What is spring break?
Between tests and after-school activities, we all deserve a much-needed pause from school to relax and regroup. Entering spring break, a glorious week set aside in the middle of the semester for students to take time off and unwind.
When is spring break 2023?
The dates of spring break 2023 vary from school to school, but most take place in March or April. You can check your school’s calendar to see when spring break 2023 is scheduled.
How long is spring break?
Again, the length of spring breaks differ across the country. A majority are just one week, but some spring breaks (mostly among colleges and universities) are two weeks long.
What should I do over spring break 2023?
Spring break 2023 will be here before you know it, but that means you should start planning if you want to travel. Looking to escape the cold? Booking a trip somewhere beachside or poolside, taking advantage of spring skiing, snowboarding, or other late-winter activities. There are many, many options. Staycations are also perfect for connecting with fam and friends, binge-watching a new series on Netflix, planning a local museum trip, picking up a new hobby, going for a hike, or finally making a dent in your TBR list. Super scholars might take this time to prepare and get ahead on their studies. If college year is fast-approaching, you could even plan some college tours and arrange in-person visits to some of the campuses on your list.
Happy spring break!
1. What date is most possible in spring break of 2023?
A. February 12. B. May 15.

People tend to loathe pigeons for the way they mess up parked cars or flock to food wastes on the sidewalk. But the truth is that more than 300 species of wild pigeons have been found on the earth, many of which are quite impressive.
“Pigeons are biological marvels,” says Rosemary Mosco, author of A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching. “They make milk for their young. They can take off almost vertically. They see colors we can’t, hear sounds we can’t, and find their way across hundreds of miles using mechanisms we don’t fully understand,” she says. “They’re the world’s most overlooked birds.”
Interestingly, both pigeons and doves are members of the Columbidae family, and while the term ‘pigeon’ tends to be applied to larger species and ‘dove’ to smaller ones, Mosco notes in her illustrated field guide that there is barely scientific or evolutionary distinction to either group.
There’s also evidence wild pigeons were a staple food source for Neanderthals, and later humans, beginning at least 67,000 years ago. What is more well known is the pigeon’s invaluable service of long-distance communication for many different civilizations, from the ancient Romans to Genghis Khan.
“For much of their history, they signified wealth and power,” says Mosco. “They were flying Ferraris.” In some parts of the world, the fastest pigeons still fetch mind-boggling sums. In 2020, a single racing pigeon named New Kim was sold for around $1.9 million in a Belgian auction (拍卖).
With pigeons everywhere we look in urban life, it may be difficult to imagine a world without pigeons. But even these adaptable birds are not immune to extinction.
4. Which word can replace “loathe” in paragraph 1?
A. Hate. B. Chase.
C. Observe. D. Analyze.
5. Why are pigeons called “biological marvels”?
A. They can only take off in a vertical way.
B. They can make milk for young children.
C. They have abilities beyond human’s imagination.
D. They have a tendency to be overlooked by humans.
6. What do we know about pigeons and doves?
A. Pigeons and doves have distinct origins.
B. Pigeons are used to carry large sums of money.
C. Scientifically speaking, little difference exists between them.
D. Pigeon’s service of long-distance communication isn’t valuable.
7. What might be illustrated about pigeons in the following paragraphs?
A. Pigeons in urban areas around the world.
B. Examples of how adaptable pigeons can be.
C. Basic facts about pigeons’ immune system.
D. Pigeons becoming an endangered species.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要以人们习以为见的鸽子为话题，讲述了鸽子的特性，尤其是人们难以想象的一些能力和科普知识，在城市生活中，鸽子无处不在，可能很难想象没有鸽子的世界。但即使是这些适应性强的鸟类也不能幸免于灭绝。
【4题详解】
词义猜测题。根据后文的原因“for the way they mess up parked cars or flock to food wastes on the sidewalk(因为它们把停着的汽车弄得一团糟，或者成群结队地吃人行道上的食物垃圾)”可知，鸽子做出的是一些不好的行为，因此，人们会讨厌鸽子。因此可推知，“loathe”应是与选项A“Hate.(讨厌，厌恶。)”表达含义一致。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“‘They make milk for their young. They can take off almost vertically. They see colors we can’t, hear sounds we can’t, and find their way across hundreds of miles using mechanisms we don’t fully understand,’ she says. (“它们为幼崽分泌鸽乳。它们几乎可以垂直起飞。它们能看到我们看不到的颜色，能听到我们听不到的声音，还能利用我们不完全理解的机制在数百英里之外找到路。”)”可知，鸽子有为分泌鸽乳的能力，垂直起飞的能力，看到人类看不到的颜色，听到人类听不到的声音以及找到路的能力，这些能力都是人类无法想象的，因此被称为“生物学上的奇迹”。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“Mosco notes in her illustrated field guide that there is barely scientific or evolutionary distinction to either group(Mosco在她的插图野外指南中指出，这两个群体几乎没有科学或进化上的区别)”可知，“pigeons”和“doves”虽是两个群体，但从科学方面或进化方面来说几乎没有区别。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章末尾段末尾句内容“But even these adaptable birds are not immune to extinction.(但即使是这些适应性强的鸟类也不能幸免于灭绝。)”可推知，后文应是会讲到鸽子也面临着灭绝的危机。故选D项。
C
Microsoft is reportedly delighted with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, a natural-language artificial-intelligence program capable of generating text that reads as if a human wrote it. Taking advantage of easy access to finance over the past decade, companies and venture-capital funds invested billions in an AI arms race, resulting in a technology that can now be used to replace humans across a wider range of tasks. This could be a disaster not only for workers, but also for consumers and even investors.
