Lking back, Geff Banks f Devn, England can hardly even remember hw he first started writing t his American friend, Celesta Byrne.
Geff and Celesta were given each ther’s names and addresses as part f a schl pen pal prgram back in 1938. They’re bth nw 100 years ld, and a lt has changed in the past 84 years: their age changed ;their appearance changed; but ne thing has nt—they still use the traditinal way t cntact.
“I hnestly struggle t remember smething, but I was talking t Celesta recently and I think it was smething t d with an American schl’s scheme,” Geff said,” They matched us up with Americans fr a pen pal relatinship, and smehw I ended up with this letter frm an American girl, and we’ve just kept crrespnding (通信) ever since.”
Geff and Celesta’s relatinship never turned rmantic, but they shared a lt ver the decades. They kept up their crrespndence thrugh Wrld War II, sending updates abut their families, friends, and wrk. In 2002, they finally gt a chance t meet in persn during a trip t New Yrk City. Tw years later, they met up again, but ever since then they’ve gne back t pen and paper.
Recently, they’ve switched t digital frms f cmmunicatin t stay in tuch. Their children have helped them set up email accunts. “I’ve knwn this new thing called Zm, I think, nw t chat with her, but I leave all the technlgy t yunger peple. Deep dwn, I refuse t use Zm. Writing t Celesta has been a surce f great satisfactin fr me ver the years,” said Geff.
Celesta says their relatinship is “like peple wh live next dr”. “Yu knw hw they’re ding, yu say a few wrds, and then yu bth g t wrk,” she explained. “She’s always been there t write t, even if it was just birthday cards and Christmas cards.” Geff added.

A. Sending cards.B. Writing t each ther.
C. Enjying telling jkes.D. Struggling t remember things.
5. What d Geff Banks’ wrds in Paragraph 3tell us?

Last winter I enjyed a brief adventure in Guatemala. Over a perid f 12 days, I explred thrugh the jungle t watch the sunrise and danced in the street during the hliday parade. But lking back n that trip, what I remember mst vividly is a New Year’s Eve in Guatemala City, at a lifeless htel. Rather than a cuntdwn t midnight, I cunted dwn the hurs until my departure.
Nthing special happened during that night. Rather, the big rle this htel plays in my memries can be explained by a psychlgical principle called the recency effect. “The recency effect helps t accunt fr ur tendency t remember the ending part f a sequence f events with far mre clarity than the rest, ” said Dr. Mary Pffenrth, a bipsychlgist.
She says it arises frm ur shrt-term memry’s inability t hld n t mre than a small amunt f infrmatin at nce. S while there is n magic frmula t create lvely travel memries, emplying the recency effect can turn a gd trip int an unfrgettable ne.
Dr. Stephanie, a Neurscientist, says that while yu can strategically set ff the recency effect at a trip’s end, yu may have multiple pprtunities t create lasting memries all alng the way by breaking it up int smaller chunks.
Keep in mind that the recency effect can als backfire. “Ending an amazing trip with stressful flight delays, lst luggage r feeling unwell might be enugh t vershadw the entire experience, resulting in remembering the trip as awful instead f jyful, ” Stephanie said.
T avid disprprtinately (不成比例地)sptlighting the final days, Pffenrth has created a trick: She amplifies (增强) earlier days in a trip t keep her memries well-runded. “I cllect little bits that will remind me f that day: a subway ticket, a seashell, a cardbard drink with a pub’ s lg n it. ” Then, as she is packing n the last day, “I g thrugh all my little fund treasures and spend a few mments recalling each ne, ” she said. “This gives me a sense f clsure fr that chapter f travel and makes the experience memrable. ”
8. Hw did the authr feel abut the New Year’s Eve in Guatemala City?
A. It was bring.B. It was eventful.
C. It was relaxing.D. It was cheerful.
9. What d we knw abut the recency effect frm paragraph 2?
A. It is based n a psychlgical principle.
B. It is widely used t create lvely memries.
C. It highlights the final part f a series f events.
D. It makes up fr the inability f shrt-term memry.
10. What des the underlined wrd “backfire” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Be avided t sme extent.B. Be applied extensively.
