13．A．He founded the Natural Resources Defense Council.
B．It was great to tell vaquitas good stories.
C．All work would be meaningless without continuous efforts.
D．The parties should record their actions with cameras.
【答案】11．B    12．D    13．C
【原文】
The vaquita is one of the smallest members of the dolphin and whale family. Today, the animal is in danger of disappearing.
The World Wildlife Fund estimates that about 10 vaquitas are left in the world. Last September, scientists found two baby vaquitas in the wild. The discovery was a sign of hope. But biologists fear that more vaquitas die each year than are born.
A vaquita is about 1.5 meter long. Its name means “little cow” in Spanish. The mammals only live in the northern part of the Gulf of California in Mexico. They are most often found close to the coast and quickly swim away if a boat nears them.
The creatures were first discovered by humans in 1958. They can live for at least 21 years. Females are believed to give birth every other year to a single offspring between February and April.
The vaquita population was estimated to be around 600 in 1997. The organization Save the Vaquita said the population decreased 90 percent between 2011 and 2016.
Vaquitas are often caught in fixed fishing nets used to catch fish such as totoaba. Fishermen catch the endangered totoaba illegally with such nets for cash, which is very likely to get vaquitas trapped as well.
In 2017, the Mexican government banned the use of such nets in the area to help save the vaquita. In January, the Mexican Navy and the environmental group Sea Shepherd began a campaign to protect the rare animal’s habitat in the Gulf of California.
To prevent illegal fishing, local fishermen must pass a government inspection. But the Reuters news agency recently reported that it observed fishermen entering the sea in places where they could avoid inspection.
Zak Smith is a director with the Natural Resources Defense Council. He said there was always a “good story” to be told about what was being done for the vaquita.
But he said, “As soon as the cameras go away or the interest of the parties fades, all of those efforts go back to where they were.”
Questions:
11.Which of the following description about vaquita is true?
12.What did the Mexican government do to protect vaquitas?
13.What can we infer from Mr. Zak Smith’s comment?
Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage. 
14．A．It solved all psychological problems.
B．It lacked attention on what was good about life.
C．It ignored research into treating mental illnesses.
D．It was developing too slowly.
15．A．It was confused with positive thinking. B．It’s still not a science yet.
C．It ignores individual diversity. D．It doesn’t present enough findings.
16．A．The origin and facts of positive psychology.
B．The advantages of positive psychology.
C．People’s opinions about positive psychology.
D．The special cases in positive psychology.
【答案】14．B    15．C    16．A
【原文】
While psychologists have studied topics like happiness, satisfaction and other human strengths for decades, positive psychology wasn’t officially identified as a branch of psychology until 1998 when Martin Seligman was elected president of the American Psychological Association. Seligman suggested that psychology had become too focused on mental illness. Although such an attitude had produced valuable treatments that helped people become less unhappy, it also meant that psychology was neglecting what was good about life.
Seligman called for research into what makes normal people’s lives positive and fulfilling. He stated that psychology should be just as concerned with creating the good things in life as it is with fixing the bad. From these ideas, positive psychology was born. Interest in positive psychology has remained high ever since. Research in the field has generated tens of thousands of academic papers.
Today, positive psychology is sometimes confused with positive thinking. In essence, positive psychology is a science, and therefore, it uses research based on the scientific methods to reach its conclusions. In comparison, positive thinking is rather a thinking pattern.
Despite its ongoing popularity, positive psychology has still been criticized by some people. A major concern is that positive psychology fails to take individual differences into account. Instead it presents findings as if they will work for everyone in the same way. As a result, the science doesn’t work well in many cases.
(Now listen again, please.)
