When I first set foot on Mexican soil, I spoke Spanish well. So when I asked a local ice-cream seller for an ice-cream, and he said “ahorita,” which directly translates to “right now,” I took him at his word, believing that its arrival was immediate.
I sat near his shop and waited. Half an hour passed and still no ice-cream arrived, so I asked again about it. “Ahorita,” he told me again. His face was a mix of confusion and maybe even embarrassment.
I was torn. Waiting longer wasn’t pleasant, but I felt it was impolite to walk away, especially if the ice-cream was now being delivered just for me. But finally, after waiting too long, I made a rush for the nearest bus to take me home. As I left, I signalled at my wrist and shrugged to the ice-cream seller. Obviously, I couldn’t wait any longer and it really wasn’t my fault. His face was, once again, one of total confusion.
This experience faded from my memory until years later when I came back to live in Mexico. I discovered that understanding “ahorita” took not a fluency in the language, but rather a fluency in the culture. When someone from Mexico says “ahorita,” it should almost never be taken literally (照字面地); its meaning changes greatly with context. As a linguist told me, “Ahorita could mean tomorrow, in an hour, within five years or never.” It is even used as a polite way of saying “no, thanks” when refusing an offer.
Since I moved to Mexico, my attitude towards time has changed dramatically. I don’t worry so much about being late; I am generally still on time for appointments, but when I’m not, I don’t panic. Ironically, it would seem that “Ahorita Time” has actually allowed me to live far more in the “right now” than I ever did before.
4. Why did the author believe that his ice-cream’s arrival was immediate?
A. Because the seller told him that it would be served soon.
B. Because he was confident of the direct translation of “ahorita”.
C. Because the ice-cream shop was not crowded.
D. Because he asked about it again and the seller answered the same.
5. What docs the underlined word “torn” mean in the third paragraph?
A. tired. B. too hungry to move. C. unable to decide. D. thirsty.
6. What should be paid attention to when understanding “ahorita”?
A. A fluency in the culture. B. A fluency in the language.
C. Translating it literally. D. Its unchangeable meaning.
7. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. The importance of understanding foreign cultures
B. The different meanings of “ahorita”
C. How interesting Spanish is
D. The confusing way Mexicans tell time
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲的是作者在墨西哥说西班牙语与当地人不同理解造成的误会。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“When I first set foot on Mexican soil, I spoke Spanish well. So when I asked a local ice-cream seller for an ice-cream, and he said “ahorita,” which directly translates to “right now,” I took him at his word, believing that its arrival was immediate.(当我第一次踏上墨西哥的土地时，我的西班牙语说得很好。所以，当我向当地的冰淇淋小贩要冰淇淋时，他说“ahorita”，翻译过来就是“马上”的意思，我就相信了他的话，相信冰淇淋马上就到了。)”可知，因为作者的西班牙语讲得很好，而“ahorita”翻译过来就是“马上”的意思，所以作者相信他的冰激凌马上就到了。故选B项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“Waiting longer wasn’t pleasant, but I felt it was impolite to walk away, especially if the ice-cream was now being delivered just for me.(再等下去一点也不愉快，但我觉得走开是不礼貌的，尤其是现在冰淇淋是专门为我送去的。)”可知因为等的时间太长了，所以作者不愿再等下去，但又觉得走开不礼貌，所以可以推测作者很纠结，不知道是否要离开。由此推知torn意为“无法做决定”。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“I discovered that understanding “ahorita” took not a fluency in the language, but rather a fluency in the culture. (我发现理解“ahorita”并不需要语言的流利，而是需要文化的流利。)”可知，理解“ahorita”的意思需要注意的是文化的流利性。故选A项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Since I moved to Mexico, my attitude towards time has changed dramatically. I don’t worry so much about being late; I am generally still on time for appointments, but when I’m not, I don’t panic. Ironically, it would seem that “Ahorita Time” has actually allowed me to live far more in the “right now” than I ever did before.(自从我搬到墨西哥，我对时间的态度发生了巨大的变化。我不太担心迟到。我通常都能准时赴约，但当我不能准时赴约时，我也不会惊慌。具有讽刺意味的是，“Ahorita Time”实际上让我比以往任何时候都更能活在“当下”。)”以及文章其他段落的内容可知，文章主要讲的是作者在墨西哥说西班牙语与当地人因对于表示时间的单词“ahorita”的不同理解造成的误会，所以文章主要围绕着墨西哥人表达时间的令人困惑的方式展开，因此D项The confusing way Mexicans tell time( 墨西哥人令人困惑的表达时间的方式)作为文章标题最合适。故选D项。
C
Scientists near San Francisco work to identify a type of endangered fish using a tool that was originally made for treating cancer.
