When I was grwing up, I had an ld neighbur named Dr Gibbs. He didn’t lk like any dctr I’d ever knwn. He never yelled at us fr playing in his yard. I remember him as smene wh was a lt nicer than mst f the adults in ur cmmunity.
When Dr Gibbs wasn’t saving lives, he was planting trees. His huse sat n ten acres, and his life’s gal was t make it a frest.
The gd dctr had sme interesting theries cncerning plant care and grwth. He never watered his new trees, which flew in the face f cnventinal wisdm. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants spiled them s that each successive tree generatin wuld grw weaker and weaker. S yu have t make things rugh fr them and weed ut (淘汰) the weaker trees early n.
He talked abut hw watering trees made fr shallw rts, and hw trees that weren’t watered had t grw deep rts in search f misture. I tk him t mean that deep rts were t be treasured.
S he never watered his trees. He planted an ak and, instead f watering it every mrning, he’d beat it with a rlled­up newspaper. Smack! Slap! Pw! I asked him why he did that, and he said it was t get the tree’s attentin.
Dr Gibbs passed away a cuple f years after I left hme. Every nw and again, I walked by his huse and lked at the trees that I’d watched him plant sme twenty­five years ag. They’re extremely tall, big and rbust since they have deep rts nw. Hwever, the trees in my garden trembled in a cld wind althugh I had watered them fr several years.
It seems that adversity (逆境) and suffering benefit these trees in ways cmfrt and ease never culd. I std there deep in thught.
Every night befre I g t bed, I check n my tw sns. I stand ver them and watch their little bdies, the rising and falling f life within. I ften pray fr them. Mstly I pray that their lives will be easy. But I think it’s time t change my prayer (祷词) because nw I knw my children are ging t encunter hardship.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者的医生邻居不同寻常的种树经历，如不给树浇水等，最后树长的非常高大强壮，并经得起风吹雨打，是因为树的根非常深了，由此想到了孩子们以后将会遇到困难，所以祈祷孩子们像大树一样能深深扎根在泥土里，能经得起风雨的洗礼。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“He never watered his new trees, which flew in the face f cnventinal wisdm. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants spiled them s that each successive tree generatin wuld grw weaker and weaker.(他从不给新栽的树浇水，这与传统观念背道而驰。有一次我问他为什么。他说，浇水会破坏植物，这样每一代树都会越来越弱。)”可知，根据吉布斯博士的理论，如果给树木浇水，它们会变得更弱。故选B项。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文“They’re extremely tall, big ”（他们非常高大）文章下文“since they have deep rts nw(因为他们现在已经根深蒂固了)”和“Hwever, the trees in my garden trembled in a cld wind althugh I had watered them fr several years.(然而，我花园里的树在寒风中颤抖，尽管我已经给它们浇了好几年水。)”可知，通过没有浇水的树和浇水的树之间的对比，没浇水的树更“强壮”，所以可推测出画线词很可能是“强壮的”意思。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“It seems that adversity (逆境) and suffering benefit these trees in ways cmfrt and ease never culd.(不幸和苦难似乎比舒适和安逸更能给这些树带来好处。)”和“I ften pray fr them. Mstly I pray that their lives will be easy. But I think it’s time t change my prayer (祷词) because nw I knw my children are ging t encunter hardship.(我经常为他们祈祷。我主要祈祷他们的生活能一帆风顺。但我认为是时候改变我的祈祷了，因为现在我知道我的孩子们将会遇到困难。)”可知，作者改变了之前的祈祷，也知道孩子们以后将会遇到困难，所以可推知现在作者的祈祷是希望孩子们深深扎根在泥土里，因为雨水经常下，风经常吹。故选C项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。分析全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了作者的医生邻居不同寻常的种树经历，如不给树浇水等，最后树长的非常高大强壮，并经得起风吹雨打，是因为树的根非常深了，由此想到了孩子们以后将会遇到困难，所以祈祷孩子们像大树一样能深深扎根在泥土里，能经得起风雨的洗礼，故B选项“深根”适合用作文章标题。故选B项。
C
Adapting t technlgical advances is a defining part f the 21st-century life. Just tw mnths after being launched in Nvember 2022, OpenAI’s ChatGPT has already reached an audience f ver 100 millin peple. While ChatGPT threatens t change writing and writing-related wrk, the Mesptamians, wh lived 4,000 years ag in a gegraphical area centered in mdern-day Iraq, went thrugh this kind f far-reaching change befre us.
