(2024·河南·模拟预测)Do you recall your beloved school teachers Did they awaken a passion for a once-unappealing subject or offer valuable guidance
Mr Moriarty was the one. When he became a science teacher, 22-year-old Patrick Moriarty was hoping to make a difference in his students’ lives. After all, the natural world has so many fascinating secrets that he was willing to teach and he would devote long years to preparing his “kids” for adulthood. In 1978, he was teaching kids about the sky events and passed out worksheets, showing the paths of the upcoming eclipses (日食). Sadly, a lot of them would not be visible in New York. All but one on April 8, 2024.
“Circle that one,” Mr Moriarty told his students. “We’re going to get together on that one.”
The youngsters laughed — the eclipse wouldn’t occur for nearly five decades and everyone would’ve forgotten the promise by then. But they severely underestimated their teacher.
Years flew by and Mr Moriarty made the same promise to all of his classes about the plan in the distant future. As the popularity of printed press declined, he created a Facebook group in 2022, detailing the event and trying to find former students who would want to attend it.
Mr Moriarty never expected there would be such a massive turnout, but the word was spreading like wildfire among his former classmates. On Monday, the 8th of April, about 100 former students gathered in their teacher’s driveway. As the students started arriving at his house, he had trouble recognizing them. However, he remembered most of their names and some amusing stories that happened during his teaching years.
“It was so interesting to see them walking up with thinning or gray hair, and looking at me like, ‘You’re still my teacher,’” he laughed. “This has got to be the longest homework assignment in history.” Lastly, Mr Moriarty suggested marking the 22nd of August, 2044, the day when the next visible total solar eclipse will occur. Once again, everyone laughed, but this time with a little less doubt.
4.Why did Mr Moriarty create a Facebook group
A.To popularize astronomical knowledge.
B.To seek out former students who wanted to take class.
C.To share some funny stories from. his teaching career.
D.To remind his former students of the previous assignment.
5.Which of the following words best describe Mr Moriarty
A.Passionate and committed. B.Honest and wise.
C.Respectable and humble. D.Generous and energetic.
6.What can be inferred about Mr Moriarty from paragraph 6
A.He suffered from a poor memory.
B.He had little influence on his former students.
C.He took great pride in his students’ achievements.
D.He was astonished to see so many of his former students.
7.What can we learn about the students’ reaction to the reunion of 2044
A.They ignored the special promise.
B.They put more trust in their teacher.
C.They thought of their teacher being amusing.
D.They doubted the possibility of the proposal.
【答案】4.D 5.A 6.D 7.B

C
(2024·湖南长沙·一模)Having high self-control is often seen as a good thing. It’s believed to be the key to success in life. But as suggested in a theory published by Professor Thomas Lynch, it may not always be a good thing—and for some, it could be linked to certain mental health problems.
According to Lynch’s theory, everyone leans (偏向) more towards one of two personality styles: under control or overcontrol. Being under controlled or overcontrolled is neither good nor bad because most of us are psychologically flexible, and can adapt to different situations. So, regardless of whether we're overcontrolled or under controlled, this flexibility helps us deal with life's challenges and setbacks in a constructive way.
But when we are much less flexible, both under control and overcontrol can become problematic. Most of us are probably more familiar with highly under controlled people, who may struggle to control their emotions and their behaviors may be unpredictable. This can negatively affect their relationships, education, work, and health.
Unfortunately, overcontrol isn't talked about as much. This may be because overcontrolled characteristics—such as persistence, the ability to make plans and stick to them, pursuing perfection, and being in control of emotions-are often highly regarded in our society.
However, highly overcontrolled people may struggle to adapt to changes. They may be less open to new experiences. They may experience bitter feelings of envy towards others, and struggle to relax and have fun in many social situations. They may also use fewer gestures, and rarely smile or cry. Together, these may make a person more likely to experience social isolation and loneliness. This may eventually cause their mental health to worsen.
Alongside his theory, Lynch also developed a treatment designed to treat issues of overcontrol. It helps overcontrolled people by teaching them how to let go of the need t oalways be in control, be more open about their emotions, better communicate with other people, and be more flexible in changing situations. Continued work in the field will hopefully make it easier for people to get the help they need.
8.How does psychological flexibility help people
A.It backs adjusting to changes effectively.
B.It assists in dealing with similar situations.
C.It supports overcoming physical challenges.
