A
Different countries celebrate Christmas in different ways. We asked some of our friends to explain what happens in their countries. This is what they told us:
France
In France, Christmas is always called Noël. Everyone has a Christmas tree, sometimes decorated in the old way with red ribbons and real white wax candles. Fir trees in the garden are often decorated too with lights on all night.
Father Christmas is called Père Noël. The Christmas meal is an important family gathering with good meat and the best wine. Few people send Christmas cards. More people send New Year cards to wish everyone good luck and joy for the New Year. These days Christmas lunch is a starter of foie gras (a strong tasting pate made from goose liver) followed by lunch of seafood — usually including lobsters and oysters.
New Zealand
Christmas starts for us with gifts under the tree, to be opened on Christmas morning. Then it’s onto a Christmas lunch either at home or at one’s parents place. Turkey or chicken with all the trimmings (佐料) is eaten. Then comes tea time. It is a BBQ for friends and family to get together, and have a few beers or wines with the meal!
Russia
In the days of the Soviet Union, Christmas was not celebrated very much. New Year was the important time — when “Father Frost” brought presents to children. With the fall of Communism, Christmas can be openly celebrated either on December 25th; or more often on January 7th. This unusual date is because the Russian Orthodox church uses the old “Julian” calendar for religious celebration days. Special Christmas food includes cakes, pies and “meat dumplings”.
Sweden
The most important day is Christmas Eve. A special Christmas meal is eaten on Christmas Eve — ham (pork), herring fish, and brown beans — and this is the time when families give presents to each other. Many people attend a church meeting early on Christmas Day.
1. Why do people in France send New Year cards?
A. To tell their friends the New Year is coming.
B. To ask for some special presents.
C. To invite their friends to family gathering.
D. To send their friends best wishes and happiness for the New Year.
2. What do they have in common when celebrating Christmas?
A. A special meal is prepared.
B. Everyone has a Christmas tree.
C. Parents give gifts to their children.
D. People attend a church gathering.
3. Which country celebrates Christmas “twice”?
A. France. B. New Zealand. C. Sweden. D. Russia.
【答案】1. D 2. A 3. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了不同的国家以不同的方式庆祝圣诞节。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“More people send New Year cards to wish everyone good luck and joy for the New Year. (更多的人寄贺年卡，祝每个人新年好运和快乐)”可知，法国人送新年卡片是为了给朋友送去新年祝福。故选D项。

(这是一个朋友和家人聚在一起的烧烤，吃顿饭喝几杯啤酒或葡萄酒! )”，第五段“Special Christmas food includes cakes, pies and “meat dumplings”. (圣诞特色菜包括蛋糕、馅饼和“肉馅饺子”)”和最后一段“A special Christmas meal is eaten on Christmas Eve(圣诞前夜要吃一顿特别的圣诞大餐)”可知，这四个国家庆祝圣诞节的共同点是都有圣诞大餐。故选A项。

Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution for two of our country’s persistent problems: garbage and poverty. It’s called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snack lovers:Rather than throw your empty chip bags into the trash，donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.
Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from Doritos，Lay’s, and other favorites at two locations in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them.After they sanitize the chip bags in soapy hot water, they slice them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. They use padding and liners from old coats to line the insides.
It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags.depending on whether they’re single-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof, lightweight, and easy to carry around,” Oleita told the Detroit News.
Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and,as of last December, created 110 sleeping bags.
Sure it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the goal for Oleita—whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life — and her fellow volunteers. “We are dedicated to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,” she says.
And, of course, there’s the symbolism of recycling bags that would otherwise land in the trash and using them to help the homeless. It’s a powerful reminder that environmental injustice and poverty often go hand in hand. As Oleita told hourdetroit.com: “I think it’s time to show connections between all of these issues.”
4. What does the underlined word “persistent” mean in the first paragraph?
A. Temporary. B. Tireless. C. Continuous. D. Primitive.
5. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The empty chip bags are collected from two locations.
B. The chip bags are sealed with old coats.
C. A sleeping bag costs only 200 chip bags.
D. A sleeping bag couldn’t be washed out if dirty.
6. Why did Oleita start the Chip Bag Project?
A. To get rid of poverty. B. To make use of garbage.
C. To gain a better life. D. To make our society and environment better.
7. What can we learn from the last paragraph ?
A. Recycling bags will be landed in the trash at last.
B. Connections between these issues are hard to set up.
C. Environmental injustice and poverty often go separately.
D. There’s a symbolic meaning in this way to help the homeless.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道，介绍了来自底特律的26岁学生Eradajere Oleita 提出的名为Chip Bag Project的公益项目，通过回收空薯片袋，为无家可归者制作睡袋来保护环境和减少贫困。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后的“garbage and poverty”可知，垃圾和贫困是长期困扰我们国家的两个问题，一直没有得到解决，由此可知划线词词义为“长期的、持续的”，故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from Doritos，Lay’s, and other favorites at two locations in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them.”（吃薯片的人吃完多丽多、雷和其他最受欢迎的食物后把空袋子拿出来，放在底特律的两个地方：一家印刷店和一家服装店，Oleita和她的志愿者帮手在那里收集。）可知，空薯片袋在两个地方收集，故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution for two of our country’s persistent problems: garbage and poverty. It’s called the Chip Bag Project.”（Eradajere Oleita认为，对于我们国家的两个长期问题：垃圾和贫困，她有一个解决方案——Chip Bag Project，可能会帮忙解决部分问题。）可知，Eradajere Oleita提出Chip Bag Project是为了解决垃圾和贫困问题，也就是让我们的社会和环境变得更好，故选D。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“And, of course, there’s the symbolism of recycling bags that would otherwise land in the trash and using them to help the homeless.”（当然，还有回收垃圾袋的象征意义，否则这些垃圾袋就会落在垃圾桶里，现在它们用来帮助无家可归的人。）可知，这种帮助无家可归者的方式具有象征意义，故选D。
C
Sara Braden doesn’t have time to lose things. She’s a working mom with a lot more hobbies than her friends, and when she misplaces her keys or leaves her purse at a restaurant, she becomes annoyed and impatient. “It impacts me greatly,” says Braden, 35, a Washington officer.
