I must have looked deep in thought，or as deep in thought as an 11 year old man can，when my grandmother glanced up from her weeding to ask，“You have something on your mind，don't you？”
“Yes，I was thinking that someday I want to be an Olympic speed skating champion like my hero，Eric Heiden，I want to be a doctor like my parents and I want to help children in Africa.”
I immediately knew I had confided in the right person when a knowing smile broke across her face.“Johann，of course! You can do anything you want to do！” she said simply.And with my grandmother's support，I set out to pursue my passions.
14 years later，I was well ready to take hold of my first dream：becoming an Olympic champion.The Olympics in 1994 were in my home country，Norway.As I entered the Olympic stadium，I wasn't the best athlete，and many had doubts about my ability to perform well.But I had something special working for me.I had a woman in the first row who believed in me following my passions just as much as I did.For the first time ever，my grandmother was going to see me skate.
It happened.Breaking a world record，I won the gold.As I stood on the podium（领奖台） that I had dreamed about my entire life，a curious question popped into my head.Why me Why did I win，given all the other incredible competitors out there The reason had to be more than a grandmother who shared a belief in her grandson's dream.The question led me to only one answer：because I wanted to make a difference in the world，and with all the media attention on my success，I could.
I immediately knew what that difference had to be：hope in the lives of the children in Africa.Six months earlier，I'd been invited to Eritrea as an ambassador for Olympic Aid.

In his 1936 work How to Win Friends and Infuence People, Dale Caegie wrote: “I have come to the conclusion that there is only one way to get the best of an argument - and that is to avoid it.” This distaste for arguments is common, but it depends on a mistaken view of arguments that causes problems for our personal and social lives -and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place.
Caregie would be right if arguments were fights, which is how we often think of them. Like physical fights，verbal （言语的） fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win, you end up no better off.You would be feeling almost as bad if arguments were even just competitions - like, say, tennis toumaments. Pairs of opponents hit the ball back and forth until one winner comes out from all who entered. Everybody else loses. This kind of thinking explains why so many people try to avoid arguments.
However, there are ways to win an argument every time. When you state your position, formulate （阐述） an argument for what you claim and honestly ask yourself whether your argument is any good. When you talk with someone who takes a stand, ask them to give you a reason for their view and spell out their argument fully. Assess its strength and weakess. Raise objections （异议） and listen carefully to their replies. This method will require effort.but practice will make you better at it.
These tools can help you win every argument － not in the unhelpful sense of beating your opponents but in the better sense of learing about what divides people, leaming why they disagree with us and leaming to talk and work together with them. If we read just our view of arguments－from a verbal fight or tennis game to a reasoned exchange through which we all gain respect and understanding from each other－then we change the very nature of what it means to “win" an argument.
28. Why do many people try to avoid arguments
A. They lack debating skills.
B. They may feel bad even if they win.
C. They are not confident in themselves.
D. They fear being ignored.
29. What’s the writer’s attitude towards Carnegie's understanding of argument
A. Critical. B. Supportive.
C. Tolerant. D. Indifferent.
30. What does the underlined phrase “spell out" in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Defend. B. Explain.
C. Conclude. D. Repeat.
31.What is the key to “winning" an argument according to the author
A. Sense oflogic. B. Solid supporting evidence.
C.Understanding from both sides. D. Proper manners.
D
When driving, Clara-Marina Martinez takes down any unusual behaviour she sees on the road. she then feeds these into machine-learning algorithms（算法）, a form of AI, which areintended to produce a system reliable enough for a car to drive itself without any disturbance from the driver, and cope with all situations on the road. But this proving hard to achieve,carmakers choose to scale back many attempts to do so. Last year, for instance, Uber, a ride-hailing service, sold off its unit developing self-driving cars at a low price.
Autonomous vehicles are boasted as being not just convenient but potentially safer.However, just as people take time to learn how to drive safely, machines are no exception. The RAND Corporation, an American think-tank, calculates that to develop a system 20% safer than ahuman driver, a fleet of 100 self-driving cars would have to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and cover 14 billion kilometres. At average road speeds, that would take about 400 years.
Carmakers such as Porsche therefore accelerate the development process using simulators （模拟器）. These teach software about danger only rarely encountered in reality. Dr Martinez and her colleagues employ "game engines", the programs that generate photo realistic images in computer games, to do this.These are used to create virtual worlds through which the software can drive.
