第二部分 阅读理解（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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
While attractions like the Shard and the London Eye offer excellent perspectives, they’re always busy and ticket prices are steep. But with a little insider knowledge, you can save your pounds and bag your skyline photos without the crowds through accessing the following viewpoints.
Parliament Hill
London is mostly flat, but if you know where to look there are a few hills that provide natural (and free) high points offering city views with a side order of fresh air.
One of the most central is Parliament Hill on Hampstead Heath——at 98m, one of London’s highest natural viewpoints. From here, on a clear day, you can sit on the park bench that featured in movies like Run Fatboy Run and Notes on a Scandal.
Entry fee: free
The Garden Museum Tower
If you exit left out of Westminster station, battle your way over the bridge and then turn right, past the view of Big Ben and walk along the south side of the Thames, you’ll come to a medieval (中 世纪的) church.
While you might be interested in British garden design, it’s the 14th-Century tower that’s the main attraction for photographers. Climb the 131 steps of the narrow spiral staircase and you’ll emerge onto one of the finest riverside viewpoints in the city——with views across to the Palace of Westminster on the right.
Entry fee: Adult f16, or Tower only 4
The IFS Cloud Cable Car
If you want to soar over London in a glass pod, the obvious place to go is the London Eye. But a cheaper and crowd-free alternative is to ride the IFS Cloud Cable Car.
The views are impressive at any time, but the Cable Car stays open late, so you can even enjoy magnificent sunsets from the west——facing side or admire the twinkling city lights after dark.
Entry fee: E6 one-way
Seabird, Southwark
London has no shortage of rooftop venues (场所) offering knockout cityscape views, so it can be hard to pick just one or two. But for location, angles and a great experience, it doesn’t get much better than Seabird, on the 14th floor of the Hoxton hotel in Southwark with nothing to block views on three sides.
Entry fee: Buy a drink: draught beer costs 6.50 or small glass of wine is 9; a portion of olives costs 5.
1. Where can you go if you want to photograph the 14th-Century tower
A. The London Eye.
B. The south side of the Thames.
C. The rooftop venues.
D. A place near St Paul’s Cathedral.
2. In which viewpoint can you just buy a drink and enjoy free city views
A. Parliament Hill.
B. The Garden Museum Tower.
C. The IFS Cloud Cable Car.
D. Seabird, Southwark.
3. What do the 4 viewpoints have in common
A. They are free.
B. They are well-known.
C. They are not crowded.
D. They are not cheap.
【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了几处省钱又不拥挤的景点。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据“The Garden Museum Tower”部分的句子“If you exit left out of Westminster station, battle your way over the bridge and then turn right, past the view of Big Ben and walk along the south side of the Thames, you’ll come to a medieval (中 世纪的) church. While you might be interested in British garden design, it’s the 14th-Century tower that’s the main attraction for photographers.”（如果你从西敏寺车站左出口，过了桥，然后右转，经过大本钟，沿着泰晤士河南岸走，你就会来到一座中世纪的教堂。虽然你可能对英国花园设计感兴趣，但对摄影师来说，这座14世纪的塔楼才是最吸引人的地方）可知，从泰晤士河南岸，可以拍摄这座14世纪的塔楼。故选B项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Seabird, Southwark”部分的句子“Entry fee: Buy a drink: draught beer costs 6.50 or small glass of wine is 9; a portion of olives costs 5.”（入场费：购买饮料：生啤酒6.5英镑，小杯葡萄酒9英镑；一份橄榄售价5英镑）可知，进入Seabird, Southwark的入场费是买一杯饮料。故选D项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的句子“But with a little insider knowledge, you can save your pounds and bag your skyline photos without the crowds through accessing the following viewpoints.”（但只要掌握一些内幕知识，你就可以在以下没有人群的景点拍足够多的照片）可知，这几处景点的共同之处在于它们都不拥挤。故选C项。
B
In casual conversations, there is a seemingly simple question I can never answer without hesitating — “Where are you from ”
I could say I am from Thailand, where I was born. Or I am from Mexico, where I spent the majority of my childhood. Or I am from the US, whose language is rooted into my life. In my mind, none of these answers are satisfying enough. After all, to be from somewhere carries expectations of understanding “your” culture and “your” home.
