Temperatures are warming up with days getting longer, so we throw off our coats and boots and spend time outside taking in the sun’s warmth. Those signs of spring also signal to many that it’s time to conduct a thorough cleaning in their house, a tradition with roots 1 (date) back to ancient times, symbolizing the transition from the hibernating (冬眠) winter season to the dynamic growth of spring. “We sweep the floor and polish the surface, and 2 these actions represent is that we are honoring a tradition which unites us with past generations,” says Maren Voss, a director at the Museum of the Home in London. Spring cleaning actually arises from various cultures. In Chinese culture, it is customary just before New Year’s Day 3 (tidy) up one’s home so that good fortune will arrive. In Western culture, spring cleaning also has a practical history. In the past, homes 4 (heat) with wood or coal. And oil lamps lit homes 5 electricity was widely used, so dirt built up on surfaces. Here came spring cleaning. However, spring cleaning may have more to do with biology. Some studies suggest more sunlight increases our wakefulness because we produce less melatonin, a chemical that makes us sleepy. Melatonin causes us to become 6 (willing) to refresh our space. When the seasons start to shift, feelings of dullness reduce, and we regain energy and feel 7 (motivate) to deep clean our living environments. Studies have shown that cleaning has a healing effect, as seen by the new generation of “cleanfluencers” 8 are taking social media by storm. Millions of people watch them clean dirty homes and share cleaning tips. What starts 9 a simple video watch often ends with viewers tackling their own household chores. If you haven’t visited the gym lately, 10 (start) your workout at home by washing windows and floors. So pick a room, grab some cleaning supplies and begin. Make your living space as fresh as spring. 【答案】 1．dating 2．what 3．to tidy 4．were heated 5．before/until 6．less willing 7．motivated 8．who/that 9．as/with 10．start 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍春季大扫除的传统起源、中外文化背景及生物学原因，说明光照影响褪黑素让人更愿打扫，还提及清洁博主带动风气，建议人们动手清洁。 1．考查非谓语动词。句意：这些春天的迹象也向许多人传递出一个信息：是时候对自家进行一次彻底的清扫了。这一传统可以追溯到古代，象征着从冬眠般的冬季到充满活力的春季的转变。此处root与date为主动关系，故用现在分词作定语。故填dating。 2．考查主语从句。句意：伦敦“家庭博物馆”的馆长玛伦·沃斯说：“我们清扫地板、擦拭表面，这些举动所体现的正是我们对这一传统表示尊重，这一传统将我们与过去几代人紧密相连。”引导主语从句，从句缺少宾语，指物，指“这些行为所代表的事”用what引导。故填what。 3．考查非谓语动词。句意：在中国文化中，新年前夕人们通常会打扫房屋，以期迎来好运。句型It is customary to do sth.表示“做某事是一种习俗”。故填to tidy。 4．考查时态语态。句意：过去，人们用木材或煤炭来为房屋供暖。主语homes与谓语构成被动关系，根据上文In the past可知为一般过去时的被动语态，谓语用复数。故填were heated。 5．考查状语从句。句意：在电力得到广泛应用之前，人们使用油灯来照明，因此物体表面会积聚灰尘。引导时间状语从句，表示“在……之前”用before；或表示“直到……为止”用until。故填before/until。 6．考查比较级。句意：褪黑素会使我们变得不那么愿意去整理和清洁自己的空间了。结合句意“褪黑素让人困倦，因此更不愿意打扫空间”，用比较级，在前面加less。故填less willing。 7．考查形容词。句意：当季节发生变化时，那种沉闷感会减轻，我们也会重新获得活力，从而有动力对居住环境进行彻底的清洁。作表语，用形容词motivated。故填motivated。 8．考查定语从句。句意：研究表明，清洁具有治愈作用，这一点从那些在社交媒体上风靡一时的“清洁达人”身上就可见一斑。定语从句修饰先行词cleanfluencers，在从句作主语，指人。故填who/that。 9．考查介词。句意：起初只是观看一个简单的视频，但最终却往往会让观众们投入到自己的家务劳动中去。短语start as/with表示“开始于/以……开始”，故填as/with。 10．考查祈使句。句意：如果你最近没去健身房的话，那就先在家里开始锻炼吧，比如先擦窗户和地板。此处为肯定祈使句，应填动词原形。故填start。 Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

So, when I read an article about the 11 of switching one’s phone to a black-and-white color mode, I figured I’d give it a try. The result was shocking. The moment I switched, I no longer felt a(n) 12 need to look at my phone. The number of hours I spent per day on the phone dropped 40 percent, to four hours and 40 minutes per day — still embarrassingly high, but not the dizzying eight-plus hours I was 13 . There are some small 14 to my black-and-white online life. Because the answer and decline buttons on my phone are both gray, I’ll sometimes hang up on a call I want to answer. Fortunately, these days, nobody minds if you just call them back. Besides, games weren’t as fun, so I started playing them on my pad and discovered that I liked the separation between work and play that it 15 : phone for boring stuff; pad for fun. And I’ve found that whenever I return to color, even 16 , I am desperate to turn it off again as quickly as possible. With my eyes no longer used to the brightness, I now find the phone’s colors to be too vivid, too 17 . Two and a half months into this journey, my phone usage remains about four hours per day. And I’m pretty sure I’ll never go back to color on my phone. I feel like turning off color on my phone made me more aware and more 18 of the color and beauty in real life. Now that I am no longer turning to my phone for fun, I find myself 19 it out in other ways — reading more books, watching more movies, planning more gatherings with friends, hanging out with my kids. And those are things I do want to be 20 to. 【答案】 11．D 12．K 13．C 14．G 15．H 16．F 17．E 18．B 19．J 20．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者为克制过度刷手机，将手机调为黑白模式，最终从中获益，并发现了现实生活的美好的故事。 11．考查名词。句意：所以，当我读到一篇关于将手机切换至黑白模式会带来诸多好处的文章时，我就决定试一试。根据下文“I figured I’d give it a try.(我就决定试一试)”可知，此处是指作者读到了这种模式的“好处”，所以才决定试一试。benefits表示“好处”符合句意。故选D项。 12．考查形容词。句意：当我切换到新的模式后，我就不再有迫切想要查看手机的需求了。根据下文“I spent per day on the phone dropped 40 percent, to four hours and 40 minutes per day(我每天花在手机上的时间减少了40%，降至每天4小时40分钟)”可知，作者减少了看手机的时间，说明对看手机已经没有“迫切的”需求了。urgent表示“迫切的”符合句意。故选K项。 13．考查现在分词。句意：我每天花在手机上的时间减少了40%，降到了每天4小时40分钟——虽然这个时间还是相当多的，但已经不再是之前我平均每天用的令人头晕的8个多小时了。根据“not the dizzying eight-plus hours(不再是令人头晕的8个多小时)”可知，此处是指之前“平均”每天8小时用手机的时间。用现在分词averaging与was搭配构成过去进行时描述故去某段时间内持续发生的动作，表示“我（当时）平均每天使用8小时”。故选C项。 14．考查名词。句意：我的这种黑白分明的网络生活也有一些小小的不足之处。根据下文“Because the answer and decline buttons on my phone are both gray, I’ll sometimes hang up on a call I want to answer.(因为我的手机上接听和拒接的按钮都是灰色的，所以我有时会误挂掉本想接听的电话。)”可知，下文列举的是一些不方便的地方，所以此处用downsides表示“缺点”或“不利之处”的词。故选G项。 15．考查动词。句意：此外，游戏也不再那么有趣了，于是我开始在平板电脑上玩这些游戏，并发现它所营造的工作与娱乐的界限分明的氛围让我很喜欢：手机用于处理繁琐事务；平板电脑则用于娱乐活动。根据下文“phone for boring stuff; pad for fun(手机用于处理繁琐事务；平板电脑则用于娱乐活动)”可知，这种模式“强制”或“规定”了手机和平板的不同用途。enforced是动词的过去式，意为“强制”符合句意。故选H项。 16．考查副词。句意：我发现，每当我恢复色彩，即使是短暂的，我都迫切希望尽快再次关闭它。根据下文“I am desperate to turn it off again as quickly as possible.(我迫切希望尽快把它关掉)”可知，此处是指哪怕“短暂地”调回彩色。副词briefly表示“短暂地”符合句意。故选F项。 17．考查形容词。句意：由于我的眼睛不再适应强光环境了，现在我觉得手机上的色彩太过鲜艳、太过刺眼了。根据上文“With my eyes no longer used to the brightness(我的眼睛不再适应强光环境)”可知，此处是指颜色太“刺眼”。blinding表示“刺眼的”符合句意。故选E项。 18．考查形容词。句意：我觉得关闭手机上的色彩功能让我更加敏锐地察觉到现实生活中的色彩之美，并且也更加欣赏这种美了。根据下文“the color and beauty in real life(现实生活中的色彩之美)”可知，此处是指更“欣赏”这种美。appreciative表示“欣赏的”符合句意。故选B项。 19．考查现在分词。句意：如今我不再通过手机来消遣娱乐了，于是便开始以其他方式来寻求娱乐——读更多的书、看更多的电影、与朋友策划更多的聚会、与孩子一起玩耍。根据下文“reading more books, watching more movies, planning more gatherings with friends, hanging out with my kids.