Fuel savings and reductions in CO2 emissions are just two of the reasons for doing so. Fuel consumption decreases the slower you drive, because the moving car has to overcome fewer physical forces such as air resistance and rolling friction (摩擦) between tyres and road. Air resistance increases with the square of the speed. This means that a car experiences 28% more air resistance at a speed of 130km/h than at 110km/h. Slower speed is not the only way to reduce the CO2 emissions from your car. There are three automotive tips to help the climate else. STREAMLINE THE CAR 1. Unevenness (不均匀) increases the air resistance of your car, and so its CO2 emissions. Four open windows increase fuel consumption by up to 27%. GET UP THE GEARS (齿轮) QUICKLY 2. Petrol and diesel (柴油) cars should always be driven in the highest possible gear: the engine then has as few revolutions as possible. Fuel consumption between two gears can vary by up to 20%. MAINTAIN TYRE PRESSURE 3. Car tyres at the recommended pressure ensure ideal driving. If the tyre pressure drops to 75% pressure, fuel consumption increases by 2%. If it drops by half, the increase is as much as 10%. Here’s the breakdown of fuel consumption impact of driving habits and vehicle adjustments from the Federation of Danish Motorists (FDM). 1. Why does driving at a lower speed help cut fuel use? A. It weakens the physical forces the car must fight against. B. It changes the way air resistance affects the car. C. It lightens the weight of the moving vehicle. D. It makes the engine work at a higher speed. 2. What will happen if a car’s windows are wide open while driving? A. It’ll lower the car’s air resistance. B. It’ll reduce the car’s CO₂ emissions. C. It’ll lead to a sharp rise in fuel use. D. It’ll make the car run more smoothly. 3. What is the fuel-saving effect of reducing speed from 130km/h to 110km/h according to FDM data? A. 10%. B. 16%. C. Up to 20%. D. Nearly 28%. B When Leah Lizarondo grew up in the Philippines, all-parts cooking was really popular. “It was trendy to serve all the parts of the food material,” she remembers. After moving to the US, Lizarondo struggled with the amount of food she saw going to waste. “The way fish is sold here mostly is fillets(去骨鱼片),” she says. “What happens to the rest of that fish?” Concerned by the amount of food waste that grocery stores and restaurants were throwing away every day in the US, Lizarondo decided to launch Food Rescue Hero, a food recovery platform that redirects unused food by getting volunteers to use an app to collect it; they then deliver the food to organizations and individuals who are experiencing food insecurity. Lizarondo explains that the technology behind the platform is not innovative; she compares it to the tech behind delivery services like Uber Eats and DoorDash. However, Lizarondo says getting people to give up their time to make deliveries is where they differ. While an Uber driver might wrestle with whether their earnings on a delivery may be worth their time, Food Rescue Hero drivers almost always show up to deliver. The reason is simple: “If I am picking up food and I know that someone is specifically relying on this today, saying no becomes a harder decision to make,” she explains. The inner motivation among her volunteers has enabled her organization to grow to thousands of drivers. Lizarondo says 100, 000 deliveries have now been completed in Pittsburgh, where Food Rescue Hero was started. Across all the cities where they operate, they have rescued nearly 50 million pounds of food that would have otherwise gone to waste. Lizarondo’s network has now grown to twelve cities, and she has dreams of expanding further. However, it’s not easy to get funding. “I’m trying to convince donors that this model will provide that groundbreaking innovation that everyone’s looking for,” she says. 4. Which best describes all-parts cooking? A. It minimizes waste. B. It focuses on fish dishes. C. It promotes healthy diets. D. It originated in the Philippines. 5. What is the main purpose of Food Rescue Hero? A. To sell leftover food at lower prices. B. To ensure the food security of restaurants. C. To develop new tools to track food waste. D. To distribute unwanted food to those in need. 6. What can we learn about Food Rescue Hero drivers? A. They rely on highly innovative technology. B They have built up an excellent reputation. C. They feel a strong sense of responsibility. D. They are offered good wages by Lizarondo. 7. What challenge does Lizarondo face while expanding her network? A. Finding committed volunteers. B. Securing enough financial support. C. Convincing groceries to donate food. D. Dealing with technical issues on the app. C “Where’s your squeaky ball? Bring me your panda bear! ” It’s not unusual for dogs to learn the names of their favorite toys. But some dogs can categorize toys by how they’re used during play, researchers now report. They can even decide what category a new toy should be in, based on how it’s used. And that’s without any verbal or physical clues. The team, led by Claudia Fugazza of Eötvös Loránd University, recruited 11 dogs and their owners to take part in the new study. Each dog was studied at home. First, owners played games with their dogs: either “pull” (tug-of-war) or “throw (fetch).” During each game, the owner repeatedly said