第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）
第一节阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。
A
Hosting the Olympics requires large spending. But in many cases efficiently utilizing (利用) the post-event venues to maximize ongoing economic benefits is one of the major considerations for the host country. Here are four cities that took different approaches to make full use of their structures of the Olympics.
London, Britain
The Olympic Village for the London Summer Games was transformed into 3,000 high-end apartments and has a nearly 95％ occupancy rate. The area of London, called East Village, is seeing several retailers moving in and the development of a playground, and outside exercise areas.
Beijing, China
Built for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, the Water Cube is now Asia’s largest waterpark, called Happy Magic Water Cube, equipped with 13 waterslides, a wave pool and a spa. The second floor also has several restaurants, bars and a museum of Olympic history.
New York, America
The Olympic Village in Lake Placid no longer welcomes athletes now, but instead, it houses criminals as the Federal Correctional Institution. It’s not surprising, though, because having a second public purpose for new buildings was the only way to get funding from the government.
Helsinki, Finland
Originally constructed in 1937, the Tennispalatsi, or Tennis Palace was first used as a basketball venue in the 1952 Summer Olympics. Now, however, it has been transformed into a popular tourist destination as a cultural center with an art museum and a movie theatre.
1. Why do organizers try to reuse their Olympic stadiums
A. To boost national pride. B. To earn international reputation.
C. To increase financial returns. D. To reduce environmental impacts.
2. Which city applied its sports venue to housing improvement
A. Beijing. B. London. C. Helsinki. D. New York.
3. How does the present Olympic Village in Lake Placid differ from the others
A. It has been remodeled into a prison. B. It features cultural exhibitions.
C. It is equipped with advanced facilities. D. It allows commercial activities.
B
On a cold February evening, while her mother slept peacefully, a kid slipped out of her home and into the darkened streets of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Dressed only in a T-shirt, socks and a diaper (尿布), the 3-year-old girl wandered around the abandoned parking lots of the city’s southwest side all by herself. She was cold and almost certainly afraid, but most of all, she was not safe. Thankfully, the right person saw her out alone and knew something wasn’t right.
Gabe Botello was delivering pizzas for Villa Pizza when he saw the unattended child at around 3: 00 am. He caught sight of her in the McConnell parking lot, but by the time he’d dropped off the food to his clients and retraced his steps, she had disappeared into the night.
A father of three kids himself, Gabe refused to go back to work until he located the little girl. He started pulling into empty parking lots to search for her. He finally spotted her curling up (蜷缩) between two walls at a factory across the street.
The concerned father jumped out of his car, pulled off his coat and wrapped her up to keep her warm. He put her into his car and gave her some water while he called 911.
The police arrived and were able to locate the kid’s home, where they discovered her mother was sound asleep and thought her daughter was, too. Gabe didn’t judge the child’s mother, and he hoped no one else would, either. He said, “As a parent, I know that children are quick and don’t always listen when they are told what’s best for them.”
Gabe not only did the right thing by finding the child and calling the police, but his level-headed and compassionate response to her mother warms our heart. It truly does take a village sometimes to take good care of a child, and we’re so glad this experienced dad was there when a child needed him most:
4. What was the girl’s mother doing when she was in the parking lots
A. Sleeping at home. B. Searching for her.
C. Wandering in the street. D. Curling up at a factory.
5. What did Gabe do first after finishing his delivery
A. He called 911 to help the girl. B. He comforted the girl.
C. He drove the girl home directly. D. He tried to find the girl.
6. What do Gabe’s words indicate
A. The little girl behaved well. B. It’s not easy to care for kids.
C. Kids usually listen to parents. D. The girl’s mother was to blame.
7. Which of the following words can best describe Gabe
A. Talented and humble. B. Hard-working and honest.
