I still remember how a pet mouse was popular among my classmates in Broadbeach State School. One day, my friends and I decided to buy a pet mouse. The pet shopkeeper wouldn’t sell us one until he got our parents’ letter that could show their permission for us to get a pet. So, having the neatest handwriting, I faked one. The store owner quickly saw through my handwriting and asked me to contact my mother to confirm the situation. My trick quickly failed, and it was all messed up.

My mum got very angry and felt that the punishment should fit the crime. Knowing that my writing was poor and always in need of improvement, she made me write letters to a few randomly selected relatives. One of them was my uncle whom I’d only met a few times when I was a kindergartner. I wrote a long letter detailing my life and listing my interests.

My punishment was complete. I forgot about this until I suddenly got a reply from my uncle.  “How lovely to hear from you,” he said, and went on to tell me all about his life. He’d love to hear about what subjects at school I enjoyed. And so started a correspondence(信件往来)that went on for several years. He turned out to be the most fascinating man.

Then out of the blue, he died. My mum took the phone call and she was shocked. She deeply regretted it as they had not really spoken for years because of their busy life and workload. I went upstairs and produced a box of letters, the last one being from just a few days before he had passed away. My mum began to read them and knew that although she hadn’t been in touch, I had grown close to him by writing to him, which relieved and calmed her. In fact, I then became close to his wife, whom I also wrote to for many years.

I often think about how that one naughty childhood crime led to such an enriching correspondence that stretched on for many years. It encouraged me to write to lots of other people in fact, and it’s something I keep up with to this day. Besides, receiving a letter is such a lovely surprise. Be bold and write to someone you maybe don’t know that well. Who knows where it will lead?

24．Why did the author’s mum ask him to write a letter to his uncle?

A．Because he did something wrong.

B．Because they hadn’t spoken for years.

C．Because his uncle wanted to hear from them.

D．Because he wanted to share his joy of owning a pet.

25．What can we learn about the author?

A．He ended the correspondence after his uncle passed away.

B．He found his uncle extremely interesting and attractive.

C．He was not interested in keeping in contact with his uncle.

D．His mum kept close contact with his uncle through letters.

26．How did the author’s mother feel when reading the letters?

A．Comforted.

B．Regretful.

C．Astonished.

D．Pleased.

27．What main message does the writer express in the passage?

A．We should appreciate something before it’s gone.

B．Writing letters can be a way to make up for past mistakes.

C．It’s important to tell the truth and be honest in your writing.

D．Writing letters has the power of strengthening bonds with others.

C

It wasn’t until I graduated from college that I subsequently realized that knowledge is so endless that I was able to learn for pleasure. A sense of curiosity, rather than perfectionism, guided me. I started to see dictionaries as field guides to the life of language. Looking up words encountered in the wild felt less like a failure and more like an admission that I still didn’t know lots of things and an opportunity to discover more.

I cherish my 1954 copy of Webster’s New International Dictionary given by my roommate. I often consult it during the evening games of Scrabble or midday magazine reading. I mostly read novels at night, in bed, so when I come across unfamiliar words, I fold the bottom of the page and then look them up word by word. When I start encountering these words, the language world seems to shrink to the size of a small town.

Wikipedia answers questions with more questions, opening up pages of information you never asked for. But a dictionary builds on common knowledge, using simple words to explain more complex ones. Using one feels as if I’m opening an oyster (牡蛎)with curiosity. Unknown words become mysteries, and solving them gives me satisfaction. Why always leave them up to guesswork? Why not consult a dictionary and feel the instant contentment of pairing context with a definition?

Dictionaries reward you for paying attention, both to the things you consume and to your own curiosity. They are an entrance into the kind of childish urge to just know things, which I had before learning became a duty instead of a game.

For most of you, dictionaries are a gateway into that kind of unconsidered knowledge-seeking. They remind you that, when it comes to learning, allowing your curiosity is just as important as paying attention. After all, isn’t curiosity really just another form of attention? Following your curiosity instead of pushing it away, consult your dictionary and feel connected to more than what’s right in front of you.

28．What does consulting dictionaries mean to the author?

A．A guide to shape his character.

B．A complete admission of failure.

C．A chance to explore the unknown.

D．A unique way of perfecting himself.

29．What does “cherish” underlined in paragraph 2 mean?