the category out loud. Toys were assigned to a category at random. In other words, a toy’s physical traits (特征) did not dictate how it would be used. Game playing continued until the dogs related each toy to either “pull” or “throw.” Then, owners and dogs played the same pull or throw game with toys the dogs had not seen before. This time, the owners did not name the activities out loud. Next, owners asked their dogs to “bring me a pull” or “bring me a throw” from a toy pile. This tested if the dogs applied the labels based on their play with that toy. These dogs picked a new toy right most of the time. Previous animal studies that categorized things by their use relied on lab settings and formal training. “This is the first study exploring this cognitive skill in animals in their natural environment while making sure the dogs got only social cues (提示),” Fugazza says. Fugazza says the new study doesn’t show that all dogs have this functional-labeling skill. “But,” she adds, “I wouldn’t exclude that.” Next, researchers may want to explore what other mental categories these dogs can learn, and what brain activities underlie these abilities. 8. What does the underlined word “dictate” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Hide. B. Change. C. Determine. D. Contradict. 9. The new-toy games were mainly designed to test dogs’________. A. emotional sensitivity B. transferable abilities C. problem-solving speed D. resistance to distractions 10. What distinguishes the new study from earlier ones? A. It involved new toys. B. It excluded social cues. C. It required stricter drills. D. It avoided unnatural settings. 11. What may researchers explore next? A. How else can dogs sort toys? B Which kind of dogs can label toys? C. Why can some dogs learn toy names? D. What other cues affect dogs’ brain activities? D One morning last month, I decided to try artificial intelligence on a pressing problem: my inbox. I had hundreds of messages, and though most were junk, a handful were of actual interest. So I turned to Cora, an app that uses A. I. to protect users from messages that don’t genuinely require a response. During setup, it read my latest e-mails to learn who I am. Typically, engaging with e-mail involves sorting messages into different layers of complexity. The shallowest layer includes e-mails you can confidently delete. The next contains messages that can be satisfied with a simple reply: “Got it” or “Thanks.” The deepest layer consists of messages that are quick to read but require significant thought. Consider this e-mail: “Hi Cal I’m John Doe’s brother…I’m working on a new tech startup…I’d love to grab coffee with you. Any particular days work best?” Before I can respond, I need to assess the social and practical implications of the request. Is John Doe sufficiently important to me that I need to do his brother a favor? If I agree, when and where should I suggest? The task arguably bundles filtering (筛选), decoding, planning and analysis. The morning after I activated Cora, I logged in with nervousness. Instead of thirty or forty messages, I found only five requiring my attention. Boring as the moment might seem, I’m not sure that A. I. has ever made me more excited than I was then. Cora’s decisions seemed pretty good — all but two were indeed deletable (I could read the wrongly filtered messages directly from the briefing webpage). The app even drafted possible replies for layer- two messages. What it didn’t try to tackle were the layer-three ones. In The Tacit Dimension, Michael Polanyi argued that our decisions depend heavily on unstated context. “… we can know more than we can tell,” he wrote. A. I. is ignorant of this “tacit knowledge”, so it can’t reliably figure out whether to say “yes” to that coffee invitation. Still, A. I. e-mail tools can have a profound impact. Now I’m impatient for what comes next. 12. What is the author’s main purpose in trying Cora? A. To screen inbox e-mails. B. To study e-mail patterns. C. To erase old inbox history. D. To block unknown senders. 13. What can the “coffee” e-mail be viewed as? A. A quick-reply note. B. A delete-level item. C. A low-priority letter. D. A layer-three message. 14. How did the author feel after seeing only five e-mails? A. Bored. B. Doubtful. C. Excited. D. Nervous. 15. What may A. I. e-mail tools struggle with? A. Judging context. B. Spotting junk mail. C. Writing short replies. D. Classifying messages. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do you know what makes you happy or do you just think you know? At first glance, these two questions look like the same thing. If you think something makes you happy, then it must make you happy. ____16____ Brainstorm a list of all the things that make you happy. Just write whatever comes into your mind without thinking about it too much. ____17____ Probably most of them, right? So, if you could spend most of your time doing all this fun stuff, you’d be really happy, surely? Well, maybe not. For most people, only doing things for fun isn’t enough for long-term happiness. ____18____ If most of the things on your list of what makes you happy fall under the category of “pleasure”, then that might be what you think makes you happy. But what will actually make you happy is balancing them out with activities that give your life purpose. Go back to your list of