A true friend is someone who stays with you for life.”31 teachers that he was right. Good friendship is just not easily 32.It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for a 33 friendship to develop. However, there can be no disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the 34 of friendship we want.To most of us, friendships are 35 very important, but we need to have clear in our minds the kinds of friendship we want. Are they to be close or kept at arm’s length?Do we want to share ourselves or do we want to walk on the 36 ? For some people, many friendships on the surface are quite enough and that’s all right. But at some points, we need to make sure that our expectations are the same as our friends’expectations. The 37 of personal experience including our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to deepen friendships. But it must be undertaken(进行) slowly and carried on only if there are signs of interest and action in return.What are some of the 38 of friendship? The greatest is the attraction to expect too much time. Another “major difficulty” is the selfishness to take actions too soon. Deep relationships 39 one “possesses” the other, including his time and attention. In other words, you must give as much as you take.

When第三部分阅读技能（共三节，满分35分）AIn a traditional Chinese family, women are expected to do the housekeeping and leave the “other business” to men. However, the appearance of the full-time “househusband” is changing traditional family.A survey in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen shows that 22 percent, 73 percent, 34 percent and 32 percent of white-collar male workers, aged between 28 and 33, would be prepared to do the housekeeping if the conditions were right.Yang Wenhui, 32 years old, worked at the office of a company prefer to quit the job. “My job was dull and steady. I was not promoted. My wife, in contrast, really likes her job. So, after our baby was born, I chose to stay at home and take care of the family while my wife works full-time outside the home,” said Yang.Sociologists have found the full-time househusband emerges in three main situations.Firstly, if the wife is ambitious, well-paid and has good job prospects, while her husband is paid poorly and has no job prospects, it makes economic sense for the woman to become the main income earner for the household. Secondly, if the wife istired of household chores and eager to work outside the home, her husband may forfeit his job. Thirdly, if the husband can do his work at home, he may take this choice as it allows him more time to take care of the family.Influenced by traditional ideas, some families with full-time househusbands prefer others not to know about their arrangement, concerned people would laugh at a husband with “no prospects” or wife who is “too strong”.Zhou Wei said he has become usual to being a full-time househusband although his relatives doubted this when they gathered during the holidays. “A happy life is the most important thing, not other peoples’ opinions,” added Zhou.41. The reason for Yang Wenhui quitting his job is that ________.A. it is too difficult for him to do itB. it is too boring for him to do itC. he is too old to go on doing itD. his wife wanted him to quit it42. In which situation is a man unlikely to become a full-time househusband?A. He can earn enough money to keep family and has a good job prospects.B. He can earn much less than his wife and will never get promoted.C. His wife hates housework and is busy with her work outside.D. His job can be done at home and he would like stay at home.43. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. A full-time househusband is a man without prospects in life.B. A full-time househusband is much weaker than his wife.C. A full-time househusband is willing to share his experience with his relatives.D. A full-time househusband can also enjoy happiness from housework.44. The underlined word “forfeit” probably means ________.A. appreciateB. quitC. continueD. escape(B)Why you may wonder, should spiders be our friends? Because they destroy so many insects, including some of the greatest enemies of the human race. Insects would make it impossible for us to live in the world; they would devour (吞食) all our crops and kill our cattle, if it were not for the protection we get from insect-eating animals. We owe a lot to the birds and beast who eat insects, but all of them put together kill only a very small amount of the number destroyed by spiders. Moreover, unlike some of the insect eaters, spiders never do the least harm to us or our belongings. Spiders are not insects, as many people think, nor even nearly related to them. One can tell the difference almost at a glance, for a spider always has eight legs and an insect never more than six.How many spiders are engaged in the work on our behalf (利益)? One authority （权威人士）on spiders made a research on spiders and found that there were more than 2,250,000 in one acre (英亩); that is something like 6,000,000 spiders of different kinds on a football field. Spiders are busy for at least half the year in killing insects. It is impossible to make more than the wildest guess at how many they kill, but they are hungry creatures, not content with only three meals a day. It has been estimated that the weight of all the insects destroyed by the spiders in Britain in one year would be greater than the total weight of all human beings in the country.45. Spiders should be our friends, because __________.A. they only eat harmful insectsB. they are great insect-eating animalsC. they destroy large numbers of insects which do harm to the human raceD. their harmfulness is the least46. One authority on spiders estimated ________.A. that there were more than 2,250,000 insects in a grass field in the south ofEnglandB. that every football field in England had 6,000,000 spiders.C. the quantity of different