John and Mary had a nice home and two lovely children. John had just been asked to go on a business trip to another city for several days and Mary would go with him too. They hired a reliable woman to care for their children and returned home a little earlier than they had planned.
As they drove into their hometown, they found a home on fire. After having a look, Mary said, “Oh well, it isn’t our fire. Let’s go home.” But John drove closer and said, “That home belongs to Fred Jones who wouldn’t be off work yet. Maybe there is something we could do.”
John noticed an old lady screamed to him, “The children! Get the children!” John grabbed her by the shoulder saying, “Get a hold of yourself and tell us where the children are!” “In the basement,” cried the lady.
In spite of Mary’s disagreement, John soaked (浸湿) his clothes and ran to the basement which was full of smoke. He found the door and grabbed two children. As he left he could hear some more cries. He sent the two badly frightened children into the waiting room and asked how many more children were down there. They told him two more and Mary grabbed his arm and screamed, “John! Don’t go back! It’s dangerous! That house will fall down in any second!”
But he shook her off and went back. It seemed a very long time before he found both children and started back. As he climbed up the endless steps the thought went through his mind that there was something strangely familiar about the little bodies next to him, and at last when they came out into the sunlight and fresh air, he found that he had just rescued his own children. The baby-sitter had left them at this home while she did some shopping.
4. Why did the old lady scream to John?
A. To ask him to get away from the fire.
B. To ask for his help to save the children.
C. To ask him to rescue her from the fire.
D. To ask him to take out valuable things from the fire.
5. What was Mary’s response to John’s action?
A. She disagreed with it. B. She supported it.
C. She misunderstood it. D. She was unconcerned about it.
6. What was the house like before John went back once again?
A. It was clean. B. It was burned down.
C. It was dangerous. D. It was under repair.
7. What can we infer according to the text?
A. Two heads are better than one. B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. Helping others means helping ourselves. D. God helps those who help themselves.
C
Some 70 countries, mostly in the Americas and Europe, apply Daylight Saving Time during the summer months. Europe’s clocks will move forward once again this weekend. Yet last week the European Union voted to end this long-established practice from 2022.
In the 18th century, Benjamin Franklin came up with the idea of moving the clocks forward in the summer. But the practice really took hold during World War I and since then it has brought several benefits. It might increase consumer spending, as shoppers are encouraged to stay out later into the evening. It might even reduce crime. As the saying goes, “The longer the daylight, the less I do wrong.”
In spite of all that, clock-changing is unpopular. When the European Union ran a poll(民意调查)among its citizens, it got nearly 5 million responses. Over 80% want to scrap clock-changing, and for good reasons. Although it has not been proven eventually, many scientists think that changing the clocks messes up humans’ biological clock, which may increase the chances of heart attacks and strokes. It could cause car accidents to increase, as drivers who are used to going to work in the daylight, for example, suddenly have to do so in the dark. In addition, many businesses find it extremely inconvenient that countries change their clocks at different times.
So, will Europeans choose to stick with winter or summer time? This has not been decided. It could be that each country will choose for itself, though each is likely to take careful note of neighbors’ decisions. The benefit, it seems, is not so much in deciding how long the evening is, or how dark the morning. It is in keeping it consistent throughout the year.
8. What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A. Clock-changing has more benefits than expected.
B. People adopted clock-changing after World War I.
C. Clock-changing makes people sleepy in the day time.
D. People might spend more money after clock-changing.
9. Which of the following best explains “scrap” underlined in paragraph 3?
A. Favor. B. Stop.
C. Obey. D. Delay.
10. What can we infer about clock-changing in Europe?
A. People will continue to use it.
B. More changes will be added to it.
C. It remains to be seen whether to use it.
D. The countries will change their clocks at same times.
11 What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To recall the history of clock-changing.
B. To stress the benefits of clock-changing.
C. To show people’s opinions on clock-changing.
D. To introduce the bad effects of clock-changing.
D
Advances in generative artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled authentic-sounding speech synthesis (语音合成) to the point that a person can no longer distinguish whether they are talking to another human or a deepfake (深度伪造). If a person’s own voice is “cloned” by a third party without their agreement, bad guys can use it to send any message they want.
Computer scientist and engineer Ning Zhang has developed a new method to prevent unauthorized speech synthesis before it takes place: a tool called AntiFake.
