B Before planes,people traveled by boat.And getting goods from one place to another took a long time,especially when ships had to sail around continents.In the early 1600s,European trading companies were looking for faster routes to sail to Asia. In 1607 and 1608,British explorer Hemy Hudson led two failed voyages to find a northeast passage across the Arctic Ocean to Asia.He was searching for a route above the Arctic Circle,and his biggest problem was sailing around icebergs ()which blocked his path.After failing twice, Hudson couldn't get a British company to fund his next voyage.He had to persuade the Dutch East India Company to back his third trip. Hudson left Amsterdam on April 4,1609 aboard a ship named the Half Moon.The crew headed southwest across the Atlantic Ocean to America.After several months,he arrived in the New York Harbor and sailed up a body of water that is now named the Hudson River.He thought the river might lead to the Pacific Ocean.But he was wrong,and he was forced to turn back to Europe. Hudson made one final attempt in 1610,on a new ship named Discovery.He sailed Discovery across the northern Atlantic and discovered a large body of water that became known as Hudson Bay. Unfortunately,the Hudson Bay did not lead to Asia.Furthermore,Hudson's luck had run out. Winter weather hit the region and the crew suffered greatly from lack of food and supplies. Discovery had become trapped in thick ice.Hudson's crew became angry.They wanted to return to 共6页 Europe,but Hudson wanted to continue searching for a passage to Asia.When spring came,the crew revolted (and took control of the ship.They put Hudson,his son,and seven others on a small boat somewhere in the Hudson Bay.The crew sailed Discovery back to Europe and those who led the mutiny (were severely punished.Henry Hudson was never seen again. 24.What was the purpose of Hudson's voyages? A.To look for new land B.To seek fame and fortune. C.To do scientific research. D.To find a shorter route to Asia. 25.What does the underlined word "back"in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Arrange.B.Follow. C.Support. D.Value. 26.Where did Hudson arrive during his third voyage? A.Asia. B.The Hudson River. C.Hudson Bay. D.The Pacific Ocean. 27.What do we know about Henry Hudson from the text? A.He enjoyed his last days. B.His three voyages were funded by the British C.He named a river after himself. D.His sailing life finished with a sad ending. C There have been huge advances in Artificial Intelligence (Al)programs that create art.The programs,creating artworks based on short descriptions,have amazed many people.But they have also raised tough questions. NewsForKids.net reported on Dall-E2,a tool from OpenAI.Dall-E2 uses AI to create incredible paintings,photos,and other artworks in different styles based on simple descriptions. Since then,OpenAI has changed its rules to allow anyone to sign up and use the tool.But it's still putting strong controls on the art that can be created.Now several other AI tools work in similar ways.These new tools are free or cheap,and don't have some of Dall-E2's limits. The new tools are entertaining and powerful.They allow people to quickly see almost any idea 第3页 they can imagine,even if they aren't artists.For creative workers,the tools allow them to quickly explore new ideas. These new Al art tools are all trained in similar ways using massive collections of pictures with matching descriptions.The programs begin to create new images with a random pattern of dots. Step by step,they use their training to change the pattern until parts of the image begin to match the description. However,artists are upset that they're now competing against computers for attention,prizes and jobs.It's hard for a single artist to compete against all the art and photography appearing on the Internet.The images and descriptions used to train these AI programs were taken from the Internet, therefore,the tools can produce images that aren't appropriate.Yet,what concerned the artists most was that the training images were used without permission,causing questions whether what these tools are doing is fair or legal.Once created,an artwork is protected by copyright.The creators of the training pictures-the photographers,the artists,and even the people in the pictures -haven't given permission for their images to be used. 28.How do AI art programs like Dall-E2 create artworks? A.By changing photos taken by users. B.By using short descriptions as a basis C.By asking professional artists for help D.By copying existing famous paintings 29.What aspect ofAI art tools does paragraph 4 focus on? A.Their strong functions. B.Their wide application. C.Their working principle. D.Their common features. 30.Which factor related to the AI art tools upsets artists most? A.The huge collecting capacity of the Internet. B.The great creative ability beyond imagination C.The inappropriate artwork created by the tools D.The illegal use of training images from the Internet. 31.What makes the best title for the text? A.AI Art Tools:Newborn Innovations. 共6页 B.AIArt Tools:Powerful Competitors C.AI Art Tools Amaze or Upset Artists? D.AI Art Tools Improve Art Significantly? D You might forgive a casual visitor to Earth for thinking that the leaders here all wear beautiful clothes,have gleaming white teeth and wave continually while they walk down red carpets into luxurious buildings.Judging by the never-ending TV coverage of award ceremonies and the stacks of glossy magazines piled up by supermarket checkouts,it's easy to see why this mistake might be made.Our fixation on celebrities has never been more evident.But according to psychologists,this obsession may be nothing new.Our fascination with the rich and famous goes way back,with people looking to kings and queens for examples of how to dress and behave.For instance,the popularity of the traditional white wedding dress can be traced back to the one worn by Queen Victoria at her wedding in 1840.Before this,brides traditionally wore dresses in all sorts of colours.Going back even further,our earliest ancestors lived in tribes,where leaders were watched carefully for clues on how best to