This trend has been a hard 31 to news organizations. Just two months into 2024, several news organizations are already falling apart. The Messenger shut down in January. Buzz Feed announced it would cut 16% of its 32 staff. Hundreds of local outlets have not been so lucky, closing their doors as advertising dollars disappear. These news organizations are crucial to the communities—both local and national—that they serve. They work hard to ensure that their platforms are 33 in facts and free of abuse. You’re not going to find articles promoting body dysmorphia (身体畸形恐惧症) in the pages of The New York Times. The Wall Street Journal is not going to casually provide carelessly risky investment advice. CNN will not enrich itself through indecent photographs of minors. If any of these companies got involved in such behavior, it would be a major scandal. That would not only leave their reputations scarred but also chase away advertisers. As a result, these organizations 34 heavily in content review. But the technology platforms, for some reason, are judged by different rules. It’s not fair to say the road is 35 with examples pointing to bad behavior. It’s buried in them. Time and time again, companies like Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and others have been caught allowing harmful content to exist on their platforms. In many cases, such content has not only been permitted to exist, but encouraged by powerful algorithms (算法). What happens when the very humans who control the platforms find out about such content and are questioned about it? Well, they often just release vague public statements. Most of them fail to 36 the root causes in a meaningful way. As a matter of fact, the advertising dollars that once supported the carefully 37 gardens of traditional media outlets have moved to a world which prefers profits and growth over the public good. To be fair, brands would likely prefer to advertise on the platforms of responsible media actors versus the risky world of social media. But Big Tech, with a larger and younger audience, offers these brands much more effective targeting. To make matters worse, news companies have been far too slow to adapt to the changing technological 38 . They often come with ugly websites and apps and lack the tools necessary for targeting 39 audiences that advertisers want to reach. It’s a disaster that will have great impacts on civilization in the years ahead. News organizations, crucial to a functioning society, are being hollowed out (掏空), if not dying.

The only way to do this is to avoid the task.” You can procrastinate on almost anything, even 42 tasks like planning a holiday. About 20 percent of us are long-term procrastinators. One reason is fear of failures. Kelli Saginak is a health coach who put off looking for a new job for many years. That 43 to take action only made her believe she would never do better. “It is all fear of being judged,” Saginak says. “If I do not take risks, or make decisions, I do not have to be 44 with others’ opinions. Yet it’s simply me judging myself.” Some people do not mind procrastinating, believing they perform better when they are under pressure. But researchers 45 . They did an experiment, putting procrastinators under 46 of time. In fact, the procrastinators did worse than non-procrastinators, but they 47 they did better. Whatever the 48 is (or lack of it), procrastination is usually bad for you. Delaying a diet may increase your risk of heart disease. Just thinking about things you haven’t done may cause 49 . “Procrastinators feel more stressed, both from leaving things to the last minute and from their own 50 and critical feelings about their procrastination,” says Fuschia, a psychology lecturer. For those who need motivation, the best advice may be to 51 . “We used to think behaviors follow our attitude,” Pychyl says. “But if you can make small 52 , even a little, it will push you forward.” Next, try sending yourself signals to action. You can use a timer to make your lights dim (变暗) slowly. This will help you keep a(n) 53 bedtime. Researchers tested this idea and it worked on most of the subjects. “They formed a(n) 54 ,” researchers say. “When the lights start to dim, people know it is time to go to bed.” Finally, 55 yourself for each step you take toward your goal. After you pay the bills, watch your favorite TV show. 41．A．comes down to B．runs out of C．puts up with D．breaks through 42．A．repetitive B．household C．educational D．enjoyable 43．A．opportunity B．inflexibility C．inability D．desire 44．A．concerned B．faced C．satisfied D．impressed 45．A．observe B．disagree C．cooperate D．confirm 46．A．concept B．progression C．restriction D．length 47．A．realized B．doubted C．assumed D．ignored 48．A．consequence B．motivation C．occasion D．origin 49．A．variation B．reaction C．sympathy D．discomfort 50．A．negative B．intense C．emotional D．indescribable 51．A．think small B．break the limits C．aim high D．stay calm 52．A．progress B．changes C．mistakes D．efforts 53．A．relaxing B．consistent C．early D．irregular 54．A．intention B．opinion C．comparison D．identity 55．A．challenge B．prepare C．improve D．reward 【答案】 41．A 42．D 43．C 44．B 45．B 46．C 47．C 48．B 49．D 50．A 51．A 52．A 53．B 54．A 55．D 【导语】文章主要讲述了拖延的原因、影响以及克服拖延的方法。 【详解】41．考查动词短语。句意：我们讨厌做困难的事情，这就是拖延的本质：我们现在想要立刻感觉良好。