阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The Best Caves in The World
Hang Son Doong, Vietnam
Natural caves don’t come much larger than Hang Son Doong, close to the border between Laos and Vietnam.
This cave possesses the largest cross-section of any known cave on the planet, a vast area that is difficult to
describe. Supposedly, a Boeing 747 could fly through without damaging its wings, but that doesn’t really do
justice to the vastness of Hang Son Doong. The stalactites (钟乳石) here are pretty massive too, with some
reaching up to 80 metres.
Waitomo Caves, New Zealand
Glowworms (萤火虫) are there, as far as the eye can see. Okay, not literally, but the Waitomo Cave system
on New Zealand’s North Island is best-known for the fluorescent fauna that light up the walls, giving it the not-
particularly-creative but completely acceptable “Glowworm Caves” nickname. They are more accessible than
other caves on this list, with rafting and adventure tours available to those looking for something a little more
thrilling.
Mammoth Cave, the USA
If you have certain expectations from somewhere called “Mammoth Cave”, that is entirely understandable.
Mammoth Cave in Kentucky is the world’s longest known cave system, an incredible 420 miles of underground
wonder. That’s twice as long as the next longest, by the way, although it isn’t unusual for the USA to go all out on
such things.
Reed Flute (芦笛) Cave, China
Named after the reeds that grow outside, which are used to make flutes, obviously, the Reed Flute Cave’s
walls are covered with inscriptions from centuries gone by—if evidence was needed that people have been paying
attention to this place for a long old time. The inside part of the cave is also lit up by multicoloured lights, giving
it a real otherworldly theme that adds weight to the nickname.
1. What is special about Hang Son Doong?
A. It was once a base of a factory.
B. It is the deepest cave in the world.C. It has the highest stalactites in the world.
D. It owns the largest cross-section in the world.
2. Which of the following can be much easier to enter?
A. Hang Son Doong. B. Waitomo Caves.
C. Mammoth Cave. D. Reed Flute Cave.
3. Which country probably has the longest cave system in the world?
A. Vietnam. B. New Zealand. C. The USA. D. China.
B
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
2
原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！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.
4. 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.
5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. A possible solution.
B. A further problem.
C. A well-meant intention.
D. A suggested application
6. In what aspect do students suffer most with AI-driven EdTech education?
A. Thinking skills. B. Teamwork building.
C. Interest development. D. Knowledge acquisition.
7. 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.

