阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Skip the West End and discover some exciting, theatrical treasures—maybe in a pub or under a railway station—in one of London’s many alternative theatres. If you want to experience the glorious rush of discovering a five-star show in a 50-capacity auditorium, for a £ 10 ticket, off-West End is the way to go.
Theatre 503
Through the always-buzzing Latchmere Pub, up a very narrow staircase, and beyond a dinky foyer(门厅), you will find yourself at Theatre 503. It can hold 63 people at a time, which is a tight squeeze even then. But it’ s well worth the intimacy(亲密感) that you’ll necessarily share with your neighbour for the outstanding productions.
King’s Head Theatre
Perhaps the perfect example of London pub theatre, the King’s Head has been in business since the 1970s. The King’s Head is consistent only in its stubborn refusal to be pigeonholed or, indeed to be made into anything else. It feels like London theatre’s uncle who still wears ripped jeans and listens to cool music, refusing to give up its idealistic integrity for something perhaps more sensible but far less fun.
Soho Theatre
An institution that hardly needs introducing, Soho Theatre has been at the forefront for new writing and comedy for decades, producing some of the most exciting new talent on the scene today. As the name suggests, the theatre sits in the centre of Soho, and its bar has become a hub for artists and audiences alike.
Vaults Theatre
A truly unique place made up of eleven disused train tunnels below Waterloo station, with an atmosphere all of its own. Not only is Vaults Theatre home to some of the most thrilling immersive and alternative theatre, it’s also leading the way in accessibility, offering a pay-what-you-can ticket price on Wednesdays and Sundays as of Autumn 2022.
1. What is mentioned about Theatre 503?
A. Its creator. B. Its history. C. Its capacity. D. Its popularity.
2. What does King’s Head Theatre feature?
A. Keeping itself. B. Reasonable price.
C. Being more sensible. D. Beauty in appearance.
3. Which of the following made use of abandoned railways?
A. Theatre 503. B. King’s Head Theatre.
C. Soho Theatre. D. Vaults Theatre.
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。如果你想花10英镑，在一个能容纳50人的礼堂里体验一场五星级演出的快感，那么去伦敦的边缘剧院是不二之选。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Theatre 503部分的“It can hold 63 people at a time, which is a tight squeeze even then.(它可以同时容纳63人，即使在当时也是很挤的)”可知，文中提到了该剧院的容纳力。故选C。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。 根据King’s Head Theatre部分的“The King’s Head is consistent only in its stubborn refusal to be pigeonholed or, indeed to be made into anything else. It feels like London theatre’s uncle who still wears ripped jeans and listens to cool music, refusing to give up its idealistic integrity for something perhaps more sensible but far less fun.（国王的脑袋唯一的一贯之处，就是它顽固地拒绝被归类，甚至拒绝被做成别的东西。这感觉就像伦敦剧院的叔叔，他仍然穿着破洞牛仔裤，听着很酷的音乐，拒绝放弃理想主义的完整性，去追求一些可能更明智但远没有那么有趣的东西。）”可知，该剧院唯一的一贯之处，就是它顽固地拒绝被归类，拒绝被做成别的东西。也就是说，该剧院一直保持自我。故选A。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Vaults Theatre部分的内容“A truly unique place made up of eleven disused train tunnels below Waterloo station, with an atmosphere all of its own. （这是一个真正独特的地方，由滑铁卢车站下面的11条废弃的火车隧道组成，有自己的氛围。）”可知，该剧院由滑铁卢车站下面11条废弃的火车隧道组成。故选D。
B
Gary McKee, a 53-year-old from England, completed a challenge that many might never dare to try—365 marathons in 365 days.
In 1997, McKee found his father had cancer—which was disastrous for his family. "One word sort of turned our world upside down,” McKee told Fox News Digital of the impact on his family. After losing his father in 2003, McKee wanted to do something in memory of him, which is why he took the challenge to run 365 marathons in 365 days. He became a fundraiser for Macmillan Cancer Support. His goal was to raise about $1.2 million by the end of that year.
On January 1st, 2022, the challenge officially began—and McKee was on his way to running 9, 563 miles. “There was always an air of excitement because you didn’t know who was going to be outside running with you,” McKee said. He would run his course each morning before going to work starting at 8 a. m. Then, halfway through the year, a previous injury started to bother him, so he had to change his start time to 6 a. m. to manage his pace. While the injury could have dampened his spirits, he said he saw the slower pace as a “blessing”, as it allowed more people to run alongside him.
“People will often challenge, ‘How are you going to do that?’ What they mean is they don’t believe that you can. My question then is, ‘How am I not going to do it? You tell me why you think I can’t.’ There is always more reason to do something than there is not to do it. “His entire community supported him for the full year by either joining him on the road or cheering him on from the sidelines. However, it was his family’s support that encouraged him the most and helped him “rest easy”.
By the time Gary McKee got to the end of his run, he had raised over $1 million.
4. Why did Gary McKee start the marathons?
A. To honour his father. B. To raise money for the poor.
C. To keep a healthy body. D. To found Macmillan Cancer Support.
5. Why did Gary McKee adjust his start time?
A. Because he wanted more people to join him.
B. Because he was influenced by his old injury.
C. Because he expected to run a longer distance.
D. Because he wanted to balance his work time and running.
6. What can we learn from the words of Gary McKee in paragraph 4?
A. He was always confident about himself.
B. He thought others’ question was reasonable.
C. He thought everyone could achieve their goals.
D. He wasn’t accustomed to following others’ advice.
7 Which word can best describe Gary McKee?
A. Independent. B. Humorous.
C. Caring. D. Determined.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. D
【解析】