I feel envious whenever my friends say they’re “going home” for school breaks. As a student who frequently moves, I have never seen my living space as “home”, but “shelter”, another location to stay in before I unavoidably move again.
So, does this mean I do not have, and will never have, a home I resign myself to living with this sense of sadness, until very recently.
In my dorm, inside my drawer is a specially designed white bath towel that I have not used since I brought it with me from my parents’ house. One day, I took it out, but stopped after smelling the soft, sweet laundry detergent (洗衣粉), the one my parents used back in Thailand. I felt my eyes water as that random smell brought my mixed emotions to the surface: sadness and nostalgia, a strong feeling of missing home. I still avoid using that towel until now because I don’t want to replace the smell of nostalgia with my newly-bought detergent.
Sadly, even with this new discovery, I will still struggle when answering where I am from, and I will always feel a sense of loss in not having a physical home to “go back to”. Yet, in random moments, when a smell catches me off guard (让我猝不及防) with the memories it brings, I like to believe that the things I feel then are things people feel when they are home. And if these moments can make me smile, even with a sense of loss, what better home can I ask for
4. Why is the author unable to see his living space as “home”
A. His living places often change. B. He is unsatisfied with the place.
C. His expectations of “home” are high. D. He can’t understand the culture there.
5. Why does the author treasure that towel
A. It was made in his hometown. B. It is a present from his parents.
C. Its smell awakened his memories. D. Its design wins his preference.
6. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph
A. He no longer feels a sense of loss.
B. He feels a physical home is unnecessary.
C. He has got the answer to “Where are you from ”
D. He has found a sense of home in some moments.
7. What can be the best title of the text
A. A Man’s Home Is His Castle B. There Is No Place Like Home
C. The Smell Brings Me Home D. The Emotion Connects Me With Home
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者是一个经常搬家的人，所以一直以来对家的概念很模糊，一次偶然，他拿起一条浴巾，上面的味道使作者想起了过往，使他突然在某一瞬间产生了“家”的感觉。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段末句“As a student who frequently moves, I have never seen my living space as “home”, but “shelter”, another location to stay in before I unavoidably move again. (作为一个经常搬家的学生，我从来没有把我的生活空间看作是“家”，而是“庇护所”，在我不可避免地再次搬家之前，我可以呆在另一个地方)”可知，作者经常搬家是他不把住的地方当“家”的主要原因。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段第二三句“One day, I took it out, but stopped after smelling the soft, sweet laundry detergent(洗衣粉), the one my parents used back in Thailand. I felt my eyes water as that random smell brought my mixed emotions to the surface: sadness and nostalgia, a strong feeling of missing home.(有一天，我把它拿出来，但在闻到了柔软、甜美的洗衣粉后就停了下来，我父母在泰国用的就是这种洗衣粉。我觉得我的眼睛湿润了，因为那随意的气味把我复杂的情绪带到了表面：悲伤和怀旧，一种强烈的思念家的感觉)”可知，浴巾上面的味道使作者想起了过往。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“Yet, in random moments, when a smell catches me off guard (让我猝不及防) with the memories it brings, I like to believe that the things I feel then are things people feel when they are home. (然而，在偶然的时刻，当一种气味带着它带来的记忆让我猝不及防时，我愿意相信我当时的感觉就是人们在家时的感觉)”可知，现在在某些瞬间，一些熟悉的味道使作者想起了被他认为是有关“家”的感觉。故选D。
【7题详解】
标题判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段第二句“Yet, in random moments, when a smell catches me off guard (让我猝不及防) with the memories it brings, I like to believe that the things I feel then are things people feel when they are home.(然而，在偶然的时刻，当一种气味带着它带来的记忆让我猝不及防时，我愿意相信我当时的感觉就是人们在家时的感觉)”可知，作者是一个经常搬家的人，所以一直以来对家的概念很模糊。一次偶然的机会，作者拿起一条浴巾，上面的味道使作者想起了过往，使他突然在某一瞬间产生了“家”的感觉。由此可知，The Smell Brings Me Home(气味把我带回家)适合作本文最佳标题。故选C。
C
When the company OpenAI developed its new artificial intelligence (AI) program, ChatGPT, in late 2022, educators began to worry. ChatGPT could create text that seemed like a human wrote it. How could teachers discover whether students were using language created by an AI chatbot to cheat on a writing task
As a linguist who studies the effects of technology on how people read, write and think, I believe there are other more pressing concerns besides cheating. These include whether AI, more generally, threatens student writing skills, the value of writing as a process, and the importance of regarding writing as a tool for thinking.
