A
The best way to really see a city is to explore it slowly by walking around. It’s easy, healthy, and also benefits the environment. When on foot, you can do as the locals do. Here’s what you can find under your own steam.
Best for families: Planetenweg, Zurich
The 2,854 ft-tall, forest-covered peak that towers from Zurich’s doorstep is the envy of every European city. To get there, try the four-mile, two-hour-long route on Planetenweg. This family-friendly wander cuts in and out of spruce forests and gives you a proper flavour of being up in the mountains without ever actually leaving the city.
Best for arty vistas: Ekebergparken, Oslo
Come at sunrise or sunset, when the sky blazes above shining fjords (峡湾) and transforms the dark, rocky islands into shadows, and you can see why Oslo’s Ekebergparken inspired Munch to paint The Scream. Starting at the Ekebergparken Museum, the two-mile sculpture trail (小道) winds through pine, fir and ash forest, where plenty of phenomenal works of art await — Dalí’s surrealist Venus de Milo with Drawers and Damien Hirst’s Anatomy of an Angel among them.
Best for getting off the beaten track: Vienna Ugly, Vienna
The guided walks led by locals across Vienna dive into neighbourhoods that are off the usual tourist trail. Among them is Vienna Ugly, a 2.5-hour wander through Leopoldstadt and Innere Stadt. At the end of the tour, you’ll vote on which of the city’s buildings are the ugliest. Tours from 9.
Best for architecture: restad, Copenhagen
Copenhagen rode high as World Capital of Architecture 2023. A guided walk with the Danish Architecture Center throw you in at the architectural deep end for 2.5 hours, taking you to Copenhagen’s restad neighbourhood on the island of Amager. From 18.
1. What attracts travelers to Planetenweg
A. Mountains. B. Local flavour. C. Art works. D. Architecture.
2. Which of the following best suits sculpture-lovers
A. Planetenweg, Zurich, B. Ekebergparken, Oslo.
C. Vienna Ugly, Vienna. D. restad, Copenhagen.
3. What do the walks in Vienna and Copenhagen have in common
A. They are free of charge. B. They feature a voting activity.
C. They are guided tours. D. They go deep into the forests.
【答案】1. A 2. B 3. C
【解析】

【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章Best for families: Planetenweg, Zurich部分“This family-friendly wander cuts in and out of spruce forests and gives you a proper flavour of being up in the mountains without ever actually leaving the city.(这种适合家庭的漫步穿越云杉林，让你在不离开城市的情况下，有一种在山上的感觉。)”可知，吸引游客到Planetenweg的地方在于其高山，让你有一种在山上的感觉，故选A。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章Best for arty vistas: Ekebergparken, Oslo部分“Starting at the Ekebergparken Museum, the two-mile sculpture trail (小道) winds through pine, fir and ash forest, where plenty of phenomenal works of art await—Dalí’s surrealist Venus de Milo with Drawers and Damien Hirst’s Anatomy of an Angel among them.(从Ekebergparken博物馆开始，两英尺长的雕塑之路蜿蜒穿过松树、冷杉和灰林，在那里有大量非凡的艺术作品等着你，比如说Dalí的超越现实主义的《带抽屉的米洛维纳斯》和Damien Hirst的《天使解剖》。)”可知，最适合雕像爱好者的是Ekebergparken, Oslo，故选B。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章Best for getting off the beaten track: Vienna Ugly, Vienna部分“The guided walks led by locals across Vienna dive into neighbourhoods(由当地人带领的步行穿过维也纳，深入到所在的街区)”和Best for architecture: restad, Copenhagen部分“A guided walk with the Danish Architecture Center throw you in at the architectural deep end for 2.5 hours(在导游的带领下在丹麦建筑中心步行2.5小时)”可知，在Vienna和Copenhagen步行的共同点在于都有人带领着游览，故选C。
B
I was 10 when I saw my first total solar eclipse (日食). It was 1979 and we were staying in Canada, where my dad worked for a time as a welder (焊工). He was a great science enthusiast and had been talking about this eclipse for what seemed like years. He just didn’t tell me and my brother that we would have to get up at daybreak and head out into the freezing February weather to experience this event.
Dad told us we were lucky even to be near the path of totality, and noted that unless we were prepared to travel extensively, our next chance to see a total solar eclipse likely wouldn’t happen until the 21st century. So, we rode in moody silence out to some field where loads of other people were wandering about, waiting in the cold for their moment in the sun’s absence.
My brother complained that we wouldn’t really be able to look at the eclipse without being blinded. But my dad, who generally thought of everything, produced two awkward welding masks (面罩), which he fitted to our heads. The masks preserved our eyesight, and also quietened our grousing. It’s hard to know which feature of the masks my dad appreciated more.
