Miracle Moore, a 10-year-old girl has got praise as a hero from government officials at a ceremony (典礼) after she helped her mother give birth to her baby sister at home with little more than some guidance from a 911 operator.
Miracle Moore dialed up emergency help after her mom went into labor three weeks early at their home in Jennings, Missouri, north of St Louis, on 22 October. There wasn’t time to get her mother—Viola Fair—to a hospital, so the operator told the girl what she should do through the birthing process. The girl relayed the information to her mother over the 10-minute phone call. When it was over, Fair and Miracle welcomed a baby girl named Jayla to their family and the world.
“It was surely a miracle because once I had the baby, she came out, I couldn’t really pick her up, and then Miracle came and she wrapped (包裹) her up in a towel,” Fair said of her daughter. “She wiped her off and rubbed her back a little bit, so she could cry. So she was really helpful. I am very thankful.”
Medical staff soon arrived to bring the new baby and her mother to a hospital for an examination, and everyone was finally given a clean bill of health.
Miracle was honored for her heroism at the ceremony. Afterward, she said the most exciting moment of the entire experience for her was getting to be the first person who saw Jayla. Above all, the experience made Miracle realize what she wants to devote her life to when she grows up. “I want to be a doctor,” Miracle said at the ceremony.
The 911 operator who spoke to Miracle on the day of Jayla’s birth, Scott Stranghoener, said that the 10-year-old “did an amazing job”. “She followed all of my instructions to a T,” Stranghoener said.
She truly lived up to her name, Miracle Moore.

Fresh fruit juice has become increasingly popular in many diets - especially among those consumers who are pressed for time and concerned about their health.Fruit juice has also been linked to beliefs that it can help people lose weight.But is juicing really as healthy as we think
A recent study reveals hard truths about fruit juice.
All fruits contain sugars and don’t seem to have harmful effects unless they contribute to excess(过量的)daily calories.This is because the fiber which is found in whole fruit is undamaged，and the sugar is contained within the fruit’s cells.It takes our digestive system a while to break these cells down and for sugar to enter the bloodstream.
This is not the case with fruit juice.Different from whole fruit，the natural sugar in fruit juice counts as “free sugars”，just like honey and added sugars.With the fiber removed，fruit juice’s sugar is absorbed more quickly.A sudden rise of blood sugar causes the pancreas(胰腺)to release insulin(胰岛素)to bring it back down to a normal level.Over time，this system can wear out，increasing the risk of developing type-2 diabetes(糖尿病).
In 2013，after analysing the health data of 100，000 people collected bet ween 1986 and 2009，researchers found that fruit juice consumption was linked with increased risk of type-2 diabetes．They’ve concluded that even when fruit juice is similar in the nutritional content to whole fruit，fruit juice leads to faster and larger changes in insulin levels since liquids pass through the stomach faster than solids.
“Although fruit juice is better than no fruit at all，there are lots of limits，” said Dr.Amy Smith，professor of medicine at the University of Virginia.“It particularly comes with risks when we consume more than I50ml of free sugars per day，or when it puts us over our recommended calorie intake.It provides us with vitamins - but fruit juice is far from a quick fix.”
8. What leads to the increasing fruit juice popularity
A. Experts’ recommendation． B. Its obvious medical effects．
C. Its assumed benefits to health． D. People’s improved life quality．
9. Why is whole fruit healthier
A. It provides better nutrition． B. Its fiber slows sugar absorption．
C. It protects our digestive system． D. Its fiber helps remove extra sugar．
10. How did researchers draw the conclusion in 2013
A. By observing the blood sugar level．
B. By comparing liquid and solid intake．
C. By analysing previously collected data．
D. By interviewing type-2 diabetes patients.
11. What is Dr. Smith’s attitude to fruit juice
A. Positive． B. Negative． C. Objective． D. Unclear．
D
Rivers are very important. Humans rely on them for food and water. But rivers can destroy things, too. They can flood, or rise over their banks, making the water run into the nearby land. Floods can also kill humans and wildlife. However, floods are not always bad. Some ecosystems need them every once in a while.
Flooding can not only drown animals but also destroy habitats. For example, a flood in India in 2012 killed many one－horned rhinos. Flood waters can pick up dirt from riverbanks, which makes the water dirty. Too much dirt will clog rivers and streams, preventing the river from flowing. Sometimes flood waters can carry pollution to the sea and harm marine life. In addition, flood waters can carry disease, including hepatitis A and cholera.
