Betty Sandison was having lunch with some friends when the subject of wish lists came up. Although she had spent more than 30 years working as a registered nurse, Betty told her friends that she regretted never finishing the bachelor’s degree she’d started more than 67 years earlier.
Betty was the first person in her family to pursue higher education. With a dream of becoming a nurse, Betty enrolled at the University of Minnesota. But when she was just 25 credits short of getting her degree, for some reason, Betty dropped out of school and soon got married. Her career was put on hold as the couple moved around for her husband’s job, spending time living in different places.
Many years later, Betty returned to community college to become a registered nurse. She worked as a nurse for more than 30 years before retiring in 2013.
But in 2018, she still felt regretful over her unfinished degree. Encouraged by her friends, Betty decided to return to university to complete her bachelor’s degree. She chose to live in the dormitory and got on well with her roommates. She enrolled in classes and started working on those last 25 credits. However, she was discouraged by the new technology used when taking online courses during the coronavirus pandemic. Even so, Betty persevered.
At age 84, Betty got her bachelor’s degree in Multidisciplinary Studies from the College of Continuing and Professional Studies. She described the accomplishment as “pure joy, pure satisfaction”. Betty may even audit (旁听) college classes now that her degree is complete. She is not sure what’s next, but there’s one thing she does know: Life’s too short to live with regrets!
24．Why didn’t Betty get her bachelor’s degree?
A．Because she decided to marry her beloved one.
B．Because she didn’t achieve the required credits.
C．Because she dropped out of school to work as a nurse.
D．Because she volunteered to fight the coronavirus pandemic.
25．What made Betty less confident during her pursuit of her bachelor’s degree?
A．The difficult courses. B．The new technology.
C．The coronavirus pandemic. D．The interpersonal relationship.
26．Which of the following can best describe Betty?
A．Accomplished and friendly. B．Popular and caring.
C．Determined and hard-working. D．Ambitious and responsible.
27．What message does this passage convey?
A．Genius is nothing but labor and diligence.
B．Not matter of the today will drag tomorrow.
C．Be the change you want to see in the world.
D．It is never too late to cross items off the wish list.
【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了年事已高的贝蒂·桑迪森在和朋友闲聊的时候谈到她后悔没有完成67年前开始的学士学位，于是她回到大学继续完成未完成的学分并获得学士学位。贝蒂·桑迪森认为，生命太短，不能带着遗憾生活。
24．B【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“But when she was just 25 credits short of getting her degree, for some reason, Betty dropped out of school and soon got married.(但当贝蒂离获得学位只差25个学分时，出于某种原因，她辍学了，很快就结婚了)”可知，贝蒂未能得到学习学位的原因是没有修够学分，故选B。
25．B【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段“However, she was discouraged by the new technology used when taking online courses during the coronavirus pandemic.(然而，她对新冠疫情期间参加在线课程时使用的新技术感到沮丧)”可知，在攻读学士学位的过程中，让贝蒂感到不那么自信的是新技术，故选B。
26．C【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段“Betty decided to return to university to complete her bachelor’s degree(贝蒂决定回到大学完成她的学士学位)”以及“However, she was discouraged by the new technology used when taking online courses during the coronavirus pandemic. Even so, Betty persevered.(然而，她对新冠疫情期间参加在线课程时使用的新技术感到沮丧。尽管如此，贝蒂还是坚持了下来)”可知，贝蒂是一个很坚定，且努力工作的人，故选C。
27．D【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段“At age 84, Betty got her bachelor’s degree in Multidisciplinary Studies from the College of Continuing and Professional Studies.(84岁时，贝蒂在继续与专业研究学院获得了多学科研究学士学位)”以及“Life’s too short to live with regrets(生命太短，不能带着遗憾生活)”可知，本文要传达的是实现自己的愿望，年龄再大都不迟，故选D。

Bilinguals are smarter, says science. But the idea is relatively new. Up until the 1970s, most educators had believed that learning two languages at the same time would confuse children and slow their cognitive growth.