Soon, it didn’t matter. The moon passed between us and the sun. The lights of the world dimmed, then went dark. There was a collective “Oooooh!” from the crowd. Some people even screamed. My brother simply said, “Whoa.” And he spoke for all of us down through the ages who have been struck by the awe and wonder of a total solar eclipse. You can read more about humanity’s encounters with some of the great eclipses in history with our story on page 40.
My dad did not live to see another eclipse, but he’ll be with me in spirit when I view the next one this April, right around the time you’re reading this. I hope you get to see it, too.
Stephen C. George, Editorial Director

【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“He just didn’t tell me and my brother that we would have to get up at daybreak and head out into the freezing February weather to experience this event.”（他只是没有告诉我和弟弟，我们必须在黎明起床，冒着寒冷的二月天气去体验这个活动。）和第二段“So, we rode in moody silence out to some field”（于是，我们郁郁寡欢地驱车来到一片田野）可知，去看日食需要在寒冷的黎明起床，作者兄弟二人一路上都是郁郁寡欢，情绪不佳，可见起初对此不太情愿。故选A。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“My brother complained that we wouldn’t really be able to look at the eclipse without being blinded.”（我弟弟抱怨说，如果眼睛没被弄瞎，我们就不能真的看见日食。）可知，弟弟担心看日食会伤眼睛，为此而抱怨；结合划线词所在句“The masks preserved our eyesight, and also quietened our grousing.”（面具保护了我们的视力，也平息了我们的grousing。）可知，父亲为他们做了一个面罩，既保护了他们的视力，也平息了他们之前的抱怨。A. Fear.害怕；B. Doubts.怀疑；C. Complaining.抱怨；D. Screaming.尖叫。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“There was a collective “Oooooh!” from the crowd. Some people even screamed. My brother simply said, “Whoa.” ”（“哇哦！”人群中传来这样的声音。一些人甚至尖叫起来。我弟弟只是说:“哇。”）可知，作者是通过对人们看到日食时所发出的声音这种感觉细节的描写，来展现人们当时的惊叹的。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Feel free to send comments and questions to editorial@.”（请随时将评论和问题发送到editorial@。）和全文内容可知，本文是作者在网上分享的一篇自己儿时看日食的一段经历的描述，故应该是作者写的一篇博文。故选A。
C
A new drug-delivery system could replace needles with puffs (股) of air. Gassensmith studies bioengineering at the University of Texas. His team’s new tech goes beyond patient comfort, though. The device quickly delivers drugs without touching the bloodstream. And that could reduce the risk of spreading disease. He tested it out on his own arm. “I could feel it, but it wasn’t painful,” he reports.
The technology works by blowing in a puff of air through the skin. That gas carries a powder made of tiny bits of vaccine (疫苗) wrapped in metallic crystals (晶体). The crystal coating is really strong, Gassensmith says. As a result, the vaccine powder does not have to be refrigerated while stored. The air contains carbon dioxide, or CO2. Once in the body, the CO2 that carries the powder will mix with water. It creates a weak acid that breaks down the crystal cover. Released, the vaccine bits are then able to enter the bloodstream.
This gas-based drug-delivery system is an upgrade over previous ones. For instance, adjusting the gas that carries the vaccine powder can customize how fast the tiny crystal capsules release the drug. Testing showed that the drug released fastest when delivered with carbon dioxide. Plain air led to a slower, gentler release. Vaccines work best when released slowly. That allows them longer contact with the immune(免疫) system. But the team hopes the device could work for other medicines too. And some medicines must be released quickly. One such example is insulin, a crucial drug for many people with diabetes.
Fear of needles keeps many people from getting vaccinations. Gassensmith is optimistic that this new system might get around that. Future research must ensure that gas-delivered vaccines build immunity to disease as expected, said Weniger, a doctor, who studied vaccine technology for 30 years for the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
