One of the advantaged of social media is that we get to see aspects of people’s lives that can be rather surprising. In fact, some of the videos that get shared remind us of the many hidden— and not-so-hidden — talents that are out there.
Recently a video was shared of a construction worker taking a break and treating his co-workers to a beautiful musical interlude (插曲) in their busy day. Archive could, a painter working for a specialized painting company in Edmonton, was carrying out a job in front of a library. Looking in the window, one of his workmates noticed there was a public piano inside.
Gould explained to CTV News that his workmates were aware that he’d played the piano for years, but he’d never been able to showcase his talents. Therefore on the first day on site, could sat down in his paint-stained work clothes to play for his workmates.
“It was so heart melting. I love classical music to begin with. Seeing him playing exceptionally well, I was totally touched,” his work mate, Kerrie bates, shared her reaction to Gould’s performance. As for could, he was also delighted to have the opportunity to show his workmates that he was indeed able to play the piano.
The performance was shared online, where it notched up an impressive number of views. And could come up with why he thought the video had become so popular, “I think half the reason that the video blew up is that I look like a construction worker. No one expects a construction worker to just demonstrate some classical music like it’s nothing.”
However, his performance is not just a lesson in looking beyond a person’s outward appearance, It also reminds us that we should develop our talents gradually and enjoy them as and when we can, While we might not all be able to become professional pianists or singers, there’s so much joy to be had in having a passion and sharing it with others.
4 What role does social media play according to the first paragraph?
A. A platform for people to show talents. B. Means of communication and expression.
C. Place for people to share common interest. D. A tool to remind us of some important things.
5. How did Kerrie bates react to Gould’s performance?
A. She considered it was incredible. B. She thought it held lasting artistic valued,
C. She found it was more accessible to workers. D. She believed it deserved a great deal of fame.
6. What does the underlined phrase “notched up” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Reserved. B. Required. C. Convinced. D. Earned.
7. What does Gould’s story convey?
A. The early bird catches the worm. B. Never judge a book by its cover.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Nothing is difficult to a willing heart,
C
When visiting a doctor in the future, you can expect to be accompanied by a virtual version of yourself. This so-called digital twin will be a working model of your body that can be shown onto a physician’s computer screen. Updated with your latest vital signs, it will help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis (诊断) and provide personalized treatments for the patients.
No matter how unreal this might seem, the researchers at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) already use computer simulations (模拟) of the hearts of patients to test different treatments for a heart disorder. It would be far too dangerous to experiment this way on someone’s real heart.
Digital twins are starting to be seen everywhere. They can not only monitor the health of jet engines on airliners, but also help carmakers spend fewer years on the development of new models by simulating test drives and crashes. All this is being powered by recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI), which gives twins the ability to make predictions about their physical counterparts (对应的事物), and adjust themselves based on new information..
Digital twins make it easier for humans to solve challenging problems, allowing people to have a look into the future. For businesses, this should mean better designs and operations. For society, the promise is also fascinating: personalized health care, and ways to prevent the earth from environmental disasters.
Could these virtual twins go out of control? They might if they are programmed badly, or hacked into. Digital twins will take in mountains of data, some of it wrong and much of it raising concerns about privacy. Yet those risks are a natural part of technological progress. The appearance of the digital mirror world will raise new questions, but its potential benefits are already easy to see.
8. Which of the following best describes a digital twin?
A. A virtual copy. B. A video game. C. A toy model. D. A medical database.
9. Why do researchers at QMUL use computer simulat?ons of hearts?
A. To reduce the time of the heart operation.
B. To use real hearts much more conveniently.
C. To help increase the patients’ recovery rates.
D. To avoid the danger of experimenting on real hearts.
10. How does AI contribute to the development of digital twins?
A. It increases the efficiency of simulations through data analysis.
B. It creates accurate digital copies for medical and industrial use.
C. It enables digital twins to predict results and adapt on their own.
D. It improves virtual models by adding real-time monitoring features.
11. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Digital Twins: A Potential Threat to Privacy
B. Digital Twins: The Future of Problem-Solving
C Digital Twins: A New Age of Medical Treatment
D. Digital Twins: A Double-Edged Sword of Technology
D
Blue Planet II’s latest episode focuses on how plastic is having a disastrous effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastic.
Though it seems now that the world couldn’t possibly function without plastics, consumer plastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s; the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.
We put all these plastics into the environment and we still don’t really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.
And it’s not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning to the same degree as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we don’t have to remake our planet energy system.
This is not a problem where we don’t know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to dispose (处理) of it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single — use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag — when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference.
12. What’s the function of the author mentioning Blue Planet II’s latest episode in the first paragraph?
A. It serves as a comment. B. It serves as a lead-in.
C. It serves as a background. D. It serves as a conclusion.
13. Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science?
A. Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up.
B. Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.
C. The world couldn’t possibly function without plastics.
D. The plastics pollution research is too difficult.
14. How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3?
A. By using examples from his own experience. B. By quotations from leading experts.
C. By statistics. D. By comparison and contrast.
15. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Ocean plastic is a global issue. B. Plastics gain in popularity all over the world.
C. Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken. D. The oceans become choked with plastic.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We all have relationships. We have relatives, classmates, neighbors and probably some friends. ___16___ They are unsatisfying because they lack real strength, and they lack real strength because they lack real depth. I’d like to show you how to build stronger relationships and make your social life a lot more meaningful.

