Born in Belgium on April 4, 1527, Abraham Ortelius is known as the inventor of the atlas (地图集). During that time, there was renewed interest in the study of classical antiquity, history, Greek, and philosophy across Western Europe.
Ortelius was fond of new discoveries and travel, so he began collecting books, prints, paintings, wall maps, and coins from all over Europe. During one trip to Poitiers, France, Ortelius met cartographer (制图员) Gerard Mercator, who inspired him to start producing maps himself. Ortelius began his career as a map colorist for the Guild of Saint Luke in Ant- werp in 1547, and then became a map designer at the Plantin company in 1587.
Ortelius’s first atlas was called Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. First printed in 1570, it featured a collection of 53 maps, all the same style and size, printed from metal plates and arranged by continent, region, and state. The atlas was soon gaining traction. It had to be re- printed 4 times in the first year of publishing. Between 1570 and 1612 the atlas was published in 42 editions in 7 languages.
The Theatrum Orbis Terrarum atlas featured one of Ortelius’s most famous maps- Typus Orbis Terrarum. The hand-colored map covered the entire world from pole to pole, revealing the shape and size of different continents. At the time the map was made — much of North America was yet to be explored — so naturally, large parts of the geography were merely theoretical. The eastern seaboard stuck out eastward, illustrating the inaccurate measurements of longitudes (经度) at the time. It’s also interesting to note that the Mississippi River did not appear on the map, and there was no sign of the Great Lakes.
However, the map actually contains some of the best collection work of the period, and represents a huge shift in the history of mapmaking. It is the hallmark world map of the first atlas ever published.
24．What can be inferred about Ortelius
A．He was an inspiration to Mercator. B．He was a great collector of Asian art.
C．He had a great curiosity about the world. D．He became a map designer at age 20.
25．What does the underlined word “traction” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Awareness. B．Insight. C．Evidence. D．Popularity.
26．What was a problem with Typus Orbis Terrarum
A．It just covered the European continent. B．It lacked detail and preciseness.
C．It was black and white in color. D．It was poorly printed.
27．What is the author’s attitude toward the map
A．Appreciative. B．Uninterested. C．Critical. D．Worried.
C
A large body of evidence shows that exercise strengthens our brains. In studies, active people generally have more gray matter. Gray matter is made up of the brain’s essential, working neurons(神经元). Fit people also tend to have healthier white matter, which supports and connects neurons. Partly as a consequence of these, exercise is strongly linked with lower risks of dementia(痴呆) and other memory problems with age.
But exercise may increase exposure to air pollution and previous studies have shown the opposite effects of air pollution on the brain. So, what happens then
Some researchers looked at thousands of middle-aged adults from the UK Bio-bank. The researchers characterized their physical activity patterns depending on the amount of physical activity collected from the devices researchers asked them to wear. They then evaluated air pollution levels where the people lived, asked the participants to complete brain scans, and finally, compared them. Researchers found that exercise was linked to excellent brain health for people in areas with little air pollution. But the beneficial associations almost disappeared for exercisers living in areas with even moderate(中度的) air pollution. They had less gray matter and more unhealthy white matter than people living and exercising away from pollution, even if their workouts were similar.
Extending these findings in a follow-up study, the same scientists found that the more people exercised, the less likely they were to develop dementia over time—provided their local air was clear. When it was moderately polluted, though, they had an increased long-term risk of dementia, whether they exercised or not.
These studies increase the urgency for developing more-effective regulations related to air quality. Public policy could be used to address people’s exposure to air pollution during exercise. For example, since a great amount of air pollution comes from traffic, promoting running or bicycling along paths far from heavy traffic may be more beneficial.
28．What does the author intend to tell us in the first paragraph
A．The reasons behind dementia. B．The benefits of workouts on brains.
C．The working process of our brains. D．The exercise suitable for people with dementia.
29．Why did the researchers ask the participants to wear the devices
A．To help know their exercise patterns. B．To monitor the local air quality.
C．To record their daily routine. D．To warn them of healthy problems.
30．What can we learn from the studies
A．Memory problems should be cured.
B．The structure of the brain is complicated.
C．People face many risk factors for dementia.
D．More rules against air pollution should be made quickly.
31．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Air quality has to be improved urgently.
B．Most people do exercise in a wrong way.
C．Air pollution may reduce benefits of exercise.
D．People with diseases should do more exercise.
D
An asteroid(小行星)is moving very fast toward Earth, threatening every human being on the planet. Humanity has one shot to save itself with brave, selfless heroes piloting a spacecraft into the universe to destroy the asteroid.
But that’s the movies. On Monday evening, NASA showed what the reality was like. There was an asteroid, but it wasn’t threatening the Earth. And there was a spacecraft, relying on advanced technology from the Earth. The human heroes of the mission were actually at a physics and engineering lab between Baltimore and Washington, D．C．And there was a collision(碰撞). In this case it was the final act of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test(DART), a spacecraft that was launched in November, 2021 and then raced around the sun for 10 months as it pursued its target—a small space rock, Dimorphos, seven million miles from Earth.
“For the first time, humanity has demonstrated the ability to change the orbit of an asteroid,” said Ralph Semmel, director of the lab. In its last moments, the spacecraft sent back a series of photographs. DART had spotted Dimorphos only an hour earlier, as a dot of light. Then, Dimorphos grew bigger and bigger, until its surface filled the screen. The engineers were on their feet, cheering.“Normally, losing signal from the spacecraft is very bad,”Semmel said. “But this time, it was the ideal outcome.”
With movies like “Deep Impact”, Hollywood has long been enthusiastic about the prospect of disaster raining down from the universe. In reality, big asteroids that would cause planet-wide destruction occur very rarely, once every 10 million years or so. Hence, planners at NASA and elsewhere devote their attention to smaller ones in space, which would not set off mass extinctions, but can release more energy than a nuclear bomb. If any of those asteroids turns out to be on a collision course with Earth, the DART mission shows that changing its orbit is a realistic possibility.
32．What’s paragraph 1 describing
A．A movie plot. B．A natural disaster. C．A witness account. D．A virtual experiment.
33．What’s the mission of DART
A．Racing around the sun. B．Tracking asteroids in space.
C．Changing the orbit of Dimorphos. D．Establishing a permanent space lab.
34．Why were the engineers cheering
A．They obtained clear desired photos. B．They made a safe landing from space.
C．DART crashed Dimorphos into pieces. D．DART completed its mission successfully.
35．What’s the significance of the DART mission
A．Preventing the earth from being destroyed. B．Providing a solution to an asteroid impact.
C．Fueling people’s interest in Hollywood movies. D．Increasing chances of humans going into space.

67. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I met the Man of the Trees in summer ten years ago, when I was visiting Uncle Jita.
Those were difficult times. People were cutting down our forest, and there was often flooding. Sometimes our water supply was dirty. When our pump(水泵)did have clean water, we had to wait in line for ages. When the pump wasn’t working, we had to walk five kilometers to the closest stream.
But I was happy. I was going to see my favorite uncle. When the day finally arrived, Dad drove me to Uncle Jita’s house and left. Once he saw me, Uncle Jita announced, “Tomorrow we’re going to explore a magical place. Here is my camera, Amy. You can take photos of what you see.”
The following day, we woke up and left early on a boat. The trip was exciting. But when we got off, there was ... nothing in front of us. “I don’t want to take pictures of this,” I complained.
Uncle laughed, “Start walking, Amy. I promise you’ll be surprised.” After some time, I could see the outline of a forest in the distance. A little closer, there was a man waving to us.
“That’s Kabir. The forest you see is his. He planted every single tree.” As we walked towards Kabir, Uncle explained that thirty years ago, the whole area was a wasteland. But one day Kabir decided to change all that and started planting trees. Thanks to him, part of the wasteland is now a paradise(天堂).
Uncle introduced me to Kabir, who had gray hair and a determined face. “Jita told me you like animals. Are you ready to see some ” he asked. “Of course!” I replied. We continued walking and soon were under the trees. I turned my head and was amazed at the difference between the two places. All because of the efforts of one man.
Like Uncle said, Kabir’s forest was magical. We saw deer, rhinos, and even tigers. During lunchtime, Kabir explained how, by planting trees, it was possible to stop the land from eroding(侵蚀).
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Hearing this, I turned to my uncle, “I think we can plant trees too ”. ___________________________

