The site’s design is bright and clear, suitable for its young target audiences, but it’s a shame that none of the activities offered take advantage of the interactive (交互式的) qualities of the net. In the current climate of technological progress, being asked to print out and complete a word search puzzle by hand could best be described as “strange”. BBC World Service This is a comprehensive site for teachers and students offering online courses, an e-mail discussion forum (论坛) run by Alice and Bee, and an invaluable news stories section where recordings of features can be accessed together with a detailed explanation of key vocabulary and idioms. The Learning English section provides teachers with a large number of present-day “issue” topic areas. As well as raising all the questions to get a more advanced class discussion going, there are online recordings of experts voicing their opinions which could provide excellent listening practice.

B A new study suggests people might like chatbot-produced poems for their simple and straightforward images, emotions and themes. In a recent experiment, the researchers tasked OpenAI’s ChatGPT with generating poems in the styles of famous poets, then presented 1,634 participants with ten poems — five human-written and five chatbot-generated — and assessed how people rated the poems based on 14 qualities, including rhythm and originality. Interestingly, they tended to rate the AI-generated poems higher on average, suggesting a preference for their straightforwardness and clarity. Why readers seem to prefer AI-generated poetry is not entirely clear, but the researchers’ best guess is that the AI poems may be more appealing because they are relatively straightforward and simple to comprehend. “Emily Dickinson sometimes breaks the expected rhyme scheme (韵律) on purpose,” says Brian Porter, a researcher at the University of Pittsburgh, “But the AI-generated poems in her style never did that once.” Besides, modern readers don’t seem to want to bother themselves to read deep to think critically. Instead, they prefer texts giving them instant answers. “When readers say they prefer AI poetry, they would seem to be showing their frustration when faced with writing that does not yield to their attention,” he adds. While the findings raise concerns about AI potentially replacing human artists and putting them out of work one day, Dorothea Lasky, the only living poet whose writings were included in the experiments, says it’s not necessarily a bad thing that readers enjoyed the AI-generated poems. “Poetry will always be necessary,” Lasky says, “If they read AI poems and like that poem better than a human-generated poem, then that, to me, is beautiful. They have a good experience with a poem, and I don’t care who wrote it. I feel there is room for all poets — even robot poets.” This study provided a platform for the intersection of technology and creativity, prompting reflection on the future of poetry and artistic expression. 24. Why did the researchers conduct the experiment? A. To create a technique. B. To clarify a concept. C. To detail an example. D. To confirm a finding. 25. What does the example of Emily Dickinson imply? A. Robots are more complicated than humans. B. AI meets modern readers’ reading preference. C. Chatbot is trained to write in creative patterns. D. Classic poetry lacks unique charming features. 26. Which belief does Dorothea Lasky have about poetry? A. All flowers bloom together. B. No dish suits all tastes. C. It’s no use crying over spilt milk. D. Time and tide wait for no man. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Will Poets Be lost in AI Era? B. ChatGPT: a New Advancement C. Fake or Real — a Concern about AI D. ChatGPT or Dickinson, Who is better? C Confirmation bias refers to people’s tendency to seek out information that supports their existing beliefs. While it’s usually subconscious, its impacts are significant. It can cloud people’s judgement and decision-making processes. One explanation for confirmation bias is that it is an efficient way to process information. Humans are constantly fed with information and cannot possibly take the time to carefully process each piece. It is adaptive for humans to rely on subconscious, automatic judgements that contribute to the efficiency. Another reason why people show confirmation bias is to protect their self-worth. People like to feel good about themselves, and discovering a belief they highly value is incorrect makes them feel bad about themselves. Therefore, confirmation bias will encourage them to disregard the information contrary to their belief. Researches show that confirmation bias is strong and widespread. In studies examining my-side bias, people were able to generate and remember more reasons supporting their side of a controversial issue than the opposing side. Only when a researcher directly asked people to generate arguments against their own beliefs were they able to do so. It is not that people are incapable of generating arguments that are contrary to their beliefs, but, rather, people are not motivated to do so. Confirmation bias also surfaces in interpersonal communication. When interacting with people who perceivers think have certain personalities, the perceivers will ask questions that are biased toward supporting the perceivers’ beliefs. If a new roommate is expected to be friendly and outgoing, Maria may ask her if she likes to go to parties rather than asking if she often studies in the library. Confirmation bias may lead to incomplete and misinterpreted understanding of an issue or topic, as crucial information may be overlooked or dismissed. Thus, to avoid it, people are supposed to diversify the sources of information accessed as seeking multiple perspectives brings a broader understanding of the subject matter and allows for well-rounded decision-making. Another way is to actively challenge the bias by questioning assumptions and relying on evidence rather than personal opinions, which helps us consciously recognize informational biases and minimize their impact. 