According to a recent study led by Daniel Arely, a professor of psychology at Harvard University, Braden has ADHD, a type of attention disorder, which, she says, makes her “likely to put things in certain places and not remember where I put them.”
Her anxiety is familiar to anyone whose phone is missing a dozen times a day. Such kind of mistakes might result in a constant fear: Is something wrong with me? Probably not. “It’s common and certainly annoying,” says Professor Arely. “Most of the time, losing things is a breakdown of attention and memory. We’re thinking about something else. We have other concerns occupying our attention, and then we never really add the information to memory about where we’ve put the object.”
The study shows that, sometimes, people with ADHD report that losing things affects their work productivity or relationships. For example, if they can’t find their keys all the time and are late for a dinner party, they could anger their friends. In that case, it’s worth being evaluated by a doctor. Nevertheless, not all cases deserve special attention. Actually, people who have had ADHD since they were teens have nothing much to worry about. For those with ADHD, what really matters is changes from past performance.
When we’re operating on autopilot and not truly focused on our surroundings, we may still lose things even with the strongest intention not to do so, Professor Arely says. But for the most part, he thinks people can overcome the tendency to lose things. Sara Braden has learned to adapt, in part by writing down where she has stored items. She also coaches herself not to panic when an item gets lost.
8. How does the author introduce the topic?
A. By offering an example. B. By quoting a remark.
C. By making a comparison. D. By giving an explanation.
9. What is the possible reason for people’s losing things?
A. Their constant fear. B. Their common weakness.
C. Their absent-mindedness. D. Their emotional breakdown.
10. What should people with ADHD pay special attention to?
A. Improved efficiency at work. B. Occasional delay in meeting friends.
C. Losing things repeatedly since teens. D. Behavioural changes from the past.
11. What is Professor Arely’s attitude to overcoming forgetfulness?
A. Positive. B. Sceptical. C. Tolerant. D. Conservative.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究人员发现多动症与丢东西有关，指出人们丢失东西的可能原因是心不在焉。研究表明，有时多动症患者报告说，失去东西会影响他们的工作效率或人际关系。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Sara Braden doesn’t have time to lose things. She’s a working mom with a lot more hobbies than her friends, and when she misplaces her keys or leaves her purse at a restaurant, she becomes annoyed and impatient. “It impacts me greatly,” says Braden, 35, a Washington officer.(Sara Braden可没时间丢东西。她是一个职业妈妈，比她的朋友们有更多的爱好，当她把钥匙放错地方或把钱包落在餐馆时，她会变得恼火和不耐烦。“这对我影响很大，”35岁的华盛顿官员Braden说)”可推知，作者通过举例子来引入主题。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Most of the time, losing things is a breakdown of attention and memory. We’re thinking about something else. We have other concerns occupying our attention, and then we never really add the information to memory about where we’ve put the object.(很多时候，丢失东西是注意力和记忆力的崩溃。我们在想别的事情。我们的注意力被其他的事情占据了，我们从来没有把关于我们把物体放在哪里的信息添加到记忆中)”可知，人们丢失东西的可能原因是心不在焉。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“For those with ADHD, what really matters is changes from past performance.(对于多动症患者来说，真正重要的是改变过去的表现)”可知，ADHD患者应该特别注意过去的行为变化。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“When we’re operating on autopilot and not truly focused on our surroundings, we may still lose things even with the strongest intention not to do so, Professor Arely says. But for the most part, he thinks people can overcome the tendency to lose things.( Arely教授说，当我们处于自动驾驶状态，没有真正关注周围环境时，我们可能仍然会失去一些东西，即使我们最不想这样做。但在大多数情况下，他认为人们可以克服失去东西的倾向)”可推知，Arely教授认为人们是可以克服失去东西的这种倾向，由此可推知，他对克服健忘的态度是积极的。故选A。
D
“Siri, what’s the weather like in San Francisco?”
“Today’s forecast for San Antonio is…”
“No. San FRAN-CIS-CO!!”
“The tapper Sisqo was born in Baltimore, Maryland.”
Sometimes, talking to an artificially intelligent robot is, well, not so intelligent.
Yobav Shoham, the Stanford computer science professor, said, “AI has made truly amazing progress in the past decade, but computers still can’t exhibit the common sense or the general intelligence of even a 5-year-old.” Yann LeCun, a French scientist, put it more simply. “We’re very far from having machines that can learn the most basic things about the world in the way humans and animals can do. In particular areas machines have superhuman performance, but in terms of general intelligence they’re not even close to a rat,” he explained.
