B．To make the bridegroom different.
C．To raise money for the new couple.
【答案】17．C 18．B 19．A 20．C
【原文】I have been to many different types of weddings, and they are all memorable in their own way. But I can’t remember a better one than the wedding I attended in Northern Italy last summer. First of all, a little background: the wedding was for a good friend of mine I met in university in England. After graduation, we spent some time in France, where he met his lovely girl that he was going to marry. Two years later, I was riding up the narrow streets that led to his hometown in the mountains. The first difference I noticed was there was no traditional bachelor party. Instead, the family had a big dinner every day the week before the wedding. They made everything themselves, even on the wedding day. This is unlike American weddings, where it is typical to hire a company to do it. On the day of the wedding, there were two other non-American traditions I liked. One: there were no long, boring speeches! And two: the cutting of the bridegroom’s tie. I know it sounds like a joke, but it’s true! The family cuts the tie into little pieces, and then people bid on them to raise money for the happy couple! It was a lot of fun. It’s also fun to learn other people’s cultures and see them celebrate together. So, what is the most romantic wedding you have attended like

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
（23-24高二下·广东·阶段练习）If you are crazy about paintings, you shouldn’t miss the following four famous masterpieces which have stood the test of time.
The Arnolfini Portrait
Jan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery, London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document in fifteenth-century society, through Van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism—while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.
The Starry Night
Vincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas, a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France between 1889 and 1890. When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of Van Gogh’s most famous works.
The Harvesters
The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurs within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.
Guernica
Guernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title “Guernica” refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofaí in Madrid.
21．Which of the following paintings was produced earliest
A．The Arnolfini Portrait. B．The Starry Night.
C．The Harvesters. D．Guernica.
22．What do we know about the painting The Starry Night
A．It was painted on wood in oil.
B．It wasn’t widely recognized before 1940s.
C．It described the painter’s life in hospital.
D．It was given away to the museum by a private collector.
23．Who created the painting representing the massive catastrophe the Nazism brought to people
A．Pieter Bruegel the Elder. B．Vincent van Gogh.
C．Jan van Eyck. D．Pablo Picasso.
【答案】21．A 22．B 23．D
【导语】
这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四幅名画——从扬·凡·艾克的肖像画到巴勃罗·毕加索的杰作, 它们都经受住了时间的考验。
21．细节理解题。根据第二段The Amolfini Portrait中的“…produced in 1434.”第三段The Starry Night中的“…France between 1889 and 1890.”第四段The Harvesters中的“… in 1565.”和第五段Guernica中的“…Pablo Picasso in 1937.”可知，The Amolfini Portrait是最早创作的画。故选A。
22．细节理解题。根据The Starry Night中的“When the Museum of Modem Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh's most famous works.” (1941年，当纽约现代艺术博物馆从一位私人收藏家手中买下这幅画时，它并不为人所知，但后来却成了梵高最著名的作品之一。)可知，The Starry Night在1941年之前没有被广泛认可。故选B。
23．细节理解题。根据Guernica的“Guernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title “Guernica” refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war.”（格尔尼卡油画是一幅大型黑白油画，由西班牙立体派画家巴勃罗·毕加索于1937年创作。“格尔尼卡”这个名字是指在西班牙内战期间被纳粹飞机轰炸的城市。这幅画描绘了战争的恐怖，因此成为反战的象征，提醒人们战争的悲剧。）可推断，巴勃罗·毕加索创造的油画描述了纳粹给人类带来巨大灾难。故选D。
B
（23-24高二下·陕西渭南·阶段练习）With 11 foreign languages under her belt, 68-year-old villager-turned tour guide Xu Xiuzhen has become a celebrity in the town of Yangshuo.
Xu was born in a poor family at the base of Moon Hill. In the late 1970s, Yangshuo became one of the country’s first tourist destinations to welcome foreign visitors after China’s reform and opening up in 1978. “I began to see more foreign faces near Mt. Moon, and locals who spoke some English sold more bottled water than me,” said Xu. “No English, no money.” With the influx of foreign guests in Yangshuo, a large number of villagers sought opportunities to learn English given the booming tourism market. Xu eagerly joined the craze. At that time, she made a living on farming and occasionally sold bottled water to tourists near Mt. Moon.
Over the past 16 years, Xu never stops learning and has taught herself 11 foreign languages, including English, Spanish, Japanese and Korean. But the polyglot farmer’s success has been hard-won. She started learning simple English phrases 16 years ago. “I used Pinyin to memorize the pronunciation of English words, but my strong southern accent made it quite difficult to understand,” said Xu. So, “I turned to foreign visitors for help, and I always appreciate their feedback because they have helped me correct my word choices and pronunciation.”
Not content to simply serve as a tour guide, she now owns a popular restaurant and operates a reputable hotel. Huang Yongzhong, director of Yangshuo’s tourism bureau, said Xu’s success has encouraged many farmers to follow suit. He added that the government supports local tour guides by providing frequent training on the laws and regulations of the tourism industry. Farmers in Yangshuo are passionate, sincere and hard-working, and this spirit will lead to more success stories like that of her, he said.
