Saturday finally came. And I was looking at my watch very often.
As the sun began to set, Henry had two visitors, Tom and Joe. They were two miners and were Henry’s friends. They carried guitars and brought flowers and a bottle of whiskey. They put the flowers in vases and began to play some fast and lively songs.
That night, they kept giving Henry glasses of whiskey, which they made him drink. When I reached for one of the two glasses left on the table, Tom stopped my arm. “Drop that glass and take the other one!” he whispered. He gave the remaining glass of whiskey to Henry just as the clock began to strike midnight.
Henry emptied the glass. His face grew whiter and whiter. “Boys,” he said, “I am feeling sick. I want to lie down.”
Henry was asleep almost before the words were out of his mouth.
In a moment, his two friends had picked him up and carried him into the bedroom. They fastened the door and came back. They seemed to be getting ready to leave. So I said, “Please don’t go gentlemen. She is coming back and will not know me. I am a stranger to her.”
They looked at each other. “Henry’s wife has been dead for nineteen years.” Tom said.
“Dead ” I whispered.
“Dead or worse.” he said.
“She went to see her parents about six months after she got married. On her way back, on a Saturday evening in June, when she was almost here, the Indians captured her. No one ever saw her again. Henry lost his mind. He thinks she is still alive. When June comes, he thinks she has gone on her trip to see her parents. Then he begins to wait for her to come back.”
“On the Saturday night she is supposed to come home, we come here to be with him. We put a sleeping drug in his drink so he will sleep through the night. Then he is all right for another year.”
Joe picked up his ha t and his guitar. “We have done this every June for nineteen years.” he said. He opened the door of the pretty little house and then they disappeared into the darkness.

“If you look up in the sky, you probably see, at some point, a plane. And behind that plane are white lines. And that’s what we call contrails(航迹云).” said Mare Stettler, an Imperial College London engineer. It’s believed that planes account for about 3 percent of the climate-changing carbon dioxide release we add to the atmosphere and are warming the planet in another way.
Contrails are made up of ice crystals(冰晶) that form when plane engines release exhaust that hits the cold air. The ice crystals reflect incoming light from the sun back into space, which has a cooling effect on the atmosphere. But contrails also stop heat coming up from the ground from escaping into space. It’s reflected back down toward the ground. And so that’s a warming effect.
Stettler said, “On balance, contrails warm the atmosphere more than they cool it. And that’s primarily because the cooling effect due to reflecting of sunlight can only happen during the day when the sun’s shining, while the warming effect due to trapping of outgoing heat happens all of the time. Some contrails can form clouds that last for up to 18 hours. During that time, they spread out, trapping even more heat. This process allows contrails to warm the earth about as much as the carbon dioxide release from planes.”
“By changing the altitude only by a couple of thousand feet, either up or down, it would no longer form a contrail. And so what we found in the study was that by changing the altitude of less than 2 percent of flights, we could actually eliminate just under 60 percent of the warming effect due to contrails.” added Stettler. This improved understanding of how to manage contrails presents an opportunity for the airline industry to reduce its global environmental impact.
28. How does the author introduce the topic of the text
A. By asking questions. B. By quoting someone’s words.
C. By presenting examples. D. By listing comparative statistics.
29. What do we know about contrails
A. They can warm and cool the atmosphere.
B. They are formed by the reflection of sunlight.
C. They do more good than harm to the atmosphere.
D. They hardly cause the cooling effect during the day.
30. What does the underlined word “eliminate” in the last paragraph mean
A. Break away from. B. Get rid of.
C. Run out of. D. Put up with.
31. What is the main idea of the text
A. The release of carbon dioxide is increasing.
B. Clouds from plane exhaust are caused by global warming.
C. The altitude of planes is linked to global warming.
D. Contrails are affecting the climate of the planet.
D
Almost every day I’ve been having an alarming number of “what planet am I on ” moments. This is particularly true when it comes to the topic of artificial intelligence.
Witness this headline from the New York Times: “The Godfather of AI Warns of Danger Ahead.” Here’s another one, from the New York Post: “Ex-Google Exec Mo Gawdat Warns Al Could Create Killing Machines.” But don’t worry! Here’s more, from CNBC: “An Annual Meeting Attended by the World’s Elite(精英) Has AI Top of the Agenda.” These unaccountable, largely unelected rich people are apparently ready to solve the problems of this mad world. The assumption, it appears, is that this “honored” group has it all under control, which is funny given that the crazed AI cat is already miles out of its torn bag. I’ll say it again: What planet am I on
But my friends, who decided all this, anyway Who made AI king The answer is nobody, and also everybody, I guess. No one’s really in charge, and if we’re honest with each other, there is not a thing anyone can do. As to me, I do try. I don’t upload my photos to the cloud. I don’t engage with ChatGPT, and I never use facial recognition on my phone—but my husband does both. “You’re feeding the best!” I tell him. “Who cares ” he usually replies, “It’s happening with or without us.”
Maybe AI will make it a lot easier to re-book airline tickets with flight credits that you unwillingly earned when the airline canceled your flight home from your ski vacation. Just kidding—of course it won’t. But in all seriousness, I’m sure AI will make the government completely efficient. Ha! Got you again! Sometimes I like to think back to the 90’s, when sizeable numbers of smart people were all complaining about the “end of history” and the general assumption was that things in the future would get ever more sensible. It all seems kind of funny now, doesn’t it
Here’s the good news: I just made my husband read this column, and he finally agreed to disuse facial recognition on his phone. The bad news: I think it requires facial recognition to get it done.
32. What is Paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A. negative impacts of AI have become uncontrollable
B. AI technology has made significant advancements
C. we should dismiss Al warnings from experts
D. the world is amazed by the rapid development of AI
33. By mentioning her husband in paragraph 3, the author intends to __________.
A. criticize him for misusing AI
B. urge readers to resist the use of AI
C. demonstrate the possibility of being slave to AI
D. present a common perspective people have on AI
34. According to the passage, what is the author most likely to agree with
A. AI makes the world more sensible.
B. AI doesn’t live up to our expectations.
C. AI makes the government less efficient.
D. AI can solve the complex problems humans are facing.
35. What is the author’s tone in the text
A. Confident. B. Proud C. Ironic. D. Dismissive.