(读更多的书、看更多的电影、与朋友策划更多的聚会、与孩子一起玩耍)”可知，此处是指以其他方式“寻求”娱乐。seeking是现在分词做宾补表示“寻求”。故选J项。 20．考查形容词。句意：而那些正是我真正渴望沉迷其中的事物。根据上文第9题的分析可知，这些都是作者“上瘾”的事情，be addicted to是固定搭配，意为“对……上瘾”。故选A项。 II. Reading Comprehension (21 – 35题，每题1分；36 – 50题，每题2分；共45分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. To visitors, the Italian city of Venice displays a splendid picture of historic buildings, waterways, bell towers, and red roofs. Yet the city also features a mighty (威猛的) winged lion, the 21 of what was once called the Venetian Republic (697-1797). Lions of various sizes and materials were carved into structures throughout its streets and squares. Among them, perhaps the 22 version is a bronze statue standing atop a column near St. Mark’s Square. Now, new evidence suggests that this famous statue may have originated not in Europe, but in China. Using chemical analysis on samples taken from the sculpture, a team from the University of Padua 23 the metal used in the statue to the Yangtze River region in China. Their findings 24 long-held assumptions about the statue’s origins. For centuries, experts had believed it was crafted either in Italy or the Middle East — yet its stylish uniqueness remained an enduring 25 . The new discovery may finally help solve that mystery. Though installed in St. Mark’s Square during the 13th century, the lion shows a surprising 26 to artwork produced in China during the Tang Dynasty, rather than that found in medieval (中世纪的) Mediterranean Europe. The researchers point to specific features — the shape of its nose, as well as scars (疤痕) indicating the 27 of earlier horns — as convincing evidence. Further 28 the complexity, the column on which the lion stands is of Middle East origin. And records show the statue has undergone multiple repairs, the earliest dating back to 1293. “It is possible that Marco Polo’s father and uncle, during their four-year stay in China, played a key role in 29 the sculpture,” the researchers note. If so, the object they brought back was 30 a zhènmùshòu — a fierce lion-like grave guardian from the Tang Dynasty. Once transported to Italy, the statue was likely “carefully and laboriously reshaped” to 31 the image of the winged lion of St. Mark, they add. The 32 include removing its original horns and adding a stone “wig” — a piece of headwear that signifies power and authority. 33 , written records are absent, leaving the exact circumstances of its journey open to interpretation. “Though the installation of the lion was intended to project a(n) 34 political message, we may now also view it as a gentle reminder of the connectedness of the medieval world,” the researchers conclude. Ultimately, the lion is a quiet witness to the hidden 35 that once wove the world together. 21．A．territory B．title C．symbol D．status 22．A．worst-affected B．least-visited C．most-needed D．best-known 23．A．owed B．traced C．dated D．applied 24．A．confirm B．overlook C．challenge D．revise 25．A．puzzle B．ritual C．appeal D．beauty 26．A．comparison B．contrast C．dedication D．similarity 27．A．function B．removal C．renewal D．destruction 28．A．breaking down B．putting aside C．adding to D．taking away 29．A．acquiring B．ruining C．studying D．designing 30．A．eventually B．originally C．controversially D．rarely 31．A．present B．protect C．post D．print 32．A．innovations B．interventions C．decorations D．modifications 33．A．Additionally B．Consequently C．Unfortunately D．Accordingly 34．A．vague B．powerful C．urgent D．dangerous 35．A．treasures B．figures C．threads D．patterns 【答案】 21．C 22．D 23．B 24．C 25．A 26．D 27．B 28．C 29．A 30．B 31．A 32．D 33．C 34．B 35．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了意大利威尼斯著名的带翼狮子雕像，新研究表明其可能起源于中国，尽管相关书面记录缺失，但它见证了中世纪世界的联系。 21．考查名词词义辨析。句意：然而，这座城市也以一只威猛的带翼狮子为特色，它是曾经被称为威尼斯共和国（697 - 1797）的象征。A. territory领土；B. title标题；C. symbol象征；D. status地位。根据前文“Yet the city also features a mighty (威猛的) winged lion”以及后文“what was once called the Venetian Republic (697-1797)”可知，带翼狮子是威尼斯共和国的象征。故选C项。 22．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：其中，最著名的版本或许是矗立在圣马可广场附近一根柱子顶端的青铜雕像。A. worst - affected受影响最严重的；B. least - visited参观最少的；C. most - needed最需要的；D. best - known最著名的。根据后文“Now, new evidence suggests that this famous statue may have originated not in Europe, but in China.”可知，此处说的是最著名的雕像。故选D项。 23．考查动词词义辨析。句意：帕多瓦大学的一个研究小组对从雕像上采集的样本进行化学分析后，将雕像所使用的金属追溯到中国长江地区。A. owed归功于；B. traced追溯；C. dated注明日期；D. applied应用。根据后文“the metal used in the statue to the Yangtze River region in China.”可知，这里指把金属的来源追溯到中国长江地区。故选B项。 24．考查动词词义辨析。句意：他们的发现挑战了长期以来关于这座雕像起源的假设。A. confirm证实；B. overlook忽视；C. challenge挑战；D. revise修订。根据后文“For centuries, experts had believed it was crafted either in Italy or the Middle East”可知，之前认为雕像起源于意大利或中东，现在新发现表明起源于中国，这挑战了之前的假设。故选C项。 25．考查名词词义辨析。句意：几个世纪以来，专家们一直认为它是在意大利或中东制作的——然而，它独特的风格仍然是一个持久的谜团。A. puzzle谜团；B. ritual仪式；C. appeal吸引力；D. beauty美丽。根据后文“The new discovery may finally help solve that mystery.”可知，它独特的风格一直是个谜团。故选A项。 26．考查名词词义辨析。句意：尽管这座狮子雕像于13世纪安装在圣马可广场，但它与中国唐代制作的艺术品有着惊人的相似之处，而非中世纪地中海欧洲的艺术品。A. comparison比较；B. contrast对比；C. dedication奉献；D. similarity相似之处。根据后文“rather than that found in medieval (中世纪的) Mediterranean Europe.”可知它与唐代艺术品有相似之处。故选D项。 27．考查名词词义辨析。句意：研究人员指出一些具体特征——它鼻子的形状，以及表明早期角被移除的疤痕——作为令人信服的证据。A. function功能；B. removal移除；C. renewal更新；D. destruction破坏。根据前文“as well as scars (疤痕)”可知，疤痕表明角是被移除的。故选B项。 28．考查动词短语辨析。句意：更添复杂性的是，狮子所站立的柱子起源于中东。A. breaking down分解；B. putting aside搁置；C. adding to增添；D. taking away拿走。根据后文“the column on which the lion stands is of Middle East origin”可知，柱子起源于中东，这增添了整个雕像来源的复杂性。故选C项。 29．考查动词词义辨析。句意：研究人员指出：“马可·波罗的父亲和叔叔在中国停留的四年期间，有可能在获取这座雕塑的过程中发挥了关键作用。”A. acquiring获得；B. ruining毁坏；C. studying学习；D. designing设计。根据前文“Mark’s Square during the 13th century, the lion shows a surprising ____ to artwork produced in China during the Tang Dynasty, rather than that found in medieval (中世纪的) Mediterranean Europe”以及后文“the sculpture”可知，这里指他们可能在获得雕像这件事上起关键作用。故选A项。 30．考查副词词义辨析。句意：如果是这样的话，他们带回的物品最初可能是一个镇墓兽——一种唐代类似狮子的凶猛的坟墓守护者。A. eventually最终；B. originally最初；C. controversially有争议地；D. rarely很少地。根据后文“a zhènmùshòu — a fierce lion-like grave guardian from the Tang Dynasty.”可知，这里说的是物品最初的样子。故选B项。 31．考查动词词义辨析。句意：他们补充说，一旦被运到意大利，这座雕像很可能被“精心且费力地重塑”，以呈现圣马可带翼狮子的形象。A. present呈现；B. protect保护；C. post张贴；D. print印刷。根据前文“carefully and laboriously reshaped”可知，重塑雕像就是为了呈现圣马可带翼狮子的形象。故选A项。 32．考查名词词义辨析。句意：这些修改包括移除它原来的角，并添加一个石头“假发”——一种象征权力和权威的头饰。A. innovations创新；B. interventions干预；C. decorations装饰；D. modifications修改。根据后文“removing its original horns and adding a stone “wig””可知，移除角和添加“假发”属于对雕像的修改。故选D项。 33．考查副词词义辨析。句意：不幸的是，书面记录缺失，其旅程的确切情况有待解读。A.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A 阅读理解A篇高考押题理由 一、主题高度契合高考价值导向 本文讲述13岁少年奥斯汀在家人遇险时，独自游泳4公里、跑步2公里成功求救的真实故事。这一题材完美契合高考英语“立德树人”的命题导向——弘扬勇气、责任与家庭担当，传递积极向上的价值观。 