28. Why do people show confirmation bias? A. To help maintain their dignity. B. To prevent shallow judgements. C. To handle complex information. D. To develop their logical reasoning. 29. What did the studies in Paragraph 3 find? A. People couldn’t produce arguments against their belief. B. Information supporting people’s belief often won preference. C. It took considerable motivation to face controversial issues. D. People focused on information concerning the opposing side. 30. How does the writer illustrate confirmation bias in communication? A. By making comparison. B. By giving an example. C. By introducing a study. D. By defining a concept. 31. What is the passage mainly about? A. The role of my-side bias in enhancing people’s own beliefs. B. The effects of information overload on decision-making process. C. The impact of confirmation bias on interpersonal communication. D. Understanding of confirmation bias and strategies to overcome it. D Just as damaged teeth can be replaced with gold crowns (齿冠), scientists are exploring how gold can be used to repair damaged parts of the brain. Scientists at Linkoping University in Sweden said that a “brain of gold” might just be what we need to fight nervous system diseases. The plan is to put gold electrodes (电极) into the affected part of the brain. They will act as “telephone operators” between nerve cells and electronic medical devices, enabling communication so that the nervous system can function normally. Treatment plans that involve connecting medical devices to the brain already exist. However, the electrodes used are usually made of hard metals, while the brain is like a jelly that “shakes” at the body’s slightest movement. “As the body is constantly in motion, achieving close contact between something that is hard and something that is soft and breakable becomes a problem,” explained Klas Tybrandt, one of the scientists. This is why the Swedish scientists are using a new material called “gold nanowires” (金纳米线). As the name suggests, these are long, extremely thin gold threads — 1,000 times thinner than human hair. By putting them into rubber, the scientists have successfully created electrodes that are soft enough to connect comfortably with the human brain. Gold can be made into structures as small as nanowires. According to Live Science, gold can be stretched, pressed or even rolled into all kinds of shapes without breaking. What’s more, gold doesn’t react with other chemicals in the human brain, making it a safe choice. Once placed in the brain, gold nanowires can last for at least three years, which is longer than many materials currently in use. 32. What role will gold electrodes play in treating nervous system diseases? A. Replacing damaged nerve cells. B. Serving as a communication link. C. Activating different brain regions. D. Protecting the brain’s unaffected parts. 33. What can we learn about gold nanowires? A. They are harder than rubber. B. They are as thin as human hair. C. They can be placed into the brain. D. They are in the final stage of development. 34. Why is gold a safe choice for use in the brain? A. It can be stretched by the brain. B. It can be made into various shapes. C. It is being used to create soft electrodes. D. It has no negative impact on the brain’s functions. 35. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The unique properties of gold nanowires. B. The history of gold use in the medical field. C. The current applications of gold in the brain. D. The potential use of gold in nervous system treatment. 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 The “Chong Yang Festival” is celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, which is also known as the Double Ninth Festival. ___36___.

My dad found her at work. She was wandering and starving. He took one look at her, and said, “Seems like you could use a good home.” He opened up the door to his truck and she jumped in. Her tail wagged (摇动) all the way. I was still at school when dad arrived home with the puppy. Mom and dad fed her and gave her a bath. This would be my first pet. I had always wanted a dog. My parents told me when I was old enough and responsible, I could have one. Well, I guess they figured the time was right. When I walked back home, a white and black puppy with a red bow stuck to her head greeted me with many many puppy kisses. A wild joy took hold of me and a very special friendship was born that day. Now she needed a name. My older brother laughed at her and said her tail didn’t wag back and forth like others, but went in a circle. He moved his finger around his ear, and said, “She’s squirrely”.

C 【解析】 【原文】W: I live on an island off the west coast of Scotland. I love it here but a trip to the cinema means a 55-minute boat journey as well as a half-hour drive to the nearest town. That’s why we all get so excited about the Screen Machine. It’s a mobile cinema that travels round the Scottish islands, visiting 23 different areas in turn every seven weeks, and sometimes we get to see the latest movies. You can’t miss the huge, bright blue Screen Machine when it comes into the car park. It takes an hour for it to be transformed into a comfortable, air-conditioned 80-seat cinema. It’s amazing. I really admire the Screen Machine’s driver. Of course, he screens the film. And there is always another person selling tickets. They need a repairman, too. The salt in the sea air isn’t good for the truck’s engines and they can break down. Ticket prices are very reasonable, so as you can imagine, as soon as the Screen Machine arrives, the ticket office phone starts ringing. We can now also book in advance on the Screen Machine website, which makes it even more convenient. And that’s the way most people choose now. It’s an amazing service and much better than a long journey across the sea to the cinema. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17.