24．What does the underlined word “craze” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A．Learning English. B．Living by farming.
C．Selling bottled water. D．Welcoming foreign visitors.
25．According to Paragraph 3, Xu learnt English by the following means EXCEPT ______.
A．making use of Pinyin B．imitating southern accent
C．learning from foreigners’ feedback D．polishing the pronunciation of words
26．What is the government’s attitude towards Xu’s success
A．Neutral. B．Skeptical. C．Positive. D．Cautious.
27．What is the most suitable title for this passage
A．Practice makes perfect B．One who fails to reach the Great Wall is not a hero
C．Don’t judge a book by its cover D．The “late” bird strives to catch the worm
【答案】24．A 25．B 26．C 27．D
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，介绍了阳朔68岁村民导游徐秀珍精通11门外语并收获成功，她的事迹激励了当地的村民的故事。
24．词义猜测题。根据划线词前文“With the influx of foreign guests in Yangshuo, a large number of villagers sought opportunities to learn English given the booming tourism market.(随着外国游客涌入阳朔，考虑到旅游市场的蓬勃发展，大量村民寻求学习英语的机会)”可以推知，在阳朔有着大量外国游客的时候，徐秀珍加入了学习英语的狂热，craze表示学习英语的狂热。故选A。
25．细节理解题。根据文章第三段““I used Pinyin to memorize the pronunciation of English words, but my strong southern accent made it quite difficult to understand,” said Xu. So, “I turned to foreign visitors for help, and I always appreciate their feedback because they have helped me correct my word choices and pronunciation.”(“我用拼音来记忆英语单词的发音，但我浓重的南方口音让我很难理解，”徐说。所以，“我向外国游客寻求帮助，我一直很感激他们的反馈，因为他们帮助我纠正了我的用词和发音。”)”可知，徐秀珍通过使用拼音记忆发音，从外国人的反馈中学习并完善单词的发音，但是没有提到模仿南方口音。故选B。
26．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“He added that the government supports local tour guides by providing frequent training on the laws and regulations of the tourism industry. Farmers in Yangshuo are passionate, sincere and hard-working, and this spirit will lead to more success stories like that of her, he said.(他补充说，政府通过经常提供有关旅游业法律法规的培训来支持当地导游。他说，阳朔的农民热情、真诚、勤劳，这种精神将带来更多像她这样的成功故事)”可知，当地政府对于徐秀珍的成功持积极态度。故选C。
27．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“With 11 foreign languages under her belt, 68-year-old villager-turned tour guide Xu Xiuzhen has become a celebrity in the town of Yangshuo.(68岁的村民导游徐秀珍会11门外语，她已经成为阳朔镇的名人)”及最后一段“Farmers in Yangshuo are passionate, sincere and hard-working, and this spirit will lead to more success stories like that of her, he said.(他说，阳朔的农民热情、真诚、勤劳，这种精神将带来更多像她这样的成功故事)”可知，本文介绍了阳朔68岁村民导游徐秀珍精通11门外语并收获成功，她的事迹激励了当地的村民的故事。D选项“‘迟到’的鸟努力抓虫”中“late”bird代表徐秀珍，标题表示她辛勤的学习给她带来了成功。故选D。
C
（22-23高二下·山东临沂·期末）Officials at Northland Pines School District are working with a tech company called Spooky Action on a program to allow students to use the Internet through drones (无人机).
About 10 percent of Northland Pines students don’t have any Internet access at home, and as many as 40 percent have poor connection speeds which hardly meet the demands of home learning. District leaders have tried for more than ten years to close that gap, but there are no easy solutions. “We’re a district of about 500 square miles and getting Internet connect ion for every family is a challenge,” says Harlan Leusink, the director of technology for the district.
The program will use drones that are connected to a power source on the ground and that can stay in the air for weeks and even months. The drones will serve as flying cell towers. However, the purpose of designing drones had nothing to do with the education but it was related to disasters. “A hurricane comes in and blows down all your cell towers; it’s pretty easy to put up a flying cell tower,” Rahul Tiwari, Spooky Action’s CEO, says. “It’s not necessary to replace a cell tower. The idea is to quickly meet the Internet needs of a community without having to build a million cell towers everywhere.”
While the drones can stay in the air for more than a month, that’s not usually necessary when they provide the Internet for students. Tiwari says the drones will be active during peak (高峰) class and homework times and won’t be flying overnight.
Leusink says his district is looking at the drone service as a proof-of-concept for where and how they need to set up more permanent (永久的) devices (设备). If a drone in a certain area gives students good coverage in that area, he says the next step will be for the district to look for more permanent land-based solutions.
28．What problems does Northland Pines School District have
A．It has poor Internet access and connection.
B．Internet access at home is impossible there.
C．It has difficulty developing its transport services.
D．Students there pay little attention to online learning.
