The best way to see the Scottish Highlands is by train, where you can take in the rolling hills and mystical lochs (湖) from the comfort of your seat. Here are the most popular routes to exploring the Scottish Highlands by train: Loch Ness: 3 hours, 18 minutes by train For those seeking out the legendary Loch Ness monster, Inverness is the closest train station to the famous loch. From the station, travelers can take a bus or taxi to Fort Augustus and board a boat tour to try to spot the creature. As Scotland’s second-largest loch, Loch Ness is a great place to fish or kayak. Fort William and Mallaig: over 5 hours by train Although a long train ride, the trip from Edinburgh to Mallaig, a charming fishing village, is worth it. This route offers some of the best scenery in the world. Travelers can board the 19th-century-inspired Jacobite Steam Train and wind past charming villages, the Morar River and beaches. Ben Nevis: over 5 hours by train Ben Nevis is an ancient volcano that exploded and collapsed on itself to become the tallest mountain in the British Isles. Travelers can take the train to Fort William, a town offering castles, and rugged coastlines along the West Highlands Peninsula. The town is also known as the “Outdoor Capital” of Scotland, so thrill-seekers can go skiing and hiking to their heart’s desire. 1. What can travelers do at Loch Ness? A. Explore the area on foot. B. Discover hidden villages. C. Take a kayaking adventure. D. Take a guided tour of castles. 2. What makes the route to Mallaig special? A. It allows visitors to hike. B. Its duration is relatively short. C. It has a mysterious creature in the village. D. It offers some of the world’s best scenery. 3. What is the author’s purpose of writing this text? A. To describe some historical places. B. To show popular train routes. C. To highlight the convenience of trains. D. To suggest some adventurous activities. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3.

Now married, 85 and 86-year-old Gill and John live in York. It's a far cry from the lonely days when Gill and John were widowed after 47 and nearly 50 years. John was in “a black hole” when a friend told him about a dating site for the elderly. Meanwhile, Gill was also feeling down and researching such dating sites. “Opportunities to meet a partner close down as you get older. Meeting online makes sense when you want to find some one with similar interests,” explain sretired Gill. They both took a leap of faith and joined Wrinklies Connection.com. Gill admits, “I was scared to death. I didn't even tell my family at first.” John needed help from his grandson, Mitchell. “I ‘waved’ back to ladies who responded to my profile, but they thought I was waving goodbye and showing that I did not want to pursue contact!” A week or so later, he saw Gill's profile and recalls, “Gill's photo was very attractive and she described an active, interesting life.” Gill was drawn to John because “We are both people who enjoy the outdoor life.” In June 2016, they met for coffee and Gill remembers, “John had an easy manner and lovely smile. I found him handsome with a lovely crop of hair!” John found Gill similarly attractive, genuine and easy to talk to. They began to meet regularly and text every day. Gill laughs, “We have the same sense of humour. My elder son said we were just like a pair of giddy teenagers!” Happily, they became engaged at snowdrop time and Gills’ sons, Andrew and Julian, walked her down the aisle on April 22, 2017 with 250 delighted friends and family sharing the celebration. “We are immensely grateful to Wrinklies Connections for the joy it has brought us,” says Gill. John adds, “We never thought we would be internet dating in our late seventies. Now I say that life begins at 78!” 4. What led Gill and John to join Wrinklies Connection.com? A.

