From the back seat of a rental car, 2-year-old Hagen repeatedly asked his parents the same question: “Where’s Buzz?” Ashley Davis realized she had left her son’s favorite Buzz Lightyear action figure on the plane. She calmly explained to her son that Buzz was on a “special mission” and would return to him shortly. In fact, she was planning to purchase a replacement toy at a nearby store. Little did Davis know that Buzz was, in fact, on a special mission and would soon be back.
Jason William Hamm, an operations agent at Southwest Airlines, discovered the toy in the plane. He noticed the name Hagen on the bottom of Buzz’s boot. “I was thinking about how this little boy is missing his little buddy, ” Hamm said. Once he tracked down Hagen’s boarding record, he sent an email to the family, asking for the address.
While waiting for a response, Hamm got creative. He took photos of Buzz in front of an airplane, an engine and even a cockpit (驾驶员座舱). And he didn’t stop there. Hamm wrote a letter to Hagen, complete with a Buzz Lightyear logo.
“To Commander Hagen,” the letter reads. “I am very excited to return to you upon completing my mission. I was able to explore the airport and spaceport in Little Rock, Arkansas while I was away, and I have included photos of my adventure. My journey has taught me a lot but I am so thankful to return to my buddy.” Once hearing back from the Davis family, Hamm printed out the photos he took, bubble-wrapped Buzz, and put in the handwritten letter. Then he decorated the outside of the cardboard box with a drawing of Buzz Lightyear, stars and planets.
Upon opening the package, Davis was speechless. “You could see all the love he put into it,” she said. Hagen was extremely surprised. His excitement was caught on camera, and the couple sent a video of his reaction to Hamm. “Seeing the boy’s smile made it all worth it,” Hamm said.
4. What happened to Hagen’s toy?
A. It was missing accidentally.
B. It didn’t get aboard the plane.
C. It got replaced at a nearby store.
D. It was assigned a special mission.
5. What did Hamm do when he found the toy?

B. He turned to the airport staff for help.
C. He traced the information about its owner.
D. He took photos of it and posted them online.

ChatGPT is a new AI system that sounds so human in conversations that it could host its own radio programs. Reading between its instantly generated, perfectly grammatical lines, people see different visions of the future. Without doubt, ChatGPT is impressive.
Some compare the emergence of ChatGPT to the impact of the iPhone, but that doesn’t do it justice. ChatGPT, as well as the generative AI that will follow and outsmart it, is disruptive. And yet, that doesn’t necessarily mean the end of the world is upon us. On the contrary, ChatGPT, I would argue, might serve to make us more aware of our irreplaceable human qualities.
Take the creative act, writing in particular, as an example. If you want it to, the AI-powered chatbot (聊天机器人) always produces something because it has the whole world of online data to draw from. But unlike us, it lacks the consciousness. Thinking is hard, critical thinking even harder, and ChatGPT isn’t good at either. It just restates what has already been said; it is one big recycling machine.
There is another obvious limitation of ChatGPT. Philosopher Harry Frankfurt once claimed: the difference between a bullshitter (胡说八道的人) and a liar is that the liar knows what the truth is but decides to take the opposite direction; a bullshitter, however, has no regard for the truth at all. The AI scholar Gary Marus applies this distinction to ChatGPT. He believes that we have reached a critical point where “the price of bullshit reaches zero and people who want to spread misinformation, either politically or just to make a profit, start doing that plentifully”. Unfortunately, ChatGPT will reproduce misinformation from any of its input sources — it is not an intelligent system that tries to balance or weigh different perspectives. In this sense, everything that ChatGPT writes is bullshit.
This is why the so-called AIQ is critical. It is actually an extension and a measurement of our human IQ: our overall knowledge of AI tools, our mastery of clues, and our ethical awareness. ChatGPT is going to change everything — and nothing. Creativity, imagination and ethics — these will all remain unique human range. It is the AI’s very limitations that will make us appreciate our own.
8. What can we learn about ChatGPT from the passage?
A. It generates immediate language responses.
B. It provides instructions on writing skills.
C. It helps generate an artificial voice.
D. It offers a service for language learning.
9. What does the underlined word “disruptive” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Evil. B. Revolutionary. C. Profitable. D. Reliable.
