The plane was now sinking. The pilot was standing on the wing. Gelinne knew from his Navy training that even a few minutes in the icy water could kill the pilot. Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it. So he and his son, John Jr., pulled two kayaks (皮划艇) out from under their back deck. The two men set off, pushing their boats across the ice. It was exhausting work. When Gelinne reached the plane, the pilot was standing on a tail wing, submerged up to his chest, surrounded by open water. Gelinne pushed his kayak off the ice and into the water, paddling toward the pilot and thinking, What if he panics? What if I flip? With his son nearby, Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the boat as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the kayak’s bow. Now the two men were floating together, but Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot out of the water and up onto the shelf of unbroken ice behind him before the man lost too much body heat. But each time Gelinne tried to land atop the ice shelf, the kayak broke through. By now a boat from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources appeared, breaking through ice as it arrived. It picked up the pilot and swiftly transported him to safety. Later the boat returned to help Gelinne, now exhausted, to shore. The rescuers had arrived just in time, Gelinne recalled. “I’m 60 years old,” he says. “There was no way I could get him to shore.” Still, he was satisfied he’d gone the right way that day. 36. The author describes Gelinne’s experience on September 11 2001, mainly to ________. A. illustrate the source of his guilt and how it fueled his determination this time B. show his experience in the military made him qualified for rescue operations C. emphasize the psychological trauma of the event had impacted him negatively D. suggest individuals have the moral obligation to assist others in crisis 37. The underlined word “second-guessed” most likely means________ in the context. A. completely forgave B. strongly doubted C. constantly consulted D. passionately defended 38. What were the challenges Gelinne faced in the rescue attempt? ①the sinking plane ②the broken kayaks ③the drowning pilot ④his panicked son ⑤the icy water A ①②③ B. ①③⑤ C. ①④⑤ D. ②③④ 39. Which of the following may serve as the best title for the passage? A. A pilot’s icy survival: a plane crash on frozen creek B. A veteran’s attempt: overcoming past regret with a brave act C. A family’s highlight moment: how united rescue saved a life D. Navy training in action: an emergency rescue operation saves life (B) The card worth paying for THE SHOP It is a membership card that is offered by THE SHOP Shopping Mall.

Businesses, particularly those employing AI algorithms, rely on data more than ever to drive success. However, a challenge that has arisen is ensuring the data used is reliable, objective, and ethically sourced. Concerns are mounting over the use of shady data sources and “black-box” collection methods, where businesses are unsure of how the data was sourced, raising ethical and legal issues. Rachel Aldighieri of the Data and Marketing Association (DMA) stresses that ethical practices in data collection are essential, especially as businesses increasingly use AI to automate decision-making processes. Inappropriate data usage can lead to inaccurate AI models and prejudiced outcomes. Stephen Lester, CTO at Paragon, echoes this sentiment, noting that companies should use open methods to collect data, ensuring participants know how their data is being used and that they receive proper payment. To follow data protection rules, businesses should balance their needs with individuals’ rights. This helps ensure they have the right permissions to use collected data, building customer trust and reducing legal risks. They should also consult resources like the DMA Code for guidance on ethical data practices. However, obtaining reliable data isn’t always straightforward. Open-source datasets are available, but they often lack quality controls and safeguards against bias. Synthetic data, generated by AI, offers an alternative, allowing companies to train AI models without risking real individuals’ privacy. Although synthetic data isn’t linked to real people, businesses must be cautious about potential inaccuracies. A notable tool in this space