D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了几部聚焦成长、联结与自我发现的青少年电影，它们展现多样的青年成长经历，每部都讲述一个值得一看的独特故事。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据Karate kid: Legend段落“After moving to New York City with his mother, talented kung fu student Li Fong struggles to let go of the past as he tries to fit in with his new classmates.(随母亲搬到纽约市后，一位出色的功夫学生李峰努力放下过去，尝试融入新同学。)”可知，《Karate kid: Legend》讲述少年适应新环境、融入新同学的故事，适合推荐给正在适应新环境的青少年。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据The wilderness段落“As the line between treatment and control becomes unclear, the boys must decide whether to survive the program or get away from it.(当治疗与控制之间的界限变得模糊时，男孩们必须决定是熬过这个项目还是逃离它。)”可知，这些孩子要在“熬过去”还是“逃离”之间做出艰难的选择。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Teen movies show the nature of youth with stories that focus on growth, connection, and self-discovery.(青少年电影通过聚焦成长、联结与自我发现的故事，展现青春的本质。)”可知，四部电影的共同主题是年轻人经历成长与自我探索。 B My grandmother knew what every Italian-American grandmother knows: food brings us together, and feeding people is one of the best ways to show the people around you that you love them. No wonder our family traditions centered on food. We would gather in the kitchen for every birthday and holiday. My grandparents always hosted Christmas dinner. Right before we sat down to eat, Grandma would pull me aside quietly and show me a special dish made just for me: fresh pasta with tomato sauce, my favourite food in the world. It was a simple dish, but it meant so much to me. The warm pasta brought me great comfort and joy. Above all, it gave me a strong sense of belonging. I was a shy child and often felt unnoticed by others. This special dish told me Grandma saw me, cared about me and was willing to make extra efforts just for me. After I moved away and got married, she would still prepare pasta, dessert and fresh fruit every time I came back to visit. In 2020, my daughter was born and I could not travel home for Christmas. I cooked our family’s traditional pasta and showed it to Grandma through a FaceTime call. I had no idea then that it would be our last conversation. She passed away unexpectedly shortly after the holiday season. I thought it unfair that Grandma left so soon after I became a mother. Holding my baby girl, I felt sad that my daughter would never feel Grandma’s warm love, enjoy her tasty cooking or hear her funny jokes. I kept wondering how I could pass on that same feeling of belonging and love to my little daughter. 4. What does food mean in the author’s family according to the first two paragraphs? A. A link connecting family members. B. A tradition only for birthdays and holidays. C. A symbol of happiness among family members. D. A way to satisfy hunger during family gatherings. 5. What made the author feel unique about the pasta? A. The pasta was a rare dish that was difficult to make. B. The pasta showed grandmother’s love and attention. C. The author was the only one who was offered the pasta. D. The pasta showed the author was important among her peers. 6. Why did the author feel unfair about her grandmother’s passing? A. Because she couldn’t cook her grandmother traditional foods. B. Because she had no chance to say goodbye to her grandmother. C. Because her grandmother didn’t get to see her daughter grow up. D. Because her daughter would miss out her grandmother’s warmth. 7. Which of the following can best describe the author’s grandmother? A. Helpful and generous. B. Thoughtful and caring. C. Careful and brave. D. Humorous and responsible. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者的祖母通过美食传递爱意，一道专属意面承载着浓浓的亲情与归属感，在祖母离世后，作者希望把这份温暖的爱继续传递给自己的女儿。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“My grandmother knew what every Italian-American grandmother knows: food brings us together, and feeding people is one of the best ways to show the people around you that you love them.(我的祖母知道每一位意裔美国祖母都明白的道理：食物让我们相聚在一起，招待别人是向身边人表达爱意最好的方式之一。)”以及第二段“No wonder our family traditions centered on food.(难怪我们家的传统都围绕着食物展开。)”可知，在作者家中，食物是维系家人之间的纽带。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“This special dish told me Grandma saw me, cared about me and was willing to make extra efforts just for me.(这道特别的菜告诉我，祖母看见我、关心我，愿意专门为我额外费心。)”可知，这道意面承载着祖母的关注与爱意，让作者感受到自己是特别的。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“I thought it unfair that Grandma left so soon after I became a mother. Holding my baby girl, I felt sad that my daughter would never feel Grandma’s warm love, enjoy her tasty cooking or hear her funny jokes.(我觉得很不公平，我刚成为母亲，祖母就这么快离开了。抱着我的小女儿，我很难过，我的女儿永远感受不到祖母温暖的爱意，品尝不到她美味的饭菜，也听不到她有趣的笑话。)”可知，作者觉得不公平，是因为自己的女儿无法体会祖母带来的温暖。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Right before we sat down to eat, Grandma would pull me aside quietly and show me a special dish made just for me: fresh pasta with tomato sauce, my favourite food in the world.