This adventure, brought to you by the Eiffel Tower and designed by start-up Mira, presents new opportunities and invites visitors to take part in a virtual reality adventure charged with emotions, suspense and excitement! You will form teams of 2 to 4 people fitted with virtual reality headsets (头盔) and be transported to a world aboard a Zeppelin flying around the Eiffel Tower. At the end of this thrilling adventure, if you complete your mission, you’ll win a chance to take part in a night flight around the Eiffel Tower. Experience duration: 12 minutes Prices for the experience: Tickets for the “Eiffel Tower Effect” can be bought on site, during your visit, in the Tower’s official store located on the first floor! Standard price (over age 12): €15 Discount rate for children (aged 8 — 11) and people with disabilities: €12 Opening times Monday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. — Last admission at 7:30 p.m. Who can play? The experience is recommended for healthy adults and children aged 11 and over (not available to children under age 8). Please note: Because of the technology involved, virtual reality experiences are not recommended for pregnant women, people with heart problems, or people with balance or vision problems. 1. What can we learn about the “Eiffel Tower Effect”? A. It is a virtual reality adventure. B. It is a night flight around the Eiffel Tower. C. Visitors should finish a task to experience it. D. Visitors will experience it on the top of the tower. 2. Who are unfit to participate in the adventure? A. Teenagers with disabilities. B. Women with glasses. C. Old people in good health. D. People with heart diseases. 3. How much should a mother with her 9-year-old son pay? A. €15. B. €24. C. €27. D. €30. B Teenagers who travel around the world alone have been making headlines (头条新闻) quite often. A young person alone in a dangerous situation attracts attention and sponsors. Young sailors also attract various views. For example, Jessica Watson was asked by the government to cancel her voyage, but the Prime Minister called her “a hero for young Australians” when she returned. It seemed there is confusion about the competence and independence of young people. The popular psychologists tell us that teenage brains are likely to make wrong judgments. But such ideas often do not apply to specific individuals. Between the ages of 14 and 18, teenagers vary greatly in their abilities. The amount of independence that each is allowed should be determined not simply by their age but by discussion with the related, responsible adults. Some teens are certainly inexperienced and capable of childish mistakes, but the ones who attempt dangerous journeys usually do so by winning the confidence of hard-headed and well-qualified adult supporters. But it’s also wrong to think that any 16-year-old can desire to get achievements as unusual as Jessica Watson’s. Watson calls herself “an ordinary girl who had a dream”. Her purpose is to encourage teenagers but this idea can have the opposite effect of making them feel not good enough because great achievements are beyond them. Should all teens have such dreams? Actually, individuals face varying circumstances that restrict their dreams. Teenagers who travel around the world alone should not be judged by preconceived (事先形成的) views about young people. Nor should young “ordinary” teenagers feel pressure to long for extraordinary personal goals. In fact, I believe the example of solo sailing overstresses individualism. The teenage years are when most of us “ordinary” people learn that we can achieve great things in cooperation with others. 4. What can we learn about Jessica Watson? A. She was criticized by the government. B. She made a successful voyage. C. She failed to finish her voyage and gave up halfway. D. She finally canceled her voyage. 5. What can be inferred about teenagers from the text? A. They have similar abilities. B. They make decisions on their own. C. They always make wrong judgments. D. They need supports of responsible adults. 6. Who does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Parents. B. Teenagers. C. Psychologists. D. Adults. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Divided Opinions on Young Adventurers B. Problems Faced by Adventurous Teens C. Various Ways to Become Independent D. Pressure to Achieve Personal Goals C Do you think artificial intelligence (AI) should be banned in schools? To improve the new development of education, experts and officials believe that generative AI tools should be safely and appropriately used in schools rather than being banned. Zheng Qinghua, president of Tongji University, emphasized the importance of taking the opportunities and meeting challenges presented by AI-empowered education. He suggested that young people should be guided to improve their understanding of the knowledge created by technology. Meanwhile, their motivation for learning should also be encouraged. AI technology has become increasingly important for getting and spreading knowledge, impacting teaching, learning, and school management. Zheng emphasized the widespread use of various models such as Ernie Bot, an AI chatbot product developed by Baidu, among college students in China. The tool can write essays, solve science problems, and help students with homework and tests. Furthermore, a survey conducted by the online learning platform Study showed that 89 percent of students had used ChatGPT for homework assistance, raising concerns about academic honesty. Instead of merely relying on AI to provide answers or complete homework and tests, people should focus on using AI to develop students’ innovation and integrate professional skills, enabling them to solve real-world problems, said Zheng. According to Colin Bailey, president of Queen Mary University of London, as ChatGPT grows rapidly, the focus should not be on whether to use AI in education, but on how to use it safely, effectively, and appropriately. Banning AI in schools is not the solution, Bailey concluded. Bailey also warned about the potential harm caused by poorly designed AI. Efforts to regulate (监管) AI have come out around the world, such as the Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights in the US and a pro-innovation approach to AI regulation in the UK. In China, measures for managing generative AI services have been carried out. Chen Jie, vice-minister of education, emphasized the need for cooperation among education and research institutions to deal with AI-related issues like privacy leaks and bias. 8. What is Zheng Qinghua’s attitude towards using AI in education? A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Negative. D. Unclear. 9. What is the concern raised by the survey conducted by Study? A. The privacy leaks of using AI tools. B. The high cost of AI tools for schools. C. The students’ academic honesty in homework. D. The students’ preference for AI chatbots to human teachers. 10. What is Colin Bailey’s suggestion on AI tools in schools? A. Using them in a proper and efficient way. B. Stopping the use of AI tools in schools. C. Replacing teachers with AI tools in the classroom. D. Using them without control. 11. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The only way of China in regulating AI. B. The global agreement on the ban of AI in education. C. The international cooperation in preventing the use of AI. D. The worldwide efforts to establish regulations on AI services. D It’s a classic complaint in relationships, especially romantic ones: “She said she was okay with me forgetting her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen? Are the two things related? ” The answer is YES. Communication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word. It’s multi-dimensional, as explored by Deirdre Wilson and Dan Sperber in Meaning and Relevance. Consider the following example: Peter got angry and Mary left; Mary left and Peter got angry. Though identical in words, their meanings differ completely. The first one may have us thinking: Wow, Peter must get angry often if Mary leaves. The second sentence suggests that Peter wants more from Mary. Same words — a totally different context. Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitter (发出者) and receiver share exactly the same code. ” Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken. Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency. Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning. 12. What does the complaint in Paragraph 1 mainly tell us? A. The importance of remembering important moments. B. The inconsistence between words and meaning. C. The necessity of indirect communication. D. The possibility of argument in a couple's life. 13. What may make human language different from true codes? A. The context included in understanding meanings. B. The definitions made by words in communication. C. The coded communication between emitter and receiver. D. The one-to-one relationship between word and meaning. 14. How does Mary’s statement “That was fun” show about irony? A. It uses fewer words to save time. B. It uses a long sentence to show simple feelings. C. It needs detailed explanations to make sense. D. It uses fewer words for complex meanings. 15. What does the author suggest in communication? A. Focusing on the opposite. B. Taking language literally. C. Reading beyond the words. D. Avoiding using ironic tones. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A Piggyback Ride from a Stranger Once a year, Bannister climbs to High Rock Lookout where she scattered (撒) her mother’s ashes (骨灰) 23 years ago. ___16___ Last August, Bannister, then 79, went on her own, figuring she’d be fine because she’s an experienced hiker.