10. Why does the author consider ChatGPT as a bullshit generator?
A. It makes up lies constantly.
B. It always takes a neutral standpoint.
C. It often makes unfair judgement.
D. It can’t tell right from wrong.
11. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. ChatGPT should be treated like a toy, not a tool.
B. ChatGPT is causing panic now.
C. ChatGPT makes us realize the unique human features.
D. ChatGPT is bound to generate bullshit.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,论述了与人类相比,新型人工智能ChatGPT的优点和缺点,从而赞美了只有人类所具有的创造力、想象力和道德这些独特品质。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Reading between its instantly generated, perfectly grammatical lines, people see different visions of the future.(在即时生成的、语法完美的字里行间阅读,人们看到了对未来的不同愿景。)”可知,ChatGPT可以即时生成文字。再结合第三段中的“If you want it to, the AI-powered chatbot(聊天机器人) always produces something because it has the whole world of online data to draw from.(如果你愿意,这个人工智能聊天机器人总是会产生一些东西,因为它有整个世界的在线数据可供借鉴。)”可知,ChatGPT是一个人工智能聊天机器人,它可以借鉴全球在线数据来和人类聊天。由此可以看出,ChatGPT可以即时生成语言回复。故选A。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中disruptive所在句的后一句“And yet, that doesn’t necessarily mean the end of the world is upon us.(然而,这并不一定意味着世界末日即将来临。)”可推断出,ChatGPT及未来的人工智能对世界可能带来极大的改变,disruptive意为“破坏性的”,在此处可引申为“颠覆性的”。evil邪恶的;revolutionary革命性的,突破性的;profitable盈利的;reliable可依靠的。B项意思与其最为接近。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But unlike us, it lacks the consciousness. Thinking is hard, critical thinking even harder, and ChatGPT isn’t good at either.(但与我们不同的是,它缺乏意识。思考很难,批判性思维更难,而ChatGPT也不擅长。)”和倒数第二段中的“Unfortunately, ChatGPT will reproduce misinformation from any of its input sources — it is not an intelligent system that tries to balance or weigh different perspectives.(不幸的是,ChatGPT将从其任何输入来源复制错误信息——它不是一个试图平衡或权衡不同观点的智能系统。)”可知,ChatGPT缺乏人类所具有的意识,无法评判不同的观点。由此可推断,它“胡说八道”的原因是它没有区分对错的能力。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章首先描述了ChatGPT的非凡能力,接着第二段最后一句“On the contrary, ChatGPT, I would argue, might serve to make us more aware of our irreplaceable human qualities.(相反,我认为,ChatGPT可能有助于让我们更加意识到我们不可替代的人类品质。)”点明主题:ChatGPT会让我们关注自身所拥有的独特品质。接下来作者讲述了ChatGPT在创造性上的不足和不分对错的局限。作者并在最后一段提到“Creativity, imagination and ethics — these will all remain unique human range. It is the AI’s very limitations that will make us appreciate our own.(创造力、想象力和道德——这些都将仍是人类独有的领域。正是人工智能的局限性让我们欣赏自己的局限性。)”,点明了人类品质的重要性。故选C。
D
A research shows animated(动画) movies can serve as valuable tools for parents to improve communication with children.
Disney films, for example, combine entertainment with life lessons about love, friendship, good versus evil, death and loss, and the importance of family. Talking about these important issues together can strengthen a child’s cognitive(认知的) and behavioral development, according to a study by the University of Houston.
Researchers found parents, brothers and sisters have become obviously more visible in Disney films over the last decade. Almost 73% of the films shared the message about loving yourself and others, and 27% focused on morality and social values.
“Based on examples generated from these movies, parents could hear various potential questions kids may ask if they are anxious about a situation that is faced by child characters,” said Monit Cheung, the study’s lead author. “Apart from these family stories, films can also teach children about unfair situations in society and acceptance of differences.”
The study even provides a table of the Disney films and their themes to help parents decide which movie is most relevant based on the developmental age of their child or what problems their children are facing. Joan Huang, co-author of the research, used the scene between Scar and Mufasa in “The Lion King” as an example to discuss the meanings of conflict, death and grief.
The researchers point out how Disney movies today illustrate(说明) families as more diverse, potentially leading to a better understanding and respect for cultural differences.
