B Miss Martha owned a small bakery (面包店). She was forty, a kind woman with a big imagination. She often wondered about the customers in her shop. One customer made her very curious. He was a middle-aged man with glasses, who always wore old clothes, but clean. He came twice a week, and each time, he only bought two loaves (条) of hard bread. He never looked at her delicious pies or fresh cakes. Miss Martha decided he must be a poor, hungry artist. She imagined him living in a very small, cheap room, thinking only about his painting so much that he forgot to eat. The idea touched her kind heart. She began to wish she could help him. The next time he came to the shop, she acted quickly while his back was turned. She took two hard loaves, made a small hole in each, and put a large piece of fresh butter inside. Then she wrapped (包装) them up as usual. Her heart beat fast as she handed him the bread. She spent the rest of the day dreaming that he would discover her kindness and thank her. Suddenly, the quiet of the afternoon was broken. The shop door flew open, and the man stormed in. His face was dark with anger. He threw the bread down hard on the table. “I am an architect (建筑师)!” he shouted. “For the past three months, I have been working on a building plan. I draw in pencil, and I use pieces of hard bread as erasers. It works better than a rubber eraser! But now... look.” He held up his drawing. A huge, dirty mark from the butter ran across the clean, straight lines. “You filled my bread with butter!” he shouted. “My work is damaged!” —Adapted from Witches’ Loaves by O. Henry 14. What does the first paragraph introduce? A. The meaning of the story. B. The ending of the story. C. The background of the story. D. The surprise of the story. 15. Why did Miss Martha put butter in the man’s bread? A. To help the man in secret. B. To show her love for the man. C. To improve the man’s work. D. To make the bread look better. 16. What’s the correct time order of the following events? ①The man went to the shop angrily. ②Miss Martha was curious about the man. ③The man began to work on a building plan. ④The man tried to erase lines with the bread that had butter inside. A. ②④①③ B. ③②④① C. ③④②① D. ②③④① 17. What might Miss Martha realize in the end? A. Good actions need real understanding first. B. People had better try to make perfect plans. C. You should avoid offering help to strangers. D. It’s impolite to ask about other people’s lives. C Every time generative artificial intelligence (生成式人工智能) writes an e-mail or creates a picture, the planet pays for it. A single chat with ChatGPT can heat up a server (服务器) so much that it requires a bottle of water to cool it. And recent research in Nature Computational Science points out another worry: AI is a big cause of the world’s growing pile of electronic waste. The study found that generative AI applications alone could add 1.2 million to 5 million metric tons of this hazardous trash (有害垃圾) to the planet by 2030, depending on how quickly the industry grows. Such a contribution would add to the tens of millions of tons of electronic products the world produces every year. Phones, computers, and other electronic products often contain toxic substances (有毒物质). When improperly thrown away, they can pollute air, water and soil. The UN found that in 2022, about 78% of the world’s e-waste ended up in landfills(垃圾填埋场) or at unofficial (非正规) recycling places. Asaf Tzachor, a researcher at Reichman University, says we must reduce this technology’s environmental influence. The researchers warn that more and more people might use generative AI. Hardware design innovations, meanwhile, could reduce e-waste, but other technological development can make systems cheaper so that more people may use it. This study’s main value comes from its attention to AI’s broad environmental influences, says Shaolei Ren of the University of California. “We might want these companies to slow down a bit.” Few countries have strong laws for the e-waste, and those that do often fail to enforce their laws on it. 25 U.S. states have e-waste management policies, but there is no law that requires electronics recycling. Some companies, however, announce to be taking independent action. Microsoft and Google have promised to reach net zero waste by 2030; achieving them would most likely need to reduce or recycle AI related e-waste. ______AI products are harder to recycle than standard electronics because they often include a lot of private customer information, says Kees Baldé, an e-waste researcher at the U.N. Institute for Training and Research. But big tech companies can afford to both erase those data and properly deal with their electronics, he points out. “Yes, it costs something, but the gains for society are much larger.” 18. How does the writer show that generative AI produces problems? A. By giving examples. B. By telling stories. C. By asking questions. D. By showing pictures. 19. What can we learn about e-waste? A. It pollutes the water seriously because it can’t be recycled. B. It can be reduced by developing new generative AI systems. C. It may pollute the environment if improperly thrown away. D. It is mainly produced by common electronic products like phones. 20. Which of the following is the most suitable for ______? A. Moreover, there’s another problem as well. B. As a result, they devoted much money to recycling. C. However, some companies care little about customers. D. Instead, the use of AI products is increasing even faster. 