I never considered myself an athlete at all as I was very uncoordinated (不协调的). However, I did love to run because I felt as if I was flying, but this all changed two years ago when I suffered a knee injury. I was bedridden for two weeks and I had a difficult time moving even short distances. I literally cried myself on my way to the car for a few days. When therapy wasn’t working well for me, I signed up for a hot yoga class for girls, Bikram Yoga to be exact. Starting a yoga practice was truly a godsend because it helped me gain strength in my knees but, most importantly, yoga helped me attain a more peaceful state of mind, body and spirit. Since each class was heated to 105 F, every time I set foot in the yoga studio, I’d feel a surge (涌起) of negative thoughts come upon me like a big ocean wave. Some of these thoughts were, in the beginning of my practice, so strong that I walked out of the class several times, However, as the months passed by, I noticed that when I didn’t get swayed away by my negative thoughts, I could stay in the hot room for longer. After 3-4 months of practicing hot yoga, my arms and legs were beginning to get definition. I also woke up with so much more energy than I had before starting my yoga practice and I gradually started shedding the pounds from my body. Yoga literally made me feel as if I’d taken a shot of energy drink and just gave me that burst that helped my knees heal and made my overall health better. As I saw some of my classmates do poses that looked appealing to me, I started to think maybe I could do them too. Therefore, yoga helped show me that I have no real limitations physically unless I set those limitations myself through eating junk and thinking in negative limiting terms. Also, practicing yoga in front of a mirror helped me connect with myself and practicing with a group of people really helped me to feel a greater sense of connection with humanity whereas before I didn’t. Overall, this yoga practice has helped me to see I’m part of a bigger picture in life! 40. What once depressed the author terribly? A. Her inability to walk B. Her being uncoordinated. C. Her failure to find her car. D. Her serious physical disease. 41. What was the effect of yoga classes on the author’s mind? A. She got emotionally smarter. B. She felt limited but hopeful. C. She became mentally stronger. D. She accepted herself as she was. 42. What difficulty did the author meet while attending each yoga class? A. The temperature was difficult to control in yoga class. B. She couldn’t bear the pain the knee injury brought. C. She was greatly influenced by negative thoughts. D. Lack of confidence prevented the author doing yoga. 43. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4? A. She did better than her classmates at school. B. Her physical state has acquired a new outlook. C. She has developed many healthy eating habits. D. Her social circle was widened in the yoga classes. 44. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To call on readers to sign up for yoga courses. B. To present the benefits of practicing yoga regularly. C. To show readers the necessary skills needed to do yoga. D. To share with readers her experience in taking yoga classes. 【答案】40. A 41. C 42. C 43. B 44. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者因膝盖受伤而陷入低谷，后通过练习高温瑜伽重获身心力量并改变生活态度的经历。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, I did love to run because I felt as if I was flying, but this all changed two years ago when I suffered a knee injury. I was bedridden for two weeks and I had a difficult time moving even short distances.(然而，我确实喜欢跑步，因为我觉得自己好像在飞，但这一切在两年前我膝盖受伤时发生了改变。我在床上躺了两个星期，即使是很短的距离也很难移动)”可知，作者因膝盖受伤无法行走，这让她非常沮丧。故选A。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Starting a yoga practice was truly a godsend because it helped me gain strength in my knees but, most importantly, yoga helped me attain a more peaceful state of mind, body and spirit.