A．Lose. B．Prize.

C．Edit. D．Publish.

30．Why is Wikipedia mentioned in paragraph 3?

A．To show advantages of dictionaries.

B．To indicate the importance of technology.

C．To introduce another powerful learning tool.

D．To prove the benefits of using the search engine.

31．What does the author try to do in the last paragraph?

A．Make an appeal.

B．Raise doubts.

C．Give a warning.

D．Express thanks.

Adapting to technological advances is a defining part of the 21s-century life. Just two months after being launched in November 2022, OpenAI’s ChatGPT has already reached an audience of over 100 million people. While ChatGPT threatens to change writing and writing-related work, the Mesopotamians, who lived 4,000 years ago in a geographical area centered in modern-day Iraq, went through this kind of far-reaching change before us.

Ancient Mesopotamia was home to many of civilization’s early developments. Its people were world leaders in adapting to technological and cultural changes. They invented the wheel and agriculture, and pioneered advances in mathematics and urbanization. These breakthroughs are reflected in cuneiform(楔形文字)literature，one of the oldest known forms of writing.

In its literature, Mesopotamians don’t present cultural and technological advances as consistently beneficial.They often represent new technologies being controlled in the service of human conflict and mostly serving the interests of those with high social positions. In some ways，the representation of new technologies in its literature echoes(映现)contemporary concerns about AI: fears of increasing social inequalities and its potential use in information war.

In recent years，AI-the newest form of writing-has been used to decipher(破译)the oldest: cuneiform literature.In broader fields,the boundaries of how AI may be used haven’t been clearly explained.In January,for example, a top international AI conference banned the use of AI tools for writing scientific papers.

Humans have been struggling to invent, use and adapt to technology since our earliest civilizations. But the technology and resulting knowledge are not always evenly distributed. Knowing how we adapted to changing technology in the past helps us more fully understand the human condition and may even help us prepare for the future.

32．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about concerning Mesopotamians?

A．Their adaptation to threats.

B．Their influences on writing.

C．Their contribution to literature.

D．Their achievements in civilization.

33．What can be inferred about technological advances from paragraph 3?

A．They prevent human conflict.

B．They bring about hidden dangers.

C．They take away people’s concerns.

D．They lower people’s social status.

34．What is the current situation of AI according to paragraph 4?

A．Its use in literature is popular.

B．It is not allowed to finish papers.

C．Its range of application is undefined.

D．It is not accepted in broader fields.

35．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．How People Can Use the Latest Technology

B．How ChatGPT Will Threaten Writing and Work

C．What AI Will Do by Learning Cuneiform Literature

D．What History Can Teach Us About New Tech’s Impact

第二节 (其5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

根据短文内容，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。

The Value of Tears

Tears can ruin make-up, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose. Tears leave you embarrassed and without energy. Still, crying is a fact of life, and your tears are very useful. Even when you’re not crying, they make a film over the eye’s surface.___36___

When tears fall, they reduce stress. But we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. “People worry about showing their emotions, afraid that once they lose control they’ll never get it back.”___37___ After we cry, the feelings that caused the tears often disappear.

Sometimes people become much stressed and can’t cry. Whatever emotion they are feeling—shock, anger, fear, or sadness—is being held back.

But everyone has the need to cry. Psychologist Vera Diamond explains that her treatment often consists of giving people permission to cry. ___38___Patients practice crying just to become used to expressing emotions. She suggests safe, private places to cry, like under the bedcovers or in the car. Crying is a way of reducing tension, but people don’t like it when others cry because it makes them tense.___39___ And they’ll do just about anything to make you stop.

In certain situations, such as at work, tears are not appropriate. It’s good not to cry during a tense business discussion.___40___You should also act out the whole situation again and be as noisy and angry as you like. It will help you feel better. “And,” she adds, “Once your tears have taken away the stress, you can begin to think calmly of ways to deal with the problem.”

Tears are a sign of our ability to feel. If you find yourself near someone crying, deal with it. And never be afraid to cry yourself.

A．They too may be holding back a need to cry.

B．They cry for different reasons.

C．She gives crying exercises.

D．It contains a chemical against infection.

E．The fact is that no emotion lasts forever.

F．It forms in response to the stress on the surface of the eye.

G．But once you’re safely behind closed doors, don’t just cry.