29．Why were Spooky Action’s drones designed at first
A．To offer daily supplies after disasters.
B．To replace cell towers in remote areas.
C．To improve the national educational standards.
D．To provide the Internet service during disasters.
30．What can we infer from what Rahul Tiwari says about drones
A．They have closed the teaching gap.
B．They cannot meet students’ needs.
C．They don’t need to work all the time.
D．They will fly close to local cell towers.
31．What step will be taken for the district
A．Developing new-type drones.
B．Further testing the drone services.
C．Offering more wireless hotspots.
D．Building permanent equipment properly.
【答案】28．A 29．D 30．C 31．D
【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述Northland Pines学区的官员正在与一家名为Spooky Action的科技公司合作，开发一个允许学生通过无人机使用互联网的项目。
28．细节理解题。根据第二段的“About 10 percent of Northland Pines students don’t have any Internet access at home, and as many as 40 percent have poor connection speeds which hardly meet the demands of home learning. District leaders have tried for more than ten years to close that gap, but there are no easy solutions.(大约10%的Northland Pines学生在家没有任何互联网接入，多达40%的学生网速较差，难以满足家庭学习的需求。十多年来，地区领导人一直试图缩小这一差距，但没有简单的解决办法。)可知，Northland Pines学区的问题是它的互联网接入和连接都很差。故选A。
29．推理判断题。根据第三段“However, the purpose of designing drones had nothing to do with the education but it was related to disasters. “A hurricane comes in and blows down all your cell towers; it’s pretty easy to put up a flying cell tower, ” Rahul Tiwari, Spooky Action’s CEO，says. “It’s not necessary to replace a Cell tower. The idea is to quickly meet the Internet needs of a community without having to build a million cell towers everywhere.” (然而，设计无人机的目的与教育无关，而是与灾难有关。Spooky Action的首席执行官拉胡尔·蒂瓦里说：“飓风来了，把你所有的手机信号塔都吹倒了；架设一个飞行的手机信号塔很容易，没有必要更换手机信号塔。我们的想法是迅速满足一个社区的互联网需求，而不必在各地建立一百万个手机信号塔。”) 可知，Spooky Action的无人机最初设计是在灾难期间提供互联网服务的。故选D。
30．推理判断题。根据第四段“Tiwari says the drones will be active during peak (高峰) class and homework times and won’t be flying overnight. (蒂瓦里表示，无人机将在上课高峰和作业时间活跃，不会在夜间飞行。)可知，从拉胡尔·蒂瓦里关于无人机的言论中，我们知道无人机不需要一直工作。故选C。
31．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Leusink says his district is looking at the drone service as a proof-of-concept for where and how they need to set up more permanent (永久的) devices (设备). If a drone in a certain area gives students good coverage in that area, he says the next step will be for the district to look for more permanent land-based solutions. (Leusink表示，他所在的地区正在将无人机服务视为一种概念验证，以确定他们需要在哪里以及如何设置更永久的设备。他说，如果某一地区的无人机能很好地覆盖学生，下一步该地区将寻找更永久的陆地解决方案。)可知，该地区将采取的措施是妥善建造永久性设备。故选D。
D
（23-24高二下·湖北·阶段练习）In the rich countries of the West, the electric vehicle revolution is well underway. Climate-conscious consumers drive Teslas or Polestars for reasons of morality and fashion. Poorer countries are also experiencing a wave of electrified trend. In Bangladesh, electric three-wheeler taxis, known as tuk-tuks, are rapidly replacing gas-powered ones on the streets. Such electric vehicles are climate friendly, cost effective, and help reduce air pollution.
Yet a glance under the hood (引擎盖) of these vehicles reveals a poisonous secret: each tuk-tuk runs on five massive lead-acid batteries, containing almost 300 pounds of lead in total. Every year and a half or so, when those batteries need to be replaced and recycled, about 60 pounds of lead leak into the environment. Battery recycling, often at small-scale unregulated factories, is a highly profitable but deadly business.
Lead is dangerous, and any exposure to it is harmful to human health. Lead that has entered the environment hurts people on an extraordinary scale. The numerous ways lead enters air, water, soil, and homes across the developing world — and the enormous damage it does to human health, wealth, and welfare — causes one of the biggest environmental crises in the world yet receives little attention.
The World Bank estimates that lead kills 5. 5 million people per year, which would make it a bigger global killer than AIDS, malaria, diabetes, and road traffic deaths combined. On top of the shocking deaths, the social burden of lead poisoning is extraordinary, as is its contribution to global inequality — our research on the cognitive effects of lead poisoning suggests that it may explain about one-fifth of the educational achievement gap between rich and poor countries.
But unlike many challenges faced by developing countries, lead poisoning is a problem that is fixable with some attention and a relatively modest financial investment. Better monitoring, research, and rules can help protect children all over the world from the dreadful effects of lead poisoning and reduce the massive global costs it brings.
