阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Classic Books
The Great Gatsby
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Published almost a century ago in 1925, the story of the striving Jay Gatsby is still deeply influential in its exploration of class, society, and the false promise that money can buy happiness. Gatsby’s misguided chase for his first love is a sad tale that spans the ages. At the time, the book was considered a commercial failure, but you’d be hard to find a high school course today that didn’t include it.
Catcher in the Rye
J.D. Salinger
Written in 1951, Catcher in the Rye brilliantly describes the lonely teen experience of having to grow up and leave the tenderness and innocence(纯真)of childhood behind. Though young adult fiction didn’t exist in its current form when J.D. Salinger wrote the novel, it’s considered one of the first teen books and constantly appears on high school reading lists.
Frankenstein
Mary Shelley
Written in 1818, this classic from Mary Shelley tells the tale of Victor Frankenstein and the monster(怪物) he creates. The themes of creation and responsibility the book explores still exist today, as technology and science produce more possibilities and power than ever before.
Little Women
Louis May Alcott
The story of the March sisters is a true American classic, and one of the most popular books written by a woman. Published in 1868 and set in the time of the Civil War, the book is popular because of its description of strong women and sisterly love. Not only is the novel a classic, but its film adaptations (of which there have been many) became classics in their own right.
1 What do the first two books have in common
A. They belong to children’s books. B. They explore the theme of love.
C. They are read in high school. D. They are based on students’ stories.
2. What is special about Frankenstein
A. It reflects present subjects. B. It is connected with science.
C. It produces more possibilities. D. It is about Mary Shelley’s story.
3 Which book will you choose if you are interested in the family story

