A. what B. who C. why D. how 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——约翰，你在为什么做准备？——我爷爷的生日要到了。我打算为他举办一场派对。 what什么；who谁；why为什么；how怎样。根据答语“My grandfather’s birthday is coming. I plan to hold a party for him.”，前句是在询问John正在为“什么”做准备，应填what。 2. Read the quotation (引文) of Lao Tzu and find out who it will be useful to________. A. travel abroad but thinks he or she is too old to travel B. study abroad but is afraid to live in a foreign country C. take part in an activity but has little time for it D. learn another language but can’t speak one word yet 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：阅读老子的引文“千里之行，始于足下”，找出它对哪类人有用。 travel abroad but thinks he or she is too old to travel出国旅行但认为自己年纪太大不适合旅行；study abroad but is afraid to live in a foreign country出国留学但害怕在国外生活；take part in an activity but has little time for it参加活动但几乎没有时间；learn another language but can’t speak one word yet学习另一种语言但还一句都不会说。这句引文强调任何远大目标都要从第一步开始，学习语言也需要从最基础的表达开始，哪怕现在一句都不会，只要开始积累就能进步，因此learn another language but can’t speak one word yet 符合语境。 3. —Shall we watch a movie on Friday or Saturday night? —________ is fine. I’m free on both days. A. Both B. Either C. Neither D. None 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我们周五晚上还是周六晚上看电影？——哪天都行。我这两天都有空。 Both两者都；Either任何一个；Neither两者都不；None没有一个。根据后句“I’m free on both days.”可知，回答者周五和周六都有空，因此两天中“任何一天”都可以。同时，根据空格后的谓语动词“is”可知，主语应使用单数概念的代词。Either符合“两者选其一”且作主语时谓语动词用单数的语法规则，应填Either。 4. —How do you like AI, Betty? —I think it is like a ________ partner who never runs out of ideas.

A. can B. shall C. must D. would 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：——我觉得我吃得太多了。现在我感觉真的很累，而且反应迟钝。——也许你可以喝点水，散散步。这可能会让你感觉好些。 “can”意为“可以；能够”，用于提出建议或表示能力；“shall”常用于第一人称，表示将来或征求意见；“must”意为“必须”，语气较为强烈；“would”意为“将会”，常用于虚拟语气或表示意愿。根据前句“Now I feel really tired and sluggish.”以及后句“It might help you feel better.”，可知此处是在提出建议，用“can”表示“可以”，符合语境。 7.

A. by B. with C. from D. through 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：她通过公开演讲的经历建立了自信，因为每一次机会都让她面对自己的恐惧，并随着时间的推移提高自己的技能。 考查介词辨析。by通过，其后要接名词，侧重于方式或手段的选择；with用，其后通常接工具；from来自；through通过，其后接凭借的方式或途径，侧重于过程的描述。根据“She built her confidence…her experiences in public speaking”可知，此处指“通过公开演讲的经历”，应用介词through。故选D。 8. — Can Jimmy help us with the problem? — Yes, his promise is ________ gold. Trust him! A. as long as B. as well as C. as good as D. as much as 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——Jimmy能帮我们解决这个问题吗？——是的，他的承诺非常可靠。相信他！ 考查as…as同级比较。as long as只要；as well as和；as good as和……一样好；as much as多达。根据下文“Trust him!”可知，这里指的是他的承诺非常可靠，as good as gold表示“十分可靠”，符合句意。故选C。 9. —Mum, I want to watch The Chinese Poetry Competition on CCTV-3 tonight. —Oh, dear, it ________ for nearly twenty minutes.