8. What can we learn about the new drug-delivery system from paragraph 1
A. It causes the loss of feeling. B. It improves the use of needle.
C. It cares about patient comfort. D. It blocks the spread of disease.
9. What is the function of the crystals
A. To create a weak acid. B. To absorb carbon dioxide.
C. To clean the bloodstream. D. To contain the vaccine.
10 What is the advantage of the upgraded drug-delivery system
A. Flexibility. B. Durability. C. High speed. D. Gentle release.
11. What should the future study focus on according to Weniger
A. The effectiveness of gas-based vaccines. B. The acceptance of getting vaccinations.
C. The influence of vaccine on disease control. D. The operation of the new drug-delivery system.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新发明的注射器，它可以利用气体将疫苗送入血液，从而减少打针的痛苦。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“His team’s new tech goes beyond patient comfort, though.(他团队的新技术超出病人的舒适度。)以及“ He tested it out on his own arm. “I could feel it, but it wasn’t painful,” he reports.(他在自己手臂上来测试这个注射器。“我能感觉到它，但并不痛。”)”可知，这一种新的药物输送系统会关心人的舒适度，减轻打针的痛苦，故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“That gas carries a powder made of tiny bits of vaccine (疫苗) wrapped in metallic crystals (晶体). The crystal coating is really strong, Gassensmith says. As a result, the vaccine powder does not have to be refrigerated while stored.(这种气体携带一种由包裹在金属晶体中的微小疫苗制成的粉末。Gassensmith说道，这种晶体涂层非常坚固，因此，疫苗粉末在储存时是不需要冷藏的。)”可知，晶体是用来包裹疫苗粉末的，故其作用是储存疫苗，故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“This gas-based drug-delivery system is an upgrade over previous ones. For instance, adjusting the gas that carries the vaccine powder can customize how fast the tiny crystal capsules release the drug.(这种基于气体的药物输送系统是对以前系统的升级。例如，调整携带疫苗粉末的气体可以定制微小晶体胶囊释放药物的速度。)”可知，这种新升级的药物输送系统的优势在于其调整气体可以定制微小晶体胶囊释放药物的速度，故其优势在于它的灵活性，故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Future research must ensure that gas-delivered vaccines build immunity to disease as expected, said Weniger, a doctor, who studied vaccine technology for 30 years for the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.(为美国疾病控制和预防中心研究疫苗技术30年的Weniger医生说道：“未来的研究必须确保气体输送疫苗能够如预期那样建立对疾病的免疫力。”)”可知，根据Weniger，他认为未来的研究要确保气体输送疫苗能够如预期那样建立对疾病的免疫力，故其主要关注气体输送疫苗的有效性，故选A。
D
When you try a new restaurant or book a hotel, do you consider the online reviews Do you submit online reviews yourself Do you pay attention if they are filtered (过滤) Does that impact your own online review submissions
In 2010, Yelp shared a video to help users understand how its review filter works and why it was necessary. In recently published research, T. Ravichandran, Ph. D. from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and his team compared reviews of over 1,000 restaurants on Yelp to those same restaurants on TripAdvisor, which did not openly share its review filter policies. They found that the number of reviews submitted to Yelp decreased. Those submissions were increasingly negative and shorter in length compared to TripAdvisor. Also, the more positive a review, the shorter it was.
“Platforms are pressured to have content guidelines and take measures to prevent fraud (欺诈) and ensure that reviews are reliable and helpful,” said Ravichandran. Platforms use advanced software to flag and filter reviews. Once a review is flagged, it is filtered out and not displayed, and it is not factored into the overall rating for a business. “However, most platforms do not openly disclose their policies, leading consumers to suspect that reviews are controlled to increase profit by filtering so-called dishonest content,” Ravichandran added.
Whether or not to disclose review filters is a critical decision for platforms with many considerations. Users may put less time and effort into their reviews if they suspect that they have a significant chance of being filtered, or they may do the opposite to make their reviews less likely to be filtered. Since most false reviews are overly positive, users may assume that positive reviews are most likely to be filtered and act accordingly.
“Review moderation(审核) openness comes at a cost”said Ravichandran. “Although openness helps to position a platform as fair toward advertisers, the resultant decrease in the number of reviews submitted impacts the platform’s usefulness to consumers.” Online reviews pose great opportunity for firms, but also raise complex questions. Platforms must earn the trust of users without sacrificing engagement.
