John Griffith Chaney, better known as Jack London, was one of the most popular American authors of his time. Born on January 12th, 1876, in San Francisco, California, London grew up in the working class. He had delivered newspapers, shoveled coal, worked on a ship, and found employment in a cannery. In his free time, he preferred to stay at libraries, reading novels and travel books.
At the age of 17, London experienced a painful voyage, one in which a typhoon had nearly taken out London and his crew. The adventurer made it home and told his mother what had happened to him. When his mother saw an announcement in one of the local papers for a writing contest, she pushed her son to write down and submit his story. Though armed with just an eighth-grade education, London won first prize and got $25.
For London, the contest was an eye-opening experience and he decided to devote his life to writing short stories. But he had trouble finding willing publishers. After trying to make a living on the East Coast, he returned to California and briefly enrolled at the University of California at Berkeley, before heading north to Canada to seek at least a small fortune in the gold rush happening in the Yukon. By 22, however, London still hadn’t put together much of a living. But this time, he believed that he could make a living as a writer because he felt that he had so many stories to tell. Then in 1899,he began publishing stories in the Overland Monthly.
At the age of 27, London finally found fame. With his novel The Call of the Wild making a great success, he carried on his hard-driving writing style. Later on, he published over 50 books over the last 16 years of his life. Unfortunately, for much of the last decade of his life, London faced many health issues. These included kidney disease, which took his life on November 22nd, 1916.
4. What can we learn about Jack London from the first paragraph?
A. He learned to do business. B. He behaved well academically.
C. He had a difficult childhood. D. He was a hardworking author.
5. What made Jack London decide to become a writer?
A. His mother’s encouragement. B. His career in California.
C. His experiences at university. D. His success in a competition.
6. Why did Jack London go to the Yukon?
A. To promote his books. B. To find willing publishers.
C. To seek to make a small fortune. D. To draw inspiration for short stories.
7. What can be concluded from Jack London’s story?
A. Support from family is the key to good life.
B. Poverty always keeps one from succeeding.
C. Education is the passport to the future.
D. Success might begin with a difficult life.