survive.We still live in a society dominated by hierarchies and our modern-day obsession with celebrities could simply be an extension of a basic instinct to pay close attention to those at the top. What has changed,of course,is the rise of the media,and with it,easier access to these glamorous lifestyles something celebrities are all too aware of.They know that by constantly appearing in online news feeds and reaching out to their fans,they can raise their profile and make sure they're not forgotten.The growth of the media has also meant that there are now many more ways to become famous.Consequently,we re no longer simply celebrity-watchers but, celebrities-in-waiting,waiting for our chance to shine on the world stage.Many of us believe that we'll be famous one day and the idea of becoming the centre of attention is very real in many of our minds.But until then,we're happy just watching.One theory suggests that with the decline in large families and close-knit communities,celebrities have,for some people,taken the place of these social groups.Just as we'd once been eager to find out what the neighbours were up to,we're now keen to know everything about our new "family"members. But is there really anything wrong with caring about what our idol is doing?Well,like most 第4页 addictions,you can suffer from it to varying degrees.Many agree that for most of us,our fascination with celebrities is nothing more than a harmless interest in people who lead very different lives.And what could possibly be wrong with that? 32.Why does the passage mention the origin of the white wedding dress? A.To illustrate the influence of leaders on fashion choices B.To highlight the decline of traditional wedding ceremonies C.To emphasize the role of media in influencing wedding trends. D.To demonstrate that white wedding dresses are no longer fashionable 33.According to the passage,what is the primary reason people are fascinated by celebrities? A.Celebrities are inaccessible and mysterious. B.People are instinctively drawn to those at the top ofhierarchies C.Celebrities actually lead ordinary lives that are relatable to the general public. D.People are trying to replace their traditional social groups. 34.What does the passage imply about the role of celebrities in modern society? A.Celebrities have lost their appeal and relevance in contemporary society. B.Celebrities are primarily responsible for shaping modern societal values. C.Celebrities have taken on the role of traditional social groups for some. D.Celebrities play a minor role in modem society compared to historical figures. 35.Which of the following statements would the author be most likely to agree with? A.Fascination with celebrities is mainly driven by modern media. B.Fascination with celebrities is a harmless and natural human instinct with historical roots. C.Fascination with celebrities is an unhealthy addiction that needs to be controlled. D.Fascination with celebrities is driven by the curiosity about other's privacy. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，共12.5分） A woman who owned a tailless(无尾的)dog asked me,“My dog doesn't have a tail to move back and forth to tell me whether he is happy or not.36 I wonder if I am failing to recognize some hidden signals that might actually be a doggy smile." The issue is not whether or not dogs feel emotions.Charles Darwin wrote much about animal emotions and singled out dogs as examples.37 Nobel Prize winner Konrad Lorenz also 共6页 observed the broad range of emotions in dogs All of these researchers concluded that dogs have most of the same emotions that humans do, including fear,anger,sadness,and joy.The question is not whether dogs experience emotions,since that seems to be a scientifically accepted fact. 38 Would this show up as a facial signal,like the smile of a human? In fact,there is a limitation on the range of facial expressions produced by dogs.This is because dogs have a muzzle (whose construction is different from that of our mouths.All vertebrate animals(脊椎动物)，except humans,have muzzles..Aided by powerful muscles,.the muzzle is designed for strength rather than flexibility.39 40 As a result,the muscles that give strength to the muzzle also limit the control and flexibility of the dog's mouth area.The reduced flexibility of a dog's mouth area limits the variety of facial expressions that dogs can make with their mouths A.My friends say their pet dogs smile obviously. B.Therefore,it can be used as a weapon and a tool C.Strength and flexibility often work against each other. D.That's because they feel many ofus human'emotions E.This means a dog's "smile"is not a sign of firiendliness. F.I have watched his face a lot,but he never seems to smile G.Instead,understanding how dogs show emotions like joy is more important. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分) 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，共15分) One afternoon,as I was diving into life's deeper questions with my students,a thoughtful boy named Jack raised his hand."Why do so many people feel lost?"he asked. 41 their curiosity,I decided to show them the ropes through experience rather than simply 42 "Follow me,"I said,leading them toward the nearby 43 Whispers filled the air."Why are we going there?"Emma murmured."Are there wild animals?"Liam added nervously."Are we even going to 44 this?"A voice trembled from the back.I stayed 45,walking calmly ahead.The students trailed behind me,their minds racing with 46.Some panicked over 47 lions;others pictured snakes With every step,their anxiety 48 ,yet I said nothing 第5页 After forty minutes,we stopped at the forest's edge.49 them,I smiled."Don't wory we won't be entering.But tell me,what did you notice on our way here?"The students fell silent."You were so caught up in 50 of the unknown,"I continued,"that you 51 the birds singing,the sunlight filtering through the leaves,and the 52 around you."

Seeing the worry on May's face,Mom added,"New-school nerves,right?I bet you'll make all kinds of friends just by being you.She kissed the top of May's head before leaving the room. 第6页 As May packed her backpack,she thought about Mom's words.She hoped Mom was right.