12. What did Ravichandran’s research find
A. Positive submissions to Yelp went up.
B. TripAdvisor adopted better filter policies.
C. Reviews on TripAdvisor dropped in number.
D. Yelp’s practice discouraged longer reviews.
13. Why do platforms use advanced software for reviews
A. To increase net profit. B. To protect user privacy.
C. To guarantee review reliability. D. To improve business reputation.
14. What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Users. B. Reviews. C. Considerations. D. Platforms.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Enhance User Trust Through Review Moderation
B. To Filter Online Reviews Think Before You Start
C. How Review Moderation Openness Shapes User Conduct
D. Online Reviews: Filter the Fraud, But Don’t Tell Us How
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Yelp公开了其评论过滤，从而导致用户的评论熟练减少，且提交的内容越来越负面，篇幅越来越短，并说明评论审核公开是需要代价的，因此平台需要在不牺牲用户参与度的情况下来赢得用户的信任。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“In 2010, Yelp shared a video to help users understand how its review filter works and why it was necessary. In recently published research, T. Ravichandran, Ph. D. from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and his team compared reviews of over 1,000 restaurants on Yelp to those same restaurants on TripAdvisor, which did not openly share its review filter policies. They found that the number of reviews submitted to Yelp decreased. Those submissions were increasingly negative and shorter in length compared to TripAdvisor. Also, the more positive a review, the shorter it was.(2010年，Yelp分享了一段视频，帮助用户了解其评论过滤器的工作原理以及为什么它是必要的。在最近发表的研究中，Rensselaer工学院的T. Ravichandran博士和他的团队将Yelp上1000多家餐厅的评论与TripAdvisor上相同餐厅的评论进行了比较，TripAdvisor没有公开分享其评论过滤政策。他们发现，提交给Yelp的评论数量有所减少，与TripAdvisor相比，这些提交的内容越来越负面，篇幅也越来越短。此外，评论越积极，篇幅就越短。)”可知，Yelp在分享了其评论过滤器的工作原理及它的重要性的视频后，提交给Yelp的评论数量有所减少，且提交的内容越来越负面，篇幅越来越短，故可推知，Yelp的操作阻碍了较长评论的产生，故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Platforms use advanced software to flag and filter reviews. Once a review is flagged, it is filtered out and not displayed, and it is not factored into the overall rating for a business.(平台使用先进的软件来标记和过滤评论。一旦评论被标记了，它就会被过滤而不显示，也就不会计入企业的整体评价中去。)”可知，平台使用先进的软件是为了标记并过滤一些评论，从而不影响其整体评价，故最终目的是为了提升企业名声，故选D。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第四段“Users may put less time and effort into their reviews if they suspect that they have a significant chance of being filtered, or they may do the opposite to make their reviews less likely to be filtered.(如果用户怀疑自己的评论很有可能被过滤，他们可能会在评论中投入更少的时间和精力，或者他们可能会采取相反的做法，使评论不太可能被过滤。)”可知，根据划线词they前文的内容“their reviews”后文的内容“or they may do the opposite to make their reviews less likely to be filtered.(或者他们可能会采取相反的做法，使评论不太可能被过滤。)”可知，此处的they指代前文的their reviews，指用户怀疑自己的评论有可能被过滤，故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“In 2010, Yelp shared a video to help users understand how its review filter works and why it was necessary. In recently published research, T. Ravichandran, Ph. D. from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and his team compared reviews of over 1,000 restaurants on Yelp to those same restaurants on TripAdvisor, which did not openly share its review filter policies.

The Surprising Strength of “Weak” Social Ties
It’s long been known that a community of supportive relationships improves our quality of life and can even help us recover from illness. ____16____. Regularly interacting with a wide variety of social ties, both “weak” and “strong”, enhances our satisfaction. A rich diversity of ties provides more significant benefits to well-being, and “weak” social ties can prove just as important to life satisfaction as core, or “strong” ties. ____17____. There you can find the people who cheer, serve, support, comfort, educate, motivate, and entertain you.
Claire gets cheered up by going to the library and chatting with her favorite librarian every week. Sherry gets great joy from her Sunday breakfasts at a local diner because the manager and her favorite waitress are nice to her. ____18____. I remember discussing Anna Karenina on an airplane with a wise economics professor, and finding meaningful moments of joy with street musicians and performers.
____19____. When you show kindness to a stranger, your seemingly small act might stay in their memory as a source of support and positivity. Everyone needs to feel significant in the eyes of another. You could be that person for someone in your extended circle. That’s why it’s so important to reach out to people around you, especially when they’re going through hard times.
When we feel blue or lonely, we tend to turn down social engagements, either to avoid the imagined embarrassment of being the only sad person in a group or because socializing with people we don’t know well can be awkward at first. ____20____. Being open to both our strong and weak ties allows us to benefit from the comfort, connection, and community they provide.