The problem for workers is obvious: there will be fewer jobs requiring strong communication skills, and thus fewer positions that pay well. Cleaners, drivers, and some other manual workers will keep their jobs, but everyone else should be afraid. Consider customer service. Instead of hiring people to interact with customers, companies will increasingly rely on generative AIs like ChatGPT to comfort angry callers with clever and soothing words. Fewer entry-level jobs will mean fewer opportunities to start a career.
Consumers, too, will suffer. Chatbots may be fine for handling entirely routine questions, but it is not routine questions that generally lead people to call customer service. When there is a real issue – like an airline coming to a standstill or a pipe bursting in your basement – you want to talk to a well-qualified, empathetic professional with the ability to tackle problems. You do not want to be put on hold for eight hours, but nor do you want to speak immediately to a talkative but ultimately useless chatbot.
Today, the predictive power of algorithms (算法) should be used to help people, rather than to replace them. If AIs can offer recommendations for human consideration, the ability to use such recommendations wisely will be recognized as a valuable human skill. Unfortunately, these opportunities are being neglected. Everyone is focused on using AI to cut labor costs, with little concern not only for the immediate customer experience but also for the future of American consumption power.
8. What kind of employees are most likely to lose their jobs?
A. City cleaners. B. Taxi drivers.
C. Delivery men. D. Telephone operators.
9. What’s disadvantage of a chatbot?
A. It can’t handle realistic problems.
B. It needs real persons to operate on it.
C. It doesn’t have ability to comfort customers.
D. It can’t cope with routine questions well enough.
10. What is author’s attitude towards AI-based products?
A. Delighted but suspicious.
B. Concerned and negative.
C. Supportive but cautious.
D. Neutral and indifferent.
11. Which is the best title for the story?
A. What’s Wrong with ChatGPT?
B. Dangerous ChatGPT:Troublemaker.
C. What’s ChatGPT?
D. Future of AI Has Come.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了 ChatGPT带来的一些问题。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段前两句“The problem for workers is obvious: there will be fewer jobs requiring strong communication skills, and thus fewer positions that pay well. Cleaners, drivers, and some other manual workers will keep their jobs, but everyone else should be afraid. (工人们面临的问题很明显：需要强大沟通技巧的工作岗位将会减少，因此薪资高的职位也会减少。清洁工、司机和其他一些体力劳动者将保住他们的工作，但其他人应该感到害怕。)”可知，清洁工、司机和劳动者会保住自己的工作，而在需要沟通技巧岗位上的可能会失去工作。故D项“电话接线员”很有可能失去工作。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“When there is a real issue – like an airline coming to a standstill or a pipe bursting in your basement – you want to talk to a well-qualified, empathetic professional with the ability to tackle problems.(当出现真正的问题时——比如一家航空公司陷入瘫痪或你地下室的管道爆裂——你想要和一个合格的、有同理心的、有能力解决问题的专业人士谈谈。)”可知，聊天机器人无法解决一些现实问题。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“This could be a disaster not only for workers, but also for consumers and even investors. 这不仅对工人来说是一场灾难，对消费者甚至投资者来说也是一场灾难。)”，第四段第一句“Today, the predictive power of algorithms (算法) should be used to help people, rather than to replace them.(今天，算法的预测能力应该被用来帮助人们，而不是取代他们。)”和最后一句“Everyone is focused on using AI to cut labor costs, with little concern not only for the immediate customer experience but also for the future of American consumption power.(每个人都专注于使用人工智能来削减劳动力成本，不仅很少关心眼前的客户体验，也很少关心美国未来的消费能力。)”可知， 作者对基于AI的产品的态度是担忧的、消极的。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段最后一句“Fewer entry-level jobs will mean fewer opportunities to start a career.(入门级工作越少，开启职业生涯的机会就越少。)”，第三段最后一句“You do not want to be put on hold for eight hours, but nor do you want to speak immediately to a talkative but ultimately useless chatbot.(你不想等待8个小时，但你也不想立即与一个健谈但最终无用的聊天机器人交谈。)”以及第四段第二、三句“If AIs can offer recommendations for human consideration, the ability to use such recommendations wisely will be recognized as a valuable human skill. Unfortunately, these opportunities are being neglected. (如果人工智能可以提供建议供人类考虑，那么明智地使用这些建议的能力将被视为一种有价值的人类技能。不幸的是，这些机会被忽视了。)”可知，文章主要介绍了ChatGPT 的一些问题。A项“What’s Wrong with ChatGPT? (ChatGPT有什么问题?)”概括全文，可以作为标题。故选A项。
D
Now, the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) has approved two drugs that may slow the cognitive decline destroying the lives of millions of Alzheimer’s patients.
