The Great Gatsby, London Coliseum ★★★★ F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel about America’s lively 1920s gets a new chance to shine in this fancy but somewhat lazy-feeling musical — it won a Tony Award and is moving from Broadway. The exciting music mixes jazz and pop. Booking: Sept. 11 — Dec. 31 Mamma Mia! , Novello Theatre ★★★★ It’s been 24 years since the Abba musical Mamma Mia! first showed in London’s West End. With a new group of great actors, this special Abba musical still draws people of all ages just as well as before. The story is about Donna, a single mom who is poor and owns an old hotel. Booking until: Dec. 13 The Cursed Child, Palace Theatre ★★★★★ Deep down, The Cursed Child is exactly about worry because you have a famous family member from the past, and the dangers of trying to redo old things. This musical has a feeling that everyone can understand. How do we become adults? How do we talk to the family members? It sets a higher standard for fun things that families can enjoy together. Booking until: Dec. 29 The Lion King, London Coliseum ★★★★ This month, the London show of The Lion King is celebrating its 25th year in the city — it’s the fifth show that has run the longest among all West End musicals. This musical has been loved by millions of kids. Grown-ups are still buying tickets quickly to watch it with their own children. Booking until: Nov.26 1. How many musicals can you book on December 15? A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 4. 2. Which one focuses on the improvement of family relationship? A. Mamma Mia! . B. The Lion King. C. The Great Gatsby. D. The Cursed Child. 3. What do The Great Gatsby and The Lion King have in common? A. They are shown in the same theater. B. They have been performed for 25 years. C. They tell stories about a brave family member. D. They won an award before being played in London. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了在伦敦一些剧院正在上演的几个音乐剧和戏剧的相关信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Great Gatsby, London Coliseum部分“Booking: Sept. 11 — Dec. 31(预订时间：9月11日—12月31日)”以及The Cursed Child, Palace Theatre部分“Booking until: Dec. 29(预订截止日期：12月29日)”可知，12月15日仅能预订2个表演：The Great Gatsby和The Cursed Child。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Cursed Child, Palace Theatre部分“How do we talk to the family members? It sets a higher standard for fun things that families can enjoy together.(我们该如何与家庭成员交流呢？这为家庭成员能够共同享受的娱乐活动设定了更高的标准)”可知，The Cursed Child侧重于改善家庭关系。故选D。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The Great Gatsby, London Coliseum(《了不起的盖茨比》，伦敦歌剧院)”以及“The Lion King, London Coliseum (《狮子王》，伦敦歌剧院)”可知，它们在同一家戏院上映。故选A。 B Toronto-based artist Ava Roth is unlike other cooperative artists: instead of working with people, she works with bees. As a painter, embroiderer (刺绣师) and mixed-media artist, she has spent the past decade experimenting with the unique medium of honeycomb (蜂巢). In her latest collection, Roth employs the help of local honeybees to create amazing pieces that perfectly represent the co-existence of human beings and nature. Her works combine various man-made materials with the complex pattern of a raw honeycomb. During the cooperation, Roth’s part of work comes in the form of art picture hung in embroidery circles. Using her mastery of embroidery techniques, she creates designs with thread while including locally found materials, such as wood, plants and horsehair. After she arranges these elements to her liking, the bees come in to add their touch. Roth then attaches the circle to beekeeping frames and places it in a bee box. Over time, thousands of bees fill the frame with honeycomb, changing the piece into its final, fascinating form. The artistic cooperation between the honeybees and Roth’s creativity results in a unique and original work of art. Her direct cooperation with bees is just one aspect of her work. Roth also uses honeycomb in other collections, including sewn paintings, embroidery, and works on paper. In her work, Roth integrates the theme of the human relationship to the natural world, reflecting on how people shape nature to meet their needs and imagining a more beautiful outcome of our encounter. With the role honeybees play in pollinating many of the world’s crops, the species is vital to food production. Despite their essential duty, honeybee populations have been facing a growing decline worldwide, caused by factors such as climate change, habitat loss and pesticides. Roth raises awareness of this extraordinary species’ depopulation through her unique practice, exhibiting their exceptional architectural abilities and essential role in human life. 4. What is special about Ava Roth’s artistic practice? A. She focuses on the theme of nature. B. She employs bees to create artworks. C. She doesn’t cooperate with other artists. D. She only uses natural materials for her art. 5. