Betty Sandison was having lunch with some friends when the subject of wish lists came up. Although she had spent more than 30 years working as a registered nurse, Betty told her friends that she regretted never finishing the bachelor’s degree she’d started more than 67 years earlier.
Betty was the first person in her family to pursue higher education. With a dream of becoming a nurse, Betty enrolled at the University of Minnesota. But when she was just 25 credits short of getting her degree, for some reason, Betty dropped out of school and soon got married. Her career was put on hold as the couple moved around for her husband’s job, spending time living in different places.
Many years later, Betty returned to community college to become a registered nurse. She worked as a nurse for more than 30 years before retiring in 2013.
But in 2018, she still felt regretful over her unfinished degree. Encouraged by her friends, Betty decided to return to university to complete her bachelor’s degree. She chose to live in the dormitory and got on well with her roommates. She enrolled in classes and started working on those last 25 credits. However, she was discouraged by the new technology used when taking online courses during the coronavirus pandemic. Even so, Betty persevered.
At age 84, Betty got her bachelor’s degree in Multidisciplinary Studies from the College of Continuing and Professional Studies. She described the accomplishment as “pure joy, pure satisfaction”. Betty may even audit (旁听) college classes now that her degree is complete. She is not sure what’s next, but there’s one thing she does know: Life’s too short to live with regrets!
24．Why didn’t Betty get her bachelor’s degree
A．Because she decided to marry her beloved one.
B．Because she didn’t achieve the required credits.
C．Because she dropped out of school to work as a nurse.
D．Because she volunteered to fight the coronavirus pandemic.
25．What made Betty less confident during her pursuit of her bachelor’s degree
A．The difficult courses. B．The new technology.
C．The coronavirus pandemic. D．The interpersonal relationship.
26．Which of the following can best describe Betty
A．Accomplished and friendly. B．Popular and caring.
C．Determined and hard-working. D．Ambitious and responsible.
27．What message does this passage convey
A．Genius is nothing but labor and diligence.
B．Not matter of the today will drag tomorrow.
C．Be the change you want to see in the world.
D．It is never too late to cross items off the wish list.
C
People are flying more than ever. From short trips to traveling around the globe, many are on the move. But finding the way at the airports has never been easy in the US, due to crowding and a lot of tasks like checking in, taking care of baggage, screening and finding your gate. It is often difficult to get to where you are going. If you are in a wheelchair or visually (视觉地) challenged, it’s even harder.
The new terminal (航站楼) at the Kansas City International Airport is designed to fix many of these shortcomings. The new facility features indoor play areas, changing rooms, and a quiet room for people who cannot handle the noise or activity of a busy airport. There is even a pet relief area for people traveling with their fury family members. One innovation (创新) is the glass-walled jet bridge for people who are worried about getting on and off planes. And for people who are uncomfortable with the whole airport and flying process, there are simulators (模拟器) that allow travelers to go from boarding to taking off virtually.
Justin Meyer, with the Kansas City Aviation Department, said the new terminal sets a level of inclusivity that passengers will expect in other airports. “The goal isn’t that we’re forever at the head of the line,” Meyer said. “My goal was just to raise the bar, so if someone else wants to build the most accessible airport in the world, they’re going to have to start from where Kansas City stopped. In the end, passengers win.”
While making airports more accessible to people with different abilities may seem to be expensive or difficult, the benefits certainly outweigh the costs. Accessible airports mean that more people and their families will be able to travel and then the skies will be friendly to all.
