Climate change does not offer comfort, but it can produce winners as well as losers. With parts of England as hot as the Champagne region of France was in the 1980s, the sparkling-wine industry is already bubbling. Longer sunny periods will make it easier for British winemakers to make quality wines.
A recent study from the London School of Economics finds that climate change is also expanding the area in England suitable for making wine. Most vineyards (葡萄园) are in south-east England but more land as far north as the east Midlands could come into use. Alistair Nesbitt, the study’s lead author, says that by 2040 higher temperatures may also allow winemakers to grow more disease-resistant varieties of grapes.
As a result, a mini land rush is under way. According to Strutt & Parker, a consultancy, Britain has over 900 vineyards, up by 80% in the past five years. Essex, Sussex and Kent are of most interest to winemakers. This summer Jackson Family Wines, an American firm, became the first big maker of wines to invest in England; it plans to acquire around 26 hectares (公顷) in Essex. London clay, a mud found in high concentrations in the county, is ideal for producing bold red wine.
Nick Watson of Strutt & Parker says that the prices of established vineyards have increased sharply and that land suitable for viticulture (葡萄栽培) now sells for 40,000-50,000 per hectare. Such prices pale next to those in famed wine regions abroad: in Bordeaux land can fetch over 1.6m a hectare. The difference has little to do with the quality of the soil and much to do with a region’s reputation.
Other aspects of climate change are less welcome for winemakers. A year of heavy rain or severe drought could destroy entire crops. John Atkinson, a winemaker in Essex, says that making good wine all comes down to the soil, the weather and the barrel. “Growing grapes in this country is a bit like playing cricket,” he says, “There are so many ways to be out.”
24. According to the first two paragraphs, climate change has led to __________.
A. a change in the nutrition of grapes
B. the expansion of suitable land for vineyards
C. longer sunny periods in the Champagne region
D. improved skills of British winemakers in wine making
25. The author uses the example of Jackson Family Wines in paragraph 3 to show __________.
A. London clay is ideal for grape growth
B. Essex is the best place for wine making
C. investments in vineyards in England are increasing
D. the global wine market is experiencing significant growth
26. What does the underlined word “pale” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Drop sharply. B. Appear more obvious.
C. Look normal. D. Seem less impressive.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Rise of English Viticulture
B. Invest in the UK Wine Industry
C. Sing the Praises of Climate Change
D. Growing Popularity of British Wines
C
Soda bottles and sour cream containers—these plastics (and many others) typically arrive at recycling plants mixed together in the same bin. But because they are made of different molecular (分子的) building blocks, called monomers, they must be sorted into different streams before they can be melted to make new products. Otherwise, their various monomers tend to separate from one another like oil and water.
“Until about a year ago, everybody thought the only thing you could do is take a plastic, break it down to a monomer and then reform it,” says Sanat Kumar, a chemical engineer at Columbia University. “Now we’ve come up with a different way of doing it.” His team has developed a process that allows different kinds of plastic to be recycled together. Their findings, reported recently in Nature, could give new life to many items that end up in landfills.
The new process solves the problem by adding chemicals called universal dynamic cross-linkers to the mix. Just as soap brings together oil and water, these cross-linkers form covalent (共价的) molecular bonds that tie the diverse monomers together. This process creates materials that can keep certain useful properties of each plastic, such as keeping oxygen from passing through. These materials can then be melted and remade again and again because the cross-linkers can break and re-form their bonds.
The researchers hope the technique could eventually help repurpose more plastic waste, and Kumar says the process consumes less energy than breaking plastics down into their original monomers—but it’s not yet cheap enough to be widely used at existing recycling facilities. Still, showing that it works could lead to profitable markets for less expensive recycled plastics, which Kumar says would be one way to help recyclers eventually address the plastic waste crisis. “The plastics problem is huge,” he says, “and you’re going to have to look for multiple solutions.”
28. What’s the first paragraph mainly about
A. The recycling method of plastics.
B. The present situation of plastic pollution.
C. The difficulty of recycling mixed plastics.
D. The variety in monomers among different plastics.
29. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Sorting out plastics. B. Recycling plastics.