John was in “a black hole” when a friend told him about a dating site for the elderly. Meanwhile, Gill was also feeling down and researching such dating sites. (这与吉尔和约翰在47年和近50年丧偶时的孤独日子相去甚远。当一个朋友告诉约翰一个老年人约会网站时，他陷入了“黑洞”。与此同时，吉尔也很沮丧，正在研究这样的约会网站。)”可知吉尔和约翰想要加入Wrinklies Connection.com，是因为他们都丧偶了很长时间，所以非常孤独，故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““I ‘waved’ back to ladies who responded to my profile, but they thought I was waving goodbye and showing that I did not want to pursue contact!” (“我对回复我个人资料的女士们‘挥手’回应，但她们认为我是在挥手告别，表明我不想继续交往!” )”可知那些对翰的个人资料感兴趣的女士，约翰用的wave(挥手)问候的，故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In June 2016, they met for coffee and Gill remembers, “John had an easy manner and lovely smile. I found him handsome with a lovely crop of hair!” John found Gill similarly attractive, genuine and easy to talk to. (2016年6月，他们见面喝咖啡，吉尔回忆说：“约翰态度随和，微笑可爱。我发现他长得很帅，一头可爱的短发!”约翰发现吉尔同样有魅力、真诚、容易交谈。)” 可知第一次见面时吉尔对约翰的印象随和友好，故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通断全文，尤其第一段“They had a combined age of 155 years when they took the p lunge into internet dating.

But archaeologists have now been able to reveal some of the ancient text with the help of artificial intelligence. Discovered in the ruins of a villa, the Herculaneum scrolls are a collection of around1,000 scrolls, along with other relics. In earlier times, many people tried to unlock the secrets of scrolls but in vain, mainly because most of them were fragile (易碎的) and would shatter into pieces if unrolled. Until now, the only way to read what's inside the scrolls is to put together the thousands of pieces, which may take 500 years to reveal their content. Fortunately, a team led by professor Seales had already pioneered a way to “virtually unwrap” an ancient scroll using X-ray tomography (断层成像技术). But that was not enough to read the barely visible ink on the ancient documents. The chemistry of the ink from the ancient world is different than the chemistry from medieval times. It's largely invisible to the naked eye even when caught by the X-ray. In 2019, they did come up with a solution based on artificial intelligence to “see” the ink, but it needed much data. So they launched the Vesuvius Challenge to accelerate the work and released software and thousands of 3D X-ray images of pieces and two rolled-up scrolls, in the hope that global research groups would take up the challenge. In the end, a team of three students shared the grand prize. They could read 2,000letters from the scroll after training machine-learning algorithms on the scans. After creating a 3D scan of the text using a CT scan, the scroll was then separated into segments. A machine learning model—an application of AI—then detected the inked regions, allowing them to decipher the text. Mastro, a professor at Naples’ University, called the technique “revolutionary.” “We worked literally day and night to study them, but I am more excited that using this method we can reveal what has been hidden in the scrolls for almost 2,000 years,” said Mastro. 8. What issue was resolved with X-ray tomography? A. The fragile nature of the scrolls. B. Putting together divided pieces. C. Showing the scrolls without opening it. D. The difficulty in understanding ancient languages. 9. How did AI function in processing the scrolls? A. By unwrapping the scrolls. B. By analyzing the chemistry. C. By separating them with relics. D. By detecting the barely visible ink. 10. What does the underlined word “decipher” mean in paragraph 5? A. Adapt. B. Summarize. C. Arrange. D. Interpret. 11. What is the passage mainly about? A. Scrolls promote technological revolution. B. AI advanced the way to read ancient scrolls. C. New technology discovered relics in Vesuvius. D. Hidden secrets are recorded by archaeologists. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人们利用人工智能来阅读古卷轴，解释了其具体的操作过程。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In earlier times, many people tried to unlock the secrets of scrolls but in vain, mainly because most of them were fragile (易碎的) and would shatter into pieces if unrolled.