28. What is the function of paragraph 1
A. To call on airports to improve their services.
B. To explain the background to the new terminal.
C. To stress the annoyance of frequent air travelers.
D. To show the complexity of boarding procedures.
29. Who are most likely to use the glass-walled jet bridge
A. People who take a pet.
B. People who use a wheelchair.
C. People who travel with their families.
D. People who have flight anxiety.
30. What can we know about the new terminal according to Justin Meyer
A. It needs further improvement.
B. It has the best passenger services.
C. It sets a higher standard for airport services.
D. It aims to lead the world in accessibility.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards the Kansas City International Airport’s practice
A. Supportive. B. Conservative.
C. Unprejudiced. D. Doubtful.
D
Jennifer DeStefano answered a call from an unknown number only to hear a man threatening her 15-year-old daughter’s life and demanding money, as well as the sound of her daughter crying for help. But while she kept him on the phone, her friends managed to reach her daughter, discovering that she was, in fact, free and well on a skiing trip in Arizona. The voice used on the phone was cloned.
A brief sample (样本) of a voice can be used to train an AI model, which can then speak any given text sounding like that person. Now the dangers are starting to be talked aloud.
ElevenLabs, an AI start-up, offers users the chance to create their own clones in minutes and the results are disturbingly accurate. When generating a playback, the system allows users to choose between variability and stability (稳定性). Select “variability”, and the voice will have a lifelike intonation (语调), including pauses like “er...”. Choose “stability”, and it will come across more like a calm and unemotional newsreader. Taylor Jones, a linguist and consultant, took a careful look at the quality of ElevenLabs’s clone of his voice in a video. A low-tech test, a “conversation” with his own mother, fooled the woman who raised him.
For several years, customers have been able to identify themselves over the phone to their bank and other companies using their voice. This was a security upgrade, not a danger. Not even a gifted voice actor could fool the detection system. But now the banks are forced to change in order to prevent crime.
Creative industries could face trouble. Voice actors’ skills, trained over a lifetime, can be copied in seconds. But some actors may, in fact, find cloning congenial. One actor, who has lost much of his voice to throat cancer, was delighted to have his voice restored for his new movie. Others may be spared the trouble of heading for the studio for retakes. Another industry that will have to deal with the rise of clones is journalism. Secret recordings have long been the contributor to the big news. Now who will trust a story based on an audio clip (音频片段)
32. How does the author lead in the topic
A. By telling a story.
B. By explaining a concept.
C. By making a guess.
D. By making a comparison.
33. Why is Taylor Jones mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To analyze the use of voice cloning.
B. To draw readers’ attention to AI.
C. To prove ElevenLabs’s achievements.
D. To show the danger of voice cloning.
34. What does the underlined word “congenial” in the last paragraph probably mean
A. Annoying. B. Shocking.
C. Suitable. D. Inventive.
35. Which can be the best title for the text
A. AI Technology: Good or Bad
B. AI-based Voice: A Potential Risk
C. Cloned Voice: Who to Blame
D. Voice Cloning: A New Phenomenon
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。其中有两项为多余选项。
Why Hard Work Is the Key to Success
Hard work and success go hand in hand. 36 However, you have to spend a lot of time working hard for success to build up over time gradually. So you’ll have to decide if you want to endure the pain of hard work, or look back and regret never having tried That said, here are some points to consider before you make your choice.
Everything Comes at a Price
Success, for the vast majority of people, does not come without hard work. 37 You have to push past the obstacles and hold the goal in your mind, realizing that each step forward is one closer to achieving it.
Hard Work Helps You Make Your Luck
If you are an average Joe and simply idle your way through life, you are likely just a spectator (观察者) waiting for something to happen or fall into your lap. The truth of the matter is that the odds of this happening are improbable. Success will not happen suddenly, but with the right amount of strong determination and hard work, your luck tends to get better. 38
Hard Work Promotes Discipline
It is not always going to be easy, and even the most determined people may give up and admit that they are defeated and stop trying. 39 Discipline ensures that you still get up and you are determined to see the result confidently.
You Harvest What You Sow
40 The same goes for hard work. As you make a big effort each day and focus on your goals, you are consistently approaching your future success. As you begin to see the progress you have made, you will begin to feel a sense of achievement and pride in your work.
