第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
A
Here, our selection of Britain’s strangest museums has something for everyone.
Glasgow Riverside Transport Museum
The museum houses steam engines, motorbikes, Glasgow buses and just about anything else that has a set of wheels, wrings or sails. One of the last tall ships in existence is moored (停泊) outside, and you can take a boat there from Govan. For those not in love with transport, there’s a copy of a 19th-century Glasgow street with traditional shops and an old subway station.
Entrance is free and for children of all ages.
The Natural History Museum, Hertfordshire
The Victorians were mad about collecting, and this is essentially the personal collection of just one home-educated boy, which began when he was 5 years old. But as a member of the Rothschild family, Walter took 40 years to do it. There’s just about every stuffed animal you could ever imagine, and quite a few you couldn’t: a polar bear; George, a mandrill (山魈) from London Zoo and a four-ton elephant seal.
Entrance is free.
The Pencil Museum1, Cumbria
It is a museum all about the history of the everyday pencil. There are free daily artists’ demonstrations and workshops, so you can enter from one end of the museum and go out with a drawing from another end. The lovely Lake District location adds to the experience and the wonderful shop is especially enjoyable for stationery (文具) lovers.
Entrance: adults £8, children £6.
The Time Machine Museum of Science Fiction, Hertfordshire
This is the result of 30 years of crazy collecting by Andy Glazzard. There are artworks from sci-fi classics, but most of the museum artworks center on Doctor Who.
Entrance: adults £4.25, children f3.25.
21. What can visitors see in Glasgow Riverside Transport Museum?
A. Stuffed animals. B. Various vehicles.
C. Old bus stations. D. Some modern shops.
22. How much would a couple with two children pay for admission to The Pencil Museum?
A. £14 B. £20 C. £28 D. £32
23. Where is this text probably taken from?
A. A news report. B. A science fiction.
C. A history textbook. D. A travel guidebook.
B
Bill Gates doesn’t pretend he lives in an egalitarian household. When it comes to parenting his three children, the billionaire says his wife Melinda has done more than her share of the work raising the kids. “My wife does 80%,” Gates told a crowd of Harvard students. He said he and his wife have been quite careful about the model they’ve used to raise their three children, who are now 15, 18, and 22 years old.
They followed a 1970s “Love and Logic” parenting model. It’s a formula that was created by a group of three men. The core idea of their philosophy is centered on the idea of emotional control, mainly reducing emotional reactions like shouting or reprimanding (训斥) kids. Aside from controlling parent tempers, the model also stresses the importance of not providing rewards for kids, but instead showing unconditional love and admiring kids for who they are, not what they do (or don’t) achieve. “Many highly successful people struggled with grades as children,” co-founder of this model, Charles Fay wrote on his site. “What’s most important is that our children develop good character, curiosity, and problem-solving skills.”
Gates says the “Love and Logic” method is a far cry from the way he grew up, but he knew he wanted to do things differently with his own kids. It wasn’t the only way he set boundaries (界线) for his children. None of his kids owned a cell phone until they were 14 years old. The children also attended Catholic church regularly with their parents. And they will each get about $10 million of their parents fortune as inheritance (遗产), a mere small part of roughly $90 billion net worth. “We want to strike a balance where they have the freedom to do anything, but not a lot of money showered on them so they could go out and do nothing,” Gates once told TED．
24．What does the underlined word “egalitarian” in paragraph 1 mean?
A．Believing in wealth.
B．Having a lot of knowledge.
C．Believing in equality.
D．Having an interest in kids.

25．What do we know about “Love and Logic” parenting model?
A．It is not a good choice for Bill Gates.
B．It focuses on emotional control.
C．It stresses the importance of rewarding kids.
D．It was created by a group of three women.
26．Which of the following does Charles Fay agree with?
A．Shaping good character is more important than problem-solving skills.
B．Showing unconditional love is always the most effective way.
C．Many highly successful people had good grades as children.
D．Shouting at kids is not a wise choice for parents.
27．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Bill Gates is strict with his kids.
B．Bill Gates’ kids will get about 10 million.
C．Bill Gates doesn’t love his children.
D．Bill Gates’ kids hate “Love and Logic” method.

