After studying civil law at the University of Orléans, despite his father’s attempts to take on the royal appointment of his father, it was to acting that the young Jean-Baptiste was irresistibly drawn. Acting was considered a disgraceful pursuit at the time, and the young actor lost his father’s affection entirely when he founded a theater called L’Illustre Théâtre in 1643. Shortly thereafter, Jean-Baptiste adopted the pen name, Molière.L’Illustre Theâtre survived for over two years, eventually overcome by debt, and Molière ended up completing a 24-hour period in prison. After his imprisonment, the French playwright fled Paris at 23 years old and joined a troupe (剧团) of actors. The young actor spent 12 years traveling the country with his theater troupe, performing in small towns and beginning his own work as a writer.In 1658, Molière returned to Paris and performed for King Louis XIV, who enjoyed his work immensely. The king awarded him an annual pension, and became a frequent defender of the writer’s work despite political hatred from influential courtiers. Molière wrote his first great comedy after settling back in Paris. Affected Young Ladies(1659) mocks the pretensions of upper-class Parisian women. The play angered several important people, a pattern that would be repeated over the next 14 years, as Molière’s life acquired a long list of enemies both political and artistic. Over the next 15 years, he wrote over 30 plays, acting in many of them, while in the meantime managing his own theater company. On February 17, 1673,Molière died of tuberculosis (肺结核) contracted years earlier after a performance.；4．What did Molière’s father want him to do?A．Be an actor. B．Adopt a new name.C．Runa theater company. D．Follow in his father’s footsteps.；5．What most probably made Molière leave Paris?A．His financial problem. B．Tiredness of acting.C．His failure as an actor. D．Terible relationship with his colleagues.；6．What features most of Molière’s plays?A．Social harmony. B．Artistic skills.C．The fancy court life. D．The ugliness of the upper-class.；7．Which of the following best describes Moliere?A．Talented and caring. B．Kind and enthusiastic.C．Determined and devoted. D．Ambitious and generous. C（说明文）On February 20, the science fiction magazine Clarkesworld was forced to stop accepting any new articles from writers after it was flooded with AI-written stories.“By the time we closed on the 20th, we had received 500 human-written stories and 700 AI-written ones,” said editor-in-chief Neil Clarke. “It was increasing at such a speed that we figured that by the end of the month, we would have doubled the number of articles we normally have. The rate had been growing from previous months, and we were concerned that we had to do something to stop it.”Worries about AI misuse have frequently appeared in headlines recently, particularly since the launch of ChatGPT in November, 2022, which can not only answer a broad range of questions, but also create original poems and stories.Clarke said magazines like his, which pay contributors for their work, were being targeted by people trying to make quick money. He said he had already spoken to editors of other magazines and that all of them had agreed to stop accepting AI-written articles. He also admitted that the humor of his sci-fi magazine being targeted by AI robots is not lost on him.“You know, our mascot (吉祥物) is a robot. So we see the irony,” he said. “But the thing is that science fiction is often intended to give a warning to people. We don’t celebrate technology just because it exists. We want to make sure that we’re using it right. And there are some significant legal and moral issues around this technology that we’re not ready to accept.Clarke said the magazine didn’t know how to deal with the issue, and part of the motivation to speak out was in the hope of finding some solutions. He also said the quality of the AI-written stories was very poor.8．What’s the matter with the magazine Clarkesworld? A．It will close down forever. B．It was targeted by AI writers.C．It stopped paying contributors. D．It has lost many good authors.9．What can we infer about other magazines’ attitude to the AI-written stories?A．Disapproving. B．Favorable. C．Unknown. D．Tolerant.10．What does Neil Clarke say about science fiction?A．It often intends to find some solutions.B．It welcomes the existing new technologies.C．It will accept AI-written stories in the near future.D．It often tries to warn the dark side of technologies.11．Where is this text most likely from?A．A notice. B．A science fiction. C．A news report. D．A book review. D（议论文）There seems to be a lot of talk these days about what is fair, and what is not. Most people tend to believe life should be fair. Some of the 99% seem to believe life has somehow treated them unfairly, and some of the 1% feel life hasn’t treated them fairly enough. My questions are these: What is fairness? Is life fair? Should life be fair?We clearly have no choice about how we come into this world. We have little choice early in life. But as we grow older, choices abound. I have long believed that while we have no control over the beginning of our life, the majority of us have the ability to influence the outcomes we attain. Fairness is a state of mind, and most often, an unhealthy state of mind. Our state in life cannot, or at least should not, be blamed on our parents, our teachers, or our society—it’s largely based on the choices we make, and the attitudes we adopt. Life is full of examples of the uneducated, the mentally and physically challenged people born into war-torn areas, who could have complained about life being unfair, but who instead chose a different path. Regardless of the challenges they faced, they had the character to choose contribution over complaint. I agree that challenges exist. I agree that many have an uphill battle due to the severity of the challenges they face. What I disagree with is the attempt to use fairness to solve all problems in the world. Rules and orders don’t create fairness, but people’s desire and determination can work around most life challenges. It doesn’t matter whether you are born with a silver spoon, plastic spoon, or no spoon at all. A friend of mine came to this country from Africa in his late teens, barely spoke the language, drove a cab while working his way through college, and is now the president of a technology services firm. Stories such as this are all around us-they are not miracles, nor are they the rare exception. They do, however, demonstrate blindness to the mindset of the fairness.12．What does the underlined word “abound” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Change fully. B．Remain the same.C．Exist in numbers. D．Disappear completely.13．What opinion does the writer agree with?A．Most of us can influence the results we achieve.B．Our background determines our choices.C．People’s desire and determination create unfairness.D．We should depend on fairness to solve all problems.14．What is the primary purpose of the text?A．To promote efforts over complaint.B．To stress the importance of fairness.C．To share an inspiring story of a friend.D．To prove that fairness is a state of mind.15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Fairness Is Justice B．Life Is Not Fair—Deal With ItC．Fairness Comes First D．Fairness Creates Chances 参考答案BCD DADC BADC CAAB
