句意:只需将你的体重、身高和年龄输入应用程序,它就会为你提供如何变得更健康的建议。
句子是祈使句,祈使句中动词用原形,put是动词原形。putting是动名词或现在分词;puts是动词第三人称单数;to put是动词不定式。

空后时间状语over these years表示“这些年来”,是现在完成时的标志词,强调从过去持续到现在的变化,应用has changed。
【7题详解】

此处用with引导伴随状语,表示“带有、附有”,用来描述道路两旁的景象。from、of、at均不符合语境。

The natural world is full of wonders, but is there anything more amazing than swimming at night in a bioluminescent (生物发光的) sea? Here are our favorite places to go for the glow (光亮).
Place
Introduction
Post-glow activities
San Juan Island, Washington, USA
The still waters of Garrison and Westcott Bays, just off San Juan Island, are the setting for a spectacular light show in Washington State.
Have a drink at San Juan Brewing Company. The next day, watch the wildlife and the lighthouse in nearby Lime Kiln Point State Park.
Koh Rong, Cambodia
Near Sihanoukville is Koh Rong, an island where you can swim in bioluminescent waters. Book a boat tour that will take you out on the water, and be sure to move your hand through the water to see the plankton (浮游生物) at their brightest.
Mountain bike through the forest or view marine wildlife.
Manialtepec Lagoon in Mexico
It is known for its bioluminescent light show. While you can stay in the boat, jumping in is encouraged. In ancient times, the locals believed in the youthful magic of bathing in the phosphorescent lagoon.
Bird-watching is a must in Manialtepec Lagoon. Parrots, pelicans, kingfishers and hawks call the area home.
Hachijō-jima, Japan
Glowing animals aren’t the only ones to shine—the bioluminescent mushrooms on Japan’s island Hachijō-jima make you feel like you are Alice in Wonderland. During the rainy season, over seven different species light up the island’s forest floor.
The top-notch Urami-ga-taki Onsen (温泉) is a place to enjoy a waterfall for free.
21. What can travelers do after visiting the still waters of Garrison and Westcott Bays?
A. Go swimming at night. B. Watch the wildlife and the lighthouse.
C. Bird-watch in the lagoon. D. Enjoy a waterfall for free at an Onsen.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文,主要介绍了四个适合夜间体验生物发光海域的旅行目的地,包括每个地点的特色和推荐的活动安排。
【21题详解】
根据表格中“San Juan Island, Washington, USA”一栏的“Post-glow activities”部分,明确写道:“The next day, watch the wildlife and the lighthouse in nearby Lime Kiln Point State Park。”因此,旅行者在游览Garrison和Westcott海湾的静水之后,可以观看野生动物和灯塔。
【22题详解】
根据表格中“Koh Rong, Cambodia”一栏的“Introduction”部分,明确写道:“be sure to move your hand through the water to see the plankton at their brightest。”因此,游客通过用手划水可以看到最亮的浮游生物。
【23题详解】
全文围绕多个地点的生物发光海域介绍以及旅行后的推荐活动,内容属于旅游景点推荐,因此最适合放在校报的“Travel Guide”(旅行指南)栏目中。
B
Do you spend too many nights trying to fall asleep? You are not alone. Nearly one-third of American adults say they do not get the suggested seven to nine hours of sleep a night. Some of the major causes are stress, anxiety, and a culture that experts (专家) say is about productivity, not rest. Sleep experts say that you should avoid unproven methods to fall asleep and stay asleep. Instead, they suggest several simple ideas:
First, try creating a “buffer zone”—a time of separation—between the end of your work day and your bedtime. Experts suggest leaving your work and daily responsibilities alone about an hour before bed.
While in this “buffer zone”, you should not check email, pay bills, do housework, or look on social media. Instead, try to relax with a book, enjoy a fun activity or spend time with loved ones.
Also remember eating a large meal right before bedtime can also hurt your sleep. So, try to eat in the early evening hours.
But do not go to bed very hungry, either. Try small amounts of food with protein or healthy fats, like cheese, almonds or peanut butter on whole grain bread.
