B Have you got the information taught by your teacher in class? Have you understood what you saw on the screen? Maybe everyone has their own learning style. Generally speaking, we gather information with our minds and bodies in different ways, such as seeing, hearing and doing. Then our brains deals with that information, organizing it and connecting it to things we are already aware of. In other words, our brains will deal with the information in different ways. Sometimes we think in pictures or words. Sometimes we remember details or the big pictures. For different people, their learning styles are different too. One person may find it hard to make out the information in written forms but easy to know it immediately in an oral description. However, another person might find difficulties with the picture but the written message. Now scientists say there exist seven basic learning styles. ·Linguistic: These people learn through listening, reading, speaking and writing.

湖北省武汉市常青联合体2023-2024学年高二上学期期中联考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Modern life is evolving fast. Think about how much things have changed even in the last twenty years. This rate of change isn’t slowing down. If anything, it’s increasing. Technology is augmenting (提高) human life in all kinds of ways.Electric CarsThe way that we approach motor vehicles has changed. Electric cars are the response to the pollution of gas vehicles. For a long time, electric vehicles were inaccessible. They were expensive and unattainable. Things have changed. Now electric automobiles are cheaper than ever. They are similarly priced as regular gas vehicles. Furthermore, car charging stations are more common. More are being installed on the streets and in parking lots. Soon electric cars will be as common as gas vehicles. It is changing our way of life by alleviating pollution.Virtual RealityVirtual reality (VR) is a part of technological advance that will continue to change the way we live for years to come. VR will change entertainment. With a headset, you don’t just watch a video. You are a part of it. You can experience things digitally. It provides immersion (沉浸) that is difficult to accomplish otherwise.Augmented RealityBeyond entertainment, augmented reality (AR) , when you use the organic environment with the technology, will facilitate medicine. Remote surgeries can be performed with AR on the 5G Internet. These technologies can also help terminal patients (whose illness cannot be cured and will lead to death) find a new state of mind. There is no shortage of the number of ways that AR will change the way we live.Artificial Intelligence Artificial intelligence (AI) uses machine learning to recognize patterns, create algorithms and analyze data. AI can synthesize (综合) all the information available to it. AI can excel to the optimal point in effectiveness productivity. It is used for many different purposes. There is no end to how Al will improve human life. It isn’t just used to improve social media sites to show consumers advertisements for products they might want to buy. It can perform all kinds of tasks out of thin air.1．According to the passage, what’s the advantage of electric cars?A．More eco-friendly B．Less expensive than othersC．Conveniently installed D．commonly visible2．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．The price of electric cars is similar to all other vehicles.B．Achieving the effect of immersion is tough for VR.C．AR can provide dying people with a new mindset.D．Al has enhanced human life indefinitely.3．What does the underlined word “optimal” probably mean in the last paragraph?A．productive B．splendid C．effective D．diverseLocated on the bank of the Yellow River, Zhuangshang village in Yuncheng, Shanxi province, still has ancient temples and cave dwellings (窑洞) , some of which have a history of more than 800 years.But now, it has received a new label: a “zero-carbon” village, as recognized by the United Nations Development Programme.It starts with a new system. The old caves have been armed with a modern solar power system. The system, developed by Golden Cooperate Information and Automation Technology Co, can provide direct current (DC) power, to the homes of residents, rather than converting between DC and alternating current (AC) . It is the key to helping the village achieve carbon neutrality, China Daily reported on Aug 30.“Residents can directly use electricity that is produced from panels installed on their roofs without buying power from the grid (电力网) ,” Chen Wenbo, the company’s president, told China Daily. “The system has no effect on the stability of the power grid. It is safe and can improve energy efficiency.”Safe, reliable and green, the low-voltage DC power distribution technology now enables each local household to generate about 4, 000 kilowatt hours (千瓦时) of electricity per year.That solves more than 90 percent of the power consumption, according to Yuncheng Daily. “I can save at least 3, 000 yuan every year on charges for electricity and fuel,” resident Chen Jiuhong told China Daily. “Plus, without any fire wood or coal in the house, the environment has become cleaner and more comfortable.”