Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Budha Magar,a double above-the-knee amputee(被截肢者),is working with an all-Nepali team to attempt to conquer the world’s highest mountain in May.Though he will be kitted out(装备) with special climbing legs,he will essentially be crawling up Qomolangma using his hands.
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
He estimates it will take him three times longer than able-bodied climbers to reach the summit(顶峰),though he is confident he will be faster than average on the ladder sections because of his superior upper body strength. Two climbers with below-knee amputations have reached Qomolangma’s summit before.But making the climb without knees is significantly harder.“In Nepali we say that being disabled is ‘like a burden of the earth’,” he explains. Magar hopes that he can raise awareness of just what is possible for a disabled person in the country of his birth,and hopefully inspire others further afield.

Ⅲ
He was born in a village of Nepal,and he left there at the age of 19.In April 2021,he had an accident.Suddenly legless,he spent at least 18 months depressed before a charity offered him the chance to go skydiving.“That was a big turning point for me,especially for my confidence.And when we landed on the ground I realized that even without legs we are able to do lots of things,” he says.
He began doing sports—golf,rock climbing,table tennis—before setting his sights on mountaineering.Before long,a childhood dream to climb Qomolangma resurfaced,and he began training in Qomolangma to make the climb in 2018.

Ⅲ
Now living in Canterbury,Budha Magar has raised more than ￡200,000 towards his attempt.If he can find another ￡100,000 of sponsorship,he will travel to Nepal in spring with his expedition leader Krishna Thapa.Success on the world’s highest mountain can never be guaranteed,but his expedition credo(信条) illustrates his mindset:no legs,no limits.

Have you ever lost something in a hard-to-reach space,like behind a couch or a cupboard Wouldn’t it be nice to just be able to squeeze in and out New innovations in the field of robotics will soon be able to make this nice idea into a reality.
In a study published on Jan.25 in the science journal Matter,engineers from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Carnegie Mellon University in the US have developed small robots that can quickly change back and forth from liquid to solid states.
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
According to the website Mashable,the scientists were inspired by sea cucumbers.They are able to change the stiffness (僵硬度) of their body or reduce the potential for physical damage.The robots in the study were made from gallium(镓),a soft metal with a low melting point of 30℃.The scientists then used changes in the magnetic field to control the magnetic particles inside the gallium material to provide heat.This heat then allowed the robots to change between solid and liquid states as well as to move around.
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
As the website Tech Xplore pointed out,other similar materials require external heat sources such as heat guns and electrical currents to induce a change of states;but now,the robots can use a heat source inside itself to change states independently.During the robots’ experimental trials,the scientists conducted a number of tests.These tests included having the robots melt into liquid and re-form to escape a prison-like cage.It can remove a foreign object from and deliver medicinal drugs to a model stomach.The robot is also able to build and repair hard-to-reach circuits.The robots’ ability to switch between states of matter allows for a number of possible uses and advancements in different fields,such as the biomedical and circuit assembly(组装) industries.
Ⅰ

Ⅲ
Still,in the words of senior author Carmel Majidi at Carnegie Mellon University,for now these are all just “proofs of concept” which show the abilities of these new kind of robots.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。来自香港中文大学和美国卡内基梅隆大学的工程师开发出了能够快速在液态和固态之间来回切换的小型机器人。

5.Why can the robots switch between solid and liquid
A.Because they consist of a unique metal and magnetic particles.
B.Because they can reduce the potential for physical damage.
C.Because they are able to change the stiffness of their body.
D.Because they have external heat sources any time anywhere.
√

I lost all my hair at age two due to a disease.All I wanted growing up was to fit in.I would look at all the beautiful girls and think,“If I had hair,I would be beautiful,too.”
I wore a wig(假发) and was teased for it.They would call me “bald(秃头)” or say,“Lindsay has no hair.” They were right,so I just let them bully me.And I felt like I deserved it.

Sports became my escape,and I was fortunate to have athletic ability.I would race home every day and play basketball in my driveway for hours.I would pretend to make the game-winning shot.The crowd would go wild.I never thought about my bald head during these moments,but rather who I wanted to become and what I wanted to accomplish.
I started to gain recognition from others.I became known as a girl who was good at basketball,not just as the girl who didn’t have hair.I was still bullied,but it began to bother me less because I had another distraction.I put all my time and energy into basketball and becoming the best player I could be.

In my senior year of college,I wanted to run the marathon in my town to check this athletic endeavor off my wish list.I barely trained and thought it was just running.I was wrong in countless ways.
I had no idea at the time that this 26.2-mile run would change my life and attitude in more ways than I could have imagined.During that run,something clicked inside me.I felt strong,fierce,and truly like Superwoman.I had never felt this way before,not even during the other sporting games I had played in.I will never forget the feeling of crossing the finish line,all the emotions I felt, and the way everyone celebrated me.I fell in love with the sport and knew I wanted to become a runner.