Currently, CRISPR is used to change the genetic material in specific cells. By changing the structure of immune cells, it helps recognize and fight cancer. The same technology is now used in a special machine called Sherlock, which, of course, is named after the famous investigator Sherlock Holmes. They do not, however, use Sherlock to change fish cells. Instead, the ocean researchers catch the fish, collect a small amount of mucus (黏液) and then test the cells to find the genetic makeup of the fish.
The researchers have found that the technology is extremely helpful when looking at different species of Chinook salmon, because they look nearly the same. It can be done in about 30 minutes. In the past, the researchers would have to wait weeks or months to get test results.
In the past, the scientists would catch the Chinook salmon and measure them to tell them apart. “It’s not very accurate,” said Andrea Schreier, an associate professor at the University of California in Davis, who is working on the salmon. Schreier said when they catch the fish, the Sherlock machine can quickly tell them if they have one of the special salmon. It’s important because it allows the scientists to do things that will help the endangered salmon live longer. For example, they can catch them in lakes far away from the coast and take them by truck to the San Francisco Bay. In the past, the fish might have tried to make it to the Bay by swimming in rivers. However, due to climate change, the river water is sometimes too warm for the fish to make the trip safely.
Schreier said she feels good about the project because she likes being able to assist with conservation. “I really want to work to maintain our ecosystems and our native populations as much as possible, given all of the pressures that we humans place on them through our different activities.’’
8. Which of the following best describe the technology?
A. Impractical. B. Inaccurate. C. Efficient. D. Economical.
9. What do the new technology and the traditional way have in common?
A. They test the fish mucus to tell them apart.
B. They are carried out by researchers in the lab.
C. They originally aimed at detecting cancer.
D. They help researchers tell different salmons apart.
10. What can be inferred about the Chinook salmons?
A. They will soon die out. B. They are of the same size.
C. They are used to cool water. D. They are now well protected.
11. What do we know about Andrea Schreier from the text?
A. She thinks humans are greatly pressured.
B. She is rather devoted to the conservation.
C. She is unsatisfied with her work.
D. She thinks her work needs improvement.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种能够快速识别出奇努克鲑鱼的技术手段并希望通过利用这项技术能够更好的保护该物种。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“The researchers have found that the technology is extremely helpful when looking at different species of Chinook salmon, because they look nearly the same.”（研究人员发现，这项技术在观察不同种类的奇努克鲑鱼时非常有用，因为它们看起来几乎一样。）及第四段第三句“Schreier said when they catch the fish, the Sherlock machine can quickly tell them if they have one of the special salmon.”（Schreier说，当他们抓到鱼时，夏洛克机器可以迅速告诉他们是否有一条特殊的鲑鱼。）可知，这项技术在识别不同种类的奇努克鲑鱼时非常有效。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“In the past, the scientists would catch the Chinook salmon and measure them to tell them apart.”（在过去，科学家们会捕捉奇努克鲑鱼并通过测量来区分它们。）及第四段第三句“Schreier said when they catch the fish, the Sherlock machine can quickly tell them if they have one of the special salmon.”（Schreier说，当他们抓到鱼时，夏洛克机器可以迅速告诉他们是否有一条特殊的鲑鱼。）可知，传统方法和新技术都能帮助研究人员区分不同的鲑鱼。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“However, due to climate change, the river water is sometimes too warm for the fish to make the trip safely.”（然而，由于气候变化，河水有时太热，鱼无法安全游到河中。）可知，奇努克鲑鱼无法适应温度高的河水，故推知它们适合在冷水中生存。故选C项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“I really want to work to maintain our ecosystems and our native populations as much as possible, given all of the pressures that we humans place on them through our different activities.”（鉴于我们人类通过我们的各种活动给地球生物的生存施加了太多压力，我真的想尽可能地维护我们的生态系统和保护我们的地球生物。）可知，Andrea Schreier致力于地球生物的保护。故选B项。
D
Buildings, pollution, poor soil, insects, and even car crashes can add to tree loss. However, between 2016 and 2021, the city of Seattle in Washington state was reported to have lost about 255 hectares of tree covering, for which climate change was blamed. Then came the driest summer on Seattle’s record books in 2022. The drier conditions and hotter temperatures have left many trees with brown leaves, naked branches, and extreme seeding. These are all signs of tree stress.
