二、单项选择(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
1. I believe ________ important for everyone to keep calm in danger.
A. one B. it C. this D. that
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:我相信对于每个人来说,在危险中保持冷静是重要的。
one一个;it它;this这个;that那个。固定结构“believe+it+adj.+for sb.+to do sth.”,其中it作形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的动词不定式短语to keep calm in danger。故选it。
2. There is no way to prevent natural disasters ________ we can get prepared for them.
A. and B. but C. so D. all
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:无法阻止自然灾害,但是我们可以为它们做好准备。
and和;but但是;so因此;all全部。根据“There is no way to prevent natural disasters... we can get prepared for them.”可知,前半句表示无法阻止,后半句表示可以准备,前后表转折关系,应填but。
3. —You look worried. What’s up?
—My computer doesn’t work. It requires ________.
A. fix B. to fix C. fixing D. fixed
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你看起来忧心忡忡。怎么了?——我的电脑坏了。它需要修理。
fix修理,动词原形;to fix是动词不定式;fixing是动名词或动词的现在分词;fixed是动词的过去式或过去分词。require doing sth.意为“需要被做某事”,主动形式表被动含义。主语It“它”指代电脑,与fix之间是被动关系,所以用fixing。
4. Sandy is such a ________ girl that she never talks about her high grades.
A. modest B. curious C. polite D. patient
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:桑迪是一个如此谦虚的女孩,以至于她从不谈论自己的高分。
modest谦虚的;curious好奇的;polite有礼貌的;patient耐心的。根据后半句“she never talks about her high grades”可知,她不夸耀成绩,说明她“谦虚”。modest符合语境。
5. Maybe we will meet different kinds of difficulties in the future, but we should be confident enough to ________ any challenge.
A. put on B. get on C. try on D. take on
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:也许我们在未来会遇到各种各样的困难,但我们应该足够自信去应对任何挑战。
put on穿上;get on上车;try on试穿;take on承担;应对。根据“be confident enough to...any challenge”可知,此处表示有信心去“应对/承担”挑战。故选take on。
6. —Do you agree that the girl called Rika is the most suitable person to give the speech?
—I can’t agree more. Her smiling eyes always look ________ shining stars.
A. as well as B. as much as C. as long as D. as good as
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你同意那个叫丽卡的女孩是最适合做演讲的人吗? ——我完全同意。她微笑的眼睛总是像闪亮的星星一样美丽。
考查连词辨析。as well as和……一样好,修饰副词;as much as和……一样多;as long as只要;as good as和……一样好,修饰名词。根据“Her smiling eyes always look...shining stars.”可知,这里是把小女孩微笑的眼睛和闪亮的星星进行比较,修饰名词短语。故选D。
7. No more attention should be paid to ________ about personal gains and losses. Instead, we should care more about the growth of a team.
A. care B. to care C. caring D. being care
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:不应再关注关心个人得失,而我们应多关心团队的成长。
固定搭配pay attention to中to是介词,后接动名词形式。being care是错误表达,故只有caring符合题意。
8. —Do you believe ________ house prices will drop in the following month?
—It’s hard to say. But the government has made up its mind to do so.
A. that B. if C. whether D. when
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你认为下个月房价会下跌吗?——很难说。但是政府已经下定决心这样做了。
that引导宾语从句时,无实义;if是否/如果;whether是否;when什么时候。动词believe后接宾语从句,从句“house prices will drop...”语序完整且表示陈述内容,应用that引导。
9. It’s never ________ to start teaching a child the importance of good manners.
A. too late B. too early C. early enough D. late enough
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:教育孩子懂得礼貌的重要性永远不会太早。
考查短语辨析。too late to太迟而不能;too early to太早而不能;early enough to足够早去;late enough to足够迟去。根据“It’s never…to start teaching a child the importance of good manners.”可知是指教育孩子懂得礼貌的重要性永远不会太早,用never too early to do sth.“做某事越早越好”。故选B。
10. —Where are you going to stay when you get to Shanghai?
—I haven’t decided yet. I may live ________ in a hotel ________ in a friend’s house.
A. Not only; but also B. Neither; nor C. Either; or D. Both; and
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你到上海后打算住哪里?——我还没决定。我可能要么住酒店,要么住朋友家。
Not only…but also…不但……而且……;Neither…nor…既不……也不……;Either…or…或者……或者……;Both…and…两者都。根据“I haven’t decided yet.”可知还没决定,说明是在两者之间选择一个,either… or…表示“或者……或者……”,符合语境。故选C。
11. —I feel stressed recently.
—Poor you. I ________ you to attend a music course to relax yourself.
A. advise B. promise C. suggest D. allow
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——我最近感到压力很大。——我很同情你。我建议你参加一个音乐课程来放松自己。
advise建议;promise承诺;suggest建议;allow允许。advise sb. to do sth.意为“建议某人做某事”;suggest后接doing sth.或that从句,不能接sb. to do sth.。根据上文“感到压力很大”可知此处是提出建议,且空后结构为“you to attend”,符合advise的用法。
12. —Lisa, come here! Can you explain this map for us?
—Sure! Every symbol on the map ________ a different place of interest in the city
A. requires B. replies C. reminds D. represents
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——丽莎,过来!你能给我们解释一下这张地图吗?——当然!地图上的每个符号代表城市里一个不同的名胜古迹。
requires需要;replies回复;reminds提醒;represents代表。根据“Every symbol on the map...a different place of interest”可知,地图上的符号代表实际地点。
13. —Have you decided on ________?
—I’m not sure yet. It depends.
A. if we should have a meeting next week
B. if there is going to be a meeting next week
C. whether we should have a meeting next week
D. whether is there going to be a meeting next week
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你决定我们下周是否开会了吗?——我还不确定。视情况而定。
根据“decided on”可知,on是介词,介词后面的宾语从句,表示“是否”的含义时,连接词只能用whether,不能用if,排除选项A和B;宾语从句需用陈述语序,D选项为疑问语序,排除。选项C中的连接词和语序都正确。
14. The following text says ________ if the weather gets better.
Dear Mum,
We’re staying in the mountains with my friend longer than we thought because of the heavy rain. We’ll make a trip to the beach before returning home if the sun comes out.
Tom
A. Tom will go to the beach B. Tom will visit a friend
C. Tom will stay in the mountains longer D. Tom will return home directly
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:下面的文字说如果天气变好,汤姆将去海滩。
go to the beach去海滩;visit a friend拜访朋友;stay in the mountains longer在山里待更久;return home directly直接回家。根据文中“We’ll make a trip to the beach before returning home if the sun comes out.”可知,if the sun comes out对应题干中的if the weather gets better,此时计划是make a trip to the beach,即去海滩。
15. —It’s said that people born in the Year of the Sheep are gentle.
—Maybe, but for my mother, ________. In fact, she gets angry easily.
A. that’s all right B. that’s not the case
C. that’s out of question D. that’s not the point
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——据说羊年出生的人很温柔。——也许吧,但对我妈妈来说,情况并非如此。事实上,她很容易生气。
that’s all right没关系,多用于回应道歉;that’s not the case情况并非如此,用来否定之前的说法;that’s out of question毫无疑问,表肯定认同;that’s not the point这不是重点,用来指出话题偏离核心。 前者说“据说属羊的人性格温和”,后半句补充“我妈妈很容易生气”,说明要否定前面的普遍说法,只有B选项“that’s not the case”符合情景。