D.It encourages choosing the right personality style.
9.Why is overcontrolled personality less talked about
A.It is insignificant. B.It is underestimated. C.It fits social values. D.It has changing features.
10.What can be inferred about highly overcontrolled people in paragraph 5
A.They ignore their mental health. B.They know little of body gestures.
C.They experience few new emotions. D.They have a poor social support network.
11.What is Lynch’s suggestion for highly overcontrolled people
A.Accepting more changes. B.Interacting with others more.
C.Evaluating feelings more often. D.Releasing more personal needs.
【答案】8.A 9.C 10.D 11.B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了过度控制对心理健康的影响。虽然过度控制的人具备的特质通常被社会所重视,但他们可能面临难以适应变化、社交孤立和孤独等问题。过度控制的人应该不要总是控制自己的需求,要更好地表达情感并与他人沟通。
8.细节理解题。根据第二段的“Being under controlled or overcontrolled is neither good nor bad because most of us are psychologically flexible, and can adapt to different situations.(受到控制或过度控制既不好也不坏,因为我们大多数人的心理都很灵活,能够适应不同的情况)”可知,心理灵活性使人们能够在生活中灵活地适应不同的情况。因此,心理灵活性有助于人们有效地适应变化。故选A。
9.推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Unfortunately, overcontrol isn't talked about as much. This may be because overcontrolled characteristics—such as persistence, the ability to make plans and stick to them, pursuing perfection, and being in control of emotions-are often highly regarded in our society.(不幸的是,过度控制并没有被谈论那么多。这可能是因为过度控制的特征——比如坚持、制定计划并坚持下去的能力、追求完美和控制情绪的能力——在我们的社会中往往受到高度重视)”可知,过度控制的人的特征(如坚持不懈、制订并坚持执行计划的能力、追求完美和控制情绪)通常在我们的社会中受到高度重视,由此可推知,过度控制的个性符合社会价值观,所以很少被提及。故选C。
10.推理判断题。根据第五段“They may experience bitter feelings of envy towards others, and struggle to relax and have fun in many social situations. They may also use fewer gestures, and rarely smile or cry. Together, these may make a person more likely to experience social isolation and loneliness. (他们可能会对他人产生嫉妒的苦涩情绪,并在许多社交场合努力放松和享受乐趣。他们也可能较少使用手势,很少微笑或哭泣。这些因素加在一起可能会使一个人更容易经历社会孤立和孤独)”可知,过度控制的人可能很难适应各种变化,可能不太愿意接
受新体验,可能对他人产生苦涩的嫉妒情绪,也可能难以在社交场合中放松和享受乐趣。这些因素可能使他们更容易经历社交孤立和孤独。由此可以推断出,过度控制的人可能拥有较差的社交支持网。故选D。
11.推理判断题。根据最后一段的“It helps overcontrolled people by teaching them how to let go of the need to always be in control, be more open about their emotions, better communicate with other people, and be more flexible in changing situations. (它帮助过度控制的人,教会他们如何放下总是控制自己的需要,更开放地对待自己的情绪,更好地与他人沟通,在不断变化的情况下更灵活)”可知,Lynch针对过度控制问题研发了一种治疗方法,教过度控制的人如何不要总是控制自己的需求,更加开放地表达情感,与他人更好地沟通,并在不断变化的情况下更具灵活性。由此可推知,Lynch给过度控制的人的建议包括“更多地与他人互动”这一条。故选B。
D
(2024·四川绵阳·三模)The maker of ChatGPT recently announced its next move into generative(有生产力的)artificial intelligence. San Francisco-based OpenAI’s new text-to-video generator, called Sora, is a tool that instantly makes short videos based on written commands, called prompts.
Sora is not the first of its kind. Google, Meta and Runway ML are among the other companies to have developed similar technology. But the high quality of videos displayed by OpenAI —some released after CEO Sam Altman asked social media users to send in ideas for written prompts —surprised observers.
A photographer from New Hampshire posted one suggestion, or prompt, on X. The prompt gave details about a kind of food to be cooked, gnocchi(意大利团子), as well as the setting —an old Italian country kitchen. The prompt said: “An instructional cooking session for homemade gnocchi, hosted by a grandmother —a social media influencer, set in a rustic(土气的)Tuscan country kitchen.” Altman answered a short time later with a realistic video that showed what the prompt described.