“In my house, electrical appliances, such as rice cookers and electric heaters, havereplaced traditional gas stoves and coal-fired heating,” said Chen. According to preliminary calculations, each household will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 7, 000 kilograms per year, Yuncheng Daily reported.In dealing with climate change, China aims to peak its carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and realize carbon neutrality before 2060. According to Chen Wenbo, the solar power system will be widely spread throughout Zhuangshang village. He also hopes the village will be a model for the country’s energy revolution.4．What is essential to the village’s carbon neutrality?A．Switching between DC and AC．B．Buying power from the grid.C．Providing electricity directly from the panels.D．Not influencing the grid’s stable state.5．Which of the following may be the advantages of the new system?A．inexpensive and efficient B．appropriate and extraordinaryC．replaceable and crucial D．dependable and eco-friendly 6．According to the passage, how much electricity does each household probably consume annually?A．3600B．4000C．4400D．5000 7．Where is the passage likely to come from?A．a travel journal B．a book review C．a biography D．a news reportA cancer diagnosis no longer means what it used to. Just a few decades ago, the survival rate beyond five years was less than 50%. Now, nearly 70% of those who get cancer survive that long. Why? Because, chemotherapy (化疗) and radiation (放疗) , once the only heavy hitters of cancer treatment, are being paired with or replaced by a slate of new drugs and treatments.For example, the first medication for what was previously considered an “undruggable” lung cancer mutation was recently approved in the United States, Canada, Europe and the U. K.And a brand-new precision chemotherapy drug delivered directly to breast cancer tumor cells is giving hope to patients.An even bigger newsmaker has been the promise of a treatment called immunotherapy (免疫疗法) , as researchers around the world have discovered ways to harness the body’sown immune system to battle cancer cells.Also driving hope is a focus on prevention. Decades of research and public education have led to greater awareness of how lifestyle changes can reduce our risk of developing cancer. According to an article from the journal Pharmaceutical Research , 90% to 95% of cancers can be attributed to environment and lifestyle, rather than to genetic factors.Here are some of the advances scientists are making against cancer.PREVENTIONCervical cancer was once one of the most common women’s cancers. In recent decades, Pap test screening led to a decline. But a preventive tool in use for more than a decade— a vaccine against the human papilloma virus (HPV) , which is responsible for more than 95% of cervical cancer cases-has been a game changer. Here’s how:Since 2006, when the vaccine was introduced in North America, HPV infections have dropped more than 80% among teen girls and young women in the United States.A study published in 2021 found that in England, where the immunization program was introduced in 2008, cervical cancer has been almost completely eliminated in women born since 1995 (those who were vaccinated at ages 12 or 13) .An 11-year Swedish study of 1. 7 million women published in 2020 indicated that women vaccinated before age 17 were 90% less likely to get cervical cancer.In March 2022, Australia announced that it was on track to become the first country to eliminate the cancer.The World Health Organization’s goal is for 90% of girls to be vaccinated globally by 2030, eventually eliminating cervical cancer entirely.8．How does the author mainly develop paragraph 1?A．by listing figures B．by giving examplesC．by making comparisons D．by providing facts9．Which of the following contribute to higher survival rate of cancer patients?A．chemotherapy and radiation B．immunotherapy and preventionC．a well-known chemotherapy drug and prevention D．immunotherapy and radiation 10．Which of the following is probably true according to the passage?A．Most cancers may be result from genetic factors.B．England has nearly eliminated cervical cancer in women born since 1995.C．A study showed women vaccinated before age 17 were unlikely to get cervical cancer.D．Australia had become the first country to be free of cervical cancer.11．What will be discussed after the passage?A．More countries’ information about treating cancer.B．How to achieve the WHO’s goal.C．Some more types of vaccines.D．