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3? A. The design of different elements. B. The complex results of art making. C. The difficulty of bonding with bees. D. The unique process of art creation. 6. What can we know about Roth’s work from the text? A. It highlights the exploration of nature. B. It reflects on how nature influences people. C. It advocates the harmony between man and nature. D. It aims to solve the issue of honeybee depopulation. 7. Which of the following best describes the impact of Roth’s practice? A. Far-reaching. B. Unrecognizable. C. Short-lived. D. Flexible. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了多伦多艺术家Ava Roth与蜜蜂合作创作独特艺术作品，倡导人与自然和谐共处。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Toronto-based artist Ava Roth is unlike other cooperative artists: instead of working with people, she works with bees.(多伦多艺术家Ava Roth与其他合作艺术家不同：她不是与人合作，而是与蜜蜂合作。)”和第二段中“In her latest collection, Roth employs the help of local honeybees to create amazing pieces that perfectly represent the co-existence of human beings and nature. (在最新系列作品中，罗斯邀请当地蜜蜂助力创作，打造出一件件精妙绝伦的作品，完美诠释了人与自然共生共存的理念。)”可知，Ava Roth的艺术实践的特别之处在于她使用蜜蜂来创作艺术品。故选B。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“During the cooperation, Roth’s part of work comes in the form of art picture hung in embroidery circles. Using her mastery of embroidery techniques, she creates designs with thread while including locally found materials, such as wood, plants and horsehair. After she arranges these elements to her liking, the bees come in to add their touch. Roth then attaches the circle to beekeeping frames and places it in a bee box. Over time, thousands of bees fill the frame with honeycomb, changing the piece into its final, fascinating form.(在合作过程中，Roth的工作以挂在刺绣圈中的艺术图片的形式呈现。她运用精湛的刺绣技巧，用线创作图案，同时加入当地找到的材料，如木头、植物和马毛。在她按照自己的喜好排列这些元素后，蜜蜂就会来添加它们自己的触感。然后，Roth将这个圆圈固定在养蜂框架上，并将其放入一个蜜蜂箱中。随着时间的推移，成千上万的蜜蜂用蜂巢填满框架，将这件作品变成最终迷人的形式。)”可知，第三段主要讲述了Roth与蜜蜂合作创作艺术品的独特过程。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“In her latest collection, Roth employs the help of local honeybees to create amazing pieces that perfectly represent the co-existence of human beings and nature.(在她最新的系列作品中，Roth借助当地蜜蜂的帮助，创作出令人惊叹的作品，完美地代表了人类与自然的共存。)”以及第四段中“In her work, Roth integrates the theme of the human relationship to the natural world, reflecting on how people shape nature to meet their needs and imagining a more beautiful outcome of our encounter.(在她的作品中，Roth融合了人类与自然世界关系的主题，反思了人们如何塑造自然以满足自己的需求，并想象了我们相遇的更美好的结果。)”可推知，Roth的作品倡导人与自然的和谐共处。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“With the role honeybees play in pollinating many of the world’s crops, the species is vital to food production. Despite their essential duty, honeybee populations have been facing a growing decline worldwide, caused by factors such as climate change, habitat loss and pesticides. Roth raises awareness of this extraordinary species’ depopulation through her unique practice, exhibiting their exceptional architectural abilities and essential role in human life.(蜜蜂在为世界上许多作物授粉方面发挥着重要作用，因此这个物种对粮食生产至关重要。尽管它们承担着重要职责，但由于气候变化、栖息地丧失和杀虫剂等因素，蜜蜂数量在全球范围内正面临日益减少的问题。Roth通过她独特的实践，提高了人们对这种非凡物种数量减少的认识，展示了它们非凡的建筑能力和在人类生活中的重要作用。)”可推知，Roth的实践产生了深远的影响，提高了人们对蜜蜂数量减少的认识。故选A。 C Do you have a suit or dress in the closet that you haven’t worn for years but are unwilling to get rid of? Maybe you say, “I can’t throw that away because I paid good money for it.” If you recognize this in yourself, then you are suffering from commitment to the sunk cost fallacy (谬论). It occurs when we feel that we have invested too much to quit. This psychological trap causes us to stick with a plan even if it no longer serves us and the costs clearly outweigh the benefits. Arkes and Blumer conducted a survey revealing that people are influenced by sunk cost fallacy in their decisions. Participants were asked to imagine a situation where they accidentally booked two ski tickets for the same date, spending $100 on a ski trip to Michigan and $50 on Wisconsin. They were also told the latter would be more enjoyable. It turned