【解析】

【详解】When you take a walk a in any of the cities in the west,you often see a lot of people walking with dogs.It is still true that the dog is the most useful and faithful animal in the world.But the reason why people keep a dog have changed,In the old days,people used to train dogs to protect themselves against the attacks by other besasts.And later they came to realize that the dog was not only useful for protection but willing to obey their master.For example,when people used dogs for hunting,the dogs would not eat without permission what they caught.But now people in the city need not protect.themselves against attacks of animals.Why do they keep dogs then?Some people keep dogs to protect themselves from robbery,but the most important reason is for companionship.For a child,a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with;for a young couple,a dog is their child when they have no children;for old couples,a dog is also their child when their real children have grown up.So the main reason why people keep dogs has changed from protection to friendship.

B

When my daughter was seven years old, she came home from soccer practice clearly downhearted. When asked, she told me what a teammate said: her teeth were too yellow. My heart broke for her. As parents, we try to keep our children safe, but we can’t always be there to protect our kids from unkind words. I tried to comfort my daughter. I told her that she has a beautiful smile with nice, strong, healthy teeth. I explained why she shouldn’t let someone else’s criticisms define her. On the inside, though, I worried. From my youth, I’ve struggled with the concept that my self-worth was directly related to my physical appearance.

When I became a mom, I was terrified that this concept would take root in my daughter. I wanted to protect her little ears from unkind words that might influence her idea of self-worth. I wanted to shield her little eyes from unrealistic beauty standards promoted by magazines, television, and movies. I wanted to guard her little heart from being broken by the idea that she didn’t live up to the standards in some way.

On social media, the battle became exceptionally greater. Every day we are bombarded (轰炸) with people living their “best life”, all told through filters (过滤器) which only highlight the “best” parts: best angles, best locations, best outfits, and best hair. Rarely do we get a glimpse of reality. On social media, outer beauty controls everything.

How, then, can we teach our kids that they are much more than their appearance? We can start by modeling kindness, empathy, and self-acceptance in our own lives. Kids are incredible mimics (模仿者), so be mindful of what you say, even when you think your kids aren’t listening. If we are constantly putting ourselves down, our kids will follow suit. Instead, adopt a positive attitude when it comes to your own self-worth. Additionally, try to teach your children to see the inner beauty in themselves and in others. There’s beauty in strength, goodness, gentleness, perseverance, and kindness. Praise kids for their acts of kindness, like sharing with a friend or helping a family member without being asked, and talk to them about how it makes them feel.

24. How did the author react to her daughter’s trouble?

A Thrilled. B. Apologetic. C. Sorrowful. D. Curious.

25. What does the underlined word shield probably mean in paragraph 2?

A. Cure. B. Fix. C. Broaden. D. Protect.

26. What can be inferred from paragraph 3?

A. Everything in social media is not true.

B. Social media reflects an unrealistic world.

C. People like to share their privacy in social media.

D. People attach more importance to their physical appearance.

27. What should parents do to their kids?

A. Tell them to behave themselves.

B. Praise their kids for their appearance.

C. Set a positive example for their kids.

D. Encourage their kids to ignore the outer beauty.

【答案】24. C    25. D    26. A    27. C

【解析】

【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章通过女儿被队友的话语伤害这件事儿引发了对于孩子自我价值教育的思考。

【24题详解】

细节理解题。根据文章第一段“When asked, she told me what a teammate said: her teeth were too yellow. My heart broke for her.(当我问她时，她告诉我，一个队友说她牙齿黄。我为她感到心碎。)”可知，作者在听到女儿的苦恼后，作者心碎了，故作者是伤心的，故选C。

【25题详解】

词义猜测题。根据划线词shield前文内容“I wanted to protect her little ears from unkind words that might influence her idea of self-worth.(我想要保护她的耳朵，不去听到那些可能会影响她的自我价值的那些不友好的话语。)”可推知，此处划线词所在的句子与前文构成排比，故此处的划线词shield与前文内容中的protect意思相近，意为“保护她的眼镜不看到那些杂志、电视和电影呈现的不真实的美”，故选D。

【26题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章第三段“On social media, the battle became exceptionally greater. Every day we are bombarded (轰炸) with people living their “best life”, all told through filters (过滤器) which only highlight the “best” parts: best angles, best locations, best outfits, and best hair. Rarely do we get a glimpse of reality.(在社交媒体上，这场战斗变得异常激烈。每天我们都那些被人们过着‘最好的生活’所轰炸，所有都是过滤后只突出‘最好’的那部分：最佳角度、最佳位置、最佳服装和最佳发型。我们很少能看到现实。)”可推知，媒体上呈现的都是过滤后的“最好”的东西，我们很少能看到现实的东西，故媒体上的东西并非都是现实的，故选A。