There is a bus going right by my house. But when it rains or when the bus is crowded, I do wish I had a car. 2．【答案】B 【原文】W: When will the concert tickets arrive? M: I have had them now. They’re here. W: I’ve never known the post to be that quick. Were they emailed? M: Of course. Did you think they’d be delivered in person? 3【答案】B 【原文】M: That grade on my philosophy paper? It really took me by surprise. You know I work hard in everything, but I never thought I get such a high grade. I mean, she actually gave me an A. W: Well, look, Prof. Lee is fair, so you really have yourself to thank. 4．【答案】C 【原文】W: Excuse me, sir, your dog isn’t on a lead. It’s against the rules of our park. M: Oh, sorry. I wanted to train my dog to catch the frisbee. W: I understand, but dogs without a lead can be a threat to the safety of visitors. 5．【答案】A 【原文】M: You’ve been working late recently. W: Yes, I’m trying to prepare the case for the defense. I believe what the company has done is perfectly legal. M: I know, it’s always a challenge. But once you gather all the evidence, it’ll be easier to defend in the courtroom. 【答案】6．B 7．A 【原文】W: Hi, Sam, how is your daughter doing at school? M: Well, since I bought a smartphone for Jillian last summer, it seems the phone has become an extension of her arm. And it has made it impossible for her to concentrate. That really upsets me. W: You are not alone in that. It is said that 95% of teenagers either own or have access to a smartphone. Some schools have put in place policies banning or controlling phone use during school hours. M: I’m all in favor of these policies. W: Yeah, more and more schools have begun doing this. A friend of mine works at a school and he told me that these policies had brought about positive changes. 【答案】8．A 9．C 【原文】W: You talked to Mr. Harrington this morning, didn’t you? M: Yeah. It was about my medical check-up. W: What did he say? M: He mentioned that my blood sugar levels are high and advised me to make some lifestyle changes. W: That makes sense. We’ve been sitting in front of the computer all day, and haven’t had time to exercise. M: You’re right. When I was in college, I went jogging every day. W: And I noticed that you grabbed a lot of fried foods and sweets when you worked overtime. M: I’ve made up my mind that I’ll cut back on those late-night snacks and stick to a light diet. 【答案】10．C 11．A 12．A 【原文】W: Brett, what have you been up to recently? M: Well, I’ve been working on an English conversation book. But now I’m torn between self-publishing and going through a traditional publishing house. W: Self-publishing definitely means more work for you. And you could have used that energy to write even more books! M: You’re right. And without guaranteed sales, it’s a bit risky. I’ll definitely think twice. W: By the way, is the book suitable for low level students who need to work on their English pronunciation and speaking skills? M: This book is custom-made for them. The book includes written dialogues, and there’s an accompanying CD of every dialogue. So students can read along and listen at the same time. W: Cool! I’d love to check it out when it’s on sale. Maybe I can even recommend it to some of my friends who are learning English. 【答案】13．B 14．A 15．C 16．B 【原文】W: China has made such significant contributions to the world throughout history. M: Really? Like what? W: Well, for starters, the Chinese invented paper around two thousand years ago. Can you imagine life without paper? M: That’s incredible. But that was long ago. What about the present? W: In modern times, China is a leader in technology. They’ve produced some of the world’s most advanced electronics and useful devices. The train we are traveling on now is Chinese. M: That’s impressive. What else have they contributed? W: Chinese cuisine is another great example. Where would the world be without Chinese restaurants? M: Ah, yes. Chinese food is especially rich and delicious. I take my family out for Chinese food several times a month. W: Me, too. And let’s not forget traditional Chinese medicine, which has been practiced for thousands of years and continues to influence healthcare globally. M: I never realized the extent of China’s contributions to the world. W: It’s truly remarkable, from the ancient inventions that shaped civilization to the modern innovations driving global industries. M: Absolutely. All those things show the rich cultural heritage and the intelligence and wisdom of the Chinese people. 【答案】17．A 18．A 19．C 20．