spiders in England was very bigD. that there were 6,000,000 kinds of spiders on a football field47. What does the underlined word “content ” mean in the article? I t means ________.A. fedB. suppliedC. disappointedD. satisfied48. Which one of the following statements is the main idea?A. Spiders, the greatest insects-eating animals, protect us from being destroyedby harmful insects and they should be our friendsB. Spiders are not insects but in fact animals.C. There are great numbers of spiders engaged in destroying harmful insects onbehalf of the human race.D. The weight of the insects eaten by spiders in one year is greater than the weightof all people in EnglandCSeveral years ago I was 13 years old. I still remember to this day where I was and how it all came down. I was in my social studies classroom, when a teacher came back and told us that the first building of the World Trade Center was hit by a plane. We immediately stopped our work and turned on the TV. Throughout half the day we watched TV until the school was forced to let all us home early. I walked home and I immediately turned on the TV and watched until my bedtime. I remember always seeing the towers walking to my Tae Kwon Do school; to me, a boy of teenage, it was a great thing because at that time I had never seen any other building that caught my eye as much as they did. And walking to my school that day was just a horrifying dream. Crossing the busy road of the Bell Pike was a big cloud of smoke and dust. It was very upsetting. Every day after that horrific(恐怖的) day I looked up to the once-stood Twin Towers just to see nothing there. To my eyes, that day will always be in my mind and in my heart, even though I didn’t lose any loved ones, I still feel the pain as if I did. September11th, 2001 will never be forgotten.49. Where was the writer when the tragedy took place>A. He was in the classroom.B. He was at home.C. He was on the way to school.D. He was on the playground.50. When did the writer always see the Twin Towers?A. When he was having classes.B. When he was watching TV.C. When he was walking to school.D. When he was dreaming.51. What did the underlined word “they” refer to?A. Other buildings.B. The Twin TowersC. Schools.D. Busy roads.52. What was the writer’s purpose to write this passage?A. To report an accident.B. To warn people of the accident.C. To teach people a moral lesson.D. To share one of his life stories with others.第二节回答问题（共3小题，每小题2分，满分6分）阅读下面短文，根据第53至55小题的具体要求，简要回答问题，并将答案转写到答题卡上。

The show is said to have the largest collection of new electronic devices (设备) in the world.The show had many examples of “smart home”devices. “Smart home”technology is designed to make life easier for people by letting computers control many things inside our homes. One such device actually begins working outside the home, when someone arrives and rings the doorbell.“When someone comes to your front door and rings the doorbell, the light can turn on immediately. I get information when I’m halfway around the world that someone came, and I can start talking to the person who’s at my front door, and I can say, ‘Oh, here let me let you in,’I can unlock the door for them very easily.”Said Vivint, a smart home service provider.One electronics maker developed a device that lets people see and interact (互动) with their animals when they are away. The device, from Petcube, lets you remotely watch and talk to your pet through a personal device, according to a company official.For heating or cooling, there is a smart thermostat. This device can also send you a message if a big storm causes leaks of flooding. “We’re trying to catch it with just a few drops before it becomes a real big problem,”said Mike Sale of iDevices.A concern for many homeowners is the possibility that someone else might find a way to attack these smart home devices. An official from Vivint said his company is sure that only owners of the home can gain use of information on the devices. Warren Katz from iDevices said his company employs engineers from the defence industry to help prevent hacking (黑客攻击).28. What can be learned about the show?A. It is the largest show ever held.B. It only exhibited smart home devices.C. It created much attraction to consumers.D. It has been held in Las Vegas many times.29. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 3?A. To explain how to answer the door.B. To show how a smart home device works.C. To tell a story about nice devices.D. To introduce a home service provider.30. What may happen in the future according to the given examples?A. Computers may replace human workers one day.B. A stranger can enter your house even if you’re out.C. The house can repair for itself if a storm causes damage.D. You can take good care of your animals while you’re away.31. What can be inferred about the smart home device from the last paragraph?A. Its safety can be guaranteed at present.B. Information on the devices is easy to get.C. Many of the devices are not available now.D. Homeowners are concerned about its operation.5.（8分）DA voice-controlled robot designed to serve the elderly, iPal performed a song from a classic Chinese opera, amusing the crowd with its sweet voice and exaggerated(夸张的) gestures at the 2018 World Robot Conference in Beijing.The robot reacts to touch and voice, turning its head towards elderly users and offering simple conversations. Besides singing opera, it can give weather reports and remind users to take their medicine.