Abisko National Park Abisko National Park is a main location.The scientifically confirmed "blue hole",a piece of sky over the Tornetrask lake that usually remains clear despite cloudy weather nearby,gives Abiskso its own microclimate(局部地区气候)，which is suitable for catching the lights. Jukkasjarvi The village of Jukkasjarvi only has about 550 people.But don't let the small population size fool you:Jukkasjarvi owns the world's first ice hotel and is one of the best places to view the northern lights. The ice hotel organizes guided tours for guests to the Esrange Space Center.There you can eat at a camp outside and see the Arctic winter sky for aurora borealis().Or why not try to get closer to the northern lights and watch them through an aeroplane window?The ice hotel arranges flights for the amazing northern lights experience. Gallivare You can drive a snowmobile to the mountain top in Gallivare for a private light show,or head a few kilometers to nearby villages to watch those lights shining across the dark winter sky.But remember if you do get the chance to see the northern lights in person,never whistle to them.According to ancient Sumi fairy,it brings you bad luck. 21.When are you likely to.best enjoy the northern lights in Swede? A.On cold winter nights with clear sky and a little moonlight B.On winter nights when the sky is dark with cloud and little moonlight C.On freezmg winter nights in the rural area without moonlight or cloud.

When I arrived in America for college at 18,I embraced critical analysis and creative expression.It felt like a way to abandon the strict formalities that defined my early years in Singapore's high-pressure education system,and with it,perhaps,parts of my identity.Suddenly,I felt the need to present myself in a way that Americans would accept.I put on an American accent and set aside my Chinese name. Ultimately,after 14 years in the States,I decided to learn calligraphy.Why not get back in touch with my heritage?I thought. In calligraphy,the idea is to replicate()the old masters'techniques,thereby enhancing your own. Every week,my teacher would evaluate my writing."You need to be braver,"he once observed."Your challenge is in producing a bold stroke."For years,I had prided myself on developing an image of integration and confidence despite deep insecurities,but my writing betrayed me. I had been learning calligraphy to try to get in touch with my cultural roots,but what I was really seeking was a return to myself.That first lesson came with the terrific promise that what had been shameful in myself could be made beautiful-and that I could be the one to do that work.I know now that what calligraphy teaches me is not the value of replication but the possibility that I could know myself more fully. 24.What criterion()guided the selection of the author's Chinese name. A.Poetic sound patterns. B.Ideal symbolic images. C.Favorable stroke counts. D.Positive literal meanings. 25.Why did the author adopt an American accent? A.To break with tradition. B.To fit into the community. B.To achieve academic success. D.To facilitate language learning 26.What have we learned about the author's experience with calligraphy? A.It revealed her inner self. B.It improved her public image. C.It presented no challenge to her. D.It enhanced her replication skill. 27.What has the author learned from calligraphy? A.Fortune favors the bold. B.Embrace who you truly are. C.Our roots define our identity. D.Planning is good,but doing is better. 第4页共10页 C Recently researchers are discovering that learning is easier,quicker and more long-lasting if it involves the body.To some extent,the discovery should come as no surprise.Consider that many of us probably began to understand basic arithmetic()by counting on our fingers before learning to count in our head. Conventional thinking had it that as we grew,we became more able to think abstractly(抽象地)， which might suggest teachers should help wean children off body gestures to prepare them for the adult world.But in truth,the physical world never really leaves our thinking.For example,when we process verbs such as lick,kick and pick,medical scanners show that the parts of our brain that control the muscles in our face,legs and hands become more active. This theory is called embodied sagnition(体验认知)，and it suggests that what goes on in our minds comes from our actions and interactions with the world around us.It means that encouraging children to think and learn in a completely abstract way might actually make lessons harder fer them to understand and remember. Science is beginning to support the idea that actions really might speak louder than words in the classroom.Spencer Kelly,a psychologist at Colgate University in New York,has found that people spend three times as much time making gestures when the message they convey is particularly important.Kelly has also found evidence that students like a teacher better when that teacher uses arm and hand movements to emphasize points.Meanwhile,Susan Wagner Cook,a psychologist at the University of lowa in lowa City,has found that children pick up new concepts more effectively if they are taught to mirror and repeat the gestures their teacher uses,and that lessons involving words and gestures live longer in a student's memory than lessons using words alone. 28.What does the underlined phrase"wean children off body gestures"in paragraph 2 mean? A.Let children be aware of body gestures. B.Make children stop using body gestures. C.Give children an account of body gestures D.Encourage children to use body gestures. 