（2024·安徽滁州·二模）Clara Daly was sitting on an Alaska Airlines flight from Boston to Los Angeles when she heard a worried voice over the loudspeaker, “Does anyone on board know American Sign Language ”
Clara, 15 years old at that time, pressed the call button (按钮). An air hostess came by and explained the situation. “We have a passenger on the plane who’s blind and deaf,” she said. The passenger (乘客) seemed to want something, but he was traveling alone and the air hostesses couldn’t understand what he needed.
Clara had been studying ASL for the past year to help blind and deaf people and she knew she’d be able to finger spell into the man’s palm (手掌). So she rose from her seat, walked toward the front of the plane, and knelt (跪) by the seat of the old man named Tim Cook. Gently taking his hand, she signed, “How are you Are you OK ” Cook asked for some water.
When the water arrived, Clara returned to her seat. She came by again a bit later because he wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed for a while.
“He didn’t need anything. He was lonely and wanted to talk,” Clara said.
So for the next hour, she “talked” about her family and her plans for the future. Cook “told” Clara how he had become blind over time and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman. Even though he couldn’t see her, she “looked attentively at his face with such kindness”, a passenger reported.

（2024·辽宁盘锦·二模）Su Shi isn’t a strange name to us, as we learn his ci in textbooks. Su is one of the most popular ancient writers. He was good at almost all kinds of writings and art, including poems, ci and prose (散文) as well as calligraphy (书法) and painting. But Su was not only respected for his talents, but also for his positive attitude towards life.
When he was young, he passed the imperial examination (科举考试) and got a degree of Jinshi. After that, he became an official. Unluckily, Su was demoted (贬谪) to serve in far areas because of other officials’ bad words about him. But he was not too discouraged.
First, he went to Huangzhou, in today’s Hubei. There he tried to enjoy life in the countryside. He farmed a piece of land which he called Dongpo. This is why people call him Dongpo. It is also said that he invented Dongpo Pork, a famous Chinese dish, during this period. Many of his poems were written there, too. Including Tune: Calming the Waves. Its line “Impervious to wind, rain or shine, I’ll have my will (归去! 也无风雨也无晴)” showed his open-minded attitude.
Su was also demoted to Danzhou, in today’s Hainan. At the beginning, he couldn’t get used to the hot and wet weather. He couldn’t understand the local language. Instead of getting sad, he set up schools and got along well with the locals. Many people traveled from far places to visit him.
“Su is a great optimist (乐天派), a friend of people, a prose master.” writer Lin Yutang said in his book about Su.

（2024·辽宁盘锦·二模）Do you like to travel alone Or do you think it’s better to travel with friends If you’re still deciding, please read on. I will explain the advantages of both ways.
One of the great things about traveling alone is that you make the rules about where you go and what you eat. You’ll be surprised at what you discover about yourself without any influence.
Traveling alone really shows you what you’re made of and helps you to discover inner strength (内心的力量) you didn’t know you had. Besides, it also gives you time to think, learn and grow. When your eyes are wide open, you’ll get a whole new outlook on the world.
It’s easy to think that traveling alone is lonely. Although that may sometimes be true, you’re hardly ever alone. When you travel in a one-person team, this can provide a chance for you to enjoy the most interesting part of travel—communicating with the locals and meeting travelers from all corners of the world.
In fact, traveling to know more about the world is not easy. There’s research to be done, flights to be booked and choices to be made, not to mention that things can—and often do—go wrong. One of the main advantages of traveling with friends is being able to share these things and support each other through the process, even if it’s just someone who will wait with your bag when you go to the bathroom.
Just as your mother always says, it’s true that traveling with others can give you a sense of safety, especially if you’re new to travel. You know that if you get lost or have your wallet stolen, there’s someone to hold your hand when you try to explain your situation in a foreign police station.
There’s no right or wrong way to travel. Whether you travel alone or team up with friends, it depends on you.

C．By asking questions. D．By describing a scene.
10．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A．Traveling alone. B．Inner strength.
C．Outside influence. D．Traveling with others.
11．Traveling with friends has the following advantages EXCEPT _________.
A．sharing a lot of things B．knowing yourself better
C．getting support easily D．having a sense of safety
12．What’s the structure of the passage
A． B． C． D．

（2024·陕西宝鸡·二模）
As an old saying goes in Xunpu, Fujian province, “Put flowers in your hair in this life and you’ll also be pretty in the afterlife.” In the past, all the women in the small fishing village had long hair, and then they put colorful and special floral (花的) headdresses on their hair. The headdress is known as zanhua. Zanhua was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008.
As a child, Huang Rongbing would watch his mother comb (梳理) her long and thick hair. After forming a bun at the back of her head, she would put colorful lowers into her hair, the 34-year-old recalled.
The headdress inspired Huang’s career (职业) choice. In 2016, he and his older sister opened a salon. There, tourists can get their hair styled in the Xunpu tradition and have their photos taken. “We have been fully booked and now there are over 200 businesses offering services to dress tourists with a zanhua,” said Huang.
The increase in tourist visits has made Huang happy. That’s because it not only keeps the business busy but also helps spread the history and culture behind zanhua headwear.
After going through the full zanhua experience, Hu Titi, one of Huang’s customers, even brought zanhua culture to Paris in France last year. Under the Eifel Tower, she shot photos and videos of herself dressed in traditional Chinese clothes with a zanhua in her hair.
Huang said the women of Xunpu are hard-working, warm-hearted and brave. They are famous for catching the best seafood. “When they put a zanhua on their head, they express their wish for happiness. The flowers are seen as a symbol of hope,” he added.
13．In the first paragraph, we can find the answer to the question “ ________”.