(早些时候，许多人试图解开卷轴的秘密，但都是徒劳的，主要是因为大多数卷轴都很脆弱，一旦展开就会碎成碎片)”以及第三段“Fortunately, a team led by professor Seales had already pioneered a way to “virtually unwrap” an ancient scroll using X-ray tomography (断层成像技术).(幸运的是，由Seales教授领导的一个团队已经开创了一种使用X射线断层扫描“虚拟打开”古代卷轴的方法)”可知，X射线断层扫描解决了不打开就可以展示卷轴的问题。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Fortunately, a team led by professor Seales had already pioneered a way to “virtually unwrap” an ancient scroll using X-ray tomography (断层成像技术). But that was not enough to read the barely visible ink on the ancient documents.(幸运的是，由Seales教授领导的一个团队已经开创了一种使用X射线断层扫描“几乎打开”古代卷轴的方法。但这还不足以阅读古代文献上几乎看不见的墨水)”以及第四段“In 2019, they did come up with a solution based on artificial intelligence to “see” the ink, but it needed much data.(2019年，他们确实提出了一种基于人工智能的解决方案来“看到”墨水，但它需要大量数据)”可知，AI通过检测几乎看不见的墨水来处理卷轴。故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“They could read 2,000letters from the scroll after training machine-learning algorithms on the scans.(在扫描上训练机器学习算法后，他们可以从卷轴上读出2000个字母)”以及“A machine learning model—an application of AI—then detected the inked regions, allowing them to”可知，一种人工智能的应用检测到有墨水的区域，从而使它们能够翻译文本，故划线词意思是“翻译”，与Interpret意义相近。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Mastro, a professor at Naples’ University, called the technique “revolutionary.” “We worked literally day and night to study them, but I am more excited that using this method we can reveal what has been hidden in the scrolls for almost 2,000 years,” said Mastro.( 那不勒斯大学教授马斯特罗称这项技术是“革命性的”。马斯特罗说：“我们夜以继日地研究它们，但更让我兴奋的是，通过这种方法，我们可以揭示隐藏在卷轴中近2000年的东西。”)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要说明了人们利用人工智能来阅读古卷轴，解释了其具体的操作过程，由此可知，这篇文章主要讲的是人工智能改进了阅读古卷轴的方式。故选B。 D It’s one of the most common questions adults ask children: what do you want to be when you grow up? Although childhood is supposed to be fun, kids also discuss important topics regarding their futures. Now, a new study finds that children who set big goals regarding their future status and education often set themselves up for success as they age. The findings, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, are the first to reveal a connection between life goal development and future success in school or the workplace. Rodica Damian, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Houston, and other researchers discovered that as children grow up, their goals naturally begin to change. However, as some childhood goals fall away, other goals related to a family stay strong. These include being close to relatives, building more friendships or finding a romantic partner, and even becoming more involved in the community or helping others. During the study, researchers compared how their goals evolved as children moved from adolescence to adulthood and how a person's goals impacted their success in school and as an employee later on. Overall, a child’s goals focusing on their education and future status were the most consistent predictors of income in adulthood. Simply, when a child dreams big about doing well in school or achieving great success as an adult, these goals accurately paint a picture of how successful these children will be. So, the message is simple: dream big and dream of success, kids! Those goals can drive you to success when you grow up! “Our work proves a strong connection between a child’s life goals, educational achievement, and future occupational outcomes. This information is valuable for parents and educators who can use it to encourage children to set ambitious goals. Additionally, it helps develop strategies to support individuals in achieving their goals and reaching their full potential,” Damian concludes. 12. What does the study mainly focus on? A. Why children change their dreams over time. B. Whether childhood goals re late to future success. C. How childhood education determines future career. D. What impact early experiences have on characters. 