Greg Heffley is the main character in Jeff Kinney’s best-selling Diary of a Wimpy Kid series of books. Greg is a middle school student with big dreams. In his diary, he writes stories about his struggles to fit in and draws pictures to go with them.
Greg Heffley is a thin but ambitious kid with an active imagination and big plans to be rich and famous — he just has to survive middle school first. To make matters worse, Greg’s lovable best friend, Rowley seems to sail through life and succeed at everything without even trying! As details of his extremely funny — and often disastrous — attempts to infill the pages of his journal, Greg learns to appreciate true friends and the satisfaction that comes from standing up for what is right.
The first live-action movie based on Diary of a Wimpy Kid came out in 2010. Now an animated film based on the original book is about to hit screens.
“The new Diary of a Wimpy Kid is going to feel a lot different from the live-action movie,” Kinney told TFK reporter Lucy Sandor. “Parts of that first movie were reimagined. But the animated version just came to life from the pages of the book,” he said.
Humor inspires Kinney to write. Whether it’s a movie script or a book, he likes to start with jokes. “When I think of a joke, it often comes with a picture in my mind,” he said.
“Then I write. And in the end, I do the drawings.”
Diary of a Wimpy Kid will be available on Disney+ beginning December 3.

A. The animation is reimagined. B. The animation is a sound movie.

A. A book. B. Humor. C. A movie. D. A character.

As a type of dwelling (住宅) in China, cave dwellings (yaodong in Chinese) still can be found in many places of China. According to official statistics, there are still 40 million people living in such dwellings in China.
As early as the New Stone Age, using a wooden framework, grass and soil, families living in the middle reaches of the Yellow River built simple shallow caves in natural earth holes in the mountains. Over 4, 000 years ago, the real caves started to be constructed, which could be related to the natural surroundings. In the areas that were popular with such dwellings, there was very thick loess (黄土). People made full use of the loess layers to create the original cave dwellings.
A cave is usually 6-8 meters long, around 3 meters wide and around 3 meters high. From the outside, it comes in the shape of an arc (拱形), which presents the ancient opinion of “Heaven is round and Ground is square”. Furniture in these caves is very simple, such as a wooden table, wooden chairs and an earth sleeping platform (kang in Chinese).
The most important and unique characteristic of a cave dwelling is that the inside of it is cool in summer and warm in winter. The natural architectural features protect the cave dwellers from being affected by the changes of the environment or weather. Besides, its creation does not damage the environment or occupy farmland. Another feature is that you will feel quite quiet inside.
In Yan’an in northern Shaanxi, a family usually has 3 to 5 caves. The middle one is the chief house, in which the grandparents or parents live. At the bottom right of each dwelling, people usually leave a small pass for their pets, such as cats or dogs, to go through. When constructing the gate for the whole yard, there is a traditional taboo that none of the caves should be in line with the gate. Otherwise, bad luck may fall upon this family.
8. What can we know about cave dwellings
A. They were built using wood, grass, and bamboo.
B They are a very popular kind of house in the world.
C. They have been around for about 2, 000 years.
D. They are usually found in areas with thick loess.
9. Which of the following best describes a cave
A. Arc-shaped. B. Square-shaped. C. Round-shaped. D. Rectangular-shaped.
10. What is the most unique feature of a cave dwelling
A. It is quiet inside. B. It does not occupy farmland.
C It is environmentally friendly. D. It is warm in winter and cool in summer.
11. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To describe the process of building traditional cave dwellings.
B. To introduce the unique architecture of cave dwellings to readers.
C. To discuss the historical and cultural significance of cave dwellings.
D. To explore the living conditions and lifestyles of people in cave dwellings.
D
According to cognitive scientist Ben Goertzel, the world is experiencing a historic moment in artificial intelligence(AI) technology. Goertzel acknowledges that there is plenty of hype (炒作) surrounding the technology but believes that the new large language models that power generative AI have the potential to change the world.
Goertzel believes that generative AI models—like the one that powers ChatGPT-have the potential to replace many tasks currently performed by human workers. Fast-food workers and news copy editors, for example, are impacted by AI.
“Tools like Grammarly decrease the need for human editors,” Goertzel said. “They don’t entirely eliminate the job but they decrease that need. Automatic tools can be used for writing journalistic articles. They’ve been writing. . . sports score summaries and weather reports for a long time.”
Despite this he identifies two main areas AI will not replace: jobs that rely on human interaction and require groundbreaking creativity.
“So one class of things that won’t be eliminated are jobs where the essence is human contact,” like preschool teachers, political strategists, and artists.
Generative AI chatbots are so powerful that it’s difficult to avoid wondering whether the system is conscious.
Goertzel says it doesn’t matter.
“I don’t think we need to resolve the open questions in the philosophy of consciousness to build human-level or even superhuman thinking machines,” he said. “But I think we can make these questions feel irrelevant.”
Goertzel’s insights open a door to understanding the future of AI, and his optimism about the potential of AI to revolutionize the world serves as a powerful reminder of the impact AI may have on society. Whether viewed with excitement or caution, the advancements in AI will surely cause deep thought and discussion for years to come.
12. What does the underlined word “eliminate” in paragraph 3 mean
A Remove. B. Repeat. C. Improve. D. Solve.
13. Who are likely to be replaced by AI according to Ben Goertzel
A. Artists. B. Fast-food workers.
C. Preschool teachers. D. Political strategists.
14. What is Goertzel’s attitude toward a superhuman thinking machine
A. He likes it. B. He thinks it puzzling.
C. He doesn’t accept it as part of his life. D. He suggests putting its philosophical questions aside.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. A World-Changing Breakthrough in AI B. The Potential of AI in Fast-food Industry.
C. Ben Goertzel’s Opinions on the Impact of AI. D. The Advancements in Generative AI.

