Fighting through pain after running for 28 hours, and amid the sound of tired feet struggling through the Arizona dirt-finally soft，soothing（舒缓的）music could be heard over the horizon. The finish line, which was once 100 miles away, was right in front of him. A small, roaring human victory tunnel welcomed Zach Bates as he ran across the finish line.

Diagnosed with autism（自闭症）at the age of four， Bates completed the 100-mile ultramarathon（超级马拉松）earlier this year，becoming the youngest finisher in the race＇s history， aged 19.Bates was a member of the cross-country team in high school but, after graduating he surprised his family with a new goal-to run a 100-mile race before his 20th birthday.

Neither Bates nor his parents had any prior experience in preparing for the task at hand, but Brian, his father, found ways to help, truly making it a family affair. In addition to hiking safe trails, they read books together, organized all his nutrition, and made sure their son had the right equipment-like the watch he wore on long runs so they could track him and make sure he was safe and on course. Rana and Brian even helped with training schedules before finding more experiencedultramarathon runners-such as mentor John Hendrix and coach Nickademus de la Rosa. With Hendrix and de la Rosa's expertise, the young American prepared by competing in shorter distances and successfully worked his way up to the 100-miler in a short time.

Rather than having his autism be a reason to make the goal unreachable, his mom said the challenge has helped him stay focused.“If we listen to our children and allow them to do what they want to do and be a support to them, you'll be so surprised at where they'll end up,” Rana says.

24.How did Bates probably feel when he ran across the finish line?

A.Tired but cheerful.

B.Proud and overconfident.

C.Comfortable and relaxed.

D.Painful but peaceful.

25.Why did Bates' new goal surprise his family?

A.Because he was diagnosed with autism.

B.Because he was a cross-country team member.

C.Because they considered the new goal impractical.

D. Because he graduated from high school just now.

26.Which of the following did not contribute to Bates' success?

A.Guidance from experts.

B.His perseverance to the goal.

C. Encouragement of team members.

D.Support from his family.

27.What can we learn from the story?

A.Save for a rainy day.

B.All we have is now.

C.Fortune favors the bold.

D.Nothing is impossible.

Decades ago, NASA asked experts to develop the "smell of space" in order to help prepare astronauts for the experience of outer space. Now, a perfume, Eau de Space, has attracted eager buyers.

According to the Kickstarter campaign, which has been launched to sell Eau de Space, the history of the "smell of space" has been unclear owing to various accounts of its development. Ever since the first spacewalk, astronauts have been shocked by the smell.

NASA astronauts Col. Chris Hadfield said, "The only time you can smell space is when you come back from a spacewalk. As you open the hatch（舱门），there is a distinctive smell.＂Some astronauts and space tourists describe it as fruit, or burnt cookies. Astronauts Gene Cernan talked of another smell he experienced: "The moon smells like spent gunpowder " The smell of space is so distinct that NASA reached out to fragrance makers to recreate the smell, according to NASAdocuments.

Now，the makers have cooperated with award winning perfumers（香水调配师），and report that they've secured commercial contracts to reproduce the smell based on astronaut's accounts.

At $29 per bottle, Eau de Space will help support STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) programs for students. “For every bottle of Eau de Space you buy, we're going to donate ono to a STEM program for low-income students. It's a big promise and isn't the best decision for a company trying to make a profit. But we really believe in the cause and hope you do too. Imagine that a child who smells Eau de Space today is inspired to become an astronaut, scientist or engineer," shows Kickstarter.

Eau de Space will be made in the U.K. employing low-income labor and environmentally friendly practices, including zero manufacturing waste, according to the campaign. So far, about 11,000 people have become supporters.

28.Why was the Kickstarter campaign started?

A.To promote Eau de Space.

B.To  attract perfume makers.

C.To explain the “smell of space”.

D.To recreate the “smell of space".

29.What do we know about Eau de Spice?

A.Its makers will make a profit of $28 per bottle.

B. It has been available in the market for a long lime.

C. It can get astronauts ready for their space experience.

D. Its smell is designed according to astronauts' descriptions.

30.What can be inferred about the now perfume from the last paragraph?

A. Part of its profits will support low-income students.

B. The company will offer its employees high salaries.

C. Its production process won't damage the environment.

D.About 11,000 people have tried it out personally so far.

31.What can be the best title for the text?

A. Eau de Space, a Perfume Used in Space

B. The "Smell of Space”,a Perfume on the Way

C. The History of Developing the "Smell of Space"

D.  Astronauts' Different Accounts about the Space Smell

Plato was upset about the invention of the alphabet（字母表）because，with this “technology”， learners would not use their memories and thus appear to be a know-it-all but actually know nothing. If Plato were alive today, what would he say about ChatGPT? ChatGPT, a conversational artificial intelligence program released recently by OpenAl, is a significant advancement that can produce articles comparable to good high school essays.

When I asked ChatGPT a range of simple questions, the answers were well-reasoned and clear. It's also interactive: I could ask for more details or request changes. But then, on trickier topics or more complicated concepts, ChatGPT gave completely wrong answers.

However, that doesn't mean ChatGPT can't be a useful tooling education. Schools have already been dealing with the internet's wealth of knowledge, along with its misleading essay factories. One way has been to change how they teach. Rather than listen to a lecture in class and then go home to research and write an essay, students listen to recorded lectures and do research at home, then write essays in class， with supervision， even cooperation with peers（同龄人）and teachers. This is called flipped（翻转的）classrooms，in which students wouldn’t use ChatGPT to create a whole essay. Instead, they'd use it as a tool to generate critically examined building blocks of essays.