We have some cold weather headed toward us this Thursday evening. It will start raining tonight around five or six. And the temperature will drop below freezing overnight, which means snow during the night! I predict it will pile up to three or four inches. In the morning, it may get even more dangerous. The snow may turn into frozen rain and become ice everywhere. ​​​​​​​Even though the town is putting salt on the roads to prepare for the weather, the roads will still be very icy and bad to drive on. High schools around the area have already closed for tomorrow, and the local college is considering shutting. I recommend buying a lot of food and water and staying inside for the next one or two days. It may take a while for the ice to melt and the trucks to push all the snow off the road. Thanks for listening in to this update, and please be careful out there. 二、阅读理解：本大题共15小题，共37.5分。 A Useful TEFL Sites Askmytutor It’s always heartwarming to see a professional offering to answer questions sent in by students over the net, and this is clearly the strongest aspect of this TEFL site.

In a recent experiment, the researchers tasked OpenAI’s ChatGPT with generating poems in the styles of famous poets, then presented 1,634 participants with ten poems — five human-written and five chatbot-generated — and assessed how people rated the poems based on 14 qualities, including rhythm and originality. Interestingly, they tended to rate the AI-generated poems higher on average, suggesting a preference for their straightforwardness and clarity. Why readers seem to prefer AI-generated poetry is not entirely clear, but the researchers’ best guess is that the AI poems may be more appealing because they are relatively straightforward and simple to comprehend. “Emily Dickinson sometimes breaks the expected rhyme scheme (韵律) on purpose,” says Brian Porter, a researcher at the University of Pittsburgh, “But the AI-generated poems in her style never did that once.” Besides, modern readers don’t seem to want to bother themselves to read deep to think critically. Instead, they prefer texts giving them instant answers. “When readers say they prefer AI poetry, they would seem to be showing their frustration when faced with writing that does not yield to their attention,” he adds. While the findings raise concerns about AI potentially replacing human artists and putting them out of work one day, Dorothea Lasky, the only living poet whose writings were included in the experiments, says it’s not necessarily a bad thing that readers enjoyed the AI-generated poems. “Poetry will always be necessary,” Lasky says, “If they read AI poems and like that poem better than a human-generated poem, then that, to me, is beautiful. They have a good experience with a poem, and I don’t care who wrote it. I feel there is room for all poets — even robot poets.” This study provided a platform for the intersection of technology and creativity, prompting reflection on the future of poetry and artistic expression. 24. Why did the researchers conduct the experiment? A. To create a technique. B. To clarify a concept. C. To detail an example. D. To confirm a finding. 25. What does the example of Emily Dickinson imply? A. Robots are more complicated than humans. B. AI meets modern readers’ reading preference. C. Chatbot is trained to write in creative patterns. D. Classic poetry lacks unique charming features. 26. Which belief does Dorothea Lasky have about poetry? A. All flowers bloom together. B. No dish suits all tastes. C. It’s no use crying over spilt milk. D. Time and tide wait for no man. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Will Poets Be lost in AI Era? B. ChatGPT: a New Advancement C. Fake or Real — a Concern about AI D. ChatGPT or Dickinson, Who is better? 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究表明，人们可能会喜欢聊天机器人制作的诗歌，因为他们的简单明了的图像，情感和主题，为此科学家进行了一项研究。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A new study suggests people might like chatbot-produced poems for their simple and straightforward images, emotions and themes.(一项新的研究表明，人们可能会喜欢聊天机器人制作的诗歌，因为他们的简单明了的图像，情感和主题。)”和第二段“In a recent experiment, the researchers tasked OpenAI’s ChatGPT with generating poems in the styles of famous poets, then presented 1,634 participants with ten poems — five human-written and five chatbot-generated — and assessed how people rated the poems based on 14 qualities, including rhythm and originality.