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 toPigeon 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, andwhile 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, andlater 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 wereflying 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).英语试卷 第 4 页 共 12 页
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.24.Which word can replace “loathe” in paragraph 1？A. Hate. B. Chase. C. Observe. D. Analyze.25. Why are pigeons called “biological marvels”?They can only take off in a vertical way.They can make milk for young children.They have abilities beyond human’s imagination.They have a tendency to be overlooked by humans.26.What do we know about pigeons and doves?Pigeons and doves have distinct origins.Pigeons are used to carry large sums of money.Scientifically speaking, little difference exists between them.Pigeon’s service of long-distance communication isn’t valuable.27.What might be illustrated about pigeons in the following paragraphs?Pigeons in urban areas around the world.Examples of how adaptable pigeons can be.Basic facts about pigeons’ immune system.Pigeons becoming an endangered species.CMicrosoft is reportedly delighted with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, a natural-languageartificial-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 andventure-capital funds invested billions in an AI arms race, resulting in a technology that cannow 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 strongcommunication 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, companieswill increasingly rely on generative AIs like ChatGPT to comfort angry callers with cleverand 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 routinequestions, 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英语试卷 第 5 页 共 12 页
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, ratherthan 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.28.  What kind of employees are most likely to lose their jobs?A. City cleaners. B. Taxi drivers. C. Delivery men. D. Telephone operators.29.  What’s disadvantage of a chatbot?It can’t handle realistic problems.It needs real persons to operate on it.It doesn’t have ability to comfort customers.It can’t cope with routine questions well enough.30.  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.31.  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.DNow, 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 havemodest benefits. Some experts argue that the treatment benefits don’t clearly outweigh therisks.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.英语试卷 第 6 页 共 12 页
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. Theresearchers 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 drugexperienced 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.32.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.33.What can be inferred from paragraph 3 and paragraph 4?Lecanemab’s future is promising.The two drugs are beneficial to Alzheimer.Few money are needed to seek alternative theories.Aducanumab can arrest the loss of cognitive ability.34.Which of the following statements may Matthew Schrag agree with？A large quantity of risks is waiting for us to explore.Average patients can notice the benefits unquestionably.Scientists are central to delaying the disease progression.Patients receiving Lecanemab lost 27 percent of their cognitive ability.35.What is the main idea of the passage?The limited efficiency of two new drugs.Researches conducted to test two new drugs.The potential dangers Alzheimer’s patients face.Matthew Schrag’s distinctive insight of the Alzheimer.第二节（共5 小题；每小题2.5 分，满分12.5 分）英语试卷 第 7 页 共 12 页
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. 36The easiest way to overcome motion sickness is to prevent it from happening in thefirst place. 37 You can either open a window in the car, turn on the airvent 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.“ 38 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. .39 The Puma Method, developed by a flight surgeon to serve airsickpilots, 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.“ 40 ” says Cherchi. “The disadvantage is that they can lead toconsiderable discomfort, at least initially.”A. Breathtaking view can make you less sick.B. Here’s what travelers can do to prevent it.You can look at the horizon if you’re out to sea.Keeping fresh air flowing while traveling is advisable.The advantage is that these approaches don’t require medication.Yoga is recommended if someone wants to overcome motion sickness.Physical or mental exercises can also help train humans to be less motion sick.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A、B，C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选英语试卷 第 8 页 共 12 页

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 shelterthat 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英语试卷 第 11 页 共 12 页
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’sfeeding 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 andwithout 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.英语试卷 第 12 页 共 12 页
