B
The student arrived early, sat front and center, and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one. I’d say that he was about 40 years older than his classmates in my undergraduate communications class. He eagerly jumped into class discussions, with his humor and wisdom of experience. And he was always respectful of the other students’ perspectives, as if each of them were a teacher. Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile—and he left with one too.
“These students gave me the confidence that I didn’t need to feel bad about my age,” Valencia says.
One day, I spotted Valencia on campus. He said he would have to stop taking classes that semester and reapply for next year. By then, he hoped to have earned enough money and have his student-loan papers in order. He asked seriously whether he could still sit in on my communications class.
Sure, I said. But he wouldn’t get any credit.
No problem, he said.
Soon there he was again, back at his old desk, jumping into our discussions on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles—a 63-year-old man with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in class.
A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t afford that semester’s tuition but was still doing the homework. “Here he is, willingly taking a class for the delight of it and benefit of learning,”says Jessica Espinosa, a 25-year-old junior. Afterward, I overheard Valencia wanted to stay in school until he earned a master’s degree, but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college, so he had a long way to go.
There is something splendidly unreasonable about Valencia’s determination to get a four-year degree and then a master’s. At his current pace, he’ll be 90 when he finally hangs all that paper on the wall. But that doesn’t seem especially relevant. He’s found all the youthful energy and academic opportunity stimulating. Valencia’s grade in my class this semester will not show up on his transcripts(成绩单). But I’m giving him an A—and in the most important ways, it counts.
4. What made Valencia different from his classmates
A. He was respectful to the teacher.
B. He activated the class atmosphere.
C. He was eager to learn despite his age.
D. He often put forward different opinions.
5. According to the author, why did Valencia continue to attend classes
A. He treasured the chance of learning.
B. He wished to show his determination.
C. He needed the credits to further his study.
D. He desired to have an A on his transcripts.
6. Which of the following best describes Valencia
A. Modest and independent. B. Energetic and generous.
C. Enthusiastic and motivated. D. Considerate and intelligent.
7. What can we learn from the passage
A. No pains, no gains. B. It is never too old to learn.
C. Strike the iron while it is hot. D. Where there is life, there is hope.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】

C
When Eugenie George first heard that her friend passed an exam, her heart sank. She’d failed that test weeks earlier, and needed more work to advance her own career. But instead of anxiety, she called her friend. “I congratulated her and told her she inspired me,” she says. She was surprised when it changed her attitude, so she could share her friend’s happiness and experience her own, in turn.
Finding pleasure in another person’s good fortune is what social scientists call freudenfreude, a term that describes the joy we feel when someone else succeeds, even if it isn’t directly connected with us. Freudenfreude is like social glue, says Catherine Chambliss, a professor of psychology at Ursinus College in Pennsylvania. It makes relationships “closer and more enjoyable”. Sharing in someone else’s joy can also improve life satisfaction and resilience(适应力) and help people cooperate during a disagreement.
While the benefits of freudenfreude are plentiful, it doesn’t always come easily. Sometimes, your loss might last, making freudenfreude feel out of reach. If you were raised in a family that paired winning with self-worth, Chambliss says, you might misread someone else’s victory as your own personal shortcoming. And factors such as mental health and overall wellbeing(幸福) can also affect your ability to participate in someone else’s joy. Still, freudenfreude is worthwhile and there are ways to encourage the feeling.
Instead of an automatic response, freudenfreude is often an active process. To help people strengthen joy-sharing muscles, Chambliss and her colleagues developed a programme called FreudenfreudeEnhancement Training (FET). They found that depressed people who used the practices for two weeks had an easier time expressing freudenfreude, which built up their relationships and improved their mood.
Jean Grae, an artist, supports friends in this mindset. When someone gets a new opportunity or reaches a milestone, she makes sure to celebrate. Grae says she’s especially moved when anyone considered ‘other’ succeeds. “It’s truly inspirational,” she says, “because it lifts us all up and makes us shine.”