A. comes down to归结为；B. runs out of用完；C. puts up with忍受；D. breaks through突破。根据上文“We hate doing hard things, and that is what procrastination” 可知，这里是在解释拖延的本质是什么，comes down to“归结为” 符合题意。 42．考查形容词。句意：你几乎可以在任何事情上拖延，甚至是像计划假期这样令人愉快的任务。A. repetitive重复的；B. household家庭的；C. educational教育的；D. enjoyable令人愉快的。根据下文“like planning a holiday” 可知，计划假期通常是一件让人觉得愉快的事情。 43．考查名词。句意：那种无法采取行动的情况只会让她更加坚信自己永远不会做得更好。A. opportunity机会；B. inflexibility不灵活；C. inability无能，无法；D. desire欲望。根据文上文“Kelli Saginak is a health coach who put off looking for a new job for many years.”可知，Kelli Saginak多年来一直拖延找新工作，这体现了她无法采取行动。 44．考查形容词。句意：如果我不冒险、不做决定，我就不必面他人的评判。A. concerned担心的；B. faced面临的；C. satisfied满足的；D. impressed印象深刻的。根据上文“If I do not take risks, or make decisions,”可知，Saginak认为如果自己不做这些，就不用面对评判。 45．考查动词。句意：但研究人员不同意。A. observe观察；B. disagree不同意；C. cooperate合作；D. confirm确认。根据上文“Some people do not mind procrastinating, believing they perform better when they are under pressure.”和表示转折的but可知，研究人员的观点与之不同。 46．考查名词。句意：他们做了一个实验，把拖延者置于时间的限制之下。A. concept概念；B. progression进步；C. restriction限制；D. length长度。根据下文“of time”以及“the procrastinators did worse than non-procrastinators”可知，这里是说将拖延者置于时间的限制中。 47．考查动词。句意：事实上，拖延者的表现不如非拖延者，但他们以为自己做得更好。A. realized意识到；B. doubted怀疑；C. assumed认为，假定；D. ignored忽视。根据上文“The procrastinators did worse than non-procrastinators”和下文“did better.” 可知，这里是说拖延者虽然实际表现更差，但他们自己却认为自己做得更好，。 48．考查名词。句意：无论动机是什么（或者缺乏动机），拖延通常对你都没有好处。A. consequence结果；B. motivation动机；C. occasion场合；D. origin起源。根据上文“If I do not take risks, or make decisions, I do not have to be ____ with other’s opinions.

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 Lindsay Renwick, the mayor of Deniliquin, a country town in New South Wales, misses the constant whir (嗡嗡声) of the rice mill whose giant fans dried the rice. The Deniliquin mill, the largest rice mill in the Southern Hemisphere, once processed enough grain to meet the needs of 20 million people globally. But six years of drought have had a destructive effect, reducing Australia’s rice crop by 98 percent and leading to the mothballing of the mill last December. Drought affects every agriculture industry based in Australia, not just rice — from sheep farming, the country’s other backbone, to the cultivation of grapes for wine, the fastest-growing crop there, with that expansion often coming at the expense of rice. The drought’s effect on rice has produced the greatest impact on the rest of the world so far. It is one factor contributing to skyrocketing prices, and many scientists believe it is among the earliest signs that a warming planet is starting to affect food production. Researchers are looking for solutions to global rice shortages for example, rice that blooms earlier in the day, when it is cooler, to fight against global warming. Rice plants that happen to bloom on hot days are less likely to produce grains of rice, a difficulty that is already starting to emerge in inland areas of China and other Asian countries as temperatures begin to climb. “There will be problems very soon unless we have new varieties of rice in place,” said Reiner Wassmann, climate change director at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI). The recent reports on climate change carried a warning that could make the news even worse: that existing models for the effects of climate change on agriculture did not yet include newer findings that global warming could reduce rainfall and make it more variable. Yet the effects of climate change are not uniformly bad for rice. Rising concentrations (浓度) of carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas, can actually help rice — although the effect reduces or disappears if the plants face unnecessary heat, inadequate water, severe pollution or other stresses. Still, the flexibility of farmers here has persuaded some climate experts that, particularly in developed countries, the effects of climate change may be relieved, if not completely avoided. “I’m not as negative as most people,” said Will Steffen, director of the Fenner School of Environment and Society at Australian National University. “Farmers are learning how to do things differently.” Meanwhile, changes like the use of water to grow wine grapes instead of rice carry their own costs, as the developing world is discovering. “Rice is an essential food,” said Graeme Haley, the general manager of the town of Deniliquin. “Wine is not.” 56．By “the mothballing of the mill” in Paragraph 1, the author most probably means the mill is ________. A．kept unprocessed B．being entirely restored C．left unused D．being pushed round 57．Which of the following can be learned from the passage? A．Rice plants are fond of higher temperature in the process of growing. B．Rice prices are rising steadily owing to the crop failure in Australia. C．Global warming may contribute to more complicated weather conditions. D．Global warming has shown few signs of influence on agriculture. 58．It can be inferred from the passage that ________. A．Australia is the largest rice producing country around the world B．wine grape cultivation has threatened the rice production in Australia C．climate changes have simply brought negative effects to people’s lives D．most people look on the bright side of the flexibility of farmers 59．