（2024·山东枣庄·二模）
Do you do team projects at school I do a lot. I enjoy team projects because I like sharing ideas with other people. Of course, team activities aren’t always easy. You need to know how to work well together. Here are some suggestions to make team work easier.
Know the goals
Make sure everyone understands the goal of the project. If you’re doing a class project, you need to check the teacher’s instructions carefully and ask questions whenever something isn’t clear. There’s a popular saying: If you don’t know where you’re going, you probably won’t get there.
Assign (指派) roles
Everyone should have a role in the team. For example, there should be a leader who helps everyone make decisions. There might be a note-taker who writes down the team’s ideas during meetings, and a time-keeper to control the time. There might also be a fact-checker or a group speaker.
Divide the work
For large projects, the work can be divided into smaller tasks. Then you can choose tasks that you do well or enjoy. Of course, you shouldn’t always do the same task. It’s good to try new things, even if they’re difficult!
Make a plan
After you divide the work, write down a plan on paper. You can use a calendar to help you. List all the tasks and think about when each one must be finished. It’s important for everyone to follow the plan. And if you can’t finish your part on time, tell the others as soon as possible.
Try to be positive (积极的). Everything is easier when you’re enjoying yourself in the team.
17．What is the leader’s main job in the team
A．Controlling the activity time. B．Writing down the team’s ideas.
C．Helping the others make decisions. D．Making speeches for the team.
18．What should you do after dividing the work
A．Set a clear goal. B．Work out a pian.
C．Decide everyone’s role. D．Check the teacher’s examples.
19．What is the writer trying to do in the text
A．Introduce the teacher’s instructions.
B．Give information about smaller tasks.
C．Explain the method to do team projects.
D．Describe the importance of creative ideas.

（2024·北京·一模）Many people have taken part into lots of virtual (虚拟的) meetings these years. Some research shows this might not impact workplace productivity to any great degree. A new study, though, suggests otherwise.
In the study, 602 participants were paired and asked to come up with creative uses for a product. They were also selected to work together either in person or virtually. The pairs were then ranked by their total number of ideas, as well as those ideas’ degree of creativity, virtual pairs came up with significantly fewer ideas, while face-to-face interaction gave more creative ideas. The findings could stiffen employers’ determination to urge or require their employees to come back to the office.
“We ran this experiment based on feedback from companies that it was harder to innovate (创新) with remote workers,” said lead researcher Melanie Brucks. “Unlike other forms of virtual communication, videoconferencing copies the in-person experience quite well, so I was surprised when we found meaningful differences between in-person and video interaction for idea generation.”
When some objects were placed in both the virtual and physical rooms, the virtual pairs of participants spent more time looking directly at each other rather than looking around the room and taking in the entire scene. Eyeing one’s whole environment and noticing the objects were closely connected with increased idea generation. On platforms, the screen occupies our interactions. We don’t see around. “Looking away might come across as rude, so we have to look at the screen because that is the defined context of the interaction, the same way we wouldn’t walk to another room while talking to someone in person.”
Like most educators, Brucks has taught virtually in the past three years, and she did notice some benefits of the approach as well. Her students were more likely to take turns speaking and her shyer students spoke up more often, for her students felt “freer” and more creative when asked to do so. And this may be sound advice for the workplace.
Virtual teamwork can’t replace face-to-face teamwork. Idea selection proficiency (能力) is only valuable if you have strong options to select from, and face-to-face teams are the best means to generate winning options. Perhaps the workplace will find a sweet spot in the middle that balances working from both home and office.
20．What does the underlined word “stiffen” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean
A．Shake. B．Reconsider.
C．Challenge. D．Strengthen.
21．At first, lead researcher Melanie Brucks might think that ________.
A．videoconferencing can’t compare with in-person communication
B．participants should make eye contact in an online meeting
C．the feedback from companies seems questionable
D．creative ideas may emerge from casual thoughts
22．What can we learn about Brucks’ class
A．Her students have less anxiety by speaking up.
B．Her students progressed in focusing attention.
C．Her students took advantage of virtual learning.
D．Her students showed their talent for public speaking.
23．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A．Interacting Virtually Impacts Working Participation
B．Maintaining Teamwork Improves Idea Generation
C．Grouping Properly Increases Productivity
D．Brainstorming Online Limits Creativity

（2024·山东日照·二模）A large bison (野牛) stands on the tall green grasses. As he eats, a small brown bird lands upon his back and begins digging through the thick fur (皮毛). The bird is searching for small insects on the bison’s coat. This is a cowbird, and for thousands of years the cowbird and the bison have been partners. The bison provides a free meal for the cowbird. The cowbird offers a pest killing service in return.
There are many partnerships between sea animals. The brightly colored clownfish, for example, has an interesting relationship with the poisonous (有毒的) sea anemone (海葵). It has many long tentacles (触手). When a fish brushes the tentacles, the poison kills the fish. However the clownfish is able to swim among the deadly tentacles without harm. When threatened (威胁) by a bigger fish, the clownfish runs into the arms of the anemone. The bigger fish gets stung (叮咬) by the anemone. After the anemone eats its fill, the clownfish eats the leftovers. In this way, the clownfish helps to keep the anemone clean.
Amazing partnership can also be found in the insect world. For example, ants and aphids (蚜虫) help each other to survive. Aphids gather on the leaves and take in sap (汁液) from the plants. At the same time, they produce a kind of sugary water as waste from the plant. Ants like to eat this sweet waste, called honeydew. In exchange for the honeydew, ants protect the aphids against its enemies. Some ants actually build shelters (住所) for the aphids to hide at night. Others take care of aphid eggs till they are ready to come out.
This kind of partnership is called symbiosis. Symbiosis takes place among all kinds of animals. Scientists don’t fully understand how these animals discovered the benefits of working together. They continue to study animal partners in an effort to unlock the secret of symbiosis.
24．How does the writer develop his idea in this passage
A．By comparing facts. B．By raising questions.
C．By giving examples. D．By listing numbers.
25．What can the clownfish do
A．It can kill the bigger fish.
B．It can help keep the anemone clean.
C．It can keep the anemone from poison.
D．It can scare its enemies with its bright color.
26．What is the meaning of “symbiosis”
A．寄生 B．捕食 C．竞争 D．共生
27．What can we infer from this passage
A．The small bird hurts the bison by digging through its fur.
B．The clownfish runs into the arms of the anemone to keep safe.
C．The honeydew is a kind of sweet waste made by the ants.
D．It isn’t a secret that how animals benefit from working together.

