When Suzanne Heywood was seven, she was pulled out of school to go on a three-year voyage around the world. The family of three from the UK set out on their search to recreate Captain Cook’s voyage around the globe, which ended up taking a decade instead of the promised three years. While her parents described the opportunity as a “privilege”, Suzanne compared it to being locked up in prison.
Now 55 years old, Suzanne has shared her tale of survival on TikTok, and recalled her 10 years at sea in her tell-all memoir (回忆录) Wavewalker. She shared details of a perilous journey from South Africa to Australia where the boat hit an enormous storm. “The waves became bigger and finally one crashed over the boat,” she recalled. “I was thrown against the ceiling of the cabin, cracking my skull and breaking my nose. ”
In order to get through her “very strange” childhood, Suzanne was determined to get an education, which was her only hope to lead a normal life. While remote education wasn’t an option in 1969, Suzanne signed up for an Australian correspondence school when she was 13 and studied in the cabin of the boat. When she was 16, her parents sent her to a school in New Zealand while they continued sailing. Despite the gaps in her education, Suzanne eventually landed a spot at Oxford University.
Suzanne’s book instantly became a bestseller and her tale touched the hearts of millions. “Wavewalker is one of the best books I’ve read. I’m so sorry you went through all that,” one person replied, while another said, “Your story has a great impact on me and I realize I can change my life no matter when and how.”

Even if you haven’t held a conversation with Siri or Alexa, you’ve likely encountered a chatbot online. They often appear in a chat window that pops up with a friendly greeting: Thank you for visiting our site. How can I help you today Depending on the site, the chatbot is programmed to respond accordingly and even ask follow-up questions.
Chatbots communicate through speech or text. Both rely on artificial intelligence technologies like machine learning and natural language processing (NLP), which is a branch of artificial intelligence that teaches machines to read, analyze and interpret human language. This technology gives chatbots a baseline for understanding language structure and meaning. NLP, in essence, allows the computer to understand what you are asking and how to appropriately respond.
With developments in deep learning and reinforcement learning, chatbots can interpret more complexities in language and improve the dynamic nature of conversation between human and machine. Essentially, a chatbot tries to match what you’ve asked to an intent that it understands. The more a chatbot communicates with you, the more it understands and the more it learns to communicate like you and others with similar questions. Your positive responses reinforce its answers, and then it uses those answers again.
From customer service chatbots online to personal assistants in our homes, chatbots have started to enter our lives. In almost every industry, companies are using chatbots to help customers easily navigate their websites, answer simple questions and direct people to the relevant points of contact. Personal assistants like Siri and Alexa are designed to respond to a wide range of scenarios and queries, from current weather and news updates to personal calendars, music selections and random questions.
28．Why does the author mention Siri and Alexa in Paragraph 1
A．To give examples of chatbots. B．To show where to find a chatbot.
C．To explain how a chatbot works. D．To compare different chatbots.
29．What is the basis of chatbots
A．Language study. B．Data transmission.
C．Social interaction. D．Natural language processing.
30．What does the underlined word “reinforce” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Inspire. B．Strengthen.
C．Organize. D．Match.
31．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．The future trend of chatbots. B．The author’s predictions.
C．The applications of chatbots. D．The effects of chatbots.
Scientists may be able to predict our risk of stroke by taking pictures of our eyes, according to a study published on Monday.
A stroke happens when blood flow is blocked to a part of the brain, causing disability or death. Currently, doctors can assess a person’s risk of stroke only by performing invasive tests or asking about lifestyle and health factors — such as weight, diet, exercise, smoking and other health conditions, including high blood pressure and diabetes. But scientists have found a new way to predict a stroke: using photos of the eye.
At the back of the eye, there is light - sensitive tissue filled with tiny blood vessels called the retina that we use to see. This intricate blood - vessel network is known to share similarities with the blood vessels in the brain, so scientists can use it to assess blood - vessel damage in the brain.
An international team of ophthalmologists — eye scientists — analyzed pictures of the retinas of more than 45,000 people. They used a specialized imaging technique to help them analyze the quality of the blood vessels. They measured 118 possible differences between individuals’ retina “fingerprints”, related to the density, complexity, twistedness, angles and thickness of the blood vessels. Over an average of 12.5 years, 749 of the study participants had a stroke. They were more likely to be older, male, smokers, diabetic and overweight. They also had higher blood pressure and lower levels of good cholesterol (胆固醇).
After adjusting for these known stroke risk factors and others, the scientists found that 29 measurable “fingerprint” differences were related to the risk of having a stroke for the first time. Of those, 17 were related to the density of the blood vessels, with each change in density linked with a 10 to 19 percent difference in stroke risk.
The ophthalmologists concluded that retina imaging was a practical way to assess individuals’ stroke risk, especially in places where health care resources were tight. Nevertheless, this was an observational study about mainly white British participants, so its findings may not apply to people of different ethnicities.
32．What is a traditional way of assessing the risk of stroke
A．Checking blood flow. B．Designing invasive tests.
C．Inquiring health conditions. D．Taking pictures of the eye.
33．How did the scientists analyze pictures of retina
A．By examining features of blood vessels.
B．By applying various techniques.
C．By employing previous research data.
D．By measuring similarities between individuals.
34．Who is more likely to suffer a stroke
A．A woman with an active lifestyle.
B．A senior with a history of brain disease.
C．A teenager with higher levels of good cholesterol.
D．A man with abnormal density of blood vessels.
35．What is the author’s attitude towards the study
A．Favorable. B．Objective. C．Suspicious. D．Indifferent.
Mastering impromptu (即兴的) communication is challenging but achievable with specific skills to communicate effectively. Here are a few pointers.
Identify a communication goal. What do you want your audience to know and to do How do you want them to feel Having a clear objective paired with an awareness of your audience will narrow your focus. 36
Organize your thoughts. When making formal presentations, most people give a logical structure that audiences can easily follow. But few of us adequately organize thoughts in impromptu situations. 37 In fact, the best speakers maintain audience interest by demonstrating connections among specific points, ideas, for example.
Listen as well as you talk. 38 You should do the opposite: focus on listening so that you can better understand the needs and interests of your conversation partners and respond more effectively. Paraphrasing or asking follow-up questions can help confirm your understanding and provide extra time to think about your response.
Dare to be dull. Don’t feel you need to give a standout performance. One popular saying applies here, “ 39 ” Listeners are more likely to trust and approve of you when you speak like a human being rather than an actor or a robot.
The real problem in impromptu communication isn’t an inability to communicate. 40 Fortunately, a measure of experimentation thought, and practice of the skills can make impromptu speaking opportunities your time to shine.
A．He knows most who speaks least.
B．Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
C．It’s being so nervous that we struggle with the talks.
D．We may assume that it’s impossible to do so on the fly.
E．A clear structure enhances comprehension and engagement.
F．Most people obsess over what to say during impromptu encounters.
G．Then you can prioritize what to say and choose your exact words more wisely.