I began running marathons all over the country.The more I ran,the stronger and more confident I felt.I slowly started to talk about my hair to close friends and even went out walking without my wig.

Two weeks later,I ran my first marathon,bald. All my friends and classmates went to cheer me up.Though there was a little difference between me and other competitors,who were also confused why I was bold,I didn’t think that we had any difference.I just spared no effort to run and adjust my breath.With confidence,I crossed the finish line first.All the audience cheered loudly for me.My parents were proud of me as well.(共32张PPT)

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I have been addicted to books since I was born.I can’t remember a time when I didn’t read:It was almost like breathing to me.My fictional worlds took me to all the places I needed to go and I experienced everything indirectly.
My father was in the military service when I was a child,so we moved every two years,but we insisted on going to bookshops wherever we lived.He would take me to the nearest bookshop every Saturday morning and wait patiently while I browsed(随便看看) —after all,the choosing of a new book is something that cannot be rushed.And so started my lifelong love affair with bookshops.
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Ⅳ
One day I was thinking up the setting for How to Find Love in a tiny bookshop when a feeling of calm,contentment,and excitement came over me.It was a feeling of perfect happiness.That was my light bulb moment:My book would be set in a bookshop,and I could explore what books meant to each of my characters and how they had shaped their lives.
The book isn’t just about discovering romantic love.It’s about finding the love of books:something that can sustain you throughout your life,and provide escape,entertainment,education,comfort,wonder.And,as I learned from my own father,it’s a love you can share with everyone.There is nothing more satisfying than sharing something you have read with someone else,knowing they will love it as much as you do.
Ⅰ

Ⅳ
But if we are to keep bookshops alive,we need to use them,and to encourage the next generation to make them apart of their life and view bookshops as a treat,a pleasure,an adventure,a gateway,so they become something we can’t live without.Thus my challenge to you,fellow readers,is to go to your local bookshops as often as possible and come out with something that might change your life.

About a decade ago,Lawson was at a beach in Virginia watching his kids build castles right next to the waves.
“I kept trying to get them to come back because I thought it was a terrible idea,” he remarked.He wanted them to build their sandcastles closer to the dunes(沙丘).But they found it more exciting to build right where the waves hit, seeing their sandcastles get destroyed,and then rebuilding them with whatever debris(残骸) washed up from the ocean.“It seemed so symbolic, somehow,of how life works more than just building your perfect sandcastles,” said Lawson. When he decided to turn that sunny day into a children’s book,the idea came to just use pictures.“It seemed like it would work beautifully without words,” he said.

A Day for Sandcastles is illustrated by Qin Leng.It’s the second wordless picture book for Lawson and Leng since 2021’s Over the Shop.Leng’s illustrations stay pretty true to real life.Three siblings spend the day building sandcastles and watching them get destroyed by a flying hat.“To me it’s a celebration of childhood and the simple joys of life.These are the things I like to capture(捕捉),” said Leng.
Leng spent part of her childhood in France,and she was inspired by European comic books.“What I love to do when I illustrate a picture book is add side stories to the main storyline.I always think about the readers and the longevity(持久) of the book,and I want them to be able to discover something new every time they revisit the book,” Leng explained.

At the end of the day,the sleepy-eyed kids pile into the bus that will take them home.“Those last pages are some of my favorite.They capture that feeling like at the end of the day on the beach,when it’s getting dark and you feel completely exhausted,” Lawson said.It must be a universal childhood feeling:happy with sand,sticky from the salt,hot from the sun,and ready to fall asleep the moment you get into the car.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章简单介绍了中国古诗的一些相关情况。
1.written 考查非谓语动词。句意:中国古典诗歌是用文言文创作的中国传统诗歌,具有一定的传统形式,与特定的历史时期有密切的联系,如唐代诗歌。分析句子结构可知write与poetry之间是动宾关系,故用过去分词作后置定语。故填written。
2.periods 考查名词的数。period是可数名词,上文没有冠词表示数量大于1,应用复数形式。故填periods。
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Ⅳ
3.is documented 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:它的存在至少早在《诗经》出版时就有记载。document在此表示“记录,记载”,是及物动词,document与existence之间是动宾关系,故用被动语态,且此处表示客观事实,要用一般现在时的被动语态,主语为existence,谓语用第三人称单数形式。故填is documented。
4.Various 考查形容词。句意:存在各种形式和流派的组合。设空处修饰名词combinations,故填形容词。首字母大写。故填Various。
5.arose 考查动词的时态。句意:其中许多或大部分出现在唐末。arise意为“产生,出现”,是不及物动词,根据时间状语at the end of the Tang Dynasty可知,本句用一般过去时。故填arose。
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Ⅳ
6.actively 考查副词。句意:中国古典诗歌的使用和发展一直持续到五四运动爆发的1919年,直到今天仍在发展。修饰谓语动词continued,故用副词。故填actively。
7.when 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导定语从句,先行词是the year of 1919,空处在从句中作时间状语,故填when。
8.a 考查冠词。句意:在这2500年或多或少持续发展的时期里,诗歌创作表现出极大的多样性,既按主要历史时期划分,也按朝代划分。a great deal of意为“大量的,许多”,是固定搭配,修饰不可数名词,故填a。
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Ⅳ
9.its 考查代词。句意:在中国古典诗歌的关键方面,另一个是它与中国其他艺术形式的密切联系,如中国画和中国书法。设空处指代对象是Classical Chinese poetry,且表示“……的”,故填 its。
10.on/upon 考查介词。句意:中国古典诗歌已被证明对世界诗歌有很大的影响。influence on/upon意为“对……的影响”。故填on/upon。

