M: Me, too. Would you like to go with me to my uncle’s house He’s a professor of the Institute of Music.
W: I’m glad to go with you. I would ask him for his advice.

W: Gerry, come and look at the information pack for our trip to London.
M: There are so many things to do, Penny. I don’t know where to start.
W: Well, why don’t we start with the kids I don’t think Sally would like the zoo. She always feels sorry for the animals, but she’s been asking about the London Eye for weeks, so we have to go there.
M: You’re right. What about Billy He loves boats, so it’s either the Thames or the zoo.
W: Definitely the Thames for Billy. What about an opera at Covent Garden for your parents
M: That would be great. So you don’t want to go shopping in Oxford Street then
W: Which page is that on Wow! This looks fantastic. There are so many great shops in Oxford Street. Will you come with me
M: I’ll come if you really want me to, dear.

M: Good afternoon, students. This is your headmaster speaking. Firstly, I’d like to welcome you all back. I hope this will be another excellent school year.
Many changes have taken place at the school over the summer. As well as a new group of students, we are also welcoming some new members of staff: Mrs Hook, who will be teaching physics; Miss Chang, the new head of the English literature department and our new boys PE coach, Mr Walden.
You will also notice several changes to the school puter classes will now take place in the new technology centre, located behind the mathematics building. The old computer rooms are now a part of the library, which is now much bigger, and contains thousands of new books. The school meeting hall has been much improved, and we now have a proper stage to perform concerts and plays.
Despite all these changes, the school rules remain the same. Be respectful, be on time, and always do your best. Thank you.

