The reason why Keith Limbert learned to drive at his old age was a touching love story, as he was forced to face the lessons for driving a car for his wife. 79-year-old Keith from West Yorkshire put all his efforts into passing the driving test, so that he could take his wife for treatments every day.Even though he had attempted (尝试) driving when he was 25, he couldn’t get through the first two tests. Since then, his loving wife Anne had always driven him around. However, when 58-year-old Anne’s health took a turn for the worse, he had to go back to the driving school again.After Anne had a stroke (中风) in 2015 leaving her in a wheelchair, the couple had to rely on others for their travels. Annoyed with many difficulties, Keith realized that it was time for him to take up learning to drive again. Eventually, it became a necessity when Anne was diagnosed (诊断) with breast cancer in late 2016.Unfortunately, his wife’s condition required regular trips to and from hospital and he was Anne’s full-time caregiver. He loved his wife so much that he did his best to pass his driving test on the third attempt. This time, his hard work paid off. Keith passed his driving test at the age of 79, so he could take his poor wife to hospital by himself.Now this loving couple is leading a comfortable life and on most days, he takes himself to the gym and takes his wife for a coffee.“I don’t feel like I am 79 at all,” Keith is happy to keep his youthful spirit with a pleasant smile on his face.4.

Keith passed his driving test at the age of 79, so he could take his poor wife to hospital by himself.(不幸的是，他妻子的病情需要定期往返医院，他是安妮的全职照顾者。他非常爱他的妻子，所以他尽力在第三次尝试时通过了驾驶考试。这一次，他的努力得到了回报。基思在79岁时通过了驾驶考试，所以他可以独自送他可怜的妻子去医院)”和最后一段中““I don’t feel like I am 79 at all,” Keith is happy to keep his youthful spirit with a pleasant smile on his face.(“我一点也不觉得自己79岁了，”基思脸上带着愉快的微笑，很高兴能保持年轻的精神)”可知，基思对妻子很体贴，又乐观。故选B。【7题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“Love pushes us to overcome various struggles in life!

A leading expert in the field of artificial intelligence, Professor Wooldridge, explains that those manual (体力的) workers, such as construction workers, are likely safe from the expansion (扩张) of AI.“There are lots of examples of the huge range of technologies which will make people’s lives better,” Professor Wooldridge said. “But the ‘importance of people’ in carrying out a lot of jobs has been underestimated by modern society. There are an awful lot of jobs which really require human understanding and having a human there is really important. I’m not as pessimistic (悲观的) about AI and jobs as most media has showed.”However, Professor Wooldridge warned that the new technology would be a “damaging force” for employees who perform duties like taking phone calls. “A type of job I’m worried about is call center operators. If your job is to understand what people are telling you but you are more or less following instructions that you’ve been given, this kind of job is easily affected when artificial intelligence steps onto the stage.”A 2022 study found automation is partially responsible for a drop in US industrial jobs. Previous research has estimated a loss of 420,000 to 750,000 jobs during the1990s and 2000s, most of which were manufacturing jobs. Despite that, Professor Wooldridge says the technology is far from capable of performing manual labor roles. He suggests that the technology like robots is indeed taking jobs from humans, but at a much lower rate than most assume.A recent study found that only 14 percent of workers in their study have lost their jobs to a robot. As Professor Wooldridge said, people are generally quick to vastly exaggerate (夸大) the rate of robot takeover.8. What do we know about manual workers from Paragraph 1?A. They are safe from losing jobs. B. Their work depends on their technical ability.C. They know less about high technology. D. Their work is unlikely affected by AI.9. What point of view does most media express about AI and jobs?A. Humans are still the main body of future work.B. AI will replace the majority of human work.C. AI will bring more job opportunities to people.D. Technologies make a difference to people’s lives.10. According to Wooldridge, who might probably be affected by AI most?A. Construction workers. B. Airplane pilots. C. Receptionists. D. Teachers.11. What is Wooldridge’s attitude towards robot takeover?A. Doubtful. B. Unclear. C. Cautious. D. Positive.