At age four, seeing my brother playing baseball, I wanted it so much. But back then, girls didn’t play sports.
At thirty, I read a notice in my local paper: “Women’s Baseball League opens soon. Anyone interested, sign up at the center.” I thought of reasons I couldn’t play, but that idea stuck in my head. Finally, I signed up. On Monday, heart pounding, I walked through women of all ages practicing and found my team. They were all high-school girls. The coach had put together top athletes for his team, and he didn’t want some old lady messing things up.
That first day, he had me run around the bases over and over. The next morning, I could barely stand, but I showed up to play the next week. The coach had no idea how determined I was. Every week I showed up for practice. During the last game of the season, the coach finally told me to go to center field. The coach looked surprised at my performance.
After the game, a young man asked if I’d like to play for his team. He’d seen the way I moved like an athlete on the field. The next day, knowing I was going to play, I went to the sporting goods store to buy a glove. “How old is your boy ” asked the salesman. That took me back to when people assumed baseball was for boys. “It’s for me,” I said, without trying to hide my excitement.
Playing for my new team began a nine-year wonder. My teammates were the most powerful and gifted players in the league. They loved the game and worked hard at getting better. I played with them and drew inspiration from them, until I retired at forty. Playing the game with these women enriched my life and the lives of my family. To this day, memories of those years gladden all our hearts.
4. What thought remained in the author’s mind at the notice
A. Whether she could play with people of different ages.

D. How she could play baseball with her children to attend.

C. She could put the mess back in order. D. She could show up regularly.

D. She stayed in the team till the coach retired.

Though she has not released any new songs, Stefanie Sun has been dominating trending lists on the social media recently. The reason for this is a little strange, as there are AI versions of Sun’s songs topping the charts.
The popular tunes, which see Sun’s voice digitally inserted (嵌入) in place of the original singer for songs like Jay Chou’s Hair Like Snow, which have over 1 million views online, have resulted in some fantastic experiences for music fans.
Some fans have welcomed the AI-generated songs, saying they offer an option for people with different tastes in music. Sun hosted several online concerts. More than 240 million people watched her performances in a one-hour online concert in 2022. Though Sun last week appeared at a music festival, fans are far from satisfied as she only sang a couple of songs. Therefore, the recent AI-generated music featuring her voice has provided some comfort for fans that miss her performances.
But others have also raised concerns about copyright (版权) problems. In recent years, there have been many cases of artists being charged for sampling other artists’ work without permission. With the rise of AI-generated music, the issue is becoming more complicated. Another issue raised is its potential impact on lesser-known artists. In the highly competitive music industry, many talented artists struggle to get their music heard. The rise of AI-generated music featuring popular artists could further make it even harder for them to gain a place in the industry.
Despite these concerns, there’s no denying the popularity of the AI-generated music featuring Sun’s voice. Fans have praised the technology for its ability to create a diverse range of music, and for its ability to bring Sun’s voice back. The AI-generated music has also made it possible to honor singers who had passed away.
AI technology has already been used to create hit songs, and it’s likely that we’ll see even more AI-generated music in the future, which will continue to shape the future of the music industry.
8. What is special about the new hits
A. They were created by AI.
B. They were released on the Internet.
C. They were covered by talented artists.
D. They combined the voice of different singers.
9. What contributes to the popularity of AI version of Sun
A. Fans prefer online songs to live ones.
B. A number of Sun’s fans miss her voice.
C. Fans are dissatisfied with Sun’s new songs.
D. Sun failed to attend the music festival recently.
10. What is the main concern of people on AI-generated music
A. More singers will copyright their songs in the future.
B. It’s easier for talented singers to earn their reputation.
C. More tough cases will appear for copyright issues.
D. The singers will be charged for creating AI music.
11. What is the author’s attitude to the future of AI-generated music
A. Uncertain. B. Pessimistic. C. Cautious. D. Confident.
D
When Lake Palcacocha, a glacial (冰山的) lake in Peru, suddenly burst in 1941, releasing 8 to 10 million cubic meters of water, the resulting flood killed an estimated 6,000 people, and the water destroyed about a third of the town Huaraz 23 kilometers away. “That town has been rebuilt in the same location, and now it’s more populous. That’s particularly scary,” says Robinson, a disaster risk specialist in New Zealand. This example shows how the danger from such glacial lake outburst floods (or GLOFs) isn’t just a physical disaster, but varies with the local population level and the availability of government support in the region. Robinson and his colleagues have used satellite data to identify 1,089 river basins containing glacial lakes globally. As the team reported in Nature Communications, they found that about 15 million people worldwide are exposed to potential GLOF impacts.
The high mountain regions of the Himalayas are well known for GLOFs, but the team found similar dangers in the Andes, although there are relatively fewer studies of that region. And then there’s Bhutan, where the number of people who would be affected by a GLOF is low compared with larger countries, but it’s a high percentage of the population. “The way to think about that is, if you have a GLOF, how many people have you got to respond In Bhutan, you could have a single GLOF that affects a large proportion of the country,” Robinson says.
GLOFs are tightly linked to climate change. But as glaciers recede, growing populations move closer to them. Restricting climate change will help slow the growth of glacial lakes, but each location varies in geology and politics, requiring a different combination of early warning systems, engineering solutions, and land-use planning. “There’s no single solution, and what is appropriate in one location may not work in another,” Robinson says. His team’s goal is to help focus research efforts on the most potentially dangerous glacial lakes, and to show that those lakes won’t burst.
12. What does Robinson think especially scary
A. A glacial lake will be a popular destination.
B. Government support worsens GLOF effects.
C. Huaraz has been rebuilt in its original place.
D. The burst of Lake Palcacocha can’t be predicted.
13. How does Bhutan differ from larger countries in case of a GLOF burst
A. A large percentage of the population will be affected.
B. The government is ready to make timely response to it.
C. Many studies and predictions have been made about it.
D. People are usually relocated in a safe place after a burst.
14. What does the underlined word “recede” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Continue. B. Decrease. C. Clear. D. Accumulate.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. GLOFs Form a Threat to Human Life
B. Men React Actively to GLOF Bursts
C. Glacial Lakes Face Mixed Solutions
D. Researchers Hold Back GLOF Bursts

