On February 20, the science fiction magazine Clarkesworld was forced to stop accepting any new articles from writers after it was flooded with AI-written stories.
“By the time we closed on the 20th, we had received 500 human-written stories and 700 AI-written ones,” said editor-in-chief Neil Clarke. “It was increasing at such a speed that we figured that by the end of the month, we would have doubled the number of articles we normally have. The rate had been growing from previous months, and we were concerned that we had to do something to stop it.”
Worries about AI misuse have frequently appeared in headlines recently, particularly since the launch of ChatGPT in November, 2022, which can not only answer a broad range of questions, but also create original poems and stories.
Clarke said magazines like his, which pay contributors for their work, were being targeted by people trying to make quick money. He said he had already spoken to editors of other magazines and that all of them had agreed to stop accepting AI-written articles. He also admitted that the humor of his sci-fi magazine being targeted by AI robots is not lost on him.
“You know, our mascot (吉祥物) is a robot. So we see the irony,” he said. “But the thing is that science fiction is often intended to give a warning to people. We don’t celebrate technology just because it exists. We want to make sure that we’re using it right. And there are some significant legal and moral issues around this technology that we’re not ready to accept.
Clarke said the magazine didn’t know how to deal with the issue, and part of the motivation to speak out was in the hope of finding some solutions. He also said the quality of the AI-written stories was very poor.
24. What’s the matter with the magazine Clarkesworld
A. It will close down forever. B. It was targeted by AI writers.
C. It stopped paying contributors. D. It has lost many good authors.
25. What can we infer about other magazines’ attitude to the AI-written stories
A. Disapproving. B. Favorable. C. Unknown. D. Tolerant.
26. What does Neil Clarke say about science fiction
A. It often intends to find some solutions.
B. It welcomes the existing new technologies.
C. It will accept AI-written stories in the near future.
D. It often tries to warn the dark side of technologies.
27. Where is this text most likely from
A. A notice. B. A science fiction. C. A news report. D. A book review.
C
3M and Discovery Education announced Sean Jiang from Gilman School as one of the top ten finalists from across the nation for the 2023 3M Young Scientist Challenge. It’s a competition that encourages students to identify an everyday problem and submit a video showing the science behind the solution he or she came up with.
14-year-old Jiang decided to help those who can’t see. Blind people had a hard time navigating (导航) objects that are medium to far range. So Jiang wanted to design something to give them a heads-up on obstacles (障碍) that may be incoming.
Jiang’s inspiration came from the powers of the hearing system. “I learned in school that bats and whales are able to use echolocation (回声定位) to help them navigate and just use their sense of hearing and I also saw on YouTube some very skilled blind people that use echolocation to help them walk,” said Jiang.
Jiang started with a virtual reality setting and then made it a reality. His creation uses a depth camera that can detect how close objects are, thus giving enough time to dodge the obstacles. When a blind is walking with the device, the sensor of the depth camera gathers the information regarding the obstacles’ position and distance. Then the AI system in it will turn the distance data into musical sound guidance. This could significantly increase the walking speed of a blind person as well as decrease the number of obstacles they hit.
Some other similar programs were alright at finding objects that were in close range, but Jiang still wanted the blind to experience the world even fuller so they were able to see stuff that was much further away than their circle of reach.
In October, the top ten finalists will compete in person in Minneapolis for the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist” and a $ 25, 000 prize.
28. What can we learn about Jiang from the first two paragraphs
A. He was the champion of the 2023 3M event.
B. He invented technology to remove road obstacles.
C. He sought to assist the blind in walking smoothly.
D. He developed a new navigation app for his school.
29. Why did Jiang mention “echolocation”
A. To show the development of technology. B. To present the difficulties the blind face.
C. To stress the significance of hearing. D. To explain the inspiration of his invention.
30. What does the underlined word “dodge” mean in paragraph 4
A. Avoid. B. Encounter. C. Challenge. D. Remove.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. 3M facilities intended for the blind. B. A teen using sound to help the blind.
C. An invention to cure vision problems. D. A competition to improve the blind’s life.
D
Chinese Teapot Escaping from British Museum Goes Viral
Chinese state media has praised a viral video series telling the story of a jade teapot coming to life and fleeing the British Museum to make its way back home.
