二、阅读理解
♦World Series, the United States
    A century's worth of the World Series has seen many thrilling matches. To get to the series, each of the 32 teams in the major leagues must experience a 162-game season, followed by three playoffs(季后赛). The first is a best-of-five series, followed by two best-of-seven series.
♦Super Bowl, the United States
    The Super Bowl is so big that even the commercials are worth watching. When it was held for the first time in 1967, there were plenty of empty seats and it appealed to a small TV audience. It is the competition between the top team from the American Football Conference and the top team from the National Football Conference for the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
♦24 Hours of Le Mans, France
    Skill, speed and stamina(耐力) are the three dimensions that mark the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The competition is set on a non-permanent track at Circuit de la Sarthe near the city of Le Mans in France. The winner is the car, driven by a team of three drivers, which covers the greatest distance in 24 hours. The first Le Mans contest took place in May 1923. Today it is held every June.
♦Polo at Palermo, Argentina
    Argentine polo is considered the best in the world. It's no wonder the Argentine Open Championship is the top draw for the sport's best players and fans. The tournament, first known as the River Plata Polo Championship, takes place between late November and early December. First held in 1893, the tournament is older than the tango.
21、What do we know about the Super Bowl?

C. Few people watch it on the spot.
D. The Vince Lombardi Trophy is its official name.
22、What kind of race is the 24 Hours of Le Mans?

As children we are well-trained to find the right answer. We are rewarded for A's, the honor roll and acing the test. Our education trains us to follow the rules and deliver the expected answers. When we do, awards and congratulations follow. Yet when we grow up, it gets a little harder. Life and careers don’t have tests with an A if we get the “right” answer.
I recently had coffee with a college student who will graduate. She is struggling with what she wants for her career. She wants her parents to be proud of her and to continue the success she has had in school. She also talked about other students in her graduating class who are set to do "some big things," like working for impressive companies. Yet she wasn't sure of the right answer for using her degree. She said that deep down she was hoping that someone might give her the answer.
We both agreed that it comes down to not looking for the right answer, but her answer. The grown-up definition of the “right answer” is different than that in school. What would you do if you weren't afraid? It takes time to know these answers. And they can change over time and at any point in your career. My encouragement is to get valued advice and input, of course, but finally to look within yourself for the answers. It helps to come back to:
What do I want to be known for? What is my definition of success? What am I best at? If I had no fears, what would I do? What is one step I can take today to move me toward my goal (even if it's not perfectly clear)?
I find these types of questions are more helpful at getting to our unique answer rather than “right answer” questions, such as: What will my parents want? What degree or job will mark me as accomplished to the world? What is my best option based on where I work today?
24、What does the author mean to say in the first paragraph?
A.Life is harder for adults than children.
B.Academic excellence is not necessary.
C.It is not helpful to follow the rules in school.
D.Rules in life are different from those in school.
25、What is wrong with the college student?
A.She does badly in her studies.
B.Her parents are not proud of her.
C.She feels puzzled about her life career.
D.She is not sure whether to do" some big things".
26、When looking for the answer in life, you need to_____.
A. trust your parents B. listen to your heart
C. follow valued advice D. learn from your classmates
27、Which of the following questions might not help you to seek your answer?
A.What do I love to do?
B.What matters most to me in life?
C.What will make me look successful?
D.What will I regret not doing when I'm 80?
New research has shown that a fungus(真菌) skin could provide a new alternative to some plastics used in computer chips(芯片), making them easier to recycle. The researchers were working on new materials to replace plastics, when they made the discovery.
At the time, a member of the team had been looking at using fungus materials for use in other areas. This work led to the latest study, which shows how Ganoderma lucidum(灵芝) skin could work as an alternative.
The team discovered that Ganoderma lucidum, which grows on rotten hardwood trees, forms a skin to protect its growth medium (the wood). “It does so in order to protect itself,” Kaltenbrunner, one of the researchers, said, explaining that the team were able to get this protection by removing the skin and drying it. The skin is slightly less insulating(绝缘的) than plastics, but it still works safely and successfully, with a thickness similar to paper and the ability to stand temperatures over 200℃.
The skin has many qualities that make it different from other materials. Kaltenbrunner said, “But most importantly, it can grow in waste wood and does not need too much energy.
“The skin is very proper because it can last a long time if kept dry, but in just a standard family compost, it would break down entirely within two weeks or less,” he added.
While the team’s work is experimental and a long way from being brought into use, they believe the skin could be a new alternative material for use in electronics. “There are large amounts of waste wood,” Kaltenbrunner said, “which is a lot of food for Ganoderma lucidum.”
28、What is an advantage of the fungus skin?
A. It is thicker than plastics. B. It can stand low temperatures.
C. It is environmentally friendly. D. It can keep wet for a long time.
29、What is the researchers’ attitude to the future of the fungus skin?
A. Uncertain. B. Unfriendly. C. Flexible. D. Positive.
30、In which section of a newspaper can you read the text?
A.Geography. B. Fashion. C. Science. D. Culture.
31、What may be the best title for the text?
A.An alternative to plastics B.A new use of a fungus skin
C.The introduction to funguses D.The function of fungus materials
Have you ever read back something you’ve written and felt like it’s not quite as strong as you’d like? One possible reason is that you overuse crutch words(拐杖词). So, what are crutch words?
Crutch words are words a speaker or a writer uses without knowing it. They are usually not needed and don’t add to the story. If someone is speaking, you’ll recognize a crutch word as a pause, or if the speaker uses “um” or “ah” a lot. Crutch words in the conversation also include favorite words and phrases, such as “you know”, “anyway”, “just”, “all right” and “like”. They only give the speaker time to think before they move on to the next idea.
For writers, crutch words operate in much the same way, but instead of a pause, they’re filler words we use because we haven’t thought the sentence through enough. They’re words that are easy. They flow naturally into the space that could easily be occupied by a slight rewriting of a sentence or a different word choice.
Now that you know what crutch words are, the question is how you can get rid of them. It’s not always easy to notice your own writing quirks(怪癖), so it might take a bit of hard work to find what yours are.
The next time you sit down to read over your writing, look carefully for repeated words or phrases. Mark them so they’re easy to find later. Look at both an old and a new piece of writing and compare the two. Are there phrases or words you use a lot that are common to both? If yes, then you’ve found your crutch words.
Once you’ve known your crutch words, they’re easy to cut out later. But don’t be afraid if you find them in your first draft. Eliminating those words is exactly what revision is for.
32、What might an article with too many crutch words be like?
A. Formal. B. Weak. C. Quality. D. Easy.
33、Which statement will the author probably agree with?
A.Crutch words are normally unnecessary.
B.Crutch words are unavoidable.
C.Crutch words give writers time to think.
D.Crutch words give writers different word choices.
34、What does the author think about finding crutch words?
A.It’s interesting. B. It’s strange.
C. It’s questionable. D. It’s a bit difficult.
35、What does the underlined word “Eliminating” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Returning. B. Removing. C. Recording. D. Remembering.

