(2024·北京房山·一模)The beginning of the Year of the Dragon has foreshadowed a
“Song of Ice and Fire” with the emergence of Sora, a text-to-video AI model. Videos generated by
Sora display strong consistency when it comes to characters and backgrounds, and support
continuous shots of up to 60 seconds, including highly detailed settings and multiple camera
angles. 1
However, film insiders noted that currently, AI-generated 60-second videos cannot support
the creation of a full-length movie, and the idea that AI tools will “bomb” the film and television
industry is so far unfounded. Meanwhile, experts say not to worry excessively, as the integration
of AI will help optimize certain occupations, attract more innovative talents and bring new
possibilities to the film and television industry. 2
From the age of film stock to the digital age, from practical effects to digital effects, from 2D
to 3D, Sora, like any technological revolution in the century-long history of film, will improve
production efficiency, update production and may even create new genres and trends in
filmmaking. 3 Students learning film production can view Sora as a helpful assistant to
unleash their sci-fi imagination.
Facing the panic signals that AI tools will threaten the global film industry, film insiders
argued that the fundamental DNA of film is art and that human creativity cannot be replaced. 4
Many directors, screenwriters, and actors achieve great works by continuously integrating
personal emotions and life experiences. This kind of individual creativity cannot be imitated by
machines like Sora.
5 However, just as the invention of printing did not replace literature or the invention
of photography did not replace painting, Sora and its subsequent updates and upgrades will not
replace film because the core of these art forms is creativity, which is a unique aspect of human
thought.
A.With OpenAI’s iteration speed, producing AI videos dozens of minutes long is not far off.
B.It is also likely to be incorporated into film and television education and training in the future.
C.Film and television are closely linked to technological advancements, which stimulate
creativity.
D.Sora will undoubtedly prompt changes in existing industrial production and may even replacesome jobs.
E.Sora is undoubtedly “more of an opportunity than a challenge” for the global film and
television industry.
F.Creativity and film production requires the integration of emotional experiences and
individual memories.
G.This implies that with just a text description, ordinary people using Sora may be able to
become “great directors”.

(2023·陕西西安·一模)Do you sometimes wish there was a quick and easy way to do your
homework? Well a new artificial intelligence technology has been released and people are
concerned that it could lead to students cheating on their work.
ChatGPT is an online service which can not only answer questions but also write realistic
school essays just like humans. 6 .
But what exactly is ChatGPT and how could it affect the future of homework? ChatGPT was
released late last year by company OpenAI, which was founded by Elon Musk. 7 ,
answering questions from the user. The online chatbot has been trained on lots of information and
data from the internet - it can have a human-like conversation answering questions, admitting
mistakes and rejecting any inappropriate questions.
Experts say it can be used to write essays, stories, poems and even solve computer coding.
8 , which OpenAI admit. Sometimes it writes answers which are incorrect or don’t make
sense, and it occasionally guesses what the user has asked it, rather than asking more follow-up
questions to understand the question better.What are people saying about it?
9 . Some think students might use it to cheat whereas others think they should use
the tool in the classroom to help children learn.
10 . They argue that, just like when the calculator or Google were created, people
were unsure at first, but if teachers introduce the technology and teach pupils the benefits but also
the downfalls that could help their learning.

(2023·浙江·模拟预测)ChatGPT is a powerful chatbot developed by OpenAI and
launched in November 2022. Built on top of OpenAI’s GPT-3 family of large language models, it
engages in human-like dialogue directed by prompting (提示). 11
ChatGPT has numerous potential uses. But from a scientific point of view, there is a need to
closely watch the development of technologies like ChatGPT before reaching a conclusion about
their impacts. 12 So we should not fear ChatGPT will take up humans’ jobs overnight.
ChatGPT’s performance is being improved. 13 However, it still has a long way to
go to completely imitate the human mind and language competence. When it comes to
professional writing, ChatGPT’s answers at times seem reasonable but actually incorrect or
meaningless. It might give some good answers to general questions, yet it is no substitute for
professional advice.14 It is a kind of groundbreaking research, but its potential risks have not been
thoroughly studied. It is still a new technology that we need to study, but should not over-rate (高
评). It’s even unwise to blindly commit huge amounts of money to further develop ChatGPT,
because it may not turn out to be successful and create bubbles in the high-tech market.
China has developed its own large-scale language models, such as Huawei’s Pangu NLP
models, Baidu’s ERNIE, Tencent’s HUNYUAN NLP models, and Alibaba’s AliceMind. 15
China needs more special models in specific fields, such as the modern Chinese language, ancient
Chinese language, minority languages, and dialects, to break the language barrier among people.
A.Technology progresses step by step.
B.It is important to view ChatGPT objectively.
C.ChatGPT is still a product with very limited application.
D.It is designed to respond in a natural, understandable way.
E.But these models need to focus more on deeper technologies.
F.It has made quite some progress in natural language processing.
G.ChatGPT can accurately decide which word comes next in a sentence.
【答案】11.D 12.A 13.F 14.B 15.E
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了由OpenAI开发的功能强大的聊天机器人

