“It’s incredible. I never thought my dream would come true so soon,” Chinese ballet dancer Chun Wai Chan recalled the scene when he got the news in May that he was promoted to the principal dancer with New York City Ballet (NYCB), the company’s first Chinese and fourth Asian principal dancer in 74 years.
Born in Huizhou City, South China’s Guangdong Province in 1992, Chan has become attached to dance since childhood. However, his parents preferred him to be a doctor or a lawyer in the future. The uncompromising boy then wrote a seven-page letter to his parents describing his determination to study dance.
Thanks to the sincere letter, Chan finally gained the support of his family, and at the age of 12, he was admitted to Guangzhou Arts School, marking the start of his dream-seeking journey. Chan’s first turning point in life came at the age of 18, when he was a finalist in the 2010 Prix de Lausanne, which earned him a full scholarship to study with Houston Ballet’s second company, Houston Ballet II. Two years later, Chan joined Houston Ballet and became a principal in 2017. There, he gained a reputation as a confident and sensitive performer. In 2020, he appeared as a contestant on the Chinese television show Dance Smash on Hunan Satellite TV, which gained him a large following.
Chan returned to New York last year, and was finally promoted to the principal dancer with the NYCB in May this year. He attributes his success to his passion, hard work, concentration, perseverance and the pursuit of excellence.
In China, Chan’s success has become a source of pride. News of his promotion to principal dancer was widely circulated, and he has been featured repeatedly in the Chinese media, under headlines like “The Ballet Knight” and “After Dance Smash, he conquered New York.”
After performances audience members sometimes tell Chan that they have never seen Asian dancers in leading roles. He has been moved to hear young dancers of color say his example has given them hope for their own careers. “I used to think I danced just for myself,” he said. “Now I’m dancing for my family, for the audience, for the whole dance community.”
4. What can we learn about Chan
A. He is the first Asian principal dancer.
B. He is fond of dancing when he was young.
C. His parents have supported him from the beginning.
D. He gained the popularity in the 2010 Prix de Lausanne.
5. What does the underlined word “uncompromising” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Fearless. B. Cautious. C. Thoughtful. D. Determined.
6. Which of the following can best describe Chan
A. Generous and considerate. B. Passionate and devoted.
C. Warm-hearted and ambitious. D. Perseverant and talented
7. Chan changed his opinion about the significance of dancing because ________.
A. he got a lot of praises from the audience B. he had been promoted to principal dancer
C. he realized his dance inspired other dancers D. he received persistent support from his family
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. C

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Born in Huizhou City, South China’s Guangdong Province in 1992, Chan has become attached to dance since childhood.(陈镇威1992年出生于中国南方广东省惠州市，从小就对舞蹈情有独钟意)”可知，陈镇威年轻时喜欢跳舞。故选B。

A lot of businesses are started by people who have hobbies or special talents and want to turn these interests into a business. But switching from a hobby to a real business requires business know-how and investments, which stops many people. However, an increasing number of ambitious business owners have found a way to take a first step. They are taking their dreams and talents on the road—in vans and lorries, and even horse trucks.
Beginning on a small scale has its advantages, the most important of which is the relatively modest size of start-up costs. These costs, which consist primarily of, the vehicle and any required equipment, usually come to about only 5,000- 10,000. With such tightly controlled costs, mobile businesses often break even in a year or two; in contrast, success comes to brick-and-mortar businesses much more slowly, and they often fail within the first two years. In short, mobile businesses are relatively low-risk.
The first entrepreneurs (企业家) to do this have been in the food business. The mobile food vendor trend in the US and Europe has spread to other parts of the globe. The success of these street food vans has inspired other entrepreneurs to consider starting out on wheels.
UK entrepreneurs could take inspiration from the US where, today, there are vehicles that sell flowers, shoes, clothes and all kinds of specialty food items. There are also mobile businesses that provide services, such as hair styling, pet grooming and repair of high-tech devices. Mobile retail is not without problems, however. Weather, the increasing price of fuel, and just finding a place to set up are all challenges that mobile entrepreneurs have to deal with. These business owners, however, feel the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. In the US, the mobile food business alone generates an average annual revenue of $857 million.
Once convinced that their business has achieved enough success, some successful mobile entrepreneurs move on to a brick-and-mortar business. Others are satisfied to stay mobile. As stand-alone businesses or as extensions of shops, mobile retail has huge future potential in these economic times.
