Sometimes that’s all we want. Whether it is halfway through a 10-hour flight with a crying baby or trying to sleep through the snoring from the hotel room next door, the ____11____ of noise-canceling headphones is one that every traveler probably finds charming. Yet are they worth it? These headphones are often expensive, and for some people, they don’t live up to the ads.I’ve spent a ____12____ of the last five years traveling, taking dozens of flights and train journeys, and as someone who has reviewed noise-canceling headphones for even longer, I can definitely say maybe.HOW THEY WORK? Noise-canceling headphones, also called active noise canceling headphones, use electronic processing to analyze nearby sound and attempt to ____13____ the opposite sound. The result is less noise, over all.These headphones don’t create silence, nor are they able to ____14____ noise. The crests and troughs (波峰和波谷) do not perfectly cancel out. The absolute best noise-canceling headphones ____15____ reduce noise and work best with low-frequency droning sounds.Two headphone sets could claim to reduce the same amount of noise but ____16____ completely differently. Only hands-on testing, ideally with objective measurements, can tell the difference.Noise-canceling headphones require a battery to ____17____ their electronics. Noise-isolating headphones, which do not require electronics and therefore can be far cheaper, work by creating a seal in your ear canal to block noise. They are ____18____like earplugs, but with earbuds. If you can get a good seal, these work reasonably well.Getting a good seal can be a challenge, however, since everyone’s ears are different, and not all headphones will ____19____ correctly. And even if you do get a good seal, noise-isolating headphones will not be able to block low-frequency sounds as well as the best noise-canceling headphones. They will reduce a wide range of frequencies, which can help.WHO REALLY NEEDS THEM? If you are a frequent traveler, good noise-canceling headphones will make any journey in a plane, train or automobile far more pleasant.In-ear models are easier—though still slightly uncomfortable—to sleep with and are my ____20____. Over-ear models reduce a little more noise, as they are able to passively block some sound because of their design. But they are always bulky on your head or in your bag. After I stopped reviewing these headphones for Wirecutter, I bought a pair of Bose QuiteComfort 20s, a long time Wirecutter pick, and I never fly without them.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence-driven chatbot (聊天机器人) programme that responds to user prompts, has dominated social networks in recent weeks. Its ____21____ is such that within days of its launch, OpenAI, the artificial intelligence company behind the chatbot, announced that 1 million people had logged on. In comparison, Facebook and Spotify took months to attract that level of ____22____. The attraction is obvious: ChatGPT can generate jokes, essays and computer code from a short writing prompt.There’s nothing ____23____ in software that produces fluent and logical writing. ChatGPT’s predecessor, the Generative Pretrained Transformer 3 (GPT-3), could do that too. Both were trained on an unimaginably large amount of data to answer questions in a ____24____ way. But ChatGPT has been fine-tuned by being fed the data on human “conversations”, which significantly ____25____ the truthfulness and informativeness of its answers.____26____, ChatGPT still produces answers that seem reasonable but are incorrect or nonsensical. Even the bot itself says, “My responses are not intended to be taken as ____27____.” This might be a big problem on the Internet, as many web platforms ____28____ the capability to protect themselves against a flood of AI-generated content. Such websites as Stack Overflow, where users can find answers to programming-related questions, had to ban ChatGPT-produced posts, as its human moderators (管理员) could not deal with the ____29____ of believable but wrong replies. It is _____30_____ to give out tools that could be used to mass produce fake news and messages.Letting loose ChatGPT raises the question of whether content produced by it can be truly trusted. A human author is _____31_____ their work in a way AI is not. Artificial intelligence is not artificial _____32_____: ChatGPT does not know what it is doing; it is unable to say how or why it produced a response; it has no grasp of human experience, and cannot tell if it is _____33_____. While OpenAI has safeguards to refuse inappropriate requests, such as to tell users how to commit crimes, these can be bypassed. AI’s potential for harm should not be _____34_____. In the wrong hands, it could be a weapon of mass destruction.No one knows what will happen to such technologies if the software engineers of the future will themselves be software programs. “Human supervision and _____35_____ are required,” OpenAI’s researchers have warned.21.