Besides, having an alcoholic drink or strong coffee after dinner could lead to a long night.
While alcohol (酒) can help you fall asleep at first, it can also hurt your sleep cycle. As a result, the quality of sleep declines. The chances that you will wake up more often in the middle of the night increase.
Caffeine blocks (阻止) adenosine, a chemical that helps make you feel sleepy. And it can take your body up to 10 hours to clear caffeine.
What’s more, if you are still having a hard time getting a good night’s sleep after more than one month of trying, experts say it is time to go to a doctor. This is true if your sleepless nights are hurting your work performance or your mood.
24. How many methods of falling asleep does the writer mention?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
25. What should Tim do if he wants to have a good night’s sleep?
A. Sleep with an empty stomach. B. Do something that is enjoyable.
C. Go to bed as soon as his work is done. D. Have a cup of strong coffee after dinner.
26. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Seeing a doctor if you don’t sleep well.
B. Watching what you eat before sleeping.
C. Having a good night’s sleep in a scientific way.
D. Trying creating a time of separation for your sleep.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了改善睡眠质量的几种科学方法,包括创造“缓冲地带”、注意睡前饮食、避免酒精和咖啡因,以及必要时就医。
【24题详解】
文章介绍了四种帮助入睡的方法:第一,创造“缓冲地带”(create a “buffer zone”);第二,注意睡前饮食(避免大餐、避免饥饿、吃少量蛋白质或健康脂肪);第三,避免酒精和咖啡因(avoid alcoholic drinks and strong coffee);第四,如果一个月后仍睡不着,应去看医生(go to a doctor)。因此共四种方法。
【25题详解】
根据文章第三段:“try to relax with a book, enjoy a fun activity or spend time with loved ones”可知,如果想睡得好,应该做一些令人愉快的事情(do something that is enjoyable)。A项空着肚子睡觉与“do not go to bed very hungry”矛盾;C项工作结束后立刻睡觉与“create a buffer zone”矛盾;D项晚餐后喝浓咖啡与“having an alcoholic drink or strong coffee after dinner could lead to a long night”矛盾。
【26题详解】
文章整体围绕如何用科学的方法获得良好睡眠展开,介绍了多种实用建议,因此主旨是“以科学的方式获得良好睡眠”(Having a good night’s sleep in a scientific way)。
C
Experts say that, among young Internet users, it’s not the boys who create most web content. The pioneers of the Internet at the moment are the girls.
According to Jenny Baker, whose hobbies are designing icons, layouts and “glitters”, most boys just aren’t patient enough for blogging, uploading photographs, and creating their own websites. Jenny posts her designs or pictures on her own website, and believes that most boys don’t often have their own sites. She thinks it’s mainly girls.
And Jenny is right. A study shows that, among Internet users aged 12 to 17, a lot more girls blog than boys (35 percent of girls compared with 20 percent of boys). A lot more girls also work on their own web pages (32 percent of girls compared with 22 percent of boys). Girls are also ahead of boys in working on websites for other people.
Girls also seem to be more active in creating their own web business. Some of them have their own teenage podcasts (播客) which have become very successful and sometimes the creators have their own TV shows too. When asked what they think about the study that shows girls are more active on the web, they say that they’re not surprised because girls are very creative, and sometimes more creative than boys.
Other girls have started interactive e-zines (electronic magazines) with articles written for girls by girls. “Girls from everywhere read our articles, and they ask lots of questions,” they say. “I think girls like to help other people more.” One expert said: “If boys were more interested in helping other people, the numbers would be different.”
But if girls are more enthusiastic about computers, why do women only have 27 percent of computer-related jobs? Maybe this will change in the future—after all, girls like these will be in the job market before too long.