详解：
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章是Marist School写给孩子要申请该校2024——2025学年6年级和8年级的家长的，希望他们注意申请时应该注意哪些方面，尤其是各个事项的截止点。
21．推理判断题。根据第一段的“We are thrilled you are considering Marist School for your child’s next chapter. Marist has two primary entry points for students in 7th and 9th grades to which we typically accept 150 and 50 students respectively.(我们很高兴你考虑在圣母学校开启你孩子的下一个篇章。马里斯特大学为七年级和九年级的学生提供两个主要入学点，我们通常分别接收150名和50名学生)”可知，圣母学校开启孩子的下一个篇章，招收7年级和9年级的学生，因此推断本文针对的读者是孩子即将入读七年级和九年级的家长们，现在应该是6年级和8年级学生家长。故选C。
22．细节理解题。根据第二段的“Marist School utilizes Ravenna, an application management system, for all aspects of the admissions process. Through Ravenna, parents can access the Marist application, submit supporting materials, track application status, and view admission decisions. (玛丽斯特学校在招生过程的各个方面都使用了申请管理系统Ravenna。通过Ravenna，家长可以访问马里斯特申请，提交支持材料，跟踪申请状态，并查看录取决定)”可知，Ravenna可处理入学申请。故选A。
23．细节理解题。根据表格左上角“September 2023 - March 2024(2023年9月- 2024年3月)”和第六栏“Deadline for Marist to receive any outstanding supplemental materials; transcripts, teacher and administrator evaluations, and parish/church verification form are due(Marist收到任何未完成的补充材料的截止日期；成绩单，教师和行政人员的评估，以及教区/教堂的验证表)”以及时间“February 1, 2024(2024年2月1日)”可知，学校重大事件安排的总体时间为2023年9月- 2024年3月，而接收教师评定的截止日是2024年2月1日，结合选项，B项“2024年1月26日”符合要求。故选B。

【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要介绍了Abraham Ortelius及其绘制的第一本现代地图集《世界概貌》。
24．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Ortelius was fond of new discoveries and travel, so he began collecting books, prints, paintings, wall maps, and coins from all over Europe.(奥特留斯喜欢新发现和旅行，所以他开始从欧洲各地收集书籍、印刷品、绘画、挂图和硬币)”可知，Abraham Ortelius对世界充满了好奇心。故选C。
25．词句猜测题。根据划线词后的“It had to be re- printed 4 times in the first year of publishing. Between 1570 and 1612 the atlas was published in 42 editions in 7 languages.(在出版的第一年，它不得不重印了4次。1570年至1612年间，该地图集以7种语言出版了42个版本)”可知，这本地图集很快就受到了欢迎。由此可知，划线词traction意为“受欢迎”。故选D。
26．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“At the time the map was made — much of North America was yet to be explored — so naturally, large parts of the geography were merely theoretical. The eastern seaboard stuck out eastward, illustrating the inaccurate measurements of longitudes (经度) at the time. It’s also interesting to note that the Mississippi River did not appear on the map, and there was no sign of the Great Lakes.(在地图制作的时候，北美的大部分地区还没有被探索，所以自然地，大部分地理区域只是理论上的。东海岸向东突出，说明当时对经度的测量是不准确的。同样有趣的是，地图上没有密西西比河，也没有五大湖的迹象)”可知，Typus Orbis Terrarium这幅地图不够细化和精准。故选B。
27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, the map actually contains some of the best collection work of the period, and represents a huge shift in the history of mapmaking. It is the hallmark world map of the first atlas ever published.(然而，这幅地图实际上包含了该时期一些最好的收集工作，并代表了地图制作史上的一个巨大转变。这是有史以来出版的第一本地图集的标志性世界地图)”可推知，作者对其持赞赏态度。故选A。

