M: I’ve seen you sitting in this park over the last couple of months, but I’ve never said hello. I’m Tom.
W: Hello, my dear. Nice to meet you. I’m here a lot. At my age, I can’t do much besides sitting in the park.
M: Do your friends or family live nearby
W: Most friends passed away years ago. I see my family sometimes, but they moved out of the city.
M: Well, I own a restaurant around here. Please, come by and order anything you want.
W: Sounds lovely, but is it expensive

M: OK, OK…What did you tell us before Something about pretending that the crowd is cabbage Ha-ha! I’ve never forgotten that little bit of advice! Maybe it’ll work tonight…
W: I don’t remember saying that. You must have heard it from a movie. I’m not even sure it can make you less afraid. What I said was that close your eyes for 10 seconds and think about your character. It will help you be calm.
M: Well, I’m going to try the advice from the movie. It will make me laugh, and my character is supposed to be very funny.
W: Do anything that helps. We need to impress the judges that are sitting out there!

W: It’s a little cold today. But we can see the most beautiful view up here. Hey, what’s that mountain to the left called
M: That’s Mount Karen. And to the right of that with the three small points is Mount Brown.
W: Is this the highest mountain in this area
M: No, actually, Mount Heather, which we will be able to see in just a minute or so, is the highest. But, this is the highest mountain for the most popular activity skiing.
W: Can you ski throughout the year
M: No, it may make you sunburned up there in the summer. So if you want to be up here in other seasons, you’d better choose a cool spring or autumn day. Oh, look, there are two deer feeding in the clearing right below us.
W: Got it. That should be a great photo. So…what is there to do besides skiing at the top of the hill at this time of year
M: Oh there’s plenty to do. We have horseback riding, snowmobile tours, and a petting zoo for children. If you look to your left you’ll see the snowmobile sign going through the mountain.
Text 10
W: Good afternoon and welcome to Seattle Houseboat Tours. My name’s Elizabeth Jones and I’m your guide today. This is my houseboat Moonlight. Before we go on board, I’d like to give you a little background information. Seattle has one of the largest numbers of houseboats in the US—about 500 of them in fact. That’s quite a high number and shows how popular houseboat living is here. We’re at the southern end of Lake Union right now. As you have probably seen already, this is a lively area with restaurants, shops and cafes. During our one-hour tour you’ll see a number of houseboats. People can pay millions of dollars for the biggest of these. Some of them are quite amazing and have two or three floors. My own is one of the smallest boats, but I still have plenty of room, as you’ll see when I show you around. My living area includes one bedroom with a bathroom, a kitchen and a living room. I also have electricity, running water and network, so I really do have everything I need. You may be interested to know that I’m writing a book on the history of houseboats in the city, and this should be on sale from early July. Well, thank you for listening so far. Now let’s move into the boat and start the tour.
第二部分
第一节
A
【文章大意】 本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了波士顿公共图书馆志愿导游的职责、资格、培训和评估要求。
21.C　细节理解题。根据ROLE AND EXPECTATIONS部分的“…answering questions from groups and recording attendance statistics after tours conclude.”可知,志愿导游需要在参观结束后记录参观者的人数。故选C。
22.C　细节理解题。根据TRAINING部分的“New guides are expected to complete training around four months. Progress evaluations will be ongoing throughout the training period, and continue through the first six months of working as a full guide.”可知,新导游的训练期预计持续大约四个月,之后在他们开始工作的头六个月内继续进行评估。因此,总的评估期为大约4个月的训练加上6个月的工作期,共计约10个月。故选C。
23.A　推理判断题。根据REQUIREMENTS部分的“Minimum commitment of two tours per month (or 24 tours per year).”可知,若他们未达到这个最低工作时长,则可能会得到差评。故选A。
B
【文章大意】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过自己高中最后一天的鲜活记忆和给女儿讲睡前故事的经历讲述了“峰终定律”,它表明我们对一段经历的判断很大程度上取决于这段经历的巅峰和结尾,作者建议人们珍惜结尾。
24.A　词义猜测题。根据第一段中“I’m wandering in the halls with my best friend, blissfully ignoring the bells going off every 50 minutes on schedule because, just today, we’re allowed to break the rules.”可知,在这一天,作者他们不需要遵守学校的规则,由此可推测出,作者应是高兴地忽略每50分钟定时响一次的铃声,blissfully应表示“高兴地”,与happily意思相近,故选A项。
