阅读下列短文 ，从每题所给的A、B C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
The temperatures are rising throughout the country, indicating that summer is just around the corner. If you’re a teen looking for a summer job, here are some opportunities.
Tutor
Tutoring jobs could be the perfect summer job to turn your knowledge into cash. Although teaching children is easier said than done, it’s manageable for most one-on-one instructors. The more experience you have in one area, the more you can charge.
Average Pay: $22 per hour
Movie Theater Employee
Many theaters will hire teens to make sure they are adequately staffed for summer blockbuster releases. Typically, a movie theater attendant scans tickets and sells snacks. The most difficult part of the job is likely cleaning up after a showing. But it could all be worth it when you get to watch free movies after work.
Average Pay: $15 per hour
Summer Intern
A summer internship can help you open the door to future career opportunities. Pay can vary substantially based on your field and level of education. Some internships are even unpaid. That said, the greatest compensation can be gaining experience in the industry you hope to work in after college. Plus, being a summer intern provides many networking opportunities.
Average Pay: $15 per hour AGU
Camp Counselor
Summertime means that numerous camps open up for young children. Although this can be a demanding option, it can also be very rewarding. You’ll have the chance to impact every child that passes through your camp group. Many camps even offer accommodations and food to counselors hired to work during a summer program.
Average Pay: $10 per hour
1. What is the advantage to be a tutor compared to the other three jobs?
A. Getting a higher pay.
B. Seeing movies for free.
C. Gaining job experience.
D. Having free accommodations.
2. Which job can help teens with their future career?
A. Tutor.
B. Camp Counselor.

B
Morgan Hartman was born with both physical and cognitive (认知的) disabilities. For years though, she lacked a diagnosis (诊断). One thing she did have: a happy spirit. Her dad, Cordon Hartman, never wanted to see that spirit dulled. But unfortunately, at times it was.
“In 2006 we were on a family vacation where I watched Morgan not be able to participate in a pool activity with three other children, and it was simply because of her lack of expression,” Gordon said. “It almost puts a lump (肿块) in your throat because it gives you a sad feeling that all Morgan wanted was to participate. She just wanted to play.”
After seeing this, Gordon started on a quest to create a space where no one felt left out. His idea: an inclusive theme park. He had experience as a builder and enlisted help from other experts to turn his dream into what is now Morgan’s Wonderland. The park, opened in 2010, is believed to be the only one like it in the world and it has expanded to a sports center and camp with an outdoor adventure park. Across all the recreation areas, all are fully accessible to everyone with physical and mental disabilities.
Gordon has seen firsthand how an accessible theme park can change lives through joy. “I met a couple from Mexico City. And they had never had a chance to, because of their special needs, ever a chance to play in water together. They heard about it and came here. They cried with me and talked to me about how this was the most wonderful opportunity they ever had,” he said.
Morgan’s Wonderland has welcomed visitors from dozens of countries and all 50 states of the USA — and those with disabilities enter for free. “It’s the small things that make the big difference: Having fun,” Gordon said. “Here at Morgan’s Wonderland and all the different Morgan’s venues, you don’t watch. You participate.”
4. Why couldn’t Morgan participate in the pool activity?
A. She was not diagnosed.
B She couldn’t express herself.