C
There’s a new AI bot: ChatGPT, and you’d better pay attention, even if you aren’t into artificial intelligence. The tool is an AI chatbot system that OpenAI released in November 2022 to show off and test what a very large, powerful AI system can achieve.
ChatGPT remembers the thread of your dialogue, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses. It derives its answers from huge volumes of information on the Internet. ChatGPT is built on top of the OpenAI GPT-3 family of large language models and is fine-tuned (a method of transfer learning) using both supervised and reinforcement learning（监督和强化学习）.
You can ask ChatGPT anything, like explaining physics, asking for birthday party ideas and getting programming（编程）help. Perhaps it’s not smart enough to replace all humans yet, but it can be creative, and its answers can sound downright authoritative. A few days after its launch, more than 1 million people were trying out ChatGPT. UBS analyst Lloyd Walmsley estimated in February 2023 that ChatGPT reached 100 million monthly users in January, accomplishing in 2 months what took TikTok about 9 months and Instagram two and a half years.
ChatGPT is free to use at the moment because it is still in its research phase. But when too many people hop onto the server（服务器）, it overloads and can’t process your request. It just means you should try visiting the site at a later time when fewer people are trying to access it. If you want to skip the wait and have reliable access, there is an option for you. As of Feb.1, 2023, OpenAI has a ChatGPT pro plan, ChatGPT Plus, which allows users to have general access even during peak times. This service does come at a cost of $20/month.
However, ChatGPT can not replace Google. ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence bot that provides solutions to your questions, but Google is a search engine in which you can search for as much information as possible. ChatGPT has limited knowledge due to its programming but Google has unlimited knowledge which is updated every day.
28. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about ChatGPT?
A. Its language model.
B. Its working theory.
C. Its design inspiration.
D. Its development process.
29. Why does the author list figures in paragraph 3?
A. To show the popularity of ChatGPT.
B. To stress the high cost of inventing ChatGPT.
C. To present the creativity of artificial intelligence.
D. To prove the necessity of developing tools for chatting online.
30. What is ChatGPT Plus intended for?
A. Guiding users to experience free services.
B. Allowing net surfers to skip advertisements.
C. Helping researchers detect the failure of the system.
D. Offering consumers priority access during peak hours.
31. What is a limitation of ChatGPT compared with Google?
A. It operates based on limited data.
B. It takes more time to search for solutions.
C. It can only update information at a fixed time.
D. It may provide replies unrelated to the questions.





