M: They are long, but they feel so real when you read them. I remember reading them when I was in middle school. They’re the reason why I started reading more books actually.

M: You did make progress this time, especially in reading and writing parts.
W: But I’m still dissatisfied with my spoken English. It’s my biggest problem.
M: Cheer up, Tina. Let me help you find the right way to learn English. When you’re studying a language, the keyword is patience. It’s of the greatest importance, because nobody can master a language all at once.
W: Oh, yeah. But what am I supposed to do? Find some foreign friends or go abroad to learn it?
M: Not exactly. You can just make full use of every morning to practice English.
W: Should I get up earlier every day?
M: You don’t have to do so. Actually, there are indeed many chances in the morning that you can grasp to learn English. For example, you can listen to English news while you are dressing and washing. At the same time, you can imitate and speak English loudly. You need to take every opportunity to learn.
W: Practice makes perfect, right?
M: You said it.

W: That’s good to hear. But parents should set an example to their kids, right?
M: Yeah. I can’t agree with you more.

第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Throughout the past year, we followed some interesting new inventions in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Here is a look back at some notable AI developments in 2022.
Meta’s speech-to-speech translation
Facebook’s parent Meta said it had built a technology tool to directly translate between English and the Hokkien language, a spoken language without a widely used written form.
Meta said it trained its AI models on written text examples from Mandarin Chinese. In addition, developers used an encoding (编码) tool designed to compare spoken Hokkien lo similar English text.
Method to identify Parkinson’s disease
Researchers announced a new AI method to identify Parkinson’s disease. The system works by measuring a person’s breathing patterns during sleep. With just one night of sleep, the Al system was able to correctly identify Parkinson’s up to 86 percent of the time. With 12 nights of data, the rate went up to 95 percent.
Tool to interpret pig emotions
Researchers announced they had created a technology tool that uses pig sounds to interpret different emotions.
The tool is based on thousands of recordings collected from more than 400 pigs throughout their lives. The scientists developed an AI-driven algorithm (算法) to identify a series of emotions pigs could be experiencing. It is expected to lead to further systems farmers can use to improve the productivity and well-being of their animals.
Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings
Researchers - led by Alphabet’s AI company DeepMind - said they developed an AI system to help fill in missing words in ancient writings. The tool, called Ithaca, is designed to help historians repair the writings and identify when and where they were written.
The team said that when historians work on their own, the success rat: for repairing damaged writings is about 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72 percent.
21. Which can be used for cross-cultural communication?
A. Tool to interpret pig emotions.
B. Meta’s speech-to-speech translation.
C. Method to identify Parkinson’s disease.
D. Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings.
22. Who will most probably be interested in Ithaca?
A. A farmer. B. A doctor. C. A zoologist. D. A historian.
23. What do the inventions have in common?
A. They are AI-driven technology tools.
B. They are developed by Facebook.
C. They aim to promote productivity.
D. They focus on health issues.