(2023·重庆·三模)As AI grows more sophisticated and widespread, the voices warming
against the potential dangers of artificial intelligence grow louder. “The development of artificial
intelligence could spell the end of the human race,” according to Stephen Hawking. 16
“AI scares the hell out of me,” Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk once said. Below we take a
closer look the possible dangers of artificial intelligence.
Job losses due to AI automationAI-powered job automation is a pressing concern as the technology is adopted in industries
like marketing, manufacturing and healthcare. Eighty-five million jobs are expected to be lost to
automation between 2020 and 2025. 17 And while it’s true that AI will create new jobs,
many employees who won’t have the skills could get left behind.
Social control through AI algorithms (算法)
TikTok runs on an AI algorithm that fill a user’s feed with content related to previous media
they’ve viewed on the platform. Criticism of the app targets this process and the algorithm’s
failure to filter out harmful and inaccurate content, raising doubts over Tik Tok, ability to protect
its users from dangerous and misleading media. 18 So it really leads to a situation
where you literally cannot believe your own eyes and ears.
19
Blue-collar workers have experienced wage declines as high as 70 percent because of
automation. On the other hand, white-collar workers have remained largely untouched. From this
sense, if the trend continues, the existing social and economic gaps between different races and
classes will be further widened. Weakening ethics and goodwill If mankind’s so-called
technological progress were to become an enemy of the common good, this would lead to a heavy
blow to modern civilization. The rapid rise of the conversational AI tool ChatGPT gives these
concerns more substance. Many users have applied the technology to get out of writing
assignments. 20
A.This fear has become a reality
B.Widening socioeconomic inequality
C.Financial crisis brought about by AI
D.No one knows what’s real and what’s not
E.It threatens academic integrity and creativity
F.The famous theoretical physicist isn’t alone with this thought
G.As AI robots become smarter, the same tasks will require fewer humans

could spell the end of the human race,” according to Stephen Hawking.(随着人工智能变得越来
越复杂和广泛,反对人工智能潜在危险的声音也越来越大。斯蒂芬·霍金说:“人工智能的
发展可能意味着人类的终结。”)”以及后文““AI scares the hell out of me,” Tesla and
SpaceX founder Elon Musk once said. Below we take a closer look the possible dangers of
artificial intelligence.(“人工智能把我吓坏了,”特斯拉和SpaceX的创始人埃隆·马斯克曾经
说过。下面我们来仔细看看人工智能可能带来的危险)”可知,后文提到了马斯克也有和霍

境,故选F。
17.根据上文“AI-powered job automation is a pressing concern as the technology is adopted in
industries like marketing, manufacturing and healthcare. Eighty-five million jobs are expected to
be lost to automation between 2020 and 2025.(随着人工智能技术在营销、制造和医疗保健等
行业的应用,人工智能驱动的工作自动化是一个迫切需要关注的问题。2020年至2025年
间,预计将有8500万个工作岗位被自动化取代)”可知,上文提到“有8500万个工作岗位
被自动化取代”,说明需要的人力变少了,故G选项“随着人工智能机器人变得更加智能,
同样的任务将需要更少的人力”符合语境,故选G。
18.根据上文“TikTok runs on an AI algorithm that fill a user’s feed with content related to

