M: I'm worried that. They won't take me seriously and all the pairs in there are super expensive. W: Come on. Let's go see what they have. Maybe we'll both leave with new sunglasses.

Here are some top travel apps for you to use. YelpWhen you are in a new location and need a quick recommendation, Yelp comes in handy. It gives insights into the quality of businesses and services, from restaurants to the way in which they work, based on user reviews. The users can certainly make unfair judgements for personal reasons at times, but Yelp often at least lets you get a sense of what to expect. ZomatoIn China, there is a good chance you have never heard of Zomato. In some countries, however, it is more popular than Yelp, and it covers the same ground. Zomato is a remarkable crowd-sourced review website, mostly for restaurants. In some regions, you can order delivery food through Zomato, too. Happy CowIf you are a person who doesn’t eat meat or fish, or even doesn’t use animal products such as meat, milk or eggs or if you are only looking for a healthy meal option after eating not-so-healthy meals for several days in a row, you are sure to appreciate Happy Cow. The app and web- site help you find restaurants, cafes, health food stores, and other places to get a meat-free meal. TripadvisorYou can read different reviews of hotels, restaurants and even activities, written by members of the Tripadvisor community, as well as see photos they have uploaded so you know what to expect before you arrive. Tripadvisor has relationships with various booking sites, too, which means once you finish researching hotels or restaurants, you can usually reserve them with just a few extra clicks. 21．What do Yelp and Zomato have in common? A．They provide delivery services quickly. B．They expect users to promote their services. C．They only recommend hotels and restaurants. D．They base their recommendations on user reviews. 22．Which app suits the person who doesn’t eat meat? A．Yelp. B．Happy Cow. C．Tripadvisor. D．Zomato. 23．What sets Tripadvisor apart from other travel apps? A．It is offered free of charge. B．It is linked to booking platforms. C．It recommends nearby attractions. D．It gives correct hotel rating information. 【答案】21．D 22．B 23．B 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章推荐了一些顶级的旅游应用程序。 21．推理判断题。根据Yelp部分中的“It gives insights into the quality of businesses and services, from restaurants to the way in which they work, based on user reviews.(根据用户评论，它可以洞察企业和服务的质量，从餐馆到他们的工作方式。)”和Zomato部分中的“Zomato is a remarkable crowd-sourced review website, mostly for restaurants.(Zomato是一个了不起的众包评论网站，主要针对餐馆。)”可知，Yelp和Zomato的共同之处是他们的推荐都基于用户评论。故选D。 22．细节理解题。根据Happy Cow部分中的“If you are a person who doesn’t eat meat or fish, or even doesn’t use animal products such as meat, milk or eggs or if you are only looking for a healthy meal option after eating not-so-healthy meals for several days in a row, you are sure to appreciate Happy Cow.(如果你是一个不吃肉或鱼的人，甚至不使用动物产品，如肉，牛奶或鸡蛋，或者如果你只是在连续几天吃不太健康的食物后寻找健康的膳食选择，你一定会喜欢“开心牛”。)”可知，“开心牛”软件适合不吃肉食的人。故选B。 23．细节理解题。根据Tripadvisor部分中的“Tripadvisor has relationships with various booking sites, too, which means once you finish researching hotels or restaurants, you can usually reserve them with just a few extra clicks.(Tripadvisor也与许多预订网站建立了合作关系，这意味着一旦你搜索完酒店或餐馆，你通常只需再点击几下就可以预订它们。)”可知，Tripadvisor与其它旅行软件的不同之处是它与预订平台链接。故选B。 B The Chinese presence in Latin America is usually portrayed as a relatively recent phenomenon. Yet Mexico City already had a Chinatown as early as the 1600s, thanks to the Manila galleon — a trans-Pacific trade route from Manila to Acapulco that would profoundly shape the Americas over the course of two centuries. In 1565 navigator Andrés de Urdaneta — expressly requested by Spain's King Philip II to join an expedition led by Miguel López de Legazpi to the Philippines — first managed to sail back to New Spain. The significance of this tornaviaje, or return trip, was well understood at the time. ★A contemporary letter noted that “those of Mexico are mighty proud of their discovery, which leads them to believe that they will be the center of the world.” They were arguably correct. The route between China and Spanish America became a lynchpin of the world's first truly global trade network, as some Asian goods passed through Mexico on their way to Europe — while others were sold to eager customers in the New World. Indeed, tens of thousands of Asians — mostly Chinese and Filipinos — began to settle in what was then called New Spain. The contemporary poet Bernardo de Balbuena described Mexico as “the best of all the world, the cream of what is known and produced, here abounds, is sold and cheap.” Among the treasures Balbuena listed were spices from Southeast Asia, ivory, diamonds, Chinese porcelain, Indian fabrics, Siamese ebony, and rubies and emeralds from India and Sri Lanka. The trade from China deeply influenced tastes beyond the few affluent families that could purchase Chinese silk, lacquer furniture, ivory carvings and other luxury goods. Finished items from Asia such as clothing, bed linens and rugs were the mass-market consumer goods of the age, which city-dwellers came to expect and rural populations desired. Suggesting “original design manufacturing”, Chinese manufacturers developed new products for the American market. Chinese manufacturers in Jingdezhen redesigned in local porcelain jícaras and mancerinas — coconut shells or gourds in which chocolate was drunk and the silver mount s that held them — to sell in American and European markets. Meanwhile, Mexico's main domestic pottery industry in Puebla emulated the Chinese blue and white coloring as well as form. 24．How did Urdanet’s expedition in 1565 influence the people in New Spain? A．It triggered conflicts between Asian sailors. B．It inspired their pride in the global position. C．It increased their competition in businesses. D．It shifted their focus of trade to the Philippines. 25．Why does the author mention Balbuena? A．To emphasize Mexico’ s artistic achievements. B．To contrast the lifestyles of urban and rural areas. C．To demonstrate the economic success of Mexico. D．To emphasize the role of poets in documenting history. 26．What does the underlined word “affluent” mean in Paragraph 5? A．Ambitious. B．Wealthy. C．Generous. D．Traditional. 27．What motivated Chinese manufacturers to redesign the porcelain products? A．To preserve traditional techniques. B．To compete with Mexican pottery. C．To reduce the huge production costs. D．To meet American market demands. 【答案】24．B 25．C 26．B 27．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了16世纪起中国与墨西哥通过跨太平洋贸易路线建立的深远联系及其对双方经济文化的影响。 24．细节理解题。根据第二段中“★A contemporary letter noted that “those of Mexico are mighty proud of their discovery, which leads them to believe that they will be the center of the world.”