As part of my research on the effects of AI on human writing, I surveyed young adults in the U.S. about some issues related to those effects. One participant said that at some point if you depend on predictive text, you’re going to lose your spelling abilities. Enter “Was Rom” into a Google search and you’re given a list of choices like “Was Rome built in a day”. Type “ple” into a text message and you’re offered “please” and “plenty”. These tools complete our sentences automatically, giving us little chance to think about our spelling, and continuously asking us to follow their suggestions.
Evan Selinger, a philosopher, worried that predictive texting reduces the power of writing as a form of mental activity and personal expression. “By encouraging us not to think too deeply about our words, predictive technology may change how we deal with each other,” Selinger wrote. “We give others more algorithms (算法) and less of ourselves. Automation can stop us thinking and the resulting text didn’t feel like mine anymore.”
I asked ChatGPT whether it was a threat to humans’ motivation to write. The bot responded: “There will always be a demand for creative, original content that requires the unique viewpoint of a human writer.” It continued: “Writing serves many purposes beyond just the creation of content, such as self-expression, communication, and personal growth, which can continue to encourage people to write even if certain types of writing can be automated.”
I was glad to find the program had seemingly admitted its limitations.
8. What is the author’s main concern about ChatGPT
A. Whether it will lead to students’ cheating.
B. Whether it will shape students’ writing style.
C. How students will make use of it at school.
D. What effects it will have on students’ writing.
9. What will predictive technology do to us according to Evan Selinger
A. Give us more creative ideas. B. Make us write like a machine.
C. Encourage us to think more deeply. D. Make us tend to ignore grammatical mistakes.
10 What can we learn from ChatGPT’s response
A. Writing will become completely automated. B. Robots will work with humans in writing.
C. Robot writing will become more creative. D. Human writing will still matter a lot.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. What impact will AI bring to writing B. What is the future of modern literature
C. How to improve writing with AI’s help D. How to apply AI technology to education
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“人工智能给写作带来什么影响——ChatGPT如何剥夺学生自主写作和思考的动力”。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“These include whether AI, more generally, threatens student writing skills, the value of writing as a process, and the importance of regarding writing as a tool for thinking.(这些问题包括，更普遍地说，人工智能是否威胁到学生的写作技能，写作作为一个过程的价值，以及将写作视为思维工具的重要性)”可知，作者比较关心人工智能会给学生的写作带来的影响。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根文章第三段“Evan Selinger, a philosopher, worried that predictive texting reduces the power of writing as a form of mental activity and personal expression.“By encouraging us not to think too deeply about our words, predictive technology may change how we deal with each other,” Selinger wrote. ”(哲学家Evan Selinger担心，预测性短信会削弱写作作为一种心理活动和个人表达形式的力量。“通过鼓励我们不要太深入地思考自己的言语，预测技术可能会改变我们处理彼此的方式，”Selinger写道)”可知，预测性的写作会削弱人类自我思考，只是像一个机器一样写作。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“There will always be a demand for creative, original content that requires the unique viewpoint of a human writer.(对创造性、原创内容的需求总是需要人类作家的独特观点)”可知，创造性和原创性的内容还是需要人类作家的输出。由此可以推测，人类作家对于写作来说任然具有重要性。由此推知，人类写作仍然非常重要。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“ChatGPT could create text that seemed like a human wrote it. How could teachers discover whether students were using language created by an AI chatbot to cheat on a writing task (ChatGPT可以创建看起来像是人类写的文本。教师如何发现学生是否使用人工智能聊天机器人创建的语言在写作任务中作弊？)”可知，本主要介绍ChatGPT对于写作产生的影响。由此可知，A项“人工智能将给写作带来什么影响？”适合作本文最佳标题。故选A。
D
Durham, 26 years old, is one of many social-media career influencers who have risen to fame by sharing tips about work with a casual, accessible tone. Regardless of their locations, these content creators often adopt a similar style: Filming themselves talking to the camera about topics such as how to stand out in the interviews, negotiate salaries, handle performance reviews and communicate with managers.