Other progresses in fighting against cancer.The creation of life provides scientists with some of the most difficult questions of modem science. Why and how did cells first appear? Was this likely to have happened under the conditions then, or was it due to chance? Could this happen in other places in the universe?A group of scientists at University College London are trying to answer these questions. They started by studying the ways in which the first cells on Earth could have been formed. Next they will use a powerful new telescope to look at places far away in the universe. The scientists hope that the results will improve our understanding of the development of life on Earth and help us to find life on other planets.Professor Nick Lane, who is in charge of the University College London team, suggested that 4 billion years ago warm water springs on the floor of the Earth’s occan might have helped create life. Each spring consists of tiny connected holes that water passes through. The team have created models of these springs in their lab. They have found that springs encourage chemical reactions between hydrogen in the liquids and the carbon dioxide in the sea water.These reactions and changes show us how life on Earth and other planets could begin. When sea water goes through tiny holes in the Earth’s surface, it gets very hot and causes a chemical reaction with rocks. When this very hot water goes back up and meets the cold sea water again, other chemical reactions occur. Lane explains, the conditions needed for life are rock. water and carbon dioxide.Because the ingredients for life are basic and should be found all over the universe, there is a good chance that we could soon find signs of life on other planets. Furthermore, a new space satellite is going to start helping with this search. The satellite Twinkle" will be the first space satellite searching other planets for life.A team from University College London and Surrey Satellite Technology will send thesatellite into space in the next few years. When an exoplanet passes in front of its star, some of the light has to pass through the gases around that planet. Studying the light can help scientists to find out about the chemistry, temperature and weather conditions of the planet. This will allow them to find planets which could support life.12．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A．the scientists’ routine B．the researchers’ assumptionC．the research’s principle D．the research’s process13．What does the underlined word “springs” probably refer to in paragraph 3?A．seasons B．fountains C．jumps D．renews 14．Which of the following may directly allow scientists to find places supporting life in the universe?A．Using a powerful telescope B．Discovering all the exoplanetsC．Sending a satellite into space D．Researching gases around the planet 15．What may be the author’s attitude towards finding life in space?A．subjective B．vague C．negative D．optimistic二、七选五Why do children need to learn about the metaverse (元宇宙) now? Sci-fi novelist Haogrow up, and there would be more jobs like virtual reality device inventors, VR space designers, 3D modelers and avatar (虚拟化身) creators in the next 10 or 20 years.” Hao said.What exactly is needed to build a metaverse? 17 What’s more, how many people are needed?According to Li Zuxi, director of metaverse lab of Qingbo Intelligent Technology, the metaverse could refer to 3D virtual worlds. In these worlds, you could have your own personal virtual spaces or “rooms” to spend time with friends, study, work and much more.18 There are two ways to build your own metaverse in general.The easier way is to create a “room” with applications, mini programs or web pages that open “doors to virtual worlds” using metaverse platforms developed by different tech companies. It requires users to master the ability of spatial modeling (空间建模) as they need to construct their own preferred spaces. Then users could insert their own “spaces” intoInfinity Tower.19 “It is like building a house, and the process is very complex,” Li said. If you aim for this, you will need a team made up of architects, engineers, product managers, 3D designers and more.“But the most important thing is that you should have a sense of imagination,” Li added. “You need to imagine how to construct a virtual world that you’ve never seen in real life.20 ”A．How can children join in the metaverse?B．Or what can people do in the metaverse?C．What knowledge and skills are required to make it come to virtual life?D．The other is to build a brand new metaverse platform, like what Li and his teammates are doing.E．It could also be a VR world made using augmented reality technology.F．The metaverse might become the largest employment ecosystem to attract more talents.G．They could be more familiar with the metaverse.三、完形填空grandfather worked hard on the market’s management.

山东省青岛第二中学2023-2024高二上学期期中考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Down House, home of Charles Darwin:Fun factCharles Darwin, his wife, Emma, and their children lived at Down House for 40 years from 1838. Several rooms appear as if the family still live here: with croquet sets thrown into an under-stairs cupboard, a half-played game of backgammon on a side table and Emma’s knitting(毛线) left on a chair in the drawing room. Upstairs, an exhibition showcases Darwin’s voyage aboard HMS Beagle, including a reconstruction of his cabin. Outside, visitors can explore the sheltered gardens which Darwin used as an open-air laboratory, and the greenhouse in which he planted rare plants and devised botanical experiments.No room at Down House escaped Darwin’s experiments. In the drawing room he once placed a jar of earthworms on the grand piano to see whether they could hear.Getting thereA 15-minute drive from the A21/Farnborough. Free parking.