Chinese paper-cutting, or jianzhi, is a folk art which uses scissors or knives to cut paper for festive decoration or other folk activities. Paper-cutting artworks are always made with red paper, as red stands for happiness in Chinese culture. Having a wide mass base in China, paper-cutting has been involved in the social life for different peoples and has presented social values in cognition, amusement and communication, etc.
Traditionally, most paper-cutting was conducted by women. But one young man has inherited this skill, and he demonstrates a remarkable dedication to his craft.
Chang Yangyang, a man from the post-90s generation, is an heir to the provincial level intangible cultural heritage Menglin-style paper-cutting in Central China’s Henan Province.
Born in a paper-cutting family, he learned the skill from his grandmother since childhood and has a strong interest in it. Even when he started to work, he never stopped practising.
By chance, he took part in the national paper-cutting competition, and won third place. After his strong showing, he realized this could be a career (事业), so he quit his job and went back to his home town. He visited many predecessors of paper-cutting, learned skills and opened a studio. Referring to his studio, Chang said, “It was very difficult at first, because young people like fashionable things and paper-cutting is usually related to the countryside and traditional folk customs.”
But he was not discouraged. He often puts a table and a chair in front of the studio and sits there to do paper-cutting, and tells people the meaning of the art form. His exquisite skills not only surprise audiences, but also leave a deep impression on people.