【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要阐述了空气污染可能会降低身体活动对大脑的益处。
28．主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句“A large body of evidence shows that exercise strengthens our brains. (大量证据表明，运动可以增强我们的大脑。)”以及最后一句“Partly as a consequence of these, exercise is strongly linked with lower risks of dementia(痴呆) and other memory problems with age.(部分由于这些原因，运动与降低痴呆症和其他随年龄增长而出现的记忆问题的风险有着密切的联系。)”可知第一段主要阐述锻炼对大脑的益处。故选B.
29．细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“ The researchers characterized their physical activity patterns depending on the amount of physical activity collected from the devices researchers asked them to wear. (研究人员要求他们佩戴设备，根据设备所收集的运动量来描述他们的身体活动模式。)”可知设备研究人员要求他们佩戴设备是为了了解他们的运动模式。故选A。
30．细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“When it was moderately polluted, though, they had an increased long-term risk of dementia, whether they exercised or not.(然而，当环境处于中度污染时，无论他们是否锻炼，他们患痴呆症的长期风险都会增加。)”以及最后一段第一句“These studies increase the urgency for developing more-effective regulations related to air quality. Public policy could be used to address people’s exposure to air pollution during exercise. (这些研究增加了制定与空气质量有关的更有效法规的紧迫性。公共政策可以用来解决人们在锻炼过程中暴露在空气污染中的问题。)”可知空气污染增加人们患痴呆症的风险，应该尽快制定更多的防止空气污染的规定。故选D。
31．主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句“A large body of evidence shows that exercise strengthens our brains. (大量证据表明，运动可以增强我们的大脑。)”以及第二段“But exercise may increase exposure to air pollution and previous studies have shown the opposite effects of air pollution on the brain.(但运动可能会增加暴露在污染的空气中，而之前的研究已经表明，空气污染对大脑有相反的影响。)”可知运动对大脑有益，但是空气污染对大脑有害；结合下文对研究与研究结果的详细阐述，可知文章主要阐述虽然锻炼对大脑有益，但是空气污染对大脑有害，所以C选项“Air pollution may reduce benefits of exercise.(空气污染可能会降低锻炼的益处。)”能够概括全文，适合做文章标题。故选C。

