【答案】11.D 12.A 13.D 14.A
【原文】W: I suppose the first question I have to ask you, Alan, is: what is a Best Boy?
M: Well, the title is an American term used to describe the assistant to the man who works with the cameramen and
the electricians on a film to make sure that the film is properly lit.
W: So how do you spend your time?
M: Basically what I do is work between the electrical department and production. I deal with the companies where
the lights come from. And I’m also there on the film set, making sure that everything runs smoothly, that the
lighting is set up when the camera crew arrives to shoot the film, and then I also help with the budget—we have to
do timesheets, things like that. It’s mostly paperwork really.
W: When did you start working in the industry?
M: About fifteen years ago. I’d been an electrician and my first few film jobs were basic electrical ones, then I
moved over to this.
W: It sounds a rather complicated job to me.
M: No, not really. I’ve never had to do anything out of the ordinary. But filming on location does make things more
intense — there’s less control than in the studio and you can have problems with the weather. On my latest film, we
were working in the hills and it would take us ages to get the equipment up there. But I enjoyed it. It was a
challenge.
W: Where do you see yourself in the future? What would promotion be for you?M: I like it where I am. I like working behind the scenes and seeing how the production works. There are enough
challenges in the present job for me. The more experience you get, the more you worry whether you’ve got things
to the right stage at the right time or not. You can’t just go home and switch off. But getting things right is a big
satisfaction.
Now listen again.
Questions
11. Which of the following is one of Alan’s responsibilities?
12. What was Alan’s job before he worked as a Best Boy?
13. According to Alan, why does filming on location make things more intense?
14. What does Alan say about his future development?
Questions 15 through 17 are based on the following passage.
15.A.Dreams are usually meaningless. B.Not everyone has dreams every day.
C.We are sometimes anxious about dreams. D.Dreams can remind us of what we must do.
16.A.If you are often eager to dream. B.If you want to understand them.
C.If you wonder when you dream. D.If you are often frightened by them.
17.A.What intense feelings you have in the dreams.
B.Where you go in the dreams.
C.Whoever you meet in the dreams.
D.Whatever you experience in the dreams.
【答案】15.D 16.B 17.A
【原文】
A team of scientists, who have studied the subject of dreams, have come up with some interesting conclusions.
Firstly, everybody, without exception, has them. Secondly, dreams can be of practical value, acting as a reminder of
things of importance that we need to do in our waking lives. If you dream of the punishment you may receive for
not handing in your homework punctually, for example, this may help you to do it on time. Indeed, things we are
anxious about in our daily lives often feature in our dreams.
But it is hard to make sense of your dreams if you lack the ability to remember them in the first place. One
recommendation is that you should keep a diary and pen by your bed, so you can write down your dreams as soon
as they occur. You should also concentrate on three aspects. Firstly, record the strongest emotion in your dream,
whether it is fear, anger or whatever. Then write down anything strange or unusual that happened and the names of
the people who made an appearance in your dream. This way, according to the experts, you will have a reliable andmeaningful dream record, which will make for fascinating reading.
Now listen again.
Questions
15. What conclusion have the scientists reached about dreams?
16. In which situation is it necessary to remember your dreams?
17. What are you recommended to write down if you want to record your dreams?
Questions 18 through 20are based on the following passage.
18.A.To go on strike. B.To protect themselves.
C.To combine their efforts. D.To fight against their employers.
19.A.The shops stopped selling them daily necessities.
B.People then suffered from a shortage of foodstuffs.
C.They were exploited and mistreated by their employers.
D.Gas and candles were not available to them at that time.
20.A.They refuse most new technologies. B.They stick to old ways of business.
C.They offer banking and insurance. D.They are limited to a small region.
【答案】18.B 19.A 20.C
【原文】
Hi, well, as you know, I’ve been doing a project on co-operatives and their history and what they’re like today.
Although farmers and people have always worked together from prehistory onwards, what we know today as co-
operatives really got going during the industrial revolution. They were frequently started by workers in situations
where perhaps their companies were exploiting them or mistreating them in some way and they were seen as a way
of providing 2protection for employees.