Questions:
14. What did Seligman think of traditional psychology?
15. What is positive psychology blamed for?
16. What is the passage mainly about?

【答案】
21．being perceived    22．Since    23．so    24．where    25．of which    26．revealing    27．of    28．we    29．faced    30．With
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了疫情期间，美国针对亚洲人的仇恨犯罪和偏见事件显著增加，文章的发布者开展了Stop Asian Hate运动，希望能给受到歧视的亚洲人帮助。
21．考查非谓语动词和语态。句意：根据《人权法》，基于种族、国籍、年龄和残疾的歧视，包括曾经或被认为接触过COVID-19，是非法的。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词is，所以perceive应该用非谓语形式，它的逻辑主语是人，两者是被动关系，应该用被动语态，又此处和前文的having并列，应该用动名词形式，所以应该用动名词的被动语态。故填being perceived。
22．考查介词。句意：自疫情开始以来，针对亚洲人的仇恨犯罪和偏见事件出现了令人不安的显著增加。根据句意可知，表达“自…以来”之意，应用since，位于句首，首字母应大写。故填Since。
23．考查连词。句意：值得注意的是，仇恨犯罪和偏见事件被发现严重漏报，因此这些数字只反映了一小部分。分析句子结构可知，“It is crucial to note that hate crimes and bias incidents have been found to be vastly under-reported”和“these numbers reflect just a fraction”两句话构成因果关系，所以应该用连词so连接。故填so。
24．考查定语从句关系词。句意：我们都希望生活在一个没有偏见的世界，每个人都有权利为自己感到自豪。分析句子结构可知，and连接的是两个定语从句修饰world，所以空处引导的是定语从句，从句中结构完整，先行词是world，在从句中做地点状语，应该用where引导。故填where。
25．考查定语从句关系词。句意：我们已经与其他机构联手，为您带来一些停止亚洲仇恨运动的资源，其目的是结束对东亚和东南亚人(ESEA)的种族主义浪潮。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词是movement，从句中aim缺少定语，因为前有the修饰，不能用whose，引导，所以应该用of which引导。故填of which。
26．考查非谓语动词。句意：在美国发生了几起悲惨的死亡事件，几项研究揭示了针对这一少数族裔的种族主义的真实增长之后，“停止亚洲仇恨”(Stop Asian Hate)运动就正在发生的事情展开了一场对话。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词started，所以reveal用非谓语形式，逻辑主语是studies，两者间是主动关系，描述的是已发生的事，所以用现在分词形式。故填revealing。
27．考查介词。句意：你可以在这个网站上找到关于它的一切，如果你正在处理种族主义的影响，你可以获得资源和支持来帮助你。分析句子结构可知，此处考查固定搭配：impact of ...意为“...（产生）的影响”。故填of。
28．考查代词。句意：努力建设一个不存在种族主义的世界对我们来说总是很重要的，也是我们需要努力实现的目标。分析句子结构可知，空处所在句子是一个定语从句，关系代词在从句中做宾语而省略，所以从句中缺少主语，根据句意可知，表达的是“我们需要努力”之意。故填we。
29．考查非谓语动词。句意：问题是，很多关于种族主义的对话都没有区分受影响的多个群体，而且ESEA人面临的问题与其他有色人种完全不同。分析句子结构可知，本句是who引导的定语从句，and引导的并列句，后句已有谓语动词will be，所以face应该用非谓语动词形式，逻辑主语是issues，两者间是被动关系，应该用过去分词表被动。故填faced。
30．考查介词。句意：随着攻击和仇恨犯罪的增长，我们希望给你一些工具，让你能够理解我们声音的价值和必要性，以及如何站出来反击。根据句意可知，此处表达“随着攻击和仇恨犯罪的增长”之意，作伴随状语，应该用with引导，位于句首，首字母应大写。故填With。

56．推理判断题。根据表格左部分，第三个表格中第一段中“Computers were supposed to make our lives simpler, but they’ve gotten so complicated that they are not worth the trouble.  If this sounds familiar, we have great news for you.  There is finally a computer that’s designed for simplicity and ease of use.  It’s the WOW Computer, and it was designed with you in mind.(计算机本应使我们的生活更简单，但它们已经变得如此复杂，以至于不值得为它们费心。如果这听起来很熟悉，我们有好消息要告诉你。终于有了一款设计简单易用的电脑。这是WOW电脑，它是为你而设计的)”以及第三段中“Call now, and you’ll find out why tens of thousands of satisfied seniors are now enjoying their WOW Computers, emailing their grandchildren, and experiencing everything the Internet has to offer.(现在打电话，你会发现为什么成千上万的老年人现在正在享受他们的WOW电脑，给他们的孙子孙女发电子邮件，体验互联网所提供的一切)”可推知，作者最有可能的意思是WOW电脑是专为老年人量身定做的。故选C项。
57．细节理解题。根据表格左部分，第三个表格中第二段中“Then you’ll see the screen— it’s now 22 inches.  This is a completely new touch screen system.  The “buttons” on the screen are easy to see and easy to understand.  All you do is touch one of them, from the Web, Email, Calendar to Games(然后你会看到屏幕——现在是22英寸。这是一个全新的触摸屏系统。屏幕上的“按钮”很容易看到和理解。你所要做的就是触摸其中一个，从网页、电子邮件、日历到游戏)”以及小黑点部分“Send & Receive Emails(发送和接收邮件)”和“Play games Online: Hundreds to choose from!(在线玩游戏:数百个选择!)”可知WOW电脑只能发送和接收邮件，而不能读邮件给使用者，所以玛丽，一个77岁的老太太，视力不好，不会因为它能读邮件给使用者而决定买一台WOW电脑。故选A项。