第一节
A
【文章大意】 本文是一篇应用文。文章是关于荒野探险家中心的介绍,包括在这里可以做的事情以及相关服务等。
21.C　细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Don’t miss the chance to explore our Nature Gift Shop, located near the entrance of the Wilderness Explorers Centre.”可知,你可以在荒野探险家中心入口附近购买礼物,故选C项。
22.A　细节理解题。根据文章第四段“That’s why we offer wheelchair and stroller rental at the entrance, making it easy for everyone to explore our centre comfortably.”可知,这里为有特殊需求的游客提供轮椅和婴儿车租赁服务,故选A项。
23.C　推理判断题。文章最后提到“Click our website here to learn more about how you can get involved…”,由此可推断这篇文章可能来自一个网站,故选C项。
B
【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者嘴唇上和嘴里都有胎记。在作者成长的过程中,人们总是问她嘴上的黑斑是什么,作者为此筋疲力尽。在表姐的启发下,作者终于接受了自己。现在当人们问她的时候,她会毫不犹豫地说“它们是美人斑”。
24.D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In pictures, I used to hide my birthmarks by pursing (撅起) my lips so I wouldn’t have to deal with people’s questions. As I was growing up, people wore me out with them.”可知,作者照相时掩饰嘴上的胎记就是为了避免人们的问题,人们反复问这个问题使作者感到厌倦,故选D。
25.B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“For me, it’s different—I have them on my lips and inside my mouth.”可知,作者的胎记在嘴唇上和嘴巴里,再结合第三段中的“My mum’s mum has birthmarks on her lips…”可知,作者的外祖母也有胎记在嘴唇上,所以作者和外祖母有相似的胎记,故选B。
26.C　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“My cousin faces a similar challenge. She has a huge birthmark that takes up her whole arm. She’s never tried to hide it or change her appearance.”和第五段中的inspired by my cousin可知,作者的表姐比作者自信,故选C。
27.B　词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“…suggested that she should wear long sleeves more often…she wouldn’t be such a person as she is.”可知,表姐的奶奶想让她用长袖衣衫遮挡住胎记,因为她觉得胎记太明显了,画线词与B项apparent(明显的)意义一致,故选B。
C
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了最新的文本到视频模型Sora可以将您的文字转换为视觉质量良好的视频,同时忠实地遵循您的内容说明,并且讲述了这个视频模型的优势以及局限性。
28.A　段落大意题。根据第二段内容“Sora is said to perform better than many other existing models with similar functions. The AI model can create video at suitable aspect ratios(屏幕高宽比) for different devices, such as both widescreen videos and vertical videos that we usually see on social media. It also lets users quickly test out content in lower quality before making the high-quality version, which helps speed up output.”以及第三段的“Aside from this, its ability to present videos in a realistic and smooth manner is amazing.”可知,这两段主要讲述Sora的优势。故选A。
29.A　推理判断题。根据第四段的“Sora’s performance wouldn’t be possible without its helpful assistant, ChatGPT, which transforms simple sentences into detailed descriptions, improving the accuracy of output according to the user’s prompts(提示语).”可知,ChatGPT可以将简单的句子转换成详细的描述来提高准确性,从而提升了Sora的能力。故选A。
30.B　推理判断题。根据第五段的“However, the current model isn’t perfect. It may have trouble accurately showing how things move in a complicated scene and might not get how one action leads to another.”以及接下来的例子“For example, if someone eats part of a cookie in a Sora-made video, the cookie might not look like it’s been bitten into. The model might mix up directions like left and right, and find it hard to describe events in the right order.”可推断,本段所举的例子是为了说明Sora的局限性。故选B。
31.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“As of February, Sora is still in the testing stage of development. OpenAI is now inviting cybersecurity professionals to make random attacks on Sora’s system, aiming to test the model’s possible weaknesses and risks. Sora has also been open to some visual artists, designers and film-makers. Their feedback will assist OpenAI in enhancing the model to better serve creative professionals.”可知,Sora正在进行测试和改进。故选D。
D
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。在21世纪初,许多人无法想象没有闹钟、CD播放器、日历、相机和许多其他设备的生活是什么样的。但随着iPhone和其他智能手机的出现,它们取代了我们过去认为必不可少的很多东西的功能,这也彻底改变了我们对能源效率的看法,能源效率注重人们的基本需求,创造一个高效的系统,尽可能地节约能源。
32.B　推理判断题。根据第一段中“But along came the iPhone and other smartphones, and they took over the functions of many things that we used to think were completely necessary.”,第二段中“The success of smartphones can be a model for dealing with climate change because they represent a different approach to design, which is to focus on function rather than form.”和第三段中“But focusing on individual devices is like if Apple had spent effort inventing a better alarm clock, a better CD player, a better calendar, and a better camera. Now with an iPhone, we don’t need the stand-alone (独立运行的) devices at all, because it can function as all of them.”可知,iPhone和其他智能手机取代了我们过去认为必不可少的很多东西的功能,智能手机注重的是功能。由此推知,智能手机成为环保的典范是因为它们将许多功能集于一身。故选B项。
33.D　推理判断题。根据第三段“Traditionally, improvements in energy efficiency have mostly been centred on individual devices, which can be quite fruitful. But focusing on individual devices is like if Apple had spent effort inventing a better alarm clock, a better CD player, a better calendar, and a better camera. Now with an iPhone, we don’t need the stand-alone (独立运行的) devices at all, because it can function as all of them.”可知,虽然能源效率的提高大多集中在单个设备上,但只要考虑到了使用者的基本需求,就不需要独立的设备来实现某个功能,一个设备也能实现多种功能,使能源效率提高;再结合第四段中具体例子“So when it comes to energy efficiency, instead of only installing more efficient heaters, we should focus on the desired function: warmth.”可推知,提高能源效率的核心是注重人们的基本需要。故选D项。
34.A　推理判断题。根据第三段中“Traditionally, improvements in energy efficiency have mostly been centred on individual devices, which can be quite fruitful.”和“Now with an iPhone, we don’t need the stand-alone (独立运行的) devices at all, because it can function as all of them.”可知,就能源效率提高而言,虽然人们认为传统做法大有成效,但是作者更加推崇当前新的发展趋势(即赞同像iPhone一样,用一个设备去实现多种功能,使能源效率提高)。由此推知,作者认为能源效率提高方面的传统做法效率低下。故选A项。
35.A　主旨大意题。文章最后一段对全文进行了总结,根据最后一段中“In other words, it’s not thinking efficiently, but thinking differently.”可知,文章带来的启示是要跳出思维的框框,就是要打破常规。A项适合做标题。故选A项。
第二节
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了拖延,以及如何应对拖延。
36.G　根据后文“However, do they really work ”可知,空处应指出下文they的指代内容,G项(幸运的是,你能在网上找到很多应对拖延的方法。)衔接后文,下文they指代G项中的ways。故选G。
37.E　根据上文“Knee-jerk reactions and recommendations to procrastination can focus on making lists, downloading apps, setting timers, etc. If simply making a list could solve the problem of procrastination, then there wouldn’t be so many articles on it or conversations about it with doctors.”可知,作者提到如果仅仅通过列清单就能解决拖延问题,那么就不会有那么多关于拖延的文章和与医生的讨论了。这表明需要解决拖延背后的问题,与E项(因此,我们需要找出导致拖延的内因。)一致。故选E。
38.F　根据下文“If not, our brain centre responds by telling our body to avoid the situation causing us anxiety.”可知,前文应该是肯定的情况,F项(如果任务容易处理,我们可以尽快去做。)符合语境,故选F。
39.D　从下文“That’s because we live in a busy world where tasks will roll your way.”可以看出作者在讨论拖延在日常生活中经常发生的情况。这与D项(拖延在日常生活中经常发生。)一致。故选D。
40.B　上文“Know yourself and your moods. Scheduling tasks during times of high energy will help us be most productive and lessen the opportunity for procrastination.”和下文“If you are motivated by funny stickers on your papers, then you should pair the rewarding activity with the task you have been procrastinating.”提到,在精力充沛时安排任务可以帮助我们最高效地工作并减少拖延的机会,如果你被有趣的贴纸激励,那么你应该将奖励活动与你一直在拖延的任务相结合,与B项(更重要的是,任务完成后给自己奖励。)相符。故选B。