The tool is not yet publicly available. OpenAI has given limited information about how it was built. The company also has not stated what imagery and video sources were used to train Sora. At the same time, the video results led to fears about the possible ethical and societal effects.
The New York Times and some writers have taken legal actions against OpenAI for its use of copyrighted works of writing to train ChatGPT. And OpenAI pays a fee to The Associated Press, the source of this report, to license its text news archive(档案). OpenAI said in a blog post that it is communicating with artists, policymakers and others before releasing the new tool to the public.
The company added that it is working with “red teamers” — people who try to find problems and give
helpful suggestions — to develop Sora. “We are working with red teamers who will be adversarially(对立地)testing the model,” the company said. “We’re also building tools to help detect misleading content such as a detection classifier that can tell when a video was generated by Sora.”
12.What makes Sora impressive
A.Its artificial intelligence history.
B.Its extraordinary video quality.
C.Its ethical and societal influence.
D.Its written commands and prompts.
13.What is the main idea of Paragraph 6
A.The company’s current challenge.
B.The company’s advanced technology.
C.The company’s problems in management.
D.The company’s efforts for Sora’s improvement.
14.What can we infer from the text
A.Some disagreements over Sora have arisen.
B.Sora is the first text-to-video generator in history.
C.OpenAI CEO Altman wrote a prompt as an example.
D.All the details about how Sora was built have been shared.
15.What is the author’s attitude towards Sora
A.Pessimistic. B.Optimistic. C.Neutral. D.Cautious.
【答案】12.B 13.D 14.A 15.C
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了OpenAI新推出了一款文本到视频生成器Sora,文章介绍了其特点以及其争议。
12.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“But the high quality of videos displayed by OpenAI —some released after CEO Sam Altman asked social media users to send in ideas for written prompts —surprised observers.(但OpenAI显示的高质量视频——其中一些是在首席执行官Sam Altman要求社交媒体用户发送书面提示的想法后发布的——让观察者感到惊讶。)”可知,Sora让人印象深刻的是其非凡的视频质量,故选B。
13.主旨大意题。根据文章第六段“The company added that it is working with “red teamers” — people who try to find problems and give helpful suggestions — to develop Sora. “We are working with red teamers who will be
adversarially(对立地)testing the model,” the company said. “We’re also building tools to help detect misleading content such as a detection classifier that can tell when a video was generated by Sora.”(该公司补充说,它正在与“红队成员”合作开发Sora。红队成员试图发现问题并提出有用的建议。该公司表示:“我们与红队合作,他们将对该模式进行对立的测试。我们还在构建一些工具来帮助检测误导性内容,比如一个检测分类器,它可以判断视频是由Sora生成的。”)可知,第六段主要介绍了公司为Sora的改进所做的努力,与红队合作,并构建一些工具来帮助检测其误导性的内容,故选D。
14.推理判断题。根据第四段“OpenAI has given limited information about how it was built. The company also has not stated what imagery and video sources were used to train Sora. At the same time, the video results led to fears about the possible ethical and societal effects.( OpenAI提供的关于它是如何构建的信息有限。该公司也没有说明用于训练Sora的图像和视频来源。与此同时,视频结果引发了人们对可能产生的道德和社会影响的担忧。)”可知,视频结果引发了人们对可能产生的道德和社会影响的担忧,由此可推知,社会上就Sora出现了一些分歧,故选A。
15.推理判断题。根据第一段“The maker of ChatGPT recently announced its next move into generative(有生产力的)artificial intelligence. San Francisco-based OpenAI’s new text-to-video generator, called Sora, is a tool that instantly makes short videos based on written commands, called prompts.(ChatGPT的制造商最近宣布了其向生成人工智能的下一步行动。基于旧金山的OpenAI新的文本到视频生成器Sora是一种基于书面命令(称为提示)即时制作短视频的工具。)”可知,主要介绍了OpenAI新推出了一款文本到视频生成器 Sora,全文作者客观的在陈述Sora的特点、社会对其的争议以及该公司为了Sora的改进所做的努力,故可推知作者对Sora的态度是中立的,故选C。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
(2024·安徽芜湖·三模)A Few Active Listening Guidelines
Listening is arguably the most important element of interpersonal communication. Our ability to listen well impacts the quality of all of our relationships, and not just at home with our family and friends—it can also affect our relationships and interactions on the job, as well as the effectiveness and quality of our work.