is MIT’s Synthetic Data Vault, which helps generate synthetic data for a variety of enterprise use cases. Despite its usefulness, there remain concerns about the accuracy of such data when used for critical AI training. Chris Stephenson from Sagacity highlights the importance of training AI models with error-checking mechanisms. He notes that while synthetic data can be useful, businesses must remain careful about how algorithms are trained, paying close attention to the potential for mistakes or biases to slip through unnoticed. As ethical concerns rise, businesses are expected to carefully review their data collection practices. They should know where their data comes from, avoid unreliable sources, and ensure data used in AI models is accurate and fair. Ultimately, organizations must be open and accountable in their data practices to remain trustworthy. 43. What does the phrase “echoes this sentiment” in paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Agrees with clear and ethical data practices. B. Disapproves of the views on data collection. C. Questions the use of open data collection methods. D. Ignores the ethical concerns surrounding AI and data. 44. What can be learned from paragraphs 3 and 4? A. There are tools to ensure data accuracy. B. Reliable data is extremely hard to obtain. C. Ethical data practices lack clear definitions. D. Synthetic data should generally be restricted. 45. Which of the following statements is Chris Stephenson most likely to agree with? A. Error-checking tools are already mature for practical use. B. Data protection rules should be prioritized over data accuracy. C. Mistakes may remain undetected during the training of AI models. D. Synthetic data is the best way to collect data for AI model training. 46. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Synthetic data solves most ethical concerns associated with AI. B. Data collection practices in Al have limited ethical implications. C. Ethical data collection and accuracy are essential for responsible AI usage. D. Businesses should prioritize using as much data as possible for AI training. Section C Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Is Tom Really the Natural Enemy of Jerry? I’ve seen such scenes for many times — some cats are not interested in catching mice, and even seem genuinely afraid of mice. How can a natural hunter be like this? Are mice really more aggressive now? ____47____ Some cats hunt and kill, others play with prey before killing it, and some, like mine, scamper up the stairs wailing at their own shadow. All cats, like people, have personalities and preferences. Moreover, it has much to do with the environment whether a cat is a qualified mice hunter. When cats live indoors and are not exposed to hunting or game, they may ignore mice. While they have natural hunting instincts, most cats are not professional mice hunters. Cats which live in a house are usually well-fed and will only pursue mice for fun. ____48____ However, cats have lightning-fast reflexes (本能反应) and frequently leap before they realize why, especially if something resembles the way a snake moves. ____49____ The truth is, they may never see one if they’ve always been in the house. Cats are highly alert to other creatures that could damage or kill them. Rats, on the other hand, are even more dangerous. A giant rat is not prey that a cat would pursue. The rats’ bite could injure or infect the cat with a deadly disease. What can we do to naturally keep away from mice? Regarding which cat is the best for hunting mice, the cat breed is unimportant. ____50____ Get two of them, but ensure you are feeding them and providing them with medical treatment rather than simply employing them to kill mice and failing to care for them properly. A. A shelter cat which had previously lived outside is a good choice. B. Actually, it is mainly dependent on the cat. C. If they’ve never seen one, they’re correct to be suspicious! D. That is to say, if the cat is full, curiosity is the only motivation to deal with a moving creature. E. Most of the time, it’s not that the cat is afraid of such creatures. F. Cats are intelligent when deciding which target to follow and which to avoid. Ⅳ. Summary Writing 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. These days our society develops rapidly and forces people to rush. It