(一封当时的信件提到：“墨西哥人对其发现深感自豪，认为这会使他们成为世界中心。”)”可知，乌尔达内塔的航行激发了新西班牙对全球地位的自豪感。故选B。 25．推理判断题。根据第四段中“The contemporary poet Bernardo de Balbuena described Mexico as “the best of all the world, the cream of what is known and produced, here abounds, is sold and cheap.”(诗人巴尔布埃纳将墨西哥描述为“世界之最，所有已知与生产的精华汇聚于此，物产丰饶且廉价”。)”可知，作者引用巴尔布埃纳的诗句是为了证明墨西哥经济繁荣。故选C。 26．词句猜测题。根据第五段中“The trade from China deeply influenced tastes beyond the few affluent families that could purchase Chinese silk, lacquer furniture, ivory carvings and other luxury goods.(来自中国的贸易深深影响了少数能够购买中国丝绸、漆器家具、象牙雕刻和其他奢侈品的affluent家庭以外的人的品味)”可知，只有富裕家庭才能消费奢侈品，故“affluent”意为“富裕的”。故选B。 27．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Suggesting ‘original design manufacturing’, Chinese manufacturers developed new products for the American market. Chinese manufacturers in Jingdezhen redesigned in local porcelain jícaras and mancerinas — coconut shells or gourds in which chocolate was drunk and the silver mounts that held them — to sell in American and European markets.(这体现了“原始设计制造”，中国制造商为美洲市场开发了新产品。景德镇的中国制造商重新设计了当地的瓷器吉卡拉杯和曼塞里纳杯 —— 即用来喝巧克力的椰子壳或葫芦以及固定它们的银架 —— 以销往美洲和欧洲市场)”可知，中国制造商重新设计瓷器产品是为了满足美洲市场的需求。故选D。 C Are we about to use Gene Editing Technology to grow wings? Will we all be uploading our brains to the Amazon cloud? If you love science and engineering, sci-fi is the place you turn to imagine the answers. The problem is that many people are getting the wrong messages from these visions of tomorrow. There are two main ways that people misread sci-fi. Let’s start with the simpler one, known as the Torment Nexus Problem. Coined in a 2021 tweet, it refers to a situation in which people read or watch a sci-fi story but focus on its futuristic tech — which, in the original stories, is often the very source of human suffering — rather than the story’s actual point. As a result, you get billionaire Peter Thiel co-founding a company called Palantir, named after the fantasy tech of the “seeing stones” in The Lord of the Rings that drive their users to evil and madness. Palantir’s products have recently been used in airstrikes on Gaza. The author J. R. R. Tolkien would not be amused. The second major way people misread science fiction could be called the Blueprint Problem. Essentially, it’s the mistaken idea that sci-fi provides an exact model for what is coming next and if we copy what happens in sci-fi, we will arrive in a glorious future. The Blueprint Problem inspired a lot of early space programmes in the 1950s, which prioritised putting humans into space rather than exploring it remotely with robotic spacecraft. We were told AI would become our obedient servants and brilliant experts in so much sci-fi over the past century, making robocops and holographic (全息的) doctors seem inevitable — but they aren’t. Science fiction isn’t a map or a prescription. Instead, it is a world view, a way of approaching problems with the underlying assumption that things don’t have to be the way they are. The future isn’t predetermined; it’s a process, and people are actively shaping it. 28．The mention of “Palantir” serves to show that ________. A．Tolkien’s work has inspired real-world evil B．name-choosing is vital for a company’s image C．sci-fi serves as a practical guide for inventors D．the sci-fi story’s true message often goes unnoticed 29．What is the “Blueprint Problem” as described in paragraph 3? A．Having robots take over human jobs. B．Viewing sci-fi as a perfect future model. C．Expecting authors to engineer real tech. D．Favoring robots over astronauts in space. 30．What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A．Sci-fi exposes the essence of things. B．Sci-fi is a rigid guide for future planning. C．Sci-fi is a mindset for re-examining reality. D．Sci-fi predicts specific technological outcomes. 31．What can be a suitable title for the passage? A．The Misreading Traps of Sci-Fi B．The Hidden Dangers of Sci-Fi C．The Moral Dilemmas in Sci-Fi D．The Technological Fantasies of Sci-Fi 【答案】28．D 29．B 30．C 31．A 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人们对科幻作品的两种主要误解方式，指出科幻作品并非未来的精确蓝图或实用指南，而是一种世界观，一种以事物不必保持现状为前提的解决问题的方式。 28．推理判断题。根据第二段“Let’s start with the simpler one, known as the Torment Nexus Problem. Coined in a 2021 tweet, it refers to a situation in which people read or watch a sci-fi story but focus on its futuristic tech — which, in the original stories, is often the very source of human suffering — rather than the story’s actual point. As a result, you get billionaire Peter Thiel co-founding a company called Palantir, named after the fantasy tech of the “seeing stones” in The Lord of the Rings that drive their users to evil and madness. Palantir’s products have recently been used in airstrikes on Gaza. The author J. R. R. Tolkien would not be amused.(我们先从较为简单的“折磨核心问题”说起。这个概念源于2021年的一条推文，指的是人们在阅读或观看科幻故事时，只关注其中的未来科技——而在原故事中，这些科技往往正是人类痛苦的根源——却忽略了故事真正的寓意。其结果就是，亿万富翁彼得·蒂尔参与创办了一家名为Palantir的公司，这个名字取自《指环王》中奇幻的“真知晶石”技术，而正是这些晶石将使用者引向邪恶与疯狂。Palantir的产品最近被用于对加沙的空袭。作者J.R.R.托尔金若在天有灵，想必不会觉得好笑)”可知，《指环王》告诫人们科技是人类痛苦的根源，而借用《指环王》中奇幻的“真知晶石”技术命名的 Palantir公司生产的产品却被用于对加沙的空袭，说明人们往往只关注科幻故事中的未来科技，而忽略了故事真正想要传达的信息。故选D项。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The second major way people misread science fiction could be called the Blueprint Problem. Essentially, it’s the mistaken idea that sci-fi provides an exact model for what is coming next and if we copy what happens in sci-fi, we will arrive in a glorious future. (人们误解科幻小说的第二种主要方式可以称为“蓝图问题”。本质上，这是一种错误的观念，即科幻小说为接下来会发生什么提供了一个精确的模型，如果我们模仿科幻小说中发生的事情，我们将迎来一个辉煌的未来)”可知，“蓝图问题”指的是将科幻视为未来完美模型的观点。故选B项。 30．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Science fiction isn’t a map or a prescription. Instead, it is a world view, a way of approaching problems with the underlying assumption that things don’t have to be the way they are. The future isn’t predetermined; it’s a process, and people are actively shaping it. (科幻小说不是地图，也不是处方。相反，它是一种世界观，一种以事物不必保持现状为前提的解决问题的方式。未来不是预先确定的；它是一个过程，人们正在积极地塑造它)”可知，作者在最后一段说科幻小说不是地图，也不是处方，相反，暗示科幻是一种重新审视现实的心态。故选C项。 31．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“The problem is that many people are getting the wrong messages from these visions of tomorrow. (问题在于，许多人从这些对未来的想象中接收到了错误的信息)”、第二段中“There are two main ways that people misread sci-fi. Let’s start with the simpler one, known as the Torment Nexus Problem.(人们误读科幻主要有两种方式。我们先从较为简单的“折磨核心问题”说起)”和第三段“The second major way people misread science fiction could be called the Blueprint Problem. (人们误解科幻小说的第二种主要方式可以称为“蓝图问题”)”可知，文章主要介绍了人们误读科幻作品的两种方式——Torment Nexus问题和Blueprint问题，并指出科幻的真正价值在于提供一种思维方式。故A项“The Misreading Traps of Sci-Fi (科幻的误读陷阱)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选A项。 