序的批评针对这一过程,以及该算法未能过滤掉有害和不准确的内容,这引发了对Tik Tok
保护其用户免受危险和误导性媒体影响的能力的质疑)”可知,本段提到AI算法无法为用户
过滤掉无害或不精准的内容,因此受到TikTok批判者的质疑。在此情况下,用户无法分辨
眼前信息的真假,因此也造成了用户无法相信所见所闻的情况。故D选项“没有人知道什
么是真的,什么是假的”符合语境,故选D。
19.根据后文“Blue-collar workers have experienced wage declines as high as 70 percent
because of automation. On the other hand, white-collar workers have remained largely untouched.
From this sense, if the trend continues, the existing social and economic gaps between different
races and classes will be further widened.(由于自动化,蓝领工人的工资下降幅度高达70%。另一方面,白领基本上没有受到影响。从这个意义上说,如果这种趋势继续下去,不同种
族和阶级之间现有的社会和经济差距将进一步扩大)”可知,本段的主要内容是在讲述AI带
来的日益扩大的社会经济不平等。故B选项“社会经济不平等加剧”符合语境,故选B。
20.根据上文“Many users have applied the technology to get out of writing assignments.(许多
用户使用这项技术来逃避写作作业)”可知,用AI摆脱写作任务,这会给学术诚信和创造性
带来威胁。故E选项“威胁学术诚信和创造力”符合语境,承接上文,故选E。
Part2人与自我
(2024·安徽·三模)Reading is an exercise for the mind. It is good for our vocabulary and
literacy skills, teaching us math or science concepts and helping us learn history. Apart from those,
reading has another benefit. Have you read a story and felt tears well up because of a character’s
suffering? If so, that is because you have empathy (共情) for the character. 21
Research shows that human brains react differently to stories and facts. 22 In
addition, your brain thinks you are in the story, which means you experience the characters’
thoughts as if they were real.
23 This skill, called emotional intelligence (EI), can make it easier to
communicate and connect with people. Research shows that building this intelligence can lead to
greater tolerance. One study found that people who read the Harry Potter novels, which tell stories
about humans fighting against the evil, were less likely to behave unfairly towards powerless
groups including refugees (难民).
This theory of EI has been put into practice in schools. After reading The Boy at the Back
of the Class, a story about a boy who is a refugee escaping from the war, students in St Michael’s
High School were inspired to do a 10-mile walk for the non-profit organization — Refugee
Action. 24
25 Not only are we more likely to engage in helpful behaviors when we feel
empathy for other people, but others are also more likely to help us when they experience
empathy. For society to develop, communicative and empathetic individuals really matter.
A.In a way, all this increases our ability to read well.
B.This permits people to limit their emotions that others are feeling.
C.Many more areas of your brain light up when you’re enjoying a story.
D.It also stimulated them to raise £1,000 for the homeless caused by war.
试卷第10页,共3页E.Reading encourages us to empathize with others, which could be beneficial.
F.Empathy helps you to read people’s emotions and work out the best way to respond.
G.It helps you see into other people’s hearts and can be learned through various stories.
【答案】21.G 22.C 23.F 24.D 25.E
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究表明阅读可以帮助培养同理心,这是有益的。
21.上文“Have you read a story and felt tears well up because of a character’s suffering? If so,
that is because you have empathy (共情) for the character. (你是否读过一个故事,因为一个人
物的痛苦而热泪盈眶?如果是这样,那是因为你对角色有共情。)”提到“共情”,结合诸
选项信息可知,G选项“它可以帮助你看到别人的心,可以通过不同的故事来学习。”契
合语境,该句就是对上文“empathy”进行说明和解释,“it”指代“empathy”,“stories”呼
应上文“story”。故选G。
22.根据本段首句“Research shows that human brains react differently to stories and facts. (研
究表明,人类大脑对故事和事实的反应是不同的。)”可知,本段主要谈论人的大脑会根据
不同的故事和事实产生不同的反应;C选项“当你在欣赏一个故事时,你的大脑会有更多
的区域被激活。”也是谈论当人阅读时大脑的反应,契合语境。故选C。
23.下文“This skill, called emotional intelligence (EI), can make it easier to communicate and
connect with people. (这种技能被称为情商,可以让你更容易与人沟通和联系。)”讲述情感
智力这项技能能够使沟通和与人建立联系更容易,F选项“同理心可以帮助你读懂别人的
情绪并想出最佳方式来回应。”契合语境,下文This skill指代F项中的Empathy。故选
F。
24.上文“After reading The Boy at the Back of the Class, a story about a boy who is a refugee
escaping from the war, students in St Michael’s High School were inspired to do a 10-mile walk
for the non-profit organization — Refugee Action. (在读完《教室后面的男孩》后,圣迈克尔
高中的学生们受到启发,为非营利组织‘难民行动’进行了10英里的步行活动。这本书讲
述了一个逃离战争的男孩的故事。)”进一步举例说在读了《教室后面的男孩》这本书后,
圣迈克尔高中的学生的反应,选项D“这也促使他们为因战争而无家可归的人筹集了1000
英镑。”也是在谈论反应:促使他们为因战乱而无家可归之人募集一千英镑,因而契合语
