A wman in a cap wanders calmly alng. Except fr the lava（熔岩） erupting behind her, she culd be walking in the park. The wman turns t watch the mlten rck flw fr a mment then walks calmly tward the camera. The ftage（镜头） is frm Werner Herzg's bk t vlcanes and vlcan hunters, Int the Infern, and the wman pictured is perhaps ne f the mst imprtant vlcanlgists f all time, Katia Krafft.
Brn in France, in 1942, Katia develped an interest in vlcanes at an early age. Later, she met Maurice Krafft. The pair bnded ver their shared lve f vlcanes befre marrying in 1970. The Kraffts wrte abut 20 bks n vlcanes acrss the glbe.
Katia and her husband made great prgress in educating the general public in vlcanlgy. Their ftage had mre than scientific value. Fr instance, when Munt Pinatub in the Philippines began t shw signs f an eruptin in 1991, the Kraffts were able t present Philippine President Cry Aquin with vide ftage f the effects f the 1985 eruptin f Nevad del Ruiz in Clmbia, asking him t call fr an evacuatin f thse in the danger zne.
In 1969, Katia was awarded the prize f the Vcatin Fundatin fr her wrk n active vlcanic sites.
The cuple lst their lives, alng with mre than 40 thers during the eruptin f Munt Unzen in Japan n June 3.1991. when they were caught in a flw f rck, gas and ash mving at speeds f ver 100 miles per hur, with temperatures f mre than 800 degrees Fahrenheit. Katia was 49; Maurice, 45.
Katia's impact n vlcanlgy has reached far beynd her death and has encuraged many yung wmen t study ur restless planet. "Katia Krafft is definitely the reasn why I'm ding this jb," says Carla Tirabschi, a pstdctral researcher at the University f Minster, Germany. Carla first saw Katia in a dcumentary when she was just six r seven years ld and has been crazy abut vlcanes ever since.
24. What can we infer frm the bk Int the Infern?
A. Its authr is Katia Krafft. B. It's a bigraphy f Katia Krafft.
C. It calls n prtecting the envirnment. D. It fcuses n vlcanes and their explrers.
25. What d we knw abut the cuple?

In ancient Maya civilizatin, caca—which chclate is made frm—wasn't just fr the elites （精英）. Traces f the sacred plant shw up in antiques frm all types f neighbrhds and in and arund a frmer Maya city, researchers reprt in the Prceedings f the Natinal Academy f Sciences. The finding suggests that, cntrary t previus thinking, caca was cnsumed at every scial level f Maya sciety.
"Nw we knw that the ceremnies with caca were likely played ut by everyne," says AnabelFrd, an archaelgist at the University f Califrnia, Santa Barbara. Caca was sacred t the ancient Maya, cnsumed in ceremnies and used as a currency. The caca tree itself was linked t Hun Hunahpu, a Mayan gd. Previus research fund caca in burials（墓地）, suggesting that its use was restricted t thse at the tp.
T explre the extent t which caca was used in brader Maya sciety, Frd and clleagues examined 54 antiques dating frm A. D. 600 t 900. The antiques cme frm jars, mixing bwls, serving plates and vases thught t be drinking vessels. All the pieces were fund in residential and ceremnial civic areas f varying size and status frm city centers, fthills, upland areas and the valley arund the frmer Maya city f El Pilar, n the present-day brder f Guatemala and Belize.
T identify caca, the researchers searched fr thephylline, a cmpund fund in trace amunts in the plant. The team fund the cmpund n mre than half f the samples, n all types f antiques and distributed thrughut scial cntexts.
Future research will mve beynd wh cnsumed caca and explre the rle f farmers in managing the critical resurce. "A better questin is t understand wh grew it," Frd says, because thse peple prbably had greater access t the valuable cmmdity.
28. What d traces f caca fund in Mayan antiques indicate?
A. Caca was nce unique t Maya sciety.
B. Caca was nly available t wealthy Mayan peple.
C. Caca was accessible t Mayan rdinary peple.

B. Mayan peple liked eating chclate very much.
C. Mayan festivals were the same as thse f the mdern times.
D. There were sme limitatins in previus research abut caca.
30. Why did Frd and his clleagues examine 54 antiques?
A. T make cpies f Mayan antiques.
B. T learn abut the Mayan eating habits.
C. T find ut caca's relatinship with the religin.
D. T knw abut Mayan scial grups f caca use.
31. Which f the fllwing will be the fcus f the research abut caca?
A. The varieties f caca. B. Ways caca was spread ut.

