In a post shared on Twitter last Monday, the woman, Amy Clukey, explained that her dad, a beekeeper, died of lung cancer about nine years ago.

The post has received over 42, 800 likes, 2,333 comments, and 749,000 re-shares in less than 24 hours, and in the comments, the woman added that while she doesn’t do beekeeping herself, two of her brothers are interested in it.
One user commented, “I lost my dad in 2018. This post makes me cry.” And another user said, “My dad is in the last few weeks of his life battling cancer. I’ll come back to the post in a couple of months when I need it again.” And one also shared the story of her personal loss, writing, “I lost my husband half a year ago.

He was a fighter. He lived 5 years and a week after his diagnosis.”(她补充说:“当他被诊断为肺癌4期时，医生告诉他，他只能活18个月。他是个斗士。他在确诊后活了5年零1周。”)”可知，Amy的父亲在发现有癌症后没有放弃，而是顽强抵抗疾病，非常勇敢。故选C项。

Before the year has even come to a close, climate experts are certain that 2023 will be the hottest year in recorded history.
On Dec. 6, the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) — part of the European Union’s space program — revealed that this year’s average global temperatures have been 2.6 F (1.46 C) higher than temperatures in preindustrial times and 0.2 F (0.13 C) higher than January to November in 2016. These “extraordinary” temperatures mean that 2023 will be “the warmest year in recorded history,” C3S deputy director Samantha Burgess said in a statement.
The researchers note that this year’s record heat was partly caused by the latest El Nino event—a phenomenon where warmer water near the equator triggers warmer global air temperatures—that began in June. Some other experts have suggested that the January 2022 eruption of Tonga’s underwater volcano, which pumped record levels of water vapor into the atmosphere, may also be partly responsible.
Despite these factors, the major cause of climbing temperatures is global warming caused by runaway greenhouse gas emissions, which, noted in a C3S statement, have trapped more than 25 billion atomic bombs’ worth of energy in our atmosphere over the last 50 years. And still worse, the global carbon emissions have reached a new high this year, according to scientists at the United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP28) On Dec 4.
The effects of global warming are becoming more obvious. In 2023, research revealed that climate change is causing major US cities to sink and more than half of the world’s largest lakes and reservoirs to shrink. Studies also predicted that the Gulf Stream, which plays a vital role in ocean circulation, could collapse by as early as 2025, and that rising sea levels could swamp the US coastline by 2050.
However, scientists say that we still have time to prevent further disaster. Leading climate change expert Michael Mann, from the University of Pennsylvania, recently wrote that “we can still stop the worst effects of climate change” if we stop emitting greenhouse gases as soon as possible.
8 Which is the main factor in causing the warmest weather in 2023
A. Eruption of an underwater volcano. B. Greenhouse gas emissions.
C. Collapse of the Gulf Stream. D. The latest El Nino event.
9. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A. Scientists’ predictions of the technology. B. The threat of rising sea levels to the U.S.
C. The effects of climate change. D. Different opinions on global warming.
10. How does Michael Mann feel about the present situation
A. Confused. B. Worried. C. Pessimistic. D. Hopeful.
11. What does the underlined word “emitting” mean in the last paragraph
A. Release. B. Prevent. C. Reduce. D. Seek.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要了关于气候变化和全球变暖的最新发现。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Despite these factors, the major cause of climbing temperatures is global warming caused by runaway greenhouse gas emissions(尽管有这些因素，但气温攀升的主要原因是失控的温室气体排放导致的全球变暖)”可知，造成2023年天气最热的主要因素是温室气体排放，故选B项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全段，并结合主旨句“The effects of global warming are becoming more obvious.(全球变暖的影响越来越明显。)”可知，本段主要讲的是气候变化的影响，故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, scientists say that we still have time to prevent further disaster. Leading climate change expert Michael Mann, from the University of Pennsylvania, recently wrote that “we can still stop the worst effects of climate change” if we stop emitting greenhouse gases as soon as possible(然而，科学家们表示，我们仍有时间防止进一步的灾难。宾夕法尼亚大学的首席气候变化专家迈克尔·曼最近写道，如果我们尽快停止emitting温室气体，“我们仍然可以阻止气候变化的最坏影响”)”可推理出，迈克尔·曼认为目前的情况充满希望，故选D项。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前文“we can still stop the worst effects of climate change(我们仍然可以阻止气候变化的最坏影响)”可知，应是停止排放温室气体，我们才可能阻止气候变化的最坏影响，所以推知emitting意为“排放”，和A项意思相近。故选A项。

As irony as this may sound, life would be incredibly boring and possibly meaningless if we had no problems to solve. Difficult moments often require us to think critically and find solutions to complex problems in ways we wouldn’t otherwise. ____16____ When we encounter obstacles (障碍)”, we are pushed to explore new views, seek creative solutions.