out that 54% chose Michigan despite the reasonable choice being Wisconsin, because they had made a greater initial investment. Sunk cost fallacy takes place when we let emotions cloud our decisions. Once we’ve invested in a choice, we feel guilt or regret if we don’t follow through, without realizing that past investments won’t be recovered. Instead, we base decisions on past costs, ignoring present and future costs and benefits. This may be due to loss aversion (厌恶), where people place more weight on losses than on gains. As a result, our decisions often aim to avoid losses instead of seeking the benefits gained if we let go of the past commitment. No one can deny the fact that we benefit a lot from perseverance. So our society loves to emphasize perseverance. Never give up! Don’t waste! But only you know the right path for you. Sometimes walking away is the hardest choice of all. You might realize a path you’re on is no longer the right one or never was. That’s a painful realization. 8. What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text? A. People benefit from sticking with a plan. B. People’s consumption view has changed. C. People refuse to give up the past commitment. D. People’s clothes are becoming more expensive. 9. Why did 54% of the participants choose the Michigan trip? A. To appear more reasonable. B. To save more of the loss. C. To make a greater investment. D. To enjoy more of themselves. 10. When does “sunk cost fallacy” occur? A. When we don’t follow through our choices. B. When we attach more importance to potential gains. C. When we feel it worthwhile to invest in past decisions. D. When we emotionally stick with investment already made. 11. What is the author’s attitude toward “perseverance”? A. Cautious. B. Favorable. C. Disapproving. D. Indifferent. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了“沉没成本谬误”这一心理现象，通过调查实验分析其成因，解释了人们为何会因过去的投入而难以放弃某个计划或选择，即使该计划或选择已不再合理，并探讨坚持的利弊，指出有时放弃是更明智的选择。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Do you have a suit or dress in the closet that you haven’t worn for years but are unwilling to get rid of? Maybe you say, “I can’t throw that away because I paid good money for it.” If you recognize this in yourself, then you are suffering from commitment to the sunk cost fallacy (谬论).(你的衣柜里有没有一套多年没穿过但又不愿意扔掉的西装或连衣裙？也许你会说：“我不能把它扔掉，因为我花了很多钱买的。”如果你在自己身上发现了这种情况，那你就陷入了‘沉没成本谬误’的执念中。)”可知，作者在文章开头描述了人们拒绝放弃过去的投入这一现象。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It turned out that 54% chose Michigan despite the reasonable choice being Wisconsin, because they had made a greater initial investment.(结果显示，尽管合理的选择是威斯康星州，但仍有54%的人选择了密歇根州，因为他们最初的投入更大)”可知，54%的参与者选择密歇根州滑雪之旅是因为他们最初的投入更大，他们想减少损失。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Sunk cost fallacy takes place when we let emotions cloud our decisions. Once we’ve invested in a choice, we feel guilt or regret if we don’t follow through, without realizing that past investments won’t be recovered.(当我们让情绪影响我们的决定时，就会产生沉没成本谬论。一旦我们对一个选择进行了投资，如果我们不坚持到底，我们就会感到内疚或后悔，却没有意识到过去的投资是无法收回的)”可知，当我们从情感上坚持已经做出的投资时，就会出现“沉没成本谬误”。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“No one can deny the fact that we benefit a lot from perseverance. So our society loves to emphasize perseverance. Never give up! Don’t waste! But only you know the right path for you. Sometimes walking away is the hardest choice of all. You might realize a path you’re on is no longer the right one or never was. That’s a painful realization.(没有人能否认我们从坚持中获益匪浅。所以我们的社会喜欢强调坚持。永不放弃！不要浪费！但只有你知道什么是对的路。有时候，离开是最难的选择。你可能会意识到你所走的路不再是正确的，或者从来都不是正确的。这是一个痛苦的认识)”可知，作者认为虽然坚持有好处，但有时离开才是正确的选择，说明作者对“坚持”持谨慎态度。故选A项。 D Over a decade ago, the science fiction series Black Mirror showed a story about using artificial intelligence to bring back loved ones. Thanks to technological advancement, the latest AI resurrection technology brings hope of recreating loved ones through virtual form. Recently, it was revealed that renowned musician Tino Bao had created a digital version of his daughter, who in 2021 passed away due to a rare disease at the age of 22. With the help of Xiaoice, Microsoft Asia’s AI branch based in China, Bao was able to recreate his daughter Bao Rong as an AI-powered virtual figure. Tino Bao, his family and the team went to great lengths to piece together pictures, audio-visual recordings, and narrated memories of Rong. After thousands of trials and errors, they presented the life-like digital human who speaks in both Mandarin and English. Bao has