第四部分
第一节
One possible version:
In order to inspire the students to work out more, our school organized a hike last Friday. Hundreds of us took part in it.
It was a nice day. At 8:00 am, we gathered at the foot of Dafeng Mountain and set out for the top in high spirits. All the way we were chatting, singing and laughing, enjoying the fresh air and the beautiful scenery. When some fell behind, others were ready to offer help. Finally each of us made it to the top. Bathed in sunshine, we jumped and cheered with joy.
The activity benefited us a lot. Not only did we get close to nature and free ourselves from heavy school work, but it also promoted the friendship among us. What a wonderful time!
第二节
One possible version:
Suddenly, the weather took an abrupt turn. Dark clouds shrouded the sky, and a heavy downpour ensued. The comforting forest sounds quickly proved a terrifying symphony of thunder and wind. The trail that was once so clear became a muddy mess, making it impossible to go on. We tried to consult our map, but it was too late; we got lost in the wilderness. Hours passing, our attempts to find the trail turned out to be in vain. With the cold creeping in, despair started to set in.
Just when we were about to give up, a faint light flickered in the distance. Curiosity overpowered our fear, and we decided to follow it. When we drew nearer, we saw a small log cabin, lights shining from its windows. When we knocked on the door, an elderly woman, Mrs Evans, welcomed us with a warm smile. She was a retired ranger who had chosen to live her twilight years in the heart of the mountains. She offered us shelter for the night, and the next morning, guided us back to the main trail. This incident strengthened our friendship and taught us the importance of resilience and hope. The experience was beyond expectation, terrifying, but enlightening all the same.
【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开。作者和朋友去森林探险,被山里的美景吸引,但是突然发现迷路了。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“突然,天气急转直下。”可知,第一段可以描写暴风雨来临后,作者他们的处境更加艰难,此时他们的心理活动和行动。
②由第二段首句内容“就在我们快要放弃的时候,一道微弱的灯光在远处闪烁。”可知,第二段可以描写作者他们朝着灯光的方向行进时的心情,灯光的源头是什么,他们怎么找到回家的路,以及他们意识到韧性和希望的重要性。
2.续写线索:天气突然转变—寒冷无助—看到灯光—朝光行走—被接待—找到路—感悟单元素养测评卷(五)