（2024·天津和平·二模）Renée Forrestall had no idea what was in store for her when she decided to relearn roller skating in the days leading up to her 60th birthday. The high school art teacher soon bought a new pair of skates, but she thought they were nothing like the ones she had as a teenager. They were uncomfortable to wear.
So Forrestall decided to buy a vintage (老式的) pair, which were popular among younger skaters, but she was shocked to learn how much they cost. To find a less-expensive pair, she considered searching in online secondhand shops. A few days later, she received a notice informing her that a man named James Bond was hoping to sell an old pair of skates for $40. Bond had no idea what size they were, but he posted a picture of them next to a ruler, showing that they were about 25cm long.
It seemed to be the right size for Forrestall: So she immediately reached out to Bond. Two days later, she drove to Bond’s house and learned that the skates had been sitting in his basement (地下室) for many years. They looked very dirty and yellowed with age; the laces (鞋带) were missing and the wheels were rock-hard.
But none of that mattered when Forrestall tried them on. She slid her feet into them and they fitted like a glove. She was very surprised at how they felt just like the skates that her mother bought for her years earlier. When pulling off the skates, Forrestall was shocked to see her name written in black marker inside them. She quickly recalled how she used to skate by herself for hours on end as a teenager while trying to heal (恢复) from the “personal loss” she suffered at the time. She always regretted selling them at a yard sale.
Finally, Forrestall bought the “old” pair of skates and repaired them.

（2024·山东泰安·二模）
Scientists have developed a way to read minds, translating unspoken thoughts into written words. It’s the first time it’s been done without having to put anything into the brain. They used artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能). It is the name given to a computer system that is able to “think” for itself and carry out tasks that usually require human intelligence.
Scientists used a special scanner (扫描器). The machine can see where blood runs, which shows the parts of the brain that are most active. People taking part in the experiment (实验) listened to the radio for 16 hours as their brains were scanned. The AI tool learned to connect certain brain activity with words they heard. After that, each person was asked to think of a story, and the AI tool managed to pick up these thoughts as they happened.
The results had about a 50% accuracy rate (准确率), although the AI found it hard to work out the meaning of pronouns, such as he or she, her or him. For example, it turned “I don’t have my driver’s license yet” into “She has not even started to learn to drive yet.” It could usually understand the meaning of what someone was thinking rather than the exact words. The AI was personalized, so when it had learned from one person but it was tested on another, it couldn’t understand their thoughts.
The scientists, who have been working on the technology for 15 years, say they understand the risks of it being used badly. Scientist Jerry Tang told a newspaper, “We want to make sure people only use these types of technologies when they want to, and that it helps them.”The scientists hope it will help people with certain medical conditions, who are still awake but have lost the ability to speak, to communicate once again.
33．What is the main purpose of paragraph 2
A．To describe the process of the experiment. B．To explain the results of the experiment.
C．To offer some opinions about the experiment. D．To list the difficulties with the experiment.
34．What does the example in paragraph 3 show
A．The AI is much cleverer than people.
B．The AI didn’t start the work as it was ordered.
C．The AI couldn’t understand the exact words of what people thought.
D．The AI will be well developed according to people’s special needs.
35．What can we learn from the text
A．It is not difficult to take AI under control.
B．AI will not be used in a proper way in the future.
C．AI is so wise that it can treat people with medical problems.
D．It’s expected that AI will help those speechless exchange ideas.
36．What can be the best title for the text
A．High Risks of Using AI B．Mind-Reading Development
C．Importance of Human Brain D．Ways of Improving Technology

Eating and drinking in China can be an enjoyable cultural experience. However, there are likely to be many surprises along the way. We would like to prepare you for, and even warn you of, the main differences between eating and drinking in China and in the West.
Be prepared for your Chinese host placing food in your bowl, usually without even asking. The host will often put chicken legs or other parts of the meal in the guest’s bowl. Though Westerners may see this as interfering (干涉) with one’s independence and personal space, it is a sign of hospitality (好客) in China.
Though in the West it is sometimes considered rude to put one’s elbows on the dining table, this is quite acceptable in China, especially when eating noodles. However, you may want to avoid this in some restaurants. Using your own antiseptic wipes (消毒湿巾) may help to put your mind at ease in some situations.
In China it is also common practice to spit things out on the table or the floor. However, in more upper-market restaurants in China or in the West, people usually use one of the methods below rather than spitting. Using chopsticks, forks, or tissues (餐巾纸) is a polite way around the problem. You might want to ask for a side plate or an extra bowl for the bones (骨头), etc. Be warned if seeing piles of things that came out of someone’s mouth may put you off your food. You may want to order dishes with no bones.
We realize Westerners usually come to China to experience things you don’t have at home. Our customers usually want to eat different things. If you want to enjoy Chinese food and experience the eating and drinking in China, see our recommended (被推荐的) China tours.
37．What can we infer from the paragraph 2-3
A．It’s a sign of hospitality in China when the host puts a chicken leg in your bowl.
B．Chinese hosts want to interfere with your personal space when they place food in your bowls.
C．Westerners usually put their elbows on the table.
D．Chinese always put their elbows on the dinner table.
38．What does the underlined word “spit” in paragraph 4 mean
A．扔掉 B．吐出 C．收拾 D．发泄
39．Which one is more unacceptable for westerners when eating something with bones
A．Asking for a side plate. B．Spitting on the ground.
C．Using tissues. D．Asking for an extra bowl.
40．What is the main idea of the passage
A．Westerners want to enjoy eating and drinking in China.
B．There are many surprises in China.
C．Major different table manners between China and Western countries.
D．Westerners usually come to China to experience things you don’t have at home

（2024·安徽滁州·二模）I used to be quiet and didn’t like others to notice me. And if I was not told to have a seat by the teacher, I always 41 to sit at the back of the classroom.
All this changed after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested that I joined the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy idea because I didn’t have a good sense of sports, and I didn’t have the 42 to keep up with the others in the team and they would laugh at me. But because the teacher kept encouraging me, I decided to give it a 43 .
Getting up the 44 to try was only the half of it! When I first started 45 the practice courses, I didn’t even know the rules of the game. Sometimes I’d get confused (迷惑的) and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really silly. 46 , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to learn the game, do my best at each practice course, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t know.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the 47 and the “moves”. Being part of a team was not so difficult. Very soon the exciting part for me was WINNING 48 I didn’t have enough confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends. I never had so much fun!
With more self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from “ 49 ” in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, 50 raising my hand—even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent sure I had the right answer.