Listening is not something that comes naturally or easily for most of us. Instead, it is a skill that must be cultivated and practiced. Active listening means the difference between simply hearing, and listening with the intent to truly understand. 16
1. Give focused attention.
Try to minimize external (外部的) distractions. Turn down the noise, and put down or step away from what you’re doing if possible. 17 Don’t watch the clock, fidget (坐立不安) or go over your to-do list for later.
2. Maintain eye contact.
Direct eye contact shows your attention and intention to listen. 18 Be reasonable, but try not to let your eyes wander to whatever is going on around you.
3. 19
Restate, but don’t repeat word for word. Paraphrase what you think the other part is saying with responses such as: “What I’m hearing is…” or “Let me see if I’m following you…”Reflecting what you’ve heard signals that you’re attempting to understand fully.
4. Respond appropriately.
Be open and honest in your responses. Share your thoughts, insights and feelings in a clear, but respectful and considerate manner even if you disagree.
Active listening is a model for good communication. 20 It takes practice to develop active listening skills, and it’s a habit that has to be reinforced (加强). Remind yourself that the goal of conversation is not merely to trade words, but to truly understand what the other party is saying and to be understood in turn.
A.Reflect back.
B.This doesn’t mean stare, though.
C.Instead, focus on what is being said.
D.It is a subtle but important distinction.
E.Look into the speakers’ eyes as long as possible.
F.Also, set aside other internal thinking and dialogue.
G.Remember that listening is not just to gather information and share ideas, but also to gain perspective and understanding.
【答案】16.D 17.F 18.B 19.A 20.G
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍的是一些积极倾听指南。
16.空前“Active listening means the difference between simply hearing, and listening with the intent to truly understand. (积极倾听意味着简单的倾听和用心去真正理解的倾听之间的区别。)”解释积极倾听的意义,提到简单的倾听和用心去真正理解的倾听之间的区别,空格处应该对这种区别作进一步评论,D选项“It is a subtle but important distinction. (这是一个微妙但重要的区别。)”说明了空前所讲的差别是微妙但是重要的,
因此承接上文,符合语境,故选D。
17.本段小标题是“Give focused attention. (给予集中的关注。)”,空前“Try to minimize external (外部的) distractions. Turn down the noise, and put down or step away from what you’re doing if possible.(尽量减少外界的干扰。关掉噪音,如果可能的话,放下或远离你正在做的事情。)”说明的是如何集中注意力,空格处也应该是和集中注意力有关的内容,F选项“Also, set aside other internal thinking and dialogue. (同时,把其他的内部思考和对话放在一边。)”也是一种集中注意力的方法,因此承接上文,符合语境,故选F。
18.空前“Direct eye contact shows your attention and intention to listen. (直接的眼神交流表明了你的注意力和倾听的意图。)”说明了直接的眼神交流的作用,空格处也应该是和眼神交流有关的内容,B选项“This doesn’t mean stare, though. (不过,这并不是说盯着看。)”也是和眼神有关,因此承接上文,符合语境,故选B。
19.空格处是本段小标题,由空后的“Reflecting what you’ve heard signals that you’re attempting to understand fully.(反思你所听到的内容表明你正在试图完全理解。)”可知,本段主要讲的是要反思,A选项“Reflect back. (反思。)”说明了要反思,概括了本段内容,可作为小标题,故选A。
20.空前“Active listening is a model for good communication. (积极倾听是良好沟通的典范。)”说明了积极倾听是良好沟通的典范,空后“Remind yourself that the goal of conversation is not merely to trade words, but to truly understand what the other party is saying and to be understood in turn. (提醒自己,对话的目的不仅仅是交换语言,而是要真正理解对方在说什么,并被对方理解。)”说明了对话的目的是理解对方,并被对方理解,空格处也应该是说倾听是和理解有关的,G选项“Remember that listening is not just to gather information and share ideas, but also to gain perspective and understanding .(记住,倾听不仅仅是为了收集信息和分享想法,也是为了获得观点和理解。)”说明了倾听是为了理解,因此承上启下,符合语境,故选G。

At noon, the Tongxin Cafeteria near the Jing’an Temple downtown has a queue that shows its multi-generational popularity. The menu, with over 60 dishes changed daily, 36 ( cater ) to a range of
tastes. For many young people who think cooking for themselves is time-consuming, the nearby community canteen is a perfect 37 (solve).
