第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分）
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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
First Ald Steps
To deliver the right care at the right time, you can help save a life. Follow the steps below, and make a difference.
Checking an Injured Person
1. CHECK the scene for safety, form an initial impression, obtain consent (同意), and use personal protective equipment (PPE).
2. If the person appears unresponsive, CHECK for responsiveness, breathing, life-threatening bleeding or other life-threatening conditions using shout-tap-shout.
Note: CHECK for no more than 10 seconds.
3A. If the person does not respond, responds but is not fully awake, is not breathing or is only gasping, or has life-threatening bleeding or another obvious life-threatening condition, CALL 911 and get equipment. Then, give CARE based on the condition found and your level of training and continue your check to determine if additional care is needed.
Note: For a person who is unresponsive and not breathing, start CPR and use an AED immediately.
3B. If the person is responsive or responds to stimulation and is fully awake and does not appear to have a life-threatening condition:
*Interview the person, ask questions about signs and symptoms, allergies, and medications and medical conditions.
*Do a focused check based on what the person told you, how the person is acting and what you see.
Note: Do not ask the person to move if you suspect a head, neck or spinal injury. Do not ask the person to move any area of the body that causes discomfort or pain.
4. After completing the CHECK step, CALL 911 and get equipment. Then, give CARE based on the condition found and your level of training.
Be Prepared
You can also sign up for a First Aid/CPR/AED certification course, where you’ll learn the latest techniques and earn a two-year certification in first aid from the American Red Cross.
1. What is the text most likely to be