However, not everything about floods is bad. Sometimes they bring new life to ecosystems. Flood waters carry nutrients to the nearby land. Over time, the water dries up and leaves behind particles (微粒) of dirt and mud. The particles are called sediment(沉淀物) which can be good due to its ability to improve the dirt and helps plants grow. Floods are important to some animals as well. For instance, some animals see floods as a sign that it is time to mate or migrate. Floods leave sediment on river beds where baby fish can grow and carry nutrients for small animals in the water to eat. Moreover, in dry seasons, water might dry up, but floods help refill the wetlands, keeping the ecosystem going.
Floods are a part of nature. They can destroy living things and the environment. But some ecosystems need floods to survive.
12. What’s the possible meaning of the underlined word “clog” in paragraph 2
A. become B. pollute C. block D. develop
13. How do floods help ecosystems
A. Nutrients carried by floods can make soil richer.
B. Floods make all the animals migrate more easily.
C. Tiny fish going with floods feed some animals.
D. Floods can improve the dirt and help plants grow.
14. What’s the main idea of paragraph 3
A. The way in which floods feed animals. B. The benefits of floods to ecosystems.
C. An effective means of improving soil. D. The reason for people’s appreciating floods.
15. What’s the best title of this article
A. The Many Effects of Flooding. B. The Secret of Flooding.
C. Floods－Not Everything Is So Bad. D. Floods－a Part of Nature.

Christmas Eve, my husband and our three children gathered in the living room. The presents were wrapped under the tree. Everything was perfect except one thing was missing the star on the top of the Christmas tree.
Lilly and Brandon were born first, and decorating the tree soon became the focus of our Christmas traditions. We would lift one of the kids up high to put the star on top. “The star that shone with promise,” I told the kids. The two kids took turns to do this important job.

Matt took the older kids’ hands and stepped back to give us some room. I took the star from its box. “Here, Finn,” I said, putting the star in his little hand. “It’s your turn to put this on the top of the tree!” I went to pick him up. Finn didn’t seem to understand. He threw the star on the floor and twisted in my arms.
“Finn,” I said, “It’s okay, honey.” Still, he fought me. Finally, I put him down. I wanted to try again, but he ran away. “Finn!” I called after him, but he ignored me.
“Give him time,” Matt said. It didn’t feel right to let Lilly or Brandon place the star instead. It was Finn’s turn, and I didn’t want to leave him out. So, the tree remained starless that Christmas.

There wasn’t time to get her mother—Viola Fair—to a hospital, so the operator told the girl what she should do through the birthing process. The girl relayed the information to her mother over the 10-minute phone call. (10月22日，在密苏里州圣路易斯北部詹宁斯的家中，Miracle Moore的母亲提前三周分娩，她随即拨打了紧急求助电话。没有时间把她的母亲Viola Fair送到医院，所以接线员告诉了这个女孩在分娩过程中应该做什么。女孩在10分钟的电话中向母亲传达了这一信息)”可知，第二段主要讲的是Miracle如何帮助她正在分娩的母亲。故选B。
【5题详解】

Fresh fruit juice has become increasingly popular in many diets - especially among those consumers who are pressed for time and concerned about their health.Fruit juice has also been linked to beliefs that it can help people lose weight.But is juicing really as healthy as we think
A recent study reveals hard truths about fruit juice.
All fruits contain sugars and don’t seem to have harmful effects unless they contribute to excess(过量的)daily calories.This is because the fiber which is found in whole fruit is undamaged，and the sugar is contained within the fruit’s cells.It takes our digestive system a while to break these cells down and for sugar to enter the bloodstream.
This is not the case with fruit juice.Different from whole fruit，the natural sugar in fruit juice counts as “free sugars”，just like honey and added sugars.With the fiber removed，fruit juice’s sugar is absorbed more quickly.A sudden rise of blood sugar causes the pancreas(胰腺)to release insulin(胰岛素)to bring it back down to a normal level.Over time，this system can wear out，increasing the risk of developing type-2 diabetes(糖尿病).
In 2013，after analysing the health data of 100，000 people collected bet ween 1986 and 2009，researchers found that fruit juice consumption was linked with increased risk of type-2 diabetes．They’ve concluded that even when fruit juice is similar in the nutritional content to whole fruit，fruit juice leads to faster and larger changes in insulin levels since liquids pass through the stomach faster than solids.
“Although fruit juice is better than no fruit at all，there are lots of limits，” said Dr.Amy Smith，professor of medicine at the University of Virginia.“It particularly comes with risks when we consume more than I50ml of free sugars per day，or when it puts us over our recommended calorie intake.It provides us with vitamins - but fruit juice is far from a quick fix.”