(在最近的一项实验中，研究人员让OpenAI的ChatGPT以著名诗人的风格生成诗歌，然后向1634名展示了十首诗——五首是人类写的，五首是聊天机器人生成的——并评估了人们对这些诗的14种品质的评分，节奏和原创性。)”可推知，研究人员进行这项实验的目的是确认一个发现——人们可能会喜欢聊天机器人制作的诗歌，故选D。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Why readers seem to prefer AI-generated poetry is not entirely clear, but the researchers’ best guess is that the AI poems may be more appealing because they are relatively straightforward and simple to comprehend. “Emily Dickinson sometimes breaks the expected rhyme scheme (韵律) on purpose,” says Brian Porter, a researcher at the University of Pittsburgh, “But the AI-generated poems in her style never did that once.”(为什么读者似乎更喜欢AI生成的诗歌并不完全清楚，但是研究人员的最佳猜测是，AI诗可能更具吸引力，因为它们相对简单明了，简单地理解。匹兹堡大学的研究员布莱恩·波特（Brian Porter）说：“艾米丽·迪金森有时会故意打破预期的韵律。但是AI生成的她的风格的诗歌从未那样做过一次（打破预期的韵律）。)”可推知，艾米丽·迪金森（Emily Dickinson）的例子暗示了AI满足现代读者的阅读偏好——人们喜欢简单明了的内容。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“ “Poetry will always be necessary,” Lasky says, “If they read AI poems and like that poem better than a human-generated poem, then that, to me, is beautiful. They have a good experience with a poem, and I don’t care who wrote it. I feel there is room for all poets— even robot poets.”(“诗歌将永远是必要的，”拉斯基说，“如果他们阅读人工智能的诗，并且比人类创作的诗更喜欢那首诗，那么在我看来，这是美丽的。我不在乎是谁写的，只要他们有一段很好的诗歌体验。我觉得所有的诗人都有空间——即使是机器人诗人。”)”可知，Dorothea Lasky认为无论是机器人还是人写诗，只要写出好的诗歌便是好的，由此可推知，他认为诗歌写作应该是百花齐放，故选A。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“A new study suggests people might like chatbot-produced poems for their simple and straightforward images, emotions and themes.(一项新的研究表明，人们可能会喜欢聊天机器人制作的诗歌，因为他们的简单明了的图像，情感和主题。)”可知，文章主要介绍了一项新的研究表明，人们可能会喜欢聊天机器人制作的诗歌，因为他们的简单明了的图像，情感和主题，为此科学家进行了一项研究，由此可知，文章主要探讨了人工智能作的诗和诗人写出的诗，哪个更受欢迎，D项“Chatgpt或Dickinson，谁更好？”能概括文章内容，故选D。 C Confirmation bias refers to people’s tendency to seek out information that supports their existing beliefs. While it’s usually subconscious, its impacts are significant. It can cloud people’s judgement and decision-making processes. One explanation for confirmation bias is that it is an efficient way to process information. Humans are constantly fed with information and cannot possibly take the time to carefully process each piece. It is adaptive for humans to rely on subconscious, automatic judgements that contribute to the efficiency. Another reason why people show confirmation bias is to protect their self-worth. People like to feel good about themselves, and discovering a belief they highly value is incorrect makes them feel bad about themselves. Therefore, confirmation bias will encourage them to disregard the information contrary to their belief. Researches show that confirmation bias is strong and widespread. In studies examining my-side bias, people were able to generate and remember more reasons supporting their side of a controversial issue than the opposing side. Only when a researcher directly asked people to generate arguments against their own beliefs were they able to do so. It is not that people are incapable of generating arguments that are contrary to their beliefs, but, rather, people are not motivated to do so. Confirmation bias also surfaces in interpersonal communication. When interacting with people who perceivers think have certain personalities, the perceivers will ask questions that are biased toward supporting the perceivers’ beliefs. If a new roommate is expected to be friendly and outgoing, Maria may ask her if she likes to go to parties rather than asking if she often studies in the library. Confirmation bias may lead to incomplete and misinterpreted understanding of an issue or topic, as crucial information may be overlooked or dismissed. Thus, to avoid it, people are supposed to diversify the sources of information accessed as seeking multiple perspectives brings a broader understanding of the subject matter and allows for well-rounded decision-making. Another way is to actively challenge the bias by questioning assumptions and relying on evidence rather than personal opinions, which helps us consciously recognize informational biases and minimize their impact. 28. Why do people show confirmation bias? A. To help maintain their dignity. B. To prevent shallow judgements. C. To handle complex information. D. To develop their logical reasoning. 