境。故选D。25.由本空所在位置可知,此处为段首句,总括全段信息,下文“Not only are we more
likely to engage in helpful behaviors when we feel empathy for other people, but others are also
more likely to help us when they experience empathy. For society to develop, communicative and
empathetic individuals really matter. (当我们对他人感同身受时,我们不仅更有可能做出有益
的行为,而且当他人感同身受时,他们也更有可能帮助我们。为了社会的发展,善于沟通
和善解人意的个人真的很重要。)”谈论当我们对他人感同身受时,我们不仅更有可能做出
有益的行为,而且当他人感同身受时,他们也更有可能帮助我们,是在讲述共情对人有益。
由此可知,选项E“阅读鼓励我们去同情他人,这是有益的。”契合语境。故选E。
(2024·辽宁·模拟预测)Tips For Staying Active Over the Holidays
The holiday season is here, which for most people, signals a departure from their typical
exercise regime(方式,管理制度). Being physically active on a consistent basis can be
challenging during this period especially as we travel to see relatives or host friends in our homes.
26 Exercise is also known to give you an energy boost and reduce stress levels. Considering
these, you can take following tips for making physical activities regular in your lifestyle, through
holidays and beyond.
27
This is the first rule of any sustainable exercise routine. If your workout feels like another
task on your to-do list, it’ll be difficult to stick with. Therefore, be creative in identifying physical
activities. Dance. Garden. Take a yoga class online. All of these count as physical activities, and
even small amounts add up.
Find breaks to move throughout the day.
28 Taking three 10-minute walks during the day —one in the morning, another
during your lunch and another after dinner —produces similar benefits to spending 30 minutes at
the gym. In other words, taking short movement breaks throughout your day makes for a more
active lifestyle and helps meet your goals.
Make it a priority.
Most of us are managing countless responsibilities every day, so it’s vital to consider
physical activities an important part of your day. 29 And, let others know when you’ll be
busy exercising and how they can help you find time to do so. Having the support from others is
an important element of success.
试卷第12页,共3页Be realistic.
Most are overly optimistic when first mapping out a workout plan. In fact, exercise isn’t
necessarily at maximal intensity to be effective. Besides, you don’t have to exercise before, during
and after work every day in order to hit your goals. 30
A.Find something you enjoy.
B.Participate in various physical activities.
C.Exercise doesn’t have to take place in a gym.
D.Of course, it is realistic to avoid being injured in sports.
E.Instead, just put more movement into your current daily life.
F.However hard it seems, staying active can help not just your waistline.
G.Put it on your schedule, just as you make an appointment with a doctor.
【答案】26.F 27.A 28.C 29.G 30.E
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如何在假期持续进行体育锻炼的几种方法。
26.根据上文“Being physically active on a consistent basis can be challenging during this
period especially as we travel to see relatives or host friends in our homes.”(在这段时间里,坚
持锻炼身体是很有挑战性的,尤其是当我们去拜访亲戚或在家里接待朋友的时候。)说明
在假期坚持锻炼很难。以及下文“Exercise is also known to give you an energy boost and
reduce stress levels.”(众所周知,锻炼能让你精力充沛,降低压力水平。)结合选项F项
However hard it seems, staying active can help not just your waistline.(无论多么困难,保持运
动不仅仅能帮助你控制腰围。)可知,起到上下文的承上启下作用,上下文语意连贯。故
选F项。
27.由该题为段落小标题可知,为总结该段内容。该段下文“This is the first rule of any
sustainable exercise routine. If your workout feels like another task on your to-do list, it’ll be
difficult to stick with. Therefore, be creative in identifying physical activities. Dance. Garden.
Take a yoga class online. All of these count as physical activities, and even small amounts add
up.”(这是任何可持续锻炼的第一条规则。如果你的锻炼感觉像是你待办事项清单上的另
一项任务,那就很难坚持下去了。因此,在确定体育活动时要有创造性。跳舞。花园。在
网上上瑜伽课。所有这些都算作体育活动,即使是少量的运动也要加起来。)可知,主要
讲的是找到你喜欢的体育锻炼。结合选项A项Find something you enjoy.(找一些你喜欢的事情。)意思一致,为总结该段内容。故选A项。
28.根据下文“Taking three 10-minute walks during the day —one in the morning, another
during your lunch and another after dinner —produces similar benefits to spending 30 minutes at
the gym.”(每天散步三次,每次10分钟——一次在早上,一次在午餐时间,一次在晚餐后
——产生的效果和在健身房锻炼30分钟相似。)由此可反推,不一定要在健身房锻炼才会
有一样的效果。结合选项C项Exercise doesn’t have to take place in a gym.(锻炼并不一定要

