The tomato leaf miner moth (潜叶蛾) originates from Peru and is common throughout South America. However, it has spread through Europe since 2007 and has become one of the largest pests in Mediterranean regions, threatening food supplies. Experts around the world are currently struggling with new ways to battle the moth, but it has developed resistance to pesticides (杀虫剂), leaving farmers helpless to stop the damage. A new study from the University of Portsmouth has shown that the answer may lie in the tropical tent web spider.
Scientists carried out laboratory tests and found that the spiders banded together to form webs that easily caught the flying insects, which they then ate. Dr Lena Grinsted, the lead author of the study, said, “The tropical tent web spiders operate in large groups and can create giant joined-up webs capable of catching insects in the air. This could potentially lead to a reduction of reliance on chemical pesticides, resulting in less pollution in soils, waterways and food chains in the future.”
Crop damage is also caused by the larvae (幼虫), which directly attack the tomato fruit, making the crop ugly and thus unmarketable. Larvae live inside the leaf until they begin the process of turning into a moth, making them difficult to control. However, scientists expect that targeting the adult moth population will reduce the number of eggs being laid. In addition, the spiders build the biggest webs during the summer, which can benefit the tomato planting and growing season in May and June.
The researchers said the study would “open doors for the use of group-living spiders to control agricultural pests” but warned that more work was needed to check the spiders did not change the ecology of regions. “Future studies are needed to investigate whether the spiders may negatively impact crop pollination (传粉) by also catching bees and other key pollinators.” Dr Grinsted added.
4. Why is it difficult to get rid of the moth according to paragraph 1
A. It is large in size. B. It is drug-resistant.
C It spreads too quickly. D. It threatens food supplies.
5. What made using the spiders to control pests possible
A. Their ability to weave huge webs. B. Their importance in the food chain.
C. The effect of chemical pesticides on soil. D. The cost reduction of building waterways.
6. What is Dr Grinsted’s attitude towards the new pest-control project
A. Optimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Cautious. D. Disapproving.
7. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Moths: The Biggest Threat to Crops B. Spiders: The Insect-Catching Lovers
C. Moths: A Headache for Modern Agriculture D. Spiders: An Eco-friendly Alternative to Drugs
C
A recent study in Japan has revealed that a wearable soft robot, named Relicbo, can improve the experience of patients in medical treatments, such as injections(注射)and other unpleasant therapies. The purpose of the robot is to help ease pain and defend people against anxiety. The study, led by researchers at the University of Tsukuba, was inspired in part by the numerous needles people had to endure while being vaccinated(接种疫苗)against COVID-19. Some people felt an intense dislike for these needles, which led to fewer people getting vaccinated.
The robot is soft and covered in fur. It contains small airbags internally that inflate(膨胀)in response to hand movement. Participants in the study who wore the robot while subjected to a medium heat stimulation, experienced less pain in the test than those who did not wear the robot. The test proved that the pain and anxiety being felt could be reduced sharply by lessening the experience of pain through using the robot.
The research team checked the effectiveness of the wearable robot while being handled by participants under certain conditions, based on the clenching of the hand. The team placed painful heat stimulation on the other arm that was not holding the robot. They then measured cortisol levels from the participants’ saliva samples, suggesting levels of stress hormones. The pain felt by the patients was given specific ratings and was also recorded using an assessment scale. The people in the study were given a survey test to assess their fear of injections before and after the experiment with the wearable robot was completed.
The study proved that holding the robot can case the experience of patients who were receiving injections. The research team hopes to use this study to advance the robot for use during painful situations, such as getting medical shots or similar conditions.
8. What is the function of the robot
A. To assist doctors in injecting accurately.
B. To help relieve people’s pain from injections.
C. To evaluate patients’ physical and mental health.
D. To assess the effects of getting vaccinated against COVID-19.
9. What does the underlined word “lessening” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Detecting.
B. Increasing.
C. Recording.
D. Decreasing.
10. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. Methods of testing the effectiveness of the robot.
B. Reasons for conducting the experiment on the robot.
C. The advantages of the new robot in the medical field.
D. The process of reducing people’s fear of injections.
11. What will researchers probably do next
A. Evaluate the risk of the robot.
B. Develop other devices for medical treatment.
C. Promote the application of the robot.
D. Carry out more tests on the robot.

