These are five jobs that will be in high demand in the future according to the World Economic Forum. They surveyed over 800 businesses all over the world and asked them what jobs will be in high demand in the next five years. (Source: World Economic Forum, Future of Jobs Report 2024) AI and Machine Learning Specialists Almost 75% of businesses said they will need AI and Machine Learning specialists. As technology progresses, the need for skilled professionals who can develop, enhance, and protect our artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms is becoming more critical. Information Security Analysts Whether it's credit card numbers, passwords or the private information of millions of users, information security analysts will be key to protecting all the data that we store. Sustainability Specialists The environment is another area of opportunity. Businesses will need sustainability specialists to help them reduce emissions (排放), reduce energy consumption and be greener. Agricultural Equipment Operators Outside of the tech world, agricultural equipment operators are going to be key.

Digital Transformation Specialists And with this very quick technological evolution, it’s no surprise that digital transformation specialists are going to be key to help businesses adapt. The list in the Future of Jobs Report also sees potential in roles involved (涉及) in Fintech, robotics, e-commerce, digital marketing, data analysis and more. 1. Why is the information source mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. To show authority. B. To make it convenient to discuss it. C. To meet the needs of different readers. D. To provide high-quality services. 2. What percentage of businesses may need AI and Machine Learning specialists? A. Nearly 25%. B. Almost 50%. C. Nearly 75%. D. Almost 80%. 3.

In 2021, Maxwell called NeSmith to let him know that because of health problems, he would be closing his weekly newspaper, The Oglethorpe Echo. NeSmith decided to prevent the nearly 150-year-old local newspaper from being forgotten. NeSmith remembered waking up at 6 a. m. after that phone call, He jumped into his truck and drove to The Echo offices. Upon arriving, he suggested that his friend think of a new solution. “Well, what are we going to do?” Maxwell asked him. “Are you going to buy the newspaper?” NeSmith looked up, searching for an answer, Then, a sudden idea hit him. He would create an organization and Maxwell would donate The Echo to it. After leaving the office, NeSmith called Charles Davis, director of the University of Georgia’s Grady College. “I’ve got an idea,” NeSmith told him. “I want to turn The Echo into a real-life experience for students at Grady College who want to be reporters.” Davis loved the idea, and he and NeSmith developed a course with The Echo as its foundation. Students could experience a working newsroom which would act as a stepping stone into their careers. Of course, they needed someone to run the newspaper. Then Andy Johnston, who had been teaching at Grady for a month, appeared, “I believe in the project. We’ve heard about other newspapers closing, especially in rural counties,” Johnston said, “When that happens, it means their only source of news and the only thing that holds people together is closing.” Johnston teamed up with Amanda Bright, who taught the course. Bright, a community reporter, helped create new digital platforms for The Echo, including an email newsletter and a website. The Echo also ran on a team of 12 volunteers that worked at the main office. The reason The Echo was able to continue is that everyone worked together — the students, Grady College, NeSmith, Maxwell, and the residents of Oglethorpe County. 4. (改编) Why did Maxwell make the phone call to NeSmith in 2021? A. To invite him to contribute articles to The Echo. B. To seek advice on how to improve his health condition. C. To remind him of the long history of Oglethorpe County. D. To inform him of the plan to shut down the weekly newspaper. 5. What may students at Grady College get from The Echo? A. Skills for running newspapers. B. Work experience as a reporter. C. Donations to continue their education. D. Chances to study famous newspapers. 6. Why does Johnston place importance on The Echo? A. It has a long history. B. It offers fun to natives. C. It unites the local people. D. It is owned by his family. 