But both approvals are highly controversial. They were only based on the drugs’ ability to remove plaques (斑块), which were thought to be the underlying cause of the disease. Also, the drugs are expensive, can cause adverse side effects, and may have modest benefits. Some experts argue that the treatment benefits don’t clearly outweigh the risks.
For years, getting rid of plaques has been the primary focus of researches and drug development. But the approvals have aroused a debate over whether this is the best way to attack the disease. Many scientists note that the result so far is just two drugs with limited efficiency, and they have called for far more funding to look for other theories.
The drug the FDA approved last week, known as Lecanemab, is the first to show evidence of slowing cognitive decline in clinical trials. The other drug, known as Aducanumab, was shown to remove plaques, but was not proven to arrest the loss of cognitive ability. But Lecanemab’s promise has been clouded by the death of three patients in an extension of the study.
Matthew Schrag, a neurologist, thinks that the benefits are modest at best. The researchers used an 18-point clinical dementia rating scale to assess a patient’s memory and problem solving skills among other aspects of cognitive and functional performance; the higher the score, the worse the dementia. Those on Lecanemab scored 1.21 whereas those taking the placebo(安慰剂) averaged 1.66, which shows that those taking the drug experienced 27 percent less cognitive decline.
“The question is whether the average patient in a clinic would notice that benefit,” Schrag says. “I don’t think they would.” More importantly, it’s the drug’s safety that concerns him. “I think we’re just beginning to see the tip of the iceberg with the risks.” Schrag and others are not convinced they are central to delaying or arresting disease progression.
12. What can make the approvals controversial?
A. The drugs’ low price.
B. The drugs’ benefits of improving cognition.
C. The drugs’ effects.
D. The drugs’ ability to cause plaques.
13. What can be inferred from paragraph 3 and paragraph 4?
A. Lecanemab’s future is promising.
B. The two drugs are beneficial to Alzheimer.
C. Few money are needed to seek alternative theories.
D. Aducanumab can arrest the loss of cognitive ability.
14. Which of the following statements may Matthew Schrag agree with?
A. A large quantity of risks is waiting for us to explore.
B. Average patients can notice the benefits unquestionably.
C. Scientists are central to delaying the disease progression.
D. Patients receiving Lecanemab lost 27 percent of their cognitive ability.
15. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The limited efficiency of two new drugs.