“I was in the ICU. I’d been told I’d be released the next day. The worst, it seemed, was behind me.” Jake
Ryan didn’t know it at the time, but the worst was not totally behind him. After his open heart surgery, he was
about to enter a different and difficult journey on the road to physical and emotional recovery.
Upon discharge (出院), the hospital gave Jake a “care package.” “I miss my 3-year-old twins. I remember
thinking how much I wished there was a book in the package that would offer guidance for how to be a dad
following surgery. There wasn’t, but it was out of that thought that this book was born.”
Dear Diary Franklin is a novel written in the voice of 11-year-old Hannah Brody, whose father had suddenly
collapsed on a gym floor and was in need of serious medical attention. The book is written in diary format, which
gets readers deep inside the head and heart of its young heroine.
Through her diary, readers hear about Hannah’s feelings and frustrations as she copes with the anger, fear and
confusion of the impact of her father’s surgery. What are they keeping from me? And why? She repeatedly hears
the catchall cliché (陈词滥调) “everything is going to be fine” so many times that she can only think anything but.
Her own translation: “Normal was over.” While her dad does his best to keep things as normal as possible, his
recovery, as you’d imagine, is slow and his routine changes. Meanwhile, there’s the matter of school and Hannah’splace within what for some is a terrifying social universe—she has few friends.
While Ryan said his motivation was to help men (or parents in general) deal with the aftereffects of major
surgery in their families and themselves, he has delivered a valuable story for children and grownups alike in how
to tackle a difficult life event that nobody can truly prepare you for.
8. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph l refer to?
A. That he was sent to the ICU.
B. That he had got past the worst things.
C. That he would go through a tough recovery.
D. That he would be discharged from the hospital.
9. Why did Jake Ryan write Dear Diary Franklin?
A. To share a personal journey of recovery.
B. To provide support for parents after surgery.
C. To explore the challenges of post-surgery life.
D. To offer guidance for children with sick parents.
10. What can we learn about Hannah Brody from the text?
A. She terrifies her friends away. B. She buys what is told to her.
C. She changes her father’s routine. D. She suffers lots of hardships.
11. What is the text?
A. A news report. B. A child’s diary.
C. An advertisement. D. A book review.
D
When I was 15 or 16 years old, I used to enjoy staring out of my bedroom window at night, at the sky and
other houses. After a few minutes of focused attention, I would always reach a point where my vision shifted. The
clouds would suddenly look different, stranger and more real. They weren’t “clouds” anymore, but different
magical animal shapes that moved through space. The houses weren’t “houses” anymore-they were strange
geometric structures made up of jigsaw (拼图) patterns of bricks.
It’s difficult to describe the shift in my vision, but it always felt exciting, as if I was seeing through to the
heart of things, beneath a layer of familiarity.
In most situations, our perception is automatic. We see the familiar world, surrounded by objects and
phenomena that we perceived thousands of times before and don’t pay real attention to. In addition, we perceive
the world through filters (过滤器) of concepts. We have a conceptual label (or name) for everything we see. We
4
原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！label floating shapes in the sky as clouds; we label a masive variety of natural forms with spreading roots and
branches as trees. Through filters of familiarity and concepts, our perception of the world is like a faded black-
and-white image compared to a three-dimensional colour image.
This is why it always makes sense to side-step our normal familiar perception and perceive the world with
fresh vision, free of concepts and expectations, looking at objects as if they had never been seen before, or as if
they were other things.
We can see this in great artists. They go beyond familiarity and find a new way of seeing things. Familiar
everyday objects like fruit and flowers and bottles are filled with freshness and beauty in the great still-life
paintings of artists like Cezanne or Matisse. To look at paintings by Vincent van Gogh, such as Sunflowers, Irises
or Van Gogh’s Chair, makes you feel as if an extra dimension of reality has been revealed.
And of course, this is the reason why we love to go to art galleries to see such paintings. To look at them is
like going on vacation to a strange foreign country, a reminder of the raw beauty and wonder of the world, hidden
beneath our normal automatic vision.
12. How did the author look out of the bedroom window?
A. With full attention. B. In a normal way.
C. In astonishment. D. With great care.
13. What does the author really mean by saying “our perception is automatic” in paragraph 3?
A. We perceive the world all the time. B. We tend to look at things without thinking.
C. We have the ability to perceive the world.D. We are familiar with the world around us.
14. Why are great artists mentioned in the text?
A. To introduce new ways to create art. B. To show how real beauty is created.
C. To support what the author advocates. D. To argue for what the author did as a teenager.
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Creating a New World through Art B. Looking at the World with New Eyes
C. Appreciating the Beauty of Every Day D. Experiencing Life in Unfamiliar Environments

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Studies have shown that walking among trees makes us relaxed. 16 There’s plenty of research
showing the link between being in nature and being happy, but most of the research has focused on adults.
17 Explaining the motivation behind the study, researchers note that with environmental issues such
as global warming, more studies are focusing on the relationships between humans and nature to find solutions to
these problems, and the future of the planet lies in the hands of children and their actions. However, few studies
focus on this aspect.
For the study, researchers worked with 296 children between the ages of 9 and 12. To measure howconnected they were to nature, the kids were asked how much they enjoy activities like seeing wildflowers and
wild animals, hearing sounds of nature and touching animals and plants. 18 They also found that the more
concerned children were about the environment and nature, the more likely they were to be happy.
So exposure to nature is related to active behaviors and happiness of children. What does that mean to adults?
As we all know, children usually tend to follow adults, especially their parents’ behaviors. 19 And if
parents enjoy being close to nature, so will their children.
Researchers say that children need role models who can guide them to nature with excitement and an attitude
of a lifelong learner. Parents don’t have to be experts in environmental science or nature studies. 20
A. It’s so good going for a walk around trees.
B. Even just smelling the trees helps reduce anxiety.
C. That’s to say, when adults are outside and appreciate nature, kids learn by example.
D. What’s more important is that they spend time together with children exploring nature.
E. They found that the kids connected to nature were more likely to behave actively.
F. In a new study, researchers wanted to see if kids get the same benefits from being outdoors.
G. Researchers will study more about the connection between children’s happiness and nature.

