Breathtaking Meteora
Although when you go to Greece,you often go to the beaches and islands,one of the must-visit destinations in Greece is definitely the breathtakingly beautiful Meteora,located on the mainland next to the village of Kalabaka.It is a natural attraction and the second most important monastic area in Greece,which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.Meteora's landscape is made special by the rocks shaped like columns(柱状物) over time,on which the Monasteries (修道院) of the area were built around the 14th and 16th centuries.

Over the years,when a book has spoken to me with particular power,I have put pen to paper and send word off to the author,communicating what their work meant to me.
It all started in my 18th year,when I was entertaining my own imagination of success as a writer.I was full of high expectations,believing that becoming an author was simply a matter of putting my thoughts on to paper,sending the works to a publisher and waiting for fame to come.Then came the great disappointment.I wrote to famous children's author Lloyd Alexander,describing my fruitless yearlong effort at publication and asking him for direction.
To my joy,he answered:"Advice is always very easy to give — but very hard to make it specific and meaningful,since we all have to work in our own ways.When you mention that you've been writing for a year without being published,I hasten to tell you that I wrote seven times that long without being published!So,perhaps one piece of advice is:Patience."
I was encouraged by the idea that a well-regarded write r would take the time to offer a bit of advice to an overconfident teen.But Mr.Alexander was not a singular case.But when I did get one,the content was often filled with consideration and even,at times,affection.
I think of the American poet William Stafford,who replied to me from Lake Oswego,Oregon,We actually had an ongoing correspondence(通信) for a while.I wrote to him asking if he would be so kind as to autograph one of his books for me.His reply brought an immediate smile to my face:"I am eagerly ready to autograph and return a book — it makes me feel like an author."
4. What made the author disappointed when he was 18? ______
A. He didn't meet a well-known children's author.
B. He lost fame as a young writer.
C. He failed to get his works published.
D. He was forced to give up writing.
5. What advice did Lloyd Alexander offer to the author? ______
A. Making decisions without hesitation.
B. Regarding every piece of writing as meaningful.
C. Being independent of others.
D. Keeping on trying and being patient.
6. How did the author find William Stafford? ______
A. He longed to be a successful writer.
B. He was friendly and approachable.
C. He was always ready to lend his books.
D. He hated to reply to a letter.
7. What is the main idea of the text? ______