Buttermilk the cow was in Mama’s daisy patch (雏菊地). Mama was planning to sell daisy bouquets (花束) at the fair next week. But Buttermilk was eating the flowers. Taylor ___16___ outside. When I grow up, I’ll be an artist and paint pictures all day, Taylor thought. I’ll never own a cow. Too much ___17___. Just as Taylor was about to snap the lead rope onto Buttermilk’s collar (颈圈), the family dog, Red, rounded the corner of the house. The cow couldn’t stand Red. Buttermilk took off, tearing through the daisies and across the yard. She finally ran through the open gate and into the field. “Thank goodness.” Taylor said as she closed the gate. She turned to look at the flower garden. Most of the daisies were either ___18___ or trampled (践踏). Mama came out of the house. “What’s going on?” she asked. She looked ___19___ at her garden. “I forgot to ___20___ the gate,” Taylor said. “I’m so sorry.” “I know you are.” Mama sighed and gave Taylor a hug. “You learned an important lesson today.” Taylor’s heart was ___21___ as she went back into the house. She had to think of a way to make it up to her mother. A painting on the wall caught Taylor’s eye. “That’s it,” she whispered. The morning of the fair, Dad loaded daisy bouquets into the van. “That’s half the number I usually have, but it’s ___22___ worth taking them,” Mama said. “Mama,” said Taylor, “I have a surprise for you upstairs.” Mama smiled. “Really? Let’s see it.” When they reached Taylor’s bedroom, Taylor opened the door. Daisy ___23___ were everywhere, bright and cheerful in the morning light. “Wow,” said Mama. “Do you think anyone will ___24___ them?” Taylor asked.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了Taylor因忘记关栅栏导致妈妈的雏菊地被奶牛破坏，她感到愧疚并用画作弥补，最终在集市上以画作表达爱意的故事。 【15题详解】 句意：“不！”她叫道，此时完全清醒了。 根据前文“opened her sleepy eyes”以及看到窗外情景后惊呼，可知她“醒来”了，应用awake。alive“活着的”、asleep“睡着的”、alone“独自的”，均不符合从睡梦中惊醒的语境。 【16题详解】 句意：泰勒急忙跑到外面。 根据情况紧急，她应“匆忙”跑出去，应用hurried。walked“走”、jumped“跳”、jogged“慢跑”，均不能体现急迫的心情。 【17题详解】 句意：养奶牛太麻烦了。 根据前文奶牛破坏花园，Taylor认为养奶牛带来“麻烦”，应用trouble。fun“乐趣”、food“食物”、money“钱”，均不符合她此时抱怨的语气。 【18题详解】 句意：大多数雏菊要么被吃掉，要么被践踏了。 根据前文Buttermilk在吃花，以及被狗惊跑时踩踏，应用eaten表示“被吃”。played“玩耍”、wasted“浪费”、beaten“被打”，均不符合奶牛的行为。 【19题详解】 句意：她伤心地看着她的花园。 花园被毁，妈妈应是“伤心地”看着，应用sadly。happily“高兴地”、badly“糟糕地”、nervously“紧张地”，均不符合情境。 【20题详解】 句意：“我忘了关门，”泰勒说。 根据前文奶牛跑进花园是因为门没关，应用close表示“关闭”。push“推”、pull“拉”、open“打开”，均与忘记关门的逻辑相反。 【21题详解】 句意：泰勒回到屋里时心情沉重。 因自己犯错导致妈妈失望，她心情“沉重”，应用heavy。light“轻快的”、warm“温暖的”、cold“冷淡的”，均不符合愧疚的心情。 【22题详解】 句意：那是我通常数量的一半，但仍然值得带它们去。 尽管数量减少，妈妈认为“仍然”值得拿去集市，应用still。hardly“几乎不”、nearly“几乎”、even“甚至”，均不符合句意。 【23题详解】 句意：雏菊画随处可见，在晨光中明亮而欢快。 根据前文Taylor想到用画画弥补，此处她展示是“画作”，应用paintings。flowers“花”、fields“田地”、gardens“花园”，均不符合她画的物品。 【24题详解】 句意：“你觉得会有人买它们吗？”泰勒问道。 她希望妈妈能卖掉画作来弥补损失，应用buy表示“购买”。plant“种植”、sell“卖”、paint“画”，其中sell虽相关，但问句询问是否有人会买，buy更准确。 四、阅读理解 A 25.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一张改编自加拿大18-64岁成人24小时活动指南的健康生活海报，标题为Here’s how to have A HEALTHY 24 HOURS，介绍了身体活动、睡眠、久坐行为的健康建议。 【25题详解】 海报标题为Here’s how to have A HEALTHY 24 HOURS，内容围绕健康生活的各项建议展开，因此这是一张健康指南海报。 【26题详解】 根据海报中Spend some quiet time for stress relief、make moving the norm, not just sitting—take a dance break等日常活动建议，“Exercise Snacks”指在一天中穿插进行的短时碎片化运动，即Quick exercises done during the day。 【27题详解】 海报提到make sure to be active的方式，看电视时保持活跃的方法之一是Walk in place，而非坐着、躺着或静止站立。 B 28. “Multitasking” was first used to describe the abilities of________ .

