When I was a baby, I entertained you and made you laugh．Whenever I was “bad”, you’d shake your finger at me and ask: “How could you ”—— but then you’d give up, and roll me over for a belly scratch and I believed that life could not be any more perfect．
My housetraining was a long process, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. We went for long walks, runs in the park and car rides. We stopped for ice cream. I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.
Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. Eventually, you fell in love. She, now your wife, is not a dog person, but I still welcomed her into our home. I was happy because you were happy. Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement, I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them too. Your wife was afraid I would bite them. But nevertheless, as they began to grow, I became their friend.
Now, you have a new job in another city and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. You’ve made the right decision for your “family”, but there was a time when I was your only family.
I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the dog pound. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said: “I know you will find a good home for her.” They shrugged and gave you a pained look. The children were in tears as they waved me goodbye. And “How could you ” were the only three words that swept over my mind.
Is it better to live with hope or without hope At first, whenever anyone passed my pen, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you, that you had changed your mind and that this was all a bad dream.
My beloved master, I will think of you and wait for you forever. I hope you receive more faithfulness from your family than you showed to me.

Even if you haven’t tried Pamela’s workouts, her name likely rings a bell -the German-born model is one of the world’s most popular fitness influencers. Lately, she’s been trying out something new: Baduanjin, a traditional Chinese fitness exercise, originally created over 800 years ago during the Song Dynasty. The name generally refers to how the eight individual movements characterize and give a silken quality to the movement of the body and its energy.
Baduanjin used to be popular mainly among older Chinese folks, but young people are now also getting into it. No equipment is necessary and it requires very little space or, perhaps most importantly in our fast-paced lives, time. In fact, it’s perfect for office workers, as they often suffer from lower back pain caused by hours sitting in front of the computer.
The video of Pamela doing Baduanjin has become a hit on Chinese social media, receiving millions of views. In addition to 9.68 million followers on YouTube, Pamela has established a presence on Chinese social media, including Bilibili, with more than 11.6 million followers. Showing her perfect figure year-round, Pamela has become an inspiration for many people worldwide, offering pathways to fat-burning, increased energy, and improved sleep quality.
Apparently, no one can resist the charm of Baduanjin. “I have been doing Baduanjin for about one month, which makes me sleep well and get stronger. I owe big thanks to Baduanjin since it gives me a much healthier lifestyle,” a young netizen commented below the video.
But not all people are suitable for practicing Baduanjin. Liu Xiaodan, an associate professor at Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, cautioned that people should always put safety first when doing Baduanjin, and patients who are extremely weak and fall easily should not take up this exercise.
8. What can we learn about Baduanjin from the text
A. It is 8 movements practised with a silk band.
B. It is created by Pamela for young people.
C. It helps office workers slow down their pace.
D. It helps people sleep better and get into shape.
9. How did the author show the benefits of practising Baduanjin

C. Unexpected and strange. D. Eye-catching and inspiring.
11. What should be considered if one wants to take up Baduanjin
A. Physical condition. B. Social trend.
C. Pace of life. D. Work pattern.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. A

【10题详解】
推理判断题。 根据第一段 “Even if you haven’t tried Pamela’s workouts, her name likely rings a bell -the German-born model is one of the world’s most popular fitness influencers. (即使你没有尝试过Pamela的锻炼，她的名字可能对你很熟悉——这位德国出生的模特是世界上最受欢迎的健身影响者之一。)”可知，Pamela 是一个健身博主，她的名字广为人知，她练习八段锦这件事也是很吸引眼球的，同时也可以激励他人。故选 D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。 根据最后一段“Liu Xiaodan, an associate professor at Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, cautioned that people should always put safety first when doing Baduanjin, and patients who are extremely weak and fall easily should not take up this exercise. (上海中医药大学副教授刘小丹提醒说，人们在做八段锦时要始终把安全放在第一位，身体非常虚弱、容易摔倒的患者不应该做这项运动。)”可知，如果想要练习八段锦，需要考虑自身的身体状况。故选 A。

Diplomacy (外交) is an art. It requires not only strategy, but also other aspects, including intuition, persuasion, and even tricks, human skills that have long been unreachable to even the most powerful artificial intelligence (AI) approaches. Now, an AI algorithm (算法) from a high-tech company has shown it can beat many humans in a game of diplomacy, which required both strategic planning and negotiations with other players. The work, researchers said, could point the way toward virtual exercise coaches and conflict mediators (调解员) .