The first one to really last and make a go of things was set up in town in the north of England, Rochdale, about
a hundred and seventy years ago. The local workers had gone on strike, but then their employer, who ran the local
shop, the company shop, took revenge by refusing to sell them food. Rather than starve, they started a co-operative
food store whose purpose was to provide basic foodstuffs just so people could survive. The employers in question
then went a step further by refusing to sell gas to the striking employees, so because they had no light, the co-
operative started selling candles as well, even though that hadn’t been part of their original plan.
Well, the movement was born and there are still co-operatives around today, ones which have been around for
more than a hundred years running whole groups of shops in a region or over the whole country or offering banking
and insurance. There are also ones which have been started very recently and are involved in all sorts of newtechnologies such as wind farms or designing internet sites and the like.
Now listen again.
Questions
18. Why did workers frequently start co-operatives during the industrial revolution?
19. Why did workers in Rochdale start the first real cooperative about 170 years ago?
20. What can be learned about today’s co-operatives from the passage?

(2023上·上海·高三复旦附中校考期中)
I received an email from a reader who asked, “Why do some friendships end, no matter how much you want
them to last?” She referred to 21 (see) the question in one of my articles, Mystery of Friendship. As I
wrote in it, I don’t think easy answers exist as to how friendships start, why some turn into lifetime 22 ,
and why some end. Although I’ve tried answering the first two questions in other articles (To Have A Friend and Be
A Friend), I still get surprised by friendships that endure and disillusioned by those that slip away. Even so, I’ll try
to offer some insights here as to why friendships end.
My simple answer is that friendships end because the situations 23 friends are in or even the friends
themselves change. First, the realities friends face may change. The decision to relocate 24 a new school
or job cannot help but affect a friendship. Likewise, if a friend is in an accident, develops an illness, or loses
someone close, these cannot help but affect a friendship. Does a friendship need to end because of these changes?
No, but it’ll require adjustments that one or both friends 25 not be willing to make.
Second, the friends themselves may change. A significant reason why friendships often end 26
friends are apart for an 27 (extend) period of time (for summer camp, college, etc.) is that one or both of
the friends change. I think it 28 (hurt) less when both friends change, because then the breakup is more
often mutual and so both friends get closure by both deciding to let go and move forward in their lives without each
other. What tends to hurt most is when just one friend changes. One friend might change social circles, become
involved in new social organizations, start to date, get a pet, or take on some other venture that consumes more time
and passion. Again, a friendship can endure these changes, 29 one or both of the friends for some reasondecide not to invest the time and energy involved in the adjustment period. In this situation, breakups may not be
mutual and so one or both friends feel betrayed and end up with bitter memories about 30 was a precious
friendship to them.
【答案】