8. What do we know about Eugenie George
A. She took pride in passing her exam. B. She shared her success with her friend.
C. She was pleased with her friend’s success. D. She was annoyed at her failure in an exam.
9. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on about freudenfreude
A. Its great benefits. B. Its disadvantages.
C. Reasons for its absence. D. Ways of improving it.
10. Why is Freudenfreude Enhancement Training (FET) held
A. To test the effect of freudenfreude. B. To help people apply freudenfreude.
C. To get people to know freudenfreude. D. To show the advantages of freudenfreude.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. How to experience freudenfreude
B. Let’s share what leads to freudenfreude.
C. Freudenfreude: View others’ success as our own.
D. A win-win: Freudenfreude brings our own pleasure.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述了“乐他人之幸”会给自己带来好处。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的““I congratulated her and told her she inspired me,” she says. She was surprised when it changed her attitude, so she could share her friend’s happiness and experience her own, in turn. (她说，“我向她表示祝贺，并告诉她，她激励了我”。当这件事改变了她的态度时，她很惊讶，这样她就可以分享朋友的快乐，反过来自己体验到了快乐。)”可知， Eugenie George听到朋友通过了考试后，对她取得的成功感到高兴。故选C。
【9题详解】
段落大意题。根据第三段的“While the benefits of freudenfreude are plentiful, it doesn’t always come easily. Sometimes, your loss might last, making freudenfreude feel out of reach. If you were raised in a family that paired winning with self-worth, Chambliss says, you might misread someone else’s victory as your own personal shortcoming. And factors such as mental health and overall wellbeing can also affect your ability to participate in someone else’s joy. (尽管乐他人之幸的好处很多，但它并不总是来得容易。有时，你的失落感可能会持续下去，让乐他人之幸的感觉遥不可及。Chambliss说，如果你在一个将胜利与自我价值相结合的家庭中长大，你可能会把别人的胜利误解为自己的个人缺点。心理健康和整体幸福感等因素也会影响你参与他人快乐的能力。) ”可知，该段提到了个人失落感、心理健康和整体幸福感等因素是可能让个人难以从他人的成功中感受到快乐的原因。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“Instead of an automatic response, freudenfreude is often an active process. To help people strengthen joy-sharing muscles, Chambliss and her colleagues developed a programme called FreudenfreudeEnhancement Training (FET). They found that depressed people who used the practices for two weeks had an easier time expressing freudenfreude, which built up their relationships and improved their mood. (乐他人之幸不是一个自动的反应，它往往是一个积极的过程。为了帮助人们增强分享快乐的能力，Chambliss和她的同事们开发了一个名为“弗洛伊德强化训练”的项目。他们发现，抑郁的人在进行了两周的练习后，更容易表达乐他人之幸的情绪，从而建立了他们的人际关系，改善了他们的情绪。)”可知，创办“弗洛伊德强化训练”的项目旨在帮助人们将乐他人之幸的能力应用到生活之中。故选B。
【11题详解】
标题判断题。通读全文，根据第一段的““I congratulated her and told her she inspired me,” she says. She was surprised when it changed her attitude, so she could share her friend’s happiness and experience her own, in turn. (她说，“我向她表示祝贺，并告诉她，她激励了我”。当这件事改变了她的态度时，她很惊讶，这样她就可以分享她朋友的快乐，并反过来体验自己的快乐。)”可知， Eugenie George听到朋友通过了考试后，她的内心被感染了，打电话祝贺朋友，并告诉她朋友的成功让她感到振奋。因此，Eugenie George对于她的朋友成功感到高兴。根据最后一段的“Jean Grae, an artist, supports friends in this mindset. When someone gets a new opportunity or reaches a milestone, she makes sure to celebrate. Grae says she’s especially moved when anyone considered ‘other’ succeeds. “It’s truly inspirational,” she says, “because it lifts us all up and makes us shine.” (艺术家Jean Grae支持有这种心态的朋友。当某人得到一个新机会或达到一个里程碑时，她一定要庆祝。Jean Grae说，当有人认为别 人成功时，她会特别感动。她说，“这真的很鼓舞人心”，“因为它让我们振作起来，让我们发光”。)”可知，文章主要探讨了乐他人之幸会让自己开心，D项“A win-win: Freudenfreude brings our own pleasure. (双赢：乐他人之幸带来我们自己的快乐。)”能够概括文章内容，适合作为标题。故选D。
D
Since 2001, robotic tools have revolutionized the practice of surgery. They have greatly reduced the stress and physical demands normally placed on surgeons and have made certain procedures possible.
