A. mainly B. nearly C. finally D. simply 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C 4. A 5. D 6. A 7. B 8. C 9. A 10. D 【解析】 【导语】本文阐述友谊重要性及健康益处，分析维持友谊困难，提供结交新朋友建议，鼓励勇敢建立社交连接，享受友谊。 【1题详解】 句意：友谊建立在信任、尊重、共同的兴趣和经历之上，但建立或维持友谊并不总是容易的。 结合语境，友谊的维系需要共同的兴趣爱好和经历。interests“兴趣”最符合逻辑；abilities“能力”；gifts“礼物”；moods“情绪”均不符合“友谊的基础”这一语境。 【2题详解】 句意：你应该理解社交联系在你生活中的重要性，以及为建立终身友谊你可以做的事。 此处为宾语从句，从句缺少“do”的宾语，需用what引导，表示“你可以做的事”。what符合语法与语境；how“如何”；when“何时”；why“为何”均为关系副词，不能在从句中作宾语。 【3题详解】 句意：好朋友永远在你身边——无论发生什么，他们都是你可以依靠的人。 结合“Good friends are always there for you”可知，此处表达“依靠、依赖”的含义。depend on“依赖、依靠”符合语境；carry on“继续”；take on“承担”；hold on“坚持/别挂电话”均不符合句意。 【4题详解】 句意：研究甚至表明，拥有紧密社交联系的成年人患许多健康问题的风险更低，包括高血压和抑郁症。 根据后文“live longer than the others with fewer connections”可知，此处指“紧密的社交联系”能降低健康风险。close“紧密的”符合语境；common“普通的”；boring“无聊的”；weak“薄弱的”均不符合“降低健康风险”的逻辑。 【5题详解】 句意：事实上，研究发现，拥有有意义的关系和社会支持的老年人可能比那些联系较少的人活得更长。前文提到社交联系能降低健康风险，此处进一步用研究事实说明其益处。In fact“事实上”用于补充强调事实，符合语境；Instead“相反”；However“然而”表转折；In all“总共”表总结，均不贴合语境。 【6题详解】 句意：所以，友谊对你的身心都有好处是很明显的。 前文用多个研究事实证明了友谊的益处，因此此处表达“这是很明显的”。clear“明显的、清楚的”符合语境；proper“恰当的”；necessary“必要的”；basic“基础的”均不能体现“研究事实得出的结论显而易见”的含义。 【7题详解】 句意：你们可能因为生活或兴趣的变化而变得生疏。 前文提到“很多人觉得建立新友谊或维持友谊很难”，结合“changes in your lives or interests”可知，此处指朋友之间因变化而变得生疏。strange“生疏的”符合语境；deep“深厚的”；awful“糟糕的”；pleasant“愉快的”均不符合“维系友谊困难”的语境。 【8题详解】 句意：为了结识可能成为你朋友的新人，你必须去其他人聚集的地方。 根据后文“go to places where others are gathered”可知，此处表达“认识、遇见新朋友”的含义。meet“遇见、结识”符合语境；admire“钦佩”；notice“注意到”；mention“提及”均不符合“建立友谊的第一步”的逻辑。 【9题详解】 句意：你付出的努力越多，你成功的可能性就越大。 固定表达“The more..., the greater your possible success（越努力，成功的可能性越大）”符合语境。success“成功”符合语境；attention“注意力”；care“关心”；support“支持”均不符合“付出努力与结果的关系”。 【10题详解】 句意：你也可以简单地去邻居家，邀请他们一起玩。 前文提到了加入俱乐部、做志愿等方法，此处是更简单直接的方式。simply“简单地、仅仅”符合语境；mainly“主要地”；nearly“几乎”；finally“最终”均不能体现“简单直接的交友方式”。 二、阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并将选项填涂在答题卡相应的位置上。 A Totally Wild Hotel WHERE: Kenya, Africa WHY IT'S SPECIAL: Ever have the feeling you're being watched? That's because a giraffe might be at your hotel window! The hotel is home to about 10 Rothschild's giraffes that walk around the house.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇介绍肯尼亚特色旅游的说明文，介绍了当地的Totally Wild酒店、野生动物特色以及游客可以参与的活动项目。 【11题详解】 由“Ever have the feeling you're being watched? That’s because a giraffe might be at your hotel window!”可知，这家酒店的特别之处在于客人可能会在窗边看到长颈鹿。 【12题详解】 由“Bird-watch by Lake Nakuru, where thousands of bright pink flamingos get together each year.”可知，在纳库鲁湖可以观赏火烈鸟，进行观鸟活动。 【13题详解】 由“Go to see lions, zebras, leopards, and elephants in Maasai Park near the border with Tanzania.”可知，马赛公园位于坦桑尼亚边境附近。 B Do you know the sun’s warmth is a kind of useful energy? Want to try using it yourself? Let’s do a cool project—making a solar tower! You can try this project at home. You just need some tapes, a pin (别针), paper, three cans and two big thick books. Now, we’re going to build the solar tower. First, make a pinwheel (纸风车) with a piece of paper. In the second stage, cut off the tops and bottoms of the cans, place the cans on top of each other and stick them together. Next, use a pin to connect the pinwheel with the tower. Finally, put the can tower on top of the books, which are 5 cm apart from each other. So there’s a gap (间隔) at the bottom, allowing the air to enter the tower. Now, all we have to do is to set the whole thing near a window, where there’s direct sunlight. When the sun shines on the tower, it gets hot and warms the air in it. The warmer air moves upward through the tower and makes the pinwheel turn around as it passes by. Then cooler air comes in through the gap from the bottom of the tower, gets heated up, and rises, so the cycle goes on. This is how it works. How amazing! So next time you feel the warm sun on your face, remember that it’s more than just a nice feeling—sunlight is a powerful and useful source of energy. 