32．How does the author describe the lead problem in paragraph 2
A．By making a comparison. B．By analyzing hidden causes.
C．By listing convincing numbers. D．By explaining its working principle.
33．What can we learn from the text
A．Lead enters rich countries in various ways.
B．Lead poisoning may make poor societies poorer.
C．Exposure to lead doesn’t necessarily harm someone.
D．Lead leaking has caused great panic in both countries.
34．What can be done to solve lead poisoning in developing countries
A．Fixing these used batteries. B．Putting certain effort and money.
C．Prohibiting the illegal use of lead. D．Reducing the cost of recycling lead.
35．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．The Impacts of Lead Poisoning on Human Health
B．The Outcomes of Using Electric Vehicles
C．The Ways to Solve Lead Problem
D．The Global Lead Poisoning Crisis
【答案】32．C 33．B 34．B 35．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要阐述了目前全球都在发展环保节能的电动汽车，但是铅酸电池中的铅是危险的，任何接触都对人体健康，铅中毒给人类健康、财富和福利造成的巨大损害，不仅造成死亡还带来极大的社会负担。
32．推理判断题。第二段中“Yet a glance under the hood (引擎盖) of these vehicles reveals a poisonous secret: each tuk-tuk runs on five massive lead-acid batteries, containing almost 300 pounds of lead in total. Every year and a half or so, when those batteries need to be replaced and recycled, about 60 pounds of lead leak into the environment. Battery recycling, often at small-scale unregulated factories, is a highly profitable but deadly business.( 然而，只要看一眼这些车辆的引擎盖，就会发现一个有毒的秘密：每辆嘟嘟车都是由五块巨大的铅酸电池驱动的，总共含有近300磅的铅。每一年半左右，当这些电池需要更换和回收时，大约有60磅的铅泄漏到环境中。电池回收通常在不受监管的小型工厂进行，这是一项高利润但致命的业务。)”作者通过用具体数字列出嘟嘟车铅酸电池中铅的量来说明目前所面临的铅污染问题；由此可知，作者通过列出令人信服的数字来说明目前的铅问题。故选C。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段中“The numerous ways lead enters air, water, soil, and homes across the developing world — and the enormous damage it does to human health, wealth, and welfare — causes one of the biggest environmental crises in the world yet receives little attention.(在发展中国家，铅以多种方式进入空气、水、土壤和家庭——以及它对人类健康、财富和福利造成的巨大损害——造成了世界上最大的环境危机之一，但却很少受到关注。)”以及第四段中“On top of the shocking deaths, the social burden of lead poisoning is extraordinary, as is its contribution to global inequality — our research on the cognitive effects of lead poisoning suggests that it may explain about one-fifth of the educational achievement gap between rich and poor countries.(除了令人震惊的死亡之外，铅中毒的社会负担是巨大的，就像它对全球不平等的贡献一样——我们对铅中毒的认知影响的研究表明，它可以解释富国和穷国之间教育成就差距的五分之一。)”可知，在发展中国家，铅以多种方式进入空气、水、土壤和家庭，对人类健康、财富和福利造成的巨大损害，不仅造成死亡还带来极大的社会负担，使贫穷的社会更贫穷。故选B。
34．推理判断题。根据最后一段“But unlike many challenges faced by developing countries, lead poisoning is a problem that is fixable with some attention and a relatively modest financial investment. Better monitoring, research, and rules can help protect children all over the world from the dreadful effects of lead poisoning and reduce the massive global costs it brings.(但是，与发展中国家面临的许多挑战不同，铅中毒是一个可以通过一些关注和相对适度的财政投资来解决的问题。更好的监测、研究和规则可以帮助保护世界各地的儿童免受铅中毒的可怕影响，并减少其带来的巨大全球成本。)”可知，发展中国家可以通过一些关注和相对适度的财政投资，进行更好的监测、研究以及制定规则来解决铅污染和铅中毒问题；由此可知，发展中国家可以通过投入一定的努力和金钱解决铅中毒问题。故选B。
35．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“In the rich countries of the West, the electric vehicle revolution is well underway. Climate-conscious consumers drive Teslas or Polestars for reasons of morality and fashion. Poorer countries are also experiencing a wave of electrified trend.(在西方富裕国家，电动汽车革命正在如火如荼地进行。有气候意识的消费者出于道德和时尚的原因驾驶特斯拉或北极星。较贫穷的国家也正在经历一波电气化趋势。)”以及第二段“Yet a glance under the hood (引擎盖) of these vehicles reveals a poisonous secret: each tuk-tuk runs on five massive lead-acid batteries, containing almost 300 pounds of lead in total. Every year and a half or so, when those batteries need to be replaced and recycled, about 60 pounds of lead leak into the environment. Battery recycling, often at small-scale unregulated factories, is a highly profitable but deadly business.(然而，只要看一眼这些车辆的引擎盖，就会发现一个有毒的秘密：每辆嘟嘟车都是由五块巨大的铅酸电池驱动的，总共含有近300磅的铅。每一年半左右，当这些电池需要更换和回收时，大约有60磅的铅泄漏到环境中。电池回收通常在不受监管的小型工厂进行，这是一项高利润但致命的业务。)”可知，全球都在发展电动汽车，经历电气化，但是铅酸电池中的铅是危险的；下文主要阐述了铅中毒给社会和健康带来的极大危害；由此可知，文章主要讲述目前发展电动汽车带来的铅污染问题、世界上铅中毒的严峻形势及其给社会和健康带来的极大危害；D选项“The Global Lead Poisoning Crisis(全球铅中毒危机)”能够概括文章主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选D。

（23-24高二下·浙江·开学考试）Mindful weight loss is an approach to losing weight that emphasis being aware of your physical and emotional state about food choices. Research shows that mindful eating can help people reach their target weight more effectively and sustainably than dieting alone. It involves developing a deeper understanding of hunger, cravings (渴望) and emotions related to food, as well as learning to better listen to the body’s need. 36
The practice of mindful eating starts with paying attention to what you are feeling rather than focusing on restricting calones or avoiding certain foods together. You may be asked questions such as “How hungry am I” or “What am I really craving ” that help you focus on what your body is telling you. 37 This helps you better enjoy your food and stay satisfied longer.