Science disagreed with these opinions, says Ellen Bialystok, a professor of psychology. The arrival of new technology in the 1970s allowed scientists a new way to investigate how different brains process language.
Bialystok has been researching the bilingual brain for decades. She firmly believes bilinguals aren’t smarter than the single-language learners, but bilingual brains differ in their use of executive function-a system that both helps the brain access particular regions or memories and allows a person to switch between tasks.
Contrary to media reports, executive function is not the same as intelligence, Bialystok adds. Even if the relationship between bilingualism and actual intelligence is unclear, executive function can help people do a lot of things that may make them seem smarter, such as doing more things at the same time and cancelling out things that take their attention away.
Many people believe that knowing at least one other language makes it easier to learn a new one, and cognitive function may play a part in that-the equivalent of good study habits for your brain. But Bialystok thinks cognitive function has less impact on language learners than the similarities between languages’ structure and vocabulary. “In learning those patterns, you can get a bit of a free ride in learning a new language,” she says. Despite the overall cognitive benefits, bilingualism may present some disadvantages. When children learn vocabulary, monolinguals can spend more time remembering words in one language, while bilinguals have to construct two different vocabularies.
“The biggest advantage in being bilingual is the same as having great international friends: It allows a person to understand a different way of thinking, with unique philosophies and assumptions about how others see the world,” Bialystok adds.
28．What did most educators think of children’s bilingualism before the 1970s?
A．It surely made kids smarter. B．It could be a terrible experience.
C．It should be taught separately. D．It may promote cognitive growth.
29．What can make learning a new language easy according to Bialystok?
A．Executive function. B．Cognitive function.
C．Similar language patterns. D．Good study habits.
30．What is Bialystok’s attitude toward bilingualism?
A．Skeptical. B．Conservative. C．Tolerant. D．Objective.
31．Which could be the best title for the text?
A．Are bilinguals really smarter? B．Should kids learn another language?
C．Why do bilinguals have an advantage? D．What factors affect language learning?
【语篇解读】本文是说明文。文章探讨了双语学习能否使人变得更聪明这一话题。
28．B【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段“Up until the 1970s, most educators had believed that learning two languages at the same time would confuse children and slow their cognitive growth.(直到20世纪70年代，大多数教育工作者都认为同时学习两种语言会让孩子感到困惑，减缓他们的认知发展)”可推知，20世纪70年代前，教育家认为学习双语是糟糕的经历。故选B。
29．C【解析】细节理解题。根据第五段“But Bialystok thinks cognitive function has less impact on language learners than the similarities between languages’ structure and vocabulary.(但Bialystok认为，认知功能对语言学习者的影响不如语言结构和词汇之间的相似性大)”可知，Bialystok认为语言结构的相似性对于新语言的学习起到重要的作用。故选C。
30．D【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段“Contrary to media reports, executive function is not the same as intelligence, Bialystok adds. Even if the relationship between bilingualism and actual intelligence is unclear, executive function can help people do a lot of things that may make them seem smarter, such as doing more things at the same time and cancelling out things that take their attention away.(Bialystok补充说，与媒体报道相反，执行功能并不等同于智力。尽管双语能力和实际智力之间的关系尚不清楚，但执行功能可以帮助人们做很多让他们看起来更聪明的事情，比如同时做更多的事情，消除分心的事情)”和最后一段““The biggest advantage in being bilingual is the same as having great international friends: It allows a person to understand a different way of thinking, with unique philosophies and assumptions about how others see the world,” Bialystok adds.( Bialystok补充说：“掌握双语的最大优势就像拥有伟大的国际朋友一样:它让一个人理解不同的思维方式，以及对他人如何看待世界的独特哲学和假设。”)”可推知，Bialystok对双语学习的态度是客观的、就事论事的。故选D。
31．A【解析】主旨大意题。根据第一段“Bilinguals are smarter, says science. But the idea is relatively new. Up until the 1970s, most educators had believed that learning two languages at the same time would confuse children and slow their cognitive growth.(科学表明，双语者更聪明。但这个想法相对较新。直到20世纪70年代，大多数教育工作者都认为同时学习两种语言会让孩子感到困惑，减缓他们的认知发展)”以及第二段“Science disagreed with these opinions, says Ellen Bialystok, a professor of psychology. The arrival of new technology in the 1970s allowed scientists a new way to investigate how different brains process language.(心理学教授Ellen Bialystok说，科学不同意这些观点。20世纪70年代新技术的出现让科学家们有了新的方法来研究不同的大脑如何处理语言)”结合通读全文可知，文章主要探讨了双语学习能否使人变得更聪明这一话题。A选项“双语者真的更聪明吗？”最符合文章标题。故选A。
D
Let’s face it—most of us can’t resist a cup of tea or coffee sometimes. They’re a perfect pick-me-up and comforter. But there are alternative drinks, so why have we chosen these as our go-to drinks to soothe our busy lives? And which one is superior?