“Early Disney films focused on love within romantic relationships, but recent movies like ‘Frozen’ focus on the power of love between family members,” Huang explained. “It’s a significant change in how love can be very diverse and how people apply love to their social relationships. Disney films could be used as materials to open parent-child conversations to feed children’s minds and broaden their horizons of life.”
12. What should parents do according to the research?
A. Talk about issues shown in Disney films with their children.
B. Pay attention to children’s behavioral development.
C. Combine entertainment with their life.
D. Limit the time their children spend watching animated movies.
13. What will Monit Cheung probably agree with?
A. Death and loss should be avoided in animated movies.
B. Kids often ask unrelated questions while watching animated movies.
C. Disney films have paid more attention to family in the last decade.
D Parents are worried about the social values of their children.
14. How do Disney films lead to respect for cultural differences?
A. They each have a different theme.
B. They give examples of diverse families.
C. They show cultures of different countries.
D. They are watched by kids around the world.
15. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Parent-child Conversations Broaden Kids’ Horizons
B. Animated Movies May Help Parents Communicate with Kids
C. Researchers Go a Step Further into Cultural Awareness
D. Disney Films Are Turning to More Educational Goals
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。一项研究表明,动画电影可以作为父母改善与孩子沟通的宝贵工具。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Talking about these important issues together can strengthen a child’s cognitive(认知的) and behavioral development, according to a study by the University of Houston.(根据休斯顿大学的一项研究,一起谈论这些重要问题可以促进孩子认知和行为方面的发展。)”可知,该研究表明,和孩子一起谈论迪士尼电影中所表达的问题,可以有助于孩子认知能力和行为能力的提升。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Researchers found parents, brothers and sisters have become obviously more visible in Disney films over the last decade.(研究人员发现,在过去十年中,父母、兄弟姐妹在迪士尼电影中的形象明显越来越多。)”可知,在过去的十年里,迪士尼电影更加注重家庭主题。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The researchers point out how Disney movies today illustrate(说明) families as more diverse, potentially leading to a better understanding and respect for cultural differences.(研究人员指出了当今迪士尼电影是如何将家庭描绘得更加多样化的,这有可能使人们更好地理解和尊重文化差异。)”说明了迪士尼电影通过向观众展示多元化家庭的例子来使人们尊重文化差异。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“A research shows animated(动画) movies can serve as valuable tools for parents to improve communication with children.(一项研究表明,动画电影可以作为父母改善与孩子沟通的宝贵工具。)”和最后一段中的“Disney films could be used as materials to open parent-child conversations to feed children’s minds and broaden their horizons of life.(迪士尼电影可以被用作开启亲子对话的素材,滋养孩子们的思想,拓宽他们的生活视野。)”可知,本文围绕迪士尼动画电影对改善亲子沟通的作用展开,所以B项“动画电影可能有助于家长和孩子沟通”最适合作本文标题。故选B。

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。
As summer approaches, many are refreshing their gardens to reflect the change in season. As we become more eco-conscious, promoting biodiversity (生物多样性) tops our to-do list. ____16____.
◆Grow plants for pollinators.
Pollinators like bees can see the color purple more clearly than any other, so planting purple color flowers like lavender will lead to a bee-filled paradise (天堂). Herbs also attract butterflies and bees if you allow them to flower. A key tip to remember is that most roses aren’t ideal for pollinators. ____17____.
◆Just add water.
Add running water to your garden. ____18____. Such addition can make it more appealing to birds and wildlife. Adding a bird bath or a small water feature can attract a whole new range of wildlife, from frogs to dragonflies. Add small rocks into your water feature to prevent insects or animals drowning.
◆____19____.
Home-grown plants adapt to local soil and environmental conditions, meaning that they require less care. They also promote biodiversity and decrease soil erosion (侵蚀), while also reducing the use of chemical fertilizers (化肥) — a true win-win. By buying home-grown plants you can help to prevent foreign species reaching your garden and the countryside. Although these species are often harmless in their native habitats, they can cause disease and competition in a new environment.
◆Create homes for wildlife.
____20____. So consider building bee hotels and bird houses, placing planting pots upside down, or even letting leaves and sticks pile up in the garden to provide a safe place for wildlife. And before you commit yourself to a neatly polished space, consider leaving room for a little chaos.