54、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，续写词数应为150左右
Last Saturday, David was taking a walk in the park near his home when he noticed a woman with a boy of about eight years old. When David passed them, he heard the woman yell, “How stupid you are! You're good at nothing.” David stopped and looked at the little boy. The boy said nothing. He just stood there, looking upset.
David was reminded of his English teacher Mrs Brown in middle school. After he entered middle school, David lacked self-confidence because he was often made fun of by others. He was often told that he was good at nothing, which David believed. But one day it all changed.
One day, in an English writing class, Mrs Brown asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new chapter of the novel after they finished reading the book. A few days later, David handed in his story. He didn't give it much thought. But the next day to his surprise, the comment “well done” from Mrs Brown came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written.
When David read that, he almost burst into tears. He never expected to be praised one day. He suddenly gained some self-confidence.
That day after he returned home, he wrote a short story and gave it to Mrs Brown the next morning. And again he was praised.
David became very interested in writing. He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs Brown to read them and correct them for him. Mrs Brown always correct them for him. Mrs Brown always corrected the mistakes he had made and gave him good advice to improve them. One year later, David joined the school newspaper and became an editor of it. He was no longer that boy who lacked self-confidence. He gained his confidence and was hopeful about his future.
He succeeded in entering college and kept writing. Several years after graduating from college, he had his first book published. With some more books coming out, he became famous as a writer in his country. And he owed his success to Mrs Brown's encouragement. Without her encouragement, his life might be very different now.
Paragraph 1:
Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The mother was ashamed when she heard that.

17、答案：A
解析：M: Hi, my name’s Sam Conti and my job is making and selling chocolate. People often ask how I got into this business. Well, my parents wanted me to study medicine or economics at university, but at the time I thought law might open more doors, so that’s what I did. But life doesn’t always work out the way you plan it. After college, I spent one year in South America, where I fell in love with growing cocoa beans. It is not an easy job, because cocoa beans can be easily affected by weather—much more than other fruit like apples or bananas. In fact, the beans are more like grapes, so each year’s crop is of a different quality.
When I came home, I decided to open a small shop making and selling my own chocolate. That was hard work I can tell you, because so much can go wrong with chocolate. The hardest bit is melting it in the right way, but cooling it correctly isn’t easy either. To learn the trade, I set about testing all the chocolate I could find. Another thing I like to do is write up my experiments. I keep a diary for this. It’s the key to my success.

解析：推理判断题。根据第一段Have you ever read back something you've written and felt like it's not quite as strong as you'd like? One possible reason is that you overuse crutch words(拐杖词).