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。
Sam Meadows was on the sofa watching the wrestle. This was how he spent most of his evenings. When he had finished watching that week’s shows he would watch a DVD of a classic main event. His focus on the action on screen was disturbed when his mobile phone rang. He paused the television. On the screen the wrestler was frozen mid-air, drop-kicking his opponent. Sam’s friend Phil was on the phone, a boy he’d known for over ten years and who was counted as one of his closest friends.
They made the usual football chat. Sam didn’t really care for football, but kept up the pretence (假装). He told nobody of his lack of interest in the so-called beautiful game. He pretended to be into football to be one of the boys. Sam would keep an eye on the score, and he would even join his mates in the pub to watch important football matches.
Sam had never told anyone his addiction with wrestling. His friends had progressed and grown out of wrestling, gone on from sports-entertainment to so-called real sports like football. By the time he’d left high school, he had learned not to mention his interest in wrestling. To mention his interest in pro-wrestling would bring ridicule (嘲笑). Even now, in his late twenties, if any of his friends or family were to discover his interest, he would be laughed at mercilessly. They would tell him to grow up, and ask if he was eight years old or twenty-eight. When buying wrestling DVDs he would feel his cheeks redden as he approached the check-out. Did the person on the counter know the DVD was for him not a gift for a young niece or nephew
注意：
1. 续写词数应150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Around half an hour after he hung up the phone, Sam was shocked by a knock at the door.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Phil turned on the television, and it came back on to the same channel it had been on.

At age four, seeing my brother playing baseball, I wanted it so much. But back then, girls didn’t play sports.
At thirty, I read a notice in my local paper: “Women’s Baseball League opens soon. Anyone interested, sign up at the center.” I thought of reasons I couldn’t play, but that idea stuck in my head. Finally, I signed up. On Monday, heart pounding, I walked through women of all ages practicing and found my team. They were all high-school girls. The coach had put together top athletes for his team, and he didn’t want some old lady messing things up.
That first day, he had me run around the bases over and over. The next morning, I could barely stand, but I showed up to play the next week. The coach had no idea how determined I was. Every week I showed up for practice. During the last game of the season, the coach finally told me to go to center field. The coach looked surprised at my performance.
After the game, a young man asked if I’d like to play for his team. He’d seen the way I moved like an athlete on the field. The next day, knowing I was going to play, I went to the sporting goods store to buy a glove. “How old is your boy ” asked the salesman. That took me back to when people assumed baseball was for boys. “It’s for me,” I said, without trying to hide my excitement.
Playing for my new team began a nine-year wonder. My teammates were the most powerful and gifted players in the league. They loved the game and worked hard at getting better. I played with them and drew inspiration from them, until I retired at forty. Playing the game with these women enriched my life and the lives of my family. To this day, memories of those years gladden all our hearts.

