My mther used t be addicted t the secnd-hand stre. She went every week t see if there were sme gd bargains. Of curse she fund deals, being a careful shpper that she is — fine china sets, silverware, kitchen appliances, t name a few. The prblem was that these deals came hme. They filled the huse, packing shelves and ccupying cunter space.
Several years ag, I said t my mther in frustratin, “It wuld be a terrible dream t have t deal with all this stuff if yu died tmrrw.” She lked at me fr a few minutes, saying nthing. Up until then, I suspect she’d assumed that everyne appreciated her junk-treasures as much as she did. What fllwed, mercifully, was a huse cleaning. Mm remved much f her stuff and ceased her weekly visits t that stre.
That cnversatin revealed t me the imprtance f discussing the lng-term intentins fr ne’s belngings. If I hadn’t said anything, I suspect it wuld have been decades befre my 50-smething-year-ld mther realized what a burden her stuff wuld be n the family smeday — and just think f all the additinal things she culd have accumulated in that time. It makes me shiver.
Later, I heard f “Swedish Death Cleaning”. The first time I heard the term, I thught it meant sme kind f hardcre Scandinavian huse-cleaning rutine, where yu clean yur hme frm tp t bttm t the pint f physical cllapse, as in “wrking yurself t the bne”. Well, I was wrng.
In Swedish, the wrd is “dstadning” and it refers t the act f slwly and steadily decluttering (清潔) as the years g by, ideally beginning in yur fifties and ging until the day yu kick the bucket. The ultimate purpse f death cleaning is t minimize the amunt f stuff, especially meaningless clutter, which yu leave behind fr thers t deal with.
As fr this decluttering philsphy with the name f “Swedish Death Cleaning”, I can’t agree mre. Wh can pssibly resist it?

【語篇解讀】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。文中主要講述了作者母親喜歡買便宜的二手貨的習(xí)慣,后來在作者的提醒下停止購買這些物品,由此作者又介紹了“瑞典式死亡清理”的一種整理哲學(xué)。
【4題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)首段內(nèi)容“My mther used t be addicted t the secnd-hand stre. She went every week t see if there were sme gd bargains. Of curse she fund deals, being a careful shpper that she is — fine china sets, silverware, kitchen appliances, t name a few.(我母親過去常常去二手商店。她每周都會去一次,看看是否有便宜貨。當(dāng)然,作為一位精明的購物者,她確實能找到不錯的交易——比如精美的瓷器餐具、銀質(zhì)餐具、廚房電器等等)”可知,母親經(jīng)常買一些便宜的二手物品,因此推斷她在生活中是崇尚節(jié)約的人。故選C。
【5題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中“Several years ag, I said t my mther in frustratin, “It wuld be a terrible dream t have t deal with all this stuff if yu died tmrrw.” She lked at me fr a few minutes, saying nthing. Up until then, I suspect she’d assumed that everyne appreciated her junk-treasures as much as she did.(幾年前,我沮喪地對母親說:“如果你明天就死了,要處理所有這些事情,那將是一個可怕的夢?!彼戳宋?guī)追昼?,什么也沒說。在那之前,我懷疑她認(rèn)為每個人都像她一樣欣賞她的垃圾寶貝)”可推知,母親在聽了作者說的話以后才意識到自己的行為沒有得到認(rèn)可,也就是說她最初對作者的反應(yīng)是“感到意外的”。故選D。
