It was supposed to be a normal trip to the supermarket. My son was little, and it was getting close to nap time, so I was rushing. But when I went to start the car, I realized that I must have locked my keys in the trunk with my bag.
So I took my son and went back inside the store. I had to use their phone to call my husband for the spare key. After many calls and messages with no answer. I was getting upset. My son was tired and getting fussy. I was exhausted from a sleepless night that all moms go through when their kids are teething. When he went into full-on crying, I felt tears come down my face, too.
An employee at the store tapped me on the shoulder and asked me to come with her. I was fearful for a moment, thinking I was going to be scolded and thrown into the storage area to keep us quiet. The employee, whose name was Kelly, took me, to my surprise, to the Starbucks cafe inside the store. She bought me a coffee and settled down with us. As we talked, my son settled into a sound sleep. After about fifteen minutes, she said her break was over and if I couldn’t contact my husband, they would get the trunk open.
After I got home that day, I kept thinking about what Kelly had done for me and wanted to do something. So, Kelly from the Safeway in Delaware, these are the things that you have done because I was thinking of your kindness as I did them: bolding doors for people, letting someone ahead of me in line, hitting “yes” on the donation button at the checkout, and many others.
I am so glad I locked my keys in the car that day. Who would have thought a cup of coffee could have so much of an effect on a person

词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“My son was tired and getting”后文“I was exhausted from a sleepless night that all moms go through when their kids are teething. When he went into full-on crying, I felt tears come down my face, too.”可知，儿子累了，变得很难以取悦。当孩子长牙的时候，所有的妈妈都会经历一个不眠之夜，这让作者精疲力竭。当他嚎啕大哭的时候，作者觉得自己的眼泪也流下来了。故画线词意思是“难以取悦”。故选A。

细节理解题。根据第三段中“The employee, whose name was Kelly, took me, to my surprise, to the Starbucks cafe inside the store. She bought me a coffee and settled down with us. As we talked, my son settled into a sound sleep. After about fifteen minutes, she said her break was over and if I couldn’t contact my husband, they would get the trunk open.(让我惊讶的是，这名名叫Kelly的员工带我来到了店内的星巴克咖啡厅。她给我买了杯咖啡，和我们一起坐了下来。就在我们谈话的时候，我儿子进入了酣睡。大约十五分钟后，她说她的休息时间结束了，如果我联系不上我丈夫，他们就会打开后备箱)”可知，Kelly拍作者的肩膀是为了安慰她。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“After I got home that day, I kept thinking about what Kelly had done for me and wanted to do something. So, Kelly from the Safeway in Delaware, these are the things that you have done because I was thinking of your kindness as I did them: bolding doors for people, letting someone ahead of me in line, hitting “yes” on the donation button at the checkout, and many others.(那天回家后，我一直在想Kelly为我做了什么，我想为她做点什么。所以，来自特拉华州西夫韦超市的Kelly，这些是你所做的事情，因为我在做这些事情的时候也想到了你的善良：为人们打开门，让别人排在我前面，在付款台的捐赠按钮上点击“是”，还有很多其他的事情)”可推知，作者想通过列举她在第四段中所做的事情来表明Kelly让她成为一个更好的人。故选C。

主旨大意题。根据最后一段“I am so glad I locked my keys in the car that day. Who would have thought a cup of coffee could have so much of an effect on a person (我真庆幸那天我把钥匙锁在车里了。谁能想到一杯咖啡会对一个人产生如此大的影响呢？)”结合讲述了作者在去超市的时候把车钥匙锁在了后备箱里，给丈夫打电话也没人接，而儿子因为累了也开始嚎啕大哭，这时一个店员为作者买了一杯咖啡，给了作者安慰。可知，A选项“一杯咖啡”最符合文章标题。故选A。