Though she has not released any new songs, Stefanie Sun has been dominating trending lists on the social media recently. The reason for this is a little strange, as there are AI versions of Sun’s songs topping the charts.
The popular tunes, which see Sun’s voice digitally inserted (嵌入) in place of the original singer for songs like Jay Chou’s Hair Like Snow, which have over 1 million views online, have resulted in some fantastic experiences for music fans.
Some fans have welcomed the AI-generated songs, saying they offer an option for people with different tastes in music. Sun hosted several online concerts. More than 240 million people watched her performances in a one-hour online concert in 2022. Though Sun last week appeared at a music festival, fans are far from satisfied as she only sang a couple of songs. Therefore, the recent AI-generated music featuring her voice has provided some comfort for fans that miss her performances.
But others have also raised concerns about copyright (版权) problems. In recent years, there have been many cases of artists being charged for sampling other artists’ work without permission. With the rise of AI-generated music, the issue is becoming more complicated. Another issue raised is its potential impact on lesser-known artists. In the highly competitive music industry, many talented artists struggle to get their music heard. The rise of AI-generated music featuring popular artists could further make it even harder for them to gain a place in the industry.
Despite these concerns, there’s no denying the popularity of the AI-generated music featuring Sun’s voice. Fans have praised the technology for its ability to create a diverse range of music, and for its ability to bring Sun’s voice back. The AI-generated music has also made it possible to honor singers who had passed away.
AI technology has already been used to create hit songs, and it’s likely that we’ll see even more AI-generated music in the future, which will continue to shape the future of the music industry.
8. What is special about the new hits
A. They were created by AI.
B. They were released on the Internet.
C. They were covered by talented artists.
D. They combined the voice of different singers.
9. What contributes to the popularity of AI version of Sun
A. Fans prefer online songs to live ones.
B. A number of Sun’s fans miss her voice.
C. Fans are dissatisfied with Sun’s new songs.
D. Sun failed to attend the music festival recently.
10. What is the main concern of people on AI-generated music
A. More singers will copyright their songs in the future.
B. It’s easier for talented singers to earn their reputation.
C More tough cases will appear for copyright issues.
D. The singers will be charged for creating AI music.
11. What is the author’s attitude to the future of AI-generated music
A. Uncertain. B. Pessimistic. C. Cautious. D. Confident.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D

【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒第二段“Despite these concerns, there’s no denying the popularity of the AI-generated music featuring Sun’s voice. Fans have praised the technology for its ability to create a diverse range of music, and for its ability to bring Sun’s voice back. The AI-generated music has also made it possible to honor singers who had passed away.(尽管存在这些担忧，但不可否认的是，以孙的声音为特色的人工智能音乐很受欢迎。歌迷们称赞这项技术能够创造出各种各样的音乐，并能让孙的声音重现。人工智能制作的音乐还可以纪念去世的歌手。)”和最后一段“AI technology has already been used to create hit songs, and it’s likely that we’ll see even more AI-generated music in the future, which will continue to shape the future of the music industry.(人工智能技术已经被用于创作热门歌曲，未来我们很可能会看到更多人工智能创作的音乐，这将继续塑造音乐产业的未来。)”可知，作者对人工智能音乐的未来很有信心。故选D。