Oren Etzioni, an Israeli scientist, said, “There’s a brand of science fiction (小说) that’s very dystopian (反面乌托邦的). These works of fiction talk about how the world is going to get much worse. I’m too much of an optimist to get a lot of pleasure out of reading such stories.”
However, robots are becoming smarter. Indeed, our homes are becoming more intelligent when we place devices like the Amazon Echo and Google Hothe on our kitchen counter. But at least for the moment anyway, we shouldn’t feel intimidated by this artificial intelligence.
There are robots that move like animals and robots that offer guidance. There’s even a robot that can paint a picture of Einstein and a robot that can fold your laundry. Robots are not taking over the world yet. So for now, we can simply sit back and relax. And have a robot waiter pour us a drink.
12. What does the dialogue at the beginning of, the text tell us?
A. Robots aren’t as smart as we expect.
B. It isn’t easy to forecast the weather correctly.
C. A speaker may be misunderstood by another.
D. Weather is a good subject to start a conversation.
13. What do the scientists think about the artificially intelligent robots now?
A. They have superhuman performance in kitchen tasks.
B. They have the common sense of a 5-year-old.
C. They can only learn the basic things of humans.
D. They are still poor at general intelligence.
14. How did Oren find the dystopian science fiction?
A. Pleasant. B. Typical. C. Realistic. D. Controversial.
15. What does the underlined word “intimidated” mean?
A. Comforted. B. Astonished. C. Threatened. D. Disappointed.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。短文论述了人们对人工智能机器人的看法。它们的智力一般，但是正在变得越来越聪明。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据短文斜体字和正文第一段““Siri, what’s the weather like in San Francisco?”“Today’s forecast for San Antonio is…” “No. San FRAN-CIS-CO!!” “The tapper Sisqo was born in Baltimore, Maryland.” Sometimes, talking to an artificially intelligent robot is, well, not so intelligent..”（“Siri旧金山的天气怎么样？”“今天圣安东尼奥的天气预报是……”“不。是旧金山！”“踢踏者Sisqo出生于马里兰州的巴尔的摩。”有时候，和一个人工智能机器人说话并不是那么明智。）可知，文章开头的对话告诉我们机器人没有我们想象的那么聪明。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据正文第二段中的“We’re very far from having machines that can learn the most basic things about the world in the way humans and animals can do, In particular areas machines have superhuman performance, but in terms of general intelligence they’re not even close to a rat,” he explained.”（他解释说：“我们还远远没有制造出能够像人类和动物那样学习世界上最基本知识的机器。在某些领域，机器有超人的表现，但就一般智力而言，它们甚至还不及老鼠。”）由此可知，科学家们现在对人工智能机器人的看法是他们在一般智力方面仍然很差。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文中“These works of fiction talk about how the world is going to get much worse. I’m too much of an optimist to get a lot of pleasure out of reading such stories.”（这些小说讲述的是世界将如何变得更糟。我太乐观了，从阅读这样的故事中获得很多乐趣。）可知，Oren认为反面乌托邦小说是令人快乐的。故选A项。
【15题详解】
词句猜测题。根据正文倒数第二段“Indeed, our homes are becoming more intelligent when we place devices like the Amazon Echo and Google Hothe on our kitchen counter.”（事实上，当我们把亚马逊Echo和谷歌Hothe等设备放在厨房柜台上时，我们的家庭正变得更加智能化。）和最后一段“Robots are not taking over the world yet. So for now, we can simply sit back and relax. And have a robot waiter pour us a drink.”（机器人还没有占领世界。所以现在，我们可以坐下来放松一下。让机器人服务员给我们倒杯酒。）由此可知，但至少就目前而言，我们不应该被这种人工智能吓倒。所以划线词的意思是“受到威胁的”。故选C项。

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了木雕艺术的起源、分类、用途等。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意：它起源于新石器时代。木雕开始伴随着人们的日常生活需要。根据空前的the及空后的of可知，此处应填名词。beginning“开始，开端”。故填beginning。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意：后来，当人们有能力去使用他们的想象表达思想时，它就变成一门艺术。 根据空后的“to use their imagination to express ideas”可知，此处表示特指，应用定冠词the。故填the。
【38题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：最早存在的木雕在20世纪80年代在湖北省被挖掘出。根据时间状语 in the 1980s 可知，此处描述发生在过去的动作，应用一般过去时；又句子主语与dig之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，故填was dug。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：被挖掘出的木雕据说已经有2000多年的历史了。be believed to do sth.是常用句型，不定式作主语补足语，故填 to have。
【40题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：一般来说，中国古代的木雕由三个主要项目组成：建筑雕刻，家具雕刻，艺术品雕刻。此处陈述客观事实，应用一般现在时；wood carving表示“木雕艺术”，是不可数名词短语，谓语动词应用第三人称单数，又因为consist of（由......组成），本身含有被动意思，因此用主动形式，故填 consists。
【41题详解】
考查介词。句意：木雕有实用的价值，同时，也有装饰的价值。此处考查“be of +名词”结构，该结构与其中名词所对应的形容词意思相同，说明主语具有某种特征或属性，故填of。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：椅子，餐桌，书架，动物，花，以及由木头雕刻的人物都是这种艺术的例子。carve 与句子主语“Chairs, tables... figures”之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，应用过去分词作后置定语。故填carved。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在唐朝杰出诗人韩愈的诗中，他形象地描述了木雕人物。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，且在从句中作主语，先行词是Han Yu，故填who。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：中国的木雕艺术深受全世界人的欣赏，因为它的结构忠实于细节，以及它的美好主题。修饰形容词detailed 应用副词，故填 truly。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：今天，许多令人赞叹的木雕在私人艺术馆和长江沿岸居民区的装饰上可以被看到。空处在句中作定语，修饰“wood carvings”，且表示“令人赞叹的”，故填impressive。
第三节：英汉互译(共5小题;每小题3分，满分15分)
46. 气候科学家警告说，如果我们不采取适当的行动，这一变暖趋势可能会继续下去，将付出更高的代价。事实上，有关极端暴雨和热浪造成死亡和经济损失的新闻报道经常播出。
Climate scientists have warned that if we do not ________ ________ ________, this warming trend will probably continue and there will be a higher price to pay. In fact, news reports are frequently ________ about extreme rainstorms and heat waves ________ ________ and economic losses.