The set of three short videos, entitled Escape from the British Museum, shows the teapot turning into a young woman in a green dress, who then engages a London-based Chinese journalist to help her reunite with her family. It appears to have struck a chord (弦) in China after first being released by independent vloggers on Douyin. By Monday evening, it had reportedly received more than 310 million views. The plot line taps into growing Chinese criticism of the British Museum after reports last month that more than 1,500 priceless objects, including gold jewelry, semi-precious stones and glass, were missing, stolen or damaged.
In August the state media Global Times called for the return of Chinese artifacts from the museum “free of charge” in the wake of the controversy. “The huge holes in the management and security of cultural objects in the British Museum exposed by this scandal (丑闻) have led to the collapse of a long-standing and widely circulated claim that ‘foreign cultural objects are better protected in the British Museum’,” it said. It strongly supported the video series for touching on a “powerful message” about the importance of cultural heritage and reflecting “Chinese people’s desiring for the repatriation of the Chinese cultural relics.”
State broadcaster CCTV also gave the short films a glowing review saying: “We are very pleased to see Chinese young people are passionate about history and tradition... We are also looking forward to the early return of Chinese artifacts that have been displayed overseas.”
The museum scandal made headlines around the world and reawakened earlier demands by the Chinese media to restore the country’s relics. The new three-part show has triggered a wave of nationalism among viewers, with many praising the creative plot that reduced them to tears by showing how the teapot experienced the happiness of returning to China to see pandas and watch a flag-raising ceremony on Tiananmen Square.
32. What excuse does Britain give for keeping other nations’ cultural objects in its museum
A. It has taken possession of these objects by all lawful means.
B. These objects are safer and taken better care of in its museum.
C. It is requested by other nations to protect their cultural objects.
D. These objects may come to life, flee their countries and go viral.
33. What does the underlined word “repatriation”(Para.3) probably mean
A. Repair. B. Reflection. C. Reserve. D. Return.
34. Which of the following can we infer from the passage
A. China had already demanded the restoration of its cultural relics before the scandal.
B. The museum’s awful management and security systems are involved in the scandal.
C. The Britain Museum is under pressure to return the cultural relics to China sooner or later.
D. A London-based Chinese journalist has contributed a lot to the viral three-part video series.
35. What’s the purpose of the passage
A. To appeal to Britain to return China’s cultural objects.
B. To introduce a viral video series about a fleeing jade teapot.
C. To arouse readers’ concern about Chinese cultural objects abroad.
D. To praise Chinese young people’s passion for history and tradition.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Books often struggle to engage modern readers, and this can be especially true for nonfiction. For many people, it’s less exciting and less emotional than fiction. However, the problem may not be with nonfiction, but how they read it.
Some people start a nonfiction book but quit after reading a few chapters. They read probably because someone gives them the book or everyone is reading it. That’s not helpful to stay in a committed relationship with nonfiction. 36 No matter what yours is, write it down before starting to read. It’ll prepare your mind on what to look for in that book.
If you’re already a fiction reader, start with narrative nonfiction, which carries a strong storytelling element. This kind of writing is so engaging that you may almost forget the story being told is factual. 37 However, if you still feel burdened by an entire book, an anthology (选集) might be a perfect solution. As collections of shorter pieces, anthologies aim to bring together the best writing on a particular subject. 38 Once you’re drawn in, you’ll find more to read.
39 For those who prefer highlighting and taking notes, a physical book may be a nice choice. In contrast, e-books are ideal if portability (便携性) or the ability to adjust the text are your priorities. However, if you’re already a listener to nonfiction recorded programs, audio books might be the perfect fit for you.
Reading nonfiction can be challenging, but remember there’s always a book on the topic that interests you. It may be about historical events that shape our lives or stories where truth outshines fiction. 40
A. So it requires a personal insight into the book.
B. Some of the pieces are sure to grab your interest.
C. It’s a natural bridge between fiction and nonfiction.
D. Instead, you should have a clear objective of reading.
E. Reading habits affect our selections of nonfiction topics.
F. Choosing suitable formats is also key to enjoying nonfiction.
G. Whichever it is, the time spent on nonfiction can be rewarding.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Sean Royston, and his long-time friend, Tolin Annis had a tradition to head out for an expedition every other year. In 2016, they decided to kayak (划皮艇) the Rocks National Lakeshore, a challenging route on Lake Superior, teibentrti tuo bobson l rast ouodern.