（2024·安徽滁州·二模）Clara Daly was sitting on an Alaska Airlines flight from Boston to Los Angeles when she heard a worried voice over the loudspeaker, “Does anyone on board know American Sign Language ”
Clara, 15 years old at that time, pressed the call button (按钮). An air hostess came by and explained the situation. “We have a passenger on the plane who’s blind and deaf,” she said. The passenger (乘客) seemed to want something, but he was traveling alone and the air hostesses couldn’t understand what he needed.
Clara had been studying ASL for the past year to help blind and deaf people and she knew she’d be able to finger spell into the man’s palm (手掌). So she rose from her seat, walked toward the front of the plane, and knelt (跪) by the seat of the old man named Tim Cook. Gently taking his hand, she signed, “How are you Are you OK ” Cook asked for some water.
When the water arrived, Clara returned to her seat. She came by again a bit later because he wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed for a while.
“He didn’t need anything. He was lonely and wanted to talk,” Clara said.
So for the next hour, she “talked” about her family and her plans for the future. Cook “told” Clara how he had become blind over time and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman. Even though he couldn’t see her, she “looked attentively at his face with such kindness”, a passenger reported.
“Clara was amazing,” an air hostess said in an interview. “You could tell Cook was very excited to have someone he could speak to, and she was such an angel.”
1．What was the air hostesses’ problem
A．They had a very difficult passenger. B．They couldn’t understand the passenger.
C．They didn’t know the passenger’s name. D．They didn’t have what the passenger wanted.
2．Why did Clara Daly believe she could help
A．Because she happened to learn some ASL.
B．Because she had helped people like Cook.
C．Because she thought she might know Cook.
D．Because her grandfather had the same problem.
3．Why did Tim Cook keep asking for service
A．Because he was hungry and thirsty. B．Because he needed someone to talk to.
C．Because he was afraid of taking planes. D．Because he was interested in Clara’s story.

A．Beautiful and lovely. B．Outgoing and friendly.

2．细节理解题。根据“Clara had been studying ASL for the past year to help blind and deaf people and she knew she’d be able to finger spell into the man’s palm (手掌).”可知，因为Clara学过手语，故选A。
3．细节理解题。根据“He didn’t need anything. He was lonely and wanted to talk”可知，是因为他很孤独，想要有人和他说话。故选B。
4．推理判断题。根据“When the water arrived, Clara returned to her seat. She came by again a bit later because he wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed for a while.”及“So for the next hour, she ‘talked’ about her family and her plans for the future.

（2024·辽宁盘锦·二模）Su Shi isn’t a strange name to us, as we learn his ci in textbooks. Su is one of the most popular ancient writers. He was good at almost all kinds of writings and art, including poems, ci and prose (散文) as well as calligraphy (书法) and painting. But Su was not only respected for his talents, but also for his positive attitude towards life.
When he was young, he passed the imperial examination (科举考试) and got a degree of Jinshi. After that, he became an official. Unluckily, Su was demoted (贬谪) to serve in far areas because of other officials’ bad words about him. But he was not too discouraged.
First, he went to Huangzhou, in today’s Hubei. There he tried to enjoy life in the countryside. He farmed a piece of land which he called Dongpo. This is why people call him Dongpo. It is also said that he invented Dongpo Pork, a famous Chinese dish, during this period. Many of his poems were written there, too. Including Tune: Calming the Waves. Its line “Impervious to wind, rain or shine, I’ll have my will (归去! 也无风雨也无晴)” showed his open-minded attitude.
Su was also demoted to Danzhou, in today’s Hainan. At the beginning, he couldn’t get used to the hot and wet weather. He couldn’t understand the local language. Instead of getting sad, he set up schools and got along well with the locals. Many people traveled from far places to visit him.
“Su is a great optimist (乐天派), a friend of people, a prose master.” writer Lin Yutang said in his book about Su.
5．_________ is not mentioned about Su Shi’s talent.
A．Ci B．Painting C．Singing D．Poems
6．The underlined word “discouraged” in Paragraph 3 means _________.
A．disappointed B．confident C．surprised D．embarrassed
7．_________is the correct order of Su Shi’s experiences.
①He was demoted to Huangzhou. ②He invented Dongpo Pork.
③He got a degree of Jinshi. ④He set up schools in Danzhou.
A．①②③④ B．②①④③ C．③①②④ D．③②①④
8．What we can learn from Su Shi’s experiences
A．We should work hard to avoid ups and downs.
B．We should try our best to help others.
C．We should ask friends for help when we are down.
D．We should stay positive when facing difficulties.
【答案】5．C 6．A 7．C 8．D
【解析】本文主要介绍了中国古代文学家苏轼的生平和成就，告诉我们在面对困难时应该保持积极的态度。
5．细节理解题。根据“He was good at almost all kinds of writings and art, including poems, ci and prose (散文) as well as calligraphy (书法) and painting.”可知，苏轼几乎擅长各种文字和艺术，包括诗歌、词和散文， 以及书法和绘画，可知文中没有提到苏轼会唱歌。故选C。
6．词义猜测题。根据“Unluckily, Su was demoted (贬谪) to serve in far areas because of other officials’ bad words about him.”可知，由于其他官员说他的坏话，苏轼被降职到偏远地区服役。转折词“but”后表达的与实际被贬后心情相反的意思，结合“not …”可猜测，下划线“discouraged”意为“沮丧的，灰心丧气的”。故选A。
7．细节理解题。第二段“When he was young, he passed the imperial examination (科举考试) and got a degree of Jinshi.”讲述了苏轼年轻时通过了科举考试，获得了进士学位；第三段“First, he went to Huangzhou, in today’s Hubei. There he tried to enjoy life in the countryside.”讲述了苏轼被贬后首先去了黄州；又根据“It is also said that he invented Dongpo Pork, a famous Chinese dish, during this period.”可知，苏轼在这一时期发明了著名的中国菜东坡肉；第四段“Instead of getting sad, he set up schools and got along well with the locals.”介绍了苏轼被贬后在儋州的生活。由此可知，其正确的顺序应为：③①②④。故选C。
8．推理判断题。根据“But Su was not only respected for his talents, but also for his positive attitude towards life.”以及全文都在描述苏轼被贬后依然积极面对人生的态度，可总结出我们在面对困难时也应该保持积极的态度。故选D。