How quickly, if ever, all this will translate into reality remains to be seen. Both regulators and customers will need to overcome doubt that a software driver really can be safer than human.From Porsche's point of view, though, there is one other relevant question. Given that much of the reason for owning a sports car is for owners to show off what they regard as their driving skills, just how big a market will there be for a version where software takes those boasting rights away
32. What do the underlined words“scale back" mean in Paragraph 1
A.Reduce
B.Overlook
C. Make
D.Encourage
33. The learning process of autonomous vehicles' safe driving can be described as ________.
A.Fast-paced
B.Thought-provoking
C. Time-consuming
D.Well-designed
34. What challenge do autonomous vehicles bring to Porsche
A. Making their sports cars affordable.
B. Integrating game engines into their vehicles.
C. Removing public doubts about safety.
D.Ensuring the pleasure of driving.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Porsche: sports Cars at Risk
B. Self-driving Cars: still some Way to Go
C.Simulators: The Core of Autonomous Vehicles
D.Machine Learning Algorithms: The Arrival of AI
第二节（共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What gives your life meaning It is an important and natural practical question that we all ask ourselves at times. It circles around the notion of having a purpose and a reason to wake up and move forward in our lives. 36 Is it time to bring it back on track Here's how to get started.
Treat your depression.
Your depression empties your energy and damages your motivation. 37 Therefore, the key here is taking action no matter what you start with: tackling the depression directly through taking medicines or consulting doctors to get you moving forward. What the action is matters less than taking action itself.
Get out of your head into your emotion.
If you are heavily driven by what you should do, you need to start rewiring your brain to use your emotions as information. 38 Once you notice them, do something concrete with them - again, act.That is how you learn to trust your emotions and use them to guide you, andhow you rewire your brain.
Explore,experiment.
You can't figure out your sense of purpose by sitting on the couch and thinking it over 39 You also need to focus on doing different experiments with being bold, and taking acceptable risks.
The path to discovering or reigniting your sense of purpose is not about making a new decision but focusing on the process that leads to that decision. 40
Start by focusing on those slightest feelings telling you what you want and don't want.
B. It may be caused by physical or emotional limitations that take away joy.
C. Without them, you don't make the changes that can pull you out of the depression.
D. However, for many, that sense of purpose has been absent for long stretches.
E. Instead, you need to explore, try things and see what sticks, what works, what doesn't.
F. Hence, your emotions are your source of passion, desire, and energy.
G.Therefore, you need to clear away obstacles that keep you from acting and moving forward.

答案解析
（适用于考纲单词、非谓语动词薄弱的学生）
单项选择（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）
从 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
1. The teacher encouraged the students to think________ and come up with innovative solutions.
A. creative B. strong C. practical D. safe
【答案】A
【解析】考查形容词辨析。句意：老师鼓励学生们创造性地思考并提出创新的解决方案。creative意为“创造性的”，符合语境，强调创新思维。strong意为“强壮的”，practical意为“实际的”，safe意为“安全的”，均不符合题意。因为句子中提到“come up with innovative solutions（提出创新的解决方案）”，所以“创造性地思考”是最佳选项。
2. The company aims to________ its products to meet the changing market demands.
A. complete
B. concern
C. deliver
D. adapt
【答案】D
【解析】考查动词辨析。句意：公司旨在使其产品适应不断变化的市场需求。adapt意为“使……适应”，符合语境。complete意为“完成”，concern意为“涉及”，deliver意为“交付”，均不符合题意。此处强调产品需要根据市场需求进行调整，因此“adapt”是最佳选择。
3. Hardly ______ when the archaeologists began examining the site.
A. did the drone land
B. had the drone landed
C. the drone landed
D. the drone had landed
【答案】B
【解析】考查倒装句和时态。句意：无人机刚一着陆，考古学家就开始检查遗址。**Hardly...when...**结构中，hardly位于句首时，句子需部分倒装，且主句用过去完成时，从句用一般过去时。因此，had the drone landed符合语法规则。其他选项中，A选项缺少过去完成时的结构，C和D选项没有使用倒装结构，不符合语法要求。
4. The team worked _______ to finish the project before the deadline.
A. frequently
B. increasingly
C. constantly
D. successfully
【答案】C
【解析】考查副词辨析。句意：团队不断地工作，以便在截止日期前完成项目。constantly意为“不断地”，符合语境。frequently意为“频繁地”，表示动作的重复性，但不如“constantly”强调持续性；increasingly意为“越来越多地”，表示程度的加深；successfully意为“成功地”，与句意不符。因此，“constantly”是最佳选项。
5. The company _______ a new policy to improve employee satisfaction.
A. advocated
B. adopted
C. affected
D. amused
【答案】B
【解析】考查动词辨析。句意：公司采纳了一项新政策以提高员工满意度。adopted意为“采纳”，符合语境。advocated意为“提倡”，虽然也与政策相关，但“提倡”并不一定意味着“采纳”；affected意为“影响”，amused意为“逗乐”，均不符合题意。此处强调公司实际采取了某项政策，因此“adopted”是最佳选项。
