When I was a little girl, I remembered that when my dad was repairing something, he would ask me to hold the hammer, so we would have time for a conversation with each other. I never saw my dad drinking or taking a night out. All he did after work was taking care of his family.
I grew up and left home for college and since then, my dad had been calling me every Sunday morning. And when I bought a house several years later, my dad painted it by himself in the fierce summer heat. All he asked was to talk to him, but I was too busy in those days.
Four years ago, my dad visited me. He spent many hours putting together a swing for my daughter. He asked me to have a talk with him, but I had to prepare for a trip that weekend.
One Sunday morning we had a telephone talk as usual. I noticed that my dad had forgotten some things that we discussed lately. I was in a hurry, so our conversation was short. Several hours later that day I received a call. My father was in the hospital. Immediately, I bought a plane ticket and on my way I was thinking about all the occasions I missed to have a talk with my dad. By the time I arrived at the hospital, my father had passed away. Now it was he who did not have time for a conversation with me. I realized how little I knew about my dad, his deepest thoughts and his dreams.
After his death I learned much more about him and even more about myself. All he ever wanted was my time. And now he has all my attention every single day.
24. When the author was a little girl, she ________.
A learned to take care of her family B. often talked with her father
C. was good at repairing things D. liked playing on the swing
25. When at college, the author ________.
A. asked her father to call her every Sunday
B. received a call from her father every Sunday morning
C. phoned her father every Sunday morning
D. asked her father to talk with her
26. Why did the author fail to have a talk with her father four years ago?
A. She was busy planning a trip.
B. She was busy painting her house.
C. Her daughter asked her to play.
D. She had got tired of talking with him.
27. When did the author begin to regret missing the talks with her father?
A. As soon as she got the news that her father was ill.
B. After her father’s sudden death.
C. Many years after her father’s death.
D. On her way to the hospital to see her father.
C
On Perranporth beach in Cornwall, the local outdoor swimming group, the Perranporth Bluetits, jump into the Atlantic on cold days. Their friendship and sense of achievement are obvious. Encouraged by such refreshing experiences, community groups and the voluntary area have started designing “blue care” programmes to connect people with water. Some doctors even strongly recommend “bluespace” activities.
Encouraged by the health benefits of open water swimming, my team and I did the largest survey of open-water swimmers to date. Our study, published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology, shows that wild swimming improves mental (心理的) health by satisfying mental needs like freedom and control in the water.
As part of the Blue Health project, we surveyed around 20,000 adults in 19 countries about their interactions (互动) with blue spaces and their health. Among them, 1,200 reported swimming in blue spaces, including open-air pools, lakes, rivers and the sea. Wild swimming has more important benefits.
Surprisingly though, social connection did not play as big a role in these effects on mental health as we had expected, although the number of community swimming groups like the Perranporth Bluetits is increasing. At least in this international group, personal achievement seemed to be more influential than community connection. However, more skilled swimmers, who often choose adventurous places, sometimes reported higher anxiety (焦虑) levels. This suggests that wild swimming can be good but also challenging.
These findings add to earlier research on open-water swimming. They show that this activity is good for the physical and mental health of adults from different countries, explain how these benefits happen, and point out the discrepancy between natural waters and man-made outdoor pools. So, should we all be jumping in and recommending such experiences for better mental health?
The research does not quite support that yet. We need to be realistic about some of the other challenges our oceans face, such as drowning (溺水) risks and polluted waters. Still, our results support research into recommending getting close to nature to improve certain health conditions. This is something that the UK government is prepared to spend millions on.
28. What is the activity of the Perranporth Bluetits according to paragraph 1?
A. Running on the beach. B. Playing in indoor pools.
C. Doing scientific research. D. Swimming in the Atlantic.
29. How does wild swimming improve mental health?
A. By reducing anxiety levels. B. By meeting mental needs.
C. By improving social connection. D. By increasing body strength.
30. What does the underlined word “discrepancy” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Connection. B. Problem. C. Difference. D. Balance.
31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Wild swimming is risk-free for mental health.
B. Polluted waters are worse than drowning risks.
C. Research advises everyone to try wild swimming.
D. The UK supports health studies on nature connection.
D
As we live longer and technology continues its rapid development, we can imagine a future where machines will enlarge our human abilities and help us make better life choices, from health to wealth. Through our dialogue and digital pieces, artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) will understand our life goals and wishes, our duties and limitations. It will help us plan different life events, so we can spend more time enjoying life’s moments.
