D.Parentchildrelationship.【答案】4.B5.A6.D7.B【解析】【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。短文主要讲述的是作者的父亲对于工作的看法，以及作者对于教育孩子工作的重要性的观点。【4题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段“It’ssomethingmydadhastoldmeprettymucheveryday:Moneyesfromwork.”（这是我父亲几乎每天都告诉我的事情：钱来自工作。）可推知，作者的父亲是一个勤奋工作的人，故选B。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Perspective—lookingatlifeovertime—demandsthatyouteachchildrentowork.”（从长远的角度看待生活，这要求你教会孩子工作。）和“ Weteachthemtoworknotforourbenefit,butbecauseitgivesthembothdignityinajobwelldonetodayandthetoolsandcharactertowininthefutureasadults.”（我们教他们工作不是为了我们的利益，而是因为这给了他们今天出色工作的尊严，也给了他们成年后在未来获胜的工具和品格。）可推知，现在的父母应该教孩子工作，故选A。【6题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Anotherhugebenefitofteachingachildthewonderofworkisthatshewilltendtostayawayfrompeoplewhorefusetowork.Whyisthisgood?BecauseyouwantyourdaughtertomarryMr.Right,notMr.Lazy.”（教孩子工作的另一个巨大好处是，她会倾向于远离拒绝工作的人。为什么这很好？因为你想让你的女儿嫁给真命天子，而不是懒汉。）可推知，孩子从工作中可以得到的好处是远离懒惰的人，故选D。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Manyparentstodayaresocenteredonwhattheirchildrenwantthattheyhavelostperspectiveonwhattheirchildrenreallyneed.Perspective—lookingatlifeovertime—demandsthatyouteachchildrentowork.”（如今，许多父母都过于关注孩子想要什么，而忽略了孩子真正需要什么。从长远的角度看待生活，这要求你教会孩子工作。）和最后一段“Sotrainupachildinthewayheshouldgo,andwhenheisold,hewillnotgoawayfromit.”（所以要训练一个孩子走他应该走的路，当他老了，他不会离开这条路。）可知，短文主要讲述的是作者的父亲对于工作的看法，以及作者对于教育孩子工作的重要性的观点。所以短文来自于“父母的教育”。故选B。CJulywasthehottestmonthonrecordglobally.HightemperaturesandseriouswildfireshavesweptacrosstheNorthernHemisphere.Oceanicheatwavesaredamagingtheworld’sthirdlargestcoralreefoffFlorida.Andasthelevelsofgreenhousegasescontinuetoincrease,itmeansmanyevenhottersummerslieahead.Lastweek,theUnitedNationsSecretaryGeneralAntonioGuterrescoinedanewterm.Thetimeof“globalwarming”hasended,heannounced,andthetimeof“globalboiling”hasarrived.Butcriticshavestronglydisagreedwiththephrase.Atonelevel,“globalboiling”isclearlyanoverstatement,but“globalwarming”isnowfartooweakadescription.Manyclimatescientistshavepushedfortheterm“globalheating”tobeusedinpreference.Similarly,phrasessuchas“climatecrisis”haven’treceivedenoughattention.That’sbecausemanyofusstillfeelwehaven’tseenthiscrisiswithourowneyes.Butthatischanging.Inthepastfewyears,extremeweatherandrelevanteventshavestruckmanycountries.Australia’sBlackSummerbroughtwildfiresthatburnedanareathesizeoftheUnitedKingdom.Germanysufferedseriousfloodingin2021.The2022floodinPakistanfloodedlargepartsofthecountry.Chinahasseenbothdroughtsandfloods.TerribledroughtshavehittheHornofAfricaformanyyears.Indiahasstoppedriceexportsduetodamagefromheavyrain.Criticsofclimateactionoftenplainaboutwhattheyseeastheoveruseof“crisistalk”.Ifeverythingisacrisis,nothingisacrisis.WhenGuterresusesdeeplyimpactfulphrases,he’snotinvitingustoimagineaHollywoodstyledisaster.Whathe’shopingistomakepeoplelistenandact—nowwecanseewhatclimatechangelookslike.Aretherebetterphrasestodescribethis?Possibly.Takethechallengeyourself:canyouthinkupabrief,correctphrasetocoverworseninglocalandregionalscaledroughts,fires,typhoonsandfloods;damagetocropsandfoodsafety;watershortages;existentialthreatstocoralreefsandlowlyingmunities?Youcanseehowharditis.8Whatdoestheunderlinedword“coined”inparagraph2mean?A.Explained.