(开始练习瑜伽真是天赐之物，因为它帮助我增强了膝盖的力量，但最重要的是，瑜伽帮助我获得了更平和的身心和精神状态)”可知，瑜伽让作者在精神上变得更强大。故选C。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Since each class was heated to 105 F, every time I set foot in the yoga studio, I’d feel a surge (涌起) of negative thoughts come upon me like a big ocean wave.(因为每节课的温度都高达105华氏度，所以每次我走进瑜伽室，都会感到一股负面情绪像海浪一样向我涌来)”可知，作者在每次上瑜伽课时都会受到负面情绪的极大影响。故选C。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“After 3-4 months of practicing hot yoga, my arms and legs were beginning to get definition. I also woke up with so much more energy than I had before starting my yoga practice and I gradually started shedding the pounds from my body. Yoga literally made me feel as if I’d taken a shot of energy drink and just gave me that burst that helped my knees heal and made my overall health better.(坚持练习高温瑜伽三到四个月后，我的四肢开始变得线条紧致有型。晨起时的精力也远比开始练瑜伽前充沛得多，体重也在慢慢下降。练瑜伽的感觉，就像喝下了一大口能量饮料，瞬间充满活力；这份活力不仅助力我的膝盖慢慢恢复，也让我的整体健康状况都好了很多)”可知，作者的身体状况有了新的改观。故选B。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段中“Overall, this yoga practice has helped me to see I’m part of a bigger picture in life!(总的来说，这次瑜伽练习让我明白，我是生活中更大画卷的一部分！)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是分享她上瑜伽课的经历。故选D。 The robots are coming! In science fiction that is usually a ominous warning. But in the real world, it is a prediction — and a welcome one. The field of robotics has made impressive progress in the past year, as researchers have applied advances in artificial intelligence (AI) to machines, which gives robots of all kinds a dramatic brain upgrade. The latest advances in robotics will bring real and substantial benefits. One is that new “multimoda” AI models combine understanding of language and vision with data from robotic sensors and actuators. This makes it possible to deal with robots using ordinary words. You can ask a robot what it is able to see or tell it to “pick up the yellow fruit”. Such models in effect give robots a degree of common sense — in this case, knowing that a nearby banana is a kind of yellow fruit. And like a chatbot, a robot can be told to change its behaviour simply by changing a text prompt, something that would previously have required complex reprogramming. Another benefit is that robots are getting better at learning quickly through imitation and at applying one skill to another. This opens the door for robots to move out of factories and storehouses. Several companies and research groups are using the latest AI models to build human-like robots, which could cook, clean, and care for the aged and the needy. Advanced economies will need more automation if they are to maintain their standards of living. South Korea, Japan and China are all in the top five countries with the most robots for each factory worker. It is no coincidence that they are also ageing rapidly. Without robots to help out, more people may have to work longer and retire later. In the coming years, attitudes could well change from fearing the arrival of robots to wishing that they would get here sooner. 45. What does the underlined word “ominous” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Global. B. Early. C. Obvious. D. Threatening. 46. What do new “multimodal” AI models enable robots to do? A. Perform complex reprogramming. B. Have a conversation with humans. C. Respond to everyday language. D. Correct text instructions. 47. What does the author stress about robots in paragraph 3? A. They will play a key role in factories. B. They will take on more human tasks. C. They will require less human monitoring. D. They will benefit the aged more than others. 48. Why are South Korea, Japan and China mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To show they have many robots. B. To explain the role of robots in ageing societies. C. To share their experience with robots. D. To discuss why their populations are ageing. 