The ability for AI to understand the complexities and slight differences of human conversation is, however, one hurdle (障碍). There are several thousand known living languages in the world today. Adding to the difficulties are the varied ways words are shared and used across different cultures, including grammar, levels of education and styles of the speakers. Google Duplex, the technology supporting Google Assistant, which places phone calls using a natural-sounding human voice instead of a robotic one, is an early attempt to address such challenges in human communications. But these are just initial whispers in voice of AI’s long journey.
Beyond making reservations and conducting simple dialogues, virtual assistants will need to become far more useful and further fit into the parts of our everyday lives. Not only will they need to foresee what we need before we ask, they also need to understand the context of our conversations and react accordingly. Imagine a snow day when school is canceled for the kids. Knowing that you must now stay at home with your children, your phone would remind you, asking if you’d like your meetings moved to the following day. Alternatively, imagine how much more pleasant your journey home from a business trip would be if your phone could automatically arrange for a ride waiting to pick you up at the airport, based on your travel plan, location, and habits. The possibilities are endless.
32. What do we know about AI?
A. It narrows our abilities. B. It limits our better choice.
C. It helps us enjoy life better. D. It doesn’t know our limitations.
33. What makes it hard for AI to understand what humans say?
A. Low level of speakers. B. Varieties of languages and cultures.
C. Imperfection of AI. D. Similarities between languages.
34. Which word can best describe the author’s attitude towards AI?
A. Supportive. B. Uncaring. C. Worried. D. Doubtful.
35. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A. AI Will Replace Humans B. AI Will Set Goals for Us
C. AI Will Meet Challenges D. AI Will Be Part of Our Daily Lives

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整短文。
Teresa and I had been good friends for many years. We had many common interests and could stay up all night talking on the phone, laughing until our sides hurt. We were always there for each other when we needed to vent (发泄), cry or celebrate. We were so close that we could read each other’s minds and finish each other’s sentences. That all changed when we had a huge disagreement and parted ways.
The disagreement happened during a big school science fair. We were partners, but Teresa accidentally broke our project right before the judging (评审). I was so angry that I shouted at her in a bad voice and said she ruined everything on purpose. We both said hurtful things and never spoke again after that day.
There wasn’t a day that passed when I didn’t think of her or miss her. I often thought of reaching out to her to say sorry to her. But then I would think, if she cared, why hasn’t she gotten in touch with me? One other thing that we had in common was that we were both very stubborn (固执的).
It was Teresa’s birthday that day, which made me look for her on social media. She had a common name, but I finally found her photo, with her famous broad smile and beautiful hair. I also noticed she had liked a few of my old photos recently — a sign that maybe she missed me too.
I sent her a message online and expressed how much I’d missed her throughout these days and what she meant to me. I mentioned a few silly memories we had had together. I told her that I was grateful that she was there for me when I was going through a hard time. I ended the message by asking her if she would like to meet one day. And I wished her a happy birthday.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Hours passed like days before a reply finally appeared on the screen.

The next day as I sat in the restaurant, a familiar voice called my name.

M: Yes, it is. I’m just checking the schedule on my phone and it says it should be here right now. But it came by five minutes ago. I guess it came early. The next one comes in half an hour.
W: Oh, I’m going to be late for a conference. I would have driven, but my car is at the repair shop.
M: That’s too bad. Are you living around here?
W: Yes, I’ve been here for one month! I used to live downtown, but I prefer it out here, where the environment is much better.
M: I know what you mean. And what I like most about this area is the low cost of living. The only problem is that going to the city center takes a lot longer.
W: Oh, I’m really late. Maybe I should just take a taxi. Are you going to Main Street as well? Do you want to share a taxi there?

When I was a little girl, I remembered that when my dad was repairing something, he would ask me to hold the hammer, so we would have time for a conversation with each other. I never saw my dad drinking or taking a night out. All he did after work was taking care of his family.
I grew up and left home for college and since then, my dad had been calling me every Sunday morning. And when I bought a house several years later, my dad painted it by himself in the fierce summer heat. All he asked was to talk to him, but I was too busy in those days.
Four years ago, my dad visited me. He spent many hours putting together a swing for my daughter. He asked me to have a talk with him, but I had to prepare for a trip that weekend.
One Sunday morning we had a telephone talk as usual. I noticed that my dad had forgotten some things that we discussed lately. I was in a hurry, so our conversation was short. Several hours later that day I received a call. My father was in the hospital. Immediately, I bought a plane ticket and on my way I was thinking about all the occasions I missed to have a talk with my dad. By the time I arrived at the hospital, my father had passed away. Now it was he who did not have time for a conversation with me. I realized how little I knew about my dad, his deepest thoughts and his dreams.