13. Which of the following goals remains strong as children grow up? A. Connecting with others. B. Achieving academic success. C. Hunting for a high-salary job. D. Improving personal social status. 14. What message does the author convey in paragraph 3? A. Future careers is determined by Childhood achievements. B. Childhood ambition is potentially connected with success. C. Setting small goals is more beneficial than dreaming big. D. Adjusting goals can create new opportunities for success. 15. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To summarize learning strategies. B. To offer suggestions for future studies. C. To stress the significance of the study. D. To point out the limitations of the study. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了一项研究发现，儿童设定的关于未来地位和教育的大目标往往会为他们成年后的成功奠定基础。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Now, a new study finds that children who set big goals regarding their future status and education often set themselves up for success as they age. (现在，一项新的研究发现，设定关于未来地位和教育的大目标的孩子，随着年龄的增长，往往会为自己的成功奠定基础。)”以及第二段中“The findings, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, are the first to reveal a connection between life goal development and future success in school or the workplace. (这项发表在《人格与社会心理学杂志》上的研究首次揭示了生活目标的发展与未来在学校或工作场所成功之间的联系。)” 可知，这项研究主要关注的是儿童时期的目标是否与未来的成功有关。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, as some childhood goals fall away, other goals related to a family stay strong. These include being close to relatives, building more friendships or finding a romantic partner, and even becoming more involved in the community or helping others. (然而，随着一些童年目标的消失，其他与家庭相关的目标依然强烈。这些目标包括与亲戚保持亲近，建立更多的友谊或找到一个浪漫的伴侣，甚至更多地参与社区活动或帮助他人。)”可知，随着孩子的成长，与他人建立联系的目标依然强烈。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“Overall, a child’s goals focusing on their education and future status were the most consistent predictors of income in adulthood. Simply, when a child dreams big about doing well in school or achieving great success as an adult, these goals accurately paint a picture of how successful these children will be.（总的来说，孩子们专注于教育和未来地位的目标是成年后收入的最一致预测因素。简单地说，当一个孩子梦想在学校表现出色或在成年后取得巨大成功时，这些目标准确地描绘了这些孩子将会多么成功。）”可知，作者在第三段传达的信息是，童年的雄心与成功潜在地相关。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““Our work proves a strong connection between a child’s life goals, educational achievement, and future occupational outcomes. This information is valuable for parents and educators who can use it to encourage children to set ambitious goals. Additionally, it helps develop strategies to support individuals in achieving their goals and reaching their full potential,” Damian concludes. (我们的工作证明了孩子的生活目标、教育成就和未来职业结果之间的强烈联系。这些信息对家长和教育者来说是有价值的，他们可以用它来鼓励孩子设定雄心勃勃的目标。此外，它有助于制定支持个人实现目标和发挥全部潜力的策略。)”可知，最后一段的目的是强调这项研究的重要性，故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 It is rightly said “Time and Tide wait for none”. But a number of people today have difficulty successfully managing time. ____16____ Now let’s take a look at a list of 4 skills you should master about time management. Set priorities. Write out all the tasks you need to get through for the day and then prioritize them in accordance with their level of significance. ____17____ Meanwhile, it also assists to guarantee that the most important things are done on time. ____18____ Certain activities, though seemingly harmless, significantly affect productivity. Instagram and Facebook, for instance, could easily consume hours that are better spent on studying or rest. To combat this, using time management tools that track how much time you spend online highlights areas for improvement. Do less. This is a trick from Leo Babauta, who started the blog Zen Habits. In his opinion, doing less doesn't mean “less is more”. It means “less is better”. ____19____ This is achieved by slowing down and concentrating only on those things. Once you do, make every action count. As a result, you'll be creating more value instead of just fodder. Relax at