8. What’s the major cause for the rise of mobile business
A. High profit. B. Strong interest. C. Low investment. D. Convenient transport.
9. How does the author prove the advantages of the mobile business in paragraph 2
A By quoting a famous saying. B. By giving an example
C. By providing an explanation. D. By making a comparison.
10. Which of the following will make it harder for the owners to run the business
A. The vehicle care. B. The business permit.
C. The terrible storm. D. The insufficient supply.
11. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of mobile business
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Unconcerned. D. Neutral.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如今移动生意的兴起，解释了背后的原因，移动生意面临的挑战以及未来前景等。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Beginning on a small scale has its advantages, the most important of which is the relatively modest size of start-up costs.(从小规模开始有其优势，其中最重要的是启动成本相对较小)”可知，移动生意兴起的主要原因是投资少。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“With such tightly controlled costs, mobile businesses often break even in a year or two; in contrast, success comes to brick-and-mortar businesses much more slowly, and they often fail within the first two years. In short, mobile businesses are relatively low-risk.(在如此严格控制成本的情况下，移动生意通常会在一两年内实现收支平衡；相比之下，实体企业的成功要慢得多，往往在头两年内就失败了。简而言之，移动生意的风险相对较低)”可推知，作者在第二段通过比较证明移动生意的优势。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Weather, the increasing price of fuel, and just finding a place to set up are all challenges that mobile entrepreneurs have to deal with.(天气、不断上涨的燃料价格，以及找到一个创业的地方，这些都是移动创业者必须应对的挑战)”可知，可怕的风暴会使企业主更难做生意。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“As stand-alone businesses or as extensions of shops, mobile retail has huge future potential in these economic times.(作为独立业务或商店的延伸，移动零售在当前经济时代具有巨大的未来潜力)”可推知，作者对移动生意的未来持积极态度。故选B。
D
On holiday, many will find themselves in places where they do not speak the language. Once upon a time, they might have carried a phrasebook. The rise of English has made that less necessary. But most people still do not speak English. That leaves options like gestures, or, increasingly, technology.
Google Translate may be the best-known name in machine translation, but it often goes wrong. Take “my wife is gluten-free,” the kind of thing you might say at a restaurant abroad. In French or Italian, Google Translate interprets this as “my wife is without gluten (谷蛋白)” — true to the words rather than the meaning.
The best tool may not be a translation app at all. ChatGPT, an AI system that generates articles according to users’ instructions, is multilingual. Users can tell ChatGPT to “write a message in Spanish to a waiter that my wife and I would like the tasting menu, but that she is gluten-free, so we would like substitutions for anything that has gluten.” And out pops a perfect paragraph, including the way Spanish-speakers actually say “my wife is gluten-free”: mi esposa es celiaca. It is more like having a native-speaking dinner companion.
Travel has long been a motivator for study — unless people start to feel AI tools offer a good-enough service. Some are concerned that apps are turning language learning into a decreasing pursuit. Douglas Hofstadter, a polyglot and polymath writer, has argued that something profound will disappear when people talk through machines. He describes giving a difficult speech in Mandarin, which required a lot of work but offered a sense of accomplishment at the end. Who would boast of taking a helicopter to the top of Mount Everest
Others are less worried. Most people do not move abroad or have lasting contact with a foreign culture that requires them to put in the work to become fluent. Nor do most people learn languages for the purpose of humanising themselves or training their brains. On their holiday, they just want a beer and the spaghetti carbonara without incident (and sometimes without gluten).