六、书面表达（本大题共1小题）
67．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。
July 1971, I was taking a summer class in Black-American literature on the campus of SUNY Oneonta in northern New York. Professor James walked into the classroom and announced that he had invited a special guest to class, but his guest was delayed. The class stirred with curiosity and anticipation.
“Who’s coming ” someone asked.
“All I will tell you is that he is the author of one of the books you have read for this class,” he said. “I need a volunteer to meet him in the hall of the administration building and take him here.”
To my amazement, my right hand shot up as though it had a mind of its own. “What am I doing ” I thought. I never volunteered for anything. I was shy and uncomfortable meeting new people. In fact, I was absolutely the wrong person for this job. Realizing my mistake, I pulled my hand down quickly, but it was too late.
“Thank you, David,” Professor James said. “You’d better leave now. He’ll be arriving any minute.”
Seeing no way to back out, I reluctantly got out of my seat and headed for the classroom door. When I reached it, I stopped.
“Umm,” I said. “If I don’t know who this person is, how will I recognize him I’d hate to bring back the wrong guy.”
Professor James laughed. “Good point,” he said. He pulled me aside and whispered a name in my ear. “Alex Haley,” he said.
“Really ” I said. I gave a thumbs-up to the class and left the room.
As I entered the empty hallway, I criticized myself for volunteering. “Why didn’t you let someone else do this ” Alex Haley was the author of The Autobiography (自传) of Malcolm X. He was also famous for his diligence, perseverance and in-depth thinking.
As I walked across the campus, my anxiety grew. I feared that I was about to embarrass myself in front of this famous gentleman by asking stupid questions, or worse, accompanying him in painful silence. I reached the front steps and climbed them slowly.
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为150 左右;
2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
As I pulled open the heavy glass door, I realized why I raised my hand to volunteer for this job.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“I’d like to become a writer, but I don’t know if I have the talent,” I said.