21. What will the writer most probably talk about next? A. The advantages of using generative AI. B. The history of inventing generative AI. C. The influence AI has on the environment. D. The ways to solve AI’s e-waste problem. D Scientists have come up with a new way of identifying (识别) animals in an area—by testing DNA in the air. The researchers believe their new method could help scientists keep track of animals that are hard to spot, including endangered animals. Two teams of scientists—one in Denmark and one in the United Kingdom—came up with the same question at about the same time: Could they identify the animals in an area from DNA that was simply floating in the air? Every living thing has DNA that can be used to identify it. They leave bits of DNA behind them wherever they go. DNA left behind like this is called “environmental” DNA, or cDNA. Scientists can use it to tell what kinds of animals are in a certain place. Testing for cDNA isn’t a new idea. But most of the time, scientists look for cDNA in water. Neither team knew that the other group was working on a similar experiment. One collected samples from different locations at Denmark’s Copenhagen Zoo, and the other at Hamerton Zoo Park in the UK. The scientists used slightly (稍微) different methods to collect their samples. But basically, both teams used vacuums (真空吸尘器) and fans to collect tiny bits of DNA. In the laboratory, by comparing their samples with examples of DNA from different animals, the scientists were able to identify many different animals at the zoos. The scientists chose to test in zoos because they had rare animals not naturally found in the area. Each team only discovered about the other experiment after they had written a paper about their own results. The two decided to combine(合并) their results and publish a paper together. Both teams are excited about the ways this new method could be used in the wild. The researchers believe the method could help scientists a lot. Scientists have been looking for better ways to track endangered animals without interfering (干扰) with them. If researchers know where the animals live, they can do a better job of protecting them. The next step is to figure out how to take this method into nature. 22. What is the primary purpose of using cDNA according to the article? A. To prevent DNA of animals from floating in the air. B. To attract rare animals to zoos for better protection. C. To identify animals by testing DNA found in the air. D. To save endangered animals away from all the diseases. 23. Which of the following is TRUE about the two teams of scientists? A. They knew each other very well before. B. They found more rare animals for zoos. C. They worked together to publish a paper. D. They used quite different methods to collect DNA. 24. What does the underlined phrase “keep track of”in paragraph 1 mean? A. protect B. follow C. discover D. feed 25. What is the article mainly about? A. Proper ways of studying rare animals. B. Differences between DNA and cDNA. C. Challenges of protecting endangered animals. D. The cDNA Testing for Animal Identification. 三、信息还原(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分) 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Now that the weather is starting to get warmer, plants are slowly waking up. 26 Check out these four tips! Repot (将…移栽至更大的容器) your plants. As green plants wake up, they are starting to stretch (伸展) and produce new shoots. It is the perfect time to repot your plants. 27 Plants prefer their roots to be slightly bound (受约束). Therefore, the new pot shouldn’t be too much larger than the old one. Do spring cleaning. 28 Cleaning the dust off the leaves helps your plants take in more sunlight. You can gently clean both sides of the leaves with a wet cloth. Some people take their plants into the bathroom and give them a gentle shower. Feed your plants. Spring is the time when each plant says, “Feed me!” You can buy organic fertilizer(有机肥料) and feed your plants with it. It’s also a good idea to make your own fertilizer from compost (堆肥) or coffee grounds. Start with a small amount of fertilizer, and slowly increase it to the full amount by the summer. 29 30 Before watering your plants, you need to check the soil first. This will tell you if you need to water them now or to wait. To do this, simply push your finger about an inch down into the soil. Because of the increasingly hot weather, plants usually need more water in spring. However, watering plants too much is a leading cause of losing house plants. So be careful not to overwater them. A. Spring is the season for cleaning. B. Water your plants correctly. C. Plants grow much faster in spring than in other seasons. D. What special care do house plants need to grow in spring? E. Otherwise, there is a risk that the plants will die. F. Everything looks green and flowers are rushing to bloom. G. This will give them room to grow and reduce the risk of root rot. 四、词汇检测(共13小题；每小题1分，满分13分) A)根据下列句子所给汉语注释或上下文，在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式，每空限填一词。 31.

For this reason, people are paying less attention to handwriting. As a result, they can’t even remember exactly how to write a given character sometimes. This is called “character amnesia (提笔忘字)”. To change the situation, the TV program named Chinese Character Dictation (听写) Competition came out. Meng Man, who teaches at Minzu University of China, took part in the competition as a judge. “I was surprised by some competitors because I couldn’t even remember how to write certain characters, but they could,” she said. “Now many adults have trouble writing Chinese characters. The program is really great, since it draws people’s attention to this problem.” When typing or texting, most people use a system where they type out the pinyin of a character and then get a list of all possible Chinese characters. They just need to choose the one they want from the list. The bad thing about the system is that it stops people from thinking about how a Chinese character is formed. “Chinese characters are usually square. They teach people to be upright (正直的). Typing or texting will affect people’s understanding of the traditional culture behind the Chinese characters,”Meng said. To solve the problem of “character amnesia”, experts suggest that people change their mobile phone texting way from pinyin to handwriting. In this way, they can avoid forgetting how to write characters. 54. What problem do some people face according to Paragraph 1? 55. What’s the disadvantage of using the pinyin typing system? 56. Do you think it’s necessary for us to write Chinese characters? Why? 七、书面表达(共1题；满分25分) 57. 假设你校将迎来一批加拿大交换生，为帮助他们了解中国传统文化，现邀请你为他们介绍端午节及习俗。内容包括： （1）向交换生介绍端午节； （2）介绍包粽子的具体步骤； （3）包粽子的体验带来的感受与愿望。 要求： （1）词数100左右，开头已写好，不计入总词数； （2）适当展开想象，增加细节； （3）照抄试卷中语篇内容不得分； （4）文中不得出现真实校名和姓名等信息。 fold the leaves (折粽叶)glutinous rice (糯米) fillings (馅儿): dates (红枣), ... wrap (包)...with strings (绳子) boil (煮) for about 1 hour Hello everyone!