6. Cynthia is not ashamed of what she does, ______ she ends up doing something wrong.
A. as if
B. even if
C. now that
D. as long as
【答案】B
【解析】考查连词辨析。句意：辛西娅并不为自己所做的事感到羞耻，即使她最终做错了什么。even if意为“即使”，符合语境，表示让步关系。as if意为“好像”，表示假设或虚拟；now that意为“既然”，表示因果关系；as long as意为“只要”，表示条件关系。因此，“even if”是最佳选项。
7. The company's rapid growth can be ________ to its innovative strategies and excellent management.
A. attributed
B. owed
C. due
D. related
【答案】A
【解析】考查动词短语辨析。句意：公司的快速增长可以归因于其创新策略和卓越的管理。attributed意为“归因于”，符合语境。owed意为“欠”，通常用于“owe sth. to sb.”结构；due意为“由于”，常用于“due to”结构，但不能与“be”连用；related意为“有关联”，但缺乏“归因于”的明确含义。因此，“attributed”是最佳选项。
8. The robotic arm, ______ with sensors, can replicate delicate porcelain patterns.
A. equipping
B. equipped
C. to equip
D. being equipped
【答案】B
【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：配备了传感器的机械臂可以复制精美的瓷器图案。equipped是过去分词作后置定语，表被动完成（机械臂被装备）。equipping是现在分词，表示主动关系，不符合题意。to equip表示目的，意为“为了装备”，也不符合语境。因此，“equipped”是最佳选择。
9. I remember my daughter used to ask questions that girls ________ would ask.
A. twice her age
B. twice as older as she
C. as twice her age
D. twice older as her age
【答案】A
【解析】考查倍数表达。句意：我记得我的女儿过去常常问那些比她大一倍的女孩会问的问题。twice her age意为“比她大一倍”，符合语法规则。倍数表达通常用“倍数 + 名词”，例如“twice my age（我的两倍年龄）”。其他选项中，B选项“twice as older as she”结构错误，C和D选项表达混乱，不符合英语语法习惯。因此，“twice her age”是最佳选项。
10. The ancient building, ________ back to the Ming Dynasty, is now a popular tourist attraction.
A. having dated
B. dating
C. being dated
D. dated
【答案】B
【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：这座古老的建筑可以追溯到明朝，现在已经成为一个热门旅游景点。dating back to 是固定搭配，意为“追溯到……”，常用于描述历史事物的起源，符合语境。having dated 表示完成的动作，不符合句意；being dated 表示正在进行的动作，也不符合语境；dated 是过去分词，但缺少介词 back to，结构不完整。因此，dating 是最佳选择。
11. It is essential that the cultural database ______ regularly to protect intangible heritage.
A. is updated
B. be updated
C. will be updated
D. updates
【答案】B
【解析】考查虚拟语气。句意：为了保护非物质文化遗产，文化数据库必须定期更新。在 It is essential that... 结构中，从句需使用虚拟语气，即 （should） + 动词原形，因此 be updated 符合语法规则。is updated 是一般现在时的被动语态，不符合虚拟语气的用法；will be updated 是一般将来时的被动语态，也不符合虚拟语气的用法；updates 是动词原形，但缺少被动语态的表达。因此，be updated 是最佳选项。
12. The new technology allows us to ________ information in real-time, making communication much more efficient.
A. exchange
B. spread
C. release
D. share
【答案】D
【解析】考查动词辨析。句意：这项新技术使我们能够实时共享信息，从而使通信更加高效。share 意为“共享”，强调将信息提供给他人使用，符合语境。exchange 意为“交换”，强调双方互换信息，与句意不符；spread 意为“传播”，通常用于广泛扩散信息，而不是实时交互；release 意为“发布”，也不符合“实时交互”的语境。因此，share 是最佳选项。
13. ______ the holographic technology, the audience felt as if they were attending a Tang Dynasty banquet.