AI has already beaten humans in some games of strategy. It is also proving powerful at natural-language processing, in which it can generate humanlike text and carry on conversations. In the game of diplomacy, seven players vied for control of Europe. On each turn, players issued orders regarding the movement of army and naval units, following discussion with other players, whom they could attack or support.
There are two technical innovations noted by Jonathan Gratch, a computer scientist at the University of Southern California who studies negotiation agents. First, the Al agent’s com-munication is grounded in multistep planning. Second. the Al agent keeps its remarks and game play within the range of human common practice.
To test its skill, the researchers had the Al agent play 40 online games against humans. It placed in the top 10% of players who’d played at least two games. “In a game that involves language and negotiation, that agents can reach human equal level is very exciting,” said Yu, a computer scientist at Columbia University.
According to Brown, a computer scientist at the company who co-authored the paper, the work could lead to practical applications in fields that now require a human touch. One specific example is that virtual personal assistants might help consumers negotiate for better prices on plane tickets. Gratch and Yu both see opportunities for agents that persuade people to make healthy choices or open up during therapy.
12. Who is likely to benefit from the research work
A. A famous cyber athlete. B. A professor of civil law.
C. A professional accountant. D. A virtual fitness instructor.
13. What does the underlined word “vied” mean in paragraph 2
A. Accounted. B. Apologized. C. Searched. D. Competed.
14. Why does the author mention AI agent
A. To understand the thought of AI. B. To illustrate the advantages of AI.
C. To describe the importance of AI. D. To introduce the strategy of AI.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. Diplomacy, a Popular Game B. AI Learns the Art of Diplomacy
C. Al Will Become a Perfect Diplomat D. An Excellent Game Player
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了人工智能具有了谈判和其他一些外交技能。
12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“The work, researchers said, could point the way toward virtual exercise coaches and conflict mediators (调解员).(研究人员表示，这项工作可能会为虚拟运动教练和冲突调解人指明方向)”可知，虚拟健身教练可能从这项研究工作中受益。故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“In the game of diplomacy, seven players(在外交游戏中，七名玩家)”和下文“control of Europe(控制欧洲)”可知，划线词所在句子表示“在外交游戏中，七名选手争夺对欧洲的控制权”。由此可知，划线词vied的意思是“竞争”，和competed意思相近，故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“First, the Al agent’s com-munication is grounded in multistep planning. Second. the Al agent keeps its remarks and game play within the range of human common practice.(首先，人工智能主体的通信建立在多步骤规划的基础上。第二。人工智能代理将其言论和游戏玩法保持在人类通常做法的范围内)”和第四段“To test its skill, the researchers had the Al agent play 40 online games against humans. It placed in the top 10% of players who’d played at least two games. “In a game that involves language and negotiation, that agents can reach human equal level is very exciting,” said Yu, a computer scientist at Columbia University.(为了测试它的技能，研究人员让人工智能和人类玩了40场在线游戏。它在至少玩过两款游戏的玩家中排名前10%。“在一个涉及语言和谈判的游戏中，智能体能达到与人类相当的水平是非常令人兴奋的，”哥伦比亚大学的计算机科学家Yu说)”可推知，作者提到人工智能代理是为了说明人工智能的优势。