B
One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem-inability read.
In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room”. I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle (小猎犬). I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal friend I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.
There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical (相同的) to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.
Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story, about a dog who,like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on until my lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.
My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.
I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般的) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a Ph.D. in literature and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.
4 What did the mother order the author to do at the age of 12
A. To borrow books in the library. B. To defeat his classmates.
C. To read books in the library. D. To learn to keep pets.
5. Why did the author choose the book of the Beagle
A. Because it was a story of his beagle.
B. Because it presented a picture of a beagle.
C. Because he could read the book without difficulties.
D Because the beagle on the cover looked the same as his dog.
6. What can be inferred from paragraph 4
A. This book’s hero is the author.
B. The author missed his beagle very much.
C. The author and his beagle will run together.
D. The author’s dog returned to the owner’s family.
7. What does the author want to tell us in the end
A. He is proud of his dog.
B. He has owned thousands of books.
C. We can never ignore the charm of a book.
D. We should care more about animals forever.

Did you buy too much bread before heading out for a holiday Did you give up the vegetables that are going bad
In an effort to help eco-conscious consumers, a Geneva nonprofit is speeding up its plan of street-side, free-access public refrigerators that restaurateurs, at-home cooks and others can use to give away food that’s about to go bad. It’s part of a bigger effort by communities in Switzerland and other European countries to do their part for the environment while helping to cut down on food waste.
The nonprofit Free-Go has placed refrigerators and shelves in Geneva where passersby can get fruit, vegetables, bread and other perishables(易变质食品) to take home for free.The program costs about $40,000 to run each year and enjoys the support from the city government. It began a year ago with a single fridge outside a community center in western Geneva and it now has four fridges, strategically placed around town. A fifth one is planned before year’s end.
Free-Go is experimenting with scheduled pickups at apartment buildings to make it easier for residents(居民) to participate in the program. It has also set up a“hotline”that restaurateurs can use to call for the collection of unused food. Free-Go says giver s of food from the private sector, such as restaurants, must make a promise to ensure the given food is safe to eat.
Free-Go says about 1 billion tons of food go to waste every year around the world—using up energy and other resources in the farming and transportation process. Similar food-sharing activities are in place in the capital, Bern, after the idea was imported from Germany.
According to Foodsharing.de, a community group in Germany that started more than a decade ago, more than a half-million people in Germany, Switzerland and Austria have made “the food-sharing initiative an international movement”and have helped save 83 million tons of food from going to waste.
8. How did the Free-Go program start in the beginning
A. With two fridges in a local supermarket.
B. With a single fridge outside in western Geneva.
C. With three fridges distributed in various parks.
D. With a large storage facility in central Geneva.
9. What is the main objective of the Free-Go
A. To promote local restaurants.
B. To provide refrigeration services.
C. To establish a hotline for food collection.
D. To reduce food waste and help the environment.
10. What is the primary purpose of Free-Go’s“hotline”
A. To report refrigerators in bad condition.
B. For residents to schedule food pickups.
C. To provide information about safe food handling.
D. For restaurateurs to call for the collection of unused food.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards the Free-Go’s program
A. Critical. B. Negative. C. Positive. D. Indifferent.
D
If you’re someone who has been worrying about the rise of the robots—hold on there just a second, and let them help you impress your friends with some newfound skills in a foreign language. Using artificial intelligence (AI) to help us learn and improve those skills is not new—some of the online language tools we turn to every day are powered by AI.
But as new technologies flood into the market, now is a great time to take advantage of the tech. And according to experts, these tools aren’t replacing teachers—they’re making their lives easier. One of the things that stops some of us from practicing speaking in a new language is a lack of self-confidence. AI can help—chatbots don’t judge you. Of course, teachers don’t either, but for some people, communicating with a bot may erase that fear of failure or shyness.
The latest chatbots use something called natural language processing that allows them to understand human speech or writing, providing a human-like response right away. While chatbots are extremely useful for learners working individually, teachers can also offer course material and ask an AI system to produce personalized textbooks for groups of students. The AI can also provide feedback (反馈) in seconds—gone are the days of waiting a week for work to be graded.
Past online language tools and games were able to tell you when you were wrong, but they weren’t always able to explain why. Now, not only has that changed, but the explanations are detailed and immediate. But this is not to underestimate the role of the teacher, who can use the technology to help learn more about the strengths and weaknesses of their students and personalize their teaching.
So, if you want to impress your friends with your perfect speech, don’t be afraid of AI.Just think of it as a useful tool for both teachers and language learners, which will give you more time and space to enjoy learning something new!
12. What is the main theme of the article
A. The dangers of Al-robots.
B. The history of online language tools.
C. The benefits of AI in language learning.
D. The role of teachers in the modern classroom.
13. Why might someone prefer communicating with a bot
A. Because bots grade work faster.
B. Because bots provide textbooks.
C. Because bots are more knowledgeable.
D. Because bots may remove the fear of failure or shyness.
14. What is the benefit of AI producing personalized textbooks
A. It saves time for teachers. B. It reduces the cost of education.
C It meets individual students’ needs. D. It provides detailed lesson plans.
15. What word might replace the underlined word “underestimate” in paragraph 4
A. Undervalue. B. Underscore. C. Undertake. D. Understand.