As AI art generators take the world by storm, some people wonder if their works should count as art at all. The technology is still developing and has some wrinkles to iron out (消除), which means there are indeed flaws to consider alongside the incredible artwork a good artificial intelligence can produce.
Art is classed as the product of imagination, skill, experience, and emotion, usually meant to represent something for the public to enjoy. Artists spent time and effort putting their inner worlds onto these works. Machine intelligence also puts a lot of work into sorting through tons of data, linking someone’s prompt (指令) to datasets, and trying to represent it as best as possible. The difference is that the AI is driven by commands instead of an emotional desire to express itself.
AI painters can produce over 1,000 original works of art with every tap of the enter key on a keyboard. But a mass-produced print of the Mona Lisa is worth less than the actual Leonardo da Vinci’s painting. Why Scarcity — there’s only one of the original. Should anyone pay for these things And if an artist puts AI masterpieces up for sale, what should the price be
AI art involves a program mimicking (模仿) the work of existing artists to create a new piece according to the request of a human. But who made the artwork, the machine or its user And can the original artists sue for (控告) copyright violation Such questions complicate the merging of artificial intelligence and the art industry, while fueling arguments against recognizing AI-generated art as marketable artistic products.
Once we’ve answered those questions, we can tackle the really big one: When an AI-generated painting wins an award, who gets the prize
12. How is AI art different from human art
A. It is the product of experience. B. It combines different styles of work.
C. It is not a mirror of artists’ emotions. D. It doesn’t cost much money to produce.
13. Why does the writer mention Mona Lisa in paragraph 3
A. To present the potential trouble with the value of AI art.
B. To introduce a new way of preserving art masterpieces.
C. To show the advantages of AI painters over human artists.
D. To prove the popularity of classic artworks among viewers.
14. What can we infer from paragraph 4
A. AI art promotes the sale of artistic products. B. AI art makes copyright issues more complicated.
C. Artists can create more works with the help of AI. D. There will be fierce competition in the art industry.
15. What is the purpose of the text
A. To persuade. B. To inform. C. To describe. D. To argue.

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。
“Why she let out my secret why she did that to me ” I vividly remembered that day when I was confused at the knowing looks which everyone gave me. That terrible experience was imprinted (铭刻) on my mind. I couldn’t forgive the person with whom I had shared my secret. She lost all my trust and friendship.
Five years back, Sally was a new addition in our class. I don’t know what but there was something sticky about her that attracted me towards her. She was the most friendly person I knew. We started as classmates but after a few months we were like best friends. We did homework together and dreamed of going to the same university one day. We hung out and went to the movies on weekends. That was a sweet time.
Nevertheless, I couldn’t expect such an enormous betrayal from her. I didn’t know what made me tell Sally about my personal life. I felt much regret to myself. She exaggerated (夸大) the matter, added her own spices to it and made it the hottest topic in school. It was like someone had stabbed a knife in my back. After she revealed my secret, everyone at school started laughing at me and gazing at me wherever I passed. I was like a pond in which someone had thrown a stone and it had been spilled up. It was the most embarrassing time I had gone through. Soon afterwards, I left school and shifted to another one, because I thought no one had the right to laugh at me. Sally called me many times but I didn’t answer. My heart was broken because the person whom I trusted most cheated me.
I made efforts to remove the scar from my heart. I started a new life, leaving all the bad memories behind, because they made me a person who often thought about the past experiences. Five years later, with the life going on, I made new friends and seldom thought about the past.
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。
But one day I met Anna in the market, my former classmate, who told me shocking news.

I immediately called Sally in order to explain the misunderstanding.