【6題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段內(nèi)容“In Swedish, the wrd is “dstadning” and it refers t the act f slwly and steadily decluttering as the years g by, ideally beginning in yur fifties and ging until the day yu kick the bucket. The ultimate purpse f death cleaning is t minimize the amunt f stuff, especially meaningless clutter, which yu leave behind fr thers t deal with.(在瑞典語中,這個詞是dstadning,指的是隨著時間的推移,慢慢地、穩(wěn)步地清理雜物的行為,最好從50多歲開始,直到你死的那一天。死亡清理的最終目的是盡量減少物品的數(shù)量,尤其是那些你留給別人處理的無意義的雜物)”可知,Swedish Death Cleaning在瑞典語中是dstadni, 即從50多歲開始緩慢而穩(wěn)定地整理的行為,一直持續(xù)到你死的那一天,其目的是為了盡量減少死后留給別人處理的東西。故選B。
【7題詳解】
推理判斷題。作者在文章前兩段介紹了母親購買二手物品的事情,再根據(jù)最后一段“As fr this decluttering philsphy with the name f “Swedish Death Cleaning”, I can’t agree mre. Wh can pssibly resist it?(至于這種名為“瑞典式死亡清理”的清理哲學(xué),我完全同意。誰能抗拒呢)”可知,后面提到了Swedish Death Cleaning以及對這種生活方式的認(rèn)同,由此推斷作者的目的是介紹一種生活方式。故選A。
C

But against the backgrund f climate change’s upsetting reality, Orr keeps hpe alive in the last six chapters. The sprts wrld can adapt t climate change t ensure that sprts survive. She sptlights the past and present activism f athletes wh are fighting fr sustainability. One uplifting example is Innes FitzGerald, wh refused t fly frm Britain t Australia fr the 2023 Wrld Athletics Champinships ut f cncern fr air travel’s carbn emissins.
Orr’s writing is authritative and cnversatinal, and while she smetimes slips int academic terms, her language is largely accessible even t readers with n scientific backgrund.

【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要探討了體育生態(tài)學(xué)家Madeleine Orr在她的書中的一些觀點以及對該書的評價。
【8題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“In her bk, Orr leads readers t learn abut all the ways climate change is affecting sprts arund the wrld, prviding a cnvincing case fr actin frm athletes, sprts leagues and fans alike. (在她的書中,Orr帶領(lǐng)讀者了解氣候變化影響世界各地體育運動的所有方式,為運動員、體育聯(lián)盟和球迷等采取行動提供了令人信服的理由)”可知,這本書主要討論了氣候變化對體育運動的影響。故選B項。
【9題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“While Orr supprts her argument with data and interviews with experts, it’s the persnal stries that are mst pwerful. (雖然Orr用數(shù)據(jù)和對專家的采訪來支持她的觀點,但個人故事才是最有力的)”可知,個人故事使Orr的觀點更有說服力。故選B項。
【10題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中“It’s refreshing t see Orr talk abut hw climate change is disprprtinately impacting natins that are least respnsible fr glbal greenhuse gas emissins, a pint that can get lst in Western reprting n the tpic. High temperatures are threatening Kenyan runners. (看到Orr談到氣候變化對全球溫室氣體排放最不需負(fù)責(zé)的國家的影響不成比例,令人耳目一新,這一點在西方的報道中可能會被忽略。高溫威脅著肯尼亞選手)”可知,此處先提到有些國家沒有造成全球溫室效應(yīng),卻受到嚴(yán)重影響,再舉出肯尼亞選手受到高溫威脅的例子。由此可知,肯尼亞屬于那些無辜的國家,這些跑步者被提及是為了說明氣候變化的無辜受害者。故選C項。
【11題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中“Orr’s writing is authritative and cnversatinal, and while she smetimes slips int academic terms, her language is largely accessible even t readers with n scientific backgrund. The bk is jam-packed with infrmatin and has smething fr sprts fans alike. (Orr的作品是權(quán)威的、對話式的,雖然她有時會使用學(xué)術(shù)術(shù)語,但即使沒有科學(xué)背景的讀者也能很好地理解她的語言。這本書信息豐富,適合體育迷)”可知,她的書信息豐富而又淺顯易懂。故選C項。

A new study published in the jurnal Science Advances finds that AI enhances creativity by bsting the nvelty f stry ideas as well as the “usefulness” f stries - their ability t engage the target audience and ptential fr publicatin. It finds that AI “prfessinalizes” stries, making them mre enjyable, mre likely t have plt twists, better written and less bring.