things that make you happy. ____19____ Can you make another list now you know that purpose is important for happiness? Now you have your lists, you need to find balance. But balance doesn’t mean you have to make pleasure–purpose a 50/50 split. It means achieving the ratio (比率) that works for you, and, of course, some activities might bring both pleasure and purpose. There’s an idea of “deciding, designing, doing”. First decide what things in life bring you pleasure and/or purpose — which is what your two lists are for. Then, don’t just think about these activities. ____20____ Happiness is built during the process. A. After all, you know yourself, don’t you? B. Work on these parts to maximize your happiness. C. The human brain quickly adapts to sources of pleasure. D. Design your life so you do as many of them as possible. E. Now look at that list and tick all the ones that are enjoyable. F. How many of them are activities that add to your sense of purpose? G. That’s because your happiness depends on a “pleasure–purpose balance”. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It was in the cold midwinter, and a pair of beagles (比格犬) trudged through the freezing night, seeking shelter. The father-to-be ____21____ the roadside for some home where his ____22____ companion might rest safely for the night. He looked over at her frequently. She ____23____ along without complaint, her way made heavier by the new life growing inside her. They needed a warm, dry place safe from the bitter wind. When her ____24____ came, it must not be out here along the roadway. Gus Kiebel was driving home from work when he spotted the pair in the ____25____ of his headlights. Gus parked his truck and ____26____ the animals. He stretched out his hands to the beagles, which made no effort to escape. He placed the dogs in his truck, ____27____ a picture of the pair and sent it to his wife, Katie Kiebel. “You cannot put them back out in the snowstorm,” she said. “Bring them home.” The Kiebels prepared a ____28____ for the dogs on their warm enclosed porch, also setting out food and water. The ____29____ animals lay together, the male dog ____30____ lifting his head to fuss over (关怀) his ____31____. The next day, the couple took the dogs to the shelter to drop them off. In the days following, Katie phoned the shelter repeatedly to ____32____ them. Soon after Christmas, the beagles were ____33____, as a pair, to a loving family. It’s a simple story — people who practice ____34____ give shelter from a storm to a homeless couple — but it speaks to the best of our ____35____. 21. A. scanned B. crossed C. blocked D. noticed 22. A. uplifting B. struggling C. grieving D. frustrating 23. A. leapt B. wandered C. played D. labored 24. A. turn B. time C. destiny D. chance 25. A. flash B. shadow C. darkness D. reflection 26. A. confronted B. chased C. approached D. guided 27. A. drew B. posted C. shot D. printed 28. A. collar B. toy C. table D. bed 29. A. exhausted B. confused C. depressed D. frightened 30.

A. sold B. adopted C. returned D. released 34. A. courage B. humanity C. generosity D. kindness 35. A. ability B. knowledge C. nature D. advantage 第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 In a modest yet vibrant martial arts club, the rhythmic thud(重击) of feet striking the ground echoes in sync with the sharp, thunderous cry of “Hay-Hah!”. 53-year-old Degbo is leading scores of students through precise movements of kung fu and tai chi. For Degbo, Chinese martial arts are not ____36____ (mere) a physical discipline but a philosophy, a way of life, ____37____ above all a bridge between his homeland of Benin and China. At the tender age of 13, while a student in Dangbo town in southeast Benin, Degbo ____38____ (discover) his passion. Spending school holidays watching Chinese martial arts films ____39____ (feature) legends like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, he found an accidental encounter with the exotic culture ____40____ ignited a life-changing interest. Degbo began his journey ____41____ joining a private kung fu club in Porto-Novo. Later, the Beninese martial arts enthusiast ____42____ (take) to the Shaolin Temple in Henan province for better mastering the art. In 2010, he founded his own club, Super Shaolin of Benin. Reflecting on his journey of learning Chinese martial arts through the eyes of ____43____ master, Degbo said it is a ____44____ (spirit) rebirth. “The experience offered me a deep and immersive ____45____ (introduce) to Chinese culture,” he said. “It strengthened my mind and body and shaped how I see the world. I want to pass on what I learned to empower young people with an understanding of another culture.” 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，你校英文报正在开展主题为“Physical or online bookstores, which do you prefer?”的征文活动，请写一篇短文投稿。内容包括： 1. 阐述观点； 2. 说明理由。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80个左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答 Physical or online bookstores, which do you prefer? ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节 (满分25分) 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 On a fresh autumn morning, the air was filled with the scent of fallen leaves and the promise of adventure as I made my way from Canmore to New York City. My heart was flipping with anticipation, each beat echoing the thrill and pleasure of attending a famous art studio in the heart of the city and trading my paintings. I imagined the busy streets of the city, the towering skyscrapers, and the creative energy that pulsed through every corner. This studio was more than just an opportunity; it was a dream that would come true, and a milestone I had been eagerly waiting for. As I climbed into the taxi to the airport, the driver, a friendly man with a warm smile, greeted me with a cheerful “Good morning”. I responded with a nod, my mind already racing ahead to the studio in that city. “First-time travel?” he asked, catching my gaze in the rear-view mirror (后视镜). “Yes, a big-deal trip in New York,” I replied, my voice tinged with excitement. The driver smiled with a knowing look and said, “Ah, New York! Enjoy your flight. Just watch out for the traffic!” As we chatted, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. The driver showed good manners and the sound of the engine was comforting. And I allowed myself to relax into the moment. The view of Canmore slowly gave way to the open road, and I watched as the landscape transformed, each mile bringing me closer to my destination. But my excitement quickly turned to upset as I stood in the security line at Calgary International Airport. My hands were shockingly empty, no familiar weight of my painting supplies. They were all gone, likely forgotten in the back of the taxi in my rush to catch the flight. A wave of helplessness washed over me when I realized it’s my carelessness that caused this to happen. I stood frozen, my mind racing through the implications of arriving in New York without my painting supplies. 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。 However, just as I was about to resign (使听任) myself to this unfortunate event, my phone rang. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With an hour to spare before my flight’s departure, I saw the taxi driver outside the terminal (航站楼). _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 孝感高中2023级高三英语测试 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上，录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题：每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了降低车速、优化车身设计、快速换挡及保持轮胎压力等可减少汽车燃油消耗和二氧化碳排放。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Fuel consumption decreases the slower you drive, because the moving car has to overcome fewer physical forces such as air resistance and rolling friction (摩擦) between tyres and road.(你开得越慢，燃油消耗就越少，因为行驶中的汽车需要克服的物理阻力就越少，比如空气阻力和轮胎与路面之间的滚动摩擦力)”可知，以较低的速度行驶有助于减少燃油消耗是因为它削弱了汽车必须对抗的物理力。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据STREAMLINE THE CAR部分中“Four open windows increase fuel consumption by up to 27%.(四个打开的窗户会使燃油消耗增加高达27%)”可知，如果开车时车窗大开，会导致燃油使用量急剧上升。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据图表中“Speed:130→110 km/h (Fuel/CO₂ Saving)(车速：130 →110公里/小时（燃油/二氧化碳节省）)”对应的“16%”可知，根据FDM的数据，将车速从130km/h降至110km/h的节油效果是16%。故选B。 B When Leah Lizarondo grew up in the Philippines, all-parts cooking was really popular. “It was trendy to serve all the parts of the food material,” she remembers. After moving to the US, Lizarondo struggled with the amount of food she saw going to waste. “The way fish is sold here mostly is fillets(去骨鱼片),” she says. “What happens to the rest of that fish?” Concerned by the amount of food waste that grocery stores and restaurants were throwing away every day in the US, Lizarondo decided to launch Food Rescue Hero, a food recovery platform that redirects unused food by getting volunteers to use an app to collect it; they then deliver the food to organizations and individuals who are experiencing food insecurity. Lizarondo explains that the technology behind the platform is not innovative; she compares it to the tech behind delivery services like Uber Eats and DoorDash. However, Lizarondo says getting people to give up their time to make deliveries is where they differ. While an Uber driver might wrestle with whether their earnings on a delivery may be worth their time, Food Rescue Hero drivers almost always show up to deliver. The reason is simple: “If I am picking up food and I know that someone is specifically relying on this today, saying no becomes a harder decision to make,” she explains. The inner motivation among her volunteers has enabled her organization to grow to thousands of drivers. Lizarondo says 100, 000 deliveries have now been completed in Pittsburgh, where Food Rescue Hero was started. Across all the cities where they operate, they have rescued nearly 50 million pounds of food that would have otherwise gone to waste. Lizarondo’s network has now grown to twelve cities, and she has dreams of expanding further. However, it’s not easy to get funding. “I’m trying to convince donors that this model will provide that groundbreaking innovation that everyone’s looking for,” she says. 4. Which best describes all-parts cooking? A. It minimizes waste. B. It focuses on fish dishes. C. It promotes healthy diets. D. It originated in the Philippines. 5. What is the main purpose of Food Rescue Hero? A. To sell leftover food at lower prices. B. To ensure the food security of restaurants. C. To develop new tools to track food waste. D. To distribute unwanted food to those in need. 6. What can we learn about Food Rescue Hero drivers? A. They rely on highly innovative technology. B. They have built up an excellent reputation. C. They feel a strong sense of responsibility. D. They are offered good wages by Lizarondo. 