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 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.

The shop door flew open, and the man stormed in. His face was dark with anger.”可知男人用涂了黄油的面包擦线条，导致工作受损，所以他怒气冲冲地来到商店，所以正确顺序是③②④①。故选B。 【17题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，面包店店主玛莎出于善意，误以为一位常客是贫困的艺术家，于是在他常买的硬面包里偷偷加入黄油，结果却破坏了他用面包当橡皮擦的设计图纸，可推知玛莎最终会意识到：善意行动前应先真正理解对方的需要，否则可能适得其反。故选A。 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. 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 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. 【答案】18. A 19. C 20. A 21. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了随着人工智能快速发展带来的环境问题。 【18题详解】 根据第一段“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...”，可知作者通过不断给出具体例子来展示生成式人工智能带来的环境问题。 【19题详解】 由最后一段“But big tech companies can afford to both erase those data and properly deal with their electronics”可知，电子垃圾可以被回收，排除A项；第三段“Hardware design innovations, meanwhile, could reduce e-waste”说明能减少电子垃圾的是硬件设计创新，B项错误；第二段明确指出“When improperly thrown away, they can pollute air, water and soil”，电子垃圾处理不恰当，会污染环境，C项符合句意；根据第二段“Phones, computers, and other electronic products often contain toxic substances”，可知产生电子垃圾的设备包括手机、电脑和其他电子产品。 【20题详解】 综合第六段，该段主要讲述回收人工智能相关产品时出现的问题和现状。这类电子垃圾包含用户的私人信息，回收成本高昂，也属于一个需要面对的问题。A项符合逻辑。 【21题详解】 本文主要介绍了人工智能发展带来的相关环境问题，最后一段描述了回收人工智能相关产品的现状，接下来作者应该会谈及如何处理人工智能电子垃圾的方法。D项符合逻辑。 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 eDNA. Scientists can use it to tell what kinds of animals are in a certain place. Testing for eDNA isn’t a new idea. But most of the time, scientists look for eDNA 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 eDNA 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 eDNA. C. Challenges of protecting endangered animals. D. The eDNA Testing for Animal Identification. 【答案】22. C 23. C 24. B 25. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍丹麦和英国两支科研团队各自研究通过空气中的环境DNA（eDNA）识别动物的新方法，在动物园完成采样实验后合并研究成果共同发表论文，该新技术未来有望在野外用于追踪和保护濒危动物。 【22题详解】 第一段指出：“Scientists have come up with a new way of identifying (识别) animals in an area—by testing DNA in the air.”，第三段指出：“DNA left behind like this is called ‘environmental’ DNA, or eDNA. Scientists can use it to tell what kinds of animals are in a certain place.”，两句说明eDNA的用途是借助空气中的DNA识别动物。 【23题详解】 第六段指出：“The two decided to combine (合并) their results and publish a paper together.”，能够证明两支科研团队合作发表论文。 【24题详解】 第一段指出：“their new method could help scientists keep track of animals that are hard to spot”，该方法用来找寻、追踪难以发现的动物，keep track of意为追踪，和follow含义一致。 【25题详解】 全文围绕科学家研发利用空气中eDNA识别动物的检测技术展开，介绍实验过程、实验成果与应用前景。 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.

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? __________________________________________________ 【答案】54. They have character amnesia./They sometimes can’t remember exactly how to write certain Chinese characters. 55. It stops people from thinking about how a Chinese character is formed. 56. Yes, I think so. Because writing Chinese characters helps us inherit traditional Chinese culture and develop good qualities. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了随着打字和发短信的普及，人们出现了“提笔忘字”的现象，分析了拼音输入法的弊端，指出书写汉字有助于理解传统文化，并强调了手写汉字的重要性。 【54题详解】 根据第一段“As a result, they can’t even remember exactly how to write a given character sometimes. This is called ‘character amnesia’.”可知，人们有时会忘记如何书写某个汉字，面临着提笔忘字的问题。 【55题详解】 文章第三段“The bad thing about the system is that it stops people from thinking about how a Chinese character is formed.”表明拼音输入法系统的缺点是阻碍了人们对汉字结构的思考。答案几乎是原文引述。 【56题详解】 开放性作答，言之有理即可。参考答案为Yes, I think so. Because writing Chinese characters helps us inherit traditional Chinese culture and develop good qualities. 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!

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 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.

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. 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 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 eDNA. Scientists can use it to tell what kinds of animals are in a certain place. Testing for eDNA isn’t a new idea. But most of the time, scientists look for eDNA 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 eDNA 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 eDNA. C. Challenges of protecting endangered animals. D. The eDNA 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!
