二、阅读理解
Check out these places and have the vacation of a lifetime in Greece!
Lovely Ithaca
Located on the Ionian Sea, Ithaca is a combination of the greenest landscapes in Greece, the most wonderful swimming waters and a lively local atmosphere. When going around the narrow island, you will be attracted by the hilltop village Stavros and the beautiful fishing village Frikes. For motorists, Kaminia beach, hidden in a peaceful cove, is the perfect destination for a day of relaxation.
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.
Ios－the favorite destination of the future
Ios may be left out of many people’s plans as it is known as a party island, but in fact the party season only lasts from about half of June to mid-August. In the off-season, the island is very quiet compared to popular destinations such as Santorini. Of course, Ios is an absolute destination for party-goers even in midsummer. Ios is dotted with a number of small churches. What makes Ios interesting is its setting for an ideal holiday without crowds and noise. Here is a guaranteed hit of the future, waiting to be discovered!
21、Where is Kaminia beach located?
A. In Ios. B. In Ithaca. C. In Santorini. D. In Meteora.
22、What can travelers see in Meteora?
A. Historical buildings. B. Special local foods.
C. Beaches and islands. D. Beautiful fishing villages.
23、What is the feature of Ios island?
A. There are many places of interest. B. It is popular with party-goers.
C. People can swim in wonderful waters. D. There are column-shaped rocks.
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 onto 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 writer 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.”
24、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.
25、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.
26、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.
27、What is the main idea of the text?
A. I wrote to the writers in my life. B. I grew up with writing.
C. What does writing mean to 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 ready 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 Antarctica.
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 underwater 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. Antarctica’s waters are protected by an international agreement, which means the ship can’t be disturbed. The Endurance22 team plans to create a digital 3D model of the wreck site, using a careful scan they made. This will allow scientists to study the ship in detail without disturbing it.
28、What helped to keep the Endurance in good shape?
A. Sea sand. B. Cold water. C. Fine weather. D. Special wood.
29、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.
30、What plays the most important role in finding the Endurance?
A. Technology. B. Patience. C. Weather. D. Luck.
31、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.
As many as 300 million full-time jobs throughout the world could be automated in some way by the newest wave of artificial intelligence that has made platforms like ChatGPT, 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 partly 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 toward 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.”
32、Who are less likely to be affected by AI automation according to Paragraph 2?
A. Repairmen. B. White-collar workers.
C. Administrative workers. D. Lawyers.
33、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.
34、What does the underlined word “complement” in paragraph 6 mean?
A. To add to something to improve. B. To destroy.
C. To introduce new things. D. To displace.
35、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

36、People love to sing! Whether you sing in the shower or with a chorus, raising your voice in song comes with some very surprising benefits. From improving your mood to making you healthier, there is scientific evidence that singing is good for your body and your mind. ①_______
It helps relieve stress.
Singing can help relieve stress by reducing cortisol(皮质醇), a hormone that is known as the “stress hormone”. ②_______ Too much cortisol is very bad for your health.

54、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.

20、答案：A
解析：The modern American holiday of Mother’s Day was first celebrated in 1908. It is on the second Sunday in May. It is a day to honor mothers. On that day mothers usually receive flowers and cards.
On the cards, children often write, “Thanks, Mom”, “To the best mother in the world” and so on. Then where did the idea for the holiday come from? We should thank Miss Anna Marie Jarvis. It is she who brought up the idea of having such a day. She lived in West Virginia. Anna’s mother was a peace activist who cared for wounded soldiers on both sides of the Civil War and created Mother’s Day Work Clubs to address public health issues(问题). Her mother died on May 9th, 1905. On the anniversary of her mother’s death, she invited some friends to an informal memorial meeting. In 1907, a church service was held on her mother’s death anniversary. Anna’s love for her mother moved other people. Besides, she wrote letters to important persons of the country suggesting a public holiday to honor all mothers. In 1914, the United States Congress agreed that the second Sunday in May should be appointed as Mother’s Day. Finally, the decision was announced by President Wilson.