A key component of mindful weight loss is researching healthy foods, understanding portions, and learning about nutrition labels. 38 Keeping track of meals and snacks through journaling for a few weeks can be helpful in getting an idea of what foods are triggering cravings or leading to overeating.
39 Such feelings can be guilt, stress, boredom or loneliness. Being mindful of emotions can help identify triggers for eating and help create healthier habits.
Mindfulness helps to stay strong in the face of cravings and urges by recognizing them as a part of the weight loss journey and staying focused on reaching goals. Practicing regular mindfulness techniques such as deep breathing, yoga or mediation will also help build weight loss over time. 40 With consistent effort, mindful weight loss can lead to improved physical health, mental wellness and overall balance in life.
A．The practice of mindful eating promotes overall health.
B．Becoming aware of mindful weight can help you get there.
C．Therefore, you can make informed decisions about what to eat.
D．Mindful weight loss also includes being aware of emotions related to food.
E．With this knowledge, you can change lifestyle for long-term weight loss success.
F．Mindful weight is a journey towards health, not just a focus on a specific weight.
G．You can also practice mindful eating by experiencing taste, texture, and emotions.

He also explained the steps 61 (generate) videos with AI. Taking the first episode of “Journey to the West” as 62 example, from the beginning of chaos to the birth of the stone monkey to the learning of art, he emphasized the need to determine the required number of pictures and storyboards.
He mentioned using ChatGPT to analyze the original text, complete storyboard planning, use AI painting software for drawing, 63 then employ “picture-to-video” software to animate the images.
These processes 64 (general) produce a large number of preliminary drafts. “At present, it is difficult for AI 65 (understand) my meaning.” Mr. Feng said.
【答案】
56．released 57．on 58．possibilities 59．delivering 60．which 61．to generate 62．an 63．and 64．generally 65．to understand
【导语】
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了用AI辅助生成的西游记视频片段取得了巨大成功。如果人工制作此类视频大概需要六个月，但是利用AI辅助制作仅需要一周左右。
56．考查一般过去时。句意：近日，一位来自四川、昵称为“人工智能疯狂屋”的博主在网络上发布了一部由人工智能生成的《西游记》动画短片。分析句子可知，release在句子里充当谓语，其主语是“A blogger”；全文都为一般过去时，故答案是released。
57．考查介词搭配。句意：近日，一位来自四川、昵称为“人工智能疯狂屋”的博主在网络上发布了一部由人工智能生成的《西游记》动画短片。横线后是Internet（因特网），“在网上”的英文是“on the Internet”，故答案是on。
58．考查名词。句意：这部电影以其视觉效果震撼了网友，也为经典作品在影视中的呈现开辟了新的可能。possibility是可数名词，意思是“可能性”，其形容词是possible；横线前没有冠词，可判断应该使用其复数形式，故答案是possibilities。
59．考查非谓语动词。句意：通过深度学习和创新技术，人工智能重新诠释了这部中国文学名著，为观众带来了令人惊叹的视觉效果和情感体验。分析句子可知，本句已经存在谓语reinterpreted，所以deliver在句子里需要转化为非谓语动词，其逻辑主语是AI，二者呈主动关系，应该使用现在分词形式，故答案是delivering。
60．考查定语从句。句意：他表示，这段手动制作至少需要六个月的视频，在人工智能的帮助下只花了一周时间就完成了。横线后是完整句子，横线前是名词video，可判断本句是定语从句。先行词是video，在从句中充当主语，而且本句是带逗号的非限定性定语从句，不可以使用that，故答案是which。
61．考查非谓语动词。句意：他还解释了用人工智能生成视频的步骤。分析句子可知，本句已经存在谓语explained，所以generate需要转化为非谓语的形式；可判断横线是用来修饰steps的后置定语，修饰steps需要使用to do的形式，故答案是to generate。
62．考查冠词。句意：以《西游记》第一集为例。example是可数名词，意思是“例子”，本句使用了固定搭配“take sth. as an example”，意思是“拿……举个例子”，故答案是an。
63．考查连词。句意：他提到了使用ChatGPT来分析原文，完成故事板规划，使用人工智能绘画软件进行绘图，然后使用“图片转视频”软件对图像进行动画化。分析句子可知，横线前后并列了四个动词，分别是analyze, complete, use和employ，根据语法规则，多个动词并列，需要在最后两个动词之间添加连词。根据句意，并列关系可以使用连词and，故答案是and。
64．考查副词。句意：这些过程一般会产生大量的初稿。general是形容词，意思是“一般的”，分析句子可知，横线在句子里修饰动词produce，所以需要使用副词，故答案是generally。
65．考查固定句型。句意：目前，人工智能很难理解我的意思。本句符合句型“it is + adj. + for sb. + to do”，意思是“做某事对某人来说是……的”，故答案是to understand。

（22-23高二下·福建漳州·期末）When I was a little boy, my family wasn’t the well-off one. Mom and Dad could initially afford three meals a day and my school lunch, but that changed after Dad had a stroke (中风). He was unable to work, so Mom became the family breadwinner.