C. Breaking down plastics. D. Melting plastics.
30. What is special about universal dynamic cross-linkers
A. They can be used as soap to bond oil and water.
B. They can keep oxygen from passing through.
C. They can maintain their own useful properties.
D. They can help bring different monomers together.
31. What challenge is Sanat Kumar’s technique facing
A. Its relatively high cost. B. Its low efficiency.
C. Its negative environmental effect. D. Its high energy consumption.
D
Almost every day I’ve been having an alarming number of “what planet am I on ” moments. This is particularly true when it comes to the topic of artificial intelligence.
Witness this headline from the New York Times: “The Godfather of A.I. Warns of Danger Ahead.” Here’s another one, from the New York Post: “Ex-Google Exec Mo Gawdat Warns AI Could Create ‘Killing Machines.’” But don’t worry! Here’s more, from CNBC: “An Annual Meeting Attended by the World’s Elite (精英) Has A.I. Top of the Agenda.” These unaccountable, largely unelected rich people are apparently ready to solve the problems of this mad world. The assumption, it appears, is that this “honored” group has it all under control, which is funny given that the crazed AI cat is already miles out of its torn bag. I’ll say it again: What planet am I on
But my friends, who decided all this, anyway Who made AI king The answer is nobody, and also everybody, I guess. No one’s really in charge, and if we’re honest with each other, there is not a thing anyone can do. As to me, I do try. I don’t upload my photos to the cloud. I don’t engage with ChatGPT, and I never use facial recognition on my phone—but my husband does both. “You’re feeding the beast!” I tell him. “Who cares ” he usually replies, “It’s happening with or without us.”
Maybe AI will make it a lot easier to re-book airline tickets with flight credits that you unwillingly earned when the airline canceled your flight home from your ski vacation. Just kidding—of course it won’t. But in all seriousness, I’m sure AI will make the government completely efficient. Ha! Got you again! Sometimes I like to think back to the 90’s, when sizeable numbers of smart people were all complaining about the “end of history” and the general assumption was that things in the future would get ever more sensible. It all seems kind of funny now, doesn’t it
Here’s the good news: I just made my husband read this column, and he finally agreed to disable facial recognition on his phone. The bad news: I think it requires facial recognition to get it done.
32. The underlined sentence in paragraph 2 implies that __________.
A. we should dismiss AI warnings from experts
B. AI technology has made significant advancements
C. negative impacts of AI have become uncontrollable
D. the world is amazed by the rapid development of AI
33. By mentioning her husband in paragraph 3, the author intends to __________.
A. criticize him for misusing AI
B. urge readers to resist the use of AI
C. demonstrate the possibility of being slave to AI
D. present a common perspective people have on AI
34. According to the passage, what is the author most likely to agree with
A. AI makes the world more sensible.
B. AI doesn’t live up to our expectations.
C. AI makes the government less efficient.
D. AI can solve the complex problems humans are facing.
35. What is the author’s tone in the text
A. Confident. B. Ironic. C. Proud. D. Dismissive.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Lions are often incorrectly called the “king of the jungle”. These days, the giant cats are not feared as much as another “super predator (捕食者)”—the animals living in South Africa now fear humans more than lions, according to a study published recently. ____36____
The study focused on Greater Kruger National Park in South Africa. Scientists set up speakers and cameras around 21 waterholes in the dry season between June and August. The researchers chose the site since waterholes are known as a small pool of water where animals drink. ____37____ This makes waterholes a popular hunting spot for both lions and poachers (偷猎者).
During the experiment, the researchers played different sounds. These included lions roaring, and humans speaking calmly in local languages. The study found that animals were twice as likely to run away from a human voice than a lion sound. ____38____ The results suggest that animals have learned that being close to humans can be dangerous because they might be poachers. This could pose a problem to national parks that depend on making money from safari tourism. ____39____
____40____ Endangered species, such as the southern white rhino (犀牛), could be protected by using recorded human voices. For instance, rhinos abandon waterholes much quicker when they hear human voices over other sounds, which could help to drive the frightened species away from places where poachers are known to lie in wait.
A. Visitors might scare the animals away when approaching them.
B. The animals at the waterhole included elephants, giraffes and rhinos.
C. The sounds could keep them away from areas popular with poachers.
D. However, the findings might be very useful for wildlife conservation.
E. Roughly 95 percent of the animals there are more scared of human voices.
F. Animals also abandoned the waterholes 40% faster when they heard human noises.
G. At this time of year, animals come here to drink as other sources of water disappear.

Sometimes, the support and encouragement that we give each other can spread and truly change people’s lives. In the case of one Florida student David Smith, the support of a local network of strangers and his school made memories he will never forget.