The Lost City, Atlantis is a magnificent and ancient city lying beneath the waves of the sea. Does this sound like a fairy tale to you? Many people have tried and failed to find it. Michael Hubner from Germany thought he had. Let us learn more about this fascinating city.
The Greek philosopher Plato, who lived in the 4th century BC, mentioned Atlantis in detail in his writings. He said that Atlantis was a city built on an island around 9,000 years before his time. Atlantis became a powerful nation that planned to conquer all other countries. However, it disappeared suddenly beneath the sea into the Atlantic Ocean because of earthquakes and floods. Plato gave 51 clues to its location. He described the city having an island at the center and being surrounded by rings of water and land. He also said how far the city was from Athens in Greece.
Many explorers had tried and failed to find Atlantis under the sea. They had been looking under the sea because of what Plato wrote about it. A German computer expert called Michael Hubner came up with the theory that Atlantis was not at the bottom of the ocean. He thought that Atlantis had been destroyed by a tsunami wave. The strong force of the wave would have caused the end of the once great city.
Michael Hubner looked at all of Plato’s clues again. He used a computer program to enter all the information that Plato wrote about. The computer program would check on a map of the world for a place that matched all the clues. In this way Michael Hubner was able to find the place that Atlantis might have been. The computer program pointed to a place on the Moroccan coast in Africa, which was called the Souss-massa plain. Michael Hubner immediately boarded a plane to look for himself. When he got there, he was surprised to see many things that matched Plato’s description. There was a small mound in the centre of the plain and circular dry riverbeds. It was also very close to the distance that Plato had described.
We know that a tsunami can occur if there is an earthquake. The area of the Souss-Massa plain has had many earthquakes over years. Michael Hubner’s theory that a massive tsunami had flattened the city is not impossible. This would explain why it disappeared so suddenly.
Even though Michael Hubner believed that he had found the site of Atlantis, many experts disagreed. Some scholars have suggested that Plato might have been writing about Crete and the neighbouring island of Santorini, which was badly destroyed by a volcanic eruption in 1600 BC. Others feel he made up the story and based it on old legends. Michael Hubner believed Plato. He used his time and energy to prove to himself that Atlantis existed and stood proudly along the Moroccan coast.
24. Which one fits Plato’s description of Atlantis?
A. Atlantis was struck by earthquakes and floods.
B. Atlantis was far away from the city Athens in Greece.
C. Atlantis was a city built on an island about 9,000 years BC.
D. Atlantis disappeared because it was conquered by more powerful countries.
25. Why did Michael Hubner go to the Souss-massa plain?
A. To explore a tsunami wave.
B. To prove he is an computer expert.
C. To explore the possible site of Atlantis.
D. To prove Atlantis was destroyed by floods.
26. What is the author’s attitude towards Michael Hubner’s theory?
A. Doubtful. B. Opposed. C. Critical. D. Objective.
27. What can be learned from the text?
A. The lost city proved to be merely a legend.
B. Michael Hubner was completely against Plato’s idea.
C. Lots of experts still questioned Michael Hubner’s theory.
D. Atlantis was severely affected by a volcanic eruption in 1600 BC.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍迈克尔·哈布纳用自己的理论证明他找到了亚特兰蒂斯帝国,但一些专家对此表示怀疑。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“However, it disappeared suddenly beneath the sea into the Atlantic Ocean because of earthquakes and floods.(然而,由于地震和洪水,它突然消失在海底,沉入大西洋)”可知,根据Plato的描述亚特兰蒂斯曾经被地震和洪水袭击。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“The computer program would check on a map of the world for a place that matched all the clues. In this way Michael Hubner was able to find the place that Atlantis might have been. The computer program pointed to a place on the Moroccan coast in Africa, which was called the Souss-massa plain. Michael Hubner immediately boarded a plane to look for himself.(计算机程序将在世界地图上查找与所有线索相匹配的地方。就这样,迈克尔·哈布纳找到了亚特兰蒂斯可能存在的地方。计算机程序指向了非洲摩洛哥海岸的一个地方,那里被称为苏斯-马萨平原。Michael Hubner立即登上飞机自己去寻找)”可知,迈克尔·哈布纳去苏斯-马萨平原是为了探索亚特兰蒂斯可能的所在的。故选C。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“We know that a tsunami can occur if there is an earthquake. The area of the Souss-Massa plain has had many earthquakes over years. Michael Hubner’s theory that a massive tsunami had flattened the city is not impossible. This would explain why it disappeared so suddenly.(我们知道地震会引发海啸。苏斯-马萨平原地区多年来发生过多次地震。Michael Hubner认为大规模海啸夷平了这座城市的理论并非不可能。这就解释了为什么它消失得如此突然)”和最后一段“Even though Michael Hunber believed that he had found the site of Atlantis, many experts disagreed. Some scholars have suggested that Plato might have been writing about Crete and the neighbouring island of Santorini, which was badly destroyed by a volcanic eruption in 1600 BC. Others feel he made up the story and based it on old legends.(尽管迈克尔·哈布纳相信他已经找到了亚特兰蒂斯的遗址,但许多专家并不同意。一些学者认为柏拉图可能写的是克里特岛和邻近的圣托里尼岛,圣托里尼岛在公元前1600年的一次火山爆发中被严重摧毁。其他人则认为这个故事是他根据古老的传说编造出来的)”可知,作者认为大规模海啸将亚特兰蒂斯夷为平地这种理论是有可能的,并且陈述了一些专家对他的理论的质疑。由此推知,作者对迈克尔·哈布纳的理论持客观态度。故选D。
【27题详解】