【27题详解】

细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Kids are incredible mimics (模仿者), so be mindful of what you say, even when you think your kids aren’t listening. If we are constantly putting ourselves down, our kids will follow suit. Instead, adopt a positive attitude when it comes to your own self-worth. Additionally, try to teach your children to see the inner beauty in themselves and in others.(孩子是令人难以置信的模仿者，因此要注意你的言语，即使当你在孩子没有在听的时候。如果我们不断地贬低自己，我们的孩子也会效仿。相反，当谈到自我价值时，要采取积极的态度。而且，努力教会你的孩子看到自己和他人的内在美。)”可知，孩子是一个模仿者，因此当谈到自我价值时，我们要积极面对，孩子才能效仿我们，也同样积极面对，因此我们应给孩子树立一个正确的榜样，故选C。

C

French company Airseas, has promised to help cargo (货物) ships reduce their fuel consumption, and cut their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by an average of 20%. And they’re doing this with the Seawing—a 1,000 square meter kite that will fly 300 meters (984 feet) above the water’s surface. So the globul shipping industry is apparently rediscovering the joy and efficiency of sails.

The large, ship-sized kite is currently being developed, and the company plans to open a factory to produce the Seawing in 2026. Once manufactured, Airseas has promised that launching and operating a Seawing on a cargo vessel will be automated, making it easy to use for crews. The kite and the equipment that launches it are mounted on a boat’s deck, and the crew can simply press some buttons and a large kite will rise into the sky. That’s not to say that the cargo ships won’t use their engines at all, but the kite will take some pressure off of those engines and will reduce the need for fuel. The wind will move the ship, just like it did for hundreds of years in the old days before industrialization.

Lowering emissions by 20% may not seem like a big deal, but moving vast amounts of goods back and forth on the high seas creates 3% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. That’s more than the airline industry, which produced about 2% of the world’s emissions in 2021, according to the International Energy Agency. Shipping is also a massive industry, and one worth focusing on for lowering emissions. About 90% of the world’s traded goods are moved around via shipping vessels (大船), according to the International Chamber of Shipping.

Some companies are expecting this new version of sails. Japanese shipping company, “K” Line has placed orders for the Seawing kite, and the European Union has also invested more than $2 million in funding.

28. What is French company Airseas trying to do?

A. Participate in kite-flying competitions. B. Make sea exploration easy and joyful.

C. Produce big kites to be used for sailing D. Ship cargoes with low fuel consumption.

29. What’s the feature of the Seawing?

A. It will completely replace engines. B. It will be a light-weight device.

C. It will be easily operated by crews. D. It will follow the cargo vessel at sea.

30. Why is the airline industry mentioned in paragraph 3?

A. To confirm a prediction. B. To make a comparison.

C. To lead in a new topic. D. To analyze cause and effect.

31. What is the best title of the text?

A. The shipping industry is getting popular again.

B. The GHG emissions are being greatly reduced.

C. Seawing factories are to be opened in Europe,

D. Kites on boat are helping cut shipping emissions.

【答案】28. C    29. C    30. B    31. D

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是法国Airseas公司正在研发一种大型风筝以帮助轮船减少油耗，降低温室气体排放。

【28题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段“French company Airseas, has promised to help cargo (货物) ships reduce their fuel consumption, and cut their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by an average of 20%. And they’re doing this with the Seawing—a 1,000 square meter kite that will fly 300 meters (984 feet) above the water’s surface.(法国公司Airseas承诺帮助货船减少燃料消耗，并将其温室气体排放量平均减少20%。他们正在用一个1000平方米的风筝来做这件事，它将在水面以上300米（984英尺）的地方飞行。)”及第二段首句“The large, ship-sized kite is currently being developed, and the company plans to open a factory to produce the Seawing in 2026.(目前正在开发船舶大小的大型风筝，该公司计划在2026年开设生产Seawing的工厂。)”可知，法国航空公司想制作用于航海的大风筝，故选C。