Debate abut artificial intelligence (AI) tends t fcus n its ptential dangers: algrithmic（算法） discriminatin, the mass destructin f jbs and even, sme say, the extinctin f humanity. As sme bservers wrry, hwever, thers are fcusing n the ptential rewards. AI culd, they claim, help humanity slve sme f its biggest and tughest prblems. And, they say, AI will d this in a very specific way: by speeding the pace f scientific discvery, especially in areas such as medicine, climate science and green technlgy.
Such claims are wrth examining, and may prvide a useful cunterbalance （抵消） t fears abut large-scale unemplyment and killer rbts. Many previus technlgies have, f curse, been falsely praised as panaceas（灵丹妙药）. The electric telegraph was praised in the 1850s as a sign f wrld peace. Experts in the 1990s said the internet wuld reduce inequality.
But the mechanism by which AI will suppsedly slve the wrld's prblems has a strnger histrical basis, because there have been several perids in histry when new appraches and new tls did indeed help bring abut bursts f wrld-changing scientific discvery and innvatin.
In the 17th century micrscpes and telescpes pened up new vistas （视野） f discveries, while the intrductin f scientific jurnals gave them new ways t share their findings. Frm the mid-20th century, cmputers in turn enabled new frms f science based n simulatin and mdelling, frm the design f weapns and aircraft t mre accurate weather frecasting.
And the cmputer revlutin may nt be finished yet. As we reprt, AI tls and techniques are nw being applied in almst every field f science, thugh the degree f adptin varies widely: 7.2%f physics and astrnmy papers published in 2022 invlved AI. AI is being emplyed in many ways. It can identify prmising candidates fr analysis, such as mlecules with particular prperties in drug discvery, r materials with the characteristics needed in batteries r slar cells.
All this is t be welcmed. But the jurnal and the labratry went further still: they altered scientific practice itself and unlcked mre pwerful means f making discveries. AI has the ptential t set ff such a transfrmatin.
32. Hw des the authr develp the first paragraph?
A. By prviding evidence. B. By listing debates abut AI.
C. By making classificatin f AI. D. By explaining a phenmenn.
33. What's the authr's attitude twards experts in the 1990s?
A. Skeptical. B. Objective. C. Disapprving. D. Favurable.
34. What des the authr want t express in Paragraph 4?
A. Scientific jurnals bring abut successful data analysis.
B. Scientific jurnals and cmputers remve peple's discriminatin.
C. Scientific discvery and innvatin have sme ptential prblems.
D. Scientific prgresses benefit frm new appraches and new tls.
35. Which f the fllwing culd be the best title fr the text?
A. Hw Al can revlutinise Science
B. Why Al Decides Human Beings' Future
C. When Human Beings N Lnger Fear Al
D. Where Al Perfrms Better in Scientific Fields

My mm was a kind wman. She had a unique perspective n helping thers that I didn't really appreciate until ne cld, winter day when we picked up my brthers at schl.
"Wh is that child?" Mm pinted at a skinny, angry-lking girl acrss the street. "She desn't even have a cat. It's freezing!" "That's Becky Ingler. She always lks mad like that," I replied. Ingler didn't have a father, and everybdy laughed at her. "I'll visit her tmrrw," she said.
The next day, we went t the Inglers. An exhausted-lking wman appeared, and Mm smiled "Hell, Mrs. Ingler. I'm just visiting sme f ur neighbrs t get acquainted" Once inside, my mther studied each f the children surrunding upset Becky, wh was reading frm a bk. She rudely ignred my nd. Gsh! A rusty cal stve and a big, messy bed.
As we left, Mm tld Mrs. Ingler she hped she wuld see her again sn.
Mm's ld sewing machine wrked fr tw days and nights t turn the shabby clthes int stylish winter cats. She remarked, "I need yur help t deliver these cats t the Inglers this afternn."
"Ww!" I said. "They're lucky t get these."
"N," said Mm as she faced me. "We're the lucky nes t be able t help them, but that's just luck. We want t make sure these cats are given freely, withut the Inglers paying a price fr them." I didn't understand, "I dn't want these cats t cst them their pride r dignity. We aren't able t help them because we are smehw better than they are."
I thught abut Becky. She had a rtten attitude, but she als had a lt f respnsibility, caring fr her siblings（兄弟姐妹） and helping her mther in bad living cnditins. The kids at schl judged her by what was utside, withut ever really seeing what was inside—a girl wh was ding her best t keep her head up while living thrugh a nightmare.
I asked mm what we shuld d if they refused the cats. My mm smiled and said, "I have a plan in mind."