二、题型设置贴近高考命题规律 本文四道题目覆盖高考阅读理解核心考点：第36题考查细节理解（原因追溯），第37题考查词义猜测（语境推断），第38题考查细节归纳，第39题考查主旨大意（标题选择）。题型分布均衡，难度递进合理，符合全国卷及新高考卷的命题习惯。 三、语言难度与文本结构适宜 文章词汇和句式难度适中，包含少量派生词（如depleted, superhuman）和真实对话引语，既考查学生上下文推断能力，又不超出考纲范围。叙事结构清晰（遇险→行动→结果→分析），便于考生快速把握逻辑主线。 四、具备跨学科思维价值 末段引入应激激素释放、求生泳姿节能原理等科学解释，体现“人与社会”“人与自然”的跨学科融合，符合新高考对综合素养的考查趋势。此类“事迹+科学分析”的结构在真题中频繁出现，具有典型押题参考价值 An Australian 13-year-old boy swam 4 km to shore and then ran another 2 km to get help for his family, who were stranded at sea. Austin Appelbee was called “superhuman” for what he did. Experts say his extraordinary effort went beyond what people typically consider possible. Austin and his family were on holiday when suddenly strong winds blew their boards away from the shore. His mother, Joanne, told him to swim to land for help. She knew he was the strongest swimmer and that he could do it. Austin first tried to paddle a kayak (皮划艇), but it took on too much water in the bad weather, so he had to abandon it. About two hours later, he took off his life jacket. “I was depleted, but I could hardly feel the tiredness,” he said. “I just kept on swimming — doing breaststroke, freestyle, and even survival backstroke.” After swimming 4 km to shore in the fading light, the teenager ran another 2 km to his family’s hotel. At about 6 p.m., he used his mother’s phone to call for help. “I told them, ‘I need helicopters. I need planes. I need boats. My family’s out at sea.’ I was very calm about it. I think it was just a lot of shock,” he recalled. Right after the call, he fainted from exhaustion and was taken to hospital. His family were later found floating about 14 km offshore and rescued. Dangerous moments can help people go beyond their limits, and the body releases stress hormones to assist with short-duration activity. But for a swim lasting hours, survival backstroke — a swimming style aimed at conserving energy in saltwater — was crucial. Austin started swimming lessons at age four. He previously found it “quite tiring” to swim just 350 meters without a break. However, this time he made it and proved to be a true hero. 36．Why did Austin set out for help by himself? A．His family were trapped far from the shore. B．The kayak his family used was sinking fast. C．A strong storm separated him from his parents. D．He tried to prove he was the strongest swimmer. 37．The underlined word “depleted” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______. A．cheered up B．blown away C．calmed down D．burned out 38．According to the last paragraph, what enabled Austin to accomplish this long-duration swim? A．Stress hormones released in dangerous situations. B．Survival backstroke conserving energy in saltwater. C．The encouragement he received from the rescue team. D．The swimming training he had received over the years. 39．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．A 13-year-old Boy’s Heroic Rescue B．The Science behind Human Limits C．A Family’s Unexpected Adventure D．The Value of Swimming Training 【答案】36．A 37．D 38．B 39．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一个13岁澳大利亚男孩奥斯汀在家人被困海上时，独自游泳求救并成功救出家人的英勇事迹。 36． 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Austin and his family were on holiday when suddenly strong winds blew their boards away from the shore. His mother, Joanne, told him to swim to land for help. She knew he was the strongest swimmer and that he could do it.(奥斯汀一家人正在度假，突如其来的狂风把他们的冲浪板吹离了岸边。母亲乔安让他游上岸求助，她清楚儿子水性最好，一定能做到。)”以及第三段中“After swimming 4 km to shore in the fading light, the teenager ran another 2 km to his family’s hotel.(在微弱的光线下游了4公里到岸边后，这名少年又跑了2公里到他家人住的酒店。)”可知，奥斯汀的家人被困在离海岸很远的地方，所以他独自出去寻求帮助。故选A。 37．词句猜测题。根据第三段中““I was depleted, but I could hardly feel the tiredness,” he said. “I just kept on swimming — doing breaststroke, freestyle, and even survival backstroke.” After swimming 4 km to shore in the fading light, the teenager ran another 2 km to his family’s hotel.(他说：“我depleted，却几乎感受不到疲惫。我只能一直往前游 —— 蛙泳、自由泳，甚至还用上了求生仰泳。”天色渐暗时，他游完4公里抵达岸边，又跑了2公里赶到家人入住的酒店。)”可知，为救家人，奥斯汀游了很远的距离，感到筋疲力尽，仍继续坚持。此处depleted意为“筋疲力尽的”，与burned out意思相近。故选D。 38．细节理解题。据最后一段中“But for a swim lasting hours, survival backstroke — a swimming style aimed at conserving energy in saltwater — was crucial.(但对于持续数小时的游泳来说，生存仰泳——一种旨在在盐水中保存能量的游泳方式——至关重要。)”可知，生存仰泳这种在盐水中保存能量的游泳方式使奥斯汀能够完成这次长时间的游泳。故选B。 39．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段中“Austin and his family were on holiday when suddenly strong winds blew their boards away from the shore. His mother, Joanne, told him to swim to land for help. She knew he was the strongest swimmer and that he could do it.(奥斯汀一家人正在度假，突如其来的狂风把他们的冲浪板吹离了岸边。母亲乔安让他游上岸求助，她清楚儿子水性最好，一定能做到。)”可知，文章主要讲述了13岁的澳大利亚男孩奥斯汀在家人被困海上时，独自游泳4公里到岸边，再跑2公里寻求帮助，最终成功救出家人的英勇事迹。因此，A选项“一个13岁男孩的英勇救援”最符合文章主旨。故选A。 B Five of the Smartest Robots in History 1966 ELIZA One of the first example of a chatterbot. When running a script labelled with DOCTOR, ELIZA could ask and answer questions like a psychotherapist. It didn’t understand a great deal, but with some clever programming was still able to convince many users of its intelligence. 1994 VIRTUAL CREATURES Computer artist and researcher Karl Sims created a group of virtual creatures that lived in their own virtual universe. Using genetic algorithms (算法), they evolved until they could swim, crawl, jump and compete against one another. Unfortunately, they were too concerned with their own virtual lives to talk to us. 1997 DEEP BLUE Deep Blue was thrown into public consciousness when it won a chess game against grandmaster Garry Kasparov — the first supercomputer to make such a great achievement. However, it was given a lot of help from human programmers and used pretty basic AI methods to think of its moves, so maybe it was not so bright after all. 2011 IBM WATSON IBM Watson was the first AI that beat human players at US TV quiz show Jeopardy!. This AI was clever enough to process text and then found likely answers to the question asked using its internal body of knowledge, which consisted of around 200 million pages of content. Sadly, it struggled to answer some basic questions. 2015 DEEP-Q NETWORK This earlier work from the team behind AlphaGo, the AI that defeated a master of the complex Japanese strategy game Go, learned how to play 49 classic Atari games just by looking at the screen — it didn’t get any help from programmers. While it was brilliant at a lot of the games, it couldn’t get the hang of Pac-Man. 40．Which pair of robots introduced above were actually unintelligent? A．ELIZA and DEEP BLUE. B．DEEP BLUE and IBM WATSON. C．DEEP-Q NETWORK and ELIZA． D．IBM WATSON and DEEP-Q NETWORK. 41．DEEP BLUE and DEEP-Q NETWORK differ from each other in ________.