8. What leads to the increasing fruit juice popularity
A. Experts’ recommendation． B. Its obvious medical effects．
C. Its assumed benefits to health． D. People’s improved life quality．
9. Why is whole fruit healthier
A. It provides better nutrition． B. Its fiber slows sugar absorption．
C. It protects our digestive system． D. Its fiber helps remove extra sugar．
10. How did researchers draw the conclusion in 2013
A. By observing the blood sugar level．
B. By comparing liquid and solid intake．
C. By analysing previously collected data．
D. By interviewing type-2 diabetes patients.
11. What is Dr. Smith’s attitude to fruit juice
A. Positive． B. Negative． C. Objective． D. Unclear．
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了喝果汁并不像我们想象中美好。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第一句话“Fresh fruit juice has become increasingly popular in many diets - especially among those consumers who are pressed for time and concerned about their health. Fruit juice has also been linked to beliefs that it can help people lose weight.(新鲜果汁在许多饮食中越来越受欢迎，尤其是在那些时间紧迫和关心自己健康的消费者中。果汁也与它可以帮助人们减肥的信念有关。）”可知，是因为它被认为对健康有益导致果汁越来越受欢迎。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“This is because the fiber which is found in whole fruit is undamaged，and the sugar is contained within the fruit’s cells．It takes our digestive system a while to break these cells down and for sugar to enter the bloodstream.（这是因为在整个水果中发现的纤维是完好无损的，而糖包含在水果的细胞中。我们的消化系统需要一段时间来分解这些细胞，让糖进入血液）”可知，水果的纤维可以减缓糖的吸收，所以完整的水果更健康。故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“In 2013，after analysing the health data of 100，000 people collected bet ween 1986 and 2009，researchers found that fruit juice consumption was linked with increased risk of type-2 diabetes.（2013年，研究人员分析了从1986年到2009年收集的10万人的健康数据，发现喝果汁与患2型糖尿病的风险增加有关）”可知，研究人员是通过分析以前收集的数据得出这个结论的。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“'Although fruit juice is better than no fruit at all，there are lots of limits，'said Dr.Amy Smith，professor of medicine at the University of Virginia.'It particularly comes with risks when we consume more than I50ml of free sugars per day，or when it puts us over our recommended calorie intake.It provides us with vitamins - but fruit juice is far from a quick fix'”（弗吉尼亚大学医学教授艾米·史密斯博士说:“虽然果汁总比不吃水果好，但还是有很多限制。当我们每天摄入的游离糖超过I50ml，或者超过推荐的卡路里摄入量时，它就会带来风险。它能给我们提供维生素，但果汁远非速效解决之道。”）”可知，Dr．Smith认为果汁有好处，但是也不能多喝。观点中立客观。故选C项。

Rivers are very important. Humans rely on them for food and water. But rivers can destroy things, too. They can flood, or rise over their banks, making the water run into the nearby land. Floods can also kill humans and wildlife. However, floods are not always bad. Some ecosystems need them every once in a while.
Flooding can not only drown animals but also destroy habitats. For example, a flood in India in 2012 killed many one－horned rhinos. Flood waters can pick up dirt from riverbanks, which makes the water dirty. Too much dirt will clog rivers and streams, preventing the river from flowing. Sometimes flood waters can carry pollution to the sea and harm marine life. In addition, flood waters can carry disease, including hepatitis A and cholera.
However, not everything about floods is bad. Sometimes they bring new life to ecosystems. Flood waters carry nutrients to the nearby land. Over time, the water dries up and leaves behind particles (微粒) of dirt and mud. The particles are called sediment(沉淀物) which can be good due to its ability to improve the dirt and helps plants grow. Floods are important to some animals as well. For instance, some animals see floods as a sign that it is time to mate or migrate. Floods leave sediment on river beds where baby fish can grow and carry nutrients for small animals in the water to eat. Moreover, in dry seasons, water might dry up, but floods help refill the wetlands, keeping the ecosystem going.
Floods are a part of nature. They can destroy living things and the environment. But some ecosystems need floods to survive.