appears that people have got used to being in a hurry. However, it is better for people to take their time and live their life at a slower pace than to hurry to get things done. The main reason that convinces us to oppose doing work in a hurry is the possibility of doing wrongs in a rush. When people do their jobs or take actions in a hurry, they cannot make a sound decision and probably regret later. As the saying goes, “Haste makes waste. ” We should think carefully before making a decision and do our work less quickly. We should not make mistakes by doing work hurriedly. Slowing down the pace of life helps people enjoy their life better. For example, taking a train to some place certainly will take more time than taking a plane. However, taking a train makes people have enough time to get to know a lot of new friends. Besides, it allows people to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. On the contrary, being in a hurry will make us lose chances in enjoying our life. Finally, slower life pace provides better healthy conditions for us. As is known to all, taking actions in a hurry bothers people and raises their stress. People think if they are not in a hurry, they will become a loser and that annoys them. Being in a hurry can hurt people both physically and mentally. According to some studies, people who have a slower pace suffer fewer diseases, tend to be happier and live much longer than those whose life is tense, even if the former finish jobs more slowly than the latter. In short, working quickly will bring about more material benefits to make our society more advanced. However, much stress can’t bring enjoyment, friends and health, which are much more important than money and other material advantages. Therefore, take your time and live your life at a slower pace. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ⅴ.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. (A) On Dec. 26, when Gelinne, 60, was gazing out the back windows of his home in Edgewater, he saw a small aircraft a few hundred yards away, losing altitude. As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former Navy commander and current cybersecurity expert, realized it was going to land in the stream. He flashed on a moment from more than 20 years earlier: Sept. 11, 2001. Gelinne was at work in the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., when terrorists crashed a jumbo jet into the building. He fled the chaos but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and helped. “To the right was the crisis, and to the left was escape. I don’t even know if I could’ve gone right, but I went left,” he recalled. “I always second-guessed myself about that decision.” On this day, Gelinne didn’t hesitate. He ran down to the waterfront. The plane was now sinking. The pilot was standing on the wing. Gelinne knew from his Navy training that even a few minutes in the icy water could kill the pilot. Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it. So he and his son, John Jr., pulled two kayaks (皮划艇) out from under their back deck. The two men set off, pushing their boats across the ice. It was exhausting work. When Gelinne reached the plane, the pilot was standing on a tail wing, submerged up to his chest, surrounded by open water. Gelinne pushed his kayak off the ice and into the water, paddling toward the pilot and thinking, What if he panics? What if I flip? With his son nearby, Gelinne focused on keeping the pilot calm, joking, “Just hang on to the boat as if you were hugging your wife.” The pilot grabbed the kayak’s bow. Now the two men were floating together, but Gelinne knew he had to get the pilot out of the water and up onto the shelf of unbroken ice behind him before the man lost too much body heat. But each time Gelinne tried to land atop the ice shelf, the kayak broke through. By now a boat from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources appeared, breaking through ice as it arrived. It picked up the pilot and swiftly transported him to safety. Later the boat returned to help Gelinne, now exhausted, to shore. The rescuers had arrived just in time, Gelinne recalled. “I’m 60 years old,” he says. “There was no way I could get him to shore.” Still, he was satisfied he’d gone the right way that day. 36. The author describes Gelinne’s experience on September 11, 2001, mainly