27. What type of writing is this passage?
A. A story. B. A report. C. A notice. D. A survey.
28. Why do experts say girls are the pioneers of the Internet?
A. Fewer boys are going to do computer-related jobs.
B. Girls seem to be more patient and active on the web.
C. Girls are always more creative than boys on the web.
D. More boys blog and work on their own web pages than girls.
29. Which of the following is the writer’s opinion?
A. Boys are more interested in helping other people.
B. 22 percent of boys work on their own web pages.
C. Some of the girls have their own teenage podcasts.
D. More girls will do computer-related jobs in the future.
30. What might be the best title for this passage?
A. The Age of Girls on the Internet B. Some creations of web content
C. Changes in girls’ future jobs D. Differences between boys and girls
【答案】27. B 28. B 29. D 30. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇报告,主要介绍了在年轻互联网用户中,女孩比男孩更积极地创作网络内容、经营博客、网页甚至网络生意,并探讨了这种现象及其未来可能带来的职业市场变化。
【27题详解】

【28题详解】
第一段指出女孩是互联网的先锋;第二段Jenny Baker认为男孩不够耐心;第三段研究数据显示女孩在博客和网页制作上比例更高;第四段提到女孩更活跃、更有创造力。综合判断,专家认为女孩更耐心、更活跃。
【29题详解】
第六段最后一句“Maybe this will change in the future—after all, girls like these will be in the job market before too long.”是作者对未来趋势的推测和看法,属于主观观点。
【30题详解】
全文围绕女孩在互联网内容创作中的主导地位展开,强调“女孩的互联网时代”。
D
Alexsandra is a fashion model in London. She has a twin. But her twin is not her sister. The twin is a product of Artificial Intelligence, or AI. Whenever she has no time to work with a photographer, the virtual (虚拟的) twin takes her place. When a company chooses to use the AI Alexsandra, the real-life version gets paid. Alexsandra said her AI twin is exactly like her.
Alexsandra’s twin is an example of how computer images (电脑图像) are influencing creative industries.
Those in favor of AI in fashion say the virtual models allow companies to show possible buyers how their clothing looks on people of all shapes and sizes. In the real world, it would be difficult and costly to find a model for every skin color and body shape.
The companies that make clothing say using AI keeps people from buying their products, trying them on at home, and then sending them back if they dislike them. The problem is that AI models can take work away from human models, makeup artists and photographers.
The fashion industry has often been criticized (批评) for using models who are only white or tall or who fit one idea of beauty. Activists for including many groups in fashion say some companies could seem like they are paying a small group of people to work when they are just using AI models.
The Associated Press (美联社) recently asked some clothing businesses to state their position on the use of AI models. AP asked Target, Kohls, Nieman Marcus, Walmart and Macys. It also asked international companies Temu, Shein and H&M. Some chose not to answer. Others said they do not use AI models. Walmart said it does not use AI models but “suppliers (供应商) may have a different way to photography.”
Others in the fashion industry are fully using AI. Cameron Wilson is a former fashion photographer who started a company in Britain called The Digitals. Wilson, who is white, designed a Black, female model named Shudu in 2017. Wilson was criticized for creating a Black model. But Shudu was used in jobs for companies like Louis Vuitton and BMW. It also helped the human model Alexsandra. She has worked in fashion shows as a real-life version of the AI model.
Alexsandra said she is proud of her work that has come from The Digitals. “The future generations can look back at and be like, ‘These are the pioneers,’” she said.
31. How does the writer start the topic of computer images?
A. By telling a story of the AI Alexsandra.
B. By introducing Alexsandra’s twin sister.
C. By giving an example of the AI Alexsandra.
D. By comparing a real person with an AI model.
32. What does the underlined phrase “in favor of”in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Refusing. B. Supporting. C. Disagreeing. D. Confirming.
33. What are the advantages of using AI models?
① It is possible to know how the clothing looks on people of all shapes and sizes.
② It is easy and cheap to find a model for every skin color and body shape.
③ It can keep buyers from sending the products back if they dislike them.
④ It will take work away from human models and makeup artists.