One example is “keyhole surgery”, or minimally invasive (微创) surgery, which normally requires surgeons to stand at awkward angles and make difficult movements with their hands to make a cut inside the patient. But in June 2022, surgeon James Ansell used 3D glasses and two sticks to control four robotic arms to perform a procedure to remove a cancerous tumor. “My colleague said... that this feels like cheating,” Ansell said to The Guardian.
Another area of surgery that has had major technological breakthroughs in recent years is telesurgery. Normally, telesurgery relies on a wired connection due to concerns of harming the patient should a wireless connection drop during surgery, but China made several advancements in wireless telesurgery based on 5G technology.
China achieved the first 5G-based remote operation in March 2019 involving a brain surgery procedure between a surgeon in Sanya and a patient in Beijing, a distance totaling nearly 3,000 kilometers. More recently, a team of surgeons successfully completed remote micron-level eye surgery on rabbits located in a different city. The rabbits were at the Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhbù, Guangdon g province, whereas the surgical team who operated on them via a 5G robot were at the Hainan Eye Hospital in Haikou, Hainan province.
Looking to the future, people hope that remote surgery could become commonplace to help heal injured soldiers on the battlefield while keeping surgeons at a safe distance. Some even believe that robotic systems, combined with AI, could one day exceed human surgeons.
But, given current technological limitations and the high costs of these robots which can cost millions of dollars, the complete robot takeover of surgery may still be a while off.
12. What does the “keyhole surgery” example intend to show
A. Great complexity of robotic surgery.
B. Physical challenges surgeons face.
C. Surgical progress enabled by robotic tools.
D. Urgent need for advanced 3D technology.
13. What significant achievement did China make in the field of telesurgery
A. Achieving remote surgery using a wired connection.
B. Completing successfully remote eye surgery on humans.
C. Conducting a 5G-based remote operation on rabbits overseas.
D. Performing the first wireless brain surgery with 5G technology.
14. What can be inferred from the text about robots in the medical field
A. They are quite affordable.
B. They are currently in high demand.
C. They have not been widely used.
D. They have gone beyond human capabilities.
15. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Robotic Surgery Uses 5G Technology
B. Keyhole Surgery Benefits Human Beings
C. Autonomous Robot Achieves Great Progress
D. Medical Robotics Revolutionizes Surgery Method
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述的是医疗机器人技术的进步。机器人工具在手术实践中引起了巨大的变化。它们大大减轻了外科医生通常承受的压力和体力要求，并使某些手术成为可能。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Since 2001, robotic tools have revolutionized the practice of surgery. They have greatly reduced the stress and physical demands normally placed on surgeons and have made certain procedures possible. (自2001年以来，机器人工具已经彻底改变了手术实践。它们大大减轻了外科医生通常承受的压力和体力要求，并使某些手术成为可能。)”可知，第二段“keyhole surgery”是对第一段的举例，即机器人工具对手术方面有积极影响。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“China achieved the first 5G-based remote operation in March 2019 involving a brain surgery procedure between a surgeon in Sanya and a patient in Beijing, a distance totaling nearly 3,000 kilometers. (2019年3月，中国实现了第一次基于5G的远程手术，在三亚的一名外科医生和北京的一名患者之间进行了脑部手术，距离总计近3000公里。)”可知，中国在远程手术方面实现了第一次基于5G的脑部手术。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But, given current technological limitations and the high costs of these robots which can cost millions of dollars, the complete robot takeover of surgery may still be a while off. (但是，考虑到目前的技术限制和这些机器人的高成本(可能要花费数百万美元)，机器人完全接管手术可能还需要一段时间。)”可知，机器人运用在医学领域的成本很高，由此可推断出目前并没有广泛使用。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Since 2001, robotic tools have revolutionized the practice of surgery. They have greatly reduced the stress and physical demands normally placed on surgeons and have made certain procedures possible. (自2001年以来，机器人工具已经彻底改变了手术实践。它们大大减轻了外科医生通常承受的压力和体力要求，并使某些手术成为可能。)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要描述了机器人技术对医疗领域产生的改变，所以D选项“Medical Robotics Revolutionizes Surgery Method (医疗机器人革命性地改变了手术方法)”是最佳标题。故选D。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
Resolving (解决) Conflict in Friendships
Conflict is surely a common problem in life and friendships.___16___ That's because there isn't enough depth to guarantee all the trouble it takes to smooth over the disagreement. Unfortunately, even when the friendship reaches a deeper level, conflict continues to happen and can break apart a relationship. Here are some resolutions.
