When a wman bught a painting that appeared t bear the signature (签名) f N. C. Wyeth at a stre in 2017, she jked that the 4-dllar item might actually be a real wrk by the Maine painter. Her jke was n laughing matter, and the painting is nw estimated t fetch as much as $250,000 at auctin (拍卖会) in September.
Accrding t experts at Bnhams Skinner auctin huse, the seller unknwingly bught the wrk at a Savers stre in Manchester, New Hampshire, while searching fr frames t reuse. At that time, the Wyeth painting had been put against a wall alng with mstly damaged psters and prints.
The wman tk the piece hme, and then made a quick Internet search but culd nt find any infrmatin abut the wrk. After hanging the painting in her bedrm fr several years, she eventually stred it in her study.
She rediscvered the painting this past May while ding cleaning, and this time psted images f the wrk n an nline page titled “Things Fund in Walls”, which is devted t “stries f things yu have fund in walls, dug up in yur backyard, r in that spare huse acrss the street frm yur grandma’s”, accrding t the grup’s descriptin.
Cmments n the pst led her t cntact Lauren Lewis, a frmer curatr wh wrked with paintings by three generatins f the Wyeths: N. C. Wyeth, his sn Andrew Wyeth and his grandsn Jamie Wyeth. S she did.
“After seeing the piece in persn, Lewis was 99% certain it was authentic instead f a cpy,” she tld The Bstn Glbe. “While it certainly had sme small scratches (划痕), it was in remarkable cnditin cnsidering nne f us had any idea f its jurney ver the last 80 years.”
Wyeth ften prduced cver art fr publishers f peridicals and nvels. The painting up fr sale in September is ne f fur he cmpleted fr a 1939 editin f Helen Hunt Jacksn’s bk Ramna, riginally published in 1884. In it, Wyeth painted the yung title character facing her elderly mther.

Clarence DeMar wuld train fr races by running t and frm his jb in Bstn, up t 14 miles a day. His hard wrk paid ff. He wn the 1911 Bstn Marathn and cmpeted in the next year’s Olympics.
But at the time, many peple and medical experts thught prlnged (持续很久的) exercise was dangerus. A dctr, detecting a heart murmur (杂音), warned DeMar t quit the sprt.
DeMar prved them all wrng—bth during his lifetime and after—in ways that helped change peple’s minds abut the benefits f exercise.
He became ne f the mst nticeable distance runners f his day, cmpeting in tw mre Olympics and winning the Bstn Marathn a recrd seven times between 1911 and 1930. He kept winning races well int his 40s. The press called him “Mr. DeMarathn”.
After he died f cancer at age 70, tw Bstn-area experts tk a lk at his heart. What they fund were different frm all thse terrifying warnings. Nt nly was DeMar’s heart in gd shape, but his arteries(动脉) were als tw t three times the size f a typical persn’s — reducing the risk f a fatal blckage. As fr that heart murmur the dctr warned DeMar abut? Experts say, “We nw knw that highly trained athletes ften have a heart murmur, and it’s nrmal.”
The study, published in the New England Jurnal f Medicine in 1961, made the frnt page f The Bstn Glbe. “It was ne f thse first studies that taught us that the human bdy can really handle, very healthfully, lts and lts f exercise,” said Dr. Aarn Baggish, a prfessr at the University f Lausanne in Switzerland and the frmer medical directr f the Bstn Marathn.
The ppularity f running explded in the decades after DeMar’s death, as further research backed that up. It’s nw well-established that regular exercise makes us healthier and prlngs ur lives.
The current natinal guidelines recmmend at least tw and a half t five hurs f mderate exercise like walking each week, r an hur and fifteen minutes t tw and a half hurs f vigrus activity like running—and research suggests mre is generally better.
8. Why did the dctr advise DeMar t give up prlnged exercise?
A. He was in pr health.B. He had a heart murmur.
C. He must fcus n his jb.D. He was unable t finish it.
9. What was DeMar’s attitude t the dctr’s warning?
A. Favrable.B. Wrried.C. Mistrustful.D. Unclear.
10. What did the tw Bstn experts find abut DeMar?
A. His heart was in bad shape.B. He died frm t much exercise.
C. He suffered frm artery blckage.D. He benefited frm lts f exercise.
11. What des the last paragraph mainly talk abut?
A. Advice n exercise.B. Several frms f exercise.
C. The advantages f walking.D. The purpse f the research.