Music lovers are overjoyed! In order to save the live music industry in the UK, the Music Venue Trust (MVT) has been raising money to buy nine properties of grassroots music venues across the country and protect their future.
In the last 20 years, 35% of grassroots music venues have had to close, and in 2023, one music venue is having to shut down every week. While a giant £3. 6 million was put into the grassroots music industry during lockdown as part of the Cultural Recovery Fund, 67% of that was paid directly to landlords.
With rents rising, and landlords getting bigger and better offers from developers, music venues are in an incredibly sensitive position. MVT reports that around 93% currently only have 18 months left on their tenancies.
“The people who own the buildings in which music is played and enjoyed are committed more to profitability than supporting the business,” says Mark Davyd, CEO and founder of MVT. “Unfair rent rises can make previously practicable venues suddenly unsustainable, while venues in property hotspots find themselves driven out to make way for building flats. Short leases (租约) prevent those venues which want to raise funds to improve facilities and make the possibility of government support less likely.
MVT has a solution: Put the properties in the hands of the people who truly love them. Their campaign, “Own Our Venues”, seeks to buy up venue properties, offering shares to musicians and music lovers who want to see these venues thrive(繁荣). Davyd believes this is the most important contribution they can make to the industry. “The best people to own our venues are the people who love them, need them and use them.”
MVT hopes to remind people how important grassroots music venues are to the community. With the UK music industry worth over £5.8 billion, these venues are vital to the development of new and upcoming musicians, and music lovers alike.
8. Why does the Music Venue Trust buy properties of grassroots music venues?
A. To make way for flats. B. To help live music develop.
C. To attract more music lovers. D. To popularize grassroots music.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The worth of grassroots music venues.
B. The high rent for grassroots music venues.
C. The challenges grassroots music venues face.
D. The investment grassroots music venues need.
10. What does Mark Davyd mainly talk about in paragraph 4?
A. The profit that the building owners make.
B. The possible results of the failure of grassroots music venues.
C. The government’s attitude towards grassroots music venues.
D. The reasons for grassroots music venues’ failure to sustain.
11. How will MVT address the problem of grassroots music venues?
A. By buying a few shares of the music venues.
B. By letting music lovers own the venues.
C. By offering shares to the owner of the venues.
D. By putting the venues in the hands of the government.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述音乐爱好者们为了拯救英国的现场音乐产业，音乐场所信托基金（MVT）筹集资金，购买全国9个基层音乐场所的所有权，保护他们的未来。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“In order to save the live music industry in the UK, the Music Venue Trust (MVT) has been raising money to buy nine properties of grassroots music venues across the country and protect their future.(为了拯救英国的音乐产业，音乐场所信托基金(MVT)一直在筹集资金，购买全国9个基层音乐场所的物业产权，并保护它们的未来)”可知，MVT购买草根音乐场馆的物业产权是为了拯救现场音乐产业，保护他们的未来，即为了现场音乐产业未来的发展。故选B。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“In the last 20 years, 35% of grassroots music venues have had to close, and in 2023, one music venue is having to shut down every week. While a giant £3. 6 million was put into the grassroots music industry during lockdown as part of the Cultural Recovery Fund, 67% of that was paid directly to landlords.(在过去的20年里，35%的草根音乐场所不得不关闭，到2023年，每周都有一家音乐场所不得不关闭。在封锁期间，作为文化恢复基金的一部分，向基层音乐产业投入了360万英镑，其中67%直接支付给了房东)”可知，本段讲述了很多草根音乐场所被迫关闭，即使投入资金，但大部分用于房租，即草根音乐场所面临着很大的挑战。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The people who own the buildings in which music is played and enjoyed are committed more to profitability than supporting the business,” says Mark Davyd(音乐播放和欣赏场所的所有者更关心的是盈利，而不是支持业务)”以及“Unfair rent rises can make previously practicable venues suddenly unsustainable, while venues in property hotspots find themselves driven out to make way for building flats. Short leases (租约) prevent those venues which want to raise funds to improve facilities and make the possibility of government support less likely.(不公平的租金上涨可能会让以前可行的场馆突然变得难以为继，而位于房地产热点的场馆被赶出去，为新建公寓让路。短期租赁拦住了那些想要筹集资金来改善设施的场馆，从而降低了政府支持的可能性)”可知，Mark Davyd谈论的是很多基层音乐场所无法持续发展的原因——业主他们只关注利益，并不关心行业的发展。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“MVT has a solution: Put the properties in the hands of the people who truly love them. Their campaign, “Own Our Venues”, seeks to buy up venue properties, offering shares to musicians and music lovers who want to see these venues thrive(MVT的解决方案是：把这些房产交到真正喜欢它们的人手中。他们发起了一项名为“拥有我们的场馆”活动，旨在收购场馆资产，向希望看到这些场馆蓬勃发展的音乐家和音乐爱好者提供股份)”可知，MVT的解决办法是让音乐爱好者拥有这些场所，给真正想让音乐繁荣的人股份。故选B。
D
Most animals can quickly transition from walking to jumping to crawling to swimming if needed without making major adjustments. Most robots cannot. But researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have created soft robots that can seamlessly shift from walking to swimming or crawling to rolling.
“We were inspired by nature to develop a robot that can perform different tasks and adapt to its environment without adding actuators (执行器) or complexity,” said Carmel Majdi, a professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department in CMU’s College of Engineering. “Our bistable (双稳态) actuator is simple, stable and durable, and lays the foundation for future work on dynamic, reconfigurable soft robotics.”
Matching how animals transition from walking to swimming to crawling to jumping is a big challenge for bio-inspired and soft robotics. For example, one robot the team created has four curved actuators attached to the corners of a cellphone-sized body made of two bistable actuators.
On land, the curved actuators act as legs, allowing the robot to walk. In the water, the bistable actuators change the robot’s shape, putting the curved actuators in an ideal position to act as propellers so it can swim.
“You need to have legs to walk on land, and you need to have a propeller to swim in the water. Building a robot with separate systems designed for each environment adds complexity and weight,” said Majidi. “We use the same system for both environments to create an efficient robot.”
The team created two other robots: one that can crawl and jump, and one inspired by caterpillars and pill bugs that can crawl and roll. The actuators require only a hundred millisecond of electrical charge to change their shape, and they are durable.
In the future, the robots could be used in rescue situations or to interact with sea animals or coral. Using heat-activated springs in the actuators could open up applications in environmental monitoring, haptics (触觉) and reconfigurable electronics and communication.
12. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “seamlessly” in paragraph 1?
A. Theoretically. B. Formally.
C. Perfectly. D. Vividly.
13. How does Majidi sound when speaking of their actuator?
A. Curious. B. Proud. C. Anxious. D. Careful.
14. What may the robots be applied to in the future?
A. Searching for lost items.
B. Competing with human labors.
C. Making heat-activated springs.
D. Connecting with marine animals.
15. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Soft robot shifts from land to sea with ease.
B. Bistable actuator is simple stable and durable.
C. A system creates an efficient robot for land and sea.
D. Transition from walking to swimming is a grand challenge.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】