Picture the scene: you’ve spent years working towards a very specific goal. You’ve put in countless hours of work and made many efforts along the way, but now that you’ve got there it doesn’t feel quite like you imagined. Instead of celebration, you feel emptiness, confusion and doubt.
Welcome to the anti-climax. The often-experienced but seldom-discussed downside of achieving life’s biggest milestones. Many of us work tirelessly towards our goals. We may spend our lives dreaming of the day we get married, publish our first hook or buy our first home. However, oftentimes, when we achieve these things it doesn’t feel quite as expected. In fact, the achievement of these goals feels a bit of a letdown.
So why do we often experience an anti-climax with big goals, even though we’re happy to achieve them “An anti-climax can be an unexpected by-product of a milestone achievement. Usually, the more significant the milestone, the greater the anti-climax may be. The intensity（强度）of an anti-climax often relies on what we expect of this achievement.” says Rachel Vora. a psychotherapist（心理治疗师）.“The journey to achieving a milestone can he exciting and tiring in addition to giving us a sense of purpose and focus. Therefore, when this disappears overnight. we can often feel lost and confused, in spite of feeling proud of our achievement.
When this happens it can contribute to a mixture of emotions. We often falsely believe that we’ll feel completely different afterwards or that our feelings of low self-worth will disappear, but this is rarely the case. “Clients（客户）often present to me with an extremely great sense of ‘is this it ’ and ‘what now ’.” says Vora. “These feelings of confusion and disappointment, if let ignored, have the potential to cause clients to be in low spirits, or even worse.”
8. Why does the author mention the examples in paragraph 2
A. To present a fact. B. To prove a rule.
C. To explain a term. D. To make a prediction.
9. What does Vora think is the leading cause of the anti-climax
A. Low self-worth. B. High expectations.
C. Sense of purpose. D. Unexpected achievements.
10. Which of the following is a case of the anti-climax
A. Amy felt empty before giving a speech.
B. Jack felt lost after his first novel came out.
C. Mary felt proud when she joined a ballet club.
D. Tom felt doubtful about taking further education.
11. What will the author probably talk about in the following text
A. How to hold back feelings.
B. How to improve self-worth.
C. Hon to identify the anti-climax.
D. How to deal with the anti-climax.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文，文章介绍了人们在完成目标后的反高潮现象。
8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Welcome to the anti-climax. The often-experienced but seldom-discussed downside of achieving life’s biggest milestones.” 欢迎来到反高潮。在实现人生最大的里程碑时，经常经历但很少讨论的负面影响。第二段开头就提到了术语anti-climax，后文又进行举例说明，所以作者在第二段提到的例子是为了解释术语，故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The intensity of an anti-climax often relies on what we expect of this achievement.” says Rachel Vora.” 反高潮的强度往往取决于我们对这一成就的期望。蕾切尔·沃拉说。可知，Vora认为导致反高潮的原因是人们期望太高，故选B项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“However, oftentimes, when we achieve these things it doesn’t feel quite as expected. In fact, the achievement of these goals feels a bit of a letdown.” 然而，通常情况下，当我们完成这些事情时，感觉并不像预期的那样。事实上，这些目标的实现让人感觉有点失望。可知，反高潮的表现是目标完成后感觉到失望，B项“杰克的第一部小说出版后感到很迷茫”，B项符合，故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““These feelings of confusion and disappointment, if let ignored, have the potential to cause clients to be in low spirits, or even worse.” 这些困惑和失望的感觉，如果被忽视，可能会导致客户情绪低落，甚至更糟。最后一段说明了反高潮对人们情绪的影响，所以后文应该对此现象提出建议，故选D项。

