Many children are introduced to animals through TV shows or movies. Shaun the Sheep, a popular cartoon series, features a variety of animals living at the Mossy Bottom Farm. Among them, naughty Shaun is the clever leader of his flock of sheep. Sheep in this series look a bit different from common ones because the TV show used the Valais Blacknose sheep the model.
There are few animals that make people say “Aww!” in a high-toned voice as quickly as the Valais Blacknose sheep. As the cutest sheep in the world, these animals come from the Valais region in Switzerland. They are instantly recognizable thanks to their charming appearance. With spiral-shaped horns (螺旋形的角), they have soft, white wool, which contrasts with the black patches spread evenly over their faces and found on their ears, knees, and ankles.
The Valais Blacknose sheep have a rich history deeply rooted in the Swiss Alps. They were originally raised in the 15th century for their highly valued wool. However, it was not until 1962 that they were officially recognized as a breed (品种). Their population once dwindled, but continuous efforts have been made to protect this unique breed. These efforts have been successful, and the Valais Blacknose sheep can now be found in various parts of the globe.
Looking like a combination of a lamb and a teddy bear, the Valais Blacknose sheep has found its place in the hearts of many people. They are also raised as pets due to their adorable, gentle, and friendly nature, which makes them perfect companions. However, it’s important for owners to consider their needs, including suitable living environment, nutrition (营养), and space to get around. Whether as wool producers or beloved pets, the Valais Blacknose sheep have gained their fame in being helpful animals.

B. They make a sound of “Aww” when seeing people.

D. They are only found in the Valais region of Switzerland.

【7题详解】

(瓦莱州黑鼻羊有着悠久的历史，深深扎根于瑞士阿尔卑斯山)”、最后一段中“However, it’s important for owners to consider their needs, including suitable living environment, nutrition (营养), and space to get around. (然而，对于主人来说，考虑他们的需求是很重要的，包括合适的生活环境，营养和活动空间)”可知，整篇文章主要围绕瓦莱黑鼻羊的独特之处进行介绍，包括它们的外观特征、历史、受欢迎程度以及作为宠物的饲养考虑因素。因此，选项C“The unique characteristics of the Valais Blacknose sheep. (瓦莱黑鼻羊的独特特征)”最能概括文章的主要内容。故选C。