【12题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线单词下文““We were inspired by nature to develop a robot that can perform different tasks and adapt to its environment without adding actuators (执行器) or complexity,” said Carmel Majdi, a professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department in CMU’s College of Engineering.”（CMU工程学院机械工程系教授Carmel Majdi说：“我们受到大自然的启发，开发了一种可以执行不同任务并适应环境的机器人，而不需要增加执行器或复杂性。”）可知，这种新开发的机器人可以执行不同任务并适应环境，由此可知，这种机器人可以完美地从步行转变为游泳或从爬行转变为翻滚，“Perfectly”意为“完美地”，能够表达画线单词在句中所要表达的意思。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段关键句“Our bistable (双稳态) actuator is simple, stable and durable, and lays the foundation for future work on dynamic, reconfigurable soft robotics.”（我们的双稳态执行器简单、稳定、耐用，为未来的动态、可重构软机器人工作奠定了基础）可知，Majidi认为他们研发的执行器简单、稳定、耐用。由此可知，当谈到他们的执行器时，Majidi是自豪的。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段关键句“In the future, the robots could be used in rescue situations or to interact with sea animals or coral.”（未来，这些机器人可以用于救援情况，或与海洋动物或珊瑚互动）可知，未来这些机器人可以用于与海洋动物或珊瑚互动。由此可知，机器人未来可能应用于与海洋动物建立联系。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段关键句“But researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have created soft robots that can seamlessly shift from walking to swimming or crawling to rolling.”（但卡内基梅隆大学的研究人员已经创造出了可以从步行到游泳或从爬行到滚动无缝切换的软机器人）可知，本文主要介绍了一种新研发出来的软机器人，可以从步行到游泳无缝切换，轻松地从陆地转移到海上，“Soft robot shifts from land to sea with ease”意为“柔软的机器人可以轻松地从陆地转移到海上”，选项能够概括文章主要内容。故选A项。