The tomato leaf miner moth (潜叶蛾) originates from Peru and is common throughout South America. However, it has spread through Europe since 2007 and has become one of the largest pests in Mediterranean regions, threatening food supplies. Experts around the world are currently struggling with new ways to battle the moth, but it has developed resistance to pesticides (杀虫剂), leaving farmers helpless to stop the damage. A new study from the University of Portsmouth has shown that the answer may lie in the tropical tent web spider.
Scientists carried out laboratory tests and found that the spiders banded together to form webs that easily caught the flying insects, which they then ate. Dr Lena Grinsted, the lead author of the study, said, “The tropical tent web spiders operate in large groups and can create giant joined-up webs capable of catching insects in the air. This could potentially lead to a reduction of reliance on chemical pesticides, resulting in less pollution in soils, waterways and food chains in the future.”
Crop damage is also caused by the larvae (幼虫), which directly attack the tomato fruit, making the crop ugly and thus unmarketable. Larvae live inside the leaf until they begin the process of turning into a moth, making them difficult to control. However, scientists expect that targeting the adult moth population will reduce the number of eggs being laid. In addition, the spiders build the biggest webs during the summer, which can benefit the tomato planting and growing season in May and June.
The researchers said the study would “open doors for the use of group-living spiders to control agricultural pests” but warned that more work was needed to check the spiders did not change the ecology of regions. “Future studies are needed to investigate whether the spiders may negatively impact crop pollination (传粉) by also catching bees and other key pollinators.” Dr Grinsted added.
4. Why is it difficult to get rid of the moth according to paragraph 1
A. It is large in size. B. It is drug-resistant.
C. It spreads too quickly. D. It threatens food supplies.
5. What made using the spiders to control pests possible
A. Their ability to weave huge webs. B. Their importance in the food chain.
C. The effect of chemical pesticides on soil. D. The cost reduction of building waterways.
6. What is Dr Grinsted’s attitude towards the new pest-control project
A. Optimistic. B. Indifferent. C. Cautious. D. Disapproving.
7. Which is the most suitable title for the text
A. Moths: The Biggest Threat to Crops B. Spiders: The Insect-Catching Lovers
C. Moths: A Headache for Modern Agriculture D. Spiders: An Eco-friendly Alternative to Drugs
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D

A recent study in Japan has revealed that a wearable soft robot, named Relicbo, can improve the experience of patients in medical treatments, such as injections(注射)and other unpleasant therapies. The purpose of the robot is to help ease pain and defend people against anxiety. The study, led by researchers at the University of Tsukuba, was inspired in part by the numerous needles people had to endure while being vaccinated(接种疫苗)against COVID-19. Some people felt an intense dislike for these needles, which led to fewer people getting vaccinated.
The robot is soft and covered in fur. It contains small airbags internally that inflate(膨胀)in response to hand movement. Participants in the study who wore the robot while subjected to a medium heat stimulation, experienced less pain in the test than those who did not wear the robot. The test proved that the pain and anxiety being felt could be reduced sharply by lessening the experience of pain through using the robot.
The research team checked the effectiveness of the wearable robot while being handled by participants under certain conditions, based on the clenching of the hand. The team placed painful heat stimulation on the other arm that was not holding the robot. They then measured cortisol levels from the participants’ saliva samples, suggesting levels of stress hormones. The pain felt by the patients was given specific ratings and was also recorded using an assessment scale. The people in the study were given a survey test to assess their fear of injections before and after the experiment with the wearable robot was completed.
The study proved that holding the robot can case the experience of patients who were receiving injections. The research team hopes to use this study to advance the robot for use during painful situations, such as getting medical shots or similar conditions.
8. What is the function of the robot
A. To assist doctors in injecting accurately.
B. To help relieve people’s pain from injections.
C To evaluate patients’ physical and mental health.
D. To assess the effects of getting vaccinated against COVID-19.
9. What does the underlined word “lessening” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Detecting.
B. Increasing.
C. Recording.
D. Decreasing.
10. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. Methods of testing the effectiveness of the robot.
B. Reasons for conducting the experiment on the robot.
C. The advantages of the new robot in the medical field.
D. The process of reducing people’s fear of injections.
11. What will researchers probably do next
A. Evaluate the risk of the robot.
B. Develop other devices for medical treatment.
C. Promote the application of the robot.
D Carry out more tests on the robot.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C

