Let’s take a look at these traditional events in the UK.

World Gurning Championships

Gurning is a British word meaning to pull a funny facial expression. The World Gurning Championships sets out to crown(加冕) a contestant who can pull the strangest face of all. The contest takes place every year in Egremont, Cumbria, as part of the town’s Crab Fair, which dates back to 1267.

Nettle eating contest

Hosted by the Bottle Inn pub in Marsh wood, Dorset every year, this 20-year-old nettle eating contest sees dozens of competitors take part in eating as many nettle stalks(荨麻茎) as possible within one hour. Winners normally eat around 70ft of nettle stalks!

Whittlesea Straw Bear Festival

Every January, the Whittlesea Straw Bear Festival takes place, which dates back more than 200 years. The strange festival consists of a performer wearing a five-stone metal and straw bear costume, while parading through the town streets with a group of Appalachian and Morris dancers.

Wife carrying race

If you think your husband is strong enough to carry you in a race, then you may be in with a chance of winning this odd tradition, held in Dorking, Surrey every March. The sport actually originates from the Viking invasion(入侵) of 793 AD．The tradition wasn’t revived in the UK until 2008, but now comes with a friendlier feel. The winner receives £100, while the carrier of the heaviest wife is given a pound of sausage.

1．What do we know about World Gurning Championships?

A．It was briefly banned. B．It is part of another activity.

C．It attracts funny-looking players. D．It originates from an English word.

2．Which event has the longest history?

A．Wife carrying race. B．Nettle eating contest.

C．Whittlesea Straw Bear Festival. D．World Gurning Championships.

3．What do the listed events have in common?

A．They are held in the wild. B．They are yearly events.

C．They are invented by farmers. D．They’re only for strong players.

B

For decades, scientists and engineers have been working to develop computer programs that can understand and gen crate natural language. This has been a challenging task, but recent advances in machine learning have allowed us to create powerful language models.

The above paragraph was not written by a human. It was generated by a chatbot called ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence technology designed to mimic human conversation and language while drawing upon a vast wealth of knowledge to answer questions and solve problems. What ChatGPT offers seems more capable―and is potentially even more of a threat to jobs―than existing AI chatbot technology.

AI chatbots have been a routine feature of British life for a few years already. Logging onto many companies’ websites today triggers a popup window saying “Hi, I can answer your questions!” Telephoning restaurant chain Cafe Rouge, for example, puts you through to an audio chatbot that can recognize common questions and plays pre-recorded responses.

While ChatGPT is not infallible, Oxford’s Wooldridge compares its output to well-written undergraduate work. For example, when asked “what is artificial general intelligence” the chatbot responds, “It refers to a type of artificial intelligence that is capable of understanding or learning any intellectual task that a human being can, In other words, AGI is a type of A I that is able to perform any cognitive function that a human being can, rather than being limited to a specific set of tasks.” This level of output poses a threat to those at the lower end of the employment market. According to the Office for National Statistics(ONS), around 1.5 million jobs nationwide can be automated away, with those at greatest risk including restaurant waiters，

Those least likely to sec machines taking over their jobs include legal professionals, doctors and university lecturers. Such occupations are classed as highly skilled. The ONS says, “There is not so much that robots are taking over, but that routine and repetitive tasks which can be carried out more quickly and efficiently by an algorithm written by a human, or a machine designed for one specific function.”

The chairman of Parliament’s Business Committee, Darren Jones, hails Chat GPT as the “start of a new trend” in sophisticated AI tech. He says, “It will become common practice to use tools like this at work with time.”

4．What is the function of Chat GPT?

A．To help humans order food from restaurants.

B．To answer questions and solve problems for humans.

C．To automate away all human jobs sooner or later.

D．To accompany human beings by chatting with them.

5．What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?

A．ChatGPT’s output can be compared with undergraduate work.

B．ChatGPT could threaten lower-end jobs potentially.

C．It explains what artificial general intelligence is.

D．It illustrates that Chat GPT is limited to a specific set of tasks.

6．According to this passage, which of the following careers are most likely to be replaced by ChatGPT?