A．They looked like space creatures. B．They were unable to respond to people. C．They could swim as soon as they were created. D．They led to the application of genetic algorithms. 【答案】40．A 41．B 42．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍历史上五款智能机器人的功能、特点与局限性。 40．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“It didn’t understand a great deal, but with some clever programming was still able to convince many users of its intelligence.(它并不理解很多内容，但凭借一些巧妙的编程，仍然能够让许多用户相信它的智能。)”及第三段中的“However, it was given a lot of help from human programmers and used pretty basic AI methods to think of its moves, so maybe it was not so bright after all.(然而，它得到了人类程序员的大量帮助，并使用非常基础的人工智能方法来思考走法，所以也许它终究没那么聪明。)”可知，ELIZA和DEEP BLUE实际上并不具备真正的智能。故选A项。 41．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“However, it was given a lot of help from human programmers and used pretty basic AI methods to think of its moves.(然而，它得到了人类程序员的大量帮助，并使用非常基础的人工智能方法来思考走法。)”及第五段中的“This earlier work from the team behind AlphaGo, the AI that defeated a master of the complex Japanese strategy game Go, learned how to play 49 classic Atari games just by looking at the screen — it didn’t get any help from programmers.(这款来自击败了复杂日本策略游戏围棋大师的人工智能AlphaGo团队的早期作品，仅仅通过观看屏幕就学会了如何玩49款经典雅达利游戏——它没有得到程序员的任何帮助。)”可知，二者的区别在于是否具备自主学习能力。故选B项。 42．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Unfortunately, they were too concerned with their own virtual lives to talk to us.(不幸的是，它们太专注于自己的虚拟生活，无法与我们交流。)”可知，虚拟生物无法对人类做出回应。故选B项。 C A new study has revealed that the Greenland ice cap is melting far faster than previously thought, as satellite data show widespread ice loss over the past four decades. Using artificial intelligence to analyse satellite photos from 1985 to 2022, researchers mapped the end positions of more than 235,000 glaciers(冰川) around the island. This unusual dataset showed that almost every glacier has become smaller in recent decades, losing an area of about 5,000 sq km of ice-equivalent to a trillion tonnes. The study, published in Nature, adds significant new insight to earlier measurements based on ice height or gravity data, which could only detect losses that ended up in the ocean. By identifying the withdrawal of glaciers lying mostly below sea level in Greenland’s narrow fjords (峡湾), the researchers uncovered an additional and previously unaccounted source of ice loss. Dr Chad Greene, at Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, who led the research, described the changes as “tremendous and happening everywhere.” When the team combined their findings with existing measurements of the Greenland ice sheet, they found the total annual loss of ice since 2003 reached about 264bn tonnes — roughly 30m tonnes every hour. The new data show an increase of 43bn tonnes a year compared with earlier estimates, or about 20% more than previously thought. The implications, scientists warn, are alarming. As Greenland’s glaciers withdraw and release vast quantities of freshwater into the North Atlantic, they may speed up the weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) — a system of ocean currents that regulates global climate. The AMOC is already at its weakest point in 1,600 years, and recent research has indicated it could collapse as soon as 2027 in a worst-case situation. Such a collapse would disrupt global weather patterns, damage ecosystems, and threaten food security worldwide. “There is some concern that any small source of freshwater may serve as a ‘tipping point’ that could trigger a full-scale collapse of the AMOC,” the scientists said. Yet freshwater from Greenland’s glacier withdrawal is not currently included in oceanographic models. The inflow of less salty freshwater slows the normal sinking of heavier, saltier water in the polar region — the engine that drives the AMOC． The findings suggest that Greenland’s hidden ice loss may play a far greater role in the stability of Earth’s climate system than once imagined. 43．What is the main purpose of the article? A．To promote the growing use of AI in environmental science research. B．To report a study revealing faster Greenland ice loss and its global impact. C．To criticize the inaccuracy of previous ice loss measurements in Greenland. D．To describe how scientists discovered a new form of glacier below sea level 44．What can be inferred about previous methods of measuring ice loss? A．They ignored surface melting entirely. B．They overestimated Greenland’s total ice loss. C．They were more accurate than satellite imagery. D．They underestimated losses occurring below sea level. 45．The underlined word “implications” in the 3rd paragraph refers to ______. A．the new measurements of the Greenland ice sheet B．the consequences of faster Greenland ice loss C．the methods used to analyze satellite data D．the warnings from scientists about climate change 46．Which diagram best illustrates the process of AMOC weakening described in the passage? A．Glacier melting → Freshwater inflow → Ocean temperature↑ → AMOC weakening B．Glacial freshwater input→ Ocean saltiness↓—Sinking of salty water↓→ AMOC weakening C．Ocean saltiness↓ → Ice loss data ↑→ Scientist warnings → AMOC weakening D．Ice height measurement↓ → Gravity data↑ → Ocean model error → AMOC weakening 【答案】43．B 44．D 45．B 46．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了新研究借助 AI 分析卫星数据，发现格陵兰冰川融化速度远超以往预估。此前研究存在数据遗漏，大量淡水汇入或削弱关键洋流，严重威胁全球气候与生态稳定。 43．推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第一段“A new study has revealed that the Greenland ice cap is melting far faster than previously thought, as satellite data show widespread ice loss over the past four decades. Using artificial intelligence to analyse satellite photos from 1985 to 2022, researchers mapped the end positions of more than 235,000 glaciers(冰川) around the island. This unusual dataset showed that almost every glacier has become smaller in recent decades, losing an area of about 5,000 sq km of ice-equivalent to a trillion tonnes.( 一项新的研究揭示，格陵兰岛的冰盖融化速度远超此前的预期，卫星数据表明，在过去四十年间，该地区普遍出现了冰层流失的情况。研究人员利用人工智能技术分析了1985年至2022年的卫星照片，绘制出了该岛周围超过23.5万个冰川的最终位置图。这一独特的数据集显示，近几十年来，几乎每一条冰川都变小了，流失的冰面积约为5000平方公里，相当于约一万亿吨的冰量。)”可知，文章开篇点明新研究发现格陵兰冰盖融化速度远超预期，介绍AI分析卫星数据得出的冰层流失数据，补充以往测量的不足，最后重点阐述冰川大量融化对全球洋流AMOC及地球气候的严重影响。由此可知，这篇文章的主要目的是报道一项揭示格陵兰冰川加速融化及其全球影响的研究。故选B项。 44．推理判断题。根据第二段中“The study, published in Nature, adds significant new insight to earlier measurements based on ice height or gravity data, which could only detect losses that ended up in the ocean. By identifying the withdrawal of glaciers lying mostly below sea level in Greenland’s narrow fjords (峡湾), the researchers uncovered an additional and previously unaccounted source of ice loss.( 这项发表在《自然》杂志上的研究为此前基于冰层高度或重力数据的测量结果提供了重要的新见解，这些测量结果只能检测最终流入海洋的冰流失量。通过识别格陵兰岛狭窄峡湾中大多位于海平面以下的冰川的消退情况，研究人员发现了另一个此前未被考虑的冰层流失源。)”可知，以往方法只能检测最终流入海洋的冰流失，完全遗漏了海平面以下峡湾冰川退缩造成的冰流失，因此低估了总冰流失量。故选D项。 45．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“When the team combined their findings with existing measurements of the Greenland ice sheet, they found the total annual loss of ice since 2003 reached about 264bn tonnes-roughly 30m tonnes every hour. The new data show an increase of 43bn tonnes a year compared with earlier estimates, or about 20% more than previously thought.( 当研究团队将他们的研究成果与格陵兰冰盖现有的测量数据相结合后，他们发现自2003年以来格陵兰冰层每年的总消融量达到了约 2640 亿吨——大约每小时 3000 万吨。新的数据表明，与之前的估计相比，每年的冰量增加量为 430 亿吨，即比之前认为的多出约 20%)”可知，第三段先给出惊人的冰流失数据：每年流失2640亿吨，比之前估计多 20%，紧接着说“…scientists warn, are alarming(科学家们警告说，这种implications令人担忧)”，下文随即展开介绍冰盖融化对全球气候的严重后果。由此可知，implications 在此语境中意为“可能的影响、后果”。B选项the consequences of faster Greenland ice loss“格陵兰冰川加速融化所带来的后果”符合语境。故选B项。 46．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Yet freshwater from Greenland’s glacier withdrawal is not currently included in oceanographic models. The inflow of less salty freshwater slows the normal sinking of heavier, saltier water in the polar region-the engine that drives the AMOC.( 然而，格陵兰岛冰川消退带来的淡水目前尚未被纳入海洋学模型中。较淡的淡水流入会减缓极地地区较重、含盐量较高的海水的正常下沉过程——这是驱动大西洋经向翻转环流的动力源。)”可知，完整逻辑链为：格陵兰冰川融化→大量淡水汇入北大西洋→海水盐度降低→极地高盐重水的正常下沉速度减慢→AMOC 的动力来源减弱→AMOC 整体弱化。B选项：冰川淡水输入→海水盐度下降→高盐海水下沉减弱→AMOC 减弱，与原文逻辑链条完全一致。故选B项。 Section C Directions: Read the following passages. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. How Young Americans Spend Their Money Young people have always puzzled their elders. Today’s youngsters are no different; indeed, they are confusing. They have thin wallets and expensive tastes. They prize convenience and a social conscience. They want shopping to be personal. 47 As they start spending in earnest, brands are trying to understand what these walking paradoxes with conflicting features want and how they shop. The answers will define the next era of consumerism. Their absolute numbers are impressive. The European Union is home to nearly 125m people between the ages of ten (the youngest will become consumers in the next few years) and 34. America has another 110m of these Gen-Zs and millennials, a third of the population. The annual spending of households headed by American Gen-Zs and millennials hit $2.7trn in 2021, around 30% of the total. 