Mary had struggled to find the right words to convey her thoughts and feelings ever since she was a child. She was often told that she was “too quiet” or “too shy”, and as she grew older, she became increasingly self-conscious about her inability to articulate herself. It wasn’t that she didn’t have anything to say—far from it. Mary’s mind was constantly racing with ideas and observations, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t seem to get the words out.
“Mary, I need to talk to you,” Mr. Thompson, the boss of Mary’s new company, said one day, his voice serious. Mary’s heart sank. “Don’t worry,” Mr. Thompson said, noticing Mary’s panic. “It’s not that kind of conversation. I just wanted to talk to you about something that’s been on my mind lately.”
He paused for a moment, collecting his thoughts. “I’ve noticed that you’ve been struggling a bit lately. It seems like you’re having a tough time communicating with customers. I hear that you’re proficient at writing. So why not join our Advertising Department? Besides, I have another suggestion…”
Mary kept nodding, unable to find the words to express her gratitude.
Following Mr. Thompson’s suggestion, Mary joined a writing competition. She had always been a talented writer, and she knew that she had the potential to create something truly special. So she set to work, pouring her heart and soul into her essay. The words started flowing, and Mary found herself writing with a newfound sense of clarity and purpose.
The judges of the competition were amazed by Mary’s essay, and they selected it as the winner. Mary was thrilled, and she was grateful to have finally found the right way to do a good job.
4. What does the underlined word “articulate” mean in Paragraph 1?
A. Teach. B. Express. C. Behave. D. Encourage.
5. Why did Mr. Thompson have a talk with Mary?
A. To point out her mistakes. B. To advise her to quit the job.
C. To offer her some help. D. To comfort her struggles.
6. What was Mary’s feeling when creating her essay?
A. Confident. B. Determined. C. Inspired. D. Relaxed.
7. What can best describe Mary’s experience?
A. Actions speak louder than words. B. All things are easy that are done willingly.
C. Loses on one side and gains on the other. D. Diligence can make up for lack of intelligence.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了玛丽在老板汤普森先生的建议下，通过写作来表达自己，并且找到了做好工作的正确方法。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“Mary had struggled to find the right words to convey her thoughts and feelings ever since she was a child. She was often told that she was “too quiet” or “too shy”(从孩提时代起，玛丽就一直在努力寻找合适的词语来表达她的思想和感情。她经常被说她“太安静”或“太害羞”)”可知，随着年龄的增长，她越来越意识到自己无法表达自己。因此猜测articulate意为“表达”。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“He paused for a moment, collecting his thoughts. “I’ve noticed that you’ve been struggling a bit lately. It seems like you’re having a tough time communicating with customers. I hear that you’re proficient at writing. So why not join our Advertising Department? Besides, I have another suggestion…”(他停了一会儿，整理思绪。“我注意到你最近有点挣扎。看起来你和客户沟通很困难。我听说你很擅长写作。那么为什么不加入我们的广告部呢？此外，我还有一个建议……”)”可推知，Mr. Thompson和Mary进行谈话是为了给她提供帮助。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“She had always been a talented writer, and she knew that she had the potential to create something truly special. So she set to work, pouring her heart and soul into her essay. The words started flowing, and Mary found herself writing with a newfound sense of clarity and purpose.(一直是个有才华的作家，她知道自己有潜力创作出真正特别的东西。于是她开始工作，全身心地投入到她的文章中。她的话语开始滔滔不绝，玛丽发现自己在写作时有了一种新的清晰感和目的性。)”可推知，玛丽在创作文章时感到很自信。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，玛丽不擅长用言语表达自己，却在写作方面很有天赋。因此C项：Loses on one side and gains on the other.(得此失彼)能描述玛丽的经历。故选C。
C
This is the digital age, and the advice to managers is clear. If you don’t know what ChatGPT is or dislike the idea of working with a robot, enjoy your retirement. So, as for the present you should get for your manager this festive season, a good choice may be anything made of paper. Undoubtedly, it can serve as a useful reminder of where the digital world’s limitations lie. Several recent studies highlighted the enduring value of this ancient technology in several different aspects.