【答案】 ①. take ②. appropriate ③. action ④. broadcast ⑤. causing ⑥. death
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语、语态和现在分词。“采取适当的行动”为take appropriate action，do not后接动词原形，“被播出”为be broadcast，“热浪造成死亡”为heat waves causing death，现在分词作定语。故填①take；②appropriate；③action；④broadcast；⑤causing；⑥death。
47. 同伟大的欧内斯特沙克尔顿爵士去南极探险——这是我梦寐以求的冒险。我已经准备好了。19岁的时候，我身体健康而且精力充沛。然而，当我申请加入探险队时，沙克尔顿拒绝了我，因为他认为我太年轻，不合格。
An expedition to the South Pole with the great Sir Emest Shackleton— this is the adventure that I ________ ________ ________ ________. And I was ready for it.

【答案】 ①. have ②. been ③. dreaming ④. of ⑤. down ⑥. qualified
【解析】
【详解】考查动词，固定短语以及形容词。分析句子，前四个空应用动词作定语从句的谓语，强调的是动作发生在过去持续到现在甚至将来也可能继续发生，故使用现在完成进行。表示“梦寐以求的”用have been dreaming of；表示“拒绝”为固定短语，使用turn down；表示“合格的”用形容词qualified，此处在句中作表语。故答案为have been dreaming of ；down；qualified。
48. 克莱尔觉得一个机器人对她表示同情十分荒谬，但她逐渐欣赏托尼的智慧和正直，并开始信任他。托尼对她彬彬有礼。
Claire thought it was ridiculous that she ________ ________ ________ ________ by a robot, but she gradually admired his wisdom and integrity and began to trust him. He always treated her ________ ________.
【答案】 ①. was ②. being ③. offered ④. sympathy ⑤. with ⑥. dignity
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语，时态，语态和主谓一致。对比中英文句子可知，前四空意为“被同情”，也就是“被给予同情”，后两空意为“彬彬有礼”，“给予”是offer，“同情”是sympathy，是不可数名词，由第4空后的by可知，句子用被动语态，且描述当时正在进行的事情，因此前四空的句子用过去进行时的被动语态，主语she是第三人称单数，因此“被给予同情”是was being offered sympathy，“彬彬有礼”是固定短语with dignity。故填was，being，offered，sympathy，with，dignity。
49. 人们写诗有着各种各样的理由。有些诗是为了叙事，或者说是描述读者心目中的某个形象。而有些诗则是为了传达某种感情，比如喜悦和悲伤。（汉译英）
【答案】There are many reasons why people write poems. Some poems tell a story or describe something in a way that will give the readers a strong impression while some poems are meant to convey certain feelings, such as joy and sadness.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型和定语从句。第一句为there be句型，表示“人们写诗有着各种各样的理由”翻译为There are many reasons why people write poems，why引导定语从句修饰先行词reasons；第二句为while连接的并列句，表示前后对比；主语为some poems，表示“叙事”翻译为tell a story；表示“描述读者心目中的某个形象”翻译为describe something in a way that will give the readers a strong impression，that引导定语从句修饰先行词way；后一句主语为some poems；表示“为了传达某种感情”翻译为be meant to convey certain feelings；表示“比如喜悦和悲伤”翻译为such as joy and sadness。句子用一般现在时。故翻译为There are many reasons why people write poems. Some poems tell a story or describe something in a way that will give the readers a strong impression while some poems are meant to convey certain feelings, such as joy and sadness.
50. We as individuals can also reduce our “carbon footprint” by restricting the amount of carbon dioxide our lifestyles produce. It is our responsibility to seize every opportunity to educate everyone about global warming, along with its causes and impacts, because this is the most serious issue affecting all of us on this planet. （英译汉）
【答案】作为个人，我们也可以通过限制生活方式产生的二氧化碳量来减少我们的“碳足迹”。我们有责任抓住每一个机会，教育每个人了解全球变暖及其原因和影响，因为这是影响地球上所有人的最严重的问题。
【解析】
【详解】考查时态、从句、动词不定式和现在分词。We as individuals can also reduce our “carbon footprint” by restricting the amount of carbon dioxide our lifestyles produce.翻译为“作为个人，我们也可以通过限制生活方式产生的二氧化碳量来减少我们的“碳足迹”。”句子为一般现在时，by后接动名词作宾语，restrict后接宾语the amount of carbon dioxide our lifestyles produce作宾语，It is our responsibility to seize every opportunity to educate everyone about global warming, along with its causes and impacts, because this is the most serious issue affecting all of us on this planet.翻译为“我们有责任抓住每一个机会，教育每个人了解全球变暖及其原因和影响，因为这是影响地球上所有人的最严重的问题。”动词不定式作主语，it作形式主语。because引导原因状语从句。affecting all of us on this planet为现在分词作定语。故翻译为：作为个人，我们也可以通过限制生活方式产生的二氧化碳量来减少我们的“碳足迹”。我们有责任抓住每一个机会，教育每个人了解全球变暖及其原因和影响，因为这是影响地球上所有人的最严重的问题。
第五部分 书面表达：读后续写(25分)
51. 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。
A couple of months before I started high school, my parents gave me the greatest gift any teenage boy could ask for: a cellphone. I lived on that phone all summer with my face buried in its screen. I ignored my family and my surroundings (周围事物). Being connected was more important than being present.