According to Nicholas Johnson, a tree expert for Seattle City Parks, if this warming climate continues we are going to have a lot of trees die. Just like people, under the heat trees get weak.
Researchers from France and Australia studied the effect of hotter temperatures and less rain on more than 3,100 trees and plants in 164 cities across 78 countries. They found about half the trees in the cities were experiencing climate conditions beyond their limits. They also found that by 2050 nearly all trees planted in Australian cities will not survive.
It’s not the gradual change but these extreme swings of too much water, too little water, too much wind, and terrible storms that are going to cause these rapid changes. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina destroyed about 10 percent of the trees in New Orleans, Louisiana. And in 2021, Hurricane Ida uprooted many new tree plantings.
To settle the problem of tree loss, non-native trees have been brought to cities for some time. In the city of Bellevue, Washington, experts are growing different kinds of trees specifically for climate change. On city grounds, they are planting baby giant sequoias, just a few centimeters tall. The giant sequoias are not native to the Pacific Northwest area. But the trees can deal with the lack of rain and insects. Once these trees are established, they grow incredibly fast. Having many different kinds and ages of trees is important to keeping urban forests alive.
“Life always finds a way,” said Nicholas Johnson. “And in Seattle, people are helping life find a way.”
12. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The bad condition of trees in Seattle.
B. The terrible climate in Seattle in recent years.
C. Natural reasons for tree loss.
D. The signs of tree stress.
13. What is endangering the trees in Australia cities?
A. Buildings. B. Pollution.
C. Extreme climate. D. Car crashes.
14. How do tree experts solve the problem of tree death?
A. By improving planting methods.
B. By changing the kinds of trees.
C. By treating trees as babies.
D. By improving the soil quality.
15. Which is Nicholas Johnson’s attitude to the future of trees in cities?
A. Indifferent. B. Negative. C. Skeptical. D. Positive.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了气候变化将威胁城市树木的健康和生存。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段第二句“However, between 2016 and 2021, the city of Seattle in Washington state was reported to have lost about 255 hectares of tree covering, for which climate change was blamed.”（然而，据报道，在2016年至2021年期间，华盛顿州西雅图市失去了大约255公顷的树木覆盖面积，这被归咎于气候变化。）及第四句“The drier conditions and hotter temperatures have left many trees with brown leaves, naked branches, and extreme seeding.”（干燥的环境和炎热的气温使许多树木的叶子变成褐色，树枝裸露，种子极其稀少。）可知，本段主要介绍了受气候影响，西雅图的树木状况不佳。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“They also found that by 2050 nearly all trees planted in Australian cities will not survive.”（他们还发现，到2050年，几乎所有在澳大利亚城市种植的树木都将无法存活。）及第四段第一句“It’s not the gradual change but these extreme swings of too much water, too little water, too much wind, and terrible storms that are going to cause these rapid changes.”（这不是渐进的变化，而是这些极端的波动，太多的水，太少的水，太多的风，以及可怕的风暴将导致这些快速的变化。）可知，极端的气候变化威胁着澳大利亚的城市树木。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段第二句“In the city of Bellevue, Washington, experts are growing different kinds of trees specifically for climate change.”（在华盛顿的贝尔维尤市，专家们正在种植不同种类的树木，专门用于应对气候变化。）可知，专家试图种植不同种类的树木来解决树木损失的问题。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句““Life always finds a way,” said Nicholas Johnson.”（Nicholas Johnson说：“生命总能找到出路”。）可知，他认为城市的树木能够找到出路，不会损失殆尽，故他对城市树木的未来持积极的态度。故选D项。

About a month ago I noticed something really amazing, which I must call a garden ____21____. I opened the double doors of a small storage area in the back of my house where I ____22____ my garden supplies during the long New England winter, and there, on top of a tower of dirt-filled pots, was a flash of green, topped with two of the most unlikely frilly pink flowers you’ve ever seen.
A quick examination revealed that, in fact, this was a living, growing plant, with no explanation to ____23____ its existence. How was this ____24____? The unheated space had been closed all winter, and it was still cold outside. Once I caught my breath, I ____25____ and discovered something approaching a reasonable explanation —there was a small glass window at the top of the double doors, and it was possible that a ray of sun fell directly on that pot, giving the plant just enough light and warmth to ____26____ it to grow in its own personal greenhouse.