Nelson and her sister leaped out of the sauna, ran to the window, and saw the problem-the airport’s runway lights were out. Nelson threw on some clothes, jumped into her jeep, and floored it to the airport, where she found a local pilot trying to turn on the lights manually.Normally, if you push the button 10 or 15 times, the lights will just light up, Nelson told the reporter. Not this time. Meanwhile, she and the pilot learned of the plane’s exigent mission - it was a helicopter there to transport a seriously ill local girl, to the nearest hospital, 280 miles away in another city.Nelson had a plan. Driving her jeep to the end of the runway, she shone her headlights on the road for the plane to follow. Great idea, but it wasn’t enough. More light was needed so a neighbor called nearly every home in the village 32 of them.Within 20 minutes, 20 vehicles arrived at the airport, many of the drivers still in pajamas. Following directions from the helicopter pilot, the cars lined up on one side of the runway. The helicopter made its final approach and, guided by the headlights, landed safely. The young patient was loaded onto the aircraft, and the plane immediately took off again Her illness was never publicly known, but she has since been recovered.Without them, the girl might not have made it. However, for Nelson, it was only a small deed.4．What problem did the helicopter encounter?A．Its lights went out by accidentB．It made noise as it ran out of fuelC．It could not land safely in darkness.D．It didn’t arrive at the scheduled time5．What does the underlined word exigent in paragraph 3 probably mean?A．impossible B．unique C．intense D．urgent 6．What can we conclude from the passage?A．The girl has been in the hospital since her illness was reported.B．The creative thought and the sense of duty of Nelson led to the final landing.C．The helicopter was to transport the girl from the local hospital to another one.D．The villagers gathered so quickly because they were awake and ready to help. 7．What does this passage want to tell the readers?A．No way is impossible to courage.B．A friend in need is a friend indeedC．A small act of kindness makes a big difference.D．Where there is a wisdom. there is effectiveness.All human languages use vowels and consonants to express ideas. Most primates (灵长类) communicate almost using vowel-like calls, but non-human great apes, like chimpanzees, produce consonant-like sounds to varying degrees, This raises the question of wherestudied existing literature to see how common consonants are among the great apes.He found that orangutans (猩猩), which spend most of their time in the trees: produce a greater number and variety of consonant sounds than gorillas and chimpanzees living. on the ground. “Orangutans have rich sounds like kiss sounds, scrapes and clicks.” says Lameira. hey typically use these sounds while building nests or commencing with their young.Lameira thinks that living in the trees may explain that Great apes are experts at processing protected foods. Like nuts, which often requires tools. While living in trees however, orangutans must always use at least one arm to maintain stability. They have therefore developed more complex control of their lips, tongues and jaws, allowing them to use their mouths as a “fifth limb” orangutans can peel oranges just with lips, for example.This advanced motor skill enables orangutans make consonant-like sounds, argues Lameira. This could mean, that our early ancestors developed consonant sounds while hanging around in the trees, too. “ There’s a growing sense that our dependency on trees was much larger and deeper than we think,” says Lameira.The link between feeding and sounds doesn’t apply to smaller tree-living primates likemonkeys, argues Lameira, because their size and tails make them more stable on branches and they eat differently“This is an interesting assumption worth testing,” says Chris Petkov at Newcastle University, though he questions some aspects. As humans aren’t tree living, there must be other reasons why consonants remain, which could be tested by characterising consonant-like sounds more systematically across species, he says8．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to?A．Why vowels and consonants are usedB．What ideas the consonants express.C．How common the consonants are.D．Where the consonants came from9．What fact can support Adriano Lamerica’s assumption about orangutans?A．They build nests with their young.B．They are skillful in employing toolsC．They gain advanced motor skill of mouthsD．They show stability in controlling arms.10．What can we infer from Adriano Lameira’s findings?A．Monkeys differ from orangutans in eating habits.B．Our ancestors depended more on trees than believed.C．Consonant sounds were made by our earliest, ancestors.D．The link between feeding and sounds applies to monkeys11．What is Chris Petkov’s attitude to Adriano Lameira’s assumption ?A．Confident B．