（2024·辽宁盘锦·二模）Do you like to travel alone Or do you think it’s better to travel with friends If you’re still deciding, please read on. I will explain the advantages of both ways.
One of the great things about traveling alone is that you make the rules about where you go and what you eat. You’ll be surprised at what you discover about yourself without any influence.
Traveling alone really shows you what you’re made of and helps you to discover inner strength (内心的力量) you didn’t know you had. Besides, it also gives you time to think, learn and grow. When your eyes are wide open, you’ll get a whole new outlook on the world.
It’s easy to think that traveling alone is lonely. Although that may sometimes be true, you’re hardly ever alone. When you travel in a one-person team, this can provide a chance for you to enjoy the most interesting part of travel—communicating with the locals and meeting travelers from all corners of the world.
In fact, traveling to know more about the world is not easy. There’s research to be done, flights to be booked and choices to be made, not to mention that things can—and often do—go wrong. One of the main advantages of traveling with friends is being able to share these things and support each other through the process, even if it’s just someone who will wait with your bag when you go to the bathroom.
Just as your mother always says, it’s true that traveling with others can give you a sense of safety, especially if you’re new to travel. You know that if you get lost or have your wallet stolen, there’s someone to hold your hand when you try to explain your situation in a foreign police station.
There’s no right or wrong way to travel. Whether you travel alone or team up with friends, it depends on you.
9．How does the writer introduce the topic of the passage in Paragraph 1
A．By telling a story. B．By giving examples.
C．By asking questions. D．By describing a scene.
10．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A．Traveling alone. B．Inner strength.
C．Outside influence. D．Traveling with others.
11．Traveling with friends has the following advantages EXCEPT _________.
A．sharing a lot of things B．knowing yourself better
C．getting support easily D．having a sense of safety
12．What’s the structure of the passage
A． B． C． D．
【答案】9．C 10．A 11．B 12．A
【解析】本文主要介绍了独自旅行以及和朋友旅行的优点。
9．细节理解题。根据“Do you like to travel alone Or do you think it’s better to travel with friends ”可知，作者通过两个问题引出本文的话题。故选C。
10．词句猜测题。根据“Traveling alone really shows you what you’re made of and helps you to discover inner strength (内心的力量) you didn’t know you had. Besides, it also gives you time to think, learn and grow”可知，独自旅行真的向你展示了自己的本质，并帮助你发现内心的力量，它也给你思考、学习和成长的时间，故此处it指代“独自旅行”。故选A。
11．细节理解题。根据“One of the main advantages of traveling with friends is being able to share these things and support each other through the process”可知，与朋友一起旅行的主要优势之一是能够分享这些东西，并在整个过程中相互支持；根据“Just as your mother always says, it’s true that traveling with others can give you a sense of safety, especially if you’re new to travel.”可知，与他人一起旅行确实能给你一种安全感。故选B。
12．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段引出文章的主题；第二至第四段介绍独自旅行的优点；第五至第六段介绍和朋友旅行的优点；第七段进行总结。故选A。

（2024·陕西宝鸡·二模）
As an old saying goes in Xunpu, Fujian province, “Put flowers in your hair in this life and you’ll also be pretty in the afterlife.” In the past, all the women in the small fishing village had long hair, and then they put colorful and special floral (花的) headdresses on their hair. The headdress is known as zanhua. Zanhua was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008.
As a child, Huang Rongbing would watch his mother comb (梳理) her long and thick hair. After forming a bun at the back of her head, she would put colorful lowers into her hair, the 34-year-old recalled.
The headdress inspired Huang’s career (职业) choice. In 2016, he and his older sister opened a salon. There, tourists can get their hair styled in the Xunpu tradition and have their photos taken. “We have been fully booked and now there are over 200 businesses offering services to dress tourists with a zanhua,” said Huang.
The increase in tourist visits has made Huang happy. That’s because it not only keeps the business busy but also helps spread the history and culture behind zanhua headwear.
After going through the full zanhua experience, Hu Titi, one of Huang’s customers, even brought zanhua culture to Paris in France last year. Under the Eifel Tower, she shot photos and videos of herself dressed in traditional Chinese clothes with a zanhua in her hair.
Huang said the women of Xunpu are hard-working, warm-hearted and brave. They are famous for catching the best seafood. “When they put a zanhua on their head, they express their wish for happiness. The flowers are seen as a symbol of hope,” he added.
13．In the first paragraph, we can find the answer to the question “ ________”.
A．What do Xunpu villagers believe in
B．When did the visitors go to Xunpu
C．How old is the flower-wearing tradition in Xunpu
D．Why did the tradition become popular online
14．In Xunpu, women are well-known for _________ according to the passage.