Directions, luggage delivery, tasty food. Those are some of the things we’ve seen robots offering at the media center of Beijing Winter Olympics. And most of the robots we’ve seen here aren’t made to look human. Instead, they present a wide range of looks.
Two of the most advanced robots regularly operate in crowded space. One greets visitors, answers questions and offers to guide people through the crowds. Another one cleans the carpeted hallways of the main press center. It speaks to passersby in a woman’s voice. It seems to be speaking English. But we can make it out well, because it also plays joyful music while its two front brushes are clearing dust and dirt like a street-sweeper.
Don’t assume these robots work all hours just because they’re robots. They have carefully managed schedules. For example, the snack robots just go around the media center for about 15 minutes every hour—usually only between noon and 17:00.
Another kind of robots helps out with logistics(物流) at the media center. These robots can carry up to 300 kilograms of goods, move freely along the relatively empty halls and automatically(自动地) recharge themselves. They send unique codes through text messages to the receivers when the delivery has arrived. Then they can pick up the goods with the codes.
There are even COVID-fighting robots, which move around pre-programmed areas spreading chemicals. Food ordering, making and serving in the dining room are fully automatic too. Reporters from around the world can enjoy various food options here.
In short, robots play an outstanding role in the Beijing Winter Olympics. But the most important goal is to reduce direct contact(接触) between people.
28. What can the robots do according to paragraph 2?
A. Sing and dance at the entrance. B. Guide people in crowded areas.
C. Cook and serve in the dining room. D. Deliver goods and recharge automatically.
29. What can we know about the snack robots?
A. They look like street-sweepers. B. They show up every 15 minutes.
C. They cook food on site for the guests. D. They have pre-programmed schedules.
30. What is the main purpose of using robots at the media center?
A. To reduce direct human contact. B. To promote made-in-China robots.
C. To meet the challenge of labor shortage. D. To test the skill of AI technologies.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Wonderful Day at 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics
B. Helpful Robots at Beijing Winter Olympics Media Center
C. Robots’ Important Roles at 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics
D. A Unique Robot Show at Beijing Winter Olympics Media Center
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了北京冬奥会媒体中心机器人的功能。
【28题详解】

29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“They have carefully managed schedules.”(他们精心安排日程。)可知,他们有精心设计的日程安排表。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But the most important goal is to reduce direct contact(接触) between people.”(但最重要的目标是减少人与人之间的直接接触。)可知,在媒体中心使用机器人的主要目的是减少人与人之间的直接接触。故选A。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的“Directions, luggage delivery, tasty food. Those are some of the things we've seen robots offering at the media center of Beijing Winter Olympics.”(方向,行李,美味的食物。这些就是我们在北京冬奥会媒体中心,看到的机器人提供的东西。)可知,文章主要介绍了北京冬奥会媒体中心机器人的功能。故选B。

When a friend comes to you after a stressful day, how do you comfort him? Do you let him complain? Do you pour him a glass of coffee? Those could work. But a new study finds that a very effective technique is also simple and easy—hugging.
"Individuals who reported noticing the availability of a network of supportive individuals tend to show better adaptation when faced with stress. But just because you have a support network does not mean that you absolutely feel that support," said Michael Murphy, a psychology expert at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. He wanted to know if people who received hugs regularly could handle anxiety and stress better.
So Murphy and his team interviewed 404 men and women every evening for two weeks, During these interviews, the participants were asked a simple yes or no question -whether somebody had hugged them that day-and a simple yes or no question of whether they had experienced conflict with somebody that day. They also were asked to respond to questions about negative and positive mood states.
And the researchers found that people who experienced a conflict were not as negatively affected if they received a hug that day as participants who experienced conflict and didn't get a hug. And they were also found not to carry the negative effect to the next day, while those who did not receive one would. The findings are in the journal PLOS ONE.
Murphy does include this warning: "So our findings should not be taken as proof that people should just start hugging anyone and everyone who seems upset.A hug from one boss at work or a stranger on the street could be viewed as neither agreeable nor positive." The idea is to relieve stress.Not add to it.
32. What does paragraph 1 serve as?
A. A lead-in. B. A background.
C. An argument. D. A summary.
33. Why did the researchers interview those people?
A. To find out causes of their conflicts.
B. To test the influence of hugging.
C. To ask for advice on relieving stress.
D. To seek ways to comfort troubled people.
34. What does the underlined word " they" in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. 404 interviewees. B. Murphy and his team.
C. Participants getting a hug. D. People receiving no hugs.
35. What do Murphy's words warn in the end?
A. The interview results prove their findings.
B. A boss should comfort workers by hugging.
C. People should hug others regularly and actively.
D. There are some limitations of their findings.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了新的研究发现,安慰别人的一个非常有效也是简单易行的方法---拥抱。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。第一段指出“Those could work. But a new study finds that a very effective technique is also simple and easy—hugging”(那些可以起作用。但一项新的研究发现,一个非常有效的技巧也是简单易行的拥抱),接下来文章讲述了对这一发现进行的研究调查,由此可知,第一段用来导入主题。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段的“But just because you have a support network does not mean that you absolutely feel that support," said Michael Murphy, a psychology expert at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. He wanted to know if people who received hugs regularly could handle anxiety and stress better”(但是,仅仅因为你有一个支持网络,并不意味着你绝对能感受到这种支持,”匹兹堡卡内基梅隆大学的心理学专家迈克尔·墨菲说。他想知道经常接受拥抱的人是否能更好地应对焦虑和压力)可知研究人员要采访这些人,是为了测试拥抱的影响。故选B。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段的“were also found not to carry the negative effect to the next day, while those who did not receive one would”(也被发现不会把负面影响带到第二天,而那些没有得到拥抱的人会)可知,划线词they指代的是“得到拥抱的参与者”,故选C。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“So our findings should not be taken as proof that people should just start hugging anyone and everyone who seems upset.A hug from one boss at work or a stranger on the street could be viewed as neither agreeable nor positive”(因此,我们的研究结果不应被视为人们应该开始拥抱任何看起来沮丧的人的证据。工作时的老板或街上的陌生人的拥抱可能被认为既不友好也不积极)可知墨菲的话警告了他们的发现有一些局限性。故选D。

