D.AllareheldneartheRiverThames.【答案】1.C2.C3.B【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了英国四个有名音乐节日的详情。【1题详解】细节理解题。由TheGlastonburyFestival中的“......about120,000peoplegotoiteverysummer”可知，每年夏天约有12万人参加。由TheReadingFestival中About80,000musicfansgotoReading……中和TheWOMADFestival中Thefestivalwelcomesover26,000visitorseachyear.Theone-dayMonstersofRockFestival中the30,000peoplewhogothereinsummerdays.参加人数对比可知，TheGlastonburyFestival吸引了最多的粉丝。故选C项。【2题详解】推理判断题。由TheReadingFestival中的“About80,000musicfansgotoReadingeveryAugustBankHoliday.和ThefestivalfirstcametoitspresentsiteonthebanksoftheRiverThamesinReadingin1971whenitmovedfromPlumptoninSussex”可知，1971年，该节日从苏塞克斯郡的普卢普顿搬到现在位于泰晤士河沿岸的雷丁。所以判断出TheReadingFestival是以举办地点命名的。故选C项。【3题详解】细节理解题。由第一段“Thenumberoffestivalshasgrowngreatlyoverthelastfewyearsandnowtherearearound200everysummer”可知，在过去的几年里，节日的数量有了很大的增长，现在每年夏天大约有200个节日。再结合每部分细节Thefestivalstartedin1970andabout120,000peoplegotoiteverysummer.……；gotoReadingeveryAugust……；takesplaceinJuly；……whogothereinsummerdays.提到的时间可知，这四个节日的共同特点是都在夏天举办。故选B项。BOnajourneytothelittle-knownNortheastregionofIndia,wediscover“ararecreature”:the“ForestManofIndia”.Nearlyeverydayforalmost40yearsnow,JadavPayeng,alocalfarmer,hasrisenbeforedawntocrosstheriveronhisboat,andbeginsthedailytwo-milejourneytohisvegetablefarmandhislife’smission:revivingtheecosystemhere.WhenPayengwasaboy,theriverislandofMajuliwasattachedtothemainland.Overthepastseveraldecades,erosion(侵蚀)fromthepowerfulriverwatersoftheBrahmaputrahasgraduallycutitofffromthemainland.“Earlier,thiswasallsand.Notrees,nograss—nothingwashere.”Todayfieldsoftallgrassesstretchintothedistance.Alongwithbrightgreenplainsdottedwithcows,cottontreesstandstraightinrowsasfarastheeyecansee.Payengsetaboutplantingherein1979,afterunexpectedlyseeingsomedeadsnakespiledonthesandintheIndiansun.“WhenIsawit,Ithoughtevenwehumanswillhavetodiethiswayintheheat.Itstruckme,”hesaid.Payengsoughtnopermissiontoplanttheforest.Hejustgrewit,carryingonhistribe’straditionofhonoringnature.Thedenseforestnowcoversanareaofmorethan1,300acres.Heisdelightedthatwildelephantscrosstheshallowriverwaterstowalkaroundinhisforest.Besideselephants,thehomeisfilledwithdeer,monkeys,tigersandawidevarietyofbirds.“It’snotasifIdiditalone,”saystheself-stylednaturalist.“Youplantoneortwotrees,andtheyhavetoseed.Andoncetheyseed,thewindknowshowtoplantthem,thebirdshereknowhowtosowthem,cowsknow,elephantsknow,eventheBrahmaputraRiverknows.Theentireecosystemknows.”Payenghassingle-handedlychangedthelandscape.Whenaskedhowhehassustainedhispassion,Payengstrikesarespectfultone.“Naturegivesmeinspiration.Itgivesmepower.Aslongasitsurvives,Isurvive.”4.WhatdoesPara.2mainlytalkabout?A.HowMajuliislandgotitsname.B.HowMajulihaschangedovertime.C.WhatPayenghasdoneinthe40years.D.WhytherewasallsandonMajuliearlier.5.WhatmadePayengstartplantingtrees?A.Thesightofdeadsnakes.B.Thepermissionofthetribe.C.Thetraditionofrespectingnature.D.Themissionofrevivingtheecosystem.6.WhatcanwelearnfromPara.4?A.Theecosystemisrecovering.B.Payengtakeselephantstohisforest.C.Theforestishometoallwildanimals.D.Payengplantsthetreeswithothers’help.7.Whatisthebesttitleofthepassage?A.AnImpressiveForestB.ABalancedEcosystemC.ALifetimeofPlantingTreesD.AnEffortofSavingRareCreatures【答案】4B5.A6.A7.C【解析】【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文中介绍了Payeng在Majuli通过不断地种树，慢慢地恢复当地的生态系统。【4题详解】主旨大意题。根据第二段中““Earlier,thiswasallsand.Notrees,nograss—nothingwashere.”Todayfieldsoftallgrassesstretchintothedistance.Alongwithbrightgreenplainsdottedwithcows,cottontreesstandstraightinrowsasfarastheeyecansee.