M: If you write a book, there’s a chance that it will be chosen as a movie script. If you make music, licensing deals present the opportunity to earn more money on your songs in the future. But for visual artists, once a work is purchased from the gallery, that’s the only time they’ll get paid.
Artworks can be sold for much higher prices than what they were initially sold for. Therefore, artists are keen to enter the secondary market. Zero Art Fair, a new art fair that offers $0 artworks and a unique contract, has helped artists make that connection. It was created by artists Jennifer Dalton and William Powhida, running from July 19th to 21st in Elizaville, New York. The fair’s contract includes a five-year vesting period during which the artist can borrow back or sell the piece. If the artwork is resold, the artist receives a percentage of the sale price. Artists benefit by clearing storage space, and collectors gain access to art they might not afford otherwise.
Other artists have experimented with unconventional sales methods: Adam Simon created an online network for collectors to “adopt” works of art, and Seth Siegelaub worked with lawyer Robert Projansky to create an open-source legal contract.
But that’s not to say that Zero Art Fair and these other schemes are trying to replace the art market. Any experiment that benefits both creators and collectors is well worth trying.

【解析】24．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The family of three from the UK set out on their search to recreate Captain Cook’s voyage around the globe, which ended up taking a decade instead of the promised three years. While her parents described the opportunity as a “privilege” , Suzanne compared it to being locked up in prison.(这个来自英国的三口之家开始寻找重现库克船长环球航行的机会，结果花了十年时间，而不是原先所说的三年。虽然她的父母把这个机会描述为一种“特权”，但Suzanne把它比作被关在监狱里。)”可知，Suzanne Heywood 把这次航海比作被关在监狱里，结合下文描述航海过程中遭遇巨大风暴、自己受伤等艰难危险情况可知，她认为这是一段糟糕的旅程。故选D项。

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍科学家通过分析视网膜图片中的血管特征来评估中风风险。
【解析】32．细节理解题。根据第一段“Currently, doctors can assess a person’s risk of stroke only by performing invasive tests or asking about lifestyle and health factors—such as weight, diet, exercise, smoking and other health conditions, including high blood pressure and diabetes.(目前，医生只能通过进行侵入性检查或询问生活方式和健康因素（如体重、饮食、锻炼、吸烟和其他健康状况，包括高血压和糖尿病）来评估一个人患中风的风险。)”可知，评估中风风险的传统方法是查询健康状况。故选C项。
33．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“They measured 118 possible differences between individuals' retina 'fingerprints', related to the density, complexity, twistedness, angles and thickness of the blood vessels.(他们测量了个体视网膜“指纹”之间118种可能的差异，这些差异与血管的密度、复杂性、扭曲度、角度和厚度有关。)”可知，科学家们通过检查血管的特征来分析视网膜的图像的。故选A项。
34．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Over an average of 12.5 years, 749 of the study participants had a stroke. They were more likely to be older, male, smokers, diabetic and overweight. They also had higher blood pressure and lower levels of good cholesterol(胆固醇).(在平均12.5年的时间里，749名研究参与者患过中风。他们更有可能是老年人、男性、吸烟者、糖尿病患者和超重者。他们也有较高的血压和较低的好胆固醇水平。)”以及第五段“After adjusting for these stroke risk factors and others, the scientists found that measurable 'fingerprint' differences were related to the risk of having a stroke for the first time. Of those, 17 were related to the density of the blood vessels, with each change in density linked with a 10 to 19 percent difference in stroke risk.(在对这些中风风险因素和其他因素进行调整后，科学家们发现，可测量的“指纹”差异与第一次中风的风险有关。其中，17个与血管密度有关，密度的每一个变化都与中风风险的10%到19%的差异有关。)”可知，年龄大、男性、吸烟、糖尿病、超重、高血压、低水平的好胆固醇以及血管密度异常的人更容易中风，故选D项。
35．推理判断题。分析全文内容可知，作者在文中先是介绍了研究发现的通过眼睛图片预测中风风险这一成果，同时也指出了研究的局限性，即文章最后一段中“Nevertheless, this was an observational study about mainly white British participants, so its findings may not apply to people of different ethnicities.(这是一项主要针对英国白人参与者的观察性研究，所以其发现可能不适用于不同种族的人)”，所以作者既肯定了研究成果又指出不足，整体态度是客观公正的。故选B项。