A London-based technology company is looking for soccer talents using a mobile app. Free to download and available globally, the aiScout app allows aspiring soccer stars to enter virtual trials for professional clubs. They can upload videos of themselves completing a series of exercises. It offers 75 exercises, designed to test a range of skills. It includes videos showing users how to complete them. Clubs can tailor their in-app trials to meet specific needs and set their own benchmarks (基准).
Performances are scored by artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The data can then be accessed by clubs, allowing their scouts (球探) to look for talents more easily. Other information, such as age, gender and position on the field, is also taken into account.
“We’re putting that data up front to make better use of the scouts’ time,” said Richard Felton-Thomas, chief operating officer of ai.io, the company behind the app. “To say to scouts, ‘Go over to this place today because there are three players in that game that are all actually beating your Chelsea Football Club standard — that’s going to be the best use of your time.’”
Just over 100,000 players make up the current database. With over 100 clubs lined up to join, Felton-Thomas expects the number of users to reach the millions this year. Felton-Thomas said most of ai.io’s income comes from charging clubs a fee to run the platform. Annual fees vary depending on the size of the club and the tools they require. They range from thousands of pounds to six figures.
While football remains ai.io’s main focus, the company is looking into opportunities in other sports to launch in the coming years. Further ahead, it may branch out beyond sports. “You think about the idea that you can be at home and analyze your movements, and how this could help in health care, physical assessments for soldiers and emergency services,” Felton-Thomas said.
8. What is a requirement for the app users to enter virtual trials?
A. Scoring the moves in the video.
B. Participating in a football camp.
C. Submitting videos of finishing exercises.
D. Paying an expensive registration fee.
9. How does the aiScout app benefit clubs?
A. By attracting more soccer stars.
B. By reducing the cost of training.
C. By identifying talents efficiently.
D. By improving the training quality.
10. What does ai.io plan to do in the future?
A. Invest more in football.
B. Expand its business fields.
C. Reduce its charge for clubs.
D. Control the number of users.
11. What is the main idea of the text?
A. AI technology is popular with players.
B. Talents fight to win clubs’ recognition.
C. The use of AI in sports is slowly expanding.
D. Soccer clubs are using AI to find future stars.
D
The hundreds of goats (山羊) eating dead vegetation (植被) on roadside open space represents this Boulder County town’s latest effort at preventing wildfires. The goats grazed (吃草) between a neighborhood and the Eldorado K-8 School near the crossroads of Mount Sopris Parkway and Indiana Street. Just up the road marks the area of the Marshall Fire Colorado’s most costly wildfire that caused huge damage in Superior and Louisville in December 2021. Investigators said the disastrous fire began with burning pieces and bits from a broken power line. The fires were driven by high winds and dried grass and brush.
After the Marshall Fire, cities and towns in Colorado took a greater interest in managing their vegetation, said Leslie Clark, Superior’s parks, recreation and open space director. “Our open space, traditionally, was managed pretty hands-off as far as vegetation, whereas now we’re taking a more active approach to reduce fire risks,” Clark said. “Goat grazing really... helps us reduce both current growth and the old, dried-up dead vegetation. They love to eat the weeds (野草), and weed reduction is a big part of our wildfire mitigation (减轻).”
Using goats for wildfire mitigation isn’t new, but it has grown in popularity in the past decade and really picked up after the Marshall Fire, said Donny Benz, who runs the goat grazing business Goat Green LLC with his mother, Lani Malmberg. Goat Green LLC has about 1,500 goats that are sent around the state to eat. Malmberg started the business, primarily focused on weed - eating, in 1996. Now, Malmberg and Benz offer their goats to private landowners, homeowners’ associations, Air Force bases, the Bureau of Land Management and a number of cities across the West.
An important part of fire mitigation is clearing away low-growing vegetation like grasses and low-lying tree branches to prevent fires from climbing to taller vegetation like trees. Goats are unique in addressing this issue, Malmberg said.
12. What was the direct cause of the Marshall Fire?
A. Wrong management of dead vegetation in a school.
B. Strong winds blowing across dry grasslands.
C. Improper use of power in the neighborhood.
D. Burning pieces from a power line.
13. What does Leslie Clark think of using goats for wildfire mitigation?
A. It is helpful and effective. B. It is costly in the long run.
C. It requires professional skills to manage. D. It has a bad influence on the environment.
14. What do we know about Goat Green LLC?
A. It was set up by Benz and his mother.
B. It offers goats mainly to big companies.
C. It has become more popular after the Marshall Fire.
D. It started as a wildfire-mitigation business ten years ago.
15. What does the last paragraph primarily focus on?
A. Future of goat-based wildfire mitigation. B. Benefits of goats for wildfire prevention.
C. Huge challenges in wildfire mitigation. D. Different ways to prevent wildfires.

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。
New Year’s Eve arrived, and six-year-old Seb was staying with his grandparents, Jeanette and Barry. Barry asked Seb, “Shall we make a list of New Year’s resolutions (决心;决定), Seb?” Seb, looking puzzled, replied, “What are revolutions, Grandpa?” Barry smiled and gently corrected him, explaining that a New Year’s resolution is a commitment (承诺) one makes to themselves to start a new one, either by building good habits or giving up bad ones.
When it came to deciding on resolutions, Barry said that Seb should eat more vegetables. However, Seb refused, stating that the only vegetable he liked was potatoes, and he already ate them regularly. In turn, Seb pointed out that Barry didn’t eat salad, which is also a type of vegetable. Barry agreed to add “eating vegetables” to his list.
They then moved on to talk about Seb tidying up his toys when his mother asked him to. Seb was hesitant, claiming that he needed his toys all the time. He then playfully suggested that Barry should also put away his tools, just as he was expected to with his toys. Seb even came up with a resolution for Barry: not to get cross when it was time for bed. He reminded Barry that he often dozed off (打瞌睡) in front of the TV and disliked going to bed early.
Sometime later, Jeanette entered the kitchen and found them focusing on making their lists. Seb eagerly showed her his list, which included tidying away toys after playtime and listening to stories before sleeping. He then handed Jeanette Barry’s rather long list, filled with things she disliked about Barry. Jeanette checked the list and commented that some resolutions, like Barry stopping complaining in the parking lot, seemed difficult to achieve. She came up with an idea — adding “Try to” before each resolution. That night Barry apologized to Jeanette for his past oversights (疏忽). But Jeanette smiled and said she didn’t really mind. She said she would also learn new dishes and build a garden if they made it.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
As the weeks rolled by, both Barry and Seb made big progress.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Inspired by their efforts, Jeanette made some changes.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