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Now, an AI algorithm (算法) from a high-tech company has shown it can beat many humans in a game of diplomacy, which required both strategic planning and negotiations with other players. The work, researchers said, could point the way toward virtual exercise coaches and conflict mediators (调解员).(现在，一家高科技公司的人工智能算法显示，它可以在外交游戏中击败许多人类，这需要战略规划和与其他玩家的谈判。研究人员表示，这项工作可能会为虚拟运动教练和冲突调解人指明方向)”可知，本文主要介绍了人工智能具有的谈判和其他一些外交技能。由此可知，最好的标题是B选项“AI Learns the Art of Diplomacy(人工智能学会了外交艺术)”。故选B。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是过去三十年里，政府、社会组织和当地农民共同努力控制Kubuqi沙漠的荒漠化所付出的努力以及取得的成效。
【36题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：然而，在过去的30年里，政府、社会组织和当地农民共同努力控制Kubuqi沙漠的荒漠化。分析句子结构可知，此处为谓语动词，根据时间状语in the past 30 years可知，应用现在完成时，且work与句子主语“the government, social organizations and local farmers”之间为主动关系，主语表示复数概念。故填have worked。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意：但由于气候变化和人类的过度开发，农田逐渐变成了沙漠。分析句子结构可知，此处为固定短语due to，意为“由于，因为”符合句意。故填to。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：随着第一条穿越沙漠的公路在这里建成，人们开始在整个沙漠种植树木。分析句子结构可知，此处为“with+宾语+宾补”的结构，其中宾语the first highway与非谓语动词build之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，且动作已经完成，所以使用过去分词形式作宾语补足语。故填built。
39题详解】
考查冠词。句意：随着第一条穿越沙漠的公路在这里建成，人们开始在整个沙漠种植树木。结合句意可知，此处特指上文的库布齐沙漠，用定冠词the。故填the。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意：最终，他们的辛勤工作激发了“Kubuqi 精神”，鼓励当地人极力奉献给沙漠。分析句子结构可知，此处为副词作状语修饰整个句子，ultimate的副词为ultimately意为“最终”所以应用副词形式，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Ultimately。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：最终，他们的辛勤工作激发了“Kubuqi 精神”，鼓励当地人极力奉献给沙漠。分析句子结构可知，此处应为固定短语encourage sb. to do sth. 意为“鼓励某人做某事”，所以此处应使用不定式形式作宾补，结合句意，此处devote与宾语local people之间为主动关系。故填to devote。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意：30多年来，Kubuqi的植树技术进一步提高。分析句子结构可知，此处应为名词作宾语，improve的名词为improvement意为“提高”符合句意，且为不可数名词。故填improvement。
【43题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：现在工人们可以在十秒钟内种下一棵树，树木的成活率超过80%。分析句子结构可知，此处应为名词作宾语，根据空前的ten可知，此处应填可数名词复数，ten seconds意为“十秒钟”。故填seconds。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：Meng Keda的家族世代生活在Kubuqi沙漠深处，2006年，他开始做旅游生意，去年赚了30万元。分析句子结构可知，此处为关系词引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为Meng Keda，与空后的名词family之间为所属关系，所以使用关系代词whose在从句中作定语。故填whose。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意：Meng Keda的家族世代生活在Kubuqi沙漠深处，2006年，他开始做旅游生意，去年赚了30万元。分析句子结构可知，“began a tourism business”与“earned about 300,000 yuan”之间为并列结构，结合句意，两者之间为并列关系，所以此处使用并列连词and。故填and。

1.你的观点或看法；2.如何建立和增强自信。
注意：1.开头已给出； 2.写作词数应为80左右。
Good morning, boys and girls!
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Good morning, boys and girls! It’s a great honour for me to stand here and deliver a speech themed Self-confidence. Self-confidence, an essential quality that helps individuals overcome challenges and achieve their goals, is not a natural characteristic but can be developed through consistent effort and practice.
One way to build self-confidence is by setting goals and celebrating small victories. Breaking down larger goals into smaller, manageable tasks can help create a sense of progress and accomplishment. Another habit that can boost self-confidence is to challenge negative self-talk with positive thinking, which can help individuals overcome self-doubt.
In a word, self-confidence is not something that can be acquired overnight but is a skill that can be fostered over time. So let’s try our best to become confident! Thank you!

