【解析】
【详解】句意:潘展乐在2024年7月31日打破了男子100米自由泳纪录。

【解析】
【详解】句意:建山路是大田最繁忙的道路之一。尤其是在早上7点半左右。
考查形容词辨析。busiest最繁忙的;widest最宽的;narrowest最窄的。根据“especially about 7:30 in the morning”可知,此时是交通高峰期,道路应处于最繁忙状态,A项符合。故选A。

【解析】
【详解】句意:——学好一门外语,一个人必须努力。俗话说,“罗马不是一天建成的。”——我同意。我们还是坚持住比较好。
考查形容词辨析。honest诚实的;excellent优秀的;hard-working努力的。根据句中谚语“Rome wasn’t built in a day”可知,成功需要时间和持续努力,因此挖空处应表示“勤奋的”或“坚持不懈的”。故选C。

One day, a little girl found a cocoon. She could tell that a butterfly was going to be born. She decided to wait for the butterfly to come out of the cocoon.
She watched it for hours; suddenly the butterfly stopped moving—it got stuck. The girl wanted to help the butterfly get out. She went home and got a pair of scissors. As she cut and opened the cocoon, the butterfly then easily came out. However, its body was swollen (肿大的) and its wings (翅膀) were very small. The girl still thought that she helped the butterfly. She sat there for another several hours and waited for its wings to grow. However, it didn’t happen. The butterfly was unable to fly, and for the rest of its life, it could only move around with a large body and little wings.
The girl thought she was helping, but actually she was hurting it. When the butterfly broke free of its cocoon by itself, it was time for its body to get smaller and its wings to get stronger. So it could fly soon.
It’s true that struggling (挣扎) will make you stronger. Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were allowed to go through our life without any problems, it would weaken us. We wouldn’t be as strong as what we could have been, and we could never fly.

32. When the butterfly got stuck, it actually meant ________.
A. the cocoon was too narrow
B. its wings were strong
C. it needed the girl’s help

A. Clever. B. Cruel. C. Kind. D. Careless.
34. The writer thinks that struggles in life are ________.
A. not exactly needed B. making us weak
C. necessary for everyone D. difficult to deal with
35. From the passage, we know that ________.
A. growing up needs taking pains
B. failure (失败) is the mother of success
C. a good heart can earn good rewards (回报)

The English mom Tiffany has a DIY recycling center in her garden. She has recycled 1,200 kg of rubbish and raised money for her local community along the way.
Tiffany built the center after the birth of her third child, when she found the baby food bags and some other special things like toothbrushes weren’t included in the town’s weekly rubbish collection. So she set up her own recycling center in her garden.
At first, Tiffany had only a couple of boxes. But now, her garden has more bins to help the locals deal with their waste. Lots of neighbors use Tiffany’s recycling center and over 30 different household things can be recycled there. “The recycling center has hopefully helped the community recycle more waste,” Tiffany said. “It has helped my children feel the need to do recycling, too.”
Every month, Tiffany sends most of her rubbish to TerraCycle, a company (公司) that processes (处理) the rubbish and turns it into useful things like watering cans. The weight of Tiffany’s recyclable materials is changed into points for money. And the money will be paid out twice a year to charities (慈善团体) chosen by her.
In the last three years, Tiffany’s recycling center has raised over £1,000, which has been given to her daughter Zoe’s sports group to buy new things. She hopes that it can help more people recognize (意识到) the need to recycle things and do something helpful.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,讲述了英国妈妈Tiffany在自家花园建立DIY回收中心,回收特殊物品,不仅帮助邻居处理废弃物,还通过回收所得资助慈善团体和社区活动,同时培养了孩子们的环保意识。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“when she found the baby food bags and some other special things like toothbrushes weren’t included in the town’s weekly rubbish collection. So she set up her own recycling center in her garden.”可知,Tiffany发现婴儿食品袋和牙刷等特殊物品不在城镇每周的垃圾收集范围内,所以她在花园里建立了自己的回收中心。因此,她建立回收中心是为了回收特殊物品。故选B。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The recycling center has hopefully helped the community recycle more waste,”以及“It has helped my children feel the need to do recycling, too.”可知,回收中心帮助邻居回收了更多东西,同时也让Tiffany的孩子们意识到回收的必要性。因此,①和③是回收中心的影响。而文章中并未提及回收中心为当地人创造了更多工作机会,所以②不符合题意。故选C。
【38题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“Every month, Tiffany sends most of her rubbish to TerraCycle, a company that processes the rubbish and turns it into useful things like watering cans. The weight of Tiffany’s recyclable materials is changed into points for money. And the money will be paid out twice a year to charities chosen by her.”可知,本段主要介绍了Tiffany如何进行回收以及如何通过回收筹集资金。故选A。
【39题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第五段“In the last three years, Tiffany’s recycling center has raised over £1,000, which has been given to her daughter Zoe’s sports group to buy new things. She hopes that it can help more people recognize the need to recycle things and do something helpful.”可知,在过去的三年里,Tiffany的回收中心筹集了超过1000英镑,这笔钱已经给了她女儿Zoe的运动队买新东西。她希望回收中心能帮助更多人认识到回收物品的必要性并做一些有益的事情。因此,“it”指的是回收中心。故选D。
【40题详解】
最佳标题题。根据全文内容可知,本文主要讲述了Tiffany通过她的绿色项目——回收中心,进行回收活动并筹集资金的故事。因此,最佳标题应为“通过她的绿色项目进行回收”。故选B。