Appropriate Intervals. Control your performance over time by taking more pauses. According to Nathaniel Kleitman, a sleep scientist, “our brains naturally desire rest after every 90 minutes of hard activity.” Your mind will let you understand that you require a break when you start to feel sleepy, restless, hungry or lose concentration regardless of whether or not you have such a timer set. ____20____ Embrace these strategies, adapt them to your specific needs, and reclaim control over your time management. Your future self will thank you for it! A. Stay creative. B. Eliminate Time-wasters. C. Be aware of what needs to be done. D. You can not apply that to time management. E. It may improve the chances of achieving objectives. F. You realize it’s time to step back when you start feeling like this. G. This in turn, leads to a decline in production as well as a rise in their anxiety levels. 【答案】16. G 17. E 18. B 19. C 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了四项时间管理技能。 【16题详解】 根据前文“But a number of people today have difficulty successfully managing time. (但今天许多人难以成功地管理时间。)”可知，下文将讲述时间管理不善的后果。与G项“This in turn, leads to a decline in production as well as a rise in their anxiety levels. (这反过来导致生产力下降以及焦虑水平上升。)”上下文一致，符合语境，故选G项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“Set priorities. Write out all the tasks you need to get through for the day and then prioritize them in accordance with their level of significance. (设定优先级。写下你一天需要完成的所有任务，然后根据它们的重要性进行优先排序。)”可知，空处应描述设定优先级的好处。与E项“It may improve the chances of achieving objectives. (这可能会提高实现目标的机会。)”上下文一致，符合语境，描述了设定优先级的好处。故选E项。 【18题详解】 根据下文“Certain activities, though seemingly harmless, significantly affect productivity. Instagram and Facebook, for instance, could easily consume hours that are better spent on studying or rest. (某些活动，虽然看似无害，但会显著影响生产力。例如，Instagram和Facebook可以轻易地消耗掉本可以用于学习或休息的时间。)”可知，空处应描述需要消除的时间浪费者。与B项“Eliminate Time-wasters. (杜绝浪费时间的行为。)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选B项。 【19题详解】 根据前文“Do less. This is a trick from Leo Babauta, who started the blog Zen Habits. In his opinion, doing less doesn't mean “less is more”. It means “less is better”. (少做点。这是Leo Babauta的一个技巧，他创办了Zen Habits博客。在他看来，少做并不意味着“少即是多”。它意味着“少即是好”。)”可知，空处应描述少做的具体方法。与C项“Be aware of what needs to be done. (了解需要做什么。)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选C项。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Your mind will let you understand that you require a break when you start to feel sleepy, restless, hungry or lose concentration regardless of whether or not you have such a timer set. (你的头脑会让你明白，当你开始感到困倦、焦躁不安、饥饿或注意力不集中时，无论你是否设置了这样的计时器，你都需要休息一下。)”可知，空处应描述当你有这些感觉时该怎么做。与F项“You realize it’s time to step back when you start feeling like this. (当你开始有这种感觉时，你会意识到是时候退一步了。)”上下文一致，符合文意，故选F项。 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Whenever photographer Casey Ryan heads into the wilderness, he brings along his drone (无人机) to capture photographs from a bird's eye view.

My friend Ollie has lived with his grandmother, Abuela, since he was a baby. Abuela is the kindest, smartest, funniest person imaginable! On the morning of Mother's Day, I invited them to my house for a party. “I love any kind of party if there's a cake!” Ollie said. “Of course.” I chuckled, “I made a card for my mom, but I still want to find some present to go with it”. Ollie also wanted to buy roses for Abuela, but everything is so expensive at the flower store that he can barely afford a leaf! Just then, our neighbor, Mrs. Nishikawa who was watering her garden, waved and called, “Good morning, kiddos!” Ollie waved back. “Good morning, Mrs. Nishikawa! Your garden is always so pretty.” “Oy! It's a mess.” She groaned. “My back has been acting up, and I haven't weeded for days.” Ollie and I were eager to offer help. Half an hour later, both of us had a big pile of weeds. Mrs. Nishikawa smiled and said we could choose whatever flowers we liked for Mother's day bouquets (花束). We clipped, arranged, and