In looking through your social media, there’s a good chance you’ve noticed pictures accompanied by texts. The pictures are likely made possible by a text-to-image program called DALL-E. For example, Twitter user posted a tweet with the text, “To be or not to be, rabbi holding avocado, marble sculpture.” Then a matching picture appears below.
The AI models come from Google’s Imagen software as well as OpenAI. a start-up backed by Microsoft. On its website, OpenAI calls DALL-E “a new Al system that can create realistic images and art from a description in natural language.” But most of what’s happening in this area is coming from a relatively small group of people sharing their pictures. That’s because Google and OpenAI have not made the technology broadly available to the public.
The text-to-picture services identify the most important parts of a user’s text and then guess the best way to picture those terms. There’s generally a text box, a button to start the generation process and an area below to display images. To indicate the source. Google and OpenAI add watermarks in the bottom right comer of images from DALL-E and Imagen.
Engineers trained the models on various collections of words and pictures from the web. OpenAI recognizes the potential for harm that could come from a model. To avoid the risk, employees removed violent content from training data, and there are filters（筛选）stopping DALL-E from producing images if users submit（提交）violent or illegal content.
Boris Dayma, a developer from Texas spelled out the problems in an explanation of their software. Despite the risks, Dhariwal, a research scientist at OpenAI, said it could open up creative opportunities for individuals and could help with commercial applications for dressing up websites. Results should continue to improve over time.
12. What is the function of the the AI system DALL-E
A. Beautifying pictures at users’ request.
B. Producing pictures from human words.
C. Changing pictures into vivid descriptions.
D. Providing pictures for users to choose from.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning DALL-E
A. Its users’ rights. B. Its operating conditions
C. Its working process. D. Its company’s prospect.
14. How could DALL-E ensure the images it produces legal
A. All images come from a unified model.
B. The training data is selected beforehand.
C. Improper requests can’t be submitted.
D. Filters remove the unhealthy description.
15. What is Dhariwal’s attitude to the future of DALL-E
A. Positive. B. Objective. C. Uncertain. D. Worried.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文，介绍了人工智能系统DALL-E的功能。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The pictures are likely made possible by a text-to-image program called DALL-E.” （这些图片可能是由名为DALL-E的文本转换图像程序实现的。）可知，AI系统DALL-E的功能是把人类的文字转换成图片，故选B项。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“There’s generally a text box, a button to start the generation process and an area below to display images. To indicate the source. Google and OpenAI add watermarks in the bottom right comer of images from DALL-E and Imagen.”(通常有一个文本框，一个按钮来开始生成过程，下面有一个区域来显示图像。表示源。谷歌和OpenAI在DALL-E和Imagen图片的右下角添加水印。)可知，第三段主要描述了DALL-E的工作过程。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“To avoid the risk, employees removed violent content from training data, and there are filters stopping DALL-E from producing images if users submit violent or illegal content.”(为了避免风险，员工从培训数据中删除了暴力内容，如果用户提交暴力或非法内容，DALL-E还会使用过滤器阻止其生成图像。)可知，DALL-E的训练数据是事先选定的，以此来确定产生的图片都是合法的，故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite the risks, Dhariwal, a research scientist at OpenAI, said it could open up creative opportunities for individuals and could help with commercial applications for dressing up websites. Results should continue to improve over time.” (尽管存在风险，OpenAI的研究科学家达利瓦说，它可以为个人打开创造性的机会，并可以帮助美化网站的商业应用。随着时间的推移，结果应该会继续改善。)可知Dhariwal对于DALL-E的未来抱有积极态度，故选A项。