I felt terrible about my family’s situation, so I told Mom I’d lend her a hand and stop going to school until Dad could work. But Mom refused. “If you want to help us, Hector,” she said, “don’t give up on school.”
I was missing out on many things my peers had but that didn’t hurt me. What hurt me was that while everyone else was eating lunch at school, I would sit in the playground. “It’s OK!” I would assure myself. “I’m not hungry!”
One day, I left class during lunch break and went to my usual spot in the playground. Then, I saw a lunchbox there. “Delicious!” read the note next to it. I looked around, thinking someone had left it there by accident, but there was no one around. I was hungry, so I opened the box, and there was a delicious sandwich and a cookie inside.
I knew what I did next was wrong, but I ran away with the sandwich and cookie, leaving the empty box behind. I hid somewhere and wolfed the food down, and it was so… yummy! I felt bad about eating someone else’s lunch, but I was starving. “I’m sorry,” I said quietly, thinking the lunchbox wasn’t for me. But the next day, the box was there again, and it was again there the day after that. I ate from it one more time, but then I stopped. Why Because it seemed like the wrong thing to do.
Then, one day, as I was about to leave the classroom for the playground, the whole class surrounded me. “Hector, why did you stop eating from the lunchbox ” my friend Tom asked me. “It’s the food that everyone saves for you!” “You left the lunchbox ” I asked in tears. “Why ”
“That’s the best way to help you,” said one of my classmates, Stacey.
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。
Seeing my surprised look, Stacey put his arms around me and continued to explain.

Laying the lunchbox to heart for years, I invited all my classmates to my restaurant.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Seeing my surprised look, Stacey put his arms around me and continued to explain. She said, “We noticed that you were always alone during lunch, and it broke our hearts. So, we decided to save a portion of our own meals for you and leave them in the lunchbox. We wanted you to know that you are not alone, and we care about you.” I was moved to burst into tears as I looked around at all the friendly faces surrounding me. From that day on, I enjoyed the delicious lunch with my classmates in the classroom together. With their care, I never gave up on school and worked hard all the time. Many years later, I had my own restaurant.
Laying the lunchbox to heart for years, I invited all my classmates to my restaurant. As they sat down, I expressed my thankful thoughts to each one of them individually for their kindness and support. I reminisced about the lunchbox and how it had been a symbol of unity during our school days. It not only brought nourishment but also fostered a strong bond between us that had stood the test of time. It taught me that even in the face of adversity, a small act of kindness can create ripples of change and sow seeds of hope.

A
If you are crazy about paintings, you shouldn’t miss the following four famous masterpieces which have stood the test of time.
The Arnolfini Portrait
Jan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the National Gallery, London. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also an informative document in fifteenth-century society, through Van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism—while husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties.
The Starry Night
Vincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas, a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12-month stay at the mental hospital near Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France between 1889 and 1890. When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of Van Gogh’s most famous works.
The Harvesters
The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It depicts the harvest time which most commonly occurs within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919.
Guernica
Guernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title “Guernica” refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result, has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofaí in Madrid.
21．Which of the following paintings was produced earliest
A．The Arnolfini Portrait. B．The Starry Night.
C．The Harvesters. D．Guernica.
22．What do we know about the painting The Starry Night
A．It was painted on wood in oil.
B．It wasn’t widely recognized before 1940s.
C．It described the painter’s life in hospital.
D．It was given away to the museum by a private collector.
23．Who created the painting representing the massive catastrophe the Nazism brought to people
A．Pieter Bruegel the Elder. B．Vincent van Gogh.
C．Jan van Eyck. D．Pablo Picasso.