On September 13, they loaded up on food and camping devices, climbed into their kayaks, and pushed off from a beach near the national park’s headquarters. They planned to return in a week. They moved through small waves and headed northeast. Soon the lake shore’s trademark cliffs (悬崖) began to rise on their right. Away from the shore, the head wind grew to the forecasted 10 knots — and kept rising. Still, they never considered turning around.
They had been rowing maybe 90 minutes when, quite suddenly, the waves grew to two metres and steepened. The wind rose to an intense 20 knots, putting them in danger of flipping over. “It went bad fast!” shouted Tolin, who was in the lead about 20 metres ahead of Sean. Meanwhile, the wind pushed them closer to the cliff, where the waves became even steeper and rolled them into the water.
Sean managed to get back to kayak, holding onto it for stability, and then paddled using his free hand. But he couldn’t make any progress against the strong wind. “My arms are giving out.” Sean thought to himself, “I gotta call now.” Using a VHF radio clipped to his life jacket, Sean called: “Mayday, two kayakers stuck.” But the tall cliffs blocked the signal from reaching anyone. When he raised his head, his friend had disappeared from sight. The man yelled to his friend at the top of his lungs, but there’s no reply.
Sean struggled until the waves finally pushed him away from the shoreline and farther out in the lake. Exhausted, he floated on his back and considered his options. Sean decided to turn downwind, towards the beach where they had launched that morning. It was 5 kilometers away. “I’m a swimmer.” Sean talked himself up and started kicking.
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。
Luckily, after about three hours, Sean saw the beach within reach. ___________________________________

M: The new app’s user drop-off rate is 70% after the first login. Any theories
W: Maybe the tutorial is too long. Users skip it and get confused about basic functions.
M: Good point. Let’s shorten it to 30 seconds and add pop-up tips instead. What else
W: The interface isn’t user-friendly. Teens prefer swipe gestures, but our buttons are tiny and hard to click.
M: Hmm. Redesign the layout with larger icons and add swipe features. We should also simplify the color scheme to make it cleaner.
W: Also, the loading screen takes 8 seconds. That’s ages for Gen Z! They expect instant responses.
M: Prioritize speed improvement. And add a progress bar with funny animations to reduce frustration.
W: Agreed. Should we test these changes in the beta version next week
M: Yes. Let’s also collect feedback through in-app surveys. Oh, and check if the payment process is smoother now.
W: Will do. If this works, our user stay rate should double by next month!

【原文】
M: There was a beautiful garden with some flowers and a tree. Both the flowers and the tree gave the place a wonderful look, and they were the pride of the gardener. But no one knows that the flowers and the tree couldn’t stand each other. The flowers hated the tree’s shadow, because it left them only just enough light to live. The tree, on the other hand, hated the flowers because they drank nearly all the water, leaving him just enough to live. The situation became so serious that the flowers decided to run out of all the water in the ground so that the tree would die. The tree fought back by not protecting the flowers from the hot sun, so they began to dry up. Soon the flowers were really weak, and the tree was drying up. The gardener wondered why and stopped watering them. When he did that, both the tree and the flowers realized that it was better to help each other. They learned how to live in harmony with those around them. So they decided to work together, using both the shade and the water to grow well. After seeing how well they were doing, the gardener gave the best care to the garden, watering and fertilizing (施肥于) it better than any other patch (小块土地) for miles around.

On February 20, the science fiction magazine Clarkesworld was forced to stop accepting any new articles from writers after it was flooded with AI-written stories.
“By the time we closed on the 20th, we had received 500 human-written stories and 700 AI-written ones,” said editor-in-chief Neil Clarke. “It was increasing at such a speed that we figured that by the end of the month, we would have doubled the number of articles we normally have. The rate had been growing from previous months, and we were concerned that we had to do something to stop it.”
Worries about AI misuse have frequently appeared in headlines recently, particularly since the launch of ChatGPT in November, 2022, which can not only answer a broad range of questions, but also create original poems and stories.