When Laura Snyder, an elementary school teacher at Altamonte Elementary School, celebrated “College Colors Day” with her class, David melted her heart.
Despite being a devoted fan of the University of Tennessee (UT) sports teams, he did not own any official merchandise (货品) and resorted to his creativity to show his support. The young student drew the school’s logo on a piece of paper, and attached it to an orange T-shirt to resemble (相似于) the school colors of the UT sports teams.
“When the day finally arrived, he was so excited to show me his shirt,” Snyder revealed on Facebook. “I was impressed that he took it one step further to make his own label.”
Unfortunately, by mid-day, David was in tears.
“At lunch, some girls made fun of his sign that he had attached to his shirt. He felt extremely depressed. He has lost his former confidence and smile, and rarely talks about his favorite sports team.” said Snyder.
Determined to make the situation right Snyder went on Facebook with the hope of reaching the staff members from the university. Though she originally just planned to get David some official merchandise, what happened next took everyone by surprise.
In a week, the post had gained so much attention that tens of thousands of people had shared the story, standing up for the student, who had been bullied (霸凌) at school. Tennessee fans from all over the country poured in with comments of support and encouragement, and soon the university even got in touch to send the boy an official package of merchandise, including T-shirts, hats, pens, towels, and water bottles.
When the package arrived at the office, Snyder called David in.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Wearing a big smile, David walked into the classroom, followed by Snyder.

M: Oh, I know it. But I just can’t stop. I’ve had this caffeine habit for years.
W: It sounds as if you’ve got a real problem. Have you ever been to a doctor or tried to get help
M: I never have. I’ve thought about it, but just can’t take the time.
W: What are you doing after work I’ll take you to a place that can help you.
M: You seem to know a lot about addictive habits.
W: I do. I used to drink five Cokes a day myself.

W: All I have is a 35-mm camera and a 50-mm lens.
M: Well, your camera is exactly what you want out in the field, because it’s light and easy to work with. However, you should think about getting yourself a special lens for close-ups of animals and another for scenery.
W: My goodness! I didn’t realize I’d need so much equipment.
M: There are certain basic articles you need. I could lend you a few to help you.
W: Oh, no. I can never borrow your equipment. I’d be so afraid of breaking it.
M: In that case, I’ll sell it to you for a reasonable price, and you can pay for it by working here on Saturdays. Then you’d have the opportunity not only to get some equipment but to learn a few things as well.
W: Thank you so much.

Climate change does not offer comfort, but it can produce winners as well as losers. With parts of England as hot as the Champagne region of France was in the 1980s, the sparkling-wine industry is already bubbling. Longer sunny periods will make it easier for British winemakers to make quality wines.
A recent study from the London School of Economics finds that climate change is also expanding the area in England suitable for making wine. Most vineyards (葡萄园) are in south-east England but more land as far north as the east Midlands could come into use. Alistair Nesbitt, the study’s lead author, says that by 2040 higher temperatures may also allow winemakers to grow more disease-resistant varieties of grapes.
As a result, a mini land rush is under way. According to Strutt & Parker, a consultancy, Britain has over 900 vineyards, up by 80% in the past five years. Essex, Sussex and Kent are of most interest to winemakers. This summer Jackson Family Wines, an American firm, became the first big maker of wines to invest in England; it plans to acquire around 26 hectares (公顷) in Essex. London clay, a mud found in high concentrations in the county, is ideal for producing bold red wine.
Nick Watson of Strutt & Parker says that the prices of established vineyards have increased sharply and that land suitable for viticulture (葡萄栽培) now sells for 40,000-50,000 per hectare. Such prices pale next to those in famed wine regions abroad: in Bordeaux land can fetch over 1.6m a hectare. The difference has little to do with the quality of the soil and much to do with a region’s reputation.
Other aspects of climate change are less welcome for winemakers. A year of heavy rain or severe drought could destroy entire crops. John Atkinson, a winemaker in Essex, says that making good wine all comes down to the soil, the weather and the barrel. “Growing grapes in this country is a bit like playing cricket,” he says, “There are so many ways to be out.”