C. Ambitious and adventurous. D. Warm-hearted and understanding.
C
In the record of human history, few subjects have generated as much excitement, debate, and guess as artificial intelligence (AI). This revolutionary technology, which enables machines to perform tasks that once required human intelligence, has the potential to transform every part of our society, from healthcare and finance to transportation and entertainment.
At its heart, AI is all about data. Massive amounts of data are fed into algorithms that learn from this data, allowing them to make predictions, recognize patterns, and even make decisions. This “machine learning” is the driving force behind many of the AI applications we see today, from virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa to more advanced systems like IBM’s Watson, which can analyze vast amounts of information to assist doctors in diagnosing diseases.
The transformative potential of AI is undeniable. In the medical field, for instance, AI can assist in early detection of diseases, predict patient outcomes, and even suggest treatment options. In finance, algorithms can predict stock market trends, and provide personalized financial advice. In transportation, self-driving cars equipped with AI systems promise to reduce accidents, ease traffic jams, and transform urban landscapes.
However, with great potential comes great responsibility. The rise of AI has caused debates about its ethical implications (道德含义). The machines are only as good as the data they are fed, and there’s a growing concern about biases (偏见) being built into AI systems. For instance, facial recognition technologies, used in everything from unlocking phones to police monitoring cameras, have come under check for misidentifying individuals based on race or gender.
Moreover, the widespread adoption of AI could lead to significant job displacement. While new roles and industries might emerge as a result of AI, it is not sure that these will pay off the jobs lost. This could increase income inequalities and causes difficulties to social systems.
Another major concern is the “black box” nature of AI. Many Al systems operate in ways that even their creators don’t fully understand. This can be problematic, especially in critical applications like healthcare or criminal justice where understanding the logic behind a decision is important.
Then there’s the potential for Al to be weaponized. In the hands of evil actors, AI could be used to spread misinformation, control public opinion, or even engage in internet warfare. The global community must come together to set standards and regulations to prevent such misuse.
On the brighter side, many experts believe that by setting the right frameworks and investing in education and retraining, we can use the power of AI for the greater good. By fostering (促进) a culture of continuous learning and staying abreast (并排的，并肩的) of technological advancements, society can benefit from the promise of AI while avoiding its potential dangers.
In conclusion, artificial intelligence stands as one of the most profound inventions of our time. While it offers vast opportunities, it also poses significant challenges that we, as a society, must welcome. As we stand at this technological crossroads, our choices will determine whether AI serves as a benefit or a harm for humanity.
8. In what way does AI acquire the capability to perform tasks that traditionally required human intelligence
A. By programming predefined rules.
B. Through user interactions every day.
C. By swallowing and processing vast amounts of data.
D. Via regular software updates from developers.
9. In the context of the article, how does the author primarily demonstrate the effect of artificial intelligence
A. By citing numerous statistical data.
B. By presenting both the positive potential and the challenges of AI.
C. Through personal experiences.
D. By focusing on the negative effects of Al.
10. What can we learn from the passage
A. Al has already replaced most human jobs and is the leading cause of unemployment.
B. The global community has taken measures to prevent AI misuse.
C. The operation of many AI systems is easily understood by their creators.
D. The solving to the dilemma brought by AI needs co llective efforts of our society.
11. Which of the following is the best title
A. The Rise of Virtual Assistants: Siri and Alexa
B. Understanding the Mechanisms Behind AI Algorithms
C. Artificial Intelligence: Charting the Course for Tomorrow’s Tech
D. Balancing the Potential and challenges of AI in Modern Society
D