A study by Vicky Morwitz of Columbia Business School, Yanliu Huang of Drexel University and Zhen Yang of California State University, Fullerton, finds that paper calendars produce different behaviours from digital calendars. Users of old-fashioned calendars made more detailed project plans than those looking at an App, and they were more likely to stick to those plans. Simple dimensions seem to count. The ability to see lots of days at once on a paper calendar matters.
Here is another study from Maferima Touré-Tillery of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and Lili Wang of Zhejiang University. In one part of their study, the researchers asked strangers to take a survey. Half the respondents were given a pen and paper to fill out a form; the other half were handed an iPad. When asked for their email address to receive information, those who used paper were much likelier to decide on a positive answer. The researchers believe that people make better decisions on paper because it feels more consequential than a digital screen. Paper-and-pen respondents were more likely than iPad users to think their choices indicated their characters better.
Researchers had other findings. They found shoppers were willing to pay more for reading materials in printed form than those they could only download online. Even the sight of someone handling something can help online sales. Similarly, people browsing(浏览) in a virtual-reality(虚拟现实) shop was more willing to buy a T-shirt if they saw their own virtual hand touch it.
8. How does the author lead in the topic?
A. By telling a story. B. By giving examples.
C. By raising questions. D. By describing a situation.
9. Why can paper calendars make users stick to plans better?
A. They are a better reminder.
B. They can show more detailed plans.
C. They provide chances for people to practice writing.
D. They provide a better view of many days’ plans at a time.
10. Which of the following did paper influence based on Paragraph 3?
A. Decision. B. Sympathy. C. Efficiency. D. Responsibility.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Paper posters will greatly promote sales online.
B. E-magazines are thought less valuable than paper ones.
C. Seeing others buy will increase one’s purchasing desire.
D. People prefer items made of paper instead of other materials.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究发现，世界数字化是时代发展趋势，但纸制品的存在说明它仍有局限性，而纸质品有其恒久的价值。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段中的“If you don’t know what ChatGPT is or dislike the idea of working with a robot, enjoy your retirement. So, as for the present you should get for your manager this festive season, a good choice may be anything made of paper.(如果你不知道ChatGPT是什么，或者不喜欢和机器人一起工作的想法，享受你的退休生活吧。所以，至于这个节日你应该送给经理的礼物，纸做的任何东西都是不错的选择)”可知，作者假设一位退休人员给经理送礼物时，用纸做成的任何礼物都是一个不错的选择，从而引出本文阐述的话题，由此可以推断，作者通过描述一种情况导入话题。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Users of old-fashioned calendars made more detailed project plans than those looking at an App, and they were more likely to stick to those plans. Simple dimensions seem to count. The ability to see lots of days at once on a paper calendar matters. (老式日历的用户比那些查看应用程序的用户制定了更详细的项目计划，他们更有可能坚持这些计划。简单的尺寸似乎很重要。在纸质日历上一次查看很多天的项目计划的能力很重要。)”可知，旧式的日历可以一次查看很多天的项目计划，所以更有可能坚持这些计划，所以纸质日历能让使用者坚持计划的原因是它可以每次能显示很多天的计划。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When asked for their email address to receive information, those who used paper were much likelier to decide on a positive answer. The researchers believe that people make better decisions on paper because it feels more consequential than a digital screen.(当被问及他们的电子邮件地址以接收信息时，那些使用纸张的人更有可能决定一个肯定的答案。研究人员认为，人们在纸上做出更好的决定，因为它比数字屏幕更重要。)”可知，研究者也认为，使用纸张的人更有可能做出更好的决定，由此可知，纸对人们做出的决定有影响。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“They found shoppers were willing to pay more for reading materials in printed form than those they could only download online. (他们发现，购物者愿意为印刷形式的阅读材料支付更多的费用，而不是他们只能在线下载的材料。)”可知，消费者愿意消费印制的阅读材料而不愿意消费那些只是下载的材料，由此可推断，相比而言，电子的材料价值不如纸质的材料。故选B项。
D
This month, the Internet was flooded with wonderful digital art portraits, thanks to the work of the latest artificial intelligence-assisted application to go viral: Lensa. Users uploaded their photographs to the App and then—for a small fee—it used AI to transform their profile pictures into, say, a magical warrior princess version of themselves, in no time at all.