21.having seen 22.ones 23.that/which 24.for 25.might 26.when 27.extended
28.hurts 29.unless 30.what
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了作者对于为什么友谊会结束的几点看法。
21.考查时态。句意:她提到在我的一篇文章《友谊的奥秘》中看到过这个问题。分析句子结构可知,固
定短语refer to(提到;涉及)后接动名词,根据语境可知,此处表示“读者已经看过这篇文章”,应用动
名词的完成时。故填having seen。
22.考查代词。句意:正如我在文章中所写的,我不认为存在简单的答案,比如友谊是如何开始的,为什
么有些会成为一生的友谊,为什么有些会结束。此处指一些友谊变成“一生的友谊”,为同类异物泛指,
应用ones。故填ones。
23.考查定语从句。句意:我的简单回答是,友谊的结束是因为朋友所处的环境或者是朋友本身发生了变
化。分析句子结构可知,该句为定语从句,先行词 the situations指物,从句中缺少宾语,可使用关系代词
that或which在从句中作宾语。故填that/which。
24.考查介词。句意:为了新学校或新工作而搬迁的决定不得不影响友谊。分析句子结构可知,此处表示
“为了新学校或者新工作”而搬家的决定,可使用介词for,表示“为了……”。故填for。
25.考查情态动词。句意:不,但这需要你做出调整,而你或你的朋友可能都不愿意做。前文提到友谊可
能因为各种原因而结束,如果不想要友谊结束的话,就要其中一方或者双方做出改变,而友谊之所以会结
束,就是因为有可能没有人愿意做出改变,空后动词使用了原形,根据语境可知,空处可使用情态动词
might,表示“可能”,语气更加委婉。故填might。
26.考查连词。句意:朋友长时间不在一起(如参加夏令营、上大学等)友谊常常会终止的一个重要原因
是一方或双方改变了。分析句子结构可知,此处表示“当朋友们长时间分开始时”,可使用连词 when引
导时间状语从句。故填when。
27.考查形容词。句意:朋友长时间不在一起(如参加夏令营、上大学等)友谊常常会终止的一个重要原
因是一方或双方改变了。分析句子结构可知,空处可使用形容词extended(延长了的)在句中作定语修饰
名词period。故填extended。
28.考查时态。句意:我认为当朋友双方都改变时,其伤害较轻,因为这时的分手往往是互相的,双方都
决定不再交往,从此各奔东西,让友谊终结。空处为宾语从句的谓语,根据语境可知,该句陈述一般事实,应用一般现在时,主语是it,故填hurts。
29.考查连词。句意:当然,友谊是经得起这些变化的,除非一方或双方由于某种原因决定不再在友谊调
整期内投入必要的时间和精力。分析句子结构可知,空处前后句子结构完整,因此需使用连词连接两个句
子,结合语境,使用unless引导条件状语从句,表示“除非”。故填unless。
30.考查宾语从句。句意:在这种情况下,分手可能不是相互的,所以一个或两个朋友都觉得被背叛了,
并以痛苦的回忆结束对他们来说这段宝贵的友谊。分析句子结构可知,空处引导宾语从句,从句中缺少主
语成分,指代事物,应用连接代词what引导从句。故填what。

Unlocking the Secrets of Your Night
Most people do not realize that dreams take up about 25% of the night’s sleep, and each dream period lasts
from 5 to 20 minutes. There is no doubt that dreams play an important role in our lives. If they can be correctly
31 —and that is a big “if”—we can come to understand ourselves better. Here, we look at three common
dreams and what they potentially symbolize.
Dream 1: I can see their laughing faces laughing at me. But they aren’t as smart. If they were, they’d be up
here flying with me!
This dream has both positive and negative 32 . On the positive side, the dream may express a strong
desire to travel and get away from everyday 33 . It may also symbolize a powerful desire to achieve. On the
other hand, this dream can mean the person has a problem or is 34 of something and they wish to escape.
The dream could represent feelings of inferiority, which the dreamer attempts to get rid of by literally and
physically 35 themselves above others.
Dream 2: I’m moving fast now, but it’s still behind me. It doesn’t matter how fast I go. I still can’t escape.
Although this is a traditional symbol of health and 36 , it can suggest the dreamer is trying to escape
from danger. Usually, fear is the dominant emotion. By 37 hard, the dreamer can possibly escape the threat.
However, they can also stop moving. This makes the fear even more terrifying. One possible explanation is that theperson is under pressure in their everyday life.
Dream 3: I’m sweating and my heart is beating. I’m trapped. Trapped in my own bed.
This symbol is associated with fear and embarrassment: suddenly the dreamer loses all power of movement.
They try hard to move their arms and legs, but they simply cannot; 38 in’ a terrifying situation with no
escape, they become more and more terrified as the seconds go by. Another frequent 39 for this dream is
failing to do something in public, often something that you are normally very good at, such as your job. Not only is
this extremely embarrassing, but it also shows a(n) 40 fear of losing a job and a livelihood.