Cautious C．Opposed D．PuzzledPeople who sleep fewer than six hours a night are more likely to die early, researchers in University of Warwick have found in a recent study. They discovered that people who slept for less than six hours each night were 12% more likely to die before the age of 65 than those who slept the recommended six to eight hours a nightThe researchers pointed out that previous studies had shown that the lack of sleep was associated with problems like heart disease and high blood pressure. However, the researchers also found that sleeping too much was linked to an early death. Those who slept for more than nine hours a night were 30% more likely to die early, as an article in the latest Sleepsuggested. That directly contradicts another passage in the same journal last month suggesting that people who slept for ten hours or longer a night were more likely to live to 100. This was thought to be because people who lived into extreme old age were healthier and therefore slept better.However, the authors of the latest research contradicted this and suggested that long sleep was a sign of underlying illnesses such as depression and low levels of physical activity. Professor Francesco Cappuccio at the University of Warwick said: “While short sleep may represent a cause of ill-health, long sleep is believed to represent more an indicator of ill – health.”He also mentioned: Modern society has seen a gradual reduction in the average amount of sleep people take, and this pattern is more common among full-time workers suggesting that it may be due to social pressures for longer working hours. On the other hand, the worsening of our health is often accompanied by an extension of our sleeping time.”Consistently sleeping six to eight hours per night may be good for health. However, whether to achieve the goal depends on various factors such as the environment as well as measures of public health aimed at favourable changes of the s working environments Professor Francesco Cappuccio added.12．What did researchers in University of Warwick find?A．Six to eight hours’ sleep can be appropriate for people.B．People at an old age are healthier because they sleep longer.C．People who sleep fewer than 6 hours each night die before 65.D．Sleeping for more than 9 hours a night does good to one’s health.13．What is Professor Francesco Cappuccio most likely to agree with?A．How long we sleep depends on our educationB．Our health becomes worse because we sleep lessC．Modern people sleep less because they work longerD．Long sleep is what causes our health problems14．What did the researcher think may help people have proper sleep?A．Social pressure B．Extension of sleeping time.C．Longer working hours D．Changes of working environments. 15．What can be the best title for this passage?A．Time to Sleep early B．How Long Should We SleepC．The Importance of Sleep D．Longer Sleep Makes Better Health二、七选五More than 40 percent of Antarctica’s ice shelves have reduced in the past 25 years, potentially accelerating sea level rise by allowing more landice to flow into the ocean.16 They play a critical role in slowing the flow of ice on land into the ocean by essentially acting as a wall and surround nearly the entire coastline of Antarctica. When ice shelves thin or retreat(消退), ice on the land can flow into the ocean more quickly and accelerate sea level rise.Healthy ice shelves naturally retreat and grow over time. An ice shelf is continuously flowing and advancing but will also lose mass through melting or calving, which is when its front breaks off into the ocean. 17 But the large portion of steadily shrinking ice shelves shows this natural cycle is off.In West Antarctica, the Getz Ice Shelf experienced some of the biggest ice losses, shedding 1.9 trillion tons of ice over the study period. Most ice shelves in East Antarctica however, increased in volume or stayed the same. 18 Region is protected by a band of cold water at the coast, which helps keep nearby warm water at bay. Even so, the study still showed pockets of shrinking ice shelves, and researchers are still investigating the reasons.19The current ice shelf data set is not long enough for researchers to definitively make climate change connection yet, but it would be a ” remarkable coincidence if the natural variability in ice shelves were just that much larger. 20 But we don’t need to hit it before seeing an effect on the planet.A．Then it can gain ice from the land and grow againB．Ice shelves are massive floating sections of ice extending from glaciers on land.C．The east is not as exposed to the warm water like the other side of the continent.D．The thinning of the ice shelves has shown up in the surrounding environment, too.E．Ice shelves not just the big ones, are. steadily losing mass over time with no sign of recoveryF．One theory is that the warmer water on the western side could be slowly coming in the region.G．