Artificial intelligence (AI) tls designed t perate at human levels have greatly expanded in ppularity ver the past year. These include OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Ggle’s Bard and Micrsft’s AI-pwered search engine Bing. Such tls, als knwn as chatbts r generative AI, are cmputer-pwered systems. They are designed t interact smthly with humans and perfrm high-level writing and creative wrk.
In recent mnths, these tls have demnstrated an ability t prduce high-quality wrk. This has led sme technlgy experts t warn that generative AI systems culd end up replacing wrkers in many industries.
This year, researchers at Harvard Business Schl and ther rganizatins carried ut an experiment. It aimed t test hw well AI tls culd help wrkers perfrm their usual duties r tasks. It invlved mre than 700 business advisrs, called cnsultants, frm Massachusetts-based Bstn Cnsulting Grup.
Harvard Business Schl recently published the results frm the experiment in a wrking paper. The main findings suggest that AI tls like ChatGPT can greatly imprve wrker perfrmance. Fr example, researchers fund that, n average, wrkers wh used OpenAI’s latest ChatGPT 4 tl cmpleted 12 percent mre tasks than nn-ChatGPT users. Tasks carried ut with help frm the AI technlgy were cmpleted 25 percent faster. And the team fund the quality f wrk perfrmed by cnsultants using ChatGPT 4 increased by abut 40 percent.
Hwever, the paper als nted areas where the perfrmance f cnsultants using ChatGPT 4 drpped. The researchers said this was especially true with tasks the AI tl was nt gd at cmpleting. “Of tasks the AI was gd at, the experiment shwed it significantly imprved human perfrmance,” the paper said. “But fr tasks ChatGPT 4 was nt right fr, humans relied t much n the AI and were mre likely t make mistakes.”
The team suggests ne f the biggest barriers t cmpanies effectively using AI is nt knwing which tasks can be cmpleted best with the technlgy. Finding this ut will require businesses t carry ut thughtful research and training effrts in rder t find the right mix f AI and human-level wrk.
12. What is a purpse f designing AI tls accrding t the text?
A. T perfrm lw-level writing.B. T replace technlgy experts.
C. T finish high-quality wrk.D. T imprve interpersnal cmmunicatin.
13. Why des the authr mentin ChatGPT 4 in paragraph 4?
A. T explain the disadvantages f AI tls.
B. T shw hw well AI tls culd help wrkers.
C. T frecast changes in the future wrking envirnment.
D. T cmpare the wrk perfrmance between humans and AI tls.
14. What can be learned frm the last paragraph?
A. Cmpanies need t balance the wrk f AI and humans.
BIt is useless t train s many wrkers t learn t use AI.
C. It is easy t find the right mix f AI and human-level wrk.
D. Research n using AI effectively has been made by businesses.
15. What is the best title fr the text?
A. ChatGPT Can See, Hear and Speak Nw

I went t the garage t access the attic strage and mved ur tall metal ladder int place. I had t mve the bags f clthing and blankets ut f the way, determined nce again t get thse t the dnatin center.
I climbed the ladder, and tw steps frm the tp I was able t reach up and push pen the attic dr. Then, with my feet n the very last step and part f my upper bdy in the attic, I saw my trees. I awkwardly raised my leg t climb nt the attic flr. Lking dwn, and then lking up again, I decided that this was actually t much fr me. I shuld wait fr my husband t get them.
As I stepped dwn, my ft missed the shaky ladder’s step. With ne ft swinging and the ther n the tp step, I grabbed(抓住) the attic flrbard and called my husband. Unfrtunately, he culdn’t hear me. As I went t take anther step dwn, the ladder suddenly came ut frm under me, ludly crashing nt the cncrete(混凝土的) garage flr, leaving me hanging frm the attic with sweaty hands. In that secnd, which seemed like a century, I prayed and then called my husband.

But at the time, many peple and medical experts thught prlnged (持续很久的) exercise was dangerus. A dctr, detecting a heart murmur (杂音), warned DeMar t quit the sprt.
DeMar prved them all wrng—bth during his lifetime and after—in ways that helped change peple’s minds abut the benefits f exercise.
He became ne f the mst nticeable distance runners f his day, cmpeting in tw mre Olympics and winning the Bstn Marathn a recrd seven times between 1911 and 1930. He kept winning races well int his 40s. The press called him “Mr. DeMarathn”.
After he died f cancer at age 70, tw Bstn-area experts tk a lk at his heart. What they fund were different frm all thse terrifying warnings. Nt nly was DeMar’s heart in gd shape, but his arteries(动脉) were als tw t three times the size f a typical persn’s — reducing the risk f a fatal blckage. As fr that heart murmur the dctr warned DeMar abut? Experts say, “We nw knw that highly trained athletes ften have a heart murmur, and it’s nrmal.”
The study, published in the New England Jurnal f Medicine in 1961, made the frnt page f The Bstn Glbe. “It was ne f thse first studies that taught us that the human bdy can really handle, very healthfully, lts and lts f exercise,” said Dr. Aarn Baggish, a prfessr at the University f Lausanne in Switzerland and the frmer medical directr f the Bstn Marathn.
The ppularity f running explded in the decades after DeMar’s death, as further research backed that up. It’s nw well-established that regular exercise makes us healthier and prlngs ur lives.
The current natinal guidelines recmmend at least tw and a half t five hurs f mderate exercise like walking each week, r an hur and fifteen minutes t tw and a half hurs f vigrus activity like running—and research suggests mre is generally better.