“Would you say you are more of a scientist or an artist ” I commonly heard this question as I was preparing to start my neuroscience doctoral program, often after I told my teachers and classmates that I love writing poetry. I learned to respond, “A scientist” —not because it was necessarily true, but because I felt it would win me more respect. As an undergraduate, poetry had been a way for me to relax. But in grad school, I wanted to be seen as just as devoted to my work as those around me, who appeared completely undisturbed by nonscientific hobbies. So, I left my poetry by the wayside— but it wasn’t long before I felt a huge void (空虚) in my life.
By the second year of my Ph. D. , my paper project had become very boring and tiring and I was starting to burn out. One afternoon, a student mentioned the weekly event held by the university’s poetry club, of which she was a leader. After hearing how much I enjoyed poetry, she declared, “You should come!” A few days later, I sat in a crowded cafe, excited to be here and to be a part of it.
Through reading and writing poems, I rediscovered how to relax. However, I still worried about appearing less than fully dedicated to my science. So, when a senior grad student in my lab whispered, “I hear you love poetry!” I froze. My heart began to race. She went on to invite me to perform at our department’s art gala (联欢会). “By the way, Cheryl will be performing!” she added.
I was surprised to discover that Cheryl, our lab’s principal investigator, was a dancer. I excitedly sought her out, and we spoke for more than an hour about how science and art could intertwine (交织). She explained that my skill at picking up patterns in experimental results was the same one I used to create rhymes in my poems. With Cheryl as a model, I decided to perform at the gala, for once not feeling I had anything to hide.
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。
The night of the gala, I was amazed at the talent of the performers.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Since then, I decided to be my whole self.

Greg Heffley is the main character in Jeff Kinney’s best-selling Diary of a Wimpy Kid series of books. Greg is a middle school student with big dreams. In his diary, he writes stories about his struggles to fit in and draws pictures to go with them.
Greg Heffley is a thin but ambitious kid with an active imagination and big plans to be rich and famous — he just has to survive middle school first. To make matters worse, Greg’s lovable best friend, Rowley seems to sail through life and succeed at everything without even trying! As details of his extremely funny — and often disastrous — attempts to infill the pages of his journal, Greg learns to appreciate true friends and the satisfaction that comes from standing up for what is right.
The first live-action movie based on Diary of a Wimpy Kid came out in 2010 Now an animated film based on the original book is about to hit screens.
“The new Diary of a Wimpy Kid is going to feel a lot different from the live-action movie,” Kinney told TFK reporter Lucy Sandor. “Parts of that first movie were reimagined. But the animated version just came to life from the pages of the book,” he said.
Humor inspires Kinney to write. Whether it’s a movie script or a book, he likes to start with jokes. “When I think of a joke, it often comes with a picture in my mind,” he said.