Resolve it the day it happens. One rule my parents follow in their marriage is that they don't go to bed angry with each other. They always attempt to resolve things the day it happens so that in the morning, it's a fresh start with no past grudge (怨恨). I've found I need a short cool down period so that I don't act in anger.___17___ Whatever you do, don't let things ride for too long.
___18___ Sometimes if you sit down and talk things over, you begin to see where the other person is coming from. Realize that everyone has been created differently with various talents, abilities, and personality traits. For example, you might be a leader while your friend is more of a follower. You may be frustrated with him or her for not being very decisive. Yet it is important to understand that each person is unique and needs to be appreciated.
Initiate resolution. ___19___ Even when you think the other person is wrong，it's not a bad thing to say "I'm sorry if I offended you in that way." If you're honest and genuine in delivering your words, there's a good chance your friend will respond positively.
Most importantly, be loving in what you do. Try to focus on peacefully resolving the disagreement. It is not a most pleasant task to resolve conflict in any friendship. ___20___
A. Don't expect too much.
B. Try to see the other person's perspective.
C. Be the first person in a fight to say sorry for your part.
D. Many shallow friendships end up being ruined after an argument.
E. To say sorry bravely when a conflict breaks out is a better resolution.
F. However, it is worth the efforts because it results in a deeper friendship.
G. For some, counting to one hundred before saying anything may be an option.
【答案】16. D 17. G 18. B 19. C 20. F
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了冲突无疑是生活和友谊中常见的问题，我们要努力集中精力和平解决友谊中的冲突，比如在冲突发生的那一天就去解决，从对方的角度看问题，真诚地表达自己的观点并及时道歉等。
【16题详解】
根据下一句“That's because there isn't enough depth to guarantee all the trouble it takes to smooth over the disagreement (这是因为没有足够的深度来保证消除分歧所带来的所有麻烦)”可知，句中的“there isn't enough depth (没有足够的深度)”与D项中的“shallow (肤浅的)”对应，选项 D. Many shallow friendships end up being ruined after an argument.(许多肤浅的友谊在一次争吵后都被毁掉了。)”符合逻辑以及语境，下文的that指代选项提到这件事。故选D。
【17题详解】
根据前一句“I've found I need a short cool down period so that I don't act in anger (我发现我需要一个短暂的冷静期，这样我才不会生气)”可知，句中的“a short cool down period (一个短暂的冷静期)”与G项中的“counting to one hundred before saying anything (数到一百再说话)”对应， 选项G. However,it is worth the efforts because it results in a deeper friendship.(然而，对有些人来说，数到一百再说话可能是一种选择)符合逻辑以及语境，故选G。
【18题详解】
设空处为本段主旨句。根据下一句“Sometimes if you sit down and talk things over,you begin to see where the other person is coming from. Realize that everyone has been created differently with various talents, abilities, and personality traits. (有时候，如果你坐下来好好谈一谈，你就会发现对方是从哪里来的.认识到每个人都有不同的天赋、能力和个性特征。)”可知,本段建议从他人的角度来看问题。B项Try to see the other person's perspective.(试着从对方的角度看问。)可以作为主旨句，故选B。
【19题详解】
根据下一句“Even when you think the other person is wrong,it's not a bad thing to say"I'm sorry if I offended you in that way. (即使你认为对方错了，说“如果我那样冒犯了你，我很抱歉”也不是坏事)”可知，句中的“I'm sorry (我很抱歉)”与C项中的“say sorry (道歉)”对应，C项Be the first person in a fight to say sorry for your part.(在战斗中做第一个为你的角色道歉的人)内容相关，符合语境，故选C。
【20题详解】