14. Which step comes FIRST in building the solar tower? A. Connect the pinwheel to the tower. B. Make a pinwheel with paper. C. Stick the cans together. D. Place the tower on books. 15. Why do we leave a gap between the two books? A. To stop the tower from falling off. B. To stop the books from heating up. C. To make the air get into the tower. D. To make the air get out of the tower. 16. How does the air travel through the tower? (for warm air; for cold air) A. B. C. D. 17. Which is the correct order of the passage structure? A. ①Introduction→②Steps→③Materials→④Principle (原理) →⑤Conclusion B. ①Principle→②Materials→③Steps→④Conclusion→⑤Introduction C. ①Introduction→②Materials→③Steps→④Principle→⑤Conclusion D. ①Materials→②Introduction→③Steps→④Conclusion→⑤Principle 【答案】14. B 15. C 16. A 17. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一个名为“太阳能塔”的家庭小实验。文章按照“引入→材料→步骤→原理→总结”的结构，详细说明了如何用纸、罐子、书本等简单材料制作太阳能塔，并解释了其利用太阳能驱动空气循环使风车转动的工作原理。 【14题详解】 第三段明确指出步骤顺序：“First, make a pinwheel with a piece of paper”，“First”表明用一张纸做一个风车是第一步。 【15题详解】 第三段末尾提到：“there’s a gap at the bottom, allowing the air to enter the tower”，留间隔的目的是让空气进入塔内。 【16题详解】 第四段说明：“The warmer air moves upward through the tower”（暖空气向上）以及“cooler air comes in through the gap from the bottom”（冷空气从底部进入），即暖空气上升、冷空气从底部补充。 【17题详解】 全文结构：第一段为引入（Introduction），第二段为材料（Materials），第三段为步骤（Steps），第四段为原理（Principle），第五段为总结（Conclusion）。 C Charlotte Bauer has been ill since she was two years old. Her mother’s best friend, Katie Wade-Neser, wanted to celebrate Charlotte’s fifth birthday in a special way. “Charlotte is the daughter of my best friend. I’m just writing this and thinking about how sweet she is,” Katie wrote on the Internet. “Her fifth birthday is coming up, and I want the Bauer family to feel loved and supported. More than anything, I want them to know that Charlotte has touched many lives.” Katie asked each of her followers on the Internet to write Charlotte a birthday card. Inside, she required that they include an act of kindness that they perform (执行) in the name of Charlotte. On 23 May 2023, Katie brought over more than 130 letters and packages to Charlotte’s home. Charlotte’s mother, Jenna, said that the family opened the cards together and read them aloud to Charlotte. It took them weeks to go through them all. “We read every letter to her, and she makes happy sounds and smiles,” Jenna said. “You can see that she really loves and can feel the love. It really touches her and all of us.” Jenna especially was grateful for the acts of service that people had been performing for one another because of her daughter. “It’s been really special to see how much Charlotte has touched our lives and changed our hearts, and then to see the influence she has had on so many people,” Jenna said. “We have been changed by everyone who has reached out to us in love because of Charlotte. It’s just been an amazing thing to be a witness (见证).” 18. What did Katie ask her followers to write on Charlotte’s birthday card? A. Sweet birthday greetings for Charlotte’s fifth birthday. B.

