One man was sick and he could not even move his body or look around the room. The other man could move, but was also very ill.Over time, the two men became good friends. They shared lots of things together and even talked about what they hoped to do after they got better. But there was one thing about the room that was special for both of them. The man who could move would look out of the room’s only window, describing the scenery outside for his friend. He told him about the people walking by, the weather, anything that might interest a man who had not seen the world beyond his bed for some time.One day, when a nurse came to check on the two men, she found that the man who often looked out of the window had died in his sleep. Sadly, she informed the other man that his friend had died and called for nurses to take the dead man away. The other man asked to be moved to the dead man’s bed so that he could look out of the window himself. The nurses moved him to the other bed. However, the man found that there was no window at all, just a blank wall.The nurses explained that the dead man had been blind. He had never actually seen anything outside the window at all but he described beautiful scenes to encourage his friend. Sometimes all we need in life is a little encouragement, even if it comes from an unlikely place.31.How did the man who could move encourage his roommate?A.He shared his life experience with his roommate.B.He described what he saw from a “window”.C.He took his roommate outside.D.He told jokes to his roommate.32.What did the man who could move tell his friend when looking outside the “window”?A.The thing they would do after they got better.B.The scenery, the weather, and the people walking by.C.The reason why he was seriously ill.D.His friend could move to his bed after he died.33.After the man who could move died, the other man wanted to be moved to the bed next tothe window because .A.he missed the man who could move very muchB.the bed there was tidier than hisC.he wanted to look at the world outsideD.he felt worse and worse34.Which of the following about the man who could move is NOT true?A.He was blind.B.He tried to help his friend feel better.C.He died in his sleep.D.The nurse didn’t know he was blind.35.What is the best title of this passage?A. The View Out Of WindowB. Never Tell LiesC. A Lonely HospitalD. The Nurse And The PatientsBThe word photography was first used in 1839. However, at that time the subject (被拍对象) had to keep still while a picture of it was being taken. Few people had ever tried to take photos of moving subjects. The first man to do so was Eadweard Muybridge, a world-famous photographer. He created the first moving picture.When a horse is running, do all four hooves (蹄) ever leave the ground at the same time? That was the bet (打赌) that a gentleman called Leland Stanford had with some of his friends. Most people believed that a horse always had one hoof on the ground, but Stanford didn’t think so. Because a horse’s legs are moving so fast, it’s impossible to tell just by looking.Stanford needed a way to record the movement of a running horse. In 1872, Leland Stanford offered Eadweard Muybridge $25,000 to find the answer. Muybridge had no idea if he could successfully set up and perform an experiment to settle ( 解决) the bet, but he thought he should give it a try.In 1878, after years of experiments, Muybridge got what he wanted. He had a sequence (连续) of 12 images (图像), and one of them clearly showed all four of the horse’s hooves were off the ground at the same time. In the end, Muybridge collected his well-earned $25,000 from Stanford.Though Thomas Edison is usually considered as the person who created the first cine-camera (电影摄影机) in 1889, it was the work of Eadweard Muybridge and the bet that led to Edis on’s invention.36.The underlined word “still” most probably means “” in Chinese.A. 安逸的B. 平衡的C. 直立的D. 静止的37.Leland Stanford thought that .A.a horse always had one hoof on the ground while runningB.a horse had all four hooves off the ground at some point while runningC.it was possible for Eadweard Muybridge to make a moving pictureD.it was impossible for Eadweard Muybridge to make a moving picture38.Muybridge finally found the answer to the bet in .A. 1839B. 1872C. 1878D. 188739.Muybridge’s experiments prov ed that it was _ who won the bet.A. StanfordB. Stanford’s friendsC. MuybridgeD. Muybridge’s friends40.The passage mainly tells us .A.that Thomas Edison created the first cine-cameraB.that Eadweard Muybridge created the first still pictureC.how photography helped people know more about animalsD.how Eadweard Muybridge got pictures of movement successfullyCLisa has been to Antarctica (南极洲).

