22. 细节理解题。根据Nobel Prize in Chemistry中的“Demis Hassabis and John Jumper tackled a 50-year-old challenge with their AI model that predicts complex protein structures, holding immense potential.”可知，人工智能模型帮助科学家们解决了一个已存在半个世纪的难题。故选C。
23. 细节理解题。根据Nobel Peace Prize中的“The 2024 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Nihon Hidankyo, a grassroots Japanese organization of atomic bomb survivors. This is quite different from other awards given to individuals.”可知，诺贝尔和平奖被授予了一个团体。故选D。
24~27.【答案】C、B、B、D
【解析】【文章大意】本文主要介绍了Felicia想为患有肾病的父亲Herminio捐肾的故事。
24. 根据第一段内容“Felicia的父亲Herminio住在佛罗里达州，在等待肾脏捐赠的过程中，他不得不依靠透析来维持生命。这个可怜的人正在与5期肾病作斗争，必须接受移植手术。”可知，Herminio患有肾脏疾病。故选C。
25. 根据第一段The poor man is battling stage-5 kidney disease, and has to have a transplant(移植).可知，Felicia的父亲需要肾脏移植才能活下去，再结合第三段Felicia secretly went through the testing process to see if she could be a match for his organ donation.可知，Felicia秘密进行了测试，看自己是否与父亲的器官捐赠匹配。因此，Felicia想要给父亲捐赠可以拯救父亲性命的肾脏。故选B。
26. 根据第三段Felicia secretly went through the testing process to see if she could be a match for his organ donation可知，Felicia想给父亲捐献肾脏，由此可知，她是无私的；再结合最后一段"I'm going to be the one who's going to do it, and I'm going all the way—in 100 percent, full force."可知，Felicia决定全力以赴地为给父亲捐肾做努力，由此看出她是坚定的。故选B。
27. 通读全文可知，本段主要介绍了Felicia决定给父亲捐肾的故事，这可以看作是Felicia给父亲的一份无价的礼物，因此D项符合本文中心，适合做文章标题，故选D。
28~31.【答案】C、D、C、B
【解析】语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。面对日益严峻的全球变暖形势，联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯最近用“全球沸腾”这一引人注目的新名词发出警告，以此呼吁各国立即采取积极措施避免更多灾难的发生。
28. 推理判断题。根据第一、二段可知，联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯之所以要使用“全球沸腾”这一新名词，是基于目前日益严峻的气候变化形势。
29. 细节理解题。根据第三段可知，作者认为，“气候变暖”“气候变热”以及“气候危机”这些词之所以都没有引起人们足够的关注，是因为（过去）我们很多人没有亲眼看见这些（跟气候变化有关的）危机和灾难。
30. 词句猜测题。根据第四段可知，But that is changing.这句话承上启下，作者接着列举了近年来全球范围频发的由气候变化引起的自然灾害，说明过去我们没有亲眼看见的灾难现在不但降临了，而且越来越多。
31. 推理判断题。根据最后两段可知，作者认为：安东尼奥·古特雷斯使用“全球沸腾”这一说法，是为了吸引人们聆听他的呼吁并开始采取行动；另外，我们也很难再想出一个更好的词来描述当前的严峻形势。由此可推出，作者非常认可安东尼奥·古特雷斯的这一说法。
32~35.【答案】A、D、C、B
【解析】语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。一项研究表明，让孩子上音乐课不仅会将他们引入旋律的世界，而且还会显著提高他们的语言技能。学校不应该减少音乐课程，而应该更加关注这一课程。
32. 代词指代题。根据上文可知，许多研究表明，学习一门乐器可以影响孩子的语言能力，再根据画线词所在句的语境可知，it应是指代上文提到的“学习一门乐器”。
33. 细节理解题。根据第四段中的The third group acted ... their usual classes.可知，第三组作为对照组，除了平常的课程外，没有额外的课程。
34. 细节理解题。根据第五段中的Compared to the control group ... between words based on vowel differences.可知，与对照组相比，音乐学习者和上额外阅读课的学生都能更好地根据元音区分单词。
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的It looks like for ... it s better than extra reading.可知，在识别声音之间的差异方面，包括语音，学习音乐比学习阅读要好。根据It s not worse than ... get rid of the art education and just have more reading.可知，学习乐器不比增加阅读课的效果差，而许多学校取消艺术教育，增加阅读。由此推知，减少音乐课是不明智的。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
36~40.【答案】F、D、B、A、E
【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，介绍幽默感的重要性以及在使用幽默中应该注意什么。
36. 根据上文The sense of humor is one of the most powerful tools you have for getting rid of any source of stress in your life.可知，幽默感是你摆脱生活中任何压力来源的最有力的工具之一，故接下来可能与幽默感的作用有关，F项（此外，笑可以使周围的人都感到愉快。）符合语境，故选F。
37. 根据下文Telling jokes and stories and using team-building games in companies make people have more fun at work.可知，在公司里讲笑话、讲故事、玩团队建设游戏能让人们在工作中更开心。，D项（有很多方法可以将幽默带入工作场所。）符合上下文语境，故选D。
38. 根据下文Humor should be about laughing with rather than laughing at others.（幽默应该是和别人一起笑，而不是嘲笑别人。）介绍了什么是适当的幽默可知，B项（当然，在工作中使用适当的幽默是很重要的。）符合上下文语境，故选B。
39. 根据上文I have even heard speakers make slight dirty jokes on the audience, thinking they would be seen as cool. In fact the audience thought the speakers had no taste.（我甚至听过演讲者对听众开一些下流的玩笑，以为这样会让听众觉得他们很酷。事实上，听众认为演讲者没有品味。）可知，此处应该是这样做的后果如何，A项（结果他们失去了人们的尊重。）符合语境，故选A。
40. 根据上文Humor, if proper, can brighten up the workplace and reduce some of the stress we are all experiencing.（如果使用得当，幽默可以提升工作场所的氛围，减轻我们都在经历的一些压力）可知，E项（所以，花点时间笑一笑，让我们在工作中感到更快乐。）承接上文，符合语境，故选E。