C. What does writing meant o me.
D. I won the fame as a writer.

On Wednesday,a search team called Endurance22 announced that it had located the wreck(沉船) Endurance.The Endurance was found 1.87 miles below the ocean's surface,about four miles south of its last known location near Antarctica.The ship sank after it got trapped in the ice in the Weddell Sea in 1915.The discovered ship is still in excellent shape.The name can be clearly read on the back of the ship.Its wheel looks read y to be turned.Even though the ship is made of wood and is over 100 years old,it has survived with little damage.Scientists say that the small organisms(微生物) that normally break down wooden objects underwater don't live in cold water around Antaretica,
The Endurance22 is led by the Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust.The team ran the project from an ice-breaking ship which was able to handle the difficult conditions of the Weddell Sea.To locate the Endurance,the team used two under water robots called Sabertooths,which were especially useful,since they could travel under the ice and go where the ship could not.The robots were looking for anything sticking up above the seafloor.For the last two weeks,the Sabertooths robots have been scanning the seafloor in a 150-square mile area around the Endurance's last known location.Last Saturday,the ship was found.After the ship was located,the Sabertooths used high-quality cameras and scanners to record the Endurance in detail.
The Endurance is expected to remain untouched.Antaretica's waters are protected by an international agreement,which means the ship can't be disturbed.The Endurance22 team plans to create a digital 3 D model of the wreck site,using a careful scan they made.This will allow scientists to study the ship in detail without distribution g it
8. What helped to keep the Endurance in good shape? ______
A. Sea sand. B. Cold water. C. Fine weather. D. Special wood.
9. What can we infer from the passage? ______
A. The Endurance sank in the 1920s.
B. The Endurance was damaged seriously.
C. The Sabertooths found the Endurance last Saturday.
D. Scientists will not study the ship because they can't touch it.
10. What plays the most important role in finding the Endurance? ______
A. Technology. B. Patience. C. Weather. D. Luck.
11. What is the best title for the passage? ______
A. Study the Endurance. B. Explore the Weddell Sea.
C. Locate the Endurance. D. Scan the Seafloor.
D
As many as 300 million full-time jobs throughout the world could be automated in someway by the newest wave of artificial intelligence that has made platforms like Chat GPT,according to Goldman Sachs economists.
In a report Sunday,they predicted that 18% of work globally could be computerized,with the effects caused more deeply in advanced economies than emerging markets.That's party because white-collar workers are seen to be more at risk than manual laborers.Administrative workers and lawyers are expected to be most affected,the economists said,compared to the "little effect" seen on physically demanding or outdoor occupations,such as construction and repair work.
In the United States and Europe,about two-thirds of current jobs"are exposed to some degree of AI automation",and up to a quarter of all work could be done by AI completely,the bank estimates.
Further use of such Al will likely contribute to job losses,the Goldman Sachs economists wrote.But they noted that technological innovation that initially displaces workers has historically also created employment growth in the long run.
While workplaces may shift,widespread adoption of Al could ultimately increase labor productivity—and boost global GDP by 7% annually over a 10-year period,according to Goldman Sachs economists.
"Although the impact of AI on the labor market is likely to be significant,most jobs and industries are only partially exposed to automation and are thus more likely to be complemented rather than replaced by AI," the economists added."Most workers are employed in occupations that are partially exposed to AI automation and,following AI adoption,will likely apply at least some of their freed-up capacity to ward productive activities that increase output.""
Of US workers expected to be affected,for instance,25% to 50% of their workload "can be replaced," the researchers added. "The combination of significant labor cost savings,new job creation,and a productivity boost for non-displaced workers raises the possibility of a labor productivity boom like those that followed the emergence of earlier general-purpose technologies like the electric motor and personal computer."
12. Who are less likely to be affected by Al automation according to Paragraph 2? ______
A. Repairmen. B. White-collar workers.
C. Administrative workers. D. Lawyers.
13. What can we learn about AI according to Goldman Sachs economists? ______
A. AI may cause little impact on the labor market.
B. AI has replaced most jobs and industries.
C. AI may increase labor productivity.
D. AI has caused huge job losses.
14. What does the underlined word"complement" in paragraph6 mean? ______
A. To add to something to improve. B. To destroy.
C. To introduce new things. D. To displace.
15. What's the best title for the text? ______
A. The Concept of AI B. The Achievements of AI
C. The Impacts of AI D. The Development of AI

38. 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。
"I have to be home earlier than all my friends," my teenage son,Jordan,said. "I' m seventeen years old,and I still have a curfew(宵禁).Legally,I'm practically an adult."
"You're not an adult," I said. "You're still in high school." "None of my friends had a curfew.You don't trust me." "It's not about trust," I said. "It's about wanting what's best for you.I want to protect you." "Protect me from what?Having fun?"
I sighed.How could I make Jordan see that I only wanted the best for him?I decided to go for a walk.I opened the front door and nearly stepped on him:a small black cat with a white-tipped tail. "Hi,Meatball," I said,scooping him into my arms. "Are you ready to come back inside?"
Meatball usually seemed happy enough to come in the house,but after an hour or two,he sat by the door,meowing to go back outside. "Why won't he just stay in with us all the time?" Nathan asked. "Because he's used to living outside," I said.
Jordan's curfew had become an ongoing discussion that rarely ended well for either of us.I decided to ignore his comment.Thankfully,he didn't say anything else.
One night in January,temperatures were usually low.Meatball stood at the door,meowing to go outside. "It' s too cold out there,Bud," I said. "You'll freeze." He stared at me and meowed again. "Mom's not being mean to you," Nathan told the cat. "She's just trying to keep you from turning into a frozen Meatball." We both laughed at his joke.
The next morning,I couldn't find Meatball.Jordan said, "I let him out last night." It took me several minutes to find him curled in a tiny ball beneath my husband's car.I picked him up,unsure if he was alive or dead.While I called the vet,Jordan warmed towels in the dryer and wrapped them around Meatball.
"I'm sorry,Buddy," I heard him say over and over again. "Mom was right.Even though you didn't want to,I should have made you stay inside where it was safe."
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。
As I drove to the vet's office,Jordan sat in the back,holding Meatball inside his coat for warmth.
_______
On the drive home,Jordan surprisingly apologized to me.
_______