B 【原文】    W: The Worcester Public Library announced that through the end of March, people who have lost or damaged a book or other borrowed items can bring a photograph, drawing or magazine clipping of a cat, and make their library cards work again without paying fines. The library called the program March Meowness, a way to forgive people who lost or damaged borrowed items by accident. Jason Homer, the executive director of the library, said in an interview on Monday that about 400 people had their library accounts unblocked and could borrow books again after bringing in their pictures or drawings of cats. In one case, a cat-less 7-year-old boy, who lost the book Captain Underpants, had his library card work again after the staff gave him paper and a pencil to draw a cat. Like many public libraries in the United States, the Worcester Public Library is trying to encourage people to return there after the pandemic. The library had previously tried to raise the number of visitors with canned food drives. The library staff held meetings for several months to come up with different creative ways to get people back through the library doors. After these meetings, the Meowness program took shape. While the library had previously stopped charging fines for late returns, many people who faced fees for lost items simply stayed away. One woman named Julie, who had lost library DVDs by accident, regained access to her account with a photograph of a cat. 【答案】21．D 22．B 23．A 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个免费的在线百科全书的情况。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据第二段“It can also be used in Japan, Spain, Germany and some other countries with different languages.(它也可以在日本、西班牙、德国和其他一些不同语言的国家使用)”可知，提供各种各样的语言使简单英语维基百科与众不同。故选D。 22．细节理解题。根据最后一段“With one million articles on a variety of topics, the site is a good place to visit if you want child-safe and easy to-understand information.(如果你想要儿童安全且易于理解的信息，该网站是一个访问的好地方，有一百万篇关于各种主题的文章)”可知，Kids. Net. Au的文章并不复杂。故选B。 23．推理判断题。根据第一段“Here are four free online encyclopedias(百科全书) which have simplified explanations of deeper topics for kids. The online encyclopedias also help the parent or the teacher to free the kids to do their own research.(这里有四个免费的在线百科全书，它们为孩子们提供了更深入的主题的简化解释。在线百科全书还可以帮助家长或老师让孩子们自由地做自己的研究)”结合文章主要介绍了四个免费的在线百科全书的情况。可推知，文章可能选自杂志。故选A。 【答案】24．D 25．C 26．B 27．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章记叙了英国探险家Henry Hudson为了找一条通往亚洲的更便捷的航线而进行的四次海上航行。 【详解】24．细节细节题。根据第一段最后一句“In the early 1600s, European trading companies were looking for faster routes to sail to Asia.(在17世纪早期，欧洲贸易公司正在寻找通往亚洲的更快路线。)”和第二段第一句“In 1607 and 1608, British explorer Henry Hudson led two failed voyages to find a northeast passage across the Arctic Ocean to Asia.(1607年和1608年，英国探险家Henry Hudson领导了两次失败的航行，试图找到一条穿越北冰洋到亚洲的东北通道。)”可知，Hudson的目的是找到一条通往亚洲的更便捷的航线。故选D。 25．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“After failing twice, Hudson couldn’t get a British company to fund his next voyage. He had to persuade the Dutch East India Company to back his third trip.(两次失败后，Hudson找不到一家英国公司资助他的下一次航行。他不得不说服荷兰东印度公司back他的第三次航行。)”可知，两次航行失败后，没有英国公司再出资支持Hudson的下一次航行，他不得不去说服荷兰东印度公司资助他的第三次航行，back在句中与fund意义接近，意为“资助”，与support同义。故选C。 26．细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“He had to persuade the Dutch East India Company to back his third trip.(他不得不说服荷兰东印度公司资助他的第三次航行。)”、第三段中的“Hudson left Amsterdam on April 4, 1609 aboard a ship named the Half Moon.(1609年4月4日，Hudson乘坐一艘名为‘半月号’的船离开阿姆斯特丹。)”以及“After several months, he arrived in the New York Harbor and sailed up a body of water that is now named the Hudson River.(几个月后，他抵达了纽约港，并沿着一条如今被称为哈德逊河的水域航行前行。)”可知，哈德逊第三次航海到达了如今的哈德逊河（Hudson River）。故选B。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Hudson made one final attempt in 1610, on a new ship named Discovery.(1610 年，Hudson进行了最后一次尝试，乘坐的是一艘名为‘发现号’的新船。)”以及“Discovery had become trapped in thick ice. Hudson’s crew became angry. They wanted to return to Europe, but Hudson wanted to continue searching for a passage to Asia. When spring came, the crew revolted (反叛) and took control of the ship. They put Hudson, his son, and seven others on a small boat somewhere in the Hudson Bay. The crew sailed Discovery back to Europe and those who led the mutiny (叛乱) were severely punished. Henry Hudson was never seen again.(‘发现号'被困在厚厚的冰层中。Hudson的船员很生气。他们想回到欧洲，但Hudson想继续寻找通往亚洲的通道。春天来了，船员们造反并控制了这艘船。他们把Hudson、他的儿子和其他七个人放在哈德逊湾某处的一条小船上。船员们驾驶发现号返回欧洲，那些领导哗变的人受到了严厉的惩罚。Henry Hudson再也没有出现过。)”可知，Hudson最后一次航海遭遇了船员叛乱，结果他和他的儿子以及另外七个人被抛弃在了哈德逊湾，自此之后便再没有人见过Hudson。由此可知，Henry Hudson的航海生涯最终以悲剧结束。故选D。 【答案】28．B 29．C 30．D 31．C 【导语】文章主要介绍了AI艺术创作工具的兴起、工作原理及其引发的争议。这些工具能根据简短描述生成图像，虽然功能强大且便捷，但也因未经授权使用网络图片进行训练而引发了艺术家们的担忧和关于版权的讨论。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The programs, creating artworks based on short descriptions, have amazed many people.(这些程序根据简短的描述创作艺术品，这让许多人感到惊讶。)”以及第二段“Dall-E2 uses AI to create incredible paintings, photos, and other artworks in different styles based on simple descriptions.