29. What did the studies in Paragraph 3 find? A. People couldn’t produce arguments against their belief. B. Information supporting people’s belief often won preference. C. It took considerable motivation to face controversial issues. D. People focused on information concerning the opposing side. 30. How does the writer illustrate confirmation bias in communication? A. By making comparison. B. By giving an example. C. By introducing a study. D. By defining a concept. 31. What is the passage mainly about? A. The role of my-side bias in enhancing people’s own beliefs. B. The effects of information overload on decision-making process. C. The impact of confirmation bias on interpersonal communication. D. Understanding of confirmation bias and strategies to overcome it. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了确认偏误的理解及其克服策略。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Another reason why people show confirmation bias is to protect their self-worth. People like to feel good about themselves, and discovering a belief they highly value is incorrect makes them feel bad about themselves. (人们表现出确认偏误的另一个原因是保护自我价值。人们喜欢对自己有良好的感觉，而发现自己高度认同的信念是错误的会让他们自我感觉糟糕)”可知，人们表现出确认偏误的另一个原因是为了保护他们的自我价值。换句话说，是为了帮助他们保持尊严。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“In studies examining my-side bias, people were able to generate and remember more reasons supporting their side of a controversial issue than the opposing side. (在研究“我方偏误”的实验中，人们能够生成并记住更多支持自己在一项有争议问题上立场的理由，而不是反对立场的理由)”可知，支持人们信念的信息往往更受欢迎。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段中“When interacting with people who perceivers think have certain personalities, the perceivers will ask questions that are biased toward supporting the perceivers’ beliefs. If a new roommate is expected to be friendly and outgoing, Maria may ask her if she likes to go to parties rather than asking if she often studies in the library. (在与人们认为具有某种性格的人互动时，感知者会提出倾向于支持自己信念的偏见性问题。如果玛丽亚认为新室友友好且外向，她可能会问她是否喜欢参加聚会，而不是问她是否经常在图书馆学习)”可知，文中通过举Maria与新室友交往的例子来说明确认偏误在交流中的表现，即作者是运用举例的写作手法。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“Confirmation bias refers to people’s tendency to seek out information that supports their existing beliefs. While it’s usually subconscious, its impacts are significant. It can cloud people’s judgement and decision-making processes. (确认偏误指的是人们倾向于寻找支持自己现有信念的信息。尽管这通常是潜意识的，但其影响却十分重大。它会使人们的判断和决策过程变得模糊)”和最后一段“Confirmation bias may lead to incomplete and misinterpreted understanding of an issue or topic, as crucial information may be overlooked or dismissed. Thus, to avoid it, people are supposed to diversify the sources of information accessed as seeking multiple perspectives brings a broader understanding of the subject matter and allows for well-rounded decision-making. Another way is to actively challenge the bias by questioning assumptions and relying on evidence rather than personal opinions, which helps us consciously recognize informational biases and minimize their impact. (确认偏误可能导致对某个问题或话题的理解不完整和误解，因为关键信息可能会被忽视或驳回。因此，为了避免这种情况，人们应该多样化信息来源，因为从多个角度获取信息有助于更全面地理解主题，并做出周全的决策。另一种方法是主动挑战偏见，通过质疑假设并依赖证据而非个人意见，这有助于我们有意识地识别信息偏见并最大限度地减少其影响)”可知，文章主要讲述了对确认偏误的理解以及克服它的策略。故选D。 D Just as damaged teeth can be replaced with gold crowns (齿冠), scientists are exploring how gold can be used to repair damaged parts of the brain. Scientists at Linkoping University in Sweden said that a “brain of gold” might just be what we need to fight nervous system diseases. The plan is to put gold electrodes (电极) into the affected part of the brain. They will act as “telephone operators” between nerve cells and electronic medical devices, enabling communication so that the nervous system can function normally. Treatment plans that involve connecting medical devices to the brain already exist. However, the electrodes used are usually made of hard metals, while the brain is like a jelly that “shakes” at the body’s slightest movement. “As the body is constantly in motion, achieving close contact between something that is hard and something that is soft and breakable becomes a problem,” explained Klas Tybrandt, one of the scientists. This is why the Swedish scientists are using a new material called “gold nanowires” (金纳米线). As the name suggests, these are long, extremely thin gold threads — 1,000 times thinner