So, you can imagine my displeasure when I learned what my dad had planned for our family vacation that year. “This year,” my dad said, “we’ll be doing something special. We’re going camping!” His excitement was met with a disappointed sigh (叹气). It wasn’t my dream vacation because mind was on my phone. I was so buried in the screen, in fact, that the first time I can remember truly looking up was when we drove across a bridge on the way to our campsite.
I stared out the window and saw redwoods towering above us, their branches threatening to pierce (刺破) the blue sky. I saw a roaring river, with slivers of silky black water appearing between crashing white rapids. The air blowing into the car from the open windows was hot. But none of that mattered to me. The reason I had looked up was for something far more serious: my phone no longer had service.
The last hour of the drive was increasingly tense. My dad announced that he had chosen a campsite that had no cell service, and that my phone would be useless until we returned home. I would be trapped in the forest for four days with no way to contact the outside world! I went through the full cycle of teenage emotions during the first day of the trip. I raged (发怒). I bargained. I begged. I flip-flopped (转变) from a depressive state to anger and back.
I went to bed angrily that night. But when I awoke in the morning, something had changed.
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:
Instead of burying myself in my phone, I focused on something else: my surroundings.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The next four days passed in a flash with many fun activities.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Para 1:
Instead of burying myself in my phone, I focused on something else: my surroundings. I let the noise of the wilderness wash over me, animals and bugs creating a ruckus that was both loud and serene at the same time. My anger turned to peace, then little interest and, finally, excitement. Standing on the high campsite, I felt the weight of stress melt from my shoulders as I viewed the vast expanse that unfolded below me. The sight that met my startled eyes nearly took my breath away. For the first time, I thought camping in a place that had no cell service might not be so bad.
Para 2:
The next four days passed in a flash with many fun activities. I hiked. I swam. I fished. My dad and I learned how to start a fire together after several false starts. We cooked together and I ate the sweetest marshmallows I had ever tasted. Dad told me stories of his life, stories I had never heard or perhaps I hadn’t been listening. When the weekend came to an end, I realized I hadn’t thought of my phone once. I hadn’t felt the need to be connected to anywhere else. It dawned on me that what mattered most were the moments I was sharing with just my father and nature.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在上高中前的几个月，作者的父母给了作者一个所有青少年都能想得到的最好的礼物:一部手机，于是作者沉溺于手机，忽略了家人和周围的环境。作者的父亲计划了一次家庭旅行计，作者很是不高兴。父亲选择了一个没有手机信号的营地，作者经历了整个青少年时期的最坏情绪循环，那天晚上作者生气地上床睡觉。但当作者早上醒来时，有些事情发生了变化。

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。
A
Different countries celebrate Christmas in different ways. We asked some of our friends to explain what happens in their countries. This is what they told us:
France
In France, Christmas is always called Noël. Everyone has a Christmas tree, sometimes decorated in the old way with red ribbons and real white wax candles. Fir trees in the garden are often decorated too with lights on all night.
Father Christmas is called Père Noël. The Christmas meal is an important family gathering with good meat and the best wine. Few people send Christmas cards. More people send New Year cards to wish everyone good luck and joy for the New Year. These days Christmas lunch is a starter of foie gras (a strong tasting pate made from goose liver) followed by lunch of seafood — usually including lobsters and oysters.
New Zealand
Christmas starts for us with gifts under the tree, to be opened on Christmas morning. Then it’s onto a Christmas lunch either at home or at one’s parents place. Turkey or chicken with all the trimmings (佐料) is eaten. Then comes tea time. It is a BBQ for friends and family to get together, and have a few beers or wines with the meal!
Russia
In the days of the Soviet Union, Christmas was not celebrated very much. New Year was the important time — when “Father Frost” brought presents to children. With the fall of Communism, Christmas can be openly celebrated either on December 25th; or more often on January 7th. This unusual date is because the Russian Orthodox church uses the old “Julian” calendar for religious celebration days. Special Christmas food includes cakes, pies and “meat dumplings”.
Sweden
The most important day is Christmas Eve. A special Christmas meal is eaten on Christmas Eve — ham (pork), herring fish, and brown beans — and this is the time when families give presents to each other. Many people attend a church meeting early on Christmas Day.