【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了哪些工作容易受到人工智能的影响。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段“A leading expert in the field of artificial intelligence, Professor Wooldridge, explains that those manual (体力的) workers, such as construction workers, are likely safe from the expansion (扩张) of AI.(人工智能领域的权威专家伍尔德里奇教授解释说，像建筑工人这样的体力劳动者可能不会受到人工智能扩张的影响)”可知，那些体力劳动者，比如建筑工人，可能不会受到人工智能扩张的影响。故选D。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“There are an awful lot of jobs which really require human understanding and having a human there is really important. I’m not as pessimistic (悲观的) about AI and jobs as most media has showed.(有很多工作确实需要人类的理解，有一个人在那里真的很重要。我并不像大多数媒体报道的那样对人工智能和就业感到悲观)”可知，大多数媒体认为人工智能将取代大部分人类工作。故选B。【10题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段“If your job is to understand what people are telling you but you are more or less following instructions that you’ve been given, this kind of job is easily affected when artificial intelligence steps onto the stage.(如果你的工作是理解别人告诉你的东西，但你或多或少地遵循了别人给你的指示，那么当人工智能走上舞台时，这种工作很容易受到影响)”可知，前台接待员很有可能受到AI的威胁。故选C。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“As Professor Wooldridge said, people are generally quick to vastly exaggerate (夸大) the rate of robot takeover.(正如伍尔德里奇教授所说，人们通常很快就会大大夸大机器人接管的速度)”可知，作者对Wooldridge教授的观点持赞同的态度。故选A。DChildren who are given opportunities to manage money when they’ re young are more likely to be financially responsible as they enter adulthood, says a new study from Brigham Young University.The study, led by Dr. Ashley LeBaron-Black, surveyed over 4,000 young adults, asking a series of questions in order to understand how they learned money management from their parents during childhood. The results of the study found that while it was important for parents to talk to their kids about money management and to model good financial behaviors, these efforts alone weren’t enough to prepare children to become financially responsible young adults. The most effective thing a parent can do is to provide experiential learning opportunities for their children, allowing them to manage their own money and practice making financial decisions.Allowing children to manage money can be intimidating for parents at first, but LeBaron-Black suggests parents relax and start with simple activities. For example, a young kid could be given a simple 3-slot (三个投币口的) money box to store their money: one slot for savings, one for giving, and one for spending. As they grow, children can practice budgeting (预算), saving for short-term goals like a bike, saving for long-term goals like college, spending money wisely, and opening savings or other investment accounts.“Keep trying, even when it seems difficult,” said LeBaron-Black. “Parents need to know that setting children up with a strong foundation (基础) of money management takes time. In the years to come, the small efforts you’ re making are going to pay off for your kid.“It’s a pattern that can apply to many aspects (方面) of parenting. Discussions are necessary, but verbal (口头的) teaching alone is not enough. When parents give children opportunities to make their own choices and experience the results, whether positive or negative, children will be much better at making choices throughout their lives,” LeBaron-Black explained.12. What is the new study mainly about?A. The real role money plays in children’s lives.B. Why money management is important to children.C. How parents should teach children about money.D. The different views on money of parents and children.13. What does the underlined word “intimidating” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Necessary B. Worrying. C. Dangerous. D. Interesting.14. What is LeBaron-Blac’s suggestion for parents?A. Practicing good financial behaviors. B. Setting financial goals for children.C. Learning basic financial knowledge. D. Being patient with their efforts.15. How might children benefit from the parenting pattern LeBaron-Black mentioned?A. They will learn self-control. B. They will be better decision-makers.C. They will be more independent. D. They will learn the meaning of hard work.