Additionally, climate models predict ice shelves will steadily shrink in a warming world as observed, eventually hitting a tipping point for ice sheet collapse.三、完形填空During my freshman year at Brooklyn College, credit card companies were eager to earnof late payment.23 basic financial literacy (金融素养) meant many college students started off their adult lives with poor credit. 24 they faced challenges later in life when they needed to borrow money but couldn’t 25 a low-interest loan. Poor credit 26 me past college and years into my teaching career. That has fueled my sense of 27 to teach the next generation of students about personal finance. It’s why I helped develop a personal finance course for teens and young adults.To make the class as 28 as possible, we asked the students what 29 interested them. They were curious to know about buying homes and cars. Our course, intended for those aged between 14 and 21, has them 30 questions: How much do I need to save to make these purchases? Which purchases do I prioritize (优先考虑)?We, educators, can help young people 31 life after graduation, as there are many great 32 and developing our course was 33 than I had expected which is why I hope more schools and youth organizations will offer financial education.Financial literacy shouldn’t be optional because it puts those without it at a significant 34 . And if my 35 as a student and an educator have taught me anything, it’s that no one should have to learn important financial lessons the hard way. 21．A．Attracted B．Sponsored C．Required D．Dominated 22．A．conditions B．benefits C．consequences D．processes 23．A．Displaying B．Maintaining C．Abandoning D．Lacking 24．A．However B．Therefore C．Otherwise D．Instead 25．A．guarantee B．generate C．demand D．settle 26．A．turned B．guided C．followed D．tricked 27．A．independence B．responsibility C．achievement D．identity28．A．touching B．surprising C．engaging D．inspiring 29．A．words B．titles C．courses D．topics 30．A．posing B．considering C．examining D．tackling 31．A．search for B．pay for C．prepare for D．care for 32．A．questions B．paths C．examples D．resources 33．A．easier B．cheaper C．safer D．stricter 34．A．distance B．disadvantage C．point D．corner 35．A．duties B．abilities C．ambitions D．experiences四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

The green-fingered expert ends his journey on the island of Lopud, near Dubrovnik.1．If you are interested in rock music, which channel will you choose to watch the program?A．C5.B．Film 4.C．BBC 4.D．BBC 2.2．What kind of movie is The Girl In The Spider’s Web?A．A thriller.B．A documentary.C．A romantic film D．An action movie.3．In which column of a newspaper can the passage be found?A．Culture.B．Fashion.C．Science.D．Entertainment.“It’s incredible. I never thought my dream would come true so soon,” Chinese ballet dancer Chun Wai Chan recalled the scene when he got the news in May that he was promoted to the principal dancer with New York City Ballet (NYCB), the company’s first Chinese and fourth Asian principal dancer in 74 years.Born in Huizhou City, South China’s Guangdong Province in 1992, Chan has become attached to dance since childhood. However, his parents preferred him to be a doctor or a lawyer in the future. The uncompromising boy then wrote a seven-page letter to his parents describing his determination to study dance.Thanks to the sincere letter, Chan finally gained the support of his family, and at the age of 12, he was admitted to Guangzhou Arts School, marking the start of his dream-seeking journey. Chan’s first turning point in life came at the age of 18, when he was a finalist in the 2010 Prix de Lausanne, which earned him a full scholarship to study with Houston Ballet’s second company, Houston Ballet II. Two years later, Chan joined Houston Ballet and became a principal in 2017. There, he gained a reputation as a confident and sensitive performer. In 2020, he appeared as a contestant on the Chinese television show Dance Smash on Hunan Satellite TV, which gained him a large following.Chan returned to New York last year, and was finally promoted to the principal dancer with the NYCB in May this year. He attributes his success to his passion, hard work, concentration, perseverance and the pursuit of excellence.In China, Chan’s success has become a source of pride. News of his promotion to principal dancer was widely circulated, and he has been featured repeatedly in the Chinese media, under headlines like “The Ballet Knight” and “After Dance Smash, he conquered New York.”After performances, audience members sometimes tell Chan that they have never seen Asian dancers in leading roles. He has been moved to hear young dancers of color say his example has given them hope for their own careers. “I used to think I danced just for myself,”he said. “Now I’m dancing for my family, for the audience, for the whole dance community.”4．What can we learn about Chan?A．He is the first Asian principal dancer.B．He is fond of dancing when he was young.C．