47. 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。
Every time we went to Lehman’s store, I would rush straight to the same shelf. There it was: a brown little guy with a large nose that fit perfectly over my shoulder. I hugged the brown stuffed aardvark (土豚) doll tightly and whispered, “Hi, Artie.”
Last week, my mother finally noticed. “Why do you always disappear?” she asked at checkout. “Next time, your brother is going with you.”
Oh, no! My brother, Rich, was going to accompany me into the store. He would watch me and report everything to our mother.
Anyway, I wasn’t going to give up seeing my precious Artie. So, when Rich and I walked into the store together, I advised him to get the daily groceries, since he was older. He agreed but said I shouldn’t go off to look at the cosmetics (化妆品), as I wasn’t allowed to wear them yet.
He needn’t have worried about that; I was already heading toward Artie. There it was, awaiting me. I grabbed it and hugged it tightly. Just then, I heard my brother: “What in the world are you doing?”
“This is Artie,” I said. “I hug it every single time I come here. Don’t tell Mom. I know we can’t afford it, and I hope it doesn’t get sold, because I just love this little guy.”
The look on Rich’s face was unreadable, but I knew deep down that he wasn’t going to make fun of me. In fact, a few times when he accompanied me to the store, he said, “Go on and hug your ugly animal, if it’s still there, and I’ll get the groceries.”
One day before Thanksgiving Day, Rich was working with Dad somewhere, so Mom took me to Lehman’s but waited outside. “You go in by yourself,” she said. “My legs are tired today. Just don’t take forever, okay?”
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I rushed straight to Artie’s shelf, but it was gone.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On Thanksgiving Day, as we were allowed to open one present, Rich walked up.

“It was so heart melting. I love classical music to begin with. Seeing him playing exceptionally well, I was totally touched,” his work mate, Kerrie bates, shared her reaction to Gould’s performance. As for could, he was also delighted to have the opportunity to show his workmates that he was indeed able to play the piano.
The performance was shared online, where it notched up an impressive number of views. And could come up with why he thought the video had become so popular, “I think half the reason that the video blew up is that I look like a construction worker. No one expects a construction worker to just demonstrate some classical music like it’s nothing.”
However, his performance is not just a lesson in looking beyond a person’s outward appearance, It also reminds us that we should develop our talents gradually and enjoy them as and when we can, While we might not all be able to become professional pianists or singers, there’s so much joy to be had in having a passion and sharing it with others.