On Monday, I walked into a conference center and, instead of flashing a card with my name and photo, I positioned myself in front of a head-height camera the size of my fist. Seconds later, the screen read: “PLEASEENTER.” No one scanned the digital pass on my phone. Facial-recognition software did all the work.
As facial recognition appear in more public places including airports and concert places, you might be wondering how you’re supposed to feel about it.
Companies providing face matching software often tout (鼓吹) speed, convenience, security and contactless benefits for customers. Most also stress that it’s only a choice. While the answer comes down to the individual, you should ask yourself: Do you want this firm to store your biometric (生物统计的) information Are you getting something useful in return
Facial recognition works by creating a map of your face. The map contains your unique measurements — the distance between your forehead and chin, or between your eyes. They are then changed into code called a face print. However, a company that stores your face data could have an entirely different purpose than what you agreed to. Besides, you can’t always track where your face ends up: one company sold facial-recognition tech based on billions of images collected from Facebook, LinkedIn and other sources.
Before agreeing to the use of biometric data, Josef Kittler, a professor of machine intelligence at the University of Surrey in the U. K., recommends finding out three things: the purpose of collecting your data, what happens to your face image once you no longer need the service, and how the data is removed.
Face scanning will become more popular in our travels and entertainment, as well as other areas such as education and banking. We’ve just begun to understand the advantages and disadvantages.
8. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the first paragraph
A. To tell the development of facial recognition.
B. To show the convenience of facial recognition.
C. To describe the author’s daily routine in the office.
D. To introduce the change of the author’s working style.
9. How does facial recognition technology work
A. By collecting a person’s fingerprint. B. By scanning the eyes of an individual.
C. By making a digital copy of a person’s face. D. By analyzing the voice patterns of an individual.
10. According to Josef Kittler, what is the main concern about facial recognition technology
A. It may cause data misuse. B. It has a limited database.
C. It lacked relevant service. D. It is not convenient enough.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Face scanning will be improved in the future. B. We only use face scanning for entertainment.
C. Face scanning is already common in all areas. D. We are still in the early stage of face scanning.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文的体裁为说明文。文章主要通过介绍面部识别技术的应用实例、工作原理、存在的隐私问题以及对未来应用领域的展望，向读者说明了面部识别技术的特点及其带来的利与弊，属于典型的说明文类型。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“On Monday, I walked into a conference center and, instead of flashing a card with my name and photo, I positioned myself in front of a head-height camera the size of my fist. Seconds later, the screen read: “PLEASEENTER.” No one scanned the digital pass on my phone. Facial-recognition software did all the work. (周一，我走进一个会议中心，没有出示写有我名字和照片的名片，而是站在一个拳头大小的照相机前。几秒钟后，屏幕显示：“请进入。”没人扫描我手机上的数字通行证。面部识别软件完成了所有的工作)”可知，第一段描述作者进入会议中心无需出示卡片，而是通过面部识别快速进入的过程，可推断出作者意在展示面部识别技术带来的便利性。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Facial recognition works by creating a map of your face. The map contains your unique measurements—the distance between your forehead and chin, or between your eyes. They are then changed into code called a face print. (面部识别通过创建你的面部地图来工作。这张地图包含了你独特的尺寸——你的前额和下巴之间的距离，或者你的眼睛之间的距离。然后它们被转换成一种被称为面纹的代码)”可知，面部识别技术通过创建个人面部地图来工作，这个地图包含独特测量数据并转换成称为面纹的代码。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Before agreeing to the use of biometric data, Josef Kittler, a professor of machine intelligence at the University of Surrey in the U. K., recommends finding out three things: the purpose of collecting your data, what happens to your face image once you no longer need the service, and how the data is removed. (在同意使用生物识别数据之前，英国萨里大学机器智能教授约瑟夫·基特勒建议弄清楚三件事：收集你的数据的目的，一旦你不再需要这项服务，你的面部图像会发生什么，以及数据是如何被删除的)”可知，强调了对数据用途、处理和删除的关注，表明主要担忧是可能导致的数据滥用问题。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Face scanning will become more popular in our travels and entertainment, as well as other areas such as education and banking. We’ve just begun to understand the advantages and disadvantages. (面部扫描将在我们的旅行、娱乐以及教育和银行等其他领域变得更加流行。我们才刚刚开始了解它的利弊)”可知，面部扫描将在更多领域变得普及，而我们才刚刚开始理解其利弊，说明我们仍处于面部扫描技术发展的早期阶段。故选D。
D
The number of states requiring high schoolers to learn about personal money matters continued to increase in 2021, and another —Florida—is ready to join the group shortly. In Florida, the Legislature has passed a law requiring students to take a full term course in personal finance (金融) before graduating.
Financial concerns grew during the pandemic, and rising inflation (通货膨胀) is tightening household budgets. Those factors, combined with worries about burdensome student debt levels, have created a stronger reason for making personal money skills a must for high schoolers.
“The need has never been greater,” said Annamaria Lusardi, the founder and academic director of the Global Financial Literacy Excellence Center at George Washington University. “We owe it to this young generation to be well prepared for the future.”
Financial literacy (金融素养) — a working grasp of concepts like saving, credit, interest rates, investing and risk assessment — is generally low among American adults, especially younger adults. Two-thirds of Generation Z adults, for example, couldn’t correctly answer more than half the financial questions in the center’s survey, which compared financial literacy across five generations.
“The pandemic has shown a great need for the average Americans to have these skills,” said Tim Ranzetta, co-founder of Next Gen Personal Finance.
State-level surveys conducted for Next Gen have found strong support for high school personal finance requirements, Mr. Ranzetta said, and dozens of proposals are awaiting action in state legislatures. It’s uncertain how many will become laws, but a requirement in a large state like Florida, he said, may help promote other states’ efforts.
While the progress among states is encouraging, there is more to do. Currently, just nine of the 23 states require personal finance to be taken as a stand-alone course. Others permit the subject to be combined with other classes, like math or social studies, or provide other ways for students to quit the course.
12. Which is NOT the reason for requiring students to take a course in personal finance
A. The impact of the pandemic. B. The tight household budgets.
C. An increase in financial cases. D. Concerns about student debt levels.
13. Which statement would Mr. Ranzetta probably agree with
A. Dozens of proposals are sure to become laws.
B. Florida’s new law may encourage other states’ efforts.
C. Personal finance is not necessary for the average Americans.
D. The young generation have been well prepared in personal finance.
14. What’s the author’s attitude to states’ efforts in meeting personal finance requirements
A. Positive. B. Objective. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. A New Course in Personal Finance
B. A Great Need for Financial Literacy
C. High Schoolers’ Growing Financial Concerns
D. High Schools’ Requirements for Personal Finance
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文属于新闻报道，主要讨论了美国各州在推动高中个人理财教育方面的发展和要求。通过政策变化、统计数据和专家观点，文章阐述了在当前经济环境下加强青少年金融素养教育的重要性和现状。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Financial concerns grew during the pandemic, and rising inflation (通货膨胀) is tightening household budgets. Those factors, combined with worries about burdensome student debt levels, have created a stronger reason for making personal money skills a must for high schoolers. (大流行期间，人们对财务的担忧加剧，不断上升的通货膨胀正在收紧家庭预算。这些因素，再加上对沉重的学生债务水平的担忧，为高中生必须掌握个人理财技能提供了更有力的理由。)”可知，要求学生学习个人理财课程的原因包括疫情的影响、家庭预算的紧张以及对学生债务水平的担忧，并未提及金融案件数量的增加。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“State-level surveys conducted for Next Gen have found strong support for high school personal finance requirements, Mr. Ranzetta said, and dozens of proposals are awaiting action in state legislatures. It’s uncertain how many will become laws, but a requirement in a large state like Florida, he said, may help promote other states’ efforts. (兰泽塔说，为Next Gen进行的州级调查发现，对高中个人财务要求的强烈支持，有数十项提案正在等待州立法机构采取行动。他说，目前还不确定有多少将成为法律，但在佛罗里达州这样的大州提出要求，可能有助于推动其他州的努力。)”可知，他认为佛罗里达州的新法律可能会激励其他州的努力。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。从文章最后一段“While the progress among states is encouraging, there is more to do. Currently, just nine of the 23 states require personal finance to be taken as a stand-alone course. Others permit the subject to be combined with other classes, like math or social studies, or provide other ways for students to quit the course. (虽然各州之间的进展令人鼓舞，但仍有更多工作要做。目前，美国23个州中只有9个州要求将个人理财作为一门独立的课程。另一些则允许这门课程与其他课程结合，比如数学或社会研究，或者为学生提供其他退出课程的方法。)”可以推断出，作者对于各州在满足个人理财教育要求方面的努力持客观态度，看到了鼓舞人心的一面，也看到了不足之处。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“The number of states requiring high schoolers to learn about personal money matters continued to increase in 2021, and another —Florida—is ready to join the group shortly. In Florida, the Legislature has passed a law requiring students to take a full term course in personal finance (金融) before graduating. (2021年，要求高中生学习个人理财知识的州继续增加，另一个州——佛罗里达州——也准备很快加入这一行列。在佛罗里达州，立法机关通过了一项法律，要求学生在毕业前学习一整个学期的个人理财课程。)”可知，文章主要讨论了美国多州立法要求高中学生必须学习个人理财课程的现象及其背后的原因，因此D选项“High Schools’ Requirements for Personal Finance (高中对个人理财的要求)”符合题意。故选D。