47. 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。
The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath a willow tree. It must be as sick, for the branches were kind of yellow and dry. I was a deserted girl. Endless quarrels with my parents had left me nowhere to go but this desolate (荒无人烟的) corner of the park. As I sat on the bench, things that happened recently began to flash through. Days seemed months to me recently. No cozy home to stay. No happy memories about my life. No considerate family members to talk to. Even the book I was reading was no fun. Not content with life, I had a good reason to frown, for the world was intended to drag me down.
And if that were not enough to ruin my day, a young boy out of breath approached me, all tired from play. He stood right in front of me with his head tilted (倾斜) down and said with great excitement, “Look what I found!” In his hand was a flower. What a pitiful sight, its petals (花瓣) were all worn—not enough rain, or too little light. He must have picked the flower from somewhere shady and sunless, just like where I was staying these days. I couldn’t help being self-pitying. Wanting him to take his dead flower away and go off to play, I faked a smile and then looked away. “Why couldn’t everyone just leave me be!” I thought to myself, upset and gloomy.
But instead of leaving, he sat next to me and placed the flower to his nose and declared loudly with certainty, “It sure smells pretty and it must be beautiful, too. That’s why I picked it; here, it is for you.” The “weed” before me was dying or dead, not vibrant with colors, orange, yellow or red—anyone having eyes can see that clearly! But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and replied, “Just what I need.” Strangely, instead of placing the flower in my hand, he held it in mid-air without any reason or plan.
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。
Casting a curious glance at the boy’s eyes, I was hugely shocked.

【解析】
【导语】本篇是一篇应用文。本文主要介绍了四种特价优惠活动。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据5 Hours’Free Parking中“If you spend 100 yuan or more in RT-Mart, you will receive five hours of free parking.(如果您在大润发消费满100元，您将获得5小时免费停车)”可知，如果在大润发消费满160元，能免费停车5小时。故选A项。
【2题详解】

One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem-inability read.
In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room”. I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle (小猎犬). I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal friend I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.
There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical (相同的) to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.
Under the shade of a bush I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story, about a dog who,like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on until my lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together.
My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.
I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般的) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a Ph.D. in literature and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.
4. What did the mother order the author to do at the age of 12
A. To borrow books in the library. B. To defeat his classmates.
C. To read books in the library. D. To learn to keep pets.
5. Why did the author choose the book of the Beagle
A. Because it was a story of his beagle.
B. Because it presented a picture of a beagle.
C. Because he could read the book without difficulties.
D. Because the beagle on the cover looked the same as his dog.
6. What can be inferred from paragraph 4
A. This book’s hero is the author.
B. The author missed his beagle very much.
C. The author and his beagle will run together.
D. The author’s dog returned to the owner’s family.