His parents have supported him from the beginning.D．He gained the popularity in the 2010 Prix de Lausanne.5．What does the underlined word “uncompromising” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Fearless.B．Cautious.C．Thoughtful.D．Determined. 6．Which of the following can best describe Chan?A．Generous and considerate.B．Passionate and devoted.C．Warm-hearted and ambitious.D．Perseverant and talented7．Chan changed his opinion about the significance of dancing because ________.A．he got a lot of praises from the audience B．he had been promoted to principal dancer C．he realized his dance inspired other dancers D．he received persistent support from his familyA lot of businesses are started by people who have hobbies or special talents and want to turn these interests into a business. But switching from a hobby to a real business requires business know-how and investments, which stops many people. However, an increasing number of ambitious business owners have found a way to take a first step. They are taking their dreams and talents on the road—in vans and lorries, and even horse trucks.Beginning on a small scale has its advantages, the most important of which is the relatively modest size of start-up costs. These costs, which consist primarily of, the vehicle and any required equipment, usually come to about only £5,000-£10,000. With such tightly controlled costs, mobile businesses often break even in a year or two; in contrast, success comes to brick-and-mortar businesses much more slowly, and they often fail within the first two years. In short, mobile businesses are relatively low-risk.The first entrepreneurs (企业家) to do this have been in the food business. The mobile food vendor trend in the US and Europe has spread to other parts of the globe. The success of these street food vans has inspired other entrepreneurs to consider starting out on wheels.UK entrepreneurs could take inspiration from the US where, today, there are vehicles that sell flowers, shoes, clothes and all kinds of specialty food items. There are also mobilebusinesses that provide services, such as hair styling, pet grooming and repair of high-tech devices. Mobile retail is not without problems, however. Weather, the increasing price of fuel, and just finding a place to set up are all challenges that mobile entrepreneurs have to deal with. These business owners, however, feel the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. In the US, the mobile food business alone generates an average annual revenue of $857 million.Once convinced that their business has achieved enough success, some successful mobile entrepreneurs move on to a brick-and-mortar business. Others are satisfied to stay mobile. As stand-alone businesses or as extensions of shops, mobile retail has huge future potential in these economic times.8．What’s the major cause for the rise of mobile business?A．High profit.B．Strong interest.C．Low investment.D．Convenient transport.9．How does the author prove the advantages of the mobile business in paragraph 2?A．By quoting a famous saying.B．By giving an exampleC．By providing an explanation.D．By making a comparison.10．Which of the following will make it harder for the owners to run the business?A．The vehicle care.B．The business permit.C．The terrible storm.D．The insufficient supply.11．What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of mobile business?A．Negative.B．Positive.C．Unconcerned.D．Neutral.On holiday, many will find themselves in places where they do not speak the language. Once upon a time, they might have carried a phrasebook. The rise of English has made that less necessary. But most people still do not speak English. That leaves options like gestures, or, increasingly, technology.Google Translate may be the best-known name in machine translation, but it often goes wrong. Take “my wife is gluten-free,” the kind of thing you might say at a restaurant abroad. In French or Italian, Google Translate interprets this as “my wife is without gluten (谷蛋白)” — true to the words rather than the meaning.The best tool may not be a translation app at all. ChatGPT, an AI system that generates articles according to users’ instructions, is multilingual. Users can tell ChatGPT to “write a message in Spanish to a waiter that my wife and I would like the tasting menu, but that she isgluten-free, so we would like substitutions for anything that has gluten.” And out pops a perfect paragraph, including the way Spanish-speakers actually say “my wife is gluten-free”: mi esposa es celiaca. It is more like having a native-speaking dinner companion.Travel has long been a motivator for study — unless people start to feel AI tools offer a good-enough service. Some are concerned that apps are turning language learning into a decreasing pursuit. Douglas Hofstadter, a polyglot and polymath writer, has argued that something profound will disappear when people talk through machines. He describes giving a difficult speech in Mandarin, which required a lot of work but offered a sense of accomplishment at the end. Who would boast of taking a helicopter to the top of Mount Everest?Others are less worried. Most people do not move abroad or have lasting contact with a foreign culture that requires them to put in the work to become fluent. Nor do most people learn languages for the purpose of humanising themselves or training their brains. On their holiday, they just want a beer and the spaghetti carbonara without incident (and sometimes without gluten).12．