Humanity has one shot to save itself with brave, selfless heroes piloting a spacecraft into the universe to destroy the asteroid.”（一颗小行星正快速向地球移动，威胁着地球上的每一个人。人类只有一次拯救自己的机会，勇敢无私的英雄驾驶宇宙飞船进入宇宙，摧毁小行星。）以及第二段“But that’s the movies.”（但那是电影）可知，第一段描写的是电影情节。故选A项。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段“For the first time, humanity has demonstrated the ability to change the orbit of an asteroid,“ said Ralph Semmel, director of the lab.”（实验室主任拉尔夫·塞梅尔说：“人类首次展示了改变小行星轨道的能力）可知，DART的任务是改变Dimorphos的轨道。故选C项。
34．细节理解题。根据第三段“DART had spotted Dimorphos only an hour earlier, as a dot of light. Then, Dimorphos grew bigger and bigger, until its surface filled the screen. The engineers were on their feet, cheering. ”Normally, losing signal from the spacecraft is very bad,“ Semmel said. ”But this time, it was the ideal outcome.“”（DART仅在一小时前发现了Dimorphos，就像一个光点。然后，Dimmorphos变得越来越大，直到它的表面填满了屏幕。工程师们站起来欢呼。”塞梅尔说：“通常情况下，失去航天器的信号是非常糟糕的。但这一次，这是一个理想的结果”）可知，工程师们欢呼是因为DART成功完成了任务。故选D项。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段“If any of those asteroids turns out to be on a collision course with Earth, the DART mission shows that changing its orbit is a realistic possibility.”（如果这些小行星中的任何一颗与地球发生碰撞，DART任务表明改变其轨道是一种现实的可能性。）可知，DART任务的意义是为小行星撞击提供解决方案。故选B项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国国庆节的一些活动。
【36题详解】
前文“In China under imperial rule, National Day was a celebration of the Emperor’s birthday or his rise to the throne. On October 1, 1949, Mao Zedong declared the formation of the People’s Republic of China.(在帝国统治下的中国，国庆节是庆祝皇帝诞辰或登基的日子。1949年10月1日，毛泽东宣布中华人民共和国成立。)”讲述了旧时代的中国确定国庆节的依据，以及1949年10月1日新中国正式成立，由此可知，空处应是说新中国成立后国庆节的确立，D项“从那时起，十月的第一天就是爱国主义和民族庆典的日子。”符合题意，选项中的then指代前文中的On October 1, 1949。故选D。
【37题详解】
后文“Each year, a large National Day celebration is held in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square.(每年，北京天安门广场都会举行大型国庆庆典。)”提到了在国庆节北京在天安门广场举行大型庆典，所以空处应与北京有关，A项“北京是全国最大的国庆节活动中心。”符合题意。故选A。
【38题详解】
后文“This fireworks show is approved by the Chinese government and some of the highest quality rockets and explosives are used to fill the sky with sparkling colors of gold and red.(这场烟花表演得到了中国政府的批准，一些最高质量的火箭和炸药被用来让天空充满闪闪发光的金色和红色。)”讲述了烟花表演的细节，所以空处应讲述国庆节晚上有烟花表演，G项“当晚会进行一场盛大而精心的烟花表演。”符合题意。故选G。
39题详解】
前文“In addition to patriotic celebrations, National Day in China is also a time for people to enjoy being with their families. Family members of all ages will often use this as an opportunity to travel to a central location to reconnect after months of working.(除了爱国庆祝活动，国庆节在中国也是人们享受与家人团聚的时刻。所有年龄段的家庭成员都会经常利用这一机会，在工作数月后前往中心地点重新联系。)”讲述了人们会利用国庆假期与家人共享团聚时光，空处位于段末，应总结这样做的好处，F项“这有助于消除工作压力，并有助于确保家庭关系密切。”符合题意。故选F。
【40题详解】
前文“Although National Day is entered around patriotism and China’s history, National Day is also a time of shopping.(虽然国庆节是围绕爱国主义和中国历史而进入的，但国庆节也是购物的时间。)”讲述了国庆节也是购物的时间，后文“So people should put a bit of money to the side and use this as an opportunity to purchase some of the things that have been on their wish lists for a while.(因此，人们应该存一点钱，并以此为机会购买他们愿望清单上已经有一段时间的东西。)”讲述了人们应该省钱在这个时间去购买想要的东西，由此可知，空处应说国庆节期间商家有折扣，C项“许多公司在黄金周期间提供很大的产品折扣。”符合题意。故选C。

【导语】本文为一篇说明文。是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了日本政府决定开始向海洋排放核废水，这一行为是极其不负责任的，遭到绿色和平组织的批评。
【56题详解】
考查副词。句意：日本在周二发布说，他们决定渐渐地将福岛第一核电站的污水排放到海洋中，并说这是处理福岛核事件污水的最好的方法，福岛核事件是世界上最严重事件之一。此处修饰动词release，故应用副词“gradually渐渐地”作状语，故填gradually。

【61题详解】
考查形容词。句意：这种不负责任的行为不仅上海了日本邻国人们的利益，而且还威胁着全球的海洋环境和国际公共健康的安全。此处意为“不负责任的”，故应用形容词irresponsible作定语，修饰名词act，故填irresponsible。