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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The cost-of-living crisis will hit us hard with rising energy prices and increasing costs. ___16___ Here’s how your community could help you cope.
Accountability (责任心)
The cost-of-living crisis will force us all to prioritize what we spend money on. ___17___ If you need more discipline in this area, a responsible partner or group might be the answer. According to productivity experts, you are more likely to stay responsible for your goals if you know you have to periodically check in with another person.
Item exchanging
We generally tend to spend more in the cold months. And when you have an entire household of people to provide for, the cost can quickly add up. So imagine how much money you could save by acquiring some items without spending an extra penny. Don’t be shy about asking those you are closest to if they have an extra blanket they no longer use, or a toy they are about to get rid of. ___18___ Besides, you’ll be offering something in return.
Information sharing
___19___ You might not inherit a pair of shoes or a cardigan, but you could get essential money-saving advice. From the latest government support available to where to shop for reduced items, those in your community may hold the key to crucial financial help. This is why it will be important for you to voice your needs.
Cooking together
Banding with your closest friends or neighbors to prepare and share meals works well for small communities. That’s not to say you have to be at each other’s houses for dinner every night. You can simply batch cook, divide the food into portions and meet weekly to exchange meals. In this case, you stand to save money and minimize waste in the long run. ___20___
A. It’s also a lot of fun.
B. The worst they can do is say “no”.
C. However, things aren’t totally hopeless.
D. The best thing about a community is the wealth of knowledge.
E. Many people are struggling with increasingly high costs of living.
F. However, exchanging things they no longer need will occupy lots of your space.
G. As prices increase, keeping more of our cash for the bare necessities will become vital.

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。
John decided to go skiing with his friend, Keith. So they loaded up John’s car and headed north. After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible snowstorm. The snow was falling harder and harder and it was more and more difficult to go on driving. So they decided to look for a house along the way to protect themselves from the heavy snow. At last they saw a small farm in front of them. Thus they pulled into the farm and asked the middle-aged lady who answered the door if they could spend the night in her house.
“I realize it’s terrible weather out there but I have this house only big enough for my five children, and I have no spare room for you,” she explained. “I’m afraid that I can’t offer you a comfortable place to spend the night and you have to continue to look for your shelter.”
John and Keith felt disappointed. It was late and they were not sure of finding a safe shelter for the night. They didn’t know what they should do next. John looked at Keith, who kept silent. Just then, he looked around and found an empty storehouse in the yard. An idea struck him. He was determined to beg the lady to permit them to stay in the storehouse.
“Don’t worry,” John said. “We’ll be happy to sleep in the storehouse. And if the weather breaks, we’ll be gone at first light.” The lady agreed, and the two men found their way to the storehouse and settled in for the night.
But there was little furniture in the storehouse and it was such freezing weather. They were trembling with cold and they might be most likely to freeze at night. It seemed that they would have to sleep in their clothes. Just then, three children walked into the storehouse, with something in their hands.
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。
It turned out that they came to help John and Keith go through the freezing night.