Clarke said magazines like his, which pay contributors for their work, were being targeted by people trying to make quick money. He said he had already spoken to editors of other magazines and that all of them had agreed to stop accepting AI-written articles. He also admitted that the humor of his sci-fi magazine being targeted by AI robots is not lost on him.
“You know, our mascot (吉祥物) is a robot. So we see the irony,” he said. “But the thing is that science fiction is often intended to give a warning to people. We don’t celebrate technology just because it exists. We want to make sure that we’re using it right. And there are some significant legal and moral issues around this technology that we’re not ready to accept.
Clarke said the magazine didn’t know how to deal with the issue, and part of the motivation to speak out was in the hope of finding some solutions. He also said the quality of the AI-written stories was very poor.
24. What’s the matter with the magazine Clarkesworld
A. It will close down forever. B. It was targeted by AI writers.
C. It stopped paying contributors. D. It has lost many good authors.
25. What can we infer about other magazines’ attitude to the AI-written stories
A. Disapproving. B. Favorable. C. Unknown. D. Tolerant.
26. What does Neil Clarke say about science fiction
A. It often intends to find some solutions.
B. It welcomes the existing new technologies.
C. It will accept AI-written stories in the near future.
D. It often tries to warn the dark side of technologies.
27. Where is this text most likely from
A. A notice. B. A science fiction. C. A news report. D. A book review.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C

3M and Discovery Education announced Sean Jiang from Gilman School as one of the top ten finalists from across the nation for the 2023 3M Young Scientist Challenge. It’s a competition that encourages students to identify an everyday problem and submit a video showing the science behind the solution he or she came up with.
14-year-old Jiang decided to help those who can’t see. Blind people had a hard time navigating (导航) objects that are medium to far range. So Jiang wanted to design something to give them a heads-up on obstacles (障碍) that may be incoming.
Jiang’s inspiration came from the powers of the hearing system. “I learned in school that bats and whales are able to use echolocation (回声定位) to help them navigate and just use their sense of hearing and I also saw on YouTube some very skilled blind people that use echolocation to help them walk,” said Jiang.
Jiang started with a virtual reality setting and then made it a reality. His creation uses a depth camera that can detect how close objects are, thus giving enough time to dodge the obstacles. When a blind is walking with the device, the sensor of the depth camera gathers the information regarding the obstacles’ position and distance. Then the AI system in it will turn the distance data into musical sound guidance. This could significantly increase the walking speed of a blind person as well as decrease the number of obstacles they hit.
Some other similar programs were alright at finding objects that were in close range, but Jiang still wanted the blind to experience the world even fuller so they were able to see stuff that was much further away than their circle of reach.
In October, the top ten finalists will compete in person in Minneapolis for the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist” and a $ 25, 000 prize.
28. What can we learn about Jiang from the first two paragraphs
A. He was the champion of the 2023 3M event.
B. He invented technology to remove road obstacles.
C. He sought to assist the blind in walking smoothly.
D. He developed a new navigation app for his school.
29. Why did Jiang mention “echolocation”
A. To show the development of technology. B. To present the difficulties the blind face.
C. To stress the significance of hearing. D. To explain the inspiration of his invention.
30. What does the underlined word “dodge” mean in paragraph 4
A. Avoid. B. Encounter. C. Challenge. D. Remove.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. 3M facilities intended for the blind. B. A teen using sound to help the blind.
