一、阅读理解    A national park is an area of scenic beauty, historical importance, etc. owned and maintained by a national government. Here are some with the most breathtaking scenery and delicate ecosystems.    Acadia National Park    America has the largest system of national parks in the world—58 national parks are scattered all over the vast land with varied landscape. Almost completely surrounded by the sea, Acadia National Park is characterized by numerous valleys, lakes and peaks, and a wave-eroded coastline. A variety of land and sea life, both plants and animals are well protected in Acadia.    Etosha National Park    One of the top 10 African national parks is Etosha National Park in northwestern Namibia. The park is home to hundreds of species of mammals, birds and reptiles, including several threatened and endangered species such as the black rhinoceros. The Etosha Ecological Institute is responsible for research in the park. Classification of vegetation and ecological studies on wildebeest, elephants and lions were among the first ajor topics to be investigated.    Ort-Cros National Park    Ort-Cros National Park is a national park established on the Mediterranean island of Ort-Cros. It also administers natural areas in some surrounding locales. Established in 1963, Ort-Cros National Park is the first national park in Europe that unites land and marine protection zones. The protected area is about 1,700 hectares of land and 2,900 hectares of sea.    Shen Nongjia National Park    Shen Nongiia National Park is situated in the northwest of Hubei province. It is most famous for the subtropical rainforest ecosystem. The sphagnum(泥炭藓) wetland, known as “the earth’s kidney”, has a rich collection of orictocoenosis(生物化石) and serves as a shelter of a great variety of rare species, which is named “a green wonder at 31 degrees north latitude”.1、Which national park will interest an African wildlife fan?A.Acadia National Park. B.Etosha National Park.C.Ort-Cros National Park. D.Shen Nongjia National Park.2、What do Acadia National Park and Ort-Cros National Park have in common?A.There is an ecological institute for research.B.They feature a subtropical rainforest ecosystem.C.Sea life, as well as land life, are protected there.D.They are the largest national parks in the country.3、Where is the passage most probably from?A.A biology textbook. B.A geography magazine.C.A research paper.  D.A travel brochure.    In 2017, Yazd, a city in the desert of central Iran, was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Yazd has long been a focal point for creative inventiveness. It is home to an underground refrigeration structure called yakchat and an underground irrigation system called qanats. In addition, the city has the wind catcher, a cooling architectural element that has been used for thousands of years. And it has the most wind catchers in the world.    These remarkable towers are a common sight standing above the buildings of Yazd. There are two main forces that drive the air through and down into the structures: the incoming wind and the change in buoyancy(浮力) of air. First，as air is caught by the opening of a wind catcher, it is led down to the house below. Then the air flows throughout the inside of the building, sometimes over underground pools of water for further cooling. Eventually, warmed air will rise and leave the building through another tower or opening.    Some of the earliest wind-catching technology came from Egypt 3,300 years ago. Here, buildings had thick walls, few windows facing the sun, an opening to take in air and an exit opening on the other side known as malqaf architecture. Iran’s wind-catching technology is widely considered to have added structural improvements to allow for better cooling—such as typically combining it with its existing irrigation system to help to cool the air down before releasing it throughout the home.    The structures, which require no electricity to power them, are now drawing scientists back to the desert city to see what role they could play in keeping us cool in a rapidly heating world. Parham Kheirkhah Sangdeh has extensively studied the scientific application and surrounding culture of wind catchers in contemporary architecture at Ilam University in Iran. He hopes to see Iran’s wind catchers updated to add energy-efficient cooling to existing buildings. “People need to keep an eye on the past and understand why energy conservation is important,” he says.4、Which of the following makes the city of Yazd unusual?A.Its long history.  B.Its extreme climates.C.Its ancient innovative wonders. D.Its central geographical position.5、Where is the opening of a wind catcher?A.Near a house’s door. B.Above the rooftop.C.Beside the underground pools. D.Beneath a house’s windows.6、How does Iran’s wind catcher differ from Egypt’s malqaf ?A.It is surrounded by thicker walls.B.It has no windows facing the sun.C.It requires no electricity to power it.D.It takes advantage of water’s properties.7、What is Parham Kheirkhah Sangdeh working on?A.Introducing wind catchers into today’s buildings.B.Studying the earliest wind catchers in Egypt.C.Repairing traditional wind catchers in Yazd.D.Creating energy conservation labs at Ilam University.    Dear boss—You have always tried to attract young consumers, and our consultants have always come up with new ways to label them. The trouble is that coming up with rules to define a group of humanity is more art than science. It is likely to become an exercise in applying stereotypes; not every youngster is drinking kombucha in a Brooklyn storehouse. Luckily you have me, and I’m here to tell you that much of what is written about marketing to today’s most prized consumers is a myth.    