The 24 solar terms were created thousands of years ago in China to guide agricultural production. They also reflect China’s rich history through the seasonal festivals, special foods, cultural ceremonies, family gatherings and even healthy living tips that correspond with each solar term. 36
Rain Water signals the increase in rainfall and rise in temperature. With its arrival, lively spring-like scenery starts blossoming: the river water defreezes, wild geese move from south to north and trees and grass turn green again.
37 In northern China, the spring drought is common and the precipitation of this season accounts for only 10 to 15 percent of annual average rainfall. At this time of year, farmers begin to plough their fields. It’s the right time to prepare for spring sowing when the day gets warmer. 38
During Rain Water period, extra care is needed to deal with a returning cold spell and humidity, which is the amount of water in the air. 39 It is strongly advised not to take off the thick coats too early and to keep warm, especially the elderly and children.

Honey, dates and Chinese yam are also very good nourishment to put in the porridge.
A. With Rain Water coming, insects become more active.
B. A bowl of nutritious porridge is the best choice to nourish the body.

Emily White was born seventeen years ago with so many birth problems in her body. Some of her organs, bones and muscles were out of shape. No one expected her to survive. She did make it but with her strange body figure, everyone could recognize her, even from a distance.
In Emily White’s hometown, there was a yearly outdoor performance in the school auditorium(大礼堂). It had been performed for so many years and actually had become one of the most important events of the Christmas season for many of the town’s people. Many people tried out each year for it, but so many were turned away. It can only include the most excellent people in the field.
Emily had a beautiful singing voice. Last year she went to Mrs. Owens—her music teacher to ask to join in the performance. Without letting her sing, Mrs. Owens took a look at Amy’s body and said, “Child, you just don’t fit. Everyone would stare at you and that would make you uncomfortable. It would make them uncomfortable, too.”
Without singing a single note, Emily was sent back through the door of the choral room. Hurt and upset, she decided never to try out again. But Mrs. Owens then retired.
This year, there came a new music teacher, Mr. Buttler. He heard about Emily and suggested that she have a try.
Emily didn’t want to be rejected again, so she hesitated a little about it. As Emily struggled, the door was pushed open and Mr. Buttler called, “Emily, you’re next.” Although kind of nervous, Emily did as Mr. Buttler told her to do. Mr. Buttler sat by the piano to keep Emily company. When Emily finished her testing performance, she thanked Mr. Buttler and knew the result would be posted on the door of the choral room the next day.
Emily couldn’t sleep that night. She was suffering from the feelings that she didn’t fit and the great need to be accepted. By the next morning, her stomach was even in pain because of stress.
注意:续写词数应为150左右