This year has seen a breakthrough for AI-driven image generators, which are now better than ever in quality, speed and affordability. If that sounds great to you, you might not be one of the millions of humans whose livelihoods depend on being able to exchange those skills for money.
Some artists predicted that a computer would recreate the aura of a masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci in the near future. As long as there are enough data for the AI to train itself, it can copy numerous masterpieces just in several minutes. It seems unavoidable that a large number of artists would lose their jobs.
“I see it less as a threat and more of an opportunity,” the UK-based illustrator Michelle Thompson said, adding, “Like everything else, there will always be artists who can use the tools better.”
These tools are only as good as the data sets they are trained on. Human imagination, on the other hand, has no limit. For Dryhurst, an artist from Germany, AI models “could attempt to make a pale version of something we did years ago”, but that “doesn’t account for what we might do next”.
The kind of artificial intelligence we might imagine replacing artists—an entirely autonomous creative robot—does not yet exist, but it is coming. And as AI becomes more universal, artists, illustrators and designers will ultimately be set apart not by if, but by how, they use the technology.
12. Why does the author mention Lensa in Paragraph 1?
A. To recommend the new App. B. To inform latest news.
C. To lead in the AI topic. D. To introduce its new function.
13. What is Michelle Thompson’s attitude towards AI?
A. Concerned. B. Favorable. C. Unclear. D. Critical.
14. What might be a weakness of AI in creating art works?
A. Accuracy. B. Diversity. C. Creativity. D. Efficiency.
15. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Is AI coming into our daily life? B. Can AI copy masterpieces of great artists?
C Shall we welcome new AI technology? D. Will AI replace artists in the future?
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章就未来人工智能是否会取代艺术家展开讨论。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“This month, the Internet was flooded with wonderful digital art portraits, thanks to the work of the latest artificial intelligence-assisted application to go viral: Lensa. Users uploaded their photographs to the App and then—for a small fee—it used AI to transform their profile pictures into, say, a magical warrior princess version of themselves, in no time at all.(这个月，互联网上充斥着精彩的数字艺术肖像，这要归功于最新的人工智能辅助应用程序:Lensa。用户将他们的照片上传到应用程序，然后只需支付一小笔费用，它就可以利用人工智能将他们的头像转变成他们自己的魔法战士公主版本。)”和文章第二段“This year has seen a breakthrough for AI-driven image generators, which are now better than ever in quality, speed and affordability.(今年，人工智能驱动的图像生成器取得了突破，在质量、速度和价格上都比以往任何时候都更好。)”可知，作者在第一段提到Lensa是为了引起人工智能这个话题。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段““I see it less as a threat and more of an opportunity,” the UK-based illustrator Michelle Thompson said, adding, “Like everything else, there will always be artists who can use the tools better.”(“与其说这是一种威胁，不如说这是一种机会，”英国插画家米歇尔·汤普森(Michelle Thompson)说，“就像其他事情一样，总会有艺术家能更好地使用这些工具。”)”可知，Michelle Thompson认为这是一种机会.由此可推知，他对人工智能持支持的态度。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“These tools are only as good as the data sets they are trained on. Human imagination, on the other hand, has no limit. For Dryhurst, an artist from Germany, AI models “could attempt to make a pale version of something we did years ago”, but that “doesn’t account for what we might do next”.(这些工具只能和它们所训练的数据集一样好。另一方面，人类的想象力是无限的。对于来自德国的艺术家德雷赫斯特来说，人工智能模型“可以尝试做出我们几年前做过的东西的苍白版本”，但这“并不能解释我们下一步可能会做什么”。)”可推知，创造力可能是人工智能在创作艺术作品时的弱点。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“The kind of artificial intelligence we might imagine replacing artists—an entirely autonomous creative robot—does not yet exist, but it is coming.(我们可能想象的那种取代艺术家的人工智能——完全自主的创意机器人——还不存在，但它正在到来。)”可知，文章主要就未来人工智能是否会取代艺术家展开讨论。故选D。

47. 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。
The day when the jobs were handed out was one of the most exciting for all the children in the class. It took place during the first week of the term. On that day, every boy and girl was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year.