【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕“适应力”这一核心概念展开论述，阐述了适应力的意义、作用以及困难对于培养适应力的作用，认为我们应该把人生最艰难的时刻当作学习的机会。
【12题详解】
根据上文“Resilience (适应力) is the ability to renew from hardship and possibly also grow stronger in the process.(适应力是一种从困难中恢复能力，也可能在这个过程中变得更强。)”可知，上文解释了适应力的概念，指出适应力是一种从困难中恢复的能力。选项E“It is a quality to turn hardest moments into learning opportunities(它是一种把最困难的时刻变成学习机会的品质。)”延续上文内容，指出适应力也是一种把最困难的时刻变成学习机会的品质。故选E。

Each time we tolerate a difficult experience, we build resilience, making us better equipped to handle future challenges.(当然，它迫使我们面对我们的恐惧和怀疑。每次我们忍受一次困难的经历，我们就会建立起适应力，使我们更好地应对未来的挑战。)”可知，本段主要阐述生活中的困难与艰辛能够使我们建立适应力，变得坚韧；选项C“Hardship often reveals our true resilience.(苦难常常显示出我们真正的坚韧。)”符合本段主旨，能够引领下文，下文中的代词“it”指代选项中的“Hardship”。故选C。
【14题详解】

【15题详解】
根据上文内容“Life’s challenges often bring us into contact with the suffering of others. Experiencing hardship can promote empathy for those with similar difficulties. This newfound empathy can lead to a desire to help and support others.

【16题详解】
根据下文内容“When we encounter obstacles (障碍)”, we are pushed to explore new views, seek creative solutions. Without obstacles, we wouldn’t ever discover what we’re truly capable of and a lot of our potential would be wasted.(当我们遇到障碍时，我们被推动去探索新的观点，寻求创造性的解决方案。如果没有障碍，我们永远不会发现自己真正的能力，我们的很多潜力都会被浪费掉。)”可知，生活中的障碍和挑战让我们发现自己真正的能力。选项G“These challenges can be seen as opportunities to develop problem-solving skills.(这些挑战可以被看作是培养解决问题能力的机会。)”与下文内容一致，指的是挑战会让我们培养解决问题的能力。故选G。

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一名上海健身视频记录者利用太极拳锻炼和减压的事情。
【32题详解】
考查动名词。句意：然而，练习太极拳一个月后，一直困扰着她的疼痛慢慢减轻了。根据空格前的介词after可知，此处用提示词的动名词形式作介词的宾语。故填practising。
【33题详解】
考查介词。句意：29岁的宋是一名来自上海的健身视频博主，她在生活方式分享平台小红书上分享了自己学习太极拳后的变化。分析句意可知，此处用介词on表示“在”平台，或者介词through表示“通过平台”。故填on/through。
【34题详解】
考查名词。句意：除了每天打太极拳，她还将中国武术的元素融入到健身课程中。因为提示词 element是可数名词，且前面没有冠词，所以此处用名词的复数形式。故填elements。
【35题详解】
考查副词。句意：中国的太极拳作为一种身心锻炼和减压的方式越来越受欢迎。分析句式结构可知，此处应该用提示词的副词形式increasingly作状语修饰形容词popular。故填increasingly。
【36题详解】

【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：此外，太极拳还影响了其他的健身运动，比如“太极跑”，它将太极技术与跑步相结合，以促进伤害预防和专注。分析句意可知，此处是非限制性定语从句，先行词ChiRunning是物，关系词替代先行词在从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which来引导。故填which。
【40题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：同上。分析句意可知，此处表目的，所以用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to promote。
【41题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：这种传统智慧与现代生活方式的融合反映了人们越来越有兴趣通过太极拳和相关实践来理解生命的深层意义。分析句意可知，本句的时态为一般现在时，又因为主语This integration是第三人称单数，所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填reflects。