A. It explains the reasons why Chang Yangyang makes paper-cutting.
B. It introduces the history of Chinese paper-cutting.
C. It presents basic information about Chinese paper-cutting.
D. It describes the steps to make Chinese paper-cutting.

31. Which statement is right according to the passage?
A. Chang Yangyang’s grandmother came third in one competition.
B. Most people were interested in paper-cutting when he opened his studio.
C. Chang Yangyang decided his career after winning a national competition.
D. Chang Yangyang only sold his works online and seldom communicated with people.

(C)
As usual, Amber was hurrying to catch the yellow school bus. Luckily the traffic lights turned green as she was to cross the road, so she made it. When the bus passed a golden arch (拱形门), it reminded her of a hamburger. She hadn’t had breakfast that morning because the fruit salad on the blue dish didn’t look delicious at all. However, Amber remembered that she was still on a diet. So now she was really in a black mood.
You may have noticed that several colours were used in the above story so as to help describe Amber’s morning. In fact, colours influence your life more than you can ever imagine. Take language for example: You may describe a sick person as being “a bit green”. To describe sadness, you say that the person is “feeling blue”. In short, colours do add interest to daily conversations.
Besides, colours can be used in many parts of your daily life. Have you ever thought about why many school buses and taxis are painted yellow, and stop signs red? Since yellow is the most eye-catching colour, it can catch people’s attention, especially in heavy traffic. As for red, it is the colour which usually shows warning. As a result, some traffic signs use this colour. For the same reason, hot-water taps are usually marked red.
The colours of a dining environment possibly decide how much you eat. Most fast-food restaurants are often decorated in bright colours such as red, yellow, orange, and white for the purpose of increasing people’s appetites (胃口). This is because bright colours are natural colours found in many foods, and, therefore, able to raise people’s spirits. Blue, in comparison (对比) with bright colours, is said to lower people’s appetites because few foods are blue in nature. For those who are on a diet, blue dishes and bowls might help!
“Morning, Amber! What happened? You look a bit green,” said Violet, Amber’s best friend.
“Nothing… just feeling… blue,” said Amber.
“Hey! Come to my place tonight. Do you know what I just bought? A phone! It’s red-hot.”
Amber was tickled pink to have the chance to play with the phone and said, “Sounds great!”
32. According to the passage, what might help if you are on a diet?
A. Putting your food in a blue dish or bowl.
B. Turning on a yellow light during the meal.
C. Painting the walls of the dining room white.
D. Covering the dining table with an orange cloth.
33. Why are most school buses painted yellow?
A. It tells other drivers to prepare to stop
B. It helps bus drivers stay in a good mood
C. It can easily catch other people’s attention
D. It is the colour that most school children like
34. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Colours influence people’s daily lives.
B. Fast-food restaurants are painted the same colour.
C. Yellow catches attention while red sends a warning.
D. Colours make daily conversations more interesting.
35. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A. Amber didn’t like eating breakfast at all.
B. Amber cheered up at Violet’s invitation at last.
C. Violet didn’t know how colours influenced our lives.
D. The arch is painted gold only to make it beautiful.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. B

阅读以下内容,从其后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,有两项是多余的。
Scientists have created an underwater robot and it can tell different kinds of pollution at the bottom of the sea. ___36___ It can also give them a chance to remove the things that can cause the most harm to the environment. The robot weighs nearly 100 pounds and uses special cameras to take 3D pictures. It was created by a team at Skarv Technologies.
___37___ First, the robot swam up and down in rows at about six feet above the lake bed, collecting information with the special cameras. Then a computer turned the information into a map, which showed different kinds of rubbish in different colors.
A total of 3,894 objects (物品) were found in the lake and divided into different kinds. “There’s too much rubbish.” a member of the Skarv Technologies team told New Scientist. “___38___”
It is not always possible for clean-up teams to remove all the rubbish they find underwater. ___39___ The robot will be used to help the teams find those unsafe materials. And the teams spend their time, efforts and money in removing them first. “Glass isn’t really polluting,” said Fossum. “So if you know there’s an area with a lot of glass, you probably can ignore that. ___40___ They are putting heavy metals (金属) into the environment.”
Besides helping to check the pollution, the robot can also tell the positions of animals in the sea. It can avoid hurting the animals while the clean-up teams remove the rubbish.
A. There is somewhere around 165 to 300 tons of rubbish in the lake.
B. The robot can clean the rubbish on the ground on its own.
C. In addition, some items are more important to clean than others.
D. The researchers put their work to the test at a lake.
E. Instead, you should pay more attention to some other things.
F. The robot will help clean-up teams find the rubbish.
G. The robot needs monthly repairs to work properly.
【答案】36. F 37. D 38. A 39. C 40. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了一种由Skarv Technologies团队研发的水下机器人。该机器人能够通过3D摄像头识别海底不同种类的污染物,帮助清理团队优先处理危害最大的物品,同时还能定位海洋动物以避免误伤。