一、速读全文,了解大意知主题。
阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力,考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读,搜寻关键词、主题句,捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点,并且理清文章脉络,把握语篇实质。
二、看题干,带着问题读文章。
首先要掌握问题的类型,客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案;而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等,这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次,了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息,然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读,对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性,提高了做题的准确率。
三、逻辑推理,做好深层理解题。
在实际阅读中,有时作者并未把意图说出来,阅读者要根据字面意思,通过语篇逻辑关系,研究细节的暗示,推敲作者的态度,理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理,不能就事论事,以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有:infer,imply,suggest,indicate等。
四、猜词悟义,扫除阅读拦路虎。
猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文,而且要有较大的泛读量,掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜",通过构词,语法,定义,同位,对比,因果,常识,上下文等线索确定词义。
12~15.【答案】A、C、A、C
【解析】(1)细节理解题。根据第二段中的Administrative workers and lawyers are expected to be most affected,the economists said,compared to the "little effect" seen on physically demanding or outdoor occupations,such as construction and repair work.(这些经济学家们表示,与建筑和维修等对体力要求高或户外的工作表现出的"几乎没有影响"相比,行政工作者和律师预计将受到最大影响。)可知,行政工作者和律师这些白领员工受到的影响比建筑工作者和维修工作者高,所以结合选项,维修工受到的影响较小。故选 A。
(2)推理判断题。根据第五段中的While workplaces may shift,widespread adoption of Al could ultimately increase labor productivity—and boost global GDP by 7% annually over a 10-year period,according to Goldman Sachs economists.(高盛经济学家表示,虽然工作场所可能会发生变化,但广泛采用AI 最终可能会提高劳动生产率,并在10年内每年将全球GDP提高7%。)可知,AI可能会提高劳动生产率。故选 C。
(3)猜测词义题。根据第六段中的 "Although the impact of AI on the labor market is likely to be significant,most jobs and industries are only partially exposed to automation and are thus more likely to be complemented rather than replaced by AI," the economists added.(尽管人工智能对劳动力市场的影响可能很大,但大多数工作和行业只是部分受到自动化的影响,因此更有可能被人工智能补充而不是取代广)由此可推测出,提到美国工人是为了说AI的一些好处。因此complemented的意思是"添加到某物中以改进"。A.To add to something to improve.添加到某物中以改进,补充;B.To destroy.破坏;C.To introduce new things.引进新事物;D.To displace.取代。故选A。
(4)标题归纳题。文章首段 As many as 300 million full-time jobs throughout the world could be automated in someway by the newest wave of artificial intelligence that has made platforms like Chat GPT,according to Goldman Sachs economists.(高盛经济学家表示,全球多达 3亿个全职工作岗位可以通过最新一波的人工智能以某种方式实现自动化,这一波人工智能已经造就了像ChatGPT这样的平台。)点明主旨,指出人工智能会对全球许多工作产生影响,再结合接下来的内容可知,高盛经济学家具体讨论了人工智能对工作岗位和劳动生产率的影响。由此可推测出,本文围绕 "人工智能的影响"展开。C 项"人工智能的影响"最适合做文章标题。故选C。
本文是一篇说明文。未来多达3亿全职工作岗位可能受到人工智能的影响,以某种方式实现自动化。虽然这可能导致失业,但长远来看,这可以减少劳动力成本、创造新的就业岗位、提高劳动生产率。