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。
Arvin started a business with great enthusiasm but just after a few months his business went under. Time passed but Arvin didn’t start any new work. His teacher got to know about his situation and called him to his home.
The teacher asked,“Why don’t you start some other work ”
Arvin replied, “I gave my everything to my business and yet it still failed. ” success and sometimes we don’t. This doesn’t mean that we stop working. ”
“What’s the point of doing work, when I can’t be sure of success ” Arvin replied with a bit of annoyance.
The teacher took Arvin to a room and showed him a dead tomato plant. Arvin was confused and said, “It’s dead. Why are you showing it to me ”
The teacher replied, “When I sowed its seed, I did everything right for it. I watered it， fertilized it， sprayed it with pesticide(杀虫剂). I took great care of it but it still died. ” He stopped for a while and then said, “Doing work is the same. . . No matter how hard you try, you cannot decide what happens in the end. However,you can control those things in your hands. Just do your best!”
Arvin asked, “But if there is no guarantee of success then what’s the use of doing anything ”
The teacher said,“You’d better not think like that. . . ”
“What’s wrong with that. . . I have given so much hard work, so much money, so much time; if success is only a matter of chance, then what is the use of doing so much ” said Arvin and he was about to leave.
Just then the teacher stopped him and said, “Before you leave, I want to show you one more thing. ”
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。
He took Arvin to another room and opened the door.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At that very moment, Arvin read the lesson of success.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考答案：
He took Arvin to another room and opened the door. There was a pile of big red tomatoes lying there. “Why are you showing me this ” Arvin asked, annoyance written on his face. Just then the teacher said in a gentle voice, “These tomatoes are the result of not giving up on growing plants. Similarly, if you keep doing the right things, your chances of getting success are greatly increased. But if you give up because of one or two failures, life will reward you with nothing.”
At that very moment, Arvin read the lesson of success. Greatly inspired, he understood what he had to do now and left with a different idea. He conducted some market research and started a new business. No one could guarantee he would succeed this time but there was a chance. Like Arvin, many people make their failure as a reason for not trying further. It is true that no matter how hard we try, we cannot control the result. But it is also true that those who keep trying to get success will get it tomorrow if not today. Every failure is a step toward success.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Arvin以满腔热情去创业，结果却失败了。自此之后他无所事事，觉得从事不能保证成功的事情毫无意义。老师得知他的情况后，用自己种西红柿的经历告诉他人生的道理。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“他把Arvin带到另一个房间，打开了门。”可知，第一段可描写老师给Arvin看种活了的西红柿，并给他讲述了道理。
②由第二段首句内容“就在那一刻，Arvin读懂得了成功的道理。”可知，第二段可描写Arvin重新振作，继续创业。
2.续写线索：展示西红柿——讲述成功的道理——重整旗鼓开始创业——哲理感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①展示：show/display
②放弃：give up /quit
③保证：guarantee /ensure
情绪类
①烦恼：annoyance /annoyed
②鼓舞：inspired/encouraged
【点睛】
[高分句型1] Similarly, if you keep doing the right things, your chances of getting success are greatly increased.（运用了从属连词if引导条件状语从句）
[高分句型2] Greatly inspired, he understood what he had to do now and left with a different idea.（过去分词作状语以及由连接代词what引导宾语从句）

When I was a baby, I entertained you and made you laugh．Whenever I was “bad”, you’d shake your finger at me and ask: “How could you ”—— but then you’d give up, and roll me over for a belly scratch and I believed that life could not be any more perfect．
My housetraining was a long process, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. We went for long walks, runs in the park and car rides. We stopped for ice cream. I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.
Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. Eventually, you fell in love. She, now your wife, is not a dog person, but I still welcomed her into our home. I was happy because you were happy. Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement, I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them too. Your wife was afraid I would bite them. But nevertheless, as they began to grow, I became their friend.
Now, you have a new job in another city and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. You’ve made the right decision for your “family”, but there was a time when I was your only family.
I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the dog pound. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said: “I know you will find a good home for her.” They shrugged and gave you a pained look. The children were in tears as they waved me goodbye. And “How could you ” were the only three words that swept over my mind.