C. Frankenstein. D. Little Women.

Human activities have caused severe narrowness in over half of the world’s largest lakes in the past 30 years causing risks to health, economies, and the environment, according to a study in the journal Science. The global decline in water storage equals to 17 times the capacity of Lake Mead, the largest lake in the U.S. Overuse of water for agriculture, development, and human-caused climate change are the main factors driving the decline, particularly in natural lakes. The accumulation of dirt and sand behind dams also contributes to the fall of water levels in lakes.
The findings showed “significant declines,” stated Fangfang Yao, the lead author of the study. “Roughly one-quarter of the world’s population lives in a basin with a drying lake,” Yao said. “So the potential impact could be significant.”
At least half of the decline in natural lakes was driven by human-caused climate change and overconsumption, which should remind water managers to improve protection and water efficiency, according to Yao. “If you know a lake is falling and that loss resulted from human activities, can we attach more importance to protection and improving water efficiency ” she said.
A climate change-driven drought and an ever-growing human thirst have continued to consume the two largest lakes in the U.S. Lake Powell and Lake Mead, which the Colorado River feeds. Lake Chad, one of Africa’s largest freshwater lakes which supplies nearly 40 million people with water, has shrunk (收缩) by an estimated 90% since the 1960s.
The United Nations regards access to safe drinking water as a universal human right, yet around 2 billion people lack access to it, and half of the global population experiences severe water shortage annually.
“Uncertainties are increasing,” said Richard Connor, the editor-in-chief of a U.N. water report published earlier this year at a press conference in late March, where world leaders met to try and find better strategies for managing the planet’s rare freshwater. “If we don’t address it, there will definitely be a global disaster.”
4. What can we learn about lakes from paragraph 1
A. They are being developed. B. They are becoming smaller.
C. They are causing climate change. D. They are damaged by human activities.
5. Which of the following is the main cause of water shortage
A. Severe environmental problems. B. Ever-increasing world’s population.
C. Climate change and overuse of water. D. Drought and an ever-growing human thirst.
6. What does the underlined word “universal” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Unique. B. Normal. C. Particular. D. Common.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To warn people to save water. B. To call on people to protect the environment.
C. To tell people water shortage in the world. D. To find better ways of managing freshwater.
C
Auerbach is one of Britain’s most famous painters, with works in every major national gallery. He has been a significant member of the post-war artists, including Bacon, Moore and Freud, whose creative originality made the UK a major pulse (脉搏) for art.
He has also, over the decades, invented a language of art that is recognisably his own, stretching beyond any comfort zone, shocking himself and, in turn, the viewer. A special structural formality in his portraits exists alongside free-flowing marks arising from intense observation. A must-see exhibition of nine paintings and 11 drawings, it’s small and, as it is in a commercial gallery, completely free.
Auerbach is today’s Grand Old Master of British Art, famously spending 365 days a year in the studio searching through paint for hard truths to give a picture of the human form. A personal connection exists between us as I took his photograph in his studio, marking our friendship lasting almost 40 years.
During the pandemic (流行病), for the first time in 70 years, Auerbach stopped having art models: so using himself. He stayed alone in his brown cave of a studio in Camden, North London and turned to self-portraits. Perhaps this is the ultimate portrait of the artist as an old man, as he explores his own face in a way he had previously avoided. “I didn’t find actual formal components (组成部分) of my head all that interesting when I was younger and less tired. Now that I’ve got bags under my eyes, things are sagging and so on, there’s more material to work with,” he writes.
Opposite to the belief that old age may not inspire great works, Auerbach’s late career proves otherwise. Like Titian, who influenced Rembrandt, Rubens, and Velázquez, Auerbach’s powerful expressiveness is shown in his painting. His new works give an example of the idea of late greats, proving his artistic skills even in his later years.
8. What do we know about Auerbach
A. He made art a major in the UK. B. He took pictures of the human form.
C. He created his own art language. D. He exhibited his paintings regularly.
9. Why did Auerbach draw himself during the pandemic
A. He stayed alone in the studio. B. He stopped using art models.
C. He found his head interesting. D. He wanted to explore his own face.
10. What can we infer about Auerbach in the last paragraph
A. He created great works in his old age. B. He took up painting with other artists.
C. He had opposite belief in great works. D. He had a deep influence on some artists.
11. From which is the text probably taken
A. A literature textbook. B. An art magazine.
C. A research paper. D. A science fiction.
D
It’s been about six months since ChatGPT was released to the public, and people everywhere realized just how powerful artificial intelligence already is. Suddenly, we started using the AI chatbot to do all sorts of things, like writing songs, taking the bar exam, and identifying bugs in computer code.
All the wonder and excitement about ChatGPT and other Al platforms comes mixed with anxiety: Will AI take our jobs Will it block democracy Will it kill us all Serious people are asking these questions. Just this week, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, the company that makes ChatGPT, testified before Congress and called for regulation (规定) of AI systems.
But there is a glimmer of hope—in the form of an economic study. The study looked at the customer service department of a big software company, and it found that ChatGPT made workers much more productive. More interesting, most of those gains came from less skilled workers, while the more skilled workers showed only slight improvement. Put in other words, Al narrowed the productivity gap between lower skilled workers and workers with more skills. This finding is very different from previous findings about the effect of technology on workers over the last four decades. A whole generation of economic research shows that computers have been a major force for increasing inequality. A force for a reduced middle class.
David Autor is a professor at MIT, and he is widely regarded as one of the greatest labor economists in the world. He led a lot of that initial research about the computer age and the labor market. And he thinks this study, and another one like it, suggest that we could use Al to expand job opportunities, lower barriers to entry to a whole range of occupations, and reduce inequality.
Today on the show, the American middle class has been reducing for more than forty years. Could AI help change that trend (趋势)
12. What can we say about ChatGPT
A. It can do housework for us. B. It makes people feel worried.
C. It satisfies the majority of people D. It came out more than six mouths ago.
13. What does the study tell us about AI
A. It causes inequality. B. It lessens the middle class.
C. It is useless for skilled workers. D. It improves workers’ productivity.
14. What is David Autor’s attitude towards AI
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Unconcerned.
15. Which can be the best title for the text
A. People’s Concern About AI B. Calls for Regulation of AI Systems
C ChatGPT Can Make Workers More Productive D. How AI Could Help Rebuild the Middle Class

Happy Mother’s Day
It was Mother’s Day and I was shopping at the local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson. As we were leaving after finishing our shopping, we realized that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and hit her head on the ground badly. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock. Fortunately, a lot of people stopped to help out.
While we were walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very worried about what had happened to the elderly couple. He said to me, “Mom, it’s not much fun falling over in front of everyone.” Seeing that there was a flower stall(摊位)at the front of the supermarket, he added, “Why shouldn’t we buy the lady a flower It will make her feel better.” I was amazed that he’d come up with this sweet idea. So we went over and told the flower seller what we wanted. “Just take it,” she replied. “I can’t take your money for such a wonderful deed.”
By now medical staff had arrived, and were looking after the injured woman. There we saw the old man was also in great fear, but he tried to comfort his wife and held her hands tightly to encourage her to be strong. We gave the flower to the woman’s husband and I told him it was from my son. At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you very much.” He then turned to me, “You have a wonderful son. Happy Mother’s Day to you.”
The man bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Regardless of being badly hurt, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile. And my son bent down his body to the injured lady and gently said, “Happy Mother’s Day to you, too.”