As a type of dwelling (住宅) in China, cave dwellings (yaodong in Chinese) still can be found in many places of China. According to official statistics, there are still 40 million people living in such dwellings in China.
As early as the New Stone Age, using a wooden framework, grass and soil, families living in the middle reaches of the Yellow River built simple shallow caves in natural earth holes in the mountains. Over 4, 000 years ago, the real caves started to be constructed, which could be related to the natural surroundings. In the areas that were popular with such dwellings, there was very thick loess (黄土). People made full use of the loess layers to create the original cave dwellings.
A cave is usually 6-8 meters long, around 3 meters wide and around 3 meters high. From the outside, it comes in the shape of an arc (拱形), which presents the ancient opinion of “Heaven is round and Ground is square”. Furniture in these caves is very simple, such as a wooden table, wooden chairs and an earth sleeping platform (kang in Chinese).
The most important and unique characteristic of a cave dwelling is that the inside of it is cool in summer and warm in winter. The natural architectural features protect the cave dwellers from being affected by the changes of the environment or weather. Besides, its creation does not damage the environment or occupy farmland. Another feature is that you will feel quite quiet inside.
In Yan’an in northern Shaanxi, a family usually has 3 to 5 caves. The middle one is the chief house, in which the grandparents or parents live. At the bottom right of each dwelling, people usually leave a small pass for their pets, such as cats or dogs, to go through. When constructing the gate for the whole yard, there is a traditional taboo that none of the caves should be in line with the gate. Otherwise, bad luck may fall upon this family.
8. What can we know about cave dwellings
A. They were built using wood, grass, and bamboo.
B. They are a very popular kind of house in the world.
C. They have been around for about 2, 000 years.
D. They are usually found in areas with thick loess.
9. Which of the following best describes a cave
A. Arc-shaped. B. Square-shaped. C. Round-shaped. D. Rectangular-shaped.
10. What is the most unique feature of a cave dwelling
A. It is quiet inside. B. It does not occupy farmland.
C. It is environmentally friendly. D. It is warm in winter and cool in summer.
11. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To describe the process of building traditional cave dwellings.