A. rejected B. blamed C. underestimated D. contributed35. A. civilization B. caution C. loss D. pressureSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)When was the last time you did something that gave you a genuine sense of achievement?For me it was last week, when I hung a picture on the wall. I know, it sounds a little crazy. But it was an easy project that I’d put off for too long.As accomplishments go, this wasn’t up there with achieving world peace, curing the incurable or running a marathon. Yet that feeling of genuine accomplishment is something that I fear we’re beginning to lose today. Now more than ever, we live in a world of instant gratitude, aided by ever-present digital devices that only feed the desire. News headlines, sports scores and the latest gossip are all a finger-swipe away on our smartphones. In this digital parallel universe, our sense of achievement has become defined by the number of positive reactions we get from posting a cool picture or making a brief comment.Just to be clear, I don’t have a problem with digital devices, apps or social media; I use them every day. Together they’ve helped us connect with others, solve problems and get things done in ways almost no one could have ever imagined. But the problem is: they aren’t very personally fulfilling.So how do we arrive at that genuine sense of achievement, whether it’s at work or our personal life? Daniel Pink, a noted author on work, management and behavioral science, has an interesting theory. When it comes to anything but the most basic tasks, we aren’t very motivated by the “traditional” motivators of fear, money or rewards. Instead, the factors include autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Autonomy represents our desire to be self-directed –to do what we want to do, when and how we want to do it; mastery refers to an essential urge to better our skills and derive satisfaction from doing so; and purpose is our desire to do something that is important and has true meaning, either to ourselves or to others.By tapping into these internal motivators, even unconsciously, we can accomplish great things, like exploring new hobbies or dreams; becoming passionate about our work; and deriving satisfaction from what we do and wanting to do more.We don’t need to achieve world peace or run a marathon to feel a sense of personal achievement. Anything will do—even hanging a few pictures on the wall. But it needs to start by putting our devices aside, at least for a little while.36. According to the passage, the reason why we are beginning to lose the sense of accomplishment is that _________.A. it’s easy for the masses to make a quick and positive commentB. most people fear they can hardly make any accomplishmentC. people tend to express their instant and artificial gratitude through the InternetD. the digital age has influenced our definition of the sense of achievement37. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The author is used to putting off a project for too long.B. Though not personally satisfactory, digital devices are somewhat helpful.C. The author objected to addressing issues with digital devices, apps or social media.D. Achieving world peace or curing the incurable goes beyond what we call achievement.38. The “internal motivators” in paragraph 6 refer to _________.A. fear, money and rewards B. hobbies, dreams and passionC. autonomy, mastery and purpose D. work, management and behavioral science39. What’s the author’s opinion on the sense of personal achievement?A. With digital devices, it is easy to obtain the sense of personal achievementB. Without social media, it is impossible to obtain the sense of personal achievement.C. With Internet personal achievement can only be obtained through great success.D. Without digital devices, the sense of personal achievement can be obtained in daily tasks.(B)Don’t waste your money4 things not to buyAvoiding unforced spending errors will let you save for the stuff you really want.It’s easy to get into a spending rut, buying the same stuff you’ve always bought out of habit or just because your mom always had that kind of soup in her cupboard. But sometimes the same old can cost you. In many cases, making a simple change can save you money, time, and even headaches. We checked with experts in more than a dozen fields to find out what you should stop wasting your money on—and what to spend it on instead.SUPERMARKET FLOWERSThey might look pretty, but resist the temptation to buy bouquets kept in buckets of water near the produce. Some fruits and vegetables give off ethylene gas, which can shorten flowers’ lives, says Amy Stewart, author of Flower Confidential: The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful. “Instead of lasting a couple of weeks, unrefrigerated flowers near the produce section are only likely to last a few days,” she says. If you want flowers that will stay fresh longer, buy blooms that have been kept in a refrigerator.REPLACEMENT TIRES IN PAIRSTires don’t usually go flat in pairs, but the salesperson at the tire store will tell you that you need to buy them two at a time. Unless the tire on the opposite side of the one being replaced has less than 75 percent of its tread, you don’t necessarily have to change it at the same time.EXTRA-FAST INTERNETCompanies such as Xfinity and Google offer home Internet speeds of up to 2,000 Mbps (or 2 Gbps), but unless you are a hard-core online gamer, that blazing-fast service is probably a waste of money. The Federal Communications Commission recommends Internet speeds of 12 to 25 Mbps for most families, even those who stream games or videos. You won’t see a big difference in your everyday browsing speed, but you will see a difference in your bank account. For example, Xfinity charges as little as $40 per month for download speeds of 100 Mbps, $80 for 1,000 Mbps, and a whopping $300 for 2,000 Mbps.FULL-PRICE FURNITUREThe biggest sales at furniture stores typically take place on certain holidays and also at the end of the year. A smart strategy is to shop before those holidays to check prices and then wait to buy at the holiday sales, when much of the inventory could be at least 10 to 20 percent cheaper. And if you want to save even more, ask about buying floor samples. Typically the floor samples are discounted 30 percent to 50 percent during holiday sales. 