A. Life is certainly full of challenges.
B. That is where discipline comes into play.
C. Obtaining success without hard work is impossible.
D. When opportunities come your way, do not let them pass you by.
E. If you invest money over time wisely, you will make a good profit eventually.
F. You have to wake up early and head to work even when you do not feel like it.
G. When you hit a failure, the first thing coming to mind is whether you worked hard.

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 was helping my mother in the kitchen when I heard a terrible noise struck from above. I rushed to the upper floor to check out. There was nothing but a wet footprint on the floor.
“What’s happening ” my mother asked.
“Nothing, just the sound of lightning.” I knew something strange had happened, but I ignored it as my mother was suffering a cardiac (心脏的) disease. “We’d better close the windows. Maybe rain will pour down,” I showed a relaxing expression but thought back about that footprint. It was so familiar, but I could not remember where I had seen it.
“David, can you help me take the cooking pot in the attic (阁楼) ” my mother requested. “Oh, please! I am afraid of the dark,” I answered.
My mother said that I was like my father. Oh, you want to know what happened to my father He was an engineer. Last month, he went to the oil platform in the middle of the sea at Jerteh, Terengganu. He said he went there for only 4 days. But 2 weeks had passed, and he still didn’t come back. My mother called the management office in Jerteh but was told they hadn’t seen him since they last saw him on his way to the seashore from the oil platform.
Speaking of my father, my mother looked sad. “Today was our Anniversary Day, but he was missing.”
But back to the main point. I investigated the footprint in my room. And when I looked up, the window was opened. I walked towards it and looked out. Nothing. I closed the window and lay down on my bed. “Ouch! What is this ” I asked myself.
There was a small box on my bed. I wondered what was inside it. I opened the brown box. There was a necklace, made of pure gold. Why was there a gold necklace in my room
Suddenly, my room became dark. My terrible fear towards the darkness was to the limit. I grabbed a flashlight and turned it on.

Dear Ryan,
With the approaching of China Youth Volunteer Service Day, our school carried out a series of events in celebration of it. And I’d like to share some details with you.
The events included volunteer service lectures introducing methods of living an environmentally-friendly life and garbage sorting. After that, we were encouraged to put what we had learned in the lectures into practice in our community and popularize the relevant environmental protection knowledge. Many citizens actively joined us, who also sang our praises.
The events are beneficial. We have realized that all of us can make a contribution to our society and the world where we are living.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
参考范文：
Paragraph 1:
Just at that time, the house bell rang. My mother asked me to open the door to check out who was coming. To be a good son, I braved myself to open the door. I paced to the door and opened it. By the light of the flashlight, I could see a tall creature standing in front of my house door. When I took a good look at the figure, I found out that was the man I knew. He was my father! I was wild with joy. “Dad! Is it you Is this a dream ”
Paragraph 2:
I shouted excitedly, and called my mum down. She was shocked and nearly fainted when she saw my father. “Actually, I planned this thing with the workers in the management office. I knew that your mother would call them, and my plan to be back on our Anniversary Day came true,” said my father. He asked me to fetch the gold necklace he left accidentally in my room when he intended to check if we were home. Then, he handed it to my mum with both of his hands. “Happy Anniversary Day, my dear!” my father said to my mother. My mother couldn’t help crying, giving my dad a big hug.