52. 很多同学抓住机会，告诉Bridges他们也很喜欢打篮球。
53. 同学们惊叹于Mikal Bridges的身高，其中一个同学停止了他们的球类游戏，要求跟Mikal Bridges拥抱。be amazed at对……惊叹。

语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）
56.took 57. largest 58. which 59. provided 60. being admitted
61. are 62. Traditionally 63. it 64.on 65. to sit
【解析】
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章简要介绍了被称为“美国高考”的SAT考试。
56.考查动词的时态。本句时间状语为last year，因此这里用动词的过去式。
57.考查形容词的最高级。ever一词暗示这里应用形容词的最高级。ever表示“在任何时候，从来”。
58.考查定语从句。设空后面是一个非限制性定语从句，关系代词which指代前面整个句子。
59.考查非谓语动词。several在这里是代词，指代若干个选项，应用过去分词作后置定语，表示“被提供的”。
60.考查非谓语动词。between是一个介词，这里应用动词-ing形式，且表示“被录取”，因此用动词-ing形式的被动式。
61.考查动词的时态和主谓一致。本句主语为students，再结合语境可知应用一般现在时，故填系动词are。
62.考查词形转换。设空处所填词修饰整个句子，因此应用副词Traditionally。
63.考查代词。这里的代词 it指代上文提到的to take them，也就是“参加考试”这件事。
64.考查介词。具体到某一天前通常用介词on。
65.考查非谓语动词。require sb to do sth表示“要求某人做某事”。sit (for) an exam/a test表示“参加考试”。

As we pushed on, the hike became even tougher. The steep portions seemed endless, and each step required every ounce of our strength and concentration. Sweat trickled down our faces, and our legs felt like jelly. We paused frequently to catch our breath and steady ourselves on the uneven ground. In front of us, the jagged rocks and steep inclines tested our limits. Determined to reach the stone text, Eric and I encouraged each other, inching forward slowly but surely.
When Walter saw us, he rushed to help us. Seeing our struggle, he offered his hand to Eric and supported him over a particularly tricky section. “Take it slow, we ve got this,” Walter smiled reassuringly. With his assistance, we navigated the final stretch of the challenging path. Finally, we stood before the magnificent stone text, filled with a sense of accomplishment and gratitude. The view was breathtaking, and the hike, though arduous, was undoubtedly worth every step.

The Nobel Prizes for 2024 have honored groundbreaking discoveries and achievements that have significantly benefited humankind in various ways. These winners have made remarkable contributions to their respective fields, pushing the boundaries of human knowledge and understanding.
Nobel Prize in Physics
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics to John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton. They employed physics tools to develop methods that paved the way for advanced machine learning. Hopfield created a structure capable of storing and reconstructing information, while Hinton invented a method that independently identifies data properties, crucial for modern artificial neural networks.
Nobel Prize in Chemistry
In Chemistry, the focus was on proteins, vital for life. David Baker achieved the seemingly impossible by crafting entirely new protein types. Demis Hassabis and John Jumper tackled a 50-year-old challenge with their AI model that predicts complex protein structures, holding immense potential.
Nobel Prize in Literature
Han Kang, a South Korean author, won the Nobel Prize in Literature for her intense poetic prose（散文）addressing historical mental scars and exposing human life s weakness. Her unique awareness of body-soul connections and her innovative style have made her a contemporary prose pioneer.
Nobel Peace Prize
The 2024 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Nihon Hidankyo, a grassroots Japanese organization of atomic bomb survivors. This is quite different from other awards given to individuals. It won the prize for its efforts to achieve a world free of nuclear weapons. The organization was formed by survivors of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima（广岛）and Nagasaki（长崎）in 1945.
21.Whose contribution is vital for artificial neural connections
A. Geoffrey Hinton. B. Demis Hassabis. C. Han Kang. D. John Hopfield.