The researchers assigned the 300 study participants t three grups: ne grup was allwed n AI help, a secnd grup culd use ChatGPT t prvide a single three-sentence starting idea, and writers in the third grup culd chse frm up t five AI-generated ideas fr their inspiratin.
They then rganized 600 peple t judge hw gd the stries were, assessing them fr nvelty - whether the stries did smething new r unexpected - and “usefulness” - hw apprpriate they were fr the target audience, and whether the ideas culd be develped and ptentially published.
They fund that writers with the mst access t AI experienced the greatest gains t their creativity, their stries scring 9% higher fr nvelty cmpared with stries written withut AI. Writers wh used up t five AI-generated ideas als scred higher fr emtinal characteristics, prducing stries that were better written, mre enjyable, less bring and funnier.
The researchers evaluated the writers’ creativity using a Divergent Assciatin Task (DAT) and fund that mre creative writers - thse with the highest DAT scres - benefited least frm generative AI ideas. Cnversely, less creative writers saw a greater increase in creativity.
The researchers als calculated hw similar the stries were t each ther. They fund a 10.7% increase in similarity between writers whse stries used ne generative AI-idea, cmpared with the grup that didn’t use AI.
Anil Dshi, Assistant Prfessr at the UCL Schl f Management said, “While these results pint t an increase in individual creativity, there is a risk f lsing cllective nvelty. If the publishing industry were t embrace mre generative AI-inspired stries, ur findings suggest that the stries wuld becme less unique and mre similar t each ther.”
12. Which aspect f the AI-assisted stries were assessed in the study?
A. Universality and availability.B. Originality and practicality.
C. Creativity and specializatin.D. Similarity and integrity.
13. What might the underlined wrd “Cnversely” in paragraph 5 prbably mean?
A. Sure enugh.B. In cnclusin.C. On the cntrary.D. As a result.
14. What is Anil Dshi’s attitude twards AI-inspired stries?
A. Objective.B. Indifferent.C. Favrable.D. Ambiguus.
15. What can be a suitable title fr the passage?
A. AI Is Being Used t Create Nvel Stries
B. AI Is Becming a Threat t Human Writers
C. AI Can Help t Imprve Peple’s Writing Skills
D. AI Can Bst the Creativity f Stries but Pays a Price
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。研究發(fā)現(xiàn)利用人工智能寫作可以提高故事創(chuàng)意的新穎性和故事的“有用性”,但是人工智能輔助的故事被發(fā)現(xiàn)包含更多的相似之處,缺乏多樣性。
【12題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“They then rganized 600 peple t judge hw gd the stries were, assessing them fr nvelty - whether the stries did smething new r unexpected - and “usefulness” - hw apprpriate they were fr the target audience, and whether the ideas culd be develped and ptentially published. (然后,他們組織了600人來判斷這些故事有多好,評估它們的新穎性——這些故事是否做了新的或意想不到的事情——以及“有用性”——它們對目標(biāo)受眾有多合適,以及這些想法是否可以發(fā)展和發(fā)表)”可知,評估的是故事的原創(chuàng)性和實用性。故選B。