Charlotte’s influence on her family and others. D. The power of social media in connecting people. 21. What can we learn from Charlotte’s birthday story? A. Kindness can bring people warmth. B. Birthdays need expensive gifts. C. Social media is not useful. D. Friends must meet on birthdays. 【答案】18. C 19. D 20. C 21. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Charlotte Bauer自幼患病，她母亲的好朋友Katie为了庆祝Charlotte的五岁生日，发起了一项特别的活动，邀请网友给Charlotte写生日卡片，并在卡片中承诺以Charlotte的名义做一件善事。这一举动不仅让Charlotte一家感受到了爱，也见证了Charlotte对他人的积极影响。 【18题详解】 根据第三段“Inside, she required that they include an act of kindness that they perform in the name of Charlotte.”可知，Katie要求卡片中包含以Charlotte的名义所做的善举，即“一项以Charlotte的名义执行的善举”。 【19题详解】 根据第四段“Charlotte’s mother, Jenna, said that the family opened the cards together and read them aloud to Charlotte.”可知，Charlotte的母亲Jenna说，家人们一起打开卡片，并大声读给Charlotte听。 【20题详解】 文章虽然围绕Charlotte的五岁生日庆祝展开，但第二段提到Katie希望家人知道Charlotte触动了许多人的生命，最后一段Jenna也感叹看到她对这么多人的影响。文章的核心在于通过生日活动展现Charlotte对家人及他人的深远影响，而不仅仅是生日庆祝本身。 【21题详解】 通读全文可知，Katie发起活动，网友们响应并做出善举，这些行为让生病的Charlotte及其家人感受到了爱和支持，同时也温暖了参与者的心。这说明善意能给人们带来温暖。 D Music is beauty in sounds. Why not make your own music with the help of AI? Artificial intelligence (AI) can do many different things. From controlling the lights in our homes to helping us order pizzas, it seems there aren’t many more uses for AI than we already have. However, can AI make music like human beings? Thanks to a team of Swiss scientists, AI may soon be able to come up with music especially for us. Researchers at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland have created a computer algorithm (算法), the “Deep Artificial composer” (DAC), which can create original music all by itself. Florian Colombo, an EPFL scientist who helped create the DAC, said that AI could produce complete melodies (旋律), with a beginning and an end. At present, the DAC is only able to produce several pieces of traditional Irish folk music, but it’s hoped that it will be able to create songs based on any type of music in the end. To “teach” the DAC, the scientists trained it to “listen” to over 2,000 different folk songs. Based on this input (输入), the AI taught itself how to compose music, from getting the pitch (音高) and timing right, to choosing the right notes. This process is still in its early stages, with the DAC still not producing perfect results, but Colombo told AFP that the AI’s music is still “quite pleasant to listen to.” While the idea sounds very hopeful, we shouldn’t expect the DAC to replace real-life composers any time soon. According to Colombo, the system was designed to produce only simple melodies. So far, it can only create songs based on a single instrument. Colombo said that his purpose in creating the DAC was to help people create their own music, not to have it made for them. His exciting new ideas came from Austrian composer Wolfgang Mozart. It’s said that he used to throw dice (掷骰子) to help him pick which notes to use when making new music. “A good composer with creative ideas will never be replaced by an algorithm.” Colombo told AFP. 22. How does the writer begin the passage? A. By sharing different ideas on AI. B. By explaining the meaning of AI. C. By showing the development of AI. D. By presenting the advantages of AI. 23. Why does Colombo mention Austrian composer Wolfgang