As everything else, some jobs were more interesting, and the children were eager to be given one of the interesting ones. When giving them out, the teacher took into account which children had been most responsible during the previous year, and those children were usually the ones who most looked forward to this day. Among them Rita stood out. She was a kind and quiet girl; and during the previous year she had carried out the teacher’s instructions perfectly. All the children knew Rita was the favourite to be given the best job of all—to look after the class dog.
But this year there was a big surprise. Each child received one of the normal jobs, like preparing the books or the radio for the lessons, telling the time, cleaning the blackboard, and looking after one of the pets. But Rita’s job was very different. She was given a little box containing some sand and some ants. And even though the teacher insisted that they were very special ants, Rita couldn’t help feeling disappointed. Anyway, she accepted the task. Most of her classmates felt sorry for her. They sympathised with her and remarked on how unfair it was that she had been given that job. Even Rita’s father felt sorry for her, and as an act of protest, he told Rita to pay no attention to this insignificant pet. However, Rita, who liked her teacher very much, preferred to show the teacher her ability by doing something special with such an insignificant task. “I will turn this ‘little task’ into something great,” Rita said to herself.
注意：
(1)续写词数应为150左右；

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】To learn more about her little ants, Rita turned to Dr. Martinez, a famous entomologist(昆虫学家). With his help, she learned about the incredible abilities of these tiny creatures, such as their strength and organization. Rita became fascinated by the ants and started studying them with great interest. She observed their behavior, their interactions, and their construction of tunnels and mounds. She even started a small ant farm at home, carefully monitoring the growth and development of the colony. Rita realized that her seemingly insignificant task was actually a great opportunity to learn and explore the wonders of nature.
Several months later, one day, Dr. Martinez came to Rita’s class to choose a young assistant. He was looking for a bright and curious student who had shown a genuine interest in the world of insects. To everyone’s surprise, he chose Rita. She was overjoyed and felt that her hard work and dedication had paid off. As Dr. Martinez’s assistant, Rita had the opportunity to work alongside him, learning about different types of insects, their habitats, and their roles in the ecosystem. She traveled with him to different places to collect samples, and even got to participate in a research project on ant behavior.

Mary had struggled to find the right words to convey her thoughts and feelings ever since she was a child. She was often told that she was “too quiet” or “too shy”, and as she grew older, she became increasingly self-conscious about her inability to articulate herself. It wasn’t that she didn’t have anything to say—far from it. Mary’s mind was constantly racing with ideas and observations, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t seem to get the words out.
“Mary, I need to talk to you,” Mr. Thompson, the boss of Mary’s new company, said one day, his voice serious. Mary’s heart sank. “Don’t worry,” Mr. Thompson said, noticing Mary’s panic. “It’s not that kind of conversation. I just wanted to talk to you about something that’s been on my mind lately.”
He paused for a moment, collecting his thoughts. “I’ve noticed that you’ve been struggling a bit lately. It seems like you’re having a tough time communicating with customers. I hear that you’re proficient at writing. So why not join our Advertising Department? Besides, I have another suggestion…”
Mary kept nodding, unable to find the words to express her gratitude.
Following Mr. Thompson’s suggestion, Mary joined a writing competition. She had always been a talented writer, and she knew that she had the potential to create something truly special. So she set to work, pouring her heart and soul into her essay. The words started flowing, and Mary found herself writing with a newfound sense of clarity and purpose.
The judges of the competition were amazed by Mary’s essay, and they selected it as the winner. Mary was thrilled, and she was grateful to have finally found the right way to do a good job.