【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. B【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于父母教育孩子理财的研究以及研究的发现。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“The study, led by Dr. Ashley LeBaron-Black, surveyed over 4,000 young adults, asking a series of questions in order to understand how they learned money management from their parents during childhood.(这项由阿什利·勒巴伦-布莱克博士领导的研究调查了4000多名年轻人，提出了一系列问题，以了解他们在童年时期是如何从父母那里学到理财的)”可知，这项新研究的主要内容是父母应该如何教育孩子有关金钱的知识。故选C。【13题详解】词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Allowing children to manage money can be(让孩子管理金钱可能会……)”以及后文“but LeBaron-Black suggests parents relax and start with simple activities(但LeBaron-Black建议父母放松下来，从简单的活动开始)”可知，but表示转折，说明父母对于让孩子管钱感到担忧。故划线词意思是“令人担忧的”。故选B。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““Keep trying, even when it seems difficult,” said LeBaron-Black. “Parents need to know that setting children up with a strong foundation (基础) of money management takes time. In the years to come, the small efforts you’ re making are going to pay off for your kid.(“即使看起来很困难，也要继续努力，”勒布朗-布莱克说。“父母需要知道，让孩子打下坚实的理财基础是需要时间的。在未来的几年里，你所做的小小的努力将会为你的孩子带来回报)”可知，勒布朗-布莱克建议父母对他们的努力保持耐心。故选D。【15题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段“When parents give children opportunities to make their own choices and experience the results, whether positive or negative, children will be much better at making choices throughout their lives,” LeBaron-Black explained.(当父母给孩子机会做出自己的选择并体验结果时，无论是积极的还是消极的，孩子在一生中都会更好地做出选择，”勒布朗-布莱克解释道)”可知，LeBaron-Black提到的育儿模式会让孩子成为更好的决策者。故选B。第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。More and more young people are deciding to leave their home country to discover the world. ____16____ They include travelling, going on a university exchange, applying for a working holiday visa, volunteering, finding a job, etc. Besides the fun and excitement that these opportunities might generate (产生), they offer clear benefits.1.

After all, it was my 16th birthday!Yesterday, none of my family had shown any sign to indicate that they’ d remembered the fact that my birthday was only 24 hours away. They might have been planning a surprise for me!I raced downstairs. “Well, you’ re up early,” my dad said, his eyes fixed upon the newspaper. My mother, who was cooking breakfast, paid me no attention.“Have they forgotten about me?” I wondered. “No, they would never do that.”“Mama, I was wondering if you could cook me some pancakes,” I said in a cheerful tone. “Jessie, I am in a hurry today. I am afraid I don’t have time to make you pancakes,” my mother said.None of them seemed to be aware of my special day. At least for my sake, they could’ve given it some importance. And none of my brothers seemed to be interested in my birthday either.I felt a bit down. For months we had been planning events for my birthday — shopping, games, decorations and so much more— but now, they all seemed to have forgotten about my birthday.Lunch was boring, with nothing special cooked for my special day. Everyone sat talking about random (随意的) things, not once mentioning my birthday.Disappointed, I climbed up the stairs to my room and lay down in bed. Suddenly, Mom called out to me. I dashed (急奔) towards her, hoping to hear something cheerful. But my optimism (乐观) disappeared when she said, “Me, your dad and your brothers are attending a dinner. Since you woke up early, we thought you might need some sleep. If you feel hungry, there’s food in the fridge. Call if you need help. Bye, and be a good girl.”注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。Paragraph 1:They all waved goodbye one by one, leaving me alone in the house. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2:“Surprise!” a lot of voices called out. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】范文They all waved goodbye one by one, leaving me alone in the house.

I knew that my threat sounded useless and worthless, but I had to give it a try. With all my courage, I opened the door.“Surprise!” a lot of voices called out. Trying to find out what was happening, I looked around. All my friends, my parents and my brothers came inside the room, holding my birthday cake. I felt so overwhelmed and began to cry. “Oh, I thought you all had forgotten, “I said, fighting back tears. “Not as long as I am alive,” came the voice of a lady.
