I switched to a flip phone (翻蓋手機). It vastly improved my life. I felt empty and frustrated at how much time I spent on my smartphone. So I spent the last five years steadily stripping my phone down to the basics. Social media was the first to go, then email, then news apps, and then even internet browsers.
I long considered switching to a flip phone, but I always found an excuse to stay. Ultimately it was two of my students, 15- and 18-year-old sisters, who pushed me over the edge. Word spread around school that they had bought flip phones. If they were brave enough to take the plunge, I could, too. I spent $9 on a flip phone, plus $120 for a year of unlimited talk and text on a new number. For the last five months, I haven’t carried a smartphone with me, just my flip phone.
This is the charming, romantic side of owning a flip phone: more conversations, more eye contact, more connection. The separation between work and life is much more noticeable. I don’t overthink work emails all day, since I no longer carry my work email in my pocket. I am living more like my creative, curious, phone-free children.
This all sounds wonderful because it is wonderful. And now it’s confession time: I still have my smartphone. As it turns out, our addiction to smartphones is not just on an individual level. Intentionally or not, we have built structures that depend upon smartphone access, making it an essential feature of modern life. While most of the flip phone inconveniences are charming, some of them are so frustrating that they make you want to pull your hair out.
Despite that, I will continue to use a flip phone as my primary phone so I don’t have to carry a smartphone with me. And I will continue to evangelize for it. I hope many others get flip phones. We will all be better for it. If nothing else, it’ll be nice to have more people to talk to in the grocery line.
24. What drove the author to switch to a flip phone
A. Disturbance of social media.
B. Overspent time on his smartphone.
C. Inspiration from his students.
D. Negative feelings to smartphones.
25. What happened after the author used a flip phone
A. He got less work assignments.
B. He had more interaction with people.
C. He spent more time with his children.
D. He lived a more romantic life.
26. Why is it difficult to stop using smartphones completely nowadays
A They serve as a vital tool.
B. They make people overthink.
C. They represent the modern life.
D. They bring people many profits.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A. To advise readers to use a flip phone.
B. To advocate living without a smartphone.
C. To inform readers of a flip phone’s advantages.
D. To stress the disadvantages of having a smartphone.

With nearly a quarter of global greenhouse gas coming from all types of transportation, can we keep ourselves off gas-powered vehicles to avoid the worst effects As more governments push for urgent action on climate change, quite a few companies are betting their future – that millions of consumers are finally ready for electricity-powered vehicles. Modern battery-powered cars are selling fast and zero- emission ( 排放) planes are coming. These changes, both leading to a more sustainable future, are reinventing how we get from here to there.
Cars and trucks are undergoing their greatest improvement since the automobile’s (汽車) existence more than a century ago. Almost overnight, the era of the electric car has arrived. Electricity has the advantage that it works without smell and with less noise. Global annual sales of electric vehicles are expected to soar from just over 3 million today to 14 million by 2025. Just a month after Ford unveiled an electric version of the popular F-150, customers had reserved more than 100,000 of them. The price is about $10,000 above the gas-powered one, but Ford says the electric model will cost much less to maintain. Everything creating a green revolution on the ground is of limited help in the sky for the time being.
High-storage batteries are useless at present when it comes to the technological challenge of launching a few hundred people into the sky and carrying them thousands of miles. No battery yet invented can power, say, a Boeing 747 from New York to London. Promising improvements, however, do add up. Developments with zero-emission, battery-powered electric engines are already happening in commercial flight, involving trips of limited duration and distance. Airlines specializing in short journeys with small planes will lead the way to electric flight.
Our planet’s health depends on zeroing out carbon dioxide emissions by 2050, and yet, by the timetable needed to address the climate challenge, the shift away from gas-powered vehicles remains far too slow. Nevertheless, the train has left the station. Someday, electric-powered transportation will be as common as air.
28. Why are many companies switching to electricity-powered vehicles
A. To reinvent the way we travel.
B. To cut the costs of car production.
C. To improve the quality of products.
D. To pursue sustainable development.
29. What do we know about the electric car
A. It came into use a century ago.
B. It enjoys increasing popularity.
C. It sells better than the traditional one.
D. It costs less than the gas-powered one.
30. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3
A. To show the disadvantages of battery power.
B. To emphasize the significance of short flights.
C. To stress the future prospects of electric planes.
D. To state the developments of commercial flight.
31. What does the author mean by saying “the train has left the station”
A. Train transportation has improved.
B. Green transportation is on its way.
C. The electric train is running regularly.
D. The gas-powered train has become the past.