49. What is the author’s attitude to advances in robotics? A. Favourable. B. Unclear. C. Concerned. D. Flexible. 【答案】45. D 46. C 47. B 48. B 49. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在现实世界中，机器人技术取得进步，最新进展带来实质性好处，未来应用前景广阔。 【45题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“The robots are coming! In science fiction that is usually a ominous warning. But in the real world, it is a prediction—and a welcome one. (机器人时代即将来临！在科幻小说中，这通常是一个ominous的警告。但在现实世界中，这是一个预测——也是一个受欢迎的预测。)”可知，在科幻小说中，机器人到来通常是不祥的警告，ominous意思是“不祥的，威胁的”。故选D。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“One is that new “multimoda” AI models combine understanding of language and vision with data from robotic sensors and actuators. This makes it possible to deal with robots using ordinary words. (其中之一是，新的“多模态”人工智能模型将语言和视觉的理解与机器人传感器和执行器的数据相结合。这使得用普通词汇与机器人打交道成为可能。)”可知，新的“多模态”人工智能模型使机器人能够回应日常语言。故选C。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Several companies and research groups are using the latest AI models to build human-like robots, which could cook, clean, and care for the aged and the needy. (几家公司和研究小组正在使用最新的人工智能模型制造类人机器人，这些机器人可以做饭、打扫卫生，照顾老年人和有需要的人。)”可知，作者在第三段中强调机器人将承担更多的人类任务。故选B。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“South Korea, Japan and China are all in the top five countries with the most robots for each factory worker. It is no coincidence that they are also ageing rapidly. Without robots to help out, more people may have to work longer and retire later. (韩国、日本和中国都是每个工厂工人拥有机器人数量最多的五个国家之一。它们也在迅速老龄化，这并非巧合。如果没有机器人的帮助，更多的人可能不得不延长工作时间，推迟退休。)”可知，提到韩国、日本和中国是为了解释机器人在老龄化社会中的作用。故选B。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“The latest advances in robotics will bring real and substantial benefits. (机器人技术的最新进展将带来实实在在的巨大好处。)”以及最后一段中“In the coming years, attitudes could well change from fearing the arrival of robots to wishing that they would get here sooner. (在未来几年，人们对机器人的态度很可能会从害怕它们的到来转变为希望它们能更快到来。)”可知，作者对机器人技术的进步持支持态度。故选A。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共35分） 第四部分：写作 第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语问答问题（请注意问题后词数要求）。 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 When 16-year-old Colin Moore is out on the football field, he is putting his heart into the game and looks just like any other teenage athlete out there. But what makes him different than the rest, is that he’s playing without part of his arm. Moore was born without the lower part of his right arm, but he’s never let that stop him from achieving anything he’s put his mind to in his life, including football. “I’ve always had to have a mind of steel, heart of gold, and just move forward no matter what.” Moore said. Although his arm difference has never got in the way of anything, it’s been a challenge for him. But in everything he does, he’s worked twice as hard as everyone else to make sure he would succeed. Moore’s goal is to be a starting center, which requires a lot of body strength. Even though he is missing an arm, he makes up for it with his fast movements and strength, making him the perfect choice for this position. Moore looks up to the Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, and aims to be just like him one day. Moore’s hard work even got him noticed by his hero. After seeing a video of Moore playing football, Kelce sent him one back. Kelce told Moore that his perseverance is a great encouragement to him. He even invited Moore to join him and the Eagles at their training camp so they could meet him. Moore’s coach Frank Holmes agrees with Kelce and compliments Moore’s perseverance. “The thing I can say about Colin is this: he was born with a challenging situation, but every day he has a positive attitude and focuses fully on whatever he does. He trains hard.” 50. What makes Moore different from other athletes? (no more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 51. How did Moore achieve his goal? (no more than 5 