Start with the idea that, glued to smartphones, youngsters barely notice the physical world and passively follow the latest hit from Instagram or TikTok. It’s true that the days of marketing chiefly through television, newspapers and magazines are long gone. However, social media has not just changed the ways people discover brands; it has weakened the power of marketing as a whole. Online, talk is cheap and prices are readily Googled. Digital natives, therefore, can easily fact-check our suspicious marketing claims and ads. Surveys suggest that young Americans are among the most price-sensitive food shoppers, even though they have accumulated less wealth than earlier generations had by the same age.    There is a similar urge to think that physical shops no longer matter. Young consumers love their Amazon deliveries. It makes sense for our company to make sales via social media and ship directly to customers’ homes. But what works best is the close integration of the digital and physical worlds. Remember those online-only beauty brands like Glossier, which took the world by storm during the pandemic. It turns out that they struggle to get repeat business and have had to pair up with physical shops. What really matters is avoiding insincerity. Dishonesty is easily exposed online, where everyone loves a takedown. Remember the strong resistance to Boohoo, a fast-fashion firm, when it appointed Kourtney Kardashian, a celebrity leading a luxurious life, as a “sustainability ambassador”? And commit only to causes you can tangibly support and be frank when you are putting profits first. Anyway, nobody is perfect. To pretend otherwise is so 2013.8、Why is there trouble with finding rules to define a group of people?A.Because fixed ideas may be inappropriately employed.B.Because not everybody is into drinking tea at a storehouse.C.Because art is more challenging to learn than science.D.Because the consultants are not as expert as the author.9、What is the purpose of mentioning the surveys about young Americans in Paragraph 2?A.To reveal their incompetence in saving money.B.To illustrate they are sensitive to the prices of food online.C.To demonstrate marketing has a great impact on their spending habits.D.To prove they are not passive receivers of online marketing tricks.10、Which of the following statements may the author agree with?A.Celebrities work as reliable ambassadors.B.Young customers don’t visit physical shops.C.Dishonesty in marketing was not rare in 2013.D.Traditional media still play a major role in marketing.11、What is a suitable title for the text?A.How to Expand Youth Market: From Ideas to PracticeB.How to Sell to the Young: From Myth to TruthC.How to Attract Young Customers: Honesty and ProfitsD.How to Increase Sales Online: Labeling and Marketing    In a new study, Iowa Psychologist Ed Wasserman gave the pigeons complex categorization tests that high-level thinking would not aid in solving. Instead, the pigeons, by trial and error, eventually were able to memorize enough situations in the test. This basic process of making associations—considered a lower-level thinking technique—is the same between the test-taking pigeons and the latest AI advances.    The researchers sought to figure out two types of learning: one declarative learning, is based on exercising reason according to a set of rules or strategies—a so-called higher level of learning owned mostly by people. The other, associative learning, centers on recognizing and making connections between objects or patterns, such as “sky-blue” and “water-wet.”    Wasserman’s team designed a difficult test to find out whether the pigeons use declarative or associative learning. Each test pigeon was shown a stimulus(刺激) and had to decide, by pecking(啄) a button on the right or on the left, to which category that stimulus belonged. What made the test so demanding was that no rules or logic would help finish the task. They have to memorize the individual stimuli or regions from where the stimuli occur. Over hundreds of tests, the four test pigeons eventually upped their score from 50% to an average of 68% right.    “The pigeons are like AI masters” Wasserman says. “Both of them employ associative learning, and yet that base-level thinking is what allowed the pigeons to ultimately score successfully.” If people were to take the same test, they’d score poorly and would probably give up because they rely so heavily on rules or strategies. Those rules would get in the way of learning. The pigeon doesn’t have that high-level thinking process. But it doesn’t get in the way of their learning. In fact, in some ways it facilitates it.    “People are stunned by AI doing amazing things using a learning algorithm(算法) much like the pigeon,” Wasserman says, “yet when people talk about associative learning in humans and animals, it is discounted as inflexible and uncomplicated. ”12、Which of the following is a typical example of associative learning ?A.Tom refuses to put hands on hot stoves after burns.B.Dolphins detect obstacles using sound waves.C.Chimpanzees use physical gesture strategies.D.Emily figures out math problems with logic.13、How did the pigeons improve their performance in the test?A.By pecking the stimuli. B.By finding rule or logic.C.By competing with each other. D.By making numerous attempts.14、What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.AI and man use the same learning pattern.B.Associative learning is underestimated.C.People think highly of declarative learning.D.Pigeons finish tasks with AI algorithms.15、Which can be a suitable title of the text?A.Pigeon’s Peck Can Mirror High TechB.AI Contributes to a New Learning PatternC.AI Can Enrich Human Learning ExperienceD.Pigeon’s Learning Largely Extends High Tech二、七选五16、    We've seen photographs that seem to show unbelievable images, thanks to photo editing software. But do you know you can create images that look impossible without any fancy software or computer effects? ①_____    Playing with perspective    One of the easiest tricks is called forced perspective. ②_____ The person in front will look large, and the person farther away will look very small. The person in front can hold out their hand as if they were holding something, and the person in back is being held in the front person's hand. You can also do this trick with objects like the sun or a full moon.    