wrapped everything in big sheets of sparkly paper and string. Ollie and I both said that these look just as good as the ones at the store and even better. As we headed back with flowers in arms, we came up with a plan. Nobody would think to look in my bedroom closet, a perfect place to hide these, except my two cats. It was a good idea that at the exact right time, we would shout “Surprise!” and amaze everybody. But you know perfect plans don't always work out perfectly. Everybody elegantly sipped tea and not-so-elegantly gobbled cake. Then we took turns saying things we loved and appreciated about Abuela and my mom. Right when they were chatting, Ollie and I snuck (溜走) off to get our surprise. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “NO!” I yelled as soon as our cats dashed out of the bedroom. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “How can you get so beautiful flowers?” Abuela and my mom asked. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“NO!” I yelled as soon as our cats dashed out of the bedroom. The sight that met my eyes was both amusing and a little heartbreaking. While our carefully crafted bouquets were now a chaotic blend of petals and stems scattered all over the floor, the cats were completely unaware of the mess they had caused. Ollie and I stood there, momentarily stunned, as our surprise was unveiled in the most unexpected way. The guests, including Abuela and my mom, quickly rose from their seats, trying to contain the playful cats and also attempting to rescue what was left of the bouquets. “How can you get so beautiful flowers?” Abuela and my mom asked. Ollie and I exchanged a knowing look before bursting into laughter. “Well, it's a funny surprise actually,” I began, recounting our story with Mrs. Nishikawa. Abuela and my mom couldn't help but join in our laughter, their eyes sparkling with amusement. “Tomorrow, I will tell Mrs. Nishikawa what happened to her flowers,” Ollie joked. As we all sat together, talking about the surprises, we knew that the true gift of Mother's Day was the love and laughter we shared as a family. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者邀请朋友Ollie和她的祖母来自己家里参加聚会，她们准备给妈妈和祖母一份礼物。她们于是帮助邻居的花园除草，邻居让她们在花园里选择喜欢的鲜花作为母亲节花束。作者和Ollie回到家后想到一个好主意，把花束藏在壁橱里，准备在适当的时候给出惊喜，派对过程中，作者和Ollie溜出去去取她们的惊喜。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““不!”我们的猫一冲出卧室，我就大叫起来。”可知，第一段可描写作者和Ollie精心准备的花束被猫给破坏了，惊喜以意想不到的方式揭开了。 ②由第二段首句内容““你们怎么能得到这么漂亮的花?”祖母和妈妈问。”可知，第二段可描写作者和Ollie讲述获得花束的过程，并且感慨母亲节最好的礼物就是作为家庭一起分享爱和笑声。 2.续写线索：花束被猫给破坏——作者和Ollie惊讶——惊喜暴露——讲述获得花束的过程——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①没意识到，不知道：be unaware of/ be ignorant of ②交换：exchange/ change for ③参加：join in / participate in 情绪类 ①突然大笑：burst into laughter /burst out laughing ②小心地：carefully / with caution 【点睛】[高分句型1].

The best way to see the Scottish Highlands is by train, where you can take in the rolling hills and mystical lochs (湖) from the comfort of your seat. Here are the most popular routes to exploring the Scottish Highlands by train: Loch Ness: 3 hours, 18 minutes by train For those seeking out the legendary Loch Ness monster, Inverness is the closest train station to the famous loch.

Fort William and Mallaig: over 5 hours by train Although a long train ride, the trip from Edinburgh to Mallaig, a charming fishing village, is worth it. This route offers some of the best scenery in the world. Travelers can board the 19th-century-inspired Jacobite Steam Train and wind past charming villages, the Morar River and beaches. Ben Nevis: over 5 hours by train Ben Nevis is an ancient volcano that exploded and collapsed on itself to become the tallest mountain in the British Isles. Travelers can take the train to Fort William, a town offering castles, and rugged coastlines along the West Highlands Peninsula. The town is also known as the “Outdoor Capital” of Scotland, so thrill-seekers can go skiing and hiking to their heart’s desire. 1. What can travelers do at Loch Ness? A. Explore the area on foot. B.