24. According to the first two paragraphs, climate change has led to __________.
A. a change in the nutrition of grapes
B. the expansion of suitable land for vineyards
C. longer sunny periods in the Champagne region
D. improved skills of British winemakers in wine making
25. The author uses the example of Jackson Family Wines in paragraph 3 to show __________.
A. London clay is ideal for grape growth
B. Essex is the best place for wine making
C. investments in vineyards in England are increasing
D. the global wine market is experiencing significant growth
26. What does the underlined word “pale” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Drop sharply. B. Appear more obvious.
C. Look normal. D. Seem less impressive.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. The Rise of English Viticulture
B. Invest in the UK Wine Industry
C. Sing the Praises of Climate Change
D. Growing Popularity of British Wines
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了气候变化扩大了英国适合酿酒的地区，同时也导致适合种植葡萄园的土地扩大。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据前两段内容尤其是第二段“A recent study from the London School of Economics finds that climate change is also expanding the area in England suitable for making wine. Most vineyards (葡萄园) are in south-east England but more land as far north as the east Midlands could come into use. ”（伦敦经济学院最近的一项研究发现，气候变化也扩大了英国适合酿酒的地区。大多数葡萄园都在英格兰东南部，但更多的土地，甚至远至北部的英格兰中部东部，都可以投入使用。）可知，根据前两段内容，我们可以了解到气候变化导致适合种植葡萄园的土地扩大。故选B项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“As a result, a mini land rush is under way. According to Strutt & Parker, a consultancy, Britain has over 900 vineyards, up by 80% in the past five years. Essex, Sussex and Kent are of most interest to winemakers. This summer Jackson Family Wines, an American firm, became the first big maker of wines to invest in England; it plans to acquire around 26 hectares (公顷) in Essex. London clay, a mud found in high concentrations in the county, is ideal for producing bold red wine.”（因此，一场小规模的土地抢购正在进行。据咨询公司Strutt & Parker称，英国有超过900个葡萄园，在过去五年中增长了80%。酿酒师最感兴趣的是埃塞克斯、苏塞克斯和肯特。今年夏天，美国的杰克逊家族葡萄酒公司成为第一家在英国投资的大型葡萄酒制造商；该公司计划在埃塞克斯收购约26公顷土地。伦敦粘土是一种高浓度的泥土，是酿造烈性红酒的理想原料。）可推知，作者在第三段中以杰克逊家族葡萄酒公司为例，是为了说明对英国葡萄园的投资正在增加。故选C项。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“Nick Watson of Strutt & Parker says that the prices of established vineyards have increased sharply and that land suitable for viticulture (葡萄栽培) now sells for 40,000-50,000 per hectare.”（Strutt&Parker的Nick Watson表示，成熟葡萄园的价格急剧上涨，适合葡萄栽培的土地现在每公顷售价为4-5万英镑。）和划线单词句中“in Bordeaux land can fetch over 1.6m a hectare.”（在波尔多，每公顷土地可以卖到160多万英镑。）以及下文“The difference has little to do with the quality of the soil and much to do with a region’s reputation.”（这种差异与土壤质量没有多大关系，而与一个地区的声誉有很大关系。）由此可知，此处为与国外著名的葡萄酒产区相比，这样的价格相形见绌。故可猜测第四段中划线的“pale”意思为“看起来没那么令人印象深刻”。故选D项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第二段“A recent study from the London School of Economics finds that climate change is also expanding the area in England suitable for making wine. Most vineyards (葡萄园) are in south-east England but more land as far north as the east Midlands could come into use. ”（伦敦经济学院最近的一项研究发现，气候变化也扩大了英国适合酿酒的地区。大多数葡萄园都在英格兰东南部，但更多的土地，甚至远至北部的英格兰中部东部，都可以投入使用。）可知，文章主要讲的是气候变化扩大了英国适合酿酒的地区，同时也导致适合种植葡萄园的土地扩大。故文章最好的标题是“英国葡萄栽培的兴起”。故选A项。
C
Soda bottles and sour cream containers—these plastics (and many others) typically arrive at recycling plants mixed together in the same bin. But because they are made of different molecular (分子的) building blocks, called monomers, they must be sorted into different streams before they can be melted to make new products. Otherwise, their various monomers tend to separate from one another like oil and water.