D As we enter a period of profound economic uncertainty, presaged (预示) by recent high-profile layoffs and a culture of “quiet quitting”, thinking about the future of work might well seem a daunting (令人生畏的) prospect. Indeed, an ever-increasing digital skills gap threatens to stop businesses adopting the game-changing technologies that will help to power growth in the months and years ahead. For instance, with each exciting new technology comes a growing concern about whether we have a digitally savvy (精明的) workforce ready to take advantage of it. After all, keeping the workforce up to speed with the latest advances is a key element of the digital transformation process, which will prove essential if we hope to improve business productivity and efficiency alongside our efforts to achieve sustained growth. Likewise, at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, the cybersecurity skills gap was named as one particular area of concern. There’s good reason for this focus: if businesses can’t protect themselves against external threats, they risk going backwards. And that’s before they even start thinking about achieving growth. This is why we need to address the digital skills gap urgently. Well, we should start by changing the narrative to help us recruit and retain from a more diverse pool of talent, giving businesses a far better chance of finding the up-to-date digital skills they need. And, when it comes to engaging and empowering the current workforce, learning and development opportunities will be key, helping employees to improve their skills for the benefit of both themselves and their employers. To make this all happen, leaders and employers must demonstrate a commitment to teaching their workforces digital skills by setting clear expectations and providing all the resources required. One approach, for example, would be to focus on the potential in the existing talent pool by identifying those already skilled in digital capabilities and supporting them to upskill their colleagues. Creating a culture of learning, with an emphasis on personal growth, can be an impressive motivator in the workplace. Of course, it’s all well and good saying that digital skills are vital, but a workforce with purely hard skills will not future-proof a business. There’s a need for soft skills that support the broader goal, so as not to neglect the other competencies required in a digital transformation: communication, critical thinking, creative design skills, and leadership. To exploit the technology to its full potential, such qualities are equally important. Fundamentally, getting the interaction right between humans and technology will be paramount if businesses are to succeed. As a result, human skills must not be underestimated. Every business will need a range of people with a variety of skills — not only those well-versed in math, engineering, and science, but also those with creative minds and leadership qualities. 32．What is the writer’s main concern in the digital transformation process? A．The threats from technology. B．The shortage of experienced workers. C．The culture of quiet quitting. D．The challenge of upskilling workforces. 33．What can be learnt from paragraph 4 and 5? A．Employers should develop a learning culture inside their workforces. B．High requirements of recruitment ensure a sound workforce. C．Replacing current workforces with digital talents is the key. D．Business leaders should focus on the training of the existing talent pool. 34．What does the underlined word “paramount” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Challenging. B．Inspiring. C．Crucial. D．Beneficial. 35．What might be the writing purpose of the passage? A．To advocate the necessity of improving digital skills. B．To stress the importance of combining hard skills with soft skills. C．To draw people’s attention to the ever-increasing digital skills gap. D．To warn humans of the potential problems with technology. 【答案】32．D 33．A 34．C 35．B 【导语】文章主要讲述了数字技能差距对企业数字化转型的挑战，强调提升员工技能及结合硬软技能的重要性。 32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“After all, keeping the workforce up to speed with the latest advances is a key element of the digital transformation process, which will prove essential if we hope to improve business productivity and efficiency alongside our efforts to achieve sustained growth. (毕竟，让员工跟上最新进展是数字化转型过程的一个关键要素，如果我们希望在实现持续增长的努力中提高企业生产力和效率，这一点将被证明是至关重要的。)”以及第三段中“This is why we need to address the digital skills gap urgently. (这就是为什么我们需要紧急解决数字技能差距问题。)”可知，作者在数字化转型过程中主要关注的是提升员工技能的挑战。 33．推理判断题。根据第四段中“And, when it comes to engaging and empowering the current workforce, learning and development opportunities will be key, helping employees to improve their skills for the benefit of both themselves and their employers. (而且，在吸引和赋能现有员工方面，学习和发展机会将是关键，帮助员工提升技能，既有利于自己，也有利于雇主。)”以及第五段中“Creating a culture of learning, with an emphasis on personal growth, can be an impressive motivator in the workplace. (创造一种强调个人成长的学习文化，可以成为工作场所中令人印象深刻的激励因素。)”可知，雇主应该在员工中培养一种学习文化。 34．词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“Fundamentally, getting the interaction right between humans and technology will be paramount if businesses are to succeed. (从根本上说，如果企业要成功，正确处理人与技术之间的互动将是paramount。)”以及后文“As a result, human skills must not be underestimated. (因此，人的技能不能被低估。)”可知，正确处理人与技术之间的互动对企业成功至关重要，由此可推知，paramount意为“至关重要的”，与Crucial意思相近。 35．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段中“Indeed, an ever-increasing digital skills gap threatens to stop businesses adopting the game-changing technologies that will help to power growth in the months and years ahead. (事实上，日益扩大的数字技能差距有可能阻止企业采用改变游戏规则的技术，而这些技术将有助于在未来几个月和几年推动增长。)”以及第三段中“This is why we need to address the digital skills gap urgently. (这就是为什么我们需要紧急解决数字技能差距问题。)”以及最后一段中“Every business will need a range of people with a variety of skills — not only those well-versed in math, engineering, and science, but also those with creative minds and leadership qualities. (每个企业都需要一系列具有各种技能的人——不仅包括精通数学、工程和科学的人，还包括具有创造性思维和领导才能的人。)”可知，文章主要论述了数字技能差距对企业数字化转型的挑战，并强调了提升员工技能和培养学习文化的重要性，同时指出企业需要结合硬技能和软技能，才能成功应对未来的挑战。由此可推知，文章的写作目的是强调将硬技能与软技能相结合的重要性。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 36 During the wartime, military technologies developed quickly.

Apart from affecting the environment it caused congenital (先天性的) disabilities among the Vietnamese. 38 . Years after the trees were sprayed, many animals and plants were unable to regenerate. ·The Rwandan Genocide One of the major impacts of the Rwandan Genocide was the massive loss of life. It has been estimated that more than 800,000 people died. 39 . Large numbers of trees were cut down to provide wood used by the refugees (难民) as they fled from their homes. The war also reduced the population of wildlife within Rwanda’s borders. ·The Gulf War During the Gulf War, one of the main participants, the Iraqi military, used the scorched earth policy that dramatically affected the land in Kuwait. 40 .

