In my childhood, my mother spent her evening hours doing something for someone else.
Sometimes she knitted (编织) hats for babies, and at other times, she cooked chicken soup for sick
neighbors. So I wasn’t 1 when one evening my mother said she had taken on a new
project.
“I am going to telephone seniors (老年人),” said my mother. “Every 2 But you
don’t even know these people.” “It doesn’t matter,” she said. “What’s important is that I
3 .” I was fifteen years old and couldn’t understand why my mother was willing to spend her
evenings talking to 4 . She had friends and my two older sisters to call if she felt lonely.
“They will talk all the time on the phone. Some people didn’t even stop to catch breath.” I said.
My attitude (态度) didn’t stop my mother’s love for the project. That evening, I listened as
she 5 the woman on the other line about her day and what she had eaten for dinner.
When she finished the call, I said, “ 6 do you care whether (是否) she had cookies or
rice pudding for dessert ” My mother said, “I’m the 7 person she talked to today.”
It took me more than thirty years to 8 understand the meaning of my mother’s
words. Now, as my mother is nearly eighty, I find myself thinking about those nightly 9
she used to make. I am often the only person who telephones my mother, and sometimes I’m the
only person she speaks to all day. I ask her what she cooked for dinner, but mostly I just listen as
she describes a walk she took, or how her dog Lucky stole foods from the fridge. I 10

选项。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Dear Linda,
Your brother sounds like a very selfish person. But I want to know what makes him act this
way. Since he seems to be doing this on purpose, maybe the only way to do with the problem is to
try to find the cause.
I think your brother is probably hurt in some ways. Perhaps he feels unsafe because he is
not a full part of the family. He could be displeased with your mother’s love for the rest of you
over him.
It is wrong to fight anger with anger though you think it is a need to help your mother. I
suggest you try to help your brother by treating him with more care and love. It must be hard for
him to grow up in a family where his sisters have their real mother but he doesn’t. Try to let him
know that you care about him. With time he may come to know how lucky he is and start to treat
you all with the same kindness that you give him.
Yours Truly,
Sue Clarke

I looked around the ship, and then, I found some long pieces of wood. I made a raft (木筏)
by tying them together with ropes. Then I got the things that I wanted from the ship. There was a
big box of food. I also took many sharp knives and other tools, the ship’s sails and seven guns.
There were some hills around me, so I decided to build myself a little house on one of them.
After some time, I found a little cave (洞穴) in the side of a hill. In front of it, there was a good
place to make a home. After a lot of hard work I had a very fine tent. The cave at the back of my
tent was a good place to keep my food, so I called it my “kitchen”. The next day I thought about
the possible dangers on the island. So I built a very strong fence (篱笆). Making tents and building
fences were hard. I need many tools to help me. So I decided to go back to the ship again, and get
some more things.
I went back twelve times, but soon after my twelfth visit, there was another terrible storm.
The next morning, when I looked out at the sea, there was no ship.
When I saw that, I was very sad. “Why am I alive (活着), and why are all my friends dead ”
I asked myself, “What will happen to me now, alone on this island without friends How can I
ever get away from here ”
Then I told myself that I was lucky—lucky to be alive, lucky to have food and tools and
lucky to be young and strong. I said to myself, “I’m going to be on this island for a long time.” So
on a long piece of wood I carve (雕刻) these words: I CAME HERE ON 30TH SEPTEMBER
1659. After that, I decided to carve the date each day.
— Adapted from Robinson Crusoe