7. What challenge does Lizarondo face while expanding her network? A. Finding committed volunteers. B. Securing enough financial support. C. Convincing groceries to donate food. D. Dealing with technical issues on the app. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了Leah Lizarondo目睹美国严重的食物浪费现象，受到菲律宾“全食材烹饪”饮食文化的启发创立食物回收平台“Food Rescue Hero”，通过志愿者将可能被浪费的食物重新分配给有需要的人，并探讨了该平台成功的关键（志愿者的责任感）及其扩张中面临的资金挑战。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When Leah Lizarondo grew up in the Philippines, all-parts cooking was really popular. “It was trendy to serve all the parts of the food material,” she remembers. After moving to the US, Lizarondo struggled with the amount of food she saw going to waste. “The way fish is sold here mostly is fillets(去骨鱼片),” she says. “What happens to the rest of that fish?”(当Leah Lizarondo在菲律宾长大时，全食材烹饪非常受欢迎。她回忆道：“当时很流行把食材的各个部位都做成菜肴。”搬到美国后，搬到美国后，Lizarondo对眼前大量被浪费的食物感到难以接受。“这里卖的鱼大多只是去骨鱼片，” 她说，“那鱼剩下的部分都去哪了？”)”可知，Lizarondo在菲律宾长大时，“全食材烹饪”很流行，意味着使用食材的所有部分。紧接着她移居美国后，对食物浪费现象感到困扰。由此可推知，“全食材烹饪”是指食材的所有部分都会被利用烹饪，最大限度地减少浪费。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Concerned by the amount of food waste that grocery stores and restaurants were throwing away every day in the US, Lizarondo decided to launch Food Rescue Hero, a food recovery platform that redirects unused food by getting volunteers to use an app to collect it; they then deliver the food to organizations and individuals who are experiencing food insecurity.(由于对美国各地杂货店和餐馆每天产生的大量食物浪费现象感到担忧，Lizarondo决定推出“食物救援英雄”（food Rescue Hero）这一食物回收平台，该平台通过让志愿者使用一款应用收集未被使用的食物，再将这些食物转送给面临食品短缺问题的机构和个人。)”可知，Food Rescue Hero平台通过志愿者将未使用的食物收集起来，送给面临食物短缺的人，即其主要目的是将多余食物分发给需要的人。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“However, Lizarondo says getting people to give up their time to make deliveries is where they differ. While an Uber driver might wrestle with whether their earnings on a delivery may be worth their time, Food Rescue Hero drivers almost always show up to deliver. The reason is simple: “If I am picking up food and I know that someone is specifically relying on this today, saying no becomes a harder decision to make,” she explains. (然而，Lizarondo表示，让人们自愿献出时间来配送，才是两者的不同之处。优步司机可能会纠结一趟配送的收入是否值得花时间，而“食物救援英雄”的志愿者几乎每次都会准时出现。原因很简单：“如果我去取食物，并且知道今天有人正专门等着这份食物，拒绝就会变成一个更难做出的决定，”她解释道。)”以及倒数第二段中“The inner motivation among her volunteers has enabled her organization to grow to thousands of drivers. (志愿者们的内在动力让她的组织发展到数千名配送人员.)”可知，此平台司机们与Uber司机的区别在于动力不同，Food Rescue Hero的司机是义务花时间配送，知道有人正依赖这些食物，因此很难拒绝配送，这体现了他们强烈的责任感。故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“However, it’s not easy to get funding.(然而，筹集资金并不容易。)”和““I’m trying to convince donors that this model will provide that groundbreaking innovation that everyone’s looking for,” she says.(“我正努力说服捐赠者，这种模式能带来大家都在寻找的突破性创新。” 她说。)”可知，Lizarondo扩大她的网络时面临的主要挑战是获得资金支持。故选B。 C “Where’s your squeaky ball? Bring me your panda bear! ” It’s not unusual for dogs to learn the names of their favorite toys. But some dogs can categorize toys by how they’re used during play, researchers now report. They can even decide what category a new toy should be in, based on how it’s used. And that’s without any verbal or physical clues. The team, led by Claudia Fugazza of Eötvös Loránd University, recruited 11 dogs and their owners to take part in the new study. Each dog was studied at home. First, owners played games with their dogs: either “pull” (tug-of-war) or “throw (fetch).” During each game, the owner repeatedly said the category out loud. Toys were assigned to a category at random. In other words, a toy’s physical traits (特征) did not dictate how it would be used. Game playing continued until the dogs related each toy to either “pull” or “throw.” Then, owners and dogs played the same pull or throw game with toys the dogs had not seen before. This time, the owners did not name the activities out loud. Next, owners asked their dogs to “bring me a pull” or “bring me a throw” from a toy pile. This tested if the dogs applied the labels based on their play with that toy. These dogs picked a new toy right most of the time. Previous animal studies that categorized things by their use relied on lab settings and formal training. “This is the first study exploring this cognitive skill in animals in their natural environment while making sure the dogs got only social cues (提示),” Fugazza says. Fugazza says the new study doesn’t show that all dogs have this functional-labeling skill. “But,” she adds, “I wouldn’t exclude that.” Next, researchers may want to explore what other mental categories these dogs can learn, and what brain activities underlie these abilities. 8. What does the underlined word “dictate” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Hide. B. Change. C. Determine. D. Contradict. 9. The new-toy games were mainly designed to test dogs’________. A. emotional sensitivity B. transferable abilities C. problem-solving speed D. resistance to distractions 10. What distinguishes the new study from earlier ones? A. It involved new toys. B. It excluded social cues. C. It required stricter drills. D. It avoided unnatural settings. 