第四部分 写作（25分）
52. 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 begged my mom to let me make cookies by myself. Even though I had never attempted baking before, I was nine years old and my friend Emmie had been baking cupcakes by herself for a year. I was determined to prove that I could make it.
My brother, Caleb, laughed at the idea of me cooking alone, calling it a disaster. Having a big brother can be annoying. Despite his laughing, my mom agreed to let me try. She reminded me to take my time and be careful because I’d had some messy spills before I was nine.
I raced to the kitchen and went to work. I cracked eggs and put a cold stick of butter into the bowl. I turned on the mixer at medium speed—and whoa. Whoa. Whoa! What a disaster! I had to wipe butter off my face, then off the table and floor.
Caleb made fun of me again, calling me a mess. I chased him away with a spoon and turned back to the mixing bowl. I started again with softer butter. Referring to the recipe, I poured everything needed into the bowl and mixed it. After that, I put round batter (面糊) onto the cookie sheet and put it into the oven (烤箱). Within a minute, a fantastic smell filled the kitchen—the smell of cookie success!
I was going to prove that I was responsible. No more eye-rolling from my brother. No more “You’re too young” from my parents. I was grown up and in control.
I stared into the oven, and my heart sank. The neat, little balls had melted (融化) and overflowed to the edges of the cookie sheet. I pulled the pan out just as Caleb wandered back into the kitchen.
“What in the world ” He started to laugh. “Cookie soup ”
“You just be quiet,” I whispered, trying not to cry. “Just leave me alone.”
“How’s it going in there ” Dad called from the living room.
Caleb raised his eyebrows and bit his lip. I responded that everything was fine, pouring the melted batter into the bowl quickly.
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。
Paragraph 1: I picked up the directions, wondering what had gone wrong．

Paragraph 2: I brought a plate of cookies into the living room for my parents．
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
I picked up the directions, wondering what had gone wrong. It was then that I realized I had forgotten to add the flour! The batter had been too runny, causing the cookies to spread out. I quickly mixed in the flour and spooned the batter onto a new cookie sheet. This time, I watched carefully as they rose and browned in the oven. The sweet aroma filled the kitchen, and my heart beat with excitement. I couldn’t wait to show my family what I had accomplished. Caleb sneaked in and raised his eyebrows, but this time, I just smiled confidently.
Paragraph 2:
I brought a plate of cookies into the living room for my parents. They looked surprised and delighted. “These are…yours ” Mom asked, taking a cautious bite. “They’re…amazing!” She smiled, and Dad nodded in agreement. Caleb sat on the couch, a cookie in his hand, and his face betrayed a hint of pride. “I told you she could do it,” he said with a grin. I beamed, feeling a sense of accomplishment wash over me. I had proved myself, not just to my family but to myself. From that day on, no one doubted my baking skills again.

In a post shared on Twitter last Monday, the woman, Amy Clukey, explained that her dad, a beekeeper, died of lung cancer about nine years ago. But, before passing away, he wrote a note that he hoped one of his children would later find, and finally after so long, her little brother, who is now 16 years old, found it in his father’s beekeeping clothes.
The note said “I hope one of my children is curious about beekeeping. Beekeeping is actually pretty easy and you can learn everything online. So don’t be afraid, have courage. Good luck. Love Dad.”
Amy explained that her father bought a farm when he was in his 40s, and it was then that he took up beekeeping and other hobbies like raising cattle and horses. She added, “When he was diagnosed(诊断) with stage 4 lung cancer, the doctors told him that he had 18 months to live. He was a fighter. He lived 5 years and a week after his diagnosis.”
The post has received over 42, 800 likes, 2,333 comments, and 749,000 re-shares in less than 24 hours, and in the comments, the woman added that while she doesn’t do beekeeping herself, two of her brothers are interested in it.
One user commented, “I lost my dad in 2018. This post makes me cry.” And another user said, “My dad is in the last few weeks of his life battling cancer. I’ll come back to the post in a couple of months when I need it again.” And one also shared the story of her personal loss, writing, “I lost my husband half a year ago.