Waking up the next day, John and Keith found their door blocked by heavy snow.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
It turned out that they came to help John and Keith go through the freezing night. One of the children carried a stove, another carried a large bundle of firewood, and the third took some bedclothes with him. It was a great surprise for both John and Keith. The children lit the wood in the stove and the room became warm at once. The two men hurriedly made the bed. Now they could enjoy a warm and comfortable night. They were even more touched when the lady brought them a hot meal to eat a moment later.
Waking up the next day, John and Keith found their door blocked by heavy snow. They tried their best to force the door open, only to find that thick snow had covered everywhere in the yard, including the roof of the house where the family lived, and it seemed that it was in a bad situation. Seeing that, John and Keith took some tools to clear the snow with that family. After about an hour, they cleared all the snow. The lady thanked them, saying that they had done a great favor for her and that without their help, the house might not stand the snow. They just smiled, saying “You help yourself.”

第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Skip the West End and discover some exciting, theatrical treasures—maybe in a pub or under a railway station—in one of London’s many alternative theatres. If you want to experience the glorious rush of discovering a five-star show in a 50-capacity auditorium, for a £ 10 ticket, off-West End is the way to go.
Theatre 503
Through the always-buzzing Latchmere Pub, up a very narrow staircase, and beyond a dinky foyer(门厅), you will find yourself at Theatre 503. It can hold 63 people at a time, which is a tight squeeze even then. But it’ s well worth the intimacy(亲密感) that you’ll necessarily share with your neighbour for the outstanding productions.
King’s Head Theatre
Perhaps the perfect example of London pub theatre, the King’s Head has been in business since the 1970s. The King’s Head is consistent only in its stubborn refusal to be pigeonholed or, indeed to be made into anything else. It feels like London theatre’s uncle who still wears ripped jeans and listens to cool music, refusing to give up its idealistic integrity for something perhaps more sensible but far less fun.
Soho Theatre
An institution that hardly needs introducing, Soho Theatre has been at the forefront for new writing and comedy for decades, producing some of the most exciting new talent on the scene today. As the name suggests, the theatre sits in the centre of Soho, and its bar has become a hub for artists and audiences alike.
Vaults Theatre
A truly unique place made up of eleven disused train tunnels below Waterloo station, with an atmosphere all of its own. Not only is Vaults Theatre home to some of the most thrilling immersive and alternative theatre, it’s also leading the way in accessibility, offering a pay-what-you-can ticket price on Wednesdays and Sundays as of Autumn 2022.
1. What is mentioned about Theatre 503?
A. Its creator. B. Its history. C. Its capacity. D. Its popularity.
2. What does King’s Head Theatre feature?
A. Keeping itself. B. Reasonable price.
C. Being more sensible. D. Beauty in appearance.
3. Which of the following made use of abandoned railways?
A. Theatre 503. B. King’s Head Theatre.
C. Soho Theatre. D. Vaults Theatre.
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。如果你想花10英镑，在一个能容纳50人的礼堂里体验一场五星级演出的快感，那么去伦敦的边缘剧院是不二之选。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Theatre 503部分的“It can hold 63 people at a time, which is a tight squeeze even then.(它可以同时容纳63人，即使在当时也是很挤的)”可知，文中提到了该剧院的容纳力。故选C。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。 根据King’s Head Theatre部分的“The King’s Head is consistent only in its stubborn refusal to be pigeonholed or, indeed to be made into anything else. It feels like London theatre’s uncle who still wears ripped jeans and listens to cool music, refusing to give up its idealistic integrity for something perhaps more sensible but far less fun.（国王的脑袋唯一的一贯之处，就是它顽固地拒绝被归类，甚至拒绝被做成别的东西。这感觉就像伦敦剧院的叔叔，他仍然穿着破洞牛仔裤，听着很酷的音乐，拒绝放弃理想主义的完整性，去追求一些可能更明智但远没有那么有趣的东西。）”可知，该剧院唯一的一贯之处，就是它顽固地拒绝被归类，拒绝被做成别的东西。也就是说，该剧院一直保持自我。故选A。