D.TheFutureofCityBirdsLiesinOurHands【答案】12.A13.C14.D15.C【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述城市压力让雄性歌雀更具有攻击性，但这也为它们成为更好的父亲，在城市的持续繁衍带来了好处。【12题详解】细节理解题。由文章第二段“Therearefewercitylivingsongsparrowsthaninthecountryside.However,theincreasedaggressionobservedinthemalescanbeconnectedtoamorepressingneedtodefendterritoriesinurbansettings.(城市里活着的歌麻雀比农村少。然而，在雄性歌雀身上观察到的攻击性增加可能与在城市环境中更迫切地需要保卫领土有关。)”可知，保护领地的压力导致雄性城市麻雀的攻击性增加。故选A项。【13题详解】细节理解题。由文章第三段“Againstourexpectations,wefoundthattheyvisitednestsmoreoftenandweremoresuccessfulparentsthanthemalesinthecountryside(与我们的预期相反，我们发现它们比农村的雄性更经常去巢穴，而且是更成功的父母)”可知，研究人员原本预计，与农村歌雀相比，城市雄性的歌雀对巢里幼崽照顾率较低，不能成为很好的父亲。故选C项。【14题详解】细节理解题。由文章第四段“Andeventhoughbroodparasitism,onespecieslayingeggsinthenestofanother,istypicallyhigherinurbanareas,theresearchersobservedthatratesofnestpredation,theactofotheranimalseatingeggsoryoungbirds,werelower,furthercontributingtotheoverallnestingsuccessofthesesparrows.(尽管在城市地区，一个物种在另一个物种的巢穴中产卵的窝寄生率通常较高，但研究人员观察到，巢穴捕食率（其它动物吃蛋或幼鸟的行为）较低，这进一步促进了这些麻雀的整体筑巢成功。)”可知，研究表明，城市地区的巢穴捕食率较低。故选D项。【15题详解】主旨大意题。由文章第二段“Therearefewercitylivingsongsparrowsthaninthecountryside.However,theincreasedaggressionobservedinthemalescanbeconnectedtoamorepressingneedtodefendterritoriesinurbansettings.Butthatincreasedaggressiondoesn’tmeanthemalesfailintheirdutiesasfathers.Infact,theresearchersweresurprisedtofindthattheoppositemaybetrue.(城市里活着的歌雀比农村少。然而，在雄性歌雀身上观察到的攻击性增加可能与在城市环境中更迫切地需要保卫领土有关。但这种攻击性的增加并不意味着雄性不能履行父亲的职责。事实上，研究人员惊讶地发现，情况可能恰恰相反。)”以及上下文可知，文章讲述城市压力让雄性歌雀更具有攻击性，但这也为它们成为更好的父亲，在城市的持续繁衍带来了好处。所以C项BigCityLifeMakesBirdsBetterDads(大城市生活让鸟成为更好的爸爸)符合语境。故选C项。第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Atfirstglance,itseemstobeDutchpainterJohannesVermeer’smasterpieceGirlwithaPearlEarring.____16____Wearingtwoglowingearrings,there’saslightlyinhumanshadeofredonthegirl’sface.Lookstrange?____17____Chosenfrom3,482submittedimagesbasedontheVermeermasterpiece,theAlgeneratedworkwasdisplayedattheMauritshuisMuseumintheNetherlandsinMarch.ThedesignerlookedontheexperienceofliterallyreplacingthefamouspaintingbyoneofhisAIimagescrazyandpletelysurreal.____18____ThoughMauritshuispressofficerBorisdeMunnickinsistedthatitwasanicepictureandacreativeprocess,manypeoplequestionedwhetheritcouldbecalledartandifitwasqualifiedtobeshowninthemuseumgallery.____19____ItwasregardedasadisrespectforthemasterpieceofVermeerandalsoforanyworkingartist.Infact,thisisnotthefirsttimethatpeoplehavedebatedAI’sroleincreativity.