rely too heavily on factors that can be misleading. Instead, observe the individual’s ability to tell
the truth and to commit. 36
You can tell a lot about a person’s character by observing how he treats other people. 37
It may be difficult to determine how he treats different types of people if you only encounter him
in a single environment, such as the workplace. It is often possible, however, to get some idea of
his manner of interaction with different types of people through conversation with him.
Whether or not a person is honest says a lot about his character. The attitude a person has
试卷第16页,共3页about honesty can also indicate what type of person he is. 38 To some degree the types of
lies he may tell and his motives for doing so matter.
39 The word “commitment” often causes people to instantly think of close
relationships. Whether a person can respect the vows (誓约) and agreements is usually an
indication of character.
A person’s character is affected by his attitude. 40 Attitude can affect many aspects
of a person’s life, including how hard he works and his ability to be supportive of others.
When you are trying to assess someone’s character, remember that it consists of qualities
and habits that form his identity.
A.More importantly, it’s necessary to continue his inner struggle.
B.The level of commitment indicates the type of character he has.

Part3人与社会
(2024·吉林长春·模拟预测)If you search the internet these days, you’ll likely run across
some strange-looking, yet cheerful cartoon characters. These computer-generated people have
small heads and exaggerated bodies. 41 The happy figures are often moving or doing
something creative.
In 2017 Facebook paid a design team to develop a positive illustration system. 42
She worked to show human connection, motion, energy and joy in her drawings. She wanted to
portray that sense of joy people feel when they’re sharing things together. The name which was
given to the new art form when it was completed was very appropriate. They named it Alegria,
试卷第18页,共3页which means joy in Spanish.
Why did Alegria art become popular so quickly? There are many reasons. As websites
depended on illustrations to fill space, Alegria-type art became increasingly useful. 43
By comparison, more detailed art designs require extra time, skill and money to produce.
Businesses also love the fact that Alegria’s characters celebrate diversity by featuring international
cultural events. The illustrations convey good feelings. Those feelings help people believe they
can trust the companies that feature them on their pages.
44 These people think companies like Facebook have simply prepared over their
problems with positive images. They’ve failed to address their real problems or make lasting
changes.
For many, however, Alegria is a nice visual language that represents happiness. From
children hugging to couples dancing, the images are all about positive energy. 45
A.The style is flat, simple and easy to create.
B.For some consumers, though, that’s a problem.
C.One of the designers took that message to heart.
D.For the netizens, Alegria helps build trust on the big companies.
E.No wonder Alegria is now the most popular style of illustrations for books.
F.All in all, it seems that Alegria is the perfect name for this playful, fun art style.