（2024·山东枣庄·二模）
Do you do team projects at school I do a lot. I enjoy team projects because I like sharing ideas with other people. Of course, team activities aren’t always easy. You need to know how to work well together. Here are some suggestions to make team work easier.
Know the goals
Make sure everyone understands the goal of the project. If you’re doing a class project, you need to check the teacher’s instructions carefully and ask questions whenever something isn’t clear. There’s a popular saying: If you don’t know where you’re going, you probably won’t get there.
Assign (指派) roles
Everyone should have a role in the team. For example, there should be a leader who helps everyone make decisions. There might be a note-taker who writes down the team’s ideas during meetings, and a time-keeper to control the time. There might also be a fact-checker or a group speaker.
Divide the work
For large projects, the work can be divided into smaller tasks. Then you can choose tasks that you do well or enjoy. Of course, you shouldn’t always do the same task. It’s good to try new things, even if they’re difficult!
Make a plan
After you divide the work, write down a plan on paper. You can use a calendar to help you. List all the tasks and think about when each one must be finished. It’s important for everyone to follow the plan. And if you can’t finish your part on time, tell the others as soon as possible.
Try to be positive (积极的). Everything is easier when you’re enjoying yourself in the team.
17．What is the leader’s main job in the team
A．Controlling the activity time. B．Writing down the team’s ideas.
C．Helping the others make decisions. D．Making speeches for the team.
18．What should you do after dividing the work
A．Set a clear goal. B．Work out a pian.
C．Decide everyone’s role. D．Check the teacher’s examples.
19．What is the writer trying to do in the text
A．Introduce the teacher’s instructions.
B．Give information about smaller tasks.
C．Explain the method to do team projects.
D．Describe the importance of creative ideas.
【答案】17．C 18．B 19．C
【解析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了使团队协作变得更容易的方法。
17．细节理解题。根据“For example, there should be a leader who helps everyone make decisions.”可知，领导者的主要职责是帮助其他成员做决定。故选C。
18．细节理解题。根据“After you divide the work, write down a plan on paper.”可知，分配好工作后，应该制定计划。故选B。
19．主旨大意题。根据“Of course, team activities aren’t always easy. You need to know how to work well together. Here are some suggestions to make team work easier.”可知，本文主要介绍了使团队协作变得更容易的方法。故选C。

（2024·北京·一模）Many people have taken part into lots of virtual (虚拟的) meetings these years. Some research shows this might not impact workplace productivity to any great degree. A new study, though, suggests otherwise.
In the study, 602 participants were paired and asked to come up with creative uses for a product. They were also selected to work together either in person or virtually. The pairs were then ranked by their total number of ideas, as well as those ideas’ degree of creativity, virtual pairs came up with significantly fewer ideas, while face-to-face interaction gave more creative ideas. The findings could stiffen employers’ determination to urge or require their employees to come back to the office.
“We ran this experiment based on feedback from companies that it was harder to innovate (创新) with remote workers,” said lead researcher Melanie Brucks. “Unlike other forms of virtual communication, videoconferencing copies the in-person experience quite well, so I was surprised when we found meaningful differences between in-person and video interaction for idea generation.”
When some objects were placed in both the virtual and physical rooms, the virtual pairs of participants spent more time looking directly at each other rather than looking around the room and taking in the entire scene. Eyeing one’s whole environment and noticing the objects were closely connected with increased idea generation. On platforms, the screen occupies our interactions. We don’t see around. “Looking away might come across as rude, so we have to look at the screen because that is the defined context of the interaction, the same way we wouldn’t walk to another room while talking to someone in person.”
Like most educators, Brucks has taught virtually in the past three years, and she did notice some benefits of the approach as well. Her students were more likely to take turns speaking and her shyer students spoke up more often, for her students felt “freer” and more creative when asked to do so. And this may be sound advice for the workplace.
Virtual teamwork can’t replace face-to-face teamwork. Idea selection proficiency (能力) is only valuable if you have strong options to select from, and face-to-face teams are the best means to generate winning options. Perhaps the workplace will find a sweet spot in the middle that balances working from both home and office.
20．What does the underlined word “stiffen” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean
A．Shake. B．Reconsider.
C．Challenge. D．Strengthen.
21．At first, lead researcher Melanie Brucks might think that ________.
A．videoconferencing can’t compare with in-person communication
B．participants should make eye contact in an online meeting
C．the feedback from companies seems questionable
D．creative ideas may emerge from casual thoughts
22．What can we learn about Brucks’ class
A．Her students have less anxiety by speaking up.
B．Her students progressed in focusing attention.
C．Her students took advantage of virtual learning.
D．Her students showed their talent for public speaking.
23．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A．Interacting Virtually Impacts Working Participation
B．Maintaining Teamwork Improves Idea Generation
C．Grouping Properly Increases Productivity
D．Brainstorming Online Limits Creativity
【答案】20．D 21．C 22．C 23．D
【解析】本文讲述这些年来，很多人参加了很多虚拟的会议。一些研究表明，这一变化可能不会影响生产率。然而，一项新的研究提出了相反的建议。
20．词句猜测题。根据“The findings could stiffen employers’ determination to urge or require their employees to come back to the office.”这一发现可能……雇主敦促或要求员工回到办公室的决心。结合所给词，应是使坚定。故选D。
21．推理判断题。根据第三段可知公司反馈远程工作者更难创新，所以他们组织实验来进行验证，结果发现面对面交流和视频互动在创意产生方面有明显的差异，首席研究员感到吃惊，由此推断，起初首席研究员可能认为公司的反馈有问题。故选C。
22．推理判断题。根据“Like most educators, Brucks has taught virtually in the past three years, and she did notice some benefits of the approach as well. Her students were more likely to take turns speaking and her shyer students spoke up more often, for her students felt ‘freer’ and more creative when asked to do so.”可知布鲁斯的虚拟课堂上，学生轮流发言，连害羞的学生也能经常发言，由此推知他的学生能充分利用虚拟学习。故选C。
23．最佳标题题。本文讲述这些年来，很多人参加了很多虚拟的会议。一些研究表明，这一变化可能不会影响生产率。然而，一项新的研究提出了相反的建议。他们认为虚拟会议不利于创新想法的产生。选项D“网上头脑风暴限制创造力”符合文章主旨。故选D。