Nowadays, OpenAI company’s ChatGPT, Dall-E and Sora have been a hot topic all around the world. But perhaps most of us have never thought about what it takes to run such intelligent products (智能产品). One thing this technology (技术) depends on may get you surprised-plenty of water!
Why does a computer program need so much water? In fact, in order to have the ability to write like a human, an AI system must first study a large amount (数量) of text written by humans. In the process, it not only uses much electricity (电) but also produces much heat. So, on hot days, computer engineers use water to keep the computers cool.
Microsoft has worked with OpenAI for years. In a recent report, Microsoft shared how much water was used from 2021 to 2022. The total amount of water used in cooling machines is enough to fill more than 2,500 Olympic-sized swimming pools. It is believed the training of AI systems leads to the big rise.
Usually, AI super-computing centers lie in places that are cool for most of the year. These centers can just use outside air to cool the computers. But in summer, the temperature can reach nearly 40℃. The computer engineers have to use a large amount of water to cool all the machines.
ChatGPT also “drinks” water while chatting. Scientists have worked out the environmental costs of using AI products. For a conversation of 20 to 50 questions and answers, ChatGPT uses up a bottle of water, about 500ml. How much water is used doesn’t stay the same for the whole year, and the exact amount of water changes if a machine takes on more work.
Many people haven’t realized the problem. If you don’t know how many resources ChatGPT uses, how can you help to save water? The next time you are amazed at how smart ChatGPT is, think about how much water it’s “drinking”. Why not reduce the time of talking to machines—to help save the Earth’s water resources!
How “thirsty” are AI systems? Around the world, intelligent products are ____61____ actively. However, the fact that much water is used in running them may ____62____ many people.
The ____63____ for using much water
When an AI system learns to ____64____ like a man, it needs electricity and produces heat. Water is used to keep computers cool.
A recent report by Microsoft
From 2021 to 2022, the amount of the water used in cooling machines kept ____65____. The training of the AI system is the cause of it.
The analysis (分析)
The amount of used water is
·connected with where AI super-computing centers ____66____.
·influenced by the high ____67____ in summer.
·not ____68____ all year round and changes when a machine works more.
____69____ on saving water
·Think of it as a problem.
·Save Earth’s water resources by ____70____ to humans more.

Chinese paper-cutting, or jianzhi, is a folk art which uses scissors or knives to cut paper for festive decoration or other folk activities. Paper-cutting artworks are always made with red paper, as red stands for happiness in Chinese culture. Having a wide mass base in China, paper-cutting has been involved in the social life for different peoples and has presented social values in cognition, amusement and communication, etc.
Traditionally, most paper-cutting was conducted by women. But one young man has inherited this skill, and he demonstrates a remarkable dedication to his craft.
Chang Yangyang, a man from the post-90s generation, is an heir to the provincial level intangible cultural heritage Menglin-style paper-cutting in Central China’s Henan Province.
Born in a paper-cutting family, he learned the skill from his grandmother since childhood and has a strong interest in it. Even when he started to work, he never stopped practising.
By chance, he took part in the national paper-cutting competition, and won third place. After his strong showing, he realized this could be a career (事业), so he quit his job and went back to his home town. He visited many predecessors of paper-cutting, learned skills and opened a studio. Referring to his studio, Chang said, “It was very difficult at first, because young people like fashionable things and paper-cutting is usually related to the countryside and traditional folk customs.”
But he was not discouraged. He often puts a table and a chair in front of the studio and sits there to do paper-cutting, and tells people the meaning of the art form. His exquisite skills not only surprise audiences, but also leave a deep impression on people.