本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了橡树农场研学基地的三个活动项目。通过参与该农场提供的教育项目和进行实地考察，学生可以亲身参与到可持续发展的学习中来。
21. C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“... keep your students engaged in fun and exciting learning opportunities ... a classroom without walls, offering educator-developed programs and field trips.”可知，橡树农场是一个研学基地。故选C。
22. B 细节理解题。根据The Dairy Adventure部分中的“... how robots are used in the Voluntary Milking System.”可知，人们在那里可以见证智能挤奶的过程。故选B。
23. A 细节理解题。根据“Whole Adventures — include admission to the Pig Adventure, the Dairy Adventure, and the Crop Adventure ($7/student)”可知，若三个项目都参观，最少花费是7美元，所以只参观the Dairy Adventure和the Crop Adventure最少花费也是7美元。故选A。
B篇
【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了年事已高的贝蒂·桑迪森在和朋友闲聊的时候谈到她后悔没有完成67年前开始的学士学位，于是她回到大学继续完成未完成的学分并获得学士学位。贝蒂·桑迪森认为，生命太短，不能带着遗憾生活。
24．B【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“But when she was just 25 credits short of getting her degree, for some reason, Betty dropped out of school and soon got married.(但当贝蒂离获得学位只差25个学分时，出于某种原因，她辍学了，很快就结婚了)”可知，贝蒂未能得到学习学位的原因是没有修够学分，故选B。
25．B【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段“However, she was discouraged by the new technology used when taking online courses during the coronavirus pandemic.(然而，她对新冠疫情期间参加在线课程时使用的新技术感到沮丧)”可知，在攻读学士学位的过程中，让贝蒂感到不那么自信的是新技术，故选B。
26．C【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段“Betty decided to return to university to complete her bachelor’s degree(贝蒂决定回到大学完成她的学士学位)”以及“However, she was discouraged by the new technology used when taking online courses during the coronavirus pandemic. Even so, Betty persevered.(然而，她对新冠疫情期间参加在线课程时使用的新技术感到沮丧。尽管如此，贝蒂还是坚持了下来)”可知，贝蒂是一个很坚定，且努力工作的人，故选C。
27．D【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段“At age 84, Betty got her bachelor’s degree in Multidisciplinary Studies from the College of Continuing and Professional Studies.(84岁时，贝蒂在继续与专业研究学院获得了多学科研究学士学位)”以及“Life’s too short to live with regrets(生命太短，不能带着遗憾生活)”可知，本文要传达的是实现自己的愿望，年龄再大都不迟，故选D。
C篇
本文是一篇科技类新闻报道。文章介绍了堪萨斯城国际机场为了满足各种旅客的需求所做的改进。
28. B 推理判断题。根据第一段可知，人们的飞行次数比以往任何时候都多。但是在美国的机场找到自己的路从来都不是一件容易的事，因为机场太拥挤，而且要完成大量的任务，比如办理登机手续、照看行李、安检和找到登机口。到达你要去的地方往往很困难。如果你坐轮椅或有视力障碍，那就更难了。再结合下文对堪萨斯城国际机场新航站楼的介绍可知，第一段的主要作用是介绍设计堪萨斯城国际机场新航站楼的背景。故选B。
29. D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“One innovation (创新) is the glass-walled jet bridge for people who are worried about getting on and off planes.”可知，堪萨斯城国际机场的一个创新之处在于玻璃幕墙式登机桥，它可以为那些担心上下飞机的人提供服务。由此可知，有飞行焦虑的人最有可能使用玻璃幕墙式登机桥。故选D。
30. C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Justin Meyer ... said the new terminal sets a level of inclusivity that passengers will expect in other airports.”“My goal was just to raise the bar, so if someone else wants to build the most accessible airport in the world, they’re going to have to start from where Kansas City stopped.”可知，Justin Meyer表示，新的航站楼设立了一种包容性的标准，乘客们将期望在其他机场也能体验到这种标准，如果其他人想要建造世界上最方便的机场，他们将不得不超越堪萨斯城机场。由此可知，Justin Meyer认为新航站楼在机场服务方面设立了很高的标准。故选C。