The change is coming to how books are written, with AI like ChatGPT playing a part. A growing number of people are using ChatGPT to write books for sale. So far sales have been slow, but human writers are still worried. They are afraid that the books created by ChatGPT might hurt the publishing (出版) industry. Brett Schickler is a salesman in Rochester, New York. Until recently, he never imagined he could be a writer. However, after learning about the ChatGPT program, Schickler found he had a good chance. “The idea of writing a book finally seemed possible,” said Schickler, “and I thought I could do this.”
Using the AI software, Schickler created his first book, a 30-page children’s e-book, in a few hours. He sold it online and made less than $100. While that may not sound like much, it is enough to make him want to create other books using the software. “I could see people making a whole career (职业) out of this,” said Schickler.
There were over 200 e-books online that said ChatGPT was a writer or co-writer. And the number is increasing daily. But because of the nature of ChatGPT and many writers’ failure to admit (承认) that they have used it, it is nearly impossible to get a full count of how many e-books may have been written by AI.
Some professional (专业的) writers are becoming worried about the effects that ChatGPT could have on the book publishing industry. Mary Rasenberger is the director of a writers’ group. She said, “This is something we really need to be worried about. These books will flood the market and a lot of writers are going to be out of work.”
41. What can we know about Brett Schickler from the text?
A. He wanted to be a writer before.
B. He works as a salesman in New York.
C. He spent much time creating his first book.
D. He has made lots of money by selling his book.
42. Which of the following words can show some professional writers’ feelings?
A. Excited and happy. B. Worried and nervous.
C. Angry and disappointed. D. Surprised and pleased.
43. What does the underlined word “flood” mean in paragraph4?
A. Fill. B. Control. C. Explore. D. Serve.
44. From the text, we can infer that ________.
A. writers don’t want to spend money on ChatGPT