33、答案：A

34、答案：D
解析：观点态度题。根据第四段It's not always easy to notice your own writing quirks, so it might take a bit of hard work to find what yours are.(注意到你自己的写作怪癖并不总是容易的,所以要找到你的怪癖可能需要一点努力。)可知,注意到自己的写作怪癖(指乱用拐杖词)并不容易。由此可以推断出,找出拐杖词有一点困难。故选D。
35、答案：B
解析：词义推测题。根据最后一段Once you've known your crutch words, they're easy to cut out later. But don't be afraid if you find them in your first draft. Eliminating those words is exactly what revision is for.(一旦你知道了你的拐杖词,以后就很容易删掉了。但是如果你在初稿中发现了它们,不要害怕。删除那些单词正是复习的目的。)可知,我们发现了拐杖词就要删除它们。因此Eliminating的意思是"去除,删除"。A.Returning.归还;B.Removing.去除,删除;C.Recording.记录;D.Remembering.记住。故选B。

⑤联系上文题。根据上文According to a survey covering more than 100 educators and over 1,000 students, one-third of the educators said they believe ChatGPT should be banned in schools and universities, while the rest supported students having access to it. The attitude of most students sees a distinct difference.(根据一项涵盖100多名教育工作者和1000多名学生的调查,三分之一的教育工作者表示,他们认为中小学和大学应该禁止ChatGPT,而其余的人则支持学生使用ChatGPT。大多数学生的态度有明显的不同。)可知,在ChatGPT的使用问题上,大多数学生与教育工作者态度不一样,A项"他们承认曾向ChatGPT寻求帮助以完成作业。"其中的They指代上文的学生,大多数学生支持学生使用ChatGPT,上下文语意衔接连贯,故选A项。

52、答案：①were made②popularity③which④developed⑤with/by⑥gradually⑦to preserve⑧activities⑨and⑩increasing
解析：①考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:根据一些学术研究,糖画起源于明代,当时糖动物和人物被制成模具,作为宗教仪式祭祀的一部分。分析句子结构可知,when引导定语从句,关系副词when指代先行词the Ming Dynasty,在从句中作时间状语,从句应用一般过去时,且主语sugar animals and figures和动词make之间为被动关系,应用一般过去时的被动语态;主语animals and figures为复数,所以be动词用were。故填were made。
②考查不可数名词。句意:在清朝,糖画更受欢迎。分析句子结构可知,该空作gained的宾语,应用名词popularity,不可数名词。故填popularity。
③考查定语从句。句意:制作工艺不断升级,图案也更加丰富多彩,多代表吉祥,如鱼、龙、猴等。分析句子结构可知,此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为表示物的名词patterns,关系词在从句中作most of的宾语,应用关系代词which。故填which。
④考查动词时态。句意:后来,四川的民间艺人通过添加中国皮影和中国剪纸的技术发展了这门艺术。分析句子结构可知,develop在句中作谓语动词。结合Afterward可知,讲述过去发生的事,句子应用一般过去时;主语和谓语动词之间是主动关系。故填developed。

⑥考查副词。句意:随着时间的推移,糖画的当代形式逐渐演变。分析句子结构可知,空处修饰谓语evolved,应用副词形式作状语。故填gradually。
⑦考查动词不定式。句意:虽然由于其独特的魅力,糖画画家的数量有所减少,但也有不少画家通过开设课程、举办糖画大赛、申请国家非物质文化遗产等活动,努力保护糖画。固定搭配make efforts to do sth"努力做某事"。故填to preserve。
⑧考查可数名词的复数。句意:虽然由于其独特的魅力,糖画画家的数量有所减少,但也有不少画家通过开设课程、举办糖画大赛、申请国家非物质文化遗产等活动,努力保护糖画。activity活动,是可数名词,根据空后列举的活动可知,活动不止一个,应用名词复数形式。故填activities。
⑨考查连词。句意:如今,这门艺术又得到了公众的支持,它已经被四川省人民政府列为省级非物质文化遗产。分析句子结构可知,前后句之间是并列关系。故填and。
⑩考查形容词。句意:此外,糖画艺术家也得到了越来越多的认可。分析句子结构可知,此处修饰后面的名词recognition,需要用到形容词作定语,形容词increasing越来越多的。故填increasing。

54、答案：
Paragraph 1:
Inspired by his own life story, David decided to do something for that boy. He went to the woman, who immediately recognized him because she had read his books and seen his pictures. David started to chat with her. He told her that what she said to her boy was not appropriate. Then he told her about the encouragement he once got from Mrs Brown. In the end, he said, “I couldn’t have become a writer if I had believed I was good at nothing.”
Paragraph 2:
The mother was ashamed when she heard that. She realized that she shouldn’t have called her son stupid, which would make his lose confidence in himself. So she said, “Thank you for your advice. I’ll never say such things to him again. Instead, I’ll find out what he’s good at and encourage him.” The woman then left with the boy. Looking at the back of the boy, David felt relieved, hoping his action could make some difference to the boy.