(Dall-E2利用AI根据简单的描述创作出不同风格的、令人难以置信的绘画、照片和其他艺术品。)”可知，像Dall-E2这样的AI艺术程序是根据简短的描述来创作艺术品的。 29．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“These new AI art tools are all trained in similar ways — using massive collections of pictures with matching descriptions. The programs begin to create new images with a random pattern of dots. Step by step, they use their training to change the pattern until parts of the image begin to match the description.(这些新型的AI艺术工具，训练方式大同小异——均依托海量的图片及与之匹配的文字描述进行训练。程序会以随机的点阵图案起步，开始生成全新图像。随后，它们会借助训练所学，逐步调整这一图案，直至图像的部分内容与文字描述相契合。)”可知本段清晰地阐述了这些工具是如何工作的，可推理出本段聚焦于AI工具的工作原理。 30．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Yet, what concerned the artists most was that the training images were used without permission, causing questions whether what these tools are doing is fair or legal.(然而，最让艺术家们担忧的是，训练图像是在未经许可的情况下被使用的，这引发了人们对这些工具的行为是否公平或合法的质疑。)”可知，最让艺术家们感到不安的因素是这些工具非法使用了来自互联网的训练图像。 31．主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“The new tools are entertaining and powerful.(这些新工具既有趣又强大。)”以及最后一段“However, artists are upset that they’re now competing against computers for attention, prizes and jobs.(然而，艺术家们很不快，因为他们现在要与电脑争夺关注度、奖项和工作。)”可知，文章首先介绍了AI艺术工具令人惊叹的创作能力，随后笔锋一转，重点讨论了它们给艺术家带来的困扰和引发的争议，C选项“AI Art Tools Amaze or Upset Artists?(AI艺术工具：是让艺术家惊叹还是不安？)”准确地概括了文章所探讨的这两个核心方面，即AI艺术工具带来的惊奇与引发的不安，最适合作为文章标题。 【答案】32．A 33．B 34．C 35．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨人们对名人的痴迷现象，指出这种痴迷并非新生事物，从历史上人们就会关注领袖的穿着和行为，如维多利亚女王引领白色婚纱潮流，如今媒体发展使人们更易接触名人生活，有人认为名人取代了部分传统社会群体，但对多数人而言，这种痴迷是无害且源于本能的。 32．推理判断题。根据第一段“Our fascination with the rich and famous goes way back, with people looking to kings and queens for examples of how to dress and behave. For instance, the popularity of the traditional white wedding dress can be traced back to the one worn by Queen Victoria at her wedding in 1840. Before this, brides traditionally wore dresses in all sorts of colours.(我们对富人和名人的迷恋由来已久，人们以国王和女王为榜样，学习穿着和行为举止。例如，传统白色婚纱的流行可以追溯到1840年维多利亚女王婚礼上所穿的婚纱。在此之前，新娘传统上穿着各种颜色的婚纱)可知，提到白色婚纱的起源是为了说明领袖对时尚选择的影响，人们会效仿女王的穿着。故选A项。 33．细节理解题。根据第一段“We still live in a society dominated by hierarchies and our modern - day obsession with celebrities could simply be an extension of a basic instinct to pay close attention to those at the top.(我们仍然生活在一个等级制度主导的社会中，我们现代对名人的痴迷可能只是一种基本本能的延伸，即密切关注处于顶层的人)可知，人们对名人着迷的主要原因是本能地被等级制度中处于顶端的人吸引。故选B项。 34．推理判断题。根据第二段“One theory suggests that with the decline in large families and close - knit communities, celebrities have, for some people, taken the place of these social groups.(一种理论认为，随着大家庭和紧密社区的减少，对一些人来说，名人已经取代了这些社会群体)”可知，文章暗示在现代社会中，对一些人来说，名人承担了传统社会群体的角色。故选C项。 35．推理判断题。根据第一段“Our fascination with the rich and famous goes way back, with people looking to kings and queens for examples of how to dress and behave.(我们对富人和名人的迷恋由来已久，人们以国王和女王为榜样，学习穿着和行为举止。)”以及最后一段“Many agree that for most of us, our fascination with celebrities is nothing more than a harmless interest in people who lead very different lives.(许多人认为，对我们大多数人来说，对名人的迷恋只不过是对那些过着截然不同生活的人产生的一种无伤大雅的兴趣。)”可知，作者认为对名人的迷恋有历史根源，且对大多数人来说是一种无害的兴趣，是一种自然的人类本能。故选B项。 【答案】36．F 37．D 38．G 39．B 40．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕“无尾狗如何表达情绪”这一问题展开，结合达尔文、洛伦兹等研究者的结论，阐述了狗具备和人类相似的多种情绪，同时从生理结构角度分析了狗的面部表情存在局限性的原因。 【详解】36．根据上文“My dog doesn’t have a tail to move back and forth to tell me whether he is happy or not.(我的狗没有尾巴可以来回摇动来告诉我它是否开心)”以及下文“I wonder if I am failing to recognize some hidden signals that might actually be a doggy smile.(我想知道自己是不是没能识别出那些可能是狗狗微笑的隐藏信号)”可知，此空需要承接前文“无法判断情绪”的内容，引出对“狗狗微笑”的疑惑，本空应说明作者观察狗狗脸部的情况，F选项“I have watched his face a lot, but he never seems to smile.(我经常观察它的脸，但它似乎从来都不会笑)”既衔接了前文对狗狗情绪表达的关注，又呼应了下文“识别狗狗微笑信号”的疑问，符合语境。故选F项。 37．根据上文“Charles Darwin wrote much about animal emotions and singled out dogs as examples.(查尔斯·达尔文撰写了大量关于动物情绪的文章，并专门以狗为例)”以及下文“Nobel Prize winner Konrad Lorenz also observed the broad range of emotions in dogs.(诺贝尔奖得主康拉德·洛伦兹也观察到狗有着丰富多样的情绪)”可知，此空需要解释达尔文以狗为例的原因。D选项“That’s because they feel many of us human’emotions.(这是因为它们能感受到我们人类的多种情绪)”中的“they”指代“dogs”，点明了狗被选为研究案例的核心原因，同时衔接下文洛伦兹的相关观察，符合语境。故选D项。 38．根据上文“The question is not whether dogs experience emotions, since that seems to be a scientifically accepted fact.(问题不在于狗是否会产生情绪，因为这似乎已是科学公认的事实)”以及下文“Would this show up as a facial signal, like the smile of a human?(这种情绪会以面部信号的形式表现出来吗，比如像人类的微笑一样？)”可知，此空需要通过转折引出真正的研究重点——狗如何表达情绪。G选项“Instead, understanding how dogs show emotions like joy is more important.(相反，了解狗如何表达喜悦之类的情绪才更为重要)”中的“Instead”体现转折逻辑，承接前文“情绪存在已成定论”的内容，同时引出下文对“情绪的面部表达”的探讨，符合语境。故选G项。 39．根据上文“Aided by powerful muscles, the muzzle is designed for strength rather than flexibility.(在强劲肌肉的支撑下，狗的鼻口部构造更注重力量而非灵活性)”可知，此空需要进一步说明鼻口部“力量感”带来的作用。