29.What can we infer from the etbodtied cognition? A.Our minds can help shape reality. B.It's not easy to understand abstract concepts. C.Interacting with the world improves one's memory D.The environment around is important for one's cognition 30.Which of the following statements is true according to what psychologists have found? A.Words are more important than actions in a classroom. B.We just need to involve the body in learning when we are young. C.Example of processing verbs is mentioned to prove that we can think abstractly. D.Teachers had better combine words and gestures to achieve better teacking effect. 第5页共10页 31.What is the text mainly about? A.A study on classroom teaching. B.A new finding about learning. C.The function of body language D.The dark side of thinking abstractly. D Scientists have long known that chimps()sometimes use leaves or insects as medicine.Now, researchers studying chimps in Uganda have found that the animals will sometimes provide"first aid"to each other.This suggests that chimps may be able to think about how to help others,as well as themselves. In 2021,Dr.Elodie Freymann went to Uganda to study the chimps in the Budongo Forest.As Dr. Freymann was looking through notes from other researchers,she noticed that there were several stories about chimps saring for themselves or others.She and her team decided to look through 30 years of notes from researchers who had studied chimps in the region. They also spent eight months studying two separate groups of chimps in the forest.The researchers found 34 examples of chimps treating their own wounds.Often,this sort of "self-care"was very basic, like licking a wound or cleaning themselves with leaves.Sometimes it was more complicated().In some cases,Dr.Freymann says,the chimps"chew the plants up,and then apply the chewed material to the open injury..” The self-care of the chimps was interesting.But even more interesting were the seven cases they found of chimps helping out other chimps.This seems to show that chimps may be able to tell when another needs help.It's fairly unusual for animals to try to help another injured animal.What's really amazing is that the chimps who helped others weren't even related. In one notable case,an adult female chewed a leaf to put on her wound.The chimp's younger daughter saw this,and then did exactly the same thing,chewing up a leaf and putting it on her mother's injury.What needs further research is how much of this behavior comes from the chimps'natural instincts(),and how much is learned fiom other chimps.As for that,not all team memnbers agree.A team member,Ryan Black,believes such behavior comes from instincts,but that others seem so complicated that they're probably learned. 32.How did Dr.Freymann and her team conduct their research: A.By carrying out experiments in labs. B.By following an individual chimp for long. C.By interviewing experts in chimp behavior. D.By combining past records with field observations. 第6页共10页 33.What surprised the researchers about the findings? A.The variety of plants chimps used for treatment. B.The fact that chimps helped unrelated individuals. C.The speed at which chimps learned new behaviors D.The limited medieal tcchniques chimps could employ. 34.What's Black's attitude towards the idea that the self-care behavior is born? A.Positive. B.Doubtful C.Uncaring D.Unclear. 35.Which of the following is the best title for the toxt' A.The Struggles Facing Chimps B.Chimps Perform First Aid on Each Other C.Chimps Learn Medical Skills from Humans D.The Ways Chimps Communicate with Each Other 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） Over recent years,AI has become accessible to sveryone,particularly young people,significantly simplifying our lives compared to before.36 Here are three things you can keep in mind as you navigate AI technology in everyday life. Be critical.Generative AI can do amazing things,like generate images or write stories,but it doesn't reflect on what it is writing.It will string text together in a way that makes sense but often cannot "read between the lines".37 You can use this as an opportunity to develop critical thinking skills Watch out for chatbots.Chatbots are computer programs designed to simulate()conversations as if they were another human being.But there may not be any human checks on inappropriate content. Don't forget that the "person"you're speaking to is actually a machine,not a human.38 It only presents text and language based on prewritten models and rules. 3With all the focus on AI-generated text,you might not notice that images and videos are also part of the generative AI landscape.Your photos and facial image become available to AI when ploaded,which makes it harder to protect your identity.So be careful about your privacy and always remember that any data you upload to the internet can be stored,scanned and processed by Al. Nevertheless,the developments in this field are highly exciting.And with open policy conservation and some oversights,AI can be a powerful learning and engagement tool.4 A.Understand AI's limitations. B.Pay attention to visual uploads. C.However,there are risks as well as benefits. D.It does not share your ideas,beliefs,culture or religion E.If left unaccompanied,chatbots could feed into your curiosity. F.The potential benefits that would come from using this technology are endless. G.This means every word,sentence and claim AI generates should be treated carefully. 第7页共10页 第三部分语言运用（共三节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） Alicia,a black girl,fell in love with dance when she was three years old.But she didn'trealize her 41 could help her achieve her career until she felt a new training program in the Juilliard School.