(就在我们坐下来吃饭前，祖母会悄悄把我拉到一边，给我看一道专门为我做的菜：番茄酱新鲜意面，是我在这个世界上最喜欢吃的食物。)”可知，祖母会悄悄留意并专门准备作者最爱的食物，用食物表达爱意，由此可以推知祖母体贴、关爱他人。 C Jennifer Destefano received an unfamiliar call. “Mom, some bad people are holding me!” her daughter’s voice cried. The caller demanded money, warning that he would drug the girl and leave her in Mexico if she refused. While she kept him on the line to buy time, her friends managed to reach her daughter, only to find that she was safe and enjoying a skiing trip in Arizona. The voice from the phone was totally fake. Voice cloning, which has extremely far-reaching effects, works when a short voice sample of a person is used to train an AI model. Once trained, the model can read any given text and sound just like the original speaker. This function will be included in Apple’s IOS 17, intended to help those who are at risk of losing their voices. ElevenLabs, an AI startup, enables users to create voice clones in minutes. When generating recordings, users can choose between variability, with lively intonation, and stability, which sounds like a calm newsreader. Popular voice cloning brings new risks. It troubles the financial industry, where voice recognition is vital for user identification. In journalism, viewers doubt news only backed by audio. Some public figures refuse their genuine recordings. Consequently, more law-breakers take “It wasn’t me” as an excuse to escape punishment. This technology also creates a mixed situation for creative industries. Professional voice actors, who devote years to honing their vocal skills, may have their unique voices copied in seconds. Though some actors have accidentally given away rights to their voices, there is another side to the story. Val Kilmer, who lost most of his voice to throat cancer, regained his voice for his movie through this technology. It also saves actors from repeated recording sessions in the studio. 8. Why does the author talk about Destefano’s experience? A. To explain why Destefano was cheated. B. To praise a mother's love for her daughter. C. To teach people how to recognize fake voices. D. To draw readers’ attention to voice cloning. 9. What does the underlined word “variability” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. the state of being changeable B. the quality of being stable C. the ability to be clear D. the chance to be natural 10. What impact may voice cloning make? A. Public figures dare not make recordings. B. Broadcasting will disappear in journalism. C. Criminals use it as an excuse to escape punishment. D. Financial industry will abandon voice identification. 11. What is voice cloning’s influence in creative industries? A. Disastrous. B. Double-edged. C. Beneficial. D. Short-termed. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了声音克隆的原理、风险及对创意产业利弊并存的影响。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Jennifer Destefano received an unfamiliar call. “Mom, some bad people are holding me!” her daughter’s voice cried.(Jennifer Destefano接到一个陌生来电。“妈妈，有坏人抓着我！”她女儿的声音喊道)”以及“The voice from the phone was totally fake.(电话里的声音完全是假的)”可知，作者先讲一起用克隆女儿声音实施绑架诈骗的真实案例，再由第二段中“Voice cloning, which has extremely far-reaching effects, works when a short voice sample of a person is used to train an AI model.(声音克隆影响极为深远，其原理是用一个人的短段语音样本训练AI模型)”正式引出说明对象，可见开头故事是为了把读者注意力引向声音克隆这一话题。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“When generating recordings, users can choose between variability, with lively intonation, and stability, which sounds like a calm newsreader.(生成录音时，用户可以在带有活泼语调的variability与听起来像冷静的新闻播音员的稳定性之间进行选择。)”可知，variability与stability(稳定)构成对举，且由with lively intonation(活泼起伏的语调)作伴随说明，指语调可变化、不固定的状态，即the state of being changeable(可变化的状态)。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“It troubles the financial industry, where voice recognition is vital for user identification. In journalism, viewers doubt news only backed by audio. Some public figures refuse their genuine recordings. Consequently, more law-breakers take “It wasn’t me” as an excuse to escape punishment.(它给金融业带来了麻烦，而在该行业中，语音识别对用户身份核验至关重要。在新闻业，观众会对仅有音频支撑的新闻产生怀疑。一些公众人物否认自己的真实录音。因此，越来越多不法分子把“那不是我”当作逃避惩罚的借口)”可知，原文明确说违法者借声音克隆以“不是我”脱罪，语音克隆可能带来的影响是：罪犯利用它作为逃避惩罚的借口。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“This technology also creates a mixed situation for creative industries. Professional voice actors, who devote years to honing their vocal skills, may have their unique voices copied in seconds.(这项技术也给创意产业带来了一种利弊交织的局面。专业配音演员多年打磨嗓音，其独特声音却可能在几秒内被复制)”以及“Val Kilmer, who lost most of his voice to throat cancer, regained his voice for his movie through this technology.(Val Kilmer因喉癌几乎失声，却借助这项技术为电影找回了声音)”可知，声音克隆对创意产业既有侵权的负面风险，也有帮助失声群体、提升工作效率的正向作用，是一把双刃剑。 