A. With
B. For
C. By
D. Through
【答案】D
【解析】考查介词辨析。句意：通过全息技术，观众仿佛置身于唐朝的宴会上。through 意为“通过……方式”，表示“通过某种手段”，符合语境。with 意为“使用……工具”，但不如 through 表达清晰；for 意为“为了”，表示目的，不符合语境；by 意为“通过……手段”，但通常用于表示动作的执行者，而不是技术手段。因此，through 是最佳选项。
14. The historian suggested ________ blockchain to track the origins of ancient artifacts.
A. using
B. to use
C. use
D. used
【答案】A
【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：历史学家建议使用区块链技术来追踪古代文物的起源。suggest 后面接动名词作宾语（suggest doing），表示“建议做某事”，因此 using 是正确选项。to use 和 use 通常用于 suggest that... 的结构中，但这里缺少宾语从句的引导词 that；used 是过去分词，不符合语法结构。因此，using 是最佳选择。
15. Not until the drone _________ the grandeur of the Great Wall.
A. launched did we realize
B. was launched did we realize
C. had launched we realize
D. launches we did realize
【答案】B
【解析】考查倒装句和被动语态。句意：直到无人机起飞，我们才意识到长城的宏伟。Not until 位于句首，主句需部分倒装,从句用正常语序，时态为一般过去时，这里是被动语态（drone被发射）。A选项缺少被动语态，C选项缺少倒装结构，D选项时态错误（launches是现在时），故选B。

A. that
B. which
C. where
D. whose
【答案】D
【解析】考查定语从句。句意：这座古墓的墙壁上绘有壁画，现已完成数字化测绘。定语从句，先行词“tomb”与“walls”为所属关系，用whose。that 和 which 是关系代词，但它们不能在从句中作定语；where 是关系副词，表示地点，不符合句意。
17. ______ by the Terracotta Warriors, the programmer created a 3D animation.
A. Inspiring
B. Inspired
C. To inspire
D. Having inspired
【答案】B
【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：受到兵马俑的启发，程序员制作了一个3D动画。Inspired 是过去分词作状语，表示被动关系（被兵马俑启发），符合语境。Inspiring 是现在分词，表示主动关系，不符合题意。To inspire 表示目的，意为“为了启发”，不符合语境。Having inspired 表示主动完成的动作，也不符合题意。故选B。
18. The new law is expected to ________ the environment by reducing pollution.
A. prevent
B. preserve
C. challenge
D. struggle
【答案】B
【解析】考查动词辨析。句意：新法律预计将通过减少污染来保护环境。preserve 意为“保护”，符合语境，强调通过减少污染来维护环境的可持续性。prevent 意为“阻止”，通常用于“prevent sb./sth. from...”结构，不符合句意；challenge 意为“挑战”，与“保护环境”不符；struggle 意为“努力”，也不符合语境。因此，preserve 是最佳选项。
19. It remains unknown ______ the missing oracle bone scripts will ever be recovered.
A. that
B. whether
C. who
D. what
【答案】B
【解析】考查名词性从句。句意：那些丢失的甲骨文是否能够被找回仍然是未知的。whether 引导宾语从句，表示“是否”，符合语境。that 引导宾语从句时，不表示“是否”，只是连接词，没有实际意义。who 和 what 分别表示“谁”和“什么”，与句子意义不符。因此，whether 是最佳选项，表示“是否能够被找回”这一不确定性。
20. The ________ of the new technology has greatly improved our daily lives.
A. impact
B. community
C. attitude
D. activity
【答案】A
【解析】考查名词辨析。句意：这项新技术的影响极大地改善了我们的日常生活。impact 意为“影响”，符合语境，强调新技术对生活的积极改变。community 意为“社区”，与句意无关；attitude 意为“态度”，也不符合语境；activity 意为“活动”，同样不符合句意。因此，impact 是最佳选项。

I must have looked deep in thought，or as deep in thought as an 11 year old man can，when my grandmother glanced up from her weeding to ask，“You have something on your mind，don't you？”
“Yes，I was thinking that someday I want to be an Olympic speed skating champion like my hero，Eric Heiden，I want to be a doctor like my parents and I want to help children in Africa.”
I immediately knew I had confided in the right person when a knowing smile broke across her face.“Johann，of course! You can do anything you want to do！” she said simply.And with my grandmother's support，I set out to pursue my passions.
14 years later，I was well ready to take hold of my first dream：becoming an Olympic champion.The Olympics in 1994 were in my home country，Norway.As I entered the Olympic stadium，I wasn't the best athlete，and many had doubts about my ability to perform well.But I had something special working for me.I had a woman in the first row who believed in me following my passions just as much as I did.For the first time ever，my grandmother was going to see me skate.
It happened.Breaking a world record，I won the gold.As I stood on the podium（领奖台） that I had dreamed about my entire life，a curious question popped into my head.Why me Why did I win，given all the other incredible competitors out there The reason had to be more than a grandmother who shared a belief in her grandson's dream.The question led me to only one answer：because I wanted to make a difference in the world，and with all the media attention on my success，I could.
I immediately knew what that difference had to be：hope in the lives of the children in Africa.Six months earlier，I'd been invited to Eritrea as an ambassador for Olympic Aid.