While career coaching is not a new industry, experts say social media provides a new way to deliver this information that’s particularly appealing to young workers right now. Mary Chayko, a professor at Rutgers University, says seeking advice on social media feels more convenient and efficient to young people.
Even if influencers lack their own extended professional tenure (终身职位), and often don’t hold coaching certificates, experts say they have qualities that make followers trust them. Their transparency (透明性) makes them feel largely accessible and easy-going. Their casual style appeals to audiences, because it offers glimpses into who they are as people. “Not being too polished in the way that you present yourself is another indicator that you are somebody who can be trusted,” Chayko says.
While social media advice can be motivating, it has its limitat ons. Videos on Instagram and TikTok tend to be fairly broad, relying on generalizations about culture and human behavior that may not apply to a person’s individual situation. Moreover, many of the decision-makers in the workforce belong to older generations, meaning that young workers ability to understand the values of these leaders will also be important. Relying solely on younger coaches could narrow their knowledge scope (范围).
Yet for young workers, following career influencers may be as much enterpris ng as it is practical. Influencers demonstrate an idealized work persona (职场人士形象), conveying a sense of control and confidence that many people long for in their professional lives.
12. Why is Emily Durham mentioned in the beginning
A. To present a fact. B. To describe a scene.
C. To explain a concept. D. To introduce the topic.
13. What does Mary Chayko tell us in paragraph 2
A. The young are eager for new careers.
B. The young enjoy spreading information.
C. The young tend to ask for advice online.
D. The young are addicted to social media.
14. Why can career influencers appeal to their followers
A. They possess some coaching certificates.
B. They own extended professional tenure.
C. They give the public polished appearance.
D. They try to be seemingly worthy of trust.
15. What does paragraph 4 focus on concerning social media career advice
A. Its benefits. B. Its shortcomings. C. Its features. D. Its functions.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了社交媒体职业影响者如何通过分享工作技巧而走红，他们的风格通俗易懂，吸引了大量年轻工作者的关注。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Durham, 26 years old, is one of many social-media career influencers who…how to stand out in the interviews, negotiate salaries, handle performance reviews and communicate with managers.(26岁的达勒姆是许多在社交媒体上影响职业的人之一，他们以一种随意、平易近人的语气分享工作心得，从而成名。不管他们在哪里工作，这些内容创作者通常都采用类似的风格：拍摄自己对着镜头谈论的话题，比如如何在面试中脱颖而出、谈判薪水、处理绩效评估以及与经理沟通。)”可知，文章开头提到Emily Durham是为了引出主题——社交媒体职业影响者。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Mary Chayko, a professor at Rutgers University, says seeking advice on social media feels more convenient and efficient to young people.(罗格斯大学(Rutgers University)教授玛丽·查伊科(Mary Chayko)表示，对年轻人来说，在社交媒体上寻求建议更方便、更有效。)”可知，Mary Chayko在第二段告诉我们年轻人倾向于在网上寻求建议。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Their casual style appeals to audiences, because it offers glimpses into who they are as people. “Not being too polished in the way that you present yourself is another indicator that you are somebody who can be trusted,” Chayko says.( 他们的休闲风格吸引了观众，因为这让他们得以一窥自己的为人。“在展示自己的方式上不太讲究是另一个标志，表明你是一个值得信任的人，”查伊科说。)”可知，职业网红吸引着他们的粉丝，因为他们试图看起来值得信任。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“While social media advice can be motivating, it has its limitations.(虽然社交媒体的建议可以激励人，但它也有其局限性。)”可知，第四段侧重于关于社交媒体的职业建议的缺点。故选C。

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
“Beauty is only skin deep” it is said. This means that a person’s appearance is not as important as their character. Yet it is strange why people and especially women are willing to spend a fortune on making themselves more attractive physically. ___16___ The reason can only be one, and it is that beauty has its advantages.