B
We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don’t even realize it’s new. For them, it’s just normal.
This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday. I had brought a children’s book to read. It had simple words and colorful pictures — a perfect match for his age.
Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures. As I read, he reaches out and pokes (戳) the page with his finger.
What’s up with that He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and continued. He poked the page even harder. I nearly dropped the book. I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid
Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that.
Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high-tech world. It’s an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I’m not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I’ve even built websites.
There’s one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I’ve spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio. But that didn’t stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province.
Anyway, grandpa is now an internet star — two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head. But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet.
4 What do the underlined words “hit home for me” mean in paragraph 2
A. Provided shelter for me. B. Became very clear to me.
C. Took the pressure off me. D. Worked quite well on me.
5. Why did the kid poke the storybook
A. He took it for a tablet computer. B. He disliked the colorful pictures.
C. He was angry with his grandpa. D. He wanted to read it by himself.
6. What does the author think of himself
A. Socially ambitious. B. Physically attractive.
C. Financially independent. D. Digitally competent.
7. What can we learn about the author as a journalist
A. He lacks experience in his job. B. He seldom appears on television.
C. He manages a video department. D. He often interviews internet stars.
C
It is thought that music can benefit kids’ growth. Techniques for integrating (融入) music into math lessons range from clapping to pieces with different rhythms when learning numbers and fractions, to using math to design music al instruments. Previous research has shown that children who are better at music also do better at math. But whether teaching music to youngsters actually improves their math test scores has been less clear. To find out more, Turkish researcher Dr Ayea Akin, carried out a study.
She first reviewed the results of 55 studies from around the world, involving almost 78,000young people from kindergarteners to university students. Then she classified the types of musical intervention in education: standardized music interventions (typical music lessons, in which children sing and listen to, and compose music), instrumental musical interventions (lessons in which children learn how to play instruments, either individually or as part of a band) and music-math integrated interventions, in which music is integrated into math lessons. Finally, she compared students’ math test results before and after taking part in the interventions.
The result shows that the use of music, whether in separate lessons or as part of math classes, was connected with greater improvement in math over time. To be more specific, both subjects require abstract (抽象的) thought and quantitative reasoning. For example, geometry and music have much in common, such as the use of symmetry (对称). Arithmetic may lend itself particularly well to being taught through music because central concepts, such as fractions and ratios (比例), are also important to music. Integrated lessons are especially effective because they are more enjoyable than traditional math lessons and students can feel less nervous about math.
Dr Taylor Francis, an expert in education, said, “The study can give teachers a real insight into both math and music education. However, the study can be more thorough. It should include more factors such as students’ gender (性别), socio-economic status and the length of musical instruction in the study.”
8. What may be the topic of Dr Ayca Akin’s study
A. How music can be integrated into math education.
B. How math influences the design of musical instruments.
C. How music education can benefit children at an early stage.
D. How music influences students' academic performance in math.
9. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about
A. The forms of major music lessons. B. The significance of music lessons.
C The process of Dr Ayca Akin’s study. D. The differences of musical interventions.
10. Why are integrated lessons especially effective
A. They can ease students’ anxiety about math.
B. They can teach integrating math to students.
C. They can make abstract ideas easy to understand.
D. They can make students connect music to geometry.
11. What is Dr Taylor Francis’ attitude towards the study
A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Unclear.
D
“The news is ... there is no news.” With those words, outside St Mary’s Hospital in London awaiting the birth of Prince George in July 2013, my reporting for the BBC went viral on the Internet. Not for what I was saying but the way I was saying it. The helpless look. The depressed tone. Viewers could relate to me. Because they are human. And so am I.
Fedha is not human. Yes, the fair-haired woman looks human. This week she was introduced as the first presenter in Kuwait who works by artificial intelligence. “What kind of news do you prefer Let's hear your opinions,” she says in Arabic. AI newsreaders actually never make a cock-up of their jobs. They can skip the mispronunciations, the complaints over foundation colours in makeup, and even the stresses over too-weak hairspray.
To examine the problems that may come with an AI newsreader, I thought I would turn the tables and ask Genie — the chatbot powered by ChatGPT. “They may struggle with delivering the news in a way that is appealing to viewers,” Genie says. I get that. As far as delivering the news is concerned, the face and voice behind it matters.
My ChatGPT friend also tells me that there are concerns about the potential for AI newsreaders to be used to spread false information, as they may not be able to determine the correctness of a story’s source. Not just in the delivery of news, but in its content. AI is already involved in the spread of “untrue news” — and that will only get worse. At a time when trust in news providers is reducing, the next few years threaten to be very challenging if that trust is to be regained.
One of the main concerns about AI newsreaders is that they lack the human touch and emotion. I have delivered some of the biggest stories. Whether it be an air attack or the death of a major figure, it's not just the words that matter. You need to look and sound right. An AI newsreader cannot convey (传达) a reaction to a breaking story.
12. How did viewers react according to paragraph 1
A. They found the reporting confusing. B. They felt excited about the reporting.
C. They considered the author unprofessional. D. They knew the author’s thoughts and feelings.
13. What does the underlined part “make a cock-up of” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Talk about. B. Make a fool of.
C. Keep an eye on. D. Mess up.
14. What does Genie think of AI newsreaders
A. They may deliver misleading news. B. They can locate the source of a news story.
C. They interact with viewers in an improper way. D. They wear the same facial expressions as humans.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To voice his doubt about AI newsreaders. B. To share his experience of being a reporter.
C. To introduce an AI newsreader called Fedha. D. To show ChatGPT's impact on news reporting.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
At the end of the day, most of us find ourselves on the couch, eyes glued to the television or to our smartphones, doing everything we can to conserve energy. ____16____ But are we hardwired (本能的) for it
According to Michael Inzlicht, a social psychologist at the University of Toronto, we’re lazy and also, we’re not.
All humans, given equal options, will take the easy way out. Does it mean we’re lazy Maybe. ____17____ We always minimize our effort and, at the same time, maximize the amount of reward we get for that effort. A study published in the journal Neuropsychologia found that our brains may be hardwired for laziness. Even though we know the benefits of exercise, we stay glued to the couch.
____18____ We can’t know for sure whether there is an evolutionary (进化的) purpose to it. But that would make sense. After all, before we were able to go to the grocery store, calories were much more directly linked to effort. Every calorie we burned meant more hunting, fishing, or gathering.
But there are the times when humans are the opposite of lazy and do very difficult things for no apparent reason. Some rewards only come from extensive effort. ____19____ Running this far might even cause more harm than good in terms of running injuries like stress fractures, back pain and so on. But we do it anyway because putting in the effort makes us feel good, says Inzlicht. ____20____
So, in that sense, effort is worth the effort. While humans are economically aware of effort most of the time, “in some cases, the effort itself is rewarding,” says Inzlicht.
A. Think about things like running a marathon.
B. It’s not completely clear why humans behave this way.
C. It seems that we humans are gifted in the way of laziness.
D. We similarly love to space out, our brain tired of focusing.
E. But it certainly means that we’re economic with our effort.
F Some people who appear to be lazy are suffering from much more serious problems.
G. Likewise, we might get a sense of pleasure or mastery from doing a crossword puzzle.