B [2024·湖北省部分普通高中联盟高一期中]
When you hear the word “birthmark”, you probably think of one of those black or brown spots that you have on your body. For me, it’s different—I have them on my lips and inside my mouth. I’m used to being asked, “What are those black marks on your lips ” When I tell people they’re birthmarks, they usually say, “That’s strange.” I used to consider them ugly. However, my mum calls them beauty marks.
In pictures, I used to hide my birthmarks by pursing (撅起) my lips so I wouldn’t have to deal with people’s questions. As I was growing up, people wore me out with them. Some people would ask me the same questions even before knowing my name. In society I feel like we judge people by their looks before their personality.
My birthmarks are caused by a genetic (基因的) condition from my mum’s side of the family. My mum’s mum has birthmarks on her lips, and my mum’s uncle and my uncle have some on their bodies. Every year I plan to have a procedure to remove them. But when imagining the process, I always get nervous and give up.
My cousin faces a similar challenge. She has a huge birthmark that takes up her whole arm. She’s never tried to hide it or change her appearance. Once, her grandmother told her that the birthmark looked extremely prominent and suggested that she should wear long sleeves more often. If my cousin had actually taken that suggestion, she wouldn’t be such a person as she is.
Inspired by my cousin, I am finally accepting who I am and now I don’t hesitate when someone asks me about them either. I say, “They’re beauty marks” and smile without pursing my lips.
(　)24.How did the author feel when asked about the birthmarks
A.She felt excited to show her difference.
B.She felt annoyed to give others an answer.
C.She was scared to be made fun of by people.
D.She was bored to be faced with the question.
(　)25.Who has the similar birthmarks like the author
A.Her mother. B.Her grandmother.
C.Her cousin. D.Her uncle.

Artificial intelligence(AI) models have long surpassed (超过) just creating text responses and images. Now, with only one sentence, OpenAI’s latest text-to-video model, Sora, can turn your words into video with good visual quality while faithfully following your content instructions.
Sora is said to perform better than many other existing models with similar functions. The AI model can create video at suitable aspect ratios (屏幕高宽比) for different devices, such as both widescreen videos and vertical videos that we usually see on social media. It also lets users quickly test out content in lower quality before making the high-quality version, which helps speed up output.
Aside from this, its ability to present videos in a realistic and smooth manner is amazing. Sora can create detailed scenes with several characters, scientific types of motion, and accurate subject and background details while generating multiple shots with a single video. Beyond the user’s requests, it also understands how these elements exist in the real world. For example, reflections in the water change as a woman walks by.
Sora’s performance wouldn’t be possible without its helpful assistant, ChatGPT, which transforms simple sentences into detailed descriptions, improving the accuracy of output according to the user’s prompts (提示语).
However, the current model isn’t perfect. It may have trouble accurately showing how things move in a complicated scene and might not get how one action leads to another. For example, if someone eats part of a cookie in a Sora-made video, the cookie might not look like it’s been bitten into. The model might mix up directions like left and right, and find it hard to describe events in the right order.
As of February, Sora is still in the testing stage of development. OpenAI is now inviting cybersecurity professionals to make random attacks on Sora’s system, aiming to test the model’s possible weaknesses and risks. Sora has also been open to some visual artists, designers and film-makers. Their feedback will assist OpenAI in enhancing the model to better serve creative professionals.
(　)28.What is the main focus of Paragraphs 2—3
A.Sora’s strengths. B.Sora’s variety.
C.Sora’s development. D.Sora’s techniques.
(　)29.How does ChatGPT contribute to Sora’s capabilities
A.By specifying user input.
B.By providing verbal feedback.
C.By examining sample videos.
D.By improving video quality.
(　)30.Why does the author provide the example in Paragraph 5
A.To stress Sora’s potential safety risks.
B.To illustrate Sora’s existing limitations.
C.To show Sora’s perfect performance.
D.To explain the concept of a space time patch.
(　)31.What can we know about Sora up to now
A.It has been made available to various industries.