“Until about a year ago, everybody thought the only thing you could do is take a plastic, break it down to a monomer and then reform it,” says Sanat Kumar, a chemical engineer at Columbia University. “Now we’ve come up with a different way of doing it.” His team has developed a process that allows different kinds of plastic to be recycled together. Their findings, reported recently in Nature, could give new life to many items that end up in landfills.
The new process solves the problem by adding chemicals called universal dynamic cross-linkers to the mix. Just as soap brings together oil and water, these cross-linkers form covalent (共价的) molecular bonds that tie the diverse monomers together. This process creates materials that can keep certain useful properties of each plastic, such as keeping oxygen from passing through. These materials can then be melted and remade again and again because the cross-linkers can break and re-form their bonds.
The researchers hope the technique could eventually help repurpose more plastic waste, and Kumar says the process consumes less energy than breaking plastics down into their original monomers—but it’s not yet cheap enough to be widely used at existing recycling facilities. Still, showing that it works could lead to profitable markets for less expensive recycled plastics, which Kumar says would be one way to help recyclers eventually address the plastic waste crisis. “The plastics problem is huge,” he says, “and you’re going to have to look for multiple solutions.”
28. What’s the first paragraph mainly about
A. The recycling method of plastics.
B. The present situation of plastic pollution.
C. The difficulty of recycling mixed plastics.
D. The variety in monomers among different plastics.
29. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Sorting out plastics. B. Recycling plastics.
C. Breaking down plastics. D. Melting plastics.
30. What is special about universal dynamic cross-linkers
A. They can be used as soap to bond oil and water.
B. They can keep oxygen from passing through.
C. They can maintain their own useful properties.
D. They can help bring different monomers together.
31. What challenge is Sanat Kumar’s technique facing
A. Its relatively high cost. B. Its low efficiency.
C. Its negative environmental effect. D. Its high energy consumption.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了哥伦比亚大学化学工程师Sanat Kumar和他的团队开发了一种工艺，可以将不同种类的塑料一起回收利用。他们最近在《自然》杂志上发表的研究结果可能会给许多最终被扔进垃圾填埋场的物品带来新的生命。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Soda bottles and sour cream containers—these plastics (and many others) typically arrive at recycling plants mixed together in the same bin. But because they are made of different molecular (分子的) building blocks, called monomers, they must be sorted into different streams before they can be melted to make new products. Otherwise, their various monomers tend to separate from one another like oil and water.”（汽水瓶和酸奶油容器——这些塑料(以及许多其他塑料)通常被混在同一个垃圾箱里送到回收厂。但是，由于它们是由不同的称为单体的分子构成的，所以它们必须被分类到不同的流中，然后才能熔化以制造新产品。否则，它们的各种单体就会像油和水一样相互分离。）可知，第一段主要讲的是混合塑料回收的困难。故选C项。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段中“His team has developed a process that allows different kinds of plastic to be recycled together.”（他的团队开发了一种工艺，可以将不同种类的塑料一起回收利用。）由此可知，第二段中划线的“it”指的是回收塑料。故选B项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The new process solves the problem by adding chemicals called universal dynamic cross-linkers to the mix. Just as soap brings together oil and water, these cross-linkers form covalent (共价的) molecular bonds that tie the diverse monomers together.”（新工艺通过在混合物中加入一种叫做通用动态交联剂的化学物质来解决这个问题。就像肥皂把油和水结合在一起一样，这些交联剂形成共价分子键，把不同的单体结合在一起。）可知，通用动态交联剂的特别之处是它们可以将不同的单体结合在一起。故选D项。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The researchers hope the technique could eventually help repurpose more plastic waste, and Kumar says the process consumes less energy than breaking plastics down into their original monomers—but it’s not yet cheap enough to be widely used at existing recycling facilities.”（研究人员希望这项技术最终可以帮助更多塑料垃圾重新利用，Kumar说，这个过程比把塑料分解成原来的单体消耗更少的能源，但它还不够便宜，无法在现有的回收设施中广泛使用。）可知，Sanat Kumar的技术面临的挑战是它的成本相对较高。故选A项。
D
Almost every day I’ve been having an alarming number of “what planet am I on ” moments. This is particularly true when it comes to the topic of artificial intelligence.