When visiting a doctor in the future, you can expect to be accompanied by a virtual version of yourself. This so-called digital twin will be a working model of your body that can be shown onto a physician’s computer screen. Updated with your latest vital signs, it will help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis (诊断) and provide personalized treatments for the patients.
No matter how unreal this might seem, the researchers at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) already use computer simulations (模拟) of the hearts of patients to test different treatments for a heart disorder. It would be far too dangerous to experiment this way on someone’s real heart.
Digital twins are starting to be seen everywhere. They can not only monitor the health of jet engines on airliners, but also help carmakers spend fewer years on the development of new models by simulating test drives and crashes. All this is being powered by recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI), which gives twins the ability to make predictions about their physical counterparts (对应的事物), and adjust themselves based on new information..
Digital twins make it easier for humans to solve challenging problems, allowing people to have a look into the future. For businesses, this should mean better designs and operations. For society, the promise is also fascinating: personalized health care, and ways to prevent the earth from environmental disasters.
Could these virtual twins go out of control? They might if they are programmed badly, or hacked into. Digital twins will take in mountains of data, some of it wrong and much of it raising concerns about privacy. Yet those risks are a natural part of technological progress. The appearance of the digital mirror world will raise new questions, but its potential benefits are already easy to see.
8. Which of the following best describes a digital twin?
A. A virtual copy. B. A video game. C. A toy model. D. A medical database.
9. Why do researchers at QMUL use computer simulat?ons of hearts?
A. To reduce the time of the heart operation.
B. To use real hearts much more conveniently.
C. To help increase the patients’ recovery rates.
D. To avoid the danger of experimenting on real hearts.
10. How does AI contribute to the development of digital twins?
A. It increases the efficiency of simulations through data analysis.
B. It creates accurate digital copies for medical and industrial use.
C. It enables digital twins to predict results and adapt on their own.
D. It improves virtual models by adding real-time monitoring features.
11. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Digital Twins: A Potential Threat to Privacy
B. Digital Twins: The Future of Problem-Solving
C Digital Twins: A New Age of Medical Treatment
D. Digital Twins: A Double-Edged Sword of Technology
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B
D
Blue Planet II’s latest episode focuses on how plastic is having a disastrous effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastic.
Though it seems now that the world couldn’t possibly function without plastics, consumer plastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s; the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.
We put all these plastics into the environment and we still don’t really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.
And it’s not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning to the same degree as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we don’t have to remake our planet energy system.
This is not a problem where we don’t know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to dispose (处理) of it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single — use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag — when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference.
12. What’s the function of the author mentioning Blue Planet II’s latest episode in the first paragraph?
A. It serves as a comment. B. It serves as a lead-in.
C. It serves as a background. D. It serves as a conclusion.
13. Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science?
A. Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up.
B. Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.
C. The world couldn’t possibly function without plastics.
D. The plastics pollution research is too difficult.
14. How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3?
A. By using examples from his own experience. B. By quotations from leading experts.
C. By statistics. D. By comparison and contrast.
15. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Ocean plastic is a global issue. B. Plastics gain in popularity all over the world.
C. Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken. D. The oceans become choked with plastic.

We all have relationships.

【答案】Dear Jack,
I am sorry to hear that you are suffering from TikTok addiction. Actually, it is commonly seen that more and more teenagers get crazy about TikTok and spend a lot of time watching and sharing videos online, which makes them unable to focus on study. Therefore, immediate measures should be taken to stop it. You should start some other hobbies, such as reading, listening to music or playing chess. Besides, you had better make more friends through face-to-face communication.
I do hope my suggestions will be helpful to you. Looking forward to your good news.
Yours,
Li Hua