As AI art generators take the world by storm, some people wonder if their works should count as art at all. The technology is still developing and has some wrinkles to iron out (消除), which means there are indeed flaws to consider alongside the incredible artwork a good artificial intelligence can produce.
Art is classed as the product of imagination, skill, experience, and emotion, usually meant to represent something for the public to enjoy. Artists spent time and effort putting their inner worlds onto these works. Machine intelligence also puts a lot of work into sorting through tons of data, linking someone’s prompt (指令) to datasets, and trying to represent it as best as possible. The difference is that the AI is driven by commands instead of an emotional desire to express itself.
AI painters can produce over 1,000 original works of art with every tap of the enter key on a keyboard. But a mass-produced print of the Mona Lisa is worth less than the actual Leonardo da Vinci’s painting. Why Scarcity — there’s only one of the original. Should anyone pay for these things And if an artist puts AI masterpieces up for sale, what should the price be
AI art involves a program mimicking (模仿) the work of existing artists to create a new piece according to the request of a human. But who made the artwork, the machine or its user And can the original artists sue for (控告) copyright violation Such questions complicate the merging of artificial intelligence and the art industry, while fueling arguments against recognizing AI-generated art as marketable artistic products.
Once we’ve answered those questions, we can tackle the really big one: When an AI-generated painting wins an award, who gets the prize
12. How is AI art different from human art
A. It is the product of experience. B. It combines different styles of work.
C. It is not a mirror of artists’ emotions. D. It doesn’t cost much money to produce.
13. Why does the writer mention Mona Lisa in paragraph 3
A. To present the potential trouble with the value of AI art.
B. To introduce a new way of preserving art masterpieces.
C. To show the advantages of AI painters over human artists.
D. To prove the popularity of classic artworks among viewers.
14. What can we infer from paragraph 4
A. AI art promotes the sale of artistic products. B. AI art makes copyright issues more complicated.
C. Artists can create more works with the help of AI. D. There will be fierce competition in the art industry.
15. What is the purpose of the text
A. To persuade. B. To inform. C. To describe. D. To argue.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了AI艺术创作是否是真的艺术的问题。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The difference is that the AI is driven by commands instead of an emotional desire to express itself.(不同之处在于，AI是由命令驱动的，而不是由表达自己的情感欲望驱动的)”可知，人工智能艺术与人类艺术的不同在于它不是人类情感的反应。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“AI painters can produce over 1,000 original works of art with every tap of the enter key on a keyboard. But a mass-produced print of the Mona Lisa is worth less than the actual Leonardo da Vinci’s painting. Why Scarcity — there’s only one of the original. Should anyone pay for these things And if an artist puts AI masterpieces up for sale, what should the price be (只要敲击键盘上的回车键，人工智能画家就能创作出1000多幅原创艺术作品。但是，一幅批量生产的《蒙娜丽莎》版画的价值还不如列奥纳多·达·芬奇的真迹。为什么？稀缺性——只有一个原物。有人应该为这些东西买单吗 如果一位艺术家要出售人工智能杰作，价格应该是多少？)”可推知，作者想通过这个例子来说明AI艺术可能会给艺术作品的价值评定带来问题。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“But who made the artwork, the machine or its user And can the original artists sue for (控告) copyright violation Such questions complicate the merging of artificial intelligence and the art industry, while fueling arguments against recognizing AI-generated art as marketable artistic products.(但是是谁创造了艺术品，机器还是它的使用者？原创艺术家可以起诉侵犯版权吗？这些问题使人工智能和艺术产业的融合变得复杂，同时也加剧了反对将人工智能生成的艺术视为可销售的艺术产品的争论)”可推知，人工智能艺术使版权问题更加复杂。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“As AI art generators take the world by storm, some people wonder if their works should count as art at all. The technology is still developing and has some wrinkles to iron out (消除), which means there are indeed flaws to consider alongside the incredible artwork a good artificial intelligence can produce.(随着人工智能艺术生成器席卷全球，有些人怀疑他们的作品是否应该算作艺术。这项技术仍在发展中，还有一些问题需要解决，这意味着除了优秀的人工智能可以创造出令人难以置信的艺术品外，还需要考虑一些缺陷)”结合文章主要讨论了AI艺术创作是否是真的艺术的问题。故写作的目的就是为了辩论“AI艺术创作是真的艺术吗 ”。故选D。