Attractive people are more popular generally. Beauty draws a positive response from the people around. This is obvious with children. For example, based on observation, there is a tendency for adults to treat good-looking children better. This favorable treatment continues into adulthood, as attractive people are more likely to be chosen for leadership positions and given more opportunities.___17___
Another important benefit that good-looking people enjoy is that they find a husband or wife more easily. ___18___ This initial attraction may then develop into romantic feelings and a serious relationship if the couple find that they are compatible (和睦相处的) with each other.
On the other hand, beauty has a number of disadvantages as well. Firstly, a good-looking person tends to attract unwanted attention from all kinds of people. The admirer may have bad intentions and cause problems for the target. ___19___ It is thought that beauty and brains do not go together. Thus, attractive people may not gain respect even when they deserve it because of this prejudice against them.
While every individual should take care of their outward appearance and look their best, they should not neglect (忽视) their inner beauty or character. ___20___ Also, they should not forget physical beauty is indeed, only skin deep and will not last.
A. Life is not always easy for beautiful people.
B. The skincare industry is a multi-billion dollar business.
C. It turns out being conventionally beautiful has its benefits.
D. It is a fact that people are first attracted to outward appearance.
E. They should not place such importance on beauty that they become proud.
F. Being well-treated gives attractive people more confidence and they perform better.
G. Another problem faced by good-looking people is that they may not be taken seriously.
【答案】16. B 17. F 18. D 19. G 20. E

【20题详解】
上文“While every individual should take care of their outward appearance and look their best, they should not neglect (忽视) their inner beauty or character.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章简要介绍了中国广西柳州的一道特色美食——螺蛳粉。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：因为柳州是一个到处都是螺蛳粉餐馆的城市，许多餐馆彼此相邻，你走在街上都能闻到它的味道！分析句子，句中can smell为谓语动词，设空处使用非谓语动词，you和walk之间是主动关系，故使用现在分词，作状语。故填walking。
【37题详解】
考查名词所有格。句意：由于柳州气候潮湿，人们容易失去食欲，但酸辣的味道却能刺激人们的食欲。根据句意，此处表示所属关系，即表示“人们的”，故使用名词所有格形式people’s。故填people’s.
【38题详解】
考查名词性从句。句意：其独特的鲜、酸、辣、辣的口感是现代人和年轻人的最爱。分析句子，设空处引导表语从句，引导词在从句中作prefer的宾语，意为“什么”，故使用what引导。故填what。

考查非谓语动词。句意：食客还可以根据自己的口味，额外添加辣椒、新鲜绿色蔬菜或大蒜。分析句子，句中can add谓语动词，设空处使用非谓语动词，此处表示发出该动作的目的，故使用不定式，作状语。故填to suit。
【40题详解】
考查动词语态。句意：尽管蜗牛的中文名字中有“蜗牛”一词，但蜗牛通常不会出现在这道菜中，而是用来给汤调味的。分析句子，句中but连词表示设空处使用动词作谓语，同时，句中don’t appear表示句子使用的是一般现在时，且snails与use之间是被动关系，故使用一般现在时的被动语态，主语是复数，be动词使用are。故填are used。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：现在包装好的螺蛳粉有很多选择，人们可以很容易地在家里制作自己喜欢的螺蛳粉。分析句子，句中can prepare为谓语动词，设空处使用非谓语动词，package与Luosifen之间是被动关系，故使用过去分词packaged作定语，意为“被包装的”。故填packaged。
【42题详解】
考查反身代词。句意：有些人甚至自己做螺蛳粉火锅。此处表示“人们自己做螺蛳粉火锅”，故使用they的反身代词themselves。故填themselves。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意：诚然，螺蛳粉已经成为那些追求正宗美食爱好者们必尝的一道菜。分析句子，句中dish为可数名词，设空处应该使用冠词，此处表示泛指，同时must-try首字母为辅音音素，应用a。故填a。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意：无论你是在柳州的街头探索，还是在远方享用一碗，螺蛳粉都会给你的味蕾留下深刻印象，提供真正难忘的美食体验。分析句子，句中whether…or…为固定短语，意为“无论……还是……”，故使用连词or将前后的现在分词进行连接。故填or。

Living in the shadow of my two elder sisters at college who already had their lives planned out since they were little, I was always undecided about everything. As a teenager, I was fickle (反复无常的). I would like one thing for a week and then hate it the next. But I was constantly searching for the beginning of the rainbow. Changing my dream from a vet to an astronaut, I thought there were various options available to me. However, my parents would shake their heads and repeatedly asked me such questions as, “Why can’t you be more like your sisters What are you going to do with your life Aren’t you interested in anything at all ” After a couple of shrugs (耸肩), my parents usually stopped talking. I was not sure if they gave up or anticipated my dull reactions. I often responded, “I couldn’t answer all of your questions now.”
