All last week, I couldn’t stop thinking about the beach and talking about the beach. My beach talk was inspired by the weather we’d been having in New York, which varied from don’t-you-dare-leave-the-house cold to your-hair-will-never-forgive-you rain. Through it all, I couldn’t help but dream of summers at Coney Island. Weekends spent relaxing in a beach chair, enjoying the sunshine and thinking about the next ice cream.
Those days are a long way off. But on Wednesday of last week, when the weather finally cleared, I jumped at the chance to walk outside umbrella-free. I wasn’t really sure where to walk during my hour-long lunch break until the South Street Seaport popped into my mind. It’s just a short walk from the office and, although it was cold out, it seemed to call out to me.
The more I walked, the better the weather got. By the time I made it to the seaport, the sun was really shining. I spotted a way by the water that appeared to lead to a sun deck (甲板). I walked up it and was floored by the view that greeted me. The Brooklyn Bridge was in all its glory. There were Adirondack chairs strategically positioned all over the deck to take in the postcard-like scene.
I made myself comfortable in one of the chairs, then stretched out my legs and closed my eyes for a minute, bathing in golden sunlight. That’s when I realized I was doing exactly what I would’ve done if I were at the beach. Except, of course, I was wearing a big winter coat and there was no ice cream in sight! Still, the thought filled me with happiness. You never know what wonder awaits you after a storm. Like a beach day in the middle of winter in the middle of a work day in the middle of New York City.
24.What made the author think about the beach
A.The relaxing weekend. B.The delicious ice cream.
C.The unbearable weather. D.The summer at Coney Island.
25.Where did the author decide to walk during the lunch break
A.To the fascinating beach. B.To the nearby park.
C.To the Brooklyn Bridge. D.To the South Street Seaport.
26.What does the author mean by saying “You never know what wonder awaits you after a storm”
A.Good things always come prior to bad things.
B.The weather in New York is unpredictable.
C.The seaport is a great place to go after a storm.
D.A small escape can bring a refreshing change.
27.What is the text mainly about
A.An inspirational winter story. B.An iconic attraction in New York.
C.A clear and warm day in cold winter. D.A travel guide to South Street Seaport.

The Summer Olympics in Paris is always impressive, but 2024 promised something extraordinary even before the games began— the seats you are sitting on! Made from locally recycled plastic, these seats are sustainability(可持续性) champions in their own right.
The Paris 2024 Summer Olympics made history in terms of sustainability, as 11,000 stadium seats made entirely of recycled plastic are used during the water sports. The plastic used for the seats was collected from recycling bins in the Seine-Saint-Denis neighborhood, and 80% of the 100 metric tons needed for the seats came from this area. The collected plastic was cut and torn into small pieces, processed and turned into new material by a local recycling firm called Le Pavé.
After the base materials are produced into plastic seats with different colors, the seats have gone through numerous tests, including mechanical resistance, fire resistance, as well as UV resistance. The recycled plastic chairs proved to be strong and durable, with producers reporting no problems in the production process.
The use of recycled plastic seats is part of Paris and France’s commitment to sustainability, with the goal of reducing downstream emissions(排放) by 50% compared to the 2012 and 2016 games. Additionally, the city is working to fight against environment worsening by making the Seine River swimmable for the first time in decades, in an effort to host the triathlon(铁人三项) there.
The recycled plastic seats not only promote sustainability but also raise awareness about waste recycling, with children being encouraged to throw their plastic bottles into appropriate bins. The Paris Olympics’ use of recycled plastic seats demonstrates the potential of a circular economy, where waste is repurposed and reused, ultimately reducing the amount of plastic waste in landfills and oceans.
28.What is special about the seats for the 2024 Paris Olympics
A.They won the championship in a competition.
B.They are made with a mix of plastic types.
C.They are made from recyclable plastic.
D.They are produced from local raw materials.
29.Where was the plastic for the seats mostly collected from
A.Recycling firms. B.Local recycling bins.
C.All over France. D.International suppliers.
30.What does the numerous tests mainly show in paragraph 3
A.The advantages of the seats. B.The production process of the seats.
C.The difficulty of producing the seats. D.The significance of the plastic seats.
31.What is one of the goals of using recycled plastic seats at the Paris Olympics
A.To create continued economic growth. B.To reduce energy consumption.
C.To attract more attention to the games. D.To contribute to environmental efforts.
D
Waves of innovation often create giants. Artificial intelligence (AI) may well be the next big technological shift, transforming the way of businesses. Firms selling the software and hardware that support AI will gain a lot of profit. But none is better positioned than Nvidia, an American firm that makes specialist Al chips. Its market value briefly passed $1,000 billion this week. Will Nvidia always be a tech-giant in this field
The hype(炒作) around AI makes the question hard to answer. Excitement about Nvidia began to mount in November, after the release of ChatGPT, an AI-powered chatbot. Since then many kinds of firms have launched AI products.
Nvidia is in an enviable(令人羡慕的) position. Its core business is designing high-performance chips. At first it sold these to video-game lovers. The chips were also highly efficient at training AI models, and a new, booming market emerged.
Nvidia also had the forethought to invest in two areas that helped strengthen its dominance(支配地位). One is advanced networking. Because training AI models requires vast amounts of processing power, many chips— sometimes thousands— are used at the same time. These chips exchange data along a high-performance, AI-tailored network.
Nvidia’s other strength is its software. CUDA, its AI platform, is popular with programmers and runs only on the company’s chips. For instance, by giving free access to its chips and software to some AI researchers, the firm focused on encouraging developers to use its software long before its competitors set out to woo them.
Despite all these advantages, however, Nvidia’s lasting dominance is not assured. New companies and big chipmakers want a share of Nvidia’s network and chip businesses. The biggest challenge, though, may come from Nvidia’s own customers. The cloud-computing arms of both Amazon and Alphabet are designing their own AI-tailored chips. Both have the potential to become fearsome competitors.
32.Which of the following makes Nvidia enviable according to the passage
A.The hype around artificial intelligence. B.The release of ChatGPT.
C.The availability of its chips. D.The high performance of its chips.
33.What does the underlined word “woo” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A.Hunt for. B.Attend to. C.Approve of. D.Guard against.
34.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A.Nvidia will lose its dominance definitely. B.Nvidia should further improve its chips.
C.Alphabet has weakened Nvidia’s market. D.Amazon will defeat Nvidia soon.
35.What does the author think of Nvidia’s dominance in the future
A.Unchallengeable. B.Uncertain.
C.Predictable. D.Assured.