Gary McKee, a 53-year-old from England, completed a challenge that many might never dare to try—365 marathons in 365 days.
In 1997, McKee found his father had cancer—which was disastrous for his family. "One word sort of turned our world upside down,” McKee told Fox News Digital of the impact on his family. After losing his father in 2003, McKee wanted to do something in memory of him, which is why he took the challenge to run 365 marathons in 365 days. He became a fundraiser for Macmillan Cancer Support. His goal was to raise about $1.2 million by the end of that year.
On January 1st, 2022, the challenge officially began—and McKee was on his way to running 9, 563 miles. “There was always an air of excitement because you didn’t know who was going to be outside running with you,” McKee said. He would run his course each morning before going to work starting at 8 a. m. Then, halfway through the year, a previous injury started to bother him, so he had to change his start time to 6 a. m. to manage his pace. While the injury could have dampened his spirits, he said he saw the slower pace as a “blessing”, as it allowed more people to run alongside him.
“People will often challenge, ‘How are you going to do that?’ What they mean is they don’t believe that you can. My question then is, ‘How am I not going to do it? You tell me why you think I can’t.’ There is always more reason to do something than there is not to do it. “His entire community supported him for the full year by either joining him on the road or cheering him on from the sidelines. However, it was his family’s support that encouraged him the most and helped him “rest easy”.
By the time Gary McKee got to the end of his run, he had raised over $1 million.
4. Why did Gary McKee start the marathons?
A. To honour his father. B. To raise money for the poor.
C. To keep a healthy body. D. To found Macmillan Cancer Support.
5. Why did Gary McKee adjust his start time?
A. Because he wanted more people to join him.
B. Because he was influenced by his old injury.
C. Because he expected to run a longer distance.
D. Because he wanted to balance his work time and running.
6. What can we learn from the words of Gary McKee in paragraph 4?
A. He was always confident about himself.
B. He thought others’ question was reasonable.
C. He thought everyone could achieve their goals.
D. He wasn’t accustomed to following others’ advice.
7 Which word can best describe Gary McKee?
A. Independent. B. Humorous.
C. Caring. D. Determined.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. A 7. D

Music lovers are overjoyed! In order to save the live music industry in the UK, the Music Venue Trust (MVT) has been raising money to buy nine properties of grassroots music venues across the country and protect their future.
In the last 20 years, 35% of grassroots music venues have had to close, and in 2023, one music venue is having to shut down every week. While a giant £3. 6 million was put into the grassroots music industry during lockdown as part of the Cultural Recovery Fund, 67% of that was paid directly to landlords.
With rents rising, and landlords getting bigger and better offers from developers, music venues are in an incredibly sensitive position. MVT reports that around 93% currently only have 18 months left on their tenancies.
“The people who own the buildings in which music is played and enjoyed are committed more to profitability than supporting the business,” says Mark Davyd, CEO and founder of MVT. “Unfair rent rises can make previously practicable venues suddenly unsustainable, while venues in property hotspots find themselves driven out to make way for building flats. Short leases (租约) prevent those venues which want to raise funds to improve facilities and make the possibility of government support less likely.
MVT has a solution: Put the properties in the hands of the people who truly love them. Their campaign, “Own Our Venues”, seeks to buy up venue properties, offering shares to musicians and music lovers who want to see these venues thrive(繁荣). Davyd believes this is the most important contribution they can make to the industry. “The best people to own our venues are the people who love them, need them and use them.”
MVT hopes to remind people how important grassroots music venues are to the community. With the UK music industry worth over £5.8 billion, these venues are vital to the development of new and upcoming musicians, and music lovers alike.
8. Why does the Music Venue Trust buy properties of grassroots music venues?
A. To make way for flats. B. To help live music develop.
C. To attract more music lovers. D. To popularize grassroots music.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The worth of grassroots music venues.
B. The high rent for grassroots music venues.
C. The challenges grassroots music venues face.
D. The investment grassroots music venues need.
10. What does Mark Davyd mainly talk about in paragraph 4?
A. The profit that the building owners make.
B. The possible results of the failure of grassroots music venues.
C. The government’s attitude towards grassroots music venues.
D. The reasons for grassroots music venues’ failure to sustain.
11. How will MVT address the problem of grassroots music venues?
A. By buying a few shares of the music venues.
B. By letting music lovers own the venues.
C. By offering shares to the owner of the venues.
D. By putting the venues in the hands of the government.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. B