Felicia's father Herminio, in Florida, has to rely on dialysis(透析) to keep him alive as he waits for a kidney donation(捐赠). The poor man is battling stage-5 kidney disease, and has to have a transplant(移植).
Felicia noted that she and her father had always been close, even after she moved to Kansas when she was 13 years old. She added that the distance between them had become especially difficult because of his illness.
The waiting list could take months. Instead of letting her father wait for a long time, Felicia secretly went through the testing process to see if she could be a match for his organ donation. "It's so amazing to me that I can help save a life—and it's my dad's," Felicia said. The father-daughter duo(二人组) are currently going through the final stages of tests to make sure that she can proceed(继续进行) with the organ donation.
While Felicia's donation will most likely save her father's life, the family have to face another problem. Herminio's insurance(保险) will cover the expenses of his surgery but not the additional costs for his medication and recovery. Felicia and her family created the GoFundMe page in hopes of raising $30,000 for the expenses not covered by Herminio's insurance. The page states that Herminio needs at least $8,000 worth of emergency(紧急情况) medications before the surgery. He will also require expensive medications after the surgery(外科手术), Meanwhile, Felicia, who is also a parent and doesn't have a high salary, will need money to travel, pay her bills and find childcare for her son while she recovers.
"I cannot wait to get through the rest of these tests to know for sure that I can do this and I can save him. I will be heart-broken if he's not going to get the transplant," she said. "I'm going to be the one who's going to do it, and I'm going all the way—in 100 percent, full force."
24.What do you know about Herminio
A. He lives together with his daughter. B. He has divorced his wife.
C. He is suffering from kidney problems. D. He is recovering from a serious disease.
25.What did Felicia want to do
A. To wait for an organ donation B. To donate a life-saving kidney to her father.
C. To support her father financially D. To take care of her father in hospital
26.Felieia can be best described as ________.
A. strong and brave B. selfless and determined
C. rich and generous D. hard-working and creative
27.Which of the following might be the best title for the text
A. Poor Family B. An Expensive Surgery
C. A Deadly Disease D. A Priceless Gift
C
Last week, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres created an attractive new term. The era of global warming has ended, he declared dramatically, and the era of “global boiling” has arrived.
You can see why he said it. July was the hottest month on record globally. High temperatures and intense wildfires have raged across the Northern Hemisphere. Marine heatwaves are damaging the world s third-largest coral reef, off Florida. And as greenhouse emissions keep rising, it means many even hotter summers await us.
But critics have made negative comments on the phrase. Obviously, “global boiling” is clearly an exaggeration（夸张）, but “global warming” is now far too weak. Many climate scientists have pushed for the term “global heating” to be used in preference. Similarly, phrases such as “climate crisis” haven t gained enough attention. That s because many of us still feel we haven t seen this crisis with our own eyes.
But that is changing. In the past few years, extreme weather and related events have struck many countries. Australia s Black Summer brought bushfires that burned an area the size of the United Kingdom. Germany suffered serious flooding in 2021. The 2022 flood in Pakistan flooded large parts of the country. China has seen both drought and floods. Savage multi-year droughts have hit the Horn of Africa. India has banned rice exports due to damage from heavy rain.
Opponents of climate action often complain about what they see as the overuse of “crisis talk”. If everything is a crisis, nothing is a crisis.
When Guterres uses highly charged phrases, he s not inviting us to imagine a Hollywood-style disaster. What he s hoping is to make people listen—and act—now we can see what climate change looks like.
Are there better phrases to capture this Possibly. Take the challenge yourself: Can you think up a brief, accurate phrase to cover intensifying local and regional-scale droughts, fires, typhoons and floods You can see how hard it is.
28.What made António Guterres use the phrase “global boiling”
A. The new scientific finding. B. The comments from critics.
C. The present serious situation. D. The future trend in climate change.
29.Why do the phrases like “climate crisis” fail to attract our attention
A. These phrases don t reflect the truth. B. Many disasters haven t been reported.
C. Fewer crises have happened these years. D. Climate disasters haven t happened to us.
30.What does the author try to convey by saying “But that is changing.” in Paragraph 4
A. But the situation is improving. B. But people have realized the danger.
C. But more climate crises have happened. D. But people have taken effective measures.
31.What does the author think of António Guterres s saying “global boiling”
A. It s beyond the truth. B. It s acceptable indeed.
C. He tries to frighten people. D. He aims to please the public.
D
Giving children music lessons won t just introduce them to music—it could also greatly improve their language skills.
While many studies have shown that learning an instrument can affect things like the language ability, it isn t understood if this is a side effect of a general improvement of cognitive（认知的）skills, or something that directly affects language processing.
Now, we are getting closer to an answer, thanks to a study of 74 Chinese kindergarten children, led by Robert Desimone from MIT. For the study, Desimone s team chose children from the Chinese education system, with the support of education officials who wanted to see how it might improve their learning.
The 4-to 5-year-old Mandarin-speaking children in the study were divided into three groups. One group received a 45-minute piano lesson three times a week, while another received extra reading instruction classes. The third group acted as controls, taking no extra lessons beyond their usual classes.
The classes lasted for six months, after which the children were tested on their ability to tell words based on differences in tones, consonants（辅音）, or vowels（元音）. The test results showed that the children who had taken piano lessons performed better at telling the difference between words that differ by a single consonant, when compared with the children who took extra reading pared to the control group, both the music learners and the extra reading group did better in telling the difference between words based on vowel differences.
“It looks like for recognising differences between sounds, including speech sounds; it s better than extra reading. That means schools could pay more attention to music,” Desimone says. “It s not worse than giving extra reading to the children, which is probably what many schools are trying to do—get rid of the art education and just have more reading.”
32.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Learning a musical instrument. B. A study of children s schooling.
C. The Chinese education system. D. Improvement of cognitive skills.
33.What did the third group learn in the study
A. Ways to improve their study. B. Three extra piano lessons a week.
C. Extra lessons about reading tips. D. Nothing except their usual studies.
34.What conclusion did researchers draw at last
A. Learning music improved learners memory.
B. Children taking piano lessons didn t perform well.
C. The extra reading group were good at telling vowels.
D. The piano turned out to be better than other instruments.
35.What can we learn from what Desimone says
A. Children who learn music perform better at school.
B. It isn t wise to cut back on music lessons.
C. Schools will increase reading classes.