Back in the early 2000s, lots of people couldn’t imagine life without alarm clocks, CD players, calendars, cameras, or lots of other devices. But along came the iPhone and other smartphones, and they took over the functions of many things that we used to think were completely necessary.
The success of smartphones can be a model for dealing with climate change because they represent a different approach to design, which is to focus on function rather than form. This approach requires concentrating on understanding the problems, and then engineering a wide range of potential solutions. By adopting this mindset, we can completely change our thinking about energy efficiency (效率).
Traditionally, improvements in energy efficiency have mostly been centred on individual devices, which can be quite fruitful. But focusing on individual devices is like if Apple had spent effort inventing a better alarm clock, a better CD player, a better calendar, and a better camera. Now with an iPhone, we don’t need the stand-alone (独立运行的) devices at all, because it can function as all of them.
So when it comes to energy efficiency, instead of only installing more efficient heaters, we should focus on the desired function: warmth. Through creative designs like coating our house, we can get rid of the need for heaters, significantly saving nearly 99% energy.
Similarly, rather than merely focusing on making cars more efficient, we should consider the desired function—transportation. By developing an efficient transportation system that reduces the need for private cars, we can achieve greater energy savings.
The most energy-efficient car or heater is no car, or no heater, while still being able to get around and stay warm. In other words, it’s not thinking efficiently, but thinking differently.
(　)32.What makes the iPhone a good example of environmental protection
A.Choosing a simplest design.
B.Combining possible functions.
C.Perfecting individual instruments.
D.Reducing the energy consumption.
(　)33.According to the passage, what is the most important part of improving energy efficiency
A.Improving technologies.
B.Using recyclable materials.
C.Figuring out various solutions.
D.Concentrating on the necessary needs.
(　)34.What does the author think of traditional practices in energy improvements
A.Inefficient. B.Classical.
C.Useless. D.Perfect.
(　)35.Which can be the best title of the passage
A.Think out of the box
B.Differences make it unique
C.Be economical with energy
D.Step out of the comfort zone

We all do procrastination (拖延). No matter how well-organized you are, chances are that you have found yourself wasting hours on small pursuits when you should have been spending that time on school-related projects. 36.　　　　 However, do they really work
Knee-jerk reactions and recommendations to procrastination can focus on making lists, downloading apps, setting timers, etc. If simply making a list could solve the problem of procrastination, then there wouldn’t be so many articles on it or conversations about it with doctors. 37.　　　
When we look at a task, such as doing homework or preparing a presentation, we do an internal assessment. 38.　　　　 If not, our brain centre responds by telling our body to avoid the situation causing us anxiety. In this way, procrastination will provide us with a circle—stressful task, perceived threat, avoid stressful task, and feel better. This is a short-term solution in fact, because the task doesn’t disappear. Then, ultimately we want to finish work and feel good. What can we do
39.　　　　 That’s because we live in a busy world where tasks will roll your way. Be aware that you are procrastinating and don’t pile up the act of procrastination with the act of self-deception (自我欺骗). Know yourself and your moods. Scheduling tasks during times of high energy will help us be most productive and lessen the opportunity for procrastination. 40.　　　　 If you are motivated by funny stickers on your papers, then you should pair the rewarding activity with the task you have been procrastinating.
A.Learn from negative thoughts.
B.What’s more, reward yourself after the task.
C.It means mismanagement of your emotions.
D.Procrastination frequently happens in daily life.
E.Therefore, we need to figure out its internal roots.
F.If the task is easy to handle, we can do it as soon as possible.

Nature, while beautiful, could also be unpredictable and merciless. But most importantly we bear in mind that in the darkest times, there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel, just like Mrs Evans’ cabin light.
One bright summer day, my friend Peter and I decided to venture into the unexplored trails of the Great Smoky Mountains. Blessed with rich biodiversity and fascinating landscapes, the national park seemed a perfect getaway. Little did we know that our casual hike would soon turn into an unexpected personal incident, forever engraved in our memory.
We set off early in the morning, equipped with our backpacks and a map that was supposed to guide us through the winding trails. The sun was up, casting long shadows on the forest floor as we set off on our journey. We trekked (艰难行走), laughed, and marveled at the beauty of nature around us.
As we trekked through the dense forests, taking in the natural wonders around us, we couldn’t help but feel a sense of adventure coursing through our veins. The trail was rugged and uneven, but we persevered through the challenging landscape.
Midway through our expedition, we stumbled upon a breathtaking waterfall, its glistening water cascading down the rocks in a quiet and peaceful melody. We sat down by the water’s edge, taking a moment to get lost in the beauty of nature. The cool mist from the waterfall enveloped us, and we felt refreshed and energetic.
As the day wore on, we ventured deeper into the wilderness, eager to explore every corner of this natural paradise. We were so absorbed in the beauty of nature that we just didn’t notice our way and it seemed that we could not find the way back to the familiar part of the forest. Panicking, we scrambled to find our way back but the dense vegetation and winding trails only served to confuse us further. We tried to remember any possible signs that might lead us back. No sooner had we celebrated our return to the clear trails than something worse happened.

Suddenly, the weather took an abrupt turn.