A. ①②③ B. ②④ C. ②③④ D. ①②
34. What can we learn from Paragraph 8?
A. All clothing businesses like to use AI models.
B. AI models are the pioneers of the fashion industry.
C. Shudu designed by Wilson is a popular Black AI model.
D. Alexsandra is satisfied with the work from The Digitals.
35. What is the main purpose of writing the passage?
A. To explain how to use AI models.
B. To introduce a great model in real life.
C. To show different opinions on AI models.
D. To recommend companies to use AI models.
【答案】31. C 32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了时尚行业中AI模特的应用,以Alexsandra的AI虚拟双胞胎为例,展示了人们对AI模特的不同看法及各公司的态度。
【31题详解】
第二段指出:“Alexsandra’s twin is an example of how computer images are influencing creative industries.”说明作者是通过给出Alexsandra的AI双胞胎这个例子来引入计算机图像这一话题的。
【32题详解】
第二段指出:“Those in favor of AI in fashion say the virtual models allow companies to show possible buyers how their clothing looks on people of all shapes and sizes.”这是在陈述支持AI的人的观点,因此“in favor of”意为“支持”,与Supporting意思相同。
【33题详解】
第三段指出AI模特的优点:“allow companies to show possible buyers how their clothing looks on people of all shapes and sizes”对应①;“In the real world, it would be difficult and costly to find a model for every skin color and body shape.”说明用AI模特比找真人模特更容易、更便宜,对应②。第四段指出:“using AI keeps people from buying their products, trying them on at home, and then sending them back if they dislike them.”对应③。④是缺点而非优点,不应选。
【34题详解】
第六段指出:“Alexsandra said she is proud of her work that has come from The Digitals.”说明Alexsandra对The Digitals的工作感到满意和自豪。
【35题详解】
通读全文可知,文章既介绍了支持AI模特的观点(第三、四段),也介绍了反对AI模特的观点(第五段),还提到了不同公司的态度(第六段),因此文章的主要目的是展示人们对AI模特的不同看法。

39. elegant
40. aware
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述汉服的定义、种类、制作材料、特点以及越来越多人意识到传统文化重要性的趋势。
【36题详解】
句意:汉服是汉族的一种传统服饰,在中国年轻人中仍然很受欢迎。be popular with是固定搭配,意为“受……的欢迎”,其中popular为形容词,意为“受欢迎的”,位于is之后,作表语。
【37题详解】
句意:汉服由丝绸、亚麻和棉布制成。silk“丝绸”,名词,此处指一种材料,属于不可数名词。
【38题详解】
句意:它不仅漂亮,而且舒适。comfortable“舒适的”,形容词,位于is之后,作表语,和形容词“beautiful”并列。
【39题详解】
句意:许多人喜欢穿汉服,因为它让他们看起来很优雅。elegant“优雅的”,形容词,位于系动词“look”之后,作表语。
【40题详解】

B) 请根据句子意思,用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空,并将答案填写在答题卡标号为41—45的横线上。
41. The little girl is too young to look after ________ (she).
【答案】herself
【解析】
【详解】句意:这个小女孩太小了,还不能照顾自己。根据句意“照顾自己”可知,此处应用反身代词。主语“The little girl”为第三人称单数,故反身代词应用herself。look after oneself为固定搭配,意为“照顾自己”。故填herself。
42. We are trying our best to make our city ________ (beauty) than before.
【答案】more beautiful
【解析】
【详解】句意:我们正在尽最大努力让我们的城市比以前更美丽。beauty“美丽”,名词,根据“make sth.+adj.”和“than”,可知空处需使用其形容词的比较级形式more beautiful。
43. It’s ________ (polite) to speak loudly in public.
【答案】impolite
【解析】
【详解】句意:在公共场所大声说话是不礼貌的。根据“It’s”可知,应该填形容词作表语,由后面的“ to speak loudly in the public”可知,应该是在公共场所大声说话是不礼貌的,形容词polite的反义词impolite,意为“不礼貌的”,故填impolite。
44. My father usually ________ (relax) by listening to music after work.
【答案】relaxes
【解析】
【详解】句意:我父亲通常下班后通过听音乐来放松。relax“放松”,动词,根据“usually”,使用一般现在时,主语“My father”为第三人称单数,所以使用单数relaxes。
45. Many people lost their ________ (life) in the big earthquake.
【答案】lives
【解析】

The natural world is full of wonders, but is there anything more amazing than swimming at night in a bioluminescent (生物发光的) sea? Here are our favorite places to go for the glow (光亮).
