第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A,B,C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
Here is a selection of the world’s most unusual buildings that define a place through inventive ways of adapting to local environments.
The floating (流动的) homes of Lake Titicaca
More than 500 years ago, the growing Inca Empire began to occupy the Uros’ mainland villages. To resist this threat, the Uros began to build the floating islands with the water- resistant plant called totora, which grows in the lake and is the lifeblood of the Uros community.
The perfect desert town: Ghadames
Ghadames is an impressive example of environmental planning. Thick walls delay the sun’s heat entering a building during the day, and radiate that heat back to the sky at night. By morning, the walls have cooled again. Skilful use of available building materials achieves the maximum comfort with minimal means.
Spain’s fairy-tale houses
Known as pallozas, the round houses are built from just a handful of materials: stone, wood and dry grass. Thick stone walls depending on what was available in the area block the cold and conserve internal heat. Inside, the palloza’s fireplaces are essential for maintaining a constant temperature, making it energy-efficient.
The Himalayas’ ancient design
The structures in Himachal Pradesh were built by an ancient technique known as kath kuni. Wood and stones create a fantastic balance. The wooden frames (框架) lessen the stress on the openings during an earthquake. Thick stones hold the whole building firmly in place. Above all, pieces of wood interlock together, which makes the structures remarkably flexible, allowing walls to move in case of an earthquake.
21. Which structure was built for defending residents against attackers
A. The kath kuni structure. B. The floating structure.
C. The Ghadames structure. D. The palloza’s structure.
22. What do the houses in Ghadames and pallozas have in common
A. They are sustainable.
B. They maximize internal heat.
C. They are built for luxury living.
D. They’re made of special materials.
23. What makes Kath kuni structures earthquake-resistant
A. The stone frames. B. The narrow openings.
C. The flexible wood. D. An interlocking system.
B
Even now, I have vivid memories of my last day of high school. In my mind’s eye, I’m cleaning out my locker, and then staring at the emptiness for a few extra beats before slamming it shut for the last time. I’m wandering around the halls with my best friend, blissfully ignoring the bells going off every 50 minutes on schedule because, just today, we’re allowed to break the rules. I’m sitting on my desk, swinging my feet, and shooting the breeze (闲聊) with my English teacher, Mr. Carr, in a way that makes me feel almost grown up.
It was maybe my favorite day of the whole year. Like the final layer of watercolor, the freedom and lightness I feel seeps (渗透) into the rest of my memories of that day and turns them just a shade rosier.
If the school year hasn’t yet ended for you consider what you can do to make the finale count. Why Because when it comes to human memory, not all moments are created equal. Instead, our remembered experiences are disproportionately (不成比例地) influenced by peaks (the best moments as well as the worst) and endings (the last moments). Nobel Prize winner Danny Kahneman, who discovered this phenomenon, called this the peak-end rule. It suggests that our judgment of a past experience is largely based on its most extreme point and its endpoint.
I took advantage of the peak-end rule years ago, when my girls were young enough to want a bedtime story each night. I remember thinking that whatever disagreement and stress had occurred that day, I could make the last moments count. I could end on a note of calm and act like the patient mom I hadn’t quite managed to be just hours before.
Don’t mistake all moments as equal insignificance. There’s a reason why yoga classes end with savasana (挺卧式). There’s a reason we eat dessert last. Do organize endings carefully. As Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll might say: Finish strong. Last impressions are especially lasting.
24. What can the author suggest doing to make the end of a school year memorable
A. Planning a special event for the last day.
B. Reflecting on the entire academic year.
C. Ignoring school regulations.
D. Focusing on the final exam.
25. Which statement is true about the peak-end rule
A. The last moments matter the most in our memories.
B. Peaks in life can be remembered better than endings.
C. The peaks and ends of experiences are easier to remember.
D. Our judgment of the past is determined by first impressions.
26. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. What struggles the author had in life.