(本次冒险由埃菲尔铁塔为您带来，由初创公司Mira设计，提供新的机会，邀请游客参与一场充满情感、悬念和刺激的虚拟现实冒险！)”可知，这是虚拟现实的冒险体验。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Who can play?部分的“Please note: Because of the technology involved, virtual reality experiences are not recommended for pregnant women, people with heart problems, or people with balance or vision problems. (请注意：由于所涉及的技术，不建议孕妇、心脏病患者或有平衡或视力问题的人进行虚拟现实体验。)”可知，有心脏病的人不适合进行这项冒险。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Prices for the experience部分的“Standard price (over age 12): €15 (12岁以上标准价：15欧元)”和“Discount rate for children (aged 8 — 11) and people with disabilities: €12 (8至11岁儿童和残疾人优惠价：12欧元)”可知，这名母亲的票价是15欧元，9岁儿子的票价是12欧元，因此一共需支付27（=15+12）欧元。故选C项。 B Teenagers who travel around the world alone have been making headlines (头条新闻) quite often. A young person alone in a dangerous situation attracts attention and sponsors. Young sailors also attract various views. For example, Jessica Watson was asked by the government to cancel her voyage, but the Prime Minister called her “a hero for young Australians” when she returned. It seemed there is confusion about the competence and independence of young people. The popular psychologists tell us that teenage brains are likely to make wrong judgments. But such ideas often do not apply to specific individuals. Between the ages of 14 and 18, teenagers vary greatly in their abilities. The amount of independence that each is allowed should be determined not simply by their age but by discussion with the related, responsible adults. Some teens are certainly inexperienced and capable of childish mistakes, but the ones who attempt dangerous journeys usually do so by winning the confidence of hard-headed and well-qualified adult supporters. But it’s also wrong to think that any 16-year-old can desire to get achievements as unusual as Jessica Watson’s. Watson calls herself “an ordinary girl who had a dream”. Her purpose is to encourage teenagers but this idea can have the opposite effect of making them feel not good enough because great achievements are beyond them. Should all teens have such dreams? Actually, individuals face varying circumstances that restrict their dreams. Teenagers who travel around the world alone should not be judged by preconceived (事先形成的) views about young people. Nor should young “ordinary” teenagers feel pressure to long for extraordinary personal goals. In fact, I believe the example of solo sailing overstresses individualism. The teenage years are when most of us “ordinary” people learn that we can achieve great things in cooperation with others. 4. What can we learn about Jessica Watson? A. She was criticized by the government. B. She made a successful voyage. C. She failed to finish her voyage and gave up halfway. D. She finally canceled her voyage. 5. What can be inferred about teenagers from the text? A. They have similar abilities. B. They make decisions on their own. C. They always make wrong judgments. D. They need supports of responsible adults. 6. Who does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Parents. B. Teenagers. C. Psychologists. D. Adults. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Divided Opinions on Young Adventurers B. Problems Faced by Adventurous Teens C. Various Ways to Become Independent D. Pressure to Achieve Personal Goals 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了独自一人环游世界的青少年经常成为头条新闻，一个年轻人Jessica Watson成为了澳大利亚年轻人的英雄，为此各方有着不同的看法。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“For example, Jessica Watson was asked by the government to cancel her voyage, but the Prime Minister called her “a hero for young Australians” when she returned.(例如，政府曾要求Jessica Watson取消航行，但她归来时，总理称她为“澳大利亚年轻人的英雄”。)”可知，Jessica Watson完成了航行并成功归来，受到了总理的赞扬。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The amount of independence that each is allowed should be determined not simply by their age but by discussion with the related, responsible adults. Some teens are certainly inexperienced and capable of childish mistakes, but the ones who attempt dangerous journeys usually do so by winning the confidence of hard-headed and well-qualified adult supporters.