12. According to the passage, what is the advantage of ChatGPT
A. It can meet users’ specific requirements.
B. It can generate a perfect paragraph in a short time.
C. It can translate sentences word by word correctly.
D. It can provide service and companion in the restaurant.
13. What is Douglas Hofstadter’s purpose of mentioning a helicopter
A. To stress the difficulty in giving a speech.
B. To show an interesting scene of a helicopter.
C. To introduce a way to reach the top of Mount Everest.
D. To highlight a sense of achievement of language learning.
14. The tone of the passage can be best described as ________.
A. humorous B. serious C. casual D. indifferent
15. What’s the best title for the passage
A. AI tools — deepening communication among people.
B. AI tools — improving people’s life in foreign countries.
C. AI tools — making travelling easier and more convenient.
D. AI tools — lessening the necessity of learning foreign languages.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人工智能工具ChatGPT的出现可以满足用户的特定要求，但是一些人担心，应用程序正在把语言学习变成一种越来越少的追求。其他人则不那么担心。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“ChatGPT, an AI system that generates articles according to users’ instructions, is multilingual.(ChatGPT是一种根据用户指令生成文章的人工智能系统，它是一种多语言系统)”可知，ChatGPT的优势是满足用户的特定要求。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“He describes giving a difficult speech in Mandarin, which required a lot of work but offered a sense of accomplishment at the end. Who would boast of taking a helicopter to the top of Mount Everest (他描述了用普通话发表一场困难的演讲，这需要大量的工作，但最后会给人一种成就感。谁会夸耀自己曾乘坐直升机登上珠穆朗玛峰？)”可推知，道格拉斯·霍夫施塔特提到直升机的目的是强调语言学习的成就感。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“It is more like having a native-speaking dinner companion.(这更像是和一个说母语的人共进晚餐)”;倒数第二段“Who would boast of taking a helicopter to the top of Mount Everest (谁会夸耀自己曾乘坐直升机登上珠穆朗玛峰？)”以及最后一段“On their holiday, they just want a beer and the spaghetti carbonara without incident (and sometimes without gluten).(在他们的假期里，他们只想要一杯啤酒和一份不出意外的意大利面条（有时不加麸质）)”可推知，文章是语气是幽默的。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“The best tool may not be a translation app at all. ChatGPT, an AI system that generates articles according to users’ instructions, is multilingual.(最好的工具可能根本不是翻译应用程序。ChatGPT是一种根据用户指令生成文章的人工智能系统，它是一种多语言系统)”结合文章主要说明了人工智能工具ChatGPT的出现可以满足用户的特定要求，但是一些人担心，应用程序正在把语言学习变成一种越来越少的追求。其他人则不那么担心。可知，D选项“人工智能工具——减少学习外语的必要性”最符合文章标题。故选D。

【答案】One Possible Version:
Scanning Translation Pens: Maximizing Classroom Benefits
In recent years, scanning translation pens have gained popularity among middle school students. However, their misuse presents challenges including over reliance, lack of understanding, distraction, and neglect of fairness of examinations.
To address these problems, students are supposed to be encouraged to use scanning pens selectively. They can use pens for complex or unfamiliar vocabulary but should try to understand simpler sentences on their own, which can help them avoid excessive dependence on these devices and attain balanced language development. In addition, it’s advisable for schools to establish clear guidelines on when and how scanning pens can be used, to ensure a more focused and fairer learning environment.
By following the suggestions, scanning pens can be used to their fullest potential, enhancing students’ language skills and their overall educational experience.

47. 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。
When I was six I played my first soccer game. It was a real game, complete with coaches, uniforms, and parents cheering from the sidelines.
Our two teams, Team One and Team Two, seemed pretty evenly matched, at least in the beginning. The first period ended without a single goal scored by either side. We were all still learning how to play the game properly, and our inexperience ran through this part. We stumbled over the ball, tripped over our own feet, and often completely missed our kicks. But what mattered most was that we were having fun, pure and simple.
The second quarter brought a significant change in the game. Our coach decided to pull out most of our starting players and put in the substitutes (替补), except for me—I was left guarding the goal. On the other side, Team Two’s coach decided to keep their best players on the field, which made things even more challenging for us. It seemed that winning suddenly become essential, even for us six-year-olds.
Team Two started to rule the game, and I found myself surrounded by their players whenever they came near our goal. I was determined to do my best, but it was tough. I couldn’t match the skills of three or four other really good players. Team Two began to score, one goal after another. I threw myself in front of the ball with all the energy I could gather, trying desperately to stop them but in vain.
The pressure was mounting, and I could feel my frustration building with every goal that slipped past me. I shouted, I ran, and I dove, but they kept scoring. I gave it everything I had, but it seemed useless.
My parents were there on the sidelines, and I could see them in the crowd. As the game progressed, I could see the change in my father’s expression. He had been urging me to try harder, yelling advice and encouragement from the sidelines, but now he seemed different. I could see the pain in his eyes, the pain he felt seeing me struggle. It made me want to cry.