Air raids (空袭) had an extremely destructive impact on wildlife populations as they contributed to the destruction of habitats. Apart from the bombs dropped during air raids, aircraft were also a significant source of air pollution. The most devastating environmental impact of the war was caused by the atomic bombs used by the US on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The atomic bombs destroyed the natural wildlife in the area in seconds. A significant number of fish and land animals died. (战争时期，军事技术发展迅速。空袭对野生动物种群造成了极具破坏性的影响，因为它们造成了栖息地的破坏。除了空袭中投下的炸弹，飞机也是空气污染的一个重要来源。战争中最具破坏性的环境影响是由美国在广岛和长崎使用的原子弹造成的。原子弹在几秒钟内摧毁了该地区的自然野生动物。大量的鱼类和陆地动物死亡。)”可知，第一段主要涉及战争期间，炸弹、飞机、原子弹对动物种群以及其栖息地的破坏，故战争对环境有极大的影响，B项“Environmental Impact of War (战争对环境的影响)”适合作本段小标题。故选B项。 37．本段的小标题为The Vietnam War (越南战争)，是指发生在1961至1975年之间的，美国对越南发动的侵略战争，空后“During the war, the Vietnamese hid in the forests which led to the Americans using chemical agents to clear them. The chemical agents quickly destroyed the trees’ leaves. One of the main chemicals was Agent Orange. Apart from affecting the environment it caused congenital (先天性的) disabilities among the Vietnamese. (战争期间，越南人躲在森林里，导致美国人使用化学制剂清除他们。化学药剂很快就破坏了树木的叶子。其中一种主要的化学物质是橙剂。除了影响环境外，它还在越南人中造成先天性残疾。)”可知，越南战争中，美国方面使用了化学制剂对付越南人，也导致环境污染，G项“The US employed several strategies that greatly affected the environment (美国采取了几项对环境产生重大影响的战略)”与下文衔接连贯，故选G项。 38．上文“One of the main chemicals was Agent Orange. Apart from affecting the environment it caused congenital (先天性的) disabilities among the Vietnamese. (其中一种主要的化学物质是橙剂。除了影响环境外，它还造成了越南人的先天性残疾。)”可知，化学制剂“橙剂”对人的影响，下文“Years after the trees were sprayed, many animals and plants were unable to regenerate. (喷洒树木多年后，许多动物和植物无法再生。)”可知，橙剂导致该地区的动植物无法再生，C项“The wildlife in the region was also affected to a great extent (该地区的野生动物也受到了很大程度的影响)”则表明了橙剂对这个区域的影响，C项有also，起到承上的作用，下文则是对C项的具体解释。上下文衔接连贯。故选C项。 39．上文“One of the major impacts of the Rwandan Genocide was the massive loss of life. It has been estimated that more than 800,000 people died. (卢旺达种族灭绝的主要影响之一是大量的生命损失。据估计，有80多万人死亡。)”可知，卢旺达种族灭绝中，人员死亡数量及大；下文“Large numbers of trees were cut down to provide wood used by the refugees (难民) as they fled from their homes. (大量的树木被砍伐，为逃离家园的难民提供木材。)”可知，难民需要大量木材，导致大量森林被破坏，D项“The activity also resulted in the terrible destruction of forests (这种活动也导致了可怕的森林破坏)”，句中的The activity指代上文中的the Rwandan Genocide，also表明D项与上文为并列关系。上下文衔接连贯。故选D项。 40．根据上文“During the Gulf War, one of the main participants, the Iraqi military, used the scorched earth policy that dramatically affected the land in Kuwait. (在海湾战争期间，主要参与者之一的伊拉克军队使用焦土政策，极大地影响了科威特的土地。)”可知，海湾战争影响到了土地，E项“Apart from this, they also poured vast quantities of oil into the sea (除此之外，他们还向海中倾倒了大量的石油)”，句中this，this指代上文提及的战争影响土地的问题，同时这次战争导致石油对海洋的影响，上下文衔接连贯，故选E项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 After retiring from 35 years of teaching, Ms. Chen felt lost.

They were sitting side by side on the couch as she stood in front of them. They looked at each other a little cautiously, but smiled. Ava took that as a good sign. “In school,” she told them, “we’ve been working on persuasive essays. My teacher said that in order to persuade people you have to have reasons and evidence. You can’t just say the same thing over and over again.” “Well that’s certainly true,” her father said. But Ava wasn’t done yet. “My essay is called Why I Am Responsible and Ready for a Cell Phone,” she continued, smiling as she read. It had been a problem for months. All three of her best friends received cellphones for Christmas. But Ava’s parents would just shake their heads whenever she asked them. For weeks it seemed like there was nothing she could do. But then, a week ago, they had started working on writing persuasive essays at school. It occurred to her that why not write a persuasive essay? For a whole week, she’d worked on her persuasive essay, coming up with all the reasons why she should have a cell phone. She was confident that this essay was the best thing that she had ever written. There was no way her parents wouldn’t be persuaded. “Alright Ava,” her mom said. “We both wanted to wait until you were older to get you a cell phone.” “But, Ava, since you think you are ready for it, this weekend you shall get it. But we want you to understand, a cellphone is not all just fun and games,” her Dad said. “This is a high responsibility.” He started to list all of the ways that she had to be responsible with her phone, but Ava wasn’t listening anymore. She was too busy trying to decide what apps she could download. On the weekend, her plan worked! She had a cellphone! 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 She couldn’t wait to show it to her friends. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ She thought maybe, just maybe, she wasn’t ready for a phone yet. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】She couldn’t wait to show it to her friends. She could barely contain her excitement. Right away, she pulled out her school notebook and turned to the page where she had written the numbers of her friends. She called them one by one and joined in their chat group in no time. She downloaded the games they recommended. Chatting and playing online, everything seemed so wonderful. However, not all things would go as she wished. She began to lose interest in her study and could hardly focus on what the teachers were saying. Even worse, she got a D in a recent exam, which was alarming more than enough for her. She began to reflect on her recent behaviour. She thought maybe, just maybe, she wasn’t ready for a phone yet. Maybe it was time to return the phone to her parents. While she was thinking about returning the phone, she also groaned about the fun that she would miss. What a dilemma, sighed Ava. Sensing Ava’s strange behavior, her parents approached her to inquire what happened. She attempted to say something but felt tongue-tied. Finally, she called up all her courage to tell them what had happened recently. To her surprise, they didn’t blame her. On the contrary, they allowed her to keep her phone as long as she did not commit the same mistake. After that, Ava finally understood what was her father’s so-called responsibility. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Ava想要一部手机，正好学校在教学生写有说服力的文章，Ava通过写了一篇名为《为什么我有责任并准备好使用手机》的说服力的文章，讲述她应获得手机的理由，说服了父母让她拥有手机，周末她有手机了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她迫不及待地想把它给朋友们看。”可知，第一段可描写Ava拿到手机后的激动心情和行为（给朋友打电话、加群聊和下载游戏等），渐渐她对学习失去兴趣，成绩下滑厉害，她开始反思自己最近的行为。 ②由第二段首句内容“她想也许，只是也许，她还没有准备好使用手机。”可知，第二段可描写Ava把手机还给父母，父母问她原因，她把最近发生的事告诉父母，父母并未责备她，还允许她保留手机，她明白了什么是所谓的责任。 2.