25.C　细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Nobel Prize winner Danny Kahneman, who discovered this phenomenon, called this the peak-end rule. It suggests that our judgement of a past experience is largely based on its most extreme point and its end point.”可知,峰终定律表明,我们在很大程度上是根据一段经历最极端的点和终点来判断的,由此可推断出,一段经历的巅峰和结尾是更容易被记住的,故选C项。
26.C　段落大意题。根据文章第四段“I took advantage of the peak-end rule years ago, when my girls were young enough to want a bedtime story each night. I remember thinking that whatever trouble and stress had occurred that day, I could make the last moments count. I could end on a note of calm and act like the patient mum I hadn’t quite managed to be just hours before.”可知,本段主要讲述了作者在生活中应用了峰终定律,故选C项。
27.B　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Don’t mistake all moments as equal in significance. There’s a reason why yoga classes end with savasana (挺卧式). There’s a reason why we eat dessert last. Do organize endings carefully. As Pete Carroll might say: finish strong. Last impressions are especially lasting.”可知,作者引用皮特·卡罗尔的话是想要说明结尾很重要,鼓励读者珍惜一段经历的最后时刻,故选B项。
C
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍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。文章还介绍了这个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 videos 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　细节理解题。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,根据用户的提示语提高输出的准确性。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. 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,第五段的例子是为了说明Sora的局限性。故选B。
31.D　细节理解题。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正在测试和改进中。故选D。
D
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家们对DTD这一罕见疾病的研究和解释。
32.C　推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Sharon Roseman was five years old when her world changed forever. She was playing Blind Man’s Bluff with friends outside her house. When she removed her blindfold (眼罩), she couldn’t recognize where she was. From that moment on, Roseman has been lost every day of her life.”以及文章第二段“Roseman is not alone in her experience. As an adult living in Denver, Colorado, in 2008, Roseman was diagnosed with a rare and newly discovered condition called Developmental Topographical Disorientation (DTD), which is a disorder that dramatically affects people’s abilities to navigate their familiar environment.”可知,文章提到Roseman的经历,是为了引出DTD这种罕见疾病的相关知识。故选C。
33.B　推理判断题。根据文章第二段“…which is a disorder that dramatically affects people’s abilities to navigate their familiar environment.”可知,DTD是一种影响人们在熟悉环境中导航能力的疾病,由此可知,患上这类疾病的人无法记住自己居住地的布局。故选B。
34.B　细节理解题。根据文章第四段“‘They use things in the environment to orientate (确定方向) themselves and create a cognitive map,’ he says. ‘If we don’t have things in the outside world to update the cognitive map, then it is likely to lead to error.’”以及第五段“‘There seems to be a systematic error in the way people with DTD place landmarks in their mind,’ Dudchenko says. How exactly this happens is still under investigation, but Dudchenko thinks the answer lies in the relationship between the various regions of the brain responsible for spatial cognition (空间认知).”可知,Dudchenko认为患有DTD的人在脑海中定位地标的方式似乎存在系统性错误,从而导致无法创建认知地图。故选B。
35.D　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“While top researchers have more to learn, they are confident the answers won’t stay lost in the complexity of the brain forever.”可知,虽然关于DTD还有许多信息没有弄清楚,但是研究人员对于解开其真相还是有信心的。故选D。
第二节
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了“体验式欣赏”——一种鼓励你直接与周围的世界接触的学习方法。
36.G　根据上文“As a high school student, you’re likely used to learning through reading textbooks.”以及下文“This lies at the heart of ‘experiential appreciation’, a philosophy that encourages you to engage directly with the world around you.”可推知,此处在谈论不止有通过阅读教科书来学习这一种方法,因此推断G项(现在考虑把你的学习从单纯的阅读扩展到积极参与。)符合语境,故选G。
37.B　根据上文“So, try joining a sports team, picking up a paintbrush, or taking part in a local charity event.”可知,此处在谈论这些活动的作用,因此推断B项(这些活动使学习更有趣。)符合语境,故选B。
38.D　根据上文“…don’t just look around.”和下文“Touching the leaves, feeling the wind and listening to the birds can enrich your learning and make each moment more memorable.”可知,此处在谈论要去感受大自然,因此D项(相反,激活你的感官,与它建立更牢固的联系。)符合语境,故选D。
39.E　根据下文“After trying something new, ask yourself what you learned and how it made you feel.”可知,此处在谈论反思的作用,因此推断E项(通过反思你的经历,让你的经历更进一步。)符合语境,故选E。