根据上文“Mars also has an atmosphere, but it is very thin and made up mostly of carbon dioxide. Because of its thin atmosphere and greater distance from the Sun, Mars is much colder than Earth.(火星也有大气层，但大气层很薄，主要由二氧化碳组成。由于火星大气层稀薄，距离太阳更远，所以它比地球冷得多)”以及后文“The dust storms of Mars can grow so big that sometimes they blanket the entire planet and last for months. The poles on Mars are a lot like Antarctica, capped by ice, but much of Mars’s ice is made from carbon dioxide, not water.(火星上的沙尘暴会变得非常大，有时会覆盖整个星球，持续数月之久火星的两极很像南极洲，被冰覆盖，但火星的大部分冰是由二氧化碳而不是水构成的)”可知，本句是在说明火星上的气候，后文提到了沙尘暴，可见火星上有风，故E选项“然而，火星确实有天气，有云和风”符合语境，故选E。
【19题详解】
根据后文“Since 1960, more than half of all attempted Mars missions have failed.(自1960年以来，超过一半的火星任务都失败了)”可知，后文提到很多火星任务都失败了，可见火星任务并不容易实施。故B选项“火星任务从来都不容易”符合语境，故选B。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Chinese experts are confident about their plan to explore Mars, in spite of the many challenges. The first Mars unmanned spacecraft was launched from Wenchang around 2020. But it is only the beginning of deep voyages into outer space.(尽管面临诸多挑战，中国专家对他们的火星探测计划充满信心。第一艘火星无人飞船于2020年前后在文昌发射升空。但这只是外太空深度航行的开始)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，应承接上文继续说明中国对宇宙的探索方向，故F选项“中国将继续探索宇宙的奥秘”符合语境，故选F。

47. 阅读下面短文，根据其内容和所给段落的开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I found that Minnie had been unhappy ever since her family moved away from Hartford, but I was never quite sure how to approach her about it.
From the time she was a child, she was abnormally quiet; she would rarely speak unless she was spoken to, and even then her response would be very little. Despite her soft-spoken nature. she showed a great interest in art-particularly painting. Whatever she lacked in words, she made up with the paintbrush, and so it was through her paintings that I first noticed something was wrong. When she painted an animal, it would be the pigeons(鸽子)flying in Hanford Park; or, when she painted a person, it would be the partner she played badminton with at the Hartford playground. Whether intentionally or not, he sowed in her paintings what she hesitated to put into words.
Being her elder cousin, I was eager to make her move to the big city as smooth as possible. Hartford was a small country town.so Minnie had grown up alongside familiar faces who were used to her timidity(羞怯). But in the city everyone was a stranger, which made it a challenge for her to communicate with others.
This problem was more obvious with her changing schools. What’s more she was under some pressure to improve her grades. Although she was a good student, her mother was very demanding of her. She always wanted Minnie to seize all the opportunities to be the best, but it was really difficult for Minnie.
On Fridays when my high school finishes early, I usually head over to the middle school to walk Minnie home. It being such a Friday, I approached the school gate expecting to find her waiting for me as usual, but she wasn’t there.
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。
The guard said he had seen Minnie leave alone already.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
There she was,sitting helplessly in the waiting area of the train station.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The security guard said he had seen Minnie leave alone already. Immediately I called her mother, only to find she wasn't home. Anxious and worried, I took the usual path home, asking passers-by whether they had seen such a girl. But she was nowhere to be found. I was burning with anxiety. Standing by the roadside, I was at a loss what to do when her paintings of Hartford came to my mind. A ray of hope rose in my heart. Without hesitation, I rushed to the train station.
There she was, sitting helplessly in the waiting area of the train station. I hurried to her, but all my questions went unanswered. Then I took my notebook and drew a sad face with a question mark. Slowly, she picked it up and drew a girl and a house-her Hartford home. Seeing that, I gave her a hug, saying “It’s never easy to start a new life, but we are all here with you.” She nodded in relief. Hand in hand, we headed home.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个叫做Minnie孩子性格内向，不善言谈，但她喜欢通过绘画来表达。但Minnie一家从Hartford搬到大城市后非常不适应陌生的环境，面临巨大的压力和妈妈的严格要求她总是闷闷不乐。作为Minnie的堂兄，作者一致不知道如何和她谈这件事，但是每周五作者都会陪Minnie一起回家。但是这周五，作者发现Minnie没有像往常一样在门口等他。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“门卫说他看见Minnie已经独自离开了。”可知，第一段可描写作者寻找Minnie的过程，并根据平时两人相处的细节猜测Minnie最有可能去的地方。
②由第二段首句内容“她就在那儿，在火车站候车室无助地坐着。”可知，第二段可描写作者询问她为什么会在火车站，并开导她劝她回家。
2.续写线索：寻找——担忧——找到——询问出走原因——开导——如释重负——回家
3.词汇激活
行为类：
①寻找：find/look for/search for
②匆匆赶到：hurry to/rush to/dash to
③拥抱：give sb. a hug/embrace sb.
情绪类：
①担忧：worried/anxious/burn with anxiety/concerned
②如释重负：in relief/relieved
【点睛】[高分句型1]. Anxious and worried, I took the usual path home, asking passers-by whether they had seen such a girl. (运用了Anxious and worried形容词做状语和现在分词短语做状语)
[高分句型2]. Standing by the roadside, I was at a loss what to do when her paintings of Hartford came to my mind.(运用了现在分词短语做状语和由when引导的时间状语从句。)