My grandpa lived at the top of a mountain all by himself. This was my first time to stay with him. I was curious about everything around. Sometimes I went into the woods and pretended that I was Alex the Adventurer. I must stay near and I couldn’t go past the big rock alone. This way, Grandpa could always see me from the yard.
One morning, I raced up the path back to Grandpa’s yard as fast as I could. “Grandpa, I hear something strange in your woods!” I told him. He saw the excitement and fear in my eyes. “Let’s go to find out what it is.” He took my hand with his big and warm one. As we hiked toward the big rock, I held Grandpa’s hand tighter. I could feel my palms becoming sweaty.
Cack-cack-cack (呱呱呱)! There was that sound! I grabbed Grandpa’s leg. “What is that, Grandpa ” I whispered. “It’s the first sign of spring,” he said. “How about you going past the big rock a bit. See if you can find out what it is.” “By myself ” I hesitated, unsure of what to do next. “I promise it’s safe,” he gently encouraged me. “And I’ll stay here by the big rock where you can see me.”
“No.” I looked at Grandpa. His whole face seemed to be smiling, even his eyes. I wondered what an adventurer would do. I stood up straighter and made a brave face. “Grandpa,” I said, “I think I can do it.”
Crunch! Crunch! My feet stepped on the dead leaves as I got closer. Suddenly there was silence. I stopped and looked back. My face must not look so brave, because Grandpa said, “It’s all right, Alex. Just a little further.”