B 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕“是否应该停止多任务处理”展开辩论，介绍了多任务处理定义、相关研究结论，以及支持和反对停止多任务处理的理由，并附上了上周的民意调查结果，最后邀请读者发表看法。 【28题详解】 文中提到“The term ‘multitasking’ was first used in the 1960s to describe the capabilities of a relatively new invention: the modern computer”，说明“multitasking”最初用于描述现代计算机的能力，对应选项A的电脑图片。 【29题详解】 文中提到“Only 2.5% of people can multitask effectively, finishing tasks completely and without mistakes”，说明只有极少数人能高效多任务处理，大多数人无法在少犯错的情况下进行多任务处理。 【30题详解】 文章结尾处有“What do you think?”的提问，同时呈现了正反方观点和调查结果，目的是倾听读者意见并鼓励大家讨论。 C Every Saturday night Mama would count out the money Papa had brought home. Mama would put one or two coins to the side. We would watch with worried interest. At last, Papa would ask, “Is that all?” And when Mama nodded, we could relax a little. Mama would look up and smile, “Good. We do not have to go to the Bank.” We were all so proud of Mama’s Bank Account (账户). It gave us such a good sense of safety. When my brother Nels graduated from grammar school, he wanted to go on to high school. “It will cost a little money,” he said. Hurriedly, we gathered around the table. I took down a box and said this was the “Little Bank”. It was used for emergencies (急事), such as the time when my sister Christine broke her arm and had to be taken to a doctor. Nels listed the costs of the things he would need. Mama counted out the money in the Little Bank. There was not enough. “We do not want to go to the Bank,” she reminded. We all shook our heads. “I will work in Dillon’s store after school,” Nels volunteered. “That’s not enough,” Papa said. Then he took his pipe out of his mouth and looked at it for a long time. “I will give up smoking,” he said suddenly. “I will look after the Elvington children every Friday night,” I said. “Christine can help me.” Now there was enough money. We all felt very good because we didn’t need to draw money out of Mama’s Bank Account. So many things came out of the Little Bank that year: Christine’s dress for the school play, my little sister Dagmar’s operation and so on. No matter what happened, we always knew we still had the Bank to depend upon. That was twenty years ago. Last year I sold my first story. When the check (支票) came, I hurried over to Mama’s and put it in her hand. “For you,” I said, “to put in your Bank Account.” “Tomorrow,” I told Mama, “you must take it to the Bank.” “You will go with me, Katrina?” “That won’t be necessary. Just hand it to the teller (出纳员). He’ll pay it into your account.” Mama looked at me. “__▲__,” she said. “In all my life, I’ve never been inside a bank.” I couldn’t say a single word. “It’s not good for little ones to feel unsafe.” Mama said. 31. What can we learn from the story? A. There are five members in the family. B. Dagmar did a part-time job at that time. C. Nels was a high school student then. D. Papa decided not to smoke any longer. 32. Which of the following is the most suitable for __▲__? A. I don’t have free time. B. I don’t have a bank account. C. I’m worried about safety. D. I’m wondering why. 33. Which is the best title for the story? A. Save Money to Stay Safe. B. Work Hard to Support Family. C. Mama and Her Bank Account. D. Mama and Her Family Members. 【答案】31. D 32. B 33. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者一家围绕妈妈的银行账户展开的故事。妈妈通过虚构的银行账户给家人带来安全感，大家为不从该账户取钱而共同努力，多年后作者才得知妈妈从未进过银行，凸显了妈妈对家人深深的爱 。 【31题详解】 文中提到“Then he took his pipe out of his mouth and looked at it for a long time. ‘I will give up smoking,’ he said suddenly.”，直接表明爸爸决定不再吸烟。 【32题详解】 根据后文“In all my life, I’ve never been inside a bank.”可知，妈妈从未进过银行，所以这里最合适的应该是妈妈说没有账户。 【33题详解】 文章围绕妈妈的银行账户展开，讲述了一系列与这个银行账户有关的故事，C选项“Mama and Her Bank Account”能很好地概括文章主旨。 