第一节
One possible version:
Dear Stephen,
I’m Li Hua, one of your students.Learning that some activities are needed for the upcoming spoken English club, I’m glad to share my ideas with you.
To begin with, I’d like to recommend English Drama Performances, through which students can be enthusiastically involved in English speaking practice and deeply immersed in profound English culture. Our participation will undoubtedly help enhance our English proficiency. Additionally, some interactive topic discussions and conversations, such as travel and adventures, enable us to have a sense of curiosity and cultural discovery, cultivating our interest in expressing ourselves and taking our English-speaking abilities to new heights.
Hope my recommendations will be of some help. The spoken English club will surely become one of the sweetest memories rooted in our hearts.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节
【思路点拨】 本文以事件发展为线索展开,讲述了作者和朋友去远足,被山里的美景所吸引,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,作者他们的处境变得更加艰难,以及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,之后他们遇到了Mrs Evans以及作者的感悟。
2.续写线索:雨中行走—寒冷无助—试图找路—看到灯光—朝光行走—被接待—感悟
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 (定语从句) became a muddy mess, making it impossible to go on (现在分词作状语). We tried to consult our map, but it was too late; we got lost in the wilderness. Hours passing (独立主格), our attempts to find the trail turned out to be in vain. With the cold creeping in (with复合结构), 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 (时间状语从句), we saw a small log cabin, lights shining from its windows. We knocked on the door, and 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 (定语从句). 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.模块素养测评卷

B
Even now, I have vivid memories of my last day of high school. In my mind’s eye, I’m cleaning out my locker, and then staring at the emptiness for a few extra beats before slamming it shut for the last time. I’m wandering in the halls with my best friend,blissfully ignoring the bells going off every 50 minutes on schedule because, just today, we’re allowed to break the rules. I’m sitting on my desk, swinging my feet, and chatting with my English teacher, Mr Carr, in a way that makes me feel almost grown up.
It was maybe my favourite day of the whole year. Like the final layer of the watercolour, the freedom and lightness I feel seep (渗透) into the rest of my memories of that day and turn them just a shade rosier.
If the school year hasn’t yet ended for you, consider what you can do to make the ending count. Why Because when it comes to human memory, not all moments are created equal. Instead, our remembered experiences are disproportionately (不成比例地) influenced by peaks(the best moments as well as the worst) and endings(the last moments). Nobel Prize winner Danny Kahneman, who discovered this phenomenon, called this the peak-end rule. It suggests that our judgement of a past experience is largely based on its most extreme point and its end point.
I took advantage of the peak-end rule years ago, when my girls were young enough to want a bedtime story each night. I remember thinking that whatever trouble and stress had occurred that day, I could make the last moments count. I could end on a note of calm and act like the patient mum I hadn’t quite managed to be just hours before.
Don’t mistake all moments as equal in significance. There’s a reason why yoga classes end with savasana (挺卧式). There’s a reason why we eat dessert last. Do organize endings carefully. As Pete Carroll might say: finish strong. Last impressions are especially lasting.
(　)24.What does the underlined word “blissfully” in Paragraph 1 mean

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 videos 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 videos 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.
B.Its commercial release has been called off.
C.It has exposed alarming security issues.
D.It is undergoing testing and improvement.

Sharon Roseman was five years old when her world changed forever.She was playing Blind Man’s Bluff with friends outside her house.When she removed her blindfold (眼罩), she couldn’t recognize where she was.From that moment on, Roseman has been lost every day of her life.
Roseman is not alone in her experience.As an adult living in Denver, Colorado, in 2008, Roseman was diagnosed with a rare and newly discovered condition called Developmental Topographical Disorientation (DTD), which is a disorder that dramatically affects people’s abilities to navigate their familiar environment.
Dr Giuseppe Iaria of the University of Calgary in Canada is credited with first identifying DTD. He confirms that odd as it sounds, people with DTD have no brain damage. He thinks genetic factors are likely to be responsible for it.
Paul Dudchenko, from the University of Stirling in the United Kingdom, has what he calls a place-cell theory. He says we get lost because all our hippocampal cells appear to be connected to landmarks. “They use things in the environment to orientate (确定方向) themselves and create a cognitive map,” he says. “If we don’t have things in the outside world to update the cognitive map, then it is likely to lead to error.” That’s why people who are lost in a snowstorm, for instance, tend to go in circles. They think they’re heading in the right direction, but without external reference points their brain is unable to form a cognitive map, so they naturally tend to get lost.
“There seems to be a systematic error in the way people with DTD place landmarks in their mind,” Dudchenko says. How exactly this happens is still under investigation, but Dudchenko thinks the answer lies in the relationship between the various regions of the brain responsible for spatial cognition (空间认知).
For his part, Giuseppe Iaria is continuing with his research.Some of his recent work has focused on the role genes play in DTD. As well as helping sufferers of DTD, Iaria believes his research will offer an explanation as to why some people are better at finding their way than others.While top researchers have more to learn, they are confident the answers won’t stay lost in the complexity of the brain forever.
(　)32.Why does the author mention Roseman’s experience
A.To inform us of a sad story.
B.To give us background information.
C.To introduce a rare disease.
D.To support the author’s argument.
(　)33.What trouble would people with DTD have
A.Navigating novel and unfamiliar environments.
B.Remembering the layout of their neighbourhood.
C.Understanding the detailed information on a map.
D.Recalling the names of familiar places and people.
(　)34.What does Dudchenko say about DTD
A.It gives rise to severe brain damage.
B.It happens when the cognitive map fails.
C.It connects one’s brain and cognition.
D.It arises from a systematic genetic error.
(　)35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A.Genes play the most important role in DTD.
B.The ability to find one’s way can be improved.
C.Iaria’s research has already helped sufferers of DTD.
D.The truth about DTD will be brought to light someday.

