Let’s take a look at these traditional events in the UK.
World Gurning Championships
Gurning is a British word meaning to pull a funny facial expression. The World Gurning Championships sets out to crown(加冕) a contestant who can pull the strangest face of all. The contest takes place every year in Egremont, Cumbria, as part of the town’s Crab Fair, which dates back to 1267.
Nettle eating contest
Hosted by the Bottle Inn pub in Marsh wood, Dorset every year, this 20-year-old nettle eating contest sees dozens of competitors take part in eating as many nettle stalks(荨麻茎) as possible within one hour. Winners normally eat around 70ft of nettle stalks!
Whittlesea Straw Bear Festival
Every January, the Whittlesea Straw Bear Festival takes place, which dates back more than 200 years. The strange festival consists of a performer wearing a five-stone metal and straw bear costume, while parading through the town streets with a group of Appalachian and Morris dancers.
Wife carrying race
If you think your husband is strong enough to carry you in a race, then you may be in with a chance of winning this odd tradition, held in Dorking, Surrey every March. The sport actually originates from the Viking invasion(入侵) of 793 AD. The tradition wasn’t revived in the UK until 2008, but now comes with a friendlier feel. The winner receives £100, while the carrier of the heaviest wife is given a pound of sausage.
1. What do we know about World Gurning Championships?
A. It was briefly banned. B. It is part of another activity.
C. It attracts funny-looking players. D. It originates from an English word.
2. Which event has the longest history?
A. Wife carrying race. B. Nettle eating contest.
C. Whittlesea Straw Bear Festival. D. World Gurning Championships.
3. What do the listed events have in common?
A. They are held in the wild. B. They are yearly events.
C. They are invented by farmers. D. They’re only for strong players.

Liam Gamer was just 17 years old when he started out on his big adventure — a 32,000-kilometer bike trip from Alaska to Argentina. In early January, 2023, he finally finished his trip, 17 months after he started.
Liam, an experienced cyclist, had previously ridden from Los Angeles to San Francisco. He made short videos of that trip, and shared them on the social media app TikTok, some of which became quite popular. After reading a book by adventurer Jedidiah Jenkins, who biked from Oregon to Argentina, Liam decided to cycle from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, the northernmost point in the United States accessible by road, to Ushuaia, Argentina, the southernmost point of South America.
Liam set out on August 1, 2021. At first Liam’s parents weren’t too happy about him taking such a long bike trip by himself though it wouldn’t take that much money. But as he carried on, his parents became his strongest supporters.
After about three months, Liam had crossed the US, going south along the West Coast. By early December, he had reached Mexico, from which his parents came to the US many years ago. “So crossing the entire country on a bike and reconnecting with my culture and learning the language in the place my family is from is so deeply important to me,” Liam explained emotionally. But Liam also faced challenges in Mexico.
He was robbed in Mexico, and at one point, he considered quitting because the incredible heat made biking extremely difficult. In all, he was robbed five times on the trip. He got very sick more than once. In Colombia, he had a bike accident that left him injured and required surgery. In spite of it all, he kept going through rain, sun, heat, cold, deserts and mountains.
Liam finally arrived in his destination on January 10, 2023 — 527 days after he started. He had travelled through 14 countries along the way.
4. What contributed to Liam’s decision to bike through 14 countries?
A. His previous related experiences. B. His parents’ encouragement.
C. A desire to shoot short videos. D. A book by Jedidiah Jenkins.
5. Why did Liam feel special in Mexico?
A. He went there for the first time. B. He found his family tree’s roots.
C. He biked there as scheduled. D. He had to speak another language.
6. What can we say about Liam’s bike trip from Alaska to Argentina?
A. It’s eventful. B. It’s pleasant. C. It’s costly. D. It’s romantic.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To inspire our love for nature.