finally launched a company to bring the technological miracle to other families experiencing such loss. However, this technological achievement has also been accompanied by many controversies. The idea of bringing back a loved one through AI may seem comforting. Still, researchers caution that constantly interacting with an AI version of a deceased loved one could potentially affect the natural grieving (悲伤) process, leaving individuals stuck in a state of denial. This could lead to prolonged grief and other mental health issues. Furthermore, there’s a risk that people may become overly dependent on the technology, prioritizing their interactions with the AI version over forming new, real-life relationships. With the case of Bao Rong out in the open, AI resurrection has become a business. From simple “talking pictures” that sound nothing like the loved ones to deepfake videos of actors speaking with the faces of those who passed away, the lower end of the market is more “artificial” than “intelligent”. Therefore, it is crucial to establish proper regulations and ethical standards to ensure that the use of AI-resurrection technology is safe and responsible. 12. What does the underlined word “resurrection” in para.1 most likely mean? A. The act of bringing something back to life or existence. B. The process of improving AI technology. C. The development of new virtual forms. D. The combination of memories and technology. 13. What is a possible consequence of constantly interacting with an AI version of a deceased loved one? A. It may cause people to forget the real memories of the loved one. B. It may prevent people from using other AI technologies. C. It may prolong the natural grieving process and cause mental health problems. D. It may lead to the decline of the AI industry. 14. Which of the following statements about the future of AI resurrection technology is correct? A. It will eventually replace traditional ways of memorizing loved ones. B. It needs proper regulations and ethical standards to ensure safe and responsible use. C. It will be completely banned due to ethical concerns. D. It will develop healthily without proper regulations. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The introduction of the science fiction series Black Mirror. B. The process of creating an AI version of a loved one. C. The benefits and controversies of using AI to recreate loved ones. D. The development of AI technology in the field of music. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲的是近年来，随着社会的不断发展，一种新的应用逐渐兴起：通过人工智能技术来“复活”逝去的亲人。然而，这项技术在带给人们慰藉的同时，也引发了诸多争议，其中不乏道德与法律问题。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段中“bring back loved ones(把爱的人带回来)”和第二段“Recently, it was revealed that renowned musician Tino Bao had created a digital version of his daughter, who in 2021 passed away(最近，有消息称，著名音乐家Tino Bao为他于2021年去世的女儿制作了一个数字版本)”可知，此处是在讲通过AI让逝去的亲人以某种形式“复活”，所以“resurrection”在这里指让事物复活或重新存在的行为，即The act of bringing something back to life or existence。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Still, researchers caution that constantly interacting with an AI version of a deceased loved one could potentially affect the natural grieving (悲伤) process, leaving individuals stuck in a state of denial. This could lead to prolonged grief and other mental health issues.(尽管如此，研究人员警告说，不断与已故亲人的人工智能版本互动可能会影响自然的悲伤过程，使个人陷入否认状态。这可能会导致长期的悲伤和其他心理健康问题。)”可知，不断与已故亲人的人工智能版本互动可能会延长自然悲伤的过程，并导致心理健康问题。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Therefore, it is crucial to establish proper regulations and ethical standards to ensure that the use of AI-resurrection technology is safe and responsible.(因此，建立适当的法规和道德标准，以确保人工智能复活技术的使用是安全和负责任的，这一点至关重要)”可知，AI复活技术需要适当的法规和道德标准来确保安全和负责任的使用，B选项的表述正确。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Thanks to technological advancement, the latest AI resurrection technology brings hope of recreating loved ones through virtual form.(由于技术的进步，最新的人工智能复活技术带来了通过虚拟形式重新创造亲人的希望)”和第三段“However, this technological achievement has also been accompanied by many controversies.(然而，这一技术成就也伴随着许多争议)”可知，本文主要讲的是近年来，随着社会的不断发展，一种新的应用逐渐兴起：通过人工智能技术来“复活”逝去的亲人。然而，这项技术在带给人们慰藉的同时，也引发了诸多争议，因此本文的主旨是C选项“The benefits and controversies of using AI to recreate loved ones.(使用人工智能重塑亲人的好处和争议)”。故选C。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读短文，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。 As an artist who shares her journey on social media, I’m often asked by curious followers how to begin an art journey.