D
Sugar-free cookies, reduced-sugar cereal, sugar-free candy, diet soda... are these better for you? Since sugar became a taboo (禁忌) in the nutrition and wellness world, sugar-free food items and drinks have acted as substitutes for once beloved sweet drinks and snacks. Claiming to be ZERO sugar means it is healthier,better for diabetics,and helps you slim down... Right?
Wrong. Sugar-free isn’t better for you. In fact, sugar-free is worse.
Sugar-free means that artificial sweeteners (甜味剂) are used instead of real sugar. The problem:these sweeteners do not come from natural sources and they can cause you more harm than good.
Let’s get into what these artificial sweeteners actually are. Sugar-free sugar sounds wrong and that’s because there is no such thing as sugar-free sugar. Some of these sugar-free alternatives still contain sugar and the ones that don’t contain sugar have chemicals your body often does not know how to process.
Most artificial sweeteners are a lot sweeter than sugar,so only a tiny amount is needed. That’s why they can market sugar-free alternatives as “low-calorie” or “no-calorie”. It also means that you get no nutritional value from consuming them, which is why many sugar-free substitutes are classified as “non-nutritive”. These artificial sweeteners tend to hide under sneaky names. Actually, they are 200-600 times sweeter than sugar.
When you eat sweet stuff, your body continues to desire it and, even though your body cannot metabolize (代谢) these sugar-free alternatives, your brain does not know the difference. In turn, sugar-free alternatives connect to weight gain and type 2 diabetes (糖尿病).
Artificial sweeteners also damage your gut’s ability to break down sugar,which impacts everything you eat. In other words, your body doesn’t know how to handle artificial sweeteners because they have nothing real to process.
A good rule of thumb: stay away from artificial sweeteners and look for non-sugar, natural sweeteners like Stevia or date sugar. In the war against artificial sweeteners and real sugar, both lose. Satisfy your sweet tooth with natural sugars that come from fruits and stay away from products claiming to be sugar-free or diet!
32．What can be learned about sugar-free products?
A．They don’t taste sweet. B．They are more nutritious.
C．They contain artificial sweeteners. D．They contain natural sweeteners.
33．Why are sugar-free alternatives described as “low-calorie” or “no-calorie”?
A．They won’t lead to weight gain. B．They are greener and healthier.
C．They are much to everyone’s taste. D．Small quantities of artificial sweeteners are used.
34．What do we know about artificial sweeteners?
A．They present a bigger health risk. B．They can be easily broken down.
C．They are as sweet as sugar. D．They improve our ability to metabolize.
35．What is the author’s final conclusion?
A．Real sugar is a better choice. B．Stay away from sugary products.
C．Sugar-free products are healthier. D．Choose sugar from natural sources.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Helping Your Teen Understand the Value of Money
It seems that there are more things for teens to spend money on than ever. 36 If you aren’t made of money, it’s hard to give your kids everything they want. That’s why it’s important to help them understand the value of money.
Start teaching your children about money early. Starting around age 10, give them a few dollars every week for them to spend however they want. Make the pocket money dependent on doing housework. 37 Don’t set limits on what they can spend it on, and don’t continually buy them things they want. They’ll soon learn that if they spend all their money as soon as they get it, they won’t be able to afford more expensive things they want.
You should also start early introducing your children to budgets and how much things cost. 38 Soon they’ll realize how much some things really cost.
As your child gets older, about 13 or 14, increase their pocket money as you increase their responsibility. Once they’re more responsible, give them a budget for something bigger like clothes and make them stick to it.
Eventually, your child will probably get a job. Take this opportunity to teach them about savings. 39 Let them use the rest as mad money to spend however they want. If you’re worried about what they’re buying, open them a checking account you can monitor.
Teaching your child the value of money will not happen overnight. 40 Remember that they will probably mess up along the way, but mistakes are how they learn.

A．It takes many small steps.
B．But let them choose what they want to do.
C．You should refuse them wisely if they ask you for money frequently.
D．Have them go to the store with you or watch you pay the bills.
E．There are expensive clothes, video games, phones and more.
F．Knowing how to save money can help children find a good job in the future.
G．Have them put some into a savings account to use for college or other pursuits.

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。
When the last customer left KFC, it was already 10:30 pm. Adam, an 18-year-old college student, dragged himself home. He had been working at KFC for over a month that summer vacation.
Entering his room, Adam found his younger brother Bill sitting on the edge of his bed with an uneasy expression on his face.
“Sorry, Adam. I … I did something wrong,” Bill sprang up and said nervously.
“What is it?”
“This afternoon I sneaked (溜) out for a ride on your motorcycle and accidentally hit our neighbor Osman Brook’s car. I was so scared and I … I hurried home in panic.”
“Is the car seriously damaged?”
“The left headlight got broken.”
“It’s truly your fault and it’s really dangerous to ride a motorcycle at your age. Besides, it’s illegal,” Adam raised his voice, obviously annoyed. Hearing this, Bill lowered his head and bit his lips hard.
“Anyway, it’s no use crying over spilt milk. I will deal with it tomorrow. Now you go to bed and have a good sleep.”
The next morning when Adam got up, Bill was still sleeping soundly. Adam was more determined about what he ought to do as an elder brother.
After breakfast, Adam took out all the money he had earned and went out of the house with it. In the yard he saw his motorcycle, on whose side the scratches (划痕) were clearly visible. Adam shook his head and sighed slightly. Then he squared his shoulders and quickened his pace to Osman’s house.
When he arrived, he was welcomed by Osman’s wife Mary, who told him that Osman had gone to the garage to have his car repaired.
“I have something important to tell him. Can I wait until he comes back?” Adam requested eagerly.
“Of course. He should be home soon,” Mary invited Adam in, served him a cup of coffee and began chatting with him.
After half an hour, the door opened and in came Osman. Having said hello to each other, Osman and Adam both sat down on the sofa.
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。
Adam cleared his throat and began to speak.