These cafeterias, once known as “ senior canteens”, were originally established to provide healthy meals 38 affordable prices to older folks who might not be getting enough nutrition at home. Shanghai government set a goal of building 200 new community canteens, 39 (bring) the total at the end of last year to 1 ,608. A basic meal with one meat dish and two vegetables costs less than 20 yuan, far 40 (cheap) than prices in downtown restaurants. And all meals 41 ( prepare ) on site with fresh ingredients. The government supports these cafeterias--sometimes with rent-free space, sometimes with 42 ( reduce ) water and electricity charges. Li Jiajun is the manager of 43 local community canteen , where he prioritizes elderly diners from 10:30 am-11:30 am and 4:30 pm -5:30 pm. Apart from those hours, people of all ages are welcome. Li said cafeteria managers are required 44 ( maintain ) detailed records, including 48-hour food samples and daily uploads to food safety platforms. This approach ensures the traceability of all ingredients. Some community cafeterias have become so popular 45 they appear on many lifestyle-sharing platforms.
【答案】36.caters 37.solution 38.at 39.bringing 40.cheaper 41.are prepared 42.reduced 43.a 44.to maintain 45.that
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了上海的一些社区自助餐厅变得很受欢迎,并简要说明了其受欢迎的原因。
36.考查谓语动词。句意:菜单上每天有60多种菜肴更换,迎合了各种口味。此空处应为本句的谓语动词,根据语境可知,本句讲述的是客观事实,所以应用一般现在时,且与主语 The menu为主动关系,主语为单数。故填caters。
37.考查名词。句意:对于许多认为自己做饭很耗时的年轻人来说,附近的社区食堂是一个完美的解决方案。此空处位于形容词之后,所以应为名词作表语,solve的名词为solution意为“解决方案”,且空前有不定冠词a,所以此处使用名词单数。故填solution。
38.考查介词。句意:这些自助餐厅,曾经被称为“老年人食堂”,最初建立的目的是为那些在家里可能得不到足够营养的老年人提供价格合理的健康膳食。根据句意可知,此处为固定短语at a…price意为“以……的价格”符合句意,at affordable prices意为“物美价廉”。故填at。
39.考查现在分词。句意:上海市政府设定了新建200家社区食堂的目标,到去年年底,社区食堂的总数达到1608家。此空处应为非谓语动词作状语,bring与逻辑主语Shanghai government之间为主动关系,所以此处使用现在分词形式。故填bringing。
40.考查比较级。句意:一顿一荤两素的基本套餐不到20元,比市中心餐馆的价格便宜得多。根据空后的than可知,此处应为cheap的比较级形式cheaper。故填 cheaper。
41.考查谓语动词。句意:所有的饭菜都是用新鲜的食材在现场准备的。此空处应为本句的谓语动词,根据句意和语境可知,此处讲述的是客观情况,所以使用一般现在时,主语meals与prepare之间为被动关系,因此空处应为一般现在时的被动语态,主语为名词复数形式。故填are prepared。
42.考查过去分词。句意:政府支持这些自助餐厅,有时提供免租金空间,有时减少水电费。此空处应为非谓语动词作定语,修饰空后的 water and electricity charges,且water and electricity charges与reduce之间为被动关系,所以此处应为过去分词形式。故填 reduced。
43.考查冠词。句意:李家军(音译)是当地一家社区食堂的经理,他在上午10:30 -11:30和下午4:30 -5:30为老年人提供优先服务。canteen意为“餐厅”,可数名词单数,空前无限定词,所以此处使用冠词,结合句意,此处指一家当地的社区餐厅,表泛指,所以使用不定冠词,且空后的local的首个音素为辅音。故填a。
44.考查动词不定式。句意:李经理说,食堂管理人员需要保持详细的记录,包括48小时的食物样本和每天上传到食品安全平台的记录。此空为非谓语动词作补语,根据固定搭配be required to do sth.意为“被要求做某事”可知,此处应使用动词不定式形式作主语补足语。故填to maintain。
45.考查状语从句。句意:一些社区自助餐厅变得如此受欢迎,以至于出现在许多生活方式分享平台上。此处应为固定句型“so...that...”意为“如此……以至于……”符合句意,that引导的为结果状语从句。故填 that。

【答案】One possible version:
Dear Ryan,
I’m excited to hear about the English Reading Bar initiative. I recommend focusing on young adult fiction.