C. An invention to cure vision problems. D. A competition to improve the blind’s life.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. B
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了一个青少年Sean Jiang的发明创造，他发明的设备能用声音帮助盲人顺利行走。
28. 推理判断题。根据第二段“14-year-old Jiang decided to help those who can’t see. Blind people had a hard time navigating (导航) objects that are medium to far range. So Jiang wanted to design something to give them a heads-up on obstacles (障碍) that may be incoming. (14岁的Jiang决定帮助那些看不见的人。盲人很难在中远距离的物体上导航。因此，Jiang想设计一些东西，让他们对可能到来的障碍有所预警。)”可知，Jiang设法帮助盲人顺利行走。故选C项。
29. 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Jiang’s inspiration came from the powers of the hearing system. (Jiang的灵感来自于听觉系统的力量。)”以及Jiang所说“I learned in school that bats and whales are able to use echolocation (回声定位) to help them navigate and just use their sense of hearing and I also saw on YouTube some very skilled blind people that use echolocation to help them walk. (我在学校里学过蝙蝠和鲸鱼能够利用回声定位来帮助它们导航，而且我还在YouTube上看到一些非常熟练的盲人利用回声定位来帮助他们走路。)”可知，Jiang提到“回声定位”是为了解释他的发明灵感。故选D项。
30. 词句猜测题。划线词句后文“When a blind is walking with the device, the sensor of the depth camera gathers the information regarding the obstacles’ position and distance. Then the AI system in it will turn the distance data into musical sound guidance. This could significantly increase the walking speed of a blind person as well as decrease the number of obstacles they hit. (当盲人使用该设备行走时，深度相机的传感器会收集有关障碍物位置和距离的信息。然后其中的人工智能系统将把距离数据转化为音乐声音引导。这可以显著提高盲人的行走速度，并减少他们撞到的障碍物数量。)”说明该设备能够帮助盲人避开障碍物，从而推知划线词句“His creation uses a depth camera that can detect how close objects are, thus giving enough time to dodge the obstacles. (他的发明使用了一个深度相机，可以探测到物体有多近，从而有足够的时间dodge障碍物。)”故划线词汇意思是“避开”。故选A项。
31. 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第二段中“14-year-old Jiang decided to help those who can’t see. (14岁的Jiang决定帮助那些看不见的人。)”以及第三段中“Jiang’s inspiration came from the powers of the hearing system. (Jiang的灵感来自于听觉系统的力量。)”等内容可知，本文主要介绍了一个青少年Sean Jiang的发明创造，他发明的设备能用声音帮助盲人顺利行走。故选B项。

Chinese Teapot Escaping from British Museum Goes Viral
Chinese state media has praised a viral video series telling the story of a jade teapot coming to life and fleeing the British Museum to make its way back home.
The set of three short videos, entitled Escape from the British Museum, shows the teapot turning into a young woman in a green dress, who then engages a London-based Chinese journalist to help her reunite with her family. It appears to have struck a chord (弦) in China after first being released by independent vloggers on Douyin. By Monday evening, it had reportedly received more than 310 million views. The plot line taps into growing Chinese criticism of the British Museum after reports last month that more than 1,500 priceless objects, including gold jewelry, semi-precious stones and glass, were missing, stolen or damaged.
In August the state media Global Times called for the return of Chinese artifacts from the museum “free of charge” in the wake of the controversy. “The huge holes in the management and security of cultural objects in the British Museum exposed by this scandal (丑闻) have led to the collapse of a long-standing and widely circulated claim that ‘foreign cultural objects are better protected in the British Museum’,” it said. It strongly supported the video series for touching on a “powerful message” about the importance of cultural heritage and reflecting “Chinese people’s desiring for the repatriation of the Chinese cultural relics.”
State broadcaster CCTV also gave the short films a glowing review saying: “We are very pleased to see Chinese young people are passionate about history and tradition... We are also looking forward to the early return of Chinese artifacts that have been displayed overseas.”
The museum scandal made headlines around the world and reawakened earlier demands by the Chinese media to restore the country’s relics. The new three-part show has triggered a wave of nationalism among viewers, with many praising the creative plot that reduced them to tears by showing how the teapot experienced the happiness of returning to China to see pandas and watch a flag-raising ceremony on Tiananmen Square.