According to cognitive scientist Ben Goertzel, the world is experiencing a historic moment in artificial intelligence(AI) technology. Goertzel acknowledges that there is plenty of hype (炒作) surrounding the technology but believes that the new large language models that power generative AI have the potential to change the world.
Goertzel believes that generative AI models—like the one that powers ChatGPT-have the potential to replace many tasks currently performed by human workers. Fast-food workers and news copy editors, for example, are impacted by AI.
“Tools like Grammarly decrease the need for human editors,” Goertzel said. “They don’t entirely eliminate the job but they decrease that need. Automatic tools can be used for writing journalistic articles. They’ve been writing. . . sports score summaries and weather reports for a long time.”
Despite this, he identifies two main areas AI will not replace: jobs that rely on human interaction and require groundbreaking creativity.
“So one class of things that won’t be eliminated are jobs where the essence is human contact,” like preschool teachers, political strategists, and artists.
Generative AI chatbots are so powerful that it’s difficult to avoid wondering whether the system is conscious.
Goertzel says it doesn’t matter.
“I don’t think we need to resolve the open questions in the philosophy of consciousness to build human-level or even superhuman thinking machines,” he said. “But I think we can make these questions feel irrelevant.”
Goertzel’s insights open a door to understanding the future of AI, and his optimism about the potential of AI to revolutionize the world serves as a powerful reminder of the impact AI may have on society. Whether viewed with excitement or caution, the advancements in AI will surely cause deep thought and discussion for years to come.
12. What does the underlined word “eliminate” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Remove. B. Repeat. C. Improve. D. Solve.
13. Who are likely to be replaced by AI according to Ben Goertzel
A. Artists. B. Fast-food workers.
C. Preschool teachers. D. Political strategists.
14. What is Goertzel’s attitude toward a superhuman thinking machine
A. He likes it. B. He thinks it puzzling.
C. He doesn’t accept it as part of his life. D. He suggests putting its philosophical questions aside.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. A World-Changing Breakthrough in AI B. The Potential of AI in Fast-food Industry.
C. Ben Goertzel’s Opinions on the Impact of AI. D. The Advancements in Generative AI.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了认知科学家Ben Goertzel表示，他相信为生成人工智能提供动力的新的大型语言模型有可能改变世界。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段第一句话““Tools like Grammarly decrease the need for human editors,” Goertzel said. (Goertzel说：“像Grammarly这样的工具减少了对人工编辑的需求。”)”以及划线单词所在的后半句话“but they decrease that need (但减少了这种需求)”可知，像Grammarly这样的工具只是减少了对人工编辑的需求，但是并没有完全的消除这种需求，所以划线的单词意为“消除”。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Goertzel believes that generative AI models—like the one that powers ChatGPT-have the potential to replace many tasks currently performed by human workers. Fast-food workers and news copy editors, for example, are impacted by AI. (Goertzel认为，生成人工智能模型——比如为ChatGPT提供动力的模型——有可能取代目前由人类工作者执行的许多任务。例如，快餐工人和新闻编辑都受到AI的影响。)”以及第五段““So one class of things that won’t be eliminated are jobs where the essence is human contact,” like preschool teachers, political strategists, and artists. (“因此，一类不会被淘汰的东西是本质上与人接触的工作，”比如学前教师、政治战略家和艺术家。)”可知，快餐工人的工作最有可能被人工智能所取代。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第八段““I don’t think we need to resolve the open questions in the philosophy of consciousness to build human-level or even superhuman thinking machines,” he said. “But I think we can make these questions feel irrelevant.” (他说：“我认为我们不需要解决意识哲学中的悬而未决的问题来构建人类层面甚至超人的思维机器。”。“但我认为我们可以让这些问题变得无关紧要。”)”可推知， Goertzel对于超人思维机器，可以先不考虑这个哲学意识上的问题。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了认知科学家Ben Goertzel对于目前AI技术的看法，他认为AI有可能会改变世界。所以“Ben Goertzel关于人工智能影响的观点”适合作本文的标题。故选C。

The first tip to show confidence with body language is to keep your hands out of your pockets. We often put our hands in our pockets when we’re unsure of ourselves. And that’s how other people will view us.
Keep your eyes forward
____18____, it often feels natural to lower your head slightly and watch your step. However, this gesture communicates to others that you don’t want to interact. And if you’re not careful, you might get into the habit of doing it all the time. So keep your head up and your eyes forward, even when you’re walking down the street by yourself.
Smile
Try this as an experiment: Smile at someone as you pass by them on the street or walk around the office. ____19____. Now wouldn’t you like to have that effect on people all the time
Firm handshakes

【17题详解】
根据下文“The first tip to show confidence with body language is to keep your hands out of your pockets.(用肢体语言表现自信的第一个技巧是不要把手放在口袋里)”可知，本段给出的建议是不要把手放在口袋里，B选项中pockets对应后文pockets。故B项“避开你的口袋”适合作本段的小标题。故选B。
【18题详解】
根据本段的小标题“Keep your eyes forward(眼睛向前看)”及空后“it often feels natural to lower your head slightly and watch your step(稍微低下头，注意脚下，这通常是很自然的)”可知，本句是在假设行走的时候，该注意脚下。故D项“当你独自行走的时候”符合语境。故选D。
【19题详解】
根据空前“Try this as an experiment: Smile at someone as you pass by them on the street or walk around the office.(试着做个实验：当你在街上或在办公室里走过某人时，对他们微笑)”及空后“Now wouldn’t you like to have that effect on people all the time (难道你不想一直对别人产生这种影响吗？)”可知，上文提到了对他人微笑，可知本句应当说明他们对此的反应。故C项“他们很有可能会报以微笑”符合语境。故选C。
【20题详解】
根据空前“Of course, a handshake is not a contest.(当然，握手不是比赛)”可知，本句承接上文，说明握手的注意事项：不要试图握别人的手太久。故E项“不要试图握别人的手太久”符合语境。故选E。

