第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Let’s get the bad news out of the way first: Dried fruit is a concentrated source of calories and sugars. The keys to getting the most out of it are to keep portions (份额) small and avoid those with added sugars. And choose the fruits that offer the biggest benefits, like the three here.
1. Apricots
PORTION SIZE 5 apricots CALORIES 95
These orange orbs supply vitamin E, which helps to protect cells against the kind of damage that can trigger cancer and other chronic diseases. You also get 3 grams of fiber and 10 percent of the Daily Value.
2. Figs (无花果)
PORTION SIZE 5 figs CALORIES 105
Figs have more fiber than many other dried fruit, and they supply a decent amount of calcium. They may sometimes look like they’re sprinkled with sugar, but they’re not. The natural fruit sugar in the figs can crystallize and leave a white coating.
3. Prunes
PORTION SIZE 4 prunes CALORIES 92
Research suggests the mix of antioxidants and other nutrients in prunes may help build up bones, helping to prevent osteoporosis. One serving of prunes has about 20 percent of the Daily Value for vitamin K. The low intakes have been linked to painful blood vessel (血管) problems.
21. How many calories will you get if you have a portion of apricots and figs
A. 116. C. 124. B. 118. D. 200.
22. What is a benefit of prunes
A. Relieve pain. B. Improve bone strength.
C. Prevent cancer. D. Promote calcium absorption.
23. What advice is offered on dried fruit
A. Take small servings. B. Add some sugar.
C. Mix with other nutrients. D. Stay away from it.

A Belgian-British teenage pilot hopes to join his sister in the record books after staring his attempt to become the youngest person to fly around the world solo (独自地) in a small plane.
With his parents looking on, 16-year-old Mack Rutherford took off in Bulgaria’s capital, Sofia, in windy but clear conditions. If successful, he would displace (取代) Travis Ludlow from Britain who was 18 when he set the record in 2021.
Only several months ago, his 19-year-old sister, Zara Rutherford, set the world record for the youngest woman to fly solo around the world. Born into a family of pilots, Mack Rutherford has flown hundreds of hours with his dad, Sam, who is a professional pilot. His mother Beatrice is a private pilot. Mack’s dream to become a pilot came true in 2020, when he qualified for his license. Now, Mack’s lonely journey will take him to 52 countries. His trip kicked off in Bulgaria, because his sponsor is located in Sofia. The first stop will be in Italy. From there he will fly south to Africa, then he will head north to India, China, South Korea and Japan. He will go on to Alaska and continue along the U.S. West Coast to Mexico. Then he will head north again along the East Coast to Canada, cross the Atlantic, stop in Iceland, the U.K. and finish his journey in Sofia after three to five months depending on the weather conditions.
Just like his sister, he will be flying a Shark, a two-seater airplane, which has been specially prepared for such a long journey.
Mack, who is trying to find a balance between schoolwork and his flight, said he preferred to make this trip this year, because “I will be quite busy with a lot of exams next term.”

Last June, World War Ⅱ veterans (老兵) and other visitors gathered in Normandy for the 78th D-Day anniversary to commemorate the nearly 160,000 troops from Britain, the US, Canada and elsewhere who brought peace and freedom to the continent.
In the French town of Colleville-sur-Mer on June 6th, US Air Force aircraft flew over the American Cemetery during the commemoration ceremony, in the presence of Army General Mark Milley. It is the final resting place of 9,386 personnel who died fighting on D-Day and in the operations that followed.
Ray Wallace, then 97, a former paratrooper, was among the World War Ⅱ veterans attending the ceremony at the American Cemetery overlooking Omaha Beach in the French town of Colleville-sur-Mer.
On D-Day, his plane was hit and caught fire, forcing him to jump earlier than expected. Less than a month later, he was taken prisoner by the Germans. He was ultimately liberated after 10 months and returned to the US. Still, Wallace thinks he was “lucky.” “I remember the good friends that I lost there. So, it’s a little emotional,” he said, with sadness in his voice. “I guess you can say I’m proud of what I did but I didn’t do that much.”
On D-Day, Allied troops landed on the beaches code-named Omaha, Utah, Juno, Sword and Gold, carried by 7,000 boats. On that single day, 4,414 Allied soldiers lost their lives. More than 5,000 were wounded. On the German side, several thousand were killed or wounded.
Wallace, who is using a wheelchair, was among about 20 WWⅡ veterans (老兵) who opened the parade (阅兵) of military vehicles on the eve of the D-Day anniversary in Sainte-Mere-Eglise, the first French village to be liberated from Nazi occupation on D-Day, to great applause from thousands of people, in a joyful atmosphere. He did not hide his pleasure, happily waving to the crowd as parents explained the achievements of WWⅡ heroes to their children. Many history fans, wearing military and civilian clothes from the period, also came to stage and celebrate the event.
28. What can be inferred about the American Cemetery
A. It charges for admission.
B. It is located near Omaha Beach.
C. It was established by the French government.
D. It was the resting place of American troops during the war.
29. How does Wallace feel about his wartime experience
A. Proud. B. Scared. C. Sorrowful. D. Grateful.
30. Why does the author mention the data in paragraph 5
A. To indicate the cruelty of the war. B. To introduce the size of the war.
C. To compare the deaths from both sides. D. To present the significance of the D-Day landings.
31. How did the public react to the parade in Sainte-Mere-Eglise
A. They created a solemn atmosphere.
B. They showed extremely great enthusiasm.
C. They were surprised by the presence of WWⅡ veterans.
D. They all voluntarily wore military and civilian clothes of the past.