In his 1936 work How to Win Friends and Infuence People, Dale Caegie wrote: “I have come to the conclusion that there is only one way to get the best of an argument - and that is to avoid it.” This distaste for arguments is common, but it depends on a mistaken view of arguments that causes problems for our personal and social lives -and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place.
Caregie would be right if arguments were fights, which is how we often think of them. Like physical fights，verbal （言语的） fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win, you end up no better off.You would be feeling almost as bad if arguments were even just competitions - like, say, tennis toumaments. Pairs of opponents hit the ball back and forth until one winner comes out from all who entered. Everybody else loses. This kind of thinking explains why so many people try to avoid arguments.
However, there are ways to win an argument every time. When you state your position, formulate （阐述） an argument for what you claim and honestly ask yourself whether your argument is any good. When you talk with someone who takes a stand, ask them to give you a reason for their view and spell out their argument fully. Assess its strength and weakess. Raise objections （异议） and listen carefully to their replies. This method will require effort.but practice will make you better at it.
These tools can help you win every argument － not in the unhelpful sense of beating your opponents but in the better sense of learing about what divides people, leaming why they disagree with us and leaming to talk and work together with them. If we read just our view of arguments－from a verbal fight or tennis game to a reasoned exchange through which we all gain respect and understanding from each other－then we change the very nature of what it means to “win" an argument.
28. Why do many people try to avoid arguments
A. They lack debating skills.
B. They may feel bad even if they win.
C. They are not confident in themselves.
D. They fear being ignored.
29. What’s the writer’s attitude towards Carnegie's understanding of argument
A. Critical. B. Supportive.
C. Tolerant. D. Indifferent.
30. What does the underlined phrase “spell out" in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Defend. B. Explain.
C. Conclude. D. Repeat.
31.What is the key to “winning" an argument according to the author
A. Sense oflogic. B. Solid supporting evidence.
C.Understanding from both sides. D. Proper manners.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. B 31. C
【解析】这是一篇说明文。作者阐述了争论的意义和赢得争论的方法。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Like physical fights, verbal （言语的） fights can leave both sides bloodied. Even when you win, you end up no better off. You would be feeling almost as bad if arguments were even just competitions — like, say, tennis tournaments.（和身体上的打斗一样，言语上的打斗也会让双方流血。即使你赢了，你最终也不会变得更好。如果争论只是一场比赛，比如网球比赛，你也会感觉很糟糕）”可知， 很多人尽量避免争论，是因为即使赢了他们也感觉很糟糕，故选B。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“This distaste for arguments is common, but it depends on a mistaken view of arguments that causes problems for our personal and social lives — and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place.（这种对争论的厌恶是很普遍的，但它取决于对争论的错误看法，这种观点会给我们的个人和社会生活带来问题——而且在很多方面，它首先忽略了争论的意义）”可知，作者对于Carnegie对争论的看法持批判态度，故选A。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线短语所在句“ask them to give you a reason for their view”可知，让他们为自己的观点提供依据，即让他们充分阐明他们的观点，spell out意为“解释明白，讲清楚”，故选B。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“If we readjust our view of arguments — from a verbal fight or tennis game to a reasoned exchange through which we all gain respect and understanding from each other — then we change the very nature of what it means to “win” an argument.（如果我们重新调整我们对争论的看法——从一场口水战或网球比赛转变为一种理性的交流，通过这种交流，我们都能获得彼此的尊重和理解——那么我们就改变了‘赢得’争论的本质）”可知，作者认为“赢得”争论的关键是通过交流获得彼此的尊重和理解，故选C。
D
When driving, Clara-Marina Martinez takes down any unusual behaviour she sees on the road. she then feeds these into machine-learning algorithms（算法）, a form of AI, which areintended to produce a system reliable enough for a car to drive itself without any disturbance from the driver, and cope with all situations on the road. But this proving hard to achieve,carmakers choose to scale back many attempts to do so. Last year, for instance, Uber, a ride-hailing service, sold off its unit developing self-driving cars at a low price.
Autonomous vehicles are boasted as being not just convenient but potentially safer.However, just as people take time to learn how to drive safely, machines are no exception. The RAND Corporation, an American think-tank, calculates that to develop a system 20% safer than ahuman driver, a fleet of 100 self-driving cars would have to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and cover 14 billion kilometres. At average road speeds, that would take about 400 years.
Carmakers such as Porsche therefore accelerate the development process using simulators （模拟器）. These teach software about danger only rarely encountered in reality. Dr Martinez and her colleagues employ "game engines", the programs that generate photo realistic images in computer games, to do this.These are used to create virtual worlds through which the software can drive.