Three people were sitting around a table in a restaurant in Brazil. How much do you think
each of them tipped
The Briton asked, “It’s common to tip 10 percent, right ”
The American man cried, “Oh, I was planning to leave 20 percent!”
The Chinese woman asked, “What’s a tip ”
Although it is not a tradition to tip in China, tipping is a big deal in the United States. There,
it is common to tip about 15 to 20 percent of the bill.
Usually, people give tips to a waiter or waitress. The US tops the list of tipping-waiters and
waitresses are expecting to get 15-20 percent of the bill. So if you order $100 in food, you are
expected to pay your waiter at least $15, making your payment $115 in all.
Why is this Many waiters and waitresses get paid below the US minimum wage (最低工
资), and tips make up for that. Some states pay their servers only $2.13 per hour.
It is not just for waiters, either. Hotel workers, hairdressers and taxi drivers also expect tips.
Tipping is also popular in some Southeast Asian countries, like Indonesia and Thailand.
However, in Japan, there is a no-tipping culture. If you try to give a waiter or waitress money, you
may actually upset him or her.
18．What did the Chinese woman mean
A．She didn’t want to give any tip. B．She believed tipping should be little.
C．She thought 20 percent was not enough. D．She didn’t know anything about tipping.
19．Why is tipping a big deal in the United States
A．Because it is not a tradition for servers to get payment.
B．Because waiters and waitresses get very low wages.
C．Because the US sets a minimum wage for every person.
D．Because there are too many serving jobs in the US.
20．Which country does not have a culture of tipping
A．Britain B．Indonesia C．Thailand D．Japan
21．What is the story mainly about
A．How Americans eat out. B．Tipping culture worldwide.
C．Why high tips are expected. D．Shared service traditions.
D
A single researcher with a desktop computer can now make correct weather forecasts using
a new AI method that is much faster and uses far less computing power than traditional systems.
At present, weather forecasts are made through many difficult steps, each taking hours.
These systems need supercomputers and large teams of experts to develop and keep them working.
However, Aardvark Weather offers a new method by training AI to collect data from
weather stations, satellites, weather balloons, ships, and planes around the world to make
predictions. This promises improvements in forecast speed, correctness, and cost, according to
research published in Nature by the University of Cambridge, the Alan Turing Institute, Microsoft
Research, and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF).
Professor Richard Turner from the University of Cambridge explained that this new method
can quickly create specialized forecasts for different industries or locations. For example, it could
guess temperatures for farms in Africa or wind speeds for wind energy companies in Europe.
Traditional weather systems require large teams and supercomputers to deal with data and create
forecasting models, taking hours for just one forecast.
“This is a totally different method,” Turner said, adding that the model would finally be
able to provide correct eight-day forecasts, compared to the present five-day limit, and offer more
localized predictions.
Dr. Scott Hosking from the Alan Turing Institute said that this breakthrough could make
weather forecasting available to more countries, especially developing countries. It will also help
governments, emergency teams, and businesses that need weather predictions.
Dr. Anna Allen, the lead author of the paper, highlighted that this research could improve
forecasts of natural disasters like hurricanes and wildfires, as well as problems like air quality and
sea ice predictions.
Aardvark builds from research from Huawei, Google, and Microsoft, replacing a key step in
the traditional method with AI, which makes forecasts faster and more correct. It is already in use
at the ECMWF.
Researchers found that Aardvark only needs 10% of the data used by present systems, yet
in some areas, it does better than the US National GFS forecasting system and matches the
correctness of the US Weather Service.
22．What is the main advantage of the new AI weather prediction method
A．It depends on supercomputers. B．It requires large teams of experts.
C．It predicts for longer periods of time. D．It works faster with less computing power.
23．What makes the new weather prediction model different from traditional systems
A．It mainly predicts weather for developed countries.
B．It can hardly predict natural disasters and air quality.
C．It gathers data from different sources across the world.
D．It only pays attention to specific industries like agriculture.
24．What can we infer about the new weather prediction method
A．It doesn’t need human effort. B．It is more expensive to use.
C．It requires less data to work. D．It doesn’t develop specialized forecasts.
25．What is the purpose of the article
A．To describe weather forecasting history. B．To introduce a new AI weather model.
C．To criticize traditional weather systems. D．To explain the role of supercomputers.

During this summer holiday, I traveled to Hainan to learn surfing, one of the most popular
water sports. On the first day, the sun was 39 brightly in the sky. I learnt some basic skills.
First, put the surfboard into the waves then lie down on the surfboard and wait for the waves to
come. 40 , when the waves come, let the surfboard “catch” the waves and try to stand on
it.
After practicing a few times on the beach, I 41 follow the coach to the sea. But I
failed to follow the coach’s 42 of standing up at the right time. I fell into the sea and
ended up drinking a lot of seawater. But the coach was very 43 and encouraged me a
lot.

with the rushing waves.