根据前一句“It is not a most pleasant task to resolve conflict in any friendship (在任何友谊中解决冲突都不是一件令人愉快的事情)”，以及结合文章主旨“努力集中精力和平解决友谊中的冲突”，可知，句中的“not a most pleasant task (不是一件令人愉快的事情)”与F项中的“it is worth the efforts (这是值得的努力)”形成对比，再次点明主旨，F项. However, it is worth the efforts because it results in a deeper friendship.(然而，这是值得的努力，因为它导致了更深的友谊)衔接合理，符合语境以及文章主旨，故选F。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了成都都江堰大坝工程的历史以及作用。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意：都江堰大坝位于成都以北45公里处，是中国古代的科技奇迹，最初是在公元前256年左右由秦国建造的，作为灌溉和防洪系统，也是古代工程技术的一个杰出例子。后跟名词作宾语，表示“作为”应用介词as。故填as。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意：由于工程的成功，大坝自动改变了岷江的水流，并将其用于灌溉。修饰动词change应用副词automatically，故填automatically。
【38题详解】

【39题详解】
考查主语从句。句意：战国时期，困扰岷江沿岸居民的是每年一度的洪水。引导主语从句，从句缺少主语，指事物应用what。故填what。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在数千名当地人的帮助下，秦政府和灌溉工程师李冰彻底调查了这个问题，并带领一个团队建造了一个堤坝，以改变部分河水的流向。分析句子结构可知aid与逻辑主语构成被动关系，故用过去分词作状语，首字母大写。故填Aided。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在数千名当地人的帮助下，秦政府和灌溉工程师李冰彻底调查了这个问题，并带领一个团队建造了一个堤坝，以改变部分河水的流向。短语lead sb. to do sth.表示“带领某人做某事”。故填to construct。

第三节 句子翻译(5分)
46. 麦克决定在发大财之前再也不回来，所以他一句话也没说就离开了家。(determined) (汉译英)
【答案】Determined never to come back before he could make a fortune, Mike left home without saying a word.
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词和动词时态。表示“决定做某事”应用be determined to do sth.，此处应用过去分词短语作状语；表示“再也不”应用never；表示“回来”应用come back，此处位于动词不定式符号to后面，使用动词原形；表示“在……之前”应用before，引导时间状语从句；表示“他”应用he；表示“能够”应用could；表示“发大财”应用make a fortune，位于情态动词后，需用动词原形；表示“麦克”应用Mike；表示“离开”应用leave，此处陈述过去发生的事情，使用一般过去时；表示“家”应用home；表示“一句话也没说”应用without saying a word。故翻译成：Determined never to come back before he could make a fortune, Mike left home without saying a word.。

【解析】
【详解】考查时态，从句和介词短语。表示“我们学校”为our school为句子的主语，表示“推出”为launch，为句子的谓语，表示“一个班会”为 a class meeting ，为句子的宾语，表示“以“中国传统文化”为主题的班会”为介词短语with the theme of “Chinese traditional Culture”作定语修饰 a class meeting，故表示“我们学校将推出一个以“中国传统文化”为主题的班会”为Our school will launch a class meeting with the theme of “Chinese traditional Culture”，表示“该班会将在一个英文网站上播放”为非限制性的定语从句，先行词为 a class meeting，应用which引导，“播放”为从句的谓语broadcast，和从句的主语之间是被动关系，表示“在一个英文网站上”为介词短语on an English website作句子的状语。叙述将要发生的事情，应用一般将来时。故答案为Our school will launch a class meeting with the theme of “Chinese traditional Culture”, which will be broadcast on an English website。
48. 我既愤怒又失望，转过身来面对着她，眼泪顺着脸颊落下来。(disappointed) (汉译英)
【答案】Angry and disappointed, I turned to face her, with tears rolling down my cheeks.
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词作状语和with的复合结构。“既愤怒又失望”是描述主语的状态，可译为两个并列的形容词angry and disappointed，在句中作状语；“我转过身来面对着她”是句子主干部分，使用一般过去时，“转过身来”使用动词短语turn to，“面对”为动词face。故译为 I turned to face her；“眼泪顺着脸颊落下来”可使用with的复合结构，作伴随状语，“眼泪”使用名词复数tears，“(眼泪)流下来”使用动词短语roll down，和宾语tears之间是主谓关系，故用现在分词作宾语补足语，结合其他汉语提示，故本句可译为：Angry and disappointed, I turned to face her, with tears rolling down my cheeks。
49. 我写信希望我能说服你不要沉迷线上游戏。(hope) (汉译英)
【答案】I am writing in the hope that I can persuade you not to indulge in online games.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。主语为I；表示“写信”应用write，为现在进行时；表示“希望”短语为in the hope that；从句主语为I；表示“说服某人不要做某事”短语为persuade sb. not do sth.；表示“沉迷线上游戏”翻译为indulge in online games。故翻译为I am writing in the hope that I can persuade you not to indulge in online games.