On February 20th,the science fiction magazine Clarkesworld was forced to stop accepting any new articles from writers after it was flooded with AI-written stories.
“By the time we closed on the 20th,we had received 500 human-written stories and 700 AI-written ones,” said editor-in-chief Neil Clarke.“It was increasing at such a speed that we figured that by the end of the month,we would have doubled the number of articles we normally have.The rate had been growing from previous months,and we were concerned that we had to do something to stop it.”

Worries about AI misuse have frequently appeared in headlines recently, particularly since the launch of ChatGPT in November,2022,which can not only answer a broad range of questions,but also create original poems and stories.

“You know,our mascot(吉祥物) is a robot.So we see the irony,” he said. “But the thing is that science fiction is often intended to give a warning to people.We don’t celebrate technology just because it exists.We want to make sure that we’re using it right.And there are some significant legal and moral issues around this technology that we’re not ready to accept.”
Clarke said the magazine didn’t know how to deal with the issue,and part of the motivation to speak out was in the hope of finding some solutions.He also said the quality of the AI-written stories was very poor.

Jack wondered why people had stopped sharing and liking his videos, “Maybe my audience is tired of watching me work out in the gym,” he thought, determined to change the location of his videos.
The following day,Jack went to the neighborhood park and began filming while walking on the track.“Hi,guys! How about shaking things up a little I’m to work out in the park today!” he said excitedly,looking into the camera lens(镜头).
“Let’s look for a good spot to warm up,” he said as he walked towards a bench(长椅),on which sat an elderly lady.Jack thought the bench was the perfect place to film his video because of the light.

He put his tripod stand(三脚架) on the bench and set the camera,but he felt like he needed the full bench.He wanted to place his camera where the lady sat,so he gestured to her to move,but the woman didn’t seem to understand.
“Get out of my way!” he yelled.“Can’t you see I’m filming a video You old fool!” Looking him up and down in surprise,the old lady didn’t argue over his disrespectful attitude and quietly walked towards another bench.
Jack set his camera up,pressed the record button and waved at his followers,ready to demonstrate exercises.Suddenly,he tripped on a loose stone, lost balance and fell down,his head striking the bench and bleeding heavily.

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure is absolutely the case in Türkiye where garbage collectors started collecting books that have been thrown away and ended up opening a library.
Ⅰ

Ⅳ
It started when garbage man Durson Ipek found a bag of abandoned books when he was working and then it snowballed from there.Ipek and other garbage men started gathering the books they found on the streets that were ready for landfills(垃圾填埋地) and as their collection started to grow,so did word of mouth.Soon,local residents started donating books directly.The library was initially available only to the garbage employees and their families to use but as the collection grew,so did public interest and the library was opened to the public in 2017.
Ⅰ

“On the one hand,there were those who were leaving these books on the streets.On the other hand,others were looking for these books,” Ankaya mayor Alper Tasdelen told CNN.“We started to discuss the idea of creating a library from these books.When everyone supported it,this project happened.”
All the books that are found are sorted and checked for condition.If they pass,they go on the shelves.Today,the library has over 6,000 books that range from fiction to nonfiction and there’s a very popular children’s section that even has a collection of comic books.An entire section is devoted to scientific research and there are also books available in English and French.The collection has grown so large that the library loans books to schools and educational programs.
Ⅰ

“Village school teachers from all over Türkiye are requesting books,” Tasdelen told CNN.The government has to hire a full-time employee to manage the library.
This library is incredibly popular.It is frequently filled with the children of the city’s workers and students from nearby schools.There is a waiting room set up for readers and chess boards for the people who visit the library.You can even enjoy a cup of tea in the waiting room.