Ancient Mesptamia was hme t many f civilizatin’s early develpments. Its peple were wrld leaders in adapting t technlgical and cultural changes. They invented the wheel and agriculture, and pineered advances in mathematics and urbanizatin. These breakthrughs are reflected in cuneifrm(楔形文字)literature，ne f the ldest knwn frms f writing.
In its literature, Mesptamians dn’t present cultural and technlgical advances as cnsistently beneficial.They ften represent new technlgies being cntrlled in the service f human cnflict and mstly serving the interests f thse with high scial psitins. In sme ways，the representatin f new technlgies in its literature eches(映现)cntemprary cncerns abut AI: fears f increasing scial inequalities and its ptential use in infrmatin war.
In recent years，AI—the newest frm f writing—has been used t decipher(破译)the ldest: cuneifrm literature.In brader fields,the bundaries f hw AI may be used haven’t been clearly explained.In January,fr example, a tp internatinal AI cnference banned the use f AI tls fr writing scientific papers.
Humans have been struggling t invent, use and adapt t technlgy since ur earliest civilizatins. But the technlgy and resulting knwledge are nt always evenly distributed. Knwing hw we adapted t changing technlgy in the past helps us mre fully understand the human cnditin and may even help us prepare fr the future.
8. What des paragraph 2 mainly talk abut cncerning Mesptamians?
A. Their adaptatin t threats.
B. Their influences n writing.
C. Their cntributin t literature.
D. Their achievements in civilizatin.
9. What can be inferred abut technlgical advances frm paragraph 3?
A. They prevent human cnflict.
B. They bring abut hidden dangers.
C. They take away peple’s cncerns.
D. They lwer peple’s scial status.
10. What is the current situatin f AI accrding t paragraph 4?
A. Its use in literature is ppular.
B. It is nt allwed t finish papers.
C. Its range f applicatin is undefined.
D. It is nt accepted in brader fields.
11. Which f the fllwing is a suitable title fr the text?
A. Hw Peple Can Use the Latest Technlgy
B. Hw ChatGPT Will Threaten Writing and Wrk
C. What AI Will D by Learning Cuneifrm Literature
D. What Histry Can Teach Us Abut New Tech’s Impact
【答案】8 D 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要通过讲述历史上美索不达米亚人的科技成就及其影响来启示当今的科技发展及影响。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段的“Ancient Mesptamia was hme t many f civilizatin’s early develpments. Its peple were wrld leaders in adapting t technlgical and cultural changes. They invented the wheel and agriculture, and pineered advances in mathematics and urbanizatin. These breakthrughs are reflected in cuneifrm(楔形文字)literature，ne f the ldest knwn frms f writing.（古代美索不达米亚是许多早期文明发展的发源地。它的人民在适应技术和文化变化方面处于世界领先地位。他们发明了车轮和农业，开创了数学和城市化的先河。这些突破反映在楔形文字文学中，这是已知最古老的书写形式之一。）”，可知，关于美索不达米亚人，第二段主要讨论了“他们的文明成就”。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段的“They ften represent new technlgies being cntrlled in the service f human cnflict and mstly serving the interests f thse with high scial psitins.（它们通常代表着为人类冲突服务而被控制的新技术，主要为那些社会地位高的人的利益服务。）”，可知，从第3段可以推断出技术进步的“它们带来了隐患。”。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段的“In brader fields, the bundaries f hw AI may be used haven’t been clearly explained.（在更广泛的领域，人工智能如何使用的界限还没有得到明确的解释。）”，可知，根据第4段，AI的现状是“它的应用范围是不明确的。”故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通过对文章结构和内容的分析，再根据最后一段“Humans have been struggling t invent, use and adapt t technlgy since ur earliest civilizatins. But the technlgy and resulting knwledge are nt always evenly distributed. Knwing hw we adapted t changing technlgy in the past helps us mre fully understand the human cnditin and may even help us prepare fr the future.（自最早的文明以来，人类一直在努力发明、使用和适应技术。但是技术和由此产生的知识并不总是均匀分布的。了解我们如何适应过去不断变化的技术有助于我们更全面地了解人类的状况，甚至可能帮助我们为未来做好准备。）”，可知本文主要通过讲述历史上美索不达米亚人的科技成就及其影响来启示今天的科技发展及影响。所以短文的标题为“关于新技术的影响，历史能告诉我们什么”。故选D。

In shallw castal waters f the Indian cean, Dugng, a kind f sea cw, is in truble. Envirnmental prblems pse such a majr threat t its survival that the Internatinal Unin fr Cnservatin f Nature (IUCN) upgraded the species’ extinctin risk status(地位)t vulnerable (脆弱的).