____20____ButthetechnologyhasnowbeewidelyavailableforregulareverydayuseandthepracticeofusingAIimagegeneratorstomakearthasbeemoremon.A.ingfromamuseum,it’sreallyembarrassing.B.However,theAIimageraisedafierceargument.C.Butlookmorecloselyandyoumayfindsomethingdifferentaboutit.D.OnemonconcerniswhetherAIgeneratedworksbreakcopyrightlaws.E.DutchartistIrispietdescribedtheimageondisplayasalmostFrankensteinish.F.It’sactuallyanimagemadebyBerlinbaseddesignerJulianvanDiekenusingartificialintelligence.G.TheemergenceofsuchAIworksisbelievedbymanytoweakentheenthusiasmofartistswithcreativeskills.【答案】16.C17.F18.B19.E20.G【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了艺术家JulianvanDieken应用人工智能创造画作并展览。【16题详解】由上文“Atfirstglance,itseemstobeDutchpainterJohannesVermeer’smasterpieceGirlwithaPearlEarring.(乍一看，这似乎是荷兰画家约翰内斯·维米尔的杰作《戴珍珠耳环的少女》)”可知，这里描述这幅画乍一看像名画，而C项Butlookmorecloselyandyoumayfindsomethingdifferentaboutit.(但仔细观察，你可能会发现一些不同之处。)符合语境，其中but表示和前文是转折关系，而后文也在解释somethingdifferent的不同之处，所以本句有承上启下作用。故选C项。【17题详解】由下文“Chosenfrom3,482submittedimagesbasedontheVermeermasterpiece,theAIgeneratedworkwasdisplayedattheMauritshuisMuseumintheNetherlandsinMarch.(这幅由AI创作的作品是根据维米尔的杰作从3482幅提交的图像中挑选出来的，于3月在荷兰的Maurithuis博物馆展出)”可知，这里主要讲这幅画是用AI创造出来的。而F项It’sactuallyanimagemadebyBerlinbaseddesignerJulianvanDiekenusingartificialintelligence.(这实际上是柏林设计师JulianvanDieken利用人工智能制作的图像。)符合语境，其中usingartificialintelligence与下文AIgeneratedwork呼应，有启下作用。故选F项。【18题详解】由下文“ThoughMauritshuispressofficerBorisdeMunnickinsistedthatitwasanicepictureandacreativeprocess,manypeoplequestionedwhetheritcouldbecalledartandifitwasqualifiedtobeshowninthemuseumgallery.(尽管Mauritshuis新闻官BorisdeMunnick坚称这是一幅很好的画，也是一个创作过程，但许多人质疑它是否可以被称为艺术，以及它是否有资格在博物馆画廊展出)”可知，此处主要讲人们对这幅画存在争议。而B项However,theAIimageraisedafierceargument.(然而，人工智能图像引发了激烈的争论。)符合语境，其中afierceargument与下文内容呼应，有启下作用。故选B项。【19题详解】由下文“ItwasregardedasadisrespectforthemasterpieceofVermeerandalsoforanyworkingartist.(这被认为是对维米尔杰作的不尊重，也是对任何艺术家的不尊重)”可知，这里主要讲一些人不认可这幅画，而E项DutchartistIrispietdescribedtheimageondisplayasalmostFrankensteinish.(荷兰艺术家Irispiet将展出的画描述为几乎是弗兰肯斯坦式的（科学怪人样的）)符合语境，其中theimageondisplay为后文it的指代内容，所以本句话有启下作用。故选E项。【20题详解】由下文“ButthetechnologyhasnowbeewidelyavailableforregulareverydayuseandthepracticeofusingAIimagegeneratorstomakearthasbeemoremon.(但这项技术现在已经广泛用于日常生活，使用人工智能图像生成器制作艺术的做法也变得越来越普遍)”可知，这里讲这项技术现在已经广泛用于日常生活，而G项TheemergenceofsuchAIworksisbelievedbymanytoweakentheenthusiasmofartistswithcreativeskills.(许多人认为，此类人工智能作品的出现削弱了具有创作技能的艺术家的热情。)符合语境，这里主要讲人工智能作品的弊端，与后文形成对比关系。故选G项。第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。Itwashardnottonoticethe8yearoldbo
