M:Man is set to enter a new stage of transport as a flying car will go
on sale next year.The BlackFly vehicle was shown publicly for the first
time by the maker Opener in California on Thursday.Larry Page provides
money for the flying car.BlackFly’s designers say it can travel for up to
40 km at a speed of 100 kph.It will eventually cost the same as a regular
car.The vehicle has been tested in Canada, which has authorized its
use.Even though it will fly to the skies, drivers will not need a pilot’s
license to get behind the controls.However, BlackFly operators will have
to successfully complete a pilot’s written examination and receive
training in how to use the vehicle.
Some experts say the term “car” is somewhat of a wrong name as it
has no wheels and cannot be driven on roads.A more accurate description
would be a person-carrying vehicle.The vehicle can only carry one
person.Company CEO Marcus Leng said,“Opener is reenergizing the
art of flight with a safe and affordable flying vehicle that can free its
operators from the everyday restrictions of ground transportation.”
Robert Eustace, the former Senior Vice President of Knowledge said the
age of personal flight could be arriving with BlackFly.He said,“I’ve
noticed that things go from impossible to unavoidable in a very short
period of time.”

Born into a farmer’s family in Dalian, northeast China’s
Liaoning Province, Dong Lina suffered from congenital (先天的) eye
disease and went blind at the age of 10.
Like many visually-impaired children, she finished compulsory
education at a school for disabled people and began learning Tuina. In
2003, she finally obtained a job. Her life then was like a fixed route,
but Dong was unwilling to take it for granted. “Teachers always told me
not to give up learning new knowledge because it could give me more
options in life,” she said.
One day she found an anchor (节目主持人) training program for
visually-impaired youth. Dong realized that this might be her big
moment, and she made a life-changing phone call.
After the training at the organization, Dong was recommended to a
workshop at a radio station where she was the only visually-impaired
person in the class. Her physical disability forced her to make an extra
effort in her spare time. “My pronunciation was often not accurate, yet
I could not correct it by looking into the mirror, and the teacher figured
out a way that I touched his mouth to follow the way he pronounced,”
said Dong.
Despite all the difficulties, Dong achieved the top level in the
Mandarin proficiency test. In 2015, she became the host of a radio
program and in 2020, she returned to the Communication University of
China to pursue a master’s degree in broadcast and television.
“Life may not be perfect, but we can make up for it with our own
hard work and the support of society,” said Dong.

“Zero distractions.” That’s what Cal Newport, author of Digital
Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World, says is
required to have a session of focused productivity he calls “deep work.”
Are zero-distraction moments even available to most of us these
days? After all, every technical innovation that makes our lives more
convenient, like phones and apps and streaming entertainment, is built
for a multi-tasking lifestyle. Listen to music. Add to your grocery list.
Press “buy” on an online shopping cart. Reserve a table for this
weekend. All of these are things many of us do at the same time — and all
too often while we’re doing something else, like working.
Newport described the snags of this lifestyle in an interview with The
New York Times:“Every time you switch your attention from one target
to another and then back again, there’s a cost. This switching creates
an effect that psychologists call attention residue (残留), which can
reduce your cognitive capacity for a substantial amount of time before it
clears. If you constantly make ‘quick checks’ of various devices and
inboxes, you essentially keep yourself in a state of persistent attention
residue, which is a terrible idea if you’re someone who uses your brain
to make a living.”
Instead of moving quickly from activity to activity, Newport urges
us to actively make time for “deep work” every day, time when we are
engaged in cognitively challenging tasks without interruption from
anything else. This could be knitting or reading or learning a language or
meeting a professional goal. The important part is that it needs to be an
activity you can commit to investing your energy in wholeheartedly.
“Getting in the habit of working deeply will,” says Newport,
“lead you to the unavoidable conclusion that concentration is a super
power.” What in your life would you like to approach with a “deep
work” mentality?