58．细节理解题。根据表格右部分，最下方表格“FREE：Automatic Software Updates(免费的软件自动更新)”可知，软件更新是免费的，所以A项错误。B项文中没有提及，所以错误。根据表格右部分NEW部分中“Intel® processor— lightning fast(英特尔®处理器-闪电般的速度)”可知，C项错误。再根据表格左部分，第三个表格中最后一段“Mention promotional code 117238 for introductory pricing.(在介绍价格时，请注明促销代码117238)”可知，有促销价格是它的一个卖点。故选D项。

Given the buzz it’s created, there’s a good chance you’ve heard about ChatGPT. It’s an interactive chatbot powered by machine learning. The technology has basically devoured the entire Internet, reading the collective works of humanity and learning patterns in language that it can recreate. All you have to do is give it a prompt (提示), and ChatGPT can do an endless array of things: write a story in a particular style, answer a question, explain a concept, compose an email—write a college essay-and it will spit out coherent, seemingly human—written text in seconds. The technology is both awesome and terrifying.
22-year-old Edward Tian is working feverishly on a new app to combat misuse of ChatGPT.
Over the last couple years, Tian has been studying an AI system called GPT-3, a predecessor to ChatGPT that was less user-friendly and largely inaccessible to the general public because it was behind a paywall. As part of his studies this fall semester, Tian researched how to detect text written by the AI system while working at Princeton’s Natural Language Processing Lab.
Then, as the semester was coming to a close, OpenAI, the company behind GPT-3 and other AI tools, released ChatGPT to the public for free. For the millions of people around the world who have used it since, interacting with the technology has been like getting a peek into the future; a future that not too long ago would have seemed like science fiction.
For many users of the new technology, wonderment quickly turned to alarm. How-many jobs will this kill? Will this empower nefarious (恶意的) actors and further corrupt our public discourse (公共话语)? How will this disrupt our education system? What is the point of learning to write essays at school when AI-which is expected to get exponentially better in the near future-can do that for us?
Tian had an idea. What if he applied what he had learned at school over the last couple years to help the public identify whether something has been written by a machine?
Tian already had the know-how and even the software on his laptop to create such a program. Ironically, this software, called GitHub Co-Pilot, is powered by GPT-3. With its assistance, Tian was able to create a new app within three days. It’s a testament to the power of this technology to make us more productive.
On January 2nd, Tian released his app GPTZero. It basically uses ChatGPT against itself, checking whether “there’s zero involvement or a lot of involvement” of the AI system in creating a given text.
When Tian went to bed that night, he didn’t expect much for his app. When he woke up, his phone had blown up. He saw countless texts and DMs from journalists, principals, teachers, you name it, from places as far away as France and Switzerland. His app, which is hosted by a free platform, became so popular it crashed. Excited by the popularity and purpose of his app, the hosting platform has since granted Tian the resources needed to scale the app’s services to a mass audience.
59．Which of the following statements is TRUE about GPT-3?
A．It’s designed and researched by Edward Tian in Princeton University
B．Not many ordinary people have used it because it is not free.