考查动词时态。句意：自今年夏初以来，由于全球变暖和厄尔尼诺现象，包括北京、重庆、天津、河南和山东在内的中国许多省市都经历了或正在经历灼热的热浪。根据句意及时间状语since the start of this summer可知，此处可用现在完成时，表示过去发生的动作对现在产生影响；或用现在完成进行时，表示过去发生的动作持续不间断发生，并可能持续下去，主语为Many Chinese cities and provinces,，助动词用have。故填have experienced/have been experiencing。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：因此，人们在户外勇敢地面对炎热的天气时，经常会戴上防晒装备。see sb. fully equipped意为“看到某人全副武装”，此处为过去分词做宾补，故填equipped。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：与此同时，防晒产品的消费群体也逐渐多样化，从传统的女性消费者向男性和儿童消费者扩展，导致后者的防晒市场持续增长。分析句子结构可知，expand与逻辑主语the consumer groups构成主动关系，故用现在分词短语做状语，起到补充说明的作用。故填expanding。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意：与此同时，防晒产品的消费群体也逐渐多样化，从传统的女性消费者向男性和儿童消费者扩展，导致后者的防晒市场持续增长。根据上下文可知，此处应该用形容词continuous或continuing“持续的”修饰growth。故填continuous/continuing。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意：除了防晒产品，高温也促进了夏季清凉产品的销售。短语apart from表示“除……之外”之意。故填from。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：美团外卖是中国主要的外卖平台，在炎热的天气里，冰饮料、啤酒、冰淇淋、风扇和其他制冷产品的销量急剧增长。根据本句意思可知，美团是一个大型的食物运送平台，应用名词delivery，作定语修饰platform。故填delivery。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：美团外卖是中国主要的外卖平台，在炎热的天气里，冰饮料、啤酒、冰淇淋、风扇和其他制冷产品的销量急剧增长。表示“急剧增长”短语为a sharp increase。故填a。

【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：由于高温，避暑旅游也成为许多游客的热门选择，他们被全国各地一些凉爽的目的地所吸引，旅行社也推出了各种旅游产品来迎合这一日益增长的趋势。非限制性定语从句修饰先行词travelers，在从句作主语，指人。故填who。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：由于高温，避暑旅游也成为许多游客的热门选择，他们被全国各地一些凉爽的目的地所吸引，旅行社也推出了各种旅游产品来迎合这一日益增长的趋势。根据下文are可知此处应该用名词的复数形式travel agencies（旅行社）。故填agencies。

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。
“Why she let out my secret why she did that to me ” I vividly remembered that day when I was confused at the knowing looks which everyone gave me. That terrible experience was imprinted (铭刻) on my mind. I couldn’t forgive the person with whom I had shared my secret. She lost all my trust and friendship.
Five years back, Sally was a new addition in our class. I don’t know what but there was something sticky about her that attracted me towards her. She was the most friendly person I knew. We started as classmates but after a few months we were like best friends. We did homework together and dreamed of going to the same university one day. We hung out and went to the movies on weekends. That was a sweet time.
Nevertheless, I couldn’t expect such an enormous betrayal from her. I didn’t know what made me tell Sally about my personal life. I felt much regret to myself. She exaggerated (夸大) the matter, added her own spices to it and made it the hottest topic in school. It was like someone had stabbed a knife in my back. After she revealed my secret, everyone at school started laughing at me and gazing at me wherever I passed. I was like a pond in which someone had thrown a stone and it had been spilled up. It was the most embarrassing time I had gone through. Soon afterwards, I left school and shifted to another one, because I thought no one had the right to laugh at me. Sally called me many times but I didn’t answer. My heart was broken because the person whom I trusted most cheated me.
I made efforts to remove the scar from my heart. I started a new life, leaving all the bad memories behind, because they made me a person who often thought about the past experiences. Five years later, with the life going on, I made new friends and seldom thought about the past.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
But one day I met Anna in the market, my former classmate, who told me shocking news. Anna said that after I left school the gossip soon disappeared. Everyone in our class missed me. Because I left without saying goodbye, Sally was sad for a long time. And to my amazement, she told me that Sally was not the one who brought my secret to light. It was Mary who had a big mouth and always wanted to put her nose in other people’s matters. She happened to overhear my conversation with Sally. I was all at sea, feeling that the floor had slipped away beneath my feet. Anxious and regretful, I asked Anna for any contact with Sally.
I immediately called Sally in order to explain the misunderstanding. After getting through, I sincerely apologized to her. She said softly: “Never mind. We are good friends.” I was in tears, guilt and joy. At that moment, I wished it had not happened. I wished time could go back and I could overcome my mistake. From that I got a lesson in life that we should learn to trust our loved ones, because a little mistake can lead us to ruin what we should value. Trust is the foundational principle that holds friendship. Trust is also the easiest thing in the world to lose. We need to be open and trust our friends.