Let’s start with tea-it’s the second most consumed drink in the world. For many-especially the British-having a “cuppa” is a daily practice. The caffeine contained in it helps wake you up in the morning, and throughout the day we’ll make a brew to distract us from our work. And according to some scientists, habitual tea consumption can have some health benefits. Andrew Steptoe, a professor from University College London’s Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, told BBC Food that drinking black tea “may speed up recovery from the daily stresses in life. . . but we do not know what ingredients of tea were responsible for these effects on stress recovery and relaxation”.
Coffee is tea’s ＂trendier＂ rival(对手). Its popularity has grown over the years, and this is reflected in the number of coffee shops we see around-places to hang out, do business or catch up with friends. Coffee can taste great and can be served in many ways, but it’s sometimes how you have it that can be seen as a status symbol or the preserve of hipsters(潮人)I Of course, it gives you a strong caffeine hit-roughly double of that contained in tea. However, too much can lead to anxiety. Sleep scientist Matt Walker told the BBC that caffeine can decrease the amount of restorative deep sleep you have.
But some scientists say drinking coffee-and green tea-can also be good for us. Researchers at Osaka University linked drinking a daily cup of coffee with a lower risk of death among both stroke survivors and healthy people, while drinking seven or more cups of green tea was associated with a lower risk of death among both heart attack and stroke survivors. So, whether we turn to coffee or tea for its taste, its image or as a lifestyle choice, it could be a lifesaver!
32．What does the underlined word“soothe”in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．Change. B．Relieve.
C．Describe. D．Copy.
33．It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that ____.
A．tea is the most consumed drink in the world
B．the caffeine in tea can cure people of illness
C．tea helps promote our careers and friendship
D．the ingredients of tea help people forget trouble
34．Which of the following may Matt Walker agree with?
A．Too much coffee is not good for sleep.
B．Black tea speeds up recovery from the daily stresses.
C．Coffee is surely more popular than tea.
D．Drinking a daily cup of coffee guarantees a long life.
35．In which section can you read the passage on a magazine website?
A．Technology. B．Entertainment.
C．Business. D．Health.