Which of the following best serves as the title of the passage? A．Rice Shortage and Wine Boom. B．Drought, the Enemy of Rice Production. C．Rice Issue, a Focus of the Public Attention D．Rice Crisis and Its Solution. 【答案】56．C 57．C 58．B 59．D 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了澳大利亚六年严重干旱致水稻减产 98%，南半球最大米厂闲置，推高全球粮价。科学家研发抗高温水稻，改种葡萄也存在隐忧。 56．推理判断题。根据第一段中“But six years of drought have had a destructive effect, reducing Australia’s rice crop by 98 percent and leading to the mothballing of the mill last December.( 但六年的干旱造成了毁灭性的影响，使澳大利亚的稻谷产量减少了 98%，并于去年 12 月导致该碾米厂停产。)”可推知，六年干旱导致澳大利亚水稻减产 98%，稻米加工厂失去了原料来源，由此可知，“关闭工厂”这一表述，作者很可能意在表明工厂处于闲置不用状态。 57．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The recent reports on climate change carried a warning that could make the news even worse: that existing models for the effects of climate change on agriculture did not yet include newer findings that global warming could reduce rainfall and make it more variable.( 最近有关气候变化的报告中包含了一个警告信息，可能会使这一情况变得更糟：现有的气候变化对农业的影响模型尚未纳入全球变暖会减少降雨量并使其更加多变的新发现。)”可知，全球变暖会减少降雨量并使其变得更加不稳定，这意味着天气状况会变得更加复杂多变。 58．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Drought affects every agriculture industry based in Australia, not just rice — from sheep farming, the country’s other backbone, to the cultivation of grapes for wine, the fastest-growing crop there, with that expansion often coming at the expense of rice.( 干旱影响了澳大利亚所有的农业产业，不仅仅是水稻种植业——从该国的另一支柱产业——养羊业，到用于酿酒的葡萄种植业（这是该国增长最快的作物，而这种扩张往往是以牺牲水稻种植为代价的）。)”可知，澳大利亚酿酒葡萄种植的快速扩张是以牺牲水稻种植为代价的，由此可推断葡萄种植已经威胁到了当地的水稻生产。 59．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章前两段阐述了水稻危机：澳大利亚干旱导致水稻大幅减产，引发全球粮价上涨，且这是全球变暖影响粮食生产的早期迹象；第三、四段介绍了解决方案：研究人员培育抗高温水稻品种，农民通过调整种植方式适应气候变化；第五段补充说明了改种经济作物的代价。由此可知，D选项“稻米危机及其解决方案”全面涵盖了文章的核心内容，适合作为文章的标题。 B Getty is a leading global arts organization focused on exhibiting, and understanding the world’s artistic and cultural heritage. Here are some of the exhibitions that will be held in 2024.Paper and Light Artists have for centuries explored the interaction (相互作用) of paper and light, This exhibition of drawings charts some of the creative ways in which the two media were creatively used together. Drawings by more modern artists will show the representation of light.Nineteenth — Century Photography Now The small, sepia-toned (棕褐色调的) images made in the 19th century may appear remote and unconnected to the present. However, many of the traditions established during the early rise of photographic technology are still in use today. This exhibition provides fresh views on Getty’s collection of 19th-century photography through the works of contemporary artists who respond directly to its historical themes.Dutch Depictions of Extreme Weather Featuring drawings and paintings by Hendrick Avercamp and other Dutch artists of the early 1600s, this exhibition focuses on landscapes that highlight extremely cold winters and unusually cool summers. It tells a story of global cooling in the 17th century and shows how artists stressed the uncertainty of life and the necessity for adaptation through their descriptions of ice skating and fishing.Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A．T.) This exhibition tells the story of a mid-20th century cooperation (合作) between artists and engineers to form the group Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A．T.). The group’s pioneering efforts to improve communication and cooperation pushed its programs beyond the art world. 60．What is the feature of the Dutch Depictions of Extreme Weather? A．Interaction of paper and light. B．Small and sepia-toned images. C．Landscapes of cold winters and cool summers. D．Exploration of photographic technology. 61．Which exhibition tells the story of a cooperation between artists and engineers? A．Paper and Light. B．Dutch Depictions of Extreme Weather. C．Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A．T.). D．Nineteenth-Century Photography Now. 62．What is the purpose of the text? A．To comment on Getty. B．To discuss photography. C．To stress artistic cooperation. D．To introduce exhibitions. 【答案】60．C 61．C 62．D 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了将于2024年举行的一些展览。 60．细节理解题。根据Dutch Depictions of Extreme Weather这一部分中“Featuring drawings and paintings by Hendrick Avercamp and other Dutch artists of the early 1600s, this exhibition focuses on landscapes that highlight extremely cold winters and unusually cool summers. (本次展览以Hendrick Avercamp和其他17世纪早期荷兰艺术家的绘画作品为特色，重点展示了极端寒冷的冬季和异常凉爽的夏季的风景)”可知，其主要特征是展示了极端寒冷的冬季和凉爽夏季的风景。故选C。 61．细节理解题。根据文章Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.)这一部分中“This exhibition tells the story of a mid-20th century cooperation (合作) between artists and engineers to form the group Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.).(本次展览讲述了20世纪中期艺术家和工程师组成艺术与技术实验小组(E.A.T.)的合作故事)”可知，Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.)展示了艺术家和工程师之间的合作。故选C。 62．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Here are some of the exhibitions that will be held in 2024.(以下是将于2024年举行的一些展览)”可知，本文的目的是介绍将在2024举行的一些展览。故选D。 