I’m a 66-year-ld harp (竖琴) student. Others in my class are 5,7,10,14…The next ldest is 30. I fancy myself the sage elder, hping that they see me as a surce f inspiratin —“Yu’re never t ld t learn.” r “If she can d it, I can, t!”
After 4 years f learning t play, it was time fr ur first in-persn harp perfrmance! Perfrmers sat amng the guests befrehand, chatting and drawing excitement and energy frm the full-f-anticipatin rm. One by ne, my fellw students went — each playing superbly. I was prud f them like they were my wn kids. Then, it was my turn. I was still relaxed and cnfident.
But I struggled frm the start. I kept my fingers mving n the strings, but the meldy (旋律) was all wrng. Luckily, the harp is a frgiving instrument. Even wrng ntes can sund meldic. But if anyne knew hw the sngs were suppsed t sund, they’d have knwn I was messing it up. Suddenly, glrius sunlight shne thrugh the cncert hall’s windws. Nw I culdn’t see! But the shw must g n, right?
When I gt ttally lst in the middle f bth f my pieces, I thught, “I dn’t knw what this is anymre, but it sunds kind f nice!” Smetimes, wnderful creatins can be brn ut f panicked imprvisatin (即兴创作). I kept thinking, “Make a jyful nise, regardless!”
The 8 minutes felt like 8 hurs.
Being the eldest in the rm ften makes peple assume yu’re the best r wisest. The truth, especially at that perfrmance, was far different. But I wuld have awarded myself a gld star fr the curage t start playing a new instrument at 62, and then perfrm in frnt f a large audience.
Making music knws n age. Thinking back n my first perfrmance, I realize that my lengthy life experience has taught me that the shw must g n n matter what wrrisme wrld plitics, health scares, uncertain ecnmic times, r difficult persnal relatinships are ccurring. Life’s music is playing! It’s my jb t shw up and keep trying.