39．根据下文“Listeners are more likely to trust and approve of you when you speak like a human being rather than an actor or a robot. (当你像一个人而不是演员或机器人那样说话时，听众更可能信任和赞同你。)”说明想要让对方更加信任自己，我们不应该像机器人那样发挥完美，机械回答，应该更像人类一样，有一些小错误，因此B项“Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. (不要让完美成为好的敌人。)”与下文相一致。故选B。

【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍的是被誉为“中国核潜艇之父”的黄旭华的生平事迹及其对中国海军发展的重大贡献。
【解析】56．考查形容词。句意：但他的卓越事迹和坚定不移的精神将永远铭刻在我们心中。此处需要使用形容词来修饰名词deeds，remark的形容词为remarkable意为“非凡的”符合句意。故填remarkable。
57．考查被动语态。句意：同上。此空位于助动词will之后，所以使用动词原形，engrave与主语之间为被动关系，所以该句为一般将来时的被动语态，谓语动词为will be engraved，will已在原句中。故填be engraved。
58．考查名词复数。句意：1926年出生于广东省的黄旭华，在童年时期目睹了祖国在外来侵略下的苦难。此处为名词作宾语，suffer的名词为suffering意为“痛苦”，通常使用复数形式，表示多次或多种痛苦。故填sufferings。
59．考查冠词。句意：这些经历在他心中种下了一颗坚定的种子，他发誓要为一个更强大的中国而努力奋斗。seed意为“种子”为可数名词单数，所以此处使用冠词，结合句意，此处表示“一颗坚定的种子”，为泛指意义，且firm的首个音素为辅音，所以此处使用不定冠词a。故填a。

61．考查动词不定式。句意：为了保护项目的机密性，他们切断了与外界甚至家人的联系。此处为非谓语动词作状语，结合句意，此处表示“为了……”，所以此处使用动词不定式作目的状语，位于句首单词首字母需大写。故填To safeguard。
62．考查介词。句意：由于无法获得外国的专业知识，他们在设计和开发过程中只能依靠自己的研究。此处为固定搭配access to…意为“接触或获取……的途径”符合句意，所以此处使用介词to。故填to。

64．考查谓语动词。句意：这一成就标志着中国海军历史上的一个重要里程碑。此处为谓语动词，结合句意，此处讲述的是一个客观事实，所以此处使用一般现在时，且主语This achievement为第三人称单数。故填marks。
65．考查状语从句中的省略。句意：在我们自己的生活中，当面对困难时，我们也应该愿意迎接挑战，永不放弃。此处为when引导的时间状语从句的省略结构，时间状语从句中的主语和主句的主语一致，且谓语动词中含有be动词时，可以省略“主语+be动词”，该句中face与逻辑主语we之间为被动关系，所以此处使用face的过去分词形式faced，be faced with意为“面对”，且主从句主语一致，所以此处省略了“we are”。故填faced。
66．【答案】One possible version:
Living in Harmony with Nature
Today, the relationship between humans and nature has become increasingly threatened. Deforestation, pollution, and climate change are just a few examples of the harm we’ve done to our planet.
As teenagers, we may feel powerless against such large-scale problems, but even small actions can lead to significant changes. We can start by minimizing waste and promoting recycling, such as saving water and electricity, and reducing the use of disposable items. Additionally, participating in tree planting campaigns and beach clean-ups not only beautifies our surroundings but also fosters a sense of responsibility towards nature.
Let’s work together to build a sustainable future and live in harmony with nature.

67．【答案】As I pulled open the heavy glass door, I realized why I raised my hand to volunteer for this job. This man was what I want to be: a writer. He was living my dream. I could learn from him. I paced back and forth across the polished hall floor until a black man with a briefcase entered the building. He stopped and scanned the hall. His gaze fell on me. “Mr. Haley ” I said. “Yes,” he said. “I’m from Professor James’ class. Welcome,” I said. “Thank you,” he said. He extended his hand, and we shook. As we crossed the campus, I was struck by how approachable this man was. My fear was replaced by curiosity and purpose.
“I’d like to become a writer, but I don’t know if I have the talent,” I said. Mr. Haley laughed and said, “If you want to become a writer, don’t worry about whether you have some magic al gift. Just keep writing, and don’t give up until you succeed.” After my conversation with Alex Haley, I no longer obsessed over the “gift”. Instead, I started writing every day. Within two years, I published three stories in national children’s magazines. Had I not volunteered to meet this extraordinary man, I would never have received the benefit of his wise advice and the rewards that followed.
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了1971年7月，作者在纽约州立大学奥尼昂塔分校参加美国黑人文学暑期班。詹姆斯教授走进教室，宣布他邀请了一位特殊的作家来上课，但是他的客人迟到了。詹姆斯教授需要一个志愿者在行政大楼的大厅里等这位作家，把他带到这里来，作者不知为什么举起了手。作者穿过校园时，作者的焦虑与日俱增。作者担心自己会在这位著名的绅士面前出丑，问一些愚蠢的问题，或者更糟。