How quickly, if ever, all this will translate into reality remains to be seen. Both regulators and customers will need to overcome doubt that a software driver really can be safer than human.From Porsche's point of view, though, there is one other relevant question. Given that much of the reason for owning a sports car is for owners to show off what they regard as their driving skills, just how big a market will there be for a version where software takes those boasting rights away
32. What do the underlined words“scale back" mean in Paragraph 1
A.Reduce
B.Overlook
C. Make
D.Encourage
33. The learning process of autonomous vehicles' safe driving can be described as ________.
A.Fast-paced
B.Thought-provoking
C. Time-consuming
D.Well-designed
34. What challenge do autonomous vehicles bring to Porsche
A. Making their sports cars affordable.
B. Integrating game engines into their vehicles.
C. Removing public doubts about safety.
D.Ensuring the pleasure of driving.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Porsche: sports Cars at Risk
B. Self-driving Cars: still some Way to Go
C.Simulators: The Core of Autonomous Vehicles
D.Machine Learning Algorithms: The Arrival of AI
【答案】32.A 33.C 34.D 35.B
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了开发自动驾驶汽车的问题以及对跑车市场的影响。
【32 题详解】词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Last year, for instance,Uber,a ride-hailing service,sold off its unit developing self-driving cars at a low price. 例如,去年,叫车服务公司优步（uber）低价出售了开发自动驾驶汽车的部门”可知，后文低价出售自动驾驶汽车的部门的例子说明汽车制造商选择减少许多这样做的尝试。故划线词意思是“减少”。故选A。
【33 题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“The RAND Corporation,an American think-tank,calculates that to develop a system 20% safer than a human driver, a fleet of 100 self-driving cars would have to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and cover 14 bilion kilometres. At average road speeds, that would take about 400 years. 据美国智库兰德公司（RAND Corporation）计算，要开发一个比人类驾驶员安全 20%的系统，100 辆自动驾驶汽车的车队必须一年 365天，每天 24 小时运行，行驶 140 亿公里。按照平均道路速度，这需要大约400 年的时间 ”可知，自动驾驶汽车安全驾驶的学习过程是非常耗时的。故选C。
【34 题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“From Porsche's point of view,though,there is one other relevant question.Given that much of the reason for owning a sports car is for owners to show off what they regard as their driving skills, just how big a market will there be for a version where software takes those boasting rights away 不过，从保时捷的角度来看，还有一个相关的问题。考虑到拥有跑车的主要原因是为了炫耀他们认为自己的驾驶技术，那么一个软件夺走了这些炫耀权利的版本会有多大的市场 ”可知，自动驾驶汽车在确保驾驶的乐趣方面会给保时捷带来挑战。故选D。
【35题详解】主旨大意题。根据第二段“Autonomous vehicles are boasted as being not just convenient but potentially safer, However, just as people take time to learn how to drive safely machines are no exception, The RAND Corporation, an American think-tank, calculates that to develop a system 20% safer than a human driver, a fleet of 100 self-driving cars would have to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and cover 14 billion kilometres. At average road speeds that would take about 400 years. 自动驾驶汽车被吹嘘为不仅方便，而且可能更安全。然而，就像人们花时间学习如何安全驾驶一样，机器也不例外。据美国智库兰德公司（RANDCorporation）计算，要开发一个比人类驾驶员安全 20%的系统，100 辆自动驾驶汽车的车队必须一年 365 天，每天 24 小时运行，行驶 140 亿公里。按照平均道路速度，这需要大约400年的时间”结合文章主要讲述开发自动驾驶汽车的问题以及对跑车市场的影响。可知，B选项“自动驾驶汽车:仍有一段路要走”最符合文章标题。故选 B。

What gives your life meaning It is an important and natural practical question that we all ask ourselves at times. It circles around the notion of having a purpose and a reason to wake up and move forward in our lives. 36 Is it time to bring it back on track Here's how to get started.
Treat your depression.
Your depression empties your energy and damages your motivation. 37 Therefore, the key here is taking action no matter what you start with: tackling the depression directly through taking medicines or consulting doctors to get you moving forward. What the action is matters less than taking action itself.
Get out of your head into your emotion.
If you are heavily driven by what you should do, you need to start rewiring your brain to use your emotions as information. 38 Once you notice them, do something concrete with them - again, act.That is how you learn to trust your emotions and use them to guide you, andhow you rewire your brain.
Explore,experiment.
You can't figure out your sense of purpose by sitting on the couch and thinking it over 39 You also need to focus on doing different experiments with being bold, and taking acceptable risks.
The path to discovering or reigniting your sense of purpose is not about making a new decision but focusing on the process that leads to that decision. 40
Start by focusing on those slightest feelings telling you what you want and don't want.