4. What does the underlined word “articulate” mean in Paragraph 1?
A. Teach. B. Express. C. Behave. D. Encourage.
5. Why did Mr. Thompson have a talk with Mary?
A. To point out her mistakes. B. To advise her to quit the job.
C. To offer her some help. D. To comfort her struggles.
6. What was Mary’s feeling when creating her essay?
A. Confident. B. Determined. C. Inspired. D. Relaxed.
7. What can best describe Mary’s experience?
A. Actions speak louder than words. B. All things are easy that are done willingly.
C. Loses on one side and gains on the other. D. Diligence can make up for lack of intelligence.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了玛丽在老板汤普森先生的建议下，通过写作来表达自己，并且找到了做好工作的正确方法。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“Mary had struggled to find the right words to convey her thoughts and feelings ever since she was a child. She was often told that she was “too quiet” or “too shy”(从孩提时代起，玛丽就一直在努力寻找合适的词语来表达她的思想和感情。她经常被说她“太安静”或“太害羞”)”可知，随着年龄的增长，她越来越意识到自己无法表达自己。因此猜测articulate意为“表达”。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“He paused for a moment, collecting his thoughts. “I’ve noticed that you’ve been struggling a bit lately. It seems like you’re having a tough time communicating with customers. I hear that you’re proficient at writing. So why not join our Advertising Department? Besides, I have another suggestion…”(他停了一会儿，整理思绪。“我注意到你最近有点挣扎。看起来你和客户沟通很困难。我听说你很擅长写作。那么为什么不加入我们的广告部呢？此外，我还有一个建议……”)”可推知，Mr. Thompson和Mary进行谈话是为了给她提供帮助。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“She had always been a talented writer, and she knew that she had the potential to create something truly special. So she set to work, pouring her heart and soul into her essay. The words started flowing, and Mary found herself writing with a newfound sense of clarity and purpose.(一直是个有才华的作家，她知道自己有潜力创作出真正特别的东西。于是她开始工作，全身心地投入到她的文章中。她的话语开始滔滔不绝，玛丽发现自己在写作时有了一种新的清晰感和目的性。)”可推知，玛丽在创作文章时感到很自信。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，玛丽不擅长用言语表达自己，却在写作方面很有天赋。因此C项：Loses on one side and gains on the other.(得此失彼)能描述玛丽的经历。故选C。

This is the digital age, and the advice to managers is clear. If you don’t know what ChatGPT is or dislike the idea of working with a robot, enjoy your retirement. So, as for the present you should get for your manager this festive season, a good choice may be anything made of paper. Undoubtedly, it can serve as a useful reminder of where the digital world’s limitations lie. Several recent studies highlighted the enduring value of this ancient technology in several different aspects.
A study by Vicky Morwitz of Columbia Business School, Yanliu Huang of Drexel University and Zhen Yang of California State University, Fullerton, finds that paper calendars produce different behaviours from digital calendars. Users of old-fashioned calendars made more detailed project plans than those looking at an App, and they were more likely to stick to those plans. Simple dimensions seem to count. The ability to see lots of days at once on a paper calendar matters.