47. 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。
Every time we went to Lehman’s store, I would rush straight to the same shelf. There it was: a brown little guy with a large nose that fit perfectly over my shoulder. I hugged the brown stuffed aardvark (土豚) doll tightly and whispered, “Hi, Artie.”
Last week, my mother finally noticed. “Why do you always disappear?” she asked at checkout. “Next time, your brother is going with you.”
Oh, no! My brother, Rich, was going to accompany me into the store. He would watch me and report everything to our mother.
Anyway, I wasn’t going to give up seeing my precious Artie. So, when Rich and I walked into the store together, I advised him to get the daily groceries, since he was older. He agreed but said I shouldn’t go off to look at the cosmetics (化妆品), as I wasn’t allowed to wear them yet.
He needn’t have worried about that; I was already heading toward Artie. There it was, awaiting me. I grabbed it and hugged it tightly. Just then, I heard my brother: “What in the world are you doing?”
“This is Artie,” I said. “I hug it every single time I come here. Don’t tell Mom. I know we can’t afford it, and I hope it doesn’t get sold, because I just love this little guy.”
The look on Rich’s face was unreadable, but I knew deep down that he wasn’t going to make fun of me. In fact, a few times when he accompanied me to the store, he said, “Go on and hug your ugly animal, if it’s still there, and I’ll get the groceries.”
One day before Thanksgiving Day, Rich was working with Dad somewhere, so Mom took me to Lehman’s but waited outside. “You go in by yourself,” she said. “My legs are tired today. Just don’t take forever, okay?”
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I rushed straight to Artie’s shelf, but it was gone.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On Thanksgiving Day, as we were allowed to open one present, Rich walked up.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I rushed straight to Artie’s shelf, but it was gone. My heart dropped and panic surged through me. I searched up and down each aisle, my hopes fading with every empty spot. A kind clerk who noticed my distress said gently, “That aardvark doll was sold yesterday.” Tears blurred my vision. How could Artie be gone? Heartbroken, I stumbled out of the store, forcing a smile to Mom who was waiting for me outside. “Is everything alright?” Mom asked. “Nothing much,” I mumbled, hiding my trembling lip.
On Thanksgiving Day, as we were allowed to open one present, Rich walked up. He held out a small, clumsily wrapped box. “It’s for you,” he whispered. With surprise and curiosity, I carefully unwrapped it, and there lay Artie! I gasped, speechless with emotion. Rich grinned, “I bought him with all my savings. Now he’s yours forever.” Overwhelmed with joy, I hugged him tightly, with tears streaming down my cheeks. It wasn’t just a stuffed aardvark doll, but a gift of pure love from my family. It was the best Thanksgiving gift forever.

One of the advantaged of social media is that we get to see aspects of people’s lives that can be rather surprising. In fact, some of the videos that get shared remind us of the many hidden— and not-so-hidden — talents that are out there.
Recently a video was shared of a construction worker taking a break and treating his co-workers to a beautiful musical interlude (插曲) in their busy day. Archive could, a painter working for a specialized painting company in Edmonton, was carrying out a job in front of a library. Looking in the window, one of his workmates noticed there was a public piano inside.
Gould explained to CTV News that his workmates were aware that he’d played the piano for years, but he’d never been able to showcase his talents. Therefore on the first day on site, could sat down in his paint-stained work clothes to play for his workmates.

And it’s not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning to the same degree as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we don’t have to remake our planet energy system.
This is not a problem where we don’t know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to dispose (处理) of it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single — use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag — when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference.

Every time we went to Lehman’s store, I would rush straight to the same shelf. There it was: a brown little guy with a large nose that fit perfectly over my shoulder. I hugged the brown stuffed aardvark (土豚) doll tightly and whispered, “Hi, Artie.”
Last week, my mother finally noticed. “Why do you always disappear?” she asked at checkout. “Next time, your brother is going with you.”
Oh, no! My brother, Rich, was going to accompany me into the store. He would watch me and report everything to our mother.
Anyway, I wasn’t going to give up seeing my precious Artie. So, when Rich and I walked into the store together, I advised him to get the daily groceries, since he was older. He agreed but said I shouldn’t go off to look at the cosmetics (化妆品), as I wasn’t allowed to wear them yet.
He needn’t have worried about that; I was already heading toward Artie. There it was, awaiting me. I grabbed it and hugged it tightly. Just then, I heard my brother: “What in the world are you doing?”
“This is Artie,” I said. “I hug it every single time I come here. Don’t tell Mom. I know we can’t afford it, and I hope it doesn’t get sold, because I just love this little guy.”
The look on Rich’s face was unreadable, but I knew deep down that he wasn’t going to make fun of me. In fact, a few times when he accompanied me to the store, he said, “Go on and hug your ugly animal, if it’s still there, and I’ll get the groceries.”
One day before Thanksgiving Day, Rich was working with Dad somewhere, so Mom took me to Lehman’s but waited outside. “You go in by yourself,” she said. “My legs are tired today. Just don’t take forever, okay?”
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I rushed straight to Artie’s shelf, but it was gone.