B. To promote low-carbon travel.
C. To encourage us to see our strengths.
D. To call on us to learn a kind of spirit.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. D

C
Europe’s ski resorts (胜地) haven’t been getting enough snow
Amedeo Reale is president of Sci Club 18, in Cortina d’Ampezzo, a town in Italy’s Dolomite Mountains. In 2026, the area will host the Women’s Winter Olympics downhill skiing events. “The only thing we are scared of is having one or two months of hot weather,” Reale says. “But in Cortina d’Ampezzo, I don’t think there is any problem.” At more than 5,000 feet above sea level, the slopes (坡) stay cold enough for artificial snow.
But other parts of Italy are not so lucky. They’ve been getting a taste of a much warmer future. The only plan for saving Italy’s ski industry is to use artificial snow as much as possible, says Rolando Galli, who runs a ski lift in there sort of Abetone, in Italy. It has done more than $2 million less business this season because of the lack of snow. Even if there’s snow for the rest of the season, Galli says, there’s no way to make up for this year’s lost income. He ran the lifts without snow, just for the views, but not many tourists showed up.
The changing weather is making it hard to find the right conditions for winter-sports competitions. Promoting summertime sports is probably a good business strategy. The government and mountain towns should invest in lakes. In summer, these could be tourist destinations-for fishing, boating, and sightseeing. They might also provide water to fight bush fires. Clinate change is something that we have to face. We can’t just put our heads in the ground and ignore it.
Since 1924, 21 cities have hosted the Winter Olympies. The first was Chamonix, France. If global temperatures continue rising at the current rate, only four of those places will have conditions appropriate for competition by 2050. That’s the prediction of a recent scientific report. Cortina d’ Ampezzo, in Italy, would be rated “unacceptable”, the report says. Only Sapporo, Japan, is considered a reliable bet for the 2078 or 2082 games.
8. Which word can best deseribe Amedeo Reale’s attitude to his business?
A. Worried. B. Optimistic.
C. Conservative. D. Uncertain.
9. Which statement does Rolando Galli probably agree with?
A. Business is bad without snow.
B. Winter is the peak season for tourism.
C. Artificial snow is a short-term measure.
D. His losses will be recovered next winter.
10. What does the author tell us to do about the changing weather in paragraph 4?
A. Mass-produce artificial snow.
B. Think ahead to the next move.
C. Develop the winter tourism in time.
D. Try to stop climate change gradually.
11. What does the recent scientific report indicate?
A. The Winter Olympics might not exist long.
B. Global temperatures are sure to keep rising.
C. Climate change affects Italy and Japan most.
D. More places will hold winter sports activities.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出欧洲一些滑雪胜地降雪量减少，这产生了一系列的影响。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“‘The only thing we are scared of is having one or two months of hot weather,’ Reale says. ‘But in Cortina d’Ampezzo, I don’t think there is any problem.’ At more than 5,000 feet above sea level, the slopes (坡) stay cold enough for artificial snow. (Reale说：“我们唯一担心的就是一两个月的炎热天气。但在科尔蒂纳丹佩佐，我认为没有任何问题。”在海拔5000多英尺的地方，山坡足够冷，可以造雪。)”可推知，Amedeo Reale对自己的生意持乐观态度。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“It has done more than $2 million less business this season because of the lack of snow. Even if there’s snow for the rest of the season, Galli says, there’s no way to make up for this year’s lost income.(由于少雪，本季度的销售额减少了200多万美元。加利说，即使这个季节剩下的时间都下雪，也无法弥补今年的收入损失。)”可知，由于少雪，销售额减少，由此可推知，Rolando Galli他会赞同“不下雪生意不好做”这一说法。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“The changing weather is making it hard to find the right conditions for winter-sports competitions. Promoting summertime sports is probably a good business strategy. The government and mountain towns should invest in lakes. In summer, these could be tourist destinations-for fishing, boating, and sightseeing. They might also provide water to fight bush fires. (不断变化的天气使人们很难找到适合冬季运动比赛的场地。推广夏季运动可能是一个不错的商业策略。政府和山区城镇应该投资湖泊。在夏天，这些地方可以成为旅游胜地——钓鱼、划船和观光。它们也可能为扑灭丛林大火提供水。)”可推知，作者认为由于气候变化，所以我们需要先行一步，提前谋划，重新思考下一步的商业策略。故选B项。
11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“If global temperatures continue rising at the current rate, only four of those places will have conditions appropriate for competition by 2050. (如果全球气温继续以目前的速度上升，到2050年，其中只有四个地方具备适合竞争的条件。)”可知，因为全球气温变暖，具备举办冬奥会的条件的地方将越来越少，由此推知，冬奥会可能不会存在太久了。故选A项。
D
Chinese scientists say they have found a solution to help the CR450 bullet train run smoothly at 400 km/h by 2025.