7. (原创) What does the author intend to tell readers through the story of The Echo? A. Friendship is the most valuable treasure in life. B. A community can join hands to keep local culture alive. C. University students should take more responsibility for news. D. Old newspapers are more valuable than modern digital ones. C As night falls in the rainforest, orangutans (猩猩) climb high into the treetops to build tree nests (巢). These carefully constructed beds provide warmth, comfort, and protection against natural enemies and mosquitoes. Scientists have long been curious about how young orangutans learn such a complex skill. Recent research shows that they learn it through observation and practice — a process known as observational social learning. Nest-building is essential for orangutan survival. It is neither purely inborn nor quickly mastered. Constructing a nest requires physical strength, clever hands, and decision-making regarding materials and structure. Night nests are especially well-designed, often featuring linings, pillows, and even roofs. This makes nest-building a challenging task. Young orangutans begin to show interest in nest-building at around six months old. They start practicing simple day nests at about one year of age. Their first attempts are often unstable and poorly constructed. Over the next four to five years, they gradually improve their skills by watching their mothers and practicing repeatedly. By the time they are six or seven years old, they can build perfect nests. The study of orangutan nest-building provides valuable insights into animal intelligence and the evolution of human cognition. It demonstrates that complex skills can be transmitted culturally across generations, a trait once thought to be uniquely human. 8. Why do orangutans build tree nests? A. To store food. B. For warmth, comfort, and protection. C. To play with other orangutans. D. To practice their climbing skills. 9. How do young orangutans learn to build nests? A. They are born with the skill. B. They learn quickly in a few weeks. C. Through observation and practice. D. They are taught by their fathers. 10. At what age do orangutans typically become skilled at building nests? A. Six months old. B. One year old. C. Four to five years old. D. Six to seven years old. 11. What does the study of orangutan nest-building suggest? A. Only humans can learn complex skills. B. Animals can transmit skills culturally. C. Nest-building is purely instinctual. D. Orangutans are the smartest animals. D Keeping food cold often comes with a hidden problem: Traditional ice melts (融化), leaving pools of water that can make drinks watery, damage products, or even spread dangerous bacteria. Now, researchers at the University of California, Davis, have created jelly ice, a reusable and biodegradable (可生物降解的) alternative that cools like ice but never melts into liquid. The new material is made of 90% water and can be shaped into various forms. It stays solid below freezing, softens at room temperature, and can be reused by simply washing and refreezing. “Compared to regular ice of the same shape and size, jelly ice has up to 80% of the cooling efficiency,” said Jiahan Zou, a study researcher, “We can reuse the material and maintain the heat absorbance across multiple cooling and warning cycles, an advantage that regular ice cannot offer.” The project began when UC Davis food scientists noticed how much ice was used in fish-processing plants and how meltwater could spread bacteria. Seeking a safer option for grocery seafood displays, the team turned to gelatin a food-safe material whose protein structure can trap water even as it freezes and thaws (解冻). After years of testing, the researchers perfected a simple, one-step process for making jelly ice. The material is made from natural components and can be biodegraded after use. It doesn’t contribute to microplastic pollution, even offering a side benefit of improving tomato plant growth when added to soil. Beyond grocery stores, jelly ice could have wide applications. It could help preserve medical supplies during shipping, reduce waste in biotechnology, and provide reliable cooling options. It promises fresher food shipments without the mess of melting ice packs while also offering a sustainable alternative that reduces pollution risks and supports agriculture Although licenses for the technology have already been secured, jelly ice is not yet available for public purchase. It still requires market analysis, product design, and large-scale production testing. Inspired by its success, the team is now studying other natural polymers, such as plant-based proteins, to see if similar innovations can be developed. 12. What is one advantage of jelly ice over traditional ice? A. Fixed shape. B. Saving water. C. Repeated use. D. Cooling efficiency. 13. What does the author imply about jelly ice in paragraphs 3 and 4? A. It stretches tomato growing cycles B. It adopts a bacteria-free material. C. It shortens the freezing time. D. It lowers environmental impacts. 14. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The official approval is underway. B. Jelly ice needs further development. C. Traditional ice will soon disappear. D. Other natural polymers will be available. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Game-changer That Controls Bacteria. B. A Cooling Alternative That We Can Order. C. A Cooling Material That Doesn’t Melt. D. A Quick Fix That Cuts Biological Pollution. 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。 An Unsung Hero Need a break between classes or just a quick pick-me-up in the morning?