●Maximize fresh air

Cleaning your home is helpful. But Pruitt warns that “____19____.” She advises, “Read the labels and select safer products when you can.”

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。
“This Saturday, we’ll be visiting cats at the animal shelter. If you’d like to join us, here’s an application form”, said Ms. Delgado, the school librarian who had held the reading engagement event for students.
Ben loved cats and he had always wanted one, so he hurried to take an application form. Then Ms. Delgado added, “We’ll be reading to the cats and award readers who make most progress.” Ben stopped. Reading al oud can be a challenging task. Ben might feel his heart racing, his palms sweating, and his voice shaking as he read. He might stumble over words or lose his place in the text. He might feel like everyone was watching him and judging him. Still, he really wanted to visit the cats, so he took an application form anyway.
On Saturday, Ben arrived at the shelter with some of his classmates. “This is Max,” the shelter worker told Ben as she handed him a gray cat. Ben carried Max to a beanbag chair and sat down. Max settled onto his lap. He took a book he’d been working on and started reading. Max, very different from other cats walking around the room while the kids read, purred (发出呼噜声) on his lap as if he had understood what Ben read.
“I’m glad Max is staying and listening to my reading and he is the best cat ever,” Ben told Dad excitedly. “I’m glad you two are friends,” Dad said. All week, Ben’s heart was filled with anxiety as he waited for Saturday to arrive. He was eager to read to Max and the anticipation of spending time with his feline (猫咪的) friend made him restless and nervous. When it arrived, Ben got to read to Max again.
“What if someone adopts Max ” Ben asked Dad later. “I guess you’d read to a different cat,” Dad said. “But I don’t want a different cat. I wish we could adopt Max,” Ben said to Dad. He knew they couldn’t because Mom had allergies (过敏). Ben loved the cat so much that he even told his next-door neighbor, Mrs. Patel, about Max. “Max sounds like a special cat,” said Mrs. Patel.
注意：
1.续写词数应为 150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Week by week, Ben realized that reading seemed easier with Max’s company.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
But on Saturday, Ben couldn’t find Max at the shelter.

On a cold February evening, while her mother slept peacefully, a kid slipped out of her home and into the darkened streets of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Dressed only in a T-shirt, socks and a diaper (尿布), the 3-year-old girl wandered around the abandoned parking lots of the city’s southwest side all by herself. She was cold and almost certainly afraid, but most of all, she was not safe. Thankfully, the right person saw her out alone and knew something wasn’t right.
Gabe Botello was delivering pizzas for Villa Pizza when he saw the unattended child at around 3: 00 am. He caught sight of her in the McConnell parking lot, but by the time he’d dropped off the food to his clients and retraced his steps, she had disappeared into the night.
A father of three kids himself, Gabe refused to go back to work until he located the little girl. He started pulling into empty parking lots to search for her. He finally spotted her curling up (蜷缩) between two walls at a factory across the street.
The concerned father jumped out of his car, pulled off his coat and wrapped her up to keep her warm. He put her into his car and gave her some water while he called 911.
The police arrived and were able to locate the kid’s home, where they discovered her mother was sound asleep and thought her daughter was, too. Gabe didn’t judge the child’s mother, and he hoped no one else would, either. He said, “As a parent, I know that children are quick and don’t always listen when they are told what’s best for them.”
Gabe not only did the right thing by finding the child and calling the police, but his level-headed and compassionate response to her mother warms our heart. It truly does take a village sometimes to take good care of a child, and we’re so glad this experienced dad was there when a child needed him most:
4. What was the girl’s mother doing when she was in the parking lots