D Apple’s recent Vision Pro goggles may seem like a fun new piece of tech, but researchers are warning that using this product, especially over the long period, can cause a lot of problems. We already know how virtual (虚拟的) reality can influence us over the short period. For example, those who are trying to post videos of themselves doing activities like driving or skating with these headsets on are going to end up in real trouble, potentially (潜在地) harming themselves and others. The users can’t feel the right sizes and shapes of objects, especially when they move their head. The research team wore Vision Pro and Quest goggles for a few weeks while trying to carry out their everyday activities. For the safety of participants (参与者), a minder stayed nearby to make sure they did not walk into walls; Apple’s Vision Pro User Guide warns that it cannot tell all dangerous conditions, so users could be hurt when they put the goggles on. The participants reported they might have headaches. Moreover, they had problems finding the way around them, like bringing food right to their mouth while eating. Even if they were able to get used to the distance after a while, the harms were already done. These don’t go away once someone takes the goggles off as the body needs time to recover. As a result, someone who is working all day inside these goggles could go home with their system off, potentially causing an accident or harming themselves. The researchers also suggested that it can also influence social communications, because the users can’t reply in time or they may miss social signals from the conversations. This can lead to the impression of being non-human. Another problem is its potential harm on the eyes. The goggles use low-powered lasers (激光器) pointed at your eyes for near and far sensing. It is so dangerous that they warn users to stop using it if they experience changes to their vision, such as double vision or unclear vision. Besides these problems, there is another warning to consider: The Vision Pro collects lots of information about its environment. This includes everything from the user’s eye movements to the people and rooms around them, exposing (泄露) personal information about people and their environment, including their behaviors,locations and preferences. Private information could easily be shared by others if users are not careful. 34. Which phrase has the closest meaning to “recover”? A. show up B. calm down C. get better D. turn over 35. The following paragraph can best go after ________. According to the director of the Virtual Human Interaction Lab at Stanford, there are some strong reasons people should not be wearing these products for long periods. A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4 36. What can we infer from the passage about Apple’s Vision Pro goggles? A. Users make smooth conversations with others. B. Users can go upstairs safely with goggles on. C. Harms to the eyes are able to be cured. D. Users should control the using time for safety. 37. The main purpose of the passage is to show _________. A. the problems caused by goggles B. the working science of goggles C. the reasons for buying goggles D. the advice on wearing goggles 【答案】34. C 35. A 36. D 37. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了Apple Vision Pro这类VR头显长时间使用带来的身体伤害、社交障碍、眼部损伤及隐私泄露等问题。 【34题详解】 第四段提到“the body needs time to recover”，表示身体需要时间恢复，与get better（好转、恢复）意思最接近；show up出现，calm down冷静，turn over翻转，均不符合。 【35题详解】 该句是对前文的概括或引出下文对“长时间佩戴的危害”的强调。原文第3、4、5段都在具体描述危害，但第1段已提出长期使用会有问题，第2段在讲短期已知风险，因此把该句放在第1段之后，作为总起后续危害的过渡最合适。 【36题详解】 全文多次强调长时间使用带来伤害，可推断出用户为安全应控制使用时间，D项正确；其余选项均与原文内容相反。 【37题详解】 文章从头到尾围绕Vision Pro带来的安全、健康、社交、隐私等问题展开，主要目的是说明眼镜带来的问题。 五、词汇运用 (A) 根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡对应题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式 38. Don’t get ________ (急躁的) when you are in trouble. Try to calm down first. 【答案】impatient 【解析】 【详解】句意：遇到麻烦时不要急躁，先试着冷静下来。系动词get后接形容词作表语，“急躁的”英文为impatient，是形容词。 39. There are two beads in the top row, and five beads in the bottom one. Each bead in the top row is ________ (值得) five beads of the bottom row. 【答案】worth 【解析】 【详解】句意：上面一排有两个珠子，下面一排有五个珠子。上面一排的每个珠子都相当于下面一排五个珠子。worth“值得”，be worth sth“值……”。故填worth。 40. The ________ (台词) of Hepburn is always of great power. 【答案】speech 【解析】 【详解】句意：赫本的台词总是很有力量。“台词”对应的英文单词是speech，此处用单数形式与谓语is呼应。 41. The new traffic rule is ________ (违反) the habits of many old drivers. 【答案】against 【解析】 【详解】句意：新的交通规则与许多老司机的驾驶习惯相悖。