Traditional deepfake detection methods only work after the damage is done. However, AntiFake prevents voice data from being synthesized into an audio deepfake beforehand. This tool turns the tables on cybercriminals (网络罪犯) by using similar voice cloning techniques they employ, but for voice protection. The software complicates voice data extraction and feature identification crucial for voice synthesis. “We’re using an opposite AI technique originally used by cybercriminals, but now we’re using it against them,” Zhang explained. “We slightly change the recorded audio, just enough to make it unusable for voice clone training while still sounding natural to humans.”
Ben Zhao, a professor of computer science at University of Chicago, says that the software, like all digital security systems, will never provide complete protection. But, he adds that it can raise the bar and limit the attack to a smaller group of individuals with significant resources.
AntiFake can already protect shorter voice recordings against cloning. The creators of the tool believe that it could be extended to protect larger audio documents or music from misuse. But the methods and tools that are developed must be continuously adapted because cybercriminals will learn and grow with them.
12. What is the primary purpose of AntiFake?
A. To improve the quality of synthetic speech. B. To clone voices without the owner’s approval.
C. To detect deepfakes after they have been created. D. To stop unapproved speech generation from happening.
13. How does AntiFake differ from these traditional methods?
A. It prevents audio deepfakes in advance. B. It cannot detect deepfakes until created.
C. It only works on short voice recordings. D. It relies on human listeners to identify deepfakes.
14. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Developers should focus on short voice recordings.
B. The battle against deepfakes requires ongoing efforts.
C. AntiFake is ineffective against advanced cloning techniques.
D. AntiFake provides permanent solutions to the deepfake threat.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Future of Voice Technology. B. A Method for Detecting AI Deepfakes.
C. The Challenge of Telling Human Voices. D. A Tool to Keep AI from Stealing Your Voice.

How to Reach a Healthy Weight
Diets aren’t the way to go when it comes to losing weight. Most dieters gain back any lost weight when they go back to their old eating habits. ____16____ Here are four ways to make that happen:
Exercise.
____17____ Walking the family dog, cycling to school, and doing other things that increase your daily level of activity can all make a difference. If you want to burn more calories, increase the intensity of your workouts and add some strength exercises to build up your muscles. I he more muscles you have,the more calories you burn, even when you aren’t exercising.
____18____
One reason why people get less exercise these days is that there is an increase in “screen time”—the amount of time spent watching TV looking at the computer, using mobile devices, or playing video games. Limit recreational screen time to less than 2 hours per day. If you’re staying with friends at the mall, you re getting more exercise than if you’re texting them in your room.

Portion sizes are bigger than they used to be, and these extra calories contribute to obesity. Another key factor in weight gain is that more people drink sugary beverages, such as sodas, juice drinks, and sports drinks. ____19____
Don’t skip breakfast.
Breakfast kick starts your metabolism (新陈代谢), burning calories from the beginning and giving you energy to do more things during the day. ____20____ So they get more calories than they would have if they had eaten breakfast.
A. Go out regularly.
B. Reduce screen time.
C. So what’s the best way to drop excess weight?
D. Regular physical activity burns calories and builds up muscles.
E They are puzzled about how they should deal with their eating habits.
F. People who skip breakfast often feel so hungry that they eat more later on.
G. So choose smaller portions and go for water or low-fat milk instead of sodas.

Ali and his younger sister, Zahra, lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks (催促).
One day, Ali took Zahra’s shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali’s running shoes. Zahra’s school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.
Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city. When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived. Ali had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided (碰撞) with Ali from behind and he crashed to the ground.

John and Mary had a nice home and two lovely children. John had just been asked to go on a business trip to another city for several days and Mary would go with him too. They hired a reliable woman to care for their children and returned home a little earlier than they had planned.
As they drove into their hometown, they found a home on fire. After having a look, Mary said, “Oh well, it isn’t our fire. Let’s go home.” But John drove closer and said, “That home belongs to Fred Jones who wouldn’t be off work yet. Maybe there is something we could do.”

C
Some 70 countries, mostly in the Americas and Europe, apply Daylight Saving Time during the summer months. Europe’s clocks will move forward once again this weekend. Yet last week the European Union voted to end this long-established practice from 2022.