由第一段首句内容“当我拉开沉重的玻璃门时，我意识到我为什么要举手自愿做这份工作”可知，第一段可描写作者接这个神秘来客的过程以及作者的心理变化
②由第二段首句内容“我想成为一名作家，但我不知道我是否有这个天赋，”我说”可知，第二段可描写作家对作者的鼓励以及获得的成就。
2.续写线索：与作家对话——恐惧消失——作家对作者的鼓励——作者取得了成就
3.词汇激活

When Suzanne Heywood was seven, she was pulled out of school to go on a three-year voyage around the world. The family of three from the UK set out on their search to recreate Captain Cook’s voyage around the globe, which ended up taking a decade instead of the promised three years. While her parents described the opportunity as a “privilege”, Suzanne compared it to being locked up in prison.
Now 55 years old, Suzanne has shared her tale of survival on TikTok, and recalled her 10 years at sea in her tell-all memoir (回忆录) Wavewalker. She shared details of a perilous journey from South Africa to Australia where the boat hit an enormous storm. “The waves became bigger and finally one crashed over the boat,” she recalled. “I was thrown against the ceiling of the cabin, cracking my skull and breaking my nose. ”
In order to get through her “very strange” childhood, Suzanne was determined to get an education, which was her only hope to lead a normal life. While remote education wasn’t an option in 1969, Suzanne signed up for an Australian correspondence school when she was 13 and studied in the cabin of the boat. When she was 16, her parents sent her to a school in New Zealand while they continued sailing. Despite the gaps in her education, Suzanne eventually landed a spot at Oxford University.
Suzanne’s book instantly became a bestseller and her tale touched the hearts of millions. “Wavewalker is one of the best books I’ve read. I’m so sorry you went through all that,” one person replied, while another said, “Your story has a great impact on me and I realize I can change my life no matter when and how.”
24．What did Suzanne Heywood describe her ten-year voyage as