After his death I learned much more about him and even more about myself. All he ever wanted was my time. And now he has all my attention every single day.
24. When the author was a little girl, she ________.

On Perranporth beach in Cornwall, the local outdoor swimming group, the Perranporth Bluetits, jump into the Atlantic on cold days. Their friendship and sense of achievement are obvious. Encouraged by such refreshing experiences, community groups and the voluntary area have started designing “blue care” programmes to connect people with water. Some doctors even strongly recommend “bluespace” activities.
Encouraged by the health benefits of open water swimming, my team and I did the largest survey of open-water swimmers to date. Our study, published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology, shows that wild swimming improves mental (心理的) health by satisfying mental needs like freedom and control in the water.
As part of the Blue Health project, we surveyed around 20,000 adults in 19 countries about their interactions (互动) with blue spaces and their health. Among them, 1,200 reported swimming in blue spaces, including open-air pools, lakes, rivers and the sea. Wild swimming has more important benefits.
Surprisingly though, social connection did not play as big a role in these effects on mental health as we had expected, although the number of community swimming groups like the Perranporth Bluetits is increasing. At least in this international group, personal achievement seemed to be more influential than community connection. However, more skilled swimmers, who often choose adventurous places, sometimes reported higher anxiety (焦虑) levels. This suggests that wild swimming can be good but also challenging.
These findings add to earlier research on open-water swimming. They show that this activity is good for the physical and mental health of adults from different countries, explain how these benefits happen, and point out the discrepancy between natural waters and man-made outdoor pools. So, should we all be jumping in and recommending such experiences for better mental health?
The research does not quite support that yet. We need to be realistic about some of the other challenges our oceans face, such as drowning (溺水) risks and polluted waters. Still, our results support research into recommending getting close to nature to improve certain health conditions. This is something that the UK government is prepared to spend millions on.
28. What is the activity of the Perranporth Bluetits according to paragraph 1?
A. Running on the beach. B. Playing in indoor pools.
C. Doing scientific research. D. Swimming in the Atlantic.
29. How does wild swimming improve mental health?
A. By reducing anxiety levels. B. By meeting mental needs.
C. By improving social connection. D. By increasing body strength.
30 What does the underlined word “discrepancy” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Connection. B. Problem. C. Difference. D. Balance.
31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Wild swimming is risk-free for mental health.
B. Polluted waters are worse than drowning risks.
C. Research advises everyone to try wild swimming.
D. The UK supports health studies on nature connection.
【答案】28 D 29. B 30. C 31. D
【解析】

As we live longer and technology continues its rapid development, we can imagine a future where machines will enlarge our human abilities and help us make better life choices, from health to wealth. Through our dialogue and digital pieces, artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能) will understand our life goals and wishes, our duties and limitations. It will help us plan different life events, so we can spend more time enjoying life’s moments.
The ability for AI to understand the complexities and slight differences of human conversation is, however, one hurdle (障碍). There are several thousand known living languages in the world today. Adding to the difficulties are the varied ways words are shared and used across different cultures, including grammar, levels of education and styles of the speakers. Google Duplex, the technology supporting Google Assistant, which places phone calls using a natural-sounding human voice instead of a robotic one, is an early attempt to address such challenges in human communications. But these are just initial whispers in voice of AI’s long journey.
Beyond making reservations and conducting simple dialogues, virtual assistants will need to become far more useful and further fit into the parts of our everyday lives. Not only will they need to foresee what we need before we ask, they also need to understand the context of our conversations and react accordingly. Imagine a snow day when school is canceled for the kids. Knowing that you must now stay at home with your children, your phone would remind you, asking if you’d like your meetings moved to the following day. Alternatively, imagine how much more pleasant your journey home from a business trip would be if your phone could automatically arrange for a ride waiting to pick you up at the airport, based on your travel plan, location, and habits. The possibilities are endless.