How to “Speed-read” Body Language
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, social distancing has dramatically changed the way we interact with each other, especially when it comes to non-verbal communication.
Wearing a face mask has quickly become the norm — and that will likely remain for the foreseeable future. ____36____ How can we better read body language, now that we’re wearing masks? Part of the answer lies in the question itself. Too often, we put all our focus into people’s faces, when we should also be observing the movements of their entire upper bodies. This is especially important today, since we do a lot of social interacting through video platforms, where we see each other mostly from the waist up. ____37____ Here are some tips on how to speed-read it.
Touching the neck
If someone is touching their “neck dimple” (the visible indentation at the middle-front of their neck), it could mean they’re distressed or insecure. ____38____
Rubbing the chest
____39____ If someone is rubbing the upper part of their chest with a palm of a hand (or even just the fingers), it can indicate discomfort or concern. I recently found myself doing this when discussing a family-member’s health.
Tilted head

Squinted eyes

B. If you notice someone doing this, try to comfort them or ease their anxiety.
C. Wearing a mask is a normal part of being around other people.
D. They shouldn’t show facial expressions or use body language in public.
E. Body language is an outward reflection of a person’s emotional condition.

【答案】36. G 37. E 38. B 39. A 40. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在冠状病毒大流行期间,社交距离极大地改变了我们在非语言交流方面的方式,对此介绍了快速阅读肢体语言的建议。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Wearing a face mask has quickly become the norm — and that will likely remain for the foreseeable future.(戴口罩已经迅速成为常态,并且在可预见的未来,这种情况可能会继续存在。)”说明脸被隐藏一半。根据下文“How can we better read body language, now that we’re wearing masks?(既然我们戴着口罩,如何能更好地阅读肢体语言呢?)”可知,说明在脸被隐藏的情况下,仍旧要辨别人们所想。G项“但是,由于隐藏了近一半的脸,因此很难分辨出一个人的想法和感受”与此描述一致。故选G项。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Too often, we put all our focus into people’s faces, when we should also be observing the movements of their entire upper bodies.(很多时候,我们把所有注意力都放在人们的脸上,而我们也应该观察他们整个上半身的运动。)”可知,在观察不到脸的同时,应注意观察人们的肢体语言,通过肢体语言来反映人们的心理。E项“肢体语言是一个人情绪状况的外在反映”符合题意。故选E项。
【38题详解】
根据上文“If someone is touching their “neck dimple” (the visible indentation at the middle-front of their neck), it could mean they’re distressed or insecure.(如果有人触摸他们的“脖子酒窝”(脖子中前部的可见凹痕,这可能意味着他们感到痛苦或不安全))”说明下文应对此提出相应的建议。B项中的“this”指代触摸“脖子酒窝”,而“尝试安慰他们或缓解他们的焦虑”是对此提出的建议,符合题意。故选B项。
【39题详解】