First of all, young adult literature often tackles themes and issues that are highly relevant to the teenage experience, such as identity, friendship, and coming of age, which can foster deep engagement and discussion. Moreover, the writing style in these books is typically more approachable for English learners, allowing students to focus on comprehension and enjoyment without being overwhelmed by complex language. Last but not least, they offer a wide array of stories with diverse characters and settings, promoting inclusivity and broadening students’ perspectives on different cultures and experiences.
I believe these selections will not only attract students to the bar but also enhance their reading skills and cultural awareness.
Best regards,
Li Hua

(2024·广东·三模)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。
It took a day’s drive, but distance was beside the point. I always enjoyed long journeys in my father’s car with my family. However, things went different that time. We were moving to a new town, not for any tourist destination, but to settle down, for my father had a new job there. My mother, sitting on the passenger seat in the front, was talking with my father. She looked excited for the coming new life. But I was down, feeling nervous about starting a new school life. Entering a new school meant adapting to a completely different environment and meeting new classmates and teachers, which I was not good at.
On my first day at the new school, I felt lost and out of place. The students already knew each other well, and they chatted happily during breaks. I missed my old friends terribly and wished I could go back to my old school. Feeling lonely. I often spent time alone during breaks and after classes, reading books in the library or drawing pictures in the art room. I missed the good days I had with my old friends and longed for that sense of belonging.
As the days went by, I still found it hard to fit in. I was shy and found it difficult to strike up conversations with my classmates. Some of the kids in my class noticed my discomfort and tried to be friendly, but I couldn’t shake off the feeling of being an outsider. I only had words with my desk mate, Alex, when necessary. Things took a turn for the worse when I knocked off Alex’s water bottle by accident, although I picked up the bottle immediately and apologized to him. He got mad at me and seemed not to forgive me. Soon I found we were avoiding each other.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】However, I was assigned to pair up with Alex to design a poster. Reluctantly, we started working together. I was worried that working with Alex would be very difficult because of our previous relationship. But to my surprise, as the work progressed, we found that we shared many common interests. We put a lot of efforts into the drawings and texts, and finally we completed a quite outstanding poster. Alex seemed to forgive me. He appreciated my efforts and began to care about my feelings. The teacher highly praised our work and our classmates were amazed at the picture on the poster.
Alex proudly introduced that the fantastic picture was drawn by me. I smiled shyly but happily as my classmates crowned me and gave me a thumbs-up. Slowly but surely, I started feeling more comfortable in my new school. I made new friends, including Alex, and began to participate in activities in and after classes. By the end of the school year, I had fully adapted to the new environment. Moving to a new town was not only challenging, but it also opened up a world of opportunities and new experiences for me.

(2024·河南·模拟预测)Do you recall your beloved school teachers Did they awaken a passion for a once-unappealing subject or offer valuable guidance
Mr Moriarty was the one. When he became a science teacher, 22-year-old Patrick Moriarty was hoping to make a difference in his students’ lives. After all, the natural world has so many fascinating secrets that he was willing to teach and he would devote long years to preparing his “kids” for adulthood. In 1978, he was teaching kids about the sky events and passed out worksheets, showing the paths of the upcoming eclipses (日食). Sadly, a lot of them would not be visible in New York. All but one on April 8, 2024.
“Circle that one,” Mr Moriarty told his students. “We’re going to get together on that one.”
The youngsters laughed — the eclipse wouldn’t occur for nearly five decades and everyone would’ve forgotten the promise by then. But they severely underestimated their teacher.
Years flew by and Mr Moriarty made the same promise to all of his classes about the plan in the distant future. As the popularity of printed press declined, he created a Facebook group in 2022, detailing the event and trying to find former students who would want to attend it.
Mr Moriarty never expected there would be such a massive turnout, but the word was spreading like wildfire among his former classmates. On Monday, the 8th of April, about 100 former students gathered in their teacher’s driveway. As the students started arriving at his house, he had trouble recognizing them. However, he remembered most of their names and some amusing stories that happened during his teaching years.
“It was so interesting to see them walking up with thinning or gray hair, and looking at me like, ‘You’re still my teacher,’” he laughed. “This has got to be the longest homework assignment in history.” Lastly, Mr Moriarty
suggested marking the 22nd of August, 2044, the day when the next visible total solar eclipse will occur. Once again, everyone laughed, but this time with a little less doubt.