(每个青少年被允许拥有的独立性不应仅由年龄决定，还应通过与相关的、负责任的成年人讨论来确定。有些青少年确实缺乏经验，可能会犯幼稚的错误，但那些尝试危险旅程的青少年通常是通过赢得冷静且合格的成年支持者的信任才这样做的。)”可知，青少年需要负责任的成年人的支持。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Her purpose is to encourage teenagers but this idea can have the opposite effect of making them feel not good enough because great achievements are beyond them.(她的目的是鼓励青少年，但这种想法可能会产生相反的效果，让他们觉得自己不够好，因为伟大的成就超出了them的能力范围。)”可知，句子前半句点明沃森的初衷是鼓励 teenagers（青少年），转折后说该想法带来负面作用，会让前文提到的这群青少年产生自我否定的心理，两处人称指代对象一致，因此画线词them指代teenagers。。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Teenagers who travel around the world alone have been making headlines (头条新闻) quite often. A young person alone in a dangerous situation attracts attention and sponsors. Young sailors also attract various views. For example, Jessica Watson was asked by the government to cancel her voyage, but the Prime Minister called her “a hero for young Australians” when she returned. It seemed there is confusion about the competence and independence of young people.(独自环游世界的青少年经常登上头条。身处危险境地的年轻人会吸引关注和赞助。年轻的水手们也引发了不同的看法。例如，政府曾要求Jessica Watson取消航行，但她归来时，总理称她为“澳大利亚年轻人的英雄”。人们似乎对年轻人的能力和独立性存在困惑。)”以及全文内容可知，文章开篇就点明了青少年独自环球旅行引发了不同的观点，后续段落围绕这些分歧展开讨论，A选项“Divided Opinions on Young Adventurers(对年轻冒险者的不同看法)”概括了文章主题，适合为最佳标题。 C Do you think artificial intelligence (AI) should be banned in schools? To improve the new development of education, experts and officials believe that generative AI tools should be safely and appropriately used in schools rather than being banned. Zheng Qinghua, president of Tongji University, emphasized the importance of taking the opportunities and meeting challenges presented by AI-empowered education. He suggested that young people should be guided to improve their understanding of the knowledge created by technology. Meanwhile, their motivation for learning should also be encouraged. AI technology has become increasingly important for getting and spreading knowledge, impacting teaching, learning, and school management. Zheng emphasized the widespread use of various models such as Ernie Bot, an AI chatbot product developed by Baidu, among college students in China. The tool can write essays, solve science problems, and help students with homework and tests. Furthermore, a survey conducted by the online learning platform Study showed that 89 percent of students had used ChatGPT for homework assistance, raising concerns about academic honesty. Instead of merely relying on AI to provide answers or complete homework and tests, people should focus on using AI to develop students’ innovation and integrate professional skills, enabling them to solve real-world problems, said Zheng. According to Colin Bailey, president of Queen Mary University of London, as ChatGPT grows rapidly, the focus should not be on whether to use AI in education, but on how to use it safely, effectively, and appropriately. Banning AI in schools is not the solution, Bailey concluded. Bailey also warned about the potential harm caused by poorly designed AI. Efforts to regulate (监管) AI have come out around the world, such as the Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights in the US and a pro-innovation approach to AI regulation in the UK. In China, measures for managing generative AI services have been carried out. Chen Jie, vice-minister of education, emphasized the need for cooperation among education and research institutions to deal with AI-related issues like privacy leaks and bias. 8. What is Zheng Qinghua’s attitude towards using AI in education? A. Doubtful. B. Favorable. C. Negative. D. Unclear. 9. What is the concern raised by the survey conducted by Study? A. The privacy leaks of using AI tools. B. The high cost of AI tools for schools. C. The students’ academic honesty in homework. D. The students’ preference for AI chatbots to human teachers. 10. What is Colin Bailey’s suggestion on AI tools in schools? A. Using them in a proper and efficient way. B. Stopping the use of AI tools in schools. C. Replacing teachers with AI tools in the classroom. D. Using them without control. 11. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The only way of China in regulating AI. B. The global agreement on the ban of AI in education. C. The international cooperation in preventing the use of AI. D. The worldwide efforts to establish regulations on AI services. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章通过引用专家和官员的观点，探讨了人工智能（AI）在教育中的应用及其带来的机遇和挑战，并对AI技术在教育中的使用提出了建议和规范。同时，文章也提到了全球范围内对AI进行监管的努力。