C You’ve heard an old Chinese saying before: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. You may even be nodding your head in agreement right now. However, we can have a different understanding about it. When a person is hungry, that’s not the time to fill their head with knowledge but to first give the person a fish — eradicating their hunger — and only then teach them to fish. Far too often, people ignore this common sense first step. They see someone who is struggling, and they rush to offer wisdom. “Let me tell you what I’d do in your position,” a well-meaning individual might offer. But few of us understand the anxiety, confusion and uncertainty that come with overwhelming need. People meeting with personal disasters don’t have the ability to think straight. Their nerves may be shot. Their confidence may be non-existent. Can you imagine what it would be like to be in that person’s situation? Rushing to offer a struggling person long-term advice is a waste of time. Instead, it makes far more sense to help them regain their emotional balance. Once their ears, heart and mind open, you’ll have an opportunity to teach a new skill. But how do we know whether a person needs a fish before a fishing lesson? Two things: One is the ability to pay attention. We need to know whether the other person is open and receptive, or looking at the world through narrowed eyes? You can’t just take their words but have to look at how the person acts and what they don’t say. The other is empathy (共情).The more successful you are, the harder it is to imagine what it must be like to be the opposite. Try to create a safe environment for emotional acceptance before the fishing lesson. 63．What is the function of the first paragraph? A．To bring in a new viewpoint. B．To explain a concept. C．To introduce the background. D．To give an example. 64．What does the underlined word “eradicating” mean in paragraph 2? A．Paying attention to. B．Getting rid of. C．Making up for. D．Putting up with. 65．What should we do first for those in disasters? A．Get them to think straight. B．Satisfy their primary needs. C．Enhance their confidence. D．Teach them a new skill. 66．Which does the author probably agree with according to the last paragraph? A．Live and learn. B．Put yourself in others’ shoes. C．Never teach a fish to swim. D．Don’t teach old dogs new tricks. 【答案】63．A 64．B 65．C 66．B 【导语】本文围绕“授人以鱼不如授人以渔”这句中国古话展开讨论，提出在帮助他人时，应先满足其基本需求，再给予长期建议，强调了共情和关注对方状态的重要性。 【详解】63．细节理解题。根据第一段“You’ve heard an old Chinese saying before: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. You may even be nodding your head in agreement right now. However, we can have a different understanding about it.(你以前听过一句中国古语：授人以鱼，不如授人以渔。你现在甚至可能在点头表示同意。然而，我们可以对它有不同的理解。)”可知，第一段通过引用古语并转折，引出了本文的新观点。 64．词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“When a person is hungry, that’s not the time to fill their head with knowledge but to first give the person a fish-eradicating their hunger-and only then teach them to fish.(当一个人饥饿时，不是用知识填满他们头脑的时候，而是先给他们一条鱼——eradicating他们的饥饿——然后再教他们捕鱼。)”可知，给饥饿的人鱼的目的是消除饥饿，因此“eradicating”的意思是“消除、摆脱”，与“Getting rid of”意思相近。 65．细节理解题。根据三段中“People meeting with personal disasters don’t have the ability to think straight. Their nerves may be shot. Their confidence may be non-existent. Can you imagine what it would be like to be in that person’s situation? (遇到个人灾难的人没有直接思考的能力。他们的神经可能会受到刺激。他们的信心可能根本不存在。你能想象处在那种情况下会是什么样子吗？)”和第四段中“Instead, it makes far more sense to help them regain their emotional balance. Once their ears, heart and mind open, you’ll have an opportunity to teach a new skill. (相反，帮助他们恢复情绪平衡更有意义。一旦他们的耳朵，心灵和头脑打开，你将有机会教一个新的技能。)”可知，那些处在灾难中的人们没有信心，所以为了帮助他们，我们首先要做的是帮助他们恢复情绪，即增强他们的信心。 66．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The other is empathy (共情). The more successful you are, the harder it is to imagine what it must be like to be the opposite. Try to create a safe environment for emotional acceptance before the fishing lesson. (另一个是共情。你越成功，就越难想象成为失败的人是什么样子。试着在授之以渔课之前为情感接受创造一个安全的环境。)”可推知，作者建议我们要产生共情，即要换位思考，站在别人的角度考虑。可知，作者认为帮助他人时需要共情，即站在他人的角度思考，与“Put yourself in others’ shoes.(换位思考)”观点一致。 Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. Fun Facts about Pigeons, the Most Misunderstood of All Creatures Upon seeing a flock of pigeons, many people want nothing more than to run a mile in the other direction. 67 People may be surprised to learn that these creatures have a number of fascinating characteristics that should not be overlooked. First, pigeons are highly skilled navigators (领航员). 68 Because of this ability, humans have used pigeons to their advantage for centuries. Another interesting yet not so admirable quality of pigeons is that they appear to be master procrastinators (拖延大师). Scientific studies have shown that pigeons often delay the completion of a boring or troublesome task when an immediately more convenient alternative is available. 69 Next, we come to the unpleasant topic of pigeon droppings. People in the city are used to seeing streets littered with these droppings. Although pigeon poo is seen as a problem in modern times, several centuries ago, it was actually considered a valuable resource because it helped crops grow. 70 . In addition to their navigation skills and excellent sense of hearing, they can distinguish between the letters of the Roman alphabet and tell apart human faces in photographs. So, the next time you feel disgusted upon encountering a pigeon, remember that besides carrying little disease risk, these birds are smart creatures with many wonderful abilities. A．