A. He was in pr health.B. He had a heart murmur.
C. He must fcus n his jb.D. He was unable t finish it.
9. What was DeMar’s attitude t the dctr’s warning?
A. Favrable.B. Wrried.C. Mistrustful.D. Unclear.
10. What did the tw Bstn experts find abut DeMar?

Fr example, researchers fund that, n average, wrkers wh used OpenAI’s latest ChatGPT 4 tl cmpleted 12 percent mre tasks than nn-ChatGPT users. Tasks carried ut with help frm the AI technlgy were cmpleted 25 percent faster. And the team fund the quality f wrk perfrmed by cnsultants using ChatGPT 4 increased by abut 40 percent.
Hwever, the paper als nted areas where the perfrmance f cnsultants using ChatGPT 4 drpped. The researchers said this was especially true with tasks the AI tl was nt gd at cmpleting. “Of tasks the AI was gd at, the experiment shwed it significantly imprved human perfrmance,” the paper said. “But fr tasks ChatGPT 4 was nt right fr, humans relied t much n the AI and were mre likely t make mistakes.”
The team suggests ne f the biggest barriers t cmpanies effectively using AI is nt knwing which tasks can be cmpleted best with the technlgy. Finding this ut will require businesses t carry ut thughtful research and training effrts in rder t find the right mix f AI and human-level wrk.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是大笑可以提升情绪，减轻痛苦，保护人们免受压力的有害影响
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意：笑就像一种健康的超级药物，可以提升你的情绪，减轻痛苦，保护你免受压力的有害影响。分析句子结构可知，此处应为形容词作定语，修饰名词effects，harm的形容词为harmful意为“有害的”符合句意。故填harmful。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意：记者、作家和教授诺曼·考辛斯是一位著名的笑声作为一种医学形式的支持者，也是健康和保健领域的杰出人物。分析句子结构可知，supprter意为“支持者”为可数名词单数，其前无限定词，所以此处应使用冠词，结合句意，此处表示“一位著名的支持者”为泛指意义，所以此处应使用不定冠词，well-knwn的首个音素为辅音，所以此处应使用不定冠词a。故填a。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意：记者、作家和教授诺曼·考辛斯是一位著名的笑声作为一种医学形式的支持者，也是健康和保健领域的杰出人物。分析句子结构可知，此处应为固定短语in the field f意为“在……领域”符合句意。故填in。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意：20世纪60年代末，50岁左右的考辛斯被诊断出患有强直性脊柱炎，康复的希望渺茫；只有五分之一的机会。分析句子结构可知，此处应为形容词作后置定语，age的形容词为aged意为“……岁”符合句意，所以此处应使用过去分词形式。故填aged。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：然而，据纽波特学院称，考辛斯注意到，当他参与大笑时，他的疼痛减轻了。分析句子结构可知，此处应为谓语动词，根据本段的语境可知，此处讲述的是过去的事情，所以应使用一般过去时，ntice与句子主语Cusins之间为主动关系。故填nticed。
【41题详解】
考查代词。句意：因此，他开始定期为自己安排滑稽电影。分析句子结构可知，此处应为代词作宾语，结合句意可知，句子主语与宾语为同一人，所以此处应使用he的反身代词himself。故填himself。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：值得注意的是，他在确诊后又活了25年，并在加州大学医院的支持下对笑的医学益处进行了深入研究。分析句子结构可知，此处应为副词作状语修饰整个句子，remarkable的副词为remarkably意为“值得注意的是”符合句意，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Remarkably。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意：从那时起，研究不断证实笑在缓解疼痛和提高整体幸福感方面的有效性。分析句子结构可知，relieving pain与空后的imprving verall well-being为并列结构，结合句意，两者之间为并列关系，所以此处应使用并列连词and。故填and。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：研究发现，开怀大笑可以缓解身体紧张，让肌肉放松长达45分钟。分析句子结构可知，此处应为非谓语动词作状语，leave与逻辑主语a hearty laugh之间为主动关系，所以使用现在分词形式。故填leaving。
【45题详解】
考查动词语态和主谓一致。句意：重要的是，这些身体上的改善对心理健康有显著的积极影响，因为身心是相连的。分析句子结构可知，此处应为谓语动词，根据语境以及主句的谓语动词have可知，此处应使用一般现在时，cnnect与句子主语the mind and bdy为被动关系，且句子主语为复数意义。故填are cnnected。

As I stepped dwn, my ft missed the shaky ladder’s step. With ne ft swinging and the ther n the tp step, I grabbed(抓住) the attic flrbard and called my husband. Unfrtunately, he culdn’t hear me. As I went t take anther step dwn, the ladder suddenly came ut frm under me, ludly crashing nt the cncrete(混凝土的) garage flr, leaving me hanging frm the attic with sweaty hands. In that secnd, which seemed like a century, I prayed and then called my husband.