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。
As a high school student, you’re likely used to learning through reading textbooks. 36.　　　　 This lies at the heart of “experiential appreciation”, a philosophy that encourages you to engage directly with the world around you. It’s about learning from real-life experiences, and discovering a more profound and engaging way to learn.
To practise experiential appreciation, you can start by getting involved in hands-on activities related to your subjects. They will provide a first-hand understanding of the concepts you’re studying, making learning active and meaningful. So, try joining a sports team, picking up a paintbrush, or taking part in a local charity event. 37.　　　
As you dive deeper, immerse (沉浸) yourself fully in the surroundings and activities. When you’re in nature, don’t just look around. 38.　　　　 Touching the leaves, feeling the wind and listening to the birds can enrich your learning and make each moment more memorable.
39.　　　　 After trying something new, ask yourself what you learned and how it made you feel. Write a journal or discuss it with friends. This self-discovery turns experiences into life lessons and offers a deeper understanding of the world.
Experiential appreciation transforms learning from a task to be completed into a journey to be treasured. 40.　　　　 So, explore the world around you, let every experience shape you, and discover the endless possibilities that await you. This is the core of true learning, where every moment is a step towards a richer, more enlightened life.
A.It extends learning beyond textbooks.
B.These activities bring learning to life.
C.Mind the impact of your actions on the environment.
D.Instead, activate your senses for a stronger tie with it.
E.Take your experiences further by reflecting on them.
F.Textbooks offer a systematic introduction to essential concepts and principles.
G.Now consider expanding your learning from just reading to actively participating.

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
People who live on the Moon will experience night and day, but a lunar day and night would last almost an Earth month.
Earth’s gravity causes the Moon 56.　　　　　(experience) slight elongation (轻微伸长) on the sides closest and farthest from us. The gravitational forces acting 57.　　　　　　(different) on the near and far side of the Moon’s elongation create torque (扭矩) 58.　　　　 acts to change the Moon’s rotational (旋转的) period so that it matches its orbit period. This 59.　　　　　(know) as “tidal locking (潮汐锁定)”.
Because the Moon rotates at the same time as it orbits Earth, it only ever presents the same face to us. But even though the Moon is tidally locked to Earth, it’s still rotating with respect to 60.　　　　 Sun. Its rotation period is 29 days, 12 hours and 44 minutes—also the 61.　　　　　(long) of the “lunar month” on Earth. So, anyone 62.　　　　(live) on the Moon would experience about two weeks of daylight, 63.　　　　(follow) by about two weeks of night.
Of course, from the near side of the Moon, Earth appears to stay in exactly the same position in the sky while the 64.　　　　(star) rise and set—although Earth’s exact position depends 65.　　　　 where you are on the Moon. The appearance of Earth will change, just like the Moon’s does, over a lunar month, but Earth itself will be observed rotating once in a little over 24 hours.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
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 memories.
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 (远足), 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 waters 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 tried to find our way back but the dense vegetation and winding trails only served to confuse us further. We tried to remember any possible sign that might lead us back. No sooner had we celebrated our return to the clear trails than something worse happened.
注意: 续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly, the weather took an abrupt turn.

Paragraph 2:
Just when we were about to give up, a faint light flickered in the distance.