12. What’s the possible meaning of the underlined word “clog” in paragraph 2
A. become B. pollute C. block D. develop
13. How do floods help ecosystems
A. Nutrients carried by floods can make soil richer.
B. Floods make all the animals migrate more easily.
C. Tiny fish going with floods feed some animals.
D. Floods can improve the dirt and help plants grow.
14. What’s the main idea of paragraph 3
A. The way in which floods feed animals. B. The benefits of floods to ecosystems.
C. An effective means of improving soil. D. The reason for people’s appreciating floods.
15. What’s the best title of this article
A. The Many Effects of Flooding. B. The Secret of Flooding.
C. Floods－Not Everything Is So Bad. D. Floods－a Part of Nature.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作为大自然的一部分，洪水对于生态系统既有好处也有坏处。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“Flood waters can pick up dirt from riverbanks, which makes the water dirty.(洪水会从河岸上吸收泥土，从而使水变脏。)”以及“Too much dirt will clog rivers and streams, preventing the river from flowing.(太多的泥土会clog河流和溪流，阻止河水流淌。)”可知，洪水会沿途吸收泥土，而太多的泥土会堵塞河道，以至于河水流淌出现困难。由此可推测此处的clog的意思应该是“堵塞”。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“However, not everything about floods is bad. Sometimes they bring new life to ecosystems. Flood waters carry nutrients to the nearby land. Over time, the water dries up and leaves behind particles (微粒) of dirt and mud. The particles are called sediment(沉淀物) which can be good due to its ability to improve the dirt and helps plants grow.(然而，洪水并非一无是处。有时它们会给生态系统带来新的生命。洪水把营养物质带到附近的土地上。随着时间的推移，水会干涸，留下灰尘和泥土的颗粒。这些颗粒被称为沉积物，它可以很好地改善土壤，帮助植物生长。)”可知，洪水沿途所携带的营养物质可以使土壤更丰富，从而更好地帮助生态系统。故选A项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“However, not everything about floods is bad. Sometimes they bring new life to ecosystems.(然而，洪水并非一无是处。有时它们会给生态系统带来新的生命。)”以及“Floods are important to some animals as well.(洪水对一些动物也很重要。)”以及“Moreover, in dry seasons, water might dry up, but floods help refill the wetlands, keeping the ecosystem going.(此外，在旱季，水可能会干涸，但洪水有助于为湿地补充水分，保持生态系统继续运转。)”可知文章第三段主要讲的是洪水对于生态系统的好处。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可以看到文章前两段主要讲洪水对于生态系统的不利的方面，第三段主要讲洪水对于生态系统的益处，文章最后一段“Floods are a part of nature. They can destroy living things and the environment. But some ecosystems need floods to survive.(洪水是自然的一部分。它们可以破坏生物和环境。但一些生态系统需要洪水才能生存下来。)”总结全文，点明主题——洪水是大自然的一部分。所以“洪水是大自然的一部分”作为标题最合适。故选D项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人工智能聊天机器人ChatGPT强大的功能及其缺陷。
【36题详解】
考查现在完成时。句意：最近几个月，微软开始将ChatGPT背后的GPT语言模型集成到Bing、Edge和Microsoft Office等产品中。分析句子结构可知，空处缺谓语动词，时间状语是“in recent months”，用现在完成时，主语是“Microsoft”，故填has begun。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意：最近几个月，微软开始将ChatGPT背后的GPT语言模型集成到Bing、Edge和Microsoft Office等产品中。根据“such as Bing, Edge and Microsoft Office”可知，不止一种产品，故用名词复数作宾语。故填products。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：事实上，ChatGPT聊天机器人非常受欢迎，谷歌已经推出了自己的聊天机器人竞争对手Google Bard。根据“hit”可知，空处需填冠词，a hit表示“轰动一时的事物，火爆的事物”符合句意。故填a。
【39题详解】
考查状语从句。句意：虽然它不能完全取代人类，但企业和个人可以用它来完成很多任务——从进行市场调查到草拟各种文件。分析句意可知，“it can’t fully replace humans”是让步状语从句，表示“虽然它不能完全取代人类”，故用连词although/though/while引导。故填Although/Though/While。
【40题详解】
考查动名词。句意：虽然它不能完全取代人类，但企业和个人可以用它来完成很多任务——从进行市场调查到草拟各种文件。根据介词“to”可知，空处需填动名词作宾语，故填drafting。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：你甚至可以玩由ChatGPT发明的游戏《Sumplete》，这是一款类似于九宫格的逻辑谜题。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语动词“can play”，故空处需填非谓语动词，“a game”和“invent”之间是被动关系，故用过去分词作后置定语。故填invented。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意：ChatGPT在功能方面仍然有局限性，并且可能会出错。In terms of表示“在……方面”，符合句意。故填in。
【43题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：你可能需要非常精确地限制它所做的工作，因为ChatGPT编写的一些答案可能完全不正确。分析句子结构可知，because引导的原因状语从句中缺谓语动词，描述客观事实用一般现在时，主语是“some answers”，故谓语动词用复数。故填are。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意：如果没有限制，这种强大的技术可能会给你带来比它本身更多的问题。根据“technology”可知，空处需填形容词作定语，修饰名词，power作名词，表示“权力，力量”，形容词powerful表示“强大的”符合句意。故填powerful。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意：除此之外，ChatGPT也可能像其他任何网站或应用程序一样遭受非常严重的错误。根据“severe”可知，空处需填副词作状语，修饰形容词，故填extremely。

Christmas Eve, my husband and our three children gathered in the living room. The presents were wrapped under the tree. Everything was perfect except one thing was missing the star on the top of the Christmas tree.