These small studies provide inspiration and may be a springboard for more complex works in the future. (从小开始。我建议使用一个素描本进行小规模的学习和实践。这些小的学习和实践可以提供灵感，并成为未来更复杂的作品的跳板)”以及后文“You’ll want to look back on your journey to see how far you’ve come. (你会想要回顾一下自己的艺术之旅，看看自己已经取得多少进步)”可知，空处应是一个过渡句，从给出建议使用一个素描本进行小规模的学习和实践，到回顾自己的艺术之旅，所以C项“Don’t throw away your beginner art. (不要扔掉你的初学时的艺术作品)”符合文意，和后文形成顺承关系。故选C项。 【17题详解】 分析设空处，位于段尾，是对本段的总结，根据前文“Paint often and paint from life. There’s no better way to improve than to put in those brush miles.

(经常作画，且从生活中作画。没有什么比不断练习更能提高你的艺术水平了。无论你是绘制静物、肖像还是风景，都要尽可能地从真实生活中去观察和绘制)”可知，本段主要讲述不断练习绘画，所以G项“You’ll develop that painting muscle memory that only comes with repetition. (你会逐渐形成只有通过反复练习才能获得的绘画肌肉记忆)”是对前文的总结。故选G项。 【18题详解】 分析设空处，空处位于第二句，此处应是对前一句的进一步解释，并同时引出后文，根据前文“Continually challenge yourself to try something new. (不断挑战自己，尝试新事物)”以及后文“Artistic growth can be a bit painful. (艺术的成长可能会有点痛苦)”可知，A项“Get out of your comfort zone. (走出你的舒适区)”是对前句的进一步说明，和后文构成顺承关系。故选A项。 【19题详解】 分析设空处，位于段首，是本段的中心句，根据后文“Seeking and accepting constructive feedback (反馈) is crucial to growth.

(寻求并接受有建设性的反馈对于你的成长非常重要。我在社交媒体上发布我的作品，并因此结识了一些最友好的人。无论我的艺术水平如何，他们都让我感到受到了重视和尊重)”可知，本段主要讲述了是分享自己的作品，所以D项“Share your work if you feel comfortable doing so. (如果你感觉舒适的话，分享你的作品)”符合文意，是本段的中心句。故选D项。 【20题详解】 分析设空处，空处位于第二句，此处应是对前一句的进一步解释，并同时引出后文，根据前文“The journey you’re on won’t follow a straight path. (你的旅程不会是一条笔直的道路)”以及后文“Push through, give it time and put in the effort. You will harvest the rewards of an artistic life.

To be successful in life in the broadest sense, you must pursue your passion. ____25____ it is fixing cars or exploring the world, you must be passionate about your ____26____ and set a path to achieve it.

I made a conscious self-examination of my short life to ____29____ where my passion was hiding. It was so ____30____ that even my kid sister could have told me. My true passion was music.