【答案】
31.I 32.C 33.G 34.E 35.A 36.D 37.H 38.K 39.B 40.F
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要解读了三种常见的梦的含义。
31.考查动词。句意:如果它们能被正确地解释——这是一个很大的“如果”——我们就能更好地了解自
己。根据下文“Here, we look at three common dreams and what they potentially symbolize.”可知,下文是解释
梦的含义,所以此处指“如果梦能被正确地解读”,动词interpret,解释,符合语境,结合“can be”可知,
此处需填过去分词形式interpreted。故选I。
32.考查名词。句意:这个梦既有积极的含义,也有消极的含义。根据下文“On the positive side, the
dream may express a strong desire to travel and get away from everyday ”可知,此处在解释梦的含义,C
项implications“含义,暗示”符合语境,在句中作宾语。故选C。
33.考查名词。句意:从积极的方面来看,这个梦可能表达了一种强烈的旅行欲望,摆脱日常生活常规的
束缚。根据“the dream may express a strong desire to travel”可知,此处指想要摆脱日常生活常规的束缚。
routine,常规,名词作宾语。故选G。
34.考查形容词。句意:另一方面,这个梦可能意味着这个人有问题或害怕某事,他们希望逃避。根据
“this dream can mean the person has a problem”可知,此处表示害怕某事,空处需填形容词作表语,be
afraid of为固定搭配,意为“害怕”。故选E。
35.考查非谓语动词。句意:这个梦可能代表着自卑感,做梦者试图通过从字面上和身体上抬高自己来摆
脱这种自卑感。根据“The dream could represent feelings of inferiority”可知,做梦者试图通过从字面上和身
体上抬高自己来摆脱这种自卑感,elevate,动词,抬高,介词by后面接动名词作宾语。故选A。
36.考查名词。句意:虽然这是健康和活力的传统象征,但它可能暗示梦者正在试图逃离危险。根据上文
“I’m moving fast now, but it’s still behind me. It doesn’t matter how fast I go. I still can’t escape.”可知,这样的
梦是健康和活力的传统象征,空处和名词“health”并列,vitality,活力,名词。故选D。
37.考查非谓语动词。句意:通过努力奔跑,做梦的人可能会逃离威胁。根据“the dreamer can possiblyescape the threat.”可知,努力奔跑,可能会逃离威胁,run,动词,跑,位于介词 by后面,需用动名词
running,作宾语。故选H。
38.考查非谓语动词。句意:他们被困在一个可怕的环境中,无处可逃,随着时间的流逝,他们变得越来
越害怕。根据“They try hard to move their arms and legs, but they simply cannot”可知,此处表示停止在一个
可怕的环境中,freeze,动词,(因害怕)停住不动,they和freeze为被动关系,需用过去分词形式作状语。
故选K。
39.考查名词。句意:这种梦的另一个常见情境是在公共场合做某事失败,通常是你通常非常擅长的事情,
比如你的工作。根据“failing to do something in public”可知,此处描述的是一个情境,context,情境,名
词作主语。故选B。
40.考查形容词。句意:这不仅非常尴尬,而且还显示出对失去工作和生计的根深蒂固的恐惧。根据
“fear of losing a job and a livelihood”可知,对失去工作和生计的根深蒂固的恐惧,deep-rooted,根深蒂固
的,形容词作定语,修饰名词fear。故选F。

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context
(2023上·上海市控江中学校考练习)
You’ve been painting for a few years, have shown work in a group show at the local art center, and maybe you
have even sold a painting or two. Are you ready to 41 the title of an amateur artist? Distinguishing
beginners from professional artists is a 42 business. It is not just a matter of your ability to create nice
paintings, nor does having another job 43 disqualify someone from being considered a professional artist.
Two key factors come into play when making that 44 .
To turn professional, individuals must prioritize the development of developing a personal style. What makes
your paintings different than every other painting out there? Do your paintings exhibit a unified theme throughout,
or do they lack 45 ? Style does not mean that you are painting the same subject or using the same painting
medium. 46 , it refers to the look and feel of your paintings. A personal style doesn’t come 47 but
evolves with technique, choice of painting medium, and the subjects you depict. You 48 it through
continuous practice and exploration. Salvador Dali explored many artistic mediums, but they all have a 49
Dali style. Every artist has a style and when you begin to develop it, this is when you really know that you’ re on
the road to being a professional.Another significant factor behind becoming a professional artist is your 50 . What gets you out of bed
every morning to paint? How do you find the energy to have all your time devoted to painting? 51 , both
professionals and amateurs love to do what they do and they get satisfaction out of creating art. However, Amateurs
may 52 painting just as a hobby or to satisfy a creative impulse. For professional artists, it goes beyond
that. Some wish to convey a deep message concerning life, society, or even politics. Others simply seek financial
returns to pay family bills. What’s more, many amateur artists wait for 53 to come. If they are not in the
mood, they do not bother looking at the canvas(画布). They may even stop painting if another activity pops up in
their day. Professionals are never easily 54 or torn away from their artwork in progress. It may even take a
natural disaster to force them out of the studio. Professional artists are also constantly prepared to look for ideas for
the next painting, driven by the belief that the next painting will 55 the last one and that there is always
room for improvement.