How to Have an Awesome (很好的) Work Career
I was reflecting on my work career this morning and came to the realization that my job is “awesome”. I enjoy almost every part of what I do for a living. So, I think I understand the elements that make up an “awesome work career”.
Meaning. 36 There is a purpose to your work, and you have to find that higher purpose. Even ordinary jobs can be viewed as having meaning. If you can’t find the meaning in your current job, it may be time to look for a new career.
Accomplishment. Choose a career where you can accomplish things, take pride in those accomplishments, and celebrate them. 37 The pride comes from readers and students who comment favorably on my accomplishments.
Positive Relationships. Nothing can make a career more awesome than working with terrific people, and building strong and rewarding relationships with them. 38 I get to meet with wonderful clients(客户) in my consulting(咨询) work, and I have some of the best research cooperators. I try to avoid the bad relationships — those that can make you question yourself and your career choice.
Balance. An awesome career is one that allows time for family, friends, and the ability to pursue non-work-related interests. I often talk to people who are unhappy because their jobs consume all of their time and energy. 39 I rarely hear any regrets from them.
40 To some extent it is true. But it is more likely that people have to plan, make tough strategic career decisions, and work hard to make their career awesome.
A.An awesome job is one that has meaning.
B.Can all the people have awesome careers
C.I think I understand the different meanings it has.
D.I take pride when I publish a paper or give a great lecture.
E.Some of them change to careers that allow greater balance.
F.I’m fortunate to have amazing, talented, and awesome students.
G.Does good fortune play a part in someone having an awesome career

Africa is a continent that everyone knows about, but not many fully understand. “If you haven’t been there 56 (your), you would never truly know what it’s like,” said 29-year-old Huang Siyuan.
From 2019 to 2022, Huang worked as a security 57 ( engine) at a sewage (污水) treatment plant in the Republic of Equatorial Guinea. The plant 58 Huang worked for is in the capital, Malabo.
“I heard that locals used to throw their waste right in front of their doorsteps. Since mosquitoes breed (蚊子繁殖) there, the incidence of malaria was 59 (extreme) high, ”Huang said. With the sewage treatment plant, not only had the city’s appearance been transformed , 60 the health condition of the local people also improved.
A survey done by the WHO showed that after the plant 61 (put) into use, the incidence rate of malaria dropped from 45% to 11%. Even if someone is infected with malaria, it’s not a significant issue because of the availability of artemisinin, a drug 62 (discover) by the Chinese scientist Tu Youyou.
63 (keep) everything on track, Huang and his colleagues conducted routine checkups of sewage wells around the city. Sometimes they would run into local residents who would thank them for 64 (improve) the local living environment. Some would even offer food and fruits, but they couldn’t accept. “We regard their gratitude 65 the most precious reward,” he said.