C．It is in the same AI system series as ChatGPT and GPTZero.
D．It used to be less user-friendly than ChatGPT but has outdone it now.
60．Wonderment at ChatGPT quickly turned to alarm because many users have the following concerns over ChatGPT EXCEPT _______.
A．AI may replace human beings in the future when it comes to writing essays.
B．Actors may turn bad or even evil if the new technology is adopted in acting.
C．The education system may be badly impacted by the misuse of the new technology.
D．Many people may be out of employment because of the new technology.
61．Principals and teachers may get interested in Edward Tian’s new app probably because _______.
A．the app is hosted by a free platform which is very popular.
B．they know many journalists are also very interested in it.
C．they are eager to share the resources Edward Tian is granted.
D．they are worried about the possibility of students cheating in writing.
62．Which of the following expressions can best describe the principle behind GPTZero?
A．Harm set, harm get. B．Birds of a feather flock together.
C．Fight a man with his own weapon. D．Great minds think alike.
【答案】59．B    60．B    61．D    62．C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者主要介绍了一位22岁的年轻人试图阻止ChatGPT颠覆写作。
59．细节理解题。由文第三段第一句“Over the last couple years, Tian has been studying an AI system called GPT-3, a predecessor to ChatGPT that was less user-friendly and largely inaccessible to the general public because it was behind a paywall.”（在过去的几年里，田一直在研究一个名为GPT-3的人工智能系统，这是ChatGPT的前身，它对用户是不太友好的，而且公众基本上无法访问，因为它位于收费墙后面。）可知，GPT-3是需要收费的，一般人不使用它，故选B项。
60．细节理解题。由文第五段“For many users of the new technology, wonderment quickly turned to alarm. How-many jobs will this kill? Will this empower nefarious (恶意的) actors and further corrupt our public discourse(公共话语)? How will this disrupt our education system? What is the point of learning to write essays at school when AI-which is expected to get exponentially better in the near future-can do that for us? ”（对于许多该项新技术的用户来说，惊奇很快变成了恐慌。这会消灭多少工作？这会使邪恶势力强大吗？并进一步败坏我们的公共话语? 这将如何破坏我们的教育系统？当人工智能有望在不久的将来取得指数级的进步时，在学校学习写论文有什么意义？）可知，作者并没有谈到对演员和表演行业的影响，故选B项。
61．推理判断题。由倒数第二段末句“It basically uses ChatGPT against itself, checking whether “there’s zero involvement or a lot of involvement” of the AI system in creating a given text.”（基本上，它使用ChatGPT来对抗自身，检查人工智能系统在创建给定文本时是“零参与还是大量参与”。）可知，校长和老师可以用这个来测试学生是否在写作时作弊。由此推知，这很有可能是他们对田的新应用感兴趣的原因。故选D项。
62．推理判断题。由倒数第二段最后一句“It basically uses ChatGPT against itself, checking whether “there’s zero involvement or a lot of involvement” of the AI system in creating a given text.”（基本上，它使用ChatGPT来对抗自身，检查人工智能系统在创建给定文本时是“零参与还是大量参与”。）可知，该技术的逻辑是用自己来打败自己，C项“Fight a man with his own weapon.”（用他自己的武器去打一个人）符合该语义逻辑，故选C项。
C
Remember This
There are a handful of people with uncommonly good memories. But AJ is unique. Her extraordinary memory is not for facts or figures, but for aspects of her own life. Such a memory for autobiographical detail was previously unknown and neuroscientists have coined a new term to describe her condition: hyperthymestic syndrome (超忆综合症).
It would seem initially as though having a memory like AJ’s would make life qualitatively different — and better. Our culture bombards us with new information, yet so little of it is captured and cataloged in such a way that it can be retrieved later. What would it mean to have all that otherwise lost knowledge at our fingertips? It would be a great benefit if it made us more confident and, in some fundamental sense, smarter. To the extent that experience is the sum of our memories, and wisdom the sum of experience, having a better memory would mean knowing more about the world and about oneself. How many worthwhile ideas have gone unthought because of our memory’s shortcomings?