Here is another study from Maferima Touré-Tillery of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and Lili Wang of Zhejiang University. In one part of their study, the researchers asked strangers to take a survey. Half the respondents were given a pen and paper to fill out a form; the other half were handed an iPad. When asked for their email address to receive information, those who used paper were much likelier to decide on a positive answer. The researchers believe that people make better decisions on paper because it feels more consequential than a digital screen. Paper-and-pen respondents were more likely than iPad users to think their choices indicated their characters better.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究发现，世界数字化是时代发展趋势，但纸制品的存在说明它仍有局限性，而纸质品有其恒久的价值。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段中的“If you don’t know what ChatGPT is or dislike the idea of working with a robot, enjoy your retirement. So, as for the present you should get for your manager this festive season, a good choice may be anything made of paper.(如果你不知道ChatGPT是什么，或者不喜欢和机器人一起工作的想法，享受你的退休生活吧。所以，至于这个节日你应该送给经理的礼物，纸做的任何东西都是不错的选择)”可知，作者假设一位退休人员给经理送礼物时，用纸做成的任何礼物都是一个不错的选择，从而引出本文阐述的话题，由此可以推断，作者通过描述一种情况导入话题。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Users of old-fashioned calendars made more detailed project plans than those looking at an App, and they were more likely to stick to those plans. Simple dimensions seem to count. The ability to see lots of days at once on a paper calendar matters. (老式日历的用户比那些查看应用程序的用户制定了更详细的项目计划，他们更有可能坚持这些计划。简单的尺寸似乎很重要。在纸质日历上一次查看很多天的项目计划的能力很重要。)”可知，旧式的日历可以一次查看很多天的项目计划，所以更有可能坚持这些计划，所以纸质日历能让使用者坚持计划的原因是它可以每次能显示很多天的计划。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When asked for their email address to receive information, those who used paper were much likelier to decide on a positive answer. The researchers believe that people make better decisions on paper because it feels more consequential than a digital screen.(当被问及他们的电子邮件地址以接收信息时，那些使用纸张的人更有可能决定一个肯定的答案。研究人员认为，人们在纸上做出更好的决定，因为它比数字屏幕更重要。)”可知，研究者也认为，使用纸张的人更有可能做出更好的决定，由此可知，纸对人们做出的决定有影响。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据尾段中的“They found shoppers were willing to pay more for reading materials in printed form than those they could only download online. (他们发现，购物者愿意为印刷形式的阅读材料支付更多的费用，而不是他们只能在线下载的材料。)”可知，消费者愿意消费印制的阅读材料而不愿意消费那些只是下载的材料，由此可推断，相比而言，电子的材料价值不如纸质的材料。故选B项。
D
This month, the Internet was flooded with wonderful digital art portraits, thanks to the work of the latest artificial intelligence-assisted application to go viral: Lensa. Users uploaded their photographs to the App and then—for a small fee—it used AI to transform their profile pictures into, say, a magical warrior princess version of themselves, in no time at all.
This year has seen a breakthrough for AI-driven image generators, which are now better than ever in quality, speed and affordability. If that sounds great to you, you might not be one of the millions of humans whose livelihoods depend on being able to exchange those skills for money.
Some artists predicted that a computer would recreate the aura of a masterpiece by Leonardo da Vinci in the near future. As long as there are enough data for the AI to train itself, it can copy numerous masterpieces just in several minutes. It seems unavoidable that a large number of artists would lose their jobs.
“I see it less as a threat and more of an opportunity,” the UK-based illustrator Michelle Thompson said, adding, “Like everything else, there will always be artists who can use the tools better.”
These tools are only as good as the data sets they are trained on. Human imagination, on the other hand, has no limit. For Dryhurst, an artist from Germany, AI models “could attempt to make a pale version of something we did years ago”, but that “doesn’t account for what we might do next”.
The kind of artificial intelligence we might imagine replacing artists—an entirely autonomous creative robot—does not yet exist, but it is coming. And as AI becomes more universal, artists, illustrators and designers will ultimately be set apart not by if, but by how, they use the technology.
12. Why does the author mention Lensa in Paragraph 1?
A. To recommend the new App. B. To inform latest news.
C. To lead in the AI topic. D. To introduce its new function.
13. What is Michelle Thompson’s attitude towards AI?
A. Concerned. B. Favorable. C. Unclear. D. Critical.
14. What might be a weakness of AI in creating art works?
A. Accuracy. B. Diversity. C. Creativity. D. Efficiency.
15. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Is AI coming into our daily life? B. Can AI copy masterpieces of great artists?
C Shall we welcome new AI technology? D. Will AI replace artists in the future?