When One Thing Goes Wrong But Everything Else Goes So Right
We recently moved to a new town, and I was at the local grocery store with my baby, getting some things for the house. As we were heading back to the car with our purchases, I noticed another mother with her teenage son happily walking to their car, which was parked in the next aisle(过道). The next few events all happened over a very short stretch of time.
As I was loading my groceries into our car and tending to my little baby, I heard a sudden very loud screaming and crying. I had no idea what could have happened so quickly, but it appeared that the teenage boy had somehow become seriously injured. His mom was holding him in a desperate hug while he was sobbing, and when she took her hand away from him for a moment, I saw some blood.
The mother of the injured boy was clearly in shock and couldn’t do anything besides holding her son, who had stopped yelling but was still shaking and crying. I really wanted to be of help, but I was also trying to attend my little one who half stood from the grocery cart seat, so I couldn’t get there immediately.
Just then, another woman came striding(大步) over in a full-steam-ahead speed walk. She immediately jumped into action, demanding the facts from the mother. She was just direct and to the point in a way that was necessary to cut through the panic in an urgent situation.
They quickly decided to call 911, and the woman was all over it, telling the emergency responders everything they needed to know. She did everything exactly right that you’ re supposed to do in an emergency, giving clear directions to the ambulance driver. It was actually amazing to witness her confidence under pressure.

B篇 本文为记叙文,叙述作者冬日游玩的快乐故事。
24-27 CDDA

25.D细节理解题。根据第二段I wasn’t really sure where to walk during my hour-long lunch break until the South Street Seaport popped into my mind.可知作者去了the South Street Seaport。
26.D推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,作者意识到自己正在做着在海滩上会做的事情。这一点令人很高兴。因此感叹你永远不知道暴风雨过后会有什么奇迹出现。比如在纽约市中心繁忙的工作日里,在冬天的某个日子里,享受海滩般的休闲时光。因此“一次小小的逃离能让你得到令人耳目一新的改变”最符合题意。
27.A主旨大意题。全文讲述作者冬日里一次中午外出散步的感悟,感受到严寒的冬日仍然可以享受到夏日海滩般游玩的快乐。
C篇 本文是一篇说明文,介绍2024年巴黎夏季奥运会水上活动体育馆将使用回收塑料制成的座椅。
28-31 CBAD
28.C细节理解题。第二段首句叙述,2024年巴黎夏季奥运会在可持续性方面创造了历史,因为水上运动要用的11000个体育馆座椅完全是由回收塑料制成的。由此可知,2024年巴黎奥运会座椅的特殊性是用回收塑料制成。
29.B细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知,制造座椅的塑料是从塞纳·圣·但尼社区的回收箱中收集的,座椅所需的100公吨塑料中有80%来自该地区。
30.A推理判断题。该段主要讲述将基材制成不同颜色的塑料座椅后,座椅经过了无数次测试,包括耐机械性、耐火性以及抗紫外线性。事实证明,这种椅子坚固耐用,生产商报告生产过程中没有问题。由此可知,该段列举许多的测试,是为了表明这些座椅的优势。
31.D推理判断题。倒数第二段首句叙述,使用回收塑料制作座椅是巴黎和法国可持续发展承诺的一部分,目标是与2012年和2016年奥运会相比,将下游排放量减少50%。最后一段中叙述,巴黎奥运会使用回收塑料座椅证明了循环经济的潜力,即废物被重新利用,最终减少垃圾填埋场和海洋中的塑料垃圾量。由此推断,在巴黎奥运会上使用回收塑料座椅的目标之一是减少环境污染,为环保工作做出贡献。