【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The people who own the buildings in which music is played and enjoyed are committed more to profitability than supporting the business,” says Mark Davyd(音乐播放和欣赏场所的所有者更关心的是盈利，而不是支持业务)”以及“Unfair rent rises can make previously practicable venues suddenly unsustainable, while venues in property hotspots find themselves driven out to make way for building flats. Short leases (租约) prevent those venues which want to raise funds to improve facilities and make the possibility of government support less likely.(不公平的租金上涨可能会让以前可行的场馆突然变得难以为继，而位于房地产热点的场馆被赶出去，为新建公寓让路。短期租赁拦住了那些想要筹集资金来改善设施的场馆，从而降低了政府支持的可能性)”可知，Mark Davyd谈论的是很多基层音乐场所无法持续发展的原因——业主他们只关注利益，并不关心行业的发展。故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“MVT has a solution: Put the properties in the hands of the people who truly love them. Their campaign, “Own Our Venues”, seeks to buy up venue properties, offering shares to musicians and music lovers who want to see these venues thrive(MVT的解决方案是：把这些房产交到真正喜欢它们的人手中。他们发起了一项名为“拥有我们的场馆”活动，旨在收购场馆资产，向希望看到这些场馆蓬勃发展的音乐家和音乐爱好者提供股份)”可知，MVT的解决办法是让音乐爱好者拥有这些场所，给真正想让音乐繁荣的人股份。故选B。

Most animals can quickly transition from walking to jumping to crawling to swimming if needed without making major adjustments. Most robots cannot. But researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have created soft robots that can seamlessly shift from walking to swimming or crawling to rolling.
“We were inspired by nature to develop a robot that can perform different tasks and adapt to its environment without adding actuators (执行器) or complexity,” said Carmel Majdi, a professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department in CMU’s College of Engineering. “Our bistable (双稳态) actuator is simple, stable and durable, and lays the foundation for future work on dynamic, reconfigurable soft robotics.”
Matching how animals transition from walking to swimming to crawling to jumping is a big challenge for bio-inspired and soft robotics. For example, one robot the team created has four curved actuators attached to the corners of a cellphone-sized body made of two bistable actuators.
On land, the curved actuators act as legs, allowing the robot to walk. In the water, the bistable actuators change the robot’s shape, putting the curved actuators in an ideal position to act as propellers so it can swim.
“You need to have legs to walk on land, and you need to have a propeller to swim in the water. Building a robot with separate systems designed for each environment adds complexity and weight,” said Majidi. “We use the same system for both environments to create an efficient robot.”
The team created two other robots: one that can crawl and jump, and one inspired by caterpillars and pill bugs that can crawl and roll. The actuators require only a hundred millisecond of electrical charge to change their shape, and they are durable.
In the future, the robots could be used in rescue situations or to interact with sea animals or coral. Using heat-activated springs in the actuators could open up applications in environmental monitoring, haptics (触觉) and reconfigurable electronics and communication.
12. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “seamlessly” in paragraph 1?
A. Theoretically. B. Formally.
C. Perfectly. D. Vividly.
13. How does Majidi sound when speaking of their actuator?
A. Curious. B. Proud. C. Anxious. D. Careful.
14. What may the robots be applied to in the future?
A. Searching for lost items.
B. Competing with human labors.
C. Making heat-activated springs.
D. Connecting with marine animals.
15. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Soft robot shifts from land to sea with ease.
B. Bistable actuator is simple stable and durable.
C. A system creates an efficient robot for land and sea.
D. Transition from walking to swimming is a grand challenge.

The cost-of-living crisis will hit us hard with rising energy prices and increasing costs. ___16___ Here’s how your community could help you cope.
Accountability (责任心)
The cost-of-living crisis will force us all to prioritize what we spend money on. ___17___ If you need more discipline in this area, a responsible partner or group might be the answer. According to productivity experts, you are more likely to stay responsible for your goals if you know you have to periodically check in with another person.
Item exchanging
We generally tend to spend more in the cold months. And when you have an entire household of people to provide for, the cost can quickly add up. So imagine how much money you could save by acquiring some items without spending an extra penny. Don’t be shy about asking those you are closest to if they have an extra blanket they no longer use, or a toy they are about to get rid of. ___18___ Besides, you’ll be offering something in return.
Information sharing
___19___ You might not inherit a pair of shoes or a cardigan, but you could get essential money-saving advice. From the latest government support available to where to shop for reduced items, those in your community may hold the key to crucial financial help. This is why it will be important for you to voice your needs.
Cooking together
Banding with your closest friends or neighbors to prepare and share meals works well for small communities. That’s not to say you have to be at each other’s houses for dinner every night. You can simply batch cook, divide the food into portions and meet weekly to exchange meals. In this case, you stand to save money and minimize waste in the long run. ___20___
A. It’s also a lot of fun.
B. The worst they can do is say “no”.