C. Her father hated seeing her dulled.
D. Other children wouldn’t play with her.
5. What is unique to Morgan’s Wonderland?
A. It provides outdoor activities.
B. It’s for people with special needs.
C. It’s a sports center with only one like it.
D. It’s the largest adventure park in the world.
6. The author mentioned the couple in paragraph 4 to show________.
A. Gordon’s generosity
B. the popularity of the park
C. the influence of the park
D. Gordon’s success in business
7. What can be inferred about the park?
A. It has expanded to 50 states.
B. It is free of charge for all visitors.
C. Full accessibility makes it appealing.
D. People aren’t allowed to watch activities in it.
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. C 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述戈登·哈特曼为有身体和认知障碍的女儿摩根·哈特曼建造了摩根仙境主题公园，每个有身体和精神残疾的人都可以进入游玩，这让摩根仙境吸引了无数的游客。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In 2006, we were on a family vacation where I watched Morgan not be able to participate in a pool activity with three other children, and it was simply because of her lack of expression (2006年，我们全家一起度假，我看到摩根不能和其他三个孩子一起参加泳池活动，仅仅因为她缺乏表达)”可知，摩根不能参加泳池活动是因为她无法表达自己。故选B项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“He had experience as a builder and enlisted help from other experts to turn his dream into what is now Morgan’s Wonderland. The park, opened in 2010, is believed to be the only one like it in the world and it has expanded to a sports center and camp with an outdoor adventure park. Across all the recreation areas, all are fully accessible to everyone with physical and mental disabilities.(他有建筑经验，并寻求其他专家的帮助，将他的梦想变成了现在的摩根仙境。该公园于2010年开放，被认为是世界上唯一一个这样的公园，它已经扩展到一个体育中心和户外探险公园的营地。在所有的娱乐区域，每个有身体和精神残疾的人都可以完全进入)”可知，摩根的仙境有什么独特之处在于它是为有特殊需要的人准备的。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“I met a couple from Mexico City. And they had never had a chance to, because of their special needs, ever a chance to play in water together. They heard about it and came here. They cried with me and talked to me about how this was the most wonderful opportunity they ever had,(我遇到一对来自墨西哥城的夫妇。由于他们的特殊需要，他们从来没有机会一起在水里玩耍。他们听说了摩根的仙境，就来了。他们和我一起喊叫，对我说这是他们有过的最好的机会)”可推知，作者提到这对残疾无妻是为了表明主题公园带来的影响。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Across all the recreation areas, all are fully accessible to everyone with physical and mental disabilities.(在所有的娱乐区域，每个有身体和精神残疾的人都可以完全进入)”和最后一段中“Morgan’s Wonderland has welcomed visitors from dozens of countries and all 50 states of the USA — and those with disabilities enter for free.(摩根仙境已经迎来了来自几十个国家和美国所有50个州的游客，而且残疾人免费入场)”可推知，正是它全面的参与性让摩根仙境具有吸引力。故选C项。
C
If you feel like you bonded with your pet during the pandemic(大流行病), you’re not alone.
Cat and dog owners in the United States gradually grew closer to their pets during the first two years of COVID-19. But these furry friends didn’t help with their owners’ overall stress or loneliness, despite owners citing their pets’ positive influences, researchers report April 26, 2023 in PLOS ONE. “The one very clear message is that the human-animal relationship is very complicated,” epidemiologist Hsin-Yi Weng of Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind.
When the pandemic outbreak began, Weng and his colleagues recognized it as an unfortunate but unique opportunity to find out the dynamics of pet ownership during a large-scale event. The team launched a survey asking about people’s stress, loneliness and relationships with their pets. Participants reflected on their emotions before the pandemic and during lockdown.
Analyzing responses from more than 4,200 individuals, the team found that cat and dog owners felt they steadily bonded with their pets between the pre-pandemic and recovery phases. Spending more time at home and being separated from other people might explain those strengthened relationships, the researchers say.
But pets effects on mental health were a little indistinct. Although the authors expected pets to buffer stress and loneliness, people with furry companions had similar loneliness levels and sometimes even higher stress levels compared with non-pet owners. The results did suggest though that having a pet buffered the loneliness related to romantic relationships, or lack thereof.
On average, people without pets reported the lowest amounts of stress while cat owners had the highest. Affording everyday care, especially during lockdown, may have contributed to pet owners stress, the team suggests.“There are two sides of having a pet,” Weng says. While they provide companionship, pets also add extra responsibilities.