The next day, Emily nervously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room. _______________________

The assumption, it appears, is that this “honored” group has it all under control, which is funny given that the crazed AI cat is already miles out of its torn bag.”(这些不负责任的、大部分未经选举的富人显然已经准备好解决这个疯狂世界的问题。看起来,这个“光荣”的团体似乎已经控制住了一切,这很有趣,因为疯狂的人工智能猫已经从撕破的袋子里跑出来了。)由此可知,第2段暗示人工智能的负面影响已经变得无法控制。故选A项。
33.推理判断题。根据第三段中“I don’t upload my photos to the cloud.

Just kidding—of course it won’t. But in all seriousness, I’m sure AI will make the government completely efficient. Ha! Got you again!”(也许人工智能会让你更容易用航空公司取消你滑雪度假回家的航班时不情愿获得的航班积分来重新预订机票。开个玩笑——当然不会。但说真的,我相信人工智能将使政府完全高效。哈!又抓到你了!)可推知,作者认为人工智能并没有达到我们的期望。故选B项。
35.推理判断题。根据对文章的理解以及最后一段“Here’s the good news: I just made my husband read this column, and he finally agreed to disable facial recognition on his phone. The bad news: I think it requires facial recognition to get it done.”(好消息是:我刚刚让我丈夫读了这篇专栏,他终于同意禁用手机上的面部识别功能。坏消息是:我认为这需要面部识别才能完成。)可知,作者在短文中表达了对人工智能的担忧和不解,指出一些富有的人似乎准备解决这个疯狂世界的问题,但实际上没有人真正掌控局面。作者还讨论了自己对人工智能的态度,以及对人工智能可能带来的影响的一些幽默和严肃的看法。由此可推知,作者在文章中的语气是具有讽刺意味的。故选C项。

Dear Jackson,
I’m more than delighted to share my opinion which I hope will be of some help to you. Frankly, I hold the view that it makes good sense to study abroad. The reasons are as follows.
To begin with, exposure to a foreign language setting while we are studying abroad makes learning process engaging and effective. Moreover, bathed in a different culture of a foreign country, we can gain great insights into the world because cross-cultural experiences can give us a global perspective. Studying abroad takes us out of our comfort zone and changes us for the better, which is the most important from my perspective.
All things considered. I hope you can choose to study abroad and start a new life.
Yours
Li Hua
第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
One possible version:
The next day, Emily nervously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room. She was not rejected this time. Her name was posted at the top of the list. She, Emily White, was chosen to be the leading singer! She would sing alone in the performance. Emily couldn’t believe her eyes. There must be some mistake. But Mr. Butler said to her with determined eyes, “Emily, I choose you because you should perform the part -your voice is unusual. Believe in yourself.” Greatly encouraged, Emily practiced really hard.
Finally, the day of performance came. Standing in front of the line, Emily felt her throat tight and her palms sweating. When the curtain opened up, the eyes of the whole audience fell upon Emily. “Emily White!” Someone whispered. Then, along with the first note of music, Emily began to sing her heart out. Her voice was like a nightingale ringing in the auditorium. Applause! Emily felt so happy and comfortable. She was shining on the stage. Emily White, with so many birth problems in her body, was an angel!
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Emily17年前出生时身体就有很多问题。她的一些器官、骨骼和肌肉变形了,好在Emily有一副美丽的歌喉。但去年,她去找她的音乐老师要求参加演出选拔,却被无情拒绝,今年来了一位新的音乐老师,他听说了Emily的事,给予她一次展示自己的机会,她很感激,但想到次日公布的选拔结果她感到很紧张。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“第二天,Emily紧张地看了看合唱教室门上的名单。”可知,第一段可描写她通过了选拔以及老师对她的鼓励。
②由第二段首句内容“终于,演出的日子到了。”可知,第二段可描写Emily演唱出色,观众为她鼓掌。
2.续写线索:Emily被选中——不敢相信自己的眼睛——Mr. Buttler鼓励Emily——Emily努力练习——紧张——唱得很好——观众鼓掌——Emily高兴