A. All of those connections matter — and so do you
B. Harvard researcher Hanne Collins discovered something new
C. Even those we meet only once can leave a lasting impression
D. Our shared kindness and familiarity offer me a sense of community
E. Interacting with the weak ties encourages us to behave more professionally
F. But saying yes, despite the hesitation, offers an opportunity to feel less lonely
G. So notice, pay attention to, and be grateful for your big, wide world of loose social ties
【答案】16. B 17. G 18. C 19. A 20. F
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了“弱”社会关系的惊人的力量。
【16题详解】
根据空前“It’s long been known that a community of supportive relationships improves our quality of life and can even help us recover from illness.(人们早就知道，一个有着支持关系的社区能提高我们的生活质量，甚至可以帮助我们从疾病中恢复过来。)”和空后“Regularly interacting with a wide variety of social ties, both “weak” and “strong”, enhances our satisfaction.(经常与各种各样的社会关系互动，包括“弱”和“强”的关系，能提高我们的满意度。)”可知，空前是说明的有着支持关系的社区能提高我们的生活质量的道理是人们很早就知道的，而空后不论强或弱的社会关系，都能提高我们的满意度是一种新的理论，故B项“哈佛的研究者Hanne Collins发现了一些新的东西”符合，引出后文的新理论，故选B项。
【17题详解】
根据空前“A rich diversity of ties provides more significant benefits to well-being, and “weak” social ties can prove just as important to life satisfaction as core, or “strong” ties.(丰富多样的关系为幸福感提供了更显著的好处，而“弱”的社会关系对生活满意度的重要性与核心的或“强”的关系一样重要。)”可知，空前提到了“弱”的社会关系与“强”的社会关系同等重要，故G项“因此，请关注并感激你广阔而松散的社会关系世界。”符合，与空前构成因果关系，“弱”的社会关系很重要，因此要关注并感激你那松散的社会关系，故选G项。
【18题详解】
根据空后“I remember discussing Anna Karenina on an airplane with a wise economics professor, and finding meaningful moments of joy with street musicians and performers.(我记得在飞机上与一位睿智的经济学教授讨论Anna Karenina，并与街头音乐家和表演家一起寻找有意义的欢乐时刻。)”可知，空后提出了作者与经济学家和街头音乐家、表演家见一次面的经历，故C项“甚至那些我们只见过一面的人也能给我们留下长久的印象。”符合，引出后文只见过一面的经济学家和街头音乐家、表演家，故选C项。
【19题详解】
根据空后“When you show kindness to a stranger, your seemingly small act might stay in their memory as a source of support and positivity. Everyone needs to feel significant in the eyes of another. You could be that person for someone in your extended circle.(当你对一个陌生人表现出善意时，你看似微不足道的行为可能会作为支持和积极的源泉，留在他们的记忆里。每个人都需要在别人眼中感到重要。你可以成为你圈子里某个人的那个人。)”可知，空后提出了这些关系的重要性，对别人可以作为支持和积极的源泉，从而留在他们的记忆里，故A项“所有这些关系都很重要——你也是如此。”符合，这些关系很重要，当你对陌生人表现出善意时，可以作为他们记忆里支持和积极的源泉，故选A项。
【20题详解】
根据空前“When we feel blue or lonely, we tend to turn down social engagements, either to avoid the imagined embarrassment of being the only sad person in a group or because socializing with people we don’t know well can be awkward at first.(当我们感到沮丧或孤独时，我们往往会拒绝社交活动，要么是为了避免成为一个群体中唯一悲伤的人的尴尬，要么是因为与不熟悉的人的社交带来的尴尬。)”和空后“Being open to both our strong and weak ties allows us to benefit from the comfort, connection, and community they provide.(对我们强关系和弱关系持开放态度，可以让我们从他们提供的舒适感、联系和社区中受益。)”可知，空前提到当我们感到沮丧或孤独时，我们会拒绝社交活动，从而来避免尴尬；空后则提出了对强关系和弱关系持开放态度，故F项“尽管会犹豫，但说“是”能提供一个减少孤独感的机会。”符合，与空前构成转成关系，我们心情不好时，会避免社交，但接受社交能减少孤独的机会，故选F项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了在青藏高原上，三江源地区是长江、黄河和澜沧江的源头，拥有令人印象深刻的景观和各种野生动物，因此被称为亚洲的“水塔”。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意：在青藏高原上，三江源地区是长江、黄河和澜沧江的源头，拥有令人印象深刻的景观和各种野生动物，因此被称为亚洲的“水塔”。修饰名词landscape应用形容词impressive作定语。故填impressive。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在青藏高原上，三江源地区是长江、黄河和澜沧江的源头，拥有令人印象深刻的景观和各种野生动物，因此被称为亚洲的“水塔”。非限制性定语从句修饰先行词the Sanjiangyuan Region，先行词指物，关系词替代先行词在从句中作主语，用关系代词which。故填which。
【38题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：在过去的几十年里，这里脆弱的生态环境被当地人默默保护着。主语the delicate ecological environment与谓语动词preserve构成被动关系，根据上文In the past few decades可知为现在完成时的被动语态，助动词用has。故填has been preserved。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：为了保护三江源地区的水土，人们放弃了使用塑料制品。protect在句中作目的状语，应用不定式形式。故填to protect。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：2017年，当地民众利用玉树地震中废弃的地板、门窗，建造了一所零垃圾环保学校。此处desert与floors, doors and windows构成逻辑被动关系，故用过去分词作定语。故填deserted。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：2017年，当地民众利用玉树地震中废弃的地板、门窗，建造了一所零垃圾环保学校。此处school为泛指，且zero-waste是发音以辅音音素开头的单词，用不定冠词a。故填a。
【42题详解】
考查主语从句。句意：学校的独特之处在于内部装饰着回收的东西和二手家具。该空引导主语从句，从句缺少主语，指事物应用连接代词what，首字母大写。故填What。
【43题详解】
考查时态。句意：零垃圾学校也提醒当地人传统文化之美。根据上文And every old object has a special story.可知为一般现在时，主语为school，谓语用三单形式。故填reminds。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：随着“零废梦”的实现，世世代代生活在高原上的人们也重拾了文化自信。短语for generations表示“世世代代”。故填for。
【45题详解】

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。
Hettie’s eyes fell on a magazine she hadn’t noticed before in her bag. She took it out and read the Post-it note her mom had stuck to the cover.