【29题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段“Once manufactured, Airseas has promised that launching and operating a Seawing on a cargo vessel will be automated, making it easy to use for crews. The kite and the equipment that launches it are mounted on a boat’s deck, and the crew can simply press some buttons and a large kite will rise into the sky.(一旦制造出来，Airseas承诺在货船上发射和操作Seawing将是自动化的，使其易于船员使用。风筝和发射它的设备安装在船的甲板上，船员只需按几个按钮，一个大风筝就会升上天空。)”可知，在货船上发射和操作 Seawing将是自动化，风等设备就在船的甲板上，船员按几个按钮风筝就能升空。简言之, Seawing 的特点就是容易操作。故选C。

【30题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段“Lowering emissions by 20% may not seem like a big deal, but moving vast amounts of goods back and forth on the high seas creates 3% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. That’s more than the airline industry, which produced about 2% of the world’s emissions in 2021(减少20%的排放量似乎不是什么大事，但在公海上来回运输大量货物产生的温室气体排放量占世界温室气体排放量的3%。这比航空业还要多，航空业在2021年的排放量约占全球的2%)”可知，将排放量减少20%似乎不是什么大不了的事，但在公海上来回运输大量货物造成了世界3%的温室气体排放，这比航空业还多，航空业在2021年的排放量约占世界的2%。由此推断，该段提到航空业是为了进行对比说明。故选B。

【31题详解】

主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“French company Airseas, has promised to help cargo (货物) ships reduce their fuel consumption, and cut their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by an average of 20%. And they’re doing this with the Seawing—a 1,000 square meter kite that will fly 300 meters (984 feet) above the water’s surface.(法国公司Airseas承诺帮助货船减少燃料消耗，并将其温室气体排放量平均减少20%。他们正在用一个1000平方米的风筝来做这件事，它将在水面以上300米（984英尺）的地方飞行。)”可知，文章主要介绍法国Airseas公司正在研发一种在水面上方300米处飞行的1000平方米的风筝，可以帮助轮船降低20%的温室气体排放，因此最好的题目是D选项“Kites on boat are helping cut shipping emissions.(船上的风筝有助于减少航运排放。)”。故选D。

D

Interspecies was once a technical term used in science to describe how one species got along with another. Now it is a word of more consequence: it arouses the new connections between humans and non-humans that are being made possible by technology. In Ways of Being, James Bridle, a British artist and technology writer, explores what this means for understanding the many non-human intelligences on Earth.

Mr Bridle makes clear that three kinds of minds are now interacting: human, non-human and machine. Using artificial intelligence (AI), machines will in future have the capability to interpose (使介入) themselves as translators between humans and other biological life forms.

It is true that profit is the main motive for advances in AI; as yet nature does not get much of a look in, and non-human intelligences go unexplored outside zoology departments. Computing is as focused on humans as ever, even as climate change and biodiversity-loss suggest it should devote much greater attention to other species.

The first step towards an interspecies future, Mr Bridle argues, is showing more appreciation for other forms of intelligence. To some extent, this is already happening. For example, through films and other initiatives many people now know that octopuses (章鱼) have an advanced and strange intelligence. The next step, Mr Bridle declares, is recognizing that people live in a “more than human” world. Other intelligences have developed from a common evolutionary base, and they overlap (重叠) in ways that science is just beginning to discover.

Ways of Being would have benefited from sharper editing. Yet, in making clear the patience, imagination and humility required to better know and protect other forms of intelligence on Earth, he has made an admirable contribution to the dawning interspecies age.

32. Which of the following best illustrates the term “interspecies”?

A. A wolf hunts a rabbit. B. A robot does housework.

C. A lady walks her dog. D. A boy records a video for squirrels.

33. What does AI lay emphasis on nowadays?

A. Biodiversity. B. Other species. C. Humans. D. Climate change.

34. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?

A. The characteristics of species evolution.

B. Expectations for the future development of AI.

C. Suggestions on future exploration of interspecies.

D. The importance of appreciation for other forms of intelligence.

35. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to Ways of Being?