（2024·山东日照·二模）A large bison (野牛) stands on the tall green grasses. As he eats, a small brown bird lands upon his back and begins digging through the thick fur (皮毛). The bird is searching for small insects on the bison’s coat. This is a cowbird, and for thousands of years the cowbird and the bison have been partners. The bison provides a free meal for the cowbird. The cowbird offers a pest killing service in return.
There are many partnerships between sea animals. The brightly colored clownfish, for example, has an interesting relationship with the poisonous (有毒的) sea anemone (海葵). It has many long tentacles (触手). When a fish brushes the tentacles, the poison kills the fish. However the clownfish is able to swim among the deadly tentacles without harm. When threatened (威胁) by a bigger fish, the clownfish runs into the arms of the anemone. The bigger fish gets stung (叮咬) by the anemone. After the anemone eats its fill, the clownfish eats the leftovers. In this way, the clownfish helps to keep the anemone clean.
Amazing partnership can also be found in the insect world. For example, ants and aphids (蚜虫) help each other to survive. Aphids gather on the leaves and take in sap (汁液) from the plants. At the same time, they produce a kind of sugary water as waste from the plant. Ants like to eat this sweet waste, called honeydew. In exchange for the honeydew, ants protect the aphids against its enemies. Some ants actually build shelters (住所) for the aphids to hide at night. Others take care of aphid eggs till they are ready to come out.
This kind of partnership is called symbiosis. Symbiosis takes place among all kinds of animals. Scientists don’t fully understand how these animals discovered the benefits of working together. They continue to study animal partners in an effort to unlock the secret of symbiosis.

（2024·天津和平·二模）Renée Forrestall had no idea what was in store for her when she decided to relearn roller skating in the days leading up to her 60th birthday. The high school art teacher soon bought a new pair of skates, but she thought they were nothing like the ones she had as a teenager. They were uncomfortable to wear.
So Forrestall decided to buy a vintage (老式的) pair, which were popular among younger skaters, but she was shocked to learn how much they cost. To find a less-expensive pair, she considered searching in online secondhand shops. A few days later, she received a notice informing her that a man named James Bond was hoping to sell an old pair of skates for $40. Bond had no idea what size they were, but he posted a picture of them next to a ruler, showing that they were about 25cm long.
It seemed to be the right size for Forrestall: So she immediately reached out to Bond. Two days later, she drove to Bond’s house and learned that the skates had been sitting in his basement (地下室) for many years. They looked very dirty and yellowed with age; the laces (鞋带) were missing and the wheels were rock-hard.
But none of that mattered when Forrestall tried them on. She slid her feet into them and they fitted like a glove. She was very surprised at how they felt just like the skates that her mother bought for her years earlier. When pulling off the skates, Forrestall was shocked to see her name written in black marker inside them. She quickly recalled how she used to skate by herself for hours on end as a teenager while trying to heal (恢复) from the “personal loss” she suffered at the time. She always regretted selling them at a yard sale.
Finally, Forrestall bought the “old” pair of skates and repaired them.
28．What subject did Forrestall teach at school
A．P. E. B．Art. C．Music. D．Marketing.
29．What did Forrestall know about the old skates at first
① Their price. ② Their colour ③Their length.
A．①③ B．②③ C．①② D．①②③
30．How might Forrestall feel when she first saw the skates
A．Scared. B．Excited. C．Surprised. D．Disappointed.
31．Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word “slid” in Paragraph 4
A．washed B．turned C．put D．held
32．Which of the following can best describe the story
A．One is never too old to learn. B．Never judge a book by its cover.
C．When in Rome, do as the Romans do. D．Whatever is meant for us will find its way to us.

【解析】本文主要讲述了Forrestall在网上看到一双旧溜冰鞋，想要买下，于是联系卖家，去了之后发现这双溜冰鞋竟然是自己十几岁时卖掉的那双。
28．细节理解题。根据“The high school art teacher soon bought a new pair of skates,”可知，她教美术，故选B。
29．细节理解题。根据“A few days later, she received a notice informing her that a man named James Bond was hoping to sell an old pair of skates for $40. Bond had no idea what size they were, but he posted a picture of them next to a ruler, showing that they were about 25cm long.”可知，她起初知道它们的价格和长度，故选A。
30．推理判断题。根据“They looked very dirty and yellowed with age; the laces (鞋带) were missing and the wheels were rock-hard.”可知，她看到它们的时候，它们很脏，随着时间的增长而发黄；鞋带不见了，轮子也像石头一样坚硬。所以可以推断她有点失望，故选D。
31．词义猜测题。根据“her feet into them and they fitted like a glove”可知，她应该把脚放入鞋子里，所以slid和put同义，故选C。
32．主旨大意题。根据“She was very surprised at how they felt just like the skates that her mother bought for her years earlier. When pulling off the skates, Forrestall was shocked to see her name written in black marker inside them. She quickly recalled how she used to skate by herself for hours on end as a teenager while trying to heal (恢复) from the ‘personal loss’ she suffered at the time. She always regretted selling them at a yard sale.”她很惊讶，这双鞋的感觉就像她妈妈几年前给她买的那双冰鞋。脱下冰鞋时，Forrestall震惊地看到冰鞋里面用黑色马克笔写着她的名字。她很快回忆起自己十几岁的时候，为了从当时遭受的“个人损失”中恢复过来，曾经连续几个小时独自滑冰。她总是后悔在庭院拍卖时把它们卖掉了。由此可知，D选项“任何属于我们的东西都会找到我们。”最符合，故选D。