In experiments invlving buncy balls, plastic bttles and a high-speed camera, researchers in Chile discvered that it’s pssible t cntrl the height f a cntainer’s bunce by swirling (旋动) the water inside.
If this experiment sunds like smething ut f a scial media challenge, that’s because it is. Pabl Gutiérrez, a physicist at Chile’s O’Higgins University, became interested in buncing cntainers after his sn shwed him the viral “bttle flip” challenge: thrwing a half-full plastic bttle s it flies end ver end and sticks the landing. “Pabl became very gd at this challenge,” laughs Gutiérrez’s c-authr Lenard Grdill, “He was thrwing a lt f bttles.”
S the physicists and their research team tk bttle flipping int the labratry. They glued halves f rubber balls t the bttle’s bttm t enhance their bunce. And they made a key bservatin: bttles they’d swirled befre releasing bunced far less, prbably thanks t fluid dynamics(流体力学). T test this, the physicists built a device that culd swirl and drp bttles with scientific precisin. Indeed, the faster the water was swirled, the lwer a bttle’s bunce.
Like car passengers during a tight turn, swirling water inside a bttle gets pushed t the sides f the cntainer, frcing it upward evenly alng the walls. When the bttle hits the grund, the water curses dwn tward a single pint at the center f the bttle’s base. All f the fluid tries t pass thrugh that pint but can’t. With nwhere else t g, the water flies back upward. Mst f the falling bttle’s mmentum (动量) gets redirected int this vertical jet (垂直喷射流) rather than int a bunce, lwering the impact and explaining why swirled bttles tend t stick their landings when “flipped”.
Tadd Trusctt, a fluid physicist in Saudi Arabia, says he’d be interested t see whether the effect wrks fr stickier fluids r fr larger cntainer sizes. Such findings culd perhaps be useful fr reducing crash damage t fluid-filled cntainers like fuel tanks. It culd als make fr an afternn f fun at hme. The researchers encurage readers t give a bttle a swirl and see the result fr themselves.
28. What did Pabl’s sn shw him?
A. Hw a cntainer’s bunce was cntrlled.
B. Hw plastic bttles were flipped in the air.
C. Hw bttles culd be thrwn as high as pssible.
D. Hw a half-filled water bttle made a gd landing.
29. What did the physicists d t carry ut the experiment?
A. They chse larger plastic cntainers.
B. They replaced water with sticky fluids.
C. They pured mre water int the bttles.
D. They stuck smething t the bttle’s bttm.
30. Hw is paragraph 4 develped?
A. By sharing a persnal experiment.B. By cmparing varieties f water bttles.
C. By describing a bunce-reducing prcess.D. By giving an example f a car’s tight turn.
31. What wuld Tadd like t see?
A. The publicatin f the findings.B. The great fun f bttle flipping.
C. The applicatin f the experiment.D. The imprvement f fluid-filled cntainers.
【参考答案】28. D 29. D 30. C 31. C
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是智利的研究人员发现可以通过旋转容器内的水来控制容器的反弹高度。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Pabl Gutiérrez, a physicist at Chile’s O’Higgins University, became interested in buncing cntainers after his sn shwed him the viral “bttle flip” challenge: thrwing a half-full plastic bttle s it flies end ver end and sticks the landing.(智利O’Higgins大学的物理学家Pabl Gutiérrez在他的儿子向他展示了流行的“瓶子翻转”挑战后，对弹跳容器产生了兴趣：扔一个半满的塑料瓶，让它一端飞到另一端，然后粘在地上。)”可知，Pabl Gutiérrez儿子在向他展示“瓶子翻转”挑战，即“扔一个半满的塑料瓶，让它一端飞到另一端，然后粘在地上”后，对弹跳容器产生了兴趣，由此可知，他的儿子应该是向他展示半瓶水如何顺利落地。故选D项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“S the physicists and their research team tk bttle flipping int the labratry. They glued halves f rubber balls t the bttle’s bttm t enhance their bunce. And they made a key bservatin: bttles they’d swirled befre releasing bunced far less, prbably thanks t fluid dynamics(流体力学).(所以物理学家和他们的研究小组把瓶子扔进了实验室。他们把一半的橡皮球粘在瓶子的底部，以增强它们的弹性。他们做了一个关键的观察：他们在释放之前旋转的瓶子反弹得少得多，这可能要归功于流体力学。)”可知，物理学家和研究小组开始了扔瓶子实验，把一般的像皮球站在瓶子底部，以增强瓶子的弹性，他们做了一个重要的观察，由此可知，他们把什么东西粘在瓶子的底部来进行实验。故选D项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“When the bttle hits the grund, the water curses dwn tward a single pint at the center f the bttle’s base. All f the fluid tries t pass thrugh that pint but can’t. With nwhere else t g, the water flies back upward. Mst f the falling bttle’s mmentum (动量) gets redirected int this vertical jet (垂直喷射流) rather than int a bunce, lwering the impact and explaining why swirled bttles tend t stick their landings when “flipped”.(当瓶子撞到地面时，水会流向瓶子底部中心的一个点。所有的液体都试图通过这个点，但是不能。由于无处可去，水又逆流而上。瓶子下落的大部分动量被重新定向到垂直射流中，而不是反弹，这降低了冲击力，并解释了为什么旋转的瓶子在“翻转”时倾向于坚持着陆。)”可知，瓶子撞地时，由于水不能都流向平底中心的一个点，所以会逆流而上，瓶子在下落时降低了冲击力，并且解释了为什么旋转的瓶子在“翻转”时倾向于坚持着陆，由此可知，本段主要是通过描述一个减少反弹的过程发展的。故选C项。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据尾段中的“Tadd Trusctt, a fluid physicist in Saudi Arabia, says he’d be interested t see whether the effect wrks fr stickier fluids r fr larger cntainer sizes. (沙特阿拉伯的流体物理学家Tadd Trusctt说，他很有兴趣看看这种效应是否适用于粘性较强的流体或更大的容器。)”可知，Tadd Trusctt说他有兴趣看看这种效应是否适用于粘性较强的流体或者更大的容器，由此可知，Tadd想看一下该实验的实际应用。故选C项。
D
I’m used t seeing small leaps in technlgical prgress, but ccasinally, there are things that will still shck me. In 2022, a cmpany called OpenAI released a truly jaw-drpping demnstratin f a new AI technlgy that feels almst like technlgy has skipped ahead by a few generatins.
The AI technlgy is called ChatGPT, a cmputer prgram that can understand and respnd t human language. It is trained n a lt f text, s it can understand what peple are saying and respnd in a way that sunds like a real persn. What’s even mre amazing is that ChatGPT seems frighteningly human in its ability t understand questins and answer them cmpetently. “Write a stry abut Lenard da Vinci in the style f Rald Dahl,” yu can ask it, and it’ll spin up a pretty gd children’s stry.
One area where I’ve fund ChatGPT t be enrmusly useful is its ability t write cmputer cde. This has particularly amazed me. When yu write cde, it has t be very precise and carefully structured. But when I asked it t write a prgram that wuld put sme data int a database fr me, in a particularly cmplex way, within secnds it generated smething that wuld have taken me hurs t d manually.
ChatGPT is nt really cmpletely human, hwever. Fr example, it smetimes generates things that sund true, but are actually just nnsense. This is because f the way the AI learns thrugh pattern recgnitin. There’s n real intelligence perating there — it is just repeating smething based n what it has “read” befre. ChatGPT is better at sme tasks than thers: it can write a brilliant invitatin email, but its ability t rhyme leaves a lt t be desired.
And this is why I’m pretty cnvinced that ChatGPT is ging t change the wrld, sner rather than later. It’s already hugely impressive, but what exists at the mment is just a demnstratin. Once the same AI is built int ther apps and can cnnect t the live internet t learn mre, it will becme even mre sphisticated (复杂巧妙的). Our cmputers will n lnger be just ur wrd prcessrs, but ur writing partners t.
32. What can we learn abut ChatGPT frm paragraph 2?
A. It can understand peple’s emtins.B. It reacts like a real persn during talks.
C. It is unable t generate riginal cntents.D. It frightens peple much in different ways.
33. What is particularly amazing abut ChatGPT’s ability t write a prgram?
A. Its diversity.B. Its efficiency.C. Its structure.D. Its precisin.
34. What des paragraph 4 mainly talk abut?
A. ChatGPT has sme limitatins.
B. There’s n real intelligence in the wrld.
C. ChatGPT learns thrugh pattern recgnitin.
D. AI thinks almst the same way as humans d.
35. What is the authr’s attitude tward ChatGPT?
A. Psitive.B. Oppsed.C. Dubtful.D. Unclear.
【参考答案】32. B 33. B 34. A 35. A
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能ChatGPT的出色能力以及作者对ChatGPT的看法。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“It is trained n a lt f text, s it can understand what peple are saying and respnd in a way that sunds like a real persn. What’s even mre amazing is that ChatGPT seems frighteningly human in its ability t understand questins and answer them cmpetently.(它接受了大量文本的训练，所以它能理解人们在说什么，并以一种听起来像真人的方式做出回应。更令人惊讶的是，ChatGPT在理解问题和正确回答问题方面的能力似乎非常人性化)”可知，ChatGPT在谈话中表现得像一个真人。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But when I asked it t write a prgram that wuld put sme data int a database fr me, in a particularly cmplex way, within secnds it generated smething that wuld have taken me hurs t d manually.(但当我让它写一个程序，以一种特别复杂的方式，为我把一些数据输入数据库时，它在几秒钟内就生成了一些我手动需要几个小时才能完成的东西)”可知，ChatGPT编写程序的能力效率惊人。故选B。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“ChatGPT is nt really cmpletely human, hwever. Fr example, it smetimes generates things that sund true, but are actually just nnsense. This is because f the way the AI learns thrugh pattern recgnitin. There’s n real intelligence perating there — it is just repeating smething based n what it has “read” befre. ChatGPT is better at sme tasks than thers: it can write a brilliant invitatin email, but its ability t rhyme leaves a lt t be desired.(然而，ChatGPT并不是真正完全的人类。例如，它有时生成的东西听起来是真的，但实际上只是无稽之谈。这是因为人工智能通过模式识别学习的方式。那里没有真正的智能在运作——它只是根据之前“读过”的东西重复一些东西。ChatGPT在某些任务上比其他任务要好：它可以写一封出色的邀请电子邮件，但它的押韵能力还有很多需要改进的地方)”可知，第4段主要讲了ChatGPT有一些限制。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“And this is why I’m pretty cnvinced that ChatGPT is ging t change the wrld, sner rather than later. It’s already hugely impressive, but what exists at the mment is just a demnstratin.(这就是为什么我非常确信ChatGPT迟早会改变世界。它已经非常令人印象深刻，但目前存在的只是一个示范)”可知，作者对ChatGPT的态度是积极的。故选A。