Even if you haven’t held a conversation with Siri or Alexa, you’ve likely encountered a chatbot online. They often appear in a chat window that pops up with a friendly greeting: Thank you for visiting our site. How can I help you today Depending on the site, the chatbot is programmed to respond accordingly and even ask follow-up questions.
Chatbots communicate through speech or text. Both rely on artificial intelligence technologies like machine learning and natural language processing (NLP), which is a branch of artificial intelligence that teaches machines to read, analyze and interpret human language. This technology gives chatbots a baseline for understanding language structure and meaning. NLP, in essence, allows the computer to understand what you are asking and how to appropriately respond.
With developments in deep learning and reinforcement learning, chatbots can interpret more complexities in language and improve the dynamic nature of conversation between human and machine. Essentially, a chatbot tries to match what you’ve asked to an intent that it understands. The more a chatbot communicates with you, the more it understands and the more it learns to communicate like you and others with similar questions. Your positive responses reinforce its answers, and then it uses those answers again.
From customer service chatbots online to personal assistants in our homes, chatbots have started to enter our lives. In almost every industry, companies are using chatbots to help customers easily navigate their websites, answer simple questions and direct people to the relevant points of contact. Personal assistants like Siri and Alexa are designed to respond to a wide range of scenarios and queries, from current weather and news updates to personal calendars, music selections and random questions.
28．Why does the author mention Siri and Alexa in Paragraph 1
A．To give examples of chatbots. B．To show where to find a chatbot.
C．To explain how a chatbot works. D．To compare different chatbots.
29．What is the basis of chatbots
A．Language study. B．Data transmission.
C．Social interaction. D．Natural language processing.
30．What does the underlined word “reinforce” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Inspire. B．Strengthen.
C．Organize. D．Match.
31．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．The future trend of chatbots. B．The author’s predictions.
C．The applications of chatbots. D．The effects of chatbots.
Scientists may be able to predict our risk of stroke by taking pictures of our eyes, according to a study published on Monday.
A stroke happens when blood flow is blocked to a part of the brain, causing disability or death. Currently, doctors can assess a person’s risk of stroke only by performing invasive tests or asking about lifestyle and health factors — such as weight, diet, exercise, smoking and other health conditions, including high blood pressure and diabetes. But scientists have found a new way to predict a stroke: using photos of the eye.
At the back of the eye, there is light - sensitive tissue filled with tiny blood vessels called the retina that we use to see. This intricate blood - vessel network is known to share similarities with the blood vessels in the brain, so scientists can use it to assess blood - vessel damage in the brain.
An international team of ophthalmologists — eye scientists — analyzed pictures of the retinas of more than 45,000 people. They used a specialized imaging technique to help them analyze the quality of the blood vessels. They measured 118 possible differences between individuals’ retina “fingerprints”, related to the density, complexity, twistedness, angles and thickness of the blood vessels. Over an average of 12.5 years, 749 of the study participants had a stroke. They were more likely to be older, male, smokers, diabetic and overweight. They also had higher blood pressure and lower levels of good cholesterol (胆固醇).
After adjusting for these known stroke risk factors and others, the scientists found that 29 measurable “fingerprint” differences were related to the risk of having a stroke for the first time. Of those, 17 were related to the density of the blood vessels, with each change in density linked with a 10 to 19 percent difference in stroke risk.
The ophthalmologists concluded that retina imaging was a practical way to assess individuals’ stroke risk, especially in places where health care resources were tight. Nevertheless, this was an observational study about mainly white British participants, so its findings may not apply to people of different ethnicities.
32．What is a traditional way of assessing the risk of stroke
A．Checking blood flow. B．Designing invasive tests.
C．Inquiring health conditions. D．Taking pictures of the eye.
33．How did the scientists analyze pictures of retina
A．By examining features of blood vessels.
B．By applying various techniques.
C．By employing previous research data.
D．By measuring similarities between individuals.
34．Who is more likely to suffer a stroke
A．A woman with an active lifestyle.
B．A senior with a history of brain disease.
C．A teenager with higher levels of good cholesterol.
D．A man with abnormal density of blood vessels.
35．What is the author’s attitude towards the study
A．Favorable. B．Objective. C．Suspicious. D．Indifferent.
Mastering impromptu (即兴的) communication is challenging but achievable with specific skills to communicate effectively. Here are a few pointers.
Identify a communication goal. What do you want your audience to know and to do How do you want them to feel Having a clear objective paired with an awareness of your audience will narrow your focus. 36
Organize your thoughts. When making formal presentations, most people give a logical structure that audiences can easily follow. But few of us adequately organize thoughts in impromptu situations. 37 In fact, the best speakers maintain audience interest by demonstrating connections among specific points, ideas, for example.
Listen as well as you talk. 38 You should do the opposite: focus on listening so that you can better understand the needs and interests of your conversation partners and respond more effectively. Paraphrasing or asking follow-up questions can help confirm your understanding and provide extra time to think about your response.
Dare to be dull. Don’t feel you need to give a standout performance. One popular saying applies here, “ 39 ” Listeners are more likely to trust and approve of you when you speak like a human being rather than an actor or a robot.
The real problem in impromptu communication isn’t an inability to communicate. 40 Fortunately, a measure of experimentation thought, and practice of the skills can make impromptu speaking opportunities your time to shine.
A．He knows most who speaks least.
B．Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
C．It’s being so nervous that we struggle with the talks.
D．We may assume that it’s impossible to do so on the fly.
E．A clear structure enhances comprehension and engagement.
F．Most people obsess over what to say during impromptu encounters.
G．Then you can prioritize what to say and choose your exact words more wisely.