Flying superheroes    How can you take a photograph of a friend so that they seem to be flying superheroes? Have your friend dress up in a superhero costume, especially one with a cape(斗篷). You can pose them outside against the open sky, and have another friend hold the cape out so it looks like they're flying. Position yourself low and take the photo looking slightly upward so the ground isn't visible. After you take the photo, you can cut it, ③_____    Other tricks    You can have several of your friends lie flat on a solid-colored sheet so they're arranged to look like they're piled in a human pyramid. ④_____ If you take the photo in the moment when they are off the ground, you can cut it so they look like they're floating. Have a friend draw funny eyeballs on the back of their hand and then hold their hand across their real eyes for a funny face photo.    ⑤_____ The only rule is not to do anything risky and to have fun.A. so the hand holding the cape out isn't visible.B. so your friends look like they are trapped inside.C. You can create your own trick photos by exploring other ways to use all these tricks.D. You can also take a photo of your friend jumping up into the air.E. Here are some easy tricks that can create images fooling your eyes.F. The other method is to take a sheet, lay it flat on the ground, and decorate it with buildings.G. To do this, you set up a camera shot with someone close to the camera and someone farther away.三、完形填空（15空）    Jonathan Jones, 12, was overcome with emotion after his principal, who is also color blind, let him    1    his unique glasses during science class last week.    As soon as Jones put the glasses on, he appeared to be immediately    2    .

Not so with the latest Al tools. It is easy—from a writer’s perspective, uncomfortably so—①_____(think) of contexts in which something like ChatGPT, a clever chatbot which ②_____(take) the web by storm since its release in November 2022, could either dramatically boost a human worker’s productivity or replace them outright. The ChatGPT in its name stands for “generative pre-trained transformer”, ③_____ is a particular kind of language model.    ④_____(feed) huge amounts of human-created text, ChatGPT looks for statistical regularities in this data, learns what words and phrases ⑤_____(associate) with others and therefore predict what words should come next in any given sentence and ⑥_____ sentences fit together. The result is a machine that can persuasively mimic(模仿) human language.    This capacity ⑦_____ mimicry allows ChatGPT to write essays and poetry, think up jokes, formulate code, and answer questions whether to a child or an expert. Its performance is so astonishing ⑧_____ many over the past months have been both celebrating and panicking. “Essays are dead,” wrote the cognitive scientist Tim Kietzmann. Others claim that it will finish off Google as a search engine. And the program ⑨_____ thinks it may be able to replace humans in jobs from insurance agent to court reporter.    Nevertheless, there is an ⑩_____(underlie) problem that faces any form of artificial intelligence. A computer manipulates(处理) symbols. Its program specifies a set of rules with which to transform one string of symbols into another, or to recognize statistical patterns. But it does not specify what those symbols or patterns mean. To a computer, meaning is irrelevant ChatGPT "knows" what appears meaningful to humans, but not what is meaningful to itself五、书面表达33、假设你是明启中学学生李华，学校正在征求学生对云课堂的感受和建议。请发送一封邮件至校长信箱， 你的邮件内容须包括：1.详细描述一节云课堂以及你的感受；2.简单阐述你对云课堂的态度和建议。______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________六、读后续写34、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。    There’s a park close to my house, with a small lake in one corner that’s home to many creatures. Every Sunday morning, I go jogging in this park. As I circle the lake, I notice an elderly woman sitting by the water with a metal cage beside her.    Today, my curiosity made me stop and approach her.    As I took a closer look, I saw that the cage was actually a small metal trap, and there were a few turtles walking around the trap, unharmed. The lady took one of the turtles in her hands and gently rubbed the shell (壳) with a sponge (海绵) brush.    I came over to say hello to her politely. “Good morning,” I said. “I come here for jogging every Sunday morning and I see you sitting here by the lake. Please don’t mind my curiosity and innocence, but I really want to know what you’re doing to the turtles.”    The lady smiled and said, “I am cleaning the turtle’s shell. Turtles gradually get more and more algae (水藻) and other dirt on their shells, which weighs them down and prevents their swimming abilities. It also reduces their ability to absorb heat. Over time, their shells become weak and rot (腐烂) away.”    “Oh wow! That’s really thoughtful of you!” I shouted in shock.    She continued, “Every Sunday morning, I spend a couple of hours by the lake to relax and help out these little guys stay clean. Strange as it sounds, this is my little way to make a difference in the world.”    I thought for a while and said, “But all freshwater turtles have algae and other dirt on their shells.