【解析】(1)推理判断题。根据前文From improving your mood to making you healthier,there is scientific evidence that singing is good for your body and your mind(从改善你的情绪到使你更健康,有科学证据表明,唱歌对你的身体和心灵都有好处),可知D项"所以尽情歌唱吧"可以承接前文介绍唱歌对我们的身体和心灵都有好处的话题,鼓励人们唱歌,故选D。
(2)推理判断题。根据前文Singing can help relieve stress by reducing cortisol(皮质醇),a hormone that is known as the"stress hormone".It is naturally produced by your body(唱歌可以通过减少皮质醇来帮助缓解压力,皮质醇是一种被称为"应激激素"的荷尔蒙),可知G项"它是由你的身体自然产生的"以承接前文介绍皮质醇的话题,指出皮质醇是一种荷尔蒙,故选G。
(3)主题判断题。根据后文People who sing use deep breathing and control the use of the muscles in their breathing systems.While singing can not treat lung diseases?anything that helps to strengthen the throat muscles could help people breathe easier(唱歌的人会深呼吸,控制呼吸系统中肌肉的使用。而唱歌不能治疗肺部疾病?任何有助于加强咽喉肌肉的东西都可以帮助人们更容易呼吸)可知 A项"它可以改善肺功能"能概括本段内容---唱歌能改善肺功能,故选A。
(4)推理判断题。根据前文If your sleep is interrupted by snoring(打鼾),try singing(如果你的睡眠被打鼾打断,试着唱歌),可知F项"这是因为唱歌可以增强喉部肌肉,从而减少打鼾"可以承接前文,对唱歌能改善打鼾作出解释,故选F。
(5)推理判断题。根据小标题It may improve memory(它可以改善记忆);以及后文A study found that besides remembering the lyrics(歌词),singing brought back other memories too(一项研究发现,除了记住歌词,唱歌还能唤起其他记忆),可知E项"患有失忆症的老年人经常能回忆起歌词"符合本段主要介绍唱歌可以改善记忆的主题,和后句是顺承关系,recall song lyrics和remembering the lyrics相呼应,故选E。
这是一篇说明文。作者介绍了唱歌的几个好处。

36.【答案】【小题1】on
【小题2】witnessed
【小题3】to enjoy
【小题4】joyfully
【小题5】a
【小题6】economic
【小题7】motivation
【小题8】or
【小题9】What
【解析】(1)考查介词.句意:在农历正月十五。在具体的某年某月某天应用介词on,故填on。
(2)考查过去分词。句意:根据中国的一些民间习俗,在农历正月十五,在天空高悬的满月的见证下,人们会在晚上点亮各种各样的灯笼来庆祝。分析句子可知, witness是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语people之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动。故填witnessed。
(3)考查不定式。句意:这是全家赏月、放鞭炮、猜灯谜、吃元宵、欢度佳节的时刻。It is the time(for sb.) to do…是固定句型,意为"是(某人)做……的时候了"。故填to enjoy。
(4)考查副词。句意:这是全家赏月、放鞭炮、猜灯谜、吃元宵、欢度佳节的时刻。修饰动词celebrate,用副词joyfully作状语,意为"高兴地,喜悦地"。故填joyfully。
(5)考查冠词。句意:作为一种艺术形式,中国花灯结合了多种技艺、工艺、装饰方法和原材料。 a variety of是固定短语,意为"各种各样的"。故填a。
(6)考查形容词。句意:今天,经济的发展和社会的进步为灯具的设计和创意风格的升级提供了动力。提示词作定语,修饰名词development,用形容词形式economic,意为"经济的"。故填economic。
(7)考查名词。句意:今天,经济的发展和社会的进步为灯具的设计和创意风格的升级提供了动力。结合句意和空格前冠词the可知,提示词在句中作宾语,用名词motivation,意为"动力"。故填motivation。
(8)考查连词。句意:无论是纸灯、电灯还是LED灯,花灯都见证了时代的变迁。 whether…or…是固定搭配,意为"是……还是…… "。故填or。
(9)考查主语从句。句意:然而,从未改变的是工艺。连接代词what引导名词性从句时,在从句中充当主语、宾语或表语,表示 "……的人/事/物/话/地方"。分析句子可知,空格处是主语从句,从句引导词在从句中作主语,表示"(从未改变的)事"。综上,应用连接代词what引导词该主语从句。故填What。
(10)考查时态和语态。句意:看花灯已经成为一种文化,代代相传。根据上句Watching flower lamps has become a culture,可知时态应用现在完成时,主语为a culture,文化被代代相传,应用被动。故填has been passed。
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了花灯文化的由来与发展。
语法填空考查学生英语综合知识的运用,做题时要首先明确短文大意,从词语搭配,固定句型,语法,时态等方面综合考虑,结合上下文语境找出正确答案。

I felt a lump in my throat,saying, "I'm glad you understand." He nodded as he rubbed Meatball's head. "It looks like you and I are going to be spending more time in the house," he told the cat.I smiled through tears,so grateful that our frozen Meatball was going to be all right and for the important lesson he'd taught my son about loving others enough to protect them,whether they want us to or not.(乔丹通过猫咪的事情明白了妈妈的良苦用心以及妈妈感到欣慰。)