Are you ready to become a professional? Whether you pursue a professional art career or not, keep creating.
You will find a personal satisfaction in painting that few other hobbies can give you.

(2023上·上海七宝中学·高三校考阶段练习)
As a kid growing up in a suburb of London, I loved to go looking for the perfect park bench. Some Sunday
mornings, my dad could be persuaded to drive to new parks. We’d have a kick-around with a soccer ball, share a
bag of Dotritos and check out all the benches in the area, reading the words on them.
The good park bench leaves me in a state, somewhere between nostalgia (怀旧) and eager antic ration (一份滑
稽). Where once I was excited by the words carved on wood, I now find, as a 10-year-old, that I’m more
appreciative of each bench’s quiet stoicism (坦然谈定), the way they are willing to wait out their tum in every
weather, remaining available to all-comers. Like a good book or piece of music, a park bench allows for a sense of
solitude and community at the same time, which is crucial to life in a great city.
Part of my recession with park benches is as spaces where history settles. By planting seeds of curiosity, and
making space for reflection, park benches become doors to the past. Maybe that’s the greatest power of the park
bench: its rapacity (贪婪) encourages the art of observation. A good bench catches us in our quietest, most
vulnerable moments, when we may be open to imagining new nanauves and revisiting old ones. Our masks are
taken off, hung from the bench’s wrought iron. On other nearby benches,babies are being burped (打嗝). Glances
exchanged. Sandwiches eaten. Newspapers read it.
Lately, I’ve found me sitting on a lot of cramped metal benches of the kind that don’t invite you to stay long,
or uneasy ones that leave you cold. That’s because public seating is becoming an endangered species. Our cities are
becoming more like Disneyland, which has been quietly removing public seating and replacing it with more
restaurant seating. If you want a moment’s rest in 2Ist-century America, you have to open your wallet.
One recent Sunday, I wandered through Central Park. To be in Central Park in what is hopefully the
pandemic’s twilight is to be reminded of the beauty of living in a city that still makes space for park benches in the
modem cityscape.
56.How did the writer lead in the topic?
A.By describing the scene of the park. B.By introducing his childhood experience.
C.By revealing his passion for London. D.By showing his father’s affection for him.57.What can we learn about the writer after he grew up?
A.He liked the feel park benches brought to him. B.He enjoyed the peace in the park very much.
C.He was still crazy about the words on the bench. D.He was suffering great frustration in his 40s.
58.What does the underlined word “solitude” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Achievements. B.Loss. C.Happiness. D.Privacy.
59.Why is public seating becoming an endangered species?
A.It is commercialized. B.It is usually made of metal.
C.It is quite out of date. D.It is uncomfortable to sit there.

(2023·上海松江二中单元练习)The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in educational technology (EdTech) has brought incomparable
convenience and efficiency to classrooms worldwide. However, despite these advancements, it is crucial to
recognize the challenges these AI-driven tools pose to the autonomy and professional judgment of instructors.
One of its primary concerns is the depersonalization of instruction. These tools often rely on pre-packaged
digital content and standardized solutions, leaving insufficient room for instructors to tailor their teaching methods.
Each student possesses unique characteristics. Instructors, armed with their wealth of experience and knowledge,
are best positioned to tailor their approaches to these individual needs. However, AI-driven tools restrict their
ability to do so effectively, resulting in a one-size-fits-all approach that fails to inspire students to reach their
maximum potential.
EdTech companies offer step-by-step solutions to textbook problems. These are intended to act as study aids.
However, some students employ this feature as a means to merely copy solutions without comprehending concepts.
Consequently, instances of cheating on assignments and exams become widespread. While these tools may offer
convenience, students may use external resources or cooperate with others during quizzes, affecting the honesty of
their learning outcomes.