48 Forrester, a market-research firm, found that most users of “buy now, pay later” apps are around 20. Megan Scott, a 20-year-old student from London, speaks for many of her peers by admitting that, when shopping, she has no self-control—until the bill arrives. The light-speed online world also appears to have lowered tolerances for long delivery times. A study by Salesforce, a business-software giant, found that Gen-Z Americans, who prefer to use their phones to pay for shopping, are the likeliest of all age groups to want their groceries delivered within an hour. 49 The Internet has also changed how the young discover brands. Print, billboard or TV advertising has given way to social media. Instagram, part of Meta’s empire, and TikTok, a Chinese-owned app, are where the young look for inspiration, particularly for goods where looks matter such as fashion, beauty and sportswear. 50 Such apps are increasingly adding features that allow users to shop without ever leaving the platform. According to McKinsey, six in ten Americans under the age of 25 had completed a purchase on a social-media site. A．They desire genuineness while constantly immersed in a digital world. B．TikTok’s user-generated videos can lead even tiny brands to speedy viral fame. C．The lifestyle of the “moonlight clan” has made many young people feel overwhelmed. D．Easy access to means of spreading payments may encourage spending money like water. E．A heightened expectation of convenience comes with being raised in the age of Amazon. F．These “always-on purchasers” often shift from a weekly shop to quicker fixes of everything from fashion to furniture. 【答案】47．A 48．D 49．F 50．B 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了年轻人的购物方式和影响。 47．由上文“They have thin wallets and expensive tastes. They prize convenience and a social conscience. They want shopping to be personal. (他们的钱包很薄，品味很贵。他们看重便利和社会良知。他们希望购物是个性化的。)”和后文“As they start spending in earnest, brands are trying to understand what these walking paradoxes with conflicting features want and how they shop.  (随着他们开始认真消费，各大品牌正试图了解这些特征相互矛盾的“行走悖论”想要什么，以及他们的购物方式。)”可知，本句也和上下句一样，以“They”为主语，论述年轻人的特点，故A选项“They desire genuineness while constantly immersed in a digital world. (他们渴望真诚，同时不断地沉浸在数字世界中。)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选A。 48．由下文“Forrester, a market-research firm, found that most users of “buy now, pay later” apps are around 20. Megan Scott, a 20-year-old student from London, speaks for many of her peers by admitting that, when shopping, she has no self-control—until the bill arrives. (市场研究公司Forrester发现，大多数使用“先买后付”应用程序的用户年龄在20岁左右。来自伦敦的20岁学生梅根·斯科特(Megan Scott)道出了许多同龄人的心声，她承认，在购物时，她没有自制力——直到账单来了。)”可知，本空要说跟“‘先买后付’导致花钱多”有关的话题，故D选项“Easy access to means of spreading payments may encourage spending money like water. (易于获得分散支付的手段可能会鼓励像喝水一样花钱。)”能概括下文，符合题意。故选D。 49．由上文“The light-speed online world also appears to have lowered tolerances for long delivery times. (光速的网络世界似乎也降低了对长时间递送的容忍度。)”和“who prefer to use their phones to pay for shopping, are the likeliest of all age groups to want their groceries delivered within an hour.(更喜欢用手机支付购物费用的人，是所有年龄段中最有可能在一小时内送达食品杂货的人。)”可知，本空要说跟“在线购物”有关的话题，故F选项“These “always-on purchasers” often shift from a weekly shop to quicker fixes of everything from fashion to furniture. (这些“永远在线的购买者”经常从每周的商店转向更快地修复从时尚到家具的一切。)”能承接上文，符合题意。故选F。 50．由上文“Instagram, part of Meta’s empire, and TikTok, a Chinese-owned app, are where the young look for inspiration, particularly for goods where looks matter such as fashion, beauty and sportswear. (Meta帝国的一部分Instagram和中国拥有的应用TikTok是年轻人寻找灵感的地方，尤其是在时尚、美容和运动服等外观重要的商品上。)”可知，本空要说跟“TikTok”有关的话题，故B选项“TikTok’s user-generated videos can lead even tiny brands to speedy viral fame.

Use your own words as far as possible. Obstacles to the correct decision Life is full of choices, some inconsequential, some really significant. But sometimes it can be hard to make the correct one. What are the obstacles that stand between us and a good outcome? Some of us just find it hard to decide. Alice Boyes, writing for Harvard Business Review, tells us this can be connected to perfectionism, where people attempt to find a perfect solution to any problem and are unable to move forward when they can’t find one. It might seem that being indecisive would stop us making the right decision, but in fact it could actually help us make the correct ones. Susan Krauss in Psychology Today reminds us that people often make bad decisions because they base them on preconceptions rather than the context in which things happen. She highlights a paper by researcher Iris Schneider which finds that indecisive people are more likely to look at different perspectives and use them to come to a better decision. So, it could be that a more significant barrier to making the best choice is our cognitive biases. David Robson tells us that intelligence can sometimes stop people making the right decision. People sometimes use intelligence to invent justifications for irrational beliefs. He believes that humility is key to making a good decision. People who can accept that they might be wrong are more likely to consider different viewpoints. He is backed up on this by Jeff Bezos. Tech CEO Jason Fried recalls the Amazon founder saying how the people who were right a lot of the time were the people who often changed their minds. So, maybe rather than indecision, it might be intelligence and decisiveness, backed up by our biases that actually stop us making good choices while humility and indecisiveness could help us pick the best option. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】There are obstacles in decision- making. Some perfectionists are indecisive but in fact their indecisiveness can aid in sound decision-making. Without cognitive biases, indecisive people tend to consider different perspectives. Also, intelligent people like rationalizing unreasonable beliefs instead of admitting their errors. Therefore, the real obstacle to better decision-making is intelligence and decisiveness, rather than indecision. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍说，决策过程中存在障碍。有些完美主义者优柔寡断，但事实上，他们的优柔寡断有助于做出正确的决策。没有认知偏差，优柔寡断的人倾向于考虑不同的观点。此外，聪明的人喜欢把不合理的信念合理化，而不是承认自己的错误。因此，做出更好决策的真正障碍是智慧和果断，而不是优柔寡断。 【详解】1 要点摘录 ①Some of us just find it hard to decide. ②It might seem that being indecisive would stop us making the right decision, but in fact it could actually help us make the correct ones. ③She highlights a paper by researcher Iris Schneider which finds that indecisive people are more likely to look at different perspectives and use them to come to a better decision. So, it could be that a more significant barrier to making the best choice is our cognitive biases. ④David Robson tells us that intelligence can sometimes stop people making the right decision. ⑤People sometimes use intelligence to invent justifications for irrational beliefs. ⑥So, maybe rather than indecision, it might be intelligence and decisiveness, backed up by our biases that actually stop us making good choices while humility and indecisiveness could help us pick the best option. 2.缜密构思 将第1、2、3、6几个要点进行重组，将第4、5两个要点进行整合。 3.遣词造句 There are obstacles in decision- making. Some perfectionists are indecisive but in fact their indecisiveness can aid in sound decision-making. Without cognitive biases, indecisive people tend to consider different perspectives. Also, intelligent people like rationalizing unreasonable beliefs instead of admitting their errors. Therefore, the real obstacle to better decision-making is intelligence and decisiveness, rather than indecision. 【点睛】[高分句型1]：There are obstacles in decision- making.

For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Temperatures are warming up with days getting longer, so we throw off our coats and boots and spend time outside taking in the sun’s warmth. Those signs of spring also signal to many that it’s time to conduct a thorough cleaning in their house, a tradition with roots 1 (date) back to ancient times, symbolizing the transition from the hibernating (冬眠) winter season to the dynamic growth of spring. “We sweep the floor and polish the surface, and 2 these actions represent is that we are honoring a tradition which unites us with past generations,” says Maren Voss, a director at the Museum of the Home in London. Spring cleaning actually arises from various cultures. In Chinese culture, it is customary just before New Year’s Day 3 (tidy) up one’s home so that good fortune will arrive. In Western culture, spring cleaning also has a practical history. In the past, homes 4 (heat) with wood or coal. And oil lamps lit homes 5 electricity was widely used, so dirt built up on surfaces. Here came spring cleaning. However, spring cleaning may have more to do with biology. Some studies suggest more sunlight increases our wakefulness because we produce less melatonin, a chemical that makes us sleepy. Melatonin causes us to become 6 (willing) to refresh our space. When the seasons start to shift, feelings of dullness reduce, and we regain energy and feel 7 (motivate) to deep clean our living environments.