I can’t help feeling ____27____ at the lessons this wonderful plant has to teach. For one thing, I am moved by the coincidence of the whole thing. If I had put my pot six inches to the left or right of that spot, the plant might not have gotten that ____28____ ray of light. If I had pulled ____29____ the roots of the plant in late fall, there would have been ____30____ but dirt that pot.
But there’s something else that ____31____ me about this — just how little light and ____32____ it took for this plant to grow and flower. I’m not ____33____ we should be stingy (吝啬的) with love and kindness and all the other warming things we do ____34____ others and ourselves. But isn’t it comforting to consider that just a drop of ____35____ can brighten a day, a place, a life?

40. drafting
41. invented
42. in 43. are
44. powerful
45. extremely
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人工智能聊天机器人ChatGPT强大的功能及其缺陷。
【36题详解】
考查现在完成时。句意：最近几个月，微软开始将ChatGPT背后的GPT语言模型集成到Bing、Edge和Microsoft Office等产品中。分析句子结构可知，空处缺谓语动词，时间状语是“in recent months”，用现在完成时，主语是“Microsoft”，故填has begun。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意：最近几个月，微软开始将ChatGPT背后的GPT语言模型集成到Bing、Edge和Microsoft Office等产品中。根据“such as Bing, Edge and Microsoft Office”可知，不止一种产品，故用名词复数作宾语。故填products。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：事实上，ChatGPT聊天机器人非常受欢迎，谷歌已经推出了自己的聊天机器人竞争对手Google Bard。根据“hit”可知，空处需填冠词，a hit表示“轰动一时的事物，火爆的事物”符合句意。故填a。
【39题详解】
考查状语从句。句意：虽然它不能完全取代人类，但企业和个人可以用它来完成很多任务——从进行市场调查到草拟各种文件。分析句意可知，“it can’t fully replace humans”是让步状语从句，表示“虽然它不能完全取代人类”，故用连词although/though/while引导。故填Although/Though/While。
【40题详解】
考查动名词。句意：虽然它不能完全取代人类，但企业和个人可以用它来完成很多任务——从进行市场调查到草拟各种文件。根据介词“to”可知，空处需填动名词作宾语，故填drafting。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：你甚至可以玩由ChatGPT发明的游戏《Sumplete》，这是一款类似于九宫格的逻辑谜题。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语动词“can play”，故空处需填非谓语动词，“a game”和“invent”之间是被动关系，故用过去分词作后置定语。故填invented。
42题详解】
考查介词。句意：ChatGPT在功能方面仍然有局限性，并且可能会出错。In terms of表示“在……方面”，符合句意。故填in。
【43题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：你可能需要非常精确地限制它所做的工作，因为ChatGPT编写的一些答案可能完全不正确。分析句子结构可知，because引导的原因状语从句中缺谓语动词，描述客观事实用一般现在时，主语是“some answers”，故谓语动词用复数。故填are。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意：如果没有限制，这种强大的技术可能会给你带来比它本身更多的问题。根据“technology”可知，空处需填形容词作定语，修饰名词，power作名词，表示“权力，力量”，形容词powerful表示“强大的”符合句意。故填powerful。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意：除此之外，ChatGPT也可能像其他任何网站或应用程序一样遭受非常严重的错误。根据“severe”可知，空处需填副词作状语，修饰形容词，故填extremely。


第三节(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分)

【答案】ending with a surprising twist
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词和名词。根据汉语翻译可知，空处需填“惊人逆转带来的”的英语表达，可以用分词作后置定语表示，“惊人逆转的比赛”即“以惊人的逆转结束的比赛”，“以……结束”用短语end with表示，“game”和“end with”之间是主动关系，故用现在分词作后置定语，“惊人的逆转”表示为a surprising twist，其中surprising表示“令人惊讶的”，修饰名词twist。故填ending with a surprising twist。
47. This is a programme run by The Gorilla Organization to raise money to ________________________.
这是一个由大猩猩保护组织举办的活动，目的是募集资金保护世界上仅存的大猩猩免于灭绝。
【答案】save the world’s last remaining gorillas from dying out
【解析】
【详解】考查动词原形。句意：这是一个由大猩猩保护组织举办的活动，目的是募集资金保护世界上仅存的大猩猩免于灭绝。动词短语save ... from... (救……可免于……)，from后接动名词形式；形容词remaining (剩下的)，名词复数gorillas (大猩猩)，动词短语die out (死绝；团灭)。不定式to后接动词原形。根据句意，故填save the world’s last remaining gorillas from dying out。
48. ___________ the 18th century, Peking Opera has over two hundred years of history.