One of the advantaged of social media is that we get to see aspects of people’s lives that can be rather surprising. In fact, some of the videos that get shared remind us of the many hidden— and not-so-hidden — talents that are out there.
Recently a video was shared of a construction worker taking a break and treating his co-workers to a beautiful musical interlude (插曲) in their busy day. Archive could, a painter working for a specialized painting company in Edmonton, was carrying out a job in front of a library. Looking in the window, one of his workmates noticed there was a public piano inside.
Gould explained to CTV News that his workmates were aware that he’d played the piano for years, but he’d never been able to showcase his talents. Therefore on the first day on site, could sat down in his paint-stained work clothes to play for his workmates.
“It was so heart melting. I love classical music to begin with. Seeing him playing exceptionally well, I was totally touched,” his work mate, Kerrie bates, shared her reaction to Gould’s performance. As for could, he was also delighted to have the opportunity to show his workmates that he was indeed able to play the piano.
The performance was shared online, where it notched up an impressive number of views. And could come up with why he thought the video had become so popular, “I think half the reason that the video blew up is that I look like a construction worker. No one expects a construction worker to just demonstrate some classical music like it’s nothing.”
However, his performance is not just a lesson in looking beyond a person’s outward appearance, It also reminds us that we should develop our talents gradually and enjoy them as and when we can, While we might not all be able to become professional pianists or singers, there’s so much joy to be had in having a passion and sharing it with others.
4 What role does social media play according to the first paragraph?
A. A platform for people to show talents. B. Means of communication and expression.
C. Place for people to share common interest. D. A tool to remind us of some important things.
5. How did Kerrie bates react to Gould’s performance?
A. She considered it was incredible. B. She thought it held lasting artistic valued,
C. She found it was more accessible to workers. D. She believed it deserved a great deal of fame.
6. What does the underlined phrase “notched up” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Reserved. B. Required. C. Convinced. D. Earned.
7. What does Gould’s story convey?
A. The early bird catches the worm. B. Never judge a book by its cover.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Nothing is difficult to a willing heart,
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. D 7. B

When visiting a doctor in the future, you can expect to be accompanied by a virtual version of yourself. This so-called digital twin will be a working model of your body that can be shown onto a physician’s computer screen. Updated with your latest vital signs, it will help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis (诊断) and provide personalized treatments for the patients.
No matter how unreal this might seem, the researchers at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) already use computer simulations (模拟) of the hearts of patients to test different treatments for a heart disorder. It would be far too dangerous to experiment this way on someone’s real heart.
Digital twins are starting to be seen everywhere. They can not only monitor the health of jet engines on airliners, but also help carmakers spend fewer years on the development of new models by simulating test drives and crashes. All this is being powered by recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI), which gives twins the ability to make predictions about their physical counterparts (对应的事物), and adjust themselves based on new information..
Digital twins make it easier for humans to solve challenging problems, allowing people to have a look into the future. For businesses, this should mean better designs and operations. For society, the promise is also fascinating: personalized health care, and ways to prevent the earth from environmental disasters.
Could these virtual twins go out of control? They might if they are programmed badly, or hacked into. Digital twins will take in mountains of data, some of it wrong and much of it raising concerns about privacy. Yet those risks are a natural part of technological progress. The appearance of the digital mirror world will raise new questions, but its potential benefits are already easy to see.
8. Which of the following best describes a digital twin?
A. A virtual copy. B. A video game. C. A toy model. D. A medical database.
9. Why do researchers at QMUL use computer simulat?ons of hearts?
A. To reduce the time of the heart operation.
B. To use real hearts much more conveniently.
C. To help increase the patients’ recovery rates.
D. To avoid the danger of experimenting on real hearts.
10. How does AI contribute to the development of digital twins?
A. It increases the efficiency of simulations through data analysis.
B. It creates accurate digital copies for medical and industrial use.
C. It enables digital twins to predict results and adapt on their own.
D. It improves virtual models by adding real-time monitoring features.
11. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Digital Twins: A Potential Threat to Privacy
B. Digital Twins: The Future of Problem-Solving
C Digital Twins: A New Age of Medical Treatment
D. Digital Twins: A Double-Edged Sword of Technology
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B
D
Blue Planet II’s latest episode focuses on how plastic is having a disastrous effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench, have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastic.
Though it seems now that the world couldn’t possibly function without plastics, consumer plastics are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s; the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science.
We put all these plastics into the environment and we still don’t really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species, including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent.
And it’s not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning to the same degree as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers (否认者), at least so far. To do something about it, we don’t have to remake our planet energy system.
This is not a problem where we don’t know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbage. Anyone can do it. We know how to dispose (处理) of it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use single — use plastic products. Things that may seem ordinary like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag — when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference.
12. What’s the function of the author mentioning Blue Planet II’s latest episode in the first paragraph?
A. It serves as a comment. B. It serves as a lead-in.
C. It serves as a background. D. It serves as a conclusion.
13. Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science?
A. Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up.
B. Plastics have produced less pollution than coal.
C. The world couldn’t possibly function without plastics.
D. The plastics pollution research is too difficult.
14. How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3?
A. By using examples from his own experience. B. By quotations from leading experts.
C. By statistics. D. By comparison and contrast.
15. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Ocean plastic is a global issue. B. Plastics gain in popularity all over the world.
C. Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbroken. D. The oceans become choked with plastic.