Expand.45.The writing is most probably from Lisa’s.A. notebookB. diaryC. homeworkD. bookD“Please don’t travel to Wuhan unless it’s absolutely necessary,” Zhong Nanshan, a famous respiratory (呼吸科的) expert, reminded the public when the novel coronavirus first hit Wuhan. But despite the danger, he, 84, rushed on an overnight train to Wuhan to fight the disease.Zhong Nanshan is known as the hero who defeated SARS in 2003. His image and messages are flooding ( 遍布) social media. Many people say they “trust every word of Zhong”. He has given Chinese people confidence in winning the battle.A great doctor and honest scholar (学者)Growing up in a family of doctors, Zhong lives by a simple motto (信条): save lives and always be honest. In 2003, when SARS hit China, he volunteered to treat patients and asked his colleagues ( 同事) to send their most serious cases to him. After months of work, his treatment plan for SARS was adopted ( 采纳) by China and then the whole world, saving thousands of lives, People’s Daily reported.Zhong is also known for being an honest scholar. In 2003, when authorities (官方) said that the SARS virus was under control, he publicly refuted their claim. “I couldn’t help myself. I said it’s not all under control,” Zhong said in a later interview. His honesty won widespread praise from the Chinese public.Back to the frontlinesSeventeen years later, Zhong is once again leading an expert team to study the novel coronavirus. Although this new virus is known to be more dangerous to the elderly, Zhongdoesn’t seem worried about his own safety.On January 18, he took a high-speed train from Guangzhou to Wuhan. Two days later, he became the first expert to make certain that the new virus can be spread between humans. On January 29, he and his colleagues spent over four hours online checking five patients who were in serious condition. The next day, he chose the treatment for those patients. Under his guidance, his team developed a rapid test kit (快速检测试剂盒) for the disease that can show results within 15 minutes.As People’s Daily wrote, “the 84-year-old Zhong Nanshan shows his professionalism asa scholar, courage as a soldier, and a sense of duty as the backbone (脊梁) of our nation.”46.Which one would NOT be used to describe Zhong Nanshan?A. He is an expert.B. He is honest.C. He trusts social media.D. He is brave.47.What achievements did Zhong make in the fight against SARS?A.He was the first doctor to start treating SARS patients.B.He treated the most serious patients online.C.His treatment plan saved lots of people.D.He stated that SARS was under control.48.What does the underlined word “refute” mean?A. To support others’ opinions.B. To say that something was not true.C. To mock or laugh at authorities.D. To be in the fight against the disease.49.What has Zhong done to fight the disease caused by the new virus?A.He warned people that the virus could spread between humans.B.He treated five severe patients in a day.C.He chose some special patients to receive treatment.D.The test kit from his team can show results in 15 seconds.50.The purpose of the story is to .A. encourage people to stay at homeB. state the importance of Zhong’s warningC. guide people to be honest and braveD. praise Zhong’s courage and spirit第二节阅读填空（共 5 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 5 分）阅读短文及文后选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

We could see dandelions (蒲公英) popping through the grass, as if a 24 had touched our landscape with bits of gold from the paint box. I watched my mother carelessly bend down by some flowers. “I think I am going to dig up all these dandelions,” she said. “From now on, we’ll only have those pretty roses in this garden.”“But I like dandelions,” I said. “All flowers are 25 —even dandelions!”My mother looked at me 26 . “Yes, every flower shines in its own way, doesn’t it?” she said. I nodded. “And that is 27 of people, too,” she added.When I realized that she had 28 my pain, I started to cry and told her the truth.“You will be a beautiful narrator,” she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her.Over the next few weeks, I learned to take pride in the role. The big day finally 29 .A few minutes before the play, I felt nervous. Just then, my teacher came over to me. “Your mother asked me to give this to you,” she said, handing me a dandelion. After the play, I took the flower home and pressed it between two sheets of paper in a dictionary.

Each year, we pay close attention to the newest gifts hitting the market. Below, we’ve created such a list, choosing some of the hottest items on store shelves right now.Mind Card Game$20.00This is a board game that encourages true teamwork, because the number one rule is “No talking!” If successful, they’ll be amazed at how well they work with their teammates without using any words.Harry Potter Paperback Box Set$80.00If they’re getting sick of borrowing the local library’s copies, then they need a complete collection of Harry Potter books to call their own.