【13題詳解】
詞句猜測題。根據(jù)第五段“The researchers evaluated the writers’ creativity using a Divergent Assciatin Task (DAT) and fund that mre creative writers - thse with the highest DAT scres - benefited least frm generative AI ideas. (研究人員用發(fā)散聯(lián)想任務(wù)(DAT)來評估作家的創(chuàng)造力,發(fā)現(xiàn)那些更有創(chuàng)造力的作家——那些DAT得分最高的人——從生成式人工智能想法中受益最少。)”和劃線詞下文“l(fā)ess creative writers saw a greater increase in creativity. (創(chuàng)造力較低的作家的創(chuàng)造力則增加得更多。)”可知,兩者是對比關(guān)系,因此“Cnversely”意為“相反地”。故選C。
【14題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)末段Anil Dshi的話“Anil Dshi, Assistant Prfessr at the UCL Schl f Management said, “While these results pint t an increase in individual creativity, there is a risk f lsing cllective nvelty. If the publishing industry were t embrace mre generative AI-inspired stries, ur findings suggest that the stries wuld becme less unique and mre similar t each ther.” (倫敦大學(xué)學(xué)院管理學(xué)院的助理教授阿尼爾·多西說:“雖然這些結(jié)果表明個人創(chuàng)造力有所提高,但集體創(chuàng)造力也有喪失的風(fēng)險。如果出版業(yè)接受更多基于人工智能的衍生故事,我們的研究結(jié)果表明,這些故事將變得不那么獨特,而是更加相似。)”可知,Anil Dshi既提到了人工智能輔助生成故事的優(yōu)點:個人創(chuàng)造力有所提高,也提到了缺點:集體創(chuàng)造力存在喪失的風(fēng)險,因此他的評價是客觀的。故選A項。
【15題詳解】
主旨大意題。根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容及根據(jù)末段Anil Dshi的話“Anil Dshi, Assistant Prfessr at the UCL Schl f Management said, “While these results pint t an increase in individual creativity, there is a risk f lsing cllective nvelty. If the publishing industry were t embrace mre generative AI-inspired stries, ur findings suggest that the stries wuld becme less unique and mre similar t each ther.” (倫敦大學(xué)學(xué)院管理學(xué)院的助理教授阿尼爾·多西說:“雖然這些結(jié)果表明個人創(chuàng)造力有所提高,但集體創(chuàng)造力也有喪失的風(fēng)險。如果出版業(yè)接受更多基于人工智能的衍生故事,我們的研究結(jié)果表明,這些故事將變得不那么獨特,而是更加相似。)”可知,本文主要介紹了人工智能可以提高故事創(chuàng)意的新穎性,但同時也會使AI協(xié)助的寫作產(chǎn)生相似性,故判斷D選項“人工智能可以提高故事的創(chuàng)造力,但也要付出代價?!笨梢宰鳛槲恼聵?biāo)題。故選D項。

That’s because even pest species can be crucial parts f the garden ecsystem. ___18___ Instead f trying t remve particular pests, we shuld be thinking abut hw t cnfuse, distract, r redirect a particular species.
Anther cmmn mistake that peple make is thinking that rganic pest cntrl primarily means finding natural, rganic alternatives t the pesticides (農(nóng)藥) they may have previusly used.

【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文,主要討論了關(guān)于有機害蟲控制的常見誤解,并對這些誤解進(jìn)行了詳細(xì)的解釋和糾正。
【16題詳解】
前句“As a lng-term advcate fr rganic grwing, time and time again I cme acrss the same miscnceptins abut rganic pest (害蟲) cntrl and what it really invlves.(作為一名有機種植的長期倡導(dǎo)者,我一次又一次地遇到同樣的誤解,關(guān)于有機害蟲控制及其真正涉及的內(nèi)容。)”提到了人們對有機種植的認(rèn)知會存在的一些誤區(qū),空格處應(yīng)該指出這些錯誤想法會帶來的不利影響。推斷G選項“These misleading ideas can easily get in the way when we create gardens.(當(dāng)我們建造花園時,這些誤導(dǎo)的想法很容易阻礙我們。)”可以承接上文,說明這些誤導(dǎo)的想法會帶來的不利影響,其中misleading ideas和前面的miscnceptins是同義詞復(fù)現(xiàn),因此G選項承接上文,符合語境。故選G。