√
词义猜测题。根据画线单词所在句中的“It started when garbage man Durson Ipek found a bag of abandoned books”可知,刚开始Durson Ipek只是发现了一袋被丢弃的书;再结合第二段第二句中的“as their collection started to grow,so did word of mouth”可知,图书馆收藏的书越来越多,并且口碑也越来越好。由此可以推断出,画线单词“snowballed”应指图书馆的快速发展。故选C项。
Ⅰ

2.What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the library
A.Its great popularity.
B.Its potential significance.
C.Its huge collection of books.

If you visited a big aquarium such as Sea World or the Miami Seaquarium a decade ago,performances by tiger whales were probably a centerpiece of the visiting experience.However,animal advocates have pushed to end the harmful practice of keeping these enormous whales locked up in small pools and forcing them to perform for audiences.Now the good news is emerging from this continuing movement Lolita,one tiger whale living in the Miami Seaquarium,may soon be released to the Salish Sea where her mother lives.
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Ⅳ
Lolita’s possible homecoming is a longtime coming.The enormous animal was caught in 1970 in the Salish Sea,a body of water off the coast of Washington,which is home to tiger whales.Until now she has spent the past 52 years in captivity in Miami.Her tank is considered the smallest among those of captive whales in America.She has been forced to perform for crowds for decades.This has resulted in injuries.She has hit her head while performing “fast swims”,and her blood work has been abnormal.
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Ⅳ
Whales in captivity can suffer severe health issues.Lolita outlived her tank-mate Hugo,who died of aneurism(动脉瘤) caused by hitting his head on the aquarium walls.“Lolita’s lucky,” said Howard Garrett,a whale researcher and activist.“It’s against all odds that she is still alive.I think it is her mental health that keeps her physical health in good shape.She is a complete miracle in her ability to stay healthy.”
Ⅰ
Ⅱ
Ⅲ
Ⅳ
According to the United States,Department of Agriculture,Lolita may not be getting enough food and water.This only adds to the list of health concerns which can appear in captivity.Activists who have been pushing for decades may at last see Lolita return to the Salish Sea,where her mother,a 93-year-old tiger whale known as “Ocean Sun”,leads a pod.Returning these magnificent creatures to their natural habitat is a humane solution advocated for by the likes of the International Marine Mammal Project.

A.Activists have succeeded in accomplishing the project.

√
主旨大意题。根据第一段内容并纵观全文可知,本文主要讲述了一只生活在迈阿密海洋馆的虎鲸洛丽塔,可能很快就会被释放到她母亲生活的萨利希海,所以D项“Lolita May Soon Go Free from Captivity(洛丽塔可能很快就会从囚禁中解脱出来)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。

3.F 由小标题“Be aware about signposting”以及下文“Before using them...logic and make it look more coherent.”可知,本段的建议是使用好路标词,使文章具有逻辑性和连贯性;F项“Signposts refer to linking words or phrases associating one paragraph with some others”解释了什么是路标词,选项中的“Signposts”切合小标题中的“signposting”;下文“but their use must also be known carefully”与选项构成转折关系,指出路标词虽然起到衔接作用,但是必须仔细了解路标词的用法,故选F项。

4.B 分析文章结构可知,设空处为小标题;由下文内容可知本段阐述的是衔接词的使用要根据表达的内容仔细选择,不是随心所欲的;B项“Pick words carefully”能够概括本段主旨,适合作为本段小标题。
5.D 上文“If you wish to see how your essay stands,make a draft and read it thoroughly.”建议先拟一份草稿,通读一下;D项“That way,you will be able to find your own mistakes and correct them.”承接上文,阐述了先打草稿的原因与益处,选项中的“That way”指代上文中的“make a draft and read it thoroughly”。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了出土的一个西汉时期的古董。
1.as 考查介词。be acknowledged as...被公认为……。故填as。
2.holding 考查非谓语动词。句子的谓语是bears,设空处需填非谓语动词作定语,girl和hold为逻辑上的主谓关系,需填现在分词形式。故填holding。
3.which 考查定语从句。设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词right hand指物,在定语从句中作主语,故填which。
4.Remarkably 考查副词。设空处作状语,修饰整个句子,需用副词形式,句首字母需大写。故填Remarkably。

Dear fellow students,
Have you been using ChatGPT I have been using it since it was released. As a fan of it,I interact with it a lot,seeking better ideas,different solutions and various learning materials.Frankly speaking,ChatGPT,this powerful and interesting chatbot,makes for my study.It provides support,guidance and even motivation,enabling me to work autonomously and efficiently.But however intelligent ChatGPT is,it is just a tool developed to serve us.As students,we should never depend too much on it,let alone be replaced or dominated by it in our study.We should use it wisely.Hopefully,we all will embrace such AI technology as ChatGPT,use them properly and get the most out of them.
That’s all.Thank you!