Mozart? A. To express his respect for Mozart. B. To present his achievement on AI music. C. To praise Mozart’s contribution to music. D. To explain his purpose in creating the DAC. 24. What can we learn about the DAC from the passage? A. The DAC was refused by some composers. B. The DAC can’t be used instead of real-life composers. C. Music creation has to depend on the DAC. D. Scientists are amazed at music made by the DAC. 25. Which can be a suitable title for the passage? A. AI is Changing Music Creation B. AI Composers VS Human Composers C. How AI Replaces Human Composers D. Colombo Helped Create the DAC 【答案】22. A 23. D 24. B 25. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了瑞士科学家开发的“深度人工作曲家”（DAC）算法，该算法能够自主创作音乐，虽然目前只能创作简单的爱尔兰民间音乐，但未来有望基于任何类型的音乐进行创作，同时强调AI不会取代人类作曲家。 【22题详解】 第一段以“Music is beauty in sounds. Why not make your own music with the help of AI?”开篇，接着第二段列举AI的多种用途（控制灯光、帮忙订披萨等），引出AI能否像人类一样创作音乐的问题。因此作者通过分享AI的不同用途来引入话题。 【23题详解】 倒数第二段指出：“Colombo said that his purpose in creating the DAC was to help people create their own music, not to have it made for them. His exciting new ideas came from Austrian composer Wolfgang Mozart.”，说明Colombo提到莫扎特是为了解释他创建DAC的目的——莫扎特曾用掷骰子的方式帮助选择音符，这启发了Colombo。 【24题详解】 倒数第三段指出：“we shouldn’t expect the DAC to replace real-life composers any time soon.”，说明DAC无法取代现实生活中的作曲家，B项正确。 【25题详解】 全文围绕AI（DAC）如何自主创作音乐展开，介绍了DAC的工作原理、当前局限性和未来前景，因此“AI is Changing Music Creation”（AI正在改变音乐创作）最能概括文章主旨。 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。 Have your teachers ever visited your home? Home visits used to be a key way for teachers and families to communicate. ____26____ A recent survey in Zhejiang Province found that 85.5 per cent of 6,200 parents don’t like teachers visiting their homes, CCTV reported. ____27____ Some parents have a strong sense of privacy (隐私), while others find the preparation work tiring. For busy teachers, visiting all their students’ homes can take up too much of their energy and time, too. To solve the problem, schools and teachers in China are trying new ways to communicate. ____28____ During these meetings, teachers give a 30-minute summary (总结) and then have one-on-one meetings with each parent for 15-20 minutes. This makes communication clearer and focuses more on what’s truly important. Wang’s school has also set up a parent classroom. ____29____ This programme shows the importance of a peaceful home environment for children and develops stronger relationships between the school and families. Other schools are also trying new ideas. These include meeting in public places like cafés or tearooms. What’s more, Shanghai Municipal Kindergarten asks parents first. ____30____ This method results in “full communication and understanding between home and school”, a parent told The Paper. A. For example, Wang Hongjun, a principal in Shenzhen, holds parent-teacher meetings twice each semester (学期) instead of once. B. Teachers often feel nervous when talking with parents face to face. C. There are several reasons for this. D. Parents certainly say no to home visits. E. It offers group activities and book clubs to support parents’ development. F. But traditional visits are now less welcome. G. If they agree, home visits will take place; if not, communication will happen online. 【答案】26. F 27. C 28. A 29. E 30. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了传统家访不再受欢迎的原因，以及学校和教师尝试的新型家校沟通方式。 【26题详解】 上文说家访曾经是家校沟通的重要方式，下文说浙江一项调查显示85.5%的家长不喜欢老师家访，因此此处应说明传统家访如今不再受欢迎。F项“But traditional visits are now less welcome.”与上文构成转折关系，自然引出下文的调查数据。 【27题详解】 上文说家长不喜欢家访，下文具体解释原因（有些家长注重隐私、准备工作麻烦、老师时间精力有限），因此此处应总起说明存在多个原因。C项“There are several reasons for this.”中的“this”指代上文家长不喜欢家访这一现象，起到承上启下的总结作用。 【28题详解】 上文说学校和老师正在尝试新的沟通方式，下文以王校长为例介绍家长会的具体做法（30分钟总结加15-20分钟一对一谈话），因此此处应引出具体例子。A项“For example, Wang Hongjun, a principal in Shenzhen, holds parent-teacher meetings twice each semester instead of once.”与上文构成例证关系，为下文的具体做法说明做铺垫。 【29题详解】 上文说王校长所在学校设立了家长课堂，下文介绍该项目的作用（展示家庭环境的重要性、发展家校关系），因此此处应补充说明家长课堂的具体内容。E项“It offers group activities and book clubs to support parents’ development.”中的“It”指代上文的“parent classroom”，具体说明其活动形式，与下文的作用描述形成逻辑衔接。 【30题详解】 上文说上海市幼儿园先询问家长的意见，下文引用家长的话说“这实现了家校之间的充分沟通和理解”，因此此处应说明询问意见后的两种不同处理方式。G项“If they agree, home visits will take place; if not, communication will happen online.”与上文“asks parents first”构成条件分支关系，自然引出下文的积极评价。 四、词汇运用(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首字母，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. S________ we wanted to help children in poor areas, our school organized a charity fair to raise money last Friday. 【答案】 Since##ince 【解析】 【详解】句意：由于我们想帮助贫困地区的孩子，我们学校上周五组织了一场慈善义卖会来筹集资金。“our school organized a charity fair to raise money last Friday”的原因是“we wanted to help children in poor areas”，结合首字母提示可知，此处since符合语境，意为“由于”，表示原因。 32. This kind of meaningful activity was widely ________ (支持) by parents and students, and hundreds of people joined us that day. 【答案】 supported 【解析】 【详解】句意：这种有意义的活动得到了家长和学生的广泛支持，那天有数百人加入了我们。根据中文提示可知，“支持”对应的英文是support。由句中“was widely … by”可知，此处为一般过去时的被动语态（was + 过去分词），故应填support的过去分词supported。 33. Each class had a five- ________ (平方的)-meter space to sell books, toys and handicrafts. 【答案】square 【解析】 【详解】句意：每个班级都有一个五平方米的空间来售卖书籍、玩具和手工艺品。括号内提示“平方的”，对应的单词是square，因此填square。 34. When we arrived early in the morning, we got everything ready and used some c________ to record the activity. 【答案】 cameras##ameras 【解析】 【详解】句意：当我们一大早到达时，我们把一切都准备好了，并用一些相机来记录这项活动。根据“to record the activity”和首字母提示，camera符合语境，意为“相机”，是可数名词，some修饰可数名词复数，camera的复数形式是cameras。 35. We were very busy and excited, and we didn’t realize the time was r________ out until the sun went down. 【答案】 running##unning 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们又忙又兴奋，直到太阳下山才意识到时间快用完了。根据句意和首字母提示，此处表示“（时间）耗尽”，run out是固定短语，意为“用完、耗尽”。句子中使用了过去进行时was/were+doing，因此run需变为-ing形式running。 36. Everyone worked hard together and ________ (成功) in raising enough money． 【答案】succeeded 【解析】 【详解】句意：大家一起努力工作，并成功地筹集了足够的资金。“成功”用succeed表达，succeed in doing sth.意为“成功做成某事”，and连接的是并列成分，根据动词“worked”可知，句子是一般过去时，此处也要用动词的过去式，succeed的过去式是succeeded。 37. When we handed the money to the school, we saw a bright ________ (微笑) on everyone’s face. 【答案】 smile 【解析】 【详解】句意：当我们把钱交给学校时，我们看到每个人脸上都露出了灿烂的微笑。根据中文提示可知，“微笑”对应的英文是smile，是名词。此处前有不定冠词a和形容词bright修饰，需填入单数名词形式，作动词saw的宾语，故填smile。 38. All of us felt that the experience was well w________ having, although we were a bit tired. 【答案】 worth##orth 【解析】 【详解】句意：尽管我们有点累，但我们都觉得这次经历非常值得拥有。根据句意和首字母提示可知，此处考查固定短语be worth doing sth.，意为“值得做某事”。 B) 请阅读下面短文，将方框中单词或短语的正确形式填入答题卡标有题号的横线上。每空格限填一个单词或短语，每个单词或短语只能填一次。 instead of develop force knowledge pick The separation of arts and science in Chinese high schools began in the 1950s.