Did you buy too much bread before heading out for a holiday Did you give up the vegetables that are going bad
In an effort to help eco-conscious consumers, a Geneva nonprofit is speeding up its plan of street-side, free-access public refrigerators that restaurateurs, at-home cooks and others can use to give away food that’s about to go bad. It’s part of a bigger effort by communities in Switzerland and other European countries to do their part for the environment while helping to cut down on food waste.
The nonprofit Free-Go has placed refrigerators and shelves in Geneva where passersby can get fruit, vegetables, bread and other perishables(易变质食品) to take home for free.The program costs about $40,000 to run each year and enjoys the support from the city government. It began a year ago with a single fridge outside a community center in western Geneva and it now has four fridges, strategically placed around town. A fifth one is planned before year’s end.
Free-Go is experimenting with scheduled pickups at apartment buildings to make it easier for residents(居民) to participate in the program. It has also set up a“hotline”that restaurateurs can use to call for the collection of unused food. Free-Go says giver s of food from the private sector, such as restaurants, must make a promise to ensure the given food is safe to eat.
Free-Go says about 1 billion tons of food go to waste every year around the world—using up energy and other resources in the farming and transportation process. Similar food-sharing activities are in place in the capital, Bern, after the idea was imported from Germany.
According to Foodsharing.de, a community group in Germany that started more than a decade ago, more than a half-million people in Germany, Switzerland and Austria have made “the food-sharing initiative an international movement”and have helped save 83 million tons of food from going to waste.
8. How did the Free-Go program start in the beginning
A. With two fridges in a local supermarket.
B. With a single fridge outside in western Geneva.
C. With three fridges distributed in various parks.
D. With a large storage facility in central Geneva.
9. What is the main objective of the Free-Go
A. To promote local restaurants.
B. To provide refrigeration services.
C. To establish a hotline for food collection.
D. To reduce food waste and help the environment.
10. What is the primary purpose of Free-Go’s“hotline”
A. To report refrigerators in bad condition.
B. For residents to schedule food pickups.
C. To provide information about safe food handling.
D. For restaurateurs to call for the collection of unused food.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards the Free-Go’s program
A. Critical. B. Negative. C. Positive. D. Indifferent.

If you’re someone who has been worrying about the rise of the robots—hold on there just a second, and let them help you impress your friends with some newfound skills in a foreign language. Using artificial intelligence (AI) to help us learn and improve those skills is not new—some of the online language tools we turn to every day are powered by AI.
But as new technologies flood into the market, now is a great time to take advantage of the tech. And according to experts, these tools aren’t replacing teachers—they’re making their lives easier. One of the things that stops some of us from practicing speaking in a new language is a lack of self-confidence. AI can help—chatbots don’t judge you. Of course, teachers don’t either, but for some people, communicating with a bot may erase that fear of failure or shyness.
The latest chatbots use something called natural language processing that allows them to understand human speech or writing, providing a human-like response right away. While chatbots are extremely useful for learners working individually, teachers can also offer course material and ask an AI system to produce personalized textbooks for groups of students. The AI can also provide feedback (反馈) in seconds—gone are the days of waiting a week for work to be graded.
Past online language tools and games were able to tell you when you were wrong, but they weren’t always able to explain why. Now, not only has that changed, but the explanations are detailed and immediate. But this is not to underestimate the role of the teacher, who can use the technology to help learn more about the strengths and weaknesses of their students and personalize their teaching.
So, if you want to impress your friends with your perfect speech, don’t be afraid of AI.Just think of it as a useful tool for both teachers and language learners, which will give you more time and space to enjoy learning something new!
12. What is the main theme of the article
A. The dangers of Al-robots.
B. The history of online language tools.
C. The benefits of AI in language learning.
D. The role of teachers in the modern classroom.
13. Why might someone prefer communicating with a bot
A. Because bots grade work faster.
B. Because bots provide textbooks.
C. Because bots are more knowledgeable.
D. Because bots may remove the fear of failure or shyness.
14. What is the benefit of AI producing personalized textbooks
A. It saves time for teachers. B. It reduces the cost of education.
C. It meets individual students’ needs. D. It provides detailed lesson plans.
15. What word might replace the underlined word “underestimate” in paragraph 4
A. Undervalue. B. Underscore. C. Undertake. D. Understand.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是人工智能在语言学习中带给人们的好处。