In 2021, Maxwell called NeSmith to let him know that because of health problems, he would be closing his weekly newspaper, The Oglethorpe Echo. NeSmith decided to prevent the nearly 150-year-old local newspaper from being forgotten. NeSmith remembered waking up at 6 a. m. after that phone call, He jumped into his truck and drove to The Echo offices. Upon arriving, he suggested that his friend think of a new solution. “Well, what are we going to do?” Maxwell asked him. “Are you going to buy the newspaper?” NeSmith looked up, searching for an answer, Then, a sudden idea hit him. He would create an organization and Maxwell would donate The Echo to it. After leaving the office, NeSmith called Charles Davis, director of the University of Georgia’s Grady College. “I’ve got an idea,” NeSmith told him. “I want to turn The Echo into a real-life experience for students at Grady College who want to be reporters.” Davis loved the idea, and he and NeSmith developed a course with The Echo as its foundation. Students could experience a working newsroom which would act as a stepping stone into their careers. Of course, they needed someone to run the newspaper. Then Andy Johnston, who had been teaching at Grady for a month, appeared, “I believe in the project. We’ve heard about other newspapers closing, especially in rural counties,” Johnston said, “When that happens, it means their only source of news and the only thing that holds people together is closing.” Johnston teamed up with Amanda Bright, who taught the course. Bright, a community reporter, helped create new digital platforms for The Echo, including an email newsletter and a website. The Echo also ran on a team of 12 volunteers that worked at the main office. The reason The Echo was able to continue is that everyone worked together — the students, Grady College, NeSmith, Maxwell, and the residents of Oglethorpe County. 4.

These carefully constructed beds provide warmth, comfort, and protection against natural enemies and mosquitoes. Scientists have long been curious about how young orangutans learn such a complex skill. Recent research shows that they learn it through observation and practice — a process known as observational social learning. Nest-building is essential for orangutan survival. It is neither purely inborn nor quickly mastered. Constructing a nest requires physical strength, clever hands, and decision-making regarding materials and structure. Night nests are especially well-designed, often featuring linings, pillows, and even roofs. This makes nest-building a challenging task. Young orangutans begin to show interest in nest-building at around six months old. They start practicing simple day nests at about one year of age. Their first attempts are often unstable and poorly constructed. Over the next four to five years, they gradually improve their skills by watching their mothers and practicing repeatedly. By the time they are six or seven years old, they can build perfect nests. The study of orangutan nest-building provides valuable insights into animal intelligence and the evolution of human cognition. It demonstrates that complex skills can be transmitted culturally across generations, a trait once thought to be uniquely human. 8. Why do orangutans build tree nests? A. To store food. B. For warmth, comfort, and protection. C. To play with other orangutans. D. To practice their climbing skills. 9. How do young orangutans learn to build nests? A. They are born with the skill. B. They learn quickly in a few weeks. C. Through observation and practice. D. They are taught by their fathers. 10. At what age do orangutans typically become skilled at building nests? A. Six months old. B. One year old. C. Four to five years old. D. Six to seven years old. 11. What does the study of orangutan nest-building suggest? A. Only humans can learn complex skills. B. Animals can transmit skills culturally. C. Nest-building is purely instinctual. D. Orangutans are the smartest animals. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11.

Now, researchers at the University of California, Davis, have created jelly ice, a reusable and biodegradable (可生物降解的) alternative that cools like ice but never melts into liquid. The new material is made of 90% water and can be shaped into various forms. It stays solid below freezing, softens at room temperature, and can be reused by simply washing and refreezing. “Compared to regular ice of the same shape and size, jelly ice has up to 80% of the cooling efficiency,” said Jiahan Zou, a study researcher, “We can reuse the material and maintain the heat absorbance across multiple cooling and warning cycles, an advantage that regular ice cannot offer.” The project began when UC Davis food scientists noticed how much ice was used in fish-processing plants and how meltwater could spread bacteria. Seeking a safer option for grocery seafood displays, the team turned to gelatin a food-safe material whose protein structure can trap water even as it freezes and thaws (解冻). After years of testing, the researchers perfected a simple, one-step process for making jelly ice. The material is made from natural components and can be biodegraded after use. It doesn’t contribute to microplastic pollution, even offering a side benefit of improving tomato plant growth when added to soil. Beyond grocery stores, jelly ice could have wide applications. It could help preserve medical supplies during shipping, reduce waste in biotechnology, and provide reliable cooling options. It promises fresher food shipments without the mess of melting ice packs while also offering a sustainable alternative that reduces pollution risks and supports agriculture Although licenses for the technology have already been secured, jelly ice is not yet available for public purchase. It still requires market analysis, product design, and large-scale production testing. Inspired by its success, the team is now studying other natural polymers, such as plant-based proteins, to see if similar innovations can be developed. 12. What is one advantage of jelly ice over traditional ice? A. Fixed shape. B. Saving water. C. Repeated use. D. Cooling efficiency. 13. What does the author imply about jelly ice in paragraphs 3 and 4? A. It stretches tomato growing cycles B. It adopts a bacteria-free material. C. It shortens the freezing time. D. It lowers environmental impacts. 14. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. The official approval is underway. B. Jelly ice needs further development. C. Traditional ice will soon disappear. D. Other natural polymers will be available. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Game-changer That Controls Bacteria. B. A Cooling Alternative That We Can Order. C. A Cooling Material That Doesn’t Melt. D. A Quick Fix That Cuts Biological Pollution. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15.