to ________. A. illustrate the source of his guilt and how it fueled his determination this time B. show his experience in the military made him qualified for rescue operations C. emphasize the psychological trauma of the event had impacted him negatively D. suggest individuals have the moral obligation to assist others in crisis 37. The underlined word “second-guessed” most likely means________ in the context. A. completely forgave B. strongly doubted C. constantly consulted D. passionately defended 38. What were the challenges Gelinne faced in the rescue attempt? ①the sinking plane ②the broken kayaks ③the drowning pilot ④his panicked son ⑤the icy water A. ①②③ B. ①③⑤ C. ①④⑤ D. ②③④ 39. Which of the following may serve as the best title for the passage? A. A pilot’s icy survival: a plane crash on frozen creek B. A veteran’s attempt: overcoming past regret with a brave act C. A family’s highlight moment: how united rescue saved a life D. Navy training in action: an emergency rescue operation saves life 【答案】36. A 37. B 38. B 39. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了60岁的Gelinne在看到一架小飞机即将坠入溪流后，毫不犹豫地展开救援行动，最终成功救出飞行员的故事。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第二段“He flashed on a moment from more than 20 years earlier: Sept. 11, 2001. Gelinne was at work in the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., when terrorists crashed a jumbo jet into the building. He fled the chaos but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and helped.(他突然想起了20多年前的那一刻：2001年9月11日。恐怖分子将一架大型喷气式飞机撞向五角大楼时，Gelinne正在华盛顿特区的五角大楼工作。他逃离了混乱，但一直想知道自己是否本可以留在里面帮忙)”以及第三段““To the right was the crisis, and to the left was escape. I don’t even know if I could’ve gone right, but I went left,” he recalled. “I always second-guessed myself about that decision.”(“右边是危机，左边是逃生。我甚至不知道自己是否本可以向右走，但我选择了向左走，”他回忆道。“对于那个决定，我总是事后怀疑自己”)”可推知，作者描述Gelinne在2001年9月11日的经历主要是为了说明他内疚的来源，以及这种内疚如何激发了他这次救援的决心。故选A。 【37题详解】 词句猜测题。 根据画线词上文“To the right was the crisis, and to the left was escape. I don’t even know if I could’ve gone right, but I went left(右边是危机，左边是逃生。我甚至不知道自己是否本可以向右走，但我选择了向左走)”以及后文“about that decision(关于那个决定)”可知，Gelinne在回忆2001年9月11日发生的事情时，对于自己当时的选择感到不确定，总是怀疑自己是否做出了正确的决定。故画线词意思是“怀疑”。故选B。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第五段“Gelinne tested the ice with his foot and decided not to take any chances walking on it. So he and his son, John Jr., pulled two kayaks (皮划艇) out from under their back deck.(Gelinne用脚试了试冰，决定不冒险在上面走。于是，他和儿子小约翰从后甲板下拖出两艘皮划艇)”以及第六段“The plane was now sinking. The pilot was standing on the wing. Gelinne knew from his Navy training that even a few minutes in the icy water could kill the pilot.(飞机正在下沉。飞行员站在机翼上。Gelinne从海军训练中知道，即使在冰水里待几分钟也会要了飞行员的命)”可知，Gelinne在救援行动中面临的挑战有：下沉的飞机、溺水的飞行员和冰冷的水。故选B。 【39题详解】 主旨大意题。 根据第一段“On Dec. 26, when Gelinne, 60, was gazing out the back windows of his home in Edgewater, he saw a small aircraft a few hundred yards away, losing altitude.(12月26 日，60岁的Gelinne在埃奇沃特家中凝视后窗时，看到几百码外有一架小型飞机正在下降高度)”，第二段的“As the plane disappeared behind the trees, Gelinne, a former Navy commander and current cybersecurity expert, realized it was going to land in the stream. He flashed on a moment from more than 20 years earlier: Sept. 11, 2001. Gelinne was at work in the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., when terrorists crashed a jumbo jet into the building. He fled the chaos but has always wondered if he could have stayed inside and helped.(当飞机消失在树林后，前海军指挥官、现任网络安全专家Gelinne意识到，飞机将坠入溪流。他瞬间回想起20多年前的那一刻：2001年9月11日。当时，Gelinne在华盛顿五角大楼内工作，恐怖分子驾驶一架大型喷气式客机撞向了这栋大楼。他逃离了那片混乱，但一直思索自己当时若是留在里面是否能帮上忙)”以及最后一段“The rescuers had arrived just in time, Gelinne recalled. “I’m 60 years old,” he says. “There was no way I could get him to shore.” Still, he was satisfied he’d gone the right way that day.(Gelinne回忆说，救援人员及时赶到了。“我60岁了，”他说。“我没办法把他弄到岸上。”尽管如此，他还是对自己那天的做法感到满意)”以及结合文章内容可知，本文主要讲述了60岁的Gelinne作为一个老兵，因在9·11逃离时心怀遗憾，后来在看到一架小飞机即将坠入溪流后，毫不犹豫地展开救援行动，最终成功救出飞行员的故事。可知，B选项“一位退伍军人的尝试：以勇敢之举克服过往遗憾”最符合文章标题。故选B。 (B) The card worth paying for THE SHOP It is a membership card that is offered by THE SHOP Shopping Mall.