Actually, my parents just had high expectations that never seemed to be fulfilled. Plus, like other parents, they just wanted to give the best to me and expected me to achieve success. The arguments with my parents seemed childish. One day, my mother made her thoughts clear, “Your grades aren’t high enough. No schools are going to want you, dear. We didn’t pay so much money for nothing.” Hesitating for a while, I said, “No matter what you say, I believe I will enter a good college.” Still, I let my emotions control myself.
Certainly, I had never planned not to go to college. After another debate with my mom, I decided to make a change. No longer would I sit back and let my parents mistake me for a bad boy. It was time to take action.
I knew it was a crucial year at high school. Releasing my feelings, I began to collect all the knowledge I had learned and review it with all my heart. I didn’t argue with my parents any more, but instead turned to my sisters for help and tried my best to study. Finally, I took the national college entrance examination with ease and confidence.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】A few days later, I received a call from my school, saying my college acceptance letter had arrived. Then I hurried to the school with my parents. It was beyond my wildest dream till that moment. As a matter of fact, I doubted then whether I was in the dream. I normally dreaded the long walk to the school. But that day was different. There seemed to be something in the air, an electric current, connecting my body to the letter. When I got it, I was really afraid that the envelop was empty. But there was a white package inside. With my heart beating faster, I wondered whether it could really be what was expected.
My parents excitedly said behind me, “Well, open the envelop!” What I grabbed in my hands contained everything I had been waiting for. Slowly, I opened it and a flash of CONGRATULATIONS in bold bright letters caught my eyes. A feeling of happiness and relief rushed through my body. I was holding my first offer from a good college. Needless to say, it wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for the countless hours of studying and writing, but most importantly, my parents’ constant reminders, in fact, were the best form of education for me. “Thank you, Mom and Dad!” I said gratefully.

A
While attractions like the Shard and the London Eye offer excellent perspectives, they’re always busy and ticket prices are steep. But with a little insider knowledge, you can save your pounds and bag your skyline photos without the crowds through accessing the following viewpoints.
Parliament Hill
London is mostly flat, but if you know where to look there are a few hills that provide natural (and free) high points offering city views with a side order of fresh air.
One of the most central is Parliament Hill on Hampstead Heath——at 98m, one of London’s highest natural viewpoints. From here, on a clear day, you can sit on the park bench that featured in movies like Run Fatboy Run and Notes on a Scandal.
Entry fee: free
The Garden Museum Tower
If you exit left out of Westminster station, battle your way over the bridge and then turn right, past the view of Big Ben and walk along the south side of the Thames, you’ll come to a medieval (中 世纪的) church.
While you might be interested in British garden design, it’s the 14th-Century tower that’s the main attraction for photographers. Climb the 131 steps of the narrow spiral staircase and you’ll emerge onto one of the finest riverside viewpoints in the city——with views across to the Palace of Westminster on the right.
Entry fee: Adult f16, or Tower only 4
The IFS Cloud Cable Car
If you want to soar over London in a glass pod, the obvious place to go is the London Eye. But a cheaper and crowd-free alternative is to ride the IFS Cloud Cable Car.
The views are impressive at any time, but the Cable Car stays open late, so you can even enjoy magnificent sunsets from the west——facing side or admire the twinkling city lights after dark.
Entry fee: E6 one-way
Seabird, Southwark
London has no shortage of rooftop venues (场所) offering knockout cityscape views, so it can be hard to pick just one or two. But for location, angles and a great experience, it doesn’t get much better than Seabird, on the 14th floor of the Hoxton hotel in Southwark with nothing to block views on three sides.