It was supposed to be a normal trip to the supermarket. My son was little, and it was getting close to nap time, so I was rushing. But when I went to start the car, I realized that I must have locked my keys in the trunk with my bag.
So I took my son and went back inside the store. I had to use their phone to call my husband for the spare key. After many calls and messages with no answer. I was getting upset. My son was tired and getting fussy. I was exhausted from a sleepless night that all moms go through when their kids are teething. When he went into full-on crying, I felt tears come down my face, too.
An employee at the store tapped me on the shoulder and asked me to come with her. I was fearful for a moment, thinking I was going to be scolded and thrown into the storage area to keep us quiet. The employee, whose name was Kelly, took me, to my surprise, to the Starbucks cafe inside the store. She bought me a coffee and settled down with us. As we talked, my son settled into a sound sleep. After about fifteen minutes, she said her break was over and if I couldn’t contact my husband, they would get the trunk open.
After I got home that day, I kept thinking about what Kelly had done for me and wanted to do something. So, Kelly from the Safeway in Delaware, these are the things that you have done because I was thinking of your kindness as I did them: bolding doors for people, letting someone ahead of me in line, hitting “yes” on the donation button at the checkout, and many others.

Picture the scene: you’ve spent years working towards a very specific goal. You’ve put in countless hours of work and made many efforts along the way, but now that you’ve got there it doesn’t feel quite like you imagined. Instead of celebration, you feel emptiness, confusion and doubt.
Welcome to the anti-climax. The often-experienced but seldom-discussed downside of achieving life’s biggest milestones. Many of us work tirelessly towards our goals. We may spend our lives dreaming of the day we get married, publish our first hook or buy our first home. However, oftentimes, when we achieve these things it doesn’t feel quite as expected. In fact, the achievement of these goals feels a bit of a letdown.
So why do we often experience an anti-climax with big goals, even though we’re happy to achieve them “An anti-climax can be an unexpected by-product of a milestone achievement. Usually, the more significant the milestone, the greater the anti-climax may be. The intensity（强度）of an anti-climax often relies on what we expect of this achievement.” says Rachel Vora. a psychotherapist（心理治疗师）.“The journey to achieving a milestone can he exciting and tiring in addition to giving us a sense of purpose and focus. Therefore, when this disappears overnight. we can often feel lost and confused, in spite of feeling proud of our achievement.
When this happens it can contribute to a mixture of emotions. We often falsely believe that we’ll feel completely different afterwards or that our feelings of low self-worth will disappear, but this is rarely the case. “Clients（客户）often present to me with an extremely great sense of ‘is this it ’ and ‘what now ’.” says Vora. “These feelings of confusion and disappointment, if let ignored, have the potential to cause clients to be in low spirits, or even worse.”
8. Why does the author mention the examples in paragraph 2
A. To present a fact. B. To prove a rule.
C. To explain a term. D. To make a prediction.
9. What does Vora think is the leading cause of the anti-climax
A. Low self-worth. B. High expectations.
C. Sense of purpose. D. Unexpected achievements.
10. Which of the following is a case of the anti-climax
A. Amy felt empty before giving a speech.
B. Jack felt lost after his first novel came out.
C. Mary felt proud when she joined a ballet club.
D. Tom felt doubtful about taking further education.
11. What will the author probably talk about in the following text
A. How to hold back feelings.
B. How to improve self-worth.
C. Hon to identify the anti-climax.
D. How to deal with the anti-climax.