A pigeon can find its way back to its nest after being transported more than a thousand miles away from it! B．With exceptional eyesight, pigeons can distinguish between different paintings by artists like Monet and Picasso. C．Finally, it cannot be denied that pigeons are highly intelligent creatures. D．When it comes to putting off work, maybe pigeons are just as good as humans. E．Pigeons are commonly viewed as carriers and spreaders of disease, but that’s actually not true. F．They have impressive long-term memory, able to remember complex visual patterns for years. 【答案】67．E 68．A 69．D 70．C 【导语】文章主要介绍鸽子被大众误解，列举其多种独特本领与有趣特点，纠正人们的偏见。 67．上文“Upon seeing a flock of pigeons, many people want nothing more than to run a mile in the other direction.(看到一群鸽子时，很多人只想立刻转身跑开)”说明人们对鸽子的反感态度。空后“People may be surprised to learn that these creatures have a number of fascinating characteristics that should not be overlooked.(人们可能会惊讶地发现，这些生物有许多迷人的特质不应被忽视)”说明鸽子有未被发现的优点，与前文形成转折。空处需承接大众对鸽子的负面印象，引出下文转折。选项E“Pigeons are commonly viewed as carriers and spreaders of disease, but that’s actually not true.(鸽子常被视作疾病传播者，但事实并非如此)”既呼应了前文人们对鸽子的反感，又用转折引出鸽子的真实情况，符合语境。 68．上文“First, pigeons are highly skilled navigators (领航员).(首先，鸽子是技艺高超的领航员)”点明本段核心是介绍鸽子的导航能力。空后“Because of this ability, humans have used pigeons to their advantage for centuries.(正因为这种能力，人类几个世纪以来都在利用鸽子为自己服务)”说明鸽子的导航能力对人类有用，进一步强调其导航能力出色。空处需具体举例体现鸽子的导航能力，选项A“A pigeon can find its way back to its nest after being transported more than a thousand miles away from it!(鸽子被带到千里之外也能找回巢穴)”用具体事例展现鸽子的导航本领，承接前文主旨，符合语境。 69．上文“Scientific studies have shown that pigeons often delay the completion of a boring or troublesome task when an immediately more convenient alternative is available.(科学研究表明，当有更便捷的即时选择时，鸽子通常会拖延完成枯燥或麻烦的任务)”说明鸽子有拖延的特点。空处需承接前文，进一步体现鸽子的拖延特质，与本段“鸽子是拖延大师”的核心一致。选项D“When it comes to putting off work, maybe pigeons are just as good as humans.(在拖延这件事上，鸽子或许和人类一样擅长)”直接呼应前文的拖延内容，总结鸽子的拖延特点，与前文逻辑连贯，符合语境。 70．上文介绍了鸽子的导航能力、拖延特质和粪便的历史价值，此处需开启新的段落核心。空后“In addition to their navigation skills and excellent sense of hearing, they can distinguish between the letters of the Roman alphabet and tell apart human faces in photographs.(除了导航能力和敏锐的听觉外，它们还能区分罗马字母，辨别照片中的人脸)”集中介绍鸽子的聪明才智。空处需作为本段总起句，引出鸽子高智商的特点。选项C“Finally, it cannot be denied that pigeons are highly intelligent creatures.(最后，不可否认鸽子是高智商生物)”点明本段核心是鸽子的高智商，引出下文具体能力介绍，符合语境。 IV.Summary Writing (共10分） 71．Summary Writing When you hear the final whistle One of the hardest things for any sportsperson to do is to know when to retire. But even harder is finding the answer to the question “What am I going to do with the rest of my life?” Some sportspeople go on playing too long. Perhaps they just can’t stand life without the “high” of playing professional sport. Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball player of all time retired three times. He retired once from the Chicago Bulls, made a successful comeback with the Bulls, then retired again. His second comeback with an inferior team ended in failure and he retired forever at the age of 38. Jordan said, “There will never be anything I do that will fulfill me as much as competing did.” Others can’t resist the chance of one last “pay day”. Muhammad Ali needed the money, but his comeback fight, at the age of 39, against Trevor Berbick, was one of the saddest spectacles in modern sport. After losing to Berbick, Ali retired permanently. Three years later he developed Parkinson’s disease. For some people, the pain of retirement never leaves them. As Jimmy Greaves, an ex-England international footballer said, “I think that a lot of players would prefer to be shot once their career is over.” Many of them spend their retirement in a continual battle against depression, alcohol, or drugs. But for the lucky few, retirement can mean a successful new career. Franz Beckenbauer is a classical example of a footballer who won everything with his club, Bayern Muaich. After retiring he became a successful coach with Bayern and finally president of the club. John McEnroe, the infamous “bad boy” of tennis, is now a highly respected and highly paid TV commentator. But sadly, for most sportspeople these cases are the exceptions. 【答案】For sportsmen, knowing what to do after retirement is harder than deciding when to retire. Some play so long that they have trouble adjusting to life after retirement, while the need for money keeps others stay. For some, the pain of retirement is with them for the rest of life, while for others, retirement means a successful new career. 【分析】本篇书面表达是概要写作，要求概括对运动员来说知道退役后做什么比决定何时退役更难，一些人难退役是因为他们难以适应退役后的生活，另一些则是需要钱；对一些人来说，退役的痛苦伴随整个余生，而对另一些人来说则意味着一个新的成功的生涯，注意词数要求和使用自己的语言。 【详解】1、写之前，需要认真仔细地读几遍原文材料，让理解更深刻。 2、遵循原文的逻辑顺序，对重要部分的主题、标题、细节进行概括，全面清晰地表明原文信息。 3、给摘要起一个好标题，比如：可以采用文中的主题句。 4、尽量使用自己的话完成，不要引用原文的句子，篇幅控制在原文的三分之一或四分之一长。 V.Translation (共15分。第1小题和第2小题,每题3分;第3题4分;第4题5分。) 72．我们不禁好奇，此次培训面向的对象是谁。(target v.)