8. What can we learn from the report in PLOS ONE?
A. People felt bonded with loneliness.
B. Owners lived closer with their pets.
C. Pets didn’t relieve people’s overall stress.
D. Pets had little positive influence on their owners.
9. For what purpose did the researchers carry out the survey?
A. To organize a large scale event.
B. To reflect on pet owners
C. To analyze responses from individuals.
D. To explore the changes of pet-owner relationship.
10. What does the underlined word “buffer” mean in paragraph 5?
A. Cause.
B. Ease.
C. Experience.
D. Suffer.
11. Who may have more stress?
A. People with cats as pets.
B. People in romantic relationships.
C. People without furry pets.
D. People spending more time at home.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了研究人员在2023年4月26日的《公共科学图书馆·综合》（PLOS ONE）上报道说，尽管主人称宠物对他们有积极的影响，但它们并没有帮助缓解主人的整体压力或孤独感。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“But these furry friends didn’t help with their owners’ overall stress or loneliness, despite owners citing their pets’ positive influences, researchers report April 26, 2023 in PLOS ONE.(研究人员在2023年4月26日的《公共科学图书馆·综合》（PLOS ONE）上报道说，尽管主人称宠物对他们有积极的影响，但这些毛茸茸的朋友并没有帮助他们缓解主人的整体压力或孤独感。)”可知，从PLOS ONE的报道可知，宠物不能缓解人们的整体压力。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The team launched a survey asking about people’s stress, loneliness and relationships with their pets. (研究小组发起了一项调查，询问人们的压力、孤独感以及与宠物的关系。)”可知，研究人员进行这项调查的目的是探讨宠物与主人关系的变化。故选D。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句子“Although the authors expected pets to buffer stress and loneliness, people with furry companions had similar loneliness levels and sometimes even higher stress levels compared with non-pet owners. (虽然研究人员期望宠物能buffer压力和孤独感，但是与没有宠物的人相比，有毛茸茸的宠物陪伴的人有相似的孤独感水平，有时甚至更高的压力水平。)”中的although可知，句子前后是转折关系，研究表明与没有宠物的人相比，有宠物陪伴的人有孤独感和压力，这并没不像研究者所期望的那样，即研究者期望宠物能缓解压力和孤独感，由此可知，划线单词buffer意为“缓解”，与B项”Ease(缓解)”意思一样，故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“On average, people without pets reported the lowest amounts of stress while cat owners had the highest. (平均而言，没有养宠物的人压力最小，而养猫的人压力最大。)”可知，养猫的人压力更大，故选A。


D
A new wave of startups are using deep learning to build synthetic (合成的) voice actors for digital assistants, video-game characters, and corporate videos. Each one is based on a real voice actor, whose likeness has been preserved using AI. Companies can now license these voices to say whatever they need. They simply feed some text into the voice engine, and out will generate an audio clip of a natural-sounding performance.
Not too long ago, such deepfake voices had something of a bad reputation for their use in internet trickery. But their improving quality has since aroused the interest of a growing number of companies. Recent breakthroughs in deep learning have made it possible to replicate (仿制) many of the subtleties (细微差别) of human speech. These voices pause and breathe in all the right places. They can change their style or emotion. AI voices are also cheap and easy to work with. Unlike a recording of a human voice actor, synthetic voices can update their script (剧本) in real time. Some Al firms can now handle the voices for adapting ads depending on who is listening, changing not just the accent of the voice but also the words being spoken.
But there are limitations to how far AI can go. It’s still difficult to maintain the realism of a voice over long stretches of time that might be required for an audio book. And there’s little ability to control an AI voice’ s performance in the same way a director can guide a human performer. Expressive, creative and long-form projects are still best done by humans.
According to Rupal Patel, a professor at Northeastern University, the point of AI voices is ultimately not to replace existing audio work. The promise of AI voices is that they could open up entirely new possibilities.