Businesses, particularly those employing AI algorithms, rely on data more than ever to drive success. However, a challenge that has arisen is ensuring the data used is reliable, objective, and ethically sourced. Concerns are mounting over the use of shady data sources and “black-box” collection methods, where businesses are unsure of how the data was sourced, raising ethical and legal issues. Rachel Aldighieri of the Data and Marketing Association (DMA) stresses that ethical practices in data collection are essential, especially as businesses increasingly use AI to automate decision-making processes. Inappropriate data usage can lead to inaccurate AI models and prejudiced outcomes. Stephen Lester, CTO at Paragon, echoes this sentiment, noting that companies should use open methods to collect data, ensuring participants know how their data is being used and that they receive proper payment. To follow data protection rules, businesses should balance their needs with individuals’ rights. This helps ensure they have the right permissions to use collected data, building customer trust and reducing legal risks. They should also consult resources like the DMA Code for guidance on ethical data practices. However, obtaining reliable data isn’t always straightforward. Open-source datasets are available, but they often lack quality controls and safeguards against bias. Synthetic data, generated by AI, offers an alternative, allowing companies to train AI models without risking real individuals’ privacy. Although synthetic data isn’t linked to real people, businesses must be cautious about potential inaccuracies. A notable tool in this space is MIT’s Synthetic Data Vault, which helps generate synthetic data for a variety of enterprise use cases. Despite its usefulness, there remain concerns about the accuracy of such data when used for critical AI training. Chris Stephenson from Sagacity highlights the importance of training AI models with error-checking mechanisms. He notes that while synthetic data can be useful, businesses must remain careful about how algorithms are trained, paying close attention to the potential for mistakes or biases to slip through unnoticed. As ethical concerns rise, businesses are expected to carefully review their data collection practices. They should know where their data comes from, avoid unreliable sources, and ensure data used in AI models is accurate and fair. Ultimately, organizations must be open and accountable in their data practices to remain trustworthy. 43. What does the phrase “echoes this sentiment” in paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Agrees with clear and ethical data practices. B. Disapproves of the views on data collection. C. Questions the use of open data collection methods. D. Ignores the ethical concerns surrounding AI and data. 44. What can be learned from paragraphs 3 and 4? A. There are tools to ensure data accuracy. B. Reliable data is extremely hard to obtain. C. Ethical data practices lack clear definitions. D. Synthetic data should generally be restricted. 45. Which of the following statements is Chris Stephenson most likely to agree with? A. Error-checking tools are already mature for practical use. B. Data protection rules should be prioritized over data accuracy. C. Mistakes may remain undetected during the training of AI models. D. Synthetic data is the best way to collect data for AI model training. 46. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Synthetic data solves most ethical concerns associated with AI. B. Data collection practices in Al have limited ethical implications. C. Ethical data collection and accuracy are essential for responsible AI usage. D. Businesses should prioritize using as much data as possible for AI training. 【答案】43 A 44. B 45. C 46. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了在当今数据驱动的世界中，企业需确保数据收集的伦理性和准确性以实现人工智能的负责任应用。 【43题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Rachel Aldighieri of the Data and Marketing Association (DMA) stresses that ethical practices in data collection are essential, especially as businesses increasingly use AI to automate decision-making processes. Inappropriate data usage can lead to inaccurate AI models and prejudiced outcomes. Stephen Lester, CTO at Paragon, echoes this sentiment, noting that companies should use open methods to collect data, ensuring participants know how their data is being used and that they receive proper payment.(数据与营销协会（DMA）的雷切尔·阿尔迪吉里强调，数据收集中的道德实践至关重要，尤其是在企业越来越多地使用人工智能来自动化决策过程的情况下。不恰当的数据使用会导致人工智能模型不准确和结果带有偏见。Paragon公司的首席技术官斯蒂芬·莱斯特echoes this sentiment，他指出，公司应采用公开的方法来收集数据，确保参与者知道他们的数据将如何被使用，并确保他们获得适当的报酬)”可知，斯蒂芬·莱斯特表达了同雷切尔·阿尔迪吉里相同的看法，echoes this sentiment意思是“同意清晰和道德的数据实践”。