32. What do we know about AI?
A. It narrows our abilities. B. It limits our better choice.
C. It helps us enjoy life better. D. It doesn’t know our limitations.
33. What makes it hard for AI to understand what humans say?
A. Low level of speakers. B. Varieties of languages and cultures.
C. Imperfection of AI. D. Similarities between languages.
34. Which word can best describe the author’s attitude towards AI?
A. Supportive. B. Uncaring. C. Worried. D. Doubtful.
35. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A. AI Will Replace Humans B. AI Will Set Goals for Us
C. AI Will Meet Challenges D. AI Will Be Part of Our Daily Lives
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了未来人工智能会给我们生活带来很多便利,成为我们日常生活的一部分。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“It will help us plan different life events, so we can spend more time enjoying life’s moments.(它将帮助我们计划不同的生活事件,所以我们可以花更多的时间享受生活时刻)”可知,人工智能帮助我们更好地享受生活。故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The ability for AI to understand the complexities and slight differences of human conversation is, however, one hurdle (障碍). There are several thousand known living languages in the world today. Adding to the difficulties are the varied ways words are shared and used across different cultures, including grammar, levels of education and styles of the speakers.(然而,人工智能理解人类对话的复杂性和细微差异的能力是一个障碍。世界上现存几千种语言。更加困难的是,不同文化之间共享和使用单词的方式各不相同,包括语法、教育水平和说话者的风格)”可知,语言和文化的多样性让人工智能很难理解人类说的话。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“It will help us plan different life events, so we can spend more time enjoying life’s moments.(它将帮助我们计划不同的生活事件,所以我们可以花更多的时间享受生活时刻)”以及最后一段中“The possibilities are endless.(可能性是无限的)”可知,作者一直在强调人工智能的优点,且对人工智能的未来充满期待。由此推知,作者是支持人工智能的。故选A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“As we live longer and technology continues its rapid development, we can imagine a future where machines will enlarge our human abilities and help us make better life choices, from health to wealth. Through our dialogue and digital pieces, AI (artificial intelligence) will understand our life goals and wishes, our duties and limitations.(随着我们寿命的延长和技术的持续快速发展,我们可以想象一个未来,机器将扩大我们人类的能力,帮助我们从健康到财富等方面,做出更好的生活选择。通过我们的对话和数字作品,人工智能将了解我们的生活目标和愿望,我们的责任和限制)”可知,文章主要讲述了未来人工智能会给我们生活带来很多便利,成为我们日常生活的一部分。由此可知,D选项“人工智能将成为日常生活的一部分”适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国四川糖画艺术的起源、发展历程、现状及其文化价值。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在中国西南部的四川省及周边地区,人们经常可以在街头和公园里看到民间艺人用糖液制作糖画。本句已有谓语动词“can find”,所给动词“produce(制作)”与谓语动词之间无连词,因此空处应用非谓语。且“folk artists(民间艺人)”与“produce”之间是主动关系,故应用现在分词作宾语补足语。故填producing。
【57题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:根据一些学术研究,糖画起源于明代,当时糖制动物和人物是在模具中制成的,作为宗教仪式中祭品的一部分。空处作谓语。根据“Ming Dynasty”可知,本句描述过去的事实,应用一般过去时。 “origin(起源)”的动词形式为“originate(起源)”,其过去式为“originated”。故填originated。
【58题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意:根据一些学术研究,糖画起源于明代,当时糖制动物和人物是在模具中制成的,作为宗教仪式中祭品的一部分。 本句中“when”引导定语从句,先行词为“Ming Dynasty”,从句主语“sugar animals and figures(糖制动物和人物)”与谓语动词“make(制作)”之间是被动关系,且描述的是明朝的情况,用一般过去时的被动语态“was/were + 过去分词”,主语为复数,be动词用were,make的过去分词为made。故填were made。
【59题详解】
考查名词。句意:在清代,糖画变得更受欢迎。“gained(获得)”为及物动词,后接名词作宾语,故空处应填“popular(受欢迎的)”的名词形式“popularity(流行)”,不可数名词。故填popularity。
【60题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:制作工艺得到了改进,图案也变得更加多样,其中大多数代表着好运,比如鱼、龙和猴子。本句为非限制性定语从句,先行词为“the patterns(图案)”,关系词在从句中作介词“of”的宾语,指物,故用“which”引导。故填which。
【61题详解】
考查介词。句意:模具也被一个小铜勺所取代。表示“被……取代”可用“be replaced by/with...”,介词“by”或“with”均为正确用法。故填by/with。
【62题详解】
考查连词。句意:随着时间的推移,糖画的现代形式逐渐发展起来。as time went by是固定句型,意为“随着时间的推移”。as引导时间状语从句。句首单词首字母需大写。故填As。
【63题详解】
考查副词。句意:随着时间的推移,糖画的现代形式逐渐发展起来。空格处修饰动词“developed(发展)”,应用副词形式。“gradual(逐渐的)”的副词为“gradually(逐渐地)”。故填gradually。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:尽管糖画艺人的数量已经减少,但由于其独特的魅力,一定数量的艺术家正在通过提供课程或举办诸如糖画比赛等活动来努力保护它。 根据固定搭配“make efforts to do sth.(努力做某事)”可知,此处用动词不定式。故填to protect。
【65题详解】
考查名词。句意:此外,糖画艺术家获得了越来越多的认可。“gained(获得)”为及物动词,后接名词作宾语,且空格前有形容词“increasing(越来越多的)”修饰,此处应用名词形式。“recognize(认可)”的名词形式为“recognition(认可)”,为不可数名词。故填recognition。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 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。
Teresa and I had been good friends for many years. We had many common interests and could stay up all night talking on the phone, laughing until our sides hurt. We were always there for each other when we needed to vent (发泄), cry or celebrate. We were so close that we could read each other’s minds and finish each other’s sentences. That all changed when we had a huge disagreement and parted ways.