So, when I read an article about the 11 of switching one’s phone to a black-and-white color mode, I figured I’d give it a try. The result was shocking. The moment I switched, I no longer felt a(n) 12 need to look at my phone. The number of hours I spent per day on the phone dropped 40 percent, to four hours and 40 minutes per day — still embarrassingly high, but not the dizzying eight-plus hours I was 13 . There are some small 14 to my black-and-white online life. Because the answer and decline buttons on my phone are both gray, I’ll sometimes hang up on a call I want to answer. Fortunately, these days, nobody minds if you just call them back. Besides, games weren’t as fun, so I started playing them on my pad and discovered that I liked the separation between work and play that it 15 : phone for boring stuff; pad for fun. And I’ve found that whenever I return to color, even 16 , I am desperate to turn it off again as quickly as possible. With my eyes no longer used to the brightness, I now find the phone’s colors to be too vivid, too 17 . Two and a half months into this journey, my phone usage remains about four hours per day. And I’m pretty sure I’ll never go back to color on my phone. I feel like turning off color on my phone made me more aware and more 18 of the color and beauty in real life. Now that I am no longer turning to my phone for fun, I find myself 19 it out in other ways — reading more books, watching more movies, planning more gatherings with friends, hanging out with my kids. And those are things I do want to be 20 to. II. Reading Comprehension (21 – 35题，每题1分；36 – 50题，每题2分；共45分) Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. To visitors, the Italian city of Venice displays a splendid picture of historic buildings, waterways, bell towers, and red roofs. Yet the city also features a mighty (威猛的) winged lion, the 21 of what was once called the Venetian Republic (697-1797). Lions of various sizes and materials were carved into structures throughout its streets and squares. Among them, perhaps the 22 version is a bronze statue standing atop a column near St. Mark’s Square. Now, new evidence suggests that this famous statue may have originated not in Europe, but in China. Using chemical analysis on samples taken from the sculpture, a team from the University of Padua 23 the metal used in the statue to the Yangtze River region in China. Their findings 24 long-held assumptions about the statue’s origins. For centuries, experts had believed it was crafted either in Italy or the Middle East — yet its stylish uniqueness remained an enduring 25 . The new discovery may finally help solve that mystery. Though installed in St. Mark’s Square during the 13th century, the lion shows a surprising 26 to artwork produced in China during the Tang Dynasty, rather than that found in medieval (中世纪的) Mediterranean Europe. The researchers point to specific features — the shape of its nose, as well as scars (疤痕) indicating the 27 of earlier horns — as convincing evidence. Further 28 the complexity, the column on which the lion stands is of Middle East origin. And records show the statue has undergone multiple repairs, the earliest dating back to 1293. “It is possible that Marco Polo’s father and uncle, during their four-year stay in China, played a key role in 29 the sculpture,” the researchers note. If so, the object they brought back was 30 a zhènmùshòu — a fierce lion-like grave guardian from the Tang Dynasty. Once transported to Italy, the statue was likely “carefully and laboriously reshaped” to 31 the image of the winged lion of St. Mark, they add. The 32 include removing its original horns and adding a stone “wig” — a piece of headwear that signifies power and authority. 33 , written records are absent, leaving the exact circumstances of its journey open to interpretation. “Though the installation of the lion was intended to project a(n) 34 political message, we may now also view it as a gentle reminder of the connectedness of the medieval world,” the researchers conclude. Ultimately, the lion is a quiet witness to the hidden 35 that once wove the world together. 21．A．territory B．title C．symbol D．status 22．A．worst-affected B．least-visited C．most-needed D．best-known 23．A．owed B．traced C．dated D．applied 24．A．confirm B．overlook C．challenge D．revise 25．A．puzzle B．ritual C．appeal D．beauty 26．A．comparison B．contrast C．dedication D．similarity 27．A．function B．removal C．renewal D．destruction 28．A．breaking down B．putting aside C．adding to D．taking away 29．A．acquiring B．ruining C．studying D．designing 30．A．eventually B．originally C．controversially D．rarely 31．A．present B．protect C．post D．print 32．A．innovations B．interventions C．decorations D．modifications 33．A．Additionally B．Consequently C．Unfortunately D．Accordingly 34．A．vague B．powerful C．urgent D．dangerous 35．A．treasures B．figures C．threads D．patterns Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A An Australian 13-year-old boy swam 4 km to shore and then ran another 2 km to get help for his family, who were stranded at sea. Austin Appelbee was called “superhuman” for what he did. Experts say his extraordinary effort went beyond what people typically consider possible. Austin and his family were on holiday when suddenly strong winds blew their boards away from the shore. His mother, Joanne, told him to swim to land for help. She knew he was the strongest swimmer and that he could do it. Austin first tried to paddle a kayak (皮划艇), but it took on too much water in the bad weather, so he had to abandon it. About two hours later, he took off his life jacket. “I was depleted, but I could hardly feel the tiredness,” he said. “I just kept on swimming — doing breaststroke, freestyle, and even survival backstroke.” After swimming 4 km to shore in the fading light, the teenager ran another 2 km to his family’s hotel. At about 6 p.m., he used his mother’s phone to call for help. “I told them, ‘I need helicopters. I need planes. I need boats. My family’s out at sea.’ I was very calm about it. I think it was just a lot of shock,” he recalled. Right after the call, he fainted from exhaustion and was taken to hospital. His family were later found floating about 14 km offshore and rescued. Dangerous moments can help people go beyond their limits, and the body releases stress hormones to assist with short-duration activity. But for a swim lasting hours, survival backstroke — a swimming style aimed at conserving energy in saltwater — was crucial. Austin started swimming lessons at age four. He previously found it “quite tiring” to swim just 350 meters without a break. However, this time he made it and proved to be a true hero. 36．Why did Austin set out for help by himself? A．His family were trapped far from the shore. B．The kayak his family used was sinking fast. C．A strong storm separated him from his parents. D．He tried to prove he was the strongest swimmer. 37．The underlined word “depleted” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______. A．cheered up B．blown away C．calmed down D．burned out 38．According to the last paragraph, what enabled Austin to accomplish this long-duration swim? A．Stress hormones released in dangerous situations. B．Survival backstroke conserving energy in saltwater. C．The encouragement he received from the rescue team. D．The swimming training he had received over the years. 39．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．A 13-year-old Boy’s Heroic Rescue B．The Science behind Human Limits C．A Family’s Unexpected Adventure D．The Value of Swimming Training B Five of the Smartest Robots in History 1966 ELIZA One of the first example of a chatterbot. When running a script labelled with DOCTOR, ELIZA could ask and answer questions like a psychotherapist. It didn’t understand a great deal, but with some clever programming was still able to convince many users of its intelligence. 1994 VIRTUAL CREATURES Computer artist and researcher Karl Sims created a group of virtual creatures that lived in their own virtual universe. Using genetic algorithms (算法), they evolved until they could swim, crawl, jump and compete against one another. Unfortunately, they were too concerned with their own virtual lives to talk to us. 1997 DEEP BLUE Deep Blue was thrown into public consciousness when it won a chess game against grandmaster Garry Kasparov — the first supercomputer to make such a great achievement. However, it was given a lot of help from human programmers and used pretty basic AI methods to think of its moves, so maybe it was not so bright after all. 2011 IBM WATSON IBM Watson was the first AI that beat human players at US TV quiz show Jeopardy!. This AI was clever enough to process text and then found likely answers to the question asked using its internal body of knowledge, which consisted of around 200 million pages of content. Sadly, it struggled to answer some basic questions. 2015 DEEP-Q NETWORK This earlier work from the team behind AlphaGo, the AI that defeated a master of the complex Japanese strategy game Go, learned how to play 49 classic Atari games just by looking at the screen — it didn’t get any help from programmers. While it was brilliant at a lot of the games, it couldn’t get the hang of Pac-Man. 40．Which pair of robots introduced above were actually unintelligent? A．ELIZA and DEEP BLUE. B．DEEP BLUE and IBM WATSON. C．DEEP-Q NETWORK and ELIZA． D．IBM WATSON and DEEP-Q NETWORK. 41．DEEP BLUE and DEEP-Q NETWORK differ from each other in ________. A．how many methods they can apply B．whether they have the ability to learn C．whether they have beaten human players D．how they have caught the public attention 42．Which of the following statements is true of VIRTUAL CREATURES? A．They looked like space creatures. B．They were unable to respond to people. C．They could swim as soon as they were created. D．They led to the application of genetic algorithms. C A new study has revealed that the Greenland ice cap is melting far faster than previously thought, as satellite data show widespread ice loss over the past four decades. Using artificial intelligence to analyse satellite photos from 1985 to 2022, researchers mapped the end positions of more than 235,000 glaciers(冰川) around the island. This unusual dataset showed that almost every glacier has become smaller in recent decades, losing an area of about 5,000 sq km of ice-equivalent to a trillion tonnes. The study, published in Nature, adds significant new insight to earlier measurements based on ice height or gravity data, which could only detect losses that ended up in the ocean. By identifying the withdrawal of glaciers lying mostly below sea level in Greenland’s narrow fjords (峡湾), the researchers uncovered an additional and previously unaccounted source of ice loss. Dr Chad Greene, at Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, who led the research, described the changes as “tremendous and happening everywhere.” When the team combined their findings with existing measurements of the Greenland ice sheet, they found the total annual loss of ice since 2003 reached about 264bn tonnes — roughly 30m tonnes every hour. The new data show an increase of 43bn tonnes a year compared with earlier estimates, or about 20% more than previously thought. The implications, scientists warn, are alarming. As Greenland’s glaciers withdraw and release vast quantities of freshwater into the North Atlantic, they may speed up the weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) — a system of ocean currents that regulates global climate. The AMOC is already at its weakest point in 1,600 years, and recent research has indicated it could collapse as soon as 2027 in a worst-case situation. Such a collapse would disrupt global weather patterns, damage ecosystems, and threaten food security worldwide. “There is some concern that any small source of freshwater may serve as a ‘tipping point’ that could trigger a full-scale collapse of the AMOC,” the scientists said. Yet freshwater from Greenland’s glacier withdrawal is not currently included in oceanographic models. The inflow of less salty freshwater slows the normal sinking of heavier, saltier water in the polar region — the engine that drives the AMOC． The findings suggest that Greenland’s hidden ice loss may play a far greater role in the stability of Earth’s climate system than once imagined. 