29.D 推理判断题。通读前两段可知，当前的发现表明，过去，在仪式上，每个人都可以食用可可，而以前的研究表明，只有玛雅的上层社会才可以食用可可，由此可推知，以前的研究是有局限性的。
30.D 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知，Frd 和他的同事们检查54件文物是为了探究可可在玛雅社会中的使用范围。
31. C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的 Future research will…A better questin is t understand wh grew it可知，可可树的种植者会是未来关于可可的研究的重点。
D篇 本文是一篇议论文。人工智能（AI）正在以前所未有的方式塑造科学领域。从加速研究过程到提出新的研究假设，AI 的加入为科学带来了巨大的潜力。
32-35 BCDA
32.B 第一段提到关于人工智能（AI）的两个相反争论。一个是关于潜在危险上：算法歧视、大规模失业，甚至有人担心人类灭绝。然而，另一些人关注的是潜在的回报。他们称，人工智能可以帮助人类解决一些最大最棘手的问题。据此可知，作者是通过列举AI的不同的辩论的。
33. C 根据第二段第二句“Many previus technlgies have, f curse, been falsely praised as panaceas ”可知，历史上许多技术也曾被错误地誉为灵丹妙药。由此可知，“20世纪九十年代的专家称互联网将减少不平等”也是有失偏颇的，故作者对他们的态度应是不赞成的。
34.D 根据第三段后半句可知，历史上有几个时期，新方法和新工具确确实实帮助推动了世界性的科学发现和创新爆发。由此可知，在第四段，作者举例旨在表达这一论点。
35.A 根据文章大意可知，本文开始从对AI的争议开始，论述了AI已经可以使某些现有的科学流程变得更快、更高效，从而引导科学的革命。A 项“人工智能是如何改变科学研究的？”作为标题恰如其分。
七选五 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如何提高注意力。
36-40 GFAED
36. G 根据本段主旨句“Get rid f distractins”可知，本段建议移除分心的事物。G项“在此期间，请要求你一个人呆着，或者去一个别人不太可能打扰你的地方”与本段主旨吻合。
37.F 下文提到通过重新将注意力集中在其他方面。非常短暂的休息可以显著提高精神集中度。F项“研究人员发现，我们的大脑倾向于忽略持续刺激的来源”引起下文。
38.A 根据下文内容可知，当你的思想总是在过去并担心未来时，很难集中注意力。因此，A项“选择专注于当下”可作为本段主旨句。
39.E 上文提到虽然我们可能想专注于一项特定的任务，但有时我们会陷入困境，我们的大脑需要一些新鲜的东西来关注，下文提到切换任务可以帮助你在更长的时间内保持警觉和高效，E项“尝试切换到其他任务或你喜欢做的事情”承上启下。
40.D 上文提到写下你每天想要完成的事情，最好是前一天晚上，并确定你承诺要完成的单一优先事项，下文提到处理大工作，把小事留到以后再做，D项“这将有助于将你的大脑集中在重要的事情上”承上启下。
完形填空 本文是一篇记叙文。健身教练Ricky Martin成立了一个非营利性组织，为服务设施不健全的社区提供免费的个人培训。
41-45 ADBCA 46-50 CADBC 51-55 ADBAC
41. A 根据下文中的 The trainers will be paid可知， Martin要给教练付工资，由此可推知，他发起了该非营利性组织。
42. D 根据空前的prvide free persnal training 并结合选项可知，非营利性组织Fit2Give 应是为服务设施不健全的社区提供免费的个人培训。underserved 意为“服务水平低下的；服务不周到的”。

M: Gd mrning, everyne. Tday I'd like t talk abut Maslw University. The university was nt riginally a university at all. Jhn Maslw came t Melburne frm Sctland in 1822 at the age f 33. He had wrked as a math teacher befre, and when he went t Melburne, he fund that there were lts f peple wanting educatin, but nt nearly enugh peple t teach them. S he set up a teacher's cllege in 1825. The students f the cllege spent an average f tw years here befre they went ut t find wrk in primary schls and high schls being set up arund the state. Arund 3,200 students graduated frm Maslw Teachers Cllege in is first ten years f peratin. Even thugh Jhn Maslw died in 1848, the teachers cllege cntinued t run in much the same way until 1868. Arund that time, the state gvernment had plans t establish tw new universities. In 1866, Riversdale University was established n site abut 11 kilmeters nrthwest f the city center. The gvernment wanted the secnd university t be a bit clser t the city center, s they chse t change Maslw Teachers Cllege int Maslw University. That happened tw years after they pened Riversdale University . As yu knw, Maslw is in the sutheast f the city center, but it's nly 1. 5 kilmeters away. OK, that's all, Thank yu.