B They had a combined age of 155 years when they took the p lunge into internet dating. Now married, 85 and 86-year-old Gill and John live in York. It's a far cry from the lonely days when Gill and John were widowed after 47 and nearly 50 years. John was in “a black hole” when a friend told him about a dating site for the elderly. Meanwhile, Gill was also feeling down and researching such dating sites. “Opportunities to meet a partner close down as you get older. Meeting online makes sense when you want to find some one with similar interests,” explain sretired Gill. They both took a leap of faith and joined Wrinklies Connection.com. Gill admits, “I was scared to death. I didn't even tell my family at first.” John needed help from his grandson, Mitchell. “I ‘waved’ back to ladies who responded to my profile, but they thought I was waving goodbye and showing that I did not want to pursue contact!” A week or so later, he saw Gill's profile and recalls, “Gill's photo was very attractive and she described an active, interesting life.” Gill was drawn to John because “We are both people who enjoy the outdoor life.” In June 2016, they met for coffee and Gill remembers, “John had an easy manner and lovely smile. I found him handsome with a lovely crop of hair!” John found Gill similarly attractive, genuine and easy to talk to. They began to meet regularly and text every day. Gill laughs, “We have the same sense of humour. My elder son said we were just like a pair of giddy teenagers!” Happily, they became engaged at snowdrop time and Gills’ sons, Andrew and Julian, walked her down the aisle on April 22, 2017 with 250 delighted friends and family sharing the celebration. “We are immensely grateful to Wrinklies Connections for the joy it has brought us,” says Gill. John adds, “We never thought we would be internet dating in our late seventies. Now I say that life begins at 78!” 4. What led Gill and John to join Wrinklies Connection.com? A. Being encouraged by friends and relatives. B. Feeling lonely after being widowed for long. C. Looking for someone with similar occupations. D. Working together to get out of black holes in life. 5. How did John unintentionally respond to ladies showing interest in his profile? A. Leaving messages indicating fear. B. Sending “wave” to say hello. C. Ignoring their messages at first. D. Asking his grandson for help. 6. What was Gill's impression with John when they first met in person? A. He was good at an outdoor life. B. He looked easygoing and friendly. C. He often waved to strangers kindly. D. He was more humorous than expected. 7. What's the best title of the passage? A. Online Friends across Time and Space B. The Beginning of a New Online Life C. Wrinklies Connections for the Elderly D. The Elderly's New Life from the Internet C Buried in ash after Vesuvius’ eruption, hundreds of scrolls (卷轴) have kept their secrets hidden for centuries. But archaeologists have now been able to reveal some of the ancient text with the help of artificial intelligence. Discovered in the ruins of a villa, the Herculaneum scrolls are a collection of around1,000 scrolls, along with other relics. In earlier times, many people tried to unlock the secrets of scrolls but in vain, mainly because most of them were fragile (易碎的) and would shatter into pieces if unrolled. Until now, the only way to read what's inside the scrolls is to put together the thousands of pieces, which may take 500 years to reveal their content. Fortunately, a team led by professor Seales had already pioneered a way to “virtually unwrap” an ancient scroll using X-ray tomography (断层成像技术). But that was not enough to read the barely visible ink on the ancient documents. The chemistry of the ink from the ancient world is different than the chemistry from medieval times. It's largely invisible to the naked eye even when caught by the X-ray. In 2019, they did come up with a solution based on artificial intelligence to “see” the ink, but it needed much data. So they launched the Vesuvius Challenge to accelerate the work and released software and thousands of 3D X-ray images of pieces and two rolled-up scrolls, in the hope that global research groups would take up the challenge. In the end, a team of three students shared the grand prize. They could read 2,000letters from the scroll after training machine-learning algorithms on the scans. After creating a 3D scan of the text using a CT scan, the scroll was then separated into segments. A machine learning model—an application of AI—then detected the inked regions, allowing them to decipher the text. Mastro, a professor at Naples’ University, called the technique “revolutionary.” “We worked literally day and night to study them, but I am more excited that using this method we can reveal what has been hidden in the scrolls for almost 2,000 years,” said Mastro. 8. What issue was resolved with X-ray tomography? A. The fragile nature of the scrolls. B. Putting together divided pieces. C. Showing the scrolls without opening it. D. The difficulty in understanding ancient languages. 9. How did AI function in processing the scrolls? A. By unwrapping the scrolls. B. By analyzing the chemistry. C. By separating them with relics. D. By detecting the barely visible ink. 10. What does the underlined word “decipher” mean in paragraph 5? A. Adapt. B. Summarize. C. Arrange. D. Interpret. 