C. Prduce undesirable cnsequences.D. Pse unexpected challenges.
11. Accrding t Pffenrth, which f the fllwing may help travelers have gd memries?
A. Share travel experiences.B. Recall the final days f a jurney.
C. Purchase as many suvenirs as pssible.D. Purpsely gather reminders f a jurney.

In March, 2023, a grup f cmputer scientists published an assessment f a new chatbt with artificial intelligence (AI). The team’s reprt drew glbal attentin t ne test in particular: We have a bk, nine eggs, a laptp, a bttle and a nail, and please tell me hw t pile them nt each ther in a stable manner. This is a tugh puzzle. Earlier versins f the chatbt gave silly and unreasnable answers. But the new chatbt’s unique answer helped set ff the current glbal wave f AI advcacy and anxiety. It fueled debate abut hw large language mdels (LLMs) were able t perfrm creative tasks.
By 2022, LLMs were being trained n as many as 17 trillin wrds f human-generated text, mainly frm the Internet. It was certain that the new chatbt was expsed t functinal fixedness (功能固着) prblems in its training. The researchers were f curse aware f that and invented the “eggs and laptp” puzzle t prevent the new chatbt frm dishnestly cpying an answer frm the Internet. LLMs used language statistics nly. N ne had said hw t pile these nine eggs n tp f each ther ever befre. The extreme rarity f thse wrds wuld tend t prevent LLMs frm talking abut piling eggs in unrealistic ways. One f the researchers that tested the new chatbt thinks it’s likely that an LLM trained n trillins f wrds creates a wrld mdel, and this is what gives it the “magical” extraplatin (外推) prperties.
Are LLMs truly riginal r are they just plagiarists (剽窃者)? The tw statements may nt be as different as they seem. There’s nthing entirely new under the sun. Edisn did nt invent the light bulb but imprved it. Mst s-called creatrs apply knwledge frm different fields t a prblem and arrive at a slutin. It’s mre a matter f making relevant cnnectins than f inventing smething cmpletely new. If LLMs are indeed acquiring the ability t make relevant cnnectins, that wuld be a histric but discmfrting develpment.
12. What d we knw abut the new chatbt’s answer t the puzzle in paragraph 1?
A. It was silly.B. It set peple thinking.
C. It drew little attentin.D. It highlighted language innvatin.
13. Why did the researchers invent the “eggs and laptp” puzzle?
A. T cpy nline answers.B. T stp the chatbt cheating.
C. T train humans t use language.D. T expse the chatbt t functinal prblems.
14. What des the authr cnvey in the last paragraph?
A. Hw an inventin came int being.B. Hw Edisn became successful in histry.
C. Why Edisn invented smething entirely new.D. Why an inventin required effrt and pprtunity.
15. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Will Rbts Replace Humans?B. Can Rbts Develp Smthly?
C. Can AI Cme Up With Anything Original?D. Will AI Slve Magical And Difficult Prblems?

Last winter I enjyed a brief adventure in Guatemala. Over a perid f 12 days, I explred thrugh the jungle t watch the sunrise and danced in the street during the hliday parade. But lking back n that trip, what I remember mst vividly is a New Year’s Eve in Guatemala City, at a lifeless htel. Rather than a cuntdwn t midnight, I cunted dwn the hurs until my departure.
Nthing special happened during that night. Rather, the big rle this htel plays in my memries can be explained by a psychlgical principle called the recency effect. “The recency effect helps t accunt fr ur tendency t remember the ending part f a sequence f events with far mre clarity than the rest, ” said Dr. Mary Pffenrth, a bipsychlgist.
She says it arises frm ur shrt-term memry’s inability t hld n t mre than a small amunt f infrmatin at nce. S while there is n magic frmula t create lvely travel memries, emplying the recency effect can turn a gd trip int an unfrgettable ne.