B. It may be caused by physical or emotional limitations that take away joy.
C. Without them, you don't make the changes that can pull you out of the depression.
D. However, for many, that sense of purpose has been absent for long stretches.
E. Instead, you need to explore, try things and see what sticks, what works, what doesn't.
F. Hence, your emotions are your source of passion, desire, and energy.
G.Therefore, you need to clear away obstacles that keep you from acting and moving forward.
【答案】36.D 37.C 38.A 39.E 40.G
【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了开发自动驾驶汽车的问题以及对跑车市场的影响。
【36 题详解】
根据前文“What gives your life meaning lt is an important and natural practical question that we all ask ourselves at times. It circles around the notion of having a purpose and a reason to wake up and move forward in our lives.是什么赋予了你生命的意义 这是我们时常问自己的一个重要而自然的实际问题。它围绕着这样一个概念:有一个目标和理由来唤醒我们，让我们的生活中前进”以及后文“Is it time to bring it back on track Here's how to get started.是时候让它重回正轨了吗 下面是如何开始”可知，空处应是一个过渡句，又介绍什么是生命的意义过渡到,让它回到正轨,所以D项,However, for many, that sense of purpose has been absent for long stretches. 然而，对许多人来说，这种目标感已经缺失了很长一段时间”符合文意，起到过渡作用，其中purpose为同词复现。故选D项。
【37 题详解】
根据本段小标题“Treat your depression治疗抑郁症”以及前文“Your depression empties your energy and damages your motivation.你的抑郁会耗尽你的精力,损害你的动力”可知，本段的主题是摆脱抑郁，所以C项“without them,you don't make the changes that can pull you out of the depression.没有他们,你就无法做出改变,让你摆脱抑郁”符合本段主题，其中 depression为同词复现。故选C项。
【38 题详解】
根据前文“If you are heavily driven by what you should do,you need to start rewiring your brain to use your emotions as information. 如果你被你应该做的事情严重驱使,你需要开始重新连接你的大脑，把你的情绪作为信息”以及后文“once you notice them,do something concrete with them-again,act.一旦你注意到它们，用它们做一些具体的事情--再次强调，行动”可知，本段主要讲述了注意自己的情绪，让情绪引导自己做事，所以A项“Start by focusing on those slightest feelings telling you what you want and don't want.从关注那些告诉你想要什么和不想要什么的最轻微的感觉开始”符合本段主题，承接上下文。故选A项。
【39 题详解】
根据本段小标题“Explore,experiment 探索，实验”可知，本段主要讲述了在生活中去探索和实验，所以E项“Instead, vou need to explore,try thines and see what sticks what works,what doesn’t.相反，你需要探索，尝试，看看什么行得通，什么行不通”符合本段主题，其中 explore 为同词复现。故选E项。
【40 题详解】
设空位于段尾，是对前文的总结，根据前文“The path to discovering or reigniting your sense of purpose is not about making a new decision but focusing on the process that leads to that decision.发现或重燃目标感的途径不是做一个新的决定，而是关注导致这个决定的过程”可知，G项“Therefore, you need to clear away obstacles that keep you from acting and moving forward. 因此，你需要清除阻碍你行动和前进的障碍”和前文构成因果关系，是对前文的总结。故选G项。

Many northerners have the habit of __9__ (store) food for a long time. But due to the hot and wet weather in the south, southern Chinese people prefer __10__ (buy) just enough food for one meal or one day. Otherwise, the food may go bad.