1. Why do people in France send New Year cards?
A. To tell their friends the New Year is coming.
B. To ask for some special presents.
C. To invite their friends to family gathering.
D. To send their friends best wishes and happiness for the New Year.
2. What do they have in common when celebrating Christmas?
A. A special meal is prepared.
B. Everyone has a Christmas tree.
C. Parents give gifts to their children.
D. People attend a church gathering.
3. Which country celebrates Christmas “twice”?
A. France. B. New Zealand. C. Sweden. D. Russia.
【答案】1. D 2. A 3. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了不同的国家以不同的方式庆祝圣诞节。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“More people send New Year cards to wish everyone good luck and joy for the New Year. (更多的人寄贺年卡，祝每个人新年好运和快乐)”可知，法国人送新年卡片是为了给朋友送去新年祝福。故选D项。
2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The Christmas meal is an important family gathering with good meat and the best wine. (圣诞大餐是一个重要的家庭聚会，有美味的肉和最好的酒)”，第四段“It is a BBQ for friends and family to get together, and have a few beers or wines with the meal! (这是一个朋友和家人聚在一起的烧烤，吃顿饭喝几杯啤酒或葡萄酒! )”，第五段“Special Christmas food includes cakes, pies and “meat dumplings”. (圣诞特色菜包括蛋糕、馅饼和“肉馅饺子”)”和最后一段“A special Christmas meal is eaten on Christmas Eve(圣诞前夜要吃一顿特别的圣诞大餐)”可知，这四个国家庆祝圣诞节的共同点是都有圣诞大餐。故选A项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Christmas can be openly celebrated either on December 25th; or more often on January 7th.(圣诞节可以在12月25日公开庆祝；或者更经常是在1月7日庆祝)”可知，俄罗斯人会过两次圣诞节。故选D项。
B
Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution for two of our country’s persistent problems: garbage and poverty. It’s called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snack lovers:Rather than throw your empty chip bags into the trash，donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.
Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from Doritos，Lay’s, and other favorites at two locations in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them.After they sanitize the chip bags in soapy hot water, they slice them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. They use padding and liners from old coats to line the insides.
It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags.depending on whether they’re single-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof, lightweight, and easy to carry around,” Oleita told the Detroit News.
Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and,as of last December, created 110 sleeping bags.
Sure it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the goal for Oleita—whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life — and her fellow volunteers. “We are dedicated to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,” she says.
And, of course, there’s the symbolism of recycling bags that would otherwise land in the trash and using them to help the homeless. It’s a powerful reminder that environmental injustice and poverty often go hand in hand. As Oleita told hourdetroit.com: “I think it’s time to show connections between all of these issues.”
4. What does the underlined word “persistent” mean in the first paragraph?
A. Temporary. B. Tireless. C. Continuous. D. Primitive.
5. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The empty chip bags are collected from two locations.
B. The chip bags are sealed with old coats.
C. A sleeping bag costs only 200 chip bags.
D. A sleeping bag couldn’t be washed out if dirty.
6. Why did Oleita start the Chip Bag Project?
A. To get rid of poverty. B. To make use of garbage.
C. To gain a better life. D. To make our society and environment better.
7. What can we learn from the last paragraph ?
A. Recycling bags will be landed in the trash at last.
B. Connections between these issues are hard to set up.
C. Environmental injustice and poverty often go separately.
D. There’s a symbolic meaning in this way to help the homeless.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. D
【解析】

Sara Braden doesn’t have time to lose things. She’s a working mom with a lot more hobbies than her friends, and when she misplaces her keys or leaves her purse at a restaurant, she becomes annoyed and impatient. “It impacts me greatly,” says Braden, 35, a Washington officer.
According to a recent study led by Daniel Arely, a professor of psychology at Harvard University, Braden has ADHD, a type of attention disorder, which, she says, makes her “likely to put things in certain places and not remember where I put them.”
Her anxiety is familiar to anyone whose phone is missing a dozen times a day. Such kind of mistakes might result in a constant fear: Is something wrong with me? Probably not. “It’s common and certainly annoying,” says Professor Arely. “Most of the time, losing things is a breakdown of attention and memory. We’re thinking about something else. We have other concerns occupying our attention, and then we never really add the information to memory about where we’ve put the object.”
The study shows that, sometimes, people with ADHD report that losing things affects their work productivity or relationships. For example, if they can’t find their keys all the time and are late for a dinner party, they could anger their friends. In that case, it’s worth being evaluated by a doctor. Nevertheless, not all cases deserve special attention. Actually, people who have had ADHD since they were teens have nothing much to worry about. For those with ADHD, what really matters is changes from past performance.
When we’re operating on autopilot and not truly focused on our surroundings, we may still lose things even with the strongest intention not to do so, Professor Arely says. But for the most part, he thinks people can overcome the tendency to lose things. Sara Braden has learned to adapt, in part by writing down where she has stored items. She also coaches herself not to panic when an item gets lost.
8. How does the author introduce the topic?
A. By offering an example. B. By quoting a remark.
C. By making a comparison. D. By giving an explanation.
9. What is the possible reason for people’s losing things?
A. Their constant fear. B. Their common weakness.
C. Their absent-mindedness. D. Their emotional breakdown.
10. What should people with ADHD pay special attention to?
A. Improved efficiency at work. B. Occasional delay in meeting friends.
C. Losing things repeatedly since teens. D. Behavioural changes from the past.
11. What is Professor Arely’s attitude to overcoming forgetfulness?
A. Positive. B. Sceptical. C. Tolerant. D. Conservative.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】

【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Sara Braden doesn’t have time to lose things. She’s a working mom with a lot more hobbies than her friends, and when she misplaces her keys or leaves her purse at a restaurant, she becomes annoyed and impatient. “It impacts me greatly,” says Braden, 35, a Washington officer.(Sara Braden可没时间丢东西。她是一个职业妈妈，比她的朋友们有更多的爱好，当她把钥匙放错地方或把钱包落在餐馆时，她会变得恼火和不耐烦。“这对我影响很大，”35岁的华盛顿官员Braden说)”可推知，作者通过举例子来引入主题。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Most of the time, losing things is a breakdown of attention and memory. We’re thinking about something else.