50. 在决定是否出国留学时，把出国留学的优缺点都考虑进去是可取的。(desirable) (汉译英)
【答案】It is desirable that both the advantages and disadvantages of studying abroad should be taken into account when you decide on whether to go abroad to study or not.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态、it作形式主语、主语从句。表示“做某事是可取的”用It is desirable that，其中it作形式主语，that引导主语从句，且主语从句的谓语用“should+动词原形”，should也可以省略，结合句意可知本句陈述事实，用一般现在时。表示“出国留学的优缺点”用both the advantages and disadvantages of studying abroad，作主语从句的主语。表示“考虑”用take...into account，且主语从句的主语与take为被动关系，故从句谓语用should be taken。表示“在决定是否出国留学时”用when you decide on whether to go abroad to study or not，其中when引导时间状语从句，whether to do作on的宾语。故翻译为It is desirable that both the advantages and disadvantages of studying abroad should be taken into account when you decide on whether to go abroad to study or not.

Outer Space Explorations, YES or NO

Secondly, human beings could get access to new resources, thus solving energy shortage problems on earth. Thirdly, this exploration could possibly bring about new living space for human life in the near future. However, 30% are strongly against it, arguing that it is a waste of money to do this kind of exploration, which is not worth the value. Besides, astronauts may meet great dangers when working in outer space.

第二节 读后续写(25分)
52. 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。
It was the day of the big cross-country run. Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route(路线)through thick evergreen forest.
I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for ten years old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run.
What was wrong He had worked so hard for this event!
I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.”
I bit back my frustration(懊恼). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward.
David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer—that’s all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答.
We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me. I said gently and quietly, “No one can change your mind, except yourself. If you desire to challenge yourself, there is nothing to do with others’ thoughts.” He sat still with a deep breath. “You have a full preparation before this event, which is the most important reason why you show up here”, I added with a sincere tone. Hearing my words, David turned to me tremblingly with tears spilling out of his eyes and expressed he had made a firm determination to finish the cross-country run. His coach heard what David said and gave me a look—the kind that was more determined than anyone else’s.
I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. The race started. It seemed that the runway was extremely long for young children, not to mention a child with a brain disease. David insisted on running as if he had forgotten all his weaknesses, though he was tripped over within the a few kilometers. It didn’t take long before he picked himself up again and continued his mission. Classmates all appeared on the racing track, cheering for him. “Come on! You can make it! We are proud of you!” they shouted enthusiastically. To everyone’s joy, he reached the final line and ranked the 20th. It was no more important whether he won the first place or not. It was his brave heart and strong faith that could make something unusual happen finally.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者是一名特殊教育教师，在大型越野赛跑那天，发现患有大脑疾病的大卫独自站在一旁。作者问其原因，他说准备放弃比赛。从教练口中得知，因为担心同学们会嘲笑大卫，所以教练想让大卫自己去决定是否参加赛跑。作者让大卫追寻自己的内心，不理会别人的看法，大卫最终参赛，尽管遇到困难，他战胜了自己，这已经无关名次，而是他的勇敢和坚定让这一切成为可能。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我们挨着坐着，但大卫不愿看我一眼。”可知，第一段可描写作者鼓励大卫继续完成比赛，大卫经过强烈的心理斗争，最终决定参加比赛。
②由第二段首句内容“我看着大卫和其他选手一起走到起跑线上。”可知，第二段可描写大卫开始参赛，虽然中途遇到困难，仍然坚持到最后，完成比赛。
2续写线索：鼓励大卫——心理变化——决定参赛——克服困难——加油助威——完成比赛——感悟
3.词汇激活：
行动类：
①深呼吸：with a deep breath/breathe deeply
②坚持做：insisted on doing/be stick to doing
情绪类：
①热情：enthusiastically /with great passion

The student arrived early, sat front and center, and stood out in my classroom in more ways than one. I’d say that he was about 40 years older than his classmates in my undergraduate communications class. He eagerly jumped into class discussions, with his humor and wisdom of experience. And he was always respectful of the other students’ perspectives, as if each of them were a teacher. Jerry Valencia walked in with a smile—and he left with one too.
“These students gave me the confidence that I didn’t need to feel bad about my age,” Valencia says.
One day, I spotted Valencia on campus. He said he would have to stop taking classes that semester and reapply for next year. By then, he hoped to have earned enough money and have his student-loan papers in order. He asked seriously whether he could still sit in on my communications class.