40. What kind of flowers are the least recommended?A. Refrigerated flowers which are placed near fruits and vegetables.B. Refrigerated flowers which are placed near the dairy section.C. Unrefrigerated flowers which are placed near fruits and vegetables.D. Unrefrigerated flowers which are placed near the dairy section.41. Which of the following statement is TRUE?A. Flowers near the produce section often look pretty than those in other sections.B. 75 percent of the tires at the tire shop need changing because they will go flat.C. Unless you are a passionate online gamer, you don’t need to pursue fast internet speed.D. Furniture stores usually offer an at least 10 percent discount before holidays.42. ________ can benefit most from this article.A. Flower shop owners who want to attract more customersB. Housewives who are asking for recommendations on giftsC. Internet users who are seeking for a more economical serviceD. Newlyweds who need to save money for their future(C)Cars and taxis passed the eighty-four pink granite columns that stood like guards at the front of the station. Pedestrians approached along an elegant arched passageway. The waiting room was fifteen stories high and a block and a half long. In many ways, Pennsylvania Station, also known as Penn Station, was the heart of New York City.Built in 1910, the station was an energetic place. Filled with bustling crowds, Penn Station welcomed travelers with its bright and hearty atmosphere. Getting on or off a train here was an exciting thing to do.By the 1950s, however, fewer people were travelling by train. They had found alternate ways to travel. Airlines carried more and more passengers. New superhighways made driving long distances easier.By the end of the decade, the owners of Penn Station made a fateful decision. They would demolish the famous landmark. In its place, they would build an office building and a sports arena. The plan seemed to make financial sense, but little thought was given to train passengers. People would now have to board trains underground from small waiting areas near the train tunnels.Demolish Penn Station? When New Yorkers heard the plan, they couldn’t believe their ears. One of the city’s finest public places had been given a death sentence, and New Yorkers didn’t like the verdict!Citizens joined together to save the landmark. For months, they would strive to rescue it from the wrecking ball. They pointed out that the station was an architectural treasure. It had played a key role in the life and history of the city. What’s more, the new underground station would be cramped and uncomfortable. A person didn’t have to be very observant to see that.Unfortunately, no one could stop the tragedy. City officials enforced the wishes of the owners, and in 1963, the wrecking balls went to work. Onlookers gazed in horror as an architectural masterpiece crashed to the ground in dust.In the end, New Yorkers resigned themselves to the loss of Penn Station. They had, however, learned a lesson: Landmark buildings had to be saved. A special landmarks commission was formed. Its primary purpose was to identify and protect the city’s finest architecture. Its members recognized that as a city changes and matures, some older buildings do have to be demolished to make room for new ones. Landmarks, however, must be preserved.Ironically, by the 1990s, train travel had picked up at Penn Station, especially among commuters from surrounding towns. The underground station had difficulty handling the raging river of traffic. As predicted, few liked the cramped replacement.Some New Yorkers hope to convert a grand old post office into a new train station. The post office is in the right place and in some ways, it resembles the old Pennsylvania Station. The plan may work, but the major repair will be a very difficult and costly feat. So the tragedy teaches another lesson: Sometimes, it’s better to preserve what we have than to try to replace it.43. Which of the following accounts for the disappearance of the Penn Station?A. Economic consideration. B. Renewed enthusiasm for sports.C. The outdated design of the station. D. Better underground facilities.44. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The New Yorkers cheered at the sight of the crash of the station.B. The members realized that all the old buildings should be preserved.C. It was too late for the city to mend the mistake.D. The replacement of the station was never a problem.45. The underlined word “feat” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.A. scenery B. banquet C. probability D. achievement46. What can be best title of the passage?A. How was the Pennsylvania Station built?B. What happened to the Pennsylvania Station?C. Where should the Pennsylvania Station be built?D. Why should the Pennsylvania Station be recovered?Section CDirections: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.Is Australia an island?Australia is the smallest continent and one of the largest countries on Earth, lying between the Pacific and Indian oceans in the Southern Hemisphere. At about 3 million square miles (7.7 million square km), it’s closer in size to Greenland than it is to South America. Does that make Australia an island like Greenland?Although Australia is sometimes called an “island continent,” most geographers consider islands and continents to be separate things. ____47____ By that definition, Australia can’t be an island because it’s already a continent.But in that case, what’s the difference between Australia and Greenland? Why isn’t Greenland (at 836,000 square miles [2,165,230 square km]) considered a continent instead of just the world’s largest island? Unfortunately, there isn’t a strict scientific definition of a continent. ____48____First, there is a geological distinction. While Australia and most of Asia are situated on separate tectonic plates, Greenland shares a tectonic plate with North America. There is also a biological difference. While a large percentage of Australia’s plant and animal species can be found nowhere else in the world, fewer of Greenland’s species are unique. ____49____ Aboriginal people are limited to Australia, while native Greenlanders belong to a group of peoples (the Inuit) found throughout the Arctic, including parts of Canada, the United States, and Russia.Of course, there’s also the basic matter of size. ____50____ If they were much closer in area, Greenland might have more of a case for continent status (and Australia for island status). As it is, the vast difference between the two makes for a good dividing line.While each of those criteria may not be sufficient on its own — for instance, Europe and Asia also share a tectonic plate but are usually considered separate continents for cultural reasons—together they form a general understanding of what qualifies as a continent.A. Australia is nearly four times as large as Greenland.B. In addition, in terms of anthropology, the scientific study of people, they are different as well.C. Australia is the last of lands only because it was the last continent, apart from Antarctica, to be explored by Europeans.D. According to Britannica, an island is a mass of land that is both “entirely surrounded by water” and also “smaller than a continent.”E. Isolation is also a clear characteristic of the social landscape beyond the large coastal cities.F. But there are a few criteria that are commonly used to distinguish one continent from another.IV.