Before the year has even come to a close, climate experts are certain that 2023 will be the hottest year in recorded history.
On Dec. 6 the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) — part of the European Union’s space program — revealed that this year’s average global temperatures have been 2.6 F (1.46 C) higher than temperatures in preindustrial times and 0.2 F (0.13 C) higher than January to November in 2016. These “extraordinary” temperatures mean that 2023 will be “the warmest year in recorded history,” C3S deputy director Samantha Burgess said in a statement.
The researchers note that this year’s record heat was partly caused by the latest El Nino event—a phenomenon where warmer water near the equator triggers warmer global air temperatures—that began in June. Some other experts have suggested that the January 2022 eruption of Tonga’s underwater volcano, which pumped record levels of water vapor into the atmosphere, may also be partly responsible.
Despite these factors, the major cause of climbing temperatures is global warming caused by runaway greenhouse gas emissions, which, noted in a C3S statement, have trapped more than 25 billion atomic bombs’ worth of energy in our atmosphere over the last 50 years. And still worse, the global carbon emissions have reached a new high this year, according to scientists at the United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP28) On Dec 4.
The effects of global warming are becoming more obvious. In 2023 research revealed that climate change is causing major US cities to sink and more than half of the world’s largest lakes and reservoirs to shrink. Studies also predicted that the Gulf Stream, which plays a vital role in ocean circulation, could collapse by as early as 2025, and that rising sea levels could swamp the US coastline by 2050.
However, scientists say that we still have time to prevent further disaster. Leading climate change expert Michael Mann, from the University of Pennsylvania, recently wrote that “we can still stop the worst effects of climate change” if we stop emitting greenhouse gases as soon as possible.
8. Which is the main factor in causing the warmest weather in 2023
A. Eruption of an underwater volcano. B. Greenhouse gas emissions.
C. Collapse of the Gulf Stream. D. The latest El Nino event.
9. What is Paragraph 5 mainly about
A. Scientists’ predictions of the technology. B. The threat of rising sea levels to the U.S.
C. The effects of climate change. D. Different opinions on global warming.
10. How does Michael Mann feel about the present situation
A. Confused. B. Worried. C. Pessimistic. D. Hopeful.
11. What does the underlined word “emitting” mean in the last paragraph
A. Release. B. Prevent. C. Reduce. D. Seek.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Resilience (适应力) is the ability to renew from hardship and possibly also grow stronger in the process. ____12____ When we face difficulties, instead of giving in to desperation, we can choose, as hard as it may seem in the moment, to accept resilience. This means recognizing our own inner strength and determination to overcome challenges.
____13____ Of course it forces us to face our fears and doubts. Each time we tolerate a difficult experience, we build resilience, making us better equipped to handle future challenges.
Turning hardest moments into learning opportunities requires self-reflection.

As long as we obtain learning, understanding, and insight from it, they can become gifts and sources of strength and wisdom over time.
Life’s challenges often bring us into contact with the suffering of others. Experiencing hardship can promote empathy for those with similar difficulties. This newfound empathy can lead to a desire to help and support others. Turning our pain into an opportunity to connect with others on a deeper level can be incredibly rewarding. ____15____
As irony as this may sound, life would be incredibly boring and possibly meaningless if we had no problems to solve. Difficult moments often require us to think critically and find solutions to complex problems in ways we wouldn’t otherwise. ____16____ When we encounter obstacles (障碍)”, we are pushed to explore new views, seek creative solutions. Without obstacles, we wouldn’t ever discover what we’re truly capable of and a lot of our potential would be wasted.

第四部分 写作（25分）
52. 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 begged my mom to let me make cookies by myself. Even though I had never attempted baking before, I was nine years old and my friend Emmie had been baking cupcakes by herself for a year. I was determined to prove that I could make it.
My brother, Caleb, laughed at the idea of me cooking alone, calling it a disaster. Having a big brother can be annoying. Despite his laughing, my mom agreed to let me try. She reminded me to take my time and be careful because I’d had some messy spills before I was nine.
I raced to the kitchen and went to work. I cracked eggs and put a cold stick of butter into the bowl. I turned on the mixer at medium speed—and whoa. Whoa. Whoa! What a disaster! I had to wipe butter off my face, then off the table and floor.
Caleb made fun of me again, calling me a mess. I chased him away with a spoon and turned back to the mixing bowl. I started again with softer butter. Referring to the recipe, I poured everything needed into the bowl and mixed it. After that, I put round batter (面糊) onto the cookie sheet and put it into the oven (烤箱). Within a minute, a fantastic smell filled the kitchen—the smell of cookie success!
I was going to prove that I was responsible. No more eye-rolling from my brother. No more “You’re too young” from my parents. I was grown up and in control.
I stared into the oven, and my heart sank. The neat, little balls had melted (融化) and overflowed to the edges of the cookie sheet. I pulled the pan out just as Caleb wandered back into the kitchen.
“What in the world ” He started to laugh. “Cookie soup ”
“You just be quiet,” I whispered, trying not to cry. “Just leave me alone.”
“How’s it going in there ” Dad called from the living room.
Caleb raised his eyebrows and bit his lip. I responded that everything was fine, pouring the melted batter into the bowl quickly.