A. Stick to native plants
B. Grow domestic vegetables
C. It is difficult for the bees to get to the center of the flower to feed
D. Here are some tips to help strike the balance between beauty and biodiversity
E Don’t feel discouraged if the wildlife shelter is empty at first
F. Thoughtful structures in gardens are ideal shelters
G. It helps purify the air and provide nutrition for local wildlife
【答案】16. D 17. C 18. G 19. A 20. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些做园艺时在美和生物多样性之间寻求平衡的方法。
【16题详解】
根据上文中的“refreshing their gardens”“more eco-conscious”“promoting biodiversity”可知,上文提到了想要让花园焕然一新以及有促进生物多样性的环保意识。结合下文分条列出的建议可知,空处应承上启下,D项“以下是一些有助于在美和生物多样性之间取得平衡的建议”符合题意。故选D。
【17题详解】
上文“A key tip to remember is that most roses aren’t ideal for pollinators.(需要记住的一个关键提示是,大多数玫瑰对传粉昆虫来说并不理想)”提到了不要在花园种不利于传粉的玫瑰,接下来应对此进行解释,C项“蜜蜂很难到达花朵的中心觅食”符合题意。故选C。
【18题详解】
上文“Add running water to your garden.(给你的花园加自来水)”建议加自来水,这里应解释这么做的好处,G项“它有助于净化空气并为当地野生动物提供营养”符合题意。故选G。
【19题详解】
空处是本段小标题。根据下文多次提到的“Home-grown plants”和整段内容可知,本段主要介绍了种本地植物的好处,所以A项“坚持种本地植物”符合题意。故选A。
【20题详解】
小标题“Create homes for wildlife.(为野生动物建造家园)”表明了本段主要讲述的是如何给野生动物筑窝。F项“花园中体贴的建筑是理想的庇护所”符合题意,其中的“ideal shelters”与小标题中的“homes”相照应。故选F。

【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了西藏的一些遗迹,这些遗迹解开了西藏和中国其他地方的文化交流。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:布达拉宫的特色是一幅壁画,这幅壁画描绘了汉族和藏族之间的名垂青史的联姻。分析句子结构,空处引导一个限制性定语从句,修饰指物的先行词a wall painting,关系词在从句中作主语,所以应用关系代词which或that引导。故填which/that。
【42题详解】
考查比较级。句意:与这幅壁画一样,西藏的许多其他遗迹也有助于进一步揭示西藏与中国其他地区之间的文化交流。此处应用副词作状语修饰动词uncover。根据句中的“cultural communication between Tibet and the rest of China”可知,这里表示进一步揭示二者之间的文化交流,应用副词的比较级。far的比较级有farther和further,前者表示距离上的远,后者表示程度上的更进一步,这里应用后者。故填further。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意:桑耶寺始建于八世纪,被列为文化遗产和建筑风格相结合的典范,而建于1087年的夏鲁寺则是建筑风格相融合的另一个典范。分析句子结构,此处应用副词作状语修饰动词built,首字母大写。故填Originally。
【44题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:在青藏高原中心发现的迄今为止最早的考古遗址是尼阿底遗址。分析句子结构,本句的谓语是is,所以空处应用非谓语动词,和空后的“at the heart of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (高原) so far”一起作后置定语。逻辑主语The earliest archaeological site和非谓语动词identify之间是动宾关系,且这里表示的动作已经完成,所以应用过去分词。故填identified。
【45题详解】
考查主谓一致、时态和语态。句意:自2016年以来,在旧石器时代遗址已经发现了4 000多件石器。根据句中的时间状语“since 2016”可知,本句应用现在完成时。且主语More than 4,000 stone artifacts表示复数,并和谓语动词find之间是动宾关系,所以谓语应用复数形式,且应用被动语态。故填have been found。
【46题详解】
考查主谓一致和时态。句意:科学分析表明,该遗址可以追溯到大约4 0000年前。date back to...意为“追溯到……”,为固定搭配,无被动形式。主语the site表示单数,所以谓语应用单数形式。根据句意和主句中shows可知,这里应用一般现在时,描述客观情况。故填dates。
【47题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:考古发现也为文化融合提供了丰富的证据。根据空前的形容词Archaeological可知,空处应用名词。discovery为名词,意为“发现”,既可作可数名词,也可作不可数名词。根据空后的have可知,这里应用名词复数作主语。故填discoveries。
【48题详解】
考查介词。句意:例如,西藏阿里出土的木雕和新疆出土的木雕形状相似。be similar in...意为“在……方面相似”,为固定搭配。故填in。
【49题详解】
考查名词。句意:在卡若遗址发现了一种在中国北方种植的作物,这证明了西藏和黄河流域之间的文化联系。根据空前的形容词cultural可知,空处应用名词。connection作名词时意为“联系”,为可数名词。再结合句中的was可知,这里应用名词单数。故填connection。
【50题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这一发现证明了大约5 000年前青藏高原和中国北方之间的交流。根据句中的“between the plateau and northern China some 5,000 years ago”可知,这里特指青藏高原和中国北方之间的交流,应用定冠词the。故填the。

With society develops fast, many people think that we must have two friends in our life. One is the library and the another is the playground. If we can make friend with the library, which means we can have enough new books to read. As we know it, information changes so fast and reading can make us wise and intelligent. On other hand, if we have the playground, we can take daily exercise to strengthen our body.