“iPal is designed to meet the needs of the elderly, especially China's empty-nesters, as it can help to reduce their loneliness and make sure of their safety. The robot, for example, can send a live feed of its elderly users to their children or relatives. It can also send alerts(警报) if users are injured or someone is breaking into their home.”said Wang Wenping, marketing director of the robot's producer AvatarMind, a Nanjing-based robotics company."China's population is aging rapidly. However, senior care services are not sufficient to cover the growing demand. The elderly need to be cared for, and yet their children are often busy with work. This gives intelligent service robots a role to play in the future. We see a big market potential." Wang said.AvatarMind is among the many Chinese robotics companies that plan to step into the senior care market.Though senior care robots have gained attention at exhibitions and received some market recognition, Chinese robotics companies still face great challenges."Robots are only beginning to enter China's senior care market. It takes a lot of time and money to improve our products and attract new customers," said Wang Wenping. "We need to make progress in combining robotics with AI(人工智能）and big data to make our robots smarter."But Wang added that robots can help entertain and look after the elderly who live alone, but care from family is what really matters.32. What can we learn about iPal?A. It can fully meet the needs of the elderly.B. It is the best robot to serve the elderly.C. It can serve the elderly in many ways.D. It is very popular among the elderly.33. Which is closest to the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 4?A. Enough.B. Popular.C. Intelligent.D. Patient.34. What is the main challenge AvatarMind is faced with?A. Its robots are not accepted by the elderly at all.B. The prices of robots are still too high.C. There is a long way to go to perfect their robots.D. There is too much foreign competition in the market.35. What is the most important to the elderly according to Wang Wenping?A. Making the robots smart enough.B. Family care for the elderly.C. Making the robots attractive.D. Combining robots with AI and big data.三、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）6.（10分）Whether it’s at work or home, we all get stressed out. 36 It also gets in the way of managing relationships and affects how you think and behave. Here are some ways to deal with stress, when it comes knocking your door.Take deep breathsIt is one of the easiest things you can do that produces immediate stress relief. 37 This has a direct effect on reducing stress or controlling anger felt by body, and mind.38There is an eastern saying that joys double and sorrows halve when you share them with someone. Find someone you trust to discuss your stressfulsituation and pour your heart out. This will certainly help reduce your stress levels.Spend time with natureThink about this. We are all part and product of nature, so isn't it natural that spending time with nature should have a restorative(恢复的) effect on us, similar to what a child feels when held by its mother! 39 A simple walk in the park should do wonders for our stressed mind, most of time.Laugh stress away40 Turn the corners of your mouth up into a smile and then givea laugh, even if it feels a little forced. Once you've had a laugh, asses(评价) how you're feeling. Are your muscles a little less tense? Do you feel more relaxed? That's the natural wonder of laughing.A. Find someone to shareB. Go ahead and give it a try.C. Laughter is the best medicine.D. Most stress is made up in our own mind.E. We don't necessarily need to hike in woods.F.

B．A website. C．A textbook. D．A magazine.BThe 97-year-old botanist, Margaret Bradshaw, is the chief caretaker of Teesdale’s rarest flowers. “Everything about Teesdale is unique,” says Bradshaw with pride—and the authority of someone who has just written a 288-page book on the subject. Bradshaw has been recording rare plants here since the early 1950s and has witnessed great decreases. Her data was the first to prove that—and the need to do something about it.The main reason for the decrease of these plants is an unusual one. The number of sheep in Teesdale had been reduced by half by 2000, as the uplands were generally believed there were too many sheep. Bradshaw says while sheep are hunted in some upland areas, reducing herding in Teesdale has been destructive. Longer grass overshadows the delicate (娇嫩) flowers, taking away the light they need to grow. As a result of her findings and her work with farmers who herd the land—as well as Natural England, which manages it—sheep numbers are increasing and the timing of herding is being carefully managed. This has led to the partial recovery of some plants.At 93, she set up Teesdale Special Flora Research and Conservation Trust to record rare plants. A keen horse rider, at 95, she did a 55-mile horse journey across Teesdale, raising almost $ 10,000 for the Trust. When asked about the secret to longevity, “Just keep going,” she says.“Keep at it. Don’t sit down and just watch TV.”“I recognise I’m getting older and I’ve been trying to get more people to take over and do the records. Thev don’t believe I won’t be here forever.” Bradshaw says. Despite Bradshaw’s guardianship of this land, and the love and energy she has put into saving it, the future here is unknown. The last words of her book speak to this endless loss. “This is our heritage, this unique plant species, mine and yours,” she writes. “In spite of trying, I have failed to prevent its decrease, now it is up to you.”4．What is Margaret Bradshaw’s main work with the rare plants?A．Writing a book. B．Preventing their decrease.C．Collecting their data. D．Directing farmers to grow plants:5．What contributed to the reduction of rare plants in Teesdale?A．Not enough sheep. B．Lack of fund.C．Poor management. D．Too many sheep. 6．What can we learn from Bradshaw’s words in the last paragraph?A．Unity brings strength. B．Many hands make light work.C．Youthful at heart, regardless of age. D．Advance what the forerunners began.7．Which might be a suitable title for the text?A．Teesdale: Home to Rare Plants B．Battling for Teesdale’s Wildflowers C．Bradshaw: A 97-Year-Old Gardener D．