At the age of 17, London experienced a painful voyage, one in which a typhoon had nearly taken out London and his crew. The adventurer made it home and told his mother what had happened to him. When his mother saw an announcement in one of the local papers for a writing contest, she pushed her son to write down and submit his story. Though armed with just an eighth-grade education, London won first prize and got $25.
For London, the contest was an eye-opening experience and he decided to devote his life to writing short stories. But he had trouble finding willing publishers. After trying to make a living on the East Coast, he returned to California and briefly enrolled at the University of California at Berkeley, before heading north to Canada to seek at least a small fortune in the gold rush happening in the Yukon. By 22, however, London still hadn’t put together much of a living. But this time, he believed that he could make a living as a writer because he felt that he had so many stories to tell. Then in 1899,he began publishing stories in the Overland Monthly.
At the age of 27, London finally found fame. With his novel The Call of the Wild making a great success, he carried on his hard-driving writing style. Later on, he published over 50 books over the last 16 years of his life. Unfortunately, for much of the last decade of his life, London faced many health issues. These included kidney disease, which took his life on November 22nd, 1916.

A London-based technology company is looking for soccer talents using a mobile app. Free to download and available globally, the aiScout app allows aspiring soccer stars to enter virtual trials for professional clubs. They can upload videos of themselves completing a series of exercises. It offers 75 exercises, designed to test a range of skills. It includes videos showing users how to complete them. Clubs can tailor their in-app trials to meet specific needs and set their own benchmarks (基准).
Performances are scored by artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The data can then be accessed by clubs, allowing their scouts (球探) to look for talents more easily. Other information, such as age, gender and position on the field, is also taken into account.
“We’re putting that data up front to make better use of the scouts’ time,” said Richard Felton-Thomas, chief operating officer of ai.io, the company behind the app. “To say to scouts, ‘Go over to this place today because there are three players in that game that are all actually beating your Chelsea Football Club standard — that’s going to be the best use of your time.’”
Just over 100,000 players make up the current database. With over 100 clubs lined up to join, Felton-Thomas expects the number of users to reach the millions this year. Felton-Thomas said most of ai.io’s income comes from charging clubs a fee to run the platform. Annual fees vary depending on the size of the club and the tools they require. They range from thousands of pounds to six figures.
While football remains ai.io’s main focus, the company is looking into opportunities in other sports to launch in the coming years. Further ahead, it may branch out beyond sports. “You think about the idea that you can be at home and analyze your movements, and how this could help in health care, physical assessments for soldiers and emergency services,” Felton-Thomas said.
8. What is a requirement for the app users to enter virtual trials?
A. Scoring the moves in the video.
B. Participating in a football camp.
C. Submitting videos of finishing exercises.
D. Paying an expensive registration fee.
9. How does the aiScout app benefit clubs?
A. By attracting more soccer stars.
B. By reducing the cost of training.
C. By identifying talents efficiently.
D. By improving the training quality.
10. What does ai.io plan to do in the future?
A. Invest more in football.
B. Expand its business fields.
C. Reduce its charge for clubs.
D. Control the number of users.
11. What is the main idea of the text?
A. AI technology is popular with players.
B. Talents fight to win clubs’ recognition.
C. The use of AI in sports is slowly expanding.
D. Soccer clubs are using AI to find future stars.