This book and culture sharing, which can touch people's hearts and turn textbooks ____53____ a bridge between Chinese people and different countries, is care across mountains and seas, love passed down through years, and deep love for our country in small details. 【答案】44. places 45. them 46. first 47. warmth 48. Looking 49. a 50. hidden 51. reached 52. but 53. into 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了中国游客在海外旅行时分享课本的现象，阐述这种跨越山海的文化分享不仅传递温暖，也搭建起中外文化交流的桥梁。 【44题详解】 句意：当他们到达著名景点时，会把书藏在安静的角落。famous后接名词复数表示“多个景点”，place的复数形式为places。 【45题详解】 句意：他们中的一些人会藏起带有金字塔图片的初中历史课本或印有伦敦塔桥封面的高中英语课本。介词of后面的代词需要使用宾格形式，they的宾格是them，构成“some of them”的结构，表示“他们中的一些人”。 【46题详解】 句意：其他人还会在第一页放上小礼物和暖心留言。 表示顺序的“第几页”时，需要用序数词，one对应的序数词是first，“on the first page”即“在第一页”。 【47题详解】 句意：陌生人在异国他乡以书为媒介相互理解，为孤独的旅程带来意想不到的温暖。 形容词unexpected后面通常接名词，用来作bring的宾语。warm的名词形式是warmth，意为“温暖”。 【48题详解】 句意：寻找这些书就像一场寻宝游戏。 句子缺少主语，动词原形不能作主语，需要变为动名词形式，因此look变为Looking（句首首字母大写）。 【49题详解】 句意：寻找这些书就像一场寻宝游戏。 treasure是以辅音音素开头的单词，此处表示“一场”寻宝游戏，是泛指，因此用不定冠词a。 【50题详解】 句意：你永远不知道下一本书藏在哪里，会带来什么信息，或者会和陌生人产生怎样的联结。 主语the next book和动词hide之间是被动关系，即“书被藏起来”，因此要用被动语态，hide的过去分词是hidden。 【51题详解】 句意：有人说，我们已经长大，抵达了课本里的远方。 and连接的两个动作时态要保持一致，前面的“have grown up”是现在完成时，后面的reach也应使用现在完成时，过去分词是reached。 【52题详解】 句意：我们不仅实现了儿时的梦想，也向世界传播了中国文化之美。 固定搭配“not only…but also…”表示递进关系，意为“不仅……而且……”，因此填but。 【53题详解】 句意：这种书籍与文化分享，能触动人心，将课本转化为中外人民之间的桥梁。 固定搭配“turn…into…”表示“把……变成……”，因此填into。 六、阅读表达(共3小题；54小题2分、55小题2分、56小题3分，满分7分) 阅读下面的短文，用英语回答问题，并将答案写在答题卡标有题号的横线上。 “Imagine that your home is on fire now. You’re only allowed to save one thing. Your family and pets are safe, so don’t worry about them. What is the most important thing you want to save? It can be anything in any size.” Linda Sue Park wrote a book called The One Thing You’d Save. In it, a teacher named Ms Chang invites her students to think of the question above. She wants to challenge her class to name the most important thing to them. Some students know the answer right away. Others come to their decisions much more slowly. And some students finally change their minds when they hear their classmates’ answers. As for the answers, some choose baseball cards or toy animals. One student among them picks a sweater that has been passed down in his family for generations (几代人). Another student chooses a box which holds a lot of memories of his childhood. Even Ms Chang shares with the students her own choice in the end. It is a really thought-provoking (引人深思的) question. As the students are trying to answer it, they discover more about one another and also about themselves. The book is a collection of poems. The writer tells the story through narrative (故事体的) poems. What makes the book so popular is that it leads people to think deeply. The book uses black-and-white pictures to show the objects the students choose. When seeing the pictures, the readers may think of scenes of their homes, the classroom, the communities they live in and more. The pictures offer wordless moments that encourage readers to think more before they move on. Want to know what matters most to the students? Please read this book. 54.

That's because a giraffe might be at your hotel window! The hotel is home to about 10 Rothschild's giraffes that walk around the house. Some of the giraffes may stick their heads into your bedroom window or eat right off the breakfast table. Mpingo and Olerai, two of the youngest giraffes, are sometimes seen playfully running through the national park next to the hotel. THINGS TO DO IN KENYA Cheer on camels—some running the wrong way—at the Camel Derby (比赛) in the town of Maralal. Go to see lions, zebras, leopards, and elephants in Maasai Park near the border (边境)with Tanzania. Bird-watch by Lake Nakuru, where thousands of bright pink flamingos (火烈鸟)get together each year. Walk through historic Lamu Old Town to see 700-year-old houses made partly of coral stone. 11. What is special about the Totally Wild Hotel in Kenya? A. It is in the middle of Texas. B. It has 700-year-old coral stone houses. C. It is the same size as the state of Texas. D. Guests may see giraffes at the hotel window. 12. Which activity can you do if you visit Lake Nakuru? A. Watch camels running in a race. B. Walk through old coral stone houses. C. Bird-watch pink flamingos. D. See elephants covering themselves in red soil. 13. What can we learn from the passage? A.