B选项“Therefore, it can be used as a weapon and a tool.(因此，它可以被当作武器和工具来使用)”中的“Therefore”表因果关系，“it”指代前文的“muzzle”，且“weapon and tool”对应前文的“strength”，阐明了鼻口部力量感的实际用途，符合语境。故选B项。 40．根据下文“As a result, the muscles that give strength to the muzzle also limit the control and flexibility of the dog’s mouth area.(结果就是，赋予鼻口部力量的肌肉，也限制了狗狗嘴部区域的控制力和灵活性)”可知，此空需要点明“力量”与“灵活性”之间的对立关系，为下文的结论做铺垫。C选项“Strength and flexibility often work against each other.(力量和灵活性往往是相互制约的)”精准概括了二者的矛盾关系，“work against each other”对应下文肌肉带来的“力量”与“灵活性受限”的结果，符合语境。故选C项。 41．B 42．C 43．D 44．A 45．B 46．B 47．D 48．A 49．C 50．B 51．B 52．A 53．C 54．D 55．A 【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了一位老师通过带学生前往森林的体验式教学，解答了“为何很多人会迷茫”的问题，让学生明白不应因恐惧未来而错过当下的美好，活在当下才能塑造未来。 【详解】41．考查动词。句意：察觉到他们的好奇心后，我决定通过亲身经历来指导他们，而非简单地进行解释。A. Ignoring忽视，不理睬；B. Sensing察觉到，意识到；C. Criticizing批评，指责；D. Celebrating庆祝，赞美。根据下文“I decided to show them the ropes through experience”可知，老师察觉到学生们的好奇心，决定用体验而非说教的方式解答。 42．考查动词。句意：察觉到他们的好奇心后，我决定通过亲身经历来指导他们，而非简单地进行解释。A. complain抱怨，发牢骚；B. argue争论，辩论；C. explain解释，说明；D. announce宣布，宣告。根据上文“through experience rather than simply”可知，与“亲身实践”相对的是“口头解释”。 43．考查名词。句意：我说着，带着他们走向附近的森林。A. mountain山，山脉；B. river河流；C. desert沙漠；D. forest森林。后文明确提到“we stopped at the forest’s edge”，因此老师带学生去的是附近的森林。 44．考查动词。句意：利亚姆紧张地补充道。“我们真的能在这活下来吗？”A. survive幸存，活下来；B. enjoy享受，喜爱；C. remember记得，记住；D. control控制，掌控。根据上文“Are there wild animals?”学生们担心有野生动物，颤抖着问“我们能活下来吗？”，体现了他们极度的恐惧。 45．考查形容词。句意：我保持沉默，平静地走在前面。A. curious好奇的；B. silent沉默的；C. shocked震惊的；D. amused觉得好笑的。根据后文“yet I said nothing”可知，老师保持沉默，只是平静地往前走。 46．考查名词。句意：学生们跟在我后面，他们的脑海中满是猜测。A. plans计划；B. guesses猜测，猜想；C. decisions决定；D. jokes玩笑。根据下文“Some panicked over ______ lions; others pictured snakes.”可知，学生们不知道目的地和此行目的，脑子里充满了各种不确定的猜想。 47．考查形容词。句意：有些人因想象中的狮子而惊慌失措；另一些人则描绘着蛇的景象。A. hungry饥饿的；B. magical神奇的；C. fierce凶猛的；D. imaginary想象中的，虚构的。根据下文“others pictured snakes”可知，学生们想象着危险。 48．考查动词。句意：每走一步，他们的焦虑就加剧一分，但我什么也没说。A. grew增长，加剧；B. emerged出现，浮现；C. faded消退，减弱；D. fell下降，跌落。根据语境以及上文“With every step”可知，随着一步步靠近森林，学生们对未知的恐惧不断加深，焦虑情绪持续加剧。 49．考查动词短语。句意：我转向他们，微笑着说道：“别担心——我们不会进去的。”A. Calling on号召，呼吁；B. Pointing at指向；C. Turning to转向；D. Waiting for等待。根据语境以及下文“I smiled. “Don’t worry — we won’t be entering.””可知，老师一直走在队伍前面，到达目的地后，需要转过身来面对学生才能开始说话。 50．考查名词。句意：“你们太害怕未知的事物了，”我继续说道，“以至于忽略了鸟儿的歌唱、阳光透过树叶洒下的光影以及你周围的一切美好。”A. joy快乐，喜悦；B. fear恐惧，害怕；C. anger愤怒，生气；D. hope希望。根据后文“let fear take over”可知，此处指的是学生们太害怕未知的事物了。 51．考查动词。句意：“你们太害怕未知的事物了，”我继续说道，“以至于忽略了鸟儿的歌唱、阳光透过树叶洒下的光影以及你周围的一切美好。”A. heard听到；B. missed错过，未注意到；C. avoided避免；D. recorded记录。根据下文“we’ll miss its wonders”可知，因为学生们全神贯注于对未知的恐惧，所以错过了身边的鸟鸣和阳光。 52．考查名词。句意：“你们太害怕未知的事物了，”我继续说道，“以至于忽略了鸟儿的歌唱、阳光透过树叶洒下的光影以及你周围的一切美好。”A. beauty美景，美好；B. harmony和谐；C. warmth温暖；D. mystery神秘。根据上文“the birds singing”和“the sunlight filtering through the leaves”可知，都是大自然中具体的美好事物，用“beauty”可以概括性地指代这些身边的风景。 53．考查动词。句意：“所以……我们总是过于担忧未来，以至于忘记了当下该做什么？”A. refuse拒绝；B. pretend假装；C. forget忘记；D. hate讨厌。根据上文“we worry so much about the future”可知，杰克的感悟是对老师观点的总结：人们过度担忧未来，以至于忘记了活在当下。 54．考查名词。句意：“正是如此，”我回答道，“生活是一段旅程。”A. game游戏；B. battle战斗；C. gift礼物；D. journey旅程。根据下文“we’ll miss its wonders.”可知，此处指的是“生活是一场旅程”，与后文“错过沿途的奇迹”完美呼应。 55．考查名词。句意：这个道理虽然简单却意义深远：当下塑造着未来。A. present当下，现在；B. chance机会；C. effort努力；D. luck运气。根据下文“Don’t let fear steal today’s gifts.”可知，此处为文章主旨升华：当下塑造未来，不要让恐惧偷走今天的礼物。与前文“live now”“today’s gifts”形成完美呼应。 56．how 57．about 58．committed 59．that/which 60．participants 61．unintentionally 62．consistent 63．a 64．working 65．comes 【导语】本文主要讲的是一次行业会议中富有成效的讨论过程及其重要意义。 【详解】56．考查宾语从句。句意：没人知道分歧会以何种方式产生——有些与会者的观点甚至相互矛盾，讨论一度陷入僵局。空格处引导宾语从句，从句中不缺主语或宾语，此处表示“没人知道分歧会以何种方式产生”，空格处意为“如何”，因此用how引导宾语从句。 57．考查固定短语。句意：没人知道分歧会以何种方式产生——有些与会者的观点甚至相互矛盾，讨论一度陷入僵局。根据语境可知，此处表示“没人知道分歧会以何种方式产生”，come about是固定短语，意为“产生”。 58．考查非谓语动词。句意：但组织者们一心寻求共识，并没有就此放弃。句中谓语是did not stop，空格处用非谓语动词，organizers和commit之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此用过去分词表被动，作后置定语。 59．考查定语从句。句意：他们为让人们畅所欲言而搭建的平台很快就发挥了作用。空格处引导限制性定语从句，从句中缺少宾语，先行词The platform是物，因此用关系代词which/that引导定语从句。 60．考查名词。句意：一些参与者的讲述揭示了行业中的隐秘问题。some后跟名词，此处表示“一些参与者”，空格处意为“参与者”，名词是participant，是可数名词，空前有some，空格处用复数。 61．考查副词。句意：在这个过程中，有些人无意中忽略了他人的观点。空格处用副词修饰动词ignored，此处表示“有些人无意中忽略了他人的观点”，空格处意为“无意地”，副词是unintentionally。 62．考查形容词。句意：但那些保持持续沟通的人始终能够正确看待分歧。空格处用形容词作定语，修饰名词communication，consistency的形容词是consistent，意为“始终如一的”。 63．考查冠词。句意：最终，这次有益的交流达成了切实可行的结论。reach a conclusion是固定短语，意为“得出结论”。 64．考查非谓语动词。句意：这也展现了该行业从业人员的坚定决心。句中谓语是showed，空格处用非谓语动词，people和work之间是主谓关系，因此用现在分词表主动，作后置定语。 65．考查时态和主谓一致。句意：每个人都明白，真正的进步源于坦诚的交流思想。故填comes。句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语progress是不可数名词，因此空格处用第三人称单数。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 【答案】例文 Digital Communication: A Bridge at Home? There is no doubt that digital communication has become an essential part of family life.