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。
Team Two scored their fourth goal, and it was half-time break.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In that moment, what my father said meant the world to me.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Team Two scored their fourth goal, and then it was half-time break. I retrieved the ball from the net and handed it to the referee, feeling utterly helpless. Overwhelmed with despair, I dropped to my knees, tears of a broken-hearted child rolling down my cheeks. It was in that moment that my father made his way onto the field. When he picked me up and held me tightly, the whole world seemed to disappear for a moment. He said in a gentle but firm voice, “Sweetie, it doesn’t matter how many times they scored on you. I’m proud of you. I want you to go back out there and finish the game. Go on now!” (103 words)
In that moment, what my father said meant the world to me. When I felt all alone and defeated, knowing that my dad stood by my side, loving and supporting me unconditionally, made all the difference in the world—I could tell it did. Without hesitation, I wiped away my tears and ran back onto the field, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. And yes, they did score two more times, but this time, it was different. With my dad’s words echoing in my heart, I knew that I could keep going, no matter what. (84 words)
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者六岁时参加足球比赛的经历。一开始比赛双方都没有得分，但是在下半场，教练开始让替补球员上场，而对方却保留了最好的球员，导致得分差距越来越大。作者作为守门员，发挥不好，无法阻止对方得分，最后以0：6失利。在场边观看的父亲一直呼喊着鼓励，但当看到作者情绪低落时，则选择了上场慰问，给作者带来了巨大的安慰和鼓舞。最后，作者在父亲鼓舞下回到场上比赛，尽管最终失败了，但是感觉到了父亲的支持与爱，而且也学到了不放弃的精神。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“二队进了第四个球，然后中场休息。”可知，第一段可描写作者因为输球而感觉到难过和无助，同时描写作者的父亲前来安慰和鼓励。

2.续写线索：对方进球作者感觉无助和绝望——父亲前来安慰和鼓励——作者转变态度积极迎战——即使对方赢球，但作者依旧积极坦然面对——最终感悟

“It’s incredible. I never thought my dream would come true so soon,” Chinese ballet dancer Chun Wai Chan recalled the scene when he got the news in May that he was promoted to the principal dancer with New York City Ballet (NYCB), the company’s first Chinese and fourth Asian principal dancer in 74 years.
Born in Huizhou City, South China’s Guangdong Province in 1992, Chan has become attached to dance since childhood. However, his parents preferred him to be a doctor or a lawyer in the future. The uncompromising boy then wrote a seven-page letter to his parents describing his determination to study dance.
Thanks to the sincere letter, Chan finally gained the support of his family, and at the age of 12, he was admitted to Guangzhou Arts School, marking the start of his dream-seeking journey. Chan’s first turning point in life came at the age of 18, when he was a finalist in the 2010 Prix de Lausanne, which earned him a full scholarship to study with Houston Ballet’s second company, Houston Ballet II. Two years later, Chan joined Houston Ballet and became a principal in 2017. There, he gained a reputation as a confident and sensitive performer. In 2020, he appeared as a contestant on the Chinese television show Dance Smash on Hunan Satellite TV, which gained him a large following.
Chan returned to New York last year, and was finally promoted to the principal dancer with the NYCB in May this year. He attributes his success to his passion, hard work, concentration, perseverance and the pursuit of excellence.
In China, Chan’s success has become a source of pride. News of his promotion to principal dancer was widely circulated, and he has been featured repeatedly in the Chinese media, under headlines like “The Ballet Knight” and “After Dance Smash, he conquered New York.”
After performances, audience members sometimes tell Chan that they have never seen Asian dancers in leading roles. He has been moved to hear young dancers of color say his example has given them hope for their own careers. “I used to think I danced just for myself,” he said. “Now I’m dancing for my family, for the audience, for the whole dance community.”
4. What can we learn about Chan
A. He is the first Asian principal dancer.
B. He is fond of dancing when he was young.
C. His parents have supported him from the beginning.
D. He gained the popularity in the 2010 Prix de Lausanne.
5. What does the underlined word “uncompromising” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Fearless. B. Cautious. C. Thoughtful. D. Determined.
6. Which of the following can best describe Chan
A. Generous and considerate. B. Passionate and devoted.
C. Warm-hearted and ambitious. D. Perseverant and talented
7. Chan changed his opinion about the significance of dancing because ________.
A. he got a lot of praises from the audience B. he had been promoted to principal dancer
C. he realized his dance inspired other dancers D. he received persistent support from his family
C
A lot of businesses are started by people who have hobbies or special talents and want to turn these interests into a business. But switching from a hobby to a real business requires business know-how and investments, which stops many people. However, an increasing number of ambitious business owners have found a way to take a first step. They are taking their dreams and talents on the road—in vans and lorries, and even horse trucks.
Beginning on a small scale has its advantages, the most important of which is the relatively modest size of start-up costs. These costs, which consist primarily of, the vehicle and any required equipment, usually come to about only 5,000- 10,000. With such tightly controlled costs, mobile businesses often break even in a year or two; in contrast, success comes to brick-and-mortar businesses much more slowly, and they often fail within the first two years. In short, mobile businesses are relatively low-risk.
The first entrepreneurs (企业家) to do this have been in the food business. The mobile food vendor trend in the US and Europe has spread to other parts of the globe. The success of these street food vans has inspired other entrepreneurs to consider starting out on wheels.