D We often think holidays are always happy and social, with family parties and shared customs. However, this social time — even happy moments with family — can be tiring. Shopping for gifts, travelling or hosting guests can add up and make them exhausted. In a recent survey made by Solitude (孤独) Lab in the UK, people were asked what feelings they linked with holidays. Most of them chose words about love and being together. But some also chose "calm" and "relaxed". This shows people hope to get both close relationships and rest. Short periods of being alone can help keep a good balance. In some experiments, researchers found that people’s strong feelings, such as excitement or worry, became weaker after staying alone for just 15 to 30 minutes. During the time, participants could enjoy themselves on the phone, read books or just sit quietly by themselves. The researchers also found physical evidence that being alone helps the body reduce stress faster. So it works well when people are under great pressure. Here, solitude is not running away from others. Instead, it is a method to adjust ourselves. In today’s world, social rules have changed, especially after COVID-19. More people embrace time alone instead of fearing it. Our attitude greatly influences how we feel when we stay alone. Being alone is good for thoughtful activities. For example, we can think about happy moments in the past year, or do easy activities like walking in a nearby park. Although physical solitude means you stay by yourself, it does not mean you lose touch with others. You can get in touch with someone or write a card. These actions remind us of our relationships and make alone time more meaningful. If you spend your holiday alone, it does not mean you choose solitude instead of connections. It just lets both togetherness and alone time exist in this busy holiday season. 12. What does the author want to say about the holiday season in Paragraph 1? A. Its traditions are changing. B. It is about activities like shopping and hosting. C. It is a happy time for family gatherings. D. It has lost its shine for many people. 13. What do researchers consider solitude as? A. An escape from boredom. B. A sign of holiday loneliness. C. A way of reducing pressure. D. A way of avoiding unnecessary interaction. 14. What can be inferred about solitude in the modern world? A. It takes away from the holiday joy. B. It changes the social norms gradually. C. It is increasingly accepted and welcomed. D. It is embraced by people affected by illness. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Spend a Little Alone Time. B. Challenge the Traditional Holidays. C. Appreciate Calmness and Togetherness. D. Step Away from Your Comfortable Zone. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了假期并非只有热闹的团聚，适当独处能够帮助人们调节情绪、缓解压力，独处并不等于脱离人际交往，团聚时光与独处时光可以共存。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“We often think holidays are always happy and social, with family parties and shared customs. However, this social time — even happy moments with family — can be tiring. Shopping for gifts, travelling or hosting guests can add up and make them exhausted.(我们常常认为假期总是充满欢乐、适合社交，有家庭聚会和共同的习俗。然而，这种社交时光——哪怕是和家人在一起的快乐时刻——也会让人疲惫。选购礼物、出行或者招待客人叠加在一起，会让他们筋疲力尽。)”可知，作者想表达假期对很多人来说不再只有美好的一面，会让人疲惫，失去原本的光彩。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers also found physical evidence that being alone helps the body reduce stress faster. So it works well when people are under great pressure. Here, solitude is not running away from others. Instead, it is a method to adjust ourselves.(研究者还发现生理证据，独处可以帮助身体更快减压。所以当人们压力很大的时候，它很有用。在这里，独处不是逃离他人。相反，它是一种调节自我的方式。)”可知，研究者把独处看作一种缓解压力的方式。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In today’s world, social rules have changed, especially after COVID-19. More people embrace time alone instead of fearing it.(在当今世界，社会规则已经改变，尤其是新冠疫情之后。更多人接纳独处时光，而不再惧怕独处。)”可以推断，在现代社会，独处越来越被人们接受和欢迎。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文并结合第二段“Short periods of being alone can help keep a good balance.(短暂的独处有助于保持良好的平衡。)”以及第五段“It just lets both togetherness and alone time exist in this busy holiday season.(它只是让相聚与独处在这个繁忙的假日季里并存。)”可知，文章倡导在假期给自己留一点独处的时间，A项“花一点独处的时间”最适合作为文章标题。 第二节　阅读填空（七选五，共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Teenagers often face pressure from study, friendships and family. Exams, heavy homework and disagreements with friends can all become sources of worry. Pressure is a normal part of life, but too much of it can influence your physical health as well as your state of mind. ____16____ Physical exercise is one of the most effective ways to reduce stress. When you exercise, your body produces chemicals that make you feel relaxed and hopeful. Many teenagers believe they need hours of hard training to get such benefits. ____17____ A short 20-minute walk can also help you relax after a long school day. ____18____ Many teenagers keep their worries inside, afraid that others will think they are weak.