than human hair. By putting them into rubber, the scientists have successfully created electrodes that are soft enough to connect comfortably with the human brain. Gold can be made into structures as small as nanowires. According to Live Science, gold can be stretched, pressed or even rolled into all kinds of shapes without breaking. What’s more, gold doesn’t react with other chemicals in the human brain, making it a safe choice. Once placed in the brain, gold nanowires can last for at least three years, which is longer than many materials currently in use. 32. What role will gold electrodes play in treating nervous system diseases? A. Replacing damaged nerve cells. B. Serving as a communication link. C. Activating different brain regions. D. Protecting the brain’s unaffected parts. 33. What can we learn about gold nanowires? A. They are harder than rubber. B. They are as thin as human hair. C. They can be placed into the brain. D. They are in the final stage of development. 34. Why is gold a safe choice for use in the brain? A. It can be stretched by the brain. B. It can be made into various shapes. C. It is being used to create soft electrodes. D. It has no negative impact on the brain’s functions. 35. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The unique properties of gold nanowires. B. The history of gold use in the medical field. C. The current applications of gold in the brain. D. The potential use of gold in nervous system treatment. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是瑞典Linkoping大学的科学家们正在探索如何使用黄金来修复大脑受损部分，以对抗神经系统疾病。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The plan is to put gold electrodes (电极) into the affected part of the brain. They will act as “telephone operators” between nerve cells and electronic medical devices, enabling communication so that the nervous system can function normally.(该计划是将金电极放入大脑受影响的部分。它们将充当神经细胞和电子医疗设备之间的‘电话接线员’，使神经系统能够正常运作。)”可知，金电极在治疗神经系统疾病方面的作用是作为通信连接。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“This is why the Swedish scientists are using a new material called “gold nanowires” (金纳米线). As the name suggests, these are long, extremely thin gold threads — 1,000 times thinner than human hair. By putting them into rubber, the scientists have successfully created electrodes that are soft enough to connect comfortably with the human brain.(这就是为什么瑞典科学家使用一种名为“金纳米线”的新材料。顾名思义，这些都是又长又细的金线，比人的头发细1000倍。通过将它们放入橡胶中，科学家们成功地制造出了足够柔软的电极，可以舒适地与人类大脑连接。)”以及最后一段“Once placed in the brain, gold nanowires can last for at least three years, which is longer than many materials currently in use.(一旦植入大脑，金纳米线可以持续使用至少三年，这比目前使用的许多材料都要长。)”可知，金纳米线比人的头发细1000倍、可以被植入大脑。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“What’s more, gold doesn’t react with other chemicals in the human brain, making it a safe choice.(更重要的是，黄金不会与人脑中的其他化学物质发生反应，因此它是一个安全的选择。)”可知，大脑中使用黄金是安全的选择是因为它对大脑功能没有负面影响。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Just as damaged teeth can be replaced with gold crowns (齿冠), scientists are exploring how gold can be used to repair damaged parts of the brain.(就像损坏的牙齿可以用金冠代替一样，科学家们正在探索如何用黄金来修复大脑受损的部分。)”可知，本文主要讲的是瑞典Linkoping University的科学家们正在探索如何使用黄金来修复大脑受损部分，以对抗神经系统疾病，因此D选项“The potential use of gold in nervous system treatment.(黄金在神经系统治疗中的潜在应用。)”能够概括文章主旨。故选D。 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 The “Chong Yang Festival” is celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, which is also known as the Double Ninth Festival. ___36___.

Studies of the Galaxy's ancient stars offer some clues, as do simulations (模拟), ___57___ the observable light from our home galaxy (星系) was emitted (发出) too recently ___58___ (enable) astronomers to examine its beginnings directly. One way around this problem is to study other galaxies that resemble the Milky Way. Mowla used observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to investigate ___59___ distant galaxy with a mass that matches the expected mass of the Milky Way ___60___ (short) after its formation in the early universe. When astronomers observe distant galaxies, they see light that was emitted billions of years ago, because it takes time ___61___light to travel across space to their telescopes. ___62___ (earth) distance from such far­away galaxies, and thus how long ago their light was emitted, can be measured, thanks to the constant ___63___ (expand) of the universe. As light journeys across the vastness of space, its wavelength is stretched along with the expanding fabric of space, ___64___ (make) it seem redder than it was when it was emitted. And the change in the wavelength ___65___ (determine) by the distance the light travels and the age of the universe at the time of emission. 