A 篇【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据Glasgow Riverside Transport Museum部分中“The museum houses steam engines, motorbikes, Glasgow buses and just about anything else that has a set of wheels, wings or sails. (博物馆里有蒸汽机、摩托车、格拉斯哥公共汽车和其他任何有轮子、翅膀或帆的东西)”可知，游客在Glasgow Riverside交通博物馆可以看到各式各样的交通工具。故选B。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据The Pencil Museum1, Cumbria部分中“Entrance: adults £8, children £6. (门票：成人8英镑，儿童6英镑)”可知，一对带着两个孩子的夫妇要付：8×2+6×2=28英镑。故选C。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。文章介绍了英国四个最奇怪的博物馆的相关信息，所以文章很可能出自一本旅游指南。故选D。

B 篇【答案】24．C 25．B 26．D 27．A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了比尔·盖茨是如何教育孩子的。
24．词句猜测题。根据划线词后的“When it comes to parenting his three children, the billionaire says his wife Melinda has done more than her share of the work raising the kids. ”（谈到养育他的三个孩子，这位亿万富翁说，他的妻子梅林达在抚养孩子方面做得比她应该做的那部分还要多）可知，在抚养孩子方面，盖茨和妻子是不平等的，因此此处是说比尔·盖茨并没有假装他生活在一个平等主义家庭，由此可知划线词词义为“平等主义、信奉平等”，故选C。
25．细节理解题。根据第二段“They followed a 1970s “Love and Logic” parenting model. It’s a formula that was created by a group of three men. The core idea of their philosophy is centered on the idea of emotional control, mainly reducing emotional reactions like shouting or reprimanding kids.”（他们遵循20世纪70年代的“爱与逻辑”育儿模式。这是一个由三个人组成的小组创造的公式。他们哲学的核心思想是情绪控制，主要是减少情绪反应，如冲孩子大喊或斥责孩子）可知，“爱与逻辑”育儿模式注重情绪控制，故选B。
26．推理判断题。根据第二段“They followed a 1970s “Love and Logic” parenting model. It’s a formula that was created by a group of three men. The core idea of their philosophy is centered on the idea of emotional control, mainly reducing emotional reactions like shouting or reprimanding kids.”（他们遵循20世纪70年代的“爱与逻辑”育儿模式。这是一个由三个人组成的小组创造的公式。他们哲学的核心思想是情绪控制，主要是减少情绪反应，如冲孩子大喊或斥责孩子）以及“co-founder of this model, Charles Fay”（这一模式的联合创始人查尔斯·费伊）可知，查尔斯·费伊是“爱与逻辑”育儿模式的创始人之一，而这一模式的核心思想就是情绪控制，主要是减少情绪反应，如冲孩子大喊或斥责孩子，因此查尔斯·费伊会同意“对父母来说，对孩子大喊大叫不是明智的选择”这一说法，故选D。
27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“None of his kids owned a cell phone until they were 14 years old. The children also attended Catholic church regularly with their parents. ”（他的孩子直到14岁才拥有手机。孩子们还定期与父母一起参加天主教会）可知，比尔·盖茨对他的孩子要求很严格，故选A。