The hundreds of goats (山羊) eating dead vegetation (植被) on roadside open space represents this Boulder County town’s latest effort at preventing wildfires. The goats grazed (吃草) between a neighborhood and the Eldorado K-8 School near the crossroads of Mount Sopris Parkway and Indiana Street. Just up the road marks the area of the Marshall Fire, Colorado’s most costly wildfire that caused huge damage in Superior and Louisville in December 2021. Investigators said the disastrous fire began with burning pieces and bits from a broken power line. The fires were driven by high winds and dried grass and brush.
After the Marshall Fire, cities and towns in Colorado took a greater interest in managing their vegetation, said Leslie Clark, Superior’s parks, recreation and open space director. “Our open space, traditionally, was managed pretty hands-off as far as vegetation, whereas now we’re taking a more active approach to reduce fire risks,” Clark said. “Goat grazing really... helps us reduce both current growth and the old, dried-up dead vegetation. They love to eat the weeds (野草), and weed reduction is a big part of our wildfire mitigation (减轻).”
Using goats for wildfire mitigation isn’t new, but it has grown in popularity in the past decade and really picked up after the Marshall Fire, said Donny Benz, who runs the goat grazing business Goat Green LLC with his mother, Lani Malmberg. Goat Green LLC has about 1,500 goats that are sent around the state to eat. Malmberg started the business, primarily focused on weed - eating, in 1996. Now, Malmberg and Benz offer their goats to private landowners, homeowners’ associations, Air Force bases, the Bureau of Land Management and a number of cities across the West.
An important part of fire mitigation is clearing away low-growing vegetation like grasses and low-lying tree branches to prevent fires from climbing to taller vegetation like trees. Goats are unique in addressing this issue, Malmberg said.
12. What was the direct cause of the Marshall Fire?
A. Wrong management of dead vegetation in a school.
B. Strong winds blowing across dry grasslands.
C. Improper use of power in the neighborhood.
D. Burning pieces from a power line.
13. What does Leslie Clark think of using goats for wildfire mitigation?
A. It is helpful and effective. B. It is costly in the long run.
C. It requires professional skills to manage. D. It has a bad influence on the environment.
14. What do we know about Goat Green LLC?
A. It was set up by Benz and his mother.
B. It offers goats mainly to big companies.
C. It has become more popular after the Marshall Fire.
D. It started as a wildfire-mitigation business ten years ago.
15. What does the last paragraph primarily focus on?
A. Future of goat-based wildfire mitigation. B. Benefits of goats for wildfire prevention.
C. Huge challenges in wildfire mitigation. D. Different ways to prevent wildfires.