11. What may researchers explore next? A. How else can dogs sort toys? B. Which kind of dogs can label toys? C. Why can some dogs learn toy names? D. What other cues affect dogs’ brain activities? 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍研究人员发现部分狗狗能根据玩耍时的使用方式给玩具分类，还能将分类能力应用到新玩具上，并介绍了相关研究过程、特点及后续研究方向。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“In other words, a toy’s physical traits (特征) did not dictate how it would be used.(换句话说，玩具的物理特征并不能dictate它的使用方式)”以及前文“Toys were assigned to a category at random.(玩具被随机分配到某个类别)”可知，玩具的使用方式是随机分配的，与其本身的物理特征无关，即物理特征不能决定它的使用方式。由此猜测dictate意为“决定”，与determine意思相近。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Then, owners and dogs played the same pull or throw game with toys the dogs had not seen before. This time, the owners did not name the activities out loud.(然后，主人和狗狗用狗狗从未见过的玩具玩同样的拉扯或投掷游戏。这一次，主人没有大声说出活动名称)”以及第四段“Next, owners asked their dogs to ‘bring me a pull’ or ‘bring me a throw’ from a toy pile. This tested if the dogs applied the labels based on their play with that toy. These dogs picked a new toy right most of the time.(接下来，主人让狗狗从一堆玩具中“给我拿一个用来拉扯的玩具”或“给我拿一个用来投掷的玩具”。这测试了狗狗是否会根据与玩具的玩耍情况来应用这些分类标签。这些狗狗大多数时候都能正确选出新玩具)”可推断，新玩具游戏主要是为了测试狗狗将已掌握的分类能力迁移到新玩具上的可迁移能力。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Previous animal studies that categorized things by their use relied on lab settings and formal training. ‘This is the first study exploring this cognitive skill in animals in their natural environment while making sure the dogs got only social cues (提示),’ Fugazza says.(以往关于动物根据用途分类事物的研究都依赖于实验室环境和正式训练。 Fugazza说：“这是第一项在动物的自然环境中探索这种认知能力的研究，同时确保狗狗只获得社交提示。”)”可知，这项新研究与早期研究的区别在于它避免了非自然的实验室环境，而是在狗狗的自然环境中进行。故选D项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Next, researchers may want to explore what other mental categories these dogs can learn, and what brain activities underlie these abilities.(接下来，研究人员可能想探索这些狗狗还能学习其他哪些心理分类，以及这些能力背后的大脑活动是什么)”可知，研究人员接下来可能会探索狗狗还能以其他哪些心理方式给玩具分类。故选A项。 D One morning last month, I decided to try artificial intelligence on a pressing problem: my inbox. I had hundreds of messages, and though most were junk, a handful were of actual interest. So I turned to Cora, an app that uses A. I. to protect users from messages that don’t genuinely require a response. During setup, it read my latest e-mails to learn who I am. Typically, engaging with e-mail involves sorting messages into different layers of complexity. The shallowest layer includes e-mails you can confidently delete. The next contains messages that can be satisfied with a simple reply: “Got it” or “Thanks.” The deepest layer consists of messages that are quick to read but require significant thought. Consider this e-mail: “Hi Cal I’m John Doe’s brother…I’m working on a new tech startup…I’d love to grab coffee with you. Any particular days work best?” Before I can respond, I need to assess the social and practical implications of the request. Is John Doe sufficiently important to me that I need to do his brother a favor? If I agree, when and where should I suggest? The task arguably bundles filtering (筛选), decoding, planning and analysis. The morning after I activated Cora, I logged in with nervousness. Instead of thirty or forty messages, I found only five requiring my attention. Boring as the moment might seem, I’m not sure that A. I. has ever made me more excited than I was then. Cora’s decisions seemed pretty good — all but two were indeed deletable (I could read the wrongly filtered messages directly from the briefing webpage). The app even drafted possible replies for layer- two messages. What it didn’t try to tackle were the layer-three ones. In The Tacit Dimension, Michael Polanyi argued that our decisions depend heavily on unstated context. “… we can know more than we can tell,” he wrote. A. I. is ignorant of this “tacit knowledge”, so it can’t reliably figure out whether to say “yes” to that coffee invitation. Still, A. I. e-mail tools can have a profound impact. Now I’m impatient for what comes next. 12 What is the author’s main purpose in trying Cora? A. To screen inbox e-mails. B. To study e-mail patterns. C. To erase old inbox history. D. To block unknown senders. 13. What can the “coffee” e-mail be viewed as? A. A quick-reply note. B. A delete-level item. C. A low-priority letter. D. A layer-three message. 14. How did the author feel after seeing only five e-mails? A. Bored. B. Doubtful. C. Excited. D. Nervous. 15. What may A. I. e-mail tools struggle with? A. Judging context. B. Spotting junk mail. C. Writing short replies. D. Classifying messages. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作者为处理收件箱积压邮件，尝试使用人工智能应用Cora筛选邮件的经历，分析了邮件分类的不同层级，以及人工智能邮件工具的优势与局限。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“One morning last month, I decided to try artificial intelligence on a pressing problem: my inbox. I had hundreds of messages, and though most were junk, a handful were of actual interest. So I turned to Cora, an app that uses A.I. to protect users from messages that don’t genuinely require a response.(上个月的一天早上，我决定用人工智能解决一个紧迫的问题：我的收件箱。我有数百封邮件，虽然大多数是垃圾邮件，但有少数几封确实很有意思。于是我求助于Cora，这是一款利用人工智能保护用户免受那些并非真正需要回复的邮件打扰的应用程序)”可知，作者使用 Cora 的主要目的是筛选收件箱里的邮件，区分垃圾邮件和需要回复的邮件。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The deepest layer consists of messages that are quick to read but require significant thought.