故选A。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“However, obtaining reliable data isn’t always straightforward. Open-source datasets are available, but they often lack quality controls and safeguards against bias.(然而，获取可靠数据并不总是那么简单。开源数据集虽然可用，但往往缺乏质量控制和防止偏见的保障措施)”可知，获取可靠数据不简单，开源数据集有缺陷，表明可靠数据极难获得。故选B。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Chris Stephenson from Sagacity highlights the importance of training AI models with error-checking mechanisms. He notes that while synthetic data can be useful, businesses must remain careful about how algorithms are trained, paying close attention to the potential for mistakes or biases to slip through unnoticed.(来自Sagacity公司的克里斯·斯蒂芬森强调了使用错误检查机制训练人工智能模型的重要性。他指出，虽然合成数据可能有用，但企业必须对算法的训练方式保持谨慎，密切关注错误或偏见可能悄然溜过而未被察觉的潜在风险)”可知，克里斯·斯蒂芬森最可能同意的是在人工智能模型的训练过程中，错误可能仍未被发现。故选C。 【46题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“As ethical concerns rise, businesses are expected to carefully review their data collection practices. They should know where their data comes from, avoid unreliable sources, and ensure data used in AI models is accurate and fair. Ultimately, organizations must be open and accountable in their data practices to remain trustworthy.(随着伦理问题的日益突出，企业需要仔细审查其数据收集实践。他们应该知道数据来自哪里，避免不可靠的来源，并确保人工智能模型中使用的数据准确公正。最终，组织必须在数据实践中保持开放和负责，以保持可信度)”可知，文章主要讲述了在当今数据驱动的世界中，企业需确保数据收集的伦理性和准确性以实现人工智能的负责任应用。故C选项“Ethical data collection and accuracy are essential for responsible Al usage.(道德数据收集和准确性对于负责任地使用人工智能至关重要)”最符合文章主旨。故选C。 Section C Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Is Tom Really the Natural Enemy of Jerry? I’ve seen such scenes for many times — some cats are not interested in catching mice, and even seem genuinely afraid of mice. How can a natural hunter be like this? Are mice really more aggressive now? ____47____ Some cats hunt and kill, others play with prey before killing it, and some, like mine, scamper up the stairs wailing at their own shadow. All cats, like people, have personalities and preferences. Moreover, it has much to do with the environment whether a cat is a qualified mice hunter. When cats live indoors and are not exposed to hunting or game, they may ignore mice. While they have natural hunting instincts, most cats are not professional mice hunters. Cats which live in a house are usually well-fed and will only pursue mice for fun. ____48____ However, cats have lightning-fast reflexes (本能反应) and frequently leap before they realize why, especially if something resembles the way a snake moves. ____49____ The truth is, they may never see one if they’ve always been in the house. Cats are highly alert to other creatures that could damage or kill them. Rats, on the other hand, are even more dangerous. A giant rat is not prey that a cat would pursue. The rats’ bite could injure or infect the cat with a deadly disease. What can we do to naturally keep away from mice? Regarding which cat is the best for hunting mice, the cat breed is unimportant. ____50____ Get two of them, but ensure you are feeding them and providing them with medical treatment rather than simply employing them to kill mice and failing to care for them properly. A. A shelter cat which had previously lived outside is a good choice. B. Actually, it is mainly dependent on the cat. C. If they’ve never seen one, they’re correct to be suspicious! D. That is to say, if the cat is full, curiosity is the only motivation to deal with a moving creature. E. Most of the time, it’s not that the cat is afraid of such creatures. F. Cats are intelligent when deciding which target to follow and which to avoid. 【答案】47. B 48. D 49. C 50. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了猫是否真的是老鼠的天敌这一问题，分析了猫捕鼠行为与其个性，环境以及本能反应的关系，并给出了如何自然驱鼠的建议。 【47题详解】 后文“Some cats hunt and kill, others play with prey before killing it, and some, like mine, scamper up the stairs wailing at their own shadow.(有些猫会主动捕猎并将其捕获的猎物吃掉，有些猫则会在捕杀前先与猎物玩耍一番，而我的猫却会一边尖叫着一边沿着楼梯往上跑，对着自己的影子狂奔。)”描述了猫的具体不同行为，有些捕猎、有些玩耍、有些甚至害怕自己的影子。设空句在此句之前，应是总结概述该部分内容。选项B“Actually, it is mainly dependent on the cat.(实际上，这主要取决于这只猫。)”直接呼应了关于猫个体差异的讨论，强调猫的行为因个性而异，是合理的总结句。故选B项。 【48题详解】 前文“Cats which live in a house are usually well-fed and will only pursue mice for fun.(生活在屋内的猫通常会得到充足的食物供应，它们追捕老鼠纯粹是为了娱乐。)”指出家猫通常吃得好，没有“捕捉老鼠”的本能需求，只为了“好玩”而追老鼠，设空句应是承接“好玩”继续解释“猫逗老鼠”的这一行为的真正原因。