The implications of this depersonalization and the increase in academic dishonesty are far-reaching. By
decreasing the role of instructors as facilitators of meaningful educational interactions, we run the risk of
preventing the growth of critical thinking and problem-solving skills among students. Education should not only
focus on knowledge acquisition, but should also develop the ability to analyze, evaluate, and apply that knowledge
in real-world contexts. It should help one’s mind grow, not simply memorize information. Through dynamic
classroom discussions, cooperative projects, and hands-on activities, instructors play a crucial role in developing
these essential skills.
While AI-driven EdTech tools undeniably have their virtues, we must not lose sight of the importance of
preserving instructor autonomy and educational experience. Instead of relying only on pre-packaged content and
standardized solutions, these tools should be designed to empower instructors to adapt and customize their
approaches while taking full advantage of the benefits of technology.
63.What do the underlined words “the depersonalization of instruction” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Tailored methods for individuals. B.Instructors’ dependence on Al.
C.Insufficient resources of Al-driven tools.D.The one-size-fits-all approach.
64.What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A.A possible solution.B.A further problem.
C.A well-meant intention.
D.A suggested application
65.In what aspect do students suffer most with AI-driven EdTech education?
A.Thinking skills. B.Teamwork building.
C.Interest development. D.Knowledge acquisition.
66.What is conveyed about Al-driven EdTech tools in the last paragraph?
A.They should be used widely.
B.Their benefits deserve our attention.
C.Their resources need enriching.
D.They should support instructor autonomy.
【答案】63.D 64.B 65.A 66.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人工智能与教育技术的融合为世界各地的课堂带来了无与伦比的
便利和效率。然而,尽管取得了这些进步,但认识到这些人工智能驱动的工具对教师的自主性和专业判断
构成的挑战至关重要。
63.词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“Each student possesses unique characteristics. Instructors, armed with their
wealth of experience and knowledge, are best positioned to tailor their approaches to these individual needs.
However, AI-driven tools restrict their ability to do so effectively, resulting in a one-size-fits-all approach that fails

知识,最适合为这些个人需求量身定制他们的方法。然而,人工智能驱动的工具限制了他们有效地做到这
一点的能力,导致一刀切的方法无法激发学生发挥最大潜力)”可知,每个学生都有自己独特的特点,人工
智能采用一刀切的方法无法激发学生发挥最大潜力。由此可知,划线词组the depersonalization of instruction
(教学的去人格化)指的是The one-size-fits-all approach (一刀切的方法)。故选D。
64.主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“However, some students employ this feature as a means to merely copy
solutions without comprehending concepts. Consequently, instances of cheating on assignments and exams become
widespread. While these tools may offer convenience, students may use external resources or cooperate with others
during quizzes, affecting the honesty of their learning outcomes. (然而,一些学生利用这一特点作为一种手段,
只是复制解决方案,而不理解概念。因此,在作业和考试中作弊的情况变得普遍。虽然这些工具提供了便
利,但学生可能会在测试过程中使用外部资源或与他人合作,从而影响他们学习成果的诚实)”可知,第三
段主要介绍了另一个问题。故选B。
65.推理判断题。根据第四段中的“By decreasing the role of instructors as facilitators of meaningfuleducational interactions, we run the risk of preventing the growth of critical thinking and problem-solving skills
among students. Education should not only focus on knowledge acquisition, but should also develop the ability to

和解决问题技能发展的风险。教育不应该只关注知识的获取,还应该培养分析、评价和在现实环境中应用
知识的能力。它应该帮助一个人的思维成长,而不仅仅是记忆信息)”可推知,在人工智能驱动的EdTech教
育中,学生在思维能力方面受到的影响最大。故选A。
66.推理判断题。根据最后一段“While AI-driven EdTech tools undeniably have their virtues, we must not lose
sight of the importance of preserving instructor autonomy and educational experience. Instead of relying only on
pre-packaged content and standardized solutions, these tools should be designed to empower instructors to adapt

育技术工具无可否认有其优点,但我们不能忽视保留教师自主权和教育经验的重要性。这些工具的设计不
应仅仅依赖于预先打包的内容和标准化的解决方案,而应使教师能够在充分利用技术优势的同时适应和定
制他们的方法)”可推知,人工智能驱动的教育技术工具应该支持教师的自主权。故选D。

Could a New Battery Solve Our Energy Problem?