D篇 【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。如今市场上充斥着各种“无糖食品”和“无糖饮料”，它们对我们的健康究竟有着怎样的影响呢？
32．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Sugar-free means that artificial sweeteners (甜味剂) are used instead of real sugar.(无糖是指使用人工甜味剂代替真正的糖)”可知，所谓的“无糖产品”，其实是用人工甜味剂来代替真正的糖。故选C。
33．细节理解题。根据第五段中“Most artificial sweeteners are a lot sweeter than sugar,so only a tiny amount is needed. That’s why they can market sugar-free alternatives as‘low-calorie’or‘no-calorie’.(大多数人造甜味剂比糖甜得多，所以只需要少量。这就是为什么他们可以以‘低卡路里’或‘无卡路里’来推销无糖替代品)”可知，由于人工甜味剂甜度非常高，所以其用量非常小，因此商家将其“无糖产品”标榜为“低卡路里”或“零卡路里”。故选D。
34．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“In turn, sugar-free alternatives connect to weight gain and type 2 diabetes (糖尿病).(反过来，无糖替代品会导致体重增加和2型糖尿病)”以及倒数第二段中“Artificial sweeteners also damage your gut’s ability to break down sugar, which impacts everything you eat.(人工甜味剂还会损害肠道分解糖的能力，从而影响你吃的所有东西)”可知，这些所谓的“无糖产品”中含有的人工甜味剂会导致肥胖和糖尿病，还会损害肠道分解糖的能力，因此是更大的健康隐患。故选A。
35．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“A good rule of thumb: stay away from artificial sweeteners and look for non-sugar, natural sweeteners like Stevia or date sugar.(一个很好的经验法则：远离人造甜味剂，寻找无糖的天然甜味剂，如甜菊糖或枣糖)”可知，作者认为，无论糖还是人工甜味剂都不是好的选择，后者危害更大；喜欢甜食者最好的选择是摄取自然的糖分——比如来自水果的糖。故选D。

Dear Chris,
I heard that you want to save money secretly to buy a phone for gaming. I think it's not a good idea. It's important to prioritize your needs and make wise decisions. Spending all your money on gaming may not be beneficial in the long run.
Instead, I suggest considering other options. You could save money for something that can contribute to your personal development, such as educational materials or a hobby that can provide valuable skills. It's also important to find a balance between leisure activities and your responsibilities. I encourage you to explore different forms of entertainment that don't rely solely on technology. Engaging in outdoor activities, sports, or joining clubs can provide enjoyment and help you develop new skills. It's also a great way to expand your social circle.
I think if you can be a little bit smarter now, your will have a brighter future. Good luck.
Yours
Li Hua

Adam cleared his throat and began to speak. “Mr. Brook, I’m here to make an apology. Yesterday afternoon my brother Bill damaged your car and ran away in panic. We are awfully sorry for that.” “Oh, I see. But it’s no big deal,” Osman smiled. Then Adam drew out the money from his pocket and said to Osman with sincerity, “This is all the money I have. I wonder if it can pay for your loss.” However, Osman insisted that it was only minor damage and declined to take it.
Just then, there came a knock at the door. Osman went to answer it, only to find Bill standing outside. “Morning, Mr. Brook. I … I’ve come to say sorry for …” Bill stammered. But Osman laughed and let him in. The two brothers were both surprised and glad to see each other. Osman gave them a thumbs-up and praised them happily, “Good boys, I truly appreciate your honesty. Just forget about my car.” Whatever the boys said, Osman wouldn’t take the money. Finally, he accepted their suggestion that they make it up to him by doing some work in his garden.

Lana Carter has not worked in the film industry for many years, but she has already helped make several movies. She also worked with a few famous stars. Lana's job is to work the lights and the camera during filming. (18) Sometimes, she also helps decide where movies are made. She has worked on all kinds of movies and a variety of advertisements and music videos. She thinks making music videos is the easiest, because they don't have to look or feel real. (19) She says working on movies is more difficult because lighting mistakes can make the whole thing look wrong. Lana decided to work in the film industry when she was 16. Her friends and family laughed at the idea, but Lana took courses in Film and Video at university, which let her do as much filming as possible. She says, “You shouldn't worry about making mistakes at university. Have new ideas and have a try. (20) Don't just do the same thing as everyone else."