One day, a little girl found a cocoon. She could tell that a butterfly was going to be born. She decided to wait for the butterfly to come out of the cocoon.
She watched it for hours; suddenly the butterfly stopped moving—it got stuck. The girl wanted to help the butterfly get out. She went home and got a pair of scissors. As she cut and opened the cocoon, the butterfly then easily came out. However, its body was swollen (肿大的) and its wings (翅膀) were very small. The girl still thought that she helped the butterfly. She sat there for another several hours and waited for its wings to grow. However, it didn’t happen. The butterfly was unable to fly, and for the rest of its life, it could only move around with a large body and little wings.
The girl thought she was helping, but actually she was hurting it. When the butterfly broke free of its cocoon by itself, it was time for its body to get smaller and its wings to get stronger. So it could fly soon.
It’s true that struggling (挣扎) will make you stronger. Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were allowed to go through our life without any problems, it would weaken us. We wouldn’t be as strong as what we could have been, and we could never fly.
31. What is a “cocoon” according to the passage?
A. B. C. D.
32. When the butterfly got stuck, it actually meant ________.
A. the cocoon was too narrow
B. its wings were strong
C. it needed the girl’s help
D. it was time to break free by itself
33. Which word is the best one to describe the girl?
A. Clever. B. Cruel. C. Kind. D. Careless.
34. The writer thinks that struggles in life are ________.
A. not exactly needed B. making us weak
C. necessary for everyone D. difficult to deal with
35. From the passage, we know that ________.
A. growing up needs taking pains
B. failure (失败) is the mother of success
C. a good heart can earn good rewards (回报)
D. a friend in need is a friend indeed
C
The English mom Tiffany has a DIY recycling center in her garden. She has recycled 1,200 kg of rubbish and raised money for her local community along the way.
Tiffany built the center after the birth of her third child, when she found the baby food bags and some other special things like toothbrushes weren’t included in the town’s weekly rubbish collection. So she set up her own recycling center in her garden.
At first, Tiffany had only a couple of boxes. But now, her garden has more bins to help the locals deal with their waste. Lots of neighbors use Tiffany’s recycling center and over 30 different household things can be recycled there. “The recycling center has hopefully helped the community recycle more waste,” Tiffany said. “It has helped my children feel the need to do recycling, too.”
Every month, Tiffany sends most of her rubbish to TerraCycle, a company (公司) that processes (处理) the rubbish and turns it into useful things like watering cans. The weight of Tiffany’s recyclable materials is changed into points for money. And the money will be paid out twice a year to charities (慈善团体) chosen by her.
In the last three years, Tiffany’s recycling center has raised over £1,000, which has been given to her daughter Zoe’s sports group to buy new things. She hopes that it can help more people recognize (意识到) the need to recycle things and do something helpful.
36. Why did Tiffany start the DIY recycling center in her garden?
A. To make money.
B. To recycle special things.
C. To have more visitors.
D. To create a play area for her kids.
37. What are the influences (影响) of the recycling center?
① Helping the neighbors recycle more things.

The change is coming to how books are written, with AI like ChatGPT playing a part. A growing number of people are using ChatGPT to write books for sale. So far sales have been slow, but human writers are still worried. They are afraid that the books created by ChatGPT might hurt the publishing (出版) industry. Brett Schickler is a salesman in Rochester, New York. Until recently, he never imagined he could be a writer. However, after learning about the ChatGPT program, Schickler found he had a good chance. “The idea of writing a book finally seemed possible,” said Schickler, “and I thought I could do this.”
Using the AI software, Schickler created his first book, a 30-page children’s e-book, in a few hours. He sold it online and made less than $100. While that may not sound like much, it is enough to make him want to create other books using the software. “I could see people making a whole career (职业) out of this,” said Schickler.
There were over 200 e-books online that said ChatGPT was a writer or co-writer. And the number is increasing daily. But because of the nature of ChatGPT and many writers’ failure to admit (承认) that they have used it, it is nearly impossible to get a full count of how many e-books may have been written by AI.
Some professional (专业的) writers are becoming worried about the effects that ChatGPT could have on the book publishing industry. Mary Rasenberger is the director of a writers’ group. She said, “This is something we really need to be worried about. These books will flood the market and a lot of writers are going to be out of work.”
41. What can we know about Brett Schickler from the text?
A. He wanted to be a writer before.
B. He works as a salesman in New York.
C. He spent much time creating his first book.
D. He has made lots of money by selling his book.
42. Which of the following words can show some professional writers’ feelings?
A. Excited and happy. B. Worried and nervous.
C. Angry and disappointed. D. Surprised and pleased.
43. What does the underlined word “flood” mean in paragraph4?
A. Fill. B. Control. C. Explore. D. Serve.
44. From the text, we can infer that ________.
A. writers don’t want to spend money on ChatGPT
B. e-books written by AI are not popular with people at all
C. writers have no interest in using ChatGPT to write books
D. it’s difficult to know how many e-books written by AI there are
45. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. ChatGPT has made our daily lives easier.
B. More people will choose writing as a career.
C. AI has effects on the publishing industry.
D. Everyone can be a writer with the help of AI.