Place
Introduction
Post-glow activities
San Juan Island, Washington, USA
The still waters of Garrison and Westcott Bays, just off San Juan Island, are the setting for a spectacular light show in Washington State.
Have a drink at San Juan Brewing Company. The next day, watch the wildlife and the lighthouse in nearby Lime Kiln Point State Park.
Koh Rong, Cambodia
Near Sihanoukville is Koh Rong, an island where you can swim in bioluminescent waters. Book a boat tour that will take you out on the water, and be sure to move your hand through the water to see the plankton (浮游生物) at their brightest.
Mountain bike through the forest or view marine wildlife.
Manialtepec Lagoon in Mexico
It is known for its bioluminescent light show. While you can stay in the boat, jumping in is encouraged. In ancient times, the locals believed in the youthful magic of bathing in the phosphorescent lagoon.
Bird-watching is a must in Manialtepec Lagoon. Parrots, pelicans, kingfishers and hawks call the area home.
Hachijō-jima, Japan
Glowing animals aren’t the only ones to shine—the bioluminescent mushrooms on Japan’s island Hachijō-jima make you feel like you are Alice in Wonderland. During the rainy season, over seven different species light up the island’s forest floor.
The top-notch Urami-ga-taki Onsen (温泉) is a place to enjoy a waterfall for free.
21. What can travelers do after visiting the still waters of Garrison and Westcott Bays?

Do you spend too many nights trying to fall asleep? You are not alone. Nearly one-third of American adults say they do not get the suggested seven to nine hours of sleep a night. Some of the major causes are stress, anxiety, and a culture that experts (专家) say is about productivity, not rest. Sleep experts say that you should avoid unproven methods to fall asleep and stay asleep. Instead, they suggest several simple ideas:
First, try creating a “buffer zone”—a time of separation—between the end of your work day and your bedtime. Experts suggest leaving your work and daily responsibilities alone about an hour before bed.
While in this “buffer zone”, you should not check email, pay bills, do housework, or look on social media. Instead, try to relax with a book, enjoy a fun activity or spend time with loved ones.
Also remember eating a large meal right before bedtime can also hurt your sleep. So, try to eat in the early evening hours.
But do not go to bed very hungry, either. Try small amounts of food with protein or healthy fats, like cheese, almonds or peanut butter on whole grain bread.
Besides, having an alcoholic drink or strong coffee after dinner could lead to a long night.
While alcohol (酒) can help you fall asleep at first, it can also hurt your sleep cycle. As a result, the quality of sleep declines. The chances that you will wake up more often in the middle of the night increase.
Caffeine blocks (阻止) adenosine, a chemical that helps make you feel sleepy. And it can take your body up to 10 hours to clear caffeine.
What’s more, if you are still having a hard time getting a good night’s sleep after more than one month of trying, experts say it is time to go to a doctor. This is true if your sleepless nights are hurting your work performance or your mood.
24. How many methods of falling asleep does the writer mention?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
25. What should Tim do if he wants to have a good night’s sleep?
A. Sleep with an empty stomach. B. Do something that is enjoyable.
C. Go to bed as soon as his work is done. D. Have a cup of strong coffee after dinner.
26. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Seeing a doctor if you don’t sleep well.
B. Watching what you eat before sleeping.
C. Having a good night’s sleep in a scientific way.
D. Trying creating a time of separation for your sleep.
C
Experts say that, among young Internet users, it’s not the boys who create most web content. The pioneers of the Internet at the moment are the girls.
According to Jenny Baker, whose hobbies are designing icons, layouts and “glitters”, most boys just aren’t patient enough for blogging, uploading photographs, and creating their own websites. Jenny posts her designs or pictures on her own website, and believes that most boys don’t often have their own sites. She thinks it’s mainly girls.