China’s fastest trains currently reach a top speed of around 350km/h and passengers usually have an extremely smooth experience, but that doesn’t make it get complacent. The country planned to launch a new bullet train model by 2025 that can run 400 km/h — a speed that only some commercial super cars like the Bugatti Veyron can run.
At such high speed, even a small collision (碰撞) can cause the whole train to shake. Continuous vibrations (振动) can make passengers seasick. The team led by Professor Shi Jin from Beijing Jiaotong University said the problem could be solved by adjusting the height of the rails by just a few millimeters at some sensitive points. Shi’s team ran tests on a test line, and the results showed that their method really worked.
“As trains go faster, the interaction between wheels and tracks increases, making existing measures to reduce ride vibrations less effective,” Shi said. According to the team’s calculations, the vibration felt by passengers during a400 km/h trip will be 5% higher than at present. That might seem like a small difference, but it can increase the wavelength of the vibrations felt along the train by 15%. If not effectively controlled, this can make passengers uncomfortable during the journey, even unsafe. Research shows that lifting sleepers by just a few millimeters can resist this impact.
Trains with different speeds can operate on the same track, but each speed setting requires different sleepers. Existing Chinese safety standards allow only an error of one millimeter when adjusting the sleepers. China has more than 40,000 km of high-speed railways in operation. To make them all suitable for 400 km/h trains will be a difficult task. However, it’s necessary to find a solution soon because according to the government’s 5-year plan, the new generation of high-speed train, the CR450, will be completed and put into operation in less than 3years.
12. What does the underlined phrase “get complacent” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Convenient. B. Successful. C. Respected. D. Satisfied.