My family has always had family dinners, as far as I can remember. Since I was a little boy,
my mother has insisted (坚持) that we attend family dinners at least once a week. Every Sunday,
my mother would prepare a lot of food and bring it to my grandma’s house. We would wait for
more family members to come before eating together at the table, my grandma’s dinner table.
I used to feel that was a silly little tradition. But now I find it’s fantastic to get together as a
family to talk about anything and everything after a long week of school and work. Every time I
sit at the dinner table, my grandma’s dinner table, I look around and find so many people who
truly love me. It’s a love that feels so good. For me, dinner is not just a meal, but a chance to
reconnect with each other.
I finally realize the true meaning of this tradition. It’s not about the dinners or activities. It’s
about family, a group of people who care about each other. All the memories (记忆) around my
grandma’s dinner table will last forever.
Now, I’m always expecting Sunday to arrive.

Dear Linda,
Your brother sounds like a very selfish person. But I want to know what makes him act this
way. Since he seems to be doing this on purpose, maybe the only way to do with the problem is to
try to find the cause.
I think your brother is probably hurt in some ways. Perhaps he feels unsafe because he is
not a full part of the family. He could be displeased with your mother’s love for the rest of you
over him.
It is wrong to fight anger with anger though you think it is a need to help your mother. I
suggest you try to help your brother by treating him with more care and love. It must be hard for
him to grow up in a family where his sisters have their real mother but he doesn’t. Try to let him
know that you care about him. With time he may come to know how lucky he is and start to treat
you all with the same kindness that you give him.
Yours Truly,
Sue Clarke

by tying them together with ropes. Then I got the things that I wanted from the ship. There was a

There were some hills around me, so I decided to build myself a little house on one of them.
After some time, I found a little cave (洞穴) in the side of a hill. In front of it, there was a good
place to make a home. After a lot of hard work I had a very fine tent. The cave at the back of my
tent was a good place to keep my food, so I called it my “kitchen”. The next day I thought about
the possible dangers on the island. So I built a very strong fence (篱笆). Making tents and building
fences were hard. I need many tools to help me. So I decided to go back to the ship again, and get
some more things.
I went back twelve times, but soon after my twelfth visit, there was another terrible storm.
The next morning, when I looked out at the sea, there was no ship.
When I saw that, I was very sad. “Why am I alive (活着), and why are all my friends dead ”
I asked myself, “What will happen to me now, alone on this island without friends How can I
ever get away from here ”
Then I told myself that I was lucky—lucky to be alive, lucky to have food and tools and
lucky to be young and strong. I said to myself, “I’m going to be on this island for a long time.” So
on a long piece of wood I carve (雕刻) these words: I CAME HERE ON 30TH SEPTEMBER
1659. After that, I decided to carve the date each day.

Three people were sitting around a table in a restaurant in Brazil. How much do you think
each of them tipped
The Briton asked, “It’s common to tip 10 percent, right ”
The American man cried, “Oh, I was planning to leave 20 percent!”
The Chinese woman asked, “What’s a tip ”
Although it is not a tradition to tip in China, tipping is a big deal in the United States. There,
it is common to tip about 15 to 20 percent of the bill.
Usually, people give tips to a waiter or waitress. The US tops the list of tipping-waiters and
waitresses are expecting to get 15-20 percent of the bill. So if you order $100 in food, you are
expected to pay your waiter at least $15, making your payment $115 in all.
Why is this Many waiters and waitresses get paid below the US minimum wage (最低工
资), and tips make up for that. Some states pay their servers only $2.13 per hour.
It is not just for waiters, either. Hotel workers, hairdressers and taxi drivers also expect tips.
Tipping is also popular in some Southeast Asian countries, like Indonesia and Thailand.
However, in Japan, there is a no-tipping culture. If you try to give a waiter or waitress money, you
may actually upset him or her.
18．What did the Chinese woman mean
A．She didn’t want to give any tip. B．She believed tipping should be little.
C．She thought 20 percent was not enough. D．She didn’t know anything about tipping.
19．Why is tipping a big deal in the United States
A．Because it is not a tradition for servers to get payment.
B．Because waiters and waitresses get very low wages.
C．Because the US sets a minimum wage for every person.
D．Because there are too many serving jobs in the US.
20．Which country does not have a culture of tipping
A．Britain B．Indonesia C．Thailand D．Japan
21．What is the story mainly about
A．How Americans eat out. B．Tipping culture worldwide.
C．Why high tips are expected. D．Shared service traditions.
【答案】18．D 19．B 20．D 21．B
【导语】本文介绍了在世界各国人们给服务员小费的情况。
18．推理判断题。根据“Although it is not a tradition to tip in China, tipping is a big deal in the
United States.”可知，在中国给小费不是一种传统，因此那个中国女人的意思是她对给小费一
无所知。故选 D。
19．细节理解题。根据“Many waiters and waitresses get paid below the US minimum wage (最
低工资), and tips make up for that.”可知，给小费在美国是件大事，因为服务员的工资很低。
故选 B。
20．细节理解题。根据“However, in Japan, there is a no-tipping culture.”可知，在日本，没有
小费的文化。故选 D。