Over the past 38 years, Mr. Wang has pretended to be someone else many times, and has even learned to ____21____ different dialects (方言), leading to him being described as an “Oscar-winning actor”.

In the 1990s, a group of thieves often sold stolen goods with the help of some beggars. To look into the ____24____, Wang disguised (伪装) himself and ____25____ the beggars. Dirty shorts and old shoes gave him the ____26____ of a real beggar and his convincing dialect soon won him the ____27____ of the beggars.
“I often ____28____ them to drink alcohol. Once they were ____29____, they began to talk a lot,” Wang said. “I’d then ____30____ myself to use the toilet, ____31____ what the beggars said, and send the ____32____ to my teammates.”
Wang, who is often in ____33____ situations, is also a judo (柔道) master. “As long as I get close enough, no criminal can ____34____ from me,” he said.

47. 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。
Isla and I were studying in the same school. We had been friends since we were six years old. I took Isla as a smart, funny friend, but not all students at our school did, especially the girl students. Girls in our school wore fashionable branded clothes, but Isla sewed hers and her curly hair and thick glasses made her look like a fish, which made her stand out like a sore thumb(招眼).
For me, sometimes I felt embarrassed to be around Isla, particularly when students said rude words about her hair, clothes, glasses—even about the fact that she got really good grades. Isla always seemed to be able to ignore what other students thought, but I couldn’t. I began to distance myself from her.
Our school had a tradition—there was a talent show every spring. Students would sing, dance, play musical instruments, and do whatever they could to show their talents. Being our graduation season in this senior school, this year’s talent show would be obviously different. It would be a huge night.
Ava, who was an outgoing girl, invited me to be on her dance team. “We win the talent show every year, and we expect a satisfactory graduation this year,” Ava said to me excitedly. “We need a new dancer. But only you, not her!” Ava pointed to someone behind me.
I didn’t need to turn around to see who she meant. “Oh, I see,” I said quietly. Ava had hardly headed out when someone tapped on my shoulder. It was Isla. When I saw her confused face, it was like waking up from a dream. Isla asked me eagerly, “Emily, are you going to take part in the talent show ” I hesitated without response. “That’s great, Emily!” Isla told me without waiting for my answer that she was also going to participate this year. I couldn’t believe what I had heard. I started to worry about her when I imagined that she was in front of a huge crowd, and that everybody would laugh at her.
Time passed quickly, and I had barely seen Isla since then. For me, I had to practice hard every day with Ava and the team to keep up since the other dancers had already known the steps.
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。
Ultimately, it was my turn to perform, and I felt extremely nervous.

【47题答案】
【答案】 Ultimately, it was my turn to perform, and I felt extremely nervous. I didn’t want to be regarded as different from the others. Isla walked to me and hugged me tightly. “Come on, Emily!” Isla encouraged me. “I believe you will do great because you are a wonderful dancer. Don’t care too much about what others think. Just trust yourself.” Soon, I took my place on the stage. I remembered every step and every move. When the music was over, the crowd burst into cheers. At that moment, I felt like a dancing queen!
I stepped off the stage and expressed my thanks to Isla, who was ready to sing. I was a little worried at the beginning because the crowd became restless. Luckily, Isla ignored it.