Entry fee: Buy a drink: draught beer costs 6.50 or small glass of wine is 9; a portion of olives costs 5.
1. Where can you go if you want to photograph the 14th-Century tower
A The London Eye.
B. The south side of the Thames.
C. The rooftop venues.
D. A place near St Paul’s Cathedral.
2. In which viewpoint can you just buy a drink and enjoy free city views
A. Parliament Hill.
B. The Garden Museum Tower.
C. The IFS Cloud Cable Car.
D. Seabird, Southwark.
3. What do the 4 viewpoints have in common
A. They are free.
B. They are well-known.
C. They are not crowded.
D. They are not cheap.
B
In casual conversations, there is a seemingly simple question I can never answer without hesitating — “Where are you from ”
I could say I am from Thailand, where I was born. Or I am from Mexico, where I spent the majority of my childhood. Or I am from the US, whose language is rooted into my life. In my mind, none of these answers are satisfying enough. After all, to be from somewhere carries expectations of understanding “your” culture and “your” home.
I feel envious whenever my friends say they’re “going home” for school breaks. As a student who frequently moves, I have never seen my living space as “home”, but “shelter”, another location to stay in before I unavoidably move again.
So, does this mean I do not have, and will never have, a home I resign myself to living with this sense of sadness, until very recently.
In my dorm, inside my drawer is a specially designed white bath towel that I have not used since I brought it with me from my parents’ house. One day, I took it out, but stopped after smelling the soft, sweet laundry detergent (洗衣粉), the one my parents used back in Thailand. I felt my eyes water as that random smell brought my mixed emotions to the surface: sadness and nostalgia, a strong feeling of missing home. I still avoid using that towel until now because I don’t want to replace the smell of nostalgia with my newly-bought detergent.
Sadly, even with this new discovery, I will still struggle when answering where I am from, and I will always feel a sense of loss in not having a physical home to “go back to”. Yet, in random moments, when a smell catches me off guard (让我猝不及防) with the memories it brings, I like to believe that the things I feel then are things people feel when they are home. And if these moments can make me smile, even with a sense of loss, what better home can I ask for
4. Why is the author unable to see his living space as “home”
A. His living places often change. B. He is unsatisfied with the place.
C. His expectations of “home” are high. D. He can’t understand the culture there.
5. Why does the author treasure that towel
A. It was made in his hometown. B. It is a present from his parents.
C. Its smell awakened his memories. D. Its design wins his preference.
6. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph
A. He no longer feels a sense of loss.
B. He feels a physical home is unnecessary.
C. He has got the answer to “Where are you from ”
D. He has found a sense of home in some moments.
7. What can be the best title of the text
A. A Man’s Home Is His Castle B. There Is No Place Like Home
C. The Smell Brings Me Home D. The Emotion Connects Me With Home
C
When the company OpenAI developed its new artificial intelligence (AI) program, ChatGPT, in late 2022, educators began to worry. ChatGPT could create text that seemed like a human wrote it. How could teachers discover whether students were using language created by an AI chatbot to cheat on a writing task
As a linguist who studies the effects of technology on how people read, write and think, I believe there are other more pressing concerns besides cheating. These include whether AI, more generally, threatens student writing skills, the value of writing as a process, and the importance of regarding writing as a tool for thinking.
As part of my research on the effects of AI on human writing, I surveyed young adults in the U.S. about some issues related to those effects. One participant said that at some point if you depend on predictive text, you’re going to lose your spelling abilities. Enter “Was Rom” into a Google search and you’re given a list of choices like “Was Rome built in a day”. Type “ple” into a text message and you’re offered “please” and “plenty”. These tools complete our sentences automatically, giving us little chance to think about our spelling, and continuously asking us to follow their suggestions.
Evan Selinger, a philosopher, worried that predictive texting reduces the power of writing as a form of mental activity and personal expression. “By encouraging us not to think too deeply about our words, predictive technology may change how we deal with each other,” Selinger wrote. “We give others more algorithms (算法) and less of ourselves. Automation can stop us thinking and the resulting text didn’t feel like mine anymore.”