13. What is paragraph 4 mainly talking about?
A. The way wheels and tracks interact.
B. The effect of vibration on passengers.
C. The difficulty in adjusting the sleepers.
D. The reason why existing sleepers should be lifted.
14. What can we know about China’s existing high-speed railways?
A. Their sleepers need adjusting all the time.
B. The more these railways are built, the better.
C. Enough of them will be in use in three years.
D. It’s hard to make 400 km/h trains run on all of them.
15. What’s the best title for the text?
A. China Develops 400 km/h Bullet Train
B. China’s Trains Care More for Passengers
C. China’s CR450s Replace Other Trains
D. China Focuses on Railway Technology
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了中国科学家表示，他们已经找到了一种解决方案，可以帮助CR450子弹头列车在2025年前以400公里/小时的速度平稳运行。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“China’s fastest trains currently reach a top speed of around 350km/h and passengers usually have an extremely smooth experience(目前，中国最快的列车最高速度约为350公里/小时，乘客通常会有非常平稳的体验)”及下文“The country planned to launch a new bullet train model by 2025 that can run 400 km/h — a speed that only some commercial super cars like the Bugatti Veyron can run.(该国计划在2025年前推出一款时速400公里的新型子弹头列车，这一速度只有布加迪威龙等一些商业超级汽车才能运行)”可知，中国最高速度约为350公里/小时的列车并没有让国家自满，所以继续推出一款时速400公里的新型子弹头列车。由此推知，划线词组get complacent与satisfied(满足的)意思一致。故选D。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“According to the team’s calculations, the vibration felt by passengers during a400 km/h trip will be 5% higher than at present. That might seem like a small difference, but it can increase the wavelength of the vibrations felt along the train by 15%. If not effectively controlled, this can make passengers uncomfortable during the journey, even unsafe. Research shows that lifting sleepers by just a few millimeters can resist this impact.(根据该团队的计算，乘客在400公里/小时的行程中感受到的振动将比目前高5%。这似乎是一个很小的差异，但它可以将火车沿线感受到的振动波长增加15%。如果没有得到有效控制，这可能会使乘客在旅途中感到不舒服，甚至不安全。研究表明，将枕木提升几毫米就可以抵抗这种冲击)”可知，第四段主要谈到为何应提升现有枕木。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“China has more than 40,000 km of high-speed railways in operation. To make them all suitable for 400 km/h trains will be a difficult task.(中国有4万多公里的高速铁路在运营。要使它们都适用于时速400公里的列车将是一项艰巨的任务)”可知，在中国现有的所有高速铁路上运行400公里/小时的列车是很困难的。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Chinese scientists say they have found a solution to help the CR450 bullet train run smoothly at 400 km/h by 2025.(中国科学家表示，他们已经找到了一种解决方案，可以帮助CR450子弹头列车在2025年前以400公里/小时的速度平稳运行)”及下文可知，文章主要介绍了中国正在发展时速400公里的子弹头列车。由此可知，China Develops 400 km/h Bullet Train(中国发展400公里/小时子弹头列车)适合作本文最佳标题。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了人工智能ChatGPT。
【36题详解】
考查时态。句意：在过去的几十年里，我们中的许多人都依赖“谷歌医生”来自我诊断疼痛和抱怨。分析句意可知，动词rely“依赖”在句中作谓语，根据时间状语the past few decades“过去几十年里”可知，使用现在完成时。故填have relied。
【37题详解】
考查比较级。句意：人工智能（AI）带来了一种更强大的工具来帮助医疗诊断——hatGPT-4。分析句意可知，副词much需要使用比较级形式more修饰形容词powerful“强大的”，构成形容词比较级。故填much。
【38题详解】
考查并列连词。句意：医生们相信，新的人工智能将彻底改变他们的工作，改善患者的生活。分析句意可知，动词revolutionize“彻底改变”和improve“改善”在从句中作并列谓语，故需要使用连词and连接。故填and。
【39题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：三位人工智能专家写了一本名为《医学中的人工智能革命》的电子书。分析句意可知，动词title“把…称为”在句中作定语修饰e-book“电子书”，二者构成被动关系，故使用过去分词作定语。故填titled。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意：他们在书中表示，ChatGPT-4将实时为外科医生提供重要的救生建议和信息。分析句意可知，名词significance“重要性”在句中作定语修饰life-saving advice“救生建议”，故需要改为形容词形式。故填significant。
【41题详解】
考查代词it。作者表示，“现在是时候开始理解和讨论人工智能的潜力了。”分析句意可知，此句包含结构it is time to do sth.“是做什么事的时候了”，故需要在空格处填代词it构成固定句型。故填It。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：新的电子书表示，ChatGPT-4将对医生非常有用。分析句意可知，形容词extreme“极度的”作状语修饰形容词useful“有用的”，应该改为副词。故填extremely。
【43题详解】
考查从属连词。句意：这就像有一位善良、乐于助人的老师在你身边，他几乎掌握了世界上所有的医学知识。分析句意可知，此句包含定语从句修饰teacher“老师”，且连词在从句中作主语，故应该使用who或者that引导定语从句。故填who/that。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：然而，作者们也承认，人工智能无法回答所有的医学难题。分析句意可知，名词puzzle“难题”为可数名词，在句中作宾语，前文有表示复数概念的限定词all“所有的”修饰它，故其本身应该改为复数形式。故填puzzles。
【45题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：他们警告说，ChatGPT-4可能会提供一些不准确的医疗建议，并补充说，人工智能仍然给出“几乎总是正确的错误答案”。分析句意可知，动词add“增加，补充”在句中作伴随状语，表示伴随主句动作同时发生的动作，与主语构成主动关系，故使用现在分词形式。故填adding。

第二节(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。
“Sure, I’ll be there on time. Yes, thank you!” James replied and hung up the phone. He had applied to be an in-house volunteer at a foster (寄养) group home and was finally accepted.