根据下文“If someone is rubbing the upper part of their chest with a palm of a hand (or even just the fingers), it can indicate discomfort or concern.(如果有人用手掌(甚至只是手指)揉搓胸部上部,则可能表明不适或担忧。)”可知,本段落承接上段内容,介绍的是压力和焦虑的另一个迹象以及相应的建议。故选A项。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Head movements can go a long way toward showing whether or not someone is fully engaged, especially during video conference calls. A slightly tilted head displays awareness and attentiveness.(头部运动可以大大有助于显示某人是否完全参与,特别是在视频电话会议期间。稍有倾斜的头部显示意识和注意力)”可知,通过观察头部的变化,也可以阅读人们的心理。F项“再加上点几下点头,它可以表示对所说或听到的内容的赞同”符合题意。故选F项。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了鲸鱼长期以来面临灭绝的主要原因,以及国际组织对这一问题的重视。
【61题详解】
考查固定搭配。due to是固定搭配,意为“因为、由于”。故填to。
【62题详解】
考查主谓一致。本文讲事实,时态以一般现在时为主,some living creatures是主语,所以谓语该用are。故填are。
【63题详解】
考查过去分词。included在表示“包括……在内”时,通常放在被修饰的名词之后,即sb./sth. included,做名词的后置定语,所以用过去分词included。故填included。
【64题详解】
考查语态。分析句子可知,此处缺乏谓语动词,主语some people’s desire for money与meet是被动关系(be done),所以该用被动语态。故填be met。
【65题详解】
考查固定搭配。on the other hand是固定搭配,意为“另一方面”。故填the。
【66题详解】
考查副词。great要修饰动词reduced,副词修饰动词,所以用副词形式。故填greatly。
【67题详解】
考查现在分词。该句已有谓语动词are,此空前又没有连词,可知此处该填现在分词(doing),动词seem和主语some countries是主动关系,所以用现在分词做伴随状语。故填seeming。
【68题详解】
考查同位语从句引导词。that引导同位语从句,that在从句不作成分,无实意。故填that。
【69题详解】
考查名词。此句中缺主语,且主语前有some所修饰,应使用可数名词复数形式。故填organizations/organisations。
【70题详解】
考查动词不定式。分析句子可知,此处表目的,要用动词不定式(to do)作目的状语。故填to protect。

Times waits for no man. This is something I learned very clear last term. I spent so much time fool around that my grades began to fall. I finally realize that something necessary had to done. It was time of a change.
Now I have a new plan for using my time wisely. I have set my alarm clock ahead half a hour. This will give him a head start on the day. I have also been decided to keep a record of what I do and when I do it. Looking back on which I’ve done will give me some idea on how to rearrange my time.
【答案】1. clear→clearly
2. fool→fooling
3. realize→realized
4. done前加be
5. of→for
6 a→an
7. him→me
8. 删除been
9. which→what
10. idea→ideas
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲了作者意识到了时间不等人这个问题,所以重新定制计划,合理的安排时间。
【详解】1. 考查副词。句意:这是我上学期学得很清楚的东西。修饰动词learned用副词。故将clear改成clearly。
2. 考查固定用法。句意:我花了太多时间游手好闲,以致我的成绩开始下降。spend time (in) doing sth.花费时间做某事,是固定用法,故将fool改成fooling。
3. 考查时态。句意:我终于意识到必须做些必要的事。表示发生在过去的事情,用一般过去时,故将realize改成realized。
4. 考查语态。句意见上一题。“一些事”和“做”之间是被动关系,用被动语态,故将done之前加be。
5. 考查固定用法。句意:是时候做出改变了。It is / was time for是时候……了,故将of改成for。
6. 考查冠词。句意:我把闹钟调快了半小时。这里表示“半小时”,hour的首字母是元音,故将用不定冠词an。
7. 考查代词。句意:这会让我在这一天有一个好的开始。这将给我一个有利的开端。表示“我”,故将him改成me。
8. 考查语态。句意:我还决定把我做的事和做的时间记录下来。“我”和“决定”之间是主动关系,故将删除been。
9. 考查宾语从句。句意:回顾我所做的事情会给我一些重新安排时间的想法。what I’ve done作on的宾语,故将what I’ve done是一个宾语从句,引导词在从句中作done的宾语,表示“我做的事情”,故将用what,which改成what。
10. 考查名词单复数。句意见上一题。被some修饰,故将用名词复数,idea改成ideas。