After graduating from college, Jing Ran, a young entrepreneur, was determined to devote his life to solving a pressing social challenge rather than pursue a 21 (convention) career. He 22 (spend) months traveling across the country, observing life in cities, towns and rural communities. 23 struck him was how much aging had become a part of Chinese society. “The streets were filled with elderly residents actively involved in leisure activities,” Jing recalled. The journey eventually led him 24 a clear goal: transforming aging from a period of limitation into one of dignity and joy. Today, Jing is the founder of Time Light Care Group, a company focusing on innovative solutions 25 (improve) elderly care. Among its innovations is a hospital shuttle (接驳车) 26 (equip) with a smart seat. With the press of a button, 27 seat slides out of the vehicle and turns into an electric wheelchair, allowing the elderly to enter the hospital independently without the unpleasant experience of 28 (lift) from one vehicle to another. Besides, most facilities are located within urban neighborhoods rather than in remote areas, making it easier for families to visit regularly and for everyday social 29 (tie) to endure.

This trend has been a hard 31 to news organizations. Just two months into 2024, several news organizations are already falling apart. The Messenger shut down in January. Buzz Feed announced it would cut 16% of its 32 staff. Hundreds of local outlets have not been so lucky, closing their doors as advertising dollars disappear. These news organizations are crucial to the communities—both local and national—that they serve. They work hard to ensure that their platforms are 33 in facts and free of abuse. You’re not going to find articles promoting body dysmorphia (身体畸形恐惧症) in the pages of The New York Times. The Wall Street Journal is not going to casually provide carelessly risky investment advice. CNN will not enrich itself through indecent photographs of minors. If any of these companies got involved in such behavior, it would be a major scandal. That would not only leave their reputations scarred but also chase away advertisers. As a result, these organizations 34 heavily in content review. But the technology platforms, for some reason, are judged by different rules. It’s not fair to say the road is 35 with examples pointing to bad behavior. It’s buried in them. Time and time again, companies like Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and others have been caught allowing harmful content to exist on their platforms. In many cases, such content has not only been permitted to exist, but encouraged by powerful algorithms (算法). What happens when the very humans who control the platforms find out about such content and are questioned about it? Well, they often just release vague public statements. Most of them fail to 36 the root causes in a meaningful way. As a matter of fact, the advertising dollars that once supported the carefully 37 gardens of traditional media outlets have moved to a world which prefers profits and growth over the public good. To be fair, brands would likely prefer to advertise on the platforms of responsible media actors versus the risky world of social media. But Big Tech, with a larger and younger audience, offers these brands much more effective targeting. To make matters worse, news companies have been far too slow to adapt to the changing technological 38 . They often come with ugly websites and apps and lack the tools necessary for targeting 39 audiences that advertisers want to reach. It’s a disaster that will have great impacts on civilization in the years ahead. News organizations, crucial to a functioning society, are being hollowed out (掏空), if not dying. Meanwhile, technology giants, which have allowed for harmful content to gain a foothold in the digital public square, are 40 . III.Reading Comprehension (共45分。 41-45每题1分；56-70每题2分) Section A Everyone procrastinates (拖延). “It is part of being human,” says a researcher who studies procrastination. “We hate doing hard things, and that is what procrastination 41 : We want to feel good right now. The only way to do this is to avoid the task.” You can procrastinate on almost anything, even 42 tasks like planning a holiday. About 20 percent of us are long-term procrastinators. One reason is fear of failures. Kelli Saginak is a health coach who put off looking for a new job for many years. That 43 to take action only made her believe she would never do better. “It is all fear of being judged,” Saginak says. “If I do not take risks, or make decisions, I do not have to be 44 with others’ opinions. Yet it’s simply me judging myself.” Some people do not mind procrastinating, believing they perform better when they are under pressure. But researchers 45 . They did an experiment, putting procrastinators under 46 of time. In fact, the procrastinators did worse than non-procrastinators, but they 47 they did better. Whatever the 48 is (or lack of it), procrastination is usually bad for you. Delaying a diet may increase your risk of heart disease. Just thinking about things you haven’t done may cause 49 . “Procrastinators feel more stressed, both from leaving things to the last minute and from their own 50 and critical feelings about their procrastination,” says Fuschia, a psychology lecturer. For those who need motivation, the best advice may be to 51 . “We used to think behaviors follow our attitude,” Pychyl says. “But if you can make small 52 , even a little, it will push you forward.” Next, try sending yourself signals to action. You can use a timer to make your lights dim (变暗) slowly. This will help you keep a(n) 53 bedtime. Researchers tested this idea and it worked on most of the subjects. “They formed a(n) 54 ,” researchers say. “When the lights start to dim, people know it is time to go to bed.” Finally, 55 yourself for each step you take toward your goal. After you pay the bills, watch your favorite TV show. 41．