The greatest geniuses in ancient and medieval times were described as people of superior memories, and there is a long tradition of memory training in many cultures. But over the past millennium, we’ve gradually replaced our internal memory with what psychologists refer to as external memory, a vast superstructure of technological crutches that mean we don’t have to store information in our brains. We have calendars to keep track of our schedules, books (and now the internet) to store our collective knowledge, and photographs to record our experiences. But has anything been lost in this process?
The whole point of our nervous system is to develop a sense of what is happening in the present and what is about to happen in the future, so that we can respond in the best possible way. Our brains are fundamentally prediction machines, and to work they have to find order in the chaos of possible memories. Our brains receive a huge amount of data but most of this does not need to be reflected upon or remembered.
Not surprisingly, drug companies are searching for chemicals that might halt the tide of forgetting. But this raises some troubling ethical questions. Would we choose to live in a society where people have vastly better memories? In fact, what would it even mean to have a better memory? Would it mean remembering things only exactly as they happened, free from the revisions and exaggerations that our mind naturally creates? Would it mean having a memory that forgets traumas (创伤) ? Would it mean becoming AJ?
63．In the second paragraph, what is the writer’s attitude towards people having better memories?
A．He thinks only a few people are capable of achieving this.
B．He believes some information in our culture is not worth acquiring.
C．He is confident that scientific progress will ensure this in the near future.
D．He appreciates that our lives might improve as a consequence.
64．What is the writer’s purpose in the third paragraph?
A．To compare attitudes towards collective knowledge.
B．To illustrate the growing use of aids to memory.
C．To describe how psychology has affected our understanding of memory.
D．To explain how improved knowledge has led to technological development.
65．The word “chaos” in paragraph 4 is used to refer to______.
A．some people’s perception of the world they live in
B．the many conflicting opinions about how the brain functions
C．the result of people not getting rid of irrelevant information
D．different ways in which a damaged brain can impair memory
66．What does the writer suggest about the development of memory drugs?
A．Many people are opposed to this kind of research.
B．It is hard to be precise about their effect.
C．The benefits for society would be immense.
D．Trauma victims should be a priority.
【答案】63．D    64．B    65．C    66．A
【导语】本文为一篇议论文。有非凡的记忆力可能会有更好的生活质量，随着技术的发展，人们生活中出现了越来越多的记忆辅助工具，外部记忆取代了内部记忆，甚至有公司在研制记忆的药，但这项研究会引发一些令人不安的伦理问题。
63．推理判断题。根据第二段“It would seem initially as though having a memory like AJ’s would make life qualitatively different — and better. (起初，似乎拥有AJ这样的记忆会让生活在质量上有所不同——而且更好)”，以及“To the extent that experience is the sum of our memories, and wisdom the sum of experience, having a better memory would mean knowing more about the world and about oneself. (在一定程度上，经验是我们记忆的总和，智慧是经验的总和，拥有更好的记忆意味着对世界和自己有更多的了解)”可知，作者认为：如果拥有好的记忆，生活质量会更好。故选D项。
64．推理判断题。根据第三段“The greatest geniuses in ancient and medieval times were described as people of superior memories, and there is a long tradition of memory training in many cultures. But over the past millennium, we’ve gradually replaced our internal memory with what psychologists refer to as external memory, a vast superstructure of technological crutches that mean we don’t have to store information in our brains. We have calendars to keep track of our schedules, books (and now the internet) to store our collective knowledge, and photographs to record our experiences. But has anything been lost in this process? (在古代和中世纪，最伟大的天才被描述为记忆力超强的人，在许多文化中都有训练记忆力的悠久传统。但在过去的一千年里，我们逐渐用心理学家所说的外部记忆取代了我们的内部记忆，这是一个巨大的技术支柱的上层建筑，这意味着我们不必在大脑中存储信息。我们有日历来记录我们的日程安排，有书籍（现在还有互联网）来存储我们的集体知识，有照片来记录我们的经历。但在这一过程中，我们失去了什么吗)”可知，古代和中世纪时人们靠内部记忆，靠大脑储存信息，在过去的一千年，因为知识、技术的发展，人们靠日历、书籍、网络、照片来储存信息，这些方式被称之为外部记忆，作者在这一段中主要举例阐明了生活中越来越多的记忆辅助工具的使用。故选B项。