【17題詳解】
空格處是本段主旨句,根據(jù)下文“I am ften asked hw t kill a particular pest. Hwever, wiping ut particular pests shuld never be the gal f rganic pest cntrl, with the exceptin f a few nn-native species.(我經(jīng)常被問到如何殺死一種特定的害蟲。然而,消滅特定的害蟲永遠(yuǎn)不應(yīng)該是有機害蟲控制的目標(biāo),除了一些非本地物種。)”可知,本段介紹了消滅害蟲的問題,由此推斷A選項“We need t get rid f pests.(我們需要消滅害蟲。)”說明了我們需要消滅害蟲,概括了本段內(nèi)容,可作為主旨句,故選A。
【18題詳解】
本段提到消滅害蟲的問題,后句“Instead f trying t remve particular pests, we shuld be thinking abut hw t cnfuse, distract, r redirect a particular species.(我們不應(yīng)該試圖消滅特定的害蟲,而應(yīng)該考慮如何迷惑、分散注意力或重新引導(dǎo)特定物種。)”說明我們不應(yīng)該試圖消滅特定的害蟲,E選項“Killing them des harm t the bidiversity and health f the ecsystem.(殺死它們會損害生物多樣性和生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的健康。)”說明了殺死害蟲會帶來的不好的結(jié)果,其中killing和remve屬于同義詞復(fù)現(xiàn),因此E選項引起下文,符合語境。故選E。
【19題詳解】
空前“Organic pesticides are indeed free frm certain chemicals. But it des nt necessarily mean that they are harmless.(有機農(nóng)藥確實不含某些化學(xué)物質(zhì)。但這并不一定意味著它們是無害的。)”提到有機農(nóng)藥不一定意味著是無害的,空格處應(yīng)該對有機農(nóng)藥進(jìn)行進(jìn)一步的描述,D選項“They can still d harm if used with abandn and withut thught.(如果不加思考地隨意使用,它們?nèi)匀粫斐蓚Α?”中的They指代前面的Organic pesticides,說明不加思考地隨意使用有機農(nóng)藥仍然會造成傷害,因此D選項承接上文,符合語境,故選D。
【20題詳解】
根據(jù)空后“In ther wrds, we shuld nt react t a pest prblem but rather find ways t reduce the chances f a serius pest prblem develping in the first place.(換句話說,我們不應(yīng)該對害蟲問題做出反應(yīng),而應(yīng)該首先找到減少嚴(yán)重害蟲問題發(fā)展的機會的方法。)”推斷,后句是對設(shè)空內(nèi)容的進(jìn)一步解釋,說明我們應(yīng)該首先找到減少嚴(yán)重害蟲問題發(fā)展的機會的方法,F(xiàn)選項“In fact, being prepared is always better than taking a negative apprach.(事實上,做好準(zhǔn)備總是比采取消極的方法要好。)”說明的是要做好準(zhǔn)備,和空后說的首先找到減少嚴(yán)重害蟲問題發(fā)展的機會的方法相一致,因此F選項引起下文,符合語境,故選F。
第三部分 語言運用 (共兩節(jié),滿分30分)

【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了位于湖南省的高崎嶺,在這個地方可以欣賞到獨特的丹霞地貌這種自然奇觀。
【36題詳解】
考查定語從句。句意:高崎嶺是中國湖南省的一處自然奇觀,這座山的巖石非常光滑,山脊非常窄,人們喜歡跨越它,盡管它看起來很危險。分析句子可知,此處為關(guān)系代詞that/ which引導(dǎo)的定語從句,先行詞ridge在從句中作賓語成分。故填that/ which。
【37題詳解】
考查固定搭配。句意:中國的丹霞公園以其獨特的地貌而聞名,尤其是色彩斑斕的“彩虹山”,但這里還有其他不太為人所知但同樣有趣的自然景觀。此處be hme t... 意為“……的所在地,家園”為固定搭配。故填t。
【38題詳解】
考查動詞時態(tài)。句意:這個自然奇觀最初是一個分水嶺,它的山脊被水沖刷成形狀,然后被雨和風(fēng)磨平。根據(jù)句意以及riginally可知,句子介紹的是最初的情況,所以用一般過去時。故填had。
【39題詳解】
考查冠詞。句意:如今,這些鋒利的脊常被比作巨大的刀刃或沉睡龍的脊骨。根據(jù)句意以及空后sleeping dragn為單數(shù)名詞可知,此處為表示泛指“一條沉睡的巨龍”,結(jié)合sleeping為首音節(jié)輔音單詞,所以為不定冠詞a的填入。故填a。
【40題詳解】
考查時態(tài)和語態(tài)。句意:高崎嶺可以欣賞到丹霞公園的壯麗景色,但有些山脊的穿越被認(rèn)為是危險的,因為沒有柵欄或電纜來阻止冒險者從平滑的山坡上滑下。此處為謂語動詞的填入,句子陳述的是一般事實,且主語sme sectins為復(fù)數(shù)名詞和cnsider為被動關(guān)系,所以為一般現(xiàn)在時的被動語態(tài)結(jié)構(gòu)。故填are cnsidered。
【41題詳解】
考查名詞復(fù)數(shù)。句意:高崎嶺可以欣賞到丹霞公園的壯麗景色,但有些山脊的穿越被認(rèn)為是危險的,因為沒有柵欄或電纜來阻止冒險者從平滑的山坡上滑下。adventurer這里表示“冒險者”為可數(shù)名詞,結(jié)合句意可知,此處冒險者不止一個,所以為名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式。故填adventurers。