34.B推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,Amazon和Alphabet旗下的云计算部门正在设计自己的AI定制芯片。这两家公司都有可能成为可怕的竞争对手。由此推断,Nvidia可能需要进一步升级自己的芯片才有可能巩固自己的地位。根据原文事实可知,A项过于绝对,C项是尚未发生的情况,D项也未可知。
35.B观点态度题。根据最后一段首句 “Despite all these advantages, however, Nvidia’s lasting dominance is not assured.”可知,尽管有这些优势, Nvidia的长期统治地位仍不确定。
七选五 本文是一篇说明文,介绍如何拥有出色的工作生涯。
36-40 ADFEG
36.A根据小标题Meaning可知,该段主要讲述 “awesome work career”的含义。该句进一步解释“出色的工作是有意义的工作”。
37.D该段首句Choose a career where you can accomplish things, take pride in those accomplishments, and celebrate them.为主题句,选择一个你可以成就的职业,为这些成就感到骄傲,并为之庆祝。接着叙述“骄傲”,当我发表论文或发表精彩演讲时,我会感到自豪,这种自豪感来自于对我的成就给予好评的读者和学生。
38.F该段主要讲述积极的关系。上句叙述,没有什么比与优秀的人一起工作,并与他们建立牢固而有回报的关系更能让职业生涯变得精彩。该句“我很幸运,有令人惊叹的,有才华的,很棒的学生。”承上启下,在我的咨询工作中,我会遇到一些很棒的客户,我有一些最好的研究合作者。所以F项符合上下文逻辑关系。
39.E上文叙述,一个出色的职业会给家人、朋友留有时间,并且让你有能力追求与工作无关的兴趣。我经常和那些因为工作消耗了他们所有的时间和精力而感到不快乐的人交谈。该句承接上文“他们中的一些人转而从事更平衡的职业。”引领下文,我很少从他们那里听到任何遗憾。
40.G下文叙述,在某种程度上,这是真的。但更有可能的是,人们必须计划,做出艰难的战略性职业决策,并努力工作,使自己的职业生涯变得出色。因此“好运对一个人的职业生涯有影响吗 ”与后文所述内容和逻辑关系一致。
完形填空 本文是一篇记叙文,介绍一则母爱的故事:作者儿时的涂鸦成为母亲的宝藏。
41-45 CBACD 46-50 ADBCD 51-55 ABCDA
41.C考查副词。上文叙述,作者小时候喜欢画画。由此可知,作者每天会至少几次自豪地向妈妈展示新画。

43.A考查动词短语。下文she would ask me to ______ which picture we would remove to make room for the ______ one.叙述,母亲会让作者选择要移除哪幅画来为新画腾出空间。由此可知,在冰箱上很快就没有地方了。 ran out of用尽,耗完。

Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m Li Hua, a student of Senior Two from Xinhua High School. I am writing to apply for the position as a volunteer in the students’ exchange program during the coming vacation.
I think I am qualified for the job. I’m kind, energetic and easy-going, which enables me to get along well with peers. In addition, I have a good command of English so that it’s easy for me to communicate with foreign students and help them learn more about Chinese culture. What’s more, my previous volunteer experience could be of great benefit to this job.
It will be highly appreciated if my application is taken into account. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

I asked if they needed any more help and the woman said no. I felt terrible for the mom and her son and really wished there were more I could do, but I knew that jumping in would only add to the confusion, and with my very active little kid, it would be difficult to be of much practical help. Just when I was sorry for not giving enough help, the ambulance was amazingly already arriving, less than five minutes after the woman made the call.
I started to direct the ambulance to ward the injured boy. I wished I had been able to help more actively, but I was so impressed by the way everyone responded, and the super-fast emergency responders had the situation covered. I truly hoped that boy made a quick recovery and that all turned out well for him and his family. I got the feeling we were going to like living in this town.

Across the UK, a group of volunteer motorcyclists are helping hospitals by delivering blood. Angela Brown is one of them. She is on call for 80 hours each month. At very short notice, she can be woken in the night and find herself riding a motorbike with a vital delivery for a hospital. But she’s not an employee of any hospital. She’s just a volunteer, one of the1,400 advanced qualified riders of the Association of Blood Bikers. Last year, the Association’s bikers responded to around35,000 rapid transport requests from 262 UK hospitals. Besides blood, the bikers also deliver surgical tools and medicine.
Brown first discovered blood biking when she was on a course at the institute of advanced motorists. Her trainer was a blood biker. Under his influence, Brown started volunteering as a rider. She later discovered that blood bikers once helped her own nephew, Peter. He received blood delivered by a rider on New Year’s Eve, 2015.Brown says being a blood biker is a way of helping the community and being on the bike at the same time.