Over a decade ago, the science fiction series Black Mirror showed a story about using artificial intelligence to bring back loved ones. Thanks to technological advancement, the latest AI technology brings hope of recreating loved ones through virtual form.
Recently, it was revealed that renowned musician Tino Bao had created a digital version of his daughter, who in 2021 passed away due to a rare disease at the age of 22. With the help of Xiaoice, Microsoft Asia’s AI branch based in China, Bao was able to recreate his daughter Bao Rong as an AI-powered virtual figure. Tino Bao, his family and the team went to great lengths to piece together pictures, audio-visual recordings, and narrated memories of Rong. After thousands of trials and errors, they presented the life-like digital human who speaks in both Mandarin and English. Bao has finally launched a company to bring the technological miracle to other families experiencing such loss.
However, this technological achievement has also been accompanied by many controversies. The idea of bringing back a loved one through AI may seem comforting. Still, researchers caution that constantly interacting with an AI version of a deceased loved one could potentially affect the natural grieving (悲伤) process, leaving individuals stuck in a state of denial. This could lead to prolonged grief and other mental health issues. Furthermore, there’s a risk that people may become overly dependent on the technology, prioritizing their interactions with the AI version over forming new, real-life relationships.
With the case of Bao Rong out in the open, AI resurrection (复活) has become a business. From simple “talking pictures” that sound nothing like the loved ones to deep fake videos of actors speaking with the faces of those who passed away, the lower end of the market is more “artificial” than “intelligent”. Therefore, it is crucial to establish proper regulations and ethical standards to ensure that the use of AI-resurrection technology is safe and responsible.
32. Why does the author mention Black Mirror in paragraph 1
A. To advertise Microsoft’s virtual products.
B. To prove the predictive power of science fiction.
C. To lead to the discussion about AI resurrection.
D. To highlight the advancement of artificial intelligence.
33. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. Reasons for making a digital version of Bao Rong.
B. The popularity of AI-resurrection technology.
C. Challenges of developing a life-like digital human.
D. The process of creating an AI-powered virtual figure.
34. What can we learn about AI-resurrection technology from paragraph 3
A. It still has some technical limitations.
B. It helps people build new real-life relationships.
C. It can be a person’s obstacle to recovering from sadness.
D. It enables individuals to preserve good memories of loved ones.
35. What does the author suggest people do
A. Strengthen the management of the technology.
B. Apply the technology to making pictures and videos.
C. Put the technology into the market as soon as possible.
D. Educate the public about the potential risks of technology.

As a writer who shares his journey online, I’m often asked how to begin a writing journey. Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all answer, but I do understand the curiosity of starting something new. Here are some tips which I think could help.
Start small.
Keep a journal or notebook for short writing exercises or ideas. These small pieces can serve as practice or inspiration for larger projects later on. 36 You’ll want to look back one day and see how much progress you’ve made and how your initial ideas shaped your current skills and creativity.
Write regularly and from experience.
The more you write, the better you’ll become. Whether it’s fiction, essays, or poetry, draw from your own experiences or observations. Writing consistently builds not only your technical skills but also your confidence in expressing ideas. 37 It is constant writing that often transforms thoughts into something tangible and meaningful.
Challenge yourself to explore new techniques.
38 Maybe experiment with a different narrative (叙事) style. I once took on a challenge to write flash fiction every day for a month, and it pushed me in unexpected and rewarding ways. By exploring unfamiliar territory, you might discover hidden talents or creative passions you never knew existed.
39
Communicate with other writers as much as possible. In this way 1 posted my writing online and have connected with some of the most supportive readers. Getting constructive criticism and advice can help you grow while building a community of fellow writers.
Your writing journey won’t be a straight line. 40 Keep writing and stay patient. In time, the dedication will pay off, and you’ll see the rewards of living a writer’s life.
A. Share to get feedback. B. Support other readers. C. A straight-line thing is often favored by fiction writers. D. Stepping out of your comfort zone is essential for growth. E. You’ll face challenges, and sometimes you’ll doubt yourself. F. Don’t throw away your early writings, even if they seem rough. G. Just like a muscle, writing skills grow stronger with frequent use.

Every October, I beg my parents to take us to a pumpkin patch (园地) and every October it doesn’t work out. That’s why I couldn’t believe my ears when my dad came home with the world’s best news.
“Guess what!” he said. “I just saw a poster for the jack-o’-lantern (南瓜灯) design party in the Pumpkin Patch and it’s not too far from here.
“No way!” I said. “Can we go ”
“Pumpkin! Pumpkin! Party! Party!” chanted my little brother, Tex.
“Let’s go! But I’ve heard a rumor that something terrible happened there.” said my dad, worried.
Within minutes, Tex and I already jumped into the car and buckled up, ready to go. “I’m going to pick the biggest pumpkin,” said Tex.
“Biggest isn’t an actual word.” I said.
“I’m going to pick the best pumpkin!” shouted Tex. “I’m pretty sure best isn’t an actual word either.” I giggled. “I’m going to pick whichever pumpkin will make the scariest jack-o’-lantern.
“All right, boys! Too much excitement! What if something really goes wrong ” my dad cut in. No response. My dad continued, “If plan A fails, we can get creative and come up with Plan B!”
Still no response.
Tex and I continued our excitement, giggling and chatting.
The drive was extra cool because we saw all kinds of Halloween decorations along the way.
“Look!” Tex said, pointing to twinkling orange lights and a flashing Pumpkin Patch sign.
“Yeah! Yes! It wasn’t too far a drive,” I said. “Watch out, pumpkins! Here we come!”
Coming into our sight were pumpkins of various sizes that lay in the patch. “I pick that giant one!” Tex said, running over to pick it up. But just before he did, he said, “Ew! There’s a hole in it!” Tex quickly raced to another perfectly perfect pumpkin. But when he got closer, he said, “No fair! Someone took a bite.”