续写线索：想把手机给朋友们看——兴奋——给朋友打电话、加群聊和下载游戏等——对学习失去兴趣，成绩下滑厉害——开始反思自己最近的行为——觉得自己还未准备好使用手机——把手机还给父母——父母询问，Ava解释原因——父母并未责备她，还允许她保留手机——Ava感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①给某人打电话：call sb. / give sb. a call ②专注于：focus on / concentrate on ③归还：return / give back 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitement / exhilaration ②惊讶：surprise / amazement 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Here are some top travel apps for you to use. YelpWhen you are in a new location and need a quick recommendation, Yelp comes in handy. It gives insights into the quality of businesses and services, from restaurants to the way in which they work, based on user reviews. The users can certainly make unfair judgements for personal reasons at times, but Yelp often at least lets you get a sense of what to expect. ZomatoIn China, there is a good chance you have never heard of Zomato. In some countries, however, it is more popular than Yelp, and it covers the same ground. Zomato is a remarkable crowd-sourced review website, mostly for restaurants. In some regions, you can order delivery food through Zomato, too. Happy CowIf you are a person who doesn’t eat meat or fish, or even doesn’t use animal products such as meat, milk or eggs or if you are only looking for a healthy meal option after eating not-so-healthy meals for several days in a row, you are sure to appreciate Happy Cow. The app and web- site help you find restaurants, cafes, health food stores, and other places to get a meat-free meal. TripadvisorYou can read different reviews of hotels, restaurants and even activities, written by members of the Tripadvisor community, as well as see photos they have uploaded so you know what to expect before you arrive. Tripadvisor has relationships with various booking sites, too, which means once you finish researching hotels or restaurants, you can usually reserve them with just a few extra clicks. 21．What do Yelp and Zomato have in common? A．They provide delivery services quickly. B．They expect users to promote their services. C．They only recommend hotels and restaurants. D．They base their recommendations on user reviews. 22．Which app suits the person who doesn’t eat meat? A．Yelp. B．Happy Cow. C．Tripadvisor. D．Zomato. 23．What sets Tripadvisor apart from other travel apps? A．It is offered free of charge. B．It is linked to booking platforms. C．It recommends nearby attractions. D．It gives correct hotel rating information. B The Chinese presence in Latin America is usually portrayed as a relatively recent phenomenon. Yet Mexico City already had a Chinatown as early as the 1600s, thanks to the Manila galleon — a trans-Pacific trade route from Manila to Acapulco that would profoundly shape the Americas over the course of two centuries. In 1565 navigator Andrés de Urdaneta — expressly requested by Spain's King Philip II to join an expedition led by Miguel López de Legazpi to the Philippines — first managed to sail back to New Spain. The significance of this tornaviaje, or return trip, was well understood at the time. ★A contemporary letter noted that “those of Mexico are mighty proud of their discovery, which leads them to believe that they will be the center of the world.” They were arguably correct. The route between China and Spanish America became a lynchpin of the world's first truly global trade network, as some Asian goods passed through Mexico on their way to Europe — while others were sold to eager customers in the New World. Indeed, tens of thousands of Asians — mostly Chinese and Filipinos — began to settle in what was then called New Spain. The contemporary poet Bernardo de Balbuena described Mexico as “the best of all the world, the cream of what is known and produced, here abounds, is sold and cheap.” Among the treasures Balbuena listed were spices from Southeast Asia, ivory, diamonds, Chinese porcelain, Indian fabrics, Siamese ebony, and rubies and emeralds from India and Sri Lanka. The trade from China deeply influenced tastes beyond the few affluent families that could purchase Chinese silk, lacquer furniture, ivory carvings and other luxury goods. Finished items from Asia such as clothing, bed linens and rugs were the mass-market consumer goods of the age, which city-dwellers came to expect and rural populations desired. Suggesting “original design manufacturing”, Chinese manufacturers developed new products for the American market. Chinese manufacturers in Jingdezhen redesigned in local porcelain jícaras and mancerinas — coconut shells or gourds in which chocolate was drunk and the silver mount s that held them — to sell in American and European markets. Meanwhile, Mexico's main domestic pottery industry in Puebla emulated the Chinese blue and white coloring as well as form. 24．How did Urdanet’s expedition in 1565 influence the people in New Spain? A．It triggered conflicts between Asian sailors. B．It inspired their pride in the global position. C．It increased their competition in businesses. D．It shifted their focus of trade to the Philippines. 25．Why does the author mention Balbuena? A．To emphasize Mexico’ s artistic achievements. B．To contrast the lifestyles of urban and rural areas. C．To demonstrate the economic success of Mexico. D．To emphasize the role of poets in documenting history. 26．What does the underlined word “affluent” mean in Paragraph 5? A．Ambitious. B．Wealthy. C．Generous. D．Traditional. 27．What motivated Chinese manufacturers to redesign the porcelain products? A．To preserve traditional techniques. B．To compete with Mexican pottery. C．To reduce the huge production costs. D．To meet American market demands. C Are we about to use Gene Editing Technology to grow wings? Will we all be uploading our brains to the Amazon cloud? If you love science and engineering, sci-fi is the place you turn to imagine the answers. The problem is that many people are getting the wrong messages from these visions of tomorrow. There are two main ways that people misread sci-fi. Let’s start with the simpler one, known as the Torment Nexus Problem. Coined in a 2021 tweet, it refers to a situation in which people read or watch a sci-fi story but focus on its futuristic tech — which, in the original stories, is often the very source of human suffering — rather than the story’s actual point. As a result, you get billionaire Peter Thiel co-founding a company called Palantir, named after the fantasy tech of the “seeing stones” in The Lord of the Rings that drive their users to evil and madness. Palantir’s products have recently been used in airstrikes on Gaza. The author J. R. R. Tolkien would not be amused. The second major way people misread science fiction could be called the Blueprint Problem. Essentially, it’s the mistaken idea that sci-fi provides an exact model for what is coming next and if we copy what happens in sci-fi, we will arrive in a glorious future. The Blueprint Problem inspired a lot of early space programmes in the 1950s, which prioritised putting humans into space rather than exploring it remotely with robotic spacecraft. We were told AI would become our obedient servants and brilliant experts in so much sci-fi over the past century, making robocops and holographic (全息的) doctors seem inevitable — but they aren’t. Science fiction isn’t a map or a prescription. Instead, it is a world view, a way of approaching problems with the underlying assumption that things don’t have to be the way they are. The future isn’t predetermined; it’s a process, and people are actively shaping it. 28．