Human activities have caused severe narrowness in over half of the world’s largest lakes in the past 30 years, causing risks to health, economies, and the environment, according to a study in the journal Science. The global decline in water storage equals to 17 times the capacity of Lake Mead, the largest lake in the U.S. Overuse of water for agriculture, development, and human-caused climate change are the main factors driving the decline, particularly in natural lakes. The accumulation of dirt and sand behind dams also contributes to the fall of water levels in lakes.
The findings showed “significant declines,” stated Fangfang Yao, the lead author of the study. “Roughly one-quarter of the world’s population lives in a basin with a drying lake,” Yao said. “So the potential impact could be significant.”
At least half of the decline in natural lakes was driven by human-caused climate change and overconsumption, which should remind water managers to improve protection and water efficiency, according to Yao. “If you know a lake is falling and that loss resulted from human activities, can we attach more importance to protection and improving water efficiency ” she said.
A climate change-driven drought and an ever-growing human thirst have continued to consume the two largest lakes in the U.S. Lake Powell and Lake Mead, which the Colorado River feeds. Lake Chad, one of Africa’s largest freshwater lakes which supplies nearly 40 million people with water, has shrunk (收缩) by an estimated 90% since the 1960s.
The United Nations regards access to safe drinking water as a universal human right, yet around 2 billion people lack access to it, and half of the global population experiences severe water shortage annually.
“Uncertainties are increasing,” said Richard Connor, the editor-in-chief of a U.N. water report published earlier this year at a press conference in late March, where world leaders met to try and find better strategies for managing the planet’s rare freshwater. “If we don’t address it, there will definitely be a global disaster.”
4. What can we learn about lakes from paragraph 1
A. They are being developed. B. They are becoming smaller.
C. They are causing climate change. D. They are damaged by human activities.
5. Which of the following is the main cause of water shortage
A. Severe environmental problems. B. Ever-increasing world’s population.
C. Climate change and overuse of water. D. Drought and an ever-growing human thirst.
6. What does the underlined word “universal” in paragraph 5 mean
A. Unique. B. Normal. C. Particular. D. Common.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To warn people to save water. B. To call on people to protect the environment.
C. To tell people water shortage in the world. D. To find better ways of managing freshwater.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者通过这篇文章告诉人们在过去的30年里，气候变化和过度用水导致水量严重下降。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据首段首句“Human activities have caused severe narrowness in over half of the world’s largest lakes in the past 30 years, causing risks to health, economies, and the environment, according to a study in the journal Science. (根据《科学》杂志的一项研究，在过去的30年里，人类活动导致世界上一半以上的最大湖泊严重变窄，给健康、经济和环境带来了风险。)”可知，淡水湖正变得越来越窄。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据首段倒数第二句“Overuse of water for agriculture, development, and human-caused climate change are the main factors driving the decline, particularly in natural lakes. (农业、开发和人为造成的气候变化过度用水是导致水量下降的主要因素，尤其是在天然湖泊中。)”可知，气候变化和过度用水是导致水量下降的主要因素。故选C。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段“The United Nations regards access to safe drinking water as a universal human right, yet around 2 billion people lack access to it, and half of the global population experiences severe water shortage annually. (联合国将获得安全饮用水视为一项 universal人权，但全球约有20亿人无法获得安全饮用水，全球每年有一半人口严重缺水。)”以及常识可知，有安全饮用水是所有人的权利，但是全球约有20亿人无法获得安全饮用水，全球每年有一半人口严重缺水，说明缺水问题很普遍，普遍人权没有得到保障。故可推测，划线词应为Common“常见的，普遍的”。故选D。