Simply speaking out your troubles can lighten your burden and stop negative thoughts from growing. Set realistic expectations for yourself. It is great to try your best and make progress in different fields. ____19____ Accept that you cannot be perfect in everything. Unrealistic wishes will only bring more pressure and disappointment when you fail to reach them. Take time for small pleasures in your busy daily life. Do something you enjoy, such as listening to music or watching a short video. These activities do not require much time or money. ____20____ It stops you from being buried in endless pressure. A. Talk through your feelings. B. You don’t need to do tiring sports. C. So it is necessary to learn to deal with it. D. But you do not have to push yourself too hard. E.

F 【解析】 【导语】 本文讲述了青少年常常面临来自学习、友谊和家庭的压力，压力本身是生活的常态，但过多的压力会损害身心健康，并介绍了运动、倾诉情绪、设立合理期待、享受小乐趣等缓解压力的办法。 【16题详解】 上文“Pressure is a normal part of life, but too much of it can influence your physical health as well as your state of mind.(压力是生活中正常的一部分，但过多的压力会影响你的身体健康以及精神状态。)”说明压力过大存在危害，下文引出各种缓解压力的方法。选项C“所以学会应对压力很有必要。”承接上文压力的危害，引出下文的解决办法，起到承上启下的作用。 【17题详解】 上文“Many teenagers believe they need hours of hard training to get such benefits.(很多青少年认为他们需要数小时高强度训练才能获得这些好处。)”说明部分青少年对运动减压存在误解，下文“A short 20-minute walk can also help you relax after a long school day.(短短20分钟的散步也能帮你在漫长的一天学习后放松下来。)”说明不必进行长时间高强度运动。选项B“你不必做劳累的运动。”承接上文，引出下文短途散步的例子。 【18题详解】 下文“Many teenagers keep their worries inside, afraid that others will think they are weak. Keeping feelings hidden will make stress build up little by little. You can talk to your parents, teachers or close friends.(很多青少年把烦恼藏在心里，害怕别人觉得自己脆弱。把情绪藏起来会让压力一点点累积。你可以和父母、老师或者好友倾诉。)”说明本段核心是倾诉内心感受。选项A“把你的感受说出来。”作为本段小标题，概括本段主旨。 【19题详解】 上文“It is great to try your best and make progress in different fields.(尽自己最大努力、在不同方面取得进步是很好的。)”肯定努力进取，下文“Accept that you cannot be perfect in everything.(接受你不可能在所有事情上都做到完美。)”说明不必强求完美。选项D“但是你不必把自己逼得太紧。”和上文形成转折，衔接后文接纳不完美的观点。 【20题详解】 上文“These activities do not require much time or money.(这些活动不需要花费很多时间和金钱。)”说明这些小乐趣简单易得，下文“It stops you from being buried in endless pressure.(它能让你不再被无尽的压力淹没。)”点明它的作用。选项F“这些小小的瞬间可以让你从忙碌的生活中得到喘息。”承接上文，说明这些小事带来的放松效果，并和下文保持一致。 第三部分　语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节　完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面材料，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 One evening I was running late for a meeting and I passed a friend in the hallway.