12. What plays a key role in the improvement of synthetic voices?
A. Licensing real voices.
B. Breakthroughs in deep learning.
C. Feeding texts into the voice engine.
D. Preserving the likeness of a real voice.
13. Which can best describe AI voices?
A. Cheap and limitless.
B. Creative and irreplaceable.
C. Portable and ready to update.
D. Adaptable and easy to operate.
14. In which of the following do AI voices perform best?
A. A TV talk show.
B. Audio navigation.
C. Harry Potter audio books.
D A live football match broadcast.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. AI Voices Sound More Human Than Ever
B. AI Voices Will Soon Replace Human Voices
C. There Is Still a Long Way to Go for AI Voices
D. Advances in AI Voices Will Prevent Internet Trickery
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人工智能语音技术取得的进步，但同时指出其不足。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Recent breakthroughs in deep learning have made it possible to replicate (仿制) many of the subtleties (细微差别) of human speech. These voices pause and breathe in all the right places. They can change their style or emotion. AI voices are also cheap and easy to work with. Unlike a recording of a human voice actor, synthetic voices can update their script (剧本) in real time.(最近在深度学习方面的突破使得复制人类语言的许多微妙之处成为可能。这些声音在恰当的地方暂停和呼吸。他们可以改变自己的风格或情绪。人工智能的声音也很便宜，而且很容易处理。与人类配音演员的录音不同，合成声音可以实时更新他们的脚本。)”可知，深度学习的突破在改善合成声音中起着关键作用。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“They can change their style or emotion. AI voices are also cheap and easy to work with. Unlike a recording of a human voice actor, synthetic voices can update their script (剧本) in real time. Some Al firms can now handle the voices for adapting ads depending on who is listening, changing not just the accent of the voice but also the words being spoken.(他们可以改变自己的风格或情绪。人工智能的声音也很便宜，而且很容易处理。与人类配音演员的录音不同，合成声音可以实时更新他们的脚本。一些人工智能公司现在可以根据听众的不同来处理这些声音，不仅可以改变声音的口音，还可以改变说话的内容。)”可推知，人工智能语音易修改(adaptable)，便于处理(easy to operate)。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“It’s still difficult to maintain the realism of a voice over long stretches of time that might be required for an audio book.(在很长一段时间内保持声音的真实性仍然是很困难的，这可能是有声书所需要的。)”和“Expressive, creative and long-form projects are still best done by humans.(富有表现力、创造性和长篇的项目最好还是由人类来完成。)”可推知，电视谈话节目、哈利波特有声书和足球比赛实况转播之类富有表现力、创造性和长篇的项目仍不适合人工智能语音，人工智能语音只在语音导航方面表现最好。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“Recent breakthroughs in deep learning have made it possible to replicate (仿制) many of the subtleties (细微差别) of human speech.(最近在深度学习方面的突破使得复制人类语言的许多微妙之处成为可能。)”、第三段中“But there are limitations to how far AI can go.(但人工智能能走多远还是有限制的。)”和最后一段中“According to Rupal Patel, a professor at Northeastern University, the point of AI voices is ultimately not to replace existing audio work. The promise of AI voices is that they could open up entirely new possibilities.(东北大学教授鲁帕尔•帕特尔表示，人工智能语音的意义最终不是取代现有的音频工作。人工智能语音的前景是，它们可以开辟全新的可能性。)”可知，文章介绍了人工智能语音技术取得的进步，但同时指出其不足，表明人工智能语音还不能代替人类的音频工作。由此推知，“There Is Still a Long Way to Go for AI Voices(人工智能语音还有很长的路要走)”是最佳标题。故选C项。

Ask students to go into detail and depth regarding any subject they plan to write about.____18____Have them then write a paragraph or an essay detailing how someone could try that hobby. They should include materials needed, setting up a hobby area and results to expect. Repeated exposure to detailed writing will greatly increase their ability to communicate in writing.
Write supporting details to back up statements. Being able to support what you say is considered an excellent writing technique.

G. More importantly, they should feel free to express their views via the written text.
【答案】16. E 17. B 18. D 19. C 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了帮助孩子提高写作技巧的一些方法。
【16题详解】
上文“The writing assessment has become an all-important feature of the test, both nationwide and worldwide.(无论是在全国范围内还是在世界范围内，写作测试都已经成为一项非常重要的测试内容。)”指出写作测试很重要，下文“Here are a few ideas that might be helpful.(这里有一些可能会有帮助的观点。)”指出有一些方法能有助于孩子写出好的文章，由此可知，空处承上启下，E项“那么，你如何帮助你的孩子提高他们的论文写作技巧呢？”符合，和下文构成一问一答，故选E。
【17题详解】
根据下文“One of the things graders look for in the writing section is the ability to apply knowledge to the real world.Practice with your child by having them write detailed descriptions of something that applies to the real world.(评分员在写作部分寻找的东西之一是将知识应用于现实世界的能力。和孩子一起练习，让他们写一些适用于现实世界的详细描述。并举例支持他们的观点。)”可知，将知识应用于现实世界的能力是考查学生的能力之一，所以家长要和孩子一起练习，让他们写一些适用于现实世界的详细描述，B项“建立文本到世界的联系。”能概括本段内容，故选B。
【18题详解】
上文“Ask students to go into detail and depth regarding any subject they plan to write about.(要求学生就他们计划写的任何主题进行详细和深入的讨论。)”指出要求学生就他们计划写的任何主题进行详细和深入的讨论。下文“Have them then write a paragraph or an essay detailing how someone could try that hobby.(然后让他们写一个段落或一篇文章，详细说明某人可以如何尝试这个爱好。)”介绍了就爱好这一话题学生该如何描写，由此可知，空处应该提出“爱好”这一话题，D项“通过给他们一个主题来练习，比如一个最喜欢的爱好。”符合，和上下文是顺承关系，即要求学生就他们计划写的任何主题进行详细和深入的讨论，然后给他们一个话题，接着让他们写一个段落或一篇文章，故选D。