选项D“That is to say, if the cat is full, curiosity is the only motivation to deal with a moving creature.(也就是说，如果猫已经吃饱了，那么好奇心就是驱使它去接近移动物体的唯一动力。)” 解释了“只为了好玩”的原因，即，吃饱后仅靠好奇心驱动，使前后文语义更完整。故选D项。 【49题详解】 前文“However, cats have lightning-fast reflexes and frequently leap before they realize why, especially if something resembles the way a snake moves.(然而，猫有闪电般快速的反应，经常在意识到原因之前跳跃，尤其是如果有东西像蛇一样移动的话。)”提到了猫对未知事物或潜在危险的警惕性，而后文内容“The truth is, they may never see one if they’ve always been in the house.(事实是，如果它们一直待在家里，可能永远都见不到。)”则提到了一个新的话题“它们一直呆在家里就可能永远见不到老鼠”，由此推知，设空句应是一个过渡句，既呼应前文警惕，又引出话题“没见过老鼠”。选项C“If they’ve never seen one, they’re correct to be suspicious!(如果它们从未见过这样的东西，那么它们产生怀疑是完全合理的！)”承接了上文内容，连接了后文内容：猫因为反应快而对移动的东西警惕，但因为家养猫从未见过老鼠，所以对其产生怀疑。故选C项。 【50题详解】 前文“Regarding which cat is the best for hunting mice, the cat breed is unimportant.(至于哪种猫最适合捕鼠，猫的品种其实并不重要。)”提到“哪种猫适合捕鼠”，设空句应是给出具体建议。选项A“A shelter cat which had previously lived outside is a good choice.(以前住在外面的收容所猫是一个不错的选择。)”给出了建议，前后衔接紧密。故选A项。 Ⅳ. Summary Writing 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. These days our society develops rapidly and forces people to rush. It appears that people have got used to being in a hurry. However, it is better for people to take their time and live their life at a slower pace than to hurry to get things done. The main reason that convinces us to oppose doing work in a hurry is the possibility of doing wrongs in a rush. When people do their jobs or take actions in a hurry, they cannot make a sound decision and probably regret later. As the saying goes, “Haste makes waste. ” We should think carefully before making a decision and do our work less quickly. We should not make mistakes by doing work hurriedly. Slowing down the pace of life helps people enjoy their life better. For example, taking a train to some place certainly will take more time than taking a plane. However, taking a train makes people have enough time to get to know a lot of new friends. Besides, it allows people to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way. On the contrary, being in a hurry will make us lose chances in enjoying our life. Finally, slower life pace provides better healthy conditions for us. As is known to all, taking actions in a hurry bothers people and raises their stress. People think if they are not in a hurry, they will become a loser and that annoys them. Being in a hurry can hurt people both physically and mentally. According to some studies, people who have a slower pace suffer fewer diseases, tend to be happier and live much longer than those whose life is tense, even if the former finish jobs more slowly than the latter. In short, working quickly will bring about more material benefits to make our society more advanced. However, much stress can’t bring enjoyment, friends and health, which are much more important than money and other material advantages. Therefore, take your time and live your life at a slower pace. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】To live life at a slower pace is better than to live life in a hurry because doing things hurriedly will lead to the possible of making mistakes. Moreover, slowing down the pace of life will give people more chances to enjoy life and better health conditions, which are much more important than material things working quickly brings. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章首先提出了观点，即人们应该放慢生活节奏，而不是急于完成事情。接着，作者通过列举三个主要理由来支持这一观点：一是匆忙工作可能导致错误决策和后悔；二是放慢生活节奏有助于人们更好地享受生活；三是较慢的生活节奏为人们提供了更好的健康条件。最后，作者总结指出，虽然快速工作能带来更多的物质利益，但压力无法带来快乐、朋友和健康，这些比金钱和其他物质优势更重要。因此，人们应该放慢脚步，以较慢的节奏生活。 【详解】1. 要点摘录 ①However, it is better for people to take their time and live their life at a slower pace than to hurry to get things done. ②We should not make mistakes by doing work hurriedly. ③Slowing down the pace of life helps people enjoy their life better. ④Finally, slower life pace provides better healthy conditions for us. ⑤In short, working quickly will bring about more material benefits to make our society more advanced. ⑥However, much stress can’t bring enjoyment, friends and health, which are much more important than money and other material advantages. 2. 缜密构思 将第1、2两个要点进行重组整合，将第3、4、5、6两个要点进行整合。 3. 遣词造句 To live life at a slower pace is better than to live life in a hurry because doing things hurriedly will lead to the possible of making mistakes.