A．comes down to B．runs out of C．puts up with D．breaks through 42．A．repetitive B．household C．educational D．enjoyable 43．A．opportunity B．inflexibility C．inability D．desire 44．A．concerned B．faced C．satisfied D．impressed 45．A．observe B．disagree C．cooperate D．confirm 46．A．concept B．progression C．restriction D．length 47．A．realized B．doubted C．assumed D．ignored 48．A．consequence B．motivation C．occasion D．origin 49．A．variation B．reaction C．sympathy D．discomfort 50．A．negative B．intense C．emotional D．indescribable 51．A．think small B．break the limits C．aim high D．stay calm 52．A．progress B．changes C．mistakes D．efforts 53．A．relaxing B．consistent C．early D．irregular 54．A．intention B．opinion C．comparison D．identity 55．A．challenge B．prepare C．improve D．reward 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 Lindsay Renwick, the mayor of Deniliquin, a country town in New South Wales, misses the constant whir (嗡嗡声) of the rice mill whose giant fans dried the rice. The Deniliquin mill, the largest rice mill in the Southern Hemisphere, once processed enough grain to meet the needs of 20 million people globally. But six years of drought have had a destructive effect, reducing Australia’s rice crop by 98 percent and leading to the mothballing of the mill last December. Drought affects every agriculture industry based in Australia, not just rice — from sheep farming, the country’s other backbone, to the cultivation of grapes for wine, the fastest-growing crop there, with that expansion often coming at the expense of rice. The drought’s effect on rice has produced the greatest impact on the rest of the world so far. It is one factor contributing to skyrocketing prices, and many scientists believe it is among the earliest signs that a warming planet is starting to affect food production. Researchers are looking for solutions to global rice shortages for example, rice that blooms earlier in the day, when it is cooler, to fight against global warming. Rice plants that happen to bloom on hot days are less likely to produce grains of rice, a difficulty that is already starting to emerge in inland areas of China and other Asian countries as temperatures begin to climb. “There will be problems very soon unless we have new varieties of rice in place,” said Reiner Wassmann, climate change director at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI). The recent reports on climate change carried a warning that could make the news even worse: that existing models for the effects of climate change on agriculture did not yet include newer findings that global warming could reduce rainfall and make it more variable. Yet the effects of climate change are not uniformly bad for rice. Rising concentrations (浓度) of carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas, can actually help rice — although the effect reduces or disappears if the plants face unnecessary heat, inadequate water, severe pollution or other stresses. Still, the flexibility of farmers here has persuaded some climate experts that, particularly in developed countries, the effects of climate change may be relieved, if not completely avoided. “I’m not as negative as most people,” said Will Steffen, director of the Fenner School of Environment and Society at Australian National University. “Farmers are learning how to do things differently.” Meanwhile, changes like the use of water to grow wine grapes instead of rice carry their own costs, as the developing world is discovering. “Rice is an essential food,” said Graeme Haley, the general manager of the town of Deniliquin. “Wine is not.” 56．By “the mothballing of the mill” in Paragraph 1, the author most probably means the mill is ________. A．kept unprocessed B．being entirely restored C．left unused D．being pushed round 57．Which of the following can be learned from the passage? A．Rice plants are fond of higher temperature in the process of growing. B．Rice prices are rising steadily owing to the crop failure in Australia. C．Global warming may contribute to more complicated weather conditions. D．Global warming has shown few signs of influence on agriculture. 58．It can be inferred from the passage that ________. A．Australia is the largest rice producing country around the world B．wine grape cultivation has threatened the rice production in Australia C．climate changes have simply brought negative effects to people’s lives D．most people look on the bright side of the flexibility of farmers 59．Which of the following best serves as the title of the passage? A．Rice Shortage and Wine Boom. B．Drought, the Enemy of Rice Production. C．Rice Issue, a Focus of the Public Attention D．