(“早些时候，这里全是沙子。这里没有树，没有草——什么都没有。”如今，一片片高大的草地一直延伸到远方。)”，可知本段主要讲述的是Majuli这些年来所发生的变化。故选B。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“Payengsetaboutplantingherein1979,afterunexpectedlyseeingsomedeadsnakespiledonthesandintheIndiansun.(1979年，在印度的阳光下，Payeng意外地看到一些死蛇堆在沙滩上，于是他开始在这里种植。)”可知，Payeng意外地看到一些死蛇堆在沙滩上，于是他开始在这里种植。故选A。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中“Thedenseforestnowcoversanareaofmorethan1,300acres.Heisdelightedthatwildelephantscrosstheshallowriverwaterstowalkaroundinhisforest.Besideselephants,thehomeisfilledwithdeer,monkeys,tigersandawidevarietyofbirds.(这片茂密的森林现在占地面积超过1300英亩。他很高兴看到野象穿过浅浅的河水在他的森林里走来走去。除了大象，家里还有鹿、猴子、老虎和各种各样的鸟类。)”可知，这里的生态系统在不断地恢复。故选A。【7题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，文章讲述的是Payeng在Majuli通过不断地种树，慢慢地恢复当地的生态系统。C选项“ALifetimeofPlantingTrees(种树的一生)”概括文章主题，同时也交代了Payeng坚持的精神。故选C。CEvenifyouaren'tintoartificialintelligence,it'stimetopayattentiontoChatGPT,becausethisoneisabigdeal.ChatGPTisanAlchatbotsystemthatOpenAIreleasedinNovembertoshowoffandtestwhataverylarge,powerfulAlsystemcanaccomplish.ChatGPTisbuiltontopoftheOpenAIGPT-3familyoflargelanguagemodels.Itletsyoutypenatural-languagepromptsandthenoffersconversationalresponses.Itremembersthethreadofyourdialogue,usingpreviousquestionsandanswerstoinformitsnextresponses.Itfindsrelevantinformationinitsoceansoftrainingdata,andconvertsthatintoplausible-soundingparagraphsoftext.Youcanaskitcountlessquestionsandoftenwillgetananswerthat'suseful.Forexample.youcanaskitencyclopediaquestionslike."ExplainNewton'slawsofmotion."Youcantellit.“Writemeapoem."andwhenitdoes.say."Nowmakeitmoreexciting.”Youcanaskittowriteacomputerprogra

D.【答案】12.D13.D14.B15.A【解析】【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了地球正在经历第六次大规模灭绝：每天有30至159种物种消失，自1500年以来已有300多种动物死亡．这对我们这个星球上的未来生命并不好，但如果我们能够使一些已灭绝的物种恢复生机，会怎么样？【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“Thegoalshavetobeaboutecologicalrestorationandfunction.（目标必须是生态恢复和功能。）”可知，BenNovak可能同意抵抗灭绝的目的是恢复原有的环境，故选D。【13题详解】主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段““Honestly,thethingthatscaresmemostisthatthepublicabsorbsthemisimpressionthatextinctionisnolongerscary.Thegeneralattitudebecomes:Deforest,noworry,wecanreforest.Ifwedrivesomethingextinct,noworry,wecande-extinctit.”saidMcCauley.（说道：“老实说，最让我害怕的是公众对灭绝不再感到害怕的错误印象。人们的普遍态度是：砍伐森林，不用担心，我们可以重新造林。如果我们把灭绝的东西赶走，别担心，我们可以使灭绝的东西复活”。）”可知，本段主要就讲述了抵抗复活对保护濒危物种的影响，故选D。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第四段“However,weneedtothinktwiceaboutNovak’sidea.Anynewscientificinitiativeisboundtohaverisks,soisde-extinction.Althoughsomeassumethatde-extinctionmayhelptheenvironment,wecan’tbesosure.（然而，我们需要再考虑一下Novak的想法。任何新的科学倡议都必然有风险，复活灭绝也是如此。尽管有人认为复活灭绝可能有助于环境，但是我们无法肯定。）”可知，作者对于复活灭绝是持怀疑的态度，他认为这样做是有风险的，并且也无法肯定是否对环境有帮助，故选B。【15题详解】推理判断题。根据文章可知，文章第二段“Somescientistsareconfidentandoptimisticaboutde-extinction.（一些科学家对于复活灭绝是由信心，且乐观的。）”和第三段“However,weneedtothinktwiceaboutNovak’sidea.Anynewscientificinitiativeisboundtohaverisks,soisde-extinction.（然而，我们应该再考虑一下Novak的想法。任何新的科学倡议都必然有风险，复活灭绝也是如此。）”可知，文章第一段引入主题，如何分别提出了两个对立的观点，第五段又提出了另外一些科学家的观点，第6段做了总结，故文章的结构符合选项A，故选A。第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10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。Howstrongareyou?Thatisadifficultquestiontoanswer,whetheryouareamanorawoman.But,really,Iwanttoask...howdoyoudefine(定义)yourstrength?Howdoyouknowyourlimits?Whenpushed,weoftendiscoverthatwearemuchstrongerthanwethink.