C
Auerbach is one of Britain’s most famous painters, with works in every major national gallery. He has been a significant member of the post-war artists, including Bacon, Moore and Freud, whose creative originality made the UK a major pulse (脉搏) for art.
He has also, over the decades, invented a language of art that is recognisably his own, stretching beyond any comfort zone, shocking himself and, in turn, the viewer. A special structural formality in his portraits exists alongside free-flowing marks arising from intense observation. A must-see exhibition of nine paintings and 11 drawings, it’s small and, as it is in a commercial gallery, completely free.
Auerbach is today’s Grand Old Master of British Art, famously spending 365 days a year in the studio searching through paint for hard truths to give a picture of the human form. A personal connection exists between us as I took his photograph in his studio, marking our friendship lasting almost 40 years.
During the pandemic (流行病), for the first time in 70 years, Auerbach stopped having art models: so using himself. He stayed alone in his brown cave of a studio in Camden, North London and turned to self-portraits. Perhaps this is the ultimate portrait of the artist as an old man, as he explores his own face in a way he had previously avoided. “I didn’t find actual formal components (组成部分) of my head all that interesting when I was younger and less tired. Now that I’ve got bags under my eyes, things are sagging and so on, there’s more material to work with,” he writes.
Opposite to the belief that old age may not inspire great works, Auerbach’s late career proves otherwise. Like Titian, who influenced Rembrandt, Rubens, and Velázquez, Auerbach’s powerful expressiveness is shown in his painting. His new works give an example of the idea of late greats, proving his artistic skills even in his later years.
8. What do we know about Auerbach
A. He made art a major in the UK. B. He took pictures of the human form.
C. He created his own art language. D. He exhibited his paintings regularly.
9. Why did Auerbach draw himself during the pandemic
A. He stayed alone in the studio. B. He stopped using art models.
C. He found his head interesting. D. He wanted to explore his own face.
10. What can we infer about Auerbach in the last paragraph
A. He created great works in his old age. B. He took up painting with other artists.
C. He had opposite belief in great works. D. He had a deep influence on some artists.
11. From which is the text probably taken
A. A literature textbook. B. An art magazine.
C. A research paper. D. A science fiction.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. B
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“He has also, over the decades, invented a language of art that is recognisably his own, stretching beyond any comfort zone, shocking himself and, in turn, the viewer.”（几十年来，他还独创了一套公认属于他自己的艺术语言，延伸到任何舒适区之外，震撼了自己，由此也震动了他的观赏者。）可知，奥尔巴赫发明了一套艺术语言。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“During the pandemic (流行病), for the first time in 70 years, Auerbach stopped having art models: so using himself.

【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Opposite to the belief that old age may not inspire great works, Auerbach’s late career proves otherwise.”（有人认为人一旦年事已高，便再也创作不出伟大的作品，而奥尔巴赫晚年艺术生涯则推翻了这个观点。）和“His new works give an example of the idea of late greats, proving his artistic skills even in his later years.”（他的新作品就是晚年创作也有高成就的一个例子，证明了他晚年的高超艺术技巧。）可知，奥尔巴赫在晚年仍能创作出伟大的作品，影响深远。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，文章主要讲述了英国著名画家奥尔巴赫的艺术生涯与艺术成就，与艺术有关，所以这篇文章可能是出自一篇艺术期刊。故选B项。