Dear John,
Glad to know you're interested in the first Campus Culture Festival with the theme of "The Beauty of Chinese Traditional Culture" held last week. I’m writing to inform you of some relevant information.
The festival consisted of various activities, such as an ancient poetry recitation contest on Tuesday afternoon and a week-long exhibition, where hundreds of students’ traditional Chinese paining and calligraphy works were on display. Additionally, several celebrated actors were invited to perform Beijing Opera in the auditorium on Friday evening.
All the teachers and students thought highly of it and regarded it as a golden chance to gain a deeper insight into Chinese traditional culture.
Looking toward to your early reply.
Yours
Li Hua

67.
Hearing this, I turned to my uncle, “I think we can plant trees too.” Grabbing the camera in my hand, I added with excitement. “I’ve got a plan! I’ll show them the photos of Kabir’s magical forest! ” Seeing Uncle and Kabir’s encouraging smile, I immediately set down to my work, busily pressing my shutter and capturing the amazing scenes in the forest. When Uncle and I went back to the village several days later and showed these wonderful pictures to my neighbour, they were stunned by the beauty of the forest. “It was the trees that turned the place into a paradise! ” We then explained our tree-planting plan to the villagers, which was quickly accepted by all of them.
In the years that followed, people in our village worked hard to carry out our plan. Instead of cutting down our forest, we started to plant trees, which has eventually helped protect the soil and stopped the land from eroding. Thanks to the trees, the water has been purified and we finally have clean and stable water supply. With our joint efforts, our village is now surrounded by small thriving forests with blooming flowers, lively animals and crystal-clear streams running through. Witnessing the gradual change of our village, we came to realize that only when we live in harmony with nature can we have a brighter future.

W: What does it take to be a head chef Paul Heaton is here to tell us all about it.
M: Thanks! After I left school, I tried a few other things, including the local supermarket, but nothing really interested me until I got a job as a kitchen assistant. It was hard, dirty work and the pay wasn’t great either. On the positive side, I was in a really busy kitchen where the top chefs were highly skilled and during my breaks I could watch and learn.
W: Those days are behind you now, aren’t they
M: Yes, these days I’m a head chef, so I’m responsible for organizing the kitchen. This includes preparing the menus, selecting and training staff and keeping the kitchen in good working order. And now I don’t have to cook every day, but can choose to do it when I really want to.
W: What advice would you give to anyone thinking of becoming a chef
M: You must be prepared to deal with stressful situations. And you have to be able to think quickly — if the fish you wanted to use for your main dish doesn’t arrive, you’ve got to invent something different. People think that preparing food in a first-class restaurant is a complicated and difficult thing to do. This is partly true. But the key to success is to buy the best and the freshest food available and keep things simple.

(Text 10)
W: Hey welcome to today’s talk! I’m Emma Davis, an AI enthusiast who’s been exploring this since finishing at MIT. I’m excited to share my passion for the incredible world of artificial intelligence, or AI.
I’ll kick things off with an awesome story from 2015, in Silicon Valley. Our project was called “Project Skylark” and with Dr. Jack Thompson, a Cornell University bird expert. We wanted to teach a machine to recognize different birds.
It was amazing. “Avis”, the AI system, learnt to improve its accuracy over time. In six months, it could identify bird species better than human experts! This showed the incredible potential of AI!
It’s come a long way since the 1950s with Alan Turing’s ideas. Modern systems can analyze data, spot patterns, and make decisions on their own. This power has opened up endless possibilities in areas like healthcare, finance, and transportation.
One inspiring example comes from Dr. Alice Chen, who in 2018 led a team at Stanford University to develop the computer program “MediScan” that analyzes images and detects early signs of diseases like cancer. MediScan’s accuracy and speed massively surpassed human capabilities, saving thousands of lives.
However, it has its challenges and risks. A 2020 report showed concern of AI taking jobs and affecting economy. I love AI but there’s tough conversations about balancing progress, job security, privacy and security as systems get better. Together, we can create a future where AI helps us achieve our wildest dreams.