___16___Strengthisnotalwaysjustaboutphysicalstrength.Rather,it'saboutwillpower,disciplineanddrive.___17___Iknowsomepeoplewhoareintelligent,buttheygetverylittledoneintheirjobs.AndIknowotherswhofindworkverydifficult,butareabletomovemountainsbytheirhardwork.Theyhaveinnerstrength.LimitingyourselfWhatIhaveobservedisthatmostpeoplelimitthemselves.Theylimittheiroutputaccordingtohowlimitedtheyimaginetheirabilitiesandstrengthstobe.Sometimestheselimitsarebasedonpastexperiences.Sometimestheyarebasedonwhattheythinktheirabilitiesare.___18___Pushingit...Manypeopleareworkingout,butnowherenearasmuchastheycould.___19___Pushingyourselfiswhatittakestoincreaseyourlimits.Inthegym,bodybuildersdiscoveredthislongago.But,thisisalsotruewhenitcomestoinnerstrength.Wanttotestyourlimits?Pushyourself.Testyourlimitstoseeiftheyaresimplywhatyouimaginethemtobe.Makesureyourgoalsareslightlybeyondwhatyouthinkcanbeachieved.YouarestrongerthanyouthinkMostpeopleunderestimate(低估)theirstrength.Asyougothroughyourday,testyourlimits.Pushyourselftofindyourtruelimitsanddefineyourstrength.___20___A.PhysicalabilityB.Whatisstrength?C.Thesameappliestodailylife.D.It'sabouttheabilitytogetthingsdone.E.Sometimestheselimitsarebasedonnothing.F.Ifyouwanttobestronger,youhavetopushyourself.G.Whendiscoveringhowmuchyou'vereallygot,youmaysurpriseevenyourself.【答案】16.B17.D18.E19.F20.G【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章给出了“力量”的定义，同时给出了关于“如何变得强大”的建议和方法。【16题详解】根据第二段第一句内容“Strengthisnotalwaysjustaboutphysicalstrength.Rather,it'saboutwillpower,disciplineanddrive.（力量并不总是指身体的力量。相反，它关乎意志力、纪律和动力。）”可知，该段内容对于“力量是什么”做了解释，所以该段的小标题应提出“力量是什么”这个问题来作为全段的中心句。故选B项。【17题详解】根据后文内容“Iknowsomepeoplewhoareintelligent,buttheygetverylittledoneintheirjobs.AndIknowotherswhofindworkverydifficult,butareabletomovemountainsbytheirhardwork.（我认识一些很聪明的人，但他们在工作中少有成就。我也知道有些人工作很辛苦，但却能靠自己的努力移山。）”可知，作者用两种人做例子来说明判断一个人是否有力量的标准是：是否能有所成就。选项D“它是关于完成事情的能力。”可以概括后文的内容，且该项中的主语it指代前文提到的strength，进一步对小标题提出的“力量是什么”的问题进行了解答。起到了承上启下的过渡作用。故选D项。【18题详解】根据空前的两个排比句“Sometimestheselimitsarebasedon….Sometimestheyarebasedon…”可知，选项E在句式结构和内容方面都上与前文一致，E项“有时这些限制是毫无根据的。”符合语境。故选E项。【19题详解】根据第二个小标题内容“Pushingit..（推动它..）”可知，该段内容是关于“推动”的；又根据空后的“Pushingyourselfiswhatittakestoincreaseyourlimits.（逼迫自己是增加你的极限所需要的。）”可知，设空处应填入关于“自我推动”内容的句子，选项F“如果你想变得更强，你就得鞭策自己。”符合题意，且该项中的pushyourself与前后内容相呼应，故选F项。【20题详解】根据前文“Pushyourselftofindyourtruelimitsanddefineyourstrength.（逼自己找到自己真正的极限，并定义自己的力量。）”可知，作者建议读者怎样找到自己的真正极限，而选项G“当你发现你真正拥有了多少时，你可能会让自己都感到惊讶。”写出了在作者的建议下自我推动之后的结果，同时也向读者说明了“自我推动”的好处，符合行文逻辑。故选G项。第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分)第一节完形填空(共20小题;每小题分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。Thereareyoungtreesnearmywindow,growingproudlyaroundpinkflowers.Mylittlehillwiththetrees___21___meofmychildhoodbestfriend.The___22___ofabestfriendlastsevenifthefriendshipdoesnot.ImetmybestfriendMariannewhenIwas14.ShesatbehindmeinourGrade9classroom.Icanstill___23___hertherewithorangehair.Shewasthinandhadbrighteyes,asweetsmileandaninvitingopenness.Oncesheaskedmeovertoherhouseafterschool.Wefirststoppedatabakerytosatisfyournever-ending___24___.Weeachboughttwosmallcakes,andstarted___25___withmouthsfullofcake.Thelaughternever___26___.Welaughedthroughelegantdinnersandplayinghide-and-seekinthedark.Wewere___27___.Wesuckedallthechildhoodjuicesoutofouryounglives___28___therewasnomorechildhoodtosuckup.Andthenwewerereadyto___29___.MarianneandIwentin____30____directions.Inourlate20s,wemetupforone____31____lunchinacafeafterIbumpedintoherinToronto.WebecameFacebookfr