Researchers in the US have made headlines worldwide by developing a new type of battery that charges far
faster and holds way more charge than today’s lithium cells (锂电池). It’s not just a terrific technology story, either.
The team behind it is led by tech legend Prof John Goodenough of the University of Texas, Austin—the co-inventor
of the original lithium-ion battery, and still doing brilliant work at the age of 94.
67 That’s why we’re still using 21st-Century gadgetry with one eye on battery, wondering if we canget to a charger before our device goes completely dead.
This depressing state of affairs is more than simply inconvenient. If we’re to make the most of renewable
energy, we need ways of coping with those times when the wind drops or there’s no sunshine. 68
Elon Musk, the billionaire boss of electric car company Tesla, certainly thinks so. He’s already created a 20
megawatt battery ‘farm’ in California, and is willing to put his money where his batteries are. 69 For
example, one wind farm in Hawaii had three fires in its battery ‘farm’ within a year of opening.
But now Goodenough and his team may have found the answer, by switching from lithium to sodium (钠).
The lithium batteries that made Goodenough’s reputation contain a liquid electrolyte (电解质) which doesn’t
respond well to rapid charging. One of Goodenough’s colleagues, Maria Braga, decided that the answer lay in
switching to solid electrolytes. The team has now managed to get a solid glass electrolyte to work with sodium,
which is similar to lithium but far more common. 70 The battery has triple the charge of its lithium
equivalent, it charges in minutes rather than hours, and it has a longer lifespan.
Advances in energy storage are vital if renewable are going to reach their potential. The boundless energy of
Goodenough—the Li-ion King himself—may just have found the solution just in time.
【答案】67.D 68.B 69.A 70.C
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章讨论了新型电池能否解决能源问题。
67.后文提到“That’s why we’re still using 21st-Century gadgetry with one eye on battery, wondering if we can
get to a charger before our device goes completely dead.”(因此,在使用21世纪的电子产品时,我们不得不
时刻关注着电池情况,担心设备没电前是否能找到充电器。)电池技术相对来讲并没有完全成熟,因此人

The great teen sleeping crisis?
A recent study found that only around 50% of US teenagers were getting the seven hours of sleep generally
considered necessary. The other half were getting on average two hours less. These are worrying figures indeed,
especially when you take into consideration latest recommendations from experts that seven to ten hours is best for
teenagers.
One thing we all need to do is to stop blaming teenagers for their sleeping habits, since they do have a
biological excuse for their behaviour. It’s all the fault of the hormone melatonin. When melatonin increases through
the body, it’s telling us that it’s time to go to bed. The problem is that in teenagers, melatonin is released two hours
later than in adults, meaning that they get the call to go to bed much later than their parents. Then, when they’re
forced to wake up in the morning, their melatonin levels are still high and their bodies are urging them to stay in
bed. That’s why they find it such a struggle to drag themselves out from under the covers.So what can be done to make life easier for everyone? Well, one simple solution would be to start the school
day two hours later. In the US, 40% of all teenagers start school before 8 am, which is clearly far too early for the
average teenage brain to function properly. If a 10 am start time was implemented, it would give them a much fairer
chance.
In addition, teenagers themselves need to take more responsibility for their own sleeping patterns. It’s been
proven that people who stick to a regular routine lead far healthier lives. Going to bed and getting up at the same
time each day certainly gives your body a head start. Teens can even take a nap in the afternoon if they’re able to
make that a regular part of their routine.

【详解】考查名词、形容词、介词短语和时态。分析句子,“那些包装精美的小零食一点不贵”是第一分
句,主语“那些包装精美的小零食”译为 Those beautifully packaged snacks,为复数,其中 beautifully
packaged作定语,“一点不贵”译为be not expensive at all,描述现在的状态,用一般现在时,系动词用
are,形容词expensive作表语;“相反还在搞特价活动呢”是第二分句,用并列连词and连接,“相反”
用介词短语on the contrary,作状语,结合句意,添加主语they,“在搞特价活动”用be on special sale表
示,描述现在的情况,用一般现在时,系动词用 are。故译为:Those beautifully packaged snacks are not
expensive at all, and on the contrary, they are on special sale.