Exploring Teesdale’s Unique PlantsCFlash droughts (突发性干旱) develop fast, and when they hit at the wrong time, they can ruin a region’s agriculture. They are also becoming increasingly common as the planet warms. In a study, published in the journalCommunication Earth & Environment, we found that—the risk of flash droughts, which can develop in a few weeks, is on pace to rise in every major agricultural region around the world in the coming decades.In North America and Europe, cropland that had a 32% annual chance of a flash drought a few years ago could have a greater chance of a flash drought by the final decades of this century. That result would put food production, energy, and water supplies under increasing pressure. The cost of ravage will also rise A flash drought in the Dakotas and Montana in 2017 caused $2.6 billion reduction in agricultural in America alone.All droughts begin when rainfall stops. What’s interesting about flash droughts is how fast they reinforce themselves, with some help from the warming climate. When the weather is hot and dry, soil loses water rapidly. Dry air extracts moisture from the land, and rising temperature can increase this evaporative demand. The lack of rain during a flash drought can further contribute to the feedback processes. Under these conditions, crops and vegetation begin to die much more quickly than they do during typical long-term droughts.In our study, we used climate models and data from the past 170 years to assess the drought risks ahead under three conditions for how quickly the world takes action to slow the pace of global warming. If greenhouse gas emissions (排放物) from vehicles, power plants, and other human sources continue at a high rate, we found that cropland in much of North America and Europe would have a 53% annual chance of flash droughts respectively, by the final decades of this century. Globally, the largest projected increases in flash droughts would be in Europe and the Amazon Slowing emıssıons can reduce the risk significantly, but we found flash droughts would still increase by about 6% worldwide under low-emission conditions.8．Why is the flash drought a concern?A．It often develops and strikes unexpectedly B．It does go hand in hand with rainfall.C．It can be destructive to regional agriculture. D．Its chance has increased dramatically.9．What does the underlined word “ravage” mean in paragraph 2?A．Control. B．Assessment. C．Productions D．Damage.10．Which of the following is a direct contributor to flash droughts?A．The constant rainfall. B．The increasing food demand.C．The warming planet. D．The fast pace of modern life11．What can be done to reduce the drought risks according to the last paragraph?A．To cut down on carbon footprint B．To evaluate the risks regularlyC．To study climate models and data. D．To monitor weather condition:DOn September 9, 2024, Apple released its latest iPhone 16 series at an event called “It’s: Glowtime”. At the event, Tim Cook, the company’s CEO, played up the promise of the phones’ AI features in a pre-recorded video Indeed, the demonstration seemed impressive. When Cook pointed the camera at a restaurant, the AI assistant Siri could tell him what was on the menu. It also could answer his questions fairly well and learn about the users from their interactions with their devices. For instance, Siri could know if a user’s mother was calling and acted appropriately.Apple is one of many firms that want to take AI beyond huge data centres, known as the cloud, and run it on smaller devices, known as the edge. Samsung, Apple’s major competitor, launched its Galaxy S24 with some AIfeatures earlier this year. So did Microsoft, which has launched Windows PCs designed for AI. But their efforts have shown that it is not easy to shift cloud-based AI models to the edge devices.At present, cloud-based AI models are mostly trained on graphics processing units (GPUs) that consume so much energy that it can take a nuclear-power plant to fuel them. They also need huge amounts of memory and data. All these can cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Even once they are trained, running these AI models is costly. According to one estimate, it costs OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, 36 cents every time someone asks its AI model a question.Companies are experimenting with various solutions to these problems. Apple will offer on-device AI to deal with the easiest tasks, but send trickier problems to the firm’s private cloud. The service will direct the most difficult requests to third-party models such as ChatGPT. But even such smaller on-device AI models require-a lot of computing power to run which puts huge stress on the edge devices’ batteries.“Making the technology work could not only start a supercycle in device sales. but also create new opportunities for apps and digital advertising,” says Neil Shah of Counterpoint, a research firm. “But for the moment, edge devices are barely ready for basic functions, let alone Glowtime.”12．What is the second paragraph mainly about?A．The Glowtime event. B．iPhone 16’s AI featuresC．Tim Cook’s performance. D．The future of AI phones13．Why are Samsung and Microsoft mentioned in the Text?A．To tell readers how bad competition can be.B．To warn Apple of the potential consequences.C．To compare their newly released edge devices.D．To show how hard it is to apply Al to edge devices.14．What is the problem with cloud-based AI models?A．OpenAI charges too much money. B．All of them have to be trained on GPUs.C．It is too expensive to train and run them. D．They can only deal with the easiest tasks. 15．What does Neil Shah most probably imply?A．iPhone 16 is bound to disappoint its users.B．AI phones’ success will depend on new apps. C．Sales of AI phones will increase greatly soon D．Tim Cook was not honest with the AI features第二节（共5题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）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。