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章就未来人工智能是否会取代艺术家展开讨论。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“This month, the Internet was flooded with wonderful digital art portraits, thanks to the work of the latest artificial intelligence-assisted application to go viral: Lensa. Users uploaded their photographs to the App and then—for a small fee—it used AI to transform their profile pictures into, say, a magical warrior princess version of themselves, in no time at all.(这个月，互联网上充斥着精彩的数字艺术肖像，这要归功于最新的人工智能辅助应用程序:Lensa。用户将他们的照片上传到应用程序，然后只需支付一小笔费用，它就可以利用人工智能将他们的头像转变成他们自己的魔法战士公主版本。)”和文章第二段“This year has seen a breakthrough for AI-driven image generators, which are now better than ever in quality, speed and affordability.(今年，人工智能驱动的图像生成器取得了突破，在质量、速度和价格上都比以往任何时候都更好。)”可知，作者在第一段提到Lensa是为了引起人工智能这个话题。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段““I see it less as a threat and more of an opportunity,” the UK-based illustrator Michelle Thompson said, adding, “Like everything else, there will always be artists who can use the tools better.”(“与其说这是一种威胁，不如说这是一种机会，”英国插画家米歇尔·汤普森(Michelle Thompson)说，“就像其他事情一样，总会有艺术家能更好地使用这些工具。”)”可知，Michelle Thompson认为这是一种机会.由此可推知，他对人工智能持支持的态度。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“These tools are only as good as the data sets they are trained on. Human imagination, on the other hand, has no limit. For Dryhurst, an artist from Germany, AI models “could attempt to make a pale version of something we did years ago”, but that “doesn’t account for what we might do next”.(这些工具只能和它们所训练的数据集一样好。另一方面，人类的想象力是无限的。对于来自德国的艺术家德雷赫斯特来说，人工智能模型“可以尝试做出我们几年前做过的东西的苍白版本”，但这“并不能解释我们下一步可能会做什么”。)”可推知，创造力可能是人工智能在创作艺术作品时的弱点。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“The kind of artificial intelligence we might imagine replacing artists—an entirely autonomous creative robot—does not yet exist, but it is coming.(我们可能想象的那种取代艺术家的人工智能——完全自主的创意机器人——还不存在，但它正在到来。)”可知，文章主要就未来人工智能是否会取代艺术家展开讨论。故选D。

47. 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。
The day when the jobs were handed out was one of the most exciting for all the children in the class. It took place during the first week of the term. On that day, every boy and girl was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year.
As everything else, some jobs were more interesting, and the children were eager to be given one of the interesting ones. When giving them out, the teacher took into account which children had been most responsible during the previous year, and those children were usually the ones who most looked forward to this day. Among them Rita stood out. She was a kind and quiet girl; and during the previous year she had carried out the teacher’s instructions perfectly. All the children knew Rita was the favourite to be given the best job of all—to look after the class dog.
But this year there was a big surprise. Each child received one of the normal jobs, like preparing the books or the radio for the lessons, telling the time, cleaning the blackboard, and looking after one of the pets. But Rita’s job was very different. She was given a little box containing some sand and some ants. And even though the teacher insisted that they were very special ants, Rita couldn’t help feeling disappointed. Anyway, she accepted the task. Most of her classmates felt sorry for her. They sympathised with her and remarked on how unfair it was that she had been given that job. Even Rita’s father felt sorry for her, and as an act of protest, he told Rita to pay no attention to this insignificant pet. However, Rita, who liked her teacher very much, preferred to show the teacher her ability by doing something special with such an insignificant task. “I will turn this ‘little task’ into something great,” Rita said to herself.
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。
To learn more about her little ants, Rita turned to Dr. Martinez, a famous entomologist(昆虫学家).
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Several months later, one day, Dr. Martinez came to Rita’s class to choose a young assistant.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】To learn more about her little ants, Rita turned to Dr. Martinez, a famous entomologist(昆虫学家). With his help, she learned about the incredible abilities of these tiny creatures, such as their strength and organization. Rita became fascinated by the ants and started studying them with great interest. She observed their behavior, their interactions, and their construction of tunnels and mounds. She even started a small ant farm at home, carefully monitoring the growth and development of the colony. Rita realized that her seemingly insignificant task was actually a great opportunity to learn and explore the wonders of nature.
Several months later, one day, Dr. Martinez came to Rita’s class to choose a young assistant. He was looking for a bright and curious student who had shown a genuine interest in the world of insects. To everyone’s surprise, he chose Rita. She was overjoyed and felt that her hard work and dedication had paid off. As Dr. Martinez’s assistant, Rita had the opportunity to work alongside him, learning about different types of insects, their habitats, and their roles in the ecosystem.