As usual, Amber was hurrying to catch the yellow school bus. Luckily the traffic lights turned green as she was to cross the road, so she made it. When the bus passed a golden arch (拱形门), it reminded her of a hamburger. She hadn’t had breakfast that morning because the fruit salad on the blue dish didn’t look delicious at all. However, Amber remembered that she was still on a diet. So now she was really in a black mood.
You may have noticed that several colours were used in the above story so as to help describe Amber’s morning. In fact, colours influence your life more than you can ever imagine. Take language for example: You may describe a sick person as being “a bit green”. To describe sadness, you say that the person is “feeling blue”. In short, colours do add interest to daily conversations.
Besides, colours can be used in many parts of your daily life. Have you ever thought about why many school buses and taxis are painted yellow, and stop signs red? Since yellow is the most eye-catching colour, it can catch people’s attention, especially in heavy traffic. As for red, it is the colour which usually shows warning. As a result, some traffic signs use this colour. For the same reason, hot-water taps are usually marked red.
The colours of a dining environment possibly decide how much you eat. Most fast-food restaurants are often decorated in bright colours such as red, yellow, orange, and white for the purpose of increasing people’s appetites (胃口). This is because bright colours are natural colours found in many foods, and, therefore, able to raise people’s spirits. Blue, in comparison (对比) with bright colours, is said to lower people’s appetites because few foods are blue in nature. For those who are on a diet, blue dishes and bowls might help!
“Morning, Amber! What happened? You look a bit green,” said Violet, Amber’s best friend.
“Nothing… just feeling… blue,” said Amber.
“Hey! Come to my place tonight. Do you know what I just bought? A phone! It’s red-hot.”
Amber was tickled pink to have the chance to play with the phone and said, “Sounds great!”
32. According to the passage, what might help if you are on a diet?
A. Putting your food in a blue dish or bowl.
B. Turning on a yellow light during the meal.
C. Painting the walls of the dining room white.
D. Covering the dining table with an orange cloth.
33. Why are most school buses painted yellow?
A. It tells other drivers to prepare to stop
B. It helps bus drivers stay in a good mood
C. It can easily catch other people’s attention
D. It is the colour that most school children like
34. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Colours influence people’s daily lives.
B. Fast-food restaurants are painted the same colour.
C. Yellow catches attention while red sends a warning.
D. Colours make daily conversations more interesting.
35. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A. Amber didn’t like eating breakfast at all.
B. Amber cheered up at Violet’s invitation at last.
C. Violet didn’t know how colours influenced our lives.
D. The arch is painted gold only to make it beautiful.

Nowadays, OpenAI company’s ChatGPT, Dall-E and Sora have been a hot topic all around the world. But perhaps most of us have never thought about what it takes to run such intelligent products (智能产品). One thing this technology (技术) depends on may get you surprised-plenty of water!
Why does a computer program need so much water? In fact, in order to have the ability to write like a human, an AI system must first study a large amount (数量) of text written by humans. In the process, it not only uses much electricity (电) but also produces much heat. So, on hot days, computer engineers use water to keep the computers cool.
Microsoft has worked with OpenAI for years. In a recent report, Microsoft shared how much water was used from 2021 to 2022. The total amount of water used in cooling machines is enough to fill more than 2,500 Olympic-sized swimming pools. It is believed the training of AI systems leads to the big rise.
Usually, AI super-computing centers lie in places that are cool for most of the year. These centers can just use outside air to cool the computers. But in summer, the temperature can reach nearly 40℃. The computer engineers have to use a large amount of water to cool all the machines.
ChatGPT also “drinks” water while chatting. Scientists have worked out the environmental costs of using AI products. For a conversation of 20 to 50 questions and answers, ChatGPT uses up a bottle of water, about 500ml. How much water is used doesn’t stay the same for the whole year, and the exact amount of water changes if a machine takes on more work.
Many people haven’t realized the problem. If you don’t know how many resources ChatGPT uses, how can you help to save water? The next time you are amazed at how smart ChatGPT is, think about how much water it’s “drinking”. Why not reduce the time of talking to machines—to help save the Earth’s water resources!
How “thirsty” are AI systems? Around the world, intelligent products are ____61____ actively. However, the fact that much water is used in running them may ____62____ many people.
The ____63____ for using much water
When an AI system learns to ____64____ like a man, it needs electricity and produces heat. Water is used to keep computers cool.
A recent report by Microsoft
From 2021 to 2022, the amount of the water used in cooling machines kept ____65____. The training of the AI system is the cause of it.
The analysis (分析)
The amount of used water is
·connected with where AI super-computing centers ____66____.
·influenced by the high ____67____ in summer.
·not ____68____ all year round and changes when a machine works more.
____69____ on saving water
·Think of it as a problem.
·Save Earth’s water resources by ____70____ to humans more.