Scientists have developed a way to read minds, translating unspoken thoughts into written words. It’s the first time it’s been done without having to put anything into the brain. They used artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能). It is the name given to a computer system that is able to “think” for itself and carry out tasks that usually require human intelligence.
Scientists used a special scanner (扫描器). The machine can see where blood runs, which shows the parts of the brain that are most active. People taking part in the experiment (实验) listened to the radio for 16 hours as their brains were scanned. The AI tool learned to connect certain brain activity with words they heard. After that, each person was asked to think of a story, and the AI tool managed to pick up these thoughts as they happened.
The results had about a 50% accuracy rate (准确率), although the AI found it hard to work out the meaning of pronouns, such as he or she, her or him. For example, it turned “I don’t have my driver’s license yet” into “She has not even started to learn to drive yet.” It could usually understand the meaning of what someone was thinking rather than the exact words. The AI was personalized, so when it had learned from one person but it was tested on another, it couldn’t understand their thoughts.
The scientists, who have been working on the technology for 15 years, say they understand the risks of it being used badly. Scientist Jerry Tang told a newspaper, “We want to make sure people only use these types of technologies when they want to, and that it helps them.”The scientists hope it will help people with certain medical conditions, who are still awake but have lost the ability to speak, to communicate once again.
33．What is the main purpose of paragraph 2
A．To describe the process of the experiment. B．To explain the results of the experiment.
C．To offer some opinions about the experiment. D．To list the difficulties with the experiment.
34．What does the example in paragraph 3 show
A．The AI is much cleverer than people.
B．The AI didn’t start the work as it was ordered.
C．The AI couldn’t understand the exact words of what people thought.
D．The AI will be well developed according to people’s special needs.
35．What can we learn from the text
A．It is not difficult to take AI under control.
B．AI will not be used in a proper way in the future.
C．AI is so wise that it can treat people with medical problems.
D．It’s expected that AI will help those speechless exchange ideas.
36．What can be the best title for the text
A．High Risks of Using AI B．Mind-Reading Development
C．Importance of Human Brain D．Ways of Improving Technology
【答案】33．A 34．C 35．D 36．B
【解析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了可以读取思想的人工智能技术。
33．推理判断题。通读第二段并根据其中的关键信息“Scientists used a special scanner (扫描器)...People...listened to the radio...The AI tool learned to...After that”可知，该段主要描述了实验的过程。故选A。
34．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It could usually understand the meaning of what someone was thinking rather than the exact words.”可知，本段举的例子说明人工智能不能理解人们想到的确切字词。故选C。
35．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The scientists hope it will help people with certain medical conditions, who are still awake but have lost the ability to speak, to communicate once again.”可知，通过这篇文章，我们了解到人们期待人工智能将帮助那些说不出话的人交流思想。故选D。
36．最佳标题题。根据通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了可以读取思想的人工智能技术，所以B选项“读心术的发展”最适合。故选B。

（2024·山东泰安·二模）
Eating and drinking in China can be an enjoyable cultural experience. However, there are likely to be many surprises along the way. We would like to prepare you for, and even warn you of, the main differences between eating and drinking in China and in the West.
Be prepared for your Chinese host placing food in your bowl, usually without even asking. The host will often put chicken legs or other parts of the meal in the guest’s bowl. Though Westerners may see this as interfering (干涉) with one’s independence and personal space, it is a sign of hospitality (好客) in China.
Though in the West it is sometimes considered rude to put one’s elbows on the dining table, this is quite acceptable in China, especially when eating noodles. However, you may want to avoid this in some restaurants. Using your own antiseptic wipes (消毒湿巾) may help to put your mind at ease in some situations.
In China it is also common practice to spit things out on the table or the floor. However, in more upper-market restaurants in China or in the West, people usually use one of the methods below rather than spitting. Using chopsticks, forks, or tissues (餐巾纸) is a polite way around the problem. You might want to ask for a side plate or an extra bowl for the bones (骨头), etc. Be warned if seeing piles of things that came out of someone’s mouth may put you off your food. You may want to order dishes with no bones.
We realize Westerners usually come to China to experience things you don’t have at home. Our customers usually want to eat different things. If you want to enjoy Chinese food and experience the eating and drinking in China, see our recommended (被推荐的) China tours.
37．What can we infer from the paragraph 2-3
A．It’s a sign of hospitality in China when the host puts a chicken leg in your bowl.
B．Chinese hosts want to interfere with your personal space when they place food in your bowls.
C．Westerners usually put their elbows on the table.
D．Chinese always put their elbows on the dinner table.
38．What does the underlined word “spit” in paragraph 4 mean
A．扔掉 B．吐出 C．收拾 D．发泄
39．Which one is more unacceptable for westerners when eating something with bones
A．Asking for a side plate. B．Spitting on the ground.
C．Using tissues. D．Asking for an extra bowl.
40．What is the main idea of the passage
A．Westerners want to enjoy eating and drinking in China.
B．There are many surprises in China.
C．Major different table manners between China and Western countries.
D．Westerners usually come to China to experience things you don’t have at home

All this changed after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested that I joined the basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy idea because I didn’t have a good sense of sports, and I didn’t have the 42 to keep up with the others in the team and they would laugh at me. But because the teacher kept encouraging me, I decided to give it a 43 .
Getting up the 44 to try was only the half of it! When I first started 45 the practice courses, I didn’t even know the rules of the game. Sometimes I’d get confused (迷惑的) and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really silly. 46 , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to learn the game, do my best at each practice course, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t know.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the 47 and the “moves”. Being part of a team was not so difficult. Very soon the exciting part for me was WINNING 48 I didn’t have enough confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends. I never had so much fun!
With more self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone from “ 49 ” in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, 50 raising my hand—even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent sure I had the right answer.

（2024·天津和平·二模）When my mother was pregnant (怀孕的), the first thing my father did was to buy a TV. It was 1957 and TVs were a new technology then. He thought that with a baby, they’d be going out a lot less and that he would need to find 71 at home.