The disagreement happened during a big school science fair. We were partners, but Teresa accidentally broke our project right before the judging (评审). I was so angry that I shouted at her in a bad voice and said she ruined everything on purpose. We both said hurtful things and never spoke again after that day.
There wasn’t a day that passed when I didn’t think of her or miss her. I often thought of reaching out to her to say sorry to her. But then I would think, if she cared, why hasn’t she gotten in touch with me? One other thing that we had in common was that we were both very stubborn (固执的).
It was Teresa’s birthday that day, which made me look for her on social media. She had a common name, but I finally found her photo, with her famous broad smile and beautiful hair. I also noticed she had liked a few of my old photos recently — a sign that maybe she missed me too.
I sent her a message online and expressed how much I’d missed her throughout these days and what she meant to me. I mentioned a few silly memories we had had together. I told her that I was grateful that she was there for me when I was going through a hard time. I ended the message by asking her if she would like to meet one day. And I wished her a happy birthday.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Hours passed like days before a reply finally appeared on the screen.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next day as I sat in the restaurant, a familiar voice called my name.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Hours passed like days before a reply finally appeared on the screen. My heart was racing as I read her message: “I’ve missed you too. How about meeting at the Sunshine Restaurant tomorrow?” A feeling of relief washed over me, yet it was quickly followed by a nervous feeling. What if things were awkward? I spent the whole evening thinking about what to say, each moment appearing endlessly as memories of our friendship replayed in my mind. Despite the anxiety, a warm hope began to grow within me — perhaps this was our chance to restart.
The next day as I sat in the restaurant, a familiar voice called my name. I turned to see Teresa standing by the door, holding a small gift. “For old times’ sake,” she said softly. We hugged tightly, tears welling in our eyes. “I’m so sorry,” we said it at the same time, then laughed through our tears. At that time, we apologized for our stubbornness and called up all the joyful moments we had shared. That day, we not only restored our friendship but also learned that true bonds grow stronger when repaired with understanding and forgiveness.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者与好友Teresa多年来的深厚友谊,因一次激烈争执而分道扬镳,此后彻底失去联系。尽管彼此思念,但因双方性格同样倔强,谁都没有主动联系对方。直到Teresa生日那天,作者在社交媒体上找到了她,鼓起勇气发消息表达思念、回忆往昔,并提议见面。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“几个小时过去了,就像几天过去了一样,屏幕上终于出现了回复。”可知,第一段可描写两人约定好见面以及作者在见面前紧张的心理活动。
②由第二段首句内容“第二天,当我坐在餐馆里时,一个熟悉的声音叫我的名字。”可知,第二段可描写作者和Teresa见面后的场景,两人互相道歉并重拾友谊。
2.续写线索:
Teresa回复并约定见面——紧张——两人见面——拥抱并互相道歉——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①心跳加速:race/pound/beat fast
②涌上心头:wash over/be overwhelmed by
③道歉:apologize/make an apology
情绪类
①紧张:a nervous feeling/nervousness/tension
②快乐:joyful/happy/delighted
【点睛】[[高分句型1] I spent the whole evening thinking about what to say, each moment appearing endlessly as memories of our friendship replayed in my mind.(由“名词+现在分词”构成的独立主格结构)
[高分句型2] That day, we not only restored our friendship but also learned that true bonds grow stronger when repaired with understanding and forgiveness.(由连接词that引导的宾语从句和状语从句的省略)