Although I am busy with my study, I still tried to spare some time to read some books and to do some sports every day. After I go to bed, I read some books included literature and news for 15 minutes. And if possible, I sometimes get up 30 minutes early than usual to walk to school instead of taking a bus. Then I can be strong, smart and happy forever.
【答案】1. develops→developing或With→As
2. another→other
3. friend→friends
4. which→it /this/that
5. know后删除it
6. other前添加the
7. tried→try
8. After→Before
9. included→including
10. early→earlier
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。许多人认为我们必须有两个朋友:图书馆和操场。这两个朋友可以让我们头脑有智慧、身体变强壮。
【详解】1. 考查非谓语动词或时间状语从句。句意:随着社会的快速发展,许多人认为我们在生活中必须有两个朋友。with是介词,可构成“with+宾语+非谓语动词”复合结构,其后不可跟句子。且逻辑主语society和动词develop之间是主谓关系,所以应用现在分词developing。根据句意“随着社会的快速发展”,这里也可将With改为As,引导时间状语从句。故将develops改为developing或将With改为As。
2. 考查不定代词。句意:一个是图书馆,另一个是操场。another意为“另一个”,常用于表示三者或三者以上中的另一个。根据上文中的“two friends”可知,这里表示在两者之间,应用other,表示两者中的另一个,one…the other…表示“一个……另一个……”。故将another改为other。
3. 考查名词复数。句意:如果我们能和图书馆交朋友,这意味着我们可以有足够的新书阅读。make friends with…意为“和……交朋友”,为固定搭配。故将friend改为friends。
4. 考查代词。句意参考上题。分析句子结构,本句是一个主从复合句,If引导条件状语从句,所以逗号后为主句。这里指代我们能和图书馆交朋友这件事,表示特指,应用it,this或that。故将which改为it/this/that。
5. 考查定语从句。句意:正如我们所知,信息变化如此之快,阅读可以使我们变得明智和聪明。分析句子结构,As引导一个非限制性定语从句,指代后面主句的内容,且在从句中作know的宾语,所以应将know后的it去掉。故know后删除it。
6. 考查冠词。句意:另一方面,如果我们有操场,我们可以每天锻炼来增强我们的身体。on the other hand意为“另一方面”,为固定搭配,常和on the one hand搭配使用。故在other前添加the。
7. 考查时态。句意:虽然我忙于学习,但我仍然努力每天抽出一些时间来读一些书和做一些运动。根据句中的时间状语every day和从句中的am可知,这里应用一般现在时,表示习惯性的动作。故将tried改为try。
8. 考查时间状语从句。句意:睡觉前,我会读15分钟的一些书,(这些书)包括文学和新闻。分析句子结构,逗号前是一个时间状语从句。结合常识可知,一般是睡觉前读书。故将After改为Before。
9. 考查非谓语动词。句意参考上题。分析句子结构,included后面有宾语literature and news,且和some books之间是主动关系,应用现在分词表示主动。故将included改为including。
10. 考查比较级。句意:如果可能的话,我有时会比平时早起30分钟步行去学校,而不是坐公交车。根据句中的than usual可知,这里表示“比平时早”,要应用early的比较级earlier。故将early改为earlier。