Feeling sad for the bird, Albert petted it gently and wanted to help it, but he didn’t know how since he was just 7 years old. So he took the bird in his hands, carried it carefully home and showed it to his parents. At once, his parents took action. They washed the bird and found it injured. With the help of his parents, Albert dressed the wound. But it would need time and care for the bird to completely recover. As the bird had become dear to his heart, Albert immediately offered to care for the bird. Albert named his new friend “Lucky”. He began to feed the bird and he even ran out to collect grass to build a soft nest for the bird. Then, he put the nest beside his bed. Albert and the bird were sleeping together and living together. Soon they became close friends. Albert always told it about his experiences in school and his secrets. Lucky, an extremely patient audience, usually responded to him with a few nods and chirps (叽叽喳喳声). Albert’s parents also loved Lucky. They regarded it as a family member. In the course of time, Lucky gradually recovered and started to hop (脚跳) and jump a little bit and exercise its wings. That made everyone happier. Soon it would be able to fly. How wonderful! But what then? Albert became thoughtful and started to think. “If Lucky started to fly, it could simply fly away one day.” But that would not happen. Albert loved his friend so much that he couldn’t imagine parting with it. He wondered, “I should surely stay with Lucky forever. But how? Keep the windows closed all the time? That was not practical.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then, he bought a small cage and kept Lucky in it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Worried and confused, he didn’t know what to do about it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Then, he bought a small cage and kept Lucky in it. In the beginning, Lucky seemed fine inside it. He believed he had made the right choice to keep Lucky close and secure. However, as time passed, things took a turn for the worse. After a fully recovery, Lucky wanted to spread its wing sand fly in the sky. When all its attempts failed, what Lucky could do was sitting inside the little cage and squawking sadly. Several days later, Lucky refused to eat and drink. Worried and confused, he didn’t know what to do about it. Knowing the bad situation, Albert’s parents decided to help Lucky and their son. They told their son, “If you really love Lucky, you should think of how to make it happy.” After careful consideration, Albert opened both his heart and the cage. Lucky was released and flew away. Two weeks later, a wonderful thing happened: Lucky returned, flying around Albert and chirped happily, seeming to say thanks to him. This had happened from time to time since then. Instead of losing a forced friend, Albert had made a permanent one. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了有一天，艾伯特发现了一只受伤的小鸟，于是带回家照顾，取名Lucky。随着时间的推移，Lucky逐渐恢复，但是艾伯特却不愿意释放小鸟，于是Lucky被关进了笼子里。Lucky变得十分悲伤，开始拒绝进食，最终艾伯特的父母劝说艾伯特释放了小鸟。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后，他买了一个小笼子，把Lucky关在里面”可知，第一段可描写Lucky无法飞翔，变得悲伤不吃饭。 ②由第二段首句内容“他又担心又困惑，不知道该怎么办”可知，第二段可描写父母劝说艾伯特，最终释放了小鸟。 2.续写线索：Lucky被关进笼子——Lucky尝试飞翔失败——Lucky悲伤——Lucky拒绝进食——艾伯特父母劝说——Lucky被释放 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①时间流逝：pass/go by ②拒绝：refuse/turn down ③释放：release/free 情绪类 ①悲伤：sadly/sorrowfully ②快乐：happy/glad 【点睛】[高分句型1] He believed he had made the right choice to keep Lucky close and secure.