B Before planes, people traveled by boat. And getting goods from one place to another took a long time, especially when ships had to sail around continents. In the early 1600s, European trading companies were looking for faster routes to sail to Asia. In 1607 and 1608, British explorer Henry Hudson led two failed voyages to find a northeast passage across the Arctic Ocean to Asia. He was searching for a route above the Arctic Circle, and his biggest problem was sailing around icebergs (冰山), which blocked his path. After failing twice, Hudson couldn’t get a British company to fund his next voyage. He had to persuade the Dutch East India Company to back his third trip. Hudson left Amsterdam on April 4, 1609 aboard a ship named the Half Moon. The crew headed southwest across the Atlantic Ocean to America. After several months, he arrived in the New York Harbor and sailed up a body of water that is now named the Hudson River. He thought the river might lead to the Pacific Ocean. But he was wrong, and he was forced to turn back to Europe. Hudson made one final attempt in 1610, on a new ship named Discovery. He sailed Discovery across the northern Atlantic and discovered a large body of water that became known as Hudson Bay. Unfortunately, the Hudson Bay did not lead to Asia. Furthermore, Hudson’s luck had run out. Winter weather hit the region and the crew suffered greatly from lack of food and supplies. Discovery had become trapped in thick ice. Hudson’s crew became angry. They wanted to return to Europe, but Hudson wanted to continue searching for a passage to Asia. When spring came, the crew revolted (反叛) and took control of the ship. They put Hudson, his son, and seven others on a small boat somewhere in the Hudson Bay. The crew sailed Discovery back to Europe and those who led the mutiny (叛乱) were severely punished. Henry Hudson was never seen again. 24．What was the purpose of Hudson’s voyages? A．To look for new land. B．To seek fame and fortune. C．To do scientific research.

C．He named a river after himself. D．His sailing life finished with a sad ending. C There have been huge advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) programs that create art. The programs, creating artworks based on short descriptions, have amazed many people. But they have also raised tough questions. NewsForKids.net reported on Dall-E2, a tool from OpenAI. Dall-E2 uses AI to create incredible paintings, photos, and other artworks in different styles based on simple descriptions. Since then, OpenAI has changed its rules to allow anyone to sign up and use the tool. But it’s still putting strong controls on the art that can be created. Now several other AI tools work in similar ways. These new tools are free or cheap, and don’t have some of Dall-E2’s limits. The new tools are entertaining and powerful. They allow people to quickly see almost any idea they can imagine, even if they aren’t artists. For creative workers, the tools allow them to quickly explore new ideas. These new AI art tools are all trained in similar ways — using massive collections of pictures with matching descriptions. The programs begin to create new images with a random pattern of dots. Step by step, they use their training to change the pattern until parts of the image begin to match the description. However, artists are upset that they’re now competing against computers for attention, prizes and jobs. It’s hard for a single artist to compete against all the art and photography appearing on the Internet. The images and descriptions used to train these AI programs were taken from the Internet, therefore, the tools can produce images that aren’t appropriate. Yet, what concerned the artists most was that the training images were used without permission, causing questions whether what these tools are doing is fair or legal. Once created, an artwork is protected by copyright. The creators of the training pictures—the photographers, the artists, and even the people in the pictures — haven’t given permission for their images to be used. 28．How do AI art programs like Dall-E2 create artworks? A．By changing photos taken by users. B．By using short descriptions as a basis. C．By asking professional artists for help. D．By copying existing famous paintings. 29．What aspect of AI art tools does paragraph 4 focus on? A．Their strong functions. B．Their wide application. C．Their working principle. D．Their common features. 30．Which factor related to the AI art tools upsets artists most? A．The huge collecting capacity of the Internet. B．The great creative ability beyond imagination. C．The inappropriate artwork created by the tools. D．The illegal use of training images from the Internet. 31．What makes the best title for the text? A．AI Art Tools: Newborn Innovations. B．AI Art Tools: Powerful Competitors. C．AI Art Tools Amaze or Upset Artists? D．AI Art Tools Improve Art Significantly? D You might forgive a casual visitor to Earth for thinking that the leaders here all wear beautiful clothes, have gleaming white teeth and wave continually while they walk down red carpets into luxurious buildings. Judging by the never-ending TV coverage of award ceremonies and the stacks of glossy magazines piled up by supermarket checkouts, it’s easy to see why this mistake might be made. Our fixation on celebrities has never been more evident. But according to psychologists, this obsession may be nothing new. Our fascination with the rich and famous goes way back, with people looking to kings and queens for examples of how to dress and behave. For instance, the popularity of the traditional white wedding dress can be traced back to the one worn by Queen Victoria at her wedding in 1840. Before this, brides traditionally wore dresses in all sorts of colours. Going back even further, our earliest ancestors lived in tribes, where leaders were watched carefully for clues on how best to survive. We still live in a society dominated by hierarchies and our modern-day obsession with celebrities could simply be an extension of a basic instinct to pay close attention to those at the top. What has changed, of course, is the rise of the media, and with it, easier access to these glamorous lifestyles — something celebrities are all too aware of. They know that by constantly appearing in online news feeds and reaching out to their fans, they can raise their profile and make sure they’re not forgotten. The growth of the media has also meant that there are now many more