11. What is the passage mainly about? A. Scrolls promote technological revolution. B. AI advanced the way to read ancient scrolls. C. New technology discovered relics in Vesuvius. D. Hidden secrets are recorded by archaeologists. D It’s one of the most common questions adults ask children: what do you want to be when you grow up? Although childhood is supposed to be fun, kids also discuss important topics regarding their futures. Now, a new study finds that children who set big goals regarding their future status and education often set themselves up for success as they age. The findings, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, are the first to reveal a connection between life goal development and future success in school or the workplace. Rodica Damian, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Houston, and other researchers discovered that as children grow up, their goals naturally begin to change. However, as some childhood goals fall away, other goals related to a family stay strong. These include being close to relatives, building more friendships or finding a romantic partner, and even becoming more involved in the community or helping others. During the study, researchers compared how their goals evolved as children moved from adolescence to adulthood and how a person's goals impacted their success in school and as an employee later on. Overall, a child’s goals focusing on their education and future status were the most consistent predictors of income in adulthood. Simply, when a child dreams big about doing well in school or achieving great success as an adult, these goals accurately paint a picture of how successful these children will be. So, the message is simple: dream big and dream of success, kids! Those goals can drive you to success when you grow up! “Our work proves a strong connection between a child’s life goals, educational achievement, and future occupational outcomes.

Write out all the tasks you need to get through for the day and then prioritize them in accordance with their level of significance. ____17____ Meanwhile, it also assists to guarantee that the most important things are done on time. ____18____ Certain activities, though seemingly harmless, significantly affect productivity.

To combat this, using time management tools that track how much time you spend online highlights areas for improvement. Do less. This is a trick from Leo Babauta, who started the blog Zen Habits.

According to Nathaniel Kleitman, a sleep scientist, “our brains naturally desire rest after every 90 minutes of hard activity.” Your mind will let you understand that you require a break when you start to feel sleepy, restless, hungry or lose concentration regardless of whether or not you have such a timer set. ____20____ Embrace these strategies, adapt them to your specific needs, and reclaim control over your time management. Your future self will thank you for it! A. Stay creative. B. Eliminate Time-wasters. C. Be aware of what needs to be done. D. You can not apply that to time management. E. It may improve the chances of achieving objectives. F. You realize it’s time to step back when you start feeling like this. G.

My friend Ollie has lived with his grandmother, Abuela, since he was a baby. Abuela is the kindest, smartest, funniest person imaginable! On the morning of Mother's Day, I invited them to my house for a party. “I love any kind of party if there's a cake!” Ollie said. “Of course.” I chuckled, “I made a card for my mom, but I still want to find some present to go with it”. Ollie also wanted to buy roses for Abuela, but everything is so expensive at the flower store that he can barely afford a leaf! Just then, our neighbor, Mrs. Nishikawa who was watering her garden, waved and called, “Good morning, kiddos!” Ollie waved back. “Good morning, Mrs. Nishikawa! Your garden is always so pretty.” “Oy! It's a mess.” She groaned. “My back has been acting up, and I haven't weeded for days.” Ollie and I were eager to offer help. Half an hour later, both of us had a big pile of weeds. Mrs. Nishikawa smiled and said we could choose whatever flowers we liked for Mother's day bouquets (花束). We clipped, arranged, and wrapped everything in big sheets of sparkly paper and string. Ollie and I both said that these look just as good as the ones at the store and even better. As we headed back with flowers in arms, we came up with a plan. Nobody would think to look in my bedroom closet, a perfect place to hide these, except my two cats. It was a good idea that at the exact right time, we would shout “Surprise!” and amaze everybody. But you know perfect plans don't always work out perfectly. Everybody elegantly sipped tea and not-so-elegantly gobbled cake. Then we took turns saying things we loved and appreciated about Abuela and my mom. Right when they were chatting, Ollie and I snuck (溜走) off to get our surprise. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “NO!” I yelled as soon as our cats dashed out of the bedroom. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “How can you get so beautiful flowers?” Abuela and my mom asked. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