In the record of human history, few subjects have generated as much excitement, debate, and guess as artificial intelligence (AI). This revolutionary technology, which enables machines to perform tasks that once required human intelligence, has the potential to transform every part of our society, from healthcare and finance to transportation and entertainment.
At its heart, AI is all about data. Massive amounts of data are fed into algorithms that learn from this data, allowing them to make predictions, recognize patterns, and even make decisions. This “machine learning” is the driving force behind many of the AI applications we see today, from virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa to more advanced systems like IBM’s Watson, which can analyze vast amounts of information to assist doctors in diagnosing diseases.
The transformative potential of AI is undeniable. In the medical field, for instance, AI can assist in early detection of diseases, predict patient outcomes, and even suggest treatment options. In finance, algorithms can predict stock market trends, and provide personalized financial advice. In transportation, self-driving cars equipped with AI systems promise to reduce accidents, ease traffic jams, and transform urban landscapes.
However, with great potential comes great responsibility. The rise of AI has caused debates about its ethical implications (道德含义). The machines are only as good as the data they are fed, and there’s a growing concern about biases (偏见) being built into AI systems. For instance, facial recognition technologies, used in everything from unlocking phones to police monitoring cameras, have come under check for misidentifying individuals based on race or gender.
Moreover, the widespread adoption of AI could lead to significant job displacement. While new roles and industries might emerge as a result of AI, it is not sure that these will pay off the jobs lost. This could increase income inequalities and causes difficulties to social systems.
Another major concern is the “black box” nature of AI. Many Al systems operate in ways that even their creators don’t fully understand. This can be problematic, especially in critical applications like healthcare or criminal justice where understanding the logic behind a decision is important.
Then there’s the potential for Al to be weaponized. In the hands of evil actors, AI could be used to spread misinformation, control public opinion, or even engage in internet warfare. The global community must come together to set standards and regulations to prevent such misuse.
On the brighter side, many experts believe that by setting the right frameworks and investing in education and retraining, we can use the power of AI for the greater good. By fostering (促进) a culture of continuous learning and staying abreast (并排的，并肩的) of technological advancements, society can benefit from the promise of AI while avoiding its potential dangers.
In conclusion, artificial intelligence stands as one of the most profound inventions of our time. While it offers vast opportunities, it also poses significant challenges that we, as a society, must welcome. As we stand at this technological crossroads, our choices will determine whether AI serves as a benefit or a harm for humanity.
8. In what way does AI acquire the capability to perform tasks that traditionally required human intelligence
A. By programming predefined rules.
B. Through user interactions every day.
C. By swallowing and processing vast amounts of data.
D. Via regular software updates from developers.
9. In the context of the article, how does the author primarily demonstrate the effect of artificial intelligence
A. By citing numerous statistical data.
B. By presenting both the positive potential and the challenges of AI.
C. Through personal experiences.
D. By focusing on the negative effects of Al.

B. The global community has taken measures to prevent AI misuse.
C. The operation of many AI systems is easily understood by their creators.
D. The solving to the dilemma brought by AI needs co llective efforts of our society.

Poor indoor air quality can have health consequences that range from disease of the eyes, nose and throat to headaches and dizziness. It’s also linked to respiratory (呼吸的) and heart disease. ____16____.
●Maximize fresh air
Katherine Pruitt, National Senior Director for Policy at the American Lung Association, offers three basic steps you can take to make your air better at home. ____17____. She says, “Let fresh air from outside in.” This means that opening up your windows is often the simplest way to disperse anything bad that may be accumulating inside. If you have a central air conditioner, running it can be a good way to bring in outside air.
It may make sense to use a fan to improve indoor air quality. For instance, you might place one near an open window to help exhaust indoor air to the outdoors.
●____18____
The second thing you can do is called source control, which is keeping sources of pollutants out of the indoor environment if you can, says Pruitt.
It can be as simple, Pruitt says, as leaving your dry cleaning outside long enough to air the harmful chemicals out.
Cleaning your home is helpful. But Pruitt warns that “____19____.” She advises, “Read the labels and select safer products when you can.”
●Purify (净化) the air
Finally, if necessary, the third thing you can try to improve your air is purification. For instance, if you want to remove airborne particles like smoke, dust and germs, ____20____. “For homes with air conditioners,” says Pruitt, “you have a purifier that you’re supposed to be changing regularly.”
A. Prevent the air pollution
B. Control the source of the pollutants
C. you should focus on the air quality

考查非谓语动词。句意：该国计划在 2030 年左右执行一项从火星带回样本的任务，并在未来四年内执行三次月球探测任务。因空白处表示的是一个指向将来的不确定的动作，此处用动词不定式作后置定语，修饰 mission，故填 to bring。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：中国在 2003 年进行了首次载人航天任务，成为继前苏联和美国之后第三个利用自身资源将人送入太空的国家。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作状语，使用非谓语动词，因空白处表示的是一个自然而然的结果，应用现在分词作结果状语，故填 becoming。