73.(2023上·上海复旦附中校考期中)尤其值得一提的是,将这一美景写进诗里,是这位诗人的独创。
(It)
【答案】It is especially worth mentioning that it is the poet's original creation to write this beautiful scene into a
poem.
【详解】考查固定句式和短语。根据句意可知,句子可使用一般现在时,由提示it可知,“尤其值得一提
的是”可使用固定句式it is especially worth mentioning that,it在句中作形式主语,that引导的从句作真正
的主语,worth doing sth.“值得做某事”,mention“提到”。从句中“……是诗人的独创”也可使用it作形
式主语,译为it is the poet's original creation,“将这一美景写进诗里”可使用不定式to write this beautiful
scene into a poem作从句中真正的主语。故翻译为It is especially worth mentioning that it is the poet's original
creation to write this beautiful scene into a poem.。

good knowledge of,陈述客事实用一般现在时态,谓语动词用单数形式 has,宾语“市场营销策略”用
marketing strategies表示;“每当受邀分享成功的商业案例时, 总是津津有味”可理解为“汤姆很享受受邀
分享成功的商业案例的机会”,与前文主语一致,谓语“从…获得乐趣;享受”用动词 relish,陈述客事
实用一般现在时态,谓语动词用单数形式relishes,状语“总是”用副词always,宾语“受邀分享成功的商
业案例的机会”用the opportunity to share successful business stories表示,其中不定式作后置定语。综上,
全句译为:Tom has a good knowledge of marketing strategies and always relishes the opportunity to share
successful business stories.
75.(2023上·上海交大附中校考期中)这位被称为“情歌王子”的歌手相貌英俊、嗓音独特、唱功了得,
他的歌让无数歌迷想起自己逝去的青春,难怪他的现场演出一票难求。(refer)
【答案】The singer, referred to as the “Prince of Love Songs”, is handsome, has a unique voice and can sing
beautifully, whose songs remind millions of fans of their lost youth, so it’s no wonder that tickets to his live shows
are difficult to get.
【详解】考查名词、形容词、非谓语动词、时态和从句。分析句子,“这位被称为‘情歌王子’的歌手相
貌英俊、嗓音独特、唱功了得”是主句,主语“这位歌手”用the singer,“被称为‘情歌王子’的”作后
置定语,用过去分词短语referred to as the “Prince of Love Songs”表示,过去分词表被动,“相貌英俊”、
“嗓音独特”和“唱功了得”三个并列结构可以分别处理为 is handsome,has a unique voice和can sing
beautifully,其中is是连系动词,形容词 handsome作表语,has和can sing也是并列谓语,其后 a unique
voice作宾语,副词beautifully作状语;“他的歌让无数歌迷想起自己逝去的青春,难怪他的现场演出一票
难求”可处理为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词The singer,用关系代词whose引导定语从句,从句主语“他
的歌”用whose songs,谓语“让……想起”用remind...of...,宾语“无数歌迷”用millions of fans,介词后
宾语“自己逝去的青春”用their lost youth;“难怪他的现场演出一票难求”表示结果,用并列连词so引
出,“难怪……”用固定句型it’s no wonder that...,“他的现场演出一票难求”是从句,主语“现场演出
票”用tickets to his live shows,“难求”用be difficult to get表示,陈述客观事实用一般现在时态,主语是
复数名词,be 动词作 are。综上,全句译为:The singer, referred to as the “Prince of Love Songs”, is
handsome, has a unique voice and can sing beautifully, whose songs remind millions of fans of their lost youth, so
it’s no wonder that tickets to his live shows are difficult to get.VI.Guided Writing (共25分)

【答案】One possible version:
Dear Sir/Madam,
Hearing that you are calling on students to give opinions on choosing a student association, I am so interested
in it and decide to write a letter to suggest selecting the Activities for Disabled Children Club.
In my opinion, with your fund, the Activities for Disabled Children Club can do some important things to help
disabled children, such as regular medical examinations, which can improve the rehabilitation of disabled children
and promote the all-round development of disabled children. With the fund, the club can organize some public
activities, so that disabled children and normal children can have some social activities together, which can help
disabled children better integrate into society, reduce their psychological pressure and let them feel the care of
society.
I think it significant to set up the Activities for Disabled Children Club. I hope you can take my suggestion
seriously.
Yours,