Witness this headline from the New York Times: “The Godfather of A.I. Warns of Danger Ahead.” Here’s another one, from the New York Post: “Ex-Google Exec Mo Gawdat Warns AI Could Create ‘Killing Machines.’” But don’t worry! Here’s more, from CNBC: “An Annual Meeting Attended by the World’s Elite (精英) Has A.I. Top of the Agenda.” These unaccountable, largely unelected rich people are apparently ready to solve the problems of this mad world. The assumption, it appears, is that this “honored” group has it all under control, which is funny given that the crazed AI cat is already miles out of its torn bag. I’ll say it again: What planet am I on
But my friends, who decided all this, anyway Who made AI king The answer is nobody, and also everybody, I guess. No one’s really in charge, and if we’re honest with each other, there is not a thing anyone can do. As to me, I do try. I don’t upload my photos to the cloud. I don’t engage with ChatGPT, and I never use facial recognition on my phone—but my husband does both. “You’re feeding the beast!” I tell him. “Who cares ” he usually replies, “It’s happening with or without us.”
Maybe AI will make it a lot easier to re-book airline tickets with flight credits that you unwillingly earned when the airline canceled your flight home from your ski vacation. Just kidding—of course it won’t. But in all seriousness, I’m sure AI will make the government completely efficient. Ha! Got you again! Sometimes I like to think back to the 90’s, when sizeable numbers of smart people were all complaining about the “end of history” and the general assumption was that things in the future would get ever more sensible. It all seems kind of funny now, doesn’t it
Here’s the good news: I just made my husband read this column, and he finally agreed to disable facial recognition on his phone. The bad news: I think it requires facial recognition to get it done.
32. The underlined sentence in paragraph 2 implies that __________.
A. we should dismiss AI warnings from experts
B. AI technology has made significant advancements
C. negative impacts of AI have become uncontrollable
D. the world is amazed by the rapid development of AI
33. By mentioning her husband in paragraph 3, the author intends to __________.
A. criticize him for misusing AI
B. urge readers to resist the use of AI
C. demonstrate the possibility of being slave to AI
D. present a common perspective people have on AI
34. According to the passage, what is the author most likely to agree with
A. AI makes the world more sensible.
B. AI doesn’t live up to our expectations.
C. AI makes the government less efficient.
D. AI can solve the complex problems humans are facing.
35. What is the author’s tone in the text
A. Confident. B. Ironic. C. Proud. D. Dismissive.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. B
【解析】

【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“These unaccountable, largely unelected rich people are apparently ready to solve the problems of this mad world. The assumption, it appears, is that this “honored” group has it all under control, which is funny given that the crazed AI cat is already miles out of its torn bag.”（这些不负责任的、大部分未经选举的富人显然已经准备好解决这个疯狂世界的问题。看起来，这个“光荣”的团体似乎已经控制住了一切，这很有趣，因为疯狂的人工智能猫已经从撕破的袋子里跑出来了。）由此可知，第2段中划线的句子暗示人工智能的负面影响已经变得无法控制。故选C项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“I don’t upload my photos to the cloud. I don’t engage with ChatGPT, and I never use facial recognition on my phone—but my husband does both. “You’re feeding the beast!” I tell him. “Who cares ” he usually replies, “It’s happening with or without us.””（我不把照片上传到云端。我不使用ChatGPT，也从不在手机上使用面部识别功能——但我丈夫两者都用。“你在喂野兽！”我告诉他。“谁在乎呢？他通常会回答：“不管有没有我们，事情都会发生。”）可知，作者提到自己的丈夫对于人工智能的看法，目的是提出人们对人工智能的共同看法。故选D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Maybe AI will make it a lot easier to re-book airline tickets with flight credits that you unwillingly earned when the airline canceled your flight home from your ski vacation.