Is it better to live with hope or without hope At first, whenever anyone passed my pen, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you, that you had changed your mind and that this was all a bad dream.
My beloved master, I will think of you and wait for you forever. I hope you receive more faithfulness from your family than you showed to me.

Even if you haven’t tried Pamela’s workouts, her name likely rings a bell -the German-born model is one of the world’s most popular fitness influencers. Lately, she’s been trying out something new: Baduanjin, a traditional Chinese fitness exercise, originally created over 800 years ago during the Song Dynasty. The name generally refers to how the eight individual movements characterize and give a silken quality to the movement of the body and its energy.
Baduanjin used to be popular mainly among older Chinese folks, but young people are now also getting into it. No equipment is necessary and it requires very little space or, perhaps most importantly in our fast-paced lives, time. In fact, it’s perfect for office workers, as they often suffer from lower back pain caused by hours sitting in front of the computer.
The video of Pamela doing Baduanjin has become a hit on Chinese social media, receiving millions of views. In addition to 9.68 million followers on YouTube, Pamela has established a presence on Chinese social media, including Bilibili, with more than 11.6 million followers. Showing her perfect figure year-round, Pamela has become an inspiration for many people worldwide, offering pathways to fat-burning, increased energy, and improved sleep quality.
Apparently, no one can resist the charm of Baduanjin. “I have been doing Baduanjin for about one month, which makes me sleep well and get stronger. I owe big thanks to Baduanjin since it gives me a much healthier lifestyle,” a young netizen commented below the video.
But not all people are suitable for practicing Baduanjin. Liu Xiaodan, an associate professor at Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, cautioned that people should always put safety first when doing Baduanjin, and patients who are extremely weak and fall easily should not take up this exercise.
8. What can we learn about Baduanjin from the text
A. It is 8 movements practised with a silk band.
B. It is created by Pamela for young people.
C. It helps office workers slow down their pace.
D. It helps people sleep better and get into shape.
9. How did the author show the benefits of practising Baduanjin
A. By using specific data. B. By explaining its definition.
C. By quoting online comment. D. By making comparisons.
10. Which of the following can best describe Pamela’s practising Baduanjin
A. Risky but rewarding. B. Thrilling but regretful.
C. Unexpected and strange. D. Eye-catching and inspiring.
11. What should be considered if one wants to take up Baduanjin
A. Physical condition. B. Social trend.
C. Pace of life. D. Work pattern.
D
Diplomacy (外交) is an art. It requires not only strategy, but also other aspects, including intuition, persuasion, and even tricks, human skills that have long been unreachable to even the most powerful artificial intelligence (AI) approaches. Now, an AI algorithm (算法) from a high-tech company has shown it can beat many humans in a game of diplomacy, which required both strategic planning and negotiations with other players. The work, researchers said, could point the way toward virtual exercise coaches and conflict mediators (调解员) .
AI has already beaten humans in some games of strategy. It is also proving powerful at natural-language processing, in which it can generate humanlike text and carry on conversations. In the game of diplomacy, seven players vied for control of Europe. On each turn, players issued orders regarding the movement of army and naval units, following discussion with other players, whom they could attack or support.
There are two technical innovations noted by Jonathan Gratch, a computer scientist at the University of Southern California who studies negotiation agents. First, the Al agent’s com-munication is grounded in multistep planning. Second. the Al agent keeps its remarks and game play within the range of human common practice.
To test its skill, the researchers had the Al agent play 40 online games against humans. It placed in the top 10% of players who’d played at least two games. “In a game that involves language and negotiation, that agents can reach human equal level is very exciting,” said Yu, a computer scientist at Columbia University.
According to Brown, a computer scientist at the company who co-authored the paper, the work could lead to practical applications in fields that now require a human touch. One specific example is that virtual personal assistants might help consumers negotiate for better prices on plane tickets. Gratch and Yu both see opportunities for agents that persuade people to make healthy choices or open up during therapy.