Much wrse, Dugngs are at risk f lsing the prtectin f the Trres Strait Islanders, wh have lked after them histrically, hunting them fr fd sustainably and mnitring their numbers. These native peple keep their bidiversity, and have deep knwledge abut their envirnment. But these peple are als threatened, in part because rising sea levels are making it difficult fr them t live there.
This situatin isn’t unique t Dugngs. A glbal analysis f 385 culturally imprtant plant and animal species fund 68 percent were bth bilgically vulnerable and at risk f lsing their cultural prtectin.
The findings clearly illustrate that bilgy shuldn’t be the primary factr in shaping cnservatin plicy,says anthrplgist Victria Reyes-García.When a culture declines,the species that are imprtant t that culture are als threatened.“Lts f cnservatinists think we need t separate peple frm nature,” says Reyes-García. “But that strategy misses the caring relatinship many cultural grups have with nature.”
One way t help shift cnservatin effrts is t give species a “bi-cultural status,”which wuld prvide a fuller picture f their vulnerability. In the study, the team used a new way t determine a species’ risk f disappearing: the mre a cultural grup’s language use declines, the mre that culture is threatened.The mre a culture is threatened, the mre culturally vulnerable its imprtant species are. Researchers then cmbined a species’ cultural and bilgical vulnerability t arrive at its bi-cultural status. In the Dugng’s case, its bi-cultural status is endangered, meaning it is mre at risk than its IUCN categrizatin suggests.
This new apprach t cnservatin invlves peple that have histrically cared fr them. It can highlight when cmmunities need supprt t cntinue their care. Scientists hpe it will bring mre effrts that recgnize lcal cmmunities’ rights and encurage their participatin-taking advantage f humans’ cnnectin with nature instead f creating mre separatin.
12. What is the relatinship between the native peple and Dugngs?
A. The native peple help cnserve Dugngs.
B. The native peple train Dugngs t survive.
C. Dugngs ruin the native peple’s envirnment.
D. Dugngs frce the native peple t leave hme.
13. Which statement will Reyes-García prbably agree with?
A. The prtectin plicy is used incrrectly.
B. Culture is cnnected t species’ existence.
C. Many grups take gd care f each ther.
D. Cnservatinists prefer nature ver peple.
14 Hw is the study methd different frm previus nes?
A. It invlves mre preservatin effrts.
B. It relies n the IUCN’s classificatin.
C. It highlights the effect f human languages.
D. It assesses the bilgical influence f a species.
15. What is the authr’s attitude twards the latest apprach?
A. Cnservative.
B. Favurable.
C. Critical.
D. Ambiguus.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要通过海牛Dugng的例子讲述了文化与物种生存的内在关联。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段的“Much wrse, Dugngs are at risk f lsing the prtectin f the Trres Strait Islanders, wh have lked after them histrically, hunting them fr fd sustainably and mnitred their numbers. These native peple keep their bidiversity, and have deep knwledge abut their envirnments.”（更糟糕的是，Dugngs正面临着失去托雷斯海峡岛民保护的危险，这些岛民以前一直在照顾Dugngs，现在持续地猎杀它们作为食物，并监控它们的数量。这些当地人保持着他们的生物多样性，对他们的环境有深刻的了解。）可知，当地人与Dugngs的关系是当地人帮助保护Dugngs。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段的“When a culture declines, the species that are imprtant t that culture are als threatened.”（当一种文化衰落时，对该文化重要的物种也受到威胁。）