Got you again!”（也许人工智能会让你更容易用航空公司取消你滑雪度假回家的航班时不情愿获得的航班积分来重新预订机票。开个玩笑——当然不会。但说真的，我相信人工智能将使政府完全高效。哈！又抓到你了！）可推知，作者认为人工智能并没有达到我们的期望。故选B项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据对文章的理解以及最后一段“Here’s the good news: I just made my husband read this column, and he finally agreed to disable facial recognition on his phone. The bad news: I think it requires facial recognition to get it done.”（好消息是：我刚刚让我丈夫读了这篇专栏，他终于同意禁用手机上的面部识别功能。坏消息是：我认为这需要面部识别才能完成。）可知，，作者在短文中表达了对人工智能的担忧和不解，指出一些富有的人似乎准备解决这个疯狂世界的问题，但实际上没有人真正掌控局面。作者还讨论了自己对人工智能的态度，以及对人工智能可能带来的影响的一些幽默和严肃的看法。由此可推知，作者在文章中的语气是具有讽刺意味的。故选B项。
第二节(共5题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Lions are often incorrectly called the “king of the jungle”. These days, the giant cats are not feared as much as another “super predator (捕食者)”—the animals living in South Africa now fear humans more than lions, according to a study published recently. ____36____
The study focused on Greater Kruger National Park in South Africa. Scientists set up speakers and cameras around 21 waterholes in the dry season between June and August. The researchers chose the site since waterholes are known as a small pool of water where animals drink. ____37____ This makes waterholes a popular hunting spot for both lions and poachers (偷猎者).
During the experiment, the researchers played different sounds. These included lions roaring, and humans speaking calmly in local languages. The study found that animals were twice as likely to run away from a human voice than a lion sound. ____38____ The results suggest that animals have learned that being close to humans can be dangerous because they might be poachers. This could pose a problem to national parks that depend on making money from safari tourism. ____39____
____40____ Endangered species, such as the southern white rhino (犀牛), could be protected by using recorded human voices. For instance, rhinos abandon waterholes much quicker when they hear human voices over other sounds, which could help to drive the frightened species away from places where poachers are known to lie in wait.
A. Visitors might scare the animals away when approaching them.
B. The animals at the waterhole included elephants, giraffes and rhinos.
C. The sounds could keep them away from areas popular with poachers.
D. However, the findings might be very useful for wildlife conservation.
E. Roughly 95 percent of the animals there are more scared of human voices.
F. Animals also abandoned the waterholes 40% faster when they heard human noises.
G. At this time of year, animals come here to drink as other sources of water disappear.
【答案】36. E 37. G 38. F 39. A 40. D
【解析】

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了考古学家在中国南海深处发现了两艘沉船，这是古代海上丝绸之路商业和文化交流的见证。这一发现为研究中国瓷器的历史提供了新的线索。
【56题详解】
考查形容词。句意：考古学家在南海深处发现了两艘沉船，它们见证了古代海上丝绸之路的商业和文化交流。空处需要形容词作定语修饰后面的名词exchanges。commerce为名词“商业”，其形容词形式为commercial“商业的”。故填commercial。
【57题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：随着沉船事故的发生，人们还发现了陶器和瓷器，其中大部分产于被称为中国“瓷都”的景德镇。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词pottery and porcelain。先行词指物，在非限定性定语从句中作介词of的宾语，所以需要关系代词which引导定语从句。故填which。
【58题详解】
考查名词。句意：今年，通过使用41次潜水的载人潜艇进行海洋探测和水下调查，确认了沉船的位置。分析句子结构可知，空处需要名词作介词of的宾语。detect为动词，其名词形式为detection“探测”。故填detection。
【59题详解】
考查时态。句意：第一号沉船事件追溯到明朝正德皇帝（1506-1521）时代。分析句子结构可知，空处为句子的谓语动词。此处描述客观事实，所以用一般现在时态，主语为第三人称单数形式，date from (追溯到)无被动形式。故填dates。
【60题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：根据对这艘船的研究，考古学家认为它是开往马六甲或东南亚的另一个贸易中心。be bound for“开往……”。故填for。
【61题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在长约21米、宽约8米的二号沉船上，共发现了36件文物，包括加工过的原木和瓷器。分析句子结构可知，空处需要非谓语动词作后置定语，修饰前面的名词短语the No. 2 shipwreck，measure意为“（重/长/宽）量度为……”，此时该动词为系动词，无被动，此时measure的主动形式含有被动意义，用现在分词作定语。故填measuring。
【62题详解】
考查冠词。句意：在长约21米、宽约8米的二号沉船上，共发现了36件文物，包括加工过的原木和瓷器。a total of“总数为……”。故填a。
【63题详解】
考查可数名词的复数形式。句意：这是南海考古中最重要的考古项目之一。one of +可数名词的复数形式，表示“……之一”，用可数名词program的复数形式。故填programs。
【64题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：龙泉瓷器的质量先前被认为在15世纪后期有所下降。be thought to do sth.“被认为做某事”。根据语境可知，龙泉瓷器的质量被认为在15世纪后期已经有所下降。动词不定式的动作发生在谓语动作之前，所以用动词不定式的完成形式。故填to have declined。
【65题详解】
考查时态。句意：然而，由于在一号沉船中发现了大量龙泉精品，迄今为止，人们重新考虑了这一想法。分析句子结构可知，空处为句子的谓语动词。根据时间状语so far可知，本句话为现在完成时态，主语的中心部分为the discovery，谓语单数形式。故填has led。

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。
Sometimes, the support and encouragement that we give each other can spread and truly change people’s lives. In the case of one Florida student David Smith, the support of a local network of strangers and his school made memories he will never forget.