In looking through your social media, there’s a good chance you’ve noticed pictures accompanied by texts. The pictures are likely made possible by a text-to-image program called DALL-E. For example, Twitter user posted a tweet with the text, “To be or not to be, rabbi holding avocado, marble sculpture.” Then a matching picture appears below.
The AI models come from Google’s Imagen software as well as OpenAI. a start-up backed by Microsoft. On its website, OpenAI calls DALL-E “a new Al system that can create realistic images and art from a description in natural language.” But most of what’s happening in this area is coming from a relatively small group of people sharing their pictures. That’s because Google and OpenAI have not made the technology broadly available to the public.
The text-to-picture services identify the most important parts of a user’s text and then guess the best way to picture those terms. There’s generally a text box, a button to start the generation process and an area below to display images. To indicate the source. Google and OpenAI add watermarks in the bottom right comer of images from DALL-E and Imagen.
Engineers trained the models on various collections of words and pictures from the web. OpenAI recognizes the potential for harm that could come from a model. To avoid the risk employees removed violent content from training data, and there are filters（筛选）stopping DALL-E from producing images if users submit（提交）violent or illegal content.
Boris Dayma, a developer from Texas spelled out the problems in an explanation of their software. Despite the risks, Dhariwal, a research scientist at OpenAI, said it could open up creative opportunities for individuals and could help with commercial applications for dressing up websites. Results should continue to improve over time.
12. What is the function of the the AI system DALL-E
A. Beautifying pictures at users’ request.
B. Producing pictures from human words.
C. Changing pictures into vivid descriptions.
D. Providing pictures for users to choose from.
13. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning DALL-E
A. Its users’ rights. B. Its operating conditions
C. Its working process. D. Its company’s prospect.
14. How could DALL-E ensure the images it produces legal
A. All images come from a unified model.
B. The training data is selected beforehand.
C. Improper requests can’t be submitted.
D. Filters remove the unhealthy description.
15. What is Dhariwal’s attitude to the future of DALL-E
A. Positive. B. Objective. C. Uncertain. D. Worried.

47. 阅读下面短文，根据其内容和所给段落的开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I found that Minnie had been unhappy ever since her family moved away from Hartford, but I was never quite sure how to approach her about it.
From the time she was a child, she was abnormally quiet; she would rarely speak unless she was spoken to, and even then her response would be very little. Despite her soft-spoken nature. she showed a great interest in art-particularly painting. Whatever she lacked in words, she made up with the paintbrush, and so it was through her paintings that I first noticed something was wrong. When she painted an animal, it would be the pigeons(鸽子)flying in Hanford Park; or, when she painted a person, it would be the partner she played badminton with at the Hartford playground. Whether intentionally or not, he sowed in her paintings what she hesitated to put into words.
Being her elder cousin, I was eager to make her move to the big city as smooth as possible. Hartford was a small country town.so Minnie had grown up alongside familiar faces who were used to her timidity(羞怯). But in the city everyone was a stranger, which made it a challenge for her to communicate with others.
This problem was more obvious with her changing schools. What’s more, she was under some pressure to improve her grades. Although she was a good student, her mother was very demanding of her. She always wanted Minnie to seize all the opportunities to be the best, but it was really difficult for Minnie.
On Fridays when my high school finishes early, I usually head over to the middle school to walk Minnie home. It being such a Friday, I approached the school gate expecting to find her waiting for me as usual, but she wasn’t there.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右;
