三、阅读单选
In my opinion, the generation gap(代沟) is a result of our “pride” and “prejudice” (偏见). Since I started junior high school, my parents and I have had different opinions. Both sides won’t yield. My mother always ends by telling me that, “A child knows nothing about this!”, and I often ask, “Are you still living in the 20th century?”
As we grow up, we have our own values and beliefs slowly. The fact is that we are growing up in two different centuries. So it is common for us to have developed values that are different from those of our parents.
But our parents always think we are still little kids. It seems that they don’t want to accept the fact that we are growing up. When we grow up, we feel a strong need to show ourselves, but our parents don’t want to listen to us. Instead, they think they are always right. Why are they unable to open their hearts and talk more with their children so that their children can feel loved and understood?
I think both sides must give up their pride and prejudice and build equality and trust. Only in this way will the generation gap be smaller.
23．What does the underlined word “yield” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．控制 B．放弃 C．让步 D．合作
24．Which of the following won’t cause generation gap?
A．Parents and children have different values and beliefs.
B．Parents and children try to stand in each other’s shoes.
C．Parents and children seldom have warm conversations.
D．Parents give advice without listening to their children.
25．The writer wrote this passage to help parents and teenagers .
A．give up their pride and prejudice B．build equality and trust
C．make the generation gap smaller D．open their hearts and talk more

There was once a little grey planet that was very sad. The people living there hadn’t looked after it, although they had all the inventions and spaceships you could ever need. They had polluted the whole countryside so much with rubbish that there were no plants or animals left.
One day, a little boy was walking on the planet, when he passed a cave and noticed a small red flower inside. The flower was very sick—almost dying—so the boy carefully dug up the flower, with roots, soil and everything.
Then, he started looking for a place where he could look after it. He searched all over the planet, but everywhere was so polluted that there was no place the flower could possibly live in. Then he looked up at the sky and noticed the moon. It seemed that maybe the plant could survive there.
So the little boy put on his astronaut suit, and climbed into a space ship. He put the little red flower in the back, and they went to the moon.
Far away from all that pollution—and with the boy visiting it every day to look after it—the flower started to grow. The flower was so well cared for that it had soon grew, giving birth to others, and these other flowers spread on to other flowers. Before long, the whole moon was completely covered with flowers.
When the flowers open, the moon looks red, like a warming light. People on the grey planet all felt because of their bad actions before after they knew the truth from the little boy. Many years later, the grey planet turned green and looked red just like the red moon every spring. People there were all proud of it.
26．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The little grey planet never had any animals or plants.
B．The little boy found the little flower outside the cave.
C．The little boy took flowers to the moon on a plane.

Have you ever wondered what animals are talking about? With the development of AI, we may be able to understand their languages!
In Professor Karen Bakker’s new book, The Sounds of Life: How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants, she talks about how AI is helping us to make an animal version of Google Translation.
All around the animal kingdom, there are sounds that we can hardly pickup and understand. Elephants for example talk with each other using infrasound(次声波)—far below our human hearing range(范围). Coral(珊瑚) in the ocean also sends sound waves to attract baby coral to safer areas to grow. This is surprising as coral doesn’t have any ears! Scientists have placed listening equipment into these environments to pick up the sounds humans cannot hear.
After the sounds are recorded, AI can study their meaning, according to the news website Vox. For example, Israeli researchers used AI to translate bats’15, 000 calls. They found that more than 60 percent were arguments about four things: food, sleep positions, invasion(入侵) of personal space, and unwanted advances(过分殷勤).
This technology can not only understand the animals but communicate back to them. For example, bees use dances to communicate. A research team in Germany, therefore, put the bee language AI system into a robot bee. They asked the robot to create a dance routine to tell the bees where the flowers were, Vox reported.
33．What can AI do for people in Karen Bakker’s opinion?
A．AI helps people do translations better.
B．AI helps animals receive human’s sound.
C．AI helps people better understand animals.
D．AI can help people develop Google Translation.
34．What do we know about the sounds made by animals?
A．Some of the sounds cannot be heard by humans.
B．Corals have ears that can hear all animal sounds.
C．They can help animals get used to their environments.
D．All communications among elephants are infrasound.
35．How did scientists tell bees where the flowers were?
A．By training other bees to lead them there.
B．By creating a certain sound with the AI system.
C．By asking a robot bee to teach them a new language.
D．By making a robot bee tell the bees about it through dances.
36．Which of the following can be the best tile for the text?
A．Recording sounds with AI B．Talking to animals with AI
C．Receiving infrasound with AI D．Learning the bee language