It’s been about six months since ChatGPT was released to the public, and people everywhere realized just how powerful artificial intelligence already is. Suddenly, we started using the AI chatbot to do all sorts of things, like writing songs, taking the bar exam, and identifying bugs in computer code.
All the wonder and excitement about ChatGPT and other Al platforms comes mixed with anxiety: Will AI take our jobs Will it block democracy Will it kill us all Serious people are asking these questions. Just this week, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, the company that makes ChatGPT, testified before Congress and called for regulation (规定) of AI systems.
But there is a glimmer of hope—in the form of an economic study. The study looked at the customer service department of a big software company, and it found that ChatGPT made workers much more productive. More interesting, most of those gains came from less skilled workers, while the more skilled workers showed only slight improvement. Put in other words, Al narrowed the productivity gap between lower skilled workers and workers with more skills. This finding is very different from previous findings about the effect of technology on workers over the last four decades. A whole generation of economic research shows that computers have been a major force for increasing inequality. A force for a reduced middle class.
David Autor is a professor at MIT, and he is widely regarded as one of the greatest labor economists in the world. He led a lot of that initial research about the computer age and the labor market. And he thinks this study, and another one like it, suggest that we could use Al to expand job opportunities, lower barriers to entry to a whole range of occupations, and reduce inequality.
Today on the show, the American middle class has been reducing for more than forty years. Could AI help change that trend (趋势)
12. What can we say about ChatGPT
A. It can do housework for us. B. It makes people feel worried.
C. It satisfies the majority of people D. It came out more than six mouths ago.
13. What does the study tell us about AI
A. It causes inequality. B. It lessens the middle class.
C. It is useless for skilled workers. D. It improves workers’ productivity.
14. What is David Autor’s attitude towards AI
A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Unconcerned.
15. Which can be the best title for the text
A. People’s Concern About AI B. Calls for Regulation of AI Systems
C. ChatGPT Can Make Workers More Productive D. How AI Could Help Rebuild the Middle Class
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲的是由ChatGPT的发布所引起的关于人工智能对中产阶级所带来的改变的讨论。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“All the wonder and excitement about ChatGPT and other Al platforms comes mixed with anxiety: Will AI take our jobs Will it block democracy Will it kill us all (关于ChatGPT和其他人工智能平台的所有惊奇和兴奋都伴随着忧虑：人工智能会抢走我们的工作吗？它会阻碍民主吗？它会杀死我们所有人吗？)”可知，ChatGPT让人们感到担忧。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“The study looked at the customer service department of a big software company, and it found that ChatGPT made workers much more productive.(这项研究调查了一家大型软件公司的客户服务部门，发现ChatGPT使员工的工作效率大大提高。)”可知，这项研究告诉了我们人工智能提高了工人的生产率。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“And he thinks this study, and another one like it, suggest that we could use Al to expand job opportunities, lower barriers to entry to a whole range of occupations, and reduce inequality.(他认为这项研究，以及另一项类似的研究，表明我们可以利用人工智能来扩大就业机会，降低进入各种职业的门槛，减少不平等。)”可知，David Autor对人工智能的态度是支持的，故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是倒数第三段的“A whole generation of economic research shows that computers have been a major force for increasing inequality. A force for a reduced middle class.(整整一代的经济研究表明，计算机一直是加剧不平等的主要力量。中产阶级人数减少的力量。)”，倒数第二段的“And he thinks this study, and another one like it, suggest that we could use Al to expand job opportunities, lower barriers to entry to a whole range of occupations, and reduce inequality.(他认为这项研究，以及另一项类似的研究，表明我们可以利用人工智能来扩大就业机会，降低进入各种职业的门槛，减少不平等。)”和最后一段的“Today on the show, the American middle class has been reducing for more than forty years. Could AI help change that trend (趋势) (现在正在上演的是美国中产阶级的人数已经减少了40多年。人工智能能帮助改变这一趋势吗？)”可知，本文主要讲的是由ChatGPT的发布所引起的关于人工智能对中产阶级所带来的改变的讨论，因此最好的题目是D选项“How AI Could Help Rebuild the Middle Class(人工智能如何帮助重建中产阶级)”。故选D。

Five tiny tips that can improve your to-do list
Is there a more effective way to write my to-do list Here are five surprising and useful tips.
___16___ . “If it takes less than two minutes, just do it right then and there,” says Angel Trinidad. It’s not worth the bandwidth to write it down, remember it and do it.
Automate(使…自动化)what you can. If you find yourself writing “buy more dog food”on your to-do list every few weeks, save yourself the effort of adding it to your to-do list by signing up for a subscription to get the food delivered to your house each month. ___17___
Break each task into smaller pieces. People aren’t specific enough when they write down items on their to-do lists. For example, I want to retile my kitchen floor. That’s not a to-do list item because there are too many steps packed into one big goal. ___18___ , like “call hardware store for an estimate” or “pick out tile(瓦片).”
Decide what’s a priority. ___19___ : Take one of your existing to-do list tasks and ask “why” repeatedly—at least five times. For example, why do I want to retile my kitchen floor To make my apartment look better. Why Because a beautiful space makes me feel more at peace.
Try assigning(分配)a task to a time of day. Take a look at your daily schedule and figure out when you can get your tasks done. For example, you might write your novel from 11 a. m. to 2p. m., grocery shop from 2 p. m.－3:30 p.m. ___20___. That kind of awareness gets you thinking, am I spending my time in a way that makes sense for me