六、书面表达（本大题共1小题）
67．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。
July 1971, I was taking a summer class in Black-American literature on the campus of SUNY Oneonta in northern New York. Professor James walked into the classroom and announced that he had invited a special guest to class, but his guest was delayed. The class stirred with curiosity and anticipation.
“Who’s coming ” someone asked.
“All I will tell you is that he is the author of one of the books you have read for this class,” he said. “I need a volunteer to meet him in the hall of the administration building and take him here.”
To my amazement, my right hand shot up as though it had a mind of its own. “What am I doing ” I thought. I never volunteered for anything. I was shy and uncomfortable meeting new people. In fact, I was absolutely the wrong person for this job. Realizing my mistake, I pulled my hand down quickly, but it was too late.
“Thank you, David,” Professor James said. “You’d better leave now. He’ll be arriving any minute.”
Seeing no way to back out, I reluctantly got out of my seat and headed for the classroom door. When I reached it, I stopped.
“Umm,” I said. “If I don’t know who this person is, how will I recognize him I’d hate to bring back the wrong guy.”
Professor James laughed. “Good point,” he said. He pulled me aside and whispered a name in my ear. “Alex Haley,” he said.
“Really ” I said. I gave a thumbs-up to the class and left the room.
As I entered the empty hallway, I criticized myself for volunteering. “Why didn’t you let someone else do this ” Alex Haley was the author of The Autobiography (自传) of Malcolm X. He was also famous for his diligence, perseverance and in-depth thinking.
As I walked across the campus, my anxiety grew. I feared that I was about to embarrass myself in front of this famous gentleman by asking stupid questions, or worse, accompanying him in painful silence. I reached the front steps and climbed them slowly.
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为150 左右;
2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
As I pulled open the heavy glass door, I realized why I raised my hand to volunteer for this job.

【听力材料】
M: If you write a book, there’s a chance that it will be chosen as a movie script. If you make music, licensing deals present the opportunity to earn more money on your songs in the future. But for visual artists, once a work is purchased from the gallery, that’s the only time they’ll get paid.
Artworks can be sold for much higher prices than what they were initially sold for. Therefore, artists are keen to enter the secondary market. Zero Art Fair, a new art fair that offers $0 artworks and a unique contract, has helped artists make that connection. It was created by artists Jennifer Dalton and William Powhida, running from July 19th to 21st in Elizaville, New York. The fair’s contract includes a five-year vesting period during which the artist can borrow back or sell the piece. If the artwork is resold, the artist receives a percentage of the sale price. Artists benefit by clearing storage space, and collectors gain access to art they might not afford otherwise.
Other artists have experimented with unconventional sales methods: Adam Simon created an online network for collectors to “adopt” works of art, and Seth Siegelaub worked with lawyer Robert Projansky to create an open-source legal contract.
But that’s not to say that Zero Art Fair and these other schemes are trying to replace the art market. Any experiment that benefits both creators and collectors is well worth trying.

The fair’s contract includes a five-year vesting period during which the artist can borrow back or sell the piece. If the artwork is resold, the artist receives a percentage of the sale price. Artists benefit by clearing storage space, and collectors gain access to art they might not afford otherwise.
Other artists have experimented with unconventional sales methods: Adam Simon created an online network for collectors to “adopt” works of art, and Seth Siegelaub worked with lawyer Robert Projansky to create an open-source legal contract.
But that’s not to say that Zero Art Fair and these other schemes are trying to replace the art market. Any experiment that benefits both creators and collectors is well worth trying.

【解析】24．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The family of three from the UK set out on their search to recreate Captain Cook’s voyage around the globe, which ended up taking a decade instead of the promised three years.

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍科学家通过分析视网膜图片中的血管特征来评估中风风险。
【解析】32．细节理解题。根据第一段“Currently, doctors can assess a person’s risk of stroke only by performing invasive tests or asking about lifestyle and health factors—such as weight, diet, exercise, smoking and other health conditions, including high blood pressure and diabetes.(目前，医生只能通过进行侵入性检查或询问生活方式和健康因素（如体重、饮食、锻炼、吸烟和其他健康状况，包括高血压和糖尿病）来评估一个人患中风的风险。)”可知，评估中风风险的传统方法是查询健康状况。故选C项。
33．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“They measured 118 possible differences between individuals' retina 'fingerprints', related to the density, complexity, twistedness, angles and thickness of the blood vessels.(他们测量了个体视网膜“指纹”之间118种可能的差异，这些差异与血管的密度、复杂性、扭曲度、角度和厚度有关。)”可知，科学家们通过检查血管的特征来分析视网膜的图像的。故选A项。
34．细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Over an average of 12.5 years, 749 of the study participants had a stroke. They were more likely to be older, male, smokers, diabetic and overweight. They also had higher blood pressure and lower levels of good cholesterol(胆固醇).(在平均12.5年的时间里，749名研究参与者患过中风。他们更有可能是老年人、男性、吸烟者、糖尿病患者和超重者。他们也有较高的血压和较低的好胆固醇水平。)”以及第五段“After adjusting for these stroke risk factors and others, the scientists found that measurable 'fingerprint' differences were related to the risk of having a stroke for the first time. Of those, 17 were related to the density of the blood vessels, with each change in density linked with a 10 to 19 percent difference in stroke risk.(在对这些中风风险因素和其他因素进行调整后，科学家们发现，可测量的“指纹”差异与第一次中风的风险有关。其中，17个与血管密度有关，密度的每一个变化都与中风风险的10%到19%的差异有关。)”可知，年龄大、男性、吸烟、糖尿病、超重、高血压、低水平的好胆固醇以及血管密度异常的人更容易中风，故选D项。
35．推理判断题。分析全文内容可知，作者在文中先是介绍了研究发现的通过眼睛图片预测中风风险这一成果，同时也指出了研究的局限性，即文章最后一段中“Nevertheless, this was an observational study about mainly white British participants, so its findings may not apply to people of different ethnicities.(这是一项主要针对英国白人参与者的观察性研究，所以其发现可能不适用于不同种族的人)”，所以作者既肯定了研究成果又指出不足，整体态度是客观公正的。故选B项。