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 52. What did Jason Kelce do after seeing Moore play? (no more than 20 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 53. What is the meaning of the underlined word in the last paragraph? (1 word) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 54. How does Moore’s story inspire you? Please explain. (no more than 20 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】50. He plays football without part of his arm. / He plays football with a part of his arm missing./Playing football without part of his arm./ He plays without part of his arm. 51. By working hard. / By training hard. / With perseverance./ With hard work. 52. Kelce sent him a video, praised his perseverance, and invited him to training camp. / Kelce was inspired by his perseverance and invited him to train with him. 53. Praises./ Admires. /Appreciates./ Respects./ Applauds./ Honors. 54. Moore’s story inspires me to persevere despite challenges and work hard to achieve my goals. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位名叫科林·摩尔的16岁足球运动员，尽管天生缺失右臂下半部分，但他从不放弃，凭借坚定的意志和努力，成功在足球场上脱颖而出。 【50题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段中“But what makes him different than the rest, is that he’s playing without part of his arm.(但让他与众不同的是，他在部分手臂缺失的情况下参加比赛)”可知，穆尔与其他参加比赛的运动员不同，他部分手臂缺失。故答案为：He plays football without part of his arm. / He plays football with a part of his arm missing./Playing football without part of his arm./ He plays without part of his arm. 【51题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段中“Moore was born without the lower part of his right arm, but he’s never let that stop him from achieving anything he’s put his mind to in his life, including football. “I’ve always had to have a mind of steel, heart of gold, and just move forward no matter what.” Moore said.(摩尔出生时没有右臂下半部分，但他从未让这阻止他实现他一生中想要实现的任何目标，包括足球。“我必须有钢铁般的头脑，金子般的心，无论如何都要勇往直前。”摩尔说)”和第三段中“But in everything he does, he’s worked twice as hard as everyone else to make sure he would succeed.(但在他所做的每件事上，他都比其他人付出了两倍的努力，以确保他能成功)”可知，摩尔是通过加倍的努力来实现他的目标。故答案为：By working hard. / By training hard. / With perseverance./ With hard work. 【52题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段中“After seeing a video of Moore playing football, Kelce sent him one back. Kelce told Moore that his perseverance is a great encouragement to him. He even invited Moore to join him and the Eagles at their training camp so they could meet him.(在看到摩尔踢足球的视频后，凯尔丝给他发了一个视频。凯尔斯告诉摩尔，他的毅力对他来说是一个很大的鼓励。他甚至邀请摩尔加入他和老鹰队的训练营，这样他们就能见到他了)”可知，杰森·凯尔斯看完摩尔的表演后给他发了一段视频，被他的毅力所鼓舞，赞扬了他的毅力，并邀请摩尔参加训练营一起训练。故答案为：Kelce sent him a video, praised his perseverance, and invited him to training camp. / Kelce was inspired by his perseverance and invited him to train with him. 考查词义猜测。根据划线词下文摩尔的教练弗兰克·霍姆斯的话“The thing I can say about Colin is this: he was born with a challenging situation, but every day he has a positive attitude and focuses fully on whatever he does. He trains hard.(关于科林，我能说的是：他出生在一个充满挑战的环境中，但他每天都有积极的态度，完全专注于他所做的一切。他刻苦训练)”可知，这是教练弗兰克·霍姆斯对科林·摩尔的赞美之词，赞美了摩尔的毅力。故划线词compliments是指“赞美”，与praises, admires, appreciates, respects, applauds和honors等词同义。故答案为：Praises./ Admires. /Appreciates./ Respects./ Applauds./ Honors. 【53题详解】 考查推理判断。文章讲述了一位名叫科林·摩尔的16岁足球运动员，尽管天生缺失右臂下半部分，但他从不放弃，凭借坚定的意志和努力，成功在足球场上脱颖而出的故事。摩尔的故事让我明白要不畏挑战，坚持不懈，努力实现自己的目标。故答案为：Moore’s story inspires me to persevere despite challenges and work hard to achieve my goals. 第二节：书面表达（共1题，满分25分） 55. 假设你是晨光中学的李津，你校交换生Chris正在策划“Approaching Chinese Students”栏目，用短视频介绍中国学生校园生活，为此咨询你的意见。请你给他写一封邮件，推荐一个拍摄场景。内容包括： (1)推荐拍摄场景(如升旗仪式、午餐时间、社团活动、体育运动等); (2)陈述推荐理由; (3)表达祝愿。 参考词汇： 升旗仪式 flag-raising ceremony 社团活动 club activities 注意： (1)词数不少于 100; (2)可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯; (3)开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Chris, I hope you are doing well. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Jin 【答案】 Dear Chris, I hope you are doing well.