(最深层次的邮件是那些读起来很快但需要深入思考的邮件)”以及第三段中对咖啡邮件的分析“Before I can respond, I need to assess the social and practical implications of the request. Is John Doe sufficiently important to me that I need to do his brother a favor? If I agree, when and where should I suggest? The task arguably bundles filtering (筛选), decoding, planning and analysis.(在回复之前，我需要评估这个请求的社交和实际意义。约翰・多伊对我来说足够重要，我需要帮他哥哥一个忙吗？如果我同意了，我应该建议什么时候、在哪里见面？这项任务可以说是集筛选、解码、规划和分析于一体)”可知，这封咖啡邮件需要深入思考才能回复，属于最深层次的邮件，即第三层邮件。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Instead of thirty or forty messages, I found only five requiring my attention. Boring as the moment might seem, I’m not sure that A.I. has ever made me more excited than I was then.(我没有看到三四十封邮件，只发现五封需要我关注的。尽管那一刻可能看起来很无聊，但我不确定人工智能是否曾让我比那时更兴奋过)”可知，作者看到只有五封邮件需要关注时，感到非常兴奋。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“In The Tacit Dimension, Michael Polanyi argued that our decisions depend heavily on unstated context. “… we can know more than we can tell,” he wrote. A.I. is ignorant of this “tacit knowledge”, so it can’t reliably figure out whether to say “yes” to that coffee invitation.(在《缄默的维度》一书中，迈克尔・波兰尼认为，我们的决策在很大程度上依赖于未阐明的背景。“……我们知道的比我们能说出来的要多，”他写道。人工智能对这种 “隐性知识” 一无所知，因此它无法可靠地判断是否应该接受那次咖啡邀请)”可推断，人工智能邮件工具难以处理的是对背景语境的判断。故选A项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do you know what makes you happy or do you just think you know? At first glance, these two questions look like the same thing. If you think something makes you happy, then it must make you happy. ____16____ Brainstorm a list of all the things that make you happy. Just write whatever comes into your mind without thinking about it too much. ____17____ Probably most of them, right? So, if you could spend most of your time doing all this fun stuff, you’d be really happy, surely? Well, maybe not. For most people, only doing things for fun isn’t enough for long-term happiness. ____18____ If most of the things on your list of what makes you happy fall under the category of “pleasure”, then that might be what you think makes you happy. But what will actually make you happy is balancing them out with activities that give your life purpose. Go back to your list of things that make you happy. ____19____ Can you make another list now you know that purpose is important for happiness? Now you have your lists, you need to find balance. But balance doesn’t mean you have to make pleasure–purpose a 50/50 split. It means achieving the ratio (比率) that works for you, and, of course, some activities might bring both pleasure and purpose. There’s an idea of “deciding, designing, doing”. First decide what things in life bring you pleasure and/or purpose — which is what your two lists are for. Then, don’t just think about these activities. ____20____ Happiness is built during the process. A. After all, you know yourself, don’t you? B. Work on these parts to maximize your happiness. C. The human brain quickly adapts to sources of pleasure. D. Design your life so you do as many of them as possible. E. Now look at that list and tick all the ones that are enjoyable. F. How many of them are activities that add to your sense of purpose? G. That’s because your happiness depends on a “pleasure–purpose balance”. 【答案】16. A 17. E 18. G 19. F 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了真正的幸福并不仅仅来自于享乐，而是来自于“愉悦”和“目标感”之间的平衡。 【16题详解】 上文“If you think something makes you happy, then it must make you happy. (如果你认为某件事能让你快乐，那么它一定能让你快乐。)”表达人们想当然地认为自己了解什么能带来快乐。A项“After all, you know yourself, don’t you?(毕竟，你了解你自己，不是吗？)”顺着上文逻辑，加强这种理所当然的观点，起到承接补充作用，为上文的判断提供了理由，使得段落逻辑完整。故选A。 【17题详解】 上文“Brainstorm a list of all the things that make you happy. Just write whatever comes into your mind without thinking about it too much. (头脑风暴，列出所有让你快乐的事情。写下你想到的任何东西，不要想太多。)”要求先列出让自己快乐的事情，写下你想到的任何事物是第一步操作；E项“Now look at that list and tick all the ones that are enjoyable. (现在看看这个列表，勾选所有令人愉快的)”承接列清单的动作，指导读者查看自己的清单，引出下文“Probably most of them, right? (可能是大多数，对吧？)”反问句，指出查看清单后会发现列的大都是让你快乐的事情，起到过渡作用，符合语境。故选E。 【18题详解】 上文“For most people, only doing things for fun isn’t enough for long-term happiness. (对大多数人来说，仅仅为了乐趣而做的事情不足以获得长期的幸福。)”提出只追求乐趣是不够的，只做享乐的事不足以带来长期快乐；下文“If most of the things on your list of what makes you happy fall under the category of “pleasure”, then that might be what you think makes you happy. But what will actually make you happy is balancing them out with activities that give your life purpose. (如果你清单上让你快乐的大多数事情都属于“快乐”的范畴，那么这可能就是你认为让你快乐的事情。但真正能让你快乐的是用给你生活目标的活动来平衡它们。)”指出真正的快乐是愉悦和有意义的活动的平衡；G项“That’s because your happiness depends on a ‘pleasure–purpose balance’. (那是因为你的快乐取决于‘快乐—目标平衡’。)”解释了上文观点的原因，点明文章核心概念，起到因果衔接作用，并引出将要详细论述的核心概念：快乐—目标平衡。故选G。 【19题详解】 上文“Go back to your list of things that make you happy. (回到让你快乐的事情清单上。)”建议重新查看清单；下文“Can you make another list now you know that purpose is important for happiness? (现在你知道目标对快乐很重要，能再列一份清单吗?”建议重新列一份强调目标的快乐清单；F项“How many of them are activities that add to your sense of purpose? (其中有多少是能增强你的目标感的活动？)”提出了一个具体的问题来引导读者对快乐清单进行更深层次的思考，且与下文写一份带来目标感的清单衔接。故选F。 【20题详解】 上文“There’s an idea of ‘deciding, designing, doing’. First decide what things in life bring you pleasure and/or purpose — which is what your two lists are for. Then, don’t just think about these activities. (这里有一个‘决定、设计、行动’的概念。首先决定生活中哪些事情能给你带来快乐和/或目标——这就是你的两张清单的用途。然后，不要只考虑这些活动。)”提到获得平衡的步骤是“决定、规划、行动”，并阐述了第一步“先决定哪些事带来愉悦/目标”。D项“Design your life so you do as many of them as possible.