B Toronto-based artist Ava Roth is unlike other cooperative artists: instead of working with people, she works with bees. As a painter, embroiderer (刺绣师) and mixed-media artist, she has spent the past decade experimenting with the unique medium of honeycomb (蜂巢). In her latest collection, Roth employs the help of local honeybees to create amazing pieces that perfectly represent the co-existence of human beings and nature. Her works combine various man-made materials with the complex pattern of a raw honeycomb. During the cooperation, Roth’s part of work comes in the form of art picture hung in embroidery circles. Using her mastery of embroidery techniques, she creates designs with thread while including locally found materials, such as wood, plants and horsehair. After she arranges these elements to her liking, the bees come in to add their touch. Roth then attaches the circle to beekeeping frames and places it in a bee box. Over time, thousands of bees fill the frame with honeycomb, changing the piece into its final, fascinating form. The artistic cooperation between the honeybees and Roth’s creativity results in a unique and original work of art. Her direct cooperation with bees is just one aspect of her work. Roth also uses honeycomb in other collections, including sewn paintings, embroidery, and works on paper. In her work, Roth integrates the theme of the human relationship to the natural world, reflecting on how people shape nature to meet their needs and imagining a more beautiful outcome of our encounter. With the role honeybees play in pollinating many of the world’s crops, the species is vital to food production. Despite their essential duty, honeybee populations have been facing a growing decline worldwide, caused by factors such as climate change, habitat loss and pesticides. Roth raises awareness of this extraordinary species’ depopulation through her unique practice, exhibiting their exceptional architectural abilities and essential role in human life. 4. What is special about Ava Roth’s artistic practice? A. She focuses on the theme of nature. B. She employs bees to create artworks. C. She doesn’t cooperate with other artists. D. She only uses natural materials for her art. 5. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3? A. The design of different elements. B. The complex results of art making. C. The difficulty of bonding with bees. D. The unique process of art creation. 6. What can we know about Roth’s work from the text? A. It highlights the exploration of nature. B. It reflects on how nature influences people. C. It advocates the harmony between man and nature. D. It aims to solve the issue of honeybee depopulation. 7. Which of the following best describes the impact of Roth’s practice? A. Far-reaching. B. Unrecognizable. C. Short-lived. D. Flexible. C Do you have a suit or dress in the closet that you haven’t worn for years but are unwilling to get rid of? Maybe you say, “I can’t throw that away because I paid good money for it.” If you recognize this in yourself, then you are suffering from commitment to the sunk cost fallacy (谬论). It occurs when we feel that we have invested too much to quit. This psychological trap causes us to stick with a plan even if it no longer serves us and the costs clearly outweigh the benefits. Arkes and Blumer conducted a survey revealing that people are influenced by sunk cost fallacy in their decisions. Participants were asked to imagine a situation where they accidentally booked two ski tickets for the same date, spending $100 on a ski trip to Michigan and $50 on Wisconsin. They were also told the latter would be more enjoyable. It turned out that 54% chose Michigan despite the reasonable choice being Wisconsin, because they had made a greater initial investment. Sunk cost fallacy takes place when we let emotions cloud our decisions. Once we’ve invested in a choice, we feel guilt or regret if we don’t follow through, without realizing that past investments won’t be recovered. Instead, we base decisions on past costs, ignoring present and future costs and benefits. This may be due to loss aversion (厌恶), where people place more weight on losses than on gains. As a result, our decisions often aim to avoid losses instead of seeking the benefits gained if we let go of the past commitment. No one can deny the fact that we benefit a lot from perseverance. So our society loves to emphasize perseverance. Never give up! Don’t waste! But only you know the right path for you. Sometimes walking away is the hardest choice of all. You might realize a path you’re on is no longer the right one or never was. That’s a painful realization. 8. What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text? A. People benefit from sticking with a plan. B. People’s consumption view has changed. C. People refuse to give up the past commitment. D. People’s clothes are becoming more expensive. 9. Why did 54% of the participants choose the Michigan trip? A. To appear more reasonable. B. To save more of the loss. C. To make a greater investment. D. To enjoy more of themselves. 