【答案】
I stood up straighter and took a big step forward. My heart pounded, but I didn’t stop. Crunch! Crunch! The sound of my footsteps echoed in the woods, reminding me that I was on a mission. Gradually, the cackling became louder. Rounding a bend in the path, I saw a flock of frogs hopping around. They were the source of the strange sound! My heart lightened, and a sense of achievement filled me. I turned and shouted to Grandpa, “I found them, Grandpa! It’s frogs!” He smiled and nodded, his pride in me evident. That day, I not only overcame my fear, but also discovered the joy of adventure.

Many children are introduced to animals through TV shows or movies. Shaun the Sheep, a popular cartoon series, features a variety of animals living at the Mossy Bottom Farm. Among them, naughty Shaun is the clever leader of his flock of sheep. Sheep in this series look a bit different from common ones because the TV show used the Valais Blacknose sheep the model.
There are few animals that make people say “Aww!” in a high-toned voice as quickly as the Valais Blacknose sheep. As the cutest sheep in the world, these animals come from the Valais region in Switzerland. They are instantly recognizable thanks to their charming appearance. With spiral-shaped horns (螺旋形的角), they have soft, white wool, which contrasts with the black patches spread evenly over their faces and found on their ears, knees, and ankles.
The Valais Blacknose sheep have a rich history deeply rooted in the Swiss Alps. They were originally raised in the 15th century for their highly valued wool. However, it was not until 1962 that they were officially recognized as a breed (品种). Their population once dwindled, but continuous efforts have been made to protect this unique breed. These efforts have been successful, and the Valais Blacknose sheep can now be found in various parts of the globe.
Looking like a combination of a lamb and a teddy bear, the Valais Blacknose sheep has found its place in the hearts of many people. They are also raised as pets due to their adorable, gentle, and friendly nature, which makes them perfect companions. However, it’s important for owners to consider their needs, including suitable living environment, nutrition (营养), and space to get around. Whether as wool producers or beloved pets, the Valais Blacknose sheep have gained their fame in being helpful animals.

B. They make a sound of “Aww” when seeing people.

On Monday, I walked into a conference center and, instead of flashing a card with my name and photo, I positioned myself in front of a head-height camera the size of my fist. Seconds later, the screen read: “PLEASEENTER.” No one scanned the digital pass on my phone. Facial-recognition software did all the work.
As facial recognition appear in more public places including airports and concert places, you might be wondering how you’re supposed to feel about it.
Companies providing face matching software often tout (鼓吹) speed, convenience, security and contactless benefits for customers. Most also stress that it’s only a choice. While the answer comes down to the individual, you should ask yourself: Do you want this firm to store your biometric (生物统计的) information Are you getting something useful in return
Facial recognition works by creating a map of your face. The map contains your unique measurements — the distance between your forehead and chin, or between your eyes. They are then changed into code called a face print. However, a company that stores your face data could have an entirely different purpose than what you agreed to. Besides, you can’t always track where your face ends up: one company sold facial-recognition tech based on billions of images collected from Facebook, LinkedIn and other sources.
Before agreeing to the use of biometric data, Josef Kittler, a professor of machine intelligence at the University of Surrey in the U. K., recommends finding out three things: the purpose of collecting your data, what happens to your face image once you no longer need the service, and how the data is removed.
Face scanning will become more popular in our travels and entertainment, as well as other areas such as education and banking. We’ve just begun to understand the advantages and disadvantages.
8. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the first paragraph
A. To tell the development of facial recognition.
B. To show the convenience of facial recognition.
C. To describe the author’s daily routine in the office.
D. To introduce the change of the author’s working style.
9 How does facial recognition technology work
A. By collecting a person’s fingerprint. B. By scanning the eyes of an individual.
C. By making a digital copy of a person’s face. D. By analyzing the voice patterns of an individual.
10. According to Josef Kittler, what is the main concern about facial recognition technology
A. It may cause data misuse. B. It has a limited database.
C. It lacked relevant service. D. It is not convenient enough.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. Face scanning will be improved in the future. B. We only use face scanning for entertainment.