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Zheng Qinghua, president of Tongji University, emphasized the importance of taking the opportunities and meeting challenges presented by AI-empowered education.(同济大学校长郑庆华强调，要抓住机遇，迎接人工智能教育带来的挑战。)”以及第三段“Zheng emphasized the widespread use of various models such as Ernie Bot, an AI chatbot product developed by Baidu, among college students in China.(郑庆华强调了各种模型在中国大学生中的广泛使用，例如百度开发的人工智能聊天机器人产品Ernie Bot。)”可知，郑庆华强调了AI在教育中的重要性，以及在大学生中的广泛使用，对于在教育中使用人工智能持支持态度。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Furthermore, a survey conducted by the online learning platform Study showed that 89 percent of students had used ChatGPT for homework assistance, raising concerns about academic honesty.(此外，在线学习平台Study进行的一项调查显示，89%的学生曾使用ChatGPT帮助完成作业，这引发了人们对学术诚信的担忧。)”可知，该调查引发的担忧是学生在作业中的学术诚信问题。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“According to Colin Bailey, president of Queen Mary University of London, as ChatGPT grows rapidly, the focus should not be on whether to use AI in education, but on how to use it safely, effectively, and appropriately. Banning AI in schools is not the solution, Bailey concluded.(伦敦玛丽女王大学校长Colin Bailey表示，随着ChatGPT的快速发展，重点不应放在是否在教育中使用AI上，而应放在如何安全、有效、恰当地使用它上。Bailey总结说，在学校禁止AI不是解决办法。)”可知，Colin Bailey认为重点不应放在是否在教育中使用人工智能，而应放在如何安全、有效和适当地使用它。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Efforts to regulate (监管) AI have come out around the world, such as the Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights in the US and a pro-innovation approach to AI regulation in the UK.(世界各地都在努力监管人工智能，比如美国的《人工智能权利法案蓝图》，英国的《支持创新的人工智能监管方式》。)”可知, 本段主要介绍了全球在建立人工智能服务监管规定方面做出的努力。D选项“The worldwide efforts to establish regulations on AI services.(世界范围内建立人工智能服务法规的努力。)”能概括本段主要内容。 D It’s a classic complaint in relationships, especially romantic ones: “She said she was okay with me forgetting her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen? Are the two things related? ” The answer is YES. Communication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word. It’s multi-dimensional, as explored by Deirdre Wilson and Dan Sperber in Meaning and Relevance. Consider the following example: Peter got angry and Mary left; Mary left and Peter got angry. Though identical in words, their meanings differ completely. The first one may have us thinking: Wow, Peter must get angry often if Mary leaves. The second sentence suggests that Peter wants more from Mary. Same words — a totally different context. Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitter (发出者) and receiver share exactly the same code. ” Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken. Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency. Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning. 12. What does the complaint in Paragraph 1 mainly tell us? A. The importance of remembering important moments. B. The inconsistence between words and meaning. C. The necessity of indirect communication. D. The possibility of argument in a couple's life. 13. What may make human language different from true codes? A. The context included in understanding meanings. B. The definitions made by words in communication. C. The coded communication between emitter and receiver. D. The one-to-one relationship between word and meaning. 14. How does Mary’s statement “That was fun” show about irony? A. It uses fewer words to save time. B. It uses a long sentence to show simple feelings. C. It needs detailed explanations to make sense. D. It uses fewer words for complex meanings. 15. What does the author suggest in communication? A. Focusing on the opposite. B. Taking language literally. C. Reading beyond the words. D. Avoiding using ironic tones. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍人类语言交流特点及反语在交流中的作用。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“She said she was okay with me forgetting her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen? Are the two things related?(她说她不介意我忘记她的生日！那她为什么在厨房里摔盘子呢？这两件事有关系吗？)”以及第二段“Communication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order, even the choice of a particular word.(沟通不仅仅是言语，还包括说话的方式、语调、顺序，甚至某个词语的选择)”可推知，第一段的抱怨主要表明了言语和意思之间的不一致。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound, one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works best when emitter (发出者) and receiver share exactly the same code. ” Not so for humans. We communicate more than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken.(人类语言并非一种编码。真正的编码具有意义与声音之间的一一对应关系，即一个声音对应一个定义。这正是我们观察到动物行为时的情况。威尔逊和斯佩伯指出：“当发出者和接收者使用完全相同的编码时，编码式交流效果最佳。” 但人类的情况并非如此。我们的交流远超词语本身所表达的含义。