【答案】Dear Jack,
I am sorry to hear that you are suffering from TikTok addiction. Actually, it is commonly seen that more and more teenagers get crazy about TikTok and spend a lot of time watching and sharing videos online, which makes them unable to focus on study. Therefore, immediate measures should be taken to stop it. You should start some other hobbies, such as reading, listening to music or playing chess. Besides, you had better make more friends through face-to-face communication.
I do hope my suggestions will be helpful to you. Looking forward to your good news.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
47. 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。
Every time we went to Lehman’s store, I would rush straight to the same shelf. There it was: a brown little guy with a large nose that fit perfectly over my shoulder. I hugged the brown stuffed aardvark (土豚) doll tightly and whispered, “Hi, Artie.”
Last week, my mother finally noticed. “Why do you always disappear?” she asked at checkout. “Next time, your brother is going with you.”
Oh, no! My brother, Rich, was going to accompany me into the store. He would watch me and report everything to our mother.
Anyway, I wasn’t going to give up seeing my precious Artie. So, when Rich and I walked into the store together, I advised him to get the daily groceries, since he was older. He agreed but said I shouldn’t go off to look at the cosmetics (化妆品), as I wasn’t allowed to wear them yet.
He needn’t have worried about that; I was already heading toward Artie. There it was, awaiting me. I grabbed it and hugged it tightly. Just then, I heard my brother: “What in the world are you doing?”
“This is Artie,” I said. “I hug it every single time I come here. Don’t tell Mom. I know we can’t afford it, and I hope it doesn’t get sold, because I just love this little guy.”
The look on Rich’s face was unreadable, but I knew deep down that he wasn’t going to make fun of me. In fact, a few times when he accompanied me to the store, he said, “Go on and hug your ugly animal, if it’s still there, and I’ll get the groceries.”
One day before Thanksgiving Day, Rich was working with Dad somewhere, so Mom took me to Lehman’s but waited outside. “You go in by yourself,” she said. “My legs are tired today. Just don’t take forever, okay?”

【答案】
I rushed straight to Artie’s shelf, but it was gone. My heart dropped and panic surged through me. I searched up and down each aisle, my hopes fading with every empty spot. A kind clerk who noticed my distress said gently, “That aardvark doll was sold yesterday.” Tears blurred my vision. How could Artie be gone? Heartbroken, I stumbled out of the store, forcing a smile to Mom who was waiting for me outside. “Is everything alright?” Mom asked. “Nothing much,” I mumbled, hiding my trembling lip.
On Thanksgiving Day, as we were allowed to open one present, Rich walked up. He held out a small, clumsily wrapped box. “It’s for you,” he whispered. With surprise and curiosity, I carefully unwrapped it, and there lay Artie! I gasped, speechless with emotion. Rich grinned, “I bought him with all my savings. Now he’s yours forever.” Overwhelmed with joy, I hugged him tightly, with tears streaming down my cheeks. It wasn’t just a stuffed aardvark doll, but a gift of pure love from my family. It was the best Thanksgiving gift forever.