B. How the author treated her daughters.
C. Why the author read stories to her kids.
D. How the author applied the rule to daily life.
27. Why is Pete Carroll mentioned in the last paragraph
A. To show the importance of doing sports.
B. To explain why last impressions are lasting.
C. To prove the peak-end rule can be used in sports.
D. To encourage readers to value the last moments of an experience.
C
Teachers were shocked when ChatGPT appeared a year ago. This AI chat robot can write clear, well-researched essays in response to given questions, forcing educators around the world to rethink their evaluation (测评) methods. A few countries brought back pen-and-paper exams, and some schools asked students to do their homework at school, after learning about a subject at home.
There are risks, but some educators think that ChatGPT and other large language models(LLMs)can be powerful learning tools. They could help students by providing a personalized guiding that is available at any time and might be accessible to more students than human teachers would be. Or they could help teachers and students by making information that only exists in the textbooks much easier to find and understand.
There are still probkems to be solved. Questions remain about whether LLMscan be made correct and reliable enough to be trusted as learning helpers. It’s too soon to know what their final effect on education will be, but more institutions (研究机构) need to explore ChatGPT’s advantages and dangers, and share what they are leaning, or their students might miss aut on a valuable tool.
Despite the risks, educators should not avoid using LLMs. Rather, they need to teach students the chat robot’s strengths and weaknesses and support institutions’ efforts to improve the models for educatton-specific purposes. This could mean building task-specific versions of LLMs that harness their strengths in dialogue and summarization and reduce the risks of a chat robot providing students with inaccurate (不准确的) information or enabling them to cheat.
Arizona State University (ASU), for example, developed a platform that enables its members to use LLM-powered chat robots. These robots are instructed to seek answers to users’questions in specific data sets, such as scientific papers or lecture notes. This approach not only makes use of the chat robot’s conversational power, but alsozreduces the chance of errors.
As understanding of the LLMs’power and limitations increases, more university- wide plans will certainly appear. Using LLMs without considering their disadvantages will gain the opposite effect. For many educational purposes, error-prone (容易出错 的) tools damage students’ability to learn and cannot help students. But some institutions are trying to reduce the LLMs’weaknesses, even aiming to turn those into strengths by, for example, using them to improve students’critical-thinking skills.
Educators must be brave to avoid missing a huge opportunity and careful to ensure that institutions everywhere use LLMs in a way that makes the world better, not worse.
28. What can we infer about ChatGPT from Paragraph 1
A. It is used in exams by some students.
B. It is going to replace human teachers.
C. It is especially popular among teachers.
D. It improves educators’ evaluation methods.
What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. LLMs’possible risks. B. LLMs’powerful tools.
C. ILMs’leaning ability. D. LLMs’potential benefits.
30. What should students know when using LLMs
A. Their task-specific versions.
B. Their strengths and weaknesses.
C. Their problems and possible risks.
D. Their models for education purposes.
31. What does the underlined word “harness” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Improve. B. Discover. C. Use. D. Test.
D
Millions of people around the world, including nearly 60% of Americans, Australians and Europeans, participate in sports.
Lack of physical activity is estimated to cause more than 5 million early deaths a year. To reduce the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes (糖尿病), cancer and a number of other diseases, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends adults and older people engage in physical activity for at least 150 minutes a week. Adults participating in a high overall level of sports and exercise are at 34% lower risk of death than those who never or rarely engage in such activities.
But does it make a difference which physical activities we do
To strengthen the evidence on health benefits of six common sport disciplines—aerobics (有氧运动), cycling, football, racquet (球拍) sports, running and swimming --we recently analyzed data from 80,306 British adults. The study found 27%, 15%, 47% and 28% reduced risk of death for participants in aerobics, cycling, racquet sports and swimming.
Although we observed reductions in the risk of death associated with football and running (18% and 13%) in our study sample, the data did not allow us to draw conclusions about these effects across the whole population. These associations should not be misunderstood as “no association” or “evidence of no effect”. We simply do not know whether the observed effects in the sample occurred by chance alone or reflect the true effects in the population.
It may take decades until we reach definite conclusions about health outcomes of all types of sports. Should you in the meantime sit in front of the TV and wait for researchers to announce the final results No! Follow your preferences and select an affordable and easily accessible sporting activity you enjoy doing, while trying to reduce the risk of injury.