这种交流属于推断性沟通，意味着我们不仅理解所说的话语，还理解其出现的语境)”可知，理解意义时所包含的语境使人类语言不同于真正的编码。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency.(反语就是一个绝佳的例子，展示了我们如何用寥寥数语就能强有力地传达语境。它不仅仅是表达相反的意思。例如，当玛丽在一场无聊的派对后说“那很有趣”，她既没有字面意思上表示派对很有趣，也没有“讽刺地”说明派对无聊。相反，她是在表达一种情绪。三个词取代了整段文字，充分展现了语言的高效性)”可知，玛丽的陈述“那很有趣”用更少的词表达了复杂的意思，从而说明了反语的特点。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning.(威尔逊和斯佩伯得出结论：人类语言之所以发展并变得如此强大，是因为人类具备两种独特的能力：语言本身，以及解读他人心理状态的能力。我们会在听到的词语中寻找语境，并且应当非常擅长吸收这些语境以推断其含义)”可推知，作者认为在交流中应该理解话语背后的意思，也就是不仅仅局限于字面意思。 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A Piggyback Ride from a Stranger Once a year, Bannister climbs to High Rock Lookout where she scattered (撒) her mother’s ashes (骨灰) 23 years ago. ___16___ Last August, Bannister, then 79, went on her own, figuring she’d be fine because she’s an experienced hiker. She arrived at the trail early and made her way to the lookout. As she headed back down, her foot got caught in a hole in the ground. ___17___ When sitting up, she knew immediately she had broken her leg. She cried out for help, and before long, a stranger approached and called 911. They were told a search and rescue team would arrive in five hours. “It wasn’t very encouraging,” Bannister says. “I asked if anyone had painkillers (止痛药), because the pain was pretty substantial then.” ___18___ But two young men, Troy May, an Air Force airman and his friend Layton Allen, came over to see what was going on. When seeing Bannister in extreme pain, they offered to carry her to the bottom of the trail. May eased Bannister onto his back and started hiking downward. He carried her for most of the nearly three-hour journey, and Allen carried her for the rest. “That was just one kindness,” says Bannister. ___19___ One, a physical therapist, bandaged Bannister’s foot and built a makeshift splint (夹板) for her leg. The other did breathing exercises with her to help calm her. During the long hike down, her rescuers shared stories to distract her from the mounting pain. Once reaching the parking lot, they rushed Bannister to the nearest hospital. ___20___ “I think we’ll be lifelong friends,” Bannister says. A. The local rescue team sent her to the hospital. B. No one in the surrounding area had. C. She fell forward against all expectations. D. A couple hiking that day also lent a hand. E. They have visited her several times afterwards. F. She immediately called her family and waited for them to pick her up. G. She usually hikes with someone along the 3.2-mile trail. 【答案】16. G 17. C 18. B 19. D 20. E 【解析】 【导语】讲述高龄老人独自登山摔伤腿，偶遇陌生好心人轮流背她下山并施以救助的暖心故事。 【16题详解】 根据后文“Last August, Bannister, then 79, went on her own, figuring she’d be fine because she’s an experienced hiker.(去年八月，当时79岁的班尼斯特独自前往，她觉得自己经验丰富，不会出事。)”可知，后文交代本次是独自出行，空格处应当交代往常的出行习惯，形成对比。G选项“She usually hikes with someone along the 3.2-mile trail.(往常这条3.2英里的步道她都会结伴同行)”中usually和后文on her own构成转折对照，逻辑通顺，符合语境。 【17题详解】 根据前文“As she headed back down, her foot got caught in a hole in the ground.(她下山途中，脚卡在了地上的洞里。)”以及空后“When sitting up, she knew immediately she had broken her leg.(坐起身时，她立刻意识到自己摔断了腿。)”可知，脚被卡住之后发生了摔倒的动作，进而腿部受伤。C选项“She fell forward against all expectations.(她意外向前摔倒了)”承接脚被卡住的意外状况，引出后文腿骨骨折的结果，符合语境。 【18题详解】 根据前文“I asked if anyone had painkillers (止痛药), because the pain was pretty substantial then.(我询问有没有人带止痛药，因为当时痛感十分强烈。)”以及后文“But two young men, Troy May, an Air Force airman and his friend Layton Allen, came over to see what was going on.(但两名年轻男子——空军士兵特洛伊·梅和他的朋友莱顿·艾伦上前查看情况。)”中的But表转折，说明没人有止痛药。B选项“No one in the surrounding area had.(周围没有人携带止痛药)”承接询问止痛药的情节，和后文年轻人主动提供帮助形成转折关系，符合语境。 【19题详解】 根据前文“That was just one kindness,” says Bannister.(班尼斯特说，这仅仅是其中一份善意。)”以及后文“One, a physical therapist, bandaged Bannister’s foot and built a makeshift splint (夹板) for her leg. The other did breathing exercises with her to help calm her.(其中一人是理疗师，为她包扎脚部并临时制作夹板固定伤腿；另一人带着她做呼吸练习平复情绪。)”可知，除了两名年轻人轮流背她下山，还有另外两人伸出援手。D选项“A couple hiking that day also lent a hand.(当天同行徒步的一对夫妇也伸出了援手)”引出另外两位施救者，契合后文两人分别展开救助的细节，符合语境。 【20题详解】 根据后文“I think we’ll be lifelong friends,” Bannister says.(班尼斯特说：“我觉得我们会成为一辈子的朋友。”)”可知，空格处交代老人和施救者后续仍有往来。E选项“They have visited her several times afterwards.(在那之后他们多次探望过她)”交代后续相处细节，自然引出后文成为终身挚友的感慨，符合语境。 第三部分 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 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It was getting close to midnight and I was on the road to realizing a life-long dream. “Tonight, if the weather app and my guide are ___21___, I’ll see success — the Northern Lights.” After being ___22___ by my tour operator Scott at the Hotel Captain Cook, we then began a long and careful ___23___ in the dark.