When Lake Palcacocha, a glacial (冰山的) lake in Peru, suddenly burst in 1941, releasing 8 to 10 million cubic meters of water, the resulting flood killed an estimated 6,000 people, and the water destroyed about a third of the town Huaraz 23 kilometers away. “That town has been rebuilt in the same location, and now it’s more populous. That’s particularly scary,” says Robinson, a disaster risk specialist in New Zealand. This example shows how the danger from such glacial lake outburst floods (or GLOFs) isn’t just a physical disaster, but varies with the local population level and the availability of government support in the region. Robinson and his colleagues have used satellite data to identify 1,089 river basins containing glacial lakes globally. As the team reported in Nature Communications, they found that about 15 million people worldwide are exposed to potential GLOF impacts.
The high mountain regions of the Himalayas are well known for GLOFs, but the team found similar dangers in the Andes, although there are relatively fewer studies of that region. And then there’s Bhutan, where the number of people who would be affected by a GLOF is low compared with larger countries, but it’s a high percentage of the population. “The way to think about that is, if you have a GLOF, how many people have you got to respond In Bhutan, you could have a single GLOF that affects a large proportion of the country,” Robinson says.
GLOFs are tightly linked to climate change. But as glaciers recede, growing populations move closer to them. Restricting climate change will help slow the growth of glacial lakes, but each location varies in geology and politics, requiring a different combination of early warning systems, engineering solutions, and land-use planning. “There’s no single solution, and what is appropriate in one location may not work in another,” Robinson says. His team’s goal is to help focus research efforts on the most potentially dangerous glacial lakes, and to show that those lakes won’t burst.
12. What does Robinson think especially scary
A. A glacial lake will be a popular destination.
B. Government support worsens GLOF effects.
C. Huaraz has been rebuilt in its original place.
D. The burst of Lake Palcacocha can’t be predicted.
13. How does Bhutan differ from larger countries in case of a GLOF burst
A. A large percentage of the population will be affected.
B. The government is ready to make timely response to it.
C. Many studies and predictions have been made about it.
D. People are usually relocated in a safe place after a burst.
14. What does the underlined word “recede” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Continue. B. Decrease. C. Clear. D. Accumulate.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. GLOFs Form a Threat to Human Life
B. Men React Actively to GLOF Bursts
C. Glacial Lakes Face Mixed Solutions
D. Researchers Hold Back GLOF Bursts
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究人员发现，GLOF，即冰川湖溃决洪水，对人类生命造成很大威胁。文章对此进行了介绍。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“When Lake Palcacocha, a glacial (冰山的) lake in Peru, suddenly burst in 1941, releasing 8 to 10 million cubic meters of water, the resulting flood killed an estimated 6,000 people, and the water destroyed about a third of the town Huaraz 23 kilometers away.(1941年，秘鲁的冰川湖帕尔卡科查湖突然决堤，释放出800万至1000万立方米的水，由此产生的洪水造成约6000人死亡，洪水摧毁了23公里外的瓦拉斯镇约三分之一的土地。)”和第二句中的“That town has been rebuilt in the same location, and now it’s more populous. That’s particularly scary(那个城镇在同一地点重建，现在人口更多了。这特别可怕)”可知，瓦拉斯在原来的地方重建这一点让罗宾逊觉得很可怕。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“And then there’s Bhutan, where the number of people who would be affected by a GLOF is low compared with larger countries, but it’s a high percentage of the population.(然后是不丹，与大国相比，不丹受GLOF影响人数较少，但占人口的比例很高。)”可知，不丹与比较大的国家相比，如果GLOF爆发受影响的人数占人口的比例很高。故选A。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段第二句中的“growing populations move closer to them(不断增长的人口向它们靠近)”和第三句中的“Restricting climate change will help slow the growth of glacial lakes(限制气候变化将有助于减缓冰川湖的增长)”可知，此处是指随着冰川消退，所以recede意为“减少，消退”。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“As the team reported in Nature Communications, they found that about 15 million people worldwide are exposed to potential GLOF impacts.(正如研究小组在《自然通讯》上报告的那样，他们发现全球约有1500万人受到潜在的GLOF影响。)”可知，文章主要是讲GLOF对人类生命构成威胁。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了郭万刚和他的同事们在八步沙植树治沙的事迹。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：位于腾格里沙漠南缘的八步沙，几代人以来一直受到沙尘暴的困扰，沙尘暴经常掩埋农田，导致庄稼无收。非限制性定语从句修饰先行词Babusha，先行词指物，关系词替代先行词在从句中作主语，用关系代词which，故填which。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意：今天，由于郭万刚和他的同事们种植了长10公里、宽8公里的绿化带，沙漠的南下已经停止了。短语in length表示“长度为……”。故填length。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：今天，由于郭万刚和他的同事们种植了长10公里、宽8公里的绿化带，沙漠的南下已经停止了。分析句子结构可知plant与逻辑主语a green belt构成被动关系，plant用过去分词形式作定语。故填planted。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：郭万刚的父亲是1981年开始在八步沙种树的六个人之一，以防止他们的土地被埋葬。分析句子结构可知prevent在句中作目的状语，应用不定式形式。故填to prevent。
【40题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：1983年，由于健康状况不佳，郭万刚的父亲被迫停止了种树，郭万刚辞去了在城里的工作，跟随父亲的脚步，因为他不想看到树木死去。从句主语he与谓语动词force构成被动关系，根据后文in 1983可知发生在过去，用一般过去时的被动语态，主语为he，谓语用单数。故填was forced。
【41题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：1993年一场致命的沙尘暴夺去了23名学生的生命，坚定了他的决心，使他成为一名顽强的战士，不愿放弃战斗。根据上文数词23可知，可数名词life应用复数形式。故填lives。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：1993年一场致命的沙尘暴夺去了23名学生的生命，坚定了他的决心，使他成为一名顽强的战士，不愿放弃战斗。此处soldier为泛指，且stubborn是发音以辅音音素开头的单词，用不定冠词a。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查代词。句意：“我问自己，如果我们不能保护我们的农田和我们的孩子，我们怎么能继续下去？”郭万刚回忆道。此处指问“我自己”应用反身代词myself。故填myself。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：年复一年，郭万刚和他的同事们每年春天和秋天都继续种树，注意防火，冬天修剪树木。分析句子结构可知watch与逻辑主语Guo and his colleagues构成主动关系，该空用现在分词形式作状语。故填watching。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意：八步沙的植被覆盖率从不到3%增加到70%，沙漠不再向南移动。短语from…to…表示“从……到……”。故填from。