【详解】1. 考查形容词。句意：新教室以尖端设备为特色，鼓励全国各地的高中生进行创造性思维和对科学的兴趣。此处修饰名词thinking，故填形容词形式作定语，creative thinking“创造性思维”。故填creative。
2.考查固定短语。句意：在中国西北甘肃省的一个偏远小镇长大的12岁女学生廖文婷惊讶地发现，她在科幻电影中看到的头戴式显示器和机器人可以触手可及。 bring up固定搭配，意为“长大”，此处Brought是非谓语动词作状语。故填up。
3.考查代词。句意：她的学校文县第二中学位于文县比库镇的丘陵山脚下，最近建成了一个高科技授权的教室。此处用代词作定语，修饰名词school，故填形容词性物主代词，单词位于句首，首字母大写。故填Her。

8.考查定语从句。句意：此后，该校开设了图形编程和3D打印两门课程，每门课程分别吸引了120名学生和20名学生。分析句子结构可知，此处为介词+关系代词引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词是courses，指物，且从句中缺少介词后面的宾语，应用关系代词which来引导定语从句，故用which。
9.考查非谓语动词。句意：此外，为激发青少年对科技的兴趣及鼓励他们继续探索科技，腾讯会为学校的资讯科技教师提供免费培训服务，并不时举办科技比赛。分析句子结构可知，此处表示“为了激发”，应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to motivate。

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。
John decided to go skiing with his friend, Keith. So they loaded up John’s car and headed north. After driving for a few hours, they got caught in a terrible snowstorm. The snow was falling harder and harder and it was more and more difficult to go on driving. So they decided to look for a house along the way to protect themselves from the heavy snow. At last they saw a small farm in front of them. Thus they pulled into the farm and asked the middle-aged lady who answered the door if they could spend the night in her house.
“I realize it’s terrible weather out there but I have this house only big enough for my five children, and I have no spare room for you,” she explained. “I’m afraid that I can’t offer you a comfortable place to spend the night and you have to continue to look for your shelter.”
John and Keith felt disappointed. It was late and they were not sure of finding a safe shelter for the night. They didn’t know what they should do next. John looked at Keith, who kept silent. Just then, he looked around and found an empty storehouse in the yard. An idea struck him. He was determined to beg the lady to permit them to stay in the storehouse.
“Don’t worry,” John said. “We’ll be happy to sleep in the storehouse. And if the weather breaks, we’ll be gone at first light.” The lady agreed, and the two men found their way to the storehouse and settled in for the night.
But there was little furniture in the storehouse and it was such freezing weather. They were trembling with cold and they might be most likely to freeze at night. It seemed that they would have to sleep in their clothes. Just then, three children walked into the storehouse, with something in their hands.
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。
It turned out that they came to help John and Keith go through the freezing night.

Waking up the next day, John and Keith found their door blocked by heavy snow.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
It turned out that they came to help John and Keith go through the freezing night. One of the children carried a stove, another carried a large bundle of firewood, and the third took some bedclothes with him. It was a great surprise for both John and Keith. The children lit the wood in the stove and the room became warm at once. The two men hurriedly made the bed. Now they could enjoy a warm and comfortable night. They were even more touched when the lady brought them a hot meal to eat a moment later.
Waking up the next day, John and Keith found their door blocked by heavy snow. They tried their best to force the door open, only to find that thick snow had covered everywhere in the yard, including the roof of the house where the family lived, and it seemed that it was in a bad situation. Seeing that, John and Keith took some tools to clear the snow with that family. After about an hour, they cleared all the snow. The lady thanked them, saying that they had done a great favor for her and that without their help, the house might not stand the snow. They just smiled, saying “You help yourself.”