31. A 观点态度题。根据最后一段可知，虽然让不同能力的人更容易进入机场似乎是昂贵或困难的，但好处肯定大于成本。便利的机场意味着更多的人和他们的家人将能够旅行，然后乘坐飞机的体验对所有人都将是友好的。由此可推知，作者对堪萨斯城国际机场的做法持支持态度。故选A。
D篇
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了声音克隆技术及其潜在的危害。
32. A 推理判断题。文章开篇先讲述了Jennifer DeStefano差点被陌生来电里“女儿”的声音骗到的经历，接着第一段最后一句点出，这个电话中的声音是克隆出来的。下文均是围绕声音克隆这个话题展开的，因此作者是通过讲述一个故事或一个人的经历来引入话题的。故选A。
33. D 推理判断题。第二段中的“Now the dangers are starting to be talked aloud.”是本文的中心句，本文主要讲的就是人们逐渐认识到声音克隆技术潜在的危害。第三段提到ElevenLabs把Taylor Jones的声音克隆得很逼真，连抚养他长大的母亲都被骗了，因此可推知，作者通过Taylor Jones的例子来说明声音克隆技术可能带来的危害。故选D。
34. C 词义猜测题。文章最后一段先说声音克隆可能会使创意行业遇到麻烦，然后笔锋一转，But后的内容和上文形成转折，由此可推测此处是声音克隆技术的好处。再结合下文中的“One actor, who has lost much of his voice to throat cancer, was delighted to have his voice restored ... the studio for retakes.”可知，有一位演员因患喉癌声音受损，他很开心声音克隆技术恢复了自己的声音。其他人或许能省去前往录音棚重录的麻烦。因此对于这些人来说声音克隆技术是非常“适合”他们的。故选C。
35. B 标题概括题。结合第二段的最后一句和下文对声音克隆技术的危害的描述可知，本文主要介绍声音克隆技术和它的潜在危害。B选项“以人工智能为基础的声音：一个潜在的危害”能概括文章的主旨。故选B。
第二节
本文是一篇说明文。努力和成功是相辅相成的。为了成功，你必须投入大量时间和精力去努力。努力是成功的关键。
36. C 根据文章第一句“Hard work and success go hand in hand.”可知，努力和成功是相辅相成的。C项“不努力就不可能获得成功。”是对上文的进一步解释和延伸。故选C。
37. F 根据本段的小标题Everything Comes at a Price可知，本段的主旨是“凡事都需付出代价”。F项“即使当你不想（这样做）时，你也不得不早起去工作。”与空后的“You have to push past the obstacles”都是成功的代价。故选F。
38. D 根据本段的小标题Hard Work Helps You Make Your Luck以及空前一句“Success will not happen suddenly, but with the right amount of strong determination and hard work, your luck tends to get better.”可知，努力会带来好运，成功不会突然发生，但有了适量的坚定决心并努力，你的运气就会越来越好。D项“当机会向你走来时，不要让它们与你擦肩而过。”与上文内容相衔接，opportunities与luck相呼应。故选D。
39. B 根据本段的小标题Hard Work Promotes Discipline和空后的“Discipline ensures that you still get up and you are determined to see the result confidently.”可知，空处应提到discipline。B项“那就是纪律发挥作用的地方。”中的That指的是上文提到的“... even the most determined people may give up and admit that they are defeated and stop trying.”这种情况。故选B。
40. E 根据空后的“The same goes for hard work.”可知，空处应提到与“努力的人会获得成功”一样的情况。E项“如果你长期明智地投资，你最终会获得丰厚的利润。”符合此处的语境。故选E。

M: Zara Rutherford is a 19-year-old girl. She has recently completed a 32,000-mile flight around the global. She landed at Kortrijk-Wevelgem Airport in western Belgium on Thursday. She became the youngest woman, and first Belgian to fly alone around the world. It took her 155 days. The previous youngest-ever woman to accomplish such a feat was American called Shaesta Waiz. Rutherford made the flight to inspire more women and girls into STEM fields. But obviously and particularly she wanted to encourage them to learn how to be a pilot. Only 5.1% of pilots are women. She’s also supporting the non-profit Girls Who Code. It wasn’t all smooth during her flight. Unexpected conditions and visa difficulties made her fly longer than she planned. For example, she had to stop in California because of the wildfires there. She originally planned to fly for just three months, but it lasted a lot more days instead. She had planned to fly over 52 countries, but because of visa difficulties she flew just over 41 countries. Though she had met many difficulties, she managed to land safely in the end and became a new role model of many people.