【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍什么是情商,包括高情商的好处和提高情商的办法。
【16题详解】
下文“It can help them pick better friends, build stronger relationships, be better employees and more.(它能够帮助他们结识更好的朋友,建立更牢固的关系,成为更出色的员工等等)”阐述了高情商在生活里的诸多益处,如助力人们结交更优质的朋友,搭建更为稳固的人际关系,成为更出色的员工等。由此可见,下文是对D项(高情商在多方面对人们有益)的具体解释,下文中的It指代D项中的A high EQ。故选D。
【17题详解】
上文“Many people with a high EQ often have good communication and time management skills as well as strong problem-solving abilities.(许多拥有高情商的人往往具备良好的沟通和时间管理能力,以及出色的问题解决能力)”着重强调了高情商人群普遍具备出色的沟通、时间管理技能以及强大的问题解决能力。而E项与上文为语义上的顺承关系,进一步阐释了高情商所带来的积极影响,故E项“这有助于他们应对复杂的人际交往场景”符合语境。E项中的This指代上文所提及的这一事实。故选E。
【18题详解】
下文“A low EQ means you have trouble expressing your emotions and difficulty recognizing what others are feeling. You don't value other people's opinions, which often contributes to difficulty in maintaining relationships. You often give inappropriate responses in social and professional settings causing others to feel confused or embarrassed.(低情商意味着你难以表达自己的情感,也难以理解他人的情绪。你不重视他人的意见,这往往会导致难以维持良好的人际关系。在社交和工作场合中,你常常会给出不恰当的回答,让他人感到困惑或尴尬)”详细列举了低情商的一系列典型表现,如难以恰当地表达自身情绪,很难准确识别他人的感受,对他人的观点不够重视,在社交和职场环境中回应失当等。F项(以下是一些判断你是否情商较低的方法)成功地引出了下文对低情商具体表现的详细介绍,起到了引起下文的作用,同时承接上文中的a low EQ can cause problems。故选F。
【19题详解】
上文“A low EQ means you have trouble expressing your emotions and difficulty recognizing what others are feeling. You don't value other people's opinions, which often contributes to difficulty in maintaining relationships. You often give inappropriate responses in social and professional settings causing others to feel confused or embarrassed.(低情商意味着你难以表达自己的情感,也难以理解他人的情绪。你不重视他人的意见,这往往会导致难以维持良好的人际关系。在社交和工作场合中,你常常会给出不恰当的回答,让他人感到困惑或尴尬)”以及下文“And you don't usually give compliments (称赞).(而且你通常不会给予赞美之词)”均是在罗列低情商的具体表现。因此,设空处同样是关于低情商的一种常见行为特征,故B项“你不喜欢承认自己的错误”符合语境。故选B。
【20题详解】
根据上文“If you believe you have a low EQ, take heart; you can make changes and improve it. First, work to become more aware of your emotions and how you respond to various situations. Understanding your feelings makes it easier to manage them.(如果你认为自己的情商较低,不要灰心;你可以做出改变并提升自己的情商。首先,努力让自己更加清楚自己的情绪以及在各种情况下的反应方式。了解自己的情绪有助于更好地控制它们)”以及下文“Finally, staying positive and calm can help those around you to stay calm in stressful situations. When you develop a high EQ, it will provide benefits and victories in many areas of your life.(最后,保持积极乐观的心态和冷静的头脑能够帮助身边的人在压力情境中保持镇定。当你提升情商时,它会在你生活的诸多方面为你带来益处和成功)”可知,设空处应是关于提高情商的办法。再结合下文中的This will enable you to respond correctly and give them valuable advice and encouragement可知,G项“接下来,要通过提问以及观察对方的肢体语言来倾听他人说话”符合设空处语境。G项中的Next与上文中的First以及下文中的Finally相照应,listen to others与下文中的respond correctly相照应。同时,下文中的them指代G项中的others。故选G。

【36题详解】
考查序数词。句意:为了庆祝母亲六十岁生日,清朝乾隆皇帝决定建造一座寓意与自然和谐共生的园林,这就是颐和园的起源。根据句意可知,此处表示“第六十个生日”,应用sixty的序数词sixtieth,作定语,表示“第六十”。故填sixtieth。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:为了庆祝母亲六十岁生日,清朝乾隆皇帝决定建造一座寓意与自然和谐共生的园林,这就是颐和园的起源。“ is the origin of the summer palace”为非限制性定语从句,修饰前面整个句子,关系词将其代入从句中作主语,应用关系代词which引导从句。故填which。

考查连词。句意:这座园林集江南园林之精华与北京皇家园林之风格于一体,展现出独特的匠心。根据句意可知,“the essence of Jiangnan Gardens”和“the style of Beijing Royal Gardens”为并列关系,应用连词and连接。故填and。