Sure, I said. But he wouldn’t get any credit.
No problem, he said.
Soon there he was again, back at his old desk, jumping into our discussions on how to find and tell stories in Los Angeles—a 63-year-old man with as much energy and curiosity as any of the youngsters in class.
A lot of Valencia’s classmates apparently knew he couldn’t afford that semester’s tuition but was still doing the homework. “Here he is, willingly taking a class for the delight of it and benefit of learning,”says Jessica Espinosa, a 25-year-old junior. Afterward, I overheard Valencia wanted to stay in school until he earned a master’s degree, but it had taken him 12 years to finish community college, so he had a long way to go.
There is something splendidly unreasonable about Valencia’s determination to get a four-year degree and then a master’s. At his current pace, he’ll be 90 when he finally hangs all that paper on the wall. But that doesn’t seem especially relevant. He’s found all the youthful energy and academic opportunity stimulating. Valencia’s grade in my class this semester will not show up on his transcripts(成绩单). But I’m giving him an A—and in the most important ways, it counts.
4. What made Valencia different from his classmates
A. He was respectful to the teacher.
B. He activated the class atmosphere.
C. He was eager to learn despite his age.
D. He often put forward different opinions.
5. According to the author, why did Valencia continue to attend classes
A. He treasured the chance of learning.
B He wished to show his determination.
C. He needed the credits to further his study.
D. He desired to have an A on his transcripts.
6. Which of the following best describes Valencia
A. Modest and independent. B. Energetic and generous.
C. Enthusiastic and motivated. D. Considerate and intelligent.
7. What can we learn from the passage
A. No pains, no gains. B. It is never too old to learn.
C. Strike the iron while it is hot. D. Where there is life, there is hope.

When Eugenie George first heard that her friend passed an exam, her heart sank. She’d failed that test weeks earlier, and needed more work to advance her own career. But instead of anxiety, she called her friend. “I congratulated her and told her she inspired me,” she says. She was surprised when it changed her attitude, so she could share her friend’s happiness and experience her own, in turn.
Finding pleasure in another person’s good fortune is what social scientists call freudenfreude, a term that describes the joy we feel when someone else succeeds, even if it isn’t directly connected with us. Freudenfreude is like social glue, says Catherine Chambliss, a professor of psychology at Ursinus College in Pennsylvania. It makes relationships “closer and more enjoyable”. Sharing in someone else’s joy can also improve life satisfaction and resilience(适应力) and help people cooperate during a disagreement.
While the benefits of freudenfreude are plentiful, it doesn’t always come easily. Sometimes, your loss might last, making freudenfreude feel out of reach. If you were raised in a family that paired winning with self-worth, Chambliss says, you might misread someone else’s victory as your own personal shortcoming. And factors such as mental health and overall wellbeing(幸福) can also affect your ability to participate in someone else’s joy. Still, freudenfreude is worthwhile and there are ways to encourage the feeling.
Instead of an automatic response, freudenfreude is often an active process. To help people strengthen joy-sharing muscles, Chambliss and her colleagues developed a programme called FreudenfreudeEnhancement Training (FET). They found that depressed people who used the practices for two weeks had an easier time expressing freudenfreude, which built up their relationships and improved their mood.
Jean Grae, an artist, supports friends in this mindset. When someone gets a new opportunity or reaches a milestone, she makes sure to celebrate. Grae says she’s especially moved when anyone considered ‘other’ succeeds. “It’s truly inspirational,” she says, “because it lifts us all up and makes us shine.”
8. What do we know about Eugenie George
A. She took pride in passing her exam. B. She shared her success with her friend.
C. She was pleased with her friend’s success. D. She was annoyed at her failure in an exam.
9. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on about freudenfreude
A. Its great benefits. B. Its disadvantages.
C. Reasons for its absence. D. Ways of improving it.
10. Why is Freudenfreude Enhancement Training (FET) held
A. To test the effect of freudenfreude. B. To help people apply freudenfreude.
C. To get people to know freudenfreude. D. To show the advantages of freudenfreude.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. How to experience freudenfreude
B. Let’s share what leads to freudenfreude.
C. Freudenfreude: View others’ success as our own.
D. A win-win: Freudenfreude brings our own pleasure.

Since 2001, robotic tools have revolutionized the practice of surgery. They have greatly reduced the stress and physical demands normally placed on surgeons and have made certain procedures possible.