65．词句猜测题。根据第四段“Our brains are fundamentally prediction machines, and to work they have to find order in the chaos of possible memories. Our brains receive a huge amount of data but most of this does not need to be reflected upon or remembered. (我们的大脑本质上是一台预测机器，为了工作，它们必须在chaos的可能记忆中找到秩序。我们的大脑接收了大量的数据，但其中大部分不需要反思或记住。)”可知，大脑接收到的大量信息，大部分属于无关的信息，句中的find order，意为“找到秩序”，此处指“在包含大量无关信息中找秩序，找到有用的信息”，故chaos指代“人们大脑中因大量的无法摆脱的无关的信息的存在而产生的混乱状态”，故选C项。
66．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Not surprisingly, drug companies are searching for chemicals that might halt the tide of forgetting. But this raises some troubling ethical questions. Would we choose to live in a society where people have vastly better memories? In fact, what would it even mean to have a better memory? Would it mean remembering things only exactly as they happened, free from the revisions and exaggerations that our mind naturally creates? Would it mean having a memory that forgets traumas (创伤) ? Would it mean becoming AJ? (毫不奇怪，制药公司正在寻找可能阻止遗忘潮流的化学物质。但这引发了一些令人不安的伦理问题。我们会选择生活在一个人们记忆力大大提高的社会里吗？事实上，拥有更好的记忆力究竟意味着什么呢？这是否意味着只准确地记住发生的事情，不受我们大脑自然产生的修改和夸大的影响？是否意味着拥有忘记记忆创伤？这意味着成为AJ吗？)”可知，研制记忆类的药可以阻止遗忘，但是也会带来诸多负面影响，所以作者用了多个问句质疑的写作手法，表明：很多人对这类研究会质疑、反对。故选A项。
Section C(共 4 题，每小题 2 分，满分 8 分)
Directions: 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.
It is believed that greed and selfishness has become the basis of modern society, and we should return to the old traditions of family and community. Then we will have a better life. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion? ____67____ While people traditionally regard caring, sharing and generosity the most important in life and work, modern people seem to be more self-absorbed and self-concerned.
____68____ They say that it is a jungle out there. To survive, you have to fight with whatever means that come handy. Obviously greedy and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas. In a company, employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position, even at the cost of colleagues. We are in no way advocating any selfish conduct. It is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences.
Despite common practice, it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and selfishness, both of which are not newly invented vocabulary. In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more condemned (被宣告有罪的) then. ____69____ Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them? There is no fixed answer either. Some people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite. ____70____ Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a mutually beneficial relationship.
In conclusion, modern people appear to be more self-centered than those in the past due to strong outside pressure. However, we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficial relationship with others.
A．Modern people behave selfishly to survive the harsh competition of life.
B．Being selfish seems reasonable in the modern society.
C．In the world which is developing so fast, many values are undergoing major changes.
D．But old traditions regarding human relationships are not out-of-date.
E．But we cannot ignore the fact that people in the past live a relatively more isolated life and faced less pressure compared with their modern counterparts.
F．But I personally think that people should not be too selfish.