The sense of humor is one of the most powerful tools you have for getting rid of any source of stress in your life. 36 We can't over-estimate the importance of the sense of humor too much. In fact, making work fun helps employees perform best and provide quality work.
37 Telling jokes and stories and using team-building games in companies make people have more fun at work. Some companies even have talent shows or hold dance or sports competitions. It just gives employees a break in the day and a chance to laugh at themselves.
38 Humor should be about laughing with rather than laughing at others. We all have probably heard jokes that seemed to bother or hurt others. For example, jokes making fun of employees for their weight, race, religion, etc. are not only harmful to the person, but also can create an unfriendly working environment.
Even if the jokes were intended to be humorous, they may not be received that way. I have even heard speakers make slight dirty jokes on the audience, thinking they would be seen as cool. In fact the audience thought the speakers had no taste. 39 In another case, I heard about a manager who was out partying with co-workers and kidding about how the boss liked certain people more than others. Such jokes actually had damaging effects on people in the company.
Humor, if proper, can brighten up the workplace and reduce some of the stress we are all experiencing. 40
A. And they lost people's respect as a result.

F. In addition, laughter can brighten up the feelings of everyone around.
G. The most obvious way to make your job fun is to learn to find some humor.

第二节 短文续写 (满分25分)
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。
Eric, my husband, and I are enthusiastic hikers. We are attracted by the challenge and beauty of mountain trails（小路）, especially those that lead to sites of historical and cultural significance. Our love for hiking began shortly after we were married, and it has been a passion of ours for many years.
Last month, we visited a national park with the intention of hiking to a location known for its stone text. After many difficulties, we found only one site within the park was open to visitors. To enjoy the stone text in the mountains, we needed to finish a 2.5-mile path, which started from the museum of the park. 2.5 miles didn t sound like a very long hike. We were both just in our seventies but fairly fit, and we thought we could easily do 2.5 miles. However, the worker in the museum warned us that the first mile of the path was steep（陡峭的）and rocky and that it could be very challenging. But we ignored her warning and made up our minds to go.
“2.5 miles is not a big deal. Surely, we could do it if we wear proper boots and start early tomorrow morning,” I whispered to my husband lightheartedly.
The next morning, my husband and I got up early. Before starting our hike, we first reached a place that served breakfast. There, we found a family of three, a young man named Walter, his wife and sister. They would also take the path to watch the stone text. They were warm and friendly and we chatted happily for a while. Before they set off, Walter said that he would see us at the stairs, and we thought no more about it. Twenty minutes later, we also started hiking.
The trail started well and it was pretty much downhill all the way. Then it became more and more challenging. The path became extremely steep and was blocked here and there by huge slippery（湿滑的）rocks, which made each step forward an adventure.
注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右；
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
As we pushed on, the hike became even tougher.

When Walter saw us, he rushed to help us.