With 11 foreign languages under her belt, 68-year-old villager-turned tour guide Xu Xiuzhen has become a celebrity in the town of Yangshuo.
Xu was born in a poor family at the base of Moon Hill. In the late 1970s, Yangshuo became one of the country’s first tourist destinations to welcome foreign visitors after China’s reform and opening up in 1978. “I began to see more foreign faces near Mt. Moon, and locals who spoke some English sold more bottled water than me,” said Xu. “No English, no money.” With the influx of foreign guests in Yangshuo, a large number of villagers sought opportunities to learn English given the booming tourism market. Xu eagerly joined the craze. At that time, she made a living on farming and occasionally sold bottled water to tourists near Mt. Moon.
Over the past 16 years, Xu never stops learning and has taught herself 11 foreign languages, including English, Spanish, Japanese and Korean. But the polyglot farmer’s success has been hard-won. She started learning simple English phrases 16 years ago. “I used Pinyin to memorize the pronunciation of English words, but my strong southern accent made it quite difficult to understand,” said Xu. So, “I turned to foreign visitors for help, and I always appreciate their feedback because they have helped me correct my word choices and pronunciation.”
Not content to simply serve as a tour guide, she now owns a popular restaurant and operates a reputable hotel. Huang Yongzhong, director of Yangshuo’s tourism bureau, said Xu’s success has encouraged many farmers to follow suit. He added that the government supports local tour guides by providing frequent training on the laws and regulations of the tourism industry. Farmers in Yangshuo are passionate, sincere and hard-working, and this spirit will lead to more success stories like that of her, he said.
24．What does the underlined word “craze” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A．Learning English. B．Living by farming.
C．Selling bottled water. D．Welcoming foreign visitors.
25．According to Paragraph 3, Xu learnt English by the following means EXCEPT ______.
A．making use of Pinyin B．imitating southern accent
C．learning from foreigners’ feedback D．polishing the pronunciation of words
26．What is the government’s attitude towards Xu’s success
A．Neutral. B．Skeptical. C．Positive. D．Cautious.
27．What is the most suitable title for this passage
A．Practice makes perfect B．One who fails to reach the Great Wall is not a hero
C．Don’t judge a book by its cover D．The “late” bird strives to catch the worm
C
Officials at Northland Pines School District are working with a tech company called Spooky Action on a program to allow students to use the Internet through drones (无人机).
About 10 percent of Northland Pines students don’t have any Internet access at home, and as many as 40 percent have poor connection speeds which hardly meet the demands of home learning. District leaders have tried for more than ten years to close that gap, but there are no easy solutions. “We’re a district of about 500 square miles and getting Internet connect ion for every family is a challenge,” says Harlan Leusink, the director of technology for the district.
The program will use drones that are connected to a power source on the ground and that can stay in the air for weeks and even months. The drones will serve as flying cell towers. However, the purpose of designing drones had nothing to do with the education but it was related to disasters. “A hurricane comes in and blows down all your cell towers; it’s pretty easy to put up a flying cell tower,” Rahul Tiwari, Spooky Action’s CEO, says. “It’s not necessary to replace a cell tower. The idea is to quickly meet the Internet needs of a community without having to build a million cell towers everywhere.”
While the drones can stay in the air for more than a month, that’s not usually necessary when they provide the Internet for students. Tiwari says the drones will be active during peak (高峰) class and homework times and won’t be flying overnight.
Leusink says his district is looking at the drone service as a proof-of-concept for where and how they need to set up more permanent (永久的) devices (设备). If a drone in a certain area gives students good coverage in that area, he says the next step will be for the district to look for more permanent land-based solutions.
28．What problems does Northland Pines School District have
A．It has poor Internet access and connection.
B．Internet access at home is impossible there.
C．It has difficulty developing its transport services.
D．Students there pay little attention to online learning.
29．Why were Spooky Action’s drones designed at first
A．To offer daily supplies after disasters.
B．To replace cell towers in remote areas.
C．To improve the national educational standards.
D．To provide the Internet service during disasters.
30．What can we infer from what Rahul Tiwari says about drones
A．They have closed the teaching gap.
B．They cannot meet students’ needs.
C．They don’t need to work all the time.
D．They will fly close to local cell towers.
31．What step will be taken for the district
A．Developing new-type drones.
B．Further testing the drone services.
C．Offering more wireless hotspots.
D．Building permanent equipment properly.
D
In the rich countries of the West, the electric vehicle revolution is well underway. Climate-conscious consumers drive Teslas or Polestars for reasons of morality and fashion. Poorer countries are also experiencing a wave of electrified trend. In Bangladesh, electric three-wheeler taxis, known as tuk-tuks, are rapidly replacing gas-powered ones on the streets. Such electric vehicles are climate friendly, cost effective, and help reduce air pollution.