参考答案：
1．A
【详解】句意：——最近网上有什么新鲜事吗？——当然了。一款新的聊天机器人GPT在年轻网民中很受欢迎。
考查代词辨析。anything任何事，用于否定句或疑问句；something一些事，常用于肯定句；everything每件事；nothing没什么事。空格所在句是一个疑问句，询问是否有什么新鲜的事情发生，故选A。
2．C
【详解】句意：毫无疑问，如果你去常州，青果巷是值得一去的。
考查宾语从句和非谓语动词。在否定句中，doubt后面的宾语从句应用that引导，肯定句中，应用if/whether引导。结合No可知应用that引导；be worth doing sth“值得做某事”，故选C。
3．D
【详解】句意：AI肯定会成为未来生活的一个重要组成部分，但是它应当被用一种正确的方式使用。
考查情态动词。can可以；need需要；may可能；should应当。根据“be used in a proper way”可知，此处指的是AI技术应当被正确使用，should符合语境。故选D。
4．B
【详解】句意：土耳其地震后，许多志愿者走上街头，向灾民分发瓶装水和食物。
考查短语辨析。get out出去；hand out分发；put out熄灭；run out耗尽。根据“…bottled water and food to the victims”可知，向灾民分发瓶装水和食物。故选B。
5．D
【详解】句意：——支付宝很大程度上改变了人们的生活。——正是如此。不带现金环游世界是一件多么神奇的事情！
考查副词辨析。Completely完全地；Hardly几乎不；Probably可能；Exactly一点不错，正是如此。根据“How amazing it is to travel around the world without cash!”可知，此处是赞同对方的观点，Exactly符合语境。故选D。
6．D
【详解】句意：——快点！快点！我恐怕电影已经开始了一会了。——小心脚下！安全最重要。
考查现在完成时。根据“for a while.”可知，此处的谓语动词应用延续性动词，排除begin相关的BC选项；再根据“Watch your step!”可知，电影还在放映当中，因此此处应用现在完成时。故选D。
7．C
【详解】句意：——我们什么时候回常州？我真的不习惯这里的食物。——直到工作完成（才回去）。
考查时间状语从句。until引导的是时间状语从句，从句用一般现在时，所以A选项、D选项错误；根据题意“直到工作完成才回去”，not…until“直到……才”，在对话中，问句为主句，所以回答用“Not until+从句”。故选C。
8．C
【详解】句意：我很自豪我的父亲知道许多植物的历史和药用价值。
考查名词辨析。price价格；wealth财富；value价值；cost花费。medical value表示“药用价值”。故选C。
9．A
【详解】句意：——吴先生刚才说了什么？——哦，他问我们是否还有问题。
考查宾语从句。根据“he asked”可知，主句的时态是一般过去时，从句的时态也应是过去的某种时态，选项B和C都是一般现在时，所以排除选项B和C；主句的谓语是asked“问”，宾语从句的连接词不能是that，而应该是含有疑问的词，故排除选项D。故选A。
10．B
【详解】句意：——如果你想在这里逗留期间了解更多关于常州的信息，请让我带你参观一下。——好的，我会的。非常感谢。
考查情景交际。That’s all right.“没关系”；OK, I will.“好的，我会的”；I hope so.“我希望如此”；Why not?“为什么不呢”。根据“just ask me to show you around”可知，请让我带你参观一下，这是祈使句，肯定回答用“OK, I will”，即“好的，我会的”。故选B。

【详解】the/these products“这些产品”；be up to standard“达到标准”，根据题干可知动作已发生，应用一般过去时，主语是复数，be动词用were，是否定句，后加not；lose heart“灰心”，此处是否定句，应用助动词didn’t，后加动词原形。故填The/These products were not up to standard；didn’t lose heart。
57．例文
Dear Neil,
I’m glad to hear from you and learn about such a great novel. I prefer to read works of literature. These days I’m reading a book called The Little Orange Lamp. I like reading it because the articles in it are full of love and the language is simple. Speaking of famous Chinese writers, I’d like to recommend Bing Xin to you. She was born in 1900 and was given the name Xie Wanying. When she was a little girl, she fell in love with reading. Later, she began to publish articles with Bing Xin as her pen name. Bing Xin is well-known as a writer of children’s literature. To Young Readers is her another famous book. If you read it, you’ll lose yourself in its beauty.
I hope you’ll enjoy my recommendation, too.
Yours,
Daniel