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了茶和咖啡深受人们喜爱，并简单说明了喝茶或咖啡的好处。
32．B【解析】词句猜测题。根据第一段前两句“Let’s face it—most of us can’t resist a cup of tea or coffee sometimes.They’re a perfect pick-me-up and comforter(让我们认清现实吧——大多数人有时都无法抗拒一杯茶或咖啡。它们是一种完美的鼓舞和安慰)”可知茶和咖啡有提神、安慰的作用，结合划线单词后的“our busy lives”可知茶和咖啡能缓解我们忙碌的生活，由此可知划线词词义为“缓解”，故选B。
33．D【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段“Andrew Steptoe, a professor from University College London’s Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, told BBC Food that drinking black tea “may speed up recovery from the daily stresses in life. . . but we do not know what ingredients of tea were responsible for these effects on stress recovery and relaxation”.(伦敦大学学院流行病学和公共卫生学系教授Andrew Steptoe告诉BBC食品频道说，喝红茶“可以加快从日常生活压力中恢复过来……但我们不知道茶中的哪些成分对压力恢复和放松有这些效果。”)”可知，茶里的某些成分有减轻压力、放松的效果，即让人们暂时忘记让他们烦恼的事情。故选D。
34．A【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句“However, too much can lead to anxiety. Sleep scientist Matt Walker told the BBC that caffeine can decrease the amount of restorative deep sleep you have. (然而，过多会导致焦虑。睡眠科学家Matt Walker告诉BBC，咖啡因会减少让人恢复精力的深度睡眠。)”可知过度地饮用咖啡不利于睡眠。故选A。
35．D【解析】推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“ Researchers at Osaka University linked drinking a daily cup of coffee with a lower risk of death among both stroke survivors and healthy people, while drinking seven or more cups of green tea was associated with a lower risk of death among both heart attack and stroke survivors. So, whether we turn to coffee or tea for its taste, its image or as a lifestyle choice, it could be a lifesaver!(大阪大学的研究人员发现，在中风幸存者和健康人群中，每天喝一杯咖啡的死亡风险较低，而在心脏病发作和中风幸存者中，喝七杯或更多绿茶的死亡风险较低。所以，无论我们选择咖啡还是茶是因为它的味道、它的形象或作为一种生活方式的选择，它都可能是我们的救命稻草！)”可知这篇文章主要告诉读者喝茶或者咖啡对身体有好处。所以这篇文章取自于杂志的“健康”部分。故选D。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
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。
When we answer questions with silence, it is often very powerful indeed. ___36___ For some people, silence comes naturally. But there are quite a few of us who need to learn the art of practicing silence. Read on for more reasons to try silence in your daily communications.
Silence gets people’s attention
If you have ever been in a classroom, you have most likely experienced how silence often gets everyone’s attention. When the teacher stops talking, a signal goes to the brain that something has happened. 37 The same is true in our daily conversations. If we fall silent, people will notice it and we gain their attention.
Silence uses body language
Often our body language is a more powerful way of communicating than what comes out of our mouth. ___38___The ability to understand and use body language is a powerful tool that can help you connect with others, express what you really mean, and build better relationships.
Silence offers sympathy for others
There are times in life when silence offers sympathy and understanding to others. Sometimes we simply don’t have the right words to communicate to someone who is struggling with a hurtful or painful situation. But we can still show them that we care and we are there for them. ___39___
Silence is polite
___40___ They may be radio broadcasts, news channels, stores and the constant chatter of people around us. So when we do get the chance to talk, we usually feel like we have to fill every thought into a short period of time. However, when we are silent we give others a chance to speak. We show them that they matter.
A．We can offer comfort by our calming silence.
B．The silence often leaves the other person puzzled.
C．To comfort them, you may tell them a similar painful situation.
D．Often the other person would quickly get the needed answer in silence.
E．Our facial expressions, eye contact, and even tone of voice speak the loudest.
F．We live in a society where we are fighting with so many sources of information.
G．All of a sudden, you pay attention and wonder why communication has stopped.