京剧的起源可以追溯到18世纪，距今已有两百多年历史。
【答案】Dating back to
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语及非谓语动词。根据句意及所给句子可知，此处使用动词短语date back to“追溯到”，与主语Peking Opera是逻辑主谓关系，应用现在分词，表主动。故填Dating back to。

2013年，我决定实现自己的梦想：成为澳大利亚第一位职业摄影博主。
【答案】make my dream come true
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语和名词。根据汉语翻译可知，空处需填“实现自己的梦想”的英语表达，即“使自己的梦想实现”用make sb do的结构表示,用省掉to的动词不定式作宾补，根据“was determined to”可知，空处需填动词原形，“自己的梦想”即“我的梦想”表示为my dream，“实现”用动词短语come true表示。故填make my dream come true。
51. ________ ________ ________ ________ I realized her seat was empty!
直到那时我才意识到她的座位是空的！
【答案】 ①. It ②. was ③. then ④. that
【解析】
【详解】考查强调句型。结合句意可知，此处用强调句型“It is/was+被强调部分+that/who+其他”，“那时”使用副词then，是被强调部分，所以强调句型中用that，根据句中realized可知，句子用一般过去时，故填①It②was③then④that。
52. Jaws was a great success, ________________________.
电影大获成功，吸引了大量观众并赢得了众多奖项。
【答案】attracting huge audiences and winning many awards
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：电影大获成功，吸引了大量观众并赢得了众多奖项。句中已有谓语动词，所以用非谓语动词。逻辑主语Jaws与attract和win之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词作伴随状语。根据句意，故填attracting huge audiences and winning many awards。
53. Finning would ________________________Peter Benchley, the man who wrote the book the film Jaws was based on.
鱼鳍采割活动对《大白鲨》电影原著作者——彼得.本奇利产生了出乎意料的影响。
【答案】have an unexpected effect upon

54. ________________________, I can’t concentrate on anything.
我既尴尬又羞愧，做什么事都无法集中精力
【答案】Embarrassed and ashamed
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词作状语。根据汉语翻译可知，空处需填“既尴尬又羞愧”的英语表达，“既尴尬又羞愧”用来形容主语“I”的状态，可以用形容词作状语表示，“尴尬的”表示为embarrassed，“羞愧的”表示为“ashamed”，用and并列。故填Embarrassed and ashamed。
55. Filled with anger, you tend to say________________________.
满腔怒火的时候，你往往想到什么就说什么。
【答案】whatever comes to your mind
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和宾语从句。 whatever“无论什么”，引导宾语从句，并且在从句中作主语。 come to one’s mind浮现在某人脑海里，被想起。陈述客观事实，用一般现在时。whatever作主语，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。根据句意，故填whatever comes to your mind。

Adler lived with his unemployed mother and a younger brother in a small house in Durango. Like other boys at his age, the golden-haired boy wanted to play with his friends and have fun, but fate had other plans. After observing what was happening in his house, the boy decided to do something for his family. He picked up his only toy, a ball, and left his house with a mission—to help his family.
Little Adler walked to the nearest store with his last toy in hand, hoping he could sell it. While the little boy was selling his toy at the street, a man with the TikTok name Ruben Cervantes spotted him. Curious, he approached Adler to see what happened to him.
With tears in his eyes the little one said, “I just want to sell my only toy, sir. Would you like it?” When Cervantes learned Adler was selling his toy to help his family, he asked, “How much is it?” Adler replied, “I don’t want money, sir I just want milk and bread for my family.”
At that moment, Cervantes was so moved While other children at his age were enjoying and living a carefree life, Adler was worrying about his home’s financial situation. Without hesitation, Cervantes took the ball from the boy, gave him a hug and said, “Don’t cry, my boy. I’ll keep your ball for now, hoping to play it with you one day.” Cervantes did buy milk and bread in exchange for his ball and sent him back home. The boy flashed a toothy smile and said, “Thank you so much, sir. I’m looking forward.”
Immediately Cervantes got home, he posted Adler’s story on TikTok. All the viewers were touched by his devotion to his family and expressed their willingness to help the poor family. For a month, piles of food and clothes were flooding into Cervantes’ home. Apparently, it’s time for him to pay a visit.