According to the passage, what is the advantage of ChatGPT?A．It can meet users’ specific requirements.B．It can generate a perfect paragraph in a short time.C．It can translate sentences word by word correctly.D．It can provide service and companion in the restaurant.13．What is Douglas Hofstadter’s purpose of mentioning a helicopter?A．To stress the difficulty in giving a speech.B．To show an interesting scene of a helicopter.C．To introduce a way to reach the top of Mount Everest.D．To highlight a sense of achievement of language learning.14．The tone of the passage can be best described as ________.A．humorous B．serious C．casual D．indifferent 15．What’s the best title for the passage?A．AI tools — deepening communication among people.B．AI tools — improving people’s life in foreign countries.C．AI tools — making travelling easier and more convenient.D．AI tools — lessening the necessity of learning foreign languages.二、七选五Most college students hope to achieve “academic success”. Of course, they know aboutHere are three specific strategies that Juan Rodriguez discovered in a particularly difficult calculus class.17 He had read that students who sit in the front pay more attention and are more engaged. In addition, professors are more likely to notice the students who this behavior is that it required almost no effort.Another strategy was previewing the information that the instructor was going to introduce. Juan would go over the new material the day before the lecture and come to the class with an idea of that day’s lecture topic. 18 In addition, by previewing the information, Juan was able to write down questions to ask the teacher in class.Finally, Juan found a classmate who was already good at calculus. By asking for his help, Juan received different explanations from those of his instructor. He soon understood difficult terms and worked out some problems on his own. 19While many college students work hard to achieve academic success, not everyone knows what it takes to reach this goal. 20 If a student makes these adjustments to his or her academic habits, as Juan did, he or she will likely be more successful.A．However, there are other strategies that can help.B．Students can learn and use these three simple habits.C．Talking with classmates was the final strategy Juan found.D．Choosing to sit in the front of the class was one of Juan’s strategies.E．He was more comfortable with the information because it was not new to him.F．Having an “expert” friend greatly improved his chances of success in the course.G．Juan took the first step toward improving his performance by sitting in the front of the classroom.三、完形填空We all remember our first days of high-school, college, our first job.

It allows machines to learn from experience, make decisions and solve problems like humans. Today you can find a lot of AI examples in our everyday life. You use AI facial recognition to unlock your phone. Self-driving cars use it to drive. Shopping apps use it to provide you with information according to your interest. Perhaps the best example is the smart assistant on your phone, which can support you when you make voice calls, add events to the calendar, and send messages. All in all, AI is everywhere.In recent years, China has a rapid development in AI. To prepare students well for the future, Zhejiang Province plans to make students in primary and middle schools learn AI.Last year,Zhejiang Province started “AI + education” pilot project in schools. Wenzhou is one of the cities that have carried out the project. The city plans to have nearly 760 schools for AIeducation by the end of this year, hoping to bring AI to every classroom.It’s easy to open the AI course among primary and middle schools, because information technology is already a subject tested in Gaokao in Zhejiang. The new AI course is expected to build a strong AI talent pool for universities and colleges in the future. However, AI-based education is still faced with a lot of challenges. One of the biggest challenges is that there are not enough top teachers.( ) 36. What can AI help machines do?A. Find a lot of examplesB. Copy and act like humans.C. Do everything for humans.D. Experience different kinds of life.( ) 37. What does the underlined word “assistant” mean?A. Controller.B. Owner.C. Helper.D. Trainer.( ) 38. Which of the following is NOT an example of AI?A.