Outside, my father and Mr. Patrick were preparing firewood. Inside their own houses, my mother and Mrs. Patrick were busy with spring cleaning.Somehow a few boys ran to the field with their kites, catching everyone’s attention nearby. My mother looked at the messy room. Again she looked out of the window. “Come on, girls! Let’s watch the boys fly kites.” On the way, we me t Mrs. Patrick, laughing in shame as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls.We played with the boys and watched the kites fly higher and higher. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dance in the wind, and finally brought it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again. Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. At that moment we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty, and children forgot their everyday fights.The strange thing was that we didn’t mention that day afterward. So I locked the memory up in my heart.Years went on. Then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen, while my daughter was crying “go park, see duck”. “No.” I said. “I have lots of things to do, and when I’m through I’ll be tired”.My mom, who was visiting us, offered “It’s a warm day with breeze. Do you remember the day we flew kites?” I stopped my work with a rush of memories. Then I told my little girl, “Let’s go! It’s too good a day to miss.”Another decade passed. I visited the youngest Patrick boy who was badly ill. A smile slipped out from his pale lips, “Do you remember—no, of course you wouldn’t. It probably didn’thave the influence on you as it did on me.” “Remember what?” “The day we flew kites.”34．Mrs. Patrick was laughing in shame, because she thought ________.A．she was too old to fly kite B．her girls could fly kites wellC．her husband would made fun of her D．she should do housework instead of playing 35．The underlined sentence “we were all beside ourselves” in Paragraph 3 probably means________.A．we were hard on ourselves B．we lost everythingC．we went back home D．we went wild with joy36．The writer decided to take her daughter to the park after she ________.A．thought of the day she flew kites B．realized her job as a motherC．made sure the weather was fine D．finished all the housework37．The writer tells the story of the youngest Patrick boy to show that ________.A．a light heart lives long B．people treasure happy memoriesC．life is full of ups and downs D．childhood friendship lasts foreverChatGPT is back in the headlines. Open AI, the company behind the popular chatbot has now introduced a powerful new language model: GPT-4.On March 14, GPT-4 showed the world how smarter it is than the previous GPT-3.5. One of its best new features is that it can understand pictures. For example, if you show a picture of a phone using the wrong charger, GPT-4 can tell why the picture looks strange or funny.But GPT-4’s developments don’t stop there. The new language model can code classic games like Tetris (俄罗斯方块) in a matter of minutes, and produce the code and layout (布局) for a website based on a handmade drawing. It can also change the tone and style based on what you ask it to do. GPT-4 is much better than the older GPT at passing tests, which may worry teachers. According to CNN, GPT-4 did really well on a law school test, with a score in the top 10 percent of test takers. But GPT-3.5 only got a score in the bottom 10 percent.GPT-4 will also see greater use as a tool to power other apps and services. For example, the language learning app Duolingo plans to use GPT-4 in their upcoming version, Duolingo Max. Users can learn language by talking with AI. Another app, Be My Eyes, will have a digital assistant to help blind people better understand the world around them. The government of Iceland alsoplans to use GPT-4 to protect the Icelandic language.There are still problems with the new language model, however. GPT-4 struggles to get completely correct answers, especially with newer information after September 2021. GPT-4 also sometimes “hallucinates”, meaning that it will insist that wrong information is true.38．What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A．GPT-4 can create funny pictures.B．GPT-4 can tell if a phone is recharging.C．GPT-3.5 cannot understand pictures.D．GPT-4 cannot respond faster than GPT-3.5. 39．Which of the following abilities of GPT-4 are mentioned?①understanding pictures①coding classic games①producing the layout for a website①changing the tone and style①getting completely correct answers①powering other apps and servicesA．①①①①①B．①①①①①C．①①①①①D．①①①①①40．According to the text, what is true about GPT-4?A．GPT-4 can beat 90% of human test takers in all tests.B．GPT-4 is less preferred by apps and services.C．GPT-4 sometimes is unable to decide whether the information is true or not.D．GPT-4 couldn’t get correct answers before Sept 2021.41．Where is this text most likely from?A．A technology newspaper.B．A science fiction.C．A computer guidebook.D．A fashion magazine.Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 percent of what we really mean while words only express 7 percent. So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying.Arms.How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive (能容纳的) you are to people you meet. If you keep your arms to sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of anything. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you’re unhappy!Head. When you want to show you are confident, keep your head level. However, to befriendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little.Legs. Your legs will move around a lot more than usual when you are nervous or telling lies.Posture. A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling unhappy, you usually don’t sit straight, with your shoulders inwards. This makes breathing more difficult and makes you feel nervous or uncomfortable.Face. When you lie, you might put on a false face. But that expression would not last long. And your true emotions such as happiness, sadness, fear and so on will come through. 42．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．People.B．Arms.C．Bodies.D．Movements.43．If you want to look confident, what should you do?A．Move your arms a lot.B．Keep your head level.C．Move your head a little.D．Cross your arms.44．Which of the following movements tells you are nervous?A．Your legs move around a lot more than usual.B．You sit straight and hold your head up.C．You keep the arms to the sides of the body.D．You put on a false face to hide your uneasiness.45．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．Body Language, the Most Powerful LanguageB．Arms Tell More than LegsC．Facial Expressions Tell the TruthD．Posture Shows the Mind阅读短文及文后A~E选项，选出可以填入各题空白处的最佳选项。

Two men were staying in the same room in a hospital.One man was sick and he could not even move his body or look around the room. The other man could move, but was also very ill.Over time, the two men became good friends. They shared lots of things together and even talked about what they hoped to do afterthey got better. But there was one thing about the room that was special for both of them. The man who could move would look out ofthe room’s only window, describing the scenery outside for his friend. He told him about the people walking by, the weather,anything that might interest a man who had not seen the world beyond his bed for some time.One day, when a nurse came to check on the two men, she foundthat the man who often looked out of the window had died in his sleep. Sadly, she informed the other man that his friend had died and called for nurses to take the dead man away. The other man asked to be moved to the dead man’s bed so that he could look out of the window himself. The nurses moved him to the other bed. However, the manfound that there was no window at all, just a blank wall.The nurses explained that the dead man had been blind. He had never actually seen anything outside the window at all but he described beautiful scenes to encourage his friend.