A．Doctors. B．Lawyers.

C．Musicians. D．Warehouse Keepers.

7．What is the best title for the text?

A．ChatGPT, a Powerful Chatbot Posing Threats to Lower-End Jobs

B．AGI, a Unique Type of AI Performing Cognitive Function

C．AGI, an Outdated AI Technology Taking Over All Jobs

D．ChatGPT, a Routine Feature of Our Daily Life for Years

C

As AI art generators(生成器)take the world by storm, some people wonder if their works should count as art at all. The technology is still developing and has some wrinkles to iron out, which means there are indeed flaws to consider alongside the incredible artwork a good artificial intelligence can produce.

Art is classed as the product of imagination, skill, experience, and emotion, usually meant to represent something for the public to enjoy. Artists spent time and effort putting their inner worlds onto these works. Machine intelligence also puts a lot of work into sorting through tons of data, linking someone’s prompt to datasets, and trying to represent it as best as possible. The difference is that the AI is driven by commands instead of an emotional desire to express itself.

AI painters can produce over 1,000 original works of art with every tap of the enter key on a keyboard. But a mass-produced print of the Mona Lisa is worth less than the actual Leonardo da Vinci’s painting. Why? Scarcity — there’s only one of the original. Should anyone pay for these things? And if an artist puts AI masterpieces up for sale, what should the price be?

AI art involves a program mimicking(模仿)the work of existing artists to create a new piece according to the request of a human. But who made the artwork, the machine or its user? And can the original artists sue for copyright(版权)violation? Such questions complicate the merging of artificial intelligence and the art industry, while fueling arguments against recognizing AI-generated art as marketable artistic products.

Once we’ve answered those questions, we can tackle the really big one: When an AI-generated painting wins an award, who gets the prize?

8．What does the underlined word“flaws”in paragraph 1 probably mean?

A．Benefits. B．Advances. C．Weaknesses. D．Standards.

9．How is AI art different from human art?

A．It is the product of experience. B．It costs less money to produce.

C．It combines different styles of work. D．It is not a mirror of humans’ emotions.

10．Why does the writer mention Mona Lisa in the third paragraph?

A．To prove the popularity of classic artworks.

B．To present the potential trouble with the value of AI art.

C．To show the advantages of AI painters over human artists.

D．To introduce a new way of preserving art masterpieces.

11．What can we infer from paragraph 4?

A．AI art promotes the sale of artistic products.

B．AI art makes copyright issues more complicated.

C．Artists can create more works with the help of AI.

D．There will be fierce competition in the art industry.

第二节（满分20分）

48．阅读下面材料， 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段， 使之构成一篇完整的短文。

In 1989, fresh out of high school, I was faced with a difficult choice of a career path before college started in three months. In those days in Pakistan, there were limited choices: becoming a doctor or an engineer, or entering the financial world after getting a business degree. I wasn’t interested in engineering, so that I was left with medicine or business. I couldn’t decide.

My uncle suggested that I do a work placement to experience it for a month in an international company followed by a month in a hospital. After that, I could make a decision. It seemed like a good idea.

I was accepted for a month’s placement at a foreign bank in Karachi. I got a feel for how the world of finance worked, made new friends, and generally enjoyed the mostly easy-going work environment.

The month passed rapidly, and soon I began working at a leading hospital in Karachi. The experience was quite different. The hospital days started early (at 7 a．m. , compared with 9 a．m. at the bank), and were filled with endless duties. And the night calls! This was crazy, working all day, through the night, and again in the next day.

I began thinking about my two experiences. The bank had offered a more relaxing atmosphere, better working hours and less stress. The hospital had an intense environment, and the studying and training was difficult. It seemed that business was a better choice.

Near the end of my month at the hospital, I was driving home after a very busy night call. In front of me was a public bus, with some boys sitting on the top. As the driver weaved through traffic, I could see the boys shaking from side to side.

注意：

1．续写的词数应为150左右;

2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

Suddenly, a boy fell off the back of the bus. ______________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The next day, when I went to hospital to see the boy, all his family got up, with grateful smiles on their faces._____________________________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