The elephants in Tsavo East National Park have red skin. B Do you know the sun’s warmth is a kind of useful energy? Want to try using it yourself? Let’s do a cool project—making a solar tower! You can try this project at home. You just need some tapes, a pin (别针), paper, three cans and two big thick books. Now, we’re going to build the solar tower. First, make a pinwheel (纸风车) with a piece of paper. In the second stage, cut off the tops and bottoms of the cans, place the cans on top of each other and stick them together. Next, use a pin to connect the pinwheel with the tower. Finally, put the can tower on top of the books, which are 5 cm apart from each other. So there’s a gap (间隔) at the bottom, allowing the air to enter the tower. Now, all we have to do is to set the whole thing near a window, where there’s direct sunlight. When the sun shines on the tower, it gets hot and warms the air in it. The warmer air moves upward through the tower and makes the pinwheel turn around as it passes by. Then cooler air comes in through the gap from the bottom of the tower, gets heated up, and rises, so the cycle goes on. This is how it works. How amazing! So next time you feel the warm sun on your face, remember that it’s more than just a nice feeling—sunlight is a powerful and useful source of energy. 14. Which step comes FIRST in building the solar tower? A. Connect the pinwheel to the tower. B. Make a pinwheel with paper. C. Stick the cans together. D. Place the tower on books. 15. Why do we leave a gap between the two books? A. To stop the tower from falling off. B. To stop the books from heating up. C. To make the air get into the tower. D. To make the air get out of the tower. 16. How does the air travel through the tower? (for warm air; for cold air) A. B. C. D. 17. Which is the correct order of the passage structure?

Her mother’s best friend, Katie Wade-Neser, wanted to celebrate Charlotte’s fifth birthday in a special way. “Charlotte is the daughter of my best friend. I’m just writing this and thinking about how sweet she is,” Katie wrote on the Internet. “Her fifth birthday is coming up, and I want the Bauer family to feel loved and supported. More than anything, I want them to know that Charlotte has touched many lives.” Katie asked each of her followers on the Internet to write Charlotte a birthday card.

Artificial intelligence (AI) can do many different things. From controlling the lights in our homes to helping us order pizzas, it seems there aren’t many more uses for AI than we already have. However, can AI make music like human beings? Thanks to a team of Swiss scientists, AI may soon be able to come up with music especially for us. Researchers at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland have created a computer algorithm (算法), the “Deep Artificial composer” (DAC), which can create original music all by itself. Florian Colombo, an EPFL scientist who helped create the DAC, said that AI could produce complete melodies (旋律), with a beginning and an end. At present, the DAC is only able to produce several pieces of traditional Irish folk music, but it’s hoped that it will be able to create songs based on any type of music in the end. To “teach” the DAC, the scientists trained it to “listen” to over 2,000 different folk songs. Based on this input (输入), the AI taught itself how to compose music, from getting the pitch (音高) and timing right, to choosing the right notes. This process is still in its early stages, with the DAC still not producing perfect results, but Colombo told AFP that the AI’s music is still “quite pleasant to listen to.” While the idea sounds very hopeful, we shouldn’t expect the DAC to replace real-life composers any time soon. According to Colombo, the system was designed to produce only simple melodies. So far, it can only create songs based on a single instrument. Colombo said that his purpose in creating the DAC was to help people create their own music, not to have it made for them. His exciting new ideas came from Austrian composer Wolfgang Mozart. It’s said that he used to throw dice (掷骰子) to help him pick which notes to use when making new music. “A good composer with creative ideas will never be replaced by an algorithm.” Colombo told AFP. 22. How does the writer begin the passage? A. By sharing different ideas on AI. B. By explaining the meaning of AI. C. By showing the development of AI. D. By presenting the advantages of AI. 23. Why does Colombo mention Austrian composer Wolfgang Mozart? A. To express his respect for Mozart. B. To present his achievement on AI music. C. To praise Mozart’s contribution to music. D. To explain his purpose in creating the DAC. 24. What can we learn about the DAC from the passage? A. The DAC was refused by some composers. B. The DAC can’t be used instead of real-life composers. C. Music creation has to depend on the DAC. D. Scientists are amazed at music made by the DAC. 25. Which can be a suitable title for the passage? A. AI is Changing Music Creation B. AI Composers VS Human Composers C. How AI Replaces Human Composers D. Colombo Helped Create the DAC 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。 Have your teachers ever visited your home?