The word photography was first used in 1839. However,at that time the subject (被拍对象) had to keep still while a picture of it was taken. Few people had ever tried to take photos of moving subjects. The first man to do so was Eadweard Muybridge, a world-famous photographer. He created the first moving picture.When a horse is running, do all four hooves (蹄)ever leave the ground at the same time? That was the bet that a gentleman called Leland Stanford had with some of his friends. Most people believed that a horse always had one hoof on the ground, but Stanford didn’t think: so. Because a horse’s legs are moving so fast, it’s impossible to tell just by looking. Stanford needed a way to record the movement of a running horse. In 1872, Leland Stanford offered Eadweard Muybridge $25,000 to find the answer. Muybridge had no idea if he could successfully set up and perform an experiment to settle (解决) the bet, but he thought he should give it a try.In 1878, after years of experiments, Muybridge got what he wanted. He had a sequence (连续) of 12 images (图像), and one of them clearly showed all four of the horse’s hooves were off the ground at the same time. In the end Muybridge collected his well-earned $25,000from Stanford.Though Thomas Edison is usually considered as the person who created the first cine-camera (电影摄影机) in 1889, it was the workof Eadweard Muybridge and the bet that led to Edison’s invention.【小题1】The unde rlined word “still” most probably means“________” in Chinese.A．安逸的B．平衡的C．直立的D．静止的【小题2】Leland Stanford thought that ________.A．a horse always had one hoof on the ground while runningB．a horse had all 4 hooves off the ground at some point whilerunningC．it was possible for Eadweard Muybridge to make a moving picture D．it was impossible for Eadweard Muybridge to make a moving picture 【小题3】Muybridge finally found the answer to the bet in ________. A．1839 B．1872 C．1878 D．1887【小题4】Muybridge’s experiments proved that it was ________ whowon the bet.A．Stanford B．Stanford’sfriends.C．MuybridgeD．Muybridge’sfriends【小题5】The passage mainly tells us ________.A．that Thomas Edison created the first cine-cameraB．that Eadweard Muybridge created the first still pictures C．how photography helped people know more about animalsD．how Eadweard Muybridge got pictures of movement successfully 15.Lisa has been to Antarctica (南极洲).

But despite the danger, he, 84, rushed on an overnight train to Wuhan to fight the disease.Zhong Nanshan is known as the hero who defeated SARS in 2003. His image and messages are flooding ( 遍布 ) social media. Many peoplesay they “trust every word of Zhong”. He has given Chinese peop le confidence in winning the battle.A great doctor and honest scholar (学者)Growing up in a family of doctors, Zhong lives by a simple motto (信条): save lives and always be honest. In 2003, when SARS hit China, he volunteered to treat patients and asked his colleagues ( 同事 ) to send their most serious cases to him. After months of work, his treatment plan for SARS was adopted ( 采纳 ) by China and then the whole world, saving thousands of lives, People’s Daily reported.Zhong is also known for being an honest scholar.

His honesty won widespread praise from the Chinese public.Back to the frontlinesSeventeen years later, Zhong is once again leading an expert team to study the novel coronavirus.

Two days later, he became the first expert to make certain that the new virus can be spread between humans. On January 29, he and his colleagues spent over four hours online checking five patients who were in serious condition. The next day, he chose the treatment for those patients. Under his guidance, his team developed a rapid testkit (快速检测试剂盒) for the disease that can show results within 15 minutes.As People’s Daily wrote, “the 84-year-old Zhong Nanshan shows his professionalism as a scholar, courage as a soldier, and a sense of duty as the backbone (脊梁) of our nation.”【小题1】Which one would NOT be used to describe Zhong Nanshan?A．He is an expert. B．He is honest.C．He trustssocial media.D．He is brave.【小题2】What achievements did Zhong make in the fight against SARS?A．He was the first doctor to start treating SARS patients. B．He treated the most serious patients online.C．His treatment plan saved lots of people. D．He stated that SARS was under control.【小题3】What does the underlined word “refute” mean?A．To support others’ opinions.B．To say that something was not true.C．To mock or laugh at authorities. D．To be in the fight against the disease.【小题4】What has Zhong done to fight the disease caused by the new virus?A．He warned people that the virus could spread between humans. B．He treated five severe patients in a day.C．He chose some special patients to receive treatment.D．The test kit from his team can show results in 15 seconds.【小题5】The purpose of the story is to________.A．encourage people to stay at home B．state the importance of Zhong’s warningC．guide people to be honest and brave D．praise Zhong’s courage and spirit四、补全短文5选517. 阅读短文及文后选项，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