The trouble is that coming up with rules to define a group of humanity is more art than science.(亲爱的老板—您一直试图吸引年轻消费者,而我们的顾问也总是想出新的方法来给他们贴上标签。问题在于,制定规则来定义一群人,与其说是科学,不如说是艺术)及最后一段中的And commit only to causes you can tangibly support and be frank when you are putting profits first. Anyway, nobody is perfect. To pretend otherwise is so 2013.(只致力于你能切实支持的事业,当你把利益放在第一位时,要坦率。无论如何,人无完人。假装不完美,那是2013年的事了)可知,文章是一封写给老板的一份打破常规的备忘录—想打开年轻人的市场,要对消费者坦诚相待。由此可知,How to Sell to the Young: From Myth to Truth(如何向年轻人推销:从神话到事实)适合作本文最佳标题。故选B。12、答案：A解析：推理判断题。根据第二段The other, associative learning, centers on recognizing and making connections between objects or patterns, such as "sky-blue" and "water-wet."(另一种是联想学习,侧重于识别和建立物体与物体之间或图案与图案之间的联系,比如“天一蓝”和“水一湿”。)可知,联想学习的本质是建立联系。在"汤姆烫伤后不愿把手放在热炉子上"这一现象中,汤姆把烫伤和热炉子联系了起来,这属于联想学习。选项A。13、答案：D解析：推理判断题。根据第三段Over hundreds of tests, the four test pigeons eventually upped their score from 50% to an average of 68% right.(经过数百次测试,四只测试鸽子的平均正确率从50%提高到68%。)可知,鸽子在测试中通过多次尝试提高它们的表现。选项D。14、答案：B解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段"People are stunned by Al doing amazing things using a learning algorithm(算法) much like the pigeon," Wasserman says, "yet when people talk about associative learning in humans and animals, it is discounted as inflexible and uncomplicated."(沃瑟曼说:"人们惊讶于人工智能使用像鸽子一样的学习算法做出惊人的事情,然而,当人们谈论人类和动物的联想学习时,它被认为是不灵活和简单的。")可知,人们认为联想学习法对人类和动物来说不灵活且简单,但人工智能却用这种学习法做出惊人的事情,由此推知,联想学习之是被低估了的。选项B。15、答案：A解析：标题归纳题。通读全文,结合第一段In a new study, Iowa Psychologist Ed Wasserman gave the pigeons complex categorization tests that high-level thinking would not aid in solving. Instead, the pigeons, by trial and error, eventually were able to memorize enough situations in the test. This basic process of making associations—considered a lower-level thinking technique—is the same between the test-taking pigeons and the latest AI advances.(在一项新的研究中,爱荷华州心理学家Ed Wasserman对鸽子进行了复杂的分类测试,这些测试是高级思维无法帮助解决的。相反,鸽子通过反复试验,最终能够在测试中记住足够多的情况。这种建立联系的基本过程—被认为是一种较低层次的思维技巧—在参与测试的鸽子和最新的人工智能发展之间是一样的。)和第三段中Each test pigeon was shown a stimulus(刺激) and had to decide, by pecking(啄) a button on the right or on the left, to which category that stimulus belonged.(每只测试鸽都被展示了一个刺激,并必须通过啄右边或左边的按钮来决定这个刺激属于哪一类)可知,心理学家通过实验证明鸽子和最新的人工智能使用了同样的建立联系的学习过程,同时实验中的鸽子需要通过啄按钮来完成任务。结合选项可推知,可用"Pigeon's Peck Can Mirror High Tech(鸽子啄按钮与高科技有共通之处)“是最佳标题。A.Pigeon's Peck Can Mirror High Tech.鸽子的啄可以反映高科技;B. AI Contributes to a New Learning Pattern.人工智能促成了一种新的学习模式;C. AI Can Enrich Human Learning Experience. AI可以丰富人类的学习经验;D. Pigeon's Learning Largely Extends High Tech.鸽子的学习很大程度上延伸了高科技。故选A。16、答案：EGADC解析：①联系上文题。上文But do you know you can create images that look impossible without any fancy software or computer effects? (但你知道吗,如果没有任何花哨的软件或计算机效果,你可以创造出看起来不可能的图像?)说明可以有拍摄技巧,与空格处是承上启下,因此E.Here are some easy tricks that can create images fooling your eyes.(这里有一些简单的技巧,可以创造出欺骗你眼睛的图像。)符合语境,故选E。②联系下文题。下文The person in front will look large, and the person farther away will look very small.(前面的人看起来很大,远处的人看起来很小。)说明的是距离远近和人物大小的关心,与空格处是因果关系,G.