【解析】56．考查形容词。句意：但他的卓越事迹和坚定不移的精神将永远铭刻在我们心中。此处需要使用形容词来修饰名词deeds，remark的形容词为remarkable意为“非凡的”符合句意。故填remarkable。
57．考查被动语态。句意：同上。此空位于助动词will之后，所以使用动词原形，engrave与主语之间为被动关系，所以该句为一般将来时的被动语态，谓语动词为will be engraved，will已在原句中。故填be engraved。
58．考查名词复数。句意：1926年出生于广东省的黄旭华，在童年时期目睹了祖国在外来侵略下的苦难。此处为名词作宾语，suffer的名词为suffering意为“痛苦”，通常使用复数形式，表示多次或多种痛苦。故填sufferings。

Living in Harmony with Nature
Today, the relationship between humans and nature has become increasingly threatened. Deforestation, pollution, and climate change are just a few examples of the harm we’ve done to our planet.
As teenagers, we may feel powerless against such large-scale problems, but even small actions can lead to significant changes. We can start by minimizing waste and promoting recycling, such as saving water and electricity, and reducing the use of disposable items. Additionally, participating in tree planting campaigns and beach clean-ups not only beautifies our surroundings but also fosters a sense of responsibility towards nature.
Let’s work together to build a sustainable future and live in harmony with nature.

67．【答案】As I pulled open the heavy glass door, I realized why I raised my hand to volunteer for this job. This man was what I want to be: a writer. He was living my dream. I could learn from him. I paced back and forth across the polished hall floor until a black man with a briefcase entered the building. He stopped and scanned the hall. His gaze fell on me. “Mr. Haley ” I said. “Yes,” he said. “I’m from Professor James’ class. Welcome,” I said. “Thank you,” he said. He extended his hand, and we shook. As we crossed the campus, I was struck by how approachable this man was. My fear was replaced by curiosity and purpose.
“I’d like to become a writer, but I don’t know if I have the talent,” I said. Mr. Haley laughed and said, “If you want to become a writer, don’t worry about whether you have some magic al gift. Just keep writing, and don’t give up until you succeed.” After my conversation with Alex Haley, I no longer obsessed over the “gift”. Instead, I started writing every day. Within two years, I published three stories in national children’s magazines. Had I not volunteered to meet this extraordinary man, I would never have received the benefit of his wise advice and the rewards that followed.
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了1971年7月，作者在纽约州立大学奥尼昂塔分校参加美国黑人文学暑期班。詹姆斯教授走进教室，宣布他邀请了一位特殊的作家来上课，但是他的客人迟到了。詹姆斯教授需要一个志愿者在行政大楼的大厅里等这位作家，把他带到这里来，作者不知为什么举起了手。作者穿过校园时，作者的焦虑与日俱增。作者担心自己会在这位著名的绅士面前出丑，问一些愚蠢的问题，或者更糟。
【详解】1.段落续写：
由第一段首句内容“当我拉开沉重的玻璃门时，我意识到我为什么要举手自愿做这份工作”可知，第一段可描写作者接这个神秘来客的过程以及作者的心理变化
②由第二段首句内容“我想成为一名作家，但我不知道我是否有这个天赋，”我说”可知，第二段可描写作家对作者的鼓励以及获得的成就。
2.续写线索：与作家对话——恐惧消失——作家对作者的鼓励——作者取得了成就
3.词汇激活