【语篇解读】本文是说明文。介绍了我们日常交流中尝试保持沉默的原因。
36．D【解析】根据上文“When we answer questions with silence, it is often very powerful indeed.(当我们用沉默回答问题时，它往往是非常有力的)”可知，上文提到用沉默回答问题，即对方从沉默中找到答案。故D选项“通常对方会在沉默中很快得到所需的答案”符合语境，故选D。
37．G【解析】根据上文“If you have ever been in a classroom, you have most likely experienced how silence often gets everyone’s attention. When the teacher stops talking, a signal goes to the brain that something has happened.(如果你曾经在教室里，你很有可能经历过沉默通常如何吸引每个人的注意力。当老师停止讲话时，大脑就会收到一个信号，表明发生了什么事)”可知，上文提到的老师停止讲话，这吸引了学生的注意力，由此推知，你很有可能集中精力想到底是什么导致老师停止了讲话。故G选项“突然间，你集中注意力，想知道为什么交流停止了”符合语境，故选G。
38．E【解析】根据上文“Often our body language is a more powerful way of communicating than what comes out of our mouth.(通常我们的肢体语言是一种比从我们嘴里说出来的东西更强大的交流方式)”以及后文“The ability to understand and use body language is a powerful tool that can help you connect with others, express what you really mean, and build better relationships.(理解和使用肢体语言的能力是一个强大的工具，可以帮助你与他人联系，表达你的真正意思，并建立更好的关系)”可知，本句承接上文举例说明肢体语言有哪些：面部表情，眼神交流，甚至是语调，故E选项“我们的面部表情，眼神交流，甚至是语调都是最响亮的声音”符合语境，故选E。
39．A【解析】根据上文“There are times in life when silence offers sympathy and understanding to others. Some- times we simply don’t have the right words to communicate to someone who is struggling with a hurtful or painful situation. But we can still show them that we care and we are there for them.(在生活中，有时沉默会给别人带来同情和理解。有时，我们只是没有正确的语言来与那些正在与伤害或痛苦的情况作斗争的人交流。但我们仍然可以告诉他们，我们关心他们，我们在他们身边)”可知，上文提到沉默会给别人带来同情和理解，本句为本段最后一句应说明沉默可以提供安慰。故A选项“我们可以通过平静的沉默来提供安慰”符合语境，故选A。
40．F【解析】根据后文“They may be radio broadcasts, news channels, stores and the constant chatter of people around us. So when we do get the chance to talk, we usually feel like we have to fill every thought into a short period of time. However, when we are silent we give others a chance to speak. We show them that they matter.(它们可能是无线电广播、新闻频道、商店和我们周围人的喋喋不休。所以当我们有机会交谈时，我们通常会觉得我们必须在短时间内把所有的想法都填满。然而，当我们沉默时，我们给了别人说话的机会。我们让他们知道他们很重要)”可知，后文提到了无线电广播、新闻频道、商店和我们周围人的喋喋不休，即各种信息的来源。故F选项“我们生活在一个与如此多的信息来源作斗争的社会”符合语境，故选F。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一款功能强大的聊天机器人——ChatGPT。
56．developed【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：由OpenAI研发的聊天机器人......句中已有谓语动词，所以用非谓语动词。用过去分词形式作做定语，修饰chatbot，并与chatbot是被动关系。故填developed。
57．is designed【解析】考查动词语态。句意：它被设计成以一种自然、直观的方式做出反应，并具有许多潜在的用途。陈述可知事实，用一般现在时。主语It为单数，与design之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态。故填is designed。
58．scientific【解析】考查形容词。句意：从科学的角度来看，在对这些技术的功效和有益性质得出结论之前，有必要密切关注这些技术的发展。形容词scientific做定语修饰point。故填scientific。
59．that/which【解析】考查定语从句。句意：因此，我们不应该恐慌地认为ChatGPT将取代迄今为止需要人类来完成的工作。此处是限定性定语从句，句中先行词为jobs，关系词在定语从句中作主语，所以用关系代词that或which引导。故填that或which。
60．has made【解析】考查动词时态。句意：首先，ChatGTP在自然语言处理方面已经取得了相当大的进展，但要完全理解人类的思维和语言能力还有很长的路要走，因为当涉及到专业写作时，ChatGTP有时会写出听起来似是而非的错误或荒谬的答案。结合句意可知，用现在完成时。主语ChatGTP为单数，谓语动词用has。故填has made。
61．completely【解析】考查副词。句意：，ChatGTP在自然语言处理方面已经取得了相当大的进展，但要完全理解人类的思维和语言能力还有很长的路要走...副词completely修饰动词understand。故填completely。
62. incorrect【解析】考查形容词。句意：首先，ChatGTP在自然语言处理方面已经取得了相当大的进展，但要完全理解人类的思维和语言能力还有很长的路要走，因为当涉及到专业写作时，ChatGTP有时会写出听起来似是而非的错误或荒谬的答案。根据并列连词or后形容词nonsensical可知，用形容词形式，修饰名词answers。结合句意可知，表示“不正确的”。故填incorrect。
63．but/yet【解析】考查连词。句意：它可能会对大多数一般性问题给出一些很好的答案，但它不能取代专业建议，例如医学预后和处方，或法律建议。前后句之间为转折关系，所以用转折连词but或yet。故填but或yet。