【答案】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了南方人和北方人在购买食物的习惯上的差异。
56. seems
57. for
58.what
59. potatoes
60.However
61.is
62. be kept
63. usually
64. storing
65. to buy/buying
【56题详解】
考查动词的时态。句意：中国人似乎一直喜欢讨论北方人和南方人之间的差异。根据句意可知，本句描述的是客观事实，故应用一般现在时。
【57题详解】
考查介词。句意：北方人和南方人在市场买食物的方式。shop for意为“购买……”，故本空应填介词for。【58题详解】
考查宾语从句的连接词。句意：南方人一般一次只买一两顿饭需要的东西。本空引导宾语从句，从句缺宾语，意为“所……的东西”，故本空应填what。
【59题详解】
考查名词。句意：他们一次只买半颗大白菜、两个土豆和二十五克牛肉是正常的。根据空前的two可知，本空应用复数形式potatoes。
【60题详解】
考查副词。上文表述：他们一次只买半颗大白菜、两个土豆和二十五克牛肉是正常的。设空后表述：在北方，你要是这样做是要被嘲笑的。根据句意可知，设空前后是转折关系，故填However。
【61题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意：相反，购买足够一周的蔬菜和肉类是正常的。本句中动名词短语作主语，故谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式is。
【62题详解】
考查动词的语态。句意：在北方，食物可以被保存很长时间。本句主语Food和动词keep之间为被动关系，且前有情态动词can，故本空应用被动语态be kept。
【63题详解】
考查词性转换。句意：因为那里天气通常是很冷的。本空修饰形容词cold and dry，故应用副词usually “通常地”作状语。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：许多北方人有长期储存食物的习惯。根据空前的介词of可知，本空应用动名词storing作介词of的宾语。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：但由于南方天气炎热潮湿，中国南方人更喜欢买仅够一顿饭或一天吃的食物。prefer to do/doing sth.意为“喜欢做某事”，故本空应填to buy/buying。
五、单句语法填空（共 15 小题;每小题1分，满分 15 分）
阅读下列的句子，根据句意在空白处填入1个恰当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式，并将答案填写在答题卡上标号的相应位置。
66.The researcher admitted ______ （make） errors in the AI’s interpretation of oracle bones. （所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】making/having made
【解析】考查非谓语动词。admit + 动名词（主动形式）表示承认自己的行为，这里也可用动名词的完成式。句意：研究人员承认在人工智能对甲骨文的解读中犯了错误。动词“admit”后接动名词作宾语，表示“承认做了某事”。根据句意，错误是在过去发生的，因此需要用动名词的完成式“having made”，表示“承认已经犯了错误”。故填 having made。若需强调动作在承认之前已完成，可用 having made（完成式动名词），但此处一般式 making 更简洁且符合语境。
67. Despite knowing it would affect his grade, John__________（ignore）the homework for more than once to spend more time practising for the basketball finals.（所给词的适当形式填空）

【答案】previous
【解析】考查动名词。根据汉语提示“先前的”，合适的英文单词是“previous”。句意：尽管他之前的尝试都失败了，但他坚持自己的目标，最终实现了梦想。空格处需要一个形容词来修饰名词“attempts”（尝试），表示“先前的”或“之前的”含义。
74.The committee members ______（debate） the budget plan for three hours before reaching an agreement.
【答案】had been debating
【解析】考查过去完成进行时。句意：委员会成员在达成协议前已就预算计划辩论了三小时。“辩论”动作持续到达成协议前，强调过程，用过去完成进行时。故填 had been debating。
75. The museum’s latest exhibition, ______（feature） indigenous art, has attracted thousands of visitors.（所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】featuring
【解析】考查现在分词。句意：博物馆最新的展览以土著艺术为特色，已吸引数千游客。feature 与 exhibition 为主动关系，用现在分词作后置定语。故填 featuring。
76. The ______（disappear） of the ancient forest was caused by severe deforestation.（所给词的适当形式填空）

81. Canada is a country _______ _______ （由.....组成）many different nationalities as well as one with foreign immigrants （构成） _______ _______ the majority of its population.
【答案】consisting of; making up
【解析】考查动词短语。第一处需要一个短语来修饰名词“a country”，表示“由……组成”的意思。“consist of” 表示“由……组成”，常用于描述事物的构成部分。“made up of” 也可以表示“由……组成”，但通常用作被动语态。因此，“consisting of” 是最合适的答案。第二处需要一个短语来描述“foreign immigrants”（外国移民）与“the majority of its population”（大多数人口）之间的关系。用“making up” 表示“构成……的一部分”能符合语义要求。注意辨析“taking up”占据（空间、时间等），不符合语义。因此，“making up” 是最合适的答案。

【参考范文】
Dear Principal Chen,
As the leader of the Tech Club, I’m writing to propose an elective course blending AI with intangible heritage preservation. Such a course would not only bridge the gap between tradition and innovation but also ignite students’ cultural awareness.
The curriculum could include modules like 3D modeling of ancient artifacts and AI algorithms restoring damaged murals. For instance, students might train models to analyze traditional embroidery patterns, which are at risk of being forgotten. Additionally, field trips to workshops would allow hands-on practice with craftsmen.
Were this course to be implemented, it might cultivate interdisciplinary talents while safeguarding cultural roots. A recent survey shows 78% of our members express interest in such a hybrid program.Should this proposal gain your favorable consideration，we would be more than grateful.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
【作文亮点】
语言十分丰富， “Were this course to be implemented, it might cultivate.... ”用虚拟语气，突出假设；“...analyze traditional embroidery patterns, which are at risk of being forgotten. ”使用非限制性定语从句，补充说明开设课程的必要性。可进阶表达为：“The proposed course, which combines machine learning with intangible heritage, would not only enhance our technical skills but also deepen cultural understanding. （定语从句＋并列结构not only...but also...）Were we to implement this program, students might discover innovative ways to preserve traditions. ”（虚拟语气）