32. What excuse does Britain give for keeping other nations’ cultural objects in its museum
A. It has taken possession of these objects by all lawful means.
B. These objects are safer and taken better care of in its museum.
C. It is requested by other nations to protect their cultural objects.
D. These objects may come to life, flee their countries and go viral.
33. What does the underlined word “repatriation”(Para.3) probably mean
A. Repair. B. Reflection. C. Reserve. D. Return.
34. Which of the following can we infer from the passage
A. China had already demanded the restoration of its cultural relics before the scandal.
B. The museum’s awful management and security systems are involved in the scandal.
C. The Britain Museum is under pressure to return the cultural relics to China sooner or later.
D. A London-based Chinese journalist has contributed a lot to the viral three-part video series.
35. What’s the purpose of the passage
A. To appeal to Britain to return China’s cultural objects.
B. To introduce a viral video series about a fleeing jade teapot.
C. To arouse readers’ concern about Chinese cultural objects abroad.
D. To praise Chinese young people’s passion for history and tradition.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. B
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了关于一只逃跑的玉壶的短视频在网络迅速走红，并引起中国官方媒体《环球时报》和中央电视台的报道和评价。
32. 细节理解题。根据第三段““The huge holes in the management and security of cultural objects in the British Museum exposed by this scandal (丑闻) have led to the collapse of a long-standing and widely circulated claim that ‘foreign cultural objects are better protected in the British Museum’,” it said.(“这次丑闻暴露出大英博物馆在文物管理和安全方面的巨大漏洞，导致了长期以来广泛流传的‘外国文物在大英博物馆得到更好的保护’的说法的崩溃，”它说)”可推知，英国把其他国家的文物存放在自己的博物馆里的理由是：它声称这些文物在它的博物馆里更安全，能得到了更好的照顾。故选B。
33. 词句猜测题。根据常识和划线词所在句“Chinese people’s yearning for the repatriation of the Chinese cultural relics. (中国人民渴望中国文物的repatriation。)”中“Chinese people’s yearning for”可推知，中国人民渴望着这些珍贵文物的“回归”。划线词repatriation与return同义。故选D。
34. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The museum scandal made headlines around the world and reawakened earlier demands by the Chinese media to restore the country’s relics. (博物馆的丑闻成为世界各地的头条新闻，并重新唤起了中国媒体早些时候要求归还中国文物的呼声)”可知，这一次大英博物馆文物丢失和损坏的丑闻重新唤起中国媒体要求归还中国文物的呼声。由此推知，在此之前中国已经要求大英博物馆。故选A。
35. 推理判断题。通读全文，结合文章标题“Chinese Teapot Escaping from British Museum Goes Viral (“从大英博物馆逃跑的中国茶壶”在社交媒体上走红)”和文中内容可知，本文主要介绍了关于一只逃跑的玉壶的短视频在网络迅速走红，并引起中国官方媒体《环球时报》和中央电视台的报道和评价。所以“介绍一个关于‘逃跑的玉壶’的视频系列”是文章的写作目的。故选B。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Books often struggle to engage modern readers, and this can be especially true for nonfiction. For many people, it’s less exciting and less emotional than fiction. However, the problem may not be with nonfiction, but how they read it.
Some people start a nonfiction book but quit after reading a few chapters. They read probably because someone gives them the book or everyone is reading it. That’s not helpful to stay in a committed relationship with nonfiction. 36 No matter what yours is, write it down before starting to read. It’ll prepare your mind on what to look for in that book.
If you’re already a fiction reader, start with narrative nonfiction, which carries a strong storytelling element. This kind of writing is so engaging that you may almost forget the story being told is factual. 37 However, if you still feel burdened by an entire book, an anthology (选集) might be a perfect solution. As collections of shorter pieces, anthologies aim to bring together the best writing on a particular subject. 38 Once you’re drawn in, you’ll find more to read.
39 For those who prefer highlighting and taking notes, a physical book may be a nice choice. In contrast, e-books are ideal if portability (便携性) or the ability to adjust the text are your priorities. However, if you’re already a listener to nonfiction recorded programs, audio books might be the perfect fit for you.
Reading nonfiction can be challenging, but remember there’s always a book on the topic that interests you. It may be about historical events that shape our lives or stories where truth outshines fiction. 40