10. When does “sunk cost fallacy” occur? A. When we don’t follow through our choices. B. When we attach more importance to potential gains. C. When we feel it worthwhile to invest in past decisions. D. When we emotionally stick with investment already made. 11. What is the author’s attitude toward “perseverance”? A. Cautious. B. Favorable. C. Disapproving. D. Indifferent. D Over a decade ago, the science fiction series Black Mirror showed a story about using artificial intelligence to bring back loved ones. Thanks to technological advancement, the latest AI resurrection technology brings hope of recreating loved ones through virtual form. Recently, it was revealed that renowned musician Tino Bao had created a digital version of his daughter, who in 2021 passed away due to a rare disease at the age of 22. With the help of Xiaoice, Microsoft Asia’s AI branch based in China, Bao was able to recreate his daughter Bao Rong as an AI-powered virtual figure. Tino Bao, his family and the team went to great lengths to piece together pictures, audio-visual recordings, and narrated memories of Rong. After thousands of trials and errors, they presented the life-like digital human who speaks in both Mandarin and English. Bao has finally launched a company to bring the technological miracle to other families experiencing such loss. However, this technological achievement has also been accompanied by many controversies. The idea of bringing back a loved one through AI may seem comforting. Still, researchers caution that constantly interacting with an AI version of a deceased loved one could potentially affect the natural grieving (悲伤) process, leaving individuals stuck in a state of denial. This could lead to prolonged grief and other mental health issues. Furthermore, there’s a risk that people may become overly dependent on the technology, prioritizing their interactions with the AI version over forming new, real-life relationships. With the case of Bao Rong out in the open, AI resurrection has become a business. From simple “talking pictures” that sound nothing like the loved ones to deepfake videos of actors speaking with the faces of those who passed away, the lower end of the market is more “artificial” than “intelligent”. Therefore, it is crucial to establish proper regulations and ethical standards to ensure that the use of AI-resurrection technology is safe and responsible. 12. What does the underlined word “resurrection” in para.1 most likely mean? A. The act of bringing something back to life or existence. B. The process of improving AI technology. C. The development of new virtual forms. D. The combination of memories and technology. 13. What is a possible consequence of constantly interacting with an AI version of a deceased loved one? A. It may cause people to forget the real memories of the loved one. B. It may prevent people from using other AI technologies. C. It may prolong the natural grieving process and cause mental health problems. D. It may lead to the decline of the AI industry. 14. Which of the following statements about the future of AI resurrection technology is correct? A. It will eventually replace traditional ways of memorizing loved ones. B. It needs proper regulations and ethical standards to ensure safe and responsible use. C. It will be completely banned due to ethical concerns. D. It will develop healthily without proper regulations. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The introduction of the science fiction series Black Mirror. B. The process of creating an AI version of a loved one. C. The benefits and controversies of using AI to recreate loved ones. D. The development of AI technology in the field of music. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读短文，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。 As an artist who shares her journey on social media, I’m often asked by curious followers how to begin an art journey.

These small studies provide inspiration and may be a springboard for more complex works in the future. ___16___ You’ll want to look back on your journey to see how far you’ve come. ·Paint often and paint from life. There’s no better way to improve than to put in those brush miles. Whether you paint still lifes, portraits, or landscapes, paint from life as much as possible. ___17___ ·Continually challenge yourself to try something new. ___18___ Artistic growth can be a bit painful. Welcome to the club；we’ve all been there. I love taking on challenges. I once took up a challenge to create a painting every day for a month and post the works online. ·___19___ Seeking and accepting constructive feedback (反馈) is crucial to growth. I post my work on social media and, in turn, have met some of the kindest people. They make me feel valued and respected, no matter my level of artistic ability. The journey you’re on won’t follow a straight path. ___20___ Push through, give it time and put in the effort. You will harvest the rewards of an artistic life. A. Get out of your comfort zone. B.

Feeling sad for the bird, Albert petted it gently and wanted to help it, but he didn’t know how since he was just 7 years old. So he took the bird in his hands, carried it carefully home and showed it to his parents. At once, his parents took action. They washed the bird and found it injured. With the help of his parents, Albert dressed the wound. But it would need time and care for the bird to completely recover. As the bird had become dear to his heart, Albert immediately offered to care for the bird. Albert named his new friend “Lucky”. He began to feed the bird and he even ran out to collect grass to build a soft nest for the bird. Then, he put the nest beside his bed. Albert and the bird were sleeping together and living together. Soon they became close friends. Albert always told it about his experiences in school and his secrets. Lucky, an extremely patient audience, usually responded to him with a few nods and chirps (叽叽喳喳声). Albert’s parents also loved Lucky. They regarded it as a family member. In the course of time, Lucky gradually recovered and started to hop (脚跳) and jump a little bit and exercise its wings. That made everyone happier. Soon it would be able to fly. How wonderful! But what then? Albert became thoughtful and started to think. “If Lucky started to fly, it could simply fly away one day.” But that would not happen. Albert loved his friend so much that he couldn’t imagine parting with it. He wondered, “I should surely stay with Lucky forever. But how? Keep the windows closed all the time? That was not practical.” 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then, he bought a small cage and kept Lucky in it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Worried and confused, he didn’t know what to do about it. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