The mention of “Palantir” serves to show that ________. A．Tolkien’s work has inspired real-world evil B．name-choosing is vital for a company’s image C．sci-fi serves as a practical guide for inventors D．the sci-fi story’s true message often goes unnoticed 29．What is the “Blueprint Problem” as described in paragraph 3? A．Having robots take over human jobs. B．Viewing sci-fi as a perfect future model. C．Expecting authors to engineer real tech. D．Favoring robots over astronauts in space. 30．What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A．Sci-fi exposes the essence of things. B．Sci-fi is a rigid guide for future planning. C．Sci-fi is a mindset for re-examining reality. D．Sci-fi predicts specific technological outcomes. 31．What can be a suitable title for the passage? A．The Misreading Traps of Sci-Fi B．The Hidden Dangers of Sci-Fi C．The Moral Dilemmas in Sci-Fi D．The Technological Fantasies of Sci-Fi D As we enter a period of profound economic uncertainty, presaged (预示) by recent high-profile layoffs and a culture of “quiet quitting”, thinking about the future of work might well seem a daunting (令人生畏的) prospect. Indeed, an ever-increasing digital skills gap threatens to stop businesses adopting the game-changing technologies that will help to power growth in the months and years ahead. For instance, with each exciting new technology comes a growing concern about whether we have a digitally savvy (精明的) workforce ready to take advantage of it. After all, keeping the workforce up to speed with the latest advances is a key element of the digital transformation process, which will prove essential if we hope to improve business productivity and efficiency alongside our efforts to achieve sustained growth. Likewise, at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, the cybersecurity skills gap was named as one particular area of concern. There’s good reason for this focus: if businesses can’t protect themselves against external threats, they risk going backwards. And that’s before they even start thinking about achieving growth. This is why we need to address the digital skills gap urgently. Well, we should start by changing the narrative to help us recruit and retain from a more diverse pool of talent, giving businesses a far better chance of finding the up-to-date digital skills they need. And, when it comes to engaging and empowering the current workforce, learning and development opportunities will be key, helping employees to improve their skills for the benefit of both themselves and their employers. To make this all happen, leaders and employers must demonstrate a commitment to teaching their workforces digital skills by setting clear expectations and providing all the resources required. One approach, for example, would be to focus on the potential in the existing talent pool by identifying those already skilled in digital capabilities and supporting them to upskill their colleagues. Creating a culture of learning, with an emphasis on personal growth, can be an impressive motivator in the workplace. Of course, it’s all well and good saying that digital skills are vital, but a workforce with purely hard skills will not future-proof a business. There’s a need for soft skills that support the broader goal, so as not to neglect the other competencies required in a digital transformation: communication, critical thinking, creative design skills, and leadership. To exploit the technology to its full potential, such qualities are equally important. Fundamentally, getting the interaction right between humans and technology will be paramount if businesses are to succeed. As a result, human skills must not be underestimated. Every business will need a range of people with a variety of skills — not only those well-versed in math, engineering, and science, but also those with creative minds and leadership qualities. 32．What is the writer’s main concern in the digital transformation process? A．The threats from technology. B．The shortage of experienced workers. C．The culture of quiet quitting. D．The challenge of upskilling workforces. 33．What can be learnt from paragraph 4 and 5? A．Employers should develop a learning culture inside their workforces. B．High requirements of recruitment ensure a sound workforce. C．Replacing current workforces with digital talents is the key. D．Business leaders should focus on the training of the existing talent pool. 34．What does the underlined word “paramount” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Challenging. B．Inspiring. C．Crucial. D．Beneficial. 35．What might be the writing purpose of the passage? A．To advocate the necessity of improving digital skills. B．To stress the importance of combining hard skills with soft skills. C．To draw people’s attention to the ever-increasing digital skills gap. D．To warn humans of the potential problems with technology. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 36 During the wartime, military technologies developed quickly. Air raids (空袭) had an extremely destructive impact on wildlife populations as they contributed to the destruction of habitats. Apart from the bombs dropped during air raids, aircraft were also a significant source of air pollution.

She missed interacting with students and work’s sense of purpose. Her children lived afar, and friends were busy with their own families.

They were sitting side by side on the couch as she stood in front of them. They looked at each other a little cautiously, but smiled. Ava took that as a good sign. “In school,” she told them, “we’ve been working on persuasive essays. My teacher said that in order to persuade people you have to have reasons and evidence. You can’t just say the same thing over and over again.” “Well that’s certainly true,” her father said. But Ava wasn’t done yet. “My essay is called Why I Am Responsible and Ready for a Cell Phone,” she continued, smiling as she read. It had been a problem for months. All three of her best friends received cellphones for Christmas. But Ava’s parents would just shake their heads whenever she asked them. For weeks it seemed like there was nothing she could do. But then, a week ago, they had started working on writing persuasive essays at school. It occurred to her that why not write a persuasive essay? For a whole week, she’d worked on her persuasive essay, coming up with all the reasons why she should have a cell phone. She was confident that this essay was the best thing that she had ever written. There was no way her parents wouldn’t be persuaded. “Alright Ava,” her mom said. “We both wanted to wait until you were older to get you a cell phone.” “But, Ava, since you think you are ready for it, this weekend you shall get it. But we want you to understand, a cellphone is not all just fun and games,” her Dad said. “This is a high responsibility.” He started to list all of the ways that she had to be responsible with her phone, but Ava wasn’t listening anymore.