G. That can leave space on your list for more important tasks
【答案】16. A 17. G 18. E 19. C 20. F
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了五个可以改善待办事项列表的小技巧。
【16题详解】
下文““If it takes less than two minutes, just do it right then and there,” says Angel Trinidad. It’s not worth the bandwidth to write it down, remember it and do it. (Angel Trinidad说：“如果不到两分钟，那就马上做好。把它写下来、记住并去做是不值得的”)”可知，不到两分钟就能做好的事情是不值得写入待办事项清单里的，A项“遵循两分钟原则”是对本段内容的概括总结，也是本段的中心句。故选A项。
【17题详解】
上文“If you find yourself writing “buy more dog food” on your to-do list every few weeks, save yourself the effort of adding it to your to-do list by signing up for a subscription to get the food delivered to your house each month.(如果你发现自己每隔几周就在待办事项列表上写上“买更多狗粮”，那么通过注册订阅每月将食物送到家中，省去将其添加到待办事项列表中的工作量)”和G项“那可以在你的列表中为更重要的任务留出空间”构成内容上的承接，表明通过注册订阅每月将食物送到家中并省去将其添加到待办事项列表中的工作量的做法，可以带来的好处是在你的列表中为更重要的任务留出空间。故选G项。
【18题详解】
上文“That’s not a to-do list item because there are too many steps packed into one big goal.(这不是一个待办事项，因为一个大目标包含了太多的步骤)”说明不是一个代办事项的原因是一个目标里有太多的步骤，空格处承上启下，下文“like “call hardware store for an estimate” or “pick out tile(瓦片).”(比如“打电话给硬件商店进行估价”或“挑选瓦片”)”举例说明了把项目分解成一些更小的行动项的事例，E项“相反，将项目分解为较小的行动项”既和上文构成转折关系，同时也和下文构成例证关系。故选E项。
【19题详解】
上文“Decide what’s a priority.(决定什么是优先事项)”可知，本段讲述的是如何确定优先项，空格处承上启下，下文“:Take one of your existing to-do list tasks and ask “why” repeatedly—at least five times.(从你现有的待办事项列表中选择一项任务，反复问“为什么”——至少五次)”可知，冒号的作用是解释说明优先项选择的技巧，C项“决定什么是重要的有诀窍”及承接了上文优先项的话题内容，同时也引出下文对于优先项选择技巧的说明。故选C项。
【20题详解】
上文“Take a look at your daily schedule and figure out when you can get your tasks done.(看看你的日常日程安排，弄清楚什么时候可以完成任务)”可知，通过看常规安排可以清楚什么时候完成任务，和F项“它可以缩小你一天能处理的工作量”构成因果关系，指出通过看常规安排可以清楚什么时候完成任务的原因是它可以缩小你一天能处理的工作量。故选F项。

第四部分 任务型阅读(共两节 满分20分)
Happy Mother’s Day
It was Mother’s Day and I was shopping at the local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson. As we were leaving after finishing our shopping, we realized that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and hit her head on the ground badly. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock. Fortunately, a lot of people stopped to help out.
While we were walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very worried about what had happened to the elderly couple. He said to me, “Mom, it’s not much fun falling over in front of everyone.” Seeing that there was a flower stall(摊位)at the front of the supermarket, he added, “Why shouldn’t we buy the lady a flower It will make her feel better.” I was amazed that he’d come up with this sweet idea. So we went over and told the flower seller what we wanted. “Just take it,” she replied. “I can’t take your money for such a wonderful deed.”
By now medical staff had arrived, and were looking after the injured woman. There we saw the old man was also in great fear, but he tried to comfort his wife and held her hands tightly to encourage her to be strong. We gave the flower to the woman’s husband and I told him it was from my son. At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you very much.” He then turned to me, “You have a wonderful son. Happy Mother’s Day to you.”
The man bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Regardless of being badly hurt, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile. And my son bent down his body to the injured lady and gently said, “Happy Mother’s Day to you, too.”