43．What is the main purpose of the article? A．To promote the growing use of AI in environmental science research. B．To report a study revealing faster Greenland ice loss and its global impact. C．To criticize the inaccuracy of previous ice loss measurements in Greenland. D．To describe how scientists discovered a new form of glacier below sea level 44．What can be inferred about previous methods of measuring ice loss? A．They ignored surface melting entirely. B．They overestimated Greenland’s total ice loss. C．They were more accurate than satellite imagery. D．They underestimated losses occurring below sea level. 45．The underlined word “implications” in the 3rd paragraph refers to ______. A．the new measurements of the Greenland ice sheet B．the consequences of faster Greenland ice loss C．the methods used to analyze satellite data D．the warnings from scientists about climate change 46．Which diagram best illustrates the process of AMOC weakening described in the passage? A．Glacier melting → Freshwater inflow → Ocean temperature↑ → AMOC weakening B．Glacial freshwater input→ Ocean saltiness↓—Sinking of salty water↓→ AMOC weakening C．Ocean saltiness↓ → Ice loss data ↑→ Scientist warnings → AMOC weakening D．Ice height measurement↓ → Gravity data↑ → Ocean model error → AMOC weakening Section C Directions: Read the following passages. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. How Young Americans Spend Their Money Young people have always puzzled their elders. Today’s youngsters are no different; indeed, they are confusing. They have thin wallets and expensive tastes. They prize convenience and a social conscience. They want shopping to be personal. 47 As they start spending in earnest, brands are trying to understand what these walking paradoxes with conflicting features want and how they shop. The answers will define the next era of consumerism. Their absolute numbers are impressive. The European Union is home to nearly 125m people between the ages of ten (the youngest will become consumers in the next few years) and 34. America has another 110m of these Gen-Zs and millennials, a third of the population. The annual spending of households headed by American Gen-Zs and millennials hit $2.7trn in 2021, around 30% of the total. 48 Forrester, a market-research firm, found that most users of “buy now, pay later” apps are around 20. Megan Scott, a 20-year-old student from London, speaks for many of her peers by admitting that, when shopping, she has no self-control—until the bill arrives. The light-speed online world also appears to have lowered tolerances for long delivery times. A study by Salesforce, a business-software giant, found that Gen-Z Americans, who prefer to use their phones to pay for shopping, are the likeliest of all age groups to want their groceries delivered within an hour. 49 The Internet has also changed how the young discover brands. Print, billboard or TV advertising has given way to social media. Instagram, part of Meta’s empire, and TikTok, a Chinese-owned app, are where the young look for inspiration, particularly for goods where looks matter such as fashion, beauty and sportswear. 50 Such apps are increasingly adding features that allow users to shop without ever leaving the platform. According to McKinsey, six in ten Americans under the age of 25 had completed a purchase on a social-media site. A．They desire genuineness while constantly immersed in a digital world. B．TikTok’s user-generated videos can lead even tiny brands to speedy viral fame. C．The lifestyle of the “moonlight clan” has made many young people feel overwhelmed. D．Easy access to means of spreading payments may encourage spending money like water. E．A heightened expectation of convenience comes with being raised in the age of Amazon. F．These “always-on purchasers” often shift from a weekly shop to quicker fixes of everything from fashion to furniture. III. Summary Writing (10分) Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Obstacles to the correct decision Life is full of choices, some inconsequential, some really significant. But sometimes it can be hard to make the correct one. What are the obstacles that stand between us and a good outcome? Some of us just find it hard to decide. Alice Boyes, writing for Harvard Business Review, tells us this can be connected to perfectionism, where people attempt to find a perfect solution to any problem and are unable to move forward when they can’t find one. It might seem that being indecisive would stop us making the right decision, but in fact it could actually help us make the correct ones. Susan Krauss in Psychology Today reminds us that people often make bad decisions because they base them on preconceptions rather than the context in which things happen. She highlights a paper by researcher Iris Schneider which finds that indecisive people are more likely to look at different perspectives and use them to come to a better decision. So, it could be that a more significant barrier to making the best choice is our cognitive biases. David Robson tells us that intelligence can sometimes stop people making the right decision. People sometimes use intelligence to invent justifications for irrational beliefs. He believes that humility is key to making a good decision. People who can accept that they might be wrong are more likely to consider different viewpoints. He is backed up on this by Jeff Bezos. Tech CEO Jason Fried recalls the Amazon founder saying how the people who were right a lot of the time were the people who often changed their minds. So, maybe rather than indecision, it might be intelligence and decisiveness, backed up by our biases that actually stop us making good choices while humility and indecisiveness could help us pick the best option. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ IV.

The researchers point to specific features — the shape of its nose, as well as scars (疤痕) indicating the 27 of earlier horns — as convincing evidence. Further 28 the complexity, the column on which the lion stands is of Middle East origin. And records show the statue has undergone multiple repairs, the earliest dating back to 1293. “It is possible that Marco Polo’s father and uncle, during their four-year stay in China, played a key role in 29 the sculpture,” the researchers note. If so, the object they brought back was 30 a zhènmùshòu — a fierce lion-like grave guardian from the Tang Dynasty. Once transported to Italy, the statue was likely “carefully and laboriously reshaped” to 31 the image of the winged lion of St. Mark, they add. The 32 include removing its original horns and adding a stone “wig” — a piece of headwear that signifies power and authority. 33 , written records are absent, leaving the exact circumstances of its journey open to interpretation. “Though the installation of the lion was intended to project a(n) 34 political message, we may now also view it as a gentle reminder of the connectedness of the medieval world,” the researchers conclude. Ultimately, the lion is a quiet witness to the hidden 35 that once wove the world together. 21．A．territory B．title C．symbol D．status 22．A．worst-affected B．least-visited C．most-needed D．best-known 23．A．owed B．traced C．dated D．applied 24．A．confirm B．overlook C．challenge D．revise 25．A．puzzle B．ritual C．appeal D．beauty 26．A．comparison B．contrast C．dedication D．similarity 27．A．function B．removal C．renewal D．destruction 28．A．breaking down B．putting aside C．adding to D．taking away 29．A．acquiring B．ruining C．studying D．designing 30．A．eventually B．originally C．controversially D．rarely 31．A．present B．protect C．post D．print 32．A．innovations B．interventions C．decorations D．modifications 33．A．Additionally B．Consequently C．Unfortunately D．Accordingly 34．A．vague B．powerful C．urgent D．dangerous 35．A．treasures B．figures C．threads D．patterns Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A An Australian 13-year-old boy swam 4 km to shore and then ran another 2 km to get help for his family, who were stranded at sea. Austin Appelbee was called “superhuman” for what he did. Experts say his extraordinary effort went beyond what people typically consider possible. Austin and his family were on holiday when suddenly strong winds blew their boards away from the shore. His mother, Joanne, told him to swim to land for help. She knew he was the strongest swimmer and that he could do it. Austin first tried to paddle a kayak (皮划艇), but it took on too much water in the bad weather, so he had to abandon it. About two hours later, he took off his life jacket. “I was depleted, but I could hardly feel the tiredness,” he said. “I just kept on swimming — doing breaststroke, freestyle, and even survival backstroke.” After swimming 4 km to shore in the fading light, the teenager ran another 2 km to his family’s hotel. At about 6 p.m., he used his mother’s phone to call for help. “I told them, ‘I need helicopters. I need planes. I need boats. My family’s out at sea.’ I was very calm about it. I think it was just a lot of shock,” he recalled. Right after the call, he fainted from exhaustion and was taken to hospital. His family were later found floating about 14 km offshore and rescued. Dangerous moments can help people go beyond their limits, and the body releases stress hormones to assist with short-duration activity. But for a swim lasting hours, survival backstroke — a swimming style aimed at conserving energy in saltwater — was crucial. Austin started swimming lessons at age four. He previously found it “quite tiring” to swim just 350 meters without a break. However, this time he made it and proved to be a true hero. 36．Why did Austin set out for help by himself? A．His family were trapped far from the shore. B．The kayak his family used was sinking fast. C．A strong storm separated him from his parents. D．He tried to prove he was the strongest swimmer. 37．The underlined word “depleted” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______. A．