【42题详解】
考查时态。句意:然而,历史的变迁给这座园林留下了印记。leave(留下)是谓语动词,结合语境可知,此处表示过去的动作对现在造成的影响,应用现在完成时态,主语the vicissitudes of history是复数,助动词用have。故填have left。
【43题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:1860年,颐和园在战争中被毁,几年后,慈禧太后下令重建。destroy(毁灭)是谓语动词,与主语the Summer Palace之间是被动关系,结合时间状语In 1860可知,此处描述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是单数,be动词用was。故填was destroyed。
【44题详解】
考查代词。句意:1860年,颐和园在战争中被毁,几年后,慈禧太后下令重建。提示词修饰名词reconstruction,用形容词性物主代词its作定语。故填its。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:如今,漫步在颐和园,你不仅可以欣赏到精美的建筑和迷人的自然风光,还能感受到历史的厚重与沉淀。“(walk) in the Summer Palace”作状语,walk(步行,散步)用非谓语动词形式,与其逻辑主语you之间是主动关系,用现在分词形式表主动。故填walking。

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。
New Year’s Eve arrived, and six-year-old Seb was staying with his grandparents, Jeanette and Barry. Barry asked Seb, “Shall we make a list of New Year’s resolutions (决心;决定), Seb?” Seb, looking puzzled, replied, “What are revolutions, Grandpa?” Barry smiled and gently corrected him, explaining that a New Year’s resolution is a commitment (承诺) one makes to themselves to start a new one, either by building good habits or giving up bad ones.
When it came to deciding on resolutions, Barry said that Seb should eat more vegetables. However, Seb refused, stating that the only vegetable he liked was potatoes, and he already ate them regularly. In turn, Seb pointed out that Barry didn’t eat salad, which is also a type of vegetable. Barry agreed to add “eating vegetables” to his list.
They then moved on to talk about Seb tidying up his toys when his mother asked him to. Seb was hesitant, claiming that he needed his toys all the time. He then playfully suggested that Barry should also put away his tools, just as he was expected to with his toys. Seb even came up with a resolution for Barry: not to get cross when it was time for bed. He reminded Barry that he often dozed off (打瞌睡) in front of the TV and disliked going to bed early.
Sometime later, Jeanette entered the kitchen and found them focusing on making their lists. Seb eagerly showed her his list, which included tidying away toys after playtime and listening to stories before sleeping. He then handed Jeanette Barry’s rather long list, filled with things she disliked about Barry. Jeanette checked the list and commented that some resolutions, like Barry stopping complaining in the parking lot, seemed difficult to achieve. She came up with an idea — adding “Try to” before each resolution. That night Barry apologized to Jeanette for his past oversights (疏忽). But Jeanette smiled and said she didn’t really mind. She said she would also learn new dishes and build a garden if they made it.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
As the weeks rolled by, both Barry and Seb made big progress.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Inspired by their efforts, Jeanette made some changes.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
As the weeks rolled by, both Barry and Seb made big progress. Barry made it a point to try new salad dishes. He even invited Seb to help him wash the tomatoes, making the experience fun. When it came to parking, although he still complained a bit, he didn’t let his complaints snowball. Seb, on the other hand, was doing his best at bedtime. He would now put away his toys and would lie on his bed, ready to listen to a bedtime story. One evening, when it was time to sleep, he surprised his mother by saying, “I’m a big boy. I’ll go to bed without getting cross.”
Inspired by their efforts, Jeanette made some changes. She not only started learning new recipes but also began a small gardening project in the backyard. On weekends, the three of them would gather in the garden, Barry sharing his new-found love for salad greens, Seb helping with small tasks, and Jeanette showing off her budding plants. Their New Year was filled with joy and growth, and their family connection grew even stronger.

【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了新年前夜,六岁的塞布和祖父母一起制定新年决心。塞布与祖父巴里互相提出改进建议(如多吃蔬菜、整理物品),祖母珍妮特提议在每条决心前加“尝试”。之后三人努力践行,巴里尝试新沙拉、减少抱怨,塞布按时整理玩具,珍妮特学习新菜式并打理花园,一家人在成长中加深了亲情。