4.Why did Mr Moriarty create a Facebook group
A.To popularize astronomical knowledge.
B.To seek out former students who wanted to take class.
C.To share some funny stories from. his teaching career.
D.To remind his former students of the previous assignment.
5.Which of the following words best describe Mr Moriarty
A.Passionate and committed. B.Honest and wise.
C.Respectable and humble. D.Generous and energetic.
6.What can be inferred about Mr Moriarty from paragraph 6
A.He suffered from a poor memory.
B.He had little influence on his former students.
C.He took great pride in his students’ achievements.
D.He was astonished to see so many of his former students.
7.What can we learn about the students’ reaction to the reunion of 2044
A.They ignored the special promise.
B.They put more trust in their teacher.
C.They thought of their teacher being amusing.
D.They doubted the possibility of the proposal.

(2024·湖南长沙·一模)Having high self-control is often seen as a good thing. It’s believed to be the key to success in life. But as suggested in a theory published by Professor Thomas Lynch, it may not always be a good thing—and for some, it could be linked to certain mental health problems.
According to Lynch’s theory, everyone leans (偏向) more towards one of two personality styles: under control or overcontrol. Being under controlled or overcontrolled is neither good nor bad because most of us are psychologically flexible, and can adapt to different situations. So, regardless of whether we're overcontrolled or under controlled, this flexibility helps us deal with life's challenges and setbacks in a constructive way.
But when we are much less flexible, both under control and overcontrol can become problematic. Most of us
are probably more familiar with highly under controlled people, who may struggle to control their emotions and their behaviors may be unpredictable. This can negatively affect their relationships, education, work, and health.
Unfortunately, overcontrol isn't talked about as much. This may be because overcontrolled characteristics—such as persistence, the ability to make plans and stick to them, pursuing perfection, and being in control of emotions-are often highly regarded in our society.
However, highly overcontrolled people may struggle to adapt to changes. They may be less open to new experiences. They may experience bitter feelings of envy towards others, and struggle to relax and have fun in many social situations. They may also use fewer gestures, and rarely smile or cry. Together, these may make a person more likely to experience social isolation and loneliness. This may eventually cause their mental health to worsen.
Alongside his theory, Lynch also developed a treatment designed to treat issues of overcontrol. It helps overcontrolled people by teaching them how to let go of the need t oalways be in control, be more open about their emotions, better communicate with other people, and be more flexible in changing situations. Continued work in the field will hopefully make it easier for people to get the help they need.
8.How does psychological flexibility help people
A.It backs adjusting to changes effectively.
B.It assists in dealing with similar situations.
C.It supports overcoming physical challenges.
D.It encourages choosing the right personality style.
9.Why is overcontrolled personality less talked about
A.It is insignificant. B.It is underestimated. C.It fits social values. D.It has changing features.
10.What can be inferred about highly overcontrolled people in paragraph 5
A.They ignore their mental health. B.They know little of body gestures.
C.They experience few new emotions. D.They have a poor social support network.
11.What is Lynch’s suggestion for highly overcontrolled people
A.Accepting more changes. B.Interacting with others more.
C.Evaluating feelings more often. D.Releasing more personal needs.

(2024·四川绵阳·三模)The maker of ChatGPT recently announced its next move into generative(有生产力的)artificial intelligence. San Francisco-based OpenAI’s new text-to-video generator, called Sora, is a tool that instantly makes short videos based on written commands, called prompts.
Sora is not the first of its kind. Google, Meta and Runway ML are among the other companies to have developed similar technology. But the high quality of videos displayed by OpenAI —some released after CEO Sam Altman asked social media users to send in ideas for written prompts —surprised observers.
A photographer from New Hampshire posted one suggestion, or prompt, on X. The prompt gave details about a kind of food to be cooked, gnocchi(意大利团子), as well as the setting —an old Italian country kitchen. The prompt said: “An instructional cooking session for homemade gnocchi, hosted by a grandmother —a social media influencer, set in a rustic(土气的)Tuscan country kitchen.” Altman answered a short time later with a realistic video that showed what the prompt described.
The tool is not yet publicly available. OpenAI has given limited information about how it was built. The company also has not stated what imagery and video sources were used to train Sora. At the same time, the video results led to fears about the possible ethical and societal effects.