In the digital age, many of us fall into unhealthy habits. We spend long hours staring at screens, lack exercise and often stay up late, which harms our physical and mental health. Actually, technology can help us live better. Fitness apps record daily exercise, and health monitors track our sleep and diet. Online courses also guide us to do regular workouts easily. To stay healthy, individuals should use digital tools wisely. Meanwhile, society should promote healthy digital habits. Only with joint efforts can we enjoy a balanced and healthy life. 第二节（满分25分） 【答案】She couldn’t wait to show it to her friends. She could barely contain her excitement. Right away, she pulled out her school notebook and turned to the page where she had written the numbers of her friends. She called them one by one and joined in their chat group in no time. She downloaded the games they recommended. Chatting and playing online, everything seemed so wonderful. However, not all things would go as she wished. She began to lose interest in her study and could hardly focus on what the teachers were saying. Even worse, she got a D in a recent exam, which was alarming more than enough for her. She began to reflect on her recent behaviour. She thought maybe, just maybe, she wasn’t ready for a phone yet. Maybe it was time to return the phone to her parents. While she was thinking about returning the phone, she also groaned about the fun that she would miss. What a dilemma, sighed Ava. Sensing Ava’s strange behavior, her parents approached her to inquire what happened. She attempted to say something but felt tongue-tied. Finally, she called up all her courage to tell them what had happened recently. To her surprise, they didn’t blame her. On the contrary, they allowed her to keep her phone as long as she did not commit the same mistake. After that, Ava finally understood what was her father’s so-called responsibility. 试卷第6页，共7页 1 / 15 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $高二英语下学期第三次月考（答案卡） 英语·答题卡 姓 名： 缺考 贴条形码区 准考证号 标记 ▣ 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 注意禀项 2 2 2 2 2 2 1.答题前， 考生先将自己的姓名、准考证号码填写清楚，并 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 认真检查监考员所粘贴的条形码。 4 4 2.选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂；非选择题必须用0.5mm 黑色字迹的签字笔填写，字体工整。 56 5 56 5 5 6 6 6 56 5 5 3.请按题号顺序在各题的答题区内作答，超出答题区域范围 6 6 6 6 的答案无效，在草纸、试卷上作答无效。 7 7 78 7 7 7 7 7 7 4.保持卡面清洁，不要折叠、不要弄破、弄皱，不准使用涂 8 8 8 8 78 8 8 8 8 改液、刮纸刀。 9 9 9 9 9 9 9 5.正确填涂 选择题 (请用2B铅笔填涂) 1 [A][B][C] 6[A][B][C] 11[A][B][C] 16IA][B][C] 2 [A][B][C] 7【A]IB]IC] 12[A][B][C] 17[A][B][C] 款 3[A]IB][C] 8 [A][B][C] 13 [AJ[B][C] 18 [A][B][C] 4【A][B][C1 9[A][B][C 14[A][B1[C1 19【A][B][C1 5【AJIB][C] 10 [A][B]IC] 15IA][B][C] 20【A]IB]IC] 21[A][B][C][D] 26[A][B][C]ID] 31[A][B][C][D] 36[A][B][C]ID][E][F][G] 22 [A][B][C][D] 27 [A][B][C][D] 32【A]IB][C1[D] 37【A][B]IC]ID1[E]IE1IG】 23[A][B][C1[D] 28[A][B][C]ID] 33【A][B1[C1[D] 38 [A][B][C][D][E][F][G] 24[A][B][C][D] 29[A][B][C][D] 34 [A][B][C][D] 39 [A][B][C][D][E][F][G] 25 [A][B][C][D] 30[A][B][C]ID] 35[A][B1[C1[D] 40IA][B][C][D][E1[F][G] 41 [A][B][C][D] 46 [A][B][C][D] 51 [A][B][C][D] 42 [A]IB][C][D] 47 [A][B][C][D] 52【A][B1ICID 43【A]IB][C1[D] 48[A][B1[C]ID] 53[A][B][C][D] 射 44[A]IB][C][D] 4 [A][B][C][D] 54[A]IB][C1[D] 45【A]【B][CJ[D] 50[A][B]IC][D] 55[A]IB][C][D] 非选择题（请在各试题的答题区内作答） 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第二节（共10小题； 每小题1.5分，满分15分) 56. 57 58. 59. 60. 61 62. 63 64. 65 请在各题目的答题区域内作答，超出黑色矩形边框限定区域的答案无效！ 英语第1项（共4项） 请在各题目的答题区域内作答，超出黑色矩形边框限定区域的答案无效！ Yours, LiHua 第二节（满分25分） Paragraph 1: 英语第2页（共4页） (近b并)近患兼 :g￥著易阳年☒兴的到毋盖甲避‘易4年习圆易佣目号巢 :t ydergered 1必￥著易阴海☒测的到环联身盖吊群‘易4年☒易明目号巢 i壬孝易闲海☒马的到狂写递吊避‘易斯海☒疆易用目醋号尹巢 请勿在此区域内作答 或者做任何标记 英语第4页（共4贝）听力考试正式开始。For those of you working by yourselves, I expect two pages.

Here are some top travel apps for you to use. YelpWhen you are in a new location and need a quick recommendation, Yelp comes in handy. It gives insights into the quality of businesses and services, from restaurants to the way in which they work, based on user reviews. The users can certainly make unfair judgements for personal reasons at times, but Yelp often at least lets you get a sense of what to expect. ZomatoIn China, there is a good chance you have never heard of Zomato. In some countries, however, it is more popular than Yelp, and it covers the same ground. Zomato is a remarkable crowd-sourced review website, mostly for restaurants. In some regions, you can order delivery food through Zomato, too. Happy CowIf you are a person who doesn’t eat meat or fish, or even doesn’t use animal products such as meat, milk or eggs or if you are only looking for a healthy meal option after eating not-so-healthy meals for several days in a row, you are sure to appreciate Happy Cow. The app and web- site help you find restaurants, cafes, health food stores, and other places to get a meat-free meal. TripadvisorYou can read different reviews of hotels, restaurants and even activities, written by members of the Tripadvisor community, as well as see photos they have uploaded so you know what to expect before you arrive. Tripadvisor has relationships with various booking sites, too, which means once you finish researching hotels or restaurants, you can usually reserve them with just a few extra clicks. 21．What do Yelp and Zomato have in common? A．They provide delivery services quickly. B．They expect users to promote their services. C．They only recommend hotels and restaurants. D．They base their recommendations on user reviews. 22．Which app suits the person who doesn’t eat meat? A．Yelp. B．Happy Cow. C．Tripadvisor. D．Zomato. 23．What sets Tripadvisor apart from other travel apps? A．It is offered free of charge. B．It is linked to booking platforms. C．It recommends nearby attractions. D．It gives correct hotel rating information. B The Chinese presence in Latin America is usually portrayed as a relatively recent phenomenon. Yet Mexico City already had a Chinatown as early as the 1600s, thanks to the Manila galleon — a trans-Pacific trade route from Manila to Acapulco that would profoundly shape the Americas over the course of two centuries. In 1565 navigator Andrés de Urdaneta — expressly requested by Spain's King Philip II to join an expedition led by Miguel López de Legazpi to the Philippines — first managed to sail back to New Spain. The significance of this tornaviaje, or return trip, was well understood at the time. ★A contemporary letter noted that “those of Mexico are mighty proud of their discovery, which leads them to believe that they will be the center of the world.” They were arguably correct. The route between China and Spanish America became a lynchpin of the world's first truly global trade network, as some Asian goods passed through Mexico on their way to Europe — while others were sold to eager customers in the New World. Indeed, tens of thousands of Asians — mostly Chinese and Filipinos — began to settle in what was then called New Spain. The contemporary poet Bernardo de Balbuena described Mexico as “the best of all the world, the cream of what is known and produced, here abounds, is sold and cheap.” Among the treasures Balbuena listed were spices from Southeast Asia, ivory, diamonds, Chinese porcelain, Indian fabrics, Siamese ebony, and rubies and emeralds from India and Sri Lanka. The trade from China deeply influenced tastes beyond the few affluent families that could purchase Chinese silk, lacquer furniture, ivory carvings and other luxury goods. Finished items from Asia such as clothing, bed linens and rugs were the mass-market consumer goods of the age, which city-dwellers came to expect and rural populations desired. Suggesting “original design manufacturing”, Chinese manufacturers developed new products for the American market. Chinese manufacturers in Jingdezhen redesigned in local porcelain jícaras and mancerinas — coconut shells or gourds in which chocolate was drunk and the silver mount s that held them — to sell in American and European markets. Meanwhile, Mexico's main domestic pottery industry in Puebla emulated the Chinese blue and white coloring as well as form. 24．How did Urdanet’s expedition in 1565 influence the people in New Spain? A．It triggered conflicts between Asian sailors. B．It inspired their pride in the global position. C．It increased their competition in businesses. D．It shifted their focus of trade to the Philippines. 25．Why does the author mention Balbuena? A．To emphasize Mexico’ s artistic achievements. B．To contrast the lifestyles of urban and rural areas. C．To demonstrate the economic success of Mexico. D．To emphasize the role of poets in documenting history. 26．What does the underlined word “affluent” mean in Paragraph 5? A．Ambitious. B．Wealthy. C．Generous. D．Traditional. 27．