I asked ChatGPT whether it was a threat to humans’ motivation to write. The bot responded: “There will always be a demand for creative, original content that requires the unique viewpoint of a human writer.” It continued: “Writing serves many purposes beyond just the creation of content, such as self-expression, communication, and personal growth, which can continue to encourage people to write even if certain types of writing can be automated.”
I was glad to find the program had seemingly admitted its limitations.

Durham, 26 years old, is one of many social-media career influencers who have risen to fame by sharing tips about work with a casual, accessible tone. Regardless of their locations, these content creators often adopt a similar style: Filming themselves talking to the camera about topics such as how to stand out in the interviews, negotiate salaries, handle performance reviews and communicate with managers.
While career coaching is not a new industry, experts say social media provides a new way to deliver this information that’s particularly appealing to young workers right now. Mary Chayko, a professor at Rutgers University, says seeking advice on social media feels more convenient and efficient to young people.
Even if influencers lack their own extended professional tenure (终身职位), and often don’t hold coaching certificates, experts say they have qualities that make followers trust them. Their transparency (透明性) makes them feel largely accessible and easy-going. Their casual style appeals to audiences, because it offers glimpses into who they are as people. “Not being too polished in the way that you present yourself is another indicator that you are somebody who can be trusted,” Chayko says.
While social media advice can be motivating, it has its limitat ons. Videos on Instagram and TikTok tend to be fairly broad, relying on generalizations about culture and human behavior that may not apply to a person’s individual situation. Moreover, many of the decision-makers in the workforce belong to older generations, meaning that young workers ability to understand the values of these leaders will also be important. Relying solely on younger coaches could narrow their knowledge scope (范围).
Yet for young workers, following career influencers may be as much enterpris ng as it is practical. Influencers demonstrate an idealized work persona (职场人士形象), conveying a sense of control and confidence that many people long for in their professional lives.
12. Why is Emily Durham mentioned in the beginning
A. To present a fact. B. To describe a scene.
C. To explain a concept. D. To introduce the topic.
13. What does Mary Chayko tell us in paragraph 2
A. The young are eager for new careers.
B. The young enjoy spreading information.
C. The young tend to ask for advice online.
D. The young are addicted to social media.
14. Why can career influencers appeal to their followers
A. They possess some coaching certificates.
B. They own extended professional tenure.
C. They give the public polished appearance.
D. They try to be seemingly worthy of trust.
15. What does paragraph 4 focus on concerning social media career advice
A. Its benefits. B. Its shortcomings. C. Its features. D. Its functions.

Thus, attractive people may not gain respect even when they deserve it because of this prejudice against them.

Living in the shadow of my two elder sisters at college who already had their lives planned out since they were little, I was always undecided about everything. As a teenager, I was fickle (反复无常的). I would like one thing for a week and then hate it the next. But I was constantly searching for the beginning of the rainbow. Changing my dream from a vet to an astronaut, I thought there were various options available to me. However, my parents would shake their heads and repeatedly asked me such questions as, “Why can’t you be more like your sisters What are you going to do with your life Aren’t you interested in anything at all ” After a couple of shrugs (耸肩), my parents usually stopped talking. I was not sure if they gave up or anticipated my dull reactions. I often responded, “I couldn’t answer all of your questions now.”
Actually, my parents just had high expectations that never seemed to be fulfilled. Plus, like other parents, they just wanted to give the best to me and expected me to achieve success. The arguments with my parents seemed childish. One day, my mother made her thoughts clear, “Your grades aren’t high enough. No schools are going to want you, dear. We didn’t pay so much money for nothing.” Hesitating for a while, I said, “No matter what you say, I believe I will enter a good college.” Still, I let my emotions control myself.
Certainly, I had never planned not to go to college. After another debate with my mom, I decided to make a change. No longer would I sit back and let my parents mistake me for a bad boy. It was time to take action.
I knew it was a crucial year at high school. Releasing my feelings, I began to collect all the knowledge I had learned and review it with all my heart. I didn’t argue with my parents any more, but instead turned to my sisters for help and tried my best to study. Finally, I took the national college entrance examination with ease and confidence.