The New York Times and some writers have taken legal actions against OpenAI for its use of copyrighted works of writing to train ChatGPT. And OpenAI pays a fee to The Associated Press, the source of this report, to license its text news archive(档案). OpenAI said in a blog post that it is communicating with artists, policymakers and others before releasing the new tool to the public.
The company added that it is working with “red teamers” — people who try to find problems and give helpful suggestions — to develop Sora. “We are working with red teamers who will be adversarially(对立地)testing the model,” the company said. “We’re also building tools to help detect misleading content such as a detection classifier that can tell when a video was generated by Sora.”
12.What makes Sora impressive
A.Its artificial intelligence history.
B.Its extraordinary video quality.
C.Its ethical and societal influence.
D.Its written commands and prompts.
13.What is the main idea of Paragraph 6
A.The company’s current challenge.
B.The company’s advanced technology.
C.The company’s problems in management.
D.The company’s efforts for Sora’s improvement.
14.What can we infer from the text
A.Some disagreements over Sora have arisen.
B.Sora is the first text-to-video generator in history.
C.OpenAI CEO Altman wrote a prompt as an example.
D.All the details about how Sora was built have been shared.
15.What is the author’s attitude towards Sora
A.Pessimistic. B.Optimistic. C.Neutral. D.Cautious.

(2024·安徽芜湖·三模)A Few Active Listening Guidelines
Listening is arguably the most important element of interpersonal communication. Our ability to listen well impacts the quality of all of our relationships, and not just at home with our family and friends—it can also affect our relationships and interactions on the job, as well as the effectiveness and quality of our work.
Listening is not something that comes naturally or easily for most of us. Instead, it is a skill that must be cultivated and practiced. Active listening means the difference between simply hearing, and listening with the intent to truly understand. 16
1. Give focused attention.
Try to minimize external (外部的) distractions. Turn down the noise, and put down or step away from what you’re doing if possible. 17 Don’t watch the clock, fidget (坐立不安) or go over your to-do list for later.
2. Maintain eye contact.
Direct eye contact shows your attention and intention to listen. 18 Be reasonable, but try not to let your eyes wander to whatever is going on around you.
3. 19
Restate, but don’t repeat word for word. Paraphrase what you think the other part is saying with responses such as: “What I’m hearing is…” or “Let me see if I’m following you…”Reflecting what you’ve heard signals that you’re attempting to understand fully.
4. Respond appropriately.
Be open and honest in your responses. Share your thoughts, insights and feelings in a clear, but respectful and considerate manner even if you disagree.
Active listening is a model for good communication. 20 It takes practice to develop active listening skills, and it’s a habit that has to be reinforced (加强). Remind yourself that the goal of conversation is not merely to trade words, but to truly understand what the other party is saying and to be understood in turn.
A.Reflect back.
B.This doesn’t mean stare, though.
C.Instead, focus on what is being said.
D.It is a subtle but important distinction.
E.Look into the speakers’ eyes as long as possible.
F.Also, set aside other internal thinking and dialogue.
G.Remember that listening is not just to gather information and share ideas, but also to gain perspective and understanding.

(2024·广东·三模)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。
It took a day’s drive, but distance was beside the point. I always enjoyed long journeys in my father’s car with my family. However, things went different that time. We were moving to a new town, not for any tourist
destination, but to settle down, for my father had a new job there. My mother, sitting on the passenger seat in the front, was talking with my father. She looked excited for the coming new life. But I was down, feeling nervous about starting a new school life. Entering a new school meant adapting to a completely different environment and meeting new classmates and teachers, which I was not good at.
On my first day at the new school, I felt lost and out of place. The students already knew each other well, and they chatted happily during breaks. I missed my old friends terribly and wished I could go back to my old school. Feeling lonely. I often spent time alone during breaks and after classes, reading books in the library or drawing pictures in the art room. I missed the good days I had with my old friends and longed for that sense of belonging.
As the days went by, I still found it hard to fit in. I was shy and found it difficult to strike up conversations with my classmates. Some of the kids in my class noticed my discomfort and tried to be friendly, but I couldn’t shake off the feeling of being an outsider. I only had words with my desk mate, Alex, when necessary. Things took a turn for the worse when I knocked off Alex’s water bottle by accident, although I picked up the bottle immediately and apologized to him. He got mad at me and seemed not to forgive me. Soon I found we were avoiding each other.