B. Researches conducted to test two new drugs.
C. The potential dangers Alzheimer’s patients face.
D. Matthew Schrag’s distinctive insight of the Alzheimer.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了这两种在治疗效果方面富有争议的阿尔茨海默病药物。美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）批准药物是依据药物在去除斑块方面的能力，但是，药物很贵，可能会引起不良的副作用。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“They were only based on the drugs’ ability to remove plaques…Also, the drugs are expensive, can cause adverse side effects, and may have modest benefits.(他们只是基于药物去除斑块的能力……而且，这些药物很贵，可能会引起不良的副作用，可能有不太多的好处。)”可知，药物的许可只是基于其去除斑块的能力，但是，药物很贵，可能有不良副作用，也可能带来不太多的好处，因此可知，让批准引起争议的地方在于药物的效果。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段内容“The drug the FDA approved last week, known as Lecanemab, is the first to show evidence of slowing cognitive decline in clinical trials. The other drug, known as Aducanumab, was shown to remove plaques, but was not proven to arrest the loss of cognitive ability.(美国食品药品监督管理局上周批准的药物Lecanemab是第一个在临床试验中显示出减缓认知能力下降的证据。另一种被称为Aducanumab的药物被证明可以去除斑块，但没有被证明可以阻止认知能力的丧失。)”可知，Lecanemab在临床测试中显示出了减缓认知能力下降的证据，而Aducanumab则被证明可以去除斑块，由此可推知，这两种药物对患有阿尔茨海默的病人是有用的。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章末尾段内容Matthew Schrag 的话“I think we’re just beginning to see the tip of the iceberg with the risks.(我认为我们只是开始看到风险的冰山一角。)”可知，在他看来，目前只是看到了药物带来的风险的一小部分，因此可推知，选项A“A large quantity of risks is waiting for us to explore.(大量的风险等待着我们去探索。)”的论述应是他赞同的。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通过阅读文章可知，文章首段内容“Now, the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) has approved two drugs that may slow the cognitive decline destroying the lives of millions of Alzheimer’s patients.(现在，美国食品药品监督管理局（FDA）批准了两种药物，这两种药物可能会减缓认知能力下降，从而摧毁数百万阿尔茨海默病患者的生活。)”提出了文章核心话题“两种被批准的帮助阿尔茨海默病的药物”，且结合关键句“But both approvals are highly controversial.(但这两项批准都极具争议。)”“Also, the drugs are expensive, can cause adverse side effects, and may have modest benefits.(而且，这些药物很贵，可能会引起不良的副作用，可能有不太多的好处。)”可知，文章主要讲述了这两种在治疗效果方面富有争议的阿尔茨海默病药物。选项A“The limited efficiency of two new drugs.(两种新药的疗效有限。)”贴合主旨。故选A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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
For some travelers, a catamaran (双体船) sail off Oahu, Hawaii, or a camel ride through the desert in Morocco isn’t an enviable vacation experience. It’s an encounter with nausea, dizziness, and cold sweats. Motion sickness like this can happen to almost anyone, including children and dogs._____16_____
The easiest way to overcome motion sickness is to prevent it from happening in the first place._____17_____You can either open a window in the car, turn on the air vent above you on the plane, or head to the deck on a cruise ship.
“And be careful what you eat when you travel,” says Bubka. Anything that upsets your stomach on dry land—eating too much (or too little), drinking excessive amounts of alcohol or caffeine—could be amplified by motion.
“Do everything you can to be sure your view isn’t blocked,” says Natascha Tuznik, a doctor who specializes in travel medicine at the University of California Davis.
“_____18_____Sitting in the front seat of the car where you can see the road can be also helpful.” Closely watching what’s coming helps your eyes and inner ears cooperate more quickly with other bodily functions. .
_____19_____The Puma Method, developed by a flight surgeon to serve airsick pilots, uses yoga-like stretches and angular movements to build up anti-nausea conditioning. A 2020 study at England’s University of Warwick found that, after doing 15-minute visual and spatial training exercises (finding hidden objects in puzzles, folding paper), many subjects didn’t get sick when taken for car rides.
“_____20_____” says Cherchi. “The disadvantage is that they can lead to considerable discomfort, at least initially.”