A. So it requires a personal insight into the book.
B. Some of the pieces are sure to grab your interest.
C. It’s a natural bridge between fiction and nonfiction.
D. Instead, you should have a clear objective of reading.
E. Reading habits affect our selections of nonfiction topics.
F. Choosing suitable formats is also key to enjoying nonfiction.
G. Whichever it is, the time spent on nonfiction can be rewarding.
【答案】36. D 37. C 38. B 39. F 40. G
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了阅读非虚构类书籍的一些方法和好处。
36. 上文“They read probably because someone gives them the book or everyone is reading it. That’s not helpful to stay in a committed relationship with nonfiction.(他们读这本书可能是因为别人给了他们这本书，或者每个人都在读。这不利于与非虚构类书籍保持密切关系)”说明读者随意开始阅读非虚构类书籍不利于深入阅读，空处和前文为转折关系，说明读者应该有明确的阅读目标，并引出下文设定目标的具体做法。所以D项“相反，你应该有一个明确的阅读目标”符合语境。而下文中的it指代该项中的“a clear objective of reading”。故选D。
37. 上文“If you’re already a fiction reader, start with narrative nonfiction, which carries a strong storytelling element. This kind of writing is so engaging that you may almost forget the story being told is factual. (如果你已经是一个小说读者，那就从叙事性非虚构作品开始，它具有很强的叙事元素。这种写作方式非常吸引人，以至于你可能会忘记所讲的故事是真实的)”说明叙事性非虚构类书籍带有很强的故事性，很吸引人。空处和前文为顺接关系，说明叙事性非虚构作品的作用。所以C项“它是小说和非虚构作品之间的天然桥梁”符合语境，It指代前文中的“narrative nonfiction”。故选C。
38. 上文“As collections of shorter pieces, anthologies aim to bring together the best writing on a particular subject. (作为短篇作品的集合，选集旨在汇集关于某一特定主题的最佳作品)”以及下文“Once you’re drawn in, you’ll find more to read.(一旦你被吸引住了，你会发现更多可读的东西)”说明选集的特点是汇集特定主题的最佳作品，而且你会被吸引。空处承上启下，说明选集中的一些作品肯定会吸引读者的兴趣。所以B项“其中一些作品肯定会吸引你的兴趣。”符合语境。“Some of the pieces”和上文“collections of shorter pieces”相呼应，而“grab your interest”和下文“Once you’re drawn in”相呼应。故选B。
39. 下文“For those who prefer highlighting and taking notes, a physical book may be a nice choice. In contrast, e-books are ideal if portability (便携性) or the ability to adjust the text are your priorities. However, if you’re already a listener to nonfiction recorded programs, audio books might be the perfect fit for you.(对于那些喜欢划重点和做笔记的人来说，纸质书可能是一个不错的选择。相反，如果便携性或调整文本的能力是你的首要考虑，那么电子书是理想的选择。然而，如果你已经是非虚构类录音节目的听众，有声书可能是最适合你的)”说明选择合适的阅读格式对享受非虚构类作品也很重要，空处位于段首，说明本段的主题为选择合适的阅读格式。所以F项“选择合适的格式也是享受非虚构作品的关键”符合语境。故选F。
40. 上文“Reading nonfiction can be challenging, but remember there’s always a book on the topic that interests you. It may be about historical events that shape our lives or stories where truth outshines fiction.(阅读非虚构作品可能具有挑战性，但请记住，总有一本关于你感兴趣的主题的书。它可能是关于塑造我们生活的历史事件，也可能是真相超越虚构的故事)”说明总有一本关于你感兴趣的主题的非虚构作品值得阅读，空处和前文为顺接关系，说明阅读非虚构作品都是值得的。所以G项“无论是什么主题，花在阅读非虚构作品上的时间都是值得的”符合语境，该项中的it指代前文的“a book on the topic that interests you”。故选G。

【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道。《哪吒》是7月26日在中国电影院正式上映的最新的一部动画片，该片的主题是打破旧规则和改变命运，其科技含量很高，获得了观众的好评。
1. 考查副词。句意：《哪吒》是7月26日在中国电影院正式上映的最新的一部动画片。分析句式可知，设空处所给词是修饰动词opened的，修饰动词要用副词，因此，用official的副词形式。故填officially。
2. 考查时态。句意：自7月26日以来，该片票房收入超过1.4亿元。根据上下文语境，尤其是时间状语Since July 26可知，该句用现在完成时态，故填has earned。
3. 考查名词复数。句意：中国最大的电影点评网站豆瓣网给这部影片打了8.8分，满分是10分。point是可数名词，前面有数字8.8修饰，故用复数形式points。
4. 考查定语从句。句意：导演杨钰下定决心拍摄一部以打破旧规则、改变命运为主题的电影。分析句子结构可知，两个逗号之间为非限制性定语从句，先行词为Yang Yu（人名），且从句缺主语。故填who。
5. 考查固定搭配。句意：导演杨钰下定决心拍摄一部以打破旧规则、改变命运为主题的电影。本句运用了make up one’s mind to do sth，意为“下定决心去做某事”，故填to produce。
6. 考查名词。句意：杨选择了《哪吒》作为角色人物，它代表了叛逆但直率的青春。由空格前的定冠词the可以确定空格处应该填名词形式，combine的名词是combination。故填combination。
7. 考查固定搭配。句意：小说中，哪吒生于商朝，以对抗龙王而闻名。本句运用了be famous for，意为“以……闻名”。故填for。
8. 考查形容词最高级。句意：这是中国有史以来最复杂的动画片。根据后面的most complex可知，它是最复杂的，前面要加上定冠词the。故填the。