【46题详解】
①考查非谓语动词。根据第一段As we were leaving after finishing our shopping, we realized that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and hit her head on the ground badly.可知，当我们购物结束后正要离开时，我们意识到就在几分钟前，一位老妇人在入口处摔倒了，头重重地撞在了地上。结合文章我们是在母亲节结束购物将要离开的时候，看见一位老妇人摔倒的事情。表示“结束”应用动词finish，作介词after的宾语，应用动名词形式。故填finishing。
②考查动词时态。根据第一段As we were leaving after finishing our shopping, we realized that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and hit her head on the ground badly.可知，当我们购物结束后正要离开时，我们意识到就在几分钟前，一位老妇人在入口处摔倒了，头重重地撞在了地上。由此可知，我们注意到一位老妇人摔倒的事情。表示“注意到”应用动词notice，作谓语，根据时间状语As we were leaving after finishing our shopping可知，应用一般过去时。故填noticed。
③考查非谓语动词。根据第一段As we were leaving after finishing our shopping, we realized that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and hit her head on the ground badly. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.可知，当我们购物结束后正要离开时，我们意识到就在几分钟前，一位老妇人在入口处摔倒了，头重重地撞在了地上。她的丈夫和她在一起，但到处都是血，这个女人很尴尬，显然她很震惊。由此可知，妇女的头流血了说明她受伤严重。表示“受伤”应用动词hurt，此处应用非谓语动词形式作状语，由于主语an elderly women和hurt之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，应用现在分词形式。故填hurting。
④考查形容词。根据第一段Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.可知，她的丈夫和她在一起，但到处都是血，这个女人很尴尬，显然她很震惊。由此可知，这位妇女为自己摔跤并弄得满地是血的事情感到尴尬。表示“尴尬”应用动词embarrass，此处应用其形容词embarrassed，作was的表语。故填embarrassed。
⑤考查形容词。根据第二段While we were walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very worried about what had happened to the elderly couple.当我们走向现场时，特尼森非常担心这对老夫妇的遭遇。由此可知，特尼森非常担心这对老夫妇。表示“担心”应用动词concern，此处应用其形容词concerned，作was的表语。故填concerned。

⑦考查动词时态。根据第三段There we saw the old man was also in great fear, but he tried to comfort his wife and held her hands tightly to encourage her to be strong.可知，在那里，我们看到老人也非常害怕，但他试图安慰他的妻子，紧紧地握住她的手，鼓励她坚强。由此可知，老人安慰并鼓励他的妻子。表示“安慰”应用动词comfort，作谓语，根据并列谓语encouraged可知应用一般过去时。故填comforted。
⑧考查形容词。根据第三段 At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you very much.”可知，听到这句话，老人哭了起来，说：“非常感谢你。”由此可知，老人感动到流泪。表示“感动”应用动词touch，此处应用形容词touched，作was的表语。故填touched。
⑨考查非谓语动词。根据第四段The man bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from.可知，那个男人弯下腰，把花递给了他的妻子，告诉她花是谁送的。由此可知，老人把花送给妻子同时告知了她花的来历。表示“告诉”应用动词tell，此处作状语，主语The man和tell之间是逻辑上的主动关系，应用现在分词形式。故填telling。
⑩考查副词。根据第四段And my son bent down his body to the injured lady and gently said, “Happy Mother’s Day to you, too.”可知，我儿子弯下腰，对受伤的女士温柔地说：“母亲节快乐。”由此可知，我的儿子温柔地问候了那位受伤的妇女。表示“温柔的”为形容词gentle，此处修饰动词said应用副词gently。故填gently。

【48题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段“Seeing that there was a flower stall(摊位)at the front of the supermarket, he added, “Why shouldn’t we buy the lady a flower It will make her feel better.”（看到超市门口有一个鲜花摊，他补充道：“我们为什么不给这位女士买一朵花呢？这会让她感觉更好。”）”可知，特尼森想要给老妇人买一朵鲜花是为了想让她感觉更好，故答案为To make her feel better.
【49题详解】
考查推理判断。根据第一段“Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.（她的丈夫和她在一起，但到处都是血，这个女人很尴尬，显然很震惊。）”及第三段“By now medical staff had arrived, and were looking after the injured woman.（现在医务人员已经到达，正在照顾受伤的妇女。）”以及可知，老妇人受伤很严重，推断出那位老妇人将被送上救护车送往医院。故答案为The elderly lady was taken into an ambulance and took to the hospital.