And Jenny is right. A study shows that, among Internet users aged 12 to 17, a lot more girls blog than boys (35 percent of girls compared with 20 percent of boys). A lot more girls also work on their own web pages (32 percent of girls compared with 22 percent of boys). Girls are also ahead of boys in working on websites for other people.
Girls also seem to be more active in creating their own web business. Some of them have their own teenage podcasts (播客) which have become very successful and sometimes the creators have their own TV shows too. When asked what they think about the study that shows girls are more active on the web, they say that they’re not surprised because girls are very creative, and sometimes more creative than boys.
Other girls have started interactive e-zines (electronic magazines) with articles written for girls by girls. “Girls from everywhere read our articles, and they ask lots of questions,” they say. “I think girls like to help other people more.” One expert said: “If boys were more interested in helping other people, the numbers would be different.”
But if girls are more enthusiastic about computers, why do women only have 27 percent of computer-related jobs? Maybe this will change in the future—after all, girls like these will be in the job market before too long.
27. What type of writing is this passage?
A. A story. B. A report. C. A notice. D. A survey.
28. Why do experts say girls are the pioneers of the Internet?
A. Fewer boys are going to do computer-related jobs.
B. Girls seem to be more patient and active on the web.
C. Girls are always more creative than boys on the web.
D. More boys blog and work on their own web pages than girls.
29. Which of the following is the writer’s opinion?
A. Boys are more interested in helping other people.
B. 22 percent of boys work on their own web pages.
C. Some of the girls have their own teenage podcasts.
D. More girls will do computer-related jobs in the future.
30. What might be the best title for this passage?
A. The Age of Girls on the Internet B. Some creations of web content
C. Changes in girls’ future jobs D. Differences between boys and girls
D
Alexsandra is a fashion model in London. She has a twin. But her twin is not her sister. The twin is a product of Artificial Intelligence, or AI. Whenever she has no time to work with a photographer, the virtual (虚拟的) twin takes her place. When a company chooses to use the AI Alexsandra, the real-life version gets paid. Alexsandra said her AI twin is exactly like her.
Alexsandra’s twin is an example of how computer images (电脑图像) are influencing creative industries.
Those in favor of AI in fashion say the virtual models allow companies to show possible buyers how their clothing looks on people of all shapes and sizes. In the real world, it would be difficult and costly to find a model for every skin color and body shape.
The companies that make clothing say using AI keeps people from buying their products, trying them on at home, and then sending them back if they dislike them. The problem is that AI models can take work away from human models, makeup artists and photographers.
The fashion industry has often been criticized (批评) for using models who are only white or tall or who fit one idea of beauty. Activists for including many groups in fashion say some companies could seem like they are paying a small group of people to work when they are just using AI models.
The Associated Press (美联社) recently asked some clothing businesses to state their position on the use of AI models. AP asked Target, Kohls, Nieman Marcus, Walmart and Macys. It also asked international companies Temu, Shein and H&M. Some chose not to answer. Others said they do not use AI models. Walmart said it does not use AI models but “suppliers (供应商) may have a different way to photography.”
Others in the fashion industry are fully using AI. Cameron Wilson is a former fashion photographer who started a company in Britain called The Digitals. Wilson, who is white, designed a Black, female model named Shudu in 2017. Wilson was criticized for creating a Black model. But Shudu was used in jobs for companies like Louis Vuitton and BMW. It also helped the human model Alexsandra. She has worked in fashion shows as a real-life version of the AI model.
Alexsandra said she is proud of her work that has come from The Digitals. “The future generations can look back at and be like, ‘These are the pioneers,’” she said.
31. How does the writer start the topic of computer images?
A. By telling a story of the AI Alexsandra.
B. By introducing Alexsandra’s twin sister.
C. By giving an example of the AI Alexsandra.
D. By comparing a real person with an AI model.
32. What does the underlined phrase “in favor of”in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Refusing. B. Supporting. C. Disagreeing. D. Confirming.
33. What are the advantages of using AI models?
① It is possible to know how the clothing looks on people of all shapes and sizes.
② It is easy and cheap to find a model for every skin color and body shape.
③ It can keep buyers from sending the products back if they dislike them.