【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“For those with ADHD, what really matters is changes from past performance.(对于多动症患者来说，真正重要的是改变过去的表现)”可知，ADHD患者应该特别注意过去的行为变化。故选D。

“Siri, what’s the weather like in San Francisco?”
“Today’s forecast for San Antonio is…”
“No. San FRAN-CIS-CO!!”
“The tapper Sisqo was born in Baltimore, Maryland.”
Sometimes, talking to an artificially intelligent robot is, well, not so intelligent.
Yobav Shoham, the Stanford computer science professor, said, “AI has made truly amazing progress in the past decade, but computers still can’t exhibit the common sense or the general intelligence of even a 5-year-old.” Yann LeCun, a French scientist, put it more simply. “We’re very far from having machines that can learn the most basic things about the world in the way humans and animals can do. In particular areas machines have superhuman performance, but in terms of general intelligence they’re not even close to a rat,” he explained.
Oren Etzioni, an Israeli scientist, said, “There’s a brand of science fiction (小说) that’s very dystopian (反面乌托邦的). These works of fiction talk about how the world is going to get much worse. I’m too much of an optimist to get a lot of pleasure out of reading such stories.”
However, robots are becoming smarter. Indeed, our homes are becoming more intelligent when we place devices like the Amazon Echo and Google Hothe on our kitchen counter. But at least for the moment anyway, we shouldn’t feel intimidated by this artificial intelligence.
There are robots that move like animals and robots that offer guidance. There’s even a robot that can paint a picture of Einstein and a robot that can fold your laundry. Robots are not taking over the world yet. So for now, we can simply sit back and relax. And have a robot waiter pour us a drink.
12. What does the dialogue at the beginning of, the text tell us?
A. Robots aren’t as smart as we expect.
B. It isn’t easy to forecast the weather correctly.
C. A speaker may be misunderstood by another.
D. Weather is a good subject to start a conversation.
13. What do the scientists think about the artificially intelligent robots now?
A. They have superhuman performance in kitchen tasks.
B. They have the common sense of a 5-year-old.
C. They can only learn the basic things of humans.
D. They are still poor at general intelligence.
14. How did Oren find the dystopian science fiction?
A. Pleasant. B. Typical. C. Realistic. D. Controversial.
15. What does the underlined word “intimidated” mean?
A. Comforted. B. Astonished. C. Threatened. D. Disappointed.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。短文论述了人们对人工智能机器人的看法。它们的智力一般，但是正在变得越来越聪明。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据短文斜体字和正文第一段““Siri, what’s the weather like in San Francisco?”“Today’s forecast for San Antonio is…” “No. San FRAN-CIS-CO!!” “The tapper Sisqo was born in Baltimore, Maryland.” Sometimes, talking to an artificially intelligent robot is, well, not so intelligent..”（“Siri旧金山的天气怎么样？”“今天圣安东尼奥的天气预报是……”“不。是旧金山！”“踢踏者Sisqo出生于马里兰州的巴尔的摩。”有时候，和一个人工智能机器人说话并不是那么明智。）可知，文章开头的对话告诉我们机器人没有我们想象的那么聪明。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据正文第二段中的“We’re very far from having machines that can learn the most basic things about the world in the way humans and animals can do, In particular areas machines have superhuman performance, but in terms of general intelligence they’re not even close to a rat,” he explained.”（他解释说：“我们还远远没有制造出能够像人类和动物那样学习世界上最基本知识的机器。在某些领域，机器有超人的表现，但就一般智力而言，它们甚至还不及老鼠。”）由此可知，科学家们现在对人工智能机器人的看法是他们在一般智力方面仍然很差。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文中“These works of fiction talk about how the world is going to get much worse. I’m too much of an optimist to get a lot of pleasure out of reading such stories.”（这些小说讲述的是世界将如何变得更糟。我太乐观了，从阅读这样的故事中获得很多乐趣。）可知，Oren认为反面乌托邦小说是令人快乐的。故选A项。
【15题详解】
词句猜测题。根据正文倒数第二段“Indeed, our homes are becoming more intelligent when we place devices like the Amazon Echo and Google Hothe on our kitchen counter.”（事实上，当我们把亚马逊Echo和谷歌Hothe等设备放在厨房柜台上时，我们的家庭正变得更加智能化。）和最后一段“Robots are not taking over the world yet. So for now, we can simply sit back and relax. And have a robot waiter pour us a drink.”（机器人还没有占领世界。所以现在，我们可以坐下来放松一下。让机器人服务员给我们倒杯酒。）由此可知，但至少就目前而言，我们不应该被这种人工智能吓倒。所以划线词的意思是“受到威胁的”。故选C项。

【详解】考查固定短语，时态，语态和主谓一致。对比中英文句子可知，前四空意为“被同情”，也就是“被给予同情”，后两空意为“彬彬有礼”，“给予”是offer，“同情”是sympathy，是不可数名词，由第4空后的by可知，句子用被动语态，且描述当时正在进行的事情，因此前四空的句子用过去进行时的被动语态，主语she是第三人称单数，因此“被给予同情”是was being offered sympathy，“彬彬有礼”是固定短语with dignity。故填was，being，offered，sympathy，with，dignity。
49. 人们写诗有着各种各样的理由。有些诗是为了叙事，或者说是描述读者心目中的某个形象。而有些诗则是为了传达某种感情，比如喜悦和悲伤。（汉译英）
【答案】There are many reasons why people write poems. Some poems tell a story or describe something in a way that will give the readers a strong impression while some poems are meant to convey certain feelings, such as joy and sadness.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型和定语从句。第一句为there be句型，表示“人们写诗有着各种各样的理由”翻译为There are many reasons why people write poems，why引导定语从句修饰先行词reasons；第二句为while连接的并列句，表示前后对比；主语为some poems，表示“叙事”翻译为tell a story；表示“描述读者心目中的某个形象”翻译为describe something in a way that will give the readers a strong impression，that引导定语从句修饰先行词way；后一句主语为some poems；表示“为了传达某种感情”翻译为be meant to convey certain feelings；表示“比如喜悦和悲伤”翻译为such as joy and sadness。句子用一般现在时。故翻译为There are many reasons why people write poems. Some poems tell a story or describe something in a way that will give the readers a strong impression while some poems are meant to convey certain feelings, such as joy and sadness.