In the 18th century, Benjamin Franklin came up with the idea of moving the clocks forward in the summer. But the practice really took hold during World War I and since then it has brought several benefits. It might increase consumer spending, as shoppers are encouraged to stay out later into the evening. It might even reduce crime. As the saying goes, “The longer the daylight, the less I do wrong.”
In spite of all that, clock-changing is unpopular. When the European Union ran a poll(民意调查)among its citizens, it got nearly 5 million responses. Over 80% want to scrap clock-changing, and for good reasons. Although it has not been proven eventually, many scientists think that changing the clocks messes up humans’ biological clock, which may increase the chances of heart attacks and strokes. It could cause car accidents to increase, as drivers who are used to going to work in the daylight, for example, suddenly have to do so in the dark. In addition, many businesses find it extremely inconvenient that countries change their clocks at different times.
So, will Europeans choose to stick with winter or summer time? This has not been decided. It could be that each country will choose for itself, though each is likely to take careful note of neighbors’ decisions. The benefit, it seems, is not so much in deciding how long the evening is, or how dark the morning. It is in keeping it consistent throughout the year.
8. What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A. Clock-changing has more benefits than expected.
B. People adopted clock-changing after World War I.
C. Clock-changing makes people sleepy in the day time.
D. People might spend more money after clock-changing.
9. Which of the following best explains “scrap” underlined in paragraph 3?
A. Favor. B. Stop.
C. Obey. D. Delay.
10. What can we infer about clock-changing in Europe?
A. People will continue to use it.
B. More changes will be added to it.
C. It remains to be seen whether to use it.
D. The countries will change their clocks at same times.
11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To recall the history of clock-changing.
B. To stress the benefits of clock-changing.
C. To show people’s opinions on clock-changing.
D. To introduce the bad effects of clock-changing.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了欧洲实行夏令时的优点和缺陷,以及民众对是否继续使用夏令时的看法。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It might increase consumer spending, as shoppers are encouraged to stay out later into the evening. ”( 这可能会增加消费者支出,因为消费者被鼓励晚上在外面呆到更晚。)可知,使用夏令时后,人们待在外面的时间变长,这可能增加人们的消费。故选D项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据本段中的“In spite of all that, clock-changing is unpopular. ”( 尽管如此,改变时间还是不受欢迎。)可知,夏令时是不受欢迎的,所以进行民意调查的结果肯定是人们希望停止这一确立已久的做法,划线词词义为“停止”,故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“This has not been decided. ”(还没有确定。)可知,欧洲国家最终还没有决定是否继续使用夏令时。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。文章第二段提到了使用夏令时的优点,同时在第三段也说明了其不足,因此文章旨在客观地介绍民众关于夏令时的各种看法。故选C项。
D
Advances in generative artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled authentic-sounding speech synthesis (语音合成) to the point that a person can no longer distinguish whether they are talking to another human or a deepfake (深度伪造). If a person’s own voice is “cloned” by a third party without their agreement, bad guys can use it to send any message they want.
Computer scientist and engineer Ning Zhang has developed a new method to prevent unauthorized speech synthesis before it takes place: a tool called AntiFake.
Traditional deepfake detection methods only work after the damage is done. However, AntiFake prevents voice data from being synthesized into an audio deepfake beforehand. This tool turns the tables on cybercriminals (网络罪犯) by using similar voice cloning techniques they employ, but for voice protection. The software complicates voice data extraction and feature identification crucial for voice synthesis. “We’re using an opposite AI technique originally used by cybercriminals, but now we’re using it against them,” Zhang explained. “We slightly change the recorded audio, just enough to make it unusable for voice clone training while still sounding natural to humans.”
Ben Zhao, a professor of computer science at University of Chicago, says that the software, like all digital security systems, will never provide complete protection. But, he adds that it can raise the bar and limit the attack to a smaller group of individuals with significant resources.
AntiFake can already protect shorter voice recordings against cloning. The creators of the tool believe that it could be extended to protect larger audio documents or music from misuse. But the methods and tools that are developed must be continuously adapted because cybercriminals will learn and grow with them.