Dr. Stephanie, a Neurscientist, says that while yu can strategically set ff the recency effect at a trip’s end, yu may have multiple pprtunities t create lasting memries all alng the way by breaking it up int smaller chunks.
Keep in mind that the recency effect can als backfire. “Ending an amazing trip with stressful flight delays, lst luggage r feeling unwell might be enugh t vershadw the entire experience, resulting in remembering the trip as awful instead f jyful, ” Stephanie said.
T avid disprprtinately (不成比例地)sptlighting the final days, Pffenrth has created a trick: She amplifies (增强) earlier days in a trip t keep her memries well-runded. “I cllect little bits that will remind me f that day: a subway ticket, a seashell, a cardbard drink with a pub’ s lg n it. ” Then, as she is packing n the last day, “I g thrugh all my little fund treasures and spend a few mments recalling each ne, ” she said. “This gives me a sense f clsure fr that chapter f travel and makes the experience memrable. ”
8. Hw did the authr feel abut the New Year’s Eve in Guatemala City?
A. It was bring.B. It was eventful.
C. It was relaxing.D. It was cheerful.
9. What d we knw abut the recency effect frm paragraph 2?
A. It is based n a psychlgical principle.
B. It is widely used t create lvely memries.
C. It highlights the final part f a series f events.
D. It makes up fr the inability f shrt-term memry.
10. What des the underlined wrd “backfire” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Be avided t sme extent.B. Be applied extensively.
C. Prduce undesirable cnsequences.D. Pse unexpected challenges.
11. Accrding t Pffenrth, which f the fllwing may help travelers have gd memries?
A. Share travel experiences.B. Recall the final days f a jurney.
C. Purchase as many suvenirs as pssible.D. Purpsely gather reminders f a jurney.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了心理学中的近因效应原理，即人们倾向于更清晰地记住事件序列的结尾部分。作者通过自己的旅行经历，说明了运用近因效应可以让旅行变得更加难忘。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“But lking back n that trip, what I remember mst vividly is a New Year's Eve in Guatemala City, at a lifeless htel. Rather than a cuntdwn t midnight, I cunted dwn the hurs until my departure.( 但回想起那次旅行，我印象最深刻的是在危地马拉城的一个新年前夜，在一家毫无生气的酒店里。我没有倒数午夜，而是倒数出发前的几个小时。)” 可知，作者对危地马拉城的那个新年夜感到无聊，因为他在倒数离开的时间而不是新年的到来。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The recency effect helps t accunt fr ur tendency t remember the ending part f a sequence f events with far mre clarity than the rest,(近因效应有助于解释为什么我们倾向于比其他部分更清楚地记住一系列事件的结束部分，)”，这句话说明近因效应强调了事件序列结尾部分的记忆清晰度高于其他部分。C选项“It highlights the final part f a series f events.(它突出了一系列事件的最后一部分。)”符合题意。故选C。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第五段中划线词后面的内容“Ending an amazing trip with stressful flight delays, lst luggage r feeling unwell might be enugh t vershadw the entire experience, resulting in remembering the trip as awful instead f jyful(以紧张的航班延误、行李丢失或感觉不适来结束一次美妙的旅行，可能足以给整个经历蒙上阴影，导致你对旅行的记忆是糟糕的，而不是快乐的。)”可知，如果旅行以令人紧张的航班延误、行李丢失或身体不适等不愉快的事情结束，可能会使整个旅行体验变得糟糕，从而记住的是糟糕的旅行而不是愉快的旅行。因此，此处强调首因效应有时候会产生不良的后果。故划线词“backfire”在这里的意思是“产生不良后果”，C选项“Prduce undesirable cnsequences.(产生不良后果。)”与其为近义词。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Then, as she is packing n the last day, “I g thrugh all my little fund treasures and spend a few mments recalling each ne, ” she said. “This gives me a sense f clsure fr that chapter f travel and makes the experience memrable. ”(然后，在最后一天收拾行李的时候，她说：“我会浏览我所有的小宝贝，花点时间回忆每一件。”“这给了我一种结束旅行的感觉，让我的经历变得难忘。”)”可知，Pffenrth认为故意收集旅行的纪念品，花时间浏览自己的旅游纪念品，能够让作者的经历变得难忘即可以帮助旅行者拥有良好的记忆。因此，选项D“Purpsely gather reminders f a jurney.(故意收集旅行的纪念品)”有助于游客们拥有美好的旅游记忆。故选D。

In March, 2023, a grup f cmputer scientists published an assessment f a new chatbt with artificial intelligence (AI). The team’s reprt drew glbal attentin t ne test in particular: We have a bk, nine eggs, a laptp, a bttle and a nail, and please tell me hw t pile them nt each ther in a stable manner. This is a tugh puzzle. Earlier versins f the chatbt gave silly and unreasnable answers. But the new chatbt’s unique answer helped set ff the current glbal wave f AI advcacy and anxiety. It fueled debate abut hw large language mdels (LLMs) were able t perfrm creative tasks.
