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？
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。一次只做一件事很重要，深度工作是专注生产力的关键。
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：D 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：A 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：B 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：C 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。
D
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.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。作者结合自身经历和行业观察，对科技公司未经授权抓取内容用于人工智能训练的行为表达了观点，并探讨了这种行为对内容创作者及整个互联网生态系统的潜在影响。
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：C 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：D 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：C 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：C 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用内容的担忧。

语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了中国科学家卢琦因在防治荒漠化领域的贡献获得联合国环保奖的消息。
56.was awarded 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。根据时间状语on 12 December 2024可知，事情发生在过去，时态应用一般过去时；主语 Chinese scientist Lu Qi与 award之间是被动关系，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，且主语是第三人称单数。故填was awarded。
57.addressing 考查非谓语动词。本句谓语为was awarded，空处为非谓语动词，one’s contributions to 表示“某人对……的贡献”，其中to是介词，应用address的动词-ing形式，作宾语。故填addressing。
58.that/who 考查定语从句。空处引导定语从句，先行词是Chinese，指人，关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语。故填that/who。
59.and 考查连词。in carrying out the world’s largest afforestation （造林） project与in establishing expert research networks and partnerships是并列关系。故填and。
60.recognition 考查名词。本空作表语，且被the highest修饰，应用名词。故填recognition。
61.devoted 考查非谓语动词。be devoted to表示“致力于”，本句谓语为is，此处为非谓语动词作后置定语，修饰the scientists and technologists，应用过去分词形式。故填devoted。
62.to protect 考查非谓语动词。本句谓语为recognizes，此处为非谓语动词。make efforts to do sth表示“努力做某事”，为固定搭配，所以本空用动词不定式。故填to protect。
63.since 考查介词。根据have been honored可知，句子时态是现在完成时，“since＋时间点”常与现在完成时连用，表示“自从……以来”。故填since。
64.actively 考查副词。本空修饰动词contribute，作状语，应用副词形式。故填actively。
65.effective 考查形容词。空处修饰 desertification control technologies，用形容词与adaptable并列，作定语。故填effective。

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

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.

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.
24.Why did Dong learn Tuina？（ ）
A.To have a fixed route. B.To make a living.
C.To become an anchor. D.To pursue a degree.
25.How did Dong improve her pronunciation？（ ）
A.By following the way directly. B.By touching her own mouth.
C.By feeling the teacher’s mouth. D.By looking into the mirror.
26.What may mainly contribute to Dong’s success？（ ）

“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.
29.What does the underlined word “snags” in paragraph 3 mean？（ ）
A.Disadvantages. B.Features.
C.Potentials. D.Principles.
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.
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

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.
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.
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.
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.