【答案】56. happened 57. but 58. to enable 59. a 60. shortly 61. for 62. Earth’s 63. expansion 64. making 65. is determined 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了天文学家通过研究其他星系来了解银河系的形成过程，以及观测遥远星系时涉及的光传播原理和宇宙膨胀现象。 【56题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：银河系形成于约135亿年前，但我们无法回到过去确切观察它是如何形成的。句中“formed around 13.5 billion years ago”明确表示过去发生的动作，需用一般过去时，动词happen的过去式为happened。故填happened。 【57题详解】 考查连词。句意：对银河系古老恒星的研究和模拟提供了一些线索，但我们所在星系的可观测光发出得太近，天文学家无法直接研究它的起源。前文“offer some clues”与后文“the observable light...was emitted too recently”存在转折关系，故填并列连词but。故填but。 【58题详解】 考查固定搭配。句意：同上。“too ... to do sth.”是固定结构，意为“太……而不能做某事”，因此此处填enable的不定式形式to enable。故填to enable。 【59题详解】 考查冠词。句意：莫拉利用詹姆斯・韦伯太空望远镜（JWST）的观测数据，研究了一个质量与银河系在宇宙早期形成后不久预期质量相符的遥远星系。“investigate”后接具体的研究对象，distant galaxy是单数可数名词，且表泛指，需用不定冠词a。故填a。 【60题详解】 考查副词。句意：同上。此处修饰动词短语“after its formation”，需用short的副词形式shortly，“shortly after”表示“在……之后不久”。故填shortly。 【61题详解】 考查介词。句意：当天文学家观测遥远星系时，他们看到的是数十亿年前发出的光，因为光需要花费时间穿越浩瀚太空到达望远镜。“it takes time for sth. to do sth.”是固定句型，意为“某物花费时间做某事”，因此此处填介词for。故填for。 【62题详解】 考查名词所有格。句意：从这些遥远星系到地球的距离是已知的，因此它们发出的光的时间长度可以被测量，这要归功于宇宙的持续膨胀。此处表示“地球的距离”，需用名词所有格形式Earth’s修饰名词distance，置于句首时，首字母要大写。故填Earth’s。 【63题详解】 考查名词。句意：同上。空格前为形容词constant，且“the constant + 名词”构成名词短语，故需填expand的名词形式expansion，表抽象“膨胀”，不可数。故填expansion。 【64题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：当光穿越浩瀚太空时，其波长会随着太空的膨胀而拉伸，使其发出时的颜色看起来更红。is stretched作主句谓语，make应用非谓语形式作结果状语，逻辑主语为前面整个句子，与make为主动关系，需用现在分词形式making。故填making。 【65题详解】 考查时态和语态。句意：而波长的变化取决于光传播的距离以及光发出时宇宙的年龄。主语“the change in the wavelength”与动词determine之间是被动关系，且描述客观事实，需用一般现在时的被动语态，determine的过去分词形式为determined，主语为单数，因此此处填is determined。故填is determined。 六、书面表达：本大题共1小题，共15分。 66. 假定你是李华，你班的英语报要增设一个栏目。外教 Jenny 提出“Fun at my school”和“Guess who I am”两个选项供大家选择。请给Jenny写一封邮件，内容包括： (1)你的选择； (2)说明理由。 注意： (1)写作词数应为80个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Jenny, I really like the idea of adding a new column to our English newspaper. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】One possible version: Dear Jenny, I really like the idea of adding a new column to our English newspaper. I’m writing to express that my predilection goes to “Guess who I am”, which capitalizes on an object clause to signal its potential contents. The column will serve as a catalyst for closer bonds between students. Redoubling efforts to boost academic performance, we pay little heed to other classmates’ personalities, hobbies, strengths, and even aspirations. Such an inviting column, adopting a “description and guess” approach, must expose everyone to others’ characteristics, thus strengthening mutual understanding. More importantly, more friendships will be forged, since the column enables us to befriend someone on the same wavelength. This eye-catching column, I’m firmly convinced, won’t fail to grant the whole class a harmonious atmosphere. Yours, Li Hua 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生就外教Jenny提出的校英文报增设一个栏目，在“Fun at my school”和“Guess who I am”两个选项中给出自己的推荐，并说明理由。 【详解】1.词汇积累 表达：express → convey 利用：capitalize on → use 担当：serve as → act as 注意：pay heed to → take notice of 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Such an inviting column, adopting a “description and guess” approach, must expose everyone to others’ characteristics, thus strengthening mutual understanding. 拓展句：Such an inviting column, which adopts a “description and guess” approach, must expose everyone to others’ characteristics, thus strengthening mutual understanding. 【点睛】【高分句型1】I’m writing to express that my predilection goes to “Guess who I am”, which capitalizes on an object clause to signal its potential contents.（运用了that引导的宾语从句，which引导的定语从句） 【高分句型2】More importantly, more friendships will be forged, since the column enables us to befriend someone on the same wavelength.（运用了since引导的状语从句） 七、任务型读写：本大题共1小题，共25分。 67. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 She came into my life when I was seven years old.