(2024·浙江·二模)Everyone knows memory fails as you age. 46 Short-term
memory contains the contents of your thoughts right now, which is easily disturbed or disrupted. It
depends on your actively paying attention to the items that are in the “next thing to do” file in your
mind. Our ability of the short-term memory declines slightly with every decade after 30.
47 Some aspects of memory actually get better as we age. For instance, our
ability to extract patterns, regularities and to make accurate predictions improves over time
试卷第20页,共3页because we’ve had more experience. 48
So, how do we account for our subjective experience that older adults seem to struggle with
words and names? 49 Our brain capacity to deal with information and data does suffer
with the ageing process. But given a little more time, older adults perform just fine.
Then, older adults have to search through more memories than younger adults to find the
target information. Your brain becomes crowded with memories and information. 50
It’s just that there is so much more information to sort through. And experiencing new things is
the best way to keep the mind young.
A.But everyone is wrong.
B.It’s not that you can’t remember.
C.Obviously, our memories get crowded as we grow older.
D.But age is not the major factor so commonly assumed.
E.First, there is a generalized cognitive slowing with age.
F.For example, a senior soccer player always outperforms a green hand.
G.If you’re going to get an X-ray, you want a 70-year-old radiologist, not a 30-year-old one.
【答案】46.A 47.D 48.G 49.E 50.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探究人的记忆力与年龄之间的关系,分析得出人的记忆
不一定随着年龄增长而衰退,并解释现象背后的原因。
46.由上文“Everyone knows memory fails as you age. (每个人都知道,随着年龄的增长,记
忆力会衰退。)”可知,这句话提出了一个普遍认知,即随着年龄增长记忆力会衰退,由后
文“Short-term memory contains the contents of your thoughts right now, which is easily
disturbed or disrupted. It depends on your actively paying attention to the items that are in the
“next thing to do” file in your mind. (短期记忆包含了你现在的想法,它很容易被干扰或破坏。
这取决于你积极地关注那些在你脑海中“下一件事要做”文件中的项目。)”可知,前文的
这种说法会被否定或修正,故A选项“But everyone is wrong. (但每个人都错了。)”适合作
为对这一普遍观点的反驳,能承上启下,符合题意。故选A。
47.由上文“Short-term memory contains the contents of your thoughts right now, which is
easily disturbed or disrupted. (短期记忆包含了你现在的想法,它很容易被干扰或破坏。)”可
知,讲述了短期记忆的特点及其随年龄增长的轻微下降,下文应转而讲述记忆的另一面,即并非所有记忆都随年龄衰退,故D选项“But age is not the major factor so commonly
assumed. (但年龄并不是人们普遍认为的主要因素)”能承接上文,符合题意。故选D。
48.由上文“For instance, our ability to extract patterns, regularities and to make accurate
predictions improves over time because we’ve had more experience. (例如,我们提取模式、规
律和做出准确预测的能力随着时间的推移而提高,因为我们有了更多的经验。)”可知,提
到了随年龄增长,我们提取模式、规律及做出准确预测的能力会提升,这里需要一个具体
例子来支撑这个观点,故G选项“If you’re going to get an X-ray, you want a 70-year-old
radiologist, not a 30-year-old one. (如果你要做X光检查,你需要70岁的放射科医生,而不
是30岁的。)”通过实例说明了经验丰富的老医生更受欢迎,能承接上文,符合题意。故选
G。
49.由上文“So, how do we account for our subjective experience that older adults seem to
struggle with words and names? (那么,我们如何解释老年人似乎在单词和名字上挣扎的主观
体验呢?)”可知,这里询问为何老年人在语言和命名上似乎有困难,下文应提供解释,故
E选项“First, there is a generalized cognitive slowing with age. (首先,随着年龄的增长,认知
能力普遍放缓。)”能承接上文,给出了一个可能的原因,即认知速度的减缓,符合题意。
故选E。
50.由上文“Then, older adults have to search through more memories than younger adults to
find the target information. Your brain becomes crowded with memories and information. (然后,
老年人必须比年轻人搜索更多的记忆来找到目标信息。你的大脑充满了记忆和信息。)”可
知,上文描述了随着年龄增长,大脑中累积的记忆和信息增多,接下来应该进一步解释这
种现象,由后文“It’s just that there is so much more information to sort through. And
experiencing new things is the best way to keep the mind young. (只是有太多的信息需要整理。
体验新鲜事物是保持思维年轻的最好方法。)”可知,这种现象不是因为人们记不住了,故