12. What is the primary purpose of AntiFake?
A. To improve the quality of synthetic speech. B. To clone voices without the owner’s approval.
C. To detect deepfakes after they have been created. D. To stop unapproved speech generation from happening.
13. How does AntiFake differ from these traditional methods?
A. It prevents audio deepfakes in advance. B. It cannot detect deepfakes until created.
C. It only works on short voice recordings. D. It relies on human listeners to identify deepfakes.
14. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Developers should focus on short voice recordings.
B. The battle against deepfakes requires ongoing efforts.
C. AntiFake is ineffective against advanced cloning techniques.
D. AntiFake provides permanent solutions to the deepfake threat.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Future of Voice Technology. B. A Method for Detecting AI Deepfakes.
C. The Challenge of Telling Human Voices. D. A Tool to Keep AI from Stealing Your Voice.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文属于说明文,主要介绍了一种名为AntiFake的新技术工具,该工具旨在通过预先阻止未经授权的语音合成来应对语音深度伪造的问题。文中详细阐述了该技术的工作原理、与传统方法的差异、以及在数字安全领域的应用前景和挑战,同时提及了持续改进的必要性,以对抗不断进化的网络犯罪手段。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段中的“However, AntiFake prevents voice data from being synthesized into an audio deepfake beforehand. (然而,AntiFake可以防止语音数据事先被合成成音频深度伪造。)”可知,AntiFake的主要目的是阻止未经授权的语音生成发生。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段中的“Traditional deepfake detection methods only work after the damage is done. However, AntiFake prevents voice data from being synthesized into an audio deepfake beforehand. (传统的深度伪造检测方法只有在损坏发生后才有效。然而,AntiFake可以防止语音数据事先被合成成音频深度伪造。)”可知,AntiFake与传统方法的不同之处在于它能提前防止音频深度伪造。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段中的“But the methods and tools that are developed must be continuously adapted because cybercriminals will learn and grow with them. (但是,开发的方法和工具必须不断适应,因为网络犯罪分子将与他们一起学习和成长。)”可知,对抗深度伪造的斗争需要不断的努力,因为网络犯罪分子会随着技术的发展而学习和成长。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是由文章第二段“Computer scientist and engineer Ning Zhang has developed a new method to prevent unauthorized speech synthesis before it takes place: a tool called AntiFake. (计算机科学家和工程师张宁开发了一种新方法,可以在未经授权的语音合成发生之前阻止它:一种名为AntiFake的工具。)”可知,文章主要介绍了新工具AntiFake,该工具能预防声音被未经授权地克隆用于深度伪造,旨在保护个人的声音不被盗用。故选D。
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。
How to Reach a Healthy Weight
Diets aren’t the way to go when it comes to losing weight. Most dieters gain back any lost weight when they go back to their old eating habits. ____16____ Here are four ways to make that happen:
Exercise.
____17____ Walking the family dog, cycling to school, and doing other things that increase your daily level of activity can all make a difference. If you want to burn more calories, increase the intensity of your workouts and add some strength exercises to build up your muscles. I he more muscles you have,the more calories you burn, even when you aren’t exercising.
____18____
One reason why people get less exercise these days is that there is an increase in “screen time”—the amount of time spent watching TV, looking at the computer, using mobile devices, or playing video games. Limit recreational screen time to less than 2 hours per day. If you’re staying with friends at the mall, you re getting more exercise than if you’re texting them in your room.
Watch out for portion distortion.
Portion sizes are bigger than they used to be, and these extra calories contribute to obesity. Another key factor in weight gain is that more people drink sugary beverages, such as sodas, juice drinks, and sports drinks. ____19____
Don’t skip breakfast.
Breakfast kick starts your metabolism (新陈代谢), burning calories from the beginning and giving you energy to do more things during the day. ____20____ So they get more calories than they would have if they had eaten breakfast.