Rice Crisis and Its Solution. B Getty is a leading global arts organization focused on exhibiting, and understanding the world’s artistic and cultural heritage. Here are some of the exhibitions that will be held in 2024.Paper and Light Artists have for centuries explored the interaction (相互作用) of paper and light, This exhibition of drawings charts some of the creative ways in which the two media were creatively used together. Drawings by more modern artists will show the representation of light.Nineteenth — Century Photography Now The small, sepia-toned (棕褐色调的) images made in the 19th century may appear remote and unconnected to the present. However, many of the traditions established during the early rise of photographic technology are still in use today. This exhibition provides fresh views on Getty’s collection of 19th-century photography through the works of contemporary artists who respond directly to its historical themes.Dutch Depictions of Extreme Weather Featuring drawings and paintings by Hendrick Avercamp and other Dutch artists of the early 1600s, this exhibition focuses on landscapes that highlight extremely cold winters and unusually cool summers. It tells a story of global cooling in the 17th century and shows how artists stressed the uncertainty of life and the necessity for adaptation through their descriptions of ice skating and fishing.Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A．T.) This exhibition tells the story of a mid-20th century cooperation (合作) between artists and engineers to form the group Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A．T.). The group’s pioneering efforts to improve communication and cooperation pushed its programs beyond the art world. 60．What is the feature of the Dutch Depictions of Extreme Weather? A．Interaction of paper and light. B．Small and sepia-toned images. C．Landscapes of cold winters and cool summers. D．Exploration of photographic technology. 61．Which exhibition tells the story of a cooperation between artists and engineers? A．Paper and Light. B．Dutch Depictions of Extreme Weather. C．Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A．T.). D．Nineteenth-Century Photography Now. 62．What is the purpose of the text? A．To comment on Getty. B．To discuss photography. C．To stress artistic cooperation. D．To introduce exhibitions. C You’ve heard an old Chinese saying before: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. You may even be nodding your head in agreement right now. However, we can have a different understanding about it. When a person is hungry, that’s not the time to fill their head with knowledge but to first give the person a fish — eradicating their hunger — and only then teach them to fish. Far too often, people ignore this common sense first step. They see someone who is struggling, and they rush to offer wisdom. “Let me tell you what I’d do in your position,” a well-meaning individual might offer. But few of us understand the anxiety, confusion and uncertainty that come with overwhelming need. People meeting with personal disasters don’t have the ability to think straight. Their nerves may be shot. Their confidence may be non-existent. Can you imagine what it would be like to be in that person’s situation? Rushing to offer a struggling person long-term advice is a waste of time. Instead, it makes far more sense to help them regain their emotional balance. Once their ears, heart and mind open, you’ll have an opportunity to teach a new skill. But how do we know whether a person needs a fish before a fishing lesson? Two things: One is the ability to pay attention. We need to know whether the other person is open and receptive, or looking at the world through narrowed eyes? You can’t just take their words but have to look at how the person acts and what they don’t say. The other is empathy (共情).The more successful you are, the harder it is to imagine what it must be like to be the opposite. Try to create a safe environment for emotional acceptance before the fishing lesson. 63．What is the function of the first paragraph? A．To bring in a new viewpoint. B．To explain a concept. C．To introduce the background. D．To give an example. 64．What does the underlined word “eradicating” mean in paragraph 2? A．Paying attention to. B．Getting rid of. C．Making up for. D．Putting up with. 65．What should we do first for those in disasters? A．Get them to think straight. B．Satisfy their primary needs. C．Enhance their confidence. D．Teach them a new skill. 66．Which does the author probably agree with according to the last paragraph? A．Live and learn. B．Put yourself in others’ shoes. C．Never teach a fish to swim. D．Don’t teach old dogs new tricks. Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. Fun Facts about Pigeons, the Most Misunderstood of All Creatures Upon seeing a flock of pigeons, many people want nothing more than to run a mile in the other direction. 67 People may be surprised to learn that these creatures have a number of fascinating characteristics that should not be overlooked. First, pigeons are highly skilled navigators (领航员). 68 Because of this ability, humans have used pigeons to their advantage for centuries. Another interesting yet not so admirable quality of pigeons is that they appear to be master procrastinators (拖延大师). Scientific studies have shown that pigeons often delay the completion of a boring or troublesome task when an immediately more convenient alternative is available. 69 Next, we come to the unpleasant topic of pigeon droppings.