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。
Sam Meadows was on the sofa watching the wrestle. This was how he spent most of his evenings. When he had finished watching that week’s shows he would watch a DVD of a classic main event. His focus on the action on screen was disturbed when his mobile phone rang. He paused the television. On the screen the wrestler was frozen mid-air, drop-kicking his opponent. Sam’s friend Phil was on the phone, a boy he’d known for over ten years and who was counted as one of his closest friends.
They made the usual football chat. Sam didn’t really care for football, but kept up the pretence (假装). He told nobody of his lack of interest in the so-called beautiful game. He pretended to be into football to be one of the boys. Sam would keep an eye on the score, and he would even join his mates in the pub to watch important football matches.
Sam had never told anyone his addiction with wrestling. His friends had progressed and grown out of wrestling, gone on from sports-entertainment to so-called real sports like football. By the time he’d left high school, he had learned not to mention his interest in wrestling. To mention his interest in pro-wrestling would bring ridicule (嘲笑). Even now, in his late twenties, if any of his friends or family were to discover his interest, he would be laughed at mercilessly. They would tell him to grow up, and ask if he was eight years old or twenty-eight. When buying wrestling DVDs he would feel his cheeks redden as he approached the check-out. Did the person on the counter know the DVD was for him not a gift for a young niece or nephew

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version：
Around half an hour after he hung up the phone, Sam was shocked by a knock at the door. He was puzzled as to who it could be. He switched off the TV set and went to answer the door. His mate Phil was standing on the doorstep. He rubbed his arms to show how cold it was outside. “Thought you might fancy a bit of company, mate ” “Sure, said Sam. He showed Phil through to the living room. Once they were both seated on the sofa, Phil glanced at the screen and wondered, “Why’s the TV switched off ”
Phil turned on the television, and it came back on to the same channel it had been on. On the screen two wrestlers were fighting it out. “Wrestling, that’s interesting!” said Phil, who showed an instant interest. However, Sam’s cheeks burned red in embarrassment at being caught watching wrestling. A s he was about to declare that he had no idea why his TV box had landed on that particular channel, Phil raised his head, looked into Sam's eyes and added, “You know what, I really miss the days when we watched wrestling together.” Hearing this, Sam’s tension was replaced by a wave of excitement. He rushed to the drawer, pulled out a DVD and showed it to Phil, asking, “Is this your favorite Maybe we could bring the old days back again.”