cheered up B．blown away C．calmed down D．burned out 38．According to the last paragraph, what enabled Austin to accomplish this long-duration swim? A．Stress hormones released in dangerous situations. B．Survival backstroke conserving energy in saltwater. C．The encouragement he received from the rescue team. D．The swimming training he had received over the years. 39．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．A 13-year-old Boy’s Heroic Rescue B．The Science behind Human Limits C．A Family’s Unexpected Adventure D．The Value of Swimming Training B Five of the Smartest Robots in History 1966 ELIZA One of the first example of a chatterbot. When running a script labelled with DOCTOR, ELIZA could ask and answer questions like a psychotherapist. It didn’t understand a great deal, but with some clever programming was still able to convince many users of its intelligence. 1994 VIRTUAL CREATURES Computer artist and researcher Karl Sims created a group of virtual creatures that lived in their own virtual universe. Using genetic algorithms (算法), they evolved until they could swim, crawl, jump and compete against one another. Unfortunately, they were too concerned with their own virtual lives to talk to us. 1997 DEEP BLUE Deep Blue was thrown into public consciousness when it won a chess game against grandmaster Garry Kasparov — the first supercomputer to make such a great achievement. However, it was given a lot of help from human programmers and used pretty basic AI methods to think of its moves, so maybe it was not so bright after all. 2011 IBM WATSON IBM Watson was the first AI that beat human players at US TV quiz show Jeopardy!. This AI was clever enough to process text and then found likely answers to the question asked using its internal body of knowledge, which consisted of around 200 million pages of content. Sadly, it struggled to answer some basic questions. 2015 DEEP-Q NETWORK This earlier work from the team behind AlphaGo, the AI that defeated a master of the complex Japanese strategy game Go, learned how to play 49 classic Atari games just by looking at the screen — it didn’t get any help from programmers. While it was brilliant at a lot of the games, it couldn’t get the hang of Pac-Man. 40．Which pair of robots introduced above were actually unintelligent? A．ELIZA and DEEP BLUE. B．DEEP BLUE and IBM WATSON. C．DEEP-Q NETWORK and ELIZA． D．IBM WATSON and DEEP-Q NETWORK. 41．DEEP BLUE and DEEP-Q NETWORK differ from each other in ________. A．how many methods they can apply B．whether they have the ability to learn C．whether they have beaten human players D．how they have caught the public attention 42．Which of the following statements is true of VIRTUAL CREATURES? A．They looked like space creatures. B．They were unable to respond to people. C．They could swim as soon as they were created. D．They led to the application of genetic algorithms. C A new study has revealed that the Greenland ice cap is melting far faster than previously thought, as satellite data show widespread ice loss over the past four decades. Using artificial intelligence to analyse satellite photos from 1985 to 2022, researchers mapped the end positions of more than 235,000 glaciers(冰川) around the island. This unusual dataset showed that almost every glacier has become smaller in recent decades, losing an area of about 5,000 sq km of ice-equivalent to a trillion tonnes. The study, published in Nature, adds significant new insight to earlier measurements based on ice height or gravity data, which could only detect losses that ended up in the ocean. By identifying the withdrawal of glaciers lying mostly below sea level in Greenland’s narrow fjords (峡湾), the researchers uncovered an additional and previously unaccounted source of ice loss. Dr Chad Greene, at Nasa’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, who led the research, described the changes as “tremendous and happening everywhere.” When the team combined their findings with existing measurements of the Greenland ice sheet, they found the total annual loss of ice since 2003 reached about 264bn tonnes — roughly 30m tonnes every hour. The new data show an increase of 43bn tonnes a year compared with earlier estimates, or about 20% more than previously thought. The implications, scientists warn, are alarming. As Greenland’s glaciers withdraw and release vast quantities of freshwater into the North Atlantic, they may speed up the weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) — a system of ocean currents that regulates global climate. The AMOC is already at its weakest point in 1,600 years, and recent research has indicated it could collapse as soon as 2027 in a worst-case situation. Such a collapse would disrupt global weather patterns, damage ecosystems, and threaten food security worldwide. “There is some concern that any small source of freshwater may serve as a ‘tipping point’ that could trigger a full-scale collapse of the AMOC,” the scientists said. Yet freshwater from Greenland’s glacier withdrawal is not currently included in oceanographic models. The inflow of less salty freshwater slows the normal sinking of heavier, saltier water in the polar region — the engine that drives the AMOC． The findings suggest that Greenland’s hidden ice loss may play a far greater role in the stability of Earth’s climate system than once imagined. 43．What is the main purpose of the article? A．To promote the growing use of AI in environmental science research. B．To report a study revealing faster Greenland ice loss and its global impact. C．To criticize the inaccuracy of previous ice loss measurements in Greenland. D．To describe how scientists discovered a new form of glacier below sea level 44．What can be inferred about previous methods of measuring ice loss? A．They ignored surface melting entirely. B．They overestimated Greenland’s total ice loss. C．They were more accurate than satellite imagery. D．They underestimated losses occurring below sea level. 45．The underlined word “implications” in the 3rd paragraph refers to ______. A．the new measurements of the Greenland ice sheet B．the consequences of faster Greenland ice loss C．the methods used to analyze satellite data D．the warnings from scientists about climate change 46．Which diagram best illustrates the process of AMOC weakening described in the passage? A．Glacier melting → Freshwater inflow → Ocean temperature↑ → AMOC weakening B．Glacial freshwater input→ Ocean saltiness↓—Sinking of salty water↓→ AMOC weakening C．Ocean saltiness↓ → Ice loss data ↑→ Scientist warnings → AMOC weakening D．Ice height measurement↓ → Gravity data↑ → Ocean model error → AMOC weakening Section C Directions: Read the following passages.

How Young Americans Spend Their Money Young people have always puzzled their elders. Today’s youngsters are no different; indeed, they are confusing. They have thin wallets and expensive tastes. They prize convenience and a social conscience. They want shopping to be personal. 47 As they start spending in earnest, brands are trying to understand what these walking paradoxes with conflicting features want and how they shop. The answers will define the next era of consumerism. Their absolute numbers are impressive. The European Union is home to nearly 125m people between the ages of ten (the youngest will become consumers in the next few years) and 34. America has another 110m of these Gen-Zs and millennials, a third of the population. The annual spending of households headed by American Gen-Zs and millennials hit $2.7trn in 2021, around 30% of the total. 48 Forrester, a market-research firm, found that most users of “buy now, pay later” apps are around 20. Megan Scott, a 20-year-old student from London, speaks for many of her peers by admitting that, when shopping, she has no self-control—until the bill arrives. The light-speed online world also appears to have lowered tolerances for long delivery times. A study by Salesforce, a business-software giant, found that Gen-Z Americans, who prefer to use their phones to pay for shopping, are the likeliest of all age groups to want their groceries delivered within an hour. 49 The Internet has also changed how the young discover brands. Print, billboard or TV advertising has given way to social media. Instagram, part of Meta’s empire, and TikTok, a Chinese-owned app, are where the young look for inspiration, particularly for goods where looks matter such as fashion, beauty and sportswear. 50 Such apps are increasingly adding features that allow users to shop without ever leaving the platform. According to McKinsey, six in ten Americans under the age of 25 had completed a purchase on a social-media site. A．They desire genuineness while constantly immersed in a digital world. B．TikTok’s user-generated videos can lead even tiny brands to speedy viral fame. C．The lifestyle of the “moonlight clan” has made many young people feel overwhelmed. D．Easy access to means of spreading payments may encourage spending money like water. E．A heightened expectation of convenience comes with being raised in the age of Amazon. F．These “always-on purchasers” often shift from a weekly shop to quicker fixes of everything from fashion to furniture. III. Summary Writing (10分) Directions: Read the following passage.

Obstacles to the correct decision Life is full of choices, some inconsequential, some really significant. But sometimes it can be hard to make the correct one. What are the obstacles that stand between us and a good outcome? Some of us just find it hard to decide. Alice Boyes, writing for Harvard Business Review, tells us this can be connected to perfectionism, where people attempt to find a perfect solution to any problem and are unable to move forward when they can’t find one. It might seem that being indecisive would stop us making the right decision, but in fact it could actually help us make the correct ones. Susan Krauss in Psychology Today reminds us that people often make bad decisions because they base them on preconceptions rather than the context in which things happen. She highlights a paper by researcher Iris Schneider which finds that indecisive people are more likely to look at different perspectives and use them to come to a better decision. So, it could be that a more significant barrier to making the best choice is our cognitive biases. David Robson tells us that intelligence can sometimes stop people making the right decision. People sometimes use intelligence to invent justifications for irrational beliefs. He believes that humility is key to making a good decision. People who can accept that they might be wrong are more likely to consider different viewpoints. He is backed up on this by Jeff Bezos. Tech CEO Jason Fried recalls the Amazon founder saying how the people who were right a lot of the time were the people who often changed their minds. So, maybe rather than indecision, it might be intelligence and decisiveness, backed up by our biases that actually stop us making good choices while humility and indecisiveness could help us pick the best option. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ IV.