【解析】
【导语】本篇是说明文，主要介绍了发生在太平洋周围地区的一些地震情况。
【36题详解】
考查固定短语，时态和主谓一致。句意：中国位于世界上地震最活跃的地区之一，发生了许多可怕的地震。be situated in是固定短语，意为“位于”，句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语China是一个国家，因此空格处是is situated。故填is situated。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意：其中最严重的一次发生在1556年的陕西省华县。根据语境可知，句子表示“其中最严重的一次发生在1556年的陕西省华县”，空格处表示“在……当中”，用介词of表范围，故填of。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意：总共有83万人丧生。空格处用副词totally作状语，修饰整个句子，位于句首，首字母大写，故填Totally。
【39题详解】
考查连词。句意：它发生在早上5点15分，只持续了一分钟。took place和lasted之间是并列关系，句子是肯定句，因此空格处用and表并列，故填and。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意：然而，它造成了这个国家历史上最严重的自然灾害。空格处用形容词natural作定语，修饰名词disaster，natural意为“自然的”，故填natural。
【41题详解】
考查时态。句意：加州地震引起的火灾造成的损失最大。由下文The fires burned可知，句子表示过去的事情，时态用一般过去时，空格处用过去式，故填did。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：大火持续了三天，总共烧毁了两万五千幢建筑。句中谓语是burned，空格处用非谓语动词，fires和destroy之间是主谓关系，因此空格处用现在分词作状语，故填destroying。
【43题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意：在整个加州，地震和火灾造成了大约3000人死亡。空前有3,000，空格处用复数，故填deaths。
【44题详解】
考查定冠词。句意：1906年的地震是由圣安德烈亚斯断层的运动引起的。空格处用定冠词the特指1906年的地震，位于句首，首字母大写，故填The。
【45题详解】
考查不定式。句意：一百年后，圣安德烈亚斯断层的运动继续给整个加州带来问题。continue to do是固定短语，意为“继续做某事”，因此空格处是不定式to cause。故填to cause。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath a willow tree. It must be as sick, for the branches were kind of yellow and dry. I was a deserted girl. Endless quarrels with my parents had left me nowhere to go but this desolate (荒无人烟的) corner of the park. As I sat on the bench, things that happened recently began to flash through. Days seemed months to me recently. No cozy home to stay. No happy memories about my life. No considerate family members to talk to. Even the book I was reading was no fun. Not content with life, I had a good reason to frown, for the world was intended to drag me down.
And if that were not enough to ruin my day, a young boy out of breath approached me, all tired from play. He stood right in front of me with his head tilted (倾斜) down and said with great excitement, “Look what I found!” In his hand was a flower. What a pitiful sight, its petals (花瓣) were all worn—not enough rain, or too little light. He must have picked the flower from somewhere shady and sunless, just like where I was staying these days. I couldn’t help being self-pitying. Wanting him to take his dead flower away and go off to play, I faked a smile and then looked away. “Why couldn’t everyone just leave me be!” I thought to myself, upset and gloomy.
But instead of leaving he sat next to me and placed the flower to his nose and declared loudly with certainty, “It sure smells pretty and it must be beautiful, too. That’s why I picked it; here, it is for you.” The “weed” before me was dying or dead, not vibrant with colors, orange, yellow or red—anyone having eyes can see that clearly! But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and replied, “Just what I need.” Strangely, instead of placing the flower in my hand, he held it in mid-air without any reason or plan.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

Casting a curious glance at the boy’s eyes, I was hugely shocked.

“I had to make a change,” I thought to myself.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Casting a curious glance at the boy’s eyes, I was hugely shocked. In the pure and sunny face were just a pair of eyes, somewhat hollow and focusless. “He was blind!” I felt myself choked as if there were a lump in my throat. With watery eyes, I took the flower from his hand carefully and praised it as the very best one. “Have a nice day!” the boy smiled broadly and then ran off briskly before I had time to convey the slightest appreciation. I sat there and wondered how a blind little boy managed to see a self-pitying girl under a sick willow tree and how he even knew clearly of my dreadful despair.
“I had to make a change,” I thought to myself. For all of those times I myself had been blind towards the world around me. Somehow, through the eyes of the blind boy, at last I could see my real problem. I promised to step out of the shady corner, open my eyes to the beauty of the world. Holding the wilted flower up to my nose, I took a deep sniff. A wave of faint fragrance lingering in my heart, I couldn’t help smiling just as the boy had done. Never did he know that his weed-like flower brought the first glimmer of sunshine to a girl’s deserted world.
【解析】
【导语】本文以事件发展以及人物的心理活动为线索，讲述了作者觉得自己被世界所抛弃，而变得自怨自艾。有一天当作者在一个公园偏僻角落读书时，一个失明的小男孩送给作者一朵花。小男孩阳光爱笑，虽然那是一朵萎蔫的花，但是小男孩却喜欢它的清香，想象它的美丽。相比之下，作者拥有可以看到世界光明的双眼，却总是躲在暗处，只盯着自己世界不好的一面。由此，作者决定做出改变，走出阴霾，乐观地去看待这个美丽的世界。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我好奇地看了一眼小男孩的眼睛，然后惊呆了。”可知，第一段可描写作者发现小男孩看不见后的感受，以及接下来作者的做法。