【42題詳解】
考查動詞不定式。句意:盡管如此,許多人還是選擇冒險,因為據(jù)說這能帶來好運。此處chse t d sth“選擇做某事”為固定搭配,所以此處為動詞不定式形式。故填t take。
【43題詳解】
考查非謂語動詞。句意:想象一下,你走在這條距離地面數(shù)百米的狹窄小路上,沒有任何東西可以防止你滑下來,然后開始下雨。此處為with的復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)作狀語,其中的動詞應(yīng)為非謂語形式,keep和賓語nthing為主動關(guān)系,所以為現(xiàn)在分詞形式。故填keeping。
【44題詳解】
考查形容詞。句意:這是一個現(xiàn)實生活中的可怕的夢,對吧?修飾名詞dream應(yīng)該用形容詞frightening作定語,表示“嚇人的”。故填frightening。
【45題詳解】
考查代詞。句意為:可以肯定地說,帶上一些好的登山鞋是值得的。分析句子可知,此處為代詞it作形式主語,真正的主語為動詞不定式短語t bring sme gd climbing ftwear。故填it。

47. 閱讀下面材料,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段,使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
I, tgether with my neighbr, arrived in Mali, West Africa, t visit her child, Mary, wh was vlunteering there. That was a pr area and peple lived in mud huts withut mdern cnveniences. Hwever, the villagers appeared cntent. I had expected we wuld spend ur time helping the pr villagers — we brught many sccer balls, pens, and inexpensive watches — believing that smehw we culd imprve the villagers’ lives. Instead, they were teaching us that having less meant less t wrry abut and mre time and energy fr each ther. These wnderful peple f a different faith taught me an imprtant lessn. And I felt hnred and appreciated living here — the ppsite f what I’d felt nine mnths earlier when I’d felt pressured t resign frm my jb.
Fr twelve years I’d wrked at the hspital. One day they tld me I was n lnger needed. I understd that it was a cst-cutting mve t replace me with smene with less experience and a lwer salary. But my understanding didn’t remve the pain f feeling useless.
When I was sad and wrried abut my future, a fellw health educatr at anther hspital said t me, “I’ve just learned the mst helpful tl,” she said. “N matter what the situatin is, there is an ppsite, a benefit. Our typical respnse is t fcus n the lsses f jbs, marriage, hme, r even health. Instead, the speaker tld us t cncentrate n finding what we gained with ur lss.”
At first, I resisted her advice and didn’t care abut “ppsites”. I frgt my dream t travel arund the wrld in a trailer(房車)and frgt everything I wished t d when I was busy. I nly wanted my jb back. I missed my ffice, my cwrkers, the rutine. I missed the meaningful challenges f rganizing health educatin classes fr sick peple. But as time passed, I grew tired f my srrw and lneliness. Maybe I shuld try my friend’s advice and seek sme ppsites.
注意:
(1) 續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右;
(2) 請按如下格式在答題紙的相應(yīng)位置作答。
The ppsite f lneliness wuld be friendship, s I called a kind-hearted neighbr.

The ppsite f lneliness wuld be friendship, s I called a kind-hearted neighbr. I decided t develp a friendship with her. I asked if she wuld like t take an exercise class with me.