Page 8! So Cool!
Love, Mom
Hettie smiled. Mom always slipped a little surprise into her bag. Hettie jumped onto her bed and wrapped herself in the blanket, opening the magazine to page eight straight. There was a huge ad: “DO YOU WANNA BE CALIFORNIA LEE’S BEST FRIEND FOREVER Make a video telling us how much you love her and you could win a day with Pop Teen’s rising star CALIFORNIA LEE!”
Hettie tried to see the Cally she had known through the makeup and the fancy clothes. Her eyes sparkled (闪烁) the same emerald green as they had in Hettie’s backyard when Cally told her the big news. “I got the part!” She sang out as she bounced up and down on the swing. Hettie had been excited, too. Cally had really wanted this part. It was in Rock Club, a TV musical on Pop Teen. It was, she said, how all of Pop Teen Channel’s stars started out.
Then the musical came out and Cally, now California Lee, was busy all the time. The last time the two girls had seen each other was at Cally’s birthday party. Even in her best dress and new shoes, Hettie felt out of place. Most of the kids at the party were actors. Big boxes with massive bows covered the birthday present table. Overwhelmed and feeling shy, Hettie took her gift—a flashlight, and sat in a corner. No one came to look for her until her mom arrived to pick her up. Soon after, Cally moved to Los Angeles with her family.
The next day, Hettie arrived at school earlier than usual, with the magazine under her arm, her book bag over her shoulder. After making sure that no one in the schoolyard was watching, Hettie dropped her bag on the ground and pulled out her phone.
注意：

Hettie’s heart sank as she realized that she wasn’t the winner.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
She held the phone as far as she could from her face and pressed record. Staring at the screen, she cautiously recorded what she wanted to say to Cally, recalling the backyard where Cally told her that big news and her sincere heartfelt blessings for her. She even expressed that she missed her so much that she wanted to go back to their old days when they were still good friends and shared everything with each other. At the end of the video, she conveyed that she genuinely wanted to win the day with her. Finally she submitted the video with great expectations. Several weeks later, when she saw Cally was having a day with a strange girl on TV, she knew everything.
Hettie’s heart sank as she realized that she wasn’t the winner. So sorrowful was she that she was weeping alone, with tears rolling down her face. She ran to her mother with doubts in heart. Seeing her painful look, her mother comforted her and told her that everyone has his or her own life at each stage, not the mention different friends. If we were their real friend, what we should do was to respect their decision and continue to bless her. Hearing her mother’s words, it dawned on her that she loved Cally from the heart, so she should respect Cally’s choice under any circumstances and send best wished to her, which was a good way to show her passion for their friendship.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Hettie想要赢得与已经成为明星的好友Cally共度一天的机会，参加了制作一个表达对Cally爱的视频的比赛，她满怀期待地精心制作了一个视频，但却没能赢得这个机会。在母亲的安慰下，她懂得了每个人在人生不同的阶段都有着各自的生活和朋友，我们唯一能做的就是尊重他们的选择，并发自内心地祝福他们。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“她尽量把手机拿得离脸远一点，按下了记录键。”可知，本段可描写Hettie录制视频的具体内容以及她如何得知自己输掉比赛的结果。
②由第二段首句内容“当Hettie意识到她没有赢的时候，她的心沉了下来。”可知，本段可描写她知道结果后很伤心，因此跑去找妈妈。在妈妈的安慰下，她懂得了尊重朋友的决定，并从内心祝福她的道理。
2.续写线索：按下记录键→在视频中表达了自己的思念和想法→得知比赛失败→伤心→母亲安慰→懂得道理

A
The best way to really see a city is to explore it slowly by walking around. It’s easy, healthy, and also benefits the environment. When on foot, you can do as the locals do. Here’s what you can find under your own steam.