可知，Reyes-García可能会同意“文化与物种的生存息息相关。”故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段的“In the study, the team used a new way t determine a species’ risk f disappearing: the mre a cultural grup’s language use declines, the mre that culture is threatened. The mre a culture is threatened, the mre culturally vulnerable its imprtant species are. Researchers then cmbined a species’ cultural and bilgical vulnerability t arrive at its bi-cultural status.”（在这项研究中，研究小组使用了一种新的方法来确定一个物种消失的风险：一个文化群体的语言使用下降得越多，该文化受到的威胁就越大。一种文化受到的威胁越多，其重要物种在文化上就越脆弱。然后，研究人员将一个物种的文化和生物脆弱性结合起来，得出它的生物文化状态。），可知，与以前的学习方法相比，现在的研究方法突出了人类语言的影响。故选C。
【15题详解】
观点态度题。根据文章最后一段的“This new apprach t cnservatin invlves peple that have histrically cared fr them. It can highlight when cmmunities need supprt t cntinue their care.”（这种新的保护方法涉及到历史上一直照顾它们的人。它可以突出社区何时需要支持以继续提供护理。），可知，作者赞成最新的方法。故选B。

【16题详解】
根据标题“What is a hydrpnic garden?(什么是水培花园？)”以及后文“Plants can grw indrs, year rund, in less space than traditinal sil- based gardens in it. This means if yu live in a tiny apartment r dn’t have an utdr area, yu can still grw fresh fd.(植物可以全年在室内生长，比传统的以土壤为基础的花园的空间更小。这意味着如果你住在一个小公寓里，或者没有户外区域，你仍然可以种植新鲜的食物)”可知，本句是在解释说明水培花园到底是什么：水培花园使用水而不是土壤。故D选项“水培花园使用水而不是土壤。”符合语境，故选D。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Plants need sunlight, water and nutrients t grw.(植物生长需要阳光、水和养分)”以及后文“But the basis f hydrpnics is rted in grwing the fd in nutrient-enriched water.(但水培法的基础是在营养丰富的水中种植食物)”可知，本句是在说明植物生长获取养分的条件，后文提到了水培法，故本句是在说明一般做法。故A选项“一般来说，植物从土壤中获取养分”符合语境，且与下文的But形成转折， 故选A。
【18题详解】
根据上文“A variety f different fds can be grwn in a hydrpnic garden.(在水培花园中可以种植各种不同的食物)”以及后文“Similar t what yu can grw in a backyard hanging garden, the mre ppular vegetables grwn in hydrpnics include leafy greens and lettuces(生菜) . Hwever, mre cmplex systems can prduce fruiting vegetables such as tmates, cucumbers, peppers and mre.(类似于你可以在后院的空中花园中种植的蔬菜，更受欢迎的水培蔬菜包括绿叶蔬菜和生菜。然而，更复杂的系统可以生产出结果蔬菜，如西红柿、黄瓜、辣椒等)”可知，本句主要是关于水培花园种植作物的说明，故B选项“水培花园能提供什么产品？”符合语境，故选B。
【19题详解】
根据后文“In additin t being able t grw fd withut sil and in small spaces, hydrpnic gardening can cntribute t slving scial and envirnmental issues.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国古代的手扇。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：但在古代中国，手扇几乎是驱走炎热的唯一方法。分析句子可知，were是本句的谓语，空处填非谓语动词，抽象名词way“方式，方法”后用不定式作后置定语。故填t drive。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意：中国人使用手扇已有2000多年的历史。分析句子可知，空处填介词构成介词短语，作时间状语。结合常识和句意，表示“超过，多余”用介词ver。故填ver。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意：这些扇子形状各异，材质也各不相同。分析句子可知，空处填形容词，修饰名词materials。故填varius。
【39题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：棕榈叶扇子更便宜，也更容易制作。根据空前much和并列连词and可知，空处填形容词比较级，与cheaper并列，作系动词were后的表语。故填easier。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：后来，手扇的作用远不止是给你降温。分析句子可知，空处引导定语从句并在从句中作主语，先行词smething是不定代词，关系代词用that。故填that。
【41题详解】
考查谓语动词的时态和语态。句意：圆扇的形状是满月，用丝绸制成。分析句子可知，句子缺谓语， rund fans 和make之间是被动关系，且根据后一句中的谓语had可知，时态用一般过去时，主语是复数，主谓保持一致。故填were made。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：它们有漂亮的刺绣，上面有鸟和花。分析句子可知，had是本句的谓语，空处填非谓语动词。feature“以……为特色，以……为主要组成”与embridery是主谓关系，故用现在分词作后置定语。故填featuring。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：女人，尤其是皇宫里女人，喜欢用它们。结合句意，表示“尤其”用副词especially，修饰thse in the ryal palace。故填especially。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意：这是他们展示文学、绘画和书法技能的一种方式。分析句子可知，表示泛指，名词way前填冠词，a way t d sth.表示“做某事的一种方法”。故填a。
【45题详解】
考查并列连词。句意：今天，中国人仍然使用这些扇子，尽管许多人不再在上面写字或画画。分析句子可知，空处填并列连词，并列 write和paint，否定句用r。故填r。