【答案】67．C    68．A    69．E    70．F
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章首先提出一种说法：贪婪和自私成了现代社会的基础。作者分析了现代人如此表现的原因，并与以前人们进行比较讨论了自私和慷慨的利害，最后指出我们应当知晓关怀和慷慨的重要性、尝试与他人建立良好关系。
67．空白前句是作者提出的问题“To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion?（在多大程度上你同意或不同意以上观点？）”，其中的the above opinion就是文章开头抛出的观点，即现代人过于贪婪自私，应当回归传统。C选项“在当今这个发展迅速的世界里，许多价值都在发生重大改变”与下文“While people traditionally regard caring, sharing and generosity the most important in life and work, modern people seem to be more self-absorbed and self-concerned.（过去人们会把关怀、分享和慷慨看作生活和工作中最重要的东西，而现在的人们似乎更关注自己）”中描述的价值观改变相呼应，符合逻辑。故选C项。
68．空白句处于第二段段首。从下一句“They say that it is a jungle out there.（他们说这就像一片丛林）”开始，本段就描摹了现代人为了生存用上了自私和贪婪的手段，普通的雇员为了薪酬和升迁也要不惜代价，A选项“现代人表现得自私是为了熬过生活的激烈竞争”恰好点明了这样的主题，适合作为段首主题句。故选A项。
69．本段是对“贪婪与自私”的利害的集中讨论，作者首先对现代社会建立在贪婪和自私上予以否定，然后提出“In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more condemned (被宣告有罪的) then.（古时候人们也会做贪婪和自私的事，尽管那时这样的行为都会被判有罪）”，E选项“但我们不能无视一个事实，比起现代，过去的人们生活都相对更加孤独，面临的压力也更少”与前文陈述以前人们的情况作出对照，逻辑上构成转折，且衔接到下文讨论自私和慷慨哪个更让人快乐是通顺的。故选E项。
70．本段中从问句“Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them?（我们会因为与他人分享、对他人慷慨而感到更快乐吗？）”开始展开自私和慷慨哪个更让人快乐的讨论，作者表示没有固定的答案“There is no fixed answer either.”，而F选项“但我个人认为人们不应该太自私”则表达了作者的主观看法，这与下一句“Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a mutually beneficial relationship.（关心他人真的能鼓励彼此之间的关系有利发展）”传达的意思也是相符的。故选F项。
IV Summary Writing(满分 10 分)
71. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
The risk of pre-schooling
“Young children learning to read is one of the most important things primary education does. It’s fundamental to children making progress in life,” says Dominic Wyse, a professor of primary education at University College London, in the UK. “While learning literacy is vital to childern, the way we teach it really matters.”
In a 2022 report, he states that English school system’s intense focus on phonics – a method that involves matching the sound of a spoken word or letter, with individual written letters, through a process called “sounding out” – could be failing some children. A reason for this is that the tests used to assess that early learning may have little to do with the skills actually needed to read and enjoy books or other meaningful texts. For example, the tests may ask pupils to “sound out” and spell nonsense words, to prevent them from simply guessing, or recognising familiar words. Since nonsense words are not meaningful language, children may find the task difficult and puzzling. It doesn’t end up being meaningful, it ends up being memorising rather than understanding context.
Children who attend intensive preschools do not have higher academic abilities in later grades than those who did not attend such preschools, several studies now show. Early education can however have a positive impact on social development – which in turn feeds into the likelihood of graduation from school and university as well as being associated with lower crime rates. In short, attending preschool can have positive effects on later achievement in life, but not necessary on academic skills.
Too much academic pressure may even cause problems in the long run. A study published in January 2022 suggested that those who attended a preschool with a strong academic emphasis, showed lower academic achievements a few years later, compared to those who had not gained a place.

【答案】Learning literacy is important for children, and how they learn it counts. A study shows too much phonics learning negatively affects children because passing the tests only requires meaningless pronunciation and spelling instead of understanding. Although pre-schooling does good to the development of society, studies also show too much of it has nothing to do with later academic achievements.
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章从英国所做的一项学前儿童的自然拼读实验得出结论：参加强化学前教育的孩子在以后的学习能力上和没有参加学前教育的孩子相差无几，相反太多的学业压力会对孩子未来的学术成就产生消极影响。

【参考范文】
As can be seen from the chart, Senior Three students have different ways to spend their weekends. Different people hold different opinions. Most students would like to go back home and have a good rest, while 25% of the students choose to study at school during weekends. The least students, accounting for 15%, are willing to take outdoor activities to spend their weekends.
Various reasons are responsible for their different choices. To begin with, those who choose to go back home believe that a good rest does help them relax and work more efficiently during the school time. What’s more, outdoor-activity lovers hold the opinion that taking exercise is a wonderful way to refresh themselves. However, a small number of students living far away from home tend to stay at school to save every minute to study.
As far as I am concerned, despite such problems, I hold the view that we should learn to relax ourselves besides concentrating on our studies. As we all know, a good rest and proper exercise can be of vital importance. Only in this way can we improve our efficiency and make our weekends meaningful.