Zigong lanterns are now _____45_____ name card for their hometown and motherland. 【答案】36. to admire 37. on 38. where 39. described 40. are made 41. varieties 42. production 43. national 44. presenting 45. a 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中国灯笼文化。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在元宵节和中秋节欣赏灯笼的魅力是一种习俗。“It is +形容词+ to do sth.”为常用句型，其中it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式，所以此处用to admire。故填to admire。 【37题详解】 考查介词。句意：在这样的场合，全国各地都会举办灯展。“on... occasions”为固定搭配，意为“在……场合”，所以此处填on。故填on。 【38题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：在中国东北，灯会在冰雪上举行，在那里冰雕营造出一个光与色的童话世界。此处为非限制性定语从句，先行词为“Northeast China”，表示地点，在从句中作地点状语，所以用关系副词where引导该定语从句。故填where。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：提到中国灯笼，就不能不提到四川省的一座城市——自贡，它常被称为“灯城”。分析句子结构可知，句子已有谓语动词“would not be”，describe需用非谓语形式。describe与逻辑主语“Zigong”之间是被动关系，即“自贡被称为”，所以用过去分词described作后置定语。故填described。 【40题详解】 考查动词语态和时态。句意：大多数中国灯笼是用金属丝结构和织物覆盖物制作而成的。此处描述客观事实，用一般现在时。“Most Chinese lanterns”与“make”之间是被动关系，即“灯笼被制作”，所以用一般现在时的被动语态，其结构为“am/is/are +过去分词”，主语“Most Chinese lanterns”是复数，所以用are made。故填are made。 【41题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：为了增添其美感，自贡的工匠们还使用各种材料，如丝绸、纸张、竹子甚至瓷器。“varieties of...”为固定短语，意为“各种各样的……”，所以此处用varieties。故填varieties。 【42题详解】 考查名词。句意：灯笼制作现在是当地经济的一个驱动力。根据空前的“Lantern”及空后的“is”可知，此处应用名词production作主语，意为“生产，制作”，不可数。故填production。 【43题详解】 考查形容词。句意：自贡工匠们的巧手还将这一国家级非物质文化遗产带到了国外，在全球70多个国家和地区的灯展上展示色彩的奇妙与欢乐。此处修饰名词“intangible heritage”，应用形容词national，意为“国家的，国家级的”。故填national。 【44题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：自贡工匠们的巧手还将这一国家级非物质文化遗产带到了国外，在全球70多个国家和地区的灯展上展示色彩的奇妙与欢乐。分析句子结构可知，句子已有谓语动词“have taken”，present需用非谓语形式。present与逻辑主语“The clever hands of Zigong craftsmen”之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词presenting作伴随状语。故填presenting。 【45题详解】 考查冠词。句意：自贡灯笼现在是它们家乡和祖国的一张名片。“name card”为可数名词单数，此处表示泛指“一张名片”，且“name”是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词a。故填a。 第三节（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 选择并使用所选词汇的正确形式完成句子。选项中有两项为多余选项。 breathe life into give rise to at large take off pay off let sb down in turn 46.