Artificial intelligence (AD) has become a fashion word in recent years, and its impact on society is growing rapidly. AI refers to the development of computer systems that can perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, and decision making. This technology is transforming every industry, from healthcare to finance, and is expected to revolutionize the future.
One area where AI is making significant strides is healthcare. AI-powered tools can analyze vast amounts of medial data and help doctors make more informed diagnoses and treatment decisions. This technology is particularly useful in fields such as radiology where AI algorithms can analyze medical images to detect abnormalities that may be missed by human eyes.
In finance, AI is being used to analyze vast amounts of data to identify patterns and predict market trends. This technology can help traders make more informed decisions and reduce the risks of financial losses. Similarly AI-powered chatbots are being used in customer service, helping to improve response times and provide personalized support.
As the use of AI grows, concerns about job displacement have also arisen. Some fear that Al-powered machines and robots will replace human workers, leading to mass unemployment. While this is a possibility, it is also important to note that AI will create new jobs in fields such as data analysis, software development, and robotics.
Another major concern about AI is the potential for bias and discrimination. AI algorithms are only as good as the data they are trained on, and if that data contains biases, the algorithms will also be biased. This issue is particularly concerning in fields such as criminal justice, where AI-powered systems are being used to make decisions about sentencing. If these algorithms are biased, they could make existing inequalities continue in the criminal justice system.
Despite these concerns, the benefits of AI are numerous and undeniable. However, to ensure that these benefits are accessible to all and to address concerns about bis and discrimination, it is crucial to continue researching and developing moral AI.
32. AI outweighs humans in healthcare because it ______.
A. stops financial risks. B. recognizes market tendency.
C. ensures precise judgment. D. offers personalized services.
33. What is one of the major concerns of AI
A. A large number of human workers will be laid off.
B. Algorithms will be out of date.
C. Unfairness may arise in criminal justice system.
D. New jobs will be unavailable.
34. How does the writer mainly develop this text
A. By stating facts and citing quotes.
B. By presenting influences and listing examples.
C. By showing different ideas and giving reasons.
D. By comparing research results and offering suggestions.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Artificial Intelligence: Becoming a Fashion Word
B. Artificial Intelligence: Improving Human Abilities
C Artificial Intelligence: Bettering Decision Making
D. Artificial Intelligence: Revolutionizing the Future
第二節(jié)(共5小題;每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分)
閱讀下面短文，從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
English, along with the vast majority of the world’s languages, uses relative spatial description. So if you were to describe where something is, you would give a description referring to how it’s positioned relative to you: “____36____”
Similarly, if you were asked to give directions, you’d describe the route relative to your position along it at each point: “____37____” The problem with egocentric(自我中心的) descriptions like these, however, is that they constantly change as we change our position. All it takes for your left and right as they are at the moment to become your forwards and backwards is a 90-degree turn.
____38____ Instead, they have a fantastic sense of spatial awareness.
Guugu Yimithirr, the Australian Aboriginal (澳大利亞土著) language, has no words for left and right. ____39____ So the light switch might be to your west as you enter the room, the television to your east. You might turn north at the traffic lights, then take the second road to the east.
Studies have shown that speakers of Guugu Yimithirr essentially have an in-built compass(指南針) taught to them in early childhood through near-constant repetition of the compass points in everyday conversation. The words “north”, “south”, “east” and “west” alone account for around 10 percent of a typical Guugu Yimithirr conversation. ____40____ And with a sense of direction like that, who needs left and right anyway
A. However, they manage to get by without them.
B. Turn left at the traffic lights, then take the second right.
C. The light switch is to your left; the TV is on your right.
D. But the speakers of Guugu Yimithirr don’t have this problem.
E. If the reader of a book is facing north, he would turn the pages from east to west.
F. Most speakers develop a fully-functioning directional system by the age of just 8.
G. Instead, speakers give all their descriptions based on the fixed four main points of the compass.