(2024·河北·二模)Super communicators are people who are consistently able to create
real connections with others just by listening and talking. The following are four habits of super
communicators.
They know what kind of conversation they’re having. Super communicators are usually
able to respond accordingly. If you’re having a practical conversation, your friend might ask you
to help make hard decisions. 56 If your friend is just expressing his feelings, you just need
to be a good listener.
They prove they’re listening. There are plenty of ways to appear like you’re listening, like
making eye contact or nodding. To do that, experts suggest a technique called “cycle for
understanding”. Ask a question and listen to the response. Repeat what they just told you. Ask
your conversation partner if you got what they said correct. 57
They ask a lot of the right questions. Research shows that highly effective communicators
tend to ask 10 to 20 times as many questions as everyone else. They may simply be follow-up
questions like “What happened next?”. Super communicators also ask questions that get people to
open up. 58 They ask about people’s values or experiences and create an opportunity for
emotional connection.
59 The goal of a discussion isn’t to impress someone, convince someone or wait
for their turn to speak. It’s to genuinely comprehend someone else’s point of view and share their
own views accordingly. The right response creates an atmosphere of trust and openness that both
parties can benefit from. 60
A.They aim to understand.
B.Experts call them “deep questions”.
C.They are persuasive communicators.
D.The decisions should be easy to carry out.
E.This practice sounds simple but is powerful.
F.Then you should be ready to give good advice.
G.And that is actually the most magical thing that can happen.【答案】56.F 57.E 58.B 59.A 60.G
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些超级沟通者常用的沟通技巧。
56.根据下文“If your friend is just expressing his feelings, you just need to be a good listener.
(如果你的朋友只是在表达他的感受,你只需要做一个好的倾听者)”可知,当朋友只是表达
感受时,我们只需要倾听。结合空处上文“ If you’re having a practical conversation, your
friend might ask you to help make hard decisions.(如果你正在进行一场实际的对话,你的朋友
可能会让你帮忙做一些艰难的决定)”可知,如果朋友拿不定主意时,超级沟通者会给出建
议。F项“Then you should be ready to give good advice.(那么你应该准备好给出好的建议)”
符合语境,advice呼应上文hard decision。故选F。
57.空处位于段末,应承接上文。根据上文“Ask a question and listen to the response.
Repeat what they just told you. Ask your conversation partner if you got what they said correct.(问
一个问题,然后听回答。重复他们刚刚告诉你的话。问问你的对话伙伴,你是否明白了他
们所说的)”可知,超级沟通者通过“提问、重复、再提问确定”的方法来证明自己在倾听
别人的话。E项“This practice sounds simple but is powerful.(这种做法听起来很简单,但却
很有效)”与上文承接自然,this practice指代上文提到的那种方法——提问、重复、再提问
确定。故选E。
58.根据上文“They may simply be follow-up questions like “What happened next?” . Super
communicators also ask questions that get people to open up.(它们可能只是一些后续问题,比
如“接下来发生了什么?”。超级沟通者也会问一些问题,让人们敞开心扉)”和下文“They
ask about people’s values or experiences and create an opportunity for emotional connection.(他
们询问人们的价值观或经历,并创造一个情感联系的机会)”可知,超级沟通者先问一些比

(2024·山东·模拟预测)Shop Sustainably
If you have to name one thing that contributes most to your ecological footprints, you may
say the energy you use at home, or your car’s emissions. 61 Knowing this can make your
grocery shops more planet-friendly. Here is what you can do to help shop sustainably.
● 62 Using those is a great first step. If you get some, do remember to fill them with
your purchases. When you adapt yourself to reusing them, then you’ll cut your consumption of
single-use plastic bags even further.
●Avoid unnecessary packing. Buy loose fruit and vegetables instead of pre-packaged
produce, and avoid products that contain multiple single packages or double packaging, like grain
in a box and a bag. Consider switching from tea bags and coffee pods to tea leaves and ground
coffee. 63

(2024·湖北·三模)People have always believed that nature is good for health and
happiness. According to scientific studies, being in nature makes people less stressed. In a recent
experiment in Japan, one group of people were asked to walk through a forest while another group
had to walk through a busy city. 71 . However, researchers found that after the walks,
the people who had walked in the forest had better moods, less anxiety and even lower blood
pressure. So the experiment showed that it was being in nature that helped people feel less
stressed, not just the walk.
Gregory Bratman from Stanford University in the United States found in experiments that a
walk in nature could have important cognitive (认知) benefits, improving a person’s memory and
creativity. 72 . Teachers find that when children are enjoying the natural world, their
awareness and creativity are improved, along with their reasoning and observational skills.

instinctive (本能的) love for it. Even just looking out of the window at a beautiful tree can help us
feel less stressed.

we use undirected attention. We see an interesting cloud or a beautiful flower, and our attention
moves quickly and easily from one thing to another. So being in nature gives our brains the chance
to rest.
75 . For many of us, nature is something we can enjoy just by walking out of our
door. So enjoy the nature around you!