【19题详解】
上文“Test scorers want to see that students can make statements that they can back up. The evidence for the statement should be based on real-world facts and ideas as well as their own personal perspective.(测试判卷者希望看到学生能够做出他们能够支持陈述。陈述的证据应该基于现实世界的事实和想法，以及他们自己的个人观点。)”指出学生要有基于现实世界的事实和想法，以及他们自己的个人观点的陈述，即这说明写作时要有事实，同时要表达自己的观点，而非只写事实，C项“好的作家不只写事实。”符合，下文“They write them via both their own experience and opinion.(他们通过自己的经验和观点来写作。)”继续描述好的作家该如何做，They呼应选项中的“Good writers”，故选C。
【20题详解】
上文“Research shows that students need to work on their ability to communicate in writing using logical sentences and excellent grammatical structure.(研究表明，学生需要提高用逻辑句子和优秀的语法结构进行书面交流的能力。)”指出学生需要具备的能力，下文“And then they can show the test scorers that they know what they are talking about.(然后他们就可以向判卷者展示他们知道自己在说什么。)”指出具备某种能力的所带来的好处，由此可知，空处应该也是描述学生需要具体的能力，G项“更重要的是，他们应该可以自由地通过书面文本表达自己的观点。”符合，其中“express their views”呼应下文“what they are talking about”，故选G。

【解析】
【导语】本文是新闻报道。报道了2023年的潍坊国际风筝节。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：风筝一开始在中国被用于军事目的，用来发信号和测量距离，为大型军队在困难地形上的移动提供信息。分析句子结构可知，本句缺少谓语动词，所以use作本句谓语，和主语kites之间是被动关系，应该用被动语态，根据句意，描述的是过去发生的事，用一般过去时。故填were used。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：风筝一开始在中国被用于军事目的，用来发信号和测量距离，为大型军队在困难地形上的移动提供信息。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词，所以aid用非谓语形式，根据句意，此处表目的，应该用不定式形式。故填to aid。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意：随着时间的推移，风筝与休闲活动联系在一起。分析句子结构可知，此处考查固定搭配：become associated with意为“与…联系在一起”。故填with。

考查非谓语动词。句意：2023年展出的创新风筝给世界各地的风筝爱好者带来了许多惊喜，拉近了中国和其他国家人民的距离。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词brought，所以present用非谓语形式，它的逻辑主语是kites，两者是被动关系，用过去分词表被动。故填presented。
【44题详解】

第二节(满分 25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
47. I began life as a leaming-disabled child. I had a distortion (扭曲) of vision called dyslexia. Dyslexic children often learn words quickly, but don’t see them the way other people do. I viewed my world as a wonderful place filled with these shapes called words and developed a rather extensive sight vocabulary that made my parents quite optimistic about my ability to learn.
To my horror, I discovered in the first grade that letters were more important than words. Dyslexic children make them upside down and backwards, and don’t even arrange them in the same order as everybody else. So my first-grade teacher called me learning disabled.
She wrote down her observations and passed them on to my second-grade teacher over the summer so she could develop an appropriate bias (偏见) against me before I arrived. I entered the second grade able to see the answers to math problems but having no idea about the mathematical problem-solving process, and discovered it was more important than the answer. Now I was totally frightened by the learning process, so I developed a stutter ( LIZ) and the strategy of moving to the back of each class, staying out of sight and, when called, muttering, “I d-d-don’t kn-kn-know.” That sealed my fate.
My third-grade teacher knew that I couldn’t speak, write, read or do mathematics, so she had no real optimism toward dealing with me. I discovered pretending to be ill as a basic tool to get through school. This allowed me to spend more time with the school nurse than the teacher. That was my strategy in the third and fourth grades.
Just as I was about to die intellectually (智力上), I entered the fifth grade and got the opportunity to spend two fully years under the supervision of Miss Hardy, known as the most awesome teacher ever to walk the Rocky Mountains. This incredible woman, whose six-foot build towered above me, put her arms around me saying, “He’s not learning-disabled, he’s just unusual.”
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。
Her comment made me feel she was definitely different from other teachers.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It’s years since I graduated and now I myself am a teacher in a primary school.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Her comment made me feel she was definitely different from other teachers. She was the first person to recognize my potential and to give me the opportunity to learn. She taught me how to read, write, and do math. She also taught me how to think and how to use my imagination. She was the one who gave me the confidence to believe in myself and to believe that I could do anything I set my mind to.
It’s years since I graduated and now I myself am a teacher in a primary school. I have taken Miss Hardy’s lessons to heart and strive to make sure that all of my students feel valued and respected. I want them to know that they can achieve anything they set their minds to, just like I did. I want them to know that no matter what their learning disability is, they can still be successful.