28. What can be inferred about zero-distractions moments from paragraph
2?( )
A. They are available to most people.
B. They result from technical innovation.
C. Most people don’t need them at all.
D. It is hard to obtain them nowadays.
解析: 推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知,这些都是我们许多人
同时做的事情,而且常常是在我们做其他事情比如工作时做的。由此
推断,零分心时刻很难获得。
√
29. What does the underlined word “snags” in paragraph 3 mean?
( )
A. Disadvantages. B. Features.
C. Potentials. D. Principles.
解析: 词义猜测题。根据画线词下文可知,Newport描述了这
种生活方式的缺点。由此推知,snags应是“缺点”之意,和A项
意思相近。
√
30. What does Newport recommend doing according to the text?
( )
A. Reducing the use of technology.
B. Doing one thing deeply at a time.
C. Listening to music while working.
D. Balancing multiple activities effectively.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知,Newport建议每次深入
地做一件事。
√
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?( )
A. Multitasking: A Modern Lifestyle
B. The Challenges of Zero Distractions
C. Deep Work: The Key to Focused Productivity
D. The Power of Attention Residue in a Noisy World
√
解析: 标题归纳题。文章首段提出话题“零分心”就是 Cal
Newport 所说的深度工作所需的状态。下文叙述零分心不易,敦促我
们每天积极腾出时间进行深度工作,养成深入工作的习惯将使你不可
避免地得出“专注是一种超级力量”的结论。因此C项(深度工作:
专注生产力的关键)为文章最佳标题。

After 25 years at Mumsnet, the UK’s most popular website for
parents, I thought I’d seen it all with big tech, but Google’s push to
change UK copyright law for uncompensated content scraping (抓取)
left me stunned. We’ve experienced the direct impact of this, launching
the first British legal action against OpenAI for scraping our content —
likely for training its large language model (LLM) — without
approval, a clear copyright violation.
You might wonder why using online content for AI training is a
problem, given Google’s data collection for search purposes since the
dawn of the Internet. When websites allow Google to access their data,
they receive a clear return on investment: the heightened search traffic
(流量) that originates from being listed in Google’s search rankings.
In contrast, AI training is building models such as ChatGPT to provide
the answers to any prospective questions, and that will mean people no
longer need to go elsewhere for solutions. And it is building those models
with illegally scraped content from the very websites it is ready to replace.
Allowing the AI companies to simply steal content isn’t just unfair
to publishers who see no reward for the work they put in, or the risks
they take, it’s also an existing threat to them and eventually
counterproductive. If publishers disappear because the AIs have swept up
all their traffic, then who’s left to produce the content to feed the AI
models?
Mumsnet is fortunate to be in a stronger position than many, as
much of our traffic is direct, not search-engine driven. An AI chatbot can
spit out a “Mumsnet-style” answer to a parenting question, but
they’ll never be as funny about parking wars, and they’ll never offer
the emotional support that helps around 1,000 women leave abusive
partners each year. But if these trillion-dollar giants are allowed to exploit
content producers, and get away with it, they will destroy many of
them, and all the jobs dependent on them.

32. What’s the difference between Google’s data collection and AI
training?( )
A. AI training is more dependent on data diversity.
B. AI training enhances the quality of websites’ content.
C. Google’s data collection benefits websites with traffic.
D. Google’s data collection aims to build large language models.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知,谷歌的数据收集能让
网站获得流量方面的好处,而人工智能训练是为了构建模型来直接提
供答案,让人们无需再去别处找答案。
√
33. What’s the ultimate effect of using unpaid content?( )
A. Innovation in language models.
B. Rejection of AI-generated data.
C. Wider accessibility to content.
D. Decline of content supply.
解析: 推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,如果内容生产者消
失,那么就没有人为人工智能模型提供内容了。由此推知,使用未付
费的内容最终会导致内容供应的减少。
√
34. What gives Mumsnet an advantage over AI chatbots?( )
A. It has a distinctive question-and-answer style.
B. It covers a wide range of human concerns.
C. It features humanized interaction.
D. It boasts a strong search function.
解析: 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,Mumsnet相比人工
智能聊天机器人的优势在于它有人性化的互动,能提供情感支持等。
√
35. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?( )
A. To advocate the acceptance of content scraping.
B. To explore AI’s role in future content creation.
C. To voice worries over tech giant’s misuse of content.
D. To discuss the cooperation of tech giants and publishers.
解析: 写作意图题。根据第一段和第三段内容可知,作者对于科
技公司未经授权抓取内容的行为表示担忧,以及它对内容创造者和出
版商的潜在负面影响。因此,作者写本文的目的是表达对科技巨头滥