考查动词不定式。句意：新的研究表明，早餐茶的受欢迎程度可能会继续下降。be likely to do意为“可能做某事”，为固定搭配，所以此处应用to do不定式。故填to continue。
【44题详解】
考查动名词。句意：喝茶的最大原因是放松。动词drink意为“喝”，在介词for后应用动名词形式作宾语。故填drinking。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：大约85%喝伯爵茶和英式早餐茶的人会在里面放牛奶。在定语从句中缺少主语，且先行词为people，所以应用关系代词who或that。故填who/that。

It’s well known that Chinese people attach great importance to labor, for it not only creates a better environment for us to live in but also advocates the spirit of diligence. As for me, there are various kinds of labour tasks to do, such as helping clean the house, washing dishes after dinner and sweeping floor. Doing all these chores helps me learn to be more independent and responsible, thus making me feel a sense of achievement.

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
“Would you say you are more of a scientist or an artist ” I commonly heard this question as I was preparing to start my neuroscience doctoral program, often after I told my teachers and classmates that I love writing poetry. I learned to respond, “A scientist” —not because it was necessarily true, but because I felt it would win me more respect. As an undergraduate, poetry had been a way for me to relax. But in grad school, I wanted to be seen as just as devoted to my work as those around me, who appeared completely undisturbed by nonscientific hobbies. So, I left my poetry by the wayside— but it wasn’t long before I felt a huge void (空虚) in my life.
By the second year of my Ph. D. , my paper project had become very boring and tiring and I was starting to burn out. One afternoon, a student mentioned the weekly event held by the university’s poetry club, of which she was a leader. After hearing how much I enjoyed poetry, she declared, “You should come!” A few days later, I sat in a crowded cafe, excited to be here and to be a part of it.
Through reading and writing poems, I rediscovered how to relax. However, I still worried about appearing less than fully dedicated to my science. So, when a senior grad student in my lab whispered, “I hear you love poetry!” I froze. My heart began to race. She went on to invite me to perform at our department’s art gala (联欢会). “By the way, Cheryl will be performing!” she added.
I was surprised to discover that Cheryl, our lab’s principal investigator, was a dancer. I excitedly sought her out, and we spoke for more than an hour about how science and art could intertwine (交织). She explained that my skill at picking up patterns in experimental results was the same one I used to create rhymes in my poems. With Cheryl as a model, I decided to perform at the gala, for once not feeling I had anything to hide.
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。
The night of the gala, I was amazed at the talent of the performers.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Since then, I decided to be my whole self.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The night of the gala, I was amazed at the talent of the performers. Chatting with the other performers, I found many of them were also graduate students. I realized many shared my concern that we might interpret a passion for art as a lack of passion for science. But over the course of the evening, I found myself at peace with the two halves of my identity, and I got the feeling that others felt that same peace, too.
Since then, I decided to be my whole self. While completing my Ph. D. , I often wrote poetry in my spare time, Some teachers and students have seen the value of this outside interest; others have been distrustful. But when I have my own doubts, I think of some famous figures, whose achievements remind me that art and science can balance and enhance each other. And now, if someone asks me whether I’m more of a scientist or an artist, I very proudly say, “Both.”
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索，文章主要讲述作者喜欢诗歌，但是在研究生院时，受同学的影响，他专注于他的工作，将对诗歌的热爱搁置到一边。后来在读博士的第二年，他碰巧遇到了大学诗歌俱乐部的人，受到他的邀请，他加入了诗歌俱乐部，重拾写诗，并发现写诗可以帮助自己放松。但作者担心别人认为自己对科学不够专心，可当他发现实验室的首席研究员Cheryl是一名舞蹈演员，而且Cheryl会在系文艺晚会上表演时，他受到鼓舞，决定也在文艺晚会上表演。
【详解】1.段落续写
由第一段首句内容“晚会当晚，我对表演者的才华感到惊讶。”可知，第一段可描写作者在晚会上见到了许多和作者一样对艺术有热情的研究生，发现了艺术和科学工作可以共存。
由第二段首句内容“从那以后，我决定做我自己。”可知，第二段可描写作者在科学工作之余，依然坚持了自己对艺术的热爱。
2.续写线索：参加晚会——发现热爱艺术的科学工作者——共同的担心——艺术和科学可以共存——坚持自己——感悟
3.词汇激活