What motivated Chinese manufacturers to redesign the porcelain products? A．To preserve traditional techniques. B．To compete with Mexican pottery. C．To reduce the huge production costs. D．To meet American market demands. C Are we about to use Gene Editing Technology to grow wings? Will we all be uploading our brains to the Amazon cloud? If you love science and engineering, sci-fi is the place you turn to imagine the answers. The problem is that many people are getting the wrong messages from these visions of tomorrow. There are two main ways that people misread sci-fi. Let’s start with the simpler one, known as the Torment Nexus Problem. Coined in a 2021 tweet, it refers to a situation in which people read or watch a sci-fi story but focus on its futuristic tech — which, in the original stories, is often the very source of human suffering — rather than the story’s actual point. As a result, you get billionaire Peter Thiel co-founding a company called Palantir, named after the fantasy tech of the “seeing stones” in The Lord of the Rings that drive their users to evil and madness. Palantir’s products have recently been used in airstrikes on Gaza. The author J. R. R. Tolkien would not be amused. The second major way people misread science fiction could be called the Blueprint Problem. Essentially, it’s the mistaken idea that sci-fi provides an exact model for what is coming next and if we copy what happens in sci-fi, we will arrive in a glorious future. The Blueprint Problem inspired a lot of early space programmes in the 1950s, which prioritised putting humans into space rather than exploring it remotely with robotic spacecraft. We were told AI would become our obedient servants and brilliant experts in so much sci-fi over the past century, making robocops and holographic (全息的) doctors seem inevitable — but they aren’t. Science fiction isn’t a map or a prescription. Instead, it is a world view, a way of approaching problems with the underlying assumption that things don’t have to be the way they are. The future isn’t predetermined; it’s a process, and people are actively shaping it. 28．The mention of “Palantir” serves to show that ________. A．Tolkien’s work has inspired real-world evil B．name-choosing is vital for a company’s image C．sci-fi serves as a practical guide for inventors D．the sci-fi story’s true message often goes unnoticed 29．What is the “Blueprint Problem” as described in paragraph 3?

A．The Misreading Traps of Sci-Fi B．The Hidden Dangers of Sci-Fi C．The Moral Dilemmas in Sci-Fi D．The Technological Fantasies of Sci-Fi D As we enter a period of profound economic uncertainty, presaged (预示) by recent high-profile layoffs and a culture of “quiet quitting”, thinking about the future of work might well seem a daunting (令人生畏的) prospect. Indeed, an ever-increasing digital skills gap threatens to stop businesses adopting the game-changing technologies that will help to power growth in the months and years ahead. For instance, with each exciting new technology comes a growing concern about whether we have a digitally savvy (精明的) workforce ready to take advantage of it. After all, keeping the workforce up to speed with the latest advances is a key element of the digital transformation process, which will prove essential if we hope to improve business productivity and efficiency alongside our efforts to achieve sustained growth. Likewise, at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos, the cybersecurity skills gap was named as one particular area of concern. There’s good reason for this focus: if businesses can’t protect themselves against external threats, they risk going backwards. And that’s before they even start thinking about achieving growth. This is why we need to address the digital skills gap urgently. Well, we should start by changing the narrative to help us recruit and retain from a more diverse pool of talent, giving businesses a far better chance of finding the up-to-date digital skills they need. And, when it comes to engaging and empowering the current workforce, learning and development opportunities will be key, helping employees to improve their skills for the benefit of both themselves and their employers. To make this all happen, leaders and employers must demonstrate a commitment to teaching their workforces digital skills by setting clear expectations and providing all the resources required. One approach, for example, would be to focus on the potential in the existing talent pool by identifying those already skilled in digital capabilities and supporting them to upskill their colleagues. Creating a culture of learning, with an emphasis on personal growth, can be an impressive motivator in the workplace. Of course, it’s all well and good saying that digital skills are vital, but a workforce with purely hard skills will not future-proof a business. There’s a need for soft skills that support the broader goal, so as not to neglect the other competencies required in a digital transformation: communication, critical thinking, creative design skills, and leadership. To exploit the technology to its full potential, such qualities are equally important. Fundamentally, getting the interaction right between humans and technology will be paramount if businesses are to succeed. As a result, human skills must not be underestimated. Every business will need a range of people with a variety of skills — not only those well-versed in math, engineering, and science, but also those with creative minds and leadership qualities. 32．What is the writer’s main concern in the digital transformation process? A．The threats from technology. B．The shortage of experienced workers. C．The culture of quiet quitting. D．The challenge of upskilling workforces. 33．What can be learnt from paragraph 4 and 5? A．Employers should develop a learning culture inside their workforces. B．High requirements of recruitment ensure a sound workforce. C．Replacing current workforces with digital talents is the key. D．Business leaders should focus on the training of the existing talent pool. 34．What does the underlined word “paramount” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Challenging. B．Inspiring. C．Crucial. D．Beneficial. 35．What might be the writing purpose of the passage? A．To advocate the necessity of improving digital skills. B．To stress the importance of combining hard skills with soft skills. C．To draw people’s attention to the ever-increasing digital skills gap. D．To warn humans of the potential problems with technology. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分） 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 36 During the wartime, military technologies developed quickly.

They were sitting side by side on the couch as she stood in front of them. They looked at each other a little cautiously, but smiled. Ava took that as a good sign. “In school,” she told them, “we’ve been working on persuasive essays. My teacher said that in order to persuade people you have to have reasons and evidence. You can’t just say the same thing over and over again.” “Well that’s certainly true,” her father said. But Ava wasn’t done yet. “My essay is called Why I Am Responsible and Ready for a Cell Phone,” she continued, smiling as she read. It had been a problem for months. All three of her best friends received cellphones for Christmas. But Ava’s parents would just shake their heads whenever she asked them. For weeks it seemed like there was nothing she could do. But then, a week ago, they had started working on writing persuasive essays at school. It occurred to her that why not write a persuasive essay? For a whole week, she’d worked on her persuasive essay, coming up with all the reasons why she should have a cell phone. She was confident that this essay was the best thing that she had ever written. There was no way her parents wouldn’t be persuaded. “Alright Ava,” her mom said. “We both wanted to wait until you were older to get you a cell phone.” “But, Ava, since you think you are ready for it, this weekend you shall get it. But we want you to understand, a cellphone is not all just fun and games,” her Dad said. “This is a high responsibility.” He started to list all of the ways that she had to be responsible with her phone, but Ava wasn’t listening anymore. She was too busy trying to decide what apps she could download. On the weekend, her plan worked! She had a cellphone! 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 She couldn’t wait to show it to her friends. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ She thought maybe, just maybe, she wasn’t ready for a phone yet. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第6页，共7页 1 / 15 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