James, who was just 29 years old, had never considered starting a family. He always wished for one but quickly dismissed the idea, preferring to remain unmarried because his finances never encouraged him to consider starting a family.
In his spare time, James liked helping the poor and orphans (孤儿) as he had been in their shoes at one point and could connect better with them.
When he was eventually approved as a volunteer at the group home, he felt very satisfied. Though he always felt alone, being a volunteer at the group home came with the company of children; and James was very fond of children. Not to mention, he was a very kind man too.
One day, a little girl called Layla was brought in while James was working at the foster home. Tightly, she hugged her teddy, her favorite toy she called Mr. Fluffy, as she got down from the car at the front gate. James had overheard the foster carer talking about the girl, and he knew she was brought here because her single mother had died, leaving her an orphan. As she walked in, James could see her eyes were teary, and she was looking around, confused.
Still feeling bad for her, James returned to his other engagements that day. Suddenly, the girl came running up to him and began pulling his shirt.
“Daddy, did you come for me? Are you going to take me home?” she asked, smiling through tears, and James was shocked. He’d never had a girlfriend, much less a child. Why was she calling him dad? Trying his best to hide his shock, he smiled and knelt in front of her.“Hi, I’m James. You’re Layla, right? I’m sorry, sweetie, but I am not your daddy.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The girl’s smile disappeared, and she started to cry.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
James looked up and saw the foster carer, Clara, who seemed very worried.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The girl’s smile disappeared, and she started to cry. “But you should be my daddy. Why are you lying to me? I always see you in my dreams,” cried the little girl. Hearing this, James didn’t know what to say. “Well, honey,” he finally said, “Maybe you mistook me for someone else. I am not your dad.” But the girl refused to listen, insisting he was her daddy and that he had bought Mr. Fluffy for her. Just then, a voice shouted, “Layla, honey, go inside!”
James looked up and saw the foster carer, Clara, who seemed very worried. When Layla was gone, Clara told James what had happened to her. At three, her father died of illness, but her mother didn’ t tell her the truth, only telling her to remember his father bought her Mr. Fluffy. Worse still, her mother also died of illness two years later. Layla couldn’t take it. She cried constantly, hoping someone would came for her. But the fact was that she had no relatives because her father and mother were orphans. Understanding everything, James decided to take a part-time job to earn more money and adopt the poor child.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物线索展开，讲述了从未考虑过组建家庭的29岁的詹姆斯利用业余时间在团体之家当志愿者帮助穷人和孤儿。一天，团体之家来了一位叫蕾拉的孤儿，跑向詹姆斯并拉着他的衬衫喊爸爸。詹姆斯尽力掩饰震惊，微笑着解释自己不是。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“女孩的笑容消失了，她开始哭了起来。”可知，本段可以写女孩哭着坚持认为詹姆斯是自己的爸爸，詹姆斯耐心解释，但是女孩坚持说是爸爸，因为爸爸给她买Mr. Fluffy。此时，一个声音喊女孩进去。
②由第二段首句内容“詹姆斯抬起头，看见了寄养看护者克拉拉，她看上去很担心。”可知，本段可以写看护者克拉拉向詹姆斯说明女孩的情况，詹姆斯了解后，决定做兼职挣更多的钱收养女孩。
2. 续写线索：女孩哭诉并坚持认为是爸爸——詹姆斯不知所措并再次解释——女孩不听认为是James给她买Mr. Fluffy——一个声音喊女孩进去——看护者克拉拉向詹姆斯说明女孩的情况——詹姆斯决定做兼职挣更多的钱收养女孩