A single researcher with a desktop computer can now make correct weather forecasts using
a new AI method that is much faster and uses far less computing power than traditional systems.
At present, weather forecasts are made through many difficult steps, each taking hours.
These systems need supercomputers and large teams of experts to develop and keep them working.
However, Aardvark Weather offers a new method by training AI to collect data from
weather stations, satellites, weather balloons, ships, and planes around the world to make
predictions. This promises improvements in forecast speed, correctness, and cost, according to
research published in Nature by the University of Cambridge, the Alan Turing Institute, Microsoft
Research, and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF).
Professor Richard Turner from the University of Cambridge explained that this new method
can quickly create specialized forecasts for different industries or locations. For example, it could
guess temperatures for farms in Africa or wind speeds for wind energy companies in Europe.
Traditional weather systems require large teams and supercomputers to deal with data and create
forecasting models, taking hours for just one forecast.
“This is a totally different method,” Turner said, adding that the model would finally be
able to provide correct eight-day forecasts, compared to the present five-day limit, and offer more
localized predictions.
Dr. Scott Hosking from the Alan Turing Institute said that this breakthrough could make
weather forecasting available to more countries, especially developing countries. It will also help
governments, emergency teams, and businesses that need weather predictions.
Dr. Anna Allen, the lead author of the paper, highlighted that this research could improve
forecasts of natural disasters like hurricanes and wildfires, as well as problems like air quality and
sea ice predictions.
Aardvark builds from research from Huawei, Google, and Microsoft, replacing a key step in
the traditional method with AI, which makes forecasts faster and more correct. It is already in use
at the ECMWF.
Researchers found that Aardvark only needs 10% of the data used by present systems, yet
in some areas, it does better than the US National GFS forecasting system and matches the
correctness of the US Weather Service.
22．What is the main advantage of the new AI weather prediction method
A．It depends on supercomputers. B．It requires large teams of experts.
C．It predicts for longer periods of time. D．It works faster with less computing power.
23．What makes the new weather prediction model different from traditional systems
A．It mainly predicts weather for developed countries.
B．It can hardly predict natural disasters and air quality.
C．It gathers data from different sources across the world.
D．It only pays attention to specific industries like agriculture.
24．What can we infer about the new weather prediction method
A．It doesn’t need human effort. B．It is more expensive to use.
C．It requires less data to work. D．It doesn’t develop specialized forecasts.
25．What is the purpose of the article
A．To describe weather forecasting history. B．To introduce a new AI weather model.
C．To criticize traditional weather systems. D．To explain the role of supercomputers.
【答案】22．D 23．C 24．C 25．B
【导语】本文主要介绍了一种新的 AI 天气预报方法 Aardvark Weather，该方法比传统系统
更快、更高效，且能提供更精准的局部预测。
22．细节理解题。根据“A single researcher with a desktop computer can now make correct
weather forecasts using a new AI method that is much faster and uses far less computing power
than traditional systems.”可知，新方法的主要优势是速度快且计算能力需求低。故选 D。
23．细节理解题。根据“However, Aardvark Weather offers a new method by training AI to collect
data from weather stations, satellites, weather balloons, ships, and planes around the world to
make predictions.”可知，新系统的差异在于它从全球不同来源收集数据。故选 C。
24．推理判断题。根据“Researchers found that Aardvark only needs 10% of the data used by
present systems, yet in some areas, it does better than the US National GFS forecasting system and
matches the correctness of the US Weather Service.”可知，研究人员发现 Aardvark 仅需现有系
统 10%的数据量，由此可推断，它对数据的需求量更少。故选 C。
25．主旨大意题。根据“A single researcher with a desktop computer can now make correct
weather forecasts using a new AI method that is much faster and uses far less computing power
than traditional systems.”及全文可知，本文主要是介绍了一种新的 AI 天气预报方法 Aardvark
Weather。故选 B。