50. We as individuals can also reduce our “carbon footprint” by restricting the amount of carbon dioxide our lifestyles produce. It is our responsibility to seize every opportunity to educate everyone about global warming, along with its causes and impacts, because this is the most serious issue affecting all of us on this planet. （英译汉）
【答案】作为个人，我们也可以通过限制生活方式产生的二氧化碳量来减少我们的“碳足迹”。我们有责任抓住每一个机会，教育每个人了解全球变暖及其原因和影响，因为这是影响地球上所有人的最严重的问题。
【解析】
【详解】考查时态、从句、动词不定式和现在分词。We as individuals can also reduce our “carbon footprint” by restricting the amount of carbon dioxide our lifestyles produce.翻译为“作为个人，我们也可以通过限制生活方式产生的二氧化碳量来减少我们的“碳足迹”。”句子为一般现在时，by后接动名词作宾语，restrict后接宾语the amount of carbon dioxide our lifestyles produce作宾语，It is our responsibility to seize every opportunity to educate everyone about global warming, along with its causes and impacts, because this is the most serious issue affecting all of us on this planet.翻译为“我们有责任抓住每一个机会，教育每个人了解全球变暖及其原因和影响，因为这是影响地球上所有人的最严重的问题。”动词不定式作主语，it作形式主语。because引导原因状语从句。affecting all of us on this planet为现在分词作定语。故翻译为：作为个人，我们也可以通过限制生活方式产生的二氧化碳量来减少我们的“碳足迹”。我们有责任抓住每一个机会，教育每个人了解全球变暖及其原因和影响，因为这是影响地球上所有人的最严重的问题。
第五部分 书面表达：读后续写(25分)
51. 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。
A couple of months before I started high school, my parents gave me the greatest gift any teenage boy could ask for: a cellphone. I lived on that phone all summer with my face buried in its screen. I ignored my family and my surroundings (周围事物). Being connected was more important than being present.
So, you can imagine my displeasure when I learned what my dad had planned for our family vacation that year. “This year,” my dad said, “we’ll be doing something special. We’re going camping!” His excitement was met with a disappointed sigh (叹气). It wasn’t my dream vacation because mind was on my phone. I was so buried in the screen, in fact, that the first time I can remember truly looking up was when we drove across a bridge on the way to our campsite.
I stared out the window and saw redwoods towering above us, their branches threatening to pierce (刺破) the blue sky. I saw a roaring river, with slivers of silky black water appearing between crashing white rapids. The air blowing into the car from the open windows was hot. But none of that mattered to me. The reason I had looked up was for something far more serious: my phone no longer had service.
The last hour of the drive was increasingly tense. My dad announced that he had chosen a campsite that had no cell service, and that my phone would be useless until we returned home. I would be trapped in the forest for four days with no way to contact the outside world! I went through the full cycle of teenage emotions during the first day of the trip. I raged (发怒). I bargained. I begged. I flip-flopped (转变) from a depressive state to anger and back.
I went to bed angrily that night. But when I awoke in the morning, something had changed.
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。

Instead of burying myself in my phone, I focused on something else: my surroundings.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Para 1:
Instead of burying myself in my phone, I focused on something else: my surroundings. I let the noise of the wilderness wash over me, animals and bugs creating a ruckus that was both loud and serene at the same time. My anger turned to peace, then little interest and, finally, excitement. Standing on the high campsite, I felt the weight of stress melt from my shoulders as I viewed the vast expanse that unfolded below me. The sight that met my startled eyes nearly took my breath away. For the first time, I thought camping in a place that had no cell service might not be so bad.
Para 2:
The next four days passed in a flash with many fun activities. I hiked. I swam. I fished. My dad and I learned how to start a fire together after several false starts. We cooked together and I ate the sweetest marshmallows I had ever tasted. Dad told me stories of his life, stories I had never heard or perhaps I hadn’t been listening. When the weekend came to an end, I realized I hadn’t thought of my phone once. I hadn’t felt the need to be connected to anywhere else. It dawned on me that what mattered most were the moments I was sharing with just my father and nature.