The number of states requiring high schoolers to learn about personal money matters continued to increase in 2021, and another —Florida—is ready to join the group shortly. In Florida, the Legislature has passed a law requiring students to take a full term course in personal finance (金融) before graduating.
Financial concerns grew during the pandemic, and rising inflation (通货膨胀) is tightening household budgets. Those factors, combined with worries about burdensome student debt levels, have created a stronger reason for making personal money skills a must for high schoolers.
“The need has never been greater,” said Annamaria Lusardi, the founder and academic director of the Global Financial Literacy Excellence Center at George Washington University. “We owe it to this young generation to be well prepared for the future.”
Financial literacy (金融素养) — a working grasp of concepts like saving, credit, interest rates, investing and risk assessment — is generally low among American adults, especially younger adults. Two-thirds of Generation Z adults, for example, couldn’t correctly answer more than half the financial questions in the center’s survey, which compared financial literacy across five generations.
“The pandemic has shown a great need for the average Americans to have these skills,” said Tim Ranzetta, co-founder of Next Gen Personal Finance.
State-level surveys conducted for Next Gen have found strong support for high school personal finance requirements, Mr. Ranzetta said, and dozens of proposals are awaiting action in state legislatures. It’s uncertain how many will become laws, but a requirement in a large state like Florida, he said, may help promote other states’ efforts.
While the progress among states is encouraging, there is more to do. Currently, just nine of the 23 states require personal finance to be taken as a stand-alone course. Others permit the subject to be combined with other classes, like math or social studies, or provide other ways for students to quit the course.
12. Which is NOT the reason for requiring students to take a course in personal finance
A. The impact of the pandemic. B. The tight household budgets.
C. An increase in financial cases. D. Concerns about student debt levels.
13. Which statement would Mr. Ranzetta probably agree with
A. Dozens of proposals are sure to become laws.
B. Florida’s new law may encourage other states’ efforts.
C. Personal finance is not necessary for the average Americans.
D. The young generation have been well prepared in personal finance.
14. What’s the author’s attitude to states’ efforts in meeting personal finance requirements
A. Positive. B. Objective. C. Indifferent. D. Doubtful.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. A New Course in Personal Finance
B. A Great Need for Financial Literacy
C. High Schoolers’ Growing Financial Concerns
D. High Schools’ Requirements for Personal Finance

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。
My grandpa lived at the top of a mountain all by himself. This was my first time to stay with him. I was curious about everything around. Sometimes I went into the woods and pretended that I was Alex the Adventurer. I must stay near and I couldn’t go past the big rock alone. This way, Grandpa could always see me from the yard.
One morning, I raced up the path back to Grandpa’s yard as fast as I could. “Grandpa, I hear something strange in your woods!” I told him. He saw the excitement and fear in my eyes. “Let’s go to find out what it is.” He took my hand with his big and warm one. As we hiked toward the big rock, I held Grandpa’s hand tighter. I could feel my palms becoming sweaty.
Cack-cack-cack (呱呱呱)! There was that sound! I grabbed Grandpa’s leg. “What is that, Grandpa ” I whispered. “It’s the first sign of spring,” he said. “How about you going past the big rock a bit. See if you can find out what it is.” “By myself ” I hesitated, unsure of what to do next. “I promise it’s safe,” he gently encouraged me. “And I’ll stay here by the big rock where you can see me.”
“No.” I looked at Grandpa. His whole face seemed to be smiling even his eyes. I wondered what an adventurer would do. I stood up straighter and made a brave face. “Grandpa,” I said, “I think I can do it.”
Crunch! Crunch! My feet stepped on the dead leaves as I got closer. Suddenly there was silence. I stopped and looked back. My face must not look so brave, because Grandpa said, “It’s all right, Alex. Just a little further.”
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为 100左右；
2.续写部分为一段，请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I stood up straighter and took a big step forward.