Her tail wagged (摇动) all the way. I was still at school when dad arrived home with the puppy. Mom and dad fed her and gave her a bath. This would be my first pet. I had always wanted a dog. My parents told me when I was old enough and responsible, I could have one. Well, I guess they figured the time was right. When I walked back home, a white and black puppy with a red bow stuck to her head greeted me with many many puppy kisses. A wild joy took hold of me and a very special friendship was born that day. Now she needed a name. My older brother laughed at her and said her tail didn’t wag back and forth like others, but went in a circle. He moved his finger around his ear, and said, “She’s squirrely”.

Every time she saw me, she would greet me with many gentle kisses, wagging her tail in circles. After school, I would walk her in the neighborhood, running, talking and laughing. When I gave her a bath, she would stare at me and kiss my hands gently, as if to say:“Thank you, my friend!”Also, I fed her and taught her to play hide and seek. With time passing by, we spent our days learning and growing together. However, arthritis (关节炎) hit my best friend when she was 12. She seemed so painful and could barely walk. I carried her to see the vet in a hurry, but was told there was no special treatment for the disease caused by old age. Seeing her suffering so much, I felt heart-broken. All I could do was to accompany her all the time. Three weeks later, she left me quietly. I buried her in the yard, where we had a lot of fun. I knew my good friend would be with me always. 【解析】 【导语】本文以故事的时间顺序展开，讲述了作者从小喜欢小狗，在长大以后，父亲给作者带来了一只小狗，二者初次见面就亲密无间，作者还给小狗起了名字为“Squirrel”，一份特殊的友谊就此产生。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Squirrel是一只聪明的狗，给我带来了很多快乐。”可知，第一段可描写小狗给作者带来的快乐是什么。 ②由第二段首句内容“然而，关节炎在我最好的朋友12岁时袭击了她。”可知，第二段可描写作者在小狗生病后是如何照顾她的以及小狗最后的结局是什么。 2.续写线索：小狗迎接作者——作者照顾小狗——二者一起成长——小狗生病去世——作者的感受 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.问候：greet sb./say hello to sb./send regards to sb. ②.凝视：stare at/gaze at/fix one’s eyes on ③.陪伴：accompany sb./keep sb. company 情绪类 ①.伤心：heart-broken/sad/gloomy/sorrowful ②.柔和：gentle/warm/calm and kind 【点睛】[高分句型1].

The film is a total failure. I can't believe IT was directed by that famous director and that my favorite actor started in IT. Do you really think so? I think quite the opposite. mrs. Black, I find everyone is very busy now. Yes, jack, we are a little short of staff this evening. Can I do anything to help? Oh, you're so nice. In fact, i'm asking the chinese for help.

I'd prefer to stay at home and watch T, V. I live on an island off the west coast of scotland. I love IT here, but a trip to the cinema means a fifty five minute boat journey as well as a half hour drive to the nearest town. That's why we all get so excited about the screen machine. It's a mobile cinema that travels round the Scottish islands, visiting twenty three different areas in turn every seven weeks. And sometimes we get to see the latest movies. You can't miss the huge bright blue screen machine. When IT comes into the car park, IT takes an hour for IT to be transformed into a comfortable, air conditioned AD, C. cinema. It's amazing. I really admire the screen machines. The driver, of course, he screams the film. And there is always another person selling tickets. They need a repairman to the salt in the sea. Air isn't good for the trucks, engines, and they can break down. Ticket Prices are very reasonable, so as you can imagine, as soon as the screen machine arrives, the ticket office phones starts ringing. We can now also book in advance on the screen machine website, which makes me even more convenient, and that's the way most people choose now. It's an amazing service and much Better than a long journey across the sea to the cinema. Have you been shopping today?

I have some breaking weather news updates for you. We have some cold weather headed toward us this thursday evening. IT will start raining tonight around five or six, and the temperature will drop below freezing overnight, which means snow during the night. I predict that will pile up to three or four inches in the morning. IT may get even more dangerous. The snow may turn into frozen rain and become ice everywhere, even though the town is putting salt on the roads to prepare for the weather, the roads will still be very icy and bad to drive on. High schools around the area have already closed for tomorrow, and the local college is considering shutting. I recommend buying a lot of food and water and staying inside for the next one two days. IT may take a while for the ice to melt and the trucks to push all the snow off the road. Thanks for listening in to this update, and please be careful out there.