We have all heard how time is more valuable than money, but is it 21 to have too much?
I 22 back in high school I spent most of my day at school since I also 23 a team sport. By
the time I got home, I only had a few hours to do my homework, and I had to do it 24 .
When I got into college, things 25 . I suddenly found myself out of class before noon time. Because
of all this 26 time, there was no sense of 27 to do my school work immediately. I was performing
this action of waiting until it later became 28 . Once that happened, I just kept 29 my studying
further and further back in my day. Then I got to the point where I was 30 really late at night to get my
work alone.
One day I met a former classmate of mine who was 31 a lot of money running a sideline. Since his
regular job was boring, I asked him why he just didn’t do his sideline full-time. He said without the job, he would
32 have too much time and would just do what I did back in college. He said that if he quit the job, he would
lose his 33 to work and succeed.
So, try 34 your time with other work. This is why there is a saying that if you want something done,
ask a 35 person to do it.

When Li Bai, Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng and others fly freely like elves into the colorful clouds, 36
line “together with you I’ll wipe out the cares often thousands ages” comes to life with vivid imagery; when the
magnificent Chang’an of the prosperous Tang Dynasty appeared, suddenly we understood 37 it meant
by “Looking back, I believe it must be Chang’an right at the end of the red sunset”. The movie Chang’an has
transformed many Tang poems that 38 (memorize) during school days into real scenes. If we treat it as
a textbook, the best way is naturally to preview before 39 (watch) the movie, and consolidate and
understand the poems after watching it.
40 the middle adulthood to the twilight years, Gao Shi’s and Li Bai’s destinies and encounters
41 (gradual) diverged further and further apart. Li Bai became famous as a young man, but in his old age he
made a mistake and ended up with 42 (charge) of rebellion. Lost and frustrated for most of his life, he
43 (choose) the wrong man and stood on the wrong side. On the other hand, Gao Shi achieved success in
44 (he) later years, taking every step cautiously. When 45 (face) with pleas for help from his good
friend, he could not do anything. It is not just a lesson in literature; it is more like a lesson in life.

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。
George was a driver and he spent so much time at his work that he could hardly have a meal together with his
wife and three children. In the evenings he attended classes, seeking to get knowledge that one day would help
him to find a better paying job.
George’s family often complained that he was not spending enough time with them, but his only answer was,
“I am doing all this for you and I work hard to provide my family with the best that I can.”
Soon after George had passed his exams, he received a good job offer with a salary, which was significantly
higher than he had before. So now George could provide his family with more expensive clothes, some luxury
items or vacations in foreign countries. It was like a dream come true, but family still did not get enough attention
from George, as he continued to work very hard and often, he did not get to see his family for most of the week.
Time passed and George’s hard work paid off-he was promoted. He decided to relieve his wife from
domestic works, so he hired a maid. He also decided that their flat was not big enough for their family and they
needed a more spacious one. Thus he needed to work even harder and, moreover, he continued his studies, so that
he would be promoted again. George worked so hard that sometimes he even had to spend his Sundays with his
clients instead of his wife and children. And again, whenever family asked for his time and complained that they
8

A bit later George was promoted, and he could buy a spacious house with a beautiful view. On the first
Sunday evening at their new home, George told his wife and kids now he decided not to take any studies or work
not so hard so that he could spend more time with his beloved family.