根据“The new traffic rule is ... the habits of many old drivers.”可知，此处考查短语be against“反对；违反” 。故填against。 42. The ________ (普遍的) view is that we have done well. Cheers! 【答案】general 【解析】 【详解】句意：普遍的观点是我们做得很好。干杯！此处需要形容词修饰名词view，“普遍的”对应的英文单词是general。 (B) 根据句意，在答题卡对应题号的横线上，用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空。 43. “We always respect each other’s choice of development path based on ________ (nation) conditions,” the president said. 【答案】national 【解析】 【详解】句意：总统表示：“我们始终尊重各国基于本国国情自主选择发展道路的权利。”名词conditions前需用形容词修饰，因此将名词nation变为形容词national，构成固定搭配national conditions（国情），符合句子表意和语法要求。 44. Although I didn’t pass the interview, I gained ________ (value) experience. 【答案】valuable 【解析】 【详解】句意：虽然我没有通过面试，但我获得了宝贵的经验。value“价值/重视”，名词/动词；根据“I didn’t pass the interview”可知，失败的经验也是宝贵的经验，修饰名词“experience”应用形容词valuable“宝贵的”。故填valuable。 45. He always had ________ (difficult) making up his mind in the past and missed many good chances. 【答案】difficulty 【解析】 【详解】句意：过去他总是很难下定决心，错过了很多好机会。固定搭配have difficulty (in) doing sth.表示“做某事有困难”，difficult的名词形式是difficulty。 46. The new movie is so ________ (success) directed that many children, even adults like it. 【答案】successfully 【解析】 【详解】句意：这部新电影导演得是如此成功，以至于许多孩子，甚至大人都喜欢它。根据“so… directed that”可知，空格处需要填入一个副词来修饰 “directed”，表示“导演得如此成功”。success的副词形式是successfully，副词修饰动词。故填successfully。 47 It’s a good habit to test the ________ (hot) of water before getting in. 【答案】heat 【解析】 【详解】句意：在进入水中之前测试水的温度是个好习惯。句中“the...of water”表示“水的……”，此处需要一个名词来做test的宾语，hot是形容词，其名词形式为heat“温度”。 六、动词填空 48. It’s ten years since he ________ (start) teaching. 【答案】started 【解析】 【详解】句意：自从他开始教书已经有10年了。since意为“自从”，后接一般过去时。此处考查句型“it is/has been+时间段+since+一般过去时”意为“自从过去发生某事以来，已经有一段时间了。”所以此处用过去式started。故填started。 49. Our parents have done what they can ________ (provide) us with a better life. 【答案】to provide 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们的父母尽他们所能为我们提供更好的生活。provide“提供”，分析句子可知，“尽他们所能”的目的是“给我们提供更好的生活”，此处作目的状语用动词不定式。故填to provide。 50.

Look on the bright side of life, and imagine that you ________ (have) a brilliant future. 【答案】will have 【解析】 【详解】句意：看到生活光明的一面，想象你将拥有一个辉煌的未来。imagine后面接了一个宾语从句，主句“imagine”是现在时，而宾语从句中的动作“have a brilliant future”是将来的事情，所以应该用将来时态，用will have。故填will have。 52. — Well done! You won yesterday’s English speech competition. — Thank you.

Researchers from the University of Toronto in Canada found that people are feeling more bored than before, even though there are endless types of entertainment available. Could this endless entertainment actually be causing increased feelings of boredom? Possibly, the researchers say. In their study, published in Communications Psychology, Katy Tam and Michael Inzlicht looked at data from 2009 to 2020. They also looked at the relationship between digital media and reported feelings of boredom. They found that people are reporting higher levels of boredom than before, with young people and college students feeling bored more often. Many people reported feelings of boredom after engaging with digital media, leading Tam and Inzlicht to believe that this type of entertainment is increasing feelings of boredom. Digital media, they explain, is highly stimulating(令人兴奋的), which could cause people to be less interested in activities with lower stimulation, like reading a book. And with technology offering so many distractions, people find it more difficult to focus on a single activity and take enjoyment from it, the researchers added. There’s also so much information available online that people often engage with quick, unrelated pieces of media instead of longer, more meaningful information, which can leave people feeling unsatisfied and bored. The researchers said we may need to become more comfortable with feeling bored——since not everything in life is meant to be constantly interesting! 58.

Just as Taylor was about to snap the lead rope onto Buttermilk’s collar (颈圈), the family dog, Red, rounded the corner of the house. The cow couldn’t stand Red. Buttermilk took off, tearing through the daisies and across the yard. She finally ran through the open gate and into the field. “Thank goodness.” Taylor said as she closed the gate.