associated⑥how⑦for⑧that⑨itself⑩underlying解析：①考查动词不定式。句意:从作家的角度来看,很容易想到像ChatGPT这样的智能聊天机器人,自2022年11月发布以来就在网络上掀起了风暴,它要么可以极大地提高人类工人的工作效率,要么可以完全取代他们。此处为it be adj. to do sth.句型,不定式作真正主语。故填to think。②考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:从作家的角度来看,很容易想到像ChatGPT这样的智能聊天机器人,自2022年11月发布以来就在网络上掀起了风暴,它要么可以极大地提高人类工人的工作效率,要么可以完全取代他们。空处为定语从句的谓语动词,根据后文since its release in November2022可知用现在完成时,定语从句谓语与先行词a clever chatbot保持一致,助动词用has。故填has taken。③考查非限制性定语从句。句意:ChatGPT顾名思义就是“生成式预训练转换器”,这是一种特殊的语言模型。非限制性定语从句修饰先行词The

associated with,结合上文learns可知为一般现在时,主语words and phrases是复数,谓语用复数形式。故填are associated。⑥考查宾语从句。句意:在大量的人工文本中,ChatGPT在这些数据中寻找统计规律,学习哪些单词和短语与其他单词和短语相关,从而预测在任何给定的句子中接下来应该出现哪些单词,以及句子如何组合。空处引导宾语从句,从句缺少方式状语,应用how。故填how。⑦考查介词。句意:这种模仿能力使ChatGPT能够写文章和诗歌,想出笑话,编写代码,并回答孩子或专家的问题。结合句意表示“……的能力”短语为capacity for...,故填for。⑧考查固定句型。句意:它的表现如此惊人,以至于在过去的几个月里,许多人既在庆祝,又在恐慌。此处为so...that...句型,表示"如此……以至于……",that引导结果状语从句,故填that。⑨考查反身代词。句意:该程序本身认为,它可能会取代人类从事从保险代理人到法庭记录员的工作。此处指程序"它本身"应用反身代词itself,作同位语。故填itself。⑩考查形容词。句意:然而,任何形式的人工智能都面临着一个潜在的问题。修饰名词problem应用形容词underlying,作定语。故填underlying。33、答案：Dear sir,    Hearing that the school is asking students for their feelings and suggestions on cloud classes. Here are some of my feelings and suggestions.    Because of the epidemic, we can’t go to school. Therefore, the school provides students with cloud classes, so that we can not miss our studies even at home. When the course began, I could clearly see the teacher on the computer screen, as well as his carefully prepared courseware for us. I can hear the voice of the teacher very clearly through the headset, which is a feeling I can’t feel in the classroom.    Cloud Classroom provides a good solution for students who cannot be taught face to face by teachers for some reasons. However, cloud classes can’t let students and teachers interact well, and the teacher can’t know whether students learn well. These need to be improved.    I hope these suggestions can help the school improve the cloud classroom.Yours,Li Hua34、答案：    However, I wasn’t completely sure whether it was worthwhile. “I appreciate your kind efforts, but don’t you think your time could be better spent? And 99% of these turtles don’t have kind people like you to help them clean off their shells, are your efforts really making an impact?” The lady laughed out loud, then looked up at me and said, “Dear, if this little one could speak, he’d gladly tell you that my care towards him makes a big difference in the world.” Her words made me understand one important lesson in life. Every little act of kindness counts.    “Can I help you clean the turtles?” I asked the lady. “Of course, you can,” she nodded and said with pleasure. She taught me patiently and told me how to make the turtles clean again. “You should rub the shell of them gently, otherwise you will hurt them,” she reminded me. I picked up a little turtle, trying to imitate her and using the sponge brush to clean the shell. With the algae and scum got rid of, the turtle looked relaxed and joyful. The old woman and I smiled at each other.