64．with【解析】考查介词。句意：其次，ChatGPT仍然是一个应用非常有限的产品。名词application前用介词。表示“具有，带有”，用介词with。故填with。
65．promising【解析】考查形容词。句意：然而，作为一项有前途的人工智能发展，ChatGPT很可能在中期（如果不是短期）取得进展。此处修饰名词AI development，应用形容词形式，作定语。故填promising。

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 sound of breaking glass was immediately recognizable. Hearing the sound, I turned around and froze. “Oh, no, not the vase,” Lisa said. “Why? What did I do?” My face turned red. “Abby, that glass vase is our family heirloom (传家宝),” Lisa replied nervously. “If you broke anything else in the apartment, I would gladly say ‘I did it’. But this time you have to tell my mom that it is your fault.” I was afraid and regretful. Why did I have to jump around like that?
We gathered up the pieces. I kept saying maybe it could be fixed but Lisa said gently it didn’t look possible and that her mom would be home soon. Would her mom shout at me or punish me? I couldn’t stop playing those seconds over in my mind. The only thing I could think of to say was “I’m sorry”.
Soon, we heard the key tun in the lock. Her mom was home. We could see she was in a good mood, “Hello! It’s hot today. I want to treat you two to ice cream. Let’s go!” her mom said. “Before that, I need to tell you something.” I said. “We can talk later.” “No, I need to tell you now. It’s important,” I insisted. I could feel my voice shaking. “What is it, dear?” Her mom walked closer to me. I could feel she studied my face thoughtfully. My heart beat faster.
“I’m sorry. I broke your vase by accident. I’ve leaned it is your family heirloom. We have save the pieces, and if it can be fixed, I will pay to fix it. I’m so sorry.” Her mom looked at me expressionless and saying nothing. This scared me even more. Then she let out laughter and hugged me, kissing me on both cheeks. “Oh, thank you! I always hated that ugly vase, but I had to keep it because it was passed down in my family. Now it’s gone! You’ve done me a huge favor!” she said and kissed me again.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

I was so relieved to have apologized, but I was also in shock.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When I reached my adult years, I understood Lisa’s mom’s behavior and kindness.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 I was so relieved to have apologized, but I was also in shock.
Because it was not what I had expected. I had thought that I would be shouted at or even punished, but Lisa’s mom let out laughter and hugged me, kissing me on both cheeks, and even thanked me for breaking the “ugly” vase. I felt more than confused but also relieved. I didn’t have the feeling of guilt and could still go to her home to play with Lisa as usual. I didn’t feel worried about my pocket money or blamed by my mom any longer.
When I reached my adult years, I understood Lisa’s mom’s behavior and kindness. I realized how generous Lisa’s mom was and what she did made a great difference to me and my life. Now, when I receive an apology, I always consider the people’s feelings and make sure my response is fully heard and truly appreciated. I mustn’t leave any bad impression on his or her mood and life.
【语篇解读】本文以人物为中心展开，主要讲述了作者在朋友丽莎（Lisa）家里玩的时候，打碎了她家的传家宝花瓶。作者很愧疚，鼓起勇气跟Lisa的妈妈道歉，但是这位妈妈却风轻云淡的说没有关系。
1.段落续写

2.续写线索：震惊——困惑——放松——思考——感悟