east coast, so she found 41 wasn’t so bad, with breathtaking
scenery.
Yet even though Mysha quickly fell in love with running, something

leaking into the environment and small animals 51 in plastic bottles
struggling to chew their way out. These discoveries made Mysha even
more 52 about litter picking. She joined her local litter-picking group
and soon was asked to 53 leadership of the group. Despite the big
volumes of litter being dropped, Mysha and her fellow litter-
pickers 54 to get out and plog.

参考范文:
Dear Tom,
How’s it going? I’m excited to share my unforgettable trip to the
Ocean Park last Sunday with you.
The moment I stepped into the park, I was fascinated by the vibrant
marine world. The colorful sea creatures were so charming that I
couldn’t take my eyes off them. During the trip, I also participated in a
photography contest with the theme “Wonderful Ocean Moments”. My
entry featured a dolphin gracefully leaping out of the water, its body
shining in the sunlight — a perfect representation of the park’s beauty
and vitality.
I’m looking forward to hearing about your recent adventures and
exchanging ideas about photography. Let’s catch up soon!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节(满分25分)
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。
Squeaky wasn’t expected to do much around the house, but she
was responsible for looking after her sister Louise, who was
intellectually disabled. People in their Harlem neighborhood often made
fun of Louise, but Squeaky didn’t hesitate to stand up for her. As
Squeaky was an incredibly fast runner, she could just run away if things
got too heated. In fact, Squeaky won many races she competed in,
sometimes losing to her classmate and friend, Gretchen. These days,
Squeaky and Gretchen were talking about who of them would win in the
coming May Day race.
Squeaky often ran around the neighborhood, training for races and
performing breathing exercises, and Louise usually went together.
Louise often caused trouble in public, drawing the anger of neighbors to
whom Squeaky must apologize. But Squeaky didn’t mind as long as
Louise didn’t interfere (干扰) with her training.
Presently, Squeaky was practicing running in the neighborhood with
Louise when she spotted Gretchen running towards them. When they came
close, they all stopped. Gretchen looked at Louise in curiosity, which
was taken as a provocation by Squeaky, who stepped forward in defense.
Gretchen stepped back and smiled kindly.Relieved, Squeaky introduced
Louise to Gretchen and explained why she was defensive.
Gretchen laughed, saying she was curious because she was surprised
that Louise should be able to run as fast as Squeaky. “Is she also training
for the May Day race?” Gretchen asked.
Squeaky’s eyes lit up. “Why haven’t I ever thought of this?”
she thought. Gretchen’s words reminded her of an idea she had never
thought of. “I decided to quit running and coach Louise instead. I have
many awards, but Louise has nothing,” she told Gretchen. Gretchen
was almost touched to tears by Squeaky’s consideration for her sister.
“Can I work together with you?” Gretchen asked with enthusiasm.
The two friends looked at each other in agreement.
注意:(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式作答。
The coaching was no easy job.
May Day finally arrived.
参考范文:
The coaching was no easy job. Gretchen played the role of the referee
who fired the gun. Squeaky ran together with Louise. To make the race
like a real one, Gretchen even asked some of her friends to cheer them on
the way and some others to play the role of other runners. The training
became an uplifting scene in the neighborhood. Now even the neighbors
who used to get annoyed by Louise were excited to join the cheering
crowd. Louise’s progress was evident and she ran even faster than
Squeaky and she learned to run without Squeaky’s company.
May Day finally arrived. Louise was standing at the starting line of
the 50-yard dash with other runners. The gun went off, and Louise
started to run. She ran really fast like an arrow that leaves the string. With
more and more people joining the cheering crowd, the race became the
most attractive event of the May Day celebrations. Louise won the race as
expected. She was awarded a medal and Squeaky had never seen her
happier. Squeaky and Gretchen threw themselves at Louise, feeling
proud that they had discovered her running potential.