B My grandmother knew what every Italian-American grandmother knows: food brings us together, and feeding people is one of the best ways to show the people around you that you love them. No wonder our family traditions centered on food. We would gather in the kitchen for every birthday and holiday. My grandparents always hosted Christmas dinner. Right before we sat down to eat, Grandma would pull me aside quietly and show me a special dish made just for me: fresh pasta with tomato sauce, my favourite food in the world. It was a simple dish, but it meant so much to me. The warm pasta brought me great comfort and joy. Above all, it gave me a strong sense of belonging. I was a shy child and often felt unnoticed by others. This special dish told me Grandma saw me, cared about me and was willing to make extra efforts just for me. After I moved away and got married, she would still prepare pasta, dessert and fresh fruit every time I came back to visit. In 2020, my daughter was born and I could not travel home for Christmas. I cooked our family’s traditional pasta and showed it to Grandma through a FaceTime call. I had no idea then that it would be our last conversation. She passed away unexpectedly shortly after the holiday season. I thought it unfair that Grandma left so soon after I became a mother. Holding my baby girl, I felt sad that my daughter would never feel Grandma’s warm love, enjoy her tasty cooking or hear her funny jokes. I kept wondering how I could pass on that same feeling of belonging and love to my little daughter. 4. What does food mean in the author’s family according to the first two paragraphs? A. A link connecting family members. B. A tradition only for birthdays and holidays. C. A symbol of happiness among family members. D. A way to satisfy hunger during family gatherings. 5. What made the author feel unique about the pasta? A. The pasta was a rare dish that was difficult to make. B. The pasta showed grandmother’s love and attention. C. The author was the only one who was offered the pasta. D. The pasta showed the author was important among her peers. 6. Why did the author feel unfair about her grandmother’s passing? A. Because she couldn’t cook her grandmother traditional foods. B. Because she had no chance to say goodbye to her grandmother. C. Because her grandmother didn’t get to see her daughter grow up. D. Because her daughter would miss out her grandmother’s warmth. 7. Which of the following can best describe the author’s grandmother? A. Helpful and generous. B. Thoughtful and caring. C. Careful and brave. D. Humorous and responsible. C Jennifer Destefano received an unfamiliar call. “Mom, some bad people are holding me!” her daughter’s voice cried. The caller demanded money, warning that he would drug the girl and leave her in Mexico if she refused. While she kept him on the line to buy time, her friends managed to reach her daughter, only to find that she was safe and enjoying a skiing trip in Arizona. The voice from the phone was totally fake. Voice cloning, which has extremely far-reaching effects, works when a short voice sample of a person is used to train an AI model. Once trained, the model can read any given text and sound just like the original speaker. This function will be included in Apple’s IOS 17, intended to help those who are at risk of losing their voices. ElevenLabs, an AI startup, enables users to create voice clones in minutes. When generating recordings, users can choose between variability, with lively intonation, and stability, which sounds like a calm newsreader. Popular voice cloning brings new risks. It troubles the financial industry, where voice recognition is vital for user identification. In journalism, viewers doubt news only backed by audio. Some public figures refuse their genuine recordings. Consequently, more law-breakers take “It wasn’t me” as an excuse to escape punishment. This technology also creates a mixed situation for creative industries. Professional voice actors, who devote years to honing their vocal skills, may have their unique voices copied in seconds. Though some actors have accidentally given away rights to their voices, there is another side to the story. Val Kilmer, who lost most of his voice to throat cancer, regained his voice for his movie through this technology. It also saves actors from repeated recording sessions in the studio. 8. Why does the author talk about Destefano’s experience? A. To explain why Destefano was cheated. B. To praise a mother's love for her daughter. C. To teach people how to recognize fake voices. D. To draw readers’ attention to voice cloning. 9. What does the underlined word “variability” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A. the state of being changeable B. the quality of being stable C. the ability to be clear D. the chance to be natural 10. What impact may voice cloning make? A. Public figures dare not make recordings. B. Broadcasting will disappear in journalism. C. Criminals use it as an excuse to escape punishment. D. Financial industry will abandon voice identification. 11. What is voice cloning’s influence in creative industries? A. Disastrous. B. Double-edged. C. Beneficial. D. Short-termed. D We often think holidays are always happy and social, with family parties and shared customs. However, this social time — even happy moments with family — can be tiring. Shopping for gifts, travelling or hosting guests can add up and make them exhausted. In a recent survey made by Solitude (孤独) Lab in the UK, people were asked what feelings they linked with holidays. Most of them chose words about love and being together. But some also chose "calm" and "relaxed". This shows people hope to get both close relationships and rest. Short periods of being alone can help keep a good balance. In some experiments, researchers found that people’s strong feelings, such as excitement or worry, became weaker after staying alone for just 15 to 30 minutes. During the time, participants could enjoy themselves on the phone, read books or just sit quietly by themselves. The researchers also found physical evidence that being alone helps the body reduce stress faster. So it works well when people are under great pressure. Here, solitude is not running away from others. Instead, it is a method to adjust ourselves. In today’s world, social rules have changed, especially after COVID-19. More people embrace time alone instead of fearing it. Our attitude greatly influences how we feel when we stay alone. Being alone is good for thoughtful activities. For example, we can think about happy moments in the past year, or do easy activities like walking in a nearby park.