I never considered myself an athlete at all as I was very uncoordinated (不协调的). However, I did love to run because I felt as if I was flying, but this all changed two years ago when I suffered a knee injury. I was bedridden for two weeks and I had a difficult time moving even short distances. I literally cried myself on my way to the car for a few days. When therapy wasn’t working well for me, I signed up for a hot yoga class for girls, Bikram Yoga to be exact. Starting a yoga practice was truly a godsend because it helped me gain strength in my knees but, most importantly, yoga helped me attain a more peaceful state of mind, body and spirit. Since each class was heated to 105 F, every time I set foot in the yoga studio, I’d feel a surge (涌起) of negative thoughts come upon me like a big ocean wave. Some of these thoughts were, in the beginning of my practice, so strong that I walked out of the class several times, However, as the months passed by, I noticed that when I didn’t get swayed away by my negative thoughts, I could stay in the hot room for longer. After 3-4 months of practicing hot yoga, my arms and legs were beginning to get definition. I also woke up with so much more energy than I had before starting my yoga practice and I gradually started shedding the pounds from my body. Yoga literally made me feel as if I’d taken a shot of energy drink and just gave me that burst that helped my knees heal and made my overall health better. As I saw some of my classmates do poses that looked appealing to me, I started to think maybe I could do them too. Therefore, yoga helped show me that I have no real limitations physically unless I set those limitations myself through eating junk and thinking in negative limiting terms. Also, practicing yoga in front of a mirror helped me connect with myself and practicing with a group of people really helped me to feel a greater sense of connection with humanity whereas before I didn’t. Overall, this yoga practice has helped me to see I’m part of a bigger picture in life! 40. What once depressed the author terribly? A. Her inability to walk B. Her being uncoordinated. C.

To share with readers her experience in taking yoga classes. The robots are coming! In science fiction that is usually a ominous warning. But in the real world, it is a prediction — and a welcome one. The field of robotics has made impressive progress in the past year, as researchers have applied advances in artificial intelligence (AI) to machines, which gives robots of all kinds a dramatic brain upgrade. The latest advances in robotics will bring real and substantial benefits. One is that new “multimoda” AI models combine understanding of language and vision with data from robotic sensors and actuators. This makes it possible to deal with robots using ordinary words. You can ask a robot what it is able to see or tell it to “pick up the yellow fruit”. Such models in effect give robots a degree of common sense — in this case, knowing that a nearby banana is a kind of yellow fruit. And like a chatbot, a robot can be told to change its behaviour simply by changing a text prompt, something that would previously have required complex reprogramming. Another benefit is that robots are getting better at learning quickly through imitation and at applying one skill to another. This opens the door for robots to move out of factories and storehouses. Several companies and research groups are using the latest AI models to build human-like robots, which could cook, clean, and care for the aged and the needy. Advanced economies will need more automation if they are to maintain their standards of living. South Korea, Japan and China are all in the top five countries with the most robots for each factory worker. It is no coincidence that they are also ageing rapidly. Without robots to help out, more people may have to work longer and retire later. In the coming years, attitudes could well change from fearing the arrival of robots to wishing that they would get here sooner. 45. What does the underlined word “ominous” in paragraph 1 mean? A.

But what makes him different than the rest, is that he’s playing without part of his arm. Moore was born without the lower part of his right arm, but he’s never let that stop him from achieving anything he’s put his mind to in his life, including football. “I’ve always had to have a mind of steel, heart of gold, and just move forward no matter what.” Moore said. Although his arm difference has never got in the way of anything, it’s been a challenge for him. But in everything he does, he’s worked twice as hard as everyone else to make sure he would succeed. Moore’s goal is to be a starting center, which requires a lot of body strength. Even though he is missing an arm, he makes up for it with his fast movements and strength, making him the perfect choice for this position. Moore looks up to the Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, and aims to be just like him one day. Moore’s hard work even got him noticed by his hero. After seeing a video of Moore playing football, Kelce sent him one back. Kelce told Moore that his perseverance is a great encouragement to him. He even invited Moore to join him and the Eagles at their training camp so they could meet him. Moore’s coach Frank Holmes agrees with Kelce and compliments Moore’s perseverance. “The thing I can say about Colin is this: he was born with a challenging situation, but every day he has a positive attitude and focuses fully on whatever he does. He trains hard.” 50. What makes Moore different from other athletes? (no more than 10 words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 51.