UK entrepreneurs could take inspiration from the US where today, there are vehicles that sell flowers, shoes, clothes and all kinds of specialty food items. There are also mobile businesses that provide services, such as hair styling, pet grooming and repair of high-tech devices. Mobile retail is not without problems, however. Weather, the increasing price of fuel, and just finding a place to set up are all challenges that mobile entrepreneurs have to deal with. These business owners, however, feel the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. In the US, the mobile food business alone generates an average annual revenue of $857 million.
Once convinced that their business has achieved enough success, some successful mobile entrepreneurs move on to a brick-and-mortar business. Others are satisfied to stay mobile. As stand-alone businesses or as extensions of shops, mobile retail has huge future potential in these economic times.
8. What’s the major cause for the rise of mobile business
A. High profit. B. Strong interest. C. Low investment. D. Convenient transport.
9. How does the author prove the advantages of the mobile business in paragraph 2
A. By quoting a famous saying. B. By giving an example
C. By providing an explanation. D. By making a comparison.
10. Which of the following will make it harder for the owners to run the business
A. The vehicle care. B. The business permit.
C. The terrible storm. D. The insufficient supply.
11. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of mobile business
A. Negative. B. Positive. C. Unconcerned. D. Neutral.
D
On holiday, many will find themselves in places where they do not speak the language. Once upon a time, they might have carried a phrasebook. The rise of English has made that less necessary. But most people still do not speak English. That leaves options like gestures, or, increasingly, technology.
Google Translate may be the best-known name in machine translation, but it often goes wrong. Take “my wife is gluten-free,” the kind of thing you might say at a restaurant abroad. In French or Italian, Google Translate interprets this as “my wife is without gluten (谷蛋白)” — true to the words rather than the meaning.
The best tool may not be a translation app at all. ChatGPT, an AI system that generates articles according to users’ instructions, is multilingual. Users can tell ChatGPT to “write a message in Spanish to a waiter that my wife and I would like the tasting menu, but that she is gluten-free, so we would like substitutions for anything that has gluten.” And out pops a perfect paragraph, including the way Spanish-speakers actually say “my wife is gluten-free”: mi esposa es celiaca. It is more like having a native-speaking dinner companion.
Travel has long been a motivator for study — unless people start to feel AI tools offer a good-enough service. Some are concerned that apps are turning language learning into a decreasing pursuit. Douglas Hofstadter, a polyglot and polymath writer, has argued that something profound will disappear when people talk through machines. He describes giving a difficult speech in Mandarin, which required a lot of work but offered a sense of accomplishment at the end. Who would boast of taking a helicopter to the top of Mount Everest
Others are less worried. Most people do not move abroad or have lasting contact with a foreign culture that requires them to put in the work to become fluent. Nor do most people learn languages for the purpose of humanising themselves or training their brains. On their holiday, they just want a beer and the spaghetti carbonara without incident (and sometimes without gluten).

47. 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。
When I was six, I played my first soccer game. It was a real game, complete with coaches, uniforms, and parents cheering from the sidelines.
Our two teams, Team One and Team Two, seemed pretty evenly matched, at least in the beginning. The first period ended without a single goal scored by either side. We were all still learning how to play the game properly, and our inexperience ran through this part. We stumbled over the ball, tripped over our own feet, and often completely missed our kicks. But what mattered most was that we were having fun, pure and simple.
The second quarter brought a significant change in the game. Our coach decided to pull out most of our starting players and put in the substitutes (替补), except for me—I was left guarding the goal. On the other side, Team Two’s coach decided to keep their best players on the field, which made things even more challenging for us. It seemed that winning suddenly become essential, even for us six-year-olds.
Team Two started to rule the game, and I found myself surrounded by their players whenever they came near our goal. I was determined to do my best, but it was tough. I couldn’t match the skills of three or four other really good players. Team Two began to score, one goal after another. I threw myself in front of the ball with all the energy I could gather, trying desperately to stop them but in vain.
The pressure was mounting, and I could feel my frustration building with every goal that slipped past me. I shouted, I ran, and I dove, but they kept scoring. I gave it everything I had, but it seemed useless.
My parents were there on the sidelines, and I could see them in the crowd. As the game progressed, I could see the change in my father’s expression. He had been urging me to try harder, yelling advice and encouragement from the sidelines, but now he seemed different. I could see the pain in his eyes, the pain he felt seeing me struggle. It made me want to cry.
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。
Team Two scored their fourth goal, and it was half-time break.