A. Skeptical. B. Favorable. C. Tolerant. D. Conservative.

【答案】32. D    33. C    34. C    35. B

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能正在改变人们与其他生物之间的关系。

(种间关系曾经是一个科学术语，用来描述一个物种如何与另一个物种相处。现在，它是一个更重要的词：它唤起了人类和非人类之间的新联系，而这种联系正因技术而成为可能)”可知，“种间关系”这个术语是指人类和非人类之间的新联系。由此推断，“一个男孩给松鼠录了一段视频”最能说明这个术语所表述的含义。故选D。

【33题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段“Computing is as focused on humans as ever, even as climate change and biodiversity-loss suggest it should devote much greater attention to other species. (尽管气候变化和生物多样性丧失表明计算机应该更多地关注其他物种，但它仍然一如既往地关注人类)”可知，现在人工智能的重点是人类。故选C。

【34题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第四段“The first step towards an interspecies future, Mr Bridle argues, is showing more appreciation for other forms of intelligence. (布瑞德先生认为，迈向跨物种未来的第一步是对其他形式的智力表现出更多的欣赏)”可知，本段主要介绍对未来物种间探索的建议。故选C。

【35题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ways of Being would have benefited from sharper editing. Yet, in making clear the patience, imagination and humility required to better know and protect other forms of intelligence on Earth, he has made an admirable contribution to the dawning interspecies age. (《存在之道》本可以从更尖锐的剪辑中获益。然而，在阐明更好地了解和保护地球上其他形式的智能所需的耐心、想象力和谦逊方面，他为跨物种时代的到来做出了令人钦佩的贡献)”可推断，作者对《存在之道》的态度是赞同的。故选B。

第二节(共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

When heading to bed, people often do some things to promote sleep, such as drinking a cup of warm milk. ___36___ The answer is varied.

"One reason that warm milk makes people sleepy is that it reminds you of the person who was kind enough to give it to you when you were younger," said psychologist Michael. ___37___

On the molecular level, the tryptophan (色氨酸) in milk has properties which can promote sleeping. ___38___ Our bodies use the tryptophan from food, along with other things, to produce the brain chemical serotonin, which is transformed into melatonin, a hormone that helps you sleep.

 ___39___ That's because the body transforms it into hormones that enhance sleep. But in reality, it would take a lot of tryptophan to make a person feel sleepy. Even if a person drinks that much milk, it's unclear whether the high amount of tryptophan would be enough to make him or her feel sleepy. Milk, after all, contains many other materials that compete to enter our brain through the blood. Thus, the sleep-promoting effect of milk is limited.

As for the temperature of the milk, there aren't any studies that suggest milk has to be warm for any of its psychological or physical effects to kick in. ___40___ It can in turn help to relax the body.

A. The calming association may help to lower pre-sleep anxiety.

B. In theory, taking food rich in tryptophan can make us feel sleepy.

C. The body needs the tryptophan in the milk to calm ourselves down.

D. Can the temperature of the milk accelerate the speed of our sleeping?

E. The body cannot produce tryptophan, so people must get it from the diet.

F. But the warmth of the milk may help raise our internal body temperatures.

G. But is there any scientific evidence that drinking warm milk will make you sleepy?

【答案】36. G    37. A    38. E    39. B    40. F

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要对睡前喝热牛奶是否对睡眠有用进行了解释。文章指出，热牛奶之所以对你睡眠有助一方面是因为它让你想起曾经给你热牛奶的人，这有一定缓解焦虑的作用；另一方面是因为热牛奶里的色氨酸也有促进睡眠的作用，但是实际情况来看，可能其效果有限。除此以外，牛奶的温度从某种程度上也能让你放松，从而睡个好觉。

【36题详解】

根据后文“The answer is varied.(这个答案是多种多样的。)”以及““One reason that warm milk makes people sleepy is that it reminds you of the person who was kind enough to give it to you when you were younger," said psychologist Michael.(心理学家迈克尔说:“热牛奶让人昏昏欲睡的一个原因是，它会让你想起那个在你年轻时好心给你热牛奶的人。”)”和“On the molecular level, the tryptophan（色氨酸）in milk has properties which can promote sleeping.(在分子水平上，色氨酸具有促进睡眠的特性。)”可知，后文是对选项所提出的一个问题进行回答，该问题跟后文所提到的内容相关，故选项应为一个疑问句。选项G中的“scientific evidence”对应后文中的“On the molecular level”，而选项中的make you sleepy在后文又被提到，两者互相照应。故选G项。

【37题详解】

根据前文“'One reason that warm milk makes people sleepy is that it reminds you of the person who was kind enough to give it to you when you were younger,' said psychologist Michael.(心理学家迈克尔说:“热牛奶让人昏昏欲睡的一个原因是，它会让你想起那个在你年轻时好心给你热牛奶的人。”)”可知，热牛奶让人想起曾经给自己温暖的人，使人内心感动，这种联系能减缓睡前焦虑。选项A中的“The calming association”对应前文的提到的“想起那个在你年轻时好心给你热牛奶的人”，这会产生令人镇静的作用，因此推断A项“这种镇静的联系可能有助于降低睡前焦虑。”符合语境。故选A项。