Mama would put one or two coins to the side. We would watch with worried interest. At last, Papa would ask, “Is that all?” And when Mama nodded, we could relax a little. Mama would look up and smile, “Good. We do not have to go to the Bank.” We were all so proud of Mama’s Bank Account (账户). It gave us such a good sense of safety. When my brother Nels graduated from grammar school, he wanted to go on to high school. “It will cost a little money,” he said. Hurriedly, we gathered around the table. I took down a box and said this was the “Little Bank”. It was used for emergencies (急事), such as the time when my sister Christine broke her arm and had to be taken to a doctor. Nels listed the costs of the things he would need. Mama counted out the money in the Little Bank. There was not enough. “We do not want to go to the Bank,” she reminded. We all shook our heads. “I will work in Dillon’s store after school,” Nels volunteered. “That’s not enough,” Papa said. Then he took his pipe out of his mouth and looked at it for a long time. “I will give up smoking,” he said suddenly. “I will look after the Elvington children every Friday night,” I said. “Christine can help me.” Now there was enough money. We all felt very good because we didn’t need to draw money out of Mama’s Bank Account. So many things came out of the Little Bank that year: Christine’s dress for the school play, my little sister Dagmar’s operation and so on. No matter what happened, we always knew we still had the Bank to depend upon. That was twenty years ago. Last year I sold my first story. When the check (支票) came, I hurried over to Mama’s and put it in her hand. “For you,” I said, “to put in your Bank Account.” “Tomorrow,” I told Mama, “you must take it to the Bank.” “You will go with me, Katrina?” “That won’t be necessary. Just hand it to the teller (出纳员). He’ll pay it into your account.” Mama looked at me. “__▲__,” she said. “In all my life, I’ve never been inside a bank.” I couldn’t say a single word. “It’s not good for little ones to feel unsafe.” Mama said. 31. What can we learn from the story? A. There are five members in the family. B. Dagmar did a part-time job at that time. C. Nels was a high school student then. D. Papa decided not to smoke any longer. 32. Which of the following is the most suitable for __▲__? A. I don’t have free time. B. I don’t have a bank account. C. I’m worried about safety. D. I’m wondering why. 33. Which is the best title for the story? A. Save Money to Stay Safe. B. Work Hard to Support Family. C. Mama and Her Bank Account. D. Mama and Her Family Members. D Apple’s recent Vision Pro goggles may seem like a fun new piece of tech, but researchers are warning that using this product, especially over the long period, can cause a lot of problems. We already know how virtual (虚拟的) reality can influence us over the short period. For example, those who are trying to post videos of themselves doing activities like driving or skating with these headsets on are going to end up in real trouble, potentially (潜在地) harming themselves and others. The users can’t feel the right sizes and shapes of objects, especially when they move their head. The research team wore Vision Pro and Quest goggles for a few weeks while trying to carry out their everyday activities. For the safety of participants (参与者), a minder stayed nearby to make sure they did not walk into walls; Apple’s Vision Pro User Guide warns that it cannot tell all dangerous conditions, so users could be hurt when they put the goggles on. The participants reported they might have headaches. Moreover, they had problems finding the way around them, like bringing food right to their mouth while eating. Even if they were able to get used to the distance after a while, the harms were already done. These don’t go away once someone takes the goggles off as the body needs time to recover. As a result, someone who is working all day inside these goggles could go home with their system off, potentially causing an accident or harming themselves. The researchers also suggested that it can also influence social communications, because the users can’t reply in time or they may miss social signals from the conversations. This can lead to the impression of being non-human. Another problem is its potential harm on the eyes. The goggles use low-powered lasers (激光器) pointed at your eyes for near and far sensing. It is so dangerous that they warn users to stop using it if they experience changes to their vision, such as double vision or unclear vision. Besides these problems, there is another warning to consider: The Vision Pro collects lots of information about its environment. This includes everything from the user’s eye movements to the people and rooms around them, exposing (泄露) personal information about people and their environment, including their behaviors,locations and preferences. Private information could easily be shared by others if users are not careful. 34. Which phrase has the closest meaning to “recover”? A. show up B. calm down C. get better D. turn over 35. The following paragraph can best go after ________. According to the director of the Virtual Human Interaction Lab at Stanford, there are some strong reasons people should not be wearing these products for long periods. A. Paragraph 1 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 4 36. What can we infer from the passage about Apple’s Vision Pro goggles? A. Users make smooth conversations with others. B. Users can go upstairs safely with goggles on. C. Harms to the eyes are able to be cured. D. Users should control the using time for safety. 37. The main purpose of the passage is to show _________. A. the problems caused by goggles B. the working science of goggles C. the reasons for buying goggles D. the advice on wearing goggles 五、词汇运用 (A) 根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡对应题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式 38.