(规划你的生活，让自己能尽可能多做这些（愉悦/有目标的）活动)”对应步骤里的“规划”环节，和下文“Happiness is built during the process. (快乐建立在过程中)”衔接，照应上文“deciding, designing, doing”。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It was in the cold midwinter, and a pair of beagles (比格犬) trudged through the freezing night, seeking shelter. The father-to-be ____21____ the roadside for some home where his ____22____ companion might rest safely for the night. He looked over at her frequently. She ____23____ along without complaint, her way made heavier by the new life growing inside her. They needed a warm, dry place safe from the bitter wind. When her ____24____ came, it must not be out here along the roadway. Gus Kiebel was driving home from work when he spotted the pair in the ____25____ of his headlights. Gus parked his truck and ____26____ the animals. He stretched out his hands to the beagles, which made no effort to escape. He placed the dogs in his truck, ____27____ a picture of the pair and sent it to his wife, Katie Kiebel. “You cannot put them back out in the snowstorm,” she said. “Bring them home.” The Kiebels prepared a ____28____ for the dogs on their warm enclosed porch, also setting out food and water. The ____29____ animals lay together, the male dog ____30____ lifting his head to fuss over (关怀) his ____31____. The next day, the couple took the dogs to the shelter to drop them off. In the days following, Katie phoned the shelter repeatedly to ____32____ them. Soon after Christmas, the beagles were ____33____, as a pair, to a loving family. It’s a simple story — people who practice ____34____ give shelter from a storm to a homeless couple — but it speaks to the best of our ____35____. 21. A. scanned B. crossed C. blocked D. noticed 22.

My heart was flipping with anticipation, each beat echoing the thrill and pleasure of attending a famous art studio in the heart of the city and trading my paintings. I imagined the busy streets of the city, the towering skyscrapers, and the creative energy that pulsed through every corner. This studio was more than just an opportunity; it was a dream that would come true, and a milestone I had been eagerly waiting for. As I climbed into the taxi to the airport, the driver, a friendly man with a warm smile, greeted me with a cheerful “Good morning”. I responded with a nod, my mind already racing ahead to the studio in that city. “First-time travel?” he asked, catching my gaze in the rear-view mirror (后视镜). “Yes, a big-deal trip in New York,” I replied, my voice tinged with excitement. The driver smiled with a knowing look and said, “Ah, New York! Enjoy your flight. Just watch out for the traffic!” As we chatted, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. The driver showed good manners and the sound of the engine was comforting. And I allowed myself to relax into the moment. The view of Canmore slowly gave way to the open road, and I watched as the landscape transformed, each mile bringing me closer to my destination. But my excitement quickly turned to upset as I stood in the security line at Calgary International Airport. My hands were shockingly empty, no familiar weight of my painting supplies. They were all gone, likely forgotten in the back of the taxi in my rush to catch the flight. A wave of helplessness washed over me when I realized it’s my carelessness that caused this to happen. I stood frozen my mind racing through the implications of arriving in New York without my painting supplies. 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。 However, just as I was about to resign (使听任) myself to this unfortunate event, my phone rang. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With an hour to spare before my flight’s departure, I saw the taxi driver outside the terminal (航站楼). _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 However, just as I was about to resign myself to this unfortunate event, my phone rang. It was the taxi driver. “Sir,” he said in a kind voice. “I found your painting supplies in the back of my cab. I know how important they might be for your trip to New York. I’ll do my best to get them back to you.” Hearing his words, a rush of relief flooded through me. I quickly told him where I was at the airport and thanked him repeatedly. With an hour to spare before my flight’s departure, I saw the taxi driver outside the terminal. He was holding my precious painting supplies in his hands. I rushed towards him and gave him a big hug gratefully. “Thank you so much,” I said, my voice filled with gratitude. He smiled and replied, “It’s nothing. I just couldn’t let your dream trip be ruined.” Then he wished me a great time in New York. I boarded the plane with a heart full of warmth and excitement, ready to embrace the adventure in the city. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了作者在一个清爽的秋日早晨，怀着激动的心情从坎莫尔前往纽约市，准备参加著名艺术工作室活动并交易画作。乘坐出租车去机场时与司机愉快交谈，心情放松。然而，在机场安检处，作者发现自己匆忙中把绘画用品忘在了出租车后座，陷入了无助。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，就在我准备接受这一不幸事件时，我的电话响了。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：出租车司机来电告知找到物品并会归还，作者如释重负致谢。 ②由第二段首句内容“离航班起飞还有一个小时的时候，我看到出租车司机在航站楼外。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：司机归还绘画用品，作者感激，暖心登机开启纽约之旅。 2.续写线索： 出租车司机来电——作者如释重负——归还绘画用品——作者感激——暖心登机 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.说：say/utter ②.发现：find /discover 情绪类 ①.感激地：gratefully/thankfully ②.兴奋：excitement/exhilaration 【点睛】[高分句型1].