A. Breathtaking view can make you less sick.
B. Here’s what travelers can do to prevent it.
C. You can look at the horizon if you’re out to sea.
D. Keeping fresh air flowing while traveling is advisable.
E. The advantage is that these approaches don’t require medication.
F. Yoga is recommended if someone wants to overcome motion sickness.
G. Physical or mental exercises can also help train humans to be less motion sick.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了历史上雅典人们抗击病毒的故事。
【36题详解】
考查过去进行时。句意：公元前432年，雅典和斯巴达的城市正在一场战争中交战，一场致命的疾病席卷了雅典，恐惧和恐慌席卷了雅典的市民。空处为时间状语从句的谓语动词，结合时间“In 432 B.C.”及“in a war,”可知，此处表示战争正在发生，所以用过去进行时，主语是the cities of Athens and Sparta谓语动词用复数形式。故填were battling。
【37题详解】
考查现在分词作状语。句意同上。分析可知，空处及之后的内容在句中为状语，表示“这场致命的疾病席卷雅典带来的结果”，句子主语“a deadly illness”和动词“strike”为主谓关系，所以填现在分词，故填striking。
【38题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：这种疾病通过港口城市 Piraeus 传播到雅典，并扩散到希腊和地中海东部，导致该国近三分之一的人口死亡，甚至包括当时的伟大领袖，66岁的Pericles被包含在内。分析可知，“66-year-old Pericles　　　(include)”为独立主格，名词Pericles和动词include为动宾关系，所以此处用过去分词included。故填included。
【39题详解】
考查表语从句。句意：似乎市民们唯一能做的就是等死。分析句子可知，空处及之后的内容在句中为表语从句，空后的内容句意完整，成分齐全，所以空处使用连接词that，故填that。
【40题详解】
考查不定式作目的状语。句意：为了保护雅典人民，当大流行刚刚爆发时，Pericles命令雅典人在城市新建的“长城”内迁移，但那是真正的噩梦开始的时候。分析句子可知，逗号前的所有内容在句中为目的状语，表示“Pericles ordered the Athenians to move within the city’s newly built ‘long walls’”的目的，所以空处用不定式，因处于句首，所以首字母大写。故填To protect。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：这为这种疾病提供了完美的条件，使大流行能够更迅速地感染更多的雅典人口。分析句子可知，空处及之后的内容为定语从句，先行词为conditions，在从句中作状语，所以用关系副词where，故填where。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：在希腊历史上，古希腊历史学家修昔底德(Thucydides)曾是这种疾病的受害者并幸存下来，他在书中写道：“健康的人突然遭到头部剧烈发热、眼睛发红和发炎的严重袭击，喉咙或舌头等内部部分变得血淋淋，并散发出不自然的恶臭。”副词修饰动词attacked，所以此处用副词severely，作状语。故填severely。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：尽管有书面证据表明这种疾病，但其病因仍然不明。空处在句中为定语，修饰名词evidence，与名词为动宾关系，所以此处用过去分词written，作为形容词，作定语，故填written。
【44题详解】
考查表语从句。句意：可能就是我们现在所说的伤寒和埃博拉。分析句子可知，空处及之后的内容为表语从句，动词call缺少间接宾语，表示“……东西”，应用连接代词what，故填what。
【45题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：人类历史上有许多抗击流行病的战斗，这些战斗可以反过来改变历史本身。短语：consist of“由……组成”，无被动形式，分析可知，本句表示客观事实，时态用一般现在时；句子主语“The history of mankind”为单数含义，所以空处用单数，故填consists。

第三节(满分25分)
57. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It is not a new thing to be told to ‘adopt pets don’t shop’ since this concept is gradually becoming more well known. Yet, equally important is that owners should think thoroughly before they even adopt one.
I adopted a street cat a couple of months ago. It was a one-year-old cat in a cat shelter that really had my empathy. He was named SingCi — a ginger patched tabby cat. My mom and I almost fell in love with him at the first sight. He was a good looking, healthy boy who was found on the street along with his cage and all his toys in front of a flower shop. According to the flower shop owner, the poor cat was docile and calm for the first day of his abandonment. Random pedestrians who walked past were able to pet him. However, days after he realized his owner would never come and pick him up, he became so stressed that he turned super aggressive.
It was a tough period living with him. Nobody could approach him. Not even when it’s feeding time. He was constantly angry and would attack whoever opened his cage. I had to wear protective gloves even when I was just giving him his meals. He would rather wait until everyone distanced themselves before he began feasting. Even when he did, he growled and hissed while eating, watching out at the same time for anyone who might come close.
One day, I decided to open the cage and feed him outside. He growled again and without any warning, he scratched me on the back of my right hand and drew blood. Despaired and furious, I threw him back into the cage hard, screaming, “You, son of Devil! Get back to the street!” I picked up the cage and intended to head out.
注意: 1.续写词数应为150 左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Are you truly ready for him? You need some strategies.” Mom stopped me.

Months later, SingCi eventually got used to having people around him.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 “Are you truly ready for him? You need some strategies.” Mom stopped me. Hearing my mother’s words, I was deeply in thought, “What I am doing now is something like the anger I once put to my mom.” Every time I lost my temper, she would comfort me and tries her best to make me pleased, which helped me a lot and changed me into a temper-controlled guy. It occurred to me suddenly that I had to help the poor creature. I apologized to him and carried the cage back, feeding him again while standing beside him. (84)
Months later, SingCi eventually got used to having people around him. Every time he was served to have his meal, he would sat still, waiting. After all was ready, he would start to enjoy and sometimes sounded pleasantly. Besides, he would come to me and play with me, with his fur rubbing me. I felt greatly moved and excited. I knew what I did to the poor creature finally paid off. I thought to myself that I would have SingCi companied me in the later life.(75)
【解析】