9. 考查过去分词。句意：这是中国有史以来最复杂的动画片。句中cartoon production和动词make是被动关系，应使用过去分词表被动，作cartoon production的定语。故填made。
10. 考查非谓语动词。句意：电影有1300多个特效镜头，雇用1600多人，来实现影片的童话场景的布置。本句谓语动词为“has和took over”，所以空格处动词employ应使用非谓语动词形式。“雇佣”这个动作是由it发出的，所以使用现在分词形式。故填employing。

第二节（满分25分）
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Sean Royston, and his long-time friend, Tolin Annis had a tradition to head out for an expedition every other year. In 2016, they decided to kayak (划皮艇) the Rocks National Lakeshore, a challenging route on Lake Superior, teibentrti tuo bobson l rast ouodern.
On September 13, they loaded up on food and camping devices, climbed into their kayaks, and pushed off from a beach near the national park’s headquarters. They planned to return in a week. They moved through small waves and headed northeast. Soon the lake shore’s trademark cliffs (悬崖) began to rise on their right. Away from the shore, the head wind grew to the forecasted 10 knots — and kept rising. Still, they never considered turning around.
They had been rowing maybe 90 minutes when, quite suddenly, the waves grew to two metres and steepened. The wind rose to an intense 20 knots, putting them in danger of flipping over. “It went bad fast!” shouted Tolin, who was in the lead about 20 metres ahead of Sean. Meanwhile, the wind pushed them closer to the cliff, where the waves became even steeper and rolled them into the water.
Sean managed to get back to kayak, holding onto it for stability, and then paddled using his free hand. But he couldn’t make any progress against the strong wind. “My arms are giving out.” Sean thought to himself, “I gotta call now.” Using a VHF radio clipped to his life jacket, Sean called: “Mayday, two kayakers stuck.” But the tall cliffs blocked the signal from reaching anyone. When he raised his head, his friend had disappeared from sight. The man yelled to his friend at the top of his lungs, but there’s no reply.
Sean struggled until the waves finally pushed him away from the shoreline and farther out in the lake. Exhausted, he floated on his back and considered his options. Sean decided to turn downwind, towards the beach where they had launched that morning. It was 5 kilometers away. “I’m a swimmer.” Sean talked himself up and started kicking.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】
Luckily, after about three hours, Sean saw the beach within reach. With his last strength, he pulled and kicked against the crashing waves, his lungs burning and limbs numb. Collapsing onto the sand, he gasped for air, but he knew the clock was ticking. “I must hurry up to save Tolin!” he muttered. Dragging his trembling feet, he headed toward the park headquarters, shouting, “One man is drowning along the cliff! Help!” Rangers heard him and rushed him inside for treatment, calling for the rescue team at the same time.
The rescue team headed out immediately for Tolin. A helicopter soared over the cliffs, its spotlight piercing through the rain. Suddenly, a faint whistle echoed — Tolin hung on to a rock, waving his arm. A rescuer on the rope approached him carefully, and then pulled him up aboard, wrapping him in a blanket. Minutes later, they took Tolin back to the headquarters to reunite with his friend. Sean held Tolin tight, tears streaming down his face. “Thank goodness you’ re fine,” Sean said, gripping his friend’s shoulders. Tolin nodded, “Your bravery and determination saved us.”