Best for families: Planetenweg, Zurich
The 2,854 ft-tall, forest-covered peak that towers from Zurich’s doorstep is the envy of every European city. To get there, try the four-mile, two-hour-long route on Planetenweg. This family-friendly wander cuts in and out of spruce forests and gives you a proper flavour of being up in the mountains without ever actually leaving the city.
Best for arty vistas: Ekebergparken, Oslo
Come at sunrise or sunset, when the sky blazes above shining fjords (峡湾) and transforms the dark, rocky islands into shadows, and you can see why Oslo’s Ekebergparken inspired Munch to paint The Scream. Starting at the Ekebergparken Museum, the two-mile sculpture trail (小道) winds through pine, fir and ash forest, where plenty of phenomenal works of art await — Dalí’s surrealist Venus de Milo with Drawers and Damien Hirst’s Anatomy of an Angel among them.
Best for getting off the beaten track: Vienna Ugly, Vienna
The guided walks led by locals across Vienna dive into neighbourhoods that are off the usual tourist trail. Among them is Vienna Ugly, a 2.5-hour wander through Leopoldstadt and Innere Stadt. At the end of the tour, you’ll vote on which of the city’s buildings are the ugliest. Tours from 9.
Best for architecture: restad, Copenhagen
Copenhagen rode high as World Capital of Architecture 2023. A guided walk with the Danish Architecture Center throw you in at the architectural deep end for 2.5 hours, taking you to Copenhagen’s restad neighbourhood on the island of Amager. From 18.
1. What attracts travelers to Planetenweg
A. Mountains. B. Local flavour. C. Art works. D. Architecture.
2. Which of the following best suits sculpture-lovers
A. Planetenweg, Zurich, B. Ekebergparken, Oslo.
C. Vienna Ugly, Vienna. D. restad, Copenhagen.
3. What do the walks in Vienna and Copenhagen have in common
A They are free of charge. B. They feature a voting activity.
C. They are guided tours. D. They go deep into the forests.
B
I was 10 when I saw my first total solar eclipse (日食). It was 1979 and we were staying in Canada, where my dad worked for a time as a welder (焊工). He was a great science enthusiast and had been talking about this eclipse for what seemed like years. He just didn’t tell me and my brother that we would have to get up at daybreak and head out into the freezing February weather to experience this event.
Dad told us we were lucky even to be near the path of totality, and noted that unless we were prepared to travel extensively, our next chance to see a total solar eclipse likely wouldn’t happen until the 21st century. So, we rode in moody silence out to some field where loads of other people were wandering about, waiting in the cold for their moment in the sun’s absence.
My brother complained that we wouldn’t really be able to look at the eclipse without being blinded. But my dad, who generally thought of everything, produced two awkward welding masks (面罩), which he fitted to our heads. The masks preserved our eyesight, and also quietened our grousing. It’s hard to know which feature of the masks my dad appreciated more.
Soon, it didn’t matter. The moon passed between us and the sun. The lights of the world dimmed, then went dark. There was a collective “Oooooh!” from the crowd. Some people even screamed. My brother simply said, “Whoa.” And he spoke for all of us down through the ages who have been struck by the awe and wonder of a total solar eclipse. You can read more about humanity’s encounters with some of the great eclipses in history with our story on page 40.
My dad did not live to see another eclipse, but he’ll be with me in spirit when I view the next one this April, right around the time you’re reading this. I hope you get to see it, too.

A new drug-delivery system could replace needles with puffs (股) of air. Gassensmith studies bioengineering at the University of Texas. His team’s new tech goes beyond patient comfort, though. The device quickly delivers drugs without touching the bloodstream. And that could reduce the risk of spreading disease. He tested it out on his own arm. “I could feel it, but it wasn’t painful,” he reports.
The technology works by blowing in a puff of air through the skin. That gas carries a powder made of tiny bits of vaccine (疫苗) wrapped in metallic crystals (晶体). The crystal coating is really strong, Gassensmith says. As a result, the vaccine powder does not have to be refrigerated while stored. The air contains carbon dioxide, or CO2. Once in the body, the CO2 that carries the powder will mix with water. It creates a weak acid that breaks down the crystal cover. Released, the vaccine bits are then able to enter the bloodstream.
This gas-based drug-delivery system is an upgrade over previous ones. For instance, adjusting the gas that carries the vaccine powder can customize how fast the tiny crystal capsules release the drug. Testing showed that the drug released fastest when delivered with carbon dioxide. Plain air led to a slower, gentler release. Vaccines work best when released slowly. That allows them longer contact with the immune(免疫) system. But the team hopes the device could work for other medicines too. And some medicines must be released quickly. One such example is insulin, a crucial drug for many people with diabetes.