解析：主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述作者在成为作家的路上，给一些著名的作家写信，他们的建议和反馈让作者受益良多，结合第一段“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 workmeant to me.(多年来，当一本书对我产生了特殊的影响时，我就会动笔写信给作者，告诉他他们的作品对我意味着什么)”可知，A 项“Writing to the Writers in My Life(给我生命中的作家写信)”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选A。
28、答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第三自然段最后一句“Scientists say that the small organisms (微生物) that normally break down wooden objects underwater don’t live in cold water around Antarctica. (科学家表示，通常在水下分解木制物体 小型生物并不生活在南极洲周围的冷水中。)”可知，分解木制品的微生物无法在南极洲附近的寒冷水域生存，所以冷水帮助“耐力”号保持了良好的状态。故选B。
29、答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据第六自然段“The robots were looking for anything sticking up above the seafloor. Last Saturday, the ship was found. (机器人正在寻找海底上方的任何东西。上周六，这艘船被发现了。)”可知，机器人在上周六发现沉船。故选C。
30、答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第五自然段“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. (在过去的两周里，Sabertoths 机器人一直在“耐力”号最后一个已知位置周围150 平方英里的海底进行扫描。)”和最后一段“The Endurance22 team plans to create a digital 3D model of the wreck site, using a careful scan they made. (Endurance22 团队计划通过仔细扫描，创建沉船现场的数字3D 模型。)”可知，在寻找“耐力”号的过程中，科技起着最重要的作用。故选A。
31、答案：C
解析：主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了Endurance22 搜索队找到“耐力”号沉船。全文围绕科学家借助机器人来定位沉船的位置展开。C 项“Locate the Endurance.(定位“耐力”号)”最能概括本文主旨。故选C。
32、答案：A
解析：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。
33、答案：C
解析：细节理解题。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Al 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。
34、答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第六段中的最后一段中的“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(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)”由此可推测出，提到美国工人是为了说AI 的一些好处。故选A。
35、答案：C
解析：标题归纳题。文章首段“As many as 300 million full-time jobs around the world could be automated in some way by the newest wave of artificial intelligence that has made platforms like ChatGPT, 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。A 项“人工智能的影响”最适合做文章标题。故选C。
36、答案：①-⑤DGAFE

①上文“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。)”指出唱歌对我们的身体和心灵都有好处，空处承接上文，鼓励人们唱歌，D 项“所以尽情歌唱吧。”符合，故选D。

52、答案：①on②witnessed③to enjoy④joyfully⑤a⑥economic⑦motivation⑧or⑨What⑩has been passed
解析：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了花灯文化的由来与发展。
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考查非谓语动词。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(见证)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考查非谓语动词。句意：这是全家赏月、放鞭炮、猜灯谜、吃元宵、欢度佳节的时刻。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，单三式；文化被代代相传，应用被动。故填has been passed。
53、答案：
Dear fellow students,
I am Li Hua, a senior three student of our school. There exists a very common phenomenon among us that many students stay up late to study and fall asleep in class. Now, I am calling for everyone's attention to this matter.
What should be stressed is that health comes first in the long journey to success. As far as I am concerned, we should take the following steps to prepare for Gaokao. First, we should focus on what the teachers say in class. In addition, we'd better make the most of the free time to finish the homework. Last but not least, we should try to form a good habit of going to bed early.
I firmly believe that we will make great progress by balancing our study and rest. So let's take action now!
Li Hua

54、答案：
As I drove to the vet’s office, Jordan sat in the back, holding Meatball inside his coat for warmth. I could hear him talking to the cat, apologizing in soft tones. He was clearly near tears. After examining him, the vet determined that Meatball had a mild case of frostbite on his paws, ears and tail, but no permanent damage. “But this could have been bad,” the vet cautioned. “Severe frostbite usually requires amputation. In this extreme weather, this little guy needs to stay inside overnight, whether he wants to or not.”
On the drive home, Jordan surprisingly apologized to me. “I’m sorry for how I’ve acted about my curfew,” he said. “I know you’re doing it because you love me and want to keep me safe.” 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.

②由第二段首句内容“在开车回家的路上，乔丹出人意料地向我道歉。”可知，本段可以写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。