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。
“This Saturday, we’ll be visiting cats at the animal shelter. If you’d like to join us, here’s an application form”, said Ms. Delgado, the school librarian who had held the reading engagement event for students.
Ben loved cats and he had always wanted one, so he hurried to take an application form. Then Ms. Delgado added, “We’ll be reading to the cats and award readers who make most progress.” Ben stopped. Reading al oud can be a challenging task. Ben might feel his heart racing, his palms sweating, and his voice shaking as he read. He might stumble over words or lose his place in the text. He might feel like everyone was watching him and judging him. Still, he really wanted to visit the cats, so he took an application form anyway.
On Saturday, Ben arrived at the shelter with some of his classmates. “This is Max,” the shelter worker told Ben as she handed him a gray cat. Ben carried Max to a beanbag chair and sat down. Max settled onto his lap. He took a book he’d been working on and started reading. Max, very different from other cats walking around the room while the kids read, purred (发出呼噜声) on his lap as if he had understood what Ben read.
“I’m glad Max is staying and listening to my reading and he is the best cat ever,” Ben told Dad excitedly. “I’m glad you two are friends,” Dad said. All week, Ben’s heart was filled with anxiety as he waited for Saturday to arrive. He was eager to read to Max and the anticipation of spending time with his feline (猫咪的) friend made him restless and nervous. When it arrived, Ben got to read to Max again.
“What if someone adopts Max ” Ben asked Dad later. “I guess you’d read to a different cat,” Dad said. “But I don’t want a different cat. I wish we could adopt Max,” Ben said to Dad. He knew they couldn’t because Mom had allergies (过敏). Ben loved the cat so much that he even told his next-door neighbor, Mrs. Patel, about Max. “Max sounds like a special cat,” said Mrs. Patel.
注意：

But on Saturday, Ben couldn’t find Max at the shelter.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Week by week, Ben realized that reading seemed easier with Max’s company. The presence of the gray cat made him feel more relaxed and comfortable. He noticed that Max’s purring had a calming effect on him, allowing him to focus better on the words in front of him. Ben was amazed by how much he enjoyed reading aloud to Max. Still, he was surprised when Ms. Delgado gave him the Most Improved Reader award. Ben felt a sense of pride and accomplishment as he held the certificate in his hands. He couldn’t wait to show it to Max.
But on Saturday, Ben couldn’t find Max at the shelter. He looked around the room, hoping to catch a glimpse of his feline friend. However, Max was nowhere to be found. Ben’s heart sank as he realized that someone might have adopted Max. Just then, Mrs. Patel walked into the visitors’ room, carrying Max. “I’m adopting him,” Mrs. Patel said. “You can come over every day to read to him.” Hearing what Mrs. Patel said, Ben jumped with excitement and threw his arms around Mrs. Patel. Of course, he didn’t forget to hug Max tightly who gave a contented purr.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Ben去动物收容所时，给一只名叫Max的猫读书，发现它好像听得懂似得，于是Ben提出想收养Max，但他妈妈有过敏症。他甚至告诉了他的邻居Patel太太关于Max的事。一周又一周，Ben意识到有了Max的陪伴，读书似乎变得更容易了，Ben还被老师授予“最进步读者奖”。Ben想去收容所告诉Max得奖的事情，却得知Max被收养了，结果原来是邻居Patel太太收养了Max。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“一周又一周，本意识到有马克斯的陪伴读书似乎更容易了。”可知，第一段可描写Ben在Max的陪伴下，朗读能力获得很大的提升，并获得老师的奖励。
②由第二段首句内容“但是星期六，本在收容所找不到马克斯。”可知，第二段可描写Ben找不到Max的感受，以及最后知道Patel太太收养了Max后的反应。
2. 续写线索：老师安排去给猫读书——遇到Max——想收养Max但是不行——发现自己在Max陪伴下朗读能力提高——获得进步奖——想告诉Max——Max不见了——得知Max被Patel收养——高兴。
3. 词汇激活
行为类
①注意到：notice/perceive/note
②集中注意力：focus on/concentrate on/throw oneself into
③走近：walk into/ step into
情绪类
①惊讶的：amazed/surprised/astounded。

[高分句型2]Of course, he didn’t forget to hug Max tightly who gave a contented purr. (who引导的定语从句)