Fear of needles keeps many people from getting vaccinations. Gassensmith is optimistic that this new system might get around that. Future research must ensure that gas-delivered vaccines build immunity to disease as expected, said Weniger, a doctor, who studied vaccine technology for 30 years for the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
8. What can we learn about the new drug-delivery system from paragraph 1

When you try a new restaurant or book a hotel, do you consider the online reviews Do you submit online reviews yourself Do you pay attention if they are filtered (过滤) Does that impact your own online review submissions
In 2010, Yelp shared a video to help users understand how its review filter works and why it was necessary. In recently published research, T. Ravichandran, Ph. D. from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and his team compared reviews of over 1,000 restaurants on Yelp to those same restaurants on TripAdvisor, which did not openly share its review filter policies. They found that the number of reviews submitted to Yelp decreased. Those submissions were increasingly negative and shorter in length compared to TripAdvisor. Also, the more positive a review, the shorter it was.
“Platforms are pressured to have content guidelines and take measures to prevent fraud (欺诈) and ensure that reviews are reliable and helpful,” said Ravichandran. Platforms use advanced software to flag and filter reviews. Once a review is flagged, it is filtered out and not displayed, and it is not factored into the overall rating for a business. “However, most platforms do not openly disclose their policies, leading consumers to suspect that reviews are controlled to increase profit by filtering so-called dishonest content,” Ravichandran added.
Whether or not to disclose review filters is a critical decision for platforms with many considerations. Users may put less time and effort into their reviews if they suspect that they have a significant chance of being filtered, or they may do the opposite to make their reviews less likely to be filtered. Since most false reviews are overly positive, users may assume that positive reviews are most likely to be filtered and act accordingly.
“Review moderation(审核) openness comes at a cost,”said Ravichandran. “Although openness helps to position a platform as fair toward advertisers, the resultant decrease in the number of reviews submitted impacts the platform’s usefulness to consumers.” Online reviews pose great opportunity for firms, but also raise complex questions. Platforms must earn the trust of users without sacrificing engagement.
12. What did Ravichandran’s research find
A. Positive submissions to Yelp went up.
B. TripAdvisor adopted better filter policies.
C. Reviews on TripAdvisor dropped in number.
D. Yelp’s practice discouraged longer reviews.
13. Why do platforms use advanced software for reviews
A. To increase net profit. B. To protect user privacy.
C To guarantee review reliability. D. To improve business reputation.
14. What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. Users. B. Reviews. C. Considerations. D. Platforms.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Enhance User Trust Through Review Moderation
B. To Filter Online Reviews Think Before You Start
C. How Review Moderation Openness Shapes User Conduct
D. Online Reviews: Filter the Fraud, But Don’t Tell Us How

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。
Hettie’s eyes fell on a magazine she hadn’t noticed before in her bag. She took it out and read the Post-it note her mom had stuck to the cover.
Page 8! So Cool!
Love, Mom
Hettie smiled. Mom always slipped a little surprise into her bag. Hettie jumped onto her bed and wrapped herself in the blanket, opening the magazine to page eight straight. There was a huge ad: “DO YOU WANNA BE CALIFORNIA LEE’S BEST FRIEND FOREVER Make a video telling us how much you love her and you could win a day with Pop Teen’s rising star CALIFORNIA LEE!”
Hettie tried to see the Cally she had known through the makeup and the fancy clothes. Her eyes sparkled (闪烁) the same emerald green as they had in Hettie’s backyard when Cally told her the big news. “I got the part!” She sang out as she bounced up and down on the swing. Hettie had been excited, too. Cally had really wanted this part. It was in Rock Club, a TV musical on Pop Teen. It was, she said, how all of Pop Teen Channel’s stars started out.
Then the musical came out and Cally, now California Lee, was busy all the time. The last time the two girls had seen each other was at Cally’s birthday party. Even in her best dress and new shoes, Hettie felt out of place. Most of the kids at the party were actors. Big boxes with massive bows covered the birthday present table. Overwhelmed and feeling shy, Hettie took her gift—a flashlight, and sat in a corner. No one came to look for her until her mom arrived to pick her up. Soon after, Cally moved to Los Angeles with her family.
The next day, Hettie arrived at school earlier than usual, with the magazine under her arm, her book bag over her shoulder. After making sure that no one in the schoolyard was watching, Hettie dropped her bag on the ground and pulled out her phone.
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。
She held the phone as far as she could from her face and pressed record.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hettie’s heart sank as she realized that she wasn’t the winner.