Peple with a strng desire fr wealth tend t have lwer levels f well-being. In cntrast, peple wh live a life f vluntary simplicity with few pssessins have a higher level.(许多幸福水平最高的国家，如几个拉丁美洲国家，物质财富水平相对较低。对财富有强烈欲望的人往往幸福感较低。相比之下，那些自愿过着简朴生活、几乎没有财产的人，他们的生活水平更高)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，与上文构成因果关系，指出物质财富对于幸福并不十分重要。故F选项“所以，不要把物质财富看得太严重，这是幸福的良好开端”符合语境，故选F。

Yu can eat as much as yu like, but it desn’t satisfy yu-in fact, it just makes yu feel uncmfrtable and sick.(我有时把追求幸福的物质主义者比作吃饱了再吃。你可以想吃多少就吃多少，但这并不能满足你——事实上，它只会让你感到不舒服和恶心)”可知，本句与上文构成转折，指出物质财富超出一定程度就无法满足对幸福的追求。故D选项“但是超过某一点，它就没有什么区别了”符合语境，故选D。
【39题详解】
根据上文“The idea that wealth brings well-being als stps us frm fcusing n the real surces f happiness, like cntact with nature, relatinships, and inner harmny. These are much mre reliable and prductive surces f well-being.(财富带来幸福的想法也阻止了我们关注幸福的真正来源，比如与自然的接触、人际关系和内心的和谐。这些都是更可靠、更有成效的幸福来源)”可知，本句承接上文，继续说明提供幸福感的东西的作用。故B选项“它们提供了一种稳定而真正的幸福感”符合语境，故选B。

One day in my senir high schl, my teacher Mrs. Brwn advised me t take part in a petry cntest. My first reactin was t refuse, with the wrd “awful” ringing in my ears.

The mment I finished my pem, I gathered the curage t present it t my father, wndering what respnse I might receive. Reading quickly, he said anther “awful” as expected. Suddenly, I heard the mst beautiful vice, “Make it brief!” Quickly, I did s. The revised versin earned me a grand prize.