Lilly and Brandon were born first, and decorating the tree soon became the focus of our Christmas traditions. We would lift one of the kids up high to put the star on top. “The star that shone with promise,” I told the kids. The two kids took turns to do this important job.
Then Finn was born. He was a happy baby until Matt and I noticed something odd when he was 14 months old. He didn’t interact with us anymore. Then, his autism (自闭症) diagnosis came out. How to be the family Finn needed us to be In so many situations, I didn’t have an answer.
Finn turned three years old, and I hoped he was ready to take part in adding the final touch to our tree. It would be his first time, a chance to connect with us through this tradition. Matt took the older kids’ hands and stepped back to give us some room. I took the star from its box. “Here, Finn,” I said, putting the star in his little hand. “It’s your turn to put this on the top of the tree!” I went to pick him up. Finn didn’t seem to understand. He threw the star on the floor and twisted in my arms.
“Finn,” I said, “It’s okay, honey.” Still, he fought me. Finally, I put him down. I wanted to try again, but he ran away. “Finn!” I called after him, but he ignored me.
“Give him time,” Matt said. It didn’t feel right to let Lilly or Brandon place the star instead. It was Finn’s turn, and I didn’t want to leave him out. So, the tree remained starless that Christmas. The next Christmas too. And the one after that. waiting for Finn. This Christmas, however, I simply gave up trying and left the star in the box somewhere in the basement.

【答案】参考范文
Matt brought some presents to the living room for the kids besides the starless tree. Lilly and Brandon were practically shouting with excitement. “Come on, Dad!” “Let’s do this!” I cast a glance at Finn, still playing on his own. With a sigh, I sat down on the couch. I thought Finn might get to his gifts in his own time. Lilly and Brandon surrounded their father while he sorted the presents. Suddenly, Finn came up to me. He pulled on my sleeve to get my attention. Finn pointed to the top of the tree.
“You want to put the star on the top ” I asked, looking where his finger was pointing. Finn nodded. I hurried to the basement and got the star. I handed him the star. He gripped it tightly and determinedly. I could feel the other kids holding their breath. Matt raised Finn onto his shoulders for a good reach. My heart pounded. Finn held on to the star. “Go, Finn! You can do it!” Lilly and Brandon said. Finn set the star on the top branch and slowly drew back his hand. We all cheered with tears. Finn looked down at us from a top his dad’s shoulders, beaming like a star himself.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者一家人每年过圣诞节的时候，总会让一个孩子来摘圣诞树树顶上的那颗星星。这一年轮到作者自己最小的孩子Finn，Finn有些与众不同，因为他有自闭症。连续两年让他摘圣诞树树顶上的星星，他总是不感兴趣，也从未加入到我们一家人的庆祝活动中。在接下来的两个圣诞节中都是一样的，圣诞树上没有闪亮的星星。在今年的圣诞节那天，作者干脆放弃了尝试，把这颗星星留在了地下室某个地方的盒子里。出乎意料的事情发生了，Finn在家人的耐心等待和鼓励下，他终于走向了那颗星星，那年的圣诞树，对作者的家人来说，是最闪亮的圣诞树。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“除了那棵没有星星的树，马特还给孩子们带来了一些礼物。”可知，第一段可描写作者和家人像往年一样过圣诞节。但是，突然间Finn与往年有所不同，吸引了作者的目光，让作者一家人吃惊的是，他指着圣诞树树顶。
②由第二段首句内容“你想把星星放在顶上吗？我看着他手指的地方问道。”可知，第二段可描写作者一家人鼓励和期待Finn将星星放在圣诞树树顶的场景和激动兴奋的情绪。