【38题详解】

根据后文“Our bodies use the tryptophan from food, along with other things, to produce the brain chemical serotonin, which is transformed into melatonin, a hormone that helps you sleep.(我们的身体利用食物中的色氨酸和其他物质来产生大脑化学物质血清素。血清素被转化为褪黑激素，这种激素有助于睡眠。) ”可知，色氨酸是从食物以及其他物质中获取的，我们身体本身不具有色氨酸。故E选项中的“get it from the diet”对应“use the tryptophan from food, along with other things”。因此推断E项“人体不能产生色氨酸，所以人们必须从饮食中获取色氨酸。”符合语境。故选E项。

【39题详解】

根据后文“That's because the body transforms it into hormones that enhance sleep. But in reality, it would take a lot of tryptophan to make a person feel sleepy.(这是因为身体将其转化为增强睡眠的激素。但事实上，需要大量的色氨酸才能让人感到困倦。)”可知，本段从理论和实际两个方面去论述到底色氨酸是否具有助眠的作用。选项B中的“In theory”与后文的“But in reality”相对应。因此推断B项“从理论上讲，食用富含色氨酸的食物会让我们感到困倦。”符合语境。故选B项。

【40题详解】

根据前文“As for the temperature of the milk, there aren't any studies that suggest milk has to be warm for any of its psychological or physical effects to kick in.( 至于牛奶的温度，没有任何研究表明牛奶必须是热的才能发挥其心理或生理作用。)”以及后文“It can in turn help to relax the body.(这反过来有助于放松身体。)”可知，本段讲述的是牛奶的温度可能也是一个影响助眠效果的因素。选项F中的“the warmth of the milk”对应前文的“the temperature of the milk”以及选项中的“raise our internal body temperatures”对应后文的“it”，故选项F“但牛奶的温度可能有助于提高我们体内的温度。”符合语境，具有承上启下的作用。故选F项。

第二节 (满分25分)

67. 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。

It was the day of the big cross-country run. Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route(路线)through thick evergreen forest.

I looked around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for ten years old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run.

What was wrong? He had worked so hard for this event!

I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.”

I bit back my frustration(懊恼). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward.

David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer—that’s all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination.

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.

We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me. I said gently and quietly, “No one can change your mind, except yourself. If you desire to challenge yourself, there is nothing to do with others’ thoughts.” He sat still with a deep breath. “You have a full preparation before this event, which is the most important reason why you show up here”, I added with a sincere tone. Hearing my words, David turned to me tremblingly with tears spilling out of his eyes and expressed he had made a firm determination to finish the cross-country run. His coach heard what David said and gave me a look—the kind that was more determined than anyone else’s.
 

I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. The race started. It seemed that the runway was extremely long for young children, not to mention a child with a brain disease. David insisted on running as if he had forgotten all his weaknesses, though he was tripped over within the a few kilometers. It didn’t take long before he picked himself up again and continued his mission. Classmates all appeared on the racing track, cheering for him. “Come on! You can make it! We are proud of you!” they shouted enthusiastically. To everyone’s joy, he reached the final line and ranked the 20th. It was no more important whether he won the first place or not. It was his brave heart and strong faith that could make something unusual happen finally.

【解析】

【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者是一名特殊教育教师，在大型越野赛跑那天，发现患有大脑疾病的大卫独自站在一旁。作者问其原因，他说准备放弃比赛。从教练口中得知，因为担心同学们会嘲笑大卫，所以教练想让大卫自己去决定是否参加赛跑。作者让大卫追寻自己的内心，不理会别人的看法，大卫最终参赛，尽管遇到困难，他战胜了自己，这已经无关名次，而是他的勇敢和坚定让这一切成为可能。

【详解】1.段落续写：

①由第一段首句内容“我们挨着坐着，但大卫不愿看我一眼。”可知，第一段可描写作者鼓励大卫继续完成比赛，大卫经过强烈的心理斗争，最终决定参加比赛。

②由第二段首句内容“我看着大卫和其他选手一起走到起跑线上。”可知，第二段可描写大卫开始参赛，虽然中途遇到困难，仍然坚持到最后，完成比赛。

2.续写线索：鼓励大卫——心理变化——决定参赛——克服困难——加油助威——完成比赛——感悟