Yet a glance under the hood (引擎盖) of these vehicles reveals a poisonous secret: each tuk-tuk runs on five massive lead-acid batteries, containing almost 300 pounds of lead in total. Every year and a half or so, when those batteries need to be replaced and recycled, about 60 pounds of lead leak into the environment. Battery recycling, often at small-scale unregulated factories, is a highly profitable but deadly business.
Lead is dangerous, and any exposure to it is harmful to human health. Lead that has entered the environment hurts people on an extraordinary scale. The numerous ways lead enters air, water, soil, and homes across the developing world — and the enormous damage it does to human health, wealth, and welfare — causes one of the biggest environmental crises in the world yet receives little attention.
The World Bank estimates that lead kills 5. 5 million people per year, which would make it a bigger global killer than AIDS, malaria, diabetes, and road traffic deaths combined. On top of the shocking deaths, the social burden of lead poisoning is extraordinary, as is its contribution to global inequality — our research on the cognitive effects of lead poisoning suggests that it may explain about one-fifth of the educational achievement gap between rich and poor countries.
But unlike many challenges faced by developing countries, lead poisoning is a problem that is fixable with some attention and a relatively modest financial investment. Better monitoring, research, and rules can help protect children all over the world from the dreadful effects of lead poisoning and reduce the massive global costs it brings.
32．How does the author describe the lead problem in paragraph 2
A．By making a comparison. B．By analyzing hidden causes.
C．By listing convincing numbers. D．By explaining its working principle.
33．What can we learn from the text
A．Lead enters rich countries in various ways.
B．Lead poisoning may make poor societies poorer.
C．Exposure to lead doesn’t necessarily harm someone.
D．Lead leaking has caused great panic in both countries.
34．What can be done to solve lead poisoning in developing countries
A．Fixing these used batteries. B．Putting certain effort and money.
C．Prohibiting the illegal use of lead. D．Reducing the cost of recycling lead.
35．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．The Impacts of Lead Poisoning on Human Health
B．The Outcomes of Using Electric Vehicles
C．The Ways to Solve Lead Problem
D．The Global Lead Poisoning Crisis

Mindful weight loss is an approach to losing weight that emphasis being aware of your physical and emotional state about food choices. Research shows that mindful eating can help people reach their target weight more effectively and sustainably than dieting alone. It involves developing a deeper understanding of hunger, cravings (渴望) and emotions related to food, as well as learning to better listen to the body’s need. 36
The practice of mindful eating starts with paying attention to what you are feeling rather than focusing on restricting calones or avoiding certain foods together. You may be asked questions such as “How hungry am I” or “What am I really craving ” that help you focus on what your body is telling you. 37 This helps you better enjoy your food and stay satisfied longer.
A key component of mindful weight loss is researching healthy foods, understanding portions, and learning about nutrition labels. 38 Keeping track of meals and snacks through journaling for a few weeks can be helpful in getting an idea of what foods are triggering cravings or leading to overeating.
39 Such feelings can be guilt, stress, boredom or loneliness. Being mindful of emotions can help identify triggers for eating and help create healthier habits.
Mindfulness helps to stay strong in the face of cravings and urges by recognizing them as a part of the weight loss journey and staying focused on reaching goals. Practicing regular mindfulness techniques such as deep breathing, yoga or mediation will also help build weight loss over time. 40 With consistent effort, mindful weight loss can lead to improved physical health, mental wellness and overall balance in life.

B．Becoming aware of mindful weight can help you get there.

When I was a little boy, my family wasn’t the well-off one. Mom and Dad could initially afford three meals a day and my school lunch, but that changed after Dad had a stroke (中风). He was unable to work, so Mom became the family breadwinner.
I felt terrible about my family’s situation, so I told Mom I’d lend her a hand and stop going to school until Dad could work. But Mom refused. “If you want to help us, Hector,” she said, “don’t give up on school.”
I was missing out on many things my peers had but that didn’t hurt me. What hurt me was that while everyone else was eating lunch at school, I would sit in the playground. “It’s OK!” I would assure myself. “I’m not hungry!”
One day, I left class during lunch break and went to my usual spot in the playground. Then, I saw a lunchbox there. “Delicious!” read the note next to it. I looked around, thinking someone had left it there by accident, but there was no one around. I was hungry, so I opened the box, and there was a delicious sandwich and a cookie inside.
I knew what I did next was wrong, but I ran away with the sandwich and cookie, leaving the empty box behind. I hid somewhere and wolfed the food down, and it was so… yummy! I felt bad about eating someone else’s lunch, but I was starving. “I’m sorry,” I said quietly, thinking the lunchbox wasn’t for me. But the next day, the box was there again, and it was again there the day after that. I ate from it one more time, but then I stopped. Why Because it seemed like the wrong thing to do.
Then, one day, as I was about to leave the classroom for the playground, the whole class surrounded me. “Hector, why did you stop eating from the lunchbox ” my friend Tom asked me. “It’s the food that everyone saves for you!” “You left the lunchbox ” I asked in tears. “Why ”
“That’s the best way to help you,” said one of my classmates, Stacey.