When Laura Snyder, an elementary school teacher at Altamonte Elementary School, celebrated “College Colors Day” with her class, David melted her heart.
Despite being a devoted fan of the University of Tennessee (UT) sports teams, he did not own any official merchandise (货品) and resorted to his creativity to show his support. The young student drew the school’s logo on a piece of paper, and attached it to an orange T-shirt to resemble (相似于) the school colors of the UT sports teams.
“When the day finally arrived, he was so excited to show me his shirt,” Snyder revealed on Facebook. “I was impressed that he took it one step further to make his own label.”
Unfortunately, by mid-day, David was in tears.
“At lunch, some girls made fun of his sign that he had attached to his shirt. He felt extremely depressed. He has lost his former confidence and smile, and rarely talks about his favorite sports team.” said Snyder.
Determined to make the situation right, Snyder went on Facebook with the hope of reaching the staff members from the university. Though she originally just planned to get David some official merchandise, what happened next took everyone by surprise.
In a week, the post had gained so much attention that tens of thousands of people had shared the story, standing up for the student, who had been bullied (霸凌) at school. Tennessee fans from all over the country poured in with comments of support and encouragement, and soon the university even got in touch to send the boy an official package of merchandise, including T-shirts, hats, pens, towels, and water bottles.
When the package arrived at the office, Snyder called David in.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Wearing a big smile, David walked into the classroom, followed by Snyder.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1：
When the package arrived at the office, Snyder called David in. As she opened the package and handed over all the merchandise to him, David’s eyes widened with excitement and curiosity. He had never expected to possess such a big collection of official UT sports teams’ merchandise! When the teacher told him how her Facebook post about him caught so much attention and support, he was on the verge of tears. Snyder patted him on the shoulder, reassuring him that someone would always stand up for him. A smile reemerged on his face as he proudly put on one of the T-shirts and returned to the classroom with the remaining merchandise.
Paragraph 2：
Wearing a big smile, David walked into the classroom, followed by Snyder. Seeing David wearing his new UT T-shirt and holding so much official merchandise, his classmates crowded around him eagerly and asked where he got them. Snyder seized this opportunity to teach the class an important lesson about empathy and standing up for others. After she the whole story, silence fell over the classroom. Unexpectedly, David walked around, distributing the merchandise to his classmates. The room was filled with high fives and hugs as the kids expressed their gratitude. “This experience is uniting my class more than I could have imagined and they’ve seen the impact of support and encouragement! ” Snyder said.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了当阿尔塔蒙特小学的小学老师Laura Snyder和全班同学一起庆祝“大学色彩日”时，David作为田纳西大学运动队的忠实粉丝，并没有任何官方商品，而是利用自己的创造力来表达自己的支持——他在一张纸上画了学校的标志，然后把它贴在一件橙色的 T 恤衫上，使它看起来像德州大学运动队的校色。但这这遭到了一些学生的嘲笑，这使得他极度沮丧，失去了以前的自信和微笑，并很少谈论他最喜欢的运动队。Laura Snyder老师决定改变这种情况，于是在Facebook发布了这件事，希望能够联系到大学的教职员工，能给David买到一些官方商品，但这个帖子受到了很多人的关注。来自全国各地的田纳西球迷纷纷发表了支持和鼓励的评论，很快，田纳西大学甚至联系上了这个男孩，给他寄去了一个官方的商品包裹，包括 T 恤、帽子、钢笔、毛巾和水瓶。