How long should an adult exercise every day according to WHO
At least 21 minutes. B. At least 25 minutes.
C.At least 30 minutes. D. At least 35 minutes.
33. What did the study find according to Paragraphs 3 and 4
A. Football and running had no effect.
B. Running is the best form of exercise.
C. Racquet sports are the most effective in reducing the risk of death.
D. Aerobics is more popular than running.
34. What does the author advise us to do in the end
A. Participate in racquet sports.
B. Choose whatever sport you like.
C. Participate in running and swimming.
D. Choose whatever sport that’s beneficial.
35. What would be the best title for the text
A. The Benefits of Playing Sports
B. Different People, Different Sports
C. Which Sports Are Best for Health
D. Why Do People Engage in Sports

Tips for Planning a Nature Walk With Your Child
When it comes to planning a nature walk, the key tip to keep in mind is to have fun with it! 36 If children are given the opportunity to experience nature, even in simple ways, interaction and engagement follow quite naturally.
Let your children get dirty.
If your little one is anxious to crawl (爬) in the dirt to get a better look at worms, then go for it! 37 Research suggests that kids who play the dirt are exposed to bacteria, germs and viruses that can help build their immune (免疫) system and reduce the risks of certain allergies and illnesses later in life.
38
Encourage them to stop to turn over rocks, touch moss, and when they can, climb on and over rocks and fallen trees. Whatever the environment, which you assess for any unreasonable danger, the children can set the pace — stimulating confidence, flexibility, problem-solving, creativity, and a sense of wonder.
Get creative.
39 Davis suggests pretending to play, such as using a stick as a sword or magic wand, or making up stories about the items found during your walk. Your findings also work great for an art project. “Collecting rocks on your nature walk can later be painted and re-purposed as beautiful works of art,” says Davis.
Let older children be more adventurous.
For the older kids, it’s all about making a deeper connection with the world around them. With older kids, you can encourage them to connect with nature on a deeper level by exploring their senses. 40
A.Assess the environment.
B.Have your children lead the way.
C.Nature is perfect for a child’s creativity.
D.Nature walks don’t have to be complicated.
E.Dirt might get a bad reputation, but it shouldn’t.
F.Try having them walk barefoot on different surfaces.
G.Give them the freedom to play in their own ways.

The road to gaining confidence is not an easy one, but it’s entirely in your hands and you can do it if you just put your mind to it. Here are some ways that can help you learn to love yourself.
Write down what you like about yourself. Make this a daily routine. Every day, spare some time in the evening and write down three things that you appreciate yourself. They can be related to what happened that day or they can be in general but you need to note down three things even if it’s hard for you to think of them. Not only will it instantly make you feel better, but it will also be of great help in the future. When you’re having a bad day, just take out your list and go through what you’ve written every day.
Another great thing that will immediately improve how you see yourself is your treatment of others. Be kind to others, and not only will you feel good. you will also probably receive the same treatment from them. Be there for someone in trouble and really listen to him. Help an elderly neighbor carry his bags to his apartment. Call someone you haven’t heard from for a long time. Smile at a stranger. All of these things will be an instant boost of positive energy.
Healthy body and healthy mind are really connected more than you know, and as much as you can harm your physical health with negative thoughts, you can also improve your mental health by taking care of your body. Learn to love your body by keeping a healthy diet. Learn about nutrition and foods that both make you feel good and are healthy for you. Moreover, start working out and do something you actually enjoy. Not everyone enjoys going to the gym or jogging. Take part in some sports you’ve always wanted to try or take dance lessons.

Dear Jane,
I'm sorry to hear that you are exhausted due to the pressure of school work. So, I'm writing to offer you some useful advice on how to adjust yourself.
To begin with, it's advisable to balance your school work and leisure. Sparing some time every day for exercise is a good way to build up your body and reduce your pressure. What's more, you are supposed to have enough sleep, which will keep you refreshed. Last but not least, it's highly recommended that you talk to your parents about what you are struggling with since they are your strongest supporters.
I hope my suggestions will be of use to you and that you will make progress in your study.
Yours,
Li Hua