By 2022, LLMs were being trained n as many as 17 trillin wrds f human-generated text, mainly frm the Internet. It was certain that the new chatbt was expsed t functinal fixedness (功能固着) prblems in its training. The researchers were f curse aware f that and invented the “eggs and laptp” puzzle t prevent the new chatbt frm dishnestly cpying an answer frm the Internet. LLMs used language statistics nly. N ne had said hw t pile these nine eggs n tp f each ther ever befre. The extreme rarity f thse wrds wuld tend t prevent LLMs frm talking abut piling eggs in unrealistic ways. One f the researchers that tested the new chatbt thinks it’s likely that an LLM trained n trillins f wrds creates a wrld mdel, and this is what gives it the “magical” extraplatin (外推) prperties.
Are LLMs truly riginal r are they just plagiarists (剽窃者)? The tw statements may nt be as different as they seem. There’s nthing entirely new under the sun. Edisn did nt invent the light bulb but imprved it. Mst s-called creatrs apply knwledge frm different fields t a prblem and arrive at a slutin. It’s mre a matter f making relevant cnnectins than f inventing smething cmpletely new. If LLMs are indeed acquiring the ability t make relevant cnnectins, that wuld be a histric but discmfrting develpment.
12. What d we knw abut the new chatbt’s answer t the puzzle in paragraph 1?
A. It was silly.B. It set peple thinking.
C. It drew little attentin.D. It highlighted language innvatin.
13. Why did the researchers invent the “eggs and laptp” puzzle?
A. T cpy nline answers.B. T stp the chatbt cheating.
C. T train humans t use language.D. T expse the chatbt t functinal prblems.
14. What des the authr cnvey in the last paragraph?
A. Hw an inventin came int being.B. Hw Edisn became successful in histry.
C. Why Edisn invented smething entirely new.D. Why an inventin required effrt and pprtunity.
15 What is the best title fr the text?
A. Will Rbts Replace Humans?B. Can Rbts Develp Smthly?
C. Can AI Cme Up With Anything Original?D. Will AI Slve Magical And Difficult Prblems?
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了一群计算机科学家通过一个“鸡蛋和笔记本”的问题，来测试新聊天机器人是否可以进行创作。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But the new chatbt’s unique answer helped set ff the current glbal wave f AI advcacy and anxiety. It fueled debate abut hw large language mdels (LLMs) were able t perfrm creative tasks.(但这款新型聊天机器人的独特回答，在一定程度上引发了当前全球对人工智能的倡导和焦虑。它引发了关于大型语言模型（LLMs）如何能够执行创造性任务的争论)”可知，新聊天机器人对谜题的答案引起人们思考。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The researchers were f curse aware f that and invented the “eggs and laptp” puzzle t prevent the new chatbt frm dishnestly cpying an answer frm the Internet.