One example is “keyhole surgery”, or minimally invasive (微创) surgery, which normally requires surgeons to stand at awkward angles and make difficult movements with their hands to make a cut inside the patient. But in June 2022, surgeon James Ansell used 3D glasses and two sticks to control four robotic arms to perform a procedure to remove a cancerous tumor. “My colleague said... that this feels like cheating,” Ansell said to The Guardian.
Another area of surgery that has had major technological breakthroughs in recent years is telesurgery. Normally, telesurgery relies on a wired connection due to concerns of harming the patient should a wireless connection drop during surgery, but China made several advancements in wireless telesurgery based on 5G technology.
China achieved the first 5G-based remote operation in March 2019 involving a brain surgery procedure between a surgeon in Sanya and a patient in Beijing, a distance totaling nearly 3,000 kilometers. More recently, a team of surgeons successfully completed remote micron-level eye surgery on rabbits located in a different city. The rabbits were at the Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhbù, Guangdon g province, whereas the surgical team who operated on them via a 5G robot were at the Hainan Eye Hospital in Haikou, Hainan province.
Looking to the future, people hope that remote surgery could become commonplace to help heal injured soldiers on the battlefield while keeping surgeons at a safe distance. Some even believe that robotic systems, combined with AI, could one day exceed human surgeons.
But, given current technological limitations and the high costs of these robots which can cost millions of dollars, the complete robot takeover of surgery may still be a while off.
12. What does the “keyhole surgery” example intend to show
A. Great complexity of robotic surgery.
B. Physical challenges surgeons face.
C. Surgical progress enabled by robotic tools.
D. Urgent need for advanced 3D technology.
13. What significant achievement did China make in the field of telesurgery
A. Achieving remote surgery using a wired connection.
B. Completing successfully remote eye surgery on humans.
C. Conducting a 5G-based remote operation on rabbits overseas.
D. Performing the first wireless brain surgery with 5G technology.
14. What can be inferred from the text about robots in the medical field
A. They are quite affordable.
B. They are currently in high demand.
C. They have not been widely used.
D. They have gone beyond human capabilities.
15. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Robotic Surgery Uses 5G Technology
B. Keyhole Surgery Benefits Human Beings
C. Autonomous Robot Achieves Great Progress
D. Medical Robotics Revolutionizes Surgery Method

Resolving (解决) Conflict in Friendships
Conflict is surely a common problem in life and friendships.___16___ That's because there isn't enough depth to guarantee all the trouble it takes to smooth over the disagreement. Unfortunately, even when the friendship reaches a deeper level, conflict continues to happen and can break apart a relationship. Here are some resolutions.
Resolve it the day it happens. One rule my parents follow in their marriage is that they don't go to bed angry with each other.

I've found I need a short cool down period so that I don't act in anger.___17___ Whatever you do, don't let things ride for too long.
___18___ Sometimes if you sit down and talk things over, you begin to see where the other person is coming from. Realize that everyone has been created differently with various talents, abilities, and personality traits. For example, you might be a leader while your friend is more of a follower. You may be frustrated with him or her for not being very decisive. Yet it is important to understand that each person is unique and needs to be appreciated.
Initiate resolution. ___19___ Even when you think the other person is wrong，it's not a bad thing to say "I'm sorry if I offended you in that way." If you're honest and genuine in delivering your words there's a good chance your friend will respond positively.
Most importantly, be loving in what you do. Try to focus on peacefully resolving the disagreement. It is not a most pleasant task to resolve conflict in any friendship. ___20___
A. Don't expect too much.
B. Try to see the other person's perspective.
C. Be the first person in a fight to say sorry for your part.
D. Many shallow friendships end up being ruined after an argument.
E. To say sorry bravely when a conflict breaks out is a better resolution.
F. However, it is worth the efforts because it results in a deeper friendship.
G. For some, counting to one hundred before saying anything may be an option.

第二节 读后续写(25分)
52. 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。
It was the day of the big cross-country run. Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route(路线)through thick evergreen forest.
I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for ten years old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run.
What was wrong He had worked so hard for this event!
I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.”
I bit back my frustration(懊恼). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward.
David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer—that’s all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答.
We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me.