A. Go out regularly.
B. Reduce screen time.
C. So what’s the best way to drop excess weight?
D. Regular physical activity burns calories and builds up muscles.
E. They are puzzled about how they should deal with their eating habits.
F. People who skip breakfast often feel so hungry that they eat more later on.
G. So choose smaller portions and go for water or low-fat milk instead of sodas.
【答案】16. C 17. D 18. B 19. G 20. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了实现减肥的四个方法:规律锻炼、减少屏幕使用时间、注意分量失真以及不要不吃早餐。
【16题详解】
根据空处下句“Here are four ways to make that happen:( 以下是实现这一目标的四种方法:)”可知,这是对C选项“So what’s the best way to drop excess weight?(那么,减肥的最好方法是什么呢?)”问题的回答,符合上下文。故选C项。
【17题详解】
根据空处该段小标题“Exercise.(锻炼)”以及空处后句“Walking the family dog, cycling to school, and doing other things that increase your daily level of activity can all make a difference.(遛家里的狗,骑自行车上学,做其他的事情,增加你的日常活动水平都可以发挥作用。)”是对D选项“Regular physical activity burns calories and builds up muscles.(有规律的体育活动可以燃烧卡路里,增强肌肉。)”的进一步解释和举例。故选D项。
【18题详解】
根据空处该段后文“Limit recreational screen time to less than 2 hours per day.(每天用屏幕娱乐的时间不要超过2小时。)”可知,本段主要是建议减少看屏幕的时间,所以B选项“Reduce screen time.(减少屏幕时间)”符合段意。故选B项。
【19题详解】
根据空处前两句“Portion sizes are bigger than they used to be, and these extra calories contribute to obesity. Another key factor in weight gain is that more people drink sugary beverages, such as sodas, juice drinks, and sports drinks.(食物的分量比以前大了,这些额外的热量会导致肥胖。另一个导致体重增加的关键因素是,越来越多的人喝含糖饮料,如苏打水、果汁和运动饮料。)可知,这里是再介绍不健康的做法,因此G选项“So choose smaller portions and go for water or low-fat milk instead of sodas.(所以选择小份量的饮料,用水或低脂牛奶代替苏打水。)”是正确做法的结论补充。故选G项。
【20题详解】
根据空处下句“So they get more calories than they would have if they had eaten breakfast.(所以他们摄入的卡路里比他们吃早餐时摄入的要多。)”可知,F选项“People who skip breakfast often feel so hungry that they eat more later on.(不吃早餐的人通常会觉得很饿,所以之后会吃得更多。)”与空处互为因果关系,符合上下文。故选F项。

第二节 (满分25分)
47. 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
Ali and his younger sister, Zahra, lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks (催促).
One day, Ali took Zahra’s shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali’s running shoes. Zahra’s school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.
Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city. When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived. Ali had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided (碰撞) with Ali from behind and he crashed to the ground.
注意:
1.续写词数应150左右;

Filled with delight, Ali walked home quickly.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Ali looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead. Refusing to give up at this point, he jumped to his feet and ran as fast as he could. He dashed across the finish line and won the fourth prize. Thinking he would let his sister down, Ali couldn’t help sobbing. Just then he suddenly heard the announcement from the broadcast that he won the third prize as the runner who collided with Ali was disqualified for breaking the rule. Holding the shoes close to his chest during the award ceremony, Ali felt overjoyed and relieved.
Filled with delight, Ali walked home quickly. He could not wait to see his sister and share the thrilling news. On his arrival, Ali found Zahra was waiting outside. She was wondering whether her brother had brought her what she was expecting. “Zahra, see what I have got for you.” He took the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands. The moment Zahra saw the shoes, her face lit up. So thrilled was she that she threw herself at Ali. “Thank you! Ali.” Tears of joy welled up in their eyes.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,本文讲述了一个在一个贫困的家庭里有两个孩子,他们身上的钱只够买吃的,一天Ali带着妹妹的鞋子去修理,结果半路上却把鞋子丢了,两人商量好两个人先穿一双鞋。有一次学校举办跑步比赛,奖品是一双鞋,Ali决定参加并且获取第一。可就快到终点时,被人撞倒了,摔在了地上。

①由第一段首句内容“Ali抬起头,看到其他男孩都冲在前面。”可知,第一段可描写他拒绝放弃,快速地跑去,冲过终点线,获得了第四名,但是广播中宣布自己是第三名,撞到他的跑步者因违规而被取消资格,在颁奖典礼上,把鞋子紧贴胸前,欣喜若狂。
②由第二段首句内容“Ali满怀喜悦,快步走回家。”可知,第二段可描写他迫切的想与妹妹分享这个激动人心的消息,妹妹很期待哥哥给她带来的礼物,看到鞋子的那一刻脸上露出了光芒,向哥哥表示了感谢,喜悦的泪水在眼眶中涌出。