Plato was wrong to think that memory itself is a goal, rather than a means for people to have facts so they can make better analyses and arguments. As Plato was wrong to fear the written word as the enemy, we would be wrong to think we should be against a process that allows us to gather information more easily.

The way forward is not just to feel regret for replaced skills, as Plato did, but also to recognize that as more complex skills become essential, our society must fairly educate people to develop them. And then it always goes back to the basics. Value people as people, not just as packs of skills. And that isn't something ChatGPT can tell us how to do.

32.What would probably be Plato's attitude toward ChatGPT?

A.Favorable.

B.Uncaring.

C.Critical.

D.Unclear.

33. How do students use ChatGPT according to the text?

A.They apply it to correcting mistakes.

B.They use it as a part of their research.

C.They rely on it to create a whole essay.

D.They employ it to conduct peer reviews.

34.What mistake did Plato make according to the text?

A. He laid stress on memory too much.

B.He failed to tell facts from opinions.

C.He doubted easily accessible information.

D.He used written words to attack his enemy.

35. What is suggested to our society in the last paragraph?

A. Updating and improving ChatGPT.

B.Breathing fresh life into replaced skills.

C.Equipping all people with necessary skills.

D.Bringing people with different skills together.

第二节（共5小题；每题2.5分，满分12.5分）

Some people measure success by the wealth they've accumulated, or the status they've achieved. Yet, even though they've reached success beyond their wildest dreams, they still feel something is missing from their life. Their soul may be searching for something more.              36             

Although everyone is different, there are common threads that bind a life with purpose.

Live by your beliefs and values.

People who live a life of purpose have core beliefs and values that influence their decisions, shape their daily actions, and determine their priorities. They place significant value on being a person of virtue.              37And they spend more time listening to their inner voice than being influenced by others.

Follow your passion.

People who live a life of purpose wake up each morning eager to face the new day. They pursue their dreams with enthusiasm, put their heart into everything they do, and feel that they're personally making a difference. As James Dean once said,“38”

Feel content.

People who live a life of purpose have an inner peace. They’re satisfied with what they have and who they are. 39As the saying goes,” The real measure of your wealth is how much you'd be worth if you lost all your money.”

40

People who live a life of purpose have a positive impact on someone else's life. They are willing to help people in need and make their life better and happier. They gain as much satisfaction witnessing the success of others as witnessing their own.

Without purpose, it's easy to wander aimlessly through life instead of following your North Star. Without purpose, it’s easy to achieve remarkable success and still feel that life is passing you by.

A.Make a difference.

B. It's the purpose of life.

C.Put others before yourself.

D. So they live with certain moral principles.

E. The secret of success is constancy to purpose.

F. Dream as if you'll live forever and lie as if you'll die today.

G. To them, the grass is greener on their own side of the fence.

I have grown up in a football-loving family. My elder sister Stevie 41with Crewe Alexandra Girls for a year or two as a left back just like our hero, Jamie Carragher.

I remember the exact moment when I told my dad I was  42in doing what my big sister did. I was watching the game with him in the living room and it just 43:“It makes me                            44              that I can' t be a footballer.” He asked why not, and I answered, “Because I'm not a boy.”

He    45 responded by telling me that women's football was “great” and that I could play if I wanted to. “Yeah, I suppose so,” I responded, "but no one 46 women's football.”Looking back, I can see exactly why I felt like that.

At school, there was an unwritten rule that sports like rugby and football were for the 47.I'd never seen a women's football match on TV and the only 48athletes I'd heard of were in the Olympics.

Today，the England Lionesses（英格兰母狮队）will49  Scotland in the World Cup,and people across the world will tune in. 50 women's football has turned out to be one of FIFA's investments, the majority of female players in top tiers are earning under what anyone would consider a fair 51,and only £24 million prize money was awarded to the women's World Cup victors in              52 with £315 million to the men's. That's a vast 53

Today, I’ll be 54  the Lionesses and the song “It's coming home” will mean more this time around, because it'll mean talented, skillful female footballers being              55              into millions of homes and maybe, just maybe, a little girl believing that she can also be a Lioness one day.

A Christmas Worth Remembering

Hector kicked his boot in the snow, angry that he couldn't change Mom's mind. Why did they have to work at the homeless shelter over Christmas?

Christmas was for opening presents, eating delicious food, and playing games. He didn't want to spend it handing out presents and food to other people. Mom called it community service, but he called it a bummer（令人不开心的事）.

"What are you doing?" asked David as he entered Hector's yard. David was his friend from next

door. "Going to build a snow castle?"

"No,”  Hector said .“I'm just trying to cool off”

“Well, it's definitely cold out here. What's wrong?" David asked.

"My mom said that we're going to the homeless shelter on Christmas Day," Hector said.  “We're going to help provide them with a Christmas lunch and hand out presents to the kids.”

"What's wrong with that?”David asked.

Hector stared at him, his mouth hanging open.“What's wrong? We're going there on Christmas Day, that’s what.”

“It might not be so bad. We did something like that with our local outreach ministry（外联部） on Thanksgiving.” David said. Hector hadn't known that. Still, he didn't think it would be much fun.

The next week passed quickly. Soon it was Christmas Day. It was time for Hector to go to the shelter with his parents. As they left, Hector sat in the back seat of the car with his arms crossed and a frown on his face.

At the shelter, a man greeted them with a happy smile.“Thank you for coming to help today,”he said. “I hope you will enjoy your time here.”Hector seriously doubted it.

The man told Dad where he could serve food and he pointed Mom toward several large boxes that were filled with presents.

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。

Paragraph 1: Hector stood uneasily, not sure what to do.