ways to become famous. Consequently, we’re no longer simply celebrity-watchers but, celebrities-in-waiting, waiting for our chance to shine on the world stage. Many of us believe that we’ll be famous one day and the idea of becoming the centre of attention is very real in many of our minds. But until then, we’re happy just watching. One theory suggests that with the decline in large families and close-knit communities, celebrities have, for some people, taken the place of these social groups. Just as we’d once been eager to find out what the neighbours were up to, we’re now keen to know everything about our new “family” members. But is there really anything wrong with caring about what our idol is doing? Well, like most addictions, you can suffer from it to varying degrees. Many agree that for most of us, our fascination with celebrities is nothing more than a harmless interest in people who lead very different lives. And what could possibly be wrong with that? 32．Why does the passage mention the origin of the white wedding dress? A．To illustrate the influence of leaders on fashion choices. B．To highlight the decline of traditional wedding ceremonies. C．To emphasize the role of media in influencing wedding trends. D．To demonstrate that white wedding dresses are no longer fashionable. 33．According to the passage, what is the primary reason people are fascinated by celebrities? A．Celebrities are inaccessible and mysterious. B．People are instinctively drawn to those at the top of hierarchies. C．Celebrities actually lead ordinary lives that are relatable to the general public. D．People are trying to replace their traditional social groups. 34．What does the passage imply about the role of celebrities in modern society? A．Celebrities have lost their appeal and relevance in contemporary society. B．Celebrities are primarily responsible for shaping modern societal values. C．Celebrities have taken on the role of traditional social groups for some. D．Celebrities play a minor role in modern society compared to historical figures. 35．Which of the following statements would the author be most likely to agree with? A．Fascination with celebrities is mainly driven by modern media. B．Fascination with celebrities is a harmless and natural human instinct with historical roots. C．Fascination with celebrities is an unhealthy addiction that needs to be controlled. D．Fascination with celebrities is driven by the curiosity about other’s privacy. 第二节（共5小题, 每小题2. 5分, 共12. 5分） A woman who owned a tailless (无尾的) dog asked me, “My dog doesn’t have a tail to move back and forth to tell me whether he is happy or not. 36 I wonder if I am failing to recognize some hidden signals that might actually be a doggy smile. ” The issue is not whether or not dogs feel emotions. Charles Darwin wrote much about animal emotions and singled out dogs as examples. 37 Nobel Prize winner Konrad Lorenz also observed the broad range of emotions in dogs. All of these researchers concluded that dogs have most of the same emotions that humans do, including fear, anger, sadness, and joy. The question is not whether dogs experience emotions, since that seems to be a scientifically accepted fact. 38 Would this show up as a facial signal, like the smile of a human? In fact, there is a limitation on the range of facial expressions produced by dogs. This is because dogs have a muzzle (鼻口部) whose construction is different from that of our mouths. All vertebrate animals (脊椎动物) , except humans, have muzzles. Aided by powerful muscles, the muzzle is designed for strength rather than flexibility. 39 40 As a result, the muscles that give strength to the muzzle also limit the control and flexibility of the dog’s mouth area. The reduced flexibility of a dog’s mouth area limits the variety of facial expressions that dogs can make with their mouths. A．My friends say their pet dogs smile obviously. B．Therefore, it can be used as a weapon and a tool. C．Strength and flexibility often work against each other. D．That’s because they feel many of us human’ emotions. E．This means a dog’s “smile” is not a sign of friendliness. F．I have watched his face a lot, but he never seems to smile. G．Instead, understanding how dogs show emotions like joy is more important. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节, 满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分, 共15分） One afternoon, as I was diving into life’s deeper questions with my students, a thoughtful boy named Jack raised his hand. “Why do so many people feel lost?” he asked. 41 their curiosity, I decided to show them the ropes through experience rather than simply 42 . “Follow me,” I said, leading them toward the nearby 43 .

Will that be keeping you company tomorrow?” Mom asked with a smile. May’s stomach tightened. Tomorrow was her first day at a new school. Her family had just moved from China to this new country over the summer. Seeing the worry on May’s face, Mom added, “New-school nerves, right? I bet you’ll make all kinds of friends just by being you.” She kissed the top of May’s head before leaving the room. As May packed her backpack, she thought about Mom’s words. She hoped Mom was right. The next morning, she decided to bring Longlong, her handmade Chinese dragon, to school. Throughout the morning, it helped to know Longlong was nearby. May found the courage to get through hellos and small talks without turning bright red. Everything was going fine—until she checked her bag after the break. Longlong was missing! Her confidence disappeared. And now it was lunchtime. How could she face a room full of kids she didn’t know? As her class lined up outside the lunchroom, May busied herself by reading the posters on the wall. One caught her eye: Want to Join an After School Club? Sign up by Friday! Chess, Math, Cooking, Drama, Kickball… OR See Mrs. Miller in Room 301, Teaching Building B with New Ideas! Mom had told May clubs could be a way to make friends with kids who shared her interests. But none of these clubs seemed quite right. Just then, a voice called, “Hey, you! In the red shirt!” May turned. A girl walked up and handed her Longlong, saying it had fallen from her backpack. She introduced herself as Olivia, a student from Mrs. Miller’s class. May thanked her and felt braver as she held Longlong again. When Olivia learned that May had made it herself, she said she also liked crafts and asked if May could teach her. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 “Sure!