(研究人员当然意识到了这一点，并发明了“鸡蛋和笔记本电脑”难题，以防止新的聊天机器人不诚实地从互联网上复制答案)”可知，研究人员要发明“鸡蛋和笔记本电脑”的谜题是为了阻止聊天机器人作弊。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“There’s nthing entirely new under the sun. Edisn did nt invent the light bulb but imprved it. Mst s-called creatrs apply knwledge frm different fields t a prblem and arrive at a slutin. It’s mre a matter f making relevant cnnectins than f inventing smething cmpletely new. If LLMs are indeed acquiring the ability t make relevant cnnectins, that wuld be a histric but discmfrting develpment.(太阳底下没有什么是全新的。爱迪生没有发明电灯泡，而是改进了它。大多数所谓的创造者将不同领域的知识应用于一个问题，并得出解决方案。更重要的是建立相关的联系，而不是发明全新的东西。如果LLMs 确实获得了建立相关联系的能力，那将是一个具有历史意义但令人不安的发展)”可知，作者在最后一段想表达一项发明是如何产生的。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Are LLMs truly riginal r are they just plagiarists (剽窃者)? The tw statements may nt be as different as they seem.( LLMs是真正的原创者还是只是剽窃者？这两种说法可能并不像看上去那么不同)”结合文章主要说明了一群计算机科学家通过一个“鸡蛋和笔记本”的问题，来测试新聊天机器人是否可以进行创作。可知，C选项“人工智能能创造出原创的东西吗？”最符合文章标题。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了湖州王一品毛笔店的现状，年轻人不愿学习制作毛笔的古老技艺，这一千年技艺面临失传。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意：年轻人不愿意学习制作书法用的传统毛笔所需的古老技艺。提示词修饰名词pens，用形容词traditinal作定语，意为“传统的”。故填traditinal。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在湖州王一品毛笔店的工坊里，29岁的史王莉用牛角梳子在水中梳理山羊毛，以挑选合适的毛发来制作毛笔。“(chse) apprpriate hairs t make a Chinese brush pen”是梳理羊毛的目的，用不定式t chse作目的状语。故填t chse。
【38题详解】
考查连词。句意：她的手每天至少要浸泡在水里八个小时，无论夏天还是冬天。是复合连词，意为“两者都；既……又……”。故填and。
【39题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：选毛是制作优质毛笔最重要的步骤之一，而且这项工作不能由机器完成。“ne f+the+形容词最高级+可数名词复数”是固定结构，表示“最……之一”，step是可数名词，用复数形式steps。故填steps。
【40题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：选毛是制作优质毛笔最重要的步骤之一，而且这项工作不能由机器完成。perfrm(做，执行)是分句谓语动词，与主语the wrk之间是被动关系，且情态动词cannt后接动词原形，所以用be perfrmed。故填be perfrmed。
【41题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：史是整个湖州市最年轻的制笔技师。根据“in the entire city f Huzhu. ”可知，这里是在整个湖州市的范围内进行比较，结合定冠词the可知，要用形容词最高级yungest作定语，意为“最年轻的”。故填yungest。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意：如今，很少有年轻人愿意从事这样一份困难的工作。可数名词jb在句中表示“一份困难的工作”，泛指，且difficult是发音以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：该店总经理徐建峰担心，年轻人不愿学习的有着千年历史的湖州毛笔制作技艺将会失传。“____ n yung peple are willing t learn”是一个非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词techniques，指物，关系词将其代入从句中作宾语，用关系代词which引导从句。故填which。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：湖州位于浙江省北部，有着数千年的制笔历史。“(lcate) in the nrth f Zhejiang Prvince”作地点状语，lcate(把……安置在)和逻辑主语Huzhu之间是被动关系，要用过去分词形式表被动；句首单词首字母大写。故填Lcated。
【45题详解】
考查介词。句意：在中国历史上，毛笔被视为传承文化遗产的重要工具。be regarded as是固定搭配，意为“被视为，被看作”。故填as。