A Girl’s Baseball Dream
Marcenia Lyle loved baseball even though she couldn’t afford baseball cleats (運動鞋). If there was anything in the world better than baseball, Marcenia didn’t know what it was. She dreamed of growing up to be a professional ballplayer, so she could play ball all the time. Her friend Harold gave his old gloves to her. Boys had teased (取笑) her when she first started playing baseball with them. Then when they saw she could run, hit, and throw as well as they could, the teasing stopped. They had let her play.
One day after school Marcenia went to the playground. The boys stood and talked quietly. They cast excited glances at the man who was watching the field. “Do you know who he is ” Harold asked Marcenia as she joined the group. He tipped his head toward the man. “That there is Mr. Gabby Street. He’s running a baseball camp this summer.”
Marcenia knew about Gabby Street. He was a famous coach. “What does he want ” Marcenia asked. “Kids for her baseball camp.” Harold said, “It’s going to be right here on the field every day except Sunday. Sundays are game days.” “What is the cost ” Marcenia asked. “It’s free! It’s free!” said Clarence. “All you need is your own glove and baseball cleats.” Harold added. Marcenia could hardly contain her excitement. She would do anything to be one of the players in Mr. Street’s camp.
That afternoon Marcenia played with purpose. She scored three runs just like she wanted and hit a home run. When Mr. Street approached the players after the game Marcenia crowded in close so he could see her. “I just saw some good ball,” Mr. Street said, smiling. “Who wants to come to my baseball camp and really learn to play this game ” Every hand went up. Mr. Street shook them all. He shook Marcenia’s hand last. “You’ve got a good arm, little girl, and you run fast,” he said. “I’m sorry but I don’t take girls in my camp.” Marcenia looked down so no one would see her disappointment. She began striking dust from her dress, thinking to herself, “I must hold on to my dream.”
注意：1. 續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應為150個左右；
2. 請按如下格式在答題卡的相應位置作答。
Marcenia decided to give Mr. Street a reason to change his mind.

【答案】Dear Will,
Learning you’re interested in the “Learning from Lei Feng Sharing a Bookcase” held in our community. I’m writing to tell you something about it.
Early in the morning, people came to the scene of the event, some holding some latest best-sellers while others carrying some classic. People introduced their own donations and recommended others to give it a try while waiting in a line. Before sunset, about two thousand books were registered and sent to the community library.
Not only did the activity convey the spirits of sharing, but it also enhanced the bond among local residents. I can’t wait to borrow books from the library.
Yours,
Li Hua

【答案】范文
Marcenia decided to give Mr. Street a reason to change his mind. Every day Marcenia played baseball, and every day Mr. Street refused to invite her to his camp. However, Marcenia insisted that the key was to focus on her dreams, instead of the hardships she encountered along the way. Then came a day when she decided to take the biggest chance in a game. All her energy was put and all her concentration was fixed on the field. Eventually, she scored the winning run! While her teammates cheered for her, Marcenia eagerly faced Mr. Street.
Mr. Street waved Marcenia over and handed a new shoe box to her. He said in a firm voice, “You’re a great ballplayer! Welcome to my camp!” Marcenia’s eyes widened as he pulled out a shoe with each hand. These were real baseball cleats! “Thank you, Mr. Street!” Marcenia was so excited that she could barely squeeze out the words. Hugging the shoes to her chest, she unbuckled her street shoes and laced on her new cleats. They fit perfectly. She ran and jumped in them. She was on her way to